Women rule across Canada
Last week, the woman who could quite reasonably be described as the most powerful on the planet (and your former senator) took her leave from government -- for now, writes Canadian columnist Peter Black.
Cold snap and energy consumption
Whenever we have a cold snap like the one that invaded our part of the world this week, I think of my fellow Canadians in Alberta, who supply the natural gas that fuels our furnace, whose blue flames heat the water that flows through pipes and radiators and heats our house,writes Canadian columnist Peter Black.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Italy >
Most of us are so utterly used to very territorial notions of citizenship that it is hard to get our heads around places that defy the norm. We have long noticed that citizens of southern Limburg, and especially in and around the city of Maastricht, seem considerably less Dutch (and conversely much more European) than folk in other parts of the Netherlands. And so in Trieste, which always seems to us the most un-Italian part of Italy.
We were in Trieste for a few days prior to Easter and were so very struck by the city's role as a microcosm of European life. The "Triestini" gaze from a distance at the Italian mainstream – no surprise perhaps, for the city is on a slender slither of Italian territory that juts into neighboring Slovenia.
A plurality of religions and cultures
The fact is that Trieste is a long way from Italy's principal cities: over four hours from Milan and over eight hours from Rome on the very fastest trains. But it is worth the haul, for Trieste is truly something special. It is a city that lies at the crossroads of Europe, a place with a distinctly central European demeanor perched on the edge of the Adriatic. Trieste is cosmopolitan and challenging with its mix of Austro-Hungarian, Italian, Slovene and wider Slavic and Balkan influences.
Look for the soul of Trieste in the city's eclectic range of churches and other places of worship. The synagogue was, when it was first opened, the largest anywhere in Europe. Throw in a Catholic cathedral or two, a Greek Orthodox and a Serbian Orthodox church, even an Evangelical Lutheran church, and you get a sense of the plurality of cultures that have influenced and still help shape Trieste.
A city full of history
This is a city with space, a place where visitors and locals can stretch out and relax, and one blessed with a fabulous hinterland. The old Venetian city of Pirano is just over the border in Slovenia – nowadays it is known as Piran. Miramare Castle on the outskirts of Trieste, was once the stunning seaside home of Maxmillian of Habsburg, a place which Max was prevented from really enjoying by his premature death in central America while affecting to be Emperor of Mexico. Just north of the city is the superb Cividale valley, the very heart of Friulian culture (with some tasty Merlot wines, too).
Trieste travel tips
Go to Trieste and allow yourself to be surprised by the beguiling mix of accents and voices; Friulian blending into both Tergestino and Slovene. Allow a few days to strike out from the city, taking in Cividale, sedate Grado, edgy Gorizia, and beautiful Palmanova, as well as heading across the border into Istria.
The Friulia-Venezia-Guilia Card is a great value and covers entry into museums, galleries, and other attractions (including Miramare) on the Italian side of the border.
And pack a copy of Jan Morris' Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, which we rate as one of the very finest pieces of travel writing published in the last ten years.
There's nothing more intriguing (or stunning!) than another empty Hapsburg castle!
Well, curiously Matt, Miremare is not empty – and that's the appeal of the place. We think Miremare is quite remarkable, because of the way in which every detail of Habsburg life has been preserved there. It is in a very fine setting by the sea (absolutely unrivalled in that respect by any other K&K Schloss). When we were last there (on a beautiful sunny afternoon about ten days ago), it was striking just how few visitors there were. Trieste is off the regular tourist trails.
Jan Morris, to whom we alluded in our original posting, described the Trieste region as "a great place for contemplative escape… a great place for sitting on quaysides in the sunshine, thinking about history, and toying with the idea of writing…". Trieste is full of spots so conducive to such contemplation. And Miramare would be top of our list. Try it, sometime, Mutt. If you can afford to take a week or two out of a busy life, try Trieste. And savour Miremare from every angle, inside and out. It is worth the time.

> loading multiple variables from .txt file
View Full Version :
loading multiple variables from .txt file
can i save to and load from a .txt file multiple variables? how does flash recognize that a .txt file has multiple variables in it?
to read text files into flash they have to be in a set format which is:
var1=value&var2=value&var3=value and so on....
The & represents the start of a new variable.
To save variables to a textfile on your webserver will require some form of middlware ie. php3,perl,asp
To save them to the local machine you can use:
pc only
if you need more let me know!
well, i guess my question really is:
how can i save multiple variables to a .txt file from different sources? if i have 17 text boxes labeled txt01-17, how can i write the info contained in all of these boxes to a single .txt file at diferent times? i am making a calendar/schedule keeper for my companys intranet, which will run from the desktop... basically an all-inclusive 'app' to take the place of Outlook, which will launch all regularly used apps, among other things.
anyway, i want to keep the amount of space on the HD to a minimum, fewer .txt files and make it easier on myself to code this monster, which explains my need for a single .txt for each section of the 'app':
schedule, department calendar, e-mail, 'stickyNotes'.
one other thing:
how can i get Flash to update a textBox from info JUST entered? user inputs data into schedule for February 11, 2001 @ 3:00 pm. press 'SAVE' button and info is then updated instantly to a predetermined textField.
the way it works now, i have to press a button to update the data into the text field, but can i use the same button to set the text into a .txt file AND read from the same .txt files @ the same time? like i said, @ the moment, i have to press the 'SAVE' button twice to make this happen; once to save the data and again to load it.

Lomography more than a passion can be an addiction. Remembering how it all started, it's quite difficult to identify how I exactly ran into it, because it was a very long transition from digital to analog that finally made me decide to buy my first Lomo camera.
It could seem a paradox, but it all started from NOT photographing ANYMORE. It was the high school era for me. My parents bought me a brand new digital camera, nothing so professional because it was not a good idea to invest so much money to buy a pro-camera, since I was only a little boy. I started using that camera very often, but I started realizing little by little that I didn't like my pictures so much, so every time I needed to use Photoshop to "enhance" them.
Since that period, I started gradually hating the activity of taking pictures: it was really annoying, because the best pictures were only the ones that were heavily modified with the computer. I felt it didn't make any sense. I started hating that kind of philosophy, while most of my friends started getting into Photoshop courses.
So I started NOT photographing ANYMORE, thinking at the same time that film photography was too difficult for a non-expert boy like me.
After 2 years of stop, I ran into the Lomography website. After that first approach, I continued thinking that film photography wasn't for me: too many costs, scanning, always going to the lab, time to wait, etc. The need of making pictures was too heavy, so few weeks later I started thinking about what camera I should buy. The answer was Fed 5b. I decided that I needed a fully not automatic camera; the first approach wasn't good at all.
Then I bought the LC-A, the original one. I found on eBay this guy from Estonia who was selling it at an honest price, so I took it. It was produced in 1986. Why did I buy that camera? I thought that my first approach was wrong—the Fed 5b is a too heavy camera and not made for beginners. Then I thought that starting from the original old LC-A was the right way to understand for real Lomography. And that happened. I fell in love with that camera, since from the real beginning, with basic color negative film.
The rest of the story you can find in my LomoHome.
The Lomo LC-A is the camera that started the Lomography movement. With full controls and wide ISO range, this automatic gem is perfect for beginners and professionals alike. Get your own Refurbished LC-A in our Shop!

Who Wants to Win……..a Baby?!?!?
Plunging to new depths in the battle for television ratings, abandoned babies are being given out as prizes on a controversial prime-time game show in Pakistan.
TV host Aamir Liaquat Hussain presented baby girls to two unsuspecting couples during his show, which is broadcast live for seven hours a day during the month of Ramadan.
Another baby, a boy, is due to be given to another couple at some point in the coming days.
The show's host has been described as a religious scholar, TV megastar and even a sex symbol (Only in the Middle East) His heady mix of religion and entertainment is often followed by controversy…..gee…ya think?
Hussain says it isn't a gimmick to win ratings during the Islamic holy month. He believes his show is unifying a fractured nation, plagued by sectarian violence, religious intolerance and terrorism.
The show has proved extremely popular, breaking ratings records and may be extended beyond its Ramadan run. He is also planning another program where the audience will be from the minority Hindu, Sikh and Christian communities.
Why can't he just stick to giving away cars like Oprah?

in Plants
I moved here 2 years ago and front garden was a decent sized square of lawn with no plants at all. I started digging up the lawn and making a spiral border that ultimately will fill the whole space with shingle paths following the spiral shape. Soon after I began I noticed a crop of fungi in a very regular pattern across the lawn. Honey fungus. I was therefore not surprised to find when digging huge fat roots of trees that had been cut down and the roots left. This has resulted in bent forks and a sore back plus the worry about the honey fungus affecting the plants I am putting in. Any thoughts on what plants would be at risk?
hello i moved into my house about 3 year ago and have got a large leylandii hedge at the bottom of a south facing garden it has a big hole mid way what plants could i plant to fill the hole please help

Potholes are 'a national embarrassment'
– Edmund King, AA president
The fact that one-third of our members have had their car damaged by potholes is a damning indictment of the state of our roads - they're a national embarrassment.
More broadly, it doesn't reflect well on the standing of our nation in the eyes of tourists and indeed foreign investors. A decent road infrastructure must be a minimum requirement for a progressive 21st century country.

About Senior Falls Prevention in Oregon
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries for adults 65 and older. Although falls can result in a devastating loss of health and independence, many falls are preventable. Oregon is one of three states to pilot the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention State Falls Prevention Program, which aims to integrate clinical care with evidence-based falls prevention programs in the community. Launched in 2011, this program is showing a positive impact on the senior fall rate in Oregon.
The Oregon Senior Falls Prevention Program promotes changes in attitudes, behavior and the environment by recognizing senior falls as a preventable public health issue and not an inevitable consequence of aging. We bring together health systems, governments, aging services, first responders, health educators, fitness centers, community health workers, senior living communities, and community volunteers to educate and protect seniors, families, and caregivers.

Safety Events in the Emergency Medical Services for Children
We are conducting research on the determinants of safety events and suboptimal care in emergency care services delivered to children. In the early course of our research, we have come to recognize that there are substantial differences in the reasons for EMS-C response in urban versus rural areas. Our team is looking for a student with solid statistical programming skills to evaluate data held by the Oregon State Emergency Services to characterize urban-rural differences in reason for call, field diagnosis, and treatment and transport.

Ripe pineapple, with its plentiful natural sugars, is ideal for grilling, and it screams "tropical" like nothing else. This makes a great dessert after spicy Latin, Indian, or Caribbean food. Make sure to let the slices brown; you want lots of those caramelized, almost burnt edges.
Mascarpone is a smooth Italian dairy product with a texture somewhere between whipped cream and cream cheese. It's used in tiramisu and available in many supermarkets and gourmet stores, but if you can't find it, good-quality vanilla ice cream will taste just fine.–Bobby Flay
Grilled Pineapple with Butter-Rum Glaze and Vanilla Mascarpone Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
- 1 cup dark rum
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1. Combine the rum, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer, whisking often, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, cooled, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- 2. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a sharp knife. Whisk the mascarpone and vanilla seeds together. (The mascarpone can be made a day in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated.)
- 3. Heat your grill to high.
- 4. Grill the pineapple slices, brushing frequently with the glaze, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 5. Remove the pineapple to a platter or serving plates and top each slice with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.

I have made this twice in the last week, both times with great results. The second time was the best, because I made the vanilla mascarpone enough in advance to really let the vanilla flavor come through. The warmth of the pineapple starts melting the mascarpone so it gets creamier and starts to spread, making each bite a perfect combination of warm, cool, strong, mild, sweet, tart…heaven. This is one of those desserts that looks so lovely you want people to see it — the glazed pineapple is amazing, and the contrast of colors, flavors, and temperature with the blueberries, strawberries we added, and the mascarpone is perfect.

Menomonie, Wis. (Press Release) – Adam Haese is seeing a completely different side — he calls it "eye-opening" — of the PGA Championship, which begins Thursday at Whistling Straits golf course, north of Sheboygan.
In 2004 he was a spectator when the course along Lake Michigan first hosted the event. This year he's a college intern, helping the PGA prepare for the last of pro golf's four major tournaments in 2010.
"It really takes a lot of manual labor to set up for the tournament. I had no clue. It's ridiculous," said Haese, 22.
Haese, a native of Mishicot, graduated in May with a degree in golf enterprise management from UW-Stout. He is one of four UW-Stout GEM program majors interning at the PGA.
The PGA affectionately refers to its dozens of college interns as "swampers." They do anything and everything to help prepare for the event. "It's tough work but a lot of fun," Haese said.
Haese and other interns began work July 5 and expect to be at the course two weeks beyond Sunday's final round. They had been working 40-hour weeks, but "now it's 12 or 13 hours a day, however long it takes to get things done," Haese said.
UW-Stout's interns are part of a group of 10 who have the formal title of operations assistants. They unload furniture and supplies from trucks for various media and corporate hospitality tents, make deliveries around the course and help set up fencing, along with other miscellaneous tasks.
The event will feature about 150 of the world's best players and be broadcast worldwide. It is expected to draw tens of thousands of spectators.
Along with Haese, other UW-Stout interns are Amanda Dlugopolski, Appleton; Michael Tabbert, Janesville; and Steve Toftum, Amherst. They applied for the positions and were interviewed on campus in the spring by Kevin Wright, PGA director of championship operations.
The internships are paid positions.
"This is a great opportunity for our students as they enter the competitive golf industry," said Kris Schoonover, GEM program director and a professor in the School of Hospitality Leadership.
"Providing hands-on experience at a major championship operation is critical in understanding the entire process of tournament management," she added.
After his job at the PGA is finished, Haese hopes to find a full-time job at a golf course as an assistant director of operations. "I've been meeting people at the Straits from throughout the golf industry. It has been a big plus. I've made some connections," Haese said.
In recent weeks, Haese saw several pros play practice rounds on the course, including Wisconsin native Steve Stricker and Masters champion Phil Mickelson. "We can't wait for the tournament to begin," Haese said.
Last year, three UW-Stout students interned at the PGA at Hazeltine, in Chaska, Minn., Schoonover said.
The GEM program at UW-Stout has about 200 students, who study course and facility management, marketing and course design.
For more information, contact Schoonover at 715-232-2364 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nop, that'd be perfect for people not living in the US
Already decided on getting Oracle of Seasons and Link's Awakening DX along with a few more titles this week since I just got payed, so I may as well take advantage of that offer.
Do you already own Oracle of Ages? If you're only going to play one of those two is should be Ages. I would say it's better to play both with a linked game though.
Yeah, I have Ages. As I told the guy above who also replied to me, I am hoping I can still link the games for the "actual" ending even though I have started with Ages and am almost done.
I have both and you can link them with passwords.
I just finished Link's Awakening DX and I am about mid way through Oracle of Seasons. Both are amazing games. I would get both Seasons and Ages then play Seasons first and use the code for Ages after you finish the game.
Thanks for the reply. Ooh, too late, I got Ages already. I wonder if I can still get that "secret" ending for when the two games are "linked" by password, I believe (if what I read in Wikipedia is right).
No problem always willing to help out the Wii U Daily community with my retro game knowledge. Yes you can still get the most out of both games, doesn't matter the order you play them. I just recommend Seasons first since Ages can getting really difficult towards the end.
Even though I still have like $80 left in my eShop from when I bought the $100 promo Nintendo had a while back I may pick up another $50 card just cuz it is a good deal.
Best Buy also has several of their Nintendo Published games on a buy one get one 50% off sale

There are basically three things a blog owner must be seriously looking into to achieve good ranking for his site- structure, links, and contents. Among these three, it is improvement of content which is the least technical and therefore more understandable to the layman. This has not however automatically resulted to better contents. It would appear creating good content is not as easy as it seems.
Creating good content to attract visitors to one's site is what is referred to as content marketing. It is basically a marketing technique based on creating and distributing relevant content to a target audience. It is based on the premise that if the required information is provided by a site or blog and the way to finding this information has been provided, traffic will naturally come.
Sound Marketing is Founded on Excellent Content
The foundation of every online marketing effort is excellent content. Excellence pertains not only to presentation but to relevance as well. A site or blog is deemed excellent by a target market if it is able to provide the information being sought. The content should be able to succeed in convincing visitors to be part of the site whether as regular readers or actual customers without resorting to hard-sell. The best content marketing will lead readers to the site's desired course of action.
Contents are for Human Users
The biggest mistake that a site can do with regards content is to write it for search engines and not humans. This is because an article written for search engines is usually not human-friendly. It should be remembered that humans are the end users. Search engines only provide the means of finding sites but contents will still have to useful to humans. The problem with articles written with search engines in mind is the tendency to excessively use keywords without any real and good content. Deceit should not be employed in getting readers and visitors.
Natural Acquisition of Links
Higher Google ranking through good content is partially achieved by getting natural inbound links from sites that matter. A few links from this type of sites can do wonders than many links from lesser-valued sites. Not many sites can achieve this without going through serious assessment of their contents.
High ranking comes in time but only if the site or blog has something to offer in contents. Otherwise, it might just be too much to ask for.
Teresa is a researcher-writer who covers a wide range of topics in search of useful information.

Should couples be banned from adopting children overseas?
Adopting is been around for quite some time. Those who want more kids, those who cant have kids, but want can do adopting. Modern technology has other options but adopting is one of the commonly used. However, after hearing few stories about kids being taken from Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia, Haiti etc, kids are no necessarily going to a better home. Should the country that gave birth to these babies be allowed to give them up for others? And if yes, is that any way or world balancing it self ( population ratio) ? Or is there nothing to adopting overseas, because a human is a human no matter which ethnicity they are?
James Walker 30+Aug 28 2011: Should you be banned from adopting kids from the next town?
Should folks in Arkansas allow a couple (?nnedn't be couple surely) in Orange County to take their children?
I think you're placing arbitrary geographic barriers on an issue that are irrelevant.
It's one World, and globalisation applies to everything... call centres, healthcare, adoption, brides, whatever....
OF COURSE, the question fo REGULATION is massively important. Regulation matters hugely, but the question of geography is a red herring.
Aug 29 2011: I have pondered this question the last ten years. While adoption can take on many forms, there are certain happenings that concern me. While many foster kids in America eventually find nice families and homes, many do not. And I hope that those families going abroad to adopt a child to bring home to the states are not ill intentioned with their decision to pass up an American child who needs a loving home. One study that surveyed 10 couples that adopted Chinese Children, (8 girls 2 boys) stated that the number one reason for no adopting domestically was that the American child would have baggage that the couple did not want to deal with. Sad.
Aug 28 2011: I am not saying the main fact of the adoption has something to do with world population or ratio. I just mentioned it. Sometimes, asking questions or starting a debate i get carried away, so forgive me if i confused anyone with that statement. I really liked what you all said though. Great points.
tishe Hires 10+Aug 28 2011: Wow, interesting! I have read so many articles on black market babies, child slavery, black market adoptions, etc., etc.,! This is a very tough world problem. The only humans that are hurt, are the innocent children. Blessed are the few that are ACTUALLY adopted and given a free and loving life!! This world problem will never be solved. Population ratio? Seriously?? With respect to you Miss Yana, thank you!
Aug 26 2011: Given appropriate criteria, adoption is a good thing...
Orphans are better of with (good) foster parents, no matter where they come from.
Even if 10% don't get a better home, the 90% others do get one... (arbitrary numbers)
It might be better to first take care of 'local' adoptions... though living in a global world, it would not seem a true problem.
As for population arguments: watch Hans Roslings' talks and his conversation: population arguments are not quite a valid argument (i.e.: overpopulation is not a likely event unless you think 1 billion people is an urgent necessity)

Swing Set: Cruising Full Time
The Dust Settles
(page 2 of 2)
The canal runs central through the heart of Key West. The airport was on our port side, and some modest homes were on our starboard side. But then we came to what looked to be the end of the canal. Mangroves lined each side, and their branches covered the 12-foot width. There were a couple of homes along the way, but soon there was nothing but trees and marsh. When we started seeing "campers" (in this case, campers means "homeless") and the approach of a low water bridge, I knew this canal wasn't going to be a route for us to take to the bay side of Key West.
The bridge was only 18 inches off the water, much shorter than the air draft on our dinghy, so we turned around. It was an interesting trip, but we won't feel the need to do it again.
Back out to the marked channel, we took it north under the A1A bridge and out to Florida Bay. We had to go past Sunset Marina and around Sigsbee Key over to the mooring field at Garrison Bight. Then, we took the route under the bridge to Fleming Key and back to Key West Harbor and then to our harbor in Key West Bight. At least I knew we had an "inside route" from Stock Island over to Key West Bight if we wanted to visit downtown in the dinghy, avoiding the prevailing easterly winds.
The Key West Film Festival had taken place over the weekend. Our feeling low prevented us from attending one of the films being shown at the Tropic Cinema, but we did go to the Tropic on Wednesday night for a movie. The Tropic is a real gem. If you're in Key West and want an evening out that doesn't consist of Sloppy Joe's and strip clubs, take in a movie there, if for no other reason but the popcorn.
We did a few chores on the boat on Thursday, but toward late afternoon we took the dinghy back out for a cruise. A friend had mentioned a sternwheeler that had found its way to Key West recently, and we wondered if it was still in the area, so we went over to the City Marina at Garrison Bight to see if the Barbara Ann was still docked there.
We found the Barbara Ann just where she was docked last January, although with an addition of some new windows and another door or two. She still touts "Port of St. Louis" on her stern, but I'd venture to stay she'll never see that part of the country again. Barbara Ann has more steel cables holding her in her slip than the S.S. Admiral.
The City Marina at Garrison Bight is home to an eclectic mixture of floating homes and houseboats in various stages of repair. While we find it very interesting to look at, we wouldn't want to keep our boat in this marina. I'd bet that there isn't a square foot of shiny fiberglass in the whole place, and nearly every "vessel" has a bilge pump going 24/7. The Barbara Ann is not one of those. Yet.
We exited Garrison Bight and took the long way around back to Key West Harbor along the shoreline of Fleming Key. It was a wet ride as the wind had picked up some, but it was fun. The dinghy is our favorite way to have fun, and while Swing Set seems more and more like "home", the dinghy is our essential method of transportation, and something we don't think we could do without.
We meandered our way through Key West Harbor. It too is an eclectic mixture of boats, but only the primary type of vessel is a sailing one. We saw our "Prairie Dog" friends from last December. Their boat was even loaded with more junk than it was back then. They weren't at home, not like we were going to stop for a chat anyway.
Another fella out on his sailboat, albeit without sails, and a dinghy tied up to the stern that was defying all efforts to sink, was trying to wave us over. It wasn't an "I need assistance" type wave, but an "I see somebody to have a beer with and I have no beer wave," normally one I find hard to resist, but we've found reason to avoid people who live this way on a sailboat, or otherwise on any decrepit vessel, for the same way we avoid socializing with people who live, say, on a park bench. They may be nice folks, but their seeming succession of bad choices that may have wound them up in their predicaments were choices that we also choose not to become part of. While I'm sympathetic, you're not dealing with Mother Theresa here.
It was getting close to sunset, so we cruised around Tank Island, now called Sunset Key because the owners of the multi-million dollar homes built on it didn't want to be living on such a commonly named place called Tank Island, and we drifted along the western shore of Key West and Mallory Square.
We waited on the sunset and watched all the folks lined up along Mallory Square, and along the upper decks of the cruise ship Majesty of the Seas, a Nassau registered ship that has seen better days. I post this photo for the followers of this blog who would rather see pictures than read my writing.
Our day was a good one. We found out that our new bike will be arriving from California next week and that our new generator is also on the way. We have a large deposit placed on the generator, and I was beginning to get a little worried about it coming.
This photo is not of the best sunset we've seen in our travels, it's just one more. But one more sunset hopefully means one more sunrise. String enough of them together, and you wind up with a life. If you're lucky, you can eek out a good one.
We burned our running lights on the dinghy and got back to A&B Marina after dark. The fellas in the beautiful Buddy Davis sportfishing boat near us appeared genuinely concerned that we'd been out so late, saying they were giving us another 30 minutes before calling the Coast Guard. My money says they were more concerned about Rosie than me. What do you think? Always have a pretty woman by your side and money in your pocket, and somebody will usually come looking for you.

Menlo Park fire district candidate forum

Vote Peter F Capenter, Chuck Bernstein and Rexford Ianson. They will best keep the Fire District on a reasonable budget.
on Oct 10, 2013 at 9:29 pm
Carpenter, Ianson and Bernstein are the logical choices. They have the experience, leadership and diversity to be elected.
on Oct 11, 2013 at 1:58 pm
I was at the forum last night as well.
Mr. Carpenter seemed the most knowledgeable; Ms. Clarke the least. As an incumbent, I would have expected more from Mr. Nelson. His repeated line seemed to be "I agree with Rex and Peter." He expressed his leadership qualities -- which are what? Just because he's the vice president. Those positions rotate.
I'm pleased that neither Carpenter, Ianson nor Bernstein are accepting support or endorsement from the FF union. I'm not surprised that Nelson and Clarke are however, especially since the FF union spent about $85,000 in the last election in order to get Rob Silano elected. With the Fire District employment costs making up about 80% of the budget, it's puzzling how these two candidates say they can make impartial and unbiased decisions.
To me the decision is obvious -- Carpenter, Ianson and Bernstein.

Writer's Brain Scan Part of Defense
Posted Apr 30, 2007 9:11 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The defense will rely on a brain scan in an attempt to show that the New York writer accused of sexually assaulting an editor had mental illness that made him unable to form the intent to commit the offense.
The lawyer for former fashion columnist Peter Braunstein will introduce a PET scan to bolster his claim that his client suffers from undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia, the New York Times reports.
An expert compared Braunstein's defense to that of the murder defendant in Clark v. Arizona, who claimed he thought he was shooting a space alien rather than police. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the defendant's conviction in that case last June.

Our weekly look at individual Washington Capitals' ups and downs:
|Michal Neuvirth
|Got two of the three starts this week and didn't look completely comfortable in either one, giving up seven goals on 61 shots (including some soft goals, particularly against the Sabres) for a combined GAA of 3.36 and a save percentage of .897.
|Semyon Varlamov
|Was better in his second game back from injury (and got a bit more run support) against the Hurricanes, but let in another softie that even he admits he needs to have and wasn't stellar in the shootout. This goalie controversy was more fun when both were playing well, wasn't it?
|Karl Alzner
|On the ice for six of the nine goals allowed this week and has now been on the ice for more goals-against (11) than anyone except Wideman (13) since the deadline.
|John Carlson
|The Caps scored eleven goals this week and Carlson was on for six of them, which led the team. Even better? He scored or assisted on five of those six goals and finished the week with a plus-three rating. A stellar week overall...but in the future, he should probably avoid scoring the go-ahead goal for the other team the way he did on Saturday. Just a thought.
|John Erskine
|Skated just over eighteen minutes this week thanks to an injury in the Columbus game that may or may not have been caused by a fight with Jared Boll. Even if it wasn't a result of that tilt, however, given the state of the Caps' blue line right now he probably was better off abstaining.
|Mike Green
|Seems to be making some progress in his return to the lineup, taking part in his first full practice on Friday (albeit a light, optional one) and still hoping to get back before the end of the regular season. At this point we'll settle for him getting back in the playoffs, just get healthy.
|Scott Hannan
|Logged over twenty-six minutes of ice time in two of the three games, looked solid when paired up with Jeff Schultz on Saturday and blocked ten shots...but was also on for both Carolina goals and took a minor penalty in two of the three games. He now has penalties in three of his last five outings, which is something to keep an eye on for a guy who doesn't spend that much time in the sin bin.
|Tom Poti
|Continues to practice with the team, continues to be out of the lineup. We're at the point where reporters and fans alike are forgetti-...wait, didn't we say that last week?
|Jeff Schultz
|That dwindling ice time shot back up this week as the injuries to blueliners continued to multiply, including a career-high 26:35 against Columbus.
|Tyler Sloan
|Was back in the lineup after Wideman's injury and dinged for a goal-against in the Columbus game...then left Saturday's action against Buffalo with an injury of his own. According to Boudreau, he's day-to-day after "getting his bell rung".
|Dennis Wideman
|Played just over twelve minutes on Tuesday night before getting tangled up with Carolina's Tuomo Ruutu and leaving the game. Afterwards he was termed "day-to-day", which quickly ramped up to "week-to-week", and then ramped up even further to "out indefinitely" after he was hospitalized with Compartment Syndrome. A scary injury, indeed, and we hope for his speedy recovery.
|Sean Collins
|Got the call to DC after Erskine's injury and skated an uneventful fourteen minutes on Saturday, but with Tyler Sloan being the latest casualty of the Blueline Curse it looks like he might be around awhile.
|Jason Arnott
|Five of his seven points as a Cap have come on game-tying or game-winning goals, including two in the final minute of games to force overtime. His late power play strike Saturday night (the second PPG since his arrival in DC) not only tied up the game but also put him at 400 for his career. Congrats, Jason!
|Nicklas Backstrom
|Tore it up in the faceoff circle, winning 26 of his 46 draws on the week, and capped off a solid three-game stretch in which he was on for just one goal-against (while on the PK) with three assists against the Sabres - his first game with at least three points since February 4. Seemed to find some nice chemistry with Sturm and Semin, as well.
|Jay Beagle
|For the first time in a long time the Caps have a healthy group of forwards, leaving Beagle the odd-man out for now.
|Matt Bradley
|Brads hasn't been on the ice for a Caps' goal since March 6 (13 games) and doesn't have a point since Valentine's Day. Not everything a player does shows up on the scoresheet, but something should.
|Jason Chimera
|A healthy scratch against the Hurricanes and none too pleased about it, he jumped back into the lineup with a vengeance against his old team Thursday night, scoring the overtime game-winner and adding an assist for good measure.
|Eric Fehr
|A quiet twelve minutes on Tuesday, a healthy scratch on Thursday, a slightly more active twelve minutes on Saturday. It'll be interesting to see if this is just a way to rest the oft-injured winger down the stretch or if he's actually back in Boudreau's doghouse.
|Boyd Gordon
|Led all Caps with almost five minutes of penalty-killing time in Tuesday's bizarrely officiated game, and wasn't on the ice for the only power play goal the team gave up (or for Buffalo's PPG, for that matter). Won 25 of the 41 draws he took (61%).
|Matt Hendricks
|Had a couple of quiet games before having his number called in the healthy scratch lottery Saturday night.
|Marcus Johansson
|Reunited with Alexander Semin and Laich, he got back to his goal-scoring ways with a beauty against Carolina but struggled a bit when bumped back up to the top line against Buffalo and was on for three of the seven goals the team allowed in the last two games of the week.
|D.J. King
|Kept Mike Green company in the press box this week...but hey, he's on Twitter now!
|Mike Knuble
|Was on for six of the nine goals allowed this week and has now been on the ice for more goals-against (10) than any other forward since the deadline...but has also been on the ice for more goals-for (20) than any other forward other than Ovechkin (22), including the three he scored this week.
|Brooks Laich
|Had at least a point in each of the three games, finishing with four assists - two of which he picked up Thursday night despite logging his lowest ice time (13:51) since November 7.
|Alex Ovechkin
|Looked understandably rusty at first (but energetically so) in his return to the lineup, going from a pointless game to a one-assist game to a three-point night that included an overtime winner - and added yet another awesome goal celebration to his ever-growing repertoire.
|Alexander Semin
|Picked up a nice goal and an assist against Carolina but a horrible offensive-zone penalty resulted in his rear end being stapled to the bench in overtime. Followed it up with a quieter but less frustrating game on Thursday, and another two point night on Saturday. However, one of the more notable aspects about his play this week is how he got his two goals: going to the front of the net, very un-Semin-esque - and very welcome.
|Marco Sturm
|Whatever offensive spark he found last week when he picked up his first goal as a Cap seems to have died out a bit this week - but he did get assists in back-to-back games and fired a season-high five shots on Jhonas Enroth in Saturday's OT win, and the defensive side of his game continues to be solid.

Rock is a popular destination for tourists and holidaymakers. The principal attractions are the extensive sandy beach that, at low tide, extends past Brea Hill to Daymer Bay and St Enodoc's Church, along with many watersports. The Camel Estuary lends itself well to windsurfing, sailing, boating and fishing. There is a well-known sailing Club on the waterfront. There is also an annual swimming race across the Camel. The Blacktor Ferry operates across the river to the larger town of Padstow, and this is a major source of tourist traffic through Rock. The early 21st century has seen extensive building work and increased prosperity for Rock, there a large number of holiday homes, as well as a number of retail outlets. Rock is also home to Sharps Brewery, an independent Real Ale Brewery established in the mid 1990s. Rock has been referred to as 'Britain's Saint-Tropez' and the 'Kensington of Cornwall' due to its popularity with the very affluent and upper-class holiday-makers, including the third in the line of succession to the British Throne, Prince Harry and what the Daily Telegraph calls 'Hoorays'. Popular names such as Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan, the Rothschilds, the Sainsburys, the Freuds, and the the Al Fayeds, holidayed here. Affluent holidaymakers, including Mohammed Al Fayed and Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, have made use of the nearby helipad. It is now home to some fancy boutiques and upscale restaurants including one, the Black Pig, which has previously held a Michelin star.

Middlebury stymied the up-tempo, full court-pressing Engineers of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) 105-86 in Pepin Gym. The 9-0 Panthers, who never trailed in the contest, used a combination of crisp passing and spacing to get easy buckets with a solid half-court game, using their size to draw 24 fouls that turned into 26 points from the free throw line.
Middlebury opened the game on an 11-2 run, bookended by a pair of lay-ups by Peter Lynch. The Panther lead hovered around 10 points for several minutes, eventually bulging to 14 on a three by Nolan Thompson, for a 26-12 lead at 10:55. The Engineers (5-4) responded with an 8-2 burst, capped by a lay-up by Jamie Zajak at 7:43, setting the score at 28-20. Middlebury built the lead back to 15 on three occasions over the next six minutes, before RPI closed out the final minute with a 6-2 run, with Zajak accounting for four points, cutting the Panther lead to 45-34 at intermission.
James Jensen led the Panther charge in the second half, opening with an 11-6 run with six points, a steal, an assist and an offensive rebound, giving Middlebury a 56-40 lead with 17:27 left to play. RPI kept the deficit around a dozen for the next 10 minutes before a 15-7 Panther run put the game out of reach at 94-75 with 4:55 left. Jack Roberts collected six points on lay-ups, while Jensen added four points from the charity stripe during that span.
Thompson and Lynch each had 21 points for Middlebury, as Lynch added a game-best nine rebounds. Jensen chipped in 18 on 5-10 shooting and was 8-8 from the line, with seven boards off the bench. Hunter Merryman added 14 on 6-9 shooting, while Joey Kizel chipped in 10 with six assists, as Kizel's backcourt mate Jake Wolfin passed out a game-best eight assists. Zajac's 17 paced RPI, as Brendan Farley and Cedric White each chipped in 10 for the Engineers.
For the game, Middlebury held RPI to .388 shooting from the floor and 8-24 from behind the arc, including 0-9 in the first half. The Panthers were 26-33 from the free throw line, including 13-16 in the second half. This is the third game this season the Panthers have broken 100 points.
Babson held off a late charge by Middlebury to pick up a 2-1 win over the 12th-ranked Panthers (4-3-2) in Kenyon Arena. The Beavers (6-2-2) advance to the championship game of the Middlebury College Holiday Classic where they will take on Manhattanville, a 4-1 winner over Wentworth at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Middlebury will battle Wentworth in the third place game at 1:00 p.m.
Babson took a 1-0 lead 14:39 into the first period with a five-on-three power play goal. Matt Furey made a pass from the right side to Ben Kravitz at the top of the left circle. Kravitz quickly one-timed a shot into the back of the net for his second of the year to put his team up 1-0. The period ended with the shots tied at 9-9.
The Beavers extended their lead 5:05 into the second period, when Phil Saviuk scored the first of his career from the left point with a shot past a screened Liam Moorfield-Yee. Middlebury got on the board at the 14:22 mark with a power play goal. Mathieu Castonguay's shot from the left point on the power play was saved, with George Ordway finishing down low for his third of the season.
Babson's best chance to score in the third period came at 11:38 when Connor Berto hit the crossbar with an open net. The Panthers pulled Moorfield-Yee following at timeout at the 18:21 mark, looking to tie the game. Their best chance came late on a flurry, but a shot from Ben Wiggins was saved by Jamie Murray to preserve the win.
Moorfield-Yee made 24 saves in his collegiate debut, while Murray made 31 stops for Babson. Middlebury held a 33-26 shots advantage in the game.
