London Explorer - 3 Day 1 country \ 3 days
01 Jul 2009 - 03 Jul 2009 \ Great little extension. I suggest if you are doing it along w/ a longer tour around Europe, to do London at the beginning of the trip. I did it after the Europe tour, and I was so exhausted that I feel like I didn't see everything I could have in those couple days. You do not have a tour guide, you are your own tour guide, but they give you a packet so that you can get around the city and see everything you want to while there.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- Nevada lawmakers are considering ramping up penalties for people performing medical procedures without the proper licensing.
Special Deputy Attorney General Brett Kandt of the Nevada Attorney General's Office presented SB 199 to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
Under the bill, performing a non-surgical procedure would incur a category C felony and up to five years in prison for the first offense. Subsequent offenses would be category B felonies with up to 20 years in prison.
Surgical procedures would have the same penalties, unless substantial bodily harm or death occur, in which case first offenses would be category B felonies.
Cases could still be augmented by battery or murder charges depending on the circumstances.
Currently, penalties range from gross misdemeanors to category D felonies with up to four years imprisonment.

The last sentence may say it all: used the juice and died at 52.
"Orlando Woolridge, the rugged forward who carved out a reputation over 13 NBA seasons as a scoring specialist and one of the original alley-oop artists, died late Thursday at his parents' home in Mansfield, La. He was 52.
The 6-foot-9 Woolridge was the sixth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1981 after starring at Notre Dame in college and Mansfield High School in Louisiana.
Known for his high-flying dunks and ability to throw down lob passes in the open court, Woolridge played for the Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Denver, Milwaukee and Detroit, and also coached the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. He averaged 16.0 points in just more than 28 minutes per game, quickly emerging as an offensive spark plug no matter if he was in the starting lineup or coming off the bench.
He participated in one of the greatest slam dunk contests of all time in 1985, competing against Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins and Julius Erving, among others, and he averaged 22.9 points per game for the Bulls in 1984-85, the last player to lead Chicago in scoring before Jordan took over.
"He was a good person," said Timberwolves assistant T.R. Dunn, who played with Woolridge for one season in Denver. "He was a really good offensive player, athletic, could run the floor, score the basketball. He had a pretty solid career. Just a fun-loving, athletic guy. Just sad news."
Woolridge was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy in 1987 and spent time in a treatment facility."

Beverly Quint cast her first vote for U.S. president for the Democratic candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
When Martin Luther King Jr. came to Boston in 1965 and marched from Roxbury to Boston Common to stand up for civil rights, David Wise was among the crowd of tens of thousands of people.
When Elizabeth Warren ran for the U.S. senate last year, these two and four other senior local democratic party campaigners gave it all they had, even though they range in age from 82 to 92 years old. A couple of them faced some physical limitations, but they still found a way to help their party manning voter registration tables, working the crowds at the town dump, hosting fundraisers and endless phone canvassing.
Those six Rockport residents were honored on Saturday afternoon at the Community House at a special event attended by Gov. Michael Dukakis and Congressman John Tierney, both of whom benefited from their ceaseless efforts. Both wanted to extend their profound thanks to this group of six — referred to locally as the "Democratic Diamonds" — who have given nearly 200 years in combined service to the Rockport Democratic Town Committee.
The honorees are: Pat Koechlin, Kay Murphy, Ruth Perrault, Ann Sheinwald, Beverly Quint and David Wise.
"This is the Democratic party at its best," said Dukakis, 79. Dukakis served three terms as governor of Massachusetts and was the Democratic Party's 1988 nominee for U.S. president. He explained that he was asked to send a congratulatory letter, but instead he wanted to do more. He spoke about the power of their old-fashioned door to door precinct-based campaigning.
"I know I speak for everybody here when I say thank you for setting the example for the rest of us," he said. "We live in a world, country and state that is better today than the world I was born into during the Great Depression because of the work done by so many, like these six honorees. My hat's off to you."

Bill Simmons on Brandon Roy's magical Game 4
55. "As rough as that neighborhood could be, we had us a community. Nobody, no victim, who didn't matter. And now all we got is bodies, and predatory motherf**kers like you. And out where that girl fell, I saw kids acting like Omar, calling you by name, glorifying your ass. Makes me sick, motherf**ker, how far we done fell." One of the show's most poignant moments (Bunk laying into Omar and everything he stands for) goes to the most poignant moment of Round 1: Brandon Roy's unfathomable Game 4 performance, when he dragged Portland back from 20 down for an astonishing comeback victory that doubled as "The Round 1 Game You Would Have Most Wanted To Be In The Building For" and guaranteed him a free trip to the 2011 ESPYS. I wrote once that true sports fans feel obligated to watch everything hoping they might catch one of those rarer than rare sports moments -- something that might happen once every 2,500 times -- and that we put up with the other 2,499 times for that 2,500th time when something magical might happen. The Brandon Roy game was definitely a 2,500th Time Game. There's no question. I will always remember watching it. That specific player, in front of those specific fans, at this specific point of his career? I still can't believe it happened. Quick tangent: During the tail end of Larry Bird's career, after his body had betrayed him, my father and I went to a playoff game against Detroit when Bird couldn't hit anything. Then a bird flew from the rafters, parked himself near midcourt and wouldn't leave. The crowd started chanting, "Lar-ree! Lar-ree! Lar-ree!" They got rid of the bird. Larry came out and started making jumpers. A bunch of them. The fans were beside themselves. We won the game. And as we were leaving, my dad looked at me and said, "Did that just happen?" Anyway, it's one thing to watch a game like that on television -- but being in the building for a "Did that just happen?" game. You never forget. You just don't. The Blazers may have lost in Round 1, but their fans will always have that game.

Jackson Police Chief Rebecca Coleman has turned in her resignation to Mayor Harvey Johnson and will retire from the police force in a matter of days.
Chief Coleman, who has served with the Jackson Police Department for 24 years, says her resignation is effective June 30. Coleman adds she has advised Mayor Elect Chokwe Lumumba of her plans.
The 61-year-old has served in law enforcement for nearly 39 years, with the majority of that time being with JPD. Coleman says her plans are to "take it easy for a while," do some traveling and volunteer work.
Coleman's decision comes just weeks after Mayor Elect Lumumba's statement during his campaign for mayor that part of his plans for the City of Jackson included replacing the current police chief.
Jackson's Mayor-Elect Chokwe Lumumba expressed his concerns with the Jackson Police Department again as he announced his transition team Tuesday morning. The new executive committee -- a team that will help decide if Jackson's many agencies and departments are on the right track -- flanked Lumumba.
Lumumba said his concern is morale within the police department. He previously announced he would make changes at the top, replacing Chief Coleman.
"In the police department for instance, there is a moral problem. We have to work on that. They've are also some other departments that have signaled they have morale problems," Lumumba said.
Lumumba said the problems include shift changes. Lumumba didn't reveal who he will choose as the new police chief. Among other challenges, he cited not enough economic development going on inside the Capital City and businesses moving out.

An ugly game got even uglier when Jonathan Stewart was carted off. Here's the latest on that:
UPDATE: The team later confirmed that Stewart suffered a sprained ankle.
So hopefully he will only miss a couple weeks, maybe 4? Sucks not matter what it is but it could be worse.
Some Highlights:
- Cam Newton went 6 for 15 for 60 yards and a TD. Newton was erratic to say the least, showing nice touch on some throws.
- LB Luke Kuechly looked good again; the defense gave up some plays but always tightened in the red zone
- DE Thomas Keiser now has a sack in all three preseason games
- S Reggie Smith had a nice INT and played well on special teams
- The offensive line got abused at times
This is Now a Post Game Open Thread!

Martha Jefferson Hospital is looking to change your emergency room experience.
Some patients dealing with non-life-threatening injuries, like a broken finger, have waited sometimes up to two, three, or four hours. Now, doctors at Martha Jefferson say you'll wait no longer than 90 minutes.
The new system is called ED Direct. Doctors say the goal of the system is for each patient to be treated quickly, instead of patients having to compete for care based on how serious their injuries are.
A new unit at Martha Jefferson Hospital is dedicated to the system.
"Because we're seeing more minor acuities, we're seeing a lot of patients at one time so we can see some patients and then have some wait in the waiting room until their X-ray results come back," said nurse practitioner Cawood Fitzhugh-Bowman.
It's a place to treat patients who come in with minor injuries - like a sprained ankle or broken bone. The injuries vary but the goal is the same - an in-and-out service. It's unlike a typical ER setting where patients move through in an assembly line-like process. Doctors say the system works because it's based on multi-tasking.
"The nurse practitioner and myself, for instance, may go in the room at the same time or they may be in there with the nurse and registration at the same time rather than going step by step," said Dr. Leroy Caudill, ER medical director.
Because the patients have minor injuries most of them don't require a bed, leaving even more room in the unit for everybody. Doctors say they are also shaving off time during a patient's visit by the way they look at X-ray results.
"We're not waiting for the official reading necessarily. The physician and nurse practitioner are giving the wet reads and then the radiologist will call us if there's a difference," said Caudill.
Not waiting on X-ray results from a radiologist can save patients from waiting at the hospital for hours.
Hospital staff says they've been meeting their timing goal of getting a patient in and out in less than 90 minutes. The unit was originally only up and running a few days a week, but now they are using it every day.

The Lewis Center presents Strange Faces: the story of Asperger's syndrome set to music
(Princeton, NJ) The Lewis Center for the Arts Program in Theater and the Department of Music present Strange Faces, an original musical production by senior Andrea Grody about families dealing with Asperger's syndrome. Performances will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 1-2 and Thursday through Saturday, April 7-9 in the Marie and Edward Matthews '53 Acting Studio at the Lewis Center for the Arts, 185 Nassau Street.
Grody wrote the story and dialogue, known in musical theater as "the book," as well as the lyrics and music for Strange Faces to satisfy the thesis requirements for her major in the Department of Music and her certificate in theater from the Lewis Center for the Arts. She hopes to pursue a career as a musical director on Broadway.
Knowing someone diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a condition related to autism characterized by significant difficulties with social interactions, Grody said inspired her to pursue the topic for her thesis as "…a culmination of four years of music, theater and psychology studies at Princeton." She went on to say, "Asperger's has only recently been accepted and recognized in the United States, and most people drastically misunderstand it. Now is the time to write a musical that educates audiences on Asperger's and helps them relate to it emotionally."
Princeton's senior thesis productions offer students the opportunity to write, direct, act, or design under the guidance of professional faculty and staff in the Program in Theater, as well as to test the skills they have honed in the classroom on the public stage. "When Andrea came to us with the idea of writing the book and score and directing a musical about Asperger's syndrome, we didn't blink, " said Tim Vasen, Acting Director of the Program in Theater and Grody's thesis advisor, "…she has shown over and over, that she has the talent, technique and determination to pull something this ambitious off."
Tickets for Strange Faces are $10 for students and seniors and $12 for general admission. For advance tickets please call University Ticketing at 609.258.9220.
The Lewis Center for the Arts is part of a major initiative announced by President Shirley M. Tilghman in 2006 to fully embrace the arts as an essential part of the educational experience for all who study and teach at Princeton University. The Lewis Center for the Arts will have a significant impact on the University and the larger community it serves. The public is welcomed to a full range of lectures, exhibitions, concerts and performances at the Center. Many of the Center's events are free or charge a nominal admission fee.

Hello there, BTB:
Greetings from the Eagles SB Nation site Bleeding Green Nation. My name is PhiladelphiaEagles (more easily referred to as "PE") and I'll be your so-called Eagles ambassador this week.
Here comes the JUMP!
Obviously Sunday night has the makings of a great match-up. After last year didn't go so great for you guys, I feel like it's been awhile since we've seen a high-stakes Eagles/Cowboys game. At 3-3, you guys are chasing the top spot in the division among the 4-2 Giants. After a disappointing (and largely unexpected) 2-4 start for the Eagles, we're just looking to get closer to .500 so we can possibly go on a run. I'm writing the Redskins off, since I don't think they have a good enough QB and they just lost some key players (Santana Moss, Tim Hightower, London Fletcher) to injury.
Personal thoughts on the game: I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not confident that the Eagles are a good team. So far our 2 wins have come over terrible teams (Rams, Redskins), and I need to see more out of them before I believe they're really starting to turn their season around. That being said, I think they can beat the Cowboys. I think it'll be a close game, as most good divisional rival match-ups are, either way.
Quickly worth noting is that the Eagles are coming off their BYE, and under Andy Reid, they are unbeaten the week after the BYE (a perfect 12 for 12). Also worth nothing is that the Eagles haven't won a home game since 12/2/10, which is when they defeated the Houston Texans last season. ...So maybe they're due for a home victory? We'll see.
Let's use this thread as as opportunity for ('friendly') trash talk, Q&A, and any other related Eagles/Cowboys discussion material. I'll personally try to answer any Eagles related question that you may have.
(PS: Don't forget to "rec" this thread so that it stays up in the "Recommended FanPosts" area. Thanks!)

After the first 5-6 picks, it then starts to thin-out pretty quickly (in-terms of difference makers) & in comes the uncertainty. For example: Perry Jones III seems to have too many Q marks to be a 7th pick; Sullinger's value varies from 6th to 16th & he may well be "just average" in the NBA; and the likes of Henson, Zeller, Meyers Leonard & T Jones could all probably be had mid-draft.
So with all that in mind, consider this possibility. We hold out til 7 to see if somehow Drummond, Barnes or Beal magically drop to us. If they are gone, then we have an arrangement in play with Houston for a trade down with them. They possess 2 x first rounders which are mid first round draft (#14 & #16) remember.
I'm thinking a deal that looks something like this: our 7th, 30th & 52nd picks for Houston's 14th & 16th picks. It's of note that presently Houston doesn't possess a 2nd round pick in 2012, so they may well be interested. (Houston would probably try & grab another 2nd round pick from us in this deal, but giving up those 3 picks could be enough. Maybe throw in a future 2nd rounder if necessary.)
With #14 & #16 we could grab 2 players with the following names possibly in play if they slip down the board a bit: Terrance Jones (SF or PF?, championship pedigree), Myers Leonard (has apparently looked pretty good in workouts), Tyler Zeller (7 foot centre, good backup for Bogey perhaps), Dion Waiters (supposedly a poor man's Duane Wade, but he may be on a promise to Phoenix already), Terrance Ross (6'7' SF athletic shooter, who can rebound), Perry Jones III (he could slip this far possibly), Arnett Moultrie (another big body), Moe Harkless & Royce White.
This trade could also be varied up by asking Houston to put in Kyle Lowry & we'd give them Dorrell Wright + our 2nd rounder in 2013. They might not bite on this additional component though, but there is strong mail that Lowry wants out & this frees up their passage to resign Dragic (whom they love apparently).

Today we find out which two teams will meet in Super Bowl Xtra Large Vagina.
The Matchups.
Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears @ 2pm Central
New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers @ 5:30pm Central
I'm picking Green Bay to win the NFC but if Chicago wins it's fine. The aint's were eliminated two weeks ago and that's all that matters. Over on the AFC side of things, I will be cheering for that loud mouthed fatty Rex Ryan and his J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS! I hate the steelers with a passion. The last two Super Bowl they "won" were cheap, the teams they faced were the Seahawks and Cardinals, respectively. Talk about giveaway games! Screw the steelers and their rapey quarterback.
Who are you guys rooting for?

Couple of months ago I put up a post titled "Oil in the Gulf". I didn't go back and read it tonight, but it was something to the effect of... lots of bad things are going to happen if the oil comes here, pray that it doesn't, yada, yada, etc. etc.
Well, at least in Panama City, we didn't get much in the way of oil, we really didn't pay too high of a price in terms of lost business and tourism, everybody survived, and we even got a visit from the President. The point of this post is, I think lots of times we don't finish what we start. I asked for your good thoughts and prayers, several of you responsed to the post, and I'm sure more of you read it and thoughtfully considered our plight. So for all of that, I thank you. I know none of this is about football, but I asked for some help, and you responded, and I appreciate it.

Christian human rights lawyer reported kidnapped in China
With huge and ongoing public protests against repressive governments spreading worldwide, it is no surprise that China's leaders are taking an extremely strong and reactive stance against any internet-facilitated public gatherings or protests.
The 'Jasmine Revolution' will not be televised – in China at least.
Yesterday (Feb. 28), China Aid said a well-known Christian human rights attorney, Jiang Tianyong, had disappeared on Feb. 19. The CA report put the blame on the police.
The report notes the disappearance of three lawyers, in total:
Since the prominent human rights lawyer Tang Jitian was arrested on February 16 by Beijing police, 11 days have passed and his whereabouts are still unknown. Since the prominent Christian human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong was kidnapped by the police at 4 p.m. on February 19, downstairs from his brother's apartment, eight days has passed and his whereabouts are still unknown. Mrs. Jin Bianling, wife of Jiang Tianyong, has gone to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for inquiries, but to no avail. Once, she was told that over 60,000 people are being detained by the Municipal Public Security Bureau and there is no way they could confirm if Lawyer Jiang Tianyong was among them.
On the afternoon of the same day, the prominent human rights lawyer Dr. Teng Biao was also taken away by the Beijing police and his house was searched. So far, his whereabouts are also unknown. China Aid Association has been watching these incidents closely and strongly denounces the actions of the Beijing authorities in the forced disappearance of these three human rights lawyers and of human rights activists in other regions of China. Such conduct seriously tramples on the legitimate rights of the Chinese citizens and is also a violation of the UN's "International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance." Such a gangsterization of the public power and such flagrant violation of the legal system and of civil rights can only aggravate the unrest in the Chinese society, and it will certainly motivate more people into joining the Jasmine Revolution of peaceful civil disobedience.
Meanwhile, All Girls Allowed, the organization that Chai Ling founded to resist China's one child policy, called out China's leadership for its suppression of human rights efforts. In a press statement, All Girls Allowed said:
Volunteers involved in anti-trafficking and anti-gendercide work with the humanitarian organization All Girls Allowed have been targeted by the Chinese government in a recent crackdown likely sparked by various Middle East protests and the peaceable Chinese "Jasmine Revolution."
While uninvolved in these demonstrations, volunteers have been accused and detained by police. An alarming example: Jiang Tianyong, a human rights lawyer who helped anti-trafficking volunteers as they reconnected a 3-year old child to her family just last month, is missing.
"We believe that this recent wave of kidnappings, detainments and house arrests is related to current events happening around the world," says Chai Ling, founder of All Girls Allowed. "But our volunteers just want to continue rescuing children and supporting families who are hurting."
No one knows how long this persecution of volunteers and peaceable human-rights workers will continue.
Human rights lawyers who defend victims of forced abortions are in particular danger.
All Girls Allowed has this compelling video about their ministry:
How to End Gendercide from All Girls Allowed on Vimeo.
Christians in China working for change do so at great personal risk. Pray for them.
If you are in China and have further details, email me.

German goose and chicken roasts are often stuffed with quartered apples which then are eaten as a garnish. Here it is taken a step further and chopped apple is mixed with walnuts and onions for a delightful side dish. The chicken is basted with whiskey towards the end to flavor the skin.
Makes 4 - 6 servings of roast chicken.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 apple, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 c. walnut halves
- 1/4 c. raisins
- 1 T. dried onion flakes
- 1/2 tsp. dried, rubbed marjoram (or substitute poultry seasoning)
- 1/2 tsp. dried, rubbed thyme (or substitute poultry seasoning)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 oz. whiskey or brandy
- Apple juice concentrate
Note: Many supermarket chickens are now injected with broth, which keeps them moister when cooked. These chickens don't need much added salt, either. If you have a fresh chicken or one that has not been injected with broth, you may want to lay strips of bacon over the chicken while it roasts.
Remove giblets from chicken, rinse and let drain. Pat dry. Use giblets for other purpose.
Heat oven to 450°F.
Chop apples and walnuts small, toss with raisins and seasonings. Rub inside of bird with pepper and stuff the mixture into the cavity.
Spray roasting rack with cooking spray and line tray with foil, if you wish. Lay bird on roasting rack, breast side down.
Place chicken (on pan) in the middle of the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 325°F and roast for 30 minutes. Turn bird over and roast for 50-60 minutes more, or until internal temperature reaches 175°F. Use foil for a tent if bird is browning too fast.
In the last 15 minutes remove foil tent and baste chicken with whiskey once or twice.
Remove chicken from oven, cover with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a paste. Make gravy by mixing the pan drippings in a saucepan with the paste and bringing to a simmer, stirring constantly. Season to taste with 2 teaspoons of apple juice concentrate and pepper.
Remove stuffing from bird and place in separate bowl. Carve chicken or cut into quarters with shears.

Many people are familiar with Orson Welles' notorious radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, which aired on Halloween eve, 1938, and caused a nationwide panic. It made the "boy wonder" of Broadway a household name, and led to offers from Hollywood that culminated in the production of his masterpiece, Citizen Kane, in 1941. He brought along many of his radio colleagues, from actors like Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Ray Collins, and Everett Sloane to composer Bernard Herrmann. Having been steeped in an aural medium, he approached the use of sound in film as few others ever did, before or since.
Aside from old-time-radio diehards, I don't know how many film buffs are aware that Welles remained active on the air all through the 1940s, even as his film career skyrocketed and crashed. During the same period in which he made The Magnificent Ambersons, The Stranger, andThe Lady from Shanghai, he continued to adapt classic dramas, participate in groundbreaking broadcasts, express his opinions in a series of editorial programs, fill in for Jack Benny and even host his own fascinatingly awful comedy series. All of this is chronicled in an excellent audio documentary called Airborne by R.H. Greene, which debuted in October on KPCC, the public radio station that serves greater Los Angeles. The hour-long special was broadcast on John Rabe's public-affairs show "Off-Ramp," and because of that it has a permanent home online, where you can listen to it anytime. (media.scpr.org)
Welles remains a never-ending source of fascination for me and countless other admirers and scholars. I was fortunate enough to narrate an audio documentary in 1988 called Theatre of the Imagination, and interview one of its key participants, Welles' Mercury producing partner John Houseman. That program drew on a number of first-hand recollections, and has great value for just that reason. It's downloadable HERE, along with most of Welles' Mercury productions: www.mercurytheatre.info Ray Greene's Airborne is more detailed and comprehensive…a "must" for any Welles fan or radio buff.

Lots of film stars appeared on radio in the 30s-50s. Jimmy Stewart had his own western titled "The Six Shooter." Ronald Colman had a comedy called "The Halls of Ivy." Alan Ladd ("Box 13") and Dick Powell ("Richard Diamond") each starred in detective dramas. Then there was the Lux Radio Theater which took movies and made one-hour radio versions, using as many of the original film stars as they could get. This was hosted for several years by Cecil B. DeMille. And the Marx Brothers had a series called "Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel" which is currently running in re-creations on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
PeterM | January 14, 2012 6:25 AM
On a somewhat related note, Alfred Hitchcock made a few unsuccessful attempts at radio. I recently heard an audition recording for a series called "Once Upon A Midnight." It's a suspense thriller, but Hitchcock makes snide remarks and sarcastically witty observations throughout the narration. It's really a gem!

I'm glad you mentioned filling in for Jack Benny. Welles took over the Benny show for four consecutive weeks while Jack was lying gravely ill in Chicago, where he had been on a bond drive, I believe (it was 1943). The interaction between Welles and Phil Harris is so funny, you almost don't miss Jack. It is also a rare opportunity to hear Welles do pure comedy and poke fun at his own legend.
Tom Nolan | January 6, 2012 2:14 PM
Here's a link to a piece I wrote last year arguing that "Citizen Kane" shows significant influence of Welles's radio work:
I was thrilled to be able to include some insights from the 101-year-old Norman Corwin, who spoke to me by telephone not long before he died. - tom nolan

Flyers stood up to pressure to win
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
April 24, 2003
Keith Primeau is no dummy. After playing lead belly-acher in the Flyers' playoff collapse last season, he knew this season was put-up-or-shut-up time. Especially in the opening round of the playoffs, where the team and its fans were still smarting from first-round eliminations the previous two years. "If we didn't have success, I was the guy who would most probably be moved," Primeau, the team's captain, said following an impressive 6-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs that clinched the opening round series four games to three.
Flyers wave goodbye to Leafs
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
April 23, 2003
Justin Williams scored his first career playoff goal. Claude Lapointe scored his first playoff goal in 10 years. Mark Recchi scored twice to take the playoff lead in goal scoring. And even team captain Keith Primeau scored a goal -- courtesy of an Alexander Mogilny tip-in -- as the Flyers finally gave the fans at the First Union Center something they haven't seen since 2000 -- a series win. Primeau's line with Williams and Simon Gagne scored the first three goals of the game as the Flyers crushed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-1 to win the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series four games to three.
Hitchcock had it figured all along
By Mike Sielski Of The Morning Call
April 23, 2003
Ken Hitchcock was never more accurate, never more prescient than he was early Saturday evening, the Flyers one victory away from their first playoff-series win in three years, one victory away from offering a piece of validation for Hitchcock's hiring last year. You have to play your best game to close out a series, Hitchcock said then, and this was what the Flyers did Tuesday night: They played their best game of this series against the Maple Leafs, their best game of this season, maybe of the last two. Sure, Mark Recchi scored twice, Justin Williams darted and dashed around the Leafs with a hummingbird's quickness, Roman Cechmanek had to be plowed over just to allow one goal, but understand: This was Ken Hitchcock's 6-1 win. This was a season's worth of drilling and defense and discipline condensed into 60 spectacular minutes.
Flyers will know after first round if they've built a contender
By GARY BLOCKUS Of The Morning Call
April 9, 2003
It would take more than Bob the Builder to answer the question that Ed Snider and Bob Clarke asked themselves after last season's playoff collapse by the Philadelphia Flyers. Perhaps collapse is too nice a word. Playoff implosion is so much more appropriate. The players ripped coach Bill Barber for his lack of practice time on the power play. They ripped him for the lack of a system. Goaltender Roman Cechmanek ripped his teammates -- during the game -- in Ottawa for their lack of team defense.
Flyers play Devils to a tie
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
February 19, 2003
Clinging to a one-goal lead in the final half of the second period, the Flyers got just what any team wants: a power play. But instead of driving a spike into the heart of the New Jersey Devils, the Flyers failed to score, gave up two shots and had no offensive setups. "It looks like we're not on the same page," said Flyers captain Keith Primeau as the Flyers salvaged a 2-2 with the Devils at the First Union Center. "We have to be on the same page when there's only four [players]
Flyers give one away to Lightning
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
January 29, 2003
Say one thing for the Flyers; they certainly contribute heavily to opposing goalies' save percentages. On Tuesday night, they fired 34 shots at Tampa Bay's John Grahame. He stopped them on every one in a 3-0 victory as the Flyers were shut out in consecutive games for only the sixth time in club history and the first time since Oct. 2 and Oct. 7, 1999. "The sense of urgency to compete at a much higher level has to come from in that locker room," said a disappointed Ken Hitchcock, the Flyers first-year coach, as he shifted blame to the players.
Primeau, Recchi lift Flyers even with Stars
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
December 18, 2002
Ken Hitchcock has had less stressful birthdays. The presents Keith Primeau and Mark Recchi gave him made up for that, however. Primeau and Recchi snapped a streak of 20 straight power plays without a goal by scoring on consecutive advantages in the third period to erase a two-goal lead by the Dallas Stars. The 2-2 tie certainly set off a celebration among the 19,211 in attendance at the First Union Center on Tuesday night, not only there to celebrate Hitchcock's birthday, but to witness his first game against the team he led to the Stanley Cup championship back in 1999.
Flyers get message, rout Habs
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
October 25, 2002
Ken Hitchcock hates complacency, and to prove it, he shook up his second line on Thursday night. Just one game after suffering his first loss as head coach of the Flyers, Hitchcock broke up the Keith Primeau line that featured Simon Gagne and Justin Williams on the wings. But when he saw an unfavorable matchup taking place in the first period, Hitchcock quickly reunited them. The period apart provided a spark. Primeau scored his first two goals of the season, including the eventual game winner at the start of the second period, as the Flyers staged a romp over the Montreal Canadiens for the second time this season with a 6-2 win. "That was a subtle message from Hitch," Primeau said of the line change to start the night.
Flyers, Primeau handle power play, Snow and Isles
By Gary R. Blockus Of The Morning Call
September 25, 2002
Keith Primeau did a lot of talking during the playoffs last season, and his propensity to air the team's dirty laundry helped get Bill Barber fired as the Flyers coach. This season, Primeau has vowed to make his actions speak louder than his words, and so far in the preseason, the team captain is doing just that. Primeau scored his third power play goal on Tuesday night, and even though it was a preseason goal, it snapped a shutout streak by former Flyers goalie Garth Snow, now with the New York Islanders.

NAZARETH RACEWAY FIASCO I spent the weekend up there and was really disappointed with the open wheel, the sprint car and midget cars. Nazareth really missed the boat on a prime opportunity to make a lot of fans. Especially on Sunday when the track sat for basically two and a half hours with nothing on it except for two tractor-trailers, which made a stage for 10 minutes of driver introductions for the IRL guys, and three IRL pace cars running celebrities around the track. If there was time limit on the USAC Midget races they easily could have got the Silver Crown race in from 10:30 to 12. That would have been one and half hours and would have been plenty time.

Cowboys fans suffered a tough end to the 2011 season when Dallas couldn't find a way to win themselves the division; ultimately losing their playoff spot to the future Super Bowl champions. This year, the schedule seems tailor-made to again provide an action packed and emotionally tolling season...with an exciting finish with or without a happy ending. From the difficult first-half scheduled with away games and an early bye week to the scary line-up to finish off December, the Cowboys 2012 season appears destined for a climactic finish with a shower of tears of either joy or sadness come the Holidays. Whether remembered for a cataclysmic collapse, a gut-wrenching season finale, or a thrilling run by a young team hitting its stride, it seems certain the Cowboys 2012 season will be a memorable one.
This early in the year, season predictions are just as much rooted in personal opinions and hopes and fears as they are in rational deductions and analytic comparisons. Where one fan sees a difficult season with the opportunity for a hungry team to be tempered and strengthened by the heated competition, another may instead see an uphill battle for an unproven and often overhyped roster.
However, one thing's for certain. Come Week 10, the 2012 Cowboys will have finished a grueling gauntlet and shown their true colors. The stage will be set for this young team to prove whether it's responding as well as we all hope to the process and team culture under the Jason Garrett regime. Consider the following: The Cowboys won't play their home opener until Week 3, after facing the defending champs at their house on the East coast and then traveling to the West coast. After their first nine games in 2012, the Dallas Cowboys will have played six of their eight away games, half of their division games - twice on the road - and four games against 2011 playoff teams. It's quite conceivable that even playing well in tough games to start the season that the Dallas Cowboys find themselves struggling to stay above .500 by mid-season.
I believe it will be at this point, preparing for a three-game stretch at home - twice against division rivals - that the fate of the 2012 season will be written. If the Cowboys can continue to improve while they compete to stay above water by Week 10 and then put things together and grow confidence as they win games at home leading into December, they can conceivably get hot at the "right time." Proving they are ready to make a run in the playoffs when facing the Steelers and Saints in Dallas in late December and concluding the regular season by putting away the Redskins and donning the NFC East crown. Well...that assumes, of course, that things go well.
Follow the jump for a more detailed look at the Cowboys schedule and some more predictions...
I believe the 2012 Cowboys will learn a great deal about themselves in the first-half of the season. I expect their record will hurt because of it, but the team will become stronger for it. It is conceivable that the Cowboys play competitive and inspired football, but by mid-November find themselves with a 5-4 record. If things progress for the team and players continue to develop and prosper in Garrett and Ryan's schemes, I believe this team can then still manage to finish the season at 11-5 as division champs and go on to compete in the post season.
As a student of the game that also understands the incalculable variables that exist in an NFL season, I reserve the right to change my predictions as the year progresses and new evidence and random occurrences alter the known factors of the study. Until certain events transpire and more information is made available, here are my Pre-Preseason predictions for the 2012 Dallas Cowboys.

|At PHI

I expect there will be grumblings about this team for most of the foreseeable future. I expect the Week 1 matchup versus the Giants to be as painful as it is promising. While the Cowboys will put up a fight, the Giants' pass-rush could disrupt the offense enough to where they don't click on all cylinders in their first game, and while the defense and new secondary will be clearly better than last season, Eli will do enough to earn New York the win. Bruised and travel weary, the game against a young and feisty Seattle team will not be as dominant as we hope, but should still see the Cowboys fighting for their first victory of the season. The Cowboys will build some momentum wining two in a row after their home opener; however, a tough Bears team will force the Cowboys to go into their early bye week at 2-2. While the complaining will die down a bit after the Cowboys surprise a tough Ravens team at Baltimore, the dynamic Cam Newton will manage to scramble his way to a frustrating Panthers upset in Dallas.
But take a breath. As the team begins to look haunted by failures of the past, some of the evil spirits are put to rest heading into Halloween as the Cowboys win the rematch with the Giants at home and then follow it up with a road win versus the playoff worthy Falcons. Unfortunately, the Eagles will again frustrate Dallas fans as they win the first matchup in Philadelphia. At 5-4 heading into Week 11, the Dallas Cowboys will be on the hot seat, but I believe this will lead to some team defining victories as they begin to reap some of the fruits of their labors.
I believe the Cowboys will again become the toast of the town and media dynamite as they win out during their three-game home stretch and carry the momentum to go on and win five in a row and beat the Steelers at home to make it a December to remember (RADS - Romo Antagonizing Decemberists - beware). After a minor hiccup against an angry and war-torn (and suspension tormented) Saints team, the Cowboys cap off the regular season with an 11-5 record and the NFC East title while firing on all cylinders as they take over D.C.
I'm sure this seems overly optimistic to some, and I could very well end up thinking the same once the season commences. The greatest challenge to my current predictions will be the improvements made by our rivals in the Beast of the East, and the early season challenges for this young Cowboys team. But at this point, I have a feeling that the coaches and players in Dallas are the start of a promising future for the Garrett regime and new Ryan defense. It will be a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows, and the team and the fans will face an arduous journey and many tests of faith. But in the end, whether as a division leader or wild-card underdog, I foresee the 2012 Cowboys making the playoffs. From there, they should have the youth, hunger, and belief in themselves to make some noise and a run at the big show.
As football fans, we all take in vast amounts of information and analysis, and then blend it with our own fearful memories, high hopes, and deductive reasoning to come up with some predictions and expectations for our favorite team. It's thus no wonder there are so many varied opinions across the BTB community. Until proven wrong, everyone has every right to their own beliefs for what the future holds for the 2012 Dallas Cowboys. This was one man's ravings based on such a collection of evidence and gut feelings. What do you think?

Undated (WXOW) - A new study has revealed that free birth control may dramatically reduce the number of abortions and teen pregnancies.
During a three year test program in St. Louis, researchers found that the number of abortions was below the national average when women were given free contraception. Teen births were much lower, too.
That number dropped from about 34 out of 1,000 women to only 6.3.
Researchers also discovered most women chose long-term birth control, like implants, over cheaper pills.

I'm an obsessive list-maker whose iPhone includes, at this very moment, lists for "Christmas Gift Ideas," "Artists to Buy," and "Favorite Takeout Dinner Orders." So yeah, I'm that guy.
Even though lists are the crudest imaginable tools for organizing the universe, their sheer simplicity proves irresistible time and again. "The Book of Lists," a fat, seemingly random catalog that includes everything from "9 Body Parts You Didn't Know Had Names" to "17 Famous People Who Were Expelled From School," was first published 36 years ago and spawned a series of spinoff books that continue to sell briskly around the world. David Letterman still is milking his Top Ten lists for laughs. And our fascination continues into the digital age; the business model of BuzzFeed.com is built almost entirely around lists ("40 Signs You Went to Berkeley").
Assuming the public appetite for lists is as strong as ever, we created this month's "O.C. Book of Lists," includes everything from the Orange Coast covers we most regret, to the county's biggest tax deadbeats, to our most notable architectural wonders and eyesores. Managing Editor Jim Walters produced the cover package and already is urging a sequel, because the opportunity to create informative and entertaining lists seems endless.
Lists remind us that life can be quantified, correlated, and set down in tidy numbers and words that help make the chaos swirling around us seem somehow understandable, if not manageable. Lists are calming, Prozac for the soul.
So let me tempt you deeper into this issue with yet another list: 5 Surprising Local Realities you'll discover in the pages that follow:Actress Michelle Pfeiffer represented Orange County in the 1978 Miss California pageant. (She lost.)

Abstract. A class of organic molecules extracted from atmospheric aerosol particles and isolated from fog and cloud water has been termed humic-like substances (HULIS) due to certain resemblance to terrestrial and aquatic humic and fulvic acids. In light of the interest that this class of atmospheric compounds currently attracts, we comprehensively review HULIS properties, as well as laboratory and field investigations concerning their formation and characterization in atmospheric samples. While sharing some basic features, accumulating evidence suggests that atmospheric HULIS differ substantially from terrestrial and aquatic humic substances. Major differences between HULIS and humic substances, including smaller average molecular weight, lower aromatic moiety content and higher aliphatic moiety and polysaccharide contents, as well as others, are highlighted. Several alternatives are proposed that may explain such differences: (1) the possibility that mono- and di-carboxylic acids and mineral acids abundant in the atmosphere prevent the formation of large humic ''supramolecular associations''; (2) that large humic macromolecules are destroyed in the atmosphere by UV radiation, O3, and OH-radicals; (3) that ''HULIS'' actually consists of a complex, unresolved mixture of relatively small molecules rather than macromolecular entities; and (4) that HULIS formed via abiotic and short-lived oxidative reaction pathways differs substantially from humic substances formed over long time periods via biologically-mediated reactions. It is concluded that a significant effort towards adopting standard extraction and characterization methods is required to develop a better and more meaningful comparison between different HULIS samples. The essential differences as denoted throughout, point to the possibility that HULIS may not be nearly as humic-like as hitherto believed.

Derivatives of Spectral Functions (1996)

A spectral function of a Hermitian matrix X is a function which depends only on the eigenvalues of X , 1 (X) 2 (X) : : : n (X), and hence may be written f( 1 (X); 2 (X); : : : ; n (X)) for some symmetric function f . Such functions appear in a wide variety of matrix optimization problems. We give a simple proof that this spectral function is differentiable at X if and only if the function f is differentiable at the vector (X), and we give a concise formula for the derivative. We then apply this formula to deduce an analogous expression for the Clarke generalized gradient of the spectral function. A similar result holds for real symmetric matrices. 1 Introduction and notation Optimization problems involving a symmetric matrix variable, X say, frequently involve symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of X in the objective or constraints. Examples include the maximum eigenvalue of X, or log(det X) (for positive definite X), or eigenvalue constraints such as positive semidefinit...

Travelers make rare in-season manager change
June 26, 2011 6:42 AM
The Texas League had a rare in-season managerial change Friday, with Arkansas Travelers skipper Bill Mosiello resigning to accept a job with the University of Tennessee as its recruiting coordinator and hitting coach.
Parent club Anaheim announced that field coordinator Todd Takayoshi will serve as interim manager through July 31 before roving outfield instructor Bobby Mitchell takes over for the rest of the season.
The league's last in-season managerial change came in May 2009, when Tulsa's Stu Cole was promoted to Triple-A Colorado Springs and replaced by Ron Gideon. The only other one in the previous seven seasons came in 2006, when Arkansas' Tyrone Boykin was replaced on Aug. 1 by Keith Johnson.

Labour: 'Faster, stronger' immigration enforcement
Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary will continue Labour's talks on immigration today, as she calls to end the loopholes with student short-term visas.
According to Ms Cooper, the number of such visas has gone up by 30,000 a year since the election, and no checks are being made on whether students study or overstay.
- Stronger checks on shorter-term student visitor visas
- "Faster, stronger enforcement" when illegal immigrants are found
- Unannounced border agency inspections, carried out by officers with arrest powers, for employers and colleges and exit checks at borders
- More prosecutions and higher fines for paying less than the minimum wage
- Measures to tackle "gangmasters" employing illegal migrants in the social care, hospitality and construction industries
- A ban on housing workers in over-crowded accommodation

January 11, 2012 No Comments-
It may seem like the New Year has just begun, but it's already time for Microsoft's first Patch Tuesday of 2012. Microsoft has released seven security bulletins, one critical, to correct eight system vulnerabilities – making it one of the biggest January Patch Tuesdays ever.
Only one of the seven security bulletins, MS12-004, is classified as critical, which is the highest threat rating. The update fixes two issues with Windows Media that affect Windows Media Player, Microsoft Windows Media Libraries and Microsoft DirectShow on Windows Vista and Windows XP, which allows attackers to use a malicious MIDI or DirectShow file to execute code remotely.
In addition to the critical updates, Microsoft added a new vulnerability classification, "security feature bypass" for MS12-0001. The new classification refers to threats that don't directly compromise a system, could help facilitate other attacks. For example, an exploit that turned off a Windows security feature that provided alerts could be classified as a "security feature bypass." It's not surprising that Microsoft has elected to highlight the new category given the role these issues could play in keeping an advanced persistent threat (APT) concealed.
Other notable updates included in January's patch Tuesday:

The season is nearly upon us and most fantasy leagues are getting underway (that is, if yahoo can ever feels like cooperating), so lets take a look at how the Sabres stack up from a fantasy perspective.
*Disclaimer: In no way do I claim to be a "fantasy expert" so I take no responsibility for your likely 11th place finish.
Note: Rankings refer to their positional ranking and may vary from league to league based upon the scoring settings. As some of these lists seem rather questionable, don't put too much faith in them.
Ryan Miller
#30 / Goalie / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 1st (6th overall)
ESPN Ranking: 1st (9th overall)
TSN Rankings: 2nd
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is likely the safest and most consistent choice available at goaltender. In most formats, picking up a quality goaltender is vital due to the large number of stat categories they pick up. As we all know, Miller carries a heavy workload and despite the extra Olympic Games, has proved that he has built up the endurance to handle 65+ games a year. Last year, he finished in the top 5 in wins, goals against average, and save percentage and is expected to continue this level of production. In the past, Miller has not been slightly devalued due to the lack of shutout, though this should no not be a major concern. As a personal preference, I tend to never draft any of the top Sabres due to the probability of mental breakdown after injury. If you are brave enough, however, Miller would be a quality late first round pick.
Thomas Vanek
#26 / Left Wing / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 10th (69th overall)
ESPN Ranking: 21st (91st overall)
TSN Rankings: 12th
After Miller, you probably won't be seeing another Sabre go for a while, unless there is one of those fanatics that only draft players from their favorite team 5 rounds too early (Not that I don't mind having a couple of them around). Vanek is constantly overshadow by his 40 goal season and large contract, but he may be under the radar this year (I'm looking at you ESPN). 30 goals and 60 points are certainly a possibility at a LW position that is historically lacking. In a league where power play goals are a category, Vanek should gain significant value. It was only 2 years ago when Vanek lead the league with 20 power play goals, beating out some guy named Alexander Ovechkin. Vanek is a player with a strong upside, so expect him to rebound after a disappointing showing in '09-10.
Tyler Myers
#57 / Defense / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 14th (83th overall)
ESPN Ranking: 18th (93rd overall)
TSN Rankings: 8th
Myers has a special place in every Sabres fan's heart. Don't let this cloud your better judgment, however. While Myers will continue to put up good offensive numbers, I think it is unreasonable to expect him to surpass his Calder-winning rookie season. If Myers is available I'm not saying you shouldn't take him, but I'm not sure he is worth a reach over proven players like Pronger, Weber, or Lidstrom, as TSN projects.
Tim Connolly
#19 / Center / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 34th (122nd overall)
ESPN Ranking: 26th (63rd overall)
TSN Rankings: 36th
Derek Roy
#9 / Center / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 26th (85th overall)
ESPN Ranking: 32nd (92nd overall)
TSN Rankings: 18th
Don't let Darcy know, but I'm afraid the Sabres probably don't have two top 20 centers. Quality fantasy centers are a dime a dozen, but you can use that fact to your advantage. If you focus on filling other needs first, you can pick up a player like Roy or Connolly later on and still get comparable returns. The rankings look rather conflicted on where exactly these two players should go, which is probably partly due to Connolly's injury concern. If you don't want to constantly be worrying about a gust of wind breaking Timmy's back, Roy is most likely the safer pick, although Connolly will probably finish the year with a higher point total if he remains healthy. Either way, I think these players are great value in respect to the position they usually go.
Jason Pominville
#29 / RW / Buffalo Sabres
Yahoo Ranking: 37th (168th overall)
ESPN Ranking: 21st (73rd overall)
TSN Rankings: 14th
Pominville is a player the always finds a way onto my roster. For a player that has scored 20+ goals and 60+ points for the last four years, Yahoo always seems to undervalue his production. For instance, the player ranked ahead of him? Wayne Simmonds. Ya, I think I'll take my chances on Pominville. I'm not sure I would want him as my top right winger, but you might be able to get a deal on him considering he is projected to go in round 14 of a 12-man league.
Best of the Rest:
These players probably will go undrafted in small leagues, but still have value in deeper ones.
Tyler Ennis: If Ennis to continues his offensive success from last year, he is ready for a breakout season. We still haven't seen if he can continue producing for an entire 80 game season, but he definitely has potential as a sleeper. His dual C/LW eligibility is also always a bonus.
Drew Stafford: Stafford isn't exactly that popular in the Sabres Universe, but he is in a contract year and is expected to put up better numbers. I'll believe it when I see it.
Jochen Hetch: Hetch is a player that is only drafted in 8% of yahoo leagues. If you missed out grabbing a set of left wingers earlier on and need a 20 goal depth player, then Hetch will likely be availible.
Steve Montador/Craig Rivet: These dmen are two of the few Sabres that can provide a constant flow of penalty minutes. They can also add in an offensive spark every once and a while, although there will likely be many better alternatives. Consider taking them in a late, late round.
So what do you guys think? Anyone I leave out or give an unfair evaluation to? Lets hear your thoughts.

BBC News reports that hams in Great Britain can apply for special call signs to commemorate the royal wedding scheduled for this coming weekend:
The telecoms regulator Ofcom has agreed to issue temporary licences, meaning the UK's 60,000 amateur radio enthusiasts can change their call signs to mark the royal wedding. The use of the letter "R" in a UK call sign will signify that the operator is celebrating the event.
The FCC should do something like this to commemorate special events here in the U.S. It doesn't seem to me that it would be all that difficult or expensive to add something to the FCC website that would allow currently-licensed hams to apply for the commemorative callsigns.

12 Fruits & Veggies to Buy Organic
When I shop at the grocery store, I always remind myself of the dirty dozen and avoid the conventional versions on that list to reduce my family's exposure to pesticides. Until I had the list memorized I would often take a copy of it along. I was aware of the dirty dozen for some time before I really started taking it seriously. It was during my first pregnancy, after reading about the amount of chemicals a fetus was exposed to in the womb, that I knew it was important to me to limit that amount as much as possible.
