Vancouver Canucks 2011 Free Agent Wish List
This Friday is one of the most exciting days of the year for hockey fans, July 1st, the start of free agent season! Only trade deadline day and the draft (especially this year with Jeff Carter and Mike Richards getting traded) can come close to matching the intrigue of July 1st. Last year Mike Gillis signed Dan Hamhuis, Manny Malhotra and Jeff Tambellini on the first day of free agency. The previous year Gillis re-signed Daniel and Henrik Sedin, just hours before July 1st.
Canucks Forwards: Who Stays, Who Goes?
Earlier this week we took a look at the Canucks goaltenders and defencemen, deciding who is likely to return and who is likely to move on. Today, we look at the Canucks' forwards. Mike Gillis doesn't have a lot of work to do with his forwards, but he does have options. His most important forwards are already under contract for next year, so it'll be just a matter of tinkering with his depth forwards. Given the lack of production from his second line at even strength, he may want to find a better winger to play with Ryan Kesler.
Deadline Dealings: Canucks Acquire Higgins and Lapierre
Just when you thought the trade deadline was going to pass with Canucks general manager Mike Gillis doing nothing, he pulled off a pair of deals. The Canucks sent Evan Oberg and a 3rd round pick to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Chris Higgins. Gillis also acquired Maxim Lapierre and minor leaguer MacGregor Sharp (part of the all-name team) from the Anaheim Ducks for Joel Perreault and a 2013 3rd round pick.

Palmer and Ford on same page, Lechler recovering from surgery By Steve Corkran Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Much was made about wide receiver Jacoby Ford dropping two passes and not being able to make a play on a deep pass from Carson Palmer on Monday night. Palmer and Ford said, it's much ado about nothing.
"The interception was my fault," Palmer said Wednesday. "It was not his fault at all. It was completely my fault. The drops, that's part of the game. I've thrown Jacoby a lot of balls, and those are the only two balls I remember being dropped with him from last year to this offseason to OTAs to minicamp, this training camp."
Coach Dennis Allen said that Ford could have been more aggressive on the one play, which resulted in an interception by Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh.
Ford said he wasn't pleased with the way he played against the Cowboys. Inconsistent play is to be expected at this time of the season, though.
"It's definitely not the way I wanted to come out and put anything on film like that," Ford said. "But games like that happen and that's why you've got to have a short-term memory and put it behind you. Good thing is, it's preseason, so you kind of just put that behind you now and kind of just go into the next game, work on improvements the next time."
Palmer dismissed any notion that he and Ford lack chemistry. In fact, quite the contrary.
"I've thrown him 100 and something balls probably and completed most of them," Palmer said, "and the incompletes were mostly because of good coverage or bad throws. It's not something that needs to be talked about. Jacoby understands. It's nothing that needs to be talked about.
"I have complete faith in him and he'll catch the next one. I told him right after (the interception) happened, 'I'm coming right back at you to give you another chance.' I know the next ball I throw to him, if it's a bad ball, he'll go up and make a play on it and make a play for me."
Ford echoed Palmer's sentiment, saying he and Palmer are in synch.
"Yeah, most definitely," Ford said. "Me and Carson, we've been on cue every day since OTAs and camp, just working and getting that chemistry and the relationship down. We've been clicking well and that's why the ball was coming to me, and I'm pretty sure he's going to keep throwing to me. He's not going to go away from me at all."
– Defensive tackle Jamie Cumbie, fullback Rashawn Jackson and offensive lineman Ed Wang joined a sizable list of players unable to practice.
Cumbie (foot), Wang (shoulder) and Jackson (hip) suffered their injuries during the Cowboys game. None of the injuries appears to be serious.
On the bright side, running back Mike Goodson (neck) and wide receiver Eddie McGee (hamstring) returned to practice after missing considerable time.
"I wanted to get back out here," Goodson said. "It was tough just sitting at the game, just watching, wanting to be out there with my team. Just happy to be back out here."
Allen said he anticipates Goodson playing Friday night.
To that, Goodson said: "I can't wait. I can't wait. I cannot wait."
Running back Taiwan Jones (hamstring), receiver Denarius Moore (hamstring), punter Shane Lechler (knee), tight end Brandon Myers (shoulder) and linebacker Aaron Curry (knee) also missed practice.
Allen said Curry still is in Los Angeles receiving treaments on his knee. He is expected to rejoin the team next week.
Allen said wide receiver Duke Calhoun (knee) and linebacker Mario Kuhn (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, as expected. There is no firm timetable for those transactions.
– Speaking of Lechler, Allen said he expects his Pro Bowl punter to play in at least one exhibition game. Allen also said that Lechler underwent an arthroscopic prodcedure on his knee.
Lechler has missed all of training camp so far. He said he underwen the procedure before camp started.
"It just slowly progressed," Lechler said. "I'd work out and then I'd have swelling, then I'd work out and have swelling. I just came up and had it cleaned out. … Thirteen years, that's a lot of pounding on my left knee. I feel a whole lot better already than I did before."
In the process, Lechler said he has lost some weight. How much, he didn't say. However, he said he weighs less than he has at any point in his Raiders career. He is listed as 230 pounds on the roster.
The reason Lechler lost weight, he said, is to expedite the healing process. He added that he has no doubt that he will kick in an exhibition game this season.
– Allen had crowd noised pumped in while the offense performed a drill as a means of simulating the conditions in a road game.
The Raiders play the Arizona Cardinals on Friday night in their first game away from the Oakland Coliseum this year.
Good thing Allen is working on that now, for there were several instances of players moving before the snap or being late off the ball.
– A Tweet Tuesday said that the Raiders were going to work out undrafted free agent defensive tackle Myles Wade. Allen said he isn't sure if that workout took place. Wade spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this season.
– Great scene after practice, with Palmer staying after to talk to and run with second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
Then again, that's nothing new for Palmer, revered by Allen and his teammates for his work ethic and selflessness.
"It says a lot about Carson as a person," Allen said. "It says a lot about him as far as his being a team player. It says a lot about him as far as his unselfishness. Says a lot about him as far as wanting to win."
That kind of approach is what it takes for the Raiders, or any team, to be successful, Allen said. Palmer and other projected starters can't be fearful of sharing information or helping get better players competing for jobs and playing time.
"That's the only way you develop a team and that's the only way you develop a championship team is. we all got to be in this together," Allen said. "We're not independent contractors looking out for ourselves, we're looking out for the Raiders and what we feel like helps us win.
"It helps Carson Palmer if Terrelle Pryor as a quarterback. If Christo Bilukidi gets better, it helps Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour, because we're in this for one reason and one reason only, and that's to win and we need everybody to do that."
– Pryor spent most of his time against the Cowboys running around, away from defenders, scrambling for positive yardage, avoiding persistent pressure.
Still, Allen admitted, there were some instances where Pryor, perhaps, could have stayed in the pocket longer and gone through his reads.
"It's a combination of a lot of things," Allen said. "Obviously, there were a couple of times where protection broke down. There were some times where he's got to sit in there and make his reads. But it's been a year since he's been in a real football game.
"I wasn't totally discouraged. I'm looking for him to get better. He's been working hard to do that, so I'm not going to draw any conclusions on where Terrelle Pryor is. I'm going to let the process play out."
– Quote of the day: "There's no comparison to where I'll be at week seven or eight this year as opposed to last year. Just getting the experience and reps I need now will pay off come week one." — Palmer, who joined the Raiders midway through last season via trade after not playing at all until mid-October
– Coaches always pay particularly close attention to rookies and younger players in exhibition games, hoping to glean as much information as possible on whether they can make the 53-man roster and, maybe, even contribute right away.
To that end, Allen said he was impressed by the NFL debuts of defensive linemen Christo Bilukidi and Dominique Hamilton on Monday.
"I was impressed with both of them, as far as their effort," Allen said. "Christo, specifically, on the run defense, he was pretty powerful in there, and that's things that he's got to work and continue to get better. It was good to see him play the run well, and it was good to see Hamilton with a nice pass rush, getting the sack on the quarterback."

National Drowning Prevention Alliance Presents Seven John Hamed Student Scholarship Awards
John Hamed Student Scholarship Awards Presented to Seven Aquatics Students At the 12th Annual NDPA Symposium, March 13-15 in Fort Lauderdale.
PR Log
- Mar 26, 2013 - The
National Drowning Prevention Alliance
presented 7 awards to student majoring in aquatics during a luncheon ceremony on Friday March 15th at the 12th
Annual National Drowning Prevention Symposium
, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The NDPA Annual Drowning Prevention Symposium is the leading national conference devoted to drowning prevention and water safety. This educational event is designed to offer attendees the opportunity to network with advocates and experts in research, products, educational programming, outreach strategies, policy and code, international relations, and with families raising awareness of drowning prevention and water safety. This year, the theme for the Symposium was "
Reaching Out
". The NDPA Awards ceremony was hosted by the
USA Swimming Foundation
, with Executive Director Debbie Hesse as the ceremony emcee.
Three years ago at the NDPA Drowning Prevention 2010 Symposium was held in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. John Hamed, at that time a student at Slippery Rock University studying aquatics and working with Professor Robert Ogoreuc at that event, wanted to attend the Symposium as a participant, but could not afford to do so. Hearing John's story, the NDPA decided to create the John Hamed Scholarship Award in order to assist other aspiring aquatics students in their career goals. With this goal in mind, the NDPA decided to use the funds attained through the silent auction to provide scholarships for students who were interested in a career in aquatics to attend the NDPA Symposium in subsequent years.
The revenue from silent auction at the 2010 Symposium enabled the NDPA to send one college student interested in aquatics as a possible career to the 2011 NDPA Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During the silent auction at the 2011 NDPA Symposium the NDPA was able to garner enough funding for scholarships to send two students to the NDPA 2012 Symposium in San Diego, California. The silent auction in San Diego resulted in funding for even more scholarships enabling the NDPA to send five students to the Symposium this year, and created the first ever Internship with the NDPA for one student. In addition, one more scholarship was donated from NDPA Board member Gerald M. Dworkin, Consultant, Aquatics Safety & Water Rescue Lifesaving Resources, LLC, who donated his "spot" as a sponsor of the Symposium to another student.

After a strong spring, Nathan Eovaldi was ready to start his season with the Marlins.
A shoulder injury postponed those plans for a few months, but Eovaldi's season is about to get going.
Eovaldi, who has made five appearances in the minors since May, was told he will start Miami's game Tuesday in Arizona.
Acquired from the Dodgers in the Hanley Ramirez deal in July, Eovaldi went 3-7 with a 4.43 ERA after joining the Marlins in 2012.
On Thursday night, Eovaldi gave up two runs off five hits in six innings to earn the victory for Double A Jacksonville over the visiting Montgomery (Ala.) Biscuits.
"Ever since I started throwing, the shoulder has felt great," Eovaldi said from his locker stall inside Marlins Park on Friday afternoon. "I'm glad to be back. I'm good to go. I've never had anything wrong with my shoulder, and it has been a learning process. I've had to make it stronger. I've learned to take care of it."
Manager Mike Redmond said he liked what he saw from Eovaldi in the spring, one in which the 23-year-old right-hander went 3-0 in six appearances, allowing 10 earned runs and striking out 16 over 24 2/3 innings.
"Things have been going well for him; he's been throwing hard," Redmond said.
"The most important thing for him is how he feels, getting his arm strength back up. He had a great spring and then went down with the shoulder.
"He's been out a long time. I know it's been a long road for him. He's excited to be part of the team again. And we're happy to have him back.''
Eovaldi will take Tuesday's start from Kevin Slowey, but Redmond said he hasn't decided how the rotation is going to shake out with the addition of Eovaldi.
"Right now, the plan is for [Eovaldi] to start on Tuesday in Arizona and we'll mix-and-match with the rotation to see what fits,'' Redmond said.
Logan Morrison out
Recently activated first baseman Logan Morrison missed Friday's series opener against St. Louis with a sore back, Redmond said, adding that Morrison's back apparently tightened up while he was taking early batting practice before the game.
Greg Dobbs started in Morrison's spot.
"[Friday] was the first I had heard of it," Redmond said. "He tried to take a few swings and it was tight ... I have no idea how those things work. It's up to him. Back things usually take more than a day. Hopefully not.''
Morrison missed all of spring training and the first two months of the season after knee surgery. After a rehab stint in the minors, Morrison made his 2013 debut last Sunday in New York. In three games, Morrison had four hits in nine at-bats.
• Pitcher Steve Cishek has a Bruins' jersey hanging near his locker stall and said he got home in time to see a lot of Wednesday's epic Stanley Cup Finals opener.
Cishek, from Falmouth, Mass., watched the end of the third and the three overtime periods to follow. Chicago won 4-3 in the third overtime.
"With our schedule, it's kind of hard to watch all the games," Cishek said. "But I watched a lot of hockey that night."
• New Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace threw out the first pitch.
Coming up
• Saturday: Marlins RHP Tom Koehler (0-4, 3.91 ERA) vs. St. Louis Cardinals RHP Lance Lynn (8-1, 3.00), 4:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Sunday: Marlins RHP Ricky Nolasco (3-7, 3.80) v. St. Louis Cardinals LHP Tyler Lyons (2-2, 3.51), 1:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Scouting report: Since joining the rotation in May, Koehler is 0-4 with 21 strikeouts and eight walks. Koehler has never faced the Cardinals. Lynn, who faced the Marlins twice out of the bullpen in 2011, makes his first start against Miami.

Book 2010 fertilizer this summer…seriously
Farmers who bought fertilizer last summer and fall may act like a kicked puppy when it comes time to price product ahead for 2010 and beyond. But with wholesale fertilizer prices on the decline, it's time to get over it and bite back, says Farm Journal Economist Bob Utterback.
"My feeling is very strong that we're putting a low in this crude oil market in the $35 to $40/barrel level," he says. "The bottom will arrive in midsummer and we'll start an upward thrust in crude oil, contingent on how fast global economies recover."
With an expected decrease in corn acreage this year, it's possible acres could rebound in 2010, putting strain on fertilizer supplies, he says. Fertilizer producers can increase profits with lower volume, he says, so there is little incentive to keep production up. He assumes fertilizer demand in China will remain strong, particularly for potash and phosphate.
With tighter margins, Utterback says, "You have to start integrating crop insurance, options and futures into an organized plan so you know how you're going to operate six months to a year out if a price event does come to you." —Greg Vincent
Markets set to grind lower
Of the advisers we track, EHedger has the most cash sales on the books: 45% each for corn and soybeans. "We started selling when the market went into panic mode with late planting last spring," says Justin Kelly, president. "With corn futures hitting $7, it seemed demand destruction was inevitable. At the same time, rumors began to circulate that elevators were going to stop making new-crop bids. So we sold about 25%." They added to sales when elevator bids came back on line.
"Now I think we're going to grind lower and there's a good chance cash corn could drop below $3 again and soybeans below $7," Kelly says. "Farmers are holding a ton of grain that may cap rallies as they sell. Hedged or owning put options is the place to be until prices are cheaper and end-user margins improve."

Bar hop. Black, some lace. Slightly above average mouthfeel. Seems to have different batches of coffees, and roast. Roast not overdone, but not so drinkable. Acidity is present, not overwhelming, but not appealing either. Fair for this style, but some people may like it.

Hey guys.
Fader 1 on 1 - NYC, Nov 2007
I just wanted to finally post a review for my new buddy FADER.
My brother and I signed up for a one-on-one on 11/2 and 11/3 with him. Being very tentative, this was definitely a big step but it was well worth it to basically "put a lot of theory to the test".
What can I say about Fader, the kid's a MACHINE! We met at Starbucks and went through a lot of inner game issues and he took a lot of time to answer all our questions regarding approach anxiety, material, structure, etc.
Things seemed to go well during our informal "class" before we went out around Union Square and a few other places in NYC. The guy is very cool, down to earth, and knows his stuff (talks like he's got a bunch of hot peppers up his butt at times = lightspeed, but God bless him...).
The sarging at the bars went well. He coached us in a manner that was very "hands on" and he stood by our side the whole time making critiques and little corrections. He would point, and either my brother or I would open the set.
The first night was a learning process where we struggled with some of the material still being so fresh (opening, transitioning, and basically coming up with stuff to say so we don't stand there looking like we're holding our dicks in our hands). We struggled at first and even got blown out on a couple of sets (those cuntish NYC bitches man...but that's how we learn of course).
No number closes the first day but we both opened about 7-8 sets each without much approach anxiety (a lot had to do with Fader's frame of mind of just going up to these lame bitches like we were Alpha males ready to "piss on them" as he so eloquently put them). At the end of the night we got a slice of pizza and talked about some more game issues.
The next day we met up with him again and we came with some questions he asked us to write on a notebook (I wrote a lot of stuff about hired guns, because I want to fuck strippers of course...why the hell do you even have to ask?, while my brother's approach was more subtle). We talked a lot about frame control, hoop theory, push-pull and basically came up with our own customized routine to use that night (we did the same opener, transition and attraction so that we could calibrate and find out what the variables were other than our delivery). It went much better this time around. I hooked this one set and talked to them for about 10 minutes before my brother stepped in to wing, and eventually Fader came in to block the "obstacle". We number closed (turned out to be fake #s, so we still have quite a bit of work left during attraction and qualification). The other sets were hooking better than the previous night (mostly because we were familiarizing with the "routine" we made up). We talked quite a bit later in the evening outside one of those bars on 2nd avenue and believe it or not we even gave Fader some good banter lines and a couple of very memorable quotes (come on...don't make it "awckward" now Leon...and "practice makes permanent"). It was really cool and my brother and I made a genuine friend out of him. Plus I got to grope this one girl there by just imposing my frame on her and "telling" her to show me her ass (that's right...cause I'm Alpha bitches!).
The only thing I wish he could have done better was to maybe bring a "cheat sheet" or some sort and pass it out to us, highlighting the main areas he was going to concentrate on. Other than that it was a very worthwhile experience and we will DEFINITELY hang out and see him again (hopefully as equals sometime down the line, but there's still a lot of work to do until then).
Props to Fader from Mike and David, the fighting brothers!

For the last eighteen years, September in our family has meant a shift: from open-ended summer hours to school schedules. If you're a parent, you know all about the mixed feelings that accompany the turning of the season. In this month of shorter days, cooler nights, fresh starts, and new notebooks, the urge to shake things up a little coincides quite neatly with the departure of children, the return to classes, a kind of general buckling down and getting back to business.
I'm always a little sad to see my own boys go, already regretting the swims we didn't get to take, the picnic dinner I meant to pack and never did, the Netflix movies I was certain we'd watch together that are still sitting in a basket on the kitchen counter. But there's a touch of eagerness and relief as well. The kids go back to school and the house is mine again. Time expands into the unfamiliar silence. New projects beckon.
This year, September is already proving to be a little unsettling. For the moment, no one is going anywhere. Jack, who graduated from high school last spring, is taking a year off to heal two broken vertebrae in his back; he'd like to start college pain-free. And Henry, who graduated from college in May and just finished a demanding summer job on Cape Cod (nine musicals in eleven weeks), is home again, applying for jobs, taking an online class, figuring out next steps.
The irony, of course, is that having finally grown comfortable in our "empty nest" over the last two years, while Henry was away at college and Jack at boarding school, I must now get accustomed all over again to having a house full of people. Young adult people whose schedules and housekeeping standards and dietary needs and ideas about how to spend Friday night do not necessarily match my own.
I love my sons and my husband. And there's nothing I like more than sitting down to dinner with our whole family gathered around the table. But I've found myself, over the last week or two, wondering how I can reclaim some of the spaciousness and ease I'd just begun to appreciate in my post-child-rearing years – while at the same time making our home a warm and welcoming place once again for all four of us.
Enter Gretchen Rubin.
I first heard of Gretchen from my mom, the very day her first book, The Happiness Project, was published. "I just saw this woman on the Today Show," my mother said, "and she's already on the New York Times best-seller list."
I watched the clip on my computer. The music and images brought tears to my eyes. Gretchen's thoughts about what really matters in life aligned with my own; this young mother of two was clearly very smart and thoughtful. But I didn't really want another "project." Besides, I thought, I was older than she, and therefore presumably wiser as well. And honestly, wasn't I happy enough already?
One night last month, I looked over at Steve, reading in bed beside me. To my surprise, he was absorbed in The Happiness Project – not at all the sort of book he's generally drawn to. "This is really good," he said, looking up. "I think we should both read it. It would be fun to try some of this stuff."
A few days later, an email from my friend Margaret: "I think you will really like Gretchen Rubin's new book, Happier at Home."
Margaret lives alone with her companionable cat Jack in a storybook cottage surrounded by magical gardens. She grows her own food, sustains an extraordinary web of friendships, reads and writes in a room with a view of a frog pond, a magnificent Buddha statue, a proliferation of brilliant flora and entertaining fauna. She sips tea out of hand-thrown mugs from Tibet. She is, by all accounts, quite happy at home. And, clearly, she's more open-minded than I about becoming just a bit happier.
No sooner had I promised Margaret that I'd read Happier at Home, and placed an order for it, than an advance copy arrived on my doorstep from Gretchen's publisher. Was the universe trying to tell me something? Did I have anything at all to lose by listening? I sat down and began to flip through the book at random.
And the first page I came to was about. . . KISSING! Gretchen decides that one easy way to bring more happiness into her home is to make a simple ritual: "Kiss in the morning, kiss at night." (Kissing, she points out, is a very popular activity, practiced in more than 90% of cultures.) And so, she considers the day's various kissing opportunities, reminding herself that if something is important to her, it's worth making time for – even if that means timing kisses with the regularity of toothbrushing.
The result is no surprise. It's all too easy to stay distracted by our own concerns as we rush to and fro, absorbed in the business of our separate lives at home. But, "by acting more loving," she writes, "I made myself feel loving." At the same time, she made her loved ones feel more loved. Simple, right?
I'm charmed by the idea of more kissing. This most definitely does not feel like a "project," more like a gentle reminder of a truth I already know and hold close to my heart: that a good life isn't about moving fast to get to some place better, it's more often about slowing down and fully embracing what's right in front of me. Especially the very people I profess to love most of all. The thought of more kissing made my heart do a happy little somersault. No equipment necessary; no new items on the to-do list. (I already have lips. And I figured I could remember to kiss Steve and my boys more times throughout the day without writing it down.)
When I finally turned to the beginning of the book and started to read, I understood right away why Gretchen has become a kind of happiness guru to the masses. She writes simply and honestly about what it means to live well on this earth. She backs her observations up with wonderful personal anecdotes and reflections, the kinds of stories your smartest, most entertaining friend would share with you over a cup of tea. She moves and educates and digs deep – all the while reminding us that we don't have to re-invent ourselves in order to feel more fulfilled. We can change our lives without changing our lives.
So, I'm with Margaret and Steve. I do love this book, and since I now have TWO brand new copies of Happier at Home, and since Margaret suggested we could spread some happiness in the world by giving more books away, this week I will send one person who comments below their own copy of Happier at Home.
I'm pretty sure that even if the notion of "More Kissing" doesn't inspire you to action, or at least to some sort of inner shift, something else in these pages will. Perhaps you will resonate with: Underreact to a Problem, or Give Warm Greetings and Farewells, or Read the Manual (this one, alas, is NOT in my near future), or Guard My Children's Free Time. As Gretchen points out, "Everyone's idea of home, or happiness, is unique, but it's the rare person who can't benefit from a happiness project." Now that I've read her fine book, I have to say, I absolutely agree.
P.S. I had just decided that more kissing was the path for me. That night, I went to my bookshelf in search of a bit of poetry to read before falling asleep. I took Daniel Ladinsky's lovely red book, Love Poems from God, to bed with me (a gift, as it happens, from Margaret). The poem I opened to was this:
One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my death bed is that I did not kiss you enough.
~ Hafiz, trans. Daniel Ladinsky
How to Win the Books
To triple your chances to win Happier at Home, Margaret Roach of A Way to Garden and her friend Pam Kueber of RetroRenovation and I each have a copy of the book to share. All of us are what could be described as home-centric, which is why we decided to do this three-way blog event together. (Besides, there's happiness in togetherness, right?)
Simply comment below by sharing some way you've boosted your happiness at home, then copy your comment to all three blogs (to Margaret's blog here and to RetroRenovation.com at this link) and improve your odds. Feeling shy? Just say, "Count me in" if so. Your entry will be official.
Winners will be chosen at random after entries close at midnight on Sunday, September 16. Good luck to all—and much happiness in your home and garden, from which all blessings flow.
(Disclosure: Books bought from Amazon links here yield a small commission, which I use to buy books for future giveaways.)

Kyle Eastwood Movies and Career Information
May 19, 1968
Los Angeles
Kyle Eastwood (born May 19, 1968) is an American jazz musician. He studied film at the University of Southern California for two years before embarking on a music career. After becoming a session player in the early '90s and leading his own quartet, he released his first solo album, From There to Here, in 1998. His most recent album, Metropolitain, was released 2 June 2009 by Rendezvous. Eastwood plays acoustic and electric as well as double bass. He is the son of filmmaker and actor Clint Eastwood. Eastwood comes from a musical family, as explained in an October 27, 2006, from The Independent: It comes as little surprise, then, that music was a prominent fixture in the Eastwood home. According to his biography with Hopper Management, Eastwood grew up listening to records by jazz legends such as Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, and the Stan Kenton Big Band with his parents, both jazz lovers. Eastwood attended the Monterey Jazz Festival numerous times with his parents, as well.

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (WKOW) -- Authorities in Alabama say the boy held hostage for about a week is doing fine.
The FBI stormed the bunker and rescued 5-year-old Ethan Monday.
Officials say negotiations deteriorated with Jimmy Dykes, the man holding Ethan hostage, and they believed the boy was in danger.
Authorities say Ethan is now in the hospital with his mother and is in good spirits.
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (WKOW) -- The hostage situation in Alabama is over and the boy who was held hostage is safe.
The FBI says officers stormed the underground bunker where the boy was being held after his abductor, 65-year-old Jimmy Dykes, was seen with a gun.
At that point, officers believed the boy was in imminent danger. Officers entered the bunker just after 3 p.m. CST.
The 65-year-old Dykes had held the boy in the bunker after killing a school bus driver and grabbing the boy last week.


text: Darwin for the DNA age 08 September 11 by Neal Pollack Tweet Juan Enriquez Philip Sinden On the rare weeks when Enriquez is home, he receives his post in Newton, a verdant suburb ten minutes' drive from Harvard and a short hop away from MIT. He lives in a mustard-yellow 1845 wood-framed house that was once used by the Underground Railroad as a safe haven for escaped slaves. Enriquez describes the house as "silly and rambling", though he admits that he enjoys writing on the wraparound front porch.The house is filled with artefacts. Enriquez's wife Mary is curator of contemporary and modern art at Harvard, and the house reflects a combination of his peripatetic eclecticism and her exquisite taste. Gourds covered in text sit next to 200-year-old Moroccan books and a display case of rare toys from Mexico. Siquieros originals hang on the walls. Enriquez also collects antique maps, which take up wall space in several rooms on the ground floor. Rem Koolhaas named a map of global nucleotide data flow, jointly created by Enriquez, as part of an "ultimate atlas of the 21st century". Enriquez keeps that one in his Boston office. At his home, a map from the 1480s depicts Jerusalem as the centre of the world. Another shows Europe in the shape of a queen. There's Captain Cook's logbook, an early map of the Amazon, and a Franco-German map from the late 1700s that depicts love as a war between men and women, watched over by "General Cupid". "[The maps] teach me how people saw the world, what the edge of the known world was, what they were discovering, what they knew -- and where they went wrong," he says. "Part of what I try to do is map where things are going and then build something around it. So it helps me to understand where things have been, what trends are and what I'm building next." When Enriquez says "build", it need not mean a physical object. It could refer to a book, or an idea, or an idea about an idea, making him a master architect of abstraction."He's an invaluable person to interact with in helping to think through things, because of the breadth of his intellect, and his integrity, and his ability to communicate," says Warren Muir, executive director of the division of Earth and Life Studies at the National Academy, a non-political US government entity on whose advisory board Enriquez sits. "He can take the world in, and he can integrate it in ways that most people cannot."But unlike some other academics and intellectuals, Enriquez seeks concrete results. "Juan wants the world to be different tomorrow than it is today," says Gullans. "That's the number-one thing that drives him."After escaping Mexico with his life, Enriquez settled into a career teaching international affairs and business at Harvard. On New Year's Eve 1995, he and his wife found themselves in Hilton Head, South Carolina, as guests at a Renaissance Weekend -- a periodic gathering of intellectuals and celebrities that was popular during the Clinton presidency. At dinner one night, he found himself sitting next to "a poor guy who was there all alone". That poor guy turned out to be Craig Venter, a scientist at the National Institutes of Health, who'd just sequenced the genetic code for a strain of influenza. Enriquez's intellect started tingling. "The notion that you could have the entire code for something that lived was just incredibly cool," he says. Venter had recently raced a 25-metre yacht across the Atlantic, and he needed help getting his boat back to the States. Enriquez had some skill as a sailor -- and had a lot more questions for Venter. Two weeks later, they met in the Canary Islands. "I've never had a schedule," Enriquez says. "When stuff matters, you get on a plane and do it. Craig was doing something that made me think, 'This makes a difference, let's figure this one out.'"

Antti Miettinen Done with KHL Team
This is a bit difficult to follow, as everything is in Russian, but it is clear that Antti Miettinen and Ak Bars Kazan have "Mutually agreed to terminate their contract." Here is a translation via Google: "Today Contract HC "Ak Bars" with the Finnish winger Antti Miettinen was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties. This season, Antti Miettinen spent the Kazan club 20 games that scored 8 points (2 goals + 6 assists) and eight penalty minutes." Interesting news, with little to no impact on the current season. There is no joy in Mudville about this, and everyone hopes Miettinen can hook up somewhere else. All jokes aside, he can play a role on a team, and deserves at least a chance to do so.

Noonan: 'Americans Are Snake-Bit' From War She Cheered For
Peggy Noonan has time and again shamelessly attempted to rewrite her own history and her cheerleading of our invasion of Iraq. This Sunday, she did her best to completely ignore that cheerleading as well, and told the panel on Face the Nation that American's are "snake-bit" when it comes to more military intervention in the Middle East.

Burgamy signs with St. Paul
Brian Burgamy might still return to York at some point this season. The Revolution are just going to have to wait a little bit longer. Out of work since his Mexican League team finished playing Aug. 3, the former Revs slugger signed over the weekend with St. Paul in the independent American Association.
St. Paul is still mathematically alive for the post-season, although the Saints are sitting 10.5 games back of Fargo-Moorhead in the North Division and 5.5 games back of Gary SouthShore in the wildcard. The American Association regular season finishes Sept. 2. York's final regular season game is Sept. 15, meaning Burgamy could come back to the Revs if St. Paul doesn't make the playoffs.
York was hoping to bring Burgamy back after he finished playing in the Mexican League. Revs' manager Mark Mason had said last week Burgamy told him he wanted to go home and rest briefly and then he'll touch base with Mason on possibly returning to York. The slugger left the Revs in early June for Campeche. At the time, he led the team lead in batting average (.345) home runs (nine), runs scored (38), total bases (98), walks (32) and triples (three). He was also second on the team in hits (57) behind Andres Perez.
The Oklahoma native batted .335 with 15 homers and 35 RBIs in 48 games with Campeche.
While players have a better chance at getting picked up out of the Atlantic League by a major league club, some still leave for the Mexican League for the chance to make more money. That move made sense for Burgamy, 32, who was in his fifth-straight season in the Atlantic League and likely didn't have much of a chance to get signed by a big league organization no matter how good his numbers were with the Revs.
For that same reason, it makes sense he opted to go to the American Association instead of return to York. Each team in the American Association has some sort of option where they can pay two veteran players a lot more money than the remaining players on the roster. Burgamy likely falls in that category for St. Paul.
Of course, this isn't the first time something like this happened to York. During the off-season, former York closer R.J. Rodriguez signed with the American Association's Lincoln ballclub.
"R.J. loves me to death. He told me it's not personal," Mason had said in an interview in March. "He needs a change of scenery. He'll make a little bit more money than he did here."
Burgamy is already doing a good job helping St. Paul in its push for the post-season. The first baseman is only 2-for-9 in three games so far, but both hits are homers, including a walk-off two-run homer in extra-innings Sunday night.
Revs win again: It feels weird to type those words. Yes. York won again Sunday night, defeating Lancaster in the series finale, 6-4, to win the three-game series, 3-to-1 and become the 2013 Community Cup champions. To check out the game story, click here.
With 32 games to play, York is still 10 games back of Sugar Land for first place in the second-half Freedom Division race. The wildcard picture is even worse, as the Revs are 13.5 back of Somerset in that category. Mason shares his thoughts on that in the game story.
Tomko leaves York: Click here to check out a blog post on Brett Tomko and his plans for the next steps in his career. The former Revs' ace took time out to return my phone call Sunday afternoon while sitting in the Detroit airport waiting for a flight to Arizona, where he'll begin an introduction to scouting camp Monday.
As for York's plan to fill the hole in the rotation left by Tomko's departure, Mason said he's trying to bring a starting pitcher in "hopefully in the next three to four days."
Perez, Hernandez out: Second baseman Andres Perez and outfielder Michael Hernandez did not see action Sunday night. Perez said he is recovering from a left shoulder injury suffered when he landed on the shoulder Saturday while trying to make a play in the field. He said he's day-to-day. Hernandez left the club for personal reasons but is expected to return Tuesday, Mason said.
Somerset's Fox signed by Diamondbacks: The Arizona Diamondbacks signed Somerset infielder Jake Fox on Sunday. MLBdailydish.com reporter Chris Cotillo broke the news first. This is the second year in a row Fox got picked up out of the Atlantic League by a major league club (last year it was the Phillies). A potential Atlantic League Player of the Year candidate, Fox leaves Somerset leading the league in homers (25) and RBIs (82) to go along with a .310 batting average (sixth league) and 62 runs scored (eighth league).
Fox will report to Class AAA Reno, where he'll join former Sugar Land Skeeters' pitcher Matt Wright. Fox is the fifth Somerset player signed by a major league organization this season. He's also the third Atlantic League player picked up by the Arizona Diamondbacks this year, joining Wright and outfielder Dustin Martin (Sugar Land).
Veracruz advances: Veracruz won its best-of-five first-round playoff series over Carmen, 3-1, over the weekend. As a result, Veracruz now advances to the best-of-seven series semifinal round against Quintana Roo. Why is that important? Well, former Revs' pitchers Lorenzo Barcelo and Ricardo Gomez play for Veracruz, which means the pitchers could return to York when Veracruz is finished playing. In the semis against Quintana Roo, Barcelo and Gomez will face a pair of former Atlantic Leaguers in pitchers Horacio Ramirez (Lancaster) and Kelvin Villa (Sugar Land).Read More

What to expect
We are committed to providing you with top quality primary care. Our staff and practitioners will know not only your name, but those of your family. Quality care involves listening to you & spending more than 10 minutes with you. This is health insurance that feels like its on your side & not about making big money. We also create a schedule where you can easily make an appointment & get in quickly. Or better yet, have a phone conversation with your practitioner.
Acupuncture or Herbal Consult
Your treatment plan
Once your practitioner has gathered enough information, you'll receive a comprehensive diagnosis and a treatment plan that will explain:
- Your underlying imbalances
- Your time line of care
- What types of treatment you will receive
Getting the most out of your acupuncture treatment
For the best treatment results, keep a few things in mind:
- Please show up on time
- Don't eat a large meal before your visit but don't skip the meal prior to your treatment either
- Wear loose, comfortable clothes
- Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns with your practitioner
- Refrain from overexertion, drugs or liquor for at least six hours after treatment
- Follow your treatment plan between visits
- Keep all of your appointments, as each visit builds upon the previous ones
How the acupuncture treatment works
To treat any Qi imbalances, fine, sterile needles will be inserted at specific acupuncture points along the meridian pathways. Your acupuncturist will concentrate on acupuncture points related to specific organs, based on your unique issues and symptoms. Your acupuncturist may include other related therapies in your treatment plan, such as cupping, Gwa Sha or moxabustion.
Chinese Herbal therapy
Chinese herbal medicinals are another important aspect of Oriental medicine. Each customized formula is individualized with great care and sophistication to harmonize your unique imbalances. We do not treat the disease, so much as we treat the person who has the disease. Chinese herbal medicine is a wonderful way to continue the benefits of acupuncture treatments from visit to visit. However, if you desire, you may receive the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine without receiving acupuncture at all. See our related article "Acupuncture or Chinese Herbal Medicine?"
Your role in the healing process
Your actions are a key component of your treatment plan. Focusing on your health and committing to a healthy lifestyle are the best steps you can take for your well-being. Together, you and your practitioner can heal your imbalances and help you achieve health, harmony and balance.
Even after your symptoms are resolved, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine can assist you in maintaining your health, and prevent future health problems. The more you incorporate Oriental Medicine into your life, the more you'll achieve health holistically.
Oriental Medicine is not an instant fix.
True healing takes time and dedication. Depending on your current health and symptoms, you could feel better within a brief period of time, or you may need multiple treatments that occur over a span of time to achieve the healthy life you are looking for. After evaluating you and becoming more familiar with you, your practitioner can give you an idea of what to expect. Health is a journey. It is cultivated. At Lotus Center, we offer a safe, effective, and holistic health care system.
Massage or Bodywork
During your first session, we'll go over a number of things:
- Medical history – you will fill out a form noting past accidents, injuries, ailments, current issues, medications and anything else you think the practitioner should know.
- How your days are spent – at a computer all day, on your feet all day or do you do a lot of heavy lifting, work out, or repetitive motion?
- Explanation of various bodywork modalities we offer so we can decide which would the best for you.
What happens during the treatment
After instructing you on how to get ready, the practitioner will leave the room while you situate yourself on the massage table. Some work can be done with clothing on while some modalities require you to disrobe; you may choose to keep underwear on. The room will be comfortably warm with a sheet and blanket.
When the practitioner re-enters the room, they will take a moment to get grounded and begin the work. Please feel free to ask questions, and to tell the practitioner if something needs to be different, if you need pillows or water, or to use the bathroom. Remember, this is your session and it is helpful for you to inform the practitioner what you feel about what works or doesn't.
If unclothed, you will be covered with a sheet/blanket, and we will remove the covering only of the area we're working on.
When your time is up, the practitioner will leave the room for you to gently stretch and get dressed.

Much has been made of the Richardson trade and the lack of production he has given the Colts over this 5 week span. I am not going to delve into all the excuses and possible legit reasons he hasn't blown up the NFL landscape with the Colts YET (yes I said yet), as I believe he will finally become comfortable in this system at some point.
Well, my prediction is that now after the bye week T-Rich will run for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns in this prime time Sunday match up against the sinking Houston Texans. And yes, that is my exact prediction, 128 yards and 2 touchdowns. Houston's defense is very good, in fact, I believe they are ranked at the top of the league. Although, the Texans are giving up 122.5 yards a game on the ground which is 28th in the NFL.
While the loss of Reggie Wayne is a giant turd in the punch bowl, not only because of his leadership, but because Reggie caught 35% of the Colts 1st downs. We know what Reggie brought to this team and I don't want to get into that either as it would take this post off subject. But that 35% for 1st downs is huge. And while I think that Luck and the rest of the WR unit will pick up the slack (because Andrew Luck is that good), I think there should be some obvious adjustments they will have to make and that may take a game or 2. How I think the Colts counter this loss is rely heavily on T-Rich on 1st or 2nd down or both to put us in a lot of 3rd and short, manageable situations. T-Rich has had 5 full games and now a bye week to familiarize himself with this offense, oline, and teammates. In this game I believe he silences a lot of critics and shows exactly the kind of running back he is against the 28th rushing defense in the league to the tune of 128 yds and 2 tds.
Folks, I am not giving up on Trent Richardson. But honestly, if he doesn't start to have some big games for us soon then this is going to turn out to be a bad trade. He is a solid back who will get us some very tough yards. But 1st round running backs have to give you more than 3.0 yds a carry. And they have to make IMPACT plays. Again this is why I am predicting Richardson will have a signature game this Sunday.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Busted Again, Caught Driving W/ Mary Jane
Tuesday, Aug 2, 2011 10:25PM
Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame has once again found himself making headlines for another run-in with law enforcement after getting detained by Georgia police on a drug possession charge.
Details of what went down Tuesday (August 2) have hit the Internet.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... Waka was pulled over for a routine traffic violation a few hours ago ... but when cops approached the rapper's White Chevy Tahoe, they could smell the odor of weed. We're told Waka was asked to step out of the vehicle -- and was placed in handcuffs. When cops searched the ride, officers say they found "a small amount of marijuana"on the floor. Waka was cited for possession of less than 1 ounce of weed AND failure to wear aseat belt. He was eventually released and sent on his way. We're told Waka was "very cooperative" during the incident. (TMZ)
A few weeks ago, Flocka addressed reports claiming he was arrested on a drug possession charge in New York.
"I'm finna jump on my flight 2 Kc ........ sorry 2 da whole m town 4 not coming I had spend a nite n jail with no charge #onlybecauseirap," he tweeted July 24th.
"Can't no 1 stop with GOD got planned 4me no that Know that." (Waka Flocka Flame's Twitter)
The rapper's arrest was confirmed a day prior by the New York Police Department.
Waka Flocka Flame was arrested in Queens, New York on Saturday (July 23), but has been set free today MTV has learned. The NYPD confirmed with RapFix that the "No Hands" rapper was cuffed and taken in for Criminal Possession of Marijuana. Waka, who represents Atlanta, but was born in Queens was arrested in the parking lot of the Coliseum Mall in Queens. Flocka has since been released and seemingly not charged with any crime. (RapFix)
Outside of legal woes, Flocka recently detailed his aim to quit rap in the near future.
"That's absolutely true," Flocka said, confirming his retirement tweet. "The game as a whole is fake. I'm tired of just going through what I go through and then at the end of the day, the forecast is always rain. It always rains on my world. It's so many different haters, fake smiles, fake hugs, so to prevent myself from doing anything, I'd just rather quit. I'd rather work at Walmart than rap and that's my word on God. Yup. I'll put that on Jesus Christ, I ain't lying. It's something I could never explain because people aren't living this lifestyle. So at the end of the day, people living the lifestyle can probably understand why I'm doing it. At the end of the day, I'm just doing it for my friendsand my family, get them straight and then it's over for me." (V-103)

One of Nashville's oldest meat and threes will close its doors later this month to open a new location in Green Hills. Sylvan Park Restaurant, located on the corner of 46th Avenue North and Murphy Road, will close on October 19. "It's been a hard decision to make, but it's time," said Eleanor Clay, one of the owners.Clay said she and her daughter, Lisa Greer, thought a lot about whether this move was the right thing to do.Clay cited changes in the Sylvan Park neighborhood as a big part of the decision."There are so many things that are changing," explained Clay. "We've been fighting parking for the last two years, the property is being sold. We don't know what they're going to do with it."Greer also said the building needs a lot of repairs, which they didn't want to take on.Both women cited concerns with the proposed roundabout at the 46th Ave. North and Murphy Road intersection."The way we understand, it is access to our restaurant business is going to come through the side street up here," Clay told Nashville's News 2. "That really did help us to make this decision."Sylvan Park restaurant has been in the Sylvan Park location for at least 50 years.While a lot has changed, Greer said their customer base has always been what kept them in business and kept the place special. "I think you feel like you're part of the family here and the servers probably know just about everybody by name because they've been here for so long," said Greer.Lisa Roberts has been a server at the restaurant for 20 years, and her mother did the same thing before her for 35 years."They actually just needed some fill in help, and I ended up just doing it," said Lisa about how she landed the job. "It's pretty special. There's a lot of memories."Clay and Greer said their employees will move with them to the new location, and they hope their customers will too."Even though it's sad for us, we still have to be positive," said Clay. "We're going to a new place, a new venture and hopefully, our customers will come with us."Employees hope to have the new restaurant, located at 2209 Abbott Martin Road, open by the end of the month.Sylvan Park Restaurant has three other Middle Tennessee locations at 2330 Franklin Pike, 2278 Lebanon Pike and 5814 Nolensville Pike. None of those will be affected by the move.

The bizarre creature caught on camera!
One of our brave testers was playing ilomilo yesterday when he, all of a sudden ran into a strange creature seemingly made entirely out of meat! Frightened but fascinated he managed to snap a photo of the terrifying but magnificent beast as it was "gracefully wall-jumping around the level" before disappearing in the distance!
What was that creature? Some kind of meat-alien from space? A genetic pork experiment gone horribly wrong? We'll never know! But there are rumors of it roaming free among us on XBOX live Arcade! Aaaargh!

Sidewalk Rage Could Just be Due to Impatience
Sidewalk Rage exists, researchers say.
The condition occurs when people get annoyed by those clogging up streets and walking slowly in front of them. In major walking cities, like New York, San Francisco and even Washington D.C., getting angry while walking is just as real as road rage.
Many researchers are now studying the concept, and one has even developed a Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome Scale to measure how people express their fury.
Believe it or not, there are scientists who study "sidewalk rage," and one has even come up with a 15-question Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome Scale to quantify the problem.
So ask yourself, honestly, if you regularly engage in this sampling of bad pedestrian behaviors, adapted from Dr. Leon James' full list:
1. Have denigrating thoughts about other pedestrians.
2. Act in a hostile manner (staring, presenting a mean face, moving faster or closer than expected).
3. Fail to yield to another pedestrian when it's the polite thing to do.
4. Walk by a slower moving pedestrian and cut back too soon.
5. Mutter at other pedestrians.
Take the test and tell us do you think you have sidewalk rage?

Cleveland knows how to tank
In a game against Detroit (which entered at 22-38), the short-handed Cavs fell behind by as much as 50 points (100-50 in the 3rd). Omri Casspi had the best +/- among Cleveland starters at -38. Sacramento is currently tied with Cleveland for fourth fewest wins in the league. It's going to be tough to out-tank these guys.

EL@M Director, Edward B. Foley, publishes op-ed on Minnesota recounts
Professor Edward B. Foley, Director of Election Law @ Moritz, has published this editorial in The Star Tribune on recounts in Minnesota. He describes the gubernatorial recount of 1962 and the cooperation between the candidates that led to a fair recount process that was accepted by the public. He holds this up as an example to be followed in today's recount of the race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman for Senate. Should the result of the current recount process not be perceived as fair and neutral by the campaigns and the public, Professor Foley recommends a similar process to that used in 1962 where a three-judge panel, two of whom would be chosen by the two campaigns and the last of whom would be chosen by the first two judges, would determine the outcome of the race. A hypothetical exercise recently undertaken by EL@M, the Election Court, was based on this model of neutrality.
