Mad Men
Returns in 2015 for the Final Episodes
Q&A – Mental Health Consultant Hilary Jacobs Hendel
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, Hilary Jacobs Hendel knows all about people's inner demons. That's why Matthew Weiner tapped her to offer psychological consulting for Mad Men.
Q: What was Matthew Weiner looking for from you as a consultant?
A: Mostly in the first season, he needed advice on the credibility of the scenes with the psychiatrist. He wants everything to be authentic, so we would talk about the characters to make sure that it made sense why Betty was having a certain symptoms, like with her hands feeling numb. I would walk through what a possible history might be for her. And then he would also just want the dialogue to be accurate — he'd send me the script to check what the psychiatrist was saying and how he was reacting.
Q: What's going on with Betty's psychiatrist? He never talks.
A: Well that's how it was back in 1960. Freudian analysis was pretty much the only thing there was. Back then an analyst would say very little with the idea of being a blank slate, as neutral as possible so that anything that emerged in the treatment, anything that the patient brought in, was really from themselves.
Q: How do you treat a patient you don't speak to?

Introducing The Mad Men Scrapbook
Sometimes the simplest objects can be loaded with complex meaning: a Valentine's Day card from your daughter, an inscribed book of poetry, your basic keepsake… These humble mementos carry great value despite their low market value. Periodically, the Mad Men blog will spotlight just such type of objects from the previous weeks' episodes. Click through the Mad Men Scrapbook to see the select objects from Episode 1: "For Those Who Think Young."
The Mad Men Fashion File – Betty's Daughter One-ups Peggy and Joan
This weekly look at the fashion of Mad Men is written by Faran Krentcil, the founder of Fashionista.com who currently works at Nylon and Page Six Magazine. Faran promises to try and use a photo of Joan in every post.
I love watching Mad Men for its shard-sharp writing, its class warfare, its trapped characters, and its flagrant use of cigarettes. But the truth is, I can also watch with the sound off and The Stones playing. Why? Because I'm totally and completely obsessed with the clothes.
This season starts, quite literally, on its ass.
The first shot is Joan's "Valentine heart" of a booty, swathed in red satin and swaying dangerously close to the camera. From a fashion standpoint, the effect was a sewn-up stun gun — we don't get many curves on runways these days, and this butt in this dress was unreal. Actually, maybe it was a little too real, but either way — incredible. I'd be lying if I said your bottom could look that good without genetics and/or a personal trainer, but there are ways to fake it:

1960s Handbook – Xerox 914
The 1960s Handbook takes a closer look at the cultural references that appear in each week's episode of Mad Men.
Thanks to Chester Carlson, office life got a whole lot easier in the 1960s. He's the man behind the first ever automatic, plain paper, office copier: The Xerox 914.
Today, the 914 is an artifact in the Smithsonian but in 1962 it represented a revolution in office work. When you recall previous duplication methods, it's not surprising that "Xerox "became synonymous with "copy." Care to mix chemicals before you make a copy? That's what users of the old Contura had to do. Perhaps you had time to wait for your copies to dry — that was another problem with certain duplication methods.
Season 2 Episode 1 Trivia Quiz

Bonus Question: In 1962, what soda used the following slogan: For those who think young
1960s Handbook – The Savoy-Plaza Hotel
The 1960s Handbook takes a closer look at the cultural references that appear in each week's episode of Mad Men.
Bookending the southeast corner of Central Park, the Savoy-Plaza was an architectural tour de force rising 33 stories above the ground and housing nearly one thousand rooms. Its masculine, geometric design embodied Art Deco's marriage between man and machine, featuring cubist buttresses, arched entrances, and a Tudoresque slant roof with twin chimneys. In its heyday, the Savoy-Plaza was considered a triumph of 1920s prosperity; it weathered the financial hardships of the Great Depression, and within four years of its completion, was joined by two taller, lither hotel counterparts, the Sherry-Netherlands and The Pierre.
1960s Handbook – Jackie Kennedy's White House Tour
The 1960s Handbook takes a closer look at the cultural references that appear in each week's episode of Mad Men.
Jacqueline Kennedy's Valentine's Day tour of the newly-restored White House was a major media event in 1962, drawing 56 million viewers and earning the First Lady an honorary Emmy. The one-hour broadcast of A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy aired on all three major networks and was the "first primetime documentary to explicitly court a female audience," according to Professor Michael Curtin of the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Online Chat With Mad Men Creator Matthew Weiner
Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner answered fan questions after the Season 2 premiere on this Sunday night. Read the full transcript below.
10:53:02 PM – Ron Johnson of New York, NY: Which Mad Men character do you identify with the most? Meaning, which character is most autobiographical?
10:59:01 PM – Matthew Weiner: I like to think that they are all fragments of my personality, but in the end, I'm probably most like Peggy. Although I wish I was Don. I'm perennially the new girl, I'm a pretty earnest person always shocked by bad behavior. But Don is all of our ids, I think. I have a lot in common with him, but I think I wish that I could live with indulging my needs. And I envy his confidence.
11:02:30 PM – Ashley: What is the most ridiculous claim or prediction you've heard about the series?
11:03:12 PM – Matthew Weiner: Wow. I heard a prediction that Don was Jewish. Although, thematically, I understand it. I set Jews up through Rachel Menken as being outsiders and somewhat existential. And I spent a lot of time worrying as Season 1 unfolded, "Did I ever say he wasn't Jewish?" But in the end, his role is much more complex than simply hiding his religion. I think that's the most ridiculous thing. Plotwise, I don't know.
11:04:44 PM – Holly Brockman: Who are your favorite authors and which ones have heavily influenced your work?
11:05:52 PM – Matthew Weiner: I like a variety of writers in different form. Certainly, John Cheever has been very influential. Arthur Miller, JD Salinger. Why? Because they have an incredible interest in humanity and how we react to challenges, disappointments, and family. The literature referenced in the show gives a great reference to the small moments in life that become huge after they pass. Stories become less about the world in a general sense and more about the individuals that we surround ourselves with. I try and live in that world of social rules being broken and twisted for our individual dream.

The events this week in Boston remind us how the threat of terrorism has become a frightening but common part of our daily lives - one that takes an emotional toll.
Televisions in a sports bar are rarely turned to news, but Friday at Sam's in Hillsboro Village didn't mean cheering on the Red Sox or Bruins.
Nels Howalt said watching the bombings and manhunt unfold on live TV has filled his daily life with suspicion.
"It's made everyone more aware of surroundings and what's around them. 'That guy's carrying a backpack - where's he from?' Now, these are all things you're gonna think about," Howalt said.
At another table, a group of grad students cope differently. They are part of the generation of young Americans for whom terrorism at home began at an early age.
It's difficult to shock those who watched 9/11 before they were teenagers.
"We do feel bad and react to things in very fleeting moments. I feel like we care but have to go on living our lives as well," said Fred O'Neal.
"We look to the future for what's next and expect bad things are going to happen, but we know - as a country - we know we'll overcome it and be better," said Brittany Adams.
Vanderbilt Psychologist Dr. Vickie Woosley, a former FBI agent, said people who feel overwhelmed by what they see on TV and read online can cope by doing something to help someone else.
"Helping donate blood, sign up for races to show that they're not afraid," Woosley said. "For some people that's a coping mechanism."
Woosley also said watching these events will have a greater emotional impact on people who are already dealing with a large amount of stress in their life.

A biochemist's place in space
by Amber Lucas
May 7, 2014 | 0 comments
I've always been a person who was very involved in science, specifically chemistry and biochemistry. These sciences differ from astronomy in a great deal. In biochemistry, we are looking at extremely small details. The bonds between proteins in the body, the mechanism of catalysis in different chemical reactions, the regulation of different genes in the body, etc. I was spending the majority of my time thinking on a scale that was much smaller than I was, thinking about all these processes that were occuring in my body all the time. All these processes that were so close to me, and ... more »

text: Hey all my fellow Nets fans. I had asked this question a couple of weeks ago and people were still unsure. So now with there being more events, I thought I check in again with this question. When I took the #3 train for the Jay-Z concert, I got out of the station and wound up on Pacific street I believe, 2 blocks from the arena. I was disappointed, because I wanted to come up the stairs with the arena right in my face. Does anybody know what I did wrong, and what I should do differently to get to the station in front of the arena? Thanks in advance for all your help guys!

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In the heat of earnings season, it's important to stop, look and listen, Jim Cramer reminded "Mad Money" viewers Friday as he laid out his game plan for next week's trading.
Cramer said it'll be a pleasure to finally start focusing on companies again after focusing for far too long on Cyprus and the sequester.
Monday starts the week with Citigroup (C) and Cramer said he'll be listening for how the company's new CEO is streamlining operations and reigning in their aggressive expansion plans.
On Tuesday, Cramer said he'll be listening to Coca-Cola (KO), a stock he said is just OK, along with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, and Intel (INTC). Cramer said he'd buy more J&J and would consider Intel on any weakness.Turning to Wednesday, it's Core Labs (CLB), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) and an analyst day for Gap Stores (GPS). Cramer said he's a buyer of Core Labs after it reports and is anxious to hear the outlooks for Kinder and Gap. Thursday brings Union Pacific (UNP), one of Cramer's favorite rail plays, along with Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). Cramer said he'd buy Microsoft under $27 a share as its dividend will provide a cushion at that level, but would use deep in the money calls to play Google and Chipotle. Finally on Friday, it's a big day, with General Electric (GE), another Action Alerts PLUS name, along with Honeywell (HON), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), McDonald's (MCD) and Under Armour (UA). Cramer said all of these names have been soaring but should have good stories to tell next week.
Executive Decision: Don WoodIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer once again sat down with Don Wood, president and CEO of Federal Realty Trust (FRT), a retail REIT at its 52-week high as it surged to a 94.9% occupancy rate. Federal Realty currently yields 2.6%. Wood made it clear the ups and downs of monthly retail sales don't translate into ups and downs for the retail landlord. He said almost all of his tenants are in it for the long haul with 20-year leases, and if a tenant wants to get out early it pays for the privilege. Wood said location continues to drive the company's business, and in many markets demand still exceeds supply.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the "Studio créatif" of France Telecom R&D site...in total evolution!
The "Studio créatif" of France Telecom R&D is positioned upstream of the innovation process with the mission of generating new and surprising ideas combining multi-disciplinary competencies, including those of sociologists, marketers, engineers and designers.
For the last few months, the "Studio créatif" has distinguished itself by its active participation in artistic events: exhibitions, shows and artists in residence.
Does the confrontation of researchers and artists seem incongruous to you? Well, it's just the discrepancy that this implies that interests us. Even more so as the benefit is unquestionable for the two parties. One on hand, the artists seize the opportunity to express themselves with exceptional material and technological resources. On the other, France Telecom R&D researchers observe and get inspiration from the alternate use of technologies that result from the artistic approach. The exchanges of knowledge, know-how and imagination contribute to enriching the concepts and works imagined and developed by the "Studio créatif" team. The goal is to develop a future vision of technological evolutions and anticipate new uses in private and professional life.
The result? For a start, enriching collaborations with Maurice Benayoun, Karine Saporta, Olivier Koechlin, Arnaud Pérennes, Bernard Gortais, and the Enghien Centre des Arts, which succeeded in conceiving new communication interfaces for the telecom sector, staging telecom services concepts and illustrating concepts that originated with brainstorming and study sessions:
Dip into the "Galery of the Imaginery", where surfers' fears and dreams are revealed (a sociological study), artists experiment with their fantasies about the Internet, and young people express themselves on taboo subjects. And in the plethora of preposterous and remarkable ideas of science fiction authors, try to project yourself into the future
Continue your visit in "Virtuality and Friendliness" or sensory communication, via new interfaces.

Top Five Bands Beginning With A
The first in a series of articles brings music fans a listed of recommended rock, indie, punk and metal bands to look out for and reminisce over. And what better place to start than by recommending five essential bands and artists beginning with the letter A.
This list is by no means comprehensive and represents only the tastes of the author, but I hope it will inspire you to go out in search of great artists of your own.
At The Drive-In: Perhaps the finest and most influential exponents of the hardcore/screamo scene, At The Drive-In is a truly inspirational act whose legacy continues to affect the rock scene some seven years following their split. Relationship Of Command may well be seen as their seminal work and features such hits as Cosmonaut, Invalid Litter Dept and the world-renowned One Armed Scissor, but earlier works including the Vaya EP and In/Casino/Out represent, in my opinion, the true essence of the band's unique talent.
Arctic Monkeys: In the face of my other selections, this may well seem a slight mainstream departure, yet the debut album from the Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not – is an essential recording that deserves a place in any music collection. Musicianship that seems to go underrated – in particular from drummer Matt Helders – and the wit and raw lyrics of Alex Turner have spawned a host of imitators, none of which come close to the Sheffield band.
Alice In Chains: Many of us remember the days when all things Seattle graced the radio stations and music channels, and there were certainly a great number of influential and iconic bands from that era. One of those that never seemed to achieve the recognition of the big three – Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam – were Alice In Chains. With guitarist Jerry Cantrell's dirty, heavy riffs and the nasal vocal style of the late Layne Staley combining in perfect unison, the dark and haunting Dirt remains one of the most compelling albums from the early 1990s.
Alexisonfire: Having only discover Alexisonfire a couple of years ago with the release of Crisis, I was blown away by sheer size of the sound and the excellent vocal interplay. The Canadian band have acquired a reputation for exciting, energy-packed live shows, but if you are unable to see them yourselves, simply plug in your best headphones and experience the bombastic production of the record.
Audioslave: No, they may not have been Rage Against The Machine and no, they may not have been Soundgarden, but the 'supergroup' that was Audioslave at least managed to produce a great first record. Considering the talent of the rhythm section, it was always going to need a big personality to take on the vocal duties for Audioslave. Fortunately for Tom Morello, Timmy C and Brad Wilk, the mighty voice of Soundgarden was on hand to step up to the plate. And for all the doubters the debut record, let me say one thing: it must've worked since even my mum recognises the riff to Cochise!
This provisional list was drawn up from little more than the few bands beginning with A that are currently on my iPod so I implore you to ignore any glaring omissions. As soon as I get the one with the bigger hard drive, there will doubtless be many, many more.

MOUNT SINAI, N.Y. (WPIX)—Two young brothers from Mount Sinai are listed in critical condition Wednesday after being rescued from the family pool by their older brothers, according to Suffolk County police.
Emmanuel Paul, 5, and his brother Jeffrey Paul, 2, were reportedly found floating face down in the family's pool on Peach Tree Lane about 5:35 p.m. Tuesday. Police say the boys were found by their 12-year-old brother and their 11-year-old twin brothers.
Authorities said the 12-year-old performed CPR while one of the 11-year-old brothers ran inside the home to call 911.
Shortly after the call was placed, emergency crews responded to the scene. The young boys were rushed to St. Charles Hospital and then transferred to Stony Brook University Medical Center for further treatment.
According to police, the parents, Jules and Leonee Paul, were both late returning home from work.
The couple released a statement Wednesday morning through a hospital spokeswoman, reading: "We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The boys are in the care of experts at Stony Brook, and we now ask for privacy while we focus all our energy on helping Emmanuel and Jeffrey recover."

Xbox Live Marketplace Posts Mass Effect 3 DLC Early, Spoils Plot
Posted on Tuesday, February 21 @ 15:45:26 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
There are a bunch of ways to have something spoiled for you, but in this day and age, even your very own gaming console is a threat. That's right, you'd better throw that console right out the damn window to save yourself from Mass Effect 3 spoilers.
DLC for Mass Effect 3 has been detailed on Xbox Live Marketplace, but gamers have found that the description is a bit more revealing than they'd like. THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING, NO BITCHING IN THE COMMENTS! D:<
Mass Effect 3: From Ashes allows players to "unearth lost secrets from the past" to add a member of the Mass Effect's Prothean race to Shepard's crew. Of course, attempting to purchase and download this DLC ends in errors, but it seems that previous rumors are to be confirmed, at least when it comes to digging up ancestral aliens and using them to kick Reaper ass.

Blog Tags: One Million Species
There are One Million Species in the Ocean
It is difficult to describe the ocean's vastness and variety of life, but that is exactly what some researchers have tried to do. In a study released this week, and carried out with the help of 270 taxonomists from 32 countries, researchers put the likely total for the world's marine species at a tidy million species, only a third of which are known to science. Scientists arrived at the million figure by extrapolating from the rate of discovery of new species and by projecting from sampled areas of the ocean.
Of the roughly 230,000 species that have been described there are 200,000 animal, 7,600 plants, 19,500 diatoms, kelps and red algae known as chromista, 550 protists and 1,050 fungi (the study did not include bacteria, viruses or archaea). But even those species that are known can prove amazingly elusive. Last week scientists announced that a spade-tooth beaked whale and calf that washed ashore in New Zealand were the first such animals ever seen (what was known about the animal previously had come from skull fragments).
Hundreds of thousands more species await discovery.
What is your favorite species? is it the spanish dancer, the longnose sawshark, the pineapplefish? Check out our marine wildlife encyclopedia to learn more about just some of the million species of living beings in our oceans.

Hey guys,
First time poster... I'm sure there's been a thread about this before but where would you rank Ricky in this year's draft? Let's imagine, he never declared for the draft 2 years ago and decided to come to the NBA now after 2 years with Barcelona.
I would rank him #1 in this draft. I think Cleveland definitely takes him over Irving which would have left us with Irving and no-one else? Kahn may have made lots of mistakes since he got appointed (Flynn being the most irritating one) but he's learnt from experience and I feel like he doesn't always get the credit he deserves.
Any thoughts??

A man accused of shooting and killing a Sioux City woman will be back in court on Tuesday.
The attorney for Fernando Jaimes-Martinez, 33, wants to withdraw himself from the case citing "irreconcilable differences that have destroyed the attorney/client relationship."
Jaimes-Martinez is charged with first degree murder, willful injury and intimidation with a dangerous weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
27-year old Karla Gonzalez died in September of 2012 after being hit in the head by a bullet. Police say Martinez fired randomly into a crowd of people after a disturbance at 1602 Villa Avenue in Sioux City.
Four other people were stabbed before the shooting, but no other charges have been filed in this case.
A plea and sentencing hearing for Jaimes-Martinez is set for February 11th.

A Charlottesville nonprofit is putting hundreds of people with disabilities to work every day. Its clients have jobs in the community and even run a popular bakery.
WorkSource Enterprises considers itself Charlottesville's best-kept secret. It's opening its headquarters this week for a series of "friend-raisers" to show how its clients are gaining new experiences every day on the job.
For 10 years, Marie Wills has worked in the bakery at BreadWorks, daily.
"Five days is enough for me, but I love it," Wills said.
Behind the BreadWorks counter, Crystal Hensley wraps up handmade sandwiches for the lunch rush. She and Wills are getting on-the-job training in the bakery and deli operated by WorkSource.
"I've got good friends here, and I love everybody working here. They make my day and help me," Hensley said.
WorkSource is opening its offices for a series of what it calls "friend-raisers," inviting employers and potential donors to learn more about its job in the community. The nonprofit places 350 disabled or welfare-to-work clients in jobs and training programs each year.
"I don't think people in general have a good awareness of the abilities of people who happen to have disabilities," said Chuck McElroy, president of WorkSource Enterprises.
WorkSource clients brought in more than $1.25 million in income last year.
"As wages are generated, social entitlements go down as well. So, it's a win-win for the client, win-win for the community, and especially a real bonus for employers," McElroy said.
Ed Zizulka earns his paycheck as a custodian at Tandem Friends School.
"Always wanted to work with kids, but could never really do it," Zizulka said.
A disability got in his way of becoming a teacher, but WorkSource has offered him opportunity.
"It's changed my life," Zizulka said. "I enjoy what I'm doing; I enjoy what I do here."
After five years on the job, he has no plans to take a break from the hard work.
WorkSource will host two more friend-raisers Tuesday at its Carlton Avenue headquarters: one at noon and one at 5:30 p.m.

Cornell, Wisconsin (WXOW) - All three people in a Cornell Ambulance were injured when it crashed early Tuesday morning.
The Chippewa County Sheriff's Office says that during the freezing rain event that covered most of the Chippewa Valley this morning, at around 7 a.m. the Cornell Ambulance responded to a EMS call in the City of Cornell for a report of a patient having chest pain.
The Cornell Ambulance had loaded the patient and began their transport to St. Joseph's Hospital in Chippewa Falls. As the ambulance approached the intersection of Baribeua Road and Johnson Road the ambulance slid down the hill and off the roadway striking a number of trees.
The driver of the ambulance, the EMT treating the patient in the rear of the ambulance as well as the patient suffered injury in the crash. Paramedic units from the City of Chippewa Falls, Chippewa Fire District and an ambulance from Cadott responded to the scene.
It is believed no injuries are life threatening to any of the people involved.

Bees never sleep.
All night long the demonstration hive is buzzing. And in the daytime, there are a lot of Lindsay Wildlife Museum human visitors buzzing around the exhibit.
"On the first day the bees moved in (Aug. 14), a young girl spent the better part of her afternoon watching and talking to the bees as her grandmother patiently sat nearby," said Michele Setter, director of wildlife encounters at Lindsay.
The custom-built Plexiglas hive is the newest exhibit — in the exhibit hall near the reptile center — at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. Later in the fall, the museum will have more formal programming to teach the public about the community life of the hive.
For now, the public might be able to corner a beekeeper volunteer looking after the special hive, such as Mike Stephanos of Walnut Creek, vice president of community education for the Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association (about 400 members, one of the largest such associations in the country). There's also an exhibit sign on the wall with some basic information about bees.
The Plexiglas exhibit is only one frame thick (as opposed to a standard beekeepers hive that might be 10 frames thick) so that the public can observe the queen laying eggs and the field bees coming in with bulging sacs of nectar on their legs. The one-frame-thick hive at Lindsay has 5,000 to 7,000 bees, while a standard, thicker hive can run from 20,000 to 80,000 bees, Stephanos said.
'Almost all ovary'
The biggest bee, the queen ("she's almost all ovary," said Stephanos) is dotted with a white splotch of paint to make her easy to spot. The queen moves from cell to cell of the hive, laying up to 1,500 to 3,000 eggs a week in peak season. There's a 21-day gestation period and the worker bees live six to eight weeks (queens live for three to five years). The older bees teach the newborns how to clean the hive, feed other bees and remove waste from the hive. And the humans at Lindsay Wildlife Museum can watch all this through Plexiglas.
The three-foot-high frame, encased in two layers of Plexiglas, was custom-built by TAP Plastics. It is connected to the outside through a Plexi tube that runs through a hole drilled in the Lindsay wall. The field bees fly off to the gardens in the Larkey neighborhood surrounding the museum and bring back nectar and pollen to the hive. The Plexiglas frame sits on a wooden pedestal with a cabinet, so that the hive rises to the eye level of a 12-year-old.
The club raised about $3,000 to create the exhibit, according to a feature in the Contra Costa Times.
These are European honeybees. They coexist nicely with native bees — California is home to 1,600 species of bees, Setter said.
The bees pollinate whatever is blooming. Right now, that's lavender, star thistle, milkweed, fennel, morning glory and vetch, Stephanos said.
"The heroes of the hive are worker bees," said Stephanos
The museum and the beekeepers association are both interested in public education, and thus came about this collaboration. The Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association also helps members of the public complaining about bees swarming in their backyards. Association volunteers will arrange to come and relocate the bees. "There's a misconception that the swarm is aggressive," said Stephanos. "It's just the hive relocating."
Stephanos has been beekeeping for 16 years. He went from four to eight to 50 to more than 200 hives. His hives span the Bay Area from Berkeley to the base of Mount Diablo, from Benicia to Livermore.
"Beekeeping is the new yoga," said Stephanos. "Everybody wants to do it."
Watch Bees at Work at Lindsay Museum
Wildlife museum in conjunction with Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association establishes Plexiglas hive to watch honeybees do their thing.

1,000 games. In NHL terms, that's just a little over 12 82-game seasons. How many people do you know that have been at the same employer for more than 12 years -- successfully and fairly happily to boot?
With all due respect to Jamie Langenbrunner, who hit the 1,000 game mark yesterday as well, it's a bit shocking to think a guy like Patrick Marleau played in his 1,000th game, all as a San Jose Shark. The 1997 #2 draft pick, Marleau's career arc seems to have defined the Sharks, even when he hasn't. Consider when he first broke in as a gawky 18-year-old, the team itself was devoid of talent and desperately needed goals from anyone not named Owen Nolan. With ball-busting new coach Darryl Sutter in town to try and whip this meandering bunch of wet-behind-the-ears kids and not-so-wily veterans into shape, the Sharks were past the "We're just happy to be here" phase and needed an identity.
Over those first few seasons, Marleau -- like the Sharks -- flashed occasional moments of greatness, his share of face-palming groans, and plenty of growing pains on his way to becoming a respectable NHL player. The team itself became known more for Owen Nolan's gritty play and Darryl Sutter's even grittier scowl. And when enough talent finally filled out the roster in the early 2000s with an emerging Marleau and Marco Sturm flanking Nolan, Vincent Damphousse, and Teemu Selanne, the Sharks once again followed Marleau's career path -- good, but not great, and never seemingly able to tap consistently into all that skill to get to the promised land.
During the Ron Wilson era, Marleau was once again just a bit left of the spotlight. In 03-04, he captained a fairly no-name team (Nils Ekman? Alyn McCauley? Wayne Primeau?) to the Western Conference Final, and following the NHL lockout, media focus spent much more time on Joe Thornton (and for some time, Jonathan Cheechoo). Even after All-Star nominations and stints for Team Canada, Marleau just quietly did his job, and only a few people really seemed to notice.
Was this because of the west-coast coverage that was inherent with being a career Shark? Or just part of the quiet, controlled personality he presented to the media? In a parallel universe, Marleau played 1,000 games in the Eastern Conference, perhaps even for a media-hungry Canadian team; I'd love to jump through a wormhole and see if that Marleau reacted to the spotlight under different circumstances or if he maintained the same even-keeled persona that San Jose has seen for more than a decade.
In some ways, Marleau's style of game is similar to this person. Blessed with immense speed, a hard shot, and better playmaking skills than most people give him credit for, Marleau's highlight reel doesn't include gaudy Alex Ovechkin-esque moves. And he certainly can't match the thread-the-needle passes of teammate Joe Thornton, nor does he create check-your-skates dekes that someone like Pavel Datsyuk can do. No, most of Marleau's goals are sharp but not stunning, a combination of the tools he brings but never oozing with did-you-see-that? talent. They're consistent, effective, with just a touch of flash -- kind of like Marleau himself. That's not to mention how he's gradually rounded out his game, transforming from a soft one-dimensional speedster to someone who has become one of San Jose's go-to penalty killers over the past few years, along with being strong at face-offs.
Patrick Marleau's 1,000 career games come with some fairly gaudy numbers despite the slow start to his career, including 338 goals. Should he have a strong finish to this season and play to expectations next season, there's a slight chance he may hit 400 goals in the 2011-12 campaign; if not then, he'll certainly achieve that milestone the year after. In fact, if the durable, speedy forward plays long enough, 500 goals is a possibility. Had the NHL lockout not occurred, this achievement would be inevitable.
That nugget in itself is enough to make many NHL pundits take a step back. Patrick Marleau and 500 goals? And yet, that seems to be the way his entire career has gone -- it's been stellar, but always in the shadow of someone else, be it Owen Nolan or Joe Thornton. Never exactly the most vocal person, Marleau's under-the-radar career has hampered his reputation at times, most notably during his stint as Sharks captain, but his quiet consistency just kept plugging away, a slow career ramp-up to cruising speed that potted 25+ goals season after season. Even in this year's sub-par campaign, Marleau should still eclipse the 30-goal mark, and depending on how things go, approach 35-40 if he gets on a hot streak.
Now 31, Marleau should still have a few seasons of strong productivity left, followed by the inevitable tailing off that so many aging star players go through. At best, he'll probably finish up with around 500 goals and 600 assists over 1,500 games. Those are some pretty hefty numbers for a career, and yet when it's all said and done, I'm guessing there will be plenty of people who won't realize quite how many accomplishments Marleau's put up. That's what happens when you have a great stats and great skill but are always just in the shadow of someone or something else, be it a teammate or the team itself. And yet, given what we know of Marleau's quiet, guarded persona, I'm guessing he's ok with that.

Many people enjoy the company of pets. For example, according to the Humane Society of the United States, 35% of Americans own at least one dog, with another 33% owning at least one cat. While most pet owners provide excellent care to one or two animals at most, for some people, the desire to keep animals as pets crosses the line into a compulsive behavior called animal hoarding. Let's explore the basics of animal hoarding.
What is Animal Hoarding?
Animal hoarding is characterized by the following:
- obsessive collecting of animals
- an inability to provide minimal standards of care for these animals
- a failure to recognize that one is not able to provide minimal standards of care
Research has demonstrated that on average, animal hoarders usually have around 40 animals in the house at any given time, but that this number can be as high as 100 or more. Unlike an animal shelter, which has the proper staff and facility to house this number of animals, the lack of care, crowded conditions and general squalor in an animal hoarders home frequently leads to malnutrition, illness and death of the animals.
In addition to an inability to care for the animals in the home, people who hoard animals are often unable to take care of themselves. As well, the homes of animal hoarders are often eventually destroyed by the accumulation of animal feces and infestation by insects.
Studies of compulsive hoarding indicate that animal hoarding is fairly common. As many as 33% of cases of compulsive hoarding are thought to involve animals. Importantly, there is some data to suggest that animal hoarding is on the rise.
Who is Affected by Animal Hoarding?
Animal hoarders are usually middle aged or older, and the vast majority of cases of animal hoarding involve women. Many people who hoard animals are also affected by mood and anxiety disorders, such as OCD as well as personality disorders.
Although there are exceptions, the typical animal hoarder is unmarried, lives alone, and has few, if any, friends. This is perhaps unsurprising, as many animal hoarders form intense "human to human" relationships between themselves and their animals that may take precedence over actual people. Animal hoarders build their collections by scouring classified ads in the newspaper, visiting animal adoption centers, or through uncontrolled breeding within their own home.
Very little research has been carried out to explain the causes of animal hoarding; however, various theories have been proposed. One theory is that the hoarder may have difficulties with human attachment. It is not uncommon for hoarders to have had early experiences of neglect and abuse. There is some evidence that animal hoarding may begin after the experience of a loss or death of a loved one. It has been speculated that the animals may act, in effect, as substitutes for the individual who has been lost or for other relationships.
Animal Hoarding Often Involves a Significant Lack of Insight
Interestingly, despite the terrible living conditions provided for the animals, many animal hoarders are convinced that they are the only ones who can properly care for the animals and do not want to relinquish care and control of the animals under any circumstances. Moreover, animal hoarders often become vigorously defensive and dismissive when objective and obvious consequences of their poor animal care are pointed out, such as starvation, illness, or disease.
A significant health risk to both the animal hoarder, as well as the animals living in the home, is the frequent refusal of animal hoarders to acknowledge the death of an animal in the home. This often leads to failure to discard the bodies of animals that have died or to store carcasses. Of course, this often very quickly leads to unsanitary conditions and insect infestations in the home that are a danger to all of the residents -– animal and human alike.
Can Animal Hoarding be Treated?
Like other forms of compulsive hoarding, animal hoarding appears to be very difficult to treat. Left on its own, animal hoarding typically becomes progressively worse until complaints by neighbors or family results in legal action being taken. Little to no research has focused on the medical and psychological treatment of animal hoarding.
As in compulsive hoarding related to objects, a profound lack of insight may reflect a major barrier to the animal hoarder benefiting from treatment –- it is very difficult to generate motivation for treatment when the hoarder does not perceive there to be any problem, despite a wealth of objective evidence. Given the growing problem of animal hoarding, more research is needed to discover how to best treat this serious form of mental illness.

I caught up with Jean Monnier to get the inside scoop on his and Guillaume's growing accessories empire…
LPA: Tell me a little about your professional background. Where did you grow up and study and how did you get into fashion retail?
JM: I grew up in Paris and studied business at the French school HEC. I then started to work for eyewear maker Alain Mikli in New York for 2 years before joining consulting firm McKinsey and Cie in Paris. After that, I joined Danone, the yoghourt company where I worked for 7 years. I ended CEO of the Tunisian subs. In 2000 I joined Auchan to create their Internet division (same as Tesco or Ocado). I ran their business for 10 years ending with about 800 employees (auchandirect.fr ; grosbill.com).
LPA: Your brother Guillaume previously held a high level position at Dior while, as you explained, you created and developed the e-commerce infrastructure for the vast French retailer, Auchan. What prompted you to launch Monnier Frères rather than staying at these long-established, prestigious companies?
JM: Because we wanted to run our own business mixing our competencies. And in the luxury market, it is just the beginning so it's a great opportunity to start from scratch.
LPA: Why did you decide to sell only accessories? Could you ever see Monnier Frères stocking clothing too?
JM: The focus on women's accessories is our twist vs Net-A-Porter… and, as a specialist, we aim at offering the largest and smartest range of products. Eventually we may sell other things but for the foreseeable future it is just accessories.
LPA: As a high fashion e-tailer, Monnier Frères no doubt requires a high level of expertise in both the luxury and internet sectors in order to operate efficiently. How do you balance these two aspects of the business?
JM: My brother takes the buying part of our business where I take the selling responsibility including all marketing tools
LPA: According to your most recent press release, you and Guillaume have designed every aspect of Monnier Frères right down to the brands you sell. How do you choose which products to stock each season? Do you have an in-house buying team?
JM: Yes we have an in house buying team which actually takes full responsibility on the assortments
LPA: Do you feel that the rise of online shopping has resulted in brands to re-examining or altering their attitude towards bricks and mortar? Could you ever imagine e-commerce replacing more traditional retail models entirely?
JM: No, we see Internet as a complementary channel of distribution and a great place to advertise products for the brands. Stores will survive of course!
LPA: You and Guillaume both spent over a decade honing your skills in your respective areas of expertise before deciding to set up Monnier Frères. Do you think you could have done so successfully without having had such extensive and relevant experience beforehand?
JM: Well I am sure it helped to build credibility with investors and brands!
LPA: What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs hoping or planning to launch their own company?
JM: When you are ready, go for it and take your chance! Good luck!
Love Ella. X

Director: Amit Kumar | Producer: Video Volunteers Produced In: 2010 Synopsis: In the state of Haryana, Dalit communities (including the correspondent filming this video) are forbidden to enter temples. In Barot village, the temple allows only the villagers who belong to upper castes to worship, though most of the villagers belong to the Dalit community. The Constitution of India ensures equal rights for all citizens. This includes the right to "opt, embrace and practice any religion." However, in Barot the Dalits have always been denied this right. They have been treated as "dirty" and asked by both the upper caste and the temple priest to keep away from the temple. Amit says that though the older generation have accepted this denial of rights as fate, youth in his community are angry about being treated as untouchables. Amit shot this video to share with viewers the humiliation he is made to feel every day for being a "Dalit youth."

The military unit of Hamas has broken ties with former ally Syrian President Bashar Assad and has begun training members of the opposition's Free Syrian Army in Damascus, The Times of London reported on Friday.
Anonymous diplomatic sources told the Times that members of the Izzadin Kassam Brigades were training Free Syrian Army units in the rebel-held neighborhoods of Yalda, Jaramana and Babbila in the Syrian capital.
"The Kassam Brigades have been training units very close to Damascus. These are specialists.
They are really good," a Western diplomat with contacts in both the Assad regime and the Syrian opposition told the London daily newspaper.
According to the Times, Hamas has been helping the rebels in digging a tunnel beneath Damascus in preparation for an attack on the city, a skill that Hamas has honed by constructing tunnels to smuggle supplies from Egypt into the Gaza Strip.
A Palestinian source from Lebanon's Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp reportedly said that Hamas's aid to the rebels is common knowledge, however Hamas officials have denied any affiliation with Syrian rebels.
"It's a false thing. There are no members of Izzadin Kassam or any militant members of Hamas in Syria... We don't interfere in the internal problems of Syria. Our members there are normal civilians, Syrian Palestinians, who live with their families there.
From the beginning of what has happened in Syria we rejected as a movement any involvement of any Palestinian in the current events in Syria," the Times quoted Osama Hamdan, a leading Hamas official based in Lebanon as saying.
As the initially peaceful uprising in Syria turned into an armed conflict, Khaled Mashaal, Hamas's top political leader, quietly left Damascus in February last year and relocated to Qatar, reported the Times. That same month, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh allegedly declared the movement's support for the Syrian opposition.
Syrian state-run media accused Mashaal of being "ungrateful and treacherous."
German paper Der Spiegel and British daily The Guardian reported in March that the Syrian rebels were also receiving training from Americans in Jordan. The training focused on use of anti-tank weaponry. It was unclear whether the report meant the American army or members of private firms. The reports stated British and French instructors and Jordanian intelligence services were also involved in the training.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the Syrian government was sending members of its irregular militias for guerrilla combat training at a secret base in Iran in a move to bolster its armed forces drained by two years of fighting and defections.
The discreet program has been described as an open secret in some areas loyal to Assad, who is trying to crush a revolt against his family's four-decade hold on power.
Iranian officials have repeatedly denied military involvement in the Syrian conflict, saying they have only provided humanitarian aid and political support for Assad.Reuters contributed to this report.
