News : Ponting to play on in Test cricket
Daniel Brettig : The facts of Ponting's ODI life
Players/Officials: Ricky Ponting
Teams: Australia
Ricky Ponting called a press conference on Tuesday because he wanted a "bit of closure". Others seeking closure might take to drink or to walking the dog round and round the block. To us a press conference seems weird.
It's normal to someone living the non-normal life of extreme celebrity. Michael Jackson signed his first Steeltown Records deal aged nine. Ponting struck his first Kookaburra bat contract at 12. Don't stop 'til you get enough has become a mantra-verging-on-crusade for Ponting, now 37. For half those years the big and little developments in his life and career have been accompanied by press conferences.
Get picked in the team. Hold a press conference. Get drunk and king-hit in the Bourbon & Beefsteak Bar and endanger spot in the team. Hold a press conference. So after Monday, when he was dropped from the one-day side, Tuesday's press conference felt like second nature. No opening statement began proceedings. Instead a journalist, Ken from Channel 9, was asked to ask a question. Ponting said he holds no bitterness and he absolutely understands the selectors' viewpoint and he's not retiring. "I still don't see a finish line." Seventeen minutes of this flew by before another journalist, Jim from Channel 7, said: so why hold a press conference? Ponting wanted people to know his feelings and plans, he explained. And he wanted that "bit of closure".
Earlier it had occurred to him, perhaps in front of the mirror - for he arrived fresh-shaved, his hair waxed (or gelled) slick, wearing a white shirt (white makes his sun-browned arms and face glow handsome) buttoned high - that anticlimax lay in store and some press conference-goers and watchers might be miffed. After all, four TV channels were going live to air with this presser. By the time he mentioned his "bit of closure", two of the more ratings-obsessed channels - miffed, as envisaged - had already broken back to regular programming.
That it took 17 minutes for a journalist to voice the blowfly-in-our-faces question - why have you asked us here? - might seem odd. It isn't. Cricket press conferences are exercises in loosely structured idiocy. Non-specialist reporters do a lot of the asking. Their questions come wrapped in cliché and are faithful approximations of the pre-hatched "angles" devised by or for the numpties back in the office. More artful writers keep mouths mostly shut and their own angles private. Often they skip the press conference. Or they'll go to discern a game's trajectory - something (and nothing) can be gained from peering at Ponting's grizzled features on day one, then again on the third evening - or to spy a glimmer of the human behind the cricketer. The players' managers are awake to this. They school their stars to rebut cliché with cliché. A walls-closing-in anteroom of anti-thinking - that's what we're left squirming in.
It is possible Ponting likes these press conferences. Just as plausibly, he doesn't know enough to know if he likes them or not, because he's known nothing else.
After the September 11 attacks and killings of 2001, American historian Edward Linenthal wrote: "I never, ever will use the word 'closure' again, except to talk about it in angry ways, because there is no such thing. I think it's a horrific pop-psychology term. There are events to be endured, not resolved…"
|It is possible Ponting likes these press conferences. Just as plausibly, he doesn't know enough to know if he likes them or not, because he's known nothing else
Will Ponting be feeling closure today? Quite likely: yes. A pro sportsman, especially a batsman, for whom one mistake and you're dust is the law, strains to cotton-wool anxieties, muffle them, keep himself uncluttered. Maybe it is not "closure" Ponting is experiencing - more, "suspended remorse". It might catch up with him one day. When Ponting was 14 and in Launceston, radio commentator Neville Oliver told a local Examiner reporter he knew of this super-powered 14-year-old - "but don't write anything about him yet, it's too much pressure". The real pressure might hit Ponting the day that he no longer can call press conferences.
For now, TV is what he knows and TV is how we know him. Our children's children will learn of Ponting the same way, via internet footage. Once, cricket-doting boys read of men like Trumper's faraway deeds in long-ago books. Where the sentences stopped, imagination kicked in. Modern cricket publishing being what it is, there are ten Ponting books and none sketch stirring word pictures. But there is YouTube.
No one knows which way internet copyright restrictions will lead us. Space, though, is unlimited. The general drift seems clear: more, more, more.
To be found on YouTube are two Ponting moments that define him for me: young and goateed, at the Gabba, hooking Walsh and Ambrose off his rib cage; then older, in Cardiff, sticking with his spinner Hauritz and part-timer North in a sun-sinking half-hour that blew the 2009 Ashes. They define him because they are defining. Here is the batsman he would become, and the captain he painfully was.
But YouTube has no section marked "defining", and none marked "tat", just a flickering haze of Ponting sixes and fours and bats raised at crowds and kisses blown to Rianna. If we see a boat-builder's boats sail smoothly cross choppy seas, do we kid ourselves we know the boat-builder?
The more our eyes have to look at, the less we use imagination, and the littler it is that we know.
We don't know Ricky, any more than he knows us, the millions he invited to sit in on his psychologist's appointment last Tuesday.

SALT SOLUTION CONTACT ACTIVATOR AND SCRIBER FOR ELECTROPLATING ON A CONTINUOUS FILM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME Filed June 29, 1962 V/III/l/I/I/I IIIIIIIllntllvllllllllllllll G R D O U l J N E s V N N I H 0 J ATTORNEY United States Patent M 3,261,770 SALT SOLUTION CONTACT ACTIVATOR AND SQRHEER FOR ELECTROPLATHNG ON A CON- gENUQUS FILM AND METHOD OF USING THE AME John S. Judge, Wappingers Falls, N.Y., assignor to International Business Machines Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed June 29, 1962, Ser. No. 206,307 2 Claims. (Cl. 20428) This invention relates to means for conveying electric current to the conducting surface of a moving web to electroplate it.
The contact provided by this invention is particularly useful in the manufacture of plated magnetic tape for conveying current to a tape web having a very thin and highly resistive conducting surface. Such web may comprise a conductive surface which is a metal film applied to a plastic carrier or substrate, such as a Mylar carrier, by chemically plating (electrolessly plating) the surface of the plastic carrier after pretreating it preferably in the manner described in US. patent application Serial No. 138,609, filed September 18, 1961, now Patent No. 3,142,581, or Serial No. 153,187, filed November 17, 1961, now Patent No. 3,142,582, both of which are assigned to the assignee of the present application. Since the pretreating and chemical plating operations are done prior to applying the present invention, they are not disclosed in detail herein. The electrolessly plated layer provides a means for conducting current for .a subsequent electroplating operation on the tape and also provides adh'esion for the final electroplated surface to the plastic carrier.
A final electroplated surface with properties for magnetic recording is applied to the electroless metal surface by electroplating a magnetic film such as cobalt or cobaltnickel upon the electroless surface. A controlled electroplated surface can present very desirable magnetic recording properties, and it can withstand abrasion to the point or providing .a very long wearing surface in spite of frequent starting, stopping and rubbing with respect to a read/write head in a magnetic tape transport.
It is exceedingly important that the final electroplated surface be substantially flawless in order to avoid the possibility of recording errors on the magnetic surface. Therefore, rough, burned, significant pinhole areas, or other imperfections cannot be tolerated on the electroplated surface. When a dry-tape contact is used, such as the common roll contact, it is essential that the tape surface to be plated be completely cleaned and dried after the wet electroless plating. Otherwise undesirable results may occur such as irregular deformation of the roll surface due to deplating of the electroless metal to the roll surface that can create high spots, which can destroy the uniformity of electric current distribution after relatively short usage, and which can adversely affect the resultant magnetic tape properties. Thus with the prior dry-type contact, it is essential to clean and dry the surface to be plated prior to applying it to the dry-type contact, in order to obtain maximum contact life and to avoid adverse effects to a tape surface. An intervening drying operation slows down the production rate of tape manu facturing, and/or increases production costs by requiring expensive drying equipment.
It is, accordingly, an object of this invention to provide a plating contact which can directly convey current to a Wet surface to be electroplated in a subsequent plating bath. Hence no preliminary drying step is needed when the invention is used.
With the wet-type contact of this invention, a uniform contacted surface is provided over the engaged area, and a uniform amount of very slight deplating occurs over 3,261,770 Patented July 19, 1966 the electroless surface of the tape which cleans the surface for subsequent electroplating. This can eliminate the preliminary step of cleaning and activating the surface to be plated.
It is thus a further object of this invention to provide a contact which not only conveys electric current to a metallic surface to be plated, but simultaneously cleans and activates the surface for a following electroplating operation.
Generally a preliminary electroless plating operation covers all surfaces of .a plastic carrier that was continuously passed through the electroless plating bath. Accordingly, both flat sides and both edges of the web have electrolessly plated metal. However, it may be desirable in a subsequent electroplating operation to electroplate only on the one side of the web which is to be used as a magnetic recording surface in order to conserve electroplating metal and electric power.
It is another object of this invention to provide a wet contact which can control the conveyance of current to one side of a web to be electroplated by controlling a fluid level in this contact.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a fluid contact which not only conveys electric current to a resistive tape surface to be electroplated, but which can simultaneously scribe (remove) the electroless plated edges on a web in order to prevent the movement of current from the side to be electroplated around the edges to the opposite side, which would otherwise cause parasitic plating on the second side. Hence, the invention can provide precisely controlled electroplating on only one side of the web where required.
It is another object of this invention to provide a contact that obtains cooling of the contacted surfaces of a workpiece so that more current can be applied to the conductive workpiece than can be applied by a dry contact.
It is another object of this invention to provide a contact which cools the workpiece by imparting an evaporative liquid film to it after it leaves the contact and while the workpiece is being transported through the air to the plating bath, during which time current flows through the thin resistive electroless surface to heat it. A higher maximum current can be carried under these circumstances to obtain maximum electroplated thickness.
This invention comprises an ionically conductive contact liquid, such as a salt solution, which may be the same solution as contained in the plating :bath or a different solution which is compatible with the bath solution. The contact liquid is supported insulatingly from the bath. A current-conveying means engages the ionically conductive contact fluid. If scribing is required, the current-conveying means has at least a part located adjacent to one or both edges of the tape to be scribed as it passes through the contact. The current-conveying means is connected to the negative terminal of a current source. One side of the tape can be masked from the contact liquid in order to convey current to one side of the tape for plating only on one side.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 illustrates a sectional elevation view with magnified sections of an embodiment of the invention.
FIGURE 2 illustrates section 2-2 of the contact shown in FIGURE 1.
In FIGURE 1, a fluid contact 10 is shown partly submerged in a plating bath 12 supported within an insulating container 13.
A path taken by a web 11 to be electroplated is over a roll 14a, through contact means 10, over a roll 14c, and into a plating solution 12 in which it passes under roll 14d, and out of the plating solution over a roll Me. A magnified cross-section 11a illustrates the electroless metal coating on web 11 before it enters contact 10. In 11a, Web 11 comprises a plastic substrate 40, preferably Mylar plastic, with previously electrolessly plated metal on both flat surfaces 41 and 42 and both edges 43 and 44 by a method such as described in US. Patent No. 2,658,841 to Gutzeit et al. after prior preparation by either of the above-cited US. patent application Nos. 138,609, now Patent No. 3,142,581, or 153,187, now Patent No. 3,142,582, followed by the method described in Bergstrom US. Patent No. 2,702,253. One or more of the rolls may be driven to continuously move the web through the contact and bath.
Contact means comprises an insulating container 1011 which electrically separates a conducting liquid 17 within contact means 10 from the plating bath liquid 12. Contact means 10 includes a roll 14b which receives on its underside the Web 11 prior to an electroplating operation upon the Web 11. A current-conveying plate Zlla has a pair of metallic conducting plates 20, best shown in FIGURE 2, supported at the sides of contact 10 adjacent to the opposite edges of tape 11. For scribing it is important that plates 20 be located adjacent the edges of web 11. If no scribing is required, no side plates 20 are provided and only the part parallel to roll 14b near the bottom of container 10a is provided. The latter case therefore provides a contact with activation but without scribing. The current-conveying means 20-20a is connected electrically to the negative side 31 of a current source 30, which has its positive sides connected to anodes 24a and b in the electroplating bath.
The salt solution 17 within contact 10 may be the same type of salt solution that exists in plating bath 12. Since contact means 10 is a pre-contact, a film of solution 17 will cling to the surface of Web 11 as it leaves roll 14b and moves toward plating solution 12. Thus, solution 12 will receive continuously an amount of solution 17 due to the conveyance of tape 11. Thus, solution 17 must be compatible with solution 12, if it is a different type of solution. Hence, solution 17 may be different from solution 12 as long as it does not undesirably contaminate the solution 12.
An input line 22 carries fresh conductive salt solution 12 from a solution rejuvenator 17a into contact 10, and an output line 21 conveys used-salt solution 17 to rejuvenator 17a. Thus, lines 22 and 21 and rejuvenator 17a permit continuous rejuvenation of contact solution 17. Rejuvenator 17 is presumed to used conventional rejuvenating techniques. Generally, the salt solution within contact 10 should be bufiered and have a pH between 1 and 4. A float 27 pivoted from a level control 28 that connects to rejuvenator 17a maintains a preset solution level in contact 10. Level control 28 develops an output signal on line 29 that controls the rate of addition or subtraction of solution 17 to maintain level 18 at the predetermined level.
Roll 14b may be conducting, such as where it is made of metal (stainless steel); but preferably roll 14b is nonconducting, such as where it is made of plastic resin, ceramic or glass. It is considered preferable in this disclosure to have roll 14b made of an insulating material since single surface plating can be done with an insulating roll, and a conducting metallic roll 14b may eventually be deformed after a substantial amount of use due to transference of metal to it from the tape surface. However, deformation of such roll in the fluid contact is not as serious as deformation of a dry-type roll contact, because conduction will still primarily occur through the fluid rather than through high spots on the roll that is characteristic of the dry-type roll contact.
If roll 14b is made of insulating material, the plating on one or both sides of web 11 can be controlled by the level of liquid 17 in contact 10. Thus, if liquid 17 is at or below level 19 in FIGURE 1, current is conveyed by solution 17 only to the outer surface 42 of web 11 passing around roll 14b. The inner surface 41 of web 11 engages roll 14b and cannot contact the solution below level 19. Since the inner surface 41 does not receive current, plating is inhibited on that side of the web after it reaches bath 12. If the metallic edges of the tape are not scribed (removed), some of the current will creep around the opposite side to cause some parasitic plating, however.
On the other hand, if fluid 17 is raised above level 19 such as to a level 18, then current is conveyed through the solution 17 to both sides of web 11 before it leaves contact 10, and thus plating is provided symmetrically on both sides of web 11 within bath 12.
A deplating operation occurs to the electroless metal surface of web 11 within contact means 10 as opposed to the plating action occurring on the electroless surface within bath 12, because opposite current flows occur to the surface of web 11 in contact means 10 and in plating bath 12. In contact 10, the negative side of source 30 is connected to current-conveying plates 20 and there is a slight potential drop across fluid 17 before the current leaves the surface of Web 11. Thus, the web surface is positive with respect to current conveying plate 2020a, which are thereby cathodic. Hence the current direction is from the web to plate 2020a, which causes a deplating action on the surface of the web 11 in contact 10.
The location of current-conveying plate 20 at the sides of roll 14b controls the deplating of the electroless metal in a manner that obtains some highly desirable results, and the part 20a can be eliminated for maximum scribing action. First, a scribing action occurs along edges 46 and 47 of web 11 that is so vigorous due to the close proximity of plate 20 that all electrolessly plated material on edges 43 and 44 is totally removed. The scribing provides electrical insulation between the electroless surfaces 41 and 42 as shown in magnified view 11b in FIG- URE 1. Accordingly, if it is desired to plate on one side of the tape: there is provided an insulating roll 14b and a solution at or below level 19, so that current is conveyed only to side 42 of the web and no current can flow around the edges of the web to the opposite side 41 as it moves toward plating bath 12. It is thereby possible to plate only on a single side of tape 11 without parasitic plating on the opposite side. There results a saving in electric power and electroplating material; and uniformity in solution 12 is more easily maintained.
Furthermore scribing can be desirable even for plating on both sides of web 11, because then plating on opposite sides of the web can be independently handled, such as for example using different potentials for anodes 24a and b.
A second advantage of deplating the electroless surface by contact 10 is to clean the surface by removing oxide films which can quickly form on the electroless surface prior to the web being received by contact 10. Such oxides would interfere with the electroplating operation and hence must be removed.
A third advantage of the deplating action on the fiat sides 41 and/or 42 of web 11 is that it shapes the electroless layers proportionally thinner toward the edges of the web. This tends to increase the resistance to longitudinal current flow toward the edges of the Web surfaces more than at the center of the surfaces. It has been discovered that electroplating on a webs electroless surface having uniform thickness results in an electroplated surface that is thicker toward the sides of the flat surfaces 41 and 42 than at its center. Consequently the result of proper shaping of the electroless base layer is to obtain a more uniform electroplating operation, which can obtain a tape with better magnetic recording and Wearing properties.
The liquid nature of contact 10 makes it unnecessary to provide any drying of the tape 11 prior to passing it into contact 10. Hence, the electroplating can start as soon as electroless plating is complete without an intervening drying operation. The elimination of heating ovens needed for the drying step eliminates the cost of the ovens and the space they would occupy, and prevents the drying step from slowing down the tape manufacturing operation.
Furthermore, the fluid 17 conducts heat away rapidly so that a significantly greater amount of current can be conveyed to electroless surface without burning or adverse effect than could be applied by a dry-type roll contact.
Also, when the web 11 leaves contact on its way to bath 12, it is carrying all of the current it received within contact 10. The current passing through a very resistive electroless surface 41 and 42 generates heat in that surface and raises its temperature. A liquid film is acquired on the web in contact 10, and the film provides evaporative cooling while the web is passing through the air to the bath and being heated by cur-rent. At any given web velocity, air temperature and humidity conditions, there will be a minimum critica length, beyond which it can be expected that the evaporative cooling film is gone. Thus more current can be carried by the web if the tape length between contact 10 and bath 12 is maintained below the minimum" critical length. This also increases efiiciency of power consumption since there is less power loss for a shorter web; and this results in a lower voltage requirement for source 30. Thus it is desirable that the web run in the air be maintained sufficiently short. Once the fluid evaporates, the current may heat to undesirably high temperatures that may damage the web, unless the current-carrying capacity of the web is degraded which reduces the electroplating thickness obtainable in bath 12.
As web 11 enters bath 12, it immediately dissipates current at a maximum current density on its surface, which current density decreases asymptotically to a negligible amount within one or two inches of the surface 16 of bath 12. The current-density distribution on the opposite sides of the web (assuming equal current on both sides) is illustrated respectively by curves 50a and 50b, the current density at any point on web 11 is proportional to the horizontal distance from either curve 50a or b to web 11 in FIGURE 1. This current distribution is explained in greater detail in prior U.S. patent application No. 165,806, new Patent No. 3,175,154 to H. Koretzky, B. Leland and R. W. Polleys, assigned to the same assignee as the present application. Anodes 24a and b are provided adjacent to the sides of the web near the fluid surface 16 where the current density substantially exists. If the tape is to be plated on only one side, then only anode 24a and current distribution 50:: are provided.
The result of the electroplating operation is shown in cross-section by magnified cross-sectional view 110 in FIGURE 1 which shows electroplated surfaces 48 and 49 provided on the electrolessly-plated surfaces 41 and 42.
If the container 10a is made of conductive metal, it may serve the dual function of also being the current-conveying means; and separate plates -20a need not be provided. In this case, the negative terminal of source is connected to the container, and it is insulatingly supported from bath 12.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. Apparatus including a scribing device and negative electroplating contact for electrically separating front and back resistive cobalt-alloy surfaces ipreviously coated on a plastic web, while selectively conducting current substantially entirely to the front metal surface, further comprising a following electroplating bath connected to a positive side of a current source for electroplating substantially on one side of said web,
a container for said contact insulated fro-m and immediately adjacent to said bath and for containing a contact solution of conductive salts for receiving therethrough said coated web,
an insulating roll partially submerged in said contact solution for engaging said web,
cathode-plates in said contact solution adjacent the ends of said roll and being connected to a negative side of said current source for activating the front metal coating, scribing the metal edges, and conveying current to the front metal coating on said web,
and web supporting means positioned above said contact solution in relation to said insulating roll for engaging and disengaging the web from said insulat ing roll above the level of said contact solution to inhibit current from reaching the back metal coating of said Web,
whereby the electrical intensity distribution on said web caused by the proximity of said cathode plates removes substantially all metal on the edges of said web without substantially removing metal from either the front or back sides of said web.
2. A method of controlling the conduction of an electroplating current substantially along one side of a thin resistive layer of cobalt alloy initially coated on all sides of a plastic web comprising the steps of:
passing said web into a contact salt solution compatible with a following electroplating bath,
insulating said contact solution from said bath except through a web metallic layer to force current substantially along said web,
moving said web between a pair of plates adjacent the edges of said web in said contact-salt solution,
connecting said plates to a negative terminal of a plating current source,
removing metal primarily along the edges of said web with said current in said contact solution in order to electrically separate front and back metallic layers coated on said web,
and engaging an insulating surface against the back of said web while it is in said contact-salt solution to inhibit current flow to the back metallic layer in order to activate and convey electroplating current only to the exposed front side of said web in said contact-salt solution for the subsequent electroplating operation in the following electroplating bath.

Second period summary: Bruins vs. Capitals
|04.05.10 at 8:53 pm ET
The Bruins picked themselves up off the mat with 1.6 seconds left in the first period to tie the game going into intermission with some valuable momentum.
This time – with 28.8 seconds to go in the second – the Caps took that momentum away with a goal from Mike Knuble, who crashed Tuukka Rask. For Knuble, it was his 47th of the season for the Capitals, making it 2-2 after two periods.
The goal was originally credited to Knuble then changed to Alex Ovechkin and then back to Knuble. Ovechkin has two assists tonight.
Since Dennis Wideman scored late in the first, the Bruins appeared to be energized. That was apparent when Patrice Bergeron and Milan Lucic crashed Jose Theodore, with Bergeron stuffing one past the Washington goalie for his 19th of the season.
The Bruins had taken command, carrying play throughout the period, even though the Capitals outshot the Bruins, 11-6, in the period.
First period summary: Bruins vs. Captials
|04.05.10 at 7:53 pm ET
Considering the Bruins are facing the top-scoring team in the NHL on their home ice and without a top-four defenseman, being tied, 1-1, with Washington is not all bad. As a matter of fact, it's downright remarkable.
And they were just mere millimeters away from a one-goal lead after a 20 minutes.
Niklas Backstrom's shot trickled by Tuukka Rask at 7:36 of the first period. Dennis Wideman came to the rescue but just a half-second late as the puck was ruled to have cleared the goal line for a 1-0 Capitals lead. Alex Ovechkin fed Backstrom across the slot to set up the score.
Before that, the Bruins had managed to contain the high-powered Caps without defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who skated before the game but could not play after suffering a gash in his left wrist that required 15 stitches.
The scoring chances were again plentiful for the Bruins and it seemed for the first 19 minutes, 58.4 seconds of the opening period, they would be frustrated again.
But with 1.6 seconds left, it was Wideman of all people, who blasted a slap shot past Jose Theodore to tie the game.
Prior to that goal, the Bruins spent the final 60 seconds of the first period in the Washington zone, peppering Theodore.
And just after Backstrom's goal, Michael Ryder had three great chances from close in but couldn't finish.
The Bruins outshot the Caps, 12-7.
Bruins gain important two points in Toronto
|04.03.10 at 9:50 pm ET
Summary — The Bruins continue to look for ways to apply pressure in the playoff race in the Eastern Conference, and they got a much-needed pair of points in Toronto on Saturday with a 2-1 overtime win against the Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre.
Miroslav Satan scored the game-winner in overtime with 1:35 left when he deflected a Zdeno Chara blast from the point into the net to light the lamp and end the game. Tuukka Rask got the win for the Bruins with 27 saves out dueling Jonas Gustavsson's 28 stops in the process.
Toronto took the early lead when Colton Orr found a Dion Phaneuf rebound in the slot in front of Rask at 5:10 in the first period. He put it in the back of the net while getting pushed to the ice to give the Leafs the early 1-0 lead.
Boston came back after getting outshot 14-5 in the first period to tie the game in the second. David Krejci took an outlet pass down the left wing, took the puck to the top of the circle and torqued a backhand shot on Gustavsson. The puck slipped through the crease to where Satan was waiting on the other side to bang home the rebound for his seventh of the year to even the game at 8:01.
Bruins' defenseman Mark Stuart did not play and was sent back to Boston with cellulitis in his hand and Dennis Seidenberg left the game in the first with a cut on his arm and did not return.
Three Stars
Miroslav Satan — Got his seventh and eighth goals as a Bruin which tied the game then won it in overtime.
Tuukka Rask — The man behind the mask has been the Bruins best stalwart of late and stood tall against the Leafs to earn the vital two points.
Zdeno Chara — The Bruins captain was had to dig deep with the Bruins very shorthanded on defense after Dennis Seidenberg left the game with a cut to his arm and Mark Stuart was shipped back to Boston with cellulitis in his hand. Chara logged 32:53 of ice time and led the team in blocked shots to help keep the puck out of the net.
Turning Point — Phil Kessel had a self pass off the wall at center ice in the that created a 2-on-1 with Tomas Kaberle midway through overtime. Kessel had space and tried to center the puck, but it was broken up in front of Rask to end the threat. Less than a minute later, the Bruins came back to score the game winner of Chara's shot and Satan's deflection.
Key Play — Chara set up from the point and delivered one of his patented slap shots that deflected off of Satan's stick with enough power to flash passed Gustavsson to earn the vital two points.
Second period summary: Bruins vs. Maple Leafs
|04.03.10 at 8:45 pm ET
Giving David Krejci some new wingmen has paid off, for a period at least.
Boston got back into the game with its first goal in 88:01 of game play. Captain Zdeno Chara started a break out when he hit the open Krejci in the neutral zone going down the left wing. Krejci broke through the zone and got to the top of the face off circle before torquing his body and throwing a backhand wrist shot on Gustavsson that rebounded through the crease to Miroslav Satan perfectly positioned on the other side for the bang back score.
An opportunity came for Boston via the power play when Christian Hansen took an interference call at 10:45. The Bruins had good puck control on the man-advantage (which has not always been the case this season) though the Leafs penalty kill blocked a series of shots including two by Rickard Wallin on consecutive Chara shots from the point to kill off the penalty.
Dennis Seidenberg did not return after cutting his arm in the first period and are now quite shorthanded on defense combined with the loss of Mark Stuart to cellulitis. Regardless, Boston played much better in the second period and outshot the Leafs nine to eight and trail the game in the category 22 to 14.
First period summary: Bruins vs. Maple Leafs
|04.03.10 at 7:51 pm ET
If there was ever a must-win game, Saturday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto is that kind of game for the Bruins.
The results will be twofold. Foremost, the Bruins are only a point ahead of the Thrashers and tied with Flyers for the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Secondly, if Boston wants to get a top two pick in the NHL Entry Draft this summer, they have to beat the team whose pick they own to keep them down in the standings.
So, you would think that the Bruins would be motivated and jump on the division rival Leafs early, right?
Not so much.
Toronto took the early lead at 5:10 into the game when Colton Orr, much more known for his bruising than goal scoring, pushed a rebound off a Dion Phaneuf shot pased Tuukka Rask to open the scoring.
Four minutes later the Leafs would have a big chance to make it a two-goal advantage when Michael Ryder went to the penalty box for hooking at 9:15. He was followed there 23-seconds later by Dennis Seidenberg who took a boarding call to set up 1:37 of two-man advantage ice time for Toronto.
The Bruins registered the kill and came back down the ice to put pressure on Leafs' goaltender Jonas Gustavsson but a shot hit the cross bar and bounced back out of the crease to end the threat.
During Seidenberg's penalty he had to leave the box with a cut on his forearm that needed medical attention. Defenseman Mark Stuart is not with the team after getting sent back to Boston with cellulitis, a skin infection, in his hand. Andrew Bodnarchuk has been recalled from Providence on an emergency basis.
Toronto has been the better team through the first 20 minutes and lead the Bruins in shots by nine, 14 to five.
Ryder, Wheeler among prominent line changes
|04.02.10 at 1:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — There was a little bit of a new look to the lines at Bruins practice at Ristuccia on Friday.
The normal line groupings by sweater color were blown up by coach Claude Julien. Instead of the normal David Krejci, Blake Wheeler, Michael Ryder line wearing grey, Krejci was joined by Marco Sturm and Miroslav Satan in white sweaters to make the All-European line. Wheeler still skated in grey just this time with Vladimir Sobotka and Brad Marchand. Milan Lucic took Sturm's spot on the line with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi.
That left the normal red, checking, line — Steve Begin, Shawn Thornton, Daniel Paille and Trent Whitfield.
Oh yeah. And Ryder.
"Whoever plays together I think we can definitely play together and get shots on net," Ryder said by the way of a non-committal response when asked if he saw the red sweater as a demotion.
Julien admitted that the shake up was definitely part of a wake up call that the coaching staff is giving to certain players, like Ryder, Wheeler, Sturm and Lucic, who have been pretty stale of late.
"You saw it today, making some changes, we have got to find some ways of making consistency here," Julien said. "There is a lot of stuff being done to get those guys going but at the same time we have to make changes on the ice. We are struggling to score goals and, you know, you got certain guys who just aren't going while and you hope that making changes will either spark them, wake them up or at least give some different lines some better opportunities."
The situation is getting serious for Ryder. He has one goal since Feb. 13 and has been held without a shot in three of his last four games. For a guy who is supposed to be the sniper, that is not the way things are supposed to work. He admitted that it was in his mind that the demotion to the red sweater could further lead to a demotion where he has no sweater, red, grey or Black and Gold.
"Definitely, it could happen," Ryder said. "When you are looked at to score goals and you're not scoring it is definitely in mind but I just have to keep working hard right now and step it up even another notch."
For Ryder, he would have to step up a first notch before "stepping it up even another," which he said twice in his five-minute scrum with reporters. He also said that he has been focused on battling though shooting the puck has not been his top priority.
"It makes a difference when everybody on your line is shooting the puck, getting chances and getting more opportunities you have a better chance of scoring," Ryder said. "I was not thinking about shooting a lot. Sometimes you just have to pound those areas and if you get out of position you don't get that shot. Now it is just about battling hard and trying to get to those areas and get pucks on net."
Wheeler was also held without a shot last night and is now on a line with two young players who have been on the fringe of the roster (or in Providence) for most of the year.
"Well, you know, it is sometimes good, almost refreshing to see new faces, play with new guys. Changes like that are always welcome," Wheeler said. "Anytime you go the majority of two games and zeroes goals, one at the end of the Devils game, change is probably a good thing."
Wheeler had the Bruins best opportunity with a short-handed 2-on-1 break with Krejci as his trailer but let the opportunity fizzle out in front of him without putting the puck on net. He explained the play Friday morning.
"It is disappointing," Wheeler said. "It was a play in the game that could have made it different and obviously you expect more out of yourself and I just didn't make the play, that is all there is to it."
After Recchi called out some of his teammates for not giving their best effort Thursday night and two games with only one goal, changes to the lines in some way or form were to be expected on Friday. In the dogfight that the Bruins find themselves, it will definitely take all 20 skaters to make sure their last five games are not their last of the season.
"In a way it is not that complicated, if guys work their butts off things will happen, no matter who they play with," Julien said.
Julien vs. Ryder: Two takes on same problem
|04.02.10 at 11:33 am ET
Claude Julien was pulling no punches following Thursday's 1-0 head-scratching loss to the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.
"There's no doubt we have some players who could've been much better for us," the Bruins coach said. "And a lot of those players are the players we need to help us get through this. You can't stand here and say, 'We were outstanding.' We just lost the game. If everyone were as good as they could be, we would have won this game."
And if punches equate to shots on net, Michael Ryder wasn't throwing any.
And therein lies the fundamental problem Julien had with his team and the player he considers his best shooter on the team.
"Ryder is probably our best shooter and ends up with zero shots," Julien said. "Those are the things we needed from those players." Julien. "I thought Ryder played a much better game in New Jersey and we needed more out of him [Thursday] as well.
"He's one of a few more that we needed more out of."
But Julien made it a point to say that Ryder was hardly alone. There's Blake Wheeler, without a goal in nine games.
"The chances… Wheeler goes on the 2-on-1 and doesn't get shot." Julien on Wheeler's short-handed chance in third period.
But Ryder said the effort is still there.
"If I had an answer maybe we could figure it out," Ryder said. "It's definitely disappointing when you're supposed to have the advantage at home and you can't find a way to put wins together. We have one more game left here, I think, and it's a big game. We have to make sure we get a win there. Right now every point counts and we are on the road for Toronto and Washington. Two big games and we have to find ways to put the puck in the net."
Ryder has just one goal in his last 18 games.
"It has been a tough year overall for us scoring goals," Ryder said. "We got that time of year where you have to find ways [to score]. It's getting into the grind with only five games left. We need to start getting some wins and getting ourselves some space. But we did a lot of good things tonight that we can look at. It's just a matter of us still throwing pucks at the net and maybe getting more traffic or maybe bearing down a little bit more."

French parliament to vote on Palestinian state
French lawmakers will vote on November 28 on a proposal by the Socialist Party urging the government to recognise Palestine as a state, a parliamentary source said Wednesday. The non-binding but highly symbolic vote would follow a similar vote in the British parliament and after Sweden announced it formally recognised the state of Palestine. A draft of the proposal states that the lower house National Assembly "invites the French government to use the recognition of the state of Palestine as an instrument to gain a definitive resolution of the conflict".

Circus Devils
Happy Jack
Jul 07, 2009 Web Exclusive
Gringo is the seventh—count 'em, seventh—album by Robert Pollard and longtime collaborators Tim and Todd Tobias. Previous Circus Devils albums were crazy, psychedelic, noisy, and, well strange, but Gringo is billed by the band's website as, "Circus Devils goes acoustic!" Acoustic it may well be, but Gringo is still crazy, psychedelic, and strange; the noise factor is simply dialed down a bit. "Monkey Head" is dark and minimalist. "Before It Walks" is gentle and airy. "Easy Baby" is a dissonant soundscape, and "Every Moment Flame On" features priceless vocal melody. The closest musical comparison is to early Peter Gabriel-led Genesis, except without the long songs. Pollard is as obscure and obtuse in his lyrics as ever, evidenced in lines such as "Psychopath ice cubes burn worm holes through every worthless human target." One would need advanced study in philosophy and poetry, as well as a handful of acid, to decipher this sort of message. But the crazy musical and lyrical musings are what define these projects. They are what make them interesting. If you want "Teenage FBI," go buy Do the Collapse. (www.circusdevils.com)

"Gutka" habit a tough nut to crack
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Ten states have banned a popular form of chewing tobacco in a major policy shift that may save millions of lives and strike a blow at the global tobacco industry, already reeling from new anti-smoking laws around the world.
But an estimated 65 million Indians use "gutka" - a heady form of chewing tobacco made of crushed betel nut, nicotine and laced with thousands of chemicals - and furious manufacturers are fighting to have the bans overturned.
Companies such as Delhi-based DS Group are dragging states to courts, complaining that the billion-dollar industry should be regulated as tobacco and not as food and that the bans threaten the livelihoods of millions of farmers and street vendors scattered from Bangalore to New Delhi.
"Nobody understands the bigger picture. What will happen to those poor farmers? No one thinks of them," said a company official on condition of anonymity. No company Reuters consulted would speak on record.
Last week, Punjab became the tenth of 28 states to ban the sale of gutka after the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India reclassified it as a foodstuff, prohibiting the use of tobacco and nicotine as "ingredients in any food product".
Gutka making is controlled by family-run Indian firms, with no international tobacco companies in the business. Several other forms of chewing tobacco considered less harmful have not been reclassified as foodstuffs and are not banned.
Some 482 million people live in the 10 states which have enforced the bans. Delhi, Gujarat and Chandigarh, with a combined population of 77 million, are due to follow suit - Delhi this week.
More Indians, including children, chew gutka than smoke, making the trend of outlawing the cheap, colourful packets a more effective health policy in the world's second most populous nation than anti-smoking laws like Australia's ban on cigarette pack logos.
"We're using all kinds of means to persuade the rest (of the states) to enforce the ban. It's a central legislation. States have no option but to abide now," said Amal Pushp, director of the health ministry's National Tobacco Control Programme.
Gutka is popular with the young and old alike, many of whom are blase about the nation's leading cause of oral cancer. Some of the chemicals in some brands of gutka are also used in tile cleaners and battery acids.
"If I knew it would land me here, in this condition, I wouldn't have laid my eyes on it," said Abdul Kayum, 62, sitting on a hospital bed, his face bandaged after doctors cut out part of his jaw, gums and teeth to stop the cancer spreading.
"This is a path to death," said Abdul, who sold his land in Bihar to pay for the $9,000 treatment.
Asia's third-largest economy battles almost 80,000 new cases of oral cancer yearly. The treatment of tobacco-related diseases cost more than $5 billion in 2002-2003, according to the most recent data available cited in a health ministry and WHO report.
That compares to about $1.4 billion that the government earns in excise revenue from tobacco.
Tobacco has been chewed in India for centuries, dating back to the Mughal era when nawabs had a concoction known as "paan" - a betel leaf wrapped around a mixture of areca nut, pastes, spices and tobacco - to refresh their palates and aid digestion.
Gutka and paan masala are products of recent decades, available as dry, portable and readymade variants of the traditional paan, to cater for a fast-paced, modern life.
"Eating chocolate is an addiction, eating burgers is an addiction. They are also 'food'. Will the government ban those too?" asked Sanjay Bechan, executive director of the Smokeless Tobacco Federation, adding that the gutka industry was already reporting losses.
"Are we being ruled by Hitler? This is supposed to be a democracy. People make their own choices - gutka or no gutka."
Madhya Pradesh was the first to ban the product, and Kerala, Bihar and seven others hopped on the bandwagon.
"We received several complaints from the police that schoolboys are taking these products and that hit me," Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy told Reuters.
"We had to do this for the welfare of the state, no other reason."
Maharashtra, Punjab and Kerala went a step further by banning all smokeless forms of tobacco, including "paan masala", usually sold as a mouth freshener.
But it remains to be seen how well the bans are enforced. It will be an uphill battle to keep gutka away from children like 16-year-old Arun Bhati, who has been using it since ninth grade.
"If it gets banned here, I'll still manage to get my fix," said Arun confidently, tearing open a pouch of gutka with his teeth. "You can get it on the sly."

A group of PKR Youth members protesting outside the Japanese embassy.
KUALA LUMPUR: Around 30 Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Youth members staged a protest outside the Japanese embassy here after their leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was barred from entering the country and subsequently deported on Jan 19.
The group, led by Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin also handed a memorandum of protest to the Japanese Ambassador Shigeru Nakamura, calling for an explanation on the incident, since the Opposition leader had no problems entering the country in 2009 and 2012.
Though he said it was not an official stance by the party wing, some members were seen carrying and burning placards with messages calling for a boycott of Japanese products.
The group dispersed peacefully at around 12.30pm.
"We strongly believe that the Japan Government's actions were extraordinary, unwarranted and violates Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," said the Bukit Katil MP.
Anwar arrived at the Narita International Airport in Tokyo at 6.45am Sunday and was to present a paper on Muslim Democrats.
He said the Japanese Immigration officials had explained that he was denied entry because of a previous conviction in 1999, and was asked to board the first flight back.
Shamsuk Iskandar said he had questioned embassy officials on who was updating the Japanese authorities on Anwar's cases, to which he said no answer was given.
"I fully agree that his was politically motivated. We would like to known who is updating them on the case against Anwar, because he was allowed to enter the country before without issues.
"We are worried why Japan is following this trend when it is a democratic country?" he said, referring to the barring of Australian independent Senator Nick Xenophon in Kuala Lumpur last year.
PKR Youth also called on the Foreign Affair Ministry to issue a strong statement against the deportation of one of its citizens.

Pushing Back the Darkness in New York: Archbishop Dolan Defends True Marriage Comments
Our country's founding principles speak of rights given by God, not invented by government, and certain noble values - life, home, family, marriage, children, faith - that are protected, not re-defined, by a state presuming omnipotence. We cherish true freedom, not as the license to do whatever we want, but the liberty to do what we ought. Continue Reading

This is ridiculous. I stumbled onto this article by mistake and let me just say that I am disgusted. You're using religion to justify homophobia. NEWS FLASH- It's not the eighteenth century. People are gay. It has nothing to do with who they are as a person. And how can you say all of this? Marriage is a human right not a privilege reserved for straight people. If a man and a woman who love each other can get married then what's the difference when people of the same sex want to get married? There's not a difference. There's still commitment to the person you're marrying. Put your bibles away and open your eyes you religious fanatics.

Latest Drought Stories
Plants can adapt to extreme shifts in water availability, such as drought and flooding, but their ability to withstand these extreme patterns will be tested by future climate change, according to a study by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and their cooperators.
A megadrought that started in 2005 is still affecting a portion of the Amazon rainforest twice the size of California, a new study led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) finds.
A mild winter followed by a long, sweltering summer with widespread drought made 2012 the warmest year on record for the continental United States, NOAA announced on Tuesday.
Australia should prepare now for dry times ahead by 'banking' its water underground when rainfall is plentiful.
Reports claiming that the climate change has caused global drought conditions to intensify over the past several decades are flawed and based on faulty calculations, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Nature.
There has been a controversy in the scientific community about the role of climate change in the development and subsequent demise of the Maya civilization, which thrived from AD 300 to 1000.
Some plants in arid regions benefit from climate change
Rising temperatures and decreases in precipitation associated with climate change could cause "widespread tree death" in the forests of the southwestern US, which could lead to "substantial changes" both in the landscape and the creatures living there.
The Pinyon Pine trees of the American southwest are dying off in large numbers, and many researchers have already guessed what is to blame: the heat.
Latest Drought Reference Libraries
Desertification is a form of land degradation in which a comparatively dry land area becomes more and more arid, normally losing its bodies of water along with its wildlife and vegetation. This is a result of a variety of factors, such as climate change and human activities. Desertification is an important global, ecological, and environmental issue. There is substantial controversy over the proper definition of the term "desertification". The most broadly accepted of these is that of...
- Sleep; the state or condition of being asleep.
- The state or condition of numbness of a part due to pressure on a nerve: as, the obdormition of a limb.

No dislikes the bread never changes. The best in Syracuse there are not many places to buy italian bread anymore.
I know it sounds trite, but this little hole-in-the wall bakery produces some exceptional bread. It isn't a Syracuse landmark for nothing! Try a pizza kit--you won't be disappointed.
This place has been around forever~! It offer the BEST ever Italian bread. Baked right there and smells so good as you ride around the neighborhood. There is nothing like going in and purchasing a regular long loaf and a "flat" , get in the car and tear it apart and eat it warm! It never makes it home!! So...
I remember going here for warm just out of the oven Italian bread with my parents many decades ago. Somethings never change. They only get better! Now, next door to the bakery you can get delicious deli sandwiches made on their wonderful bread. I had a meatball sandwich and my husband had turkey. Both were delicious! Great quick lunch when...
The most amazing meatball in a heel ever. They take one of their fresh baked loafs of bread (heel),made right next door, then they cut one small end off of the loaf and pull out the bread from the inside (and offer it to you to eat!). Then they fill it with cheese and fresh and delicious meatballs and sauce...
Meatballs, sauce and bread to go. $20.00 will fill your belly with the best meatballs, sauce and bread. I agree in the bakery, the clerk is not providing customer service, however the young gentleman who served the meatballs was helpful.
While lacking in pleasant customer service, the bread was delicious and it smelled amazing before we even entered the building. The clerk in the bakery was missing any real customer service skills. We did not order meat or sandwiches next door, the clerk there was busy on her cell phone (UGGGGGG, HUGE PET PEEVE) and nothing makes me walk away...
We would stop here over 40 years ago with my parents to get bread. It is as good a loaf of fresh bread as you will find anywhere.
Simple and fantastic.
SOLID UPSTATE NEW YORK GEM, THAT YOU WILL NOT EVER REPLICATE!! We come from Virginia and make this our first stop on the way to see family in upstate New York!! Take the time to find this pearl!!
Get a loaf of Italian bread and you will be in paradise this is the best bread I have ever ate I am 100% Italian and I am telling you if you live in Syracuse you know Columbus bread also a lot of local restaurant server there bread....once you walk into the bread shop the smell of the place is...

As the name implies, the Bare Access 2 are updated versions of a model first released in 2011. They have traditional running shoe styling, and weigh in at a very light 7.0 oz for the men's shoe and 5.5 for the women's.
Much of the lightweight construction is thanks to the thin mesh uppers, which are reinforced by long stability overlays incorporated into the lacing to secure the midfoot in place …
... but are airy enough to provide outstanding cooling and/or drying as necessary.
Both men's and women's models are built on the same last as Merrell's popular Barefoot line, although the fit of the Bare Access feels noticeably wider through the midfoot and arch area. I've never had a problem with the Barefoot series lasts, but if those models proved too narrow for you, the Bare Access will be an improvement.
The toe boxes are plenty wide on the Bare Access 2, allowing your feet to splay naturally …
… and the entire shoe is flexible enough to let your entire foot move in any manner it wants as well.
Like most of Merrell's Barefoot line, the heel collar of the Bare Access is thin and soft, and interior of the shoe is designed for sockless use. The microfiber footbed (along with the lacing system) prevents slipping on hills, and the entire interior fees very comfortable against bare skin.
Stack height for the shoes is 13.5mm for the men's version and 12.5mm for the women's. 8mm of that is from EVA midsole cushioning with zero drop from heel to toe, and the rest is from the insole and outsole.
Merrell once again uses high-durability Vibram rubber for its Bare Access outsole; the pattern is sort of similar to the Road Glove shoe, and like that shoe, the Bare Access outsole is ideally suited for hybrid road and trail use. I've done an equal amount of each in my pair, and I feel confident using the Bare Access on everything but highly technical trails.
As a transitional – or moderate, as I've described it – shoe, the Bare Access is an outstanding option; there's enough cushioning and protection to keep you comfortable, but all the construction aspects you need to allow for natural running. From a minimalist standpoint, the midsole is higher and ground feel is lower than what I prefer, but the Bare Access would be great for long distance road (or light trail) running to give you a margin of error when your legs get fatigued and your form may start to fall apart.
Merrell's Bare Access 2 (men's) and Bare Access Arc 2 (women's) shoes retail for $90 from the Merrell website. They are also available from Amazon.com at the links below, where some sizes and colors are discounted:
