via the Chicago Blackhawks,
The Blackhawks will need a new backup plan as training camp opens today. Goaltender Patrick Lalime will have back surgery Friday and is expected to miss 2-3 months of action with a herniated disc. A free agent acquisition this summer, Lalime was slated to backup Nikolai Khabibulin this season.

Is That A Guarantee
09/14/06 at 11:07 AM ET | Comments (0)
from MSG Network,
If new defenseman Aaron Ward plays with half as much confidence as he speaks, the Rangers will be fortified on the blueline. File this away in your memory bank: When I was interviewing Ward on Tuesday for a segment on SportsDesk, I asked him why he chose New York over several suitors. His answer should make Ranger fans sit up and take notice. "This team is going to win the Stanley Cup," Ward said.more on the Rangers...

Your Turn
09/14/06 at 10:45 AM ET | Comments (0)
OK KK members and guests, who are you expecting "big things" from this year? A breakout year, a rebound year, a rookie we have never heard from? Tell the KK readers who to keep an eye on this year. My pick is Niklas Kronwell. I expect more power play time for him and I see a 60+ point season. Hopefully he can avoid those freakish injuries...

Johnson Staying At Michigan
09/14/06 at 10:18 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the News & Observer,
Whatever questions the Carolina Hurricanes face on defense, Jack Johnson still isn't the answer. The Hurricanes' top prospect's father, also named Jack, said Wednesday that the Michigan defenseman has no interest in leaving school, even with a roster spot open to him after Frantisek Kaberle's potentially season-ending shoulder surgery. "He's enrolled in classes, and he's going to play at Michigan this season," the elder Johnson said. "There's no way this kid is going to walk out on his team at the 11th hour. I understand Carolina's position, and he does, too, but he made the commitment to Michigan, he values the Michigan education tremendously and he's looked forward all his life to this. "Sure, he wants to be an NHL player, but he also wants to take this one step at a time."continued added 12:56pm, from TSN,
NHL sources tell TSN that in the wake of Johnson's latest decision to stay at school, Carolina GM Jim Rutherford has begun making calls to other GMs in an effort to trade the 6-foot-1, 200-pound, hard-hitting, fast-skating blueliner. "He's in play," a source said. "Carolina isn't going to give him away because he's a blue-chip asset, but if they get the right deal, he's gone."

Connolly Could Miss Two Months
09/14/06 at 10:13 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
The Buffalo Sabres are chalking up center Tim Connolly as lost for training camp. Now they're concerned with how much of the regular season he'll miss - perhaps two months, if not more. On the eve of training camp, Connolly still has lingering effects from the nasty concussion he suffered four months ago in the playoffs. "From my standpoint that's what I'm doing is anticipating him missing games now," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "It's no use running around and hiding and hoping. He's not feeling well. I feel bad for him. The doctors say it could take a little while longer. We're hoping that, eventually, he'll come out of it."continued

Questions For The Season
09/14/06 at 09:46 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Ottawa Sun,
WILL THERE BE CHANGES IN THE WAY NHL GAMES ARE OFFICIATED? Director of officiating Stephen Walkom didn't hurt a back muscle trying to pat himself after so many positive reviews for free-flow hockey last year. But 70 referees and linesmen went to training camp in Fort Erie last week with a tough act to follow. "We have to remember how hard we worked last year, focusing on a standard and sticking to it until it became habitual," Walkom said of the obstruction crackdown. "By the end of last year, we'd found our comfort zone. Our guys were getting better at spotting things and reacting to them where historically, we'd been picking and choosing. Now, there will be more work on optimum performance as a four-man team. "I think you'll see a heightened awareness this year on embellishment (diving). If all participants in the game work on it, then it won't be a problem."read on...many more topics discussed...

Taking Sand - Looking For Gold
09/14/06 at 09:40 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Chicago Tribune,
The engine that drives this gritty, weather-beaten city of belching smokestacks and trolley lines is steel, but its heart and soul is hockey. The pro team here, Metallurg, polishes its prodigies from the age of 6. And it almost always fills its aging 3,500-seat stadium with screaming fans adorned in Metallurg red, white and blue. So when Magnitogorsk's favorite son, Metallurg forward Evgeni Malkin, suddenly disappeared from the team Aug. 12 in Helsinki, Finland, Russians here gasped and waited. Four days later, when the 20-year-old superstar turned up in the U.S. to embark on a career in the National Hockey League, they seethed.continued

Don't Mention That Name
09/14/06 at 09:34 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Detroit Free Press,
Training camp will be much different this year, if only because veterans like Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan are gone. Longtime captain Yzerman retired in the off-season and Shanahan signed with the New York Rangers. Cleary, who took lots of ribbing from Shanahan last season and who was once kicked out of a team meal by Yzerman for mentioning former Colorado nemesis Patrick Roy, said camp wouldn't be the same without those two. "I'm going to miss both guys," Cleary said. "Not only on the ice but (their) personalities off the ice. I think this year, everybody's going to have a little more responsibility."more

The Skinny On Iggy
09/14/06 at 09:25 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Calgary Sun,
Iginla is as trim as he has been in ages. "It's been a while, probably three or four years," Iginla said just before a rain-soaked 9 a.m. shotgun tee-off yesterday for the annual Flames Charity Golf Classic at Country Hills. "Over the years, I probably put on a couple of pounds. You work out just trying to get stronger and stronger. This year the focus was a little bit different, not so much worried about strength and able to take a few pounds off. "Not pounds of fat," he added with a laugh. Iginla credits his metamorphosis to a new off-season focus on speed and agility in order to adapt to the new NHL rules which debuted last year. The 29-year-old right winger decided late last season to alter his workouts -- including the addition of once-a-week yoga sessions -- after a relatively disappointing 35-goal campaign.more

Why Blame Anyone
09/14/06 at 09:23 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Vancouver Province,
Pressed on how he'd deal with hitting the club's self-imposed salary ceiling of $42.5 million US if Kesler is kept -- 21 projected roster players under contract for $42.570 million with a backup goalie and Josh Green still to sign -- Nonis was non-committal. "You always want the best team possible, but I'm not talking about it and I will talk about it at the appropriate time," he said. Nonis also wouldn't bite on who's to blame for the offer sheet. Is it Clarke who needs a third-line centre with Keith Primeau announcing that he will retire today due to post-concussion syndrome? Is it NHL commissioner Gary Bettman or the new collective bargaining agreement that is driving up the salaries of Group 2 free agents?read on

The Eyes of the Law: Justices Who Are Slumming It

Google has secured the lease of a NASA airbase in San Francisco for 60 years, possibly to house their upcoming space-exploration vehicles and robotics research.
The agency's press release at Dyman & Associates Risk Management Projects indicated that the lease, which will cost the tech giant $ 1.16 billion, is for " research, development, assembly and testing in the areas of space exploration, aviation, rover/robotics and other emerging technologies".
NASA Administrator Chris Bolden said, "As NASA expands its presence in space, we are making strides to reduce our footprint here on Earth." He added that the agency wants "to invest taxpayer resources in scientific discovery, technology development and space exploration – not in maintaining infrastructure no longer needed."
According to the report, a real-estate offshoot of Google called Planetary Ventures will be managing the Moffett airbase and will take over the $200 million improvement to the site, which includes educational facilities to let the public "explore the site's legacy".
The 1,000 acres of airfield in the southern part of SF Bay include two runways, a golf course, office space, NASA's Ames research center and three hangars, one of which is the iconic Hangar One. It's expected that the agency will save around $6 million worth of operation and maintenance expenses per year because of the lease.
Hangar One is one of the biggest freestanding edifice which covers 8 acres and was constructed in the 1930s for US naval airships. In 1966, it was recognized as a US Naval Historical Monument but has recently been placed as an endangered historic place according to a Dyman & Associates Risk Management Projects' press release.
"GSA was proud to support NASA in delivering the best value to taxpayers while restoring this historic facility and enhancing the surrounding community," said Dan Tangherlini of the US General Services Administration.
The Moffett lease shouldn't really come as a surprise as it's practically just next to Googleplex HQ. In fact, it's already servicing private jets owned by the company's executives such as Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt.
Both Brin and Page, the firm's co-founders, are evidently interested in space exploration and aviation as shown by their X Lab's Project Loon and Project Moonshot. Their company has also acquired satellite and robotics firms recently such as Meka Robotics and Redwood Robotics.
NASA and Google have also previously teamed up in 2005 when the latter made office at the agency's research facility and launch a new lab.

Jacob Beringer, a Hamilton High School graduate from Sussex, Wis., altered the course of his future and his friends as a result of reconnecting with his eighth-grade buddy.
A few weeks into the start of the 2010 – 2011 school year, Beringer walked to a dining table during the lunch hour when he spotted a uniformed Soldier whose face looked familiar.
"I approached him and saw his name (plate) and knew then it was him. That's when I said, 'Do you remember me?'" Beringer said. "I didn't recognize him (Beringer) at first," said Staff Sgt. Nicholas Dimiceli, a recruiter with the Menomonee Falls Recruiting Station.
Beringer asked Dimiceli if he had gone to St. Agnes, a parochial school in Butler, and whether he remembered being part of a buddy program that matches eighth graders with first graders. Eighth graders would read books to their younger buddies, celebrate holidays, visit the zoo, and do various actitivities together throughout the school year.
After getting over the initial stun, Dimiceli said he couldn't understand how over the past three years of combing the school they had never bumped into each other. They caught up on each other and then Dimiceli naturally inquired what Beringer would do after graduation.
"I was thinking about going to a technical college to become a mechanic. That was the closest I had to making plans after school," Beringer said.
Dimiceli said he couldn't help but to suggest becoming a mechanic in the Army. Beringer said he had given some thought to the Army since his grandfather had served in the Korean War. In fact Beringer wears one of his grandfather's identification tags and has a tattoo that bears that image.
Beringer said his father would be proud of him to do something that he would have liked to have done. But his mother was a little less excited for him.
"Being able to tell us that his buddy (from St. Agnes) was his recruiter made things easier," said Kathy Beringer, Jacob's mother. "I think Jacob knew that would make me more comfortable with the idea. Knowing Nick (Dimiceli) just made everything so much easier."
Kathy said she felt free to ask any question or voice any concern with Dimiceli because she knew he would provide a straightforward answer.
Beringer said he still needed some time to personally reflect on the prospect of joining the Army, but it helped that his mother would support his decision. Now that Beringer has committed to making the Army his future, four of his friends have also followed suit.
"We don't want to just sit at a desk, we want to do something good for our country," Beringer said.
Beringer leaves for Basic Combat Training mid July.

Introduction to Highland Dancing
� Kirsty Duncan PhD FSAScot
Highland Dancing, which
requires the endurance and strength of an athlete and the artistry of a
dancer, is the traditional solo dancing of Scotland, and should not be
confused with Scottish country dancingthe social dance of the country. The
latter shares elements with ballroom and formation dance (i.e. dance, in
which an important element is the pattern of movement across the dance
floor, such as in square dancing).
Unfortunately, the origins of
Highland Dancing are shrouded in antiquity, legend--and even the mists of
the mountains. Little academic research has been undertaken into this
beautiful and important art formin part, because very little was recorded,
as Highland culture was largely an oral culture, with song and traditions
passed down by word of mouth, and part because dance masters passed their
steps down to young prot�g�es. Consequently, steps and dances took on the
regional character of the diverse and magnificent regions.
As a result, numerous stories
abound regarding the source of the dances, and many are in conflict with
each other. I will therefore give both the history, which is commonly
accepted among teachers and judges, as well as some of the legends and
stories with which I grew upin order that more information is not lost.
Many of the legends are beautiful and inspiring to young dancers, and should
be recorded for the future. It is therefore my hope that dancers and
teachers will contribute to the history in order that we develop a more
complete database of the rich past.
In previous centuries,
Scottish regiments used Highland Dancing as exercise to keep the troops in
shape, and ready for battle. The dances are indeed excellent exercise; for
example, in a typical six-step Highland Fling, a dancer will jump vertically
192 times, while performing complicated and intricate footwork, and using
the muscles from head to toe. Highland dancing is therefore akin to
sprinting, with dancers using fast-twitch muscle, which is also required by
Today, Highland Dancing is
one of the premiere events at Highland Games throughout the world; for
example, in Canada, Japan, Scotland, South Africa, and the United States of
America. Until the early 1900's, only men entered Highland Dancing
competitions. However, the tradition changed during the World Wars, as women
wanted to preserve their rich culture and history, while the men were
defending their homeland.
Competitive female dancers
now outnumber male dancers by about one hundred to one, although the dancing
community is always eager to welcome more men, for their strength is very
much celebrated. This year at the 2006 World of Highland Dancing Conference
in Las Vegas, a special luncheon was held to honour the Men of Highland
In order to be a successful
competitive dancer, students require many hours of practice and training
over a period of numerous years, as Highland dancing has much in common with
ballet in terms of its technique. Students also require mastery of the four
basic Highland dances, namely, the Highland Fling, the Sword Dance, Seann
Truibhas (pronounced shawn trewes), and the reelall of which are
performed in the traditional kilt.
Highland Dances
The Highland Fling
The most commonly recounted
history of the Fling is that it is a dance of celebration, performed after
victory in battle. Clansmen performed the dance on a small round targe, a
circular shield of wood with the front covered in tough hide, and the back
in deer or sheepskin. The targe weighed approximately five pounds, and was
strong enough to withstand the thrust of a bayonet. The front of the shield
was decorated with brass studs and plates, and often had a long spike in the
Agility, nimble footwork, and
strength allowed the dancer to avoid the sharp spike, which often projected
five to six inches upwards.
Another explanation of the
origin of the dance is as follows: the Fling may extend back to the first
centuries AD, and may in fact have been an ancient fertility dance. The
supporting evidence is the raised hands, representing a stag, an ancient
sign of virility.
Other experts, however,
suggest that a deer leaping across the moors may have motivated the creation
of the dance, as the arms held like antlers, the body turning around, the
feet dancing from side to side, are all reminiscent of a stag at play. A
similar interpretation suggests the dance celebrates a successful stag hunt.
Traditionally, the dance
would have been performed in hard shoes or brogues, and would not have
allowed for the tight around-the-leg movement so characteristic of the dance
today. In fact, the working foot was likely flung around the other leg.
Today, the dance is performed
to stirring pipe music such as Monymusk, Orange and Blue, or any other
suitable strathspey, a tune in 4/4 time. The strathspey is said to be unique
to Scotland, and is thought to derive from the Gaelic waulking songstunes
to which Highland women beat urine-soaked tartan cloth to make it airtight
against the wind.

Highland Games 2010
The Sword Dance
Perhaps the most renowned
Highland Dance is the Sword Dance, which has its roots in Scotlands
embattled past.
Some suggest that Malcolm
Canmore, King of Scotland, who ruled the country between 1054 and 1096,
created the dance. In 1054 Malcolm Canmore began the military campaign that
Macbeth made famous. Malcolm, supported by the Earl of Northumbria, was able
to force territorial concessions from Macbeth at the bloody battle of
Dunsinane on 24 July, 1054.
After the success, Malcolm is
believed to have placed his own sword on top of that of his enemy in the
form of a cross and danced triumphant over them.
Others suggest that warriors
danced the Sword Dance the night before battle. If the dancer touched the
sword, the dancer would be wounded the next day, but if a dancer kicked the
sword, he would be killed.
The dance is performed today
to the pipe tune Ghillie Calum with two or more slow steps followed by one
or two quick steps. If a dancer touches a sword (but not displaces it in
competition), the dancer loses five marks. However, if the dancer displaces
the sword, s/he is disqualified.

Seann Truibhas
Seann Truibhas, pronounced
Shawn Trewes, is Gaelic for Old Trousers. It is largely believed that
the dance developed after the 1745 Jacobite Rising, when Charles Edward
Stuart (more affectionately known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) came to Scotland
(from France) to win back the crown.
Initially the uprising was a
staggering success; the Jacobite army rapidly broke out of the Highlands,
captured Edinburgh, and advanced as far south as Derby in England.
Unfortunately, the army lacked the necessary French support, and so
retreated back to their stronghold in the Highlands, where it was finally
defeated at Culloden Moor near Inverness in 1746.
Afterwards, the government
decided to end once and for all the Jacobite military threat. Jacobites were
rounded up, imprisoned or executed. Estates were snatched, the clan system
dismantled, and their kilt and plaids, pipes, and weaponry outlawed.
Some therefore suggest that
the dance was created when the above Act of Proscription was repealed in
1783, and Highlanders were once again allowed to wear their kilts. The first
part of the dancethe balletic, graceful slow time (as Bonnie Prince Charlie
came from France) with brushing movements--are thought by some to mimic a
clansman shedding his hated trewes; and the quick-time is thought to
reflect the Highlanders returning to his tradition of Highland dress and
custom (as the quick steps are similar in style to that of the Highland
Another interpretation
suggests that the dance is, in fact, the Highlander showing-off his new
tartan trewes to the English King.
The dance is performed to the
pipe tune, Whistle oer the Lave ot for both the slow and quick time.

Reel of Tulloch
There are several types of
group dances performed by Highland Dancers. They include:
1. Hullachan
2. Strathspey and Half Tulloch
3. Strathspey and Highland Reel
4. Strathspey and Highland Reel and Half Tulloch.
A Strathspey is performed by
four dancers, initially beginning in a line, and dancing a figure of
eightalthough the formation actually uses three loops--to a suitable
strathspey tune, such as The Marquis of Huntlys Highland Fling. A quicker
Highland Reel (using the same formation) or Tulloch (with dancers taking
turns doing steps and turning with linked arms) follows the Strathspey.
Common pipe tunes for the Highland Reel are Kate Dalrymple, Mrs. Macleod of
Raasay, the Fairy Dance, the High Road to Linton, or any other suitable reel
The Reel of Tulloch or
Hullachan (performed to the tune of the same name) refers to a dance
performed outside a cottage. This Reel is thought to have originated in the
Churchyard, where on a cold winter's Sunday a Minister was late for his
service-- parishioners tried to keep warm by clapping their hands and
stamping their feet.
This finishes the section on
the traditional Highland Dances. The next section introduces the Irish Jig
and the Sailors Hornpipe, which borrow from Irish and English traditions.
Both dances are performed at Highland Games.

The Irish Jig is a parody of
Irish dancingborrowing many similar foot and leg movements, and even using
hard shoes--and temper.
Arm movements reflect the
history behind the dancenamely, an angry fishwife mopping up the floor
with her husband (or perhaps a wife angry because her husband has been in
the pub til the wee hours of the morning). The dancer chases her husband,
flounces her skirt, and shakes her fists. Female dancers wear green/red
dresses/skirts, complete with apron, and hard shoes for stomping out the
Some believe the male version
of the dance mimics the happy-go-lucky Irishman facing his wife's tirade.
Male dancers wear green/red tails, breeches, hat, and twirl a shillelagh.
The dance is typically
performed to Paddys Leather Breeches, The Irish Washerwoman, or the Rakes
of Kildare.

Sailors Hornpipe
Hornpipe dancing was fairly
widespread throughout the British Isles during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Hornpipe likely developed as a means of exercise for sailors (much like
the Highland Dances for soldiers) who were aboard ships for long periods of
time, and as a means to relieve boredom and discontent. It is in fact
believed that the Royal Navy Captain James Cook (1728-1779) thought dancing
was most useful to keep his men in good health during a voyage.
Todays Scottish Hornpipe
borrows from the English Hornpipe, and is a very energetic dance, which
recreates the many chores of a sailor on board his ship including, hauling,
hoisting, looking out to sea, waving the farewell flag etc..
Dancers perform in navy blue
or white sailor's uniform with hat to hornpipe pipe tunes, such as Crossing
the Minch, Jackie Tar, or My Love Shes But a Lassie Yet.

National Dances
The National Dances include
Blue Bonnets, Flora MacDonald's Fancy, Hielan' Laddie, Scotch Measure,
Scottish Lilt, The Earl of Errol, The Village Maid, and Wilt Thou go to the
Barracks Johnnie?
These dances varies
considerably in character. Only two of the above dances are performed in a
kilt, namely Barracks and Laddie. The remainder of the dances were
created by dancing masters in the 19th century to be danced by women, as
females were not originally allowed to dance the strong Highland Dances, or
even wear the kilt.
The National Dances are more
balletic, lady-like, and softeralthough they require tremendous skill to
execute correctly, as the rhythms and technique are often more complicated
than in the conventional Highland Dances. The costume is called Aboyne,
and includes a full tartan skirt, a white blouse, a velvet vest laced up the
front, and a plaid (pronounced played); women may also wear a white dress
with a plaid.
National Dances were
generally not performed in competition until the 1960s in North America.
Today, females and males dance both Highland and National Dances. Males have
the option of wearing tartan trewes or a kilt for the National Dances.
Blue Bonnets
Blue Bonnets is a balletic
dance, which is thought to depict a graceful lady trying to attract the
attention of the passing Bluebonnets--the name given to soldiers who wore
a broad blue woolen cap with a plume, and who were often the first to face
the English.
The dance is performed to the
tune of the same name. Words were set to the tune by Scotlands Sir Walter
Scott (1771-1832), Scottish historic novelist, poet, and writer.
Flora Macdonalds Fancy
The Flora is a pretty dance
choreographed in honour of famed Flora MacDonald. After the massacre at
Culloden in 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie had a high price on his head, and
Flora helped him escape to Skye by disguising him as her maid, Betty Burke.
The crossing was short but
dangerous, as the small boat weathered both bullets from the shore, and
storms. Both survived, and the Prince escaped to France, never to return.
Flora was later arrested when
her part in the escape became known. However, her courage, ingenuity, and
popular appeal meant that she was well treated, and was later released from
the Tower.
When I was a child, I was
told the legend that Flora loved Bonnie Prince Charlie, and that she
performed the dance high on a hill, as he sailed for France.
Flora Macdonalds Fancy is
often danced to The Atholl Highlanders, The Cock of the North, The
Piobaireachd (pronounced Pibroch) of Donald Dhu, or any suitable 6/8 March.
Hielan Laddie
Soldiers are thought to have
created the dance during the First World War. The dance is performed to the
famous tune of the same name. In 1881, Highland Regiments throughout the
British Army adopted Highland Laddie as their Regimental March (theme
song of the Regiment) in compliance with official decree.
Highland Laddie is the most
common of the Regimental Marchesbeing used by such Regiments as The Black
Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada and the 48th Highlanders of
Canada. Canadian Forces Adminstrative Order 32-3 mentioned that the tune was
used during the Second World War in order to raise the morale of men after
battle, and played at the victory parade in Amsterdam, Holland.

Scotch Measure
Scotch Measure can either be
danced as a solo dance or as a partner dance, in which case it is called the
Twa Some. The male dancer would wear his kilt, and the female dancer the
Aboyne or white dress; the dance is thought to show the Scottish dating

Scottish Lilt
The Lilt or Scottish Jig
is another pretty dance; it is unusual in that the counting is in sixes
rather than eights, which is the norm.
The dance is commonly
performed to Drops O Brandy or the Battle of the Somme, a spirited tune,
which belies the tragedy of the battle it commemorates. The forces of most
Commonwealth countries were present at this battle.

nowadays. Maria Zotko (Shady Glen, Moscow, Russia) performs all these steps,
mostly in recognized Highland dance technique but preserving Scottish Step
tendency to use low 3rd aerial positions.

The Earl of Errol
The Earl of Errol may be
based on an 18th-century Irish-style hard shoe dance (although today it is
performed in soft shoes), which was choreographed for the Earl of Errol.

The Village Maid
Of all the dances, this dance
is most heavily influenced by ballet. The dance is unusual in that there is
very little hopping, which is so characteristic of Highland Dancing, and the
dancer steps flat onto the foot-- most of the other dances require that the
dancer be on the ball of the supporting foot.

Wilt Thou Go to the
Barracks Johnnie?
The Barracks is thought to
have been a recruiting dance for the army. A recruiting officer would use a
dancer to attract people to his recruiting station or use the dancer for
entertainment while in a village. The dance is performed to such pipe tunes
as Braes o Mar or The Barren Rocks of Aden.
Johnny wilt thou go to the
Barracks - St. Andrew's Day Gala
Other Dances
Other dances do exist, such
as the Broadsword, Cakewalk, and Tribute to James L. McKenzie, although they
are not generally danced in competitionsunless there is a special event.
The Broadsword,
performed by four dancers over four highland broadswords placed to make a
cross, was commonly taught to those in Scottish Regiments of the army. The
dance is performed to strathspey tunes, and then speeds up for reel tunes
for the last one or two steps of the dance.
Highland Dancing the
The Cakewalk, unlike
the other dances, actually originates in the southern United States of
America, from which famed dancer, judge and examiner, James. L. McKenzie
(1905-1992), MBE, took back to Scotland, as he was so taken by the dance.
The Cakewalk imitates a
couple promenading in a dignified manner, high-stepping and kicking, and
mimicking high society. The dance has its roots in plantations and, sadly,
Plantation owners would bake
a special cake, invite the neighbors over, and have a dance contest among
the slaves. By the 1890's, the Cakewalk was a much-celebrated dance; in 1892
the first Cakewalk contest was held in New York.
Today, the dance is a
favourite special event at competitions, with the dancers developing themes
for their costumes such as the Wild West.
Robert McOwen choreographed
this version of The Cakewalk with Aileen and Gregor, who danced it at the
Scotland, CT Highland Games in October 2006. Needless to say, they took
first place, and have since performed it with Highland Dance Boston.
Miss Elspeth Strathern,
another well-known Highland dance teacher and examiner, choreographed the
dance, Tribute to J.L. McKenzie, for Mr. McKenzies contributions to
Highland Dancing. Some of his impressive wins include the Braemar Highland
Games Championship, which he won ten times, and the Cowal Highland Gathering
trophy, which he won in three successive years.
Cakewalk Highland Dance
His favourite dance was the
Highland Fling. When he won the Coronation Medal at the Braemar
Gathering he was thrilled to perform the Highland Fling for newly crowned
Queen Elizabeth ll.
In recognition of his
dedication to the art of Highland dancing, Mr. McKenzie was later granted
the distinction of Member of the British Empire (MBE), an honour bestowed
upon him at Buckingham Palace by the Queen.
Finally, other dances, which
are not performed in competition, include Hebridean Laddie, Over the Water
to Charlie, and Tulloch Gorum.

Horatio C Wood, Jr.
|Horatio C Wood, Jr.
January 13, 1841
|January 3, 1920
(aged 78)
Horatio C Wood, Jr. (January 13, 1841 – January 3, 1920) was an American physician and biologist.
Horatio C Wood was part of the illustrious Wood family of Pennsylvania.[1][2] Many of his relatives share similar names, and there is some confusion over Wood's own middle name. Although reported in different sources as "Horatio Charles Wood" and "Horatio Curtis Wood", his son, Horatio Charles Wood, Jr., has stated that his father's middle name was simply the letter C, without a period.[3][2] This was a compromise between Wood's parents, his mother preferring the middle name Charles and his father, Horatio Curtis Wood, preferring Curtis.[3] The family were Philadelphia Quakers descended from Richard Wood who sailed from Bristol with William Penn.[3] Later in life, Wood also signed himself "Horatio C Wood, Sr.", to distinguish him from his son.[3]
Wood started studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1859, and graduated in 1862, having presented a thesis on "enteric fever".[3] While still a student, Wood wrote his first scientific paper, reporting on the Carboniferous flora of the United States.[3] He served several internships in hospitals, and acted as a surgeon for the Northern army during the American Civil War, including a spell at the front-line Fairfax Seminary General Hospital.[3]
After the Civil War, Wood supplemented his income by teaching privately at the medical school. He was awarded the chair of botany at the university, and was elected "Clinical Lecturer in Nervous Diseases" at the medical school in 1873, later rising to Clinical Professor.[3] He was made Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy in 1876, and added General Therapeutics to his title later that year. Upon his retirement in 1907, Wood was granted the title of Emeritus Professor of Therapeutics.[3]
Wood was a member of various scientific societies, including the American Physiological Society and the National Academy of Sciences, having joined the latter in 1879, the same year as Cleveland Abbe, William G. Farlow and Willard Gibbs.[3] He was awarded honorary degrees by Lafayette College, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania.[3]
Wood's fame was established by his 1874 work Treatise on Therapeutics, which became the principal textbook in materia medica and therapeutics for 30 years.[3] Wood published fourteen botanical papers between 1860 and 1877, including a 270-page monograph on freshwater algae.[3] In his earlier years, wood also published on zoology, especially on Myriapoda.[3]
Three of Wood's papers were awarded prizes. His 1869 paper Research upon American Hemp won him a special prize from the American Philosophical Society; the Warren Prize of the Massachusetts General Hospital was awarded for his Experimental Researches in the Physiological Action of Amyl Nitrite; in 1872, he won the Boylston Prize for his Thermic Fever or Sunstroke.[3]
Wood was the editor of several scientific journals, including New Remedies (1870–1873), Philadelphia Medical Times (1873–1880), The Therapeutic Gazette (1884–1890) and the U. S. Dispensatory (1883–1907).[3]
Wood died of pneumonia on January 3, 1920, and was buried in Philadelphia.[3]

Record companies investigated over digital music pricing
The four major record companies are being investigated by New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer over whether they have violated antitrust laws in the pricing of songs sold by digital music services such as the iTunes Music Store.
"Spitzer's office recently began serving subpoenas on the major record companies—the Universal Music Group, a unit of Vivendi Universal; Sony BMG Music Entertainment, a joint venture of Sony and Bertelsmann; the EMI Group; and the Warner Music Group, according to people involved," reports The New York Times. "Some major record companies have been pushing to introduce flexible pricing, charging more for hit songs and less for oldies, for example. But some executives say that a more complex price structure would turn off buyers and hurt industry efforts to woo music listeners away from free, unauthorized file-swapping networks."

Gonzaga University seniors, Jordyn Pillatzke, left, and Madison Merz protect their "Take the Hate Out of Hoops" posters fromt he wind as they head to College Hall in Spokane. Students from the Hate Studies in Business class have organized a response to hateful tweets sent by GU students about Mormons and Mormon faith after the last BYU/GU game. The Zags play Brigham Young on Thurday evening in the McCarthey Athletic Center. Tipoff is at 8. Kevin Graman SR story here. (SR photo: Dan Pelle)
Question: Are business students overreacting to a fierce rivalry developing between Gonzaga & BYU? Or being preemptive?
In an editorial today, the Idaho Argonaut criticizes the 10,000 students on campus for not providing a better following for the Vandal basketball team. Which ranks third in the WAC and has a 15-11 record overall. Only 1,843 attended Saturday's basketball game on campus. Adding insult to injury, the editorial goes on to point out that the hated Boise State Broncos attracts 5,500 fans on average in the Taco Bell Arena "to watch a Bronco team that has one conference win this year and is 12-19 overall. Who are the true fans?" More here. (UI sports media photo: Kyle Barone who was named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week after leading Idaho to a 3-0 record during the week of Feb. 6-12)
Question: Why doesn't the fervent following for the Idaho Vandals football team translate into support for the UIdaho basketball team?
Idaho basketball coach Don Verlin will readily admit he made a mistake when it came to his handling of Connor Hill. No, not when he signed the 6-foot-2, 180-pound guard out of Post Falls to play with the Vandals, but his decision prior to the start of the season to redshirt the reigning Idaho 5A high school player of the year. "I probably shouldn't have even tried to redshirt him, looking back on it," Verlin said. "… He can really shoot, and we knew that all along." To give Verlin credit, it only took him three games to realize his error. In the 10 games since, Hill has established himself as one the Vandals' top pure shooters and a reliable sharp shooter off the bench, hitting on 45.7 percent of his attempts from 3-point range and averaging 5.7 points and 9.2 minutes per game/Devin Rokyta, Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here. (Daily News photo: Dean Hare)

My Favorite
I love this hair! I have tried more expensive pieces, but I have always gone back to Jolie. The wefted cap fits me perfectly.
Best of the best
I love this wig. So many people ask me where I get my hair done and I smile and say "I do it" which is true. I shake it out put it on and voila! Nothing could be easier for a 63 year old. I wish they would come out with it in heat resistant hair then it would be perfect! My color is
Creamy Toast and I also have had Nutmeg in the past.
I like this wig but it was on back order and I had to wait a long time just to get it and I wish the colors were the TruColor pictures. It's hard to tell what the color will look like when it's not the TruColor.
Jolie has always been a favorite of mine!
Looks natural and this is my all time favorite

No more marriages will be performed between same-sex couples in Arkansas as counties seek clarity after a state Supreme Court ruling.
Two counties that had been issuing gay marriage licenses said Wednesday that they would stop.
The move comes after the Arkansas Supreme Court rejected the state's request to put on hold a ruling that overturned Arkansas' ban on gay marriage.
However, justices offered no direction to the state's county clerks, some of whom sought clarity after Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza found the 10-year-old ban unconstitutional last week. The court said a law banning licenses for same-sex couples remains in place.
