Michael Jackson's father is as "cold as ice," said Lauren Monica in Daily Kos. On the BET awards red carpet Sunday night, Joe Jackson was interviewed about his son's death (watch the interview), but he seemed only interested in Michael's legacy as a "superstar"—not once did he refer to MJ as his "beloved son," or even as his son, for that matter. And just two days after Michael's death, the Jackson patriarch seemed "to have a great time at the BET awards instead of grieving." Unbelievable.
Joe Jackson's antics at the BET awards were "just awful," said Gawker. Not only did he display "indifference over the recent death of his son," he even had the gall to plug "some Blu-Ray disc he's peddling." His behavior was absolutely "cringe-worthy," and made you want to grab him, "slap him across his face a few times and shake him vigorously while screaming, 'What the hell is wrong with you old man!'"
Look, Joe Jackson is clearly grieving, said Kyle Anderson in MTV.com, and he wasn't exactly "in high spirits" at the BET awards. He expressed concerns "over the final moments of his son's life, especially the circumstances and people surrounding the incident." And he took responsibility as the family's patriarch immediately following his son's death, and has "stressed that his and his family's primary priority was the care of Michael's three children."
Joe Jackson may have been closer to Michael than people realize, said FOXNews.com. Although it was widely believed that "the singer was distant from his family," Joe Jackson had reportedly "seen his son shortly before his death," and Michael "spoke with his mother Katherine quite regularly," which is more than can be said for MJ's eight siblings—none of them had talked to their brother recently.

Welcome and Introductions
Whether you are a new or continuing student, the ISSO welcomes you to the 2014-2015 academic year and to the first edition of our monthly electronic newsletter!
Our newsletter contains immigration updates and reminders, and the latest information about ISSO services; it is very important that you read it! View the ISSO newsletter archive here.
We thought this first newsletter would be a good opportunity to introduce (or re-introduce) you to each staff person in the ISSO team:
Brendan OBrien, Director
Brendan O'Brien has worked in the ISSO since 1989 and became director of the office in 1998. He entered the field of international education after studying abroad in Kenya and Israel as an undergraduate, and in France as a graduate student. He enjoys travel and learning about the history and culture of other countries. Brendan's wife Sachiko works in the Vet College. Their two young daughters keep them very busy. Brendan enjoys all sports, particularly basketball, swimming, running, biking and American football. Brendan enjoys working in the ISSO and looks forward to meeting as many new students as possible!!
Laura Taylor, Associate Director
Laura has been at the ISSO for 19 years. She is a native of the area, but has also lived in England, Colorado and, briefly, Indonesia. In her spare time, she likes to dance, make music, bike, run, garden, paint and kayak. Laura loves the Ithaca community, and never tires of the beauty of the region.
Sarah Hilsman, Associate Director for Student Immigration Services
Sarah came to Cornell in 1980 for her undergraduate degree in Government, then transferred to Fine Arts and has worked at Cornell off and on since then. She started at the ISSO in 2002 after advising international students at University of Texas at Austin. Although Sarah grew up partially in Manhattan, she far preferred her adventures in the woods and fields as a kid in a tiny town in Connecticut famous for Lyme Disease (Lyme, CT). She has traveled in India, Turkey and Italy among other places. Sarah has a college-aged daughter and enjoys yoga.
Adriana Rovers, Associate Director for Programming Services
Adriana began working for Cornell in 1995, and at the ISSO a little over 12 years ago. She is the Associate Director for Programming Services. Coming to the ISSO was a great career move and has been a very rewarding experience. Her family is from the Netherlands, and her parents immigrated to Canada after the second World War. Her parents' experience has made her especially sensitive to the challenges that many internationals face when arriving in a new country. Outside of the office in her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her four grown daughters who are all world travelers, flower gardening, 1890's house restoration projects, traveling, and keeping physically active with swing and cajun/zydeco dancing, biking and hiking.
Elizabeth Shedd, Immigration Advisor and Program Coordinator
Elizabeth has been at the ISSO for a little over seven years. She's originally from the Washington, DC area but grew up in Ithaca, and has attended school in Ireland and France. She's traveled throughout Europe but unfortunately hasn't see the Scandinavian countries (yet). When she's not at the ISSO, you can find her cooking, writing, watching movies or dancing.
Bill Webster, Immigration Data Specialist
Bill is responsible for monitoring and maintaining international student and scholar data. He is an avid mountain biker, skier and motorcyclist.
Steve Shumway, Administrative Manager
Steve has been employed at Cornell since 1989 and has spent the last eleven years at the ISSO. When not at work, he enjoys immersing himself in nature -- hiking, canoeing, and cross-country skiing are his favorite pursuits. He spends as much time as possible in the Adirondack Park of northern New York state. In fact, Steve and his wife Fran have successfully climbed all 46 of the high peaks of the Adirondack mountains.
Scott Beemer, Immigration and Programming Assistant
Scott has been with the ISSO for seven years. A Cornell graduate from the Class of 2003, Scott majored in government and history. He traveled to Japan after graduation and taught English in two high schools through the JET Program. He worked at the Johnson School from his return to the United States in 2005 until he joined the ISSO. Scott is the father of three young children. He enjoys travel, creative writing, and photography.
Amanda Hooker, Immigration and Programming Assistant
Amanda joined the ISSO in August 2009. She is originally from Whitney Point, NY, just south of Ithaca. Amanda started her career at Cornell in 2007 in the Student Employment office and has since worked in Alumni Affairs and Development and University Communications. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and also enjoys reading, sewing, finding hidden waterfalls, and wine tours in the beautiful Finger Lakes region. Amanda is extremely excited to be working in ISSO and enjoys meeting (and helping) people from all over the world.
Adam Blakeslee, Immigration and Programming Assistant
Adam is a native Ithacan who began his career with Cornell University in 2004 and with the ISSO in 2010. Adam has spent many years in the hospitality industry working both in Ithaca and Cape Cod, always striving to provide exemplary service. While not serving the international community at the ISSO, Adam enjoys spending time with his family and dogs Ocho and Odie. His other activities include; serving as captain of his billiards team, playing ice hockey, travelling, home brewing and completing projects on his house. He has spent time in Peru, venturing to both Machu Pichu and Choquequirao.
Immigration News
The online registration period for the 2016 Diversity Visa Program (DV-2016) began on Wednesday, October 1, 2014, at noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4), and will conclude on Monday, November 3, 2014, at noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Complete information can be found on the Diversity Lottery web page.
The annual Diversity Visa program makes 50,000 permanent residence visas available to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States who meet the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. Applicants for Diversity Visas are chosen by a computer-generated random lottery drawing. Go to the Diversity Lottery web page for all the details and how to apply.
Please Note: A few internationals have received spam emails from a group pretending to be the Diversity Lottery Office, supposedly notifying recipients that they have won the diversity lottery. These emails are definitely fake! If you are selected for a green card by the diversity lottery, the diversity lottery office will notify you by regular mail NOT by email.
Graduating after this semester? Apply EARLY for F-1 OPT! If you are graduating this fall semester, and you want to work on F-1 OPT after graduating, APPLY EARLY for your F-1 Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization. The application does go to the immigration service centers and these applications have slowed down a great deal in recent months. It can take 3 months to receive their OPT work cards. You may start applying NOW if you will graduate after this Fall semester. Please read about OPT, and download an application from our OPT web pages or come to one of our workshops on F-1 work authorization.
Fall 2014 Graduates: Discuss your Future Plans with ISSO! If you are graduating from Cornell this December/January and you plan to stay in the U.S. to either work or to pursue another degree, please come to the ISSO to discuss your plans. In order to maintain your valid immigration status in the U.S., there are specific procedures you will need to complete in order to do any of the following:
- to work while in F-1 status after you graduate
- to work while in J-1 student status after you graduate
- to go on to another degree at a Cornell
- to go on to another degree at a different school
Check with the ISSO advisor on duty about any of the above or any other plans you may have after you graduate.

The ISSO's Electronic Lists: A Summary
The ISSO has three different electronic mailing lists, each with a distinctly different purpose. ISSO-NEWS-L is required all currently registered international students. The ISSO uses this list to send students important immigration-related updates and reminders, as well as our monthly electronic newsletter. Students are automatically added (or removed) from the list each academic year, and only ISSO list administrators may post announcements. If you are a currently registered international student and think you are not receiving list postings, please contact email@example.com to request that we add you.
iPrograms-L Join this e-list if you are interested in receiving announcements specifically about ISSO trips, programs, and non-immigration services. This list has open membership (meaning anyone is welcome to join), but only ISSO list administrators may post announcements.
International-L This list has been established by the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) to facilitate communication and camaraderie within the international community at Cornell. Cornell's international community is comprised of international students and visiting academic staff (past, present & future,) their family members, and other members of the Cornell and Ithaca community who share an interest in international & cultural affairs.
You may use this list to post announcements of upcoming events, find information, meet new friends, or discuss current events and issues of local or global concern. Anyone is welcome to join this list, and your opinions are welcome, but please be respectful of others. The ISSO reserves the right to remove members who post messages that are offensive, obscene, or personally attack a list member. Also keep in mind that replies to this list will go to all members of the list, so if you wish to respond privately to a message, please check your "TO" line before sending your reply.
For information about joining iPrograms-L or International-L, visit http://www.isso.cornell.edu/about/interl.php.

Community News, Announcements & Information
Fraud Alert: Scam Phone Calls Target International Students
The ISSO and the Cornell Police have received numerous reports of a scam targeting international students. Chief Kathy Zoner of the Cornell Police has asked us to share the following information:
Most times, the caller insists that you, the receiver, are in trouble (at risk for deportation, arrest or other official-sounding issues). In order to alleviate your troubles, the caller asks you to purchase a money card in a substantial amount of US Dollars and read that money card's numbers over the phone to the caller, thereby allowing him to take the funds.
This may happen once, or the caller may call back and try again. The caller may use increasingly persuasive or coercive language to threaten to take action if you do not comply. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE! YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND IN ANY WAY.
If you have been contacted by a person pretending to be from an agency as listed above, and the caller attempts to get you to give him or her money for any reason, please hang up and call 607-255-1111 and ask to speak to an officer. You will be put in contact with a real law enforcement officer who will ask you about your phone conversation and relay all information to our investigators for follow up.
For more details, please see the full statement from the Cornell Police.
Greetings from Gannett Health Services
Welcome international students. Gannett is pleased to offer you a range of medical, counseling, and health promotion services that can support you in your academic pursuits and in your enjoyment of life at Cornell. We encourage to learn more about our services, as well as the topics listed on the left of this page, including tips for new international students at Cornell.
Gannett staff members understand that seeking medical care can be a complex process, particularly in a new country where the philosophy and approach to health care may be quite different from what you are accustomed to. The Gannett web site offers specific information I hope will assist you in learning more about how the US health-care system and medical insurance work.
Live In or Work For the Language House
Become comfortably fluent in one of our target languages: Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish!
The Language House houses 54 undergraduate students, who are working to develop their language skills as well as 6 paid Native Speakers who serve as language mentors and activity coordinators. Each section dines together 4 times per week, has weekly conversation hours and participate in other activities. Activities might include debating in model UNs, cooking a traditional meal, playing board games, watching foreign movies, practicing calligraphy, taking salsa lessons, etc. A Faculty Fellow also works with each language section to enhance programming. Once a year each language section may also take a cultural immersion trip to a nearby area or a research trip somewhere more distant, funding pending.
We are currently recruiting students and Native Speakers for the 2015-16 academic year.
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE DECEMBER 5th, 2014
Student residents must be full-time, enrolled undergraduate Cornell students and have a conversational grasp of the target language. Interviews will be conducted to assess language skills, if necessary.
Native Speaker staff must be Cornell graduate students or upperclassmen. They serve as language mentors and activity coordinators and are compensated with a free room in Boldt Hall and a partial meal plan. For more details, please visit the website.
If you would like to visit the Language House to get a feel for the program, you are welcome to join us for an evening meal or other activity. Please email me so that I can arrange a time for you come.

Arena: Reed Arena (12,989)
Talent: : Melissa Lee and Maria Taylor
Radio: KTGR 100.5 / 103.1 FM
MU: Robin Pingeton (St. Ambrose `90) 39-43 at MU (third season)
UA: Gary Blair (Texas Tech `72) 227-95 at TAMU (10th season)
|Texas A&M
Mizzou Arena
Late Run Pushes Aggies Past Tigers, 56-52
Freshman guard Morgan Eye led the way for Mizzou, as her career-high 19 points put the Tigers (10-14, 0-13) in a position to upset the 14th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (18-6, 9-4) Tuesday (Feb. 14) night in Mizzou Arena. A late 11-0 run by the Aggies was the difference, though, as the defending national champions squeaked past the gutsy Tigers, 56-52. Christine Flores added 20 points in the tough effort, and BreAnna Brock added nine of her own.
Missouri will face former Big 12, and current SEC, foe, Texas A&M on Sunday in a nationally televised contest at 2:30 p.m. The Tigers have a 7-12 record against the Aggies in program history, with the last meeting coming on Feb. 14, 2012 at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers fell to the then-No. 14 Aggies, 56-52. The last time Missouri visited Reed Arena was in January of 2012, and the Tigers fell 78-52. The Tigers' last win over Texas A&M came on Feb. 12, 2005 in Columbia, Mo. The Tigers came out with a 63-46 victory over the Aggies.
Texas A&M is 15-5 on the season and has only recorded one loss in conference play, falling to Kentucky, 65-62. Ranked at No. 16 in the AP Top 25 and No. 18 in the USA Today/WBCA Coaches poll, the Aggies were selected to finish third in the league in the SEC preseason coaches poll and junior Kelsey Bone was named to the Preseason All-SEC first team. Named to the Wooden Award midseason Top 20, Bone is currently averaging 17.9 points per game and leads the league with her 9.7 rebounds per game. She is shooting a league-leading 60.8 percent from the field as well.
Missouri returns to Mizzou Arena on Thursday hosting the Florida Gators at 7 p.m., before hosting the Tennessee Lady Volunteers in a 1 p.m. contest on Sunday, Feb. 3.
Mizzou's win over Ole Miss was its 13th of the season, matching its win total from a season ago despite having at least 12 games remaining as the team continues to show signs of growth and development under third-year head coach Robin Pingeton. Mizzou has made at least 13 3-pointers in six games this season, an SEC high this season as Mizzou owns the top six team 3-point shooting performances in the SEC this season and Morgan Eye owns two of the top individual three-point shooting performances in the league so far this season as well.
The Missouri Tigers are 11-2 inside Mizzou Arena this season. In fact Mizzou went on an11-game home winning streak to open the season. The 11-0 start at home was the best since 2005-06 when the Tigers also 11 in a row at home to open the season. Their only loss this season was to No. 6 Kentucky on Jan. 13.
Mizzou Notables at Home This Season
-Mizzou's average margin of victory at home is 17.2 ppg
-The Tigers are shooting a blistering 45.1-percent in home games this season and averaging 77.2 total ppg
-Mizzou has scored at least 80 points in seven of 13 home games this season and at least 90 in three of those
-The Tigers own a 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio at home this season
-Mizzou is averaging 10.5 3-pointers per game at home this season.
Missouri has made 185 three-pointers as a team so far this season. Should the Tigers average 2.9 treys per game through the rest of the season they will match the school record for three-pointers made in a season (214). The SEC record for 3-pointers in a season is 248, meaning the Tigers would need to average 6.3 3-pointers per game to break that mark, which was set in 1994 by South Carolina.
The Tigers continue to play great team basketball under third-year head coach Robin Pingeton and the numbers prove it. Over the first 19 games of the season, Mizzou has assisted on 326 of their 497 field goals (66-percent). The Tigers assisted on 17 of 27 field goals in their last game, a 73-72 overtime won at Ole Miss on Sunday.
Mizzou is third in the SEC, averaging 16.3 assists per game, trailing only Texas A&M (17.4) and Auburn (16.5). Mizzou is also fifth in the league in assist-to-turnover margin at 1.0, just 0.1 shy of first place (three teams, 1.1).
Mizzou has recorded more assists than 15 opponents in games this season after posting 17 at Ole Miss in the Tigers' first road win.
Mizzou's bench has been a huge key to the success of the program this season. In fact, the Tiger bench is outscoring the opponents' bench by an average of 27.4-19.6 while shooting 38.1 percent from the floor to its opponents' 35.1 percent. A big reason for the Tiger production off the bench has been its ability to knock down the trey as Mizzou's bench has hit 122 3-pointers to its opponents' 39.
Mizzou leads the league in defensive rebounding (29.7 per game) and has the second-best defensive rebounding percentage (.711).
Mizzou hit a school-record 18 three-pointers against Auburn. The 18 three-pointers made by the Tigers in the contest are the most ever by an SEC school, shattering the previous best mark of 17 by Ole Miss.
Senior center Liz Smith has been a big part of the Tiger offense this season, and a big part of that is due to her increased efficiency. In fact, coming into the year Smith was just a 31.4-percent shooter and averaged a miniscule 1.5 ppg. This season, Smith has flipped the script and is shooting 52.4-percent from the floor (a 23.3-percent increase from a season ago) while averaging 6.1 ppg. Her rebounding numbers are way up as well as she is grabbing 5.6 boards per game, up from just 1.6 a season ago.
Maddie Stock is ranked 10th in the conference for her 1.6 threes per game. She hit a career-high 22 points against Southern Illinois in just 16 minutes of playing time and went 6-for-7 from behind the arc in the contest.
The Tigers' defense held the Arkansas Razorbacks to a 35.6 shooting percentage - the lowest mark for a Missouri conference opponent this season.
Mizzou held Arkansas-Pine Bluff to only six assists (20.3 per game), the lowest for an opponent this season.
Shooting .846 (11-13) from the field, Sydney Crafton recorded the SEC's second-best single-game goal percentage against SEMO.
Missouri has shot over 40 percent from the field in 13 of 20 games this season and grabbed over 30 rebounds in every contest. Mizzou's best outing came against SIU as the Tigers shot 57.7 percent including a whopping 50-percent from the perimeter.

Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV is on its way to Australia in the form of FreeviewPlus, but what is it, how do you get it, and why should you care?
Although Panasonic's TX-P55VT65 and TX-P42ST60 each garnered five-star reviews as two of the best TVs we've seen all year, they mark the end of plasma.
Freeview is coming to your tablet in the new year to watch and record your favourite broadcast telly wherever you roam.
The FetchTV SmartBox 8000 strikes us as a really cool bit of kit. A Freeview PVR with access to both iPlayer and Sky Player is a terrific idea, as long as you're happy to hand over your credit-card details
The Freeview HD bandwagon has two new passengers, in the form of the 500GB HDT8520 PVR and storage-free DTR5520 from Dutch master Philips
If you were put off by the £300 up front fee, TalkTalk has a broadband plus landline bundle that might tickle your fancy.
Check out our video to see how YouView combines normal TV with online and catch-up services in one box, one remote and one experience.
It may have been a shambles up till now, but Jason is starting to believe YouView could become the way millions of people watch TV.
We're always on the lookout for exciting Freeview PVRs, and the TVonics DTR-HV250 has plenty to get us salivating, including a rather useful HDMI switch
BT broadband customers can get three months' free subscription to streaming games service OnLive.

The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 - In Sheep's Clothing Review
(Score: 7.5/10)
Review by Jickle @ 29th May, 2014
This season has held the player at a bit of a distance and made them watch interesting things unfurl without quite feeling like they're involved, but this episode, at least, lets you feel like you're in control of your reactions to the plot a bit more than previous ones did.

Watch Dogs Review
(Score: 8.9/10)
Review by Steve Farrelly @ 27th May, 2014

The buzz you may have heard is, this is a relatively short campaign that can pretty much be knocked over in roughly two hours, and this is correct. However, what Ground Zeroes does is offer a compelling package of bite-sized replayability baselined with an equally compelling rewards system.

Review by Junglist @ 11th March, 2014
Dark Souls 2 isn't for everyone, or even every moment. It's a "sit forward" game that demands you be mentally present and adaptable. But for those who like to earn their victories -- really earn them -- this is a game in which winning means something more than "I went through the motions and witnessed the end"...

Well I finally got my plain derby shoes with rubber soles yesterday,Loake Waverleys the same last as the Royal and although I have wondered about the toe shape of the Royal in the past I think that it looks good on the plain version.
A pity that Loake only do the Waverley in black though,I think that if they did it in Tan grain leather it would be a very nice looking shoe,and I would definitely buy a pair.
Had a google for Loake Waverleys and they look fine if a bit on the rugged side with the soles. I'm trying to resist searching for a pair of Cleav's black pebble-grain Crockett & Jones boots, as seen early on in this thread.

Solar plane pioneer prepares for US takeoff
Summary: Solar airplane developer Solar Impulse has planned a flight from San Francisco to New York in another step in its quest to provide low-cost, eco-friendly air travel.
3 of 15Image
(Image: Solar Impulse)
First night flight
The first night flight of a solar powered aircraft was flown by André Borschberg and lasted 26 hours, 10 minutes, and 19 seconds. Three world records were set, including one for altitude — 8,744 meters.
(Image: Solar Impulse)
In 2010, the HB-H1B also flew from Geneva to Zurich, Switzerland.
(Image: Wikipedia)
As in the days of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Erhardt, there's only room for one pilot in a solar plane. But who knows what the future will bring? Imagine what an airplane ticket would cost if airlines didn't have to pay for fuel? And just think of the environmental impact — plus the conservation of oil reserves — and less noise.

Dustin Byfuglien's Dirty Hit on Steve Downie following Goal
First, Steve Downie is no saint; he'd probably tell you that. But check out this dirty, unnecessary, bush league hit that Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien put on Downie. This is unacceptable. After the play is over, I believe that Downie has the expectation to not be slambed into the end boards. I don't think that's being unreasonable, right? The play is over, he's scored a goal.
I think the NHL's Department of Players Safety need to make an example out of Byfuglien. I am thinking a couple of game suspension would be about right. Maybe Big Buff should skate faster.

Trib Live: Free Agent Ryan Malone Might Sign with Penguins
This is actually a sad story. I was thinking of catchy title, but drug abuse and addiction is no laughing matter. So, the Penguins now have Car Bomb Carcillo, Steve Downie the hack and Ryan Malone, the same guy that was baffled when the Tampa Bay Police found a bag of coke in his back pocket. I actually hope the former Saint Cloud State Husky can clean up his act and have a successful season.
Jason Mackey, Tribune Live -- With forwards Steve Downie and Daniel Carcillo, the Penguins aren't lacking for potential projects.
Could the return of Upper St. Clair native Ryan Malone be next?
General manager Jim Rutherford isn't saying. But interest on Malone's part is tangible.
"There's a natural attraction there," said Malone's agent, Mike Liut. "He grew up there. He played there. They lost in the (Stanley Cup) Final when he was there. There's that association.
"But management (now) is completely different. I have talked to Pittsburgh about him throughout the summer. They're kicking tires. They've expressed some interest, but it's just that. Which is fine.
"There isn't anything where I can say, 'Hey, this is what we're going to do.' Hopefully I can next week.
Ryan Malone back to the Pens? He's in. Team? Maybe. My #TribHKY story from today: http://t.co/1AmpUcFIZU

Minnesota Wild: The second most exciting time of the year
Tomorrow is one of the most exciting times of the year. Starting at 11:00 A.M. Central, the 2014 NHL free agent signing period begins. I like many other Wild fans, are excited to see who the Minnesota Wild end up signing. Will there be some former WCHA players calling Saint Paul, MN home? Looks like the Wild aren't looking for long term commitments, either.
Chad Graff, Pioneer Press - Thomas Vanek, 30, is a pure scorer, the type the Wild lacked last season when they finished 24th in goals scored, netting 2.43 per game.
Matt Niskanen, 27, is coming off the best season of his career, having scored 10 goals and recorded 36 assists and a team-best plus-33 rating for the Penguins. He would instantly upgrade the Wild's defense.
But at what cost?
That's what Fletcher is trying to determine in the final days before free agency begins.
With Vanek and Niskanen interested in hearing the Wild's pitch, Fletcher's decision on the two free agents ultimately might be defined more by years than price.

More reasons to not like the Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguin defenseman Ulf Samuelsson was one of the dirtiest players to play the game of hockey, now he's in the running for the the Penguins head coaching job. More reasons to not like the Penguins.
TSN.CA -- New York Rangers assistant coach and former NHL defenceman Ulf Samuelsson is on the list of candidates who's interviewed for the head coaching job with the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Dreger reported on Tuesday that the Hurricanes sought permission from the Rangers to interview Samuelsson for their coaching vacancy.
Samuelsson played 16 seasons in the NHL with lenghty stints in both Pittsburgh and with the former Hartford Whalers.

Penguins fire coach after he leads team to 109 point season
Nothing like waiting till Friday afternoon to make a bunch of personnel moves, but it happened. I am sure none of us should be shocked that Dan Bylsma was fired by the Pittsburgh Penguins today, because we were told that it was probably coming. Bylsma's crime, his team didn't make it past the second round of the NHL playoffs. Wrap your finger around this, Bylsma led his team to a 51 win, 109 points season. No seriously.
Bylsma is a good coach and won't be unemployed very long. The Grand Haven product led the Pengiuns to a 252-117-32 (.628) in five plus seasons.
Pierre McGuire will not be the GM of the Pengiuns, Jim Rutherford hired
Hockey fans got some bad news today. TSN's Bob McKenzie is reporting that Jim Rutherford will reportedly be named Penguins GM.
Chris Peters, CBS Sports -- Jim Rutherford will be named general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. Rutherford, who earlier this spring stepped aside from his duties as general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, had been the dean of NHL general managers having spent 20 consecutive years with the Carolina organization.
Other rumored candidates for the job included Pens assistant general manager Jason Botterill, NBC analyst Pierre McGuire, Tampa Bay Lightning assistant general manager Julien BriseBois and a number of others.
Rutherford stepped aside from GM duties, but was expected to stay on with Carolina as the club's president. He was replaced by Hurricanes legend and former Penguin Ron Francis.

TSN, McGuire has second interview for Penguins' GM post
Here's the latest on the Pierre McGuire applying for the Pittsburgh Penguins general manager position. Cross your fingers folks.
TSN.ca Staff -- The Pittsburgh Penguins may be looking into their past for potential general manager candidates.
According to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal, sources say former Penguins assistant coach and current TV analyst Pierre McGuire has had two interviews with the team.
The Penguins fired Ray Shero last month after the team gave up a 3-1 series lead before being eliminated by the New York Rangers in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
McGuire was part of Scotty Bowman's coaching staff when the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 1992.

Pierre McGuire to the Pens as GM. Yes Please...
For hockey fans' sake, I am hoping that Pierre McGuire will become the next General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins. As an NHL Hockey fan, I can't stand listening to McGuire as a between the boards analyst. I also know that I am not the only hockey fan that feels this way. Don't get me wrong, MacGuire knows the game of hockey, he's just very irritating to listen to on a weekly basis.
Despite McGuire's shortcomings, his contacts, outsider perspective and hockey knowledge would be helpful for #Pens business-minded leaders
— Mike Colligan (@MikeColligan) June 2, 2014
Still hearing that Pierre McGuire is a legitimate contender for #Pens GM job. Still don't buy it. My guess: he's part of GM search committee

Is Pierre Maguire going to the Pens?
I would imagine that NHL hockey fans in the USA would cheer on such a move, unless you're a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Think of it this way, NHL fans in the USA would no longer have to listen to NBC Sports NHL analyst Pierre Maguire as he annoys fans from between the players boxes. As a regular NHL viewer, I would applaud such a move.
Bob Pompeani Show --- Scotty Bowman worked closely with NBC Sports NHL analyst Pierre Maguire who has been rumored to be a possible candidate for the open general manager position with the Pens.
He tells Bob that Maguire has been a candidate recently for many open positions and that he has a real desire to return to a team.
"He has a good broad knowledge of amateur hockey," Bowman said. "But the big thing he has going for him for me is that he has a lot of connections. He has kept up with the hockey league. He is a hard worker. His knowledge of the NHL would be very high for sure."

Pens to fire head coach Dan Bylsma?
First, I think that Dan Bylsma is a very good hockey coach. I find it puzzling that the Pens ownership is going to blame the head coach for Sidney Crosby scoring (1g-8a—9pts) in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games. I find that troubling that the head coach is always to blame when a team loses. Bylsma did win a Stanley Cup during the 2008-09 season.
If Bylsma is fired, and he probably will be, he will get a new coaching job very quickly. Some ownership group is going to want him to be their next head coach. I think the biggest issue is that the Penguins don't have a tough guy to protect Crosby and Evgeni Malkin from all of the extra bravo sierra that they have had deal with on the ice. Like I mentioned earlier this week, if Wayne Gretzky had to put up with this garbage Crosby has during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, there would have been blood on the ice.
Rob Rossi, Trib Live --- Those questions already were being asked by majority co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle and CEO David Morehouse.I am not a Penguins fan, but I have been taken back by how many fans are calling for his head. This past season Bylsma lead the Penguins went 51-24-7 record and finished first in the Metropolitan Division. That's a very respectable finish and it's very hard to win in the NHL playoffs.
Penguins ownership will consider a sweeping overhaul that could include terminating general manager Ray Shero in addition to Dan Bylsma and the members of the coaching staff, multiple sources told the Tribune-Review. Ownership specifically is concerned about a perceived lack of accountability for players, overall team toughness and unproductive drafts, the sources said.
The sources also said Penguins ownership might not want to undergo a complete front-office shakeup with only about a month before the NHL Entry Draft.
No decisions have been made, and they will not be rushed, the sources said.
Shero and Bylsma have two years remaining on their contracts. Shero signed Bylsma and top assistants Tony Granato and Todd Reirden to extensions a few days after the Penguins were swept from the conference final by Boston last June

(Video) Sidney Crosby cup checks Dominic Moore after being mugged by him
First, I am not a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins by any stretch of the imagination, but in this case I don't blame Sidney Crosby for being upset. Shouldn't the ref call the penalties as they present themselves? The blatant holding the stick, is a penalty in high school, college and in the NHL.
The treatment that Crosby has been given during the playoffs, that has gone uncalled is ridiculous. Does the NHL want their star players out with injuries or concussions?
Also, what is Crosby supposed to do? Dominic Moore has Sid's stick and won't let go, that's should be a penalty, so Crosby stuck him. While we don't want to see players spearing their opponents, sometimes the opponents should expect "something" in return, especially when they do stuff like this.
You have to give kudos to Chris Kunitz for sticking up for his fellow teammate as well. Can you imagine what former Oilers tough guy Dave Semenko would have done, if someone had done this to Wayne Gretzky? There would have been blood on the ice.

(Video) Marc Staal Cross-Checks Sidney Crosby
I was on YouTube looking for something else when I came across this video. Anyone wonder why some of the star players like Sidney Crosby might not be scoring as many goals as they do during the regular season.
#becauseitsthecup ... Even thought it's the playoffs, cross-checking your opponent in the head is still a penalty, right? It should be. This should be called, this is a dirty hit and should be a five-minute major in my opinion. Thoughts?

Henrik Lundqvist: Rangers Consistent Star when Struggling to Score
Well the New York Rangers will have their work cut out for them if they are able to surpass the offensive talented Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, especially after the grinding seven game series against the Flyers. However, the Rangers do have one trump card in their hands, and that is goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
With the New York Ranger power play being terrible in these playoffs, not getting many scoring chances and giving up shorthanded rushes, Lundqvist has always been there to save the day. Hank is posting a 2.07 goals against average and a .926 save percentage, which are outstanding numbers in any league, but has a playoff record of 5-4 because the lack of offensive support for the annual Vezina Trophy worthy goaltender.
So far in the series against Pittsburgh, two games, "King" Henrik has made 36 and 34 saves respectively only allowing two goals in each of those contests. The Rangers need to start to find ways to put pucks in the net to support their goalie, who is giving the Rangers chances to finish games in the win column every single night.
As addressed briefly earlier, the Rangers are struggling putting pucks in the net, especially from their power play and big gun Rick Nash. Their power play has hit just three times out of 37 attempts, or at a 8.1% success rate. You can't get very far in the playoffs if you aren't scoring with the extra man.
Now for the struggles of superstar power forward Rick Nash not being able to find the net. Going into tonight, Nash lead the NHL during the playoffs in shots on goal with 37, but has yet to find the twine. One can only think that he will break through soon and open the floodgates, but will it be too little too late against the offensive powerhouse Penguins? Maybe, but if Sidney Crosby ends his goal scoring troubles before Nash, and the rest of the Rangers are able to find the net more, this series doesn't go more than five games unless Hank is able to steal the Rangers some victories.

Penguins Keep Finding Ways Without Crosby Scoring Goals
Tonight was the eighth game of the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins and they notched victory five of the 16 needed to win the Stanley Cup tonight. Nothing too strange about this right? Wrong. Sidney Crosby has yet to score a goal in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and it's driving Pittsburgh fans nuts.
I am seeing all over social media of Pittsburgh fans ripping on their captain, saying he isn't playing well because he is not scoring goals for the black and gold. What they fail to realize is that Crosby has been almost a point per game clip in assists for the Penguins in the playoffs thus far.
Tonight's game was a prime example of that. Crosby was creating scoring chances whenever he was on the ice and the only thing keeping him off the score sheet was Henrik Lundqvist. So for all you Crosby "haters," have faith in your captain. He is the best offensive player in the entire world. Even Wayne Gretzky had a streak of 12 playoff games where he would not net a goal. So even the best have slumps.
Switching to the defensive side of the puck, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has also been getting a lot of grief from the Penguins faithful as of late. Yes he isn't the Flower of the Stanley Cup 2009 team, but he still is a very solid goaltender. Tonight was a prime example of that.
Personally I am a Marc-Andre fleury fan. He plays a real solid butterfly and generally is not out of position. He had a real solid season this year, but wasn't spectacular by NHL fans standards.
None the less, the Penguins are finding ways to win games in the playoffs and keep pushing for Stanley Cup number four. Fans just need to keep being fans and support your team. No player is perfect and will go through "slumps," and let in bad goals every now and then.

3-1 Leads Not Nice in Jackets Penguins Series
One would think that if you would have a 3-1 lead in the third period of a hockey game, the odds of you winning the game would be pretty good right? Try explaining that to the Blue Jackets and Penguins. Both teams have come into the game tonight spotting 3-1 leads in each of the first three games, Columbus in game one and three, and Pittsburgh in game two. In each instance, the team who had that lead would lose.
As for tonight, Pittsburgh would jump to an early 3-0 lead, and would look as if they were going to cruise to victory against this Blue Jackets team, who on paper doesn't match up to the mighty Penguins. Columbus would score late to be down 3-1 late in the first and go into the locker room down at that score. One has to wonder if the Penguins had that stat from the first three games in the back of their heads in the locker room, or if they were told to protect the lead.
Columbus would chip away at the two goal Penguin lead, and make it 3-2 in the second. At this point one starts wondering if it could happen again. Could another 3-1 lead be blown and the victory be 4-3 for the fourth straight game?
With under a minute left in the third, and the Jackets goalie on the bench, the hometown kid, Brandon Dubinsky, would tie the game at three and would send it to overtime. Once again a 3-1 lead is blown, and once again the final score would be 4-3. In recent memory, I can never remember a series being like this one. One where the team who scores first has lost every single time. The one where every final score was 4-3, and most of all, one where a 3-1 lead is blown in every single game.
None the less, the game goes to overtime and just 2:49 into the period, the game is over. Nick Folingo would fire, what looked to be a harmless shot, from just inside the blue line on the left side of the zone, and somehow would get by Penguin goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
If you would have told me after game one that this series would have a game six, let alone two Jackets wins, I would have laughed at you. The Penguins looked as if they came into this series very cocky and thinking they would have to go five games max to end this series.
This series actually reminds me a lot of the Wild and Avalanche in 2003. Nobody gave Minnesota a chance, but the hard working Wild fought their way to the second round, getting passed the stacked Colorado Avalanche. It's the same situation in this series, although Columbus didn't win game one and have to fight off a 3-1 deficit in this series.
I can't wait to see how the rest of this series plays out and I think there could possibly be an upset in the making, sending the Penguins, and their fans, home with a sour taste in their mouths, just like the Avalanche back in 2003.
As for tonight, Pittsburgh would jump to an early 3-0 lead, and would look as if they were going to cruise to victory against this Blue Jackets team, who on paper doesn't match up to the mighty Penguins. Columbus would score late to be down 3-1 late in the first and go into the locker room down at that score.

None the less, the game goes to overtime and just 2:49 into the period, the game is over. Nick Folingo would fire, what looked to be a harmless shot, from just inside the blue line on the left side of the zone, and somehow would get by Penguin goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
If you would have told me after game one that this series would have a game six, let alone two Jackets wins, I would have laughed at you. The Penguins looked as if they came into this series very cocky and thinking they would have to go five games max to end this series.
This series actually reminds me a lot of the Wild and Avalanche in 2003. Nobody gave Minnesota a chance, but the hard working Wild fought their way to the second round, getting passed the stacked Colorado Avalanche. It's the same situation in this series, although Columbus didn't win game one and have to fight off a 3-1 deficit in this series.
I can't wait to see how the rest of this series plays out and I think there could possibly be an upset in the making, sending the Penguins, and their fans, home with a sour taste in their mouths, just like the Avalanche back in 2003.
David Savard slash on Chris Kunitz, Kunitz gets diving penalty
Disclosure time, I can be tough on the officials, I admit that. It's well documented. In this case, I think that the officials got the first call right, but made the second half of the call wrong.
Let me explain, you definitely have a penalty on David Savard for slashing; he hit Chris Kunitz in the hands with his stick. That's a text book penalty, the ref is supposed to call that. The diving call on Kunizt is kind of a tough call. It's not like Kunitz leapt to the ice retching in pain and flailing about. He fell down after being hit with a carbon fiber stick.

This video describes the impact of extreme heat on Philadelphia in the summer of 2011 and how the city is adapting to new expectations about its weather. It uses this example to introduce the new national climate normals, released by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) that summer.
In this EarthLabs activity, learners explore the concepts of coral bleaching, bleaching hot spots and degree-heating weeks. Using data products from NOAA's Coral Reef Watch, students identify bleaching hot spots and degree-heating weeks around the globe as well as in the Florida Keys' Sombrero Reef to determine the impact higher-than-normal sea surface temperatures have on coral reefs.
Two simple experiments/demonstrations show the role of plants in mitigating the acidification caused when CO2 is dissolved in water.
Activity is a Project BudBurst/National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) exploration of eco-climactic domains, as defined by NEON, by investigating characteristics of a specific domain and studying two representative plants in that domain.
These graphs show carbon dioxide measurements at the Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii. The graphs display recent measurements as well as historical long term measurements. The related website summarizes in graphs the recent monthly CO2, the full CO2 Record, the annual Mean CO2 Growth Rate, and gives links to detailed CO2 data for this location, which is one of the most important CO2 sites in the world.
This interactive diagram from the National Academy of Sciences shows how we rely on a variety of primary energy sources (solar, nuclear, hydro, wind, geothermal, natural gas, coal, biomass, oil) to supply energy to four end-use sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation). It also focuses on lost or degraded energy.
This video addresses two ways in which black carbon contributes to global warming - when in the atmosphere, it absorbs sunlight and generates heat, warming the air; when deposited on snow and ice, it changes the albedo of the surface. The video is effective in communicating about a problem frequently underrepresented in discussions of climate change and also public health.
The Climate Momentum Simulation allows users to quickly compare the resulting sea level rise, temperature change, atmospheric CO2, and global CO2 emissions from six different policy options: 1) Business As Usual, 2) March 2009 Country Proposals, 3) Flatten CO2 emissions by 2025, 4) 29% below 2009 levels by 2040, 5) 80% reduction of global fossil fuel plus a 90% reduction in land use emissions by 2050, and 6) 95 reduction of CO2 emissions by 2020). Based on the more complex C-ROADS simulator.
This activity leads students through a sequence of learning steps that highlight the embedded energy that is necessary to produce various types of food. Students start by thinking through the components of a basic meal and are later asked to review the necessary energy to produce different types of protein.
In this activity students download satellite images displaying land surface temperature, snow cover, and reflected short wave radiation data from the NASA Earth Observation (NEO) Web site. They then explore and animate these images using the free tool ImageJ and utilize the Web-based analysis tools built into NEO to observe, graph, and analyze the relationships among these three variables.
