The Landscape: While modern China's big cities usually have poor viewing conditions, the country has a rich tradition of stargazing (one of the world's earliest observatories was built in Beijing during the 15th-century Ming Dynasty). The dramatic Yangtze River valley, with its monumental Three Gorges Dam project, offers both stunning daytime scenery and comparatively clear night skies.
The Skyscape: The Chinese have kept meticulous records of solar eclipses for thousands of years (traditionally interpreting them as inauspicious omens), and on July 22, 2009, a five-minute total solar eclipse will cast its shadow over the Yangtze River valley.
How to Experience It: The stargazing-themed tour operator MWT Associates (www.melitatrips.com) offers a two-week China trip in July 2009 to coincide with the solar eclipse; the itinerary includes explorations of Beijing and Xian, and a cruise up the Yangtze River from Chongqing to Shanghai.

The Landscape: The rolling hills of Tuscany—already well known for their terrestrial beauty—are one of the first places where 17th-century astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei first turned his seminal invention, the refracting telescope, to the sky.
The Skyscape: Tuscany is the perfect place to view some of the very space phenomena that Galileo first observed—like sunspots, the mountainous surface of the moon, and Jupiter's four moons (now known as the Galilean moons).
How to Experience It: In October 2009, Smithsonian Journeys (www.smithsonianjourneys.org) offers a weeklong "In the Footsteps of Galileo" tour, which brings participants to the Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory outside Florence (on the very hill where Galileo spent his final years in exile). The tour also includes a visit to Florence's Institute and Museum of the History of Science (where Galileo's telescopes and compasses are displayed) and to a variety of other Galileo-related sites in Padua, Venice, and Pisa.

The Landscape: The largest game reserve in South Africa, Kruger encompasses more than 7,300 square miles—and is home to the famous "Big Five" (lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and water buffalo), along with many high-end safari lodges.
The Skyscape: Kruger's flat savanna and bushveld, far removed from pollution and sources of artificial light, make excellent terrain for training binoculars on the Southern Cross, Scorpio, and the rings of Saturn.
How to Experience It: At Singita Game Reserves, set in the far eastern reaches of the park, guides trained in astronomy lead game drives in open-air Jeeps every day at dusk. These give guests the chance to enjoy champagne and hors d'oeuvres under the stars, often accompanied by the roars of not-so-distant lions.

The Landscape: More than 2,300 miles from the U.S. mainland and studded with high volcanic peaks, the islands of Hawaii have evolved into one of the world's premier astronomy destinations.
The Skyscape: Celestial Northern Hemisphere favorites—including the Milky Way, the bands of Jupiter, and the constellations of Ursa Major and Orion—can be seen with a wonderful clarity here.
How to Experience It: At Maui's Haleakala National Park (www.nps.gov/hale), which is dominated by 10,000-foot Mount Haleakala, rangers lead star-watching walks many evenings from May through October (visitors can also pick up "star maps" at the park headquarters). Oahu's Astro Tours Hawaii (www.astrotourshawaii.com) hosts stargazing programs at its private observatory near Waikiki. And on the Big Island, high above the town of Hilo on the slopes of 13,796-foot Mauna Kea, Mauna Kea Summit Adventures (www.maunakea.com) offers stargazing tours beneath the mountain's snowcapped peak, using portable telescopes to navigate the solar system.

The Landscape: About 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle, not far from Sweden's border with Norway and Finland, remote Kiruna will soon become the center of space tourism in Europe. It's home to Esrange Space Center (www.ssc.se/esrange), a space research center responsible for everything from satellite design to rocket and stratospheric balloon launches. Plans are under way to develop Esrange into a spaceport, from which private companies will one day sell journeys into space to curious (and wealthy) customers.
The Skyscape: The biggest draw this far north is, naturally, the awe-inspiring aurora borealis, or northern lights—glowing, colorful, wavy bands of light that ripple across the night sky. (These occur when particles driven from the sun by solar wind become trapped and magnetically charged in Earth's upper atmosphere.)
How to Experience It: Wintertime guests at the famous Icehotel (www.icehotel.com/Winter)—set 11 miles from Kiruna in the village of Jukkasjärvi—can, in addition to snowshoeing and ice-sculpting, take guided tours of Esrange; they can also "picnic" outside while gazing up at the northern lights through high-powered binoculars.

The Seascape: Hundreds of miles from major light and pollution sources, the southern Caribbean islands—St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines among them—make for outstanding stargazing. Getting off the land entirely, though, and out into the open sea, is even better.
The Skyscape: Given its proximity to the equator in the Tropic of Cancer, the Caribbean offers a particularly bright view of objects in the celestial equator—like the constellations of Canis Minor, Aquarius, and Eridanus.
How to Experience It: On four different Caribbean cruises throughout late November and December, Cunard Line (www.cunard.com) is partnering with Britain's Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) to present a series of astronomy programs on board the iconic ocean liner the Queen Mary 2. Cruise guests can attend "star parties" hosted on deck by distinguished RAS Fellows, along with lectures about everything from the cosmic history of water to the Greek mythology rooted in the constellations. Guests can also take advantage of the QM2's onboard planetarium, the only floating one in the world.

The Landscape: Roswell jokes aside, New Mexico really does have a distinct relationship with space exploration. Blessed with high altitudes and clear, vapor-free skies, the state is home to the series of massive (82-foot-diameter) radio astronomy antennas known as the Very Large Array—featured in the movie Contact—as well as Spaceport America, a 27-square-mile commercial spaceport under construction near White Sands Missile Range.
The Skyscape: New Mexico's soaring mountains allow exceptional views of Venus and Mercury, along with many constellations popularized in local indigenous art and lore (like Orion, Gemini, and Taurus).
How to Experience It: To watch the night skies, guests staying in the simple, contemporary cabins at New Mexico Skies (www.nmskies.com)—an overnight guest observatory in the pine-scented Sacramento Mountains 130 miles northeast of El Paso—can rent high-powered, pier-mounted binoculars or other visual-use telescopes (which allow them to view through an eyepiece), or book one of six private observatory domes equipped with state-of-the-art imaging telescopes (which transmit sky views to a computer screen).

The Landscape: The 5,436-foot Arenal Volcano, in northwestern Costa Rica, is one of the world's most active. Though the last major eruption took place in 1968, rivers of bright-orange lava often pour down Arenal's precipitous slopes (anywhere from several times daily to several times monthly).
The Skyscape: Astronomically, Costa Rica is one of the few places above the equator where the Magellanic Clouds, two galaxies first identified by explorer Ferdinand Magellan in the 1520's, are visible. Visitors during the dry season, from mid-December through mid-April, have the best chance of seeing them.
How to Experience It: At the Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort (www.tabacon.com), set right at the base of the volcano's western slope, guests can soak in one of the dozen thermal hot springs while taking in the nightly light shows—not just stars, but colorful lava eruptions.

The Landscape: Known primarily for the other kind of stars (celebrities), and for its blanket of smog, L.A. might not seem like an ideal place to constellation-gaze. But the presence of the iconic Griffith Observatory (www.griffithobs.org), perched high atop Mount Hollywood, makes it a worthwhile astronomical destination.
The Skyscape: Depending on the time of year, visible objects that can be seen from the observatory include Jupiter and Venus, assorted double stars, clusters, and nebulae. And with the facility's powerful telescopes, you can get an incredibly detailed view of the moon and its craggy surface.
How to Experience It: Originally famous for its star turn in the 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause, the observatory completed a $93 million renovation and expansion in 2006. Among the new offerings that visitors can take advantage of: shows in the reconstructed Samuel Oschin Planetarium, which uses the world's most advanced star projector to present dazzling shows about the cosmos; evening telescope-viewing on the lawn; and monthly free "star parties" hosted by members of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society and Los Angeles Sidewalk Astronomers association.

PROVIDENCE — It wasn't your typical Halloween party after school Thursday in the Classical High School library.
Students visiting from Japan practiced English with their American hosts, and Classical students practiced Japanese with the visitors, and all enjoyed pizza.
This summer about 25 Classical students went on a 10-day, all-expenses-paid visit to Japan, staying for part of the visit with Japanese families. The Japanese students are returning the favor by visiting Rhode Island and staying with Classical students and their families.
Stacy Vang had been the guest of Kana Susuta last summer in Japan. It's a good thing they had already met because Vang was made up with a zipper glued to her partially darkened face to achieve the effect of a monster emerging from a human costume.
Dressed as a samurai chicken, Itohisa Karuki said Japanese people know about Halloween, but the holiday is not as popular in Japan as in the United States.
Many of the American students taking a Japanese language course know about anime, so the visitors made a PowerPoint presentation about their culture. Dressed as Pokemon's Professor Ork, Shinnosuke Sakaya explained that "watching Japanese anime is a good way to know Japan." One reason: Pokemon's former enemy becomes an ally, illustrating the Japanese principle, as the presentation said, "The yesterday's enemy is today's friend."
The Japanese idea of ichigoichie, or once-in-a-lifetime chance, is also part of what students learn from Pokemon. Anime gets across the importance of friendships, trusting relationships, growing up with rivals and, in the ichigoichie tradition, treasuring encounters.

Pulitzer-winning Jim Morin takes on Marco Rubio
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
This would actually be accurate if not for the fact that CHARLIE CRIST is our Governor! Nice try.
As if "Pulitzer-winning" means anything to anyone outside the journalism elite...
There was a cartoon almost identical to this one with Charlie Crist after he announced for senator
Amen! But, would the voters remember his "accomplishments" when casting their votes?
There is no truth in that cartoon. To blame Rubio for the problems mentioned in that scurrilous hate message is pure partisan bile. Newspapers that print this stuff are losing circulation and they wonder why? Stick to facts, reasoned argument and constructive criticism and you might regain some respect. This is trash. If this guy was given a Pulitzer then that "prize" has no more dignity than the Nobel Peace Prize anymore.
Wait! The real scandal is that a cartoonist can win a Pulitzer.
The message of it of course is without merit.
Hey blowhards: Lest ye forget, Rubio was Speaker in the Florida legislature! It is the legislative branch that writes the laws, passes the tax laws, the tax breaks, the tax hikes, the cuts in education, accepts bribes for passing laws in their "constituents" favor, etc. As Speaker, Rubio Supported The "Guns At Work" Bill, Which Passed The Florida House And Eventually Became Law. RUBIO was a part of that. Is that what we need? More guns at work?
Get your government straight! Crist is part of the Executive branch, he does not legislate. He can't raise your taxes. Try boning up on some basic high school government before you sound off.
Beth just can't hide her dislike for Marco Rubio. this cartoon came out in the paper about a week ago which also shows that she doesnt read her own paper. Beth should be re-assigned to another beat because it is becoming painfully clear that she is biased.
When was the last time Beth wrote anything critical of Kendrick Meek? or any Democrat for that matter?
and dont get me started on Morin. Marco Rubio did everything he could to make this State and his Community Better but he was thwarted many times by guess who? Charlie Crist! look at several of the Property tax initiatives Rubio pushed while Speaker that Crist did not support until Rubio was gone and Crist could take credit for them himself.
Also, look at todays cartoon from Morin about Jackson Memorial Hospital. Jacksons failure have nothing to do with the U.S. healthcare debate it has all to do with mismanagement over the years by the Public Health trust. yet Morin chooses to imply that Republicans apposition of Health Care is some how related to Jacksons financial mess.
It is Republicans in the Legislature who have been fighting for years for extra dollars to support Jackson Memorial Hospital and stave off the inevitable situation that it finds itself in now.
Democratic Bias in Journalism is becoming almost laughable.

Box 6.1 A Student Looks for Scholarship Information on the Internet A reasonable place to start is with one of the well-known indexes. Our user might look for the heading "Education" and do a search on "Scholarship Information." This yields two items: "Loan and Scholarship Programs" and "Science: Mathematics: Organizations: Professional: American Mathematical Society." The latter is not of interest to this student, but the former returns 291 sites where the student can seek further information. Because this flood of information is overwhelming, a reasonable response is to go back to "Education'' and follow a link to "Financial Aid." Here the categories are "College Aid Offices" (144), "Companies" (14), "Grants" (35), "Loan and Scholarship Programs" (34), and "Regional Resources" (10). Several of these look attractive, particularly "Loan and Scholarship Programs and Grants." The student does not know where he or she wants to go to college, so the 144 individual offices do not seem to be a good place to look. The prospective student follows a link and finds a site advertising "180,000 scholarships, grants, fellowships, and loans representing billions of dollars." Wow, this is getting interesting! The student is asked to enter a major but does not want to commit to one. Hitting "go" gives an error message. Trying "undecided," "none," and "science" leads to frustration. There is a button labeled "more." Here the student is asked to enter name, address, and more information. But he or she may not want to provide such information. Following a previously discovered link, the user can find a list of special loan and scholarship programs, but they all turn out to be narrowly aimed at such groups as beauty contest winners, specialists in cardiac electrophysiology, and so forth. Following yet another idea, the student looks for military-based scholarship programs, but the maze of paths is similarly extensive and unrewarding. |
the student's search on the current Internet and obtain a good idea of the state of existing facilities. The student follows a number of reasonable paths, conscientiously reads the entries, and makes selections. However, the search requires a troublesome number of difficult decisions, takes considerable time, and often results in frustration. The student must enter multiple databases that may be formatted in different ways, must interact with each on its own terms, and may have to restate his or her special interests and constraints again and again in each new environment. Eventually, the student will, in all likelihood, become frustrated and decide to ask a high school teacher or guidance counselor for help. Searches of this kind and with this level of success are more the rule than the exception with present-day facilities. If a person wants to access government services, look for merchandise, or report a downed power line, a multiplicity of choices, an inordinate amount of time, and a lack of satisfaction are common experiences.
The main problems are as follows:

According to the authorities, eight of the 10 suspects shown on billboards in the Kansas City, Missouri, area have been arrested, seven of them because of the billboards. But the ads raise legal concerns for Marc Mezibov, a defense attorney in Cincinnati, where the city's first wanted billboard was went up recently.
If a client's face and name were posted on billboards ascribing some horrendous crime to him, I would certainly raise issues with the court about whether he could receive a fair trial

Reasonable Doubt: Stephen Harper's stand against spam
During Stephen Harper's time in office, he has voiced opposition to commercials that are louder than the TV program you're watching, and annoying spam in our inboxes and on our computers. Like most of us, I guess Harper just likes to go home at the end of the day and relax with a TV show without being blasted during the commercials. Similarly, he must just get really ticked off by the relentless emails he receives from various corporations that have collected his personal email address over the years.
I'm not sure what happened to his battle against loud commercials, but as many of you know, Canada's anti-spam legislation came into effect on July 1, 2014. In case you wanted to search the Act by name and see for yourself if your most irritating spammer is complying with the legislation, you'll find the Act under the more bureaucratic title: An Act to promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy by regulating certain activities that discourage reliance on electronic means of carrying out commercial activities, and to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, the Competition Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and the Telecommunications Act. Creative, no?
The Act requires that anyone sending a commercial electronic message (spam) to a electronic address (email) must have your express or implied consent to receive the commercial electronic message. The message must also set out who is sending the message, how to contact the person sending the message, and have an unsubscribe mechanism in the email.
To be clear, the Act also states that this law applies to any message that is sent from a computer in Canada or accessed by a computer in Canada; i.e. those overseas spammers are not exempt!
Not only does the Act protect you from email spammers, but spammers that might try to install computer programs on your computer without your consent. It also protects you against crafty computer savvy businesses altering transmission data for an email you send from your computer to be sent to a destination you did not specify.
The week prior to the Act coming into effect, we all saw a barrage of frantic emails in our inbox from corporations begging us to allow them to keep sending us emails. As I've learned recently, the most effective marketing tool that businesses rely on is their email list of potentially interested consumers. Sending out regular emails to potential consumers allows a business to build a relationship with individuals and keeps a business front of mind for a consumer for that moment when the consumer may need their services.
So if email marketing is such an effective tool for marketing, would it be worthwhile for a business to live dangerously, continue to send emails in contravention of the Act, eat the fine or other punishment, and reap the rewards of relentless email marketing?
Violations of the Act are treated with an administrative "penalty". If after an investigation, the CRTC determines that a business has violated the Act, they can serve a Notice of Violation on the business. The business has 30 days to contest the allegations or pay the penalty set out in the Notice. The Act makes it clear that the monetary "penalty" is not a punishment, but intended to promote compliance with the Act. There are a number of factors that must be taken into effect when imposing a penalty against a business, one of which is the financial benefit the business received by committing the violation. The maximum penalty for an individual is $1 million; the maximum penalty for a business that is not an individual is $10 million.
We have yet to see how the CRTC will impose the penalties, if they are imposed like fines under the Criminal Code or Offence Act, they will be nowhere near the maximum amount for first few-time offenders. If they are truly imposed to promote compliance with the Act, then for successful businesses, they could be quite hefty.
Now if you want to make a business pay for continuing to fill up your inbox without your consent (express or implied, mind you), then you have two options. You can report the violation to the CRTC (as at least 1,000 other people did on July 2, 2014) or you can start your own lawsuit. You can only start your own lawsuit in the superior court of your province or Federal Court, if the business has not already been served with a Notice of Violation by the CRTC.
If you are successful in your lawsuit, you can receive compensation for any monetary damages you suffered and the amount of penalty imposed on the business. For email spam, a litigant can receive up to $200 for each email they received without giving their consent to a maximum of $1 million.
If you are successful in proving that a computer program was installed on your computer without your consent, or someone messed with your intended destination of your email, then you can collect up to $1 million for each day that the contravention occurred.
Before you race to file your lawsuits, if you think you are a victim of a contravention of the Act, review the Act yourself and talk to a lawyer. I have not been able to fully canvas the entire Act in this article. There are many nuances to that Act, which cannot be addressed in this short space.
Immigration reform? Throw it out and provide a hundred million dollars to refugees for dental and vision care that citizens do not get.
Privacy reform, throw it out.
Native land claims reform? Throw it out.
Labour reform? Throw it out.
Prostitution law reform? Throw it out.
I could go on, but I feel nauseous.
seriously, spam is pretty much solved, technically. a decent email provider should be able to keep it out of your inbox - no government involvement necessary.
You do not need a lawyer to file a complaint with Canada's Spam Reporting Centre : email@example.com

A silver arowana. |
LOL!! Scott, Santa is gonna hear you one of these days. :D I considered getting myself one of those personal weather stations, but when I saw the price tag, I reconsidered. I am, after all, an over-thinker when it comes to spending $$$, and it would be so selfish of me, when there are others in need. So, I ate another piece of cake, and thought of my options, while DH put his '65 El Camino up for sale so as to purchase an ultra-light plane kit for $2500. Becoming glassy-eyed from too much sugar consumption, I watched John Denver (formerly known as DH) spend $300 additional dollars for extending the garage to accommodate the building of the wings of said plane. As the El Camino gathers dust, I dig into the box of Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts, and wonder if I'll ever truly know the wind speed at 6 o'clock in the morning or if the barometric pressure will drop before Thanksgiving. I think I'll buy John Denver a plot with a nice headstone for Christmas and a fresh box of Krispy Kremes for me. Brenda |

Yikes, Brenda. Might not a personal weather station help keep John Denver alive? |
Beav, compromise is the foundation of a strong marriage. Seems to me that he has the urge to fly and you want to able to check the weather more accurately. For Xmas, I suggest you guys get a weather balloon!!! :-) -Dr. Phil |
Brenda, it's all in budgeting. You just need to tell Mr. Denver that the weather station needs to go in the plane budget, as Sharon suggested, he will need to know the wind speed. Thats how I got my pond, somehow I convinced my husband that it was part of the deck budget, even though it is 50 feet away from it :^) |
Hmmmm, well this might not be anything any of you would get but I am getting more work done on my full shirtback tattoo for Christmas. Unfortunately that's not pond or even garden themed, but, that's what I am getting and it pleases me. |

Yes its expensive here as well, $80-100 per hour. My artist is also a friend so she gives me a break when she can; sometimes she works on me on her day off and its free (so I tip her generously). I think I lack perhaps 5-6 hours now. This particular area was started in 2001, but I have other pieces on other body parts that are as old as 1979. Its kind of an ongoing process I guess.

Looks like everybody has been very good this year. :) Scott- It's great that you and your wife share a hobby. lol Now I am off to look up silver arowona on the net. Merry ponding everyone. |
Thank you, Dr. Phig Eye! Roswell, NM, will be nothing compared to our little corner of CA! :D Adrea, he's going to be taking lessons, since the only time he's flown anything other than r/c planes was when the neighbor let him take over the controls of his plane during a quick ride over the valley. I really think that those with A.D.D. should be licensed for anything that requires "motor" skills. LOL I really did have my tongue jammed into my facial flab when I spoke of Mr. Denver and kicking off our future family plot. He has already informed me that he will have all of the necessary on-board equipment to foresee any weather problems during flight, so trying to weasel my weather station into the mix will prove difficult. :D However, I offered to pick out the color of the $2000 parachute he'll need before take off, and I think he looks great in fuschia! ;) Brenda |

dont mind clothes much but if my fam pic da clothes out i end up looking so...."in style" i guess and thats just not me. like pants that already have holes in them wht the hell is up w/ that? its FREEZING OUT! |
Pants with holes in them will never be "in style" with me! Once I had a washing machine delivered, and one of the delivery guys had holes in his jeans, right in the seat! And he had on the skimpiest possible underwear (thong) so I could see! While he bent over installing the washer! How "in style" is that? I suppose he thought it was sexy. More like embarrassing, where I come from. Besides, I think "in fashion" is a more apt phrase. A much-respected friend once commented to me that "fashion is 'we do'; style is 'I do'". I've taken that to heart, and try to be comfortable with my own style, and fashion be hanged. Sharon |

u wanna hear somethin funny? i was out shoppin at the mall and whent into the American Eagle store.....we looked at the jeans and the pants w/ the holes in them wer 16$ more than without! my dad was like "yep....2.00$ extra for every hole" i hate how people put themselves in "categories" like being "punk" or "goth" or "prepy" and then say that thur soooooo individual! if you dress according to the "prepy" fashion then your not really individual r u? they may laugh cuz im different but i laugh cuz they're all the same! but back to the subject.......... |
So which fashion do holey jeans fit into? Goth, punk, prep? Is grunge still a fashion? Gosh, I hope they aren't prep. I remember when prep was plaid skirts, cardigan sweaters, and espardrilles, preferably with a headband and a strand of good pearls. :^) |
Aren't holey jeans only supposed to worn when gong to church? |

New Jersey Devils Honor Fallen Hockey Players
After a long summer of loss in the hockey world, on September 7, 2011, another tragedy hit. The plane carrying the Kontinental Hockey League team, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, crashed en route to Belarus for their first game of the season. Only one person survived.
Friends, families and fans all over the world held memorials for the 44 people that passed away.
New Jersey Devils fans held a memorial in the Championship Plaza of Prudential Center to pay respects to the two former Devils, Karel Rachunek and Alexander Vasyunov. The fans in attendance wrote messages on pucks, hats and signs in remembrance.
We celebrate the lives of these two men, as well as all of the victims, with a display on the main concourse near the south tower and across from the Dream Team bench. The signed pucks and hats, from fans, and photos surround a game worn Vasyunov Lokomotiv jersey.
In an effort to help the families of the victims, Ilya Kovalchuk set up a fundraiser. Those who sent $17 to the KHL Yaroslavl Victims' Families Fund would receive a signed photograph of Kovalchuk. Park East Restaurant in Hazlet, NJ held an autograph session with Kovalchuk yesterday and the proceeds went to the Families Fund.
Hockey wives and girlfriends from around the world also banded together to create Love for Lokomotiv, a site where anyone can provide a donation or purchase one of two types of bracelets that commemorate those who lost their lives.
The hockey world will always remembers those who were on that plane that morning.
Plane crash kills entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl roster, including 2 familiar names
As an already tragic summer winds down following Labor Day weekend, most hockey fans were ready to turn the page on a summer of loss and focus on a new season ahead. Having lost Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak this past summer, the hockey world was shocked again. One of the Kontinental Hockey League's premier teams, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, saw its entire team wipe out in moments as the team's jet crashed early Wednesday morning. There have been 44 confirmed deaths (reportedly 45 dead), including ex-NHLers Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei, Josef Vasicek, Karlis Skrastins, Red Wings draft pick Stefan Liv, Rangers draft pick Jan Marek, as well as the head coach of the team, and former NHL player Brad McCrimmon. Two former Devils were also lost: Karel Rachunek and youngster Alexander Vasyunov. Vasyunov, 23, played 18 games in the NHL last season for the Devils, posting five points, including his first and only NHL goal.
Lookomotiv Yaroslavl, like many KHL teams, was preparing for the beginning of a the 2011-2012 season, scheduled to begin this week. Their plane was headed to Minsk, Belarus (site of the team's first game of the season) before mechanical problems reportedly started to disrupt the plane's flight before eventually crashing. The crash occured just over a mile from the airport runway and the jet burst into flames. Alexander Galimov, one of the team's players, suffered severe burns before reportedly dying in a coma hours later.
As far as the impact on the Devils is concerned, Karel Rachunek played 47 games on the Devils blue line during the 2007-08 season after a pair of stints with the New York Rangers and four year tenure in Ottawa. The youngster Vasyunov left North America this past summer to return to Russia, but indications through many reports is that Vasyunov enjoyed his time with the Devils and hoped to return to the Devils organization some day. Lou Lamoriello confirmed Vasyunov's death this morning. Vasyunov had spent the past three seasons in the Devils farm system before heading back to play for his hometown KHL team in Yaroslavl.
This has been a summer of tragedy, there's no doubt about that. Forty-five lives were lost today during this plane crash, and now a once prominent KHL franchise must completely start over.

Dec 12, 2012 1:57 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Federal authorities say nearly two dozen illegal immigrants arrested this week paid smugglers up to $9,000 each for a seagoing trip on a panga boat to the United States.
Authorities intercepted the 27-foot, single-engine panga on Monday morning and arrested 25 people on a Los Angeles County beach near Rancho Palos Verdes. Panga fishing boats are often used by smugglers.
Four men are facing smuggling and conspiracy charges.
The Daily Breeze in Torrance says passengers told investigators they met smugglers in Tijuana and paid $3,000 to $9,000 for rides to the United States.
The passengers, most from Mexico, said the trip was tense because the smugglers argued over engine noise and twice threatened to throw one of the passengers overboard because he was overweight.

Gail Hansen
Dr. Gail Hansen serves as a senior officer for Pew's campaign on human health and industrial farming, a project aimed at phasing out overuse of antibiotics in food production.
Before joining Pew, Dr. Hansen served as the state epidemiologist and state public health veterinarian for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment where most of her work centered on infectious diseases and public health policy. While there, she led a team of epidemiologists that investigated outbreaks and sporadic cases of infectious disease, evaluated public health prevention measures, and developed disease tracking systems for the state.
She has served on or chaired numerous state and federal infectious disease committees, as a scientific advisor for several national and international conferences, and is an adjunct faculty member at the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She has authored several peer-reviewed publications on various infectious diseases and public health topics and has provided practical training in applied epidemiology to public health scholars.
Dr. Hansen had a highly successful 12-year career in private veterinary clinical practice before shifting to public health at local and state public health departments. While working at the Seattle and King County Department of Public Health, she was a project coordinator for blood borne pathogen studies, which included evaluating the needle exchange program for injection drug users.
Prior to joining Pew, she was a Congressional Science Policy Fellow and a legislative assistant for U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Dr. Hansen received her veterinary degree from the University of Minnesota and her M.P.H. in epidemiology from the University of Washington.

"We had some trouble with it," concedes Huddleston. But, she adds, "it's a narrowly defined bill," so her department didn't offer a lot of resistance.
HB 1308: Think of this horseracing bill, sponsored by Senator Jim Rizzuto and Representative Ken Chlouber, as the equivalent of legislators giving a zoning variance to a single business. HB 1308, which could end up costing the state tens of thousands of dollars, is a gift to Arapahoe Park Racetrack.
Here's how it came about, according to Larry Huls, director of racing events for the Colorado State Racing Comission: In 1992 the legislature passed a law saying that racetracks had to have one day of live horseracing for every three that they showed on television. One reason for the requirement was to support Colorado's horse industry. Another was to make sure that Arapahoe Park didn't turn into just another off-track-betting parlor. But finally, it was about money: The state earns more tax revenue off live racing--a minimum of $2,500 per day--than it does from simulcasts, because it collects money only on bets originating in Colorado.
This year, however, it became clear that Arapahoe Park wasn't making enough money. One reason was the high cost of live racing. So, together with the Colorado Horsemen's Association, the track asked for a variance: Could it have as many days of simulcasts as before (about 200 a year) but cut the number of days of live racing in half, from 62 to 30?
Yes, said legislators. So did the governor, who signed the bill on March 25. Which means the track can continue earning money on the broadcasts and at the same time cut the costs of live racing. The only loser, of course, is the state, which collects less in tax revenue on simulcast days than on live-racing days.
HB 1359: This bill, introduced by Steve Tool, a Fort Collins Republican, addresses telecommunications. If passed, it would primarily benefit US West and AT&T Wireless, which split the cellular-phone business in Colorado and which also lobbied for this bill.
In an effort to increase sales of cellular air time, phone companies have begun almost giving away phones--such as the $10 cell-phone deals you see at King Soopers. The idea behind the bargains is that the phone company will more than make up its money selling air time. According to Phil Spencer, a state revenue investigator, it's like a CD company giving away compact disc players so it can sell more discs.
The deal works for almost everyone: The retailer sells a phone cheaply (and generally gets compensated in a side agreement with the phone company); the customer gets an inexpensive phone; and the phone company gets to sell more air time. The one loser is the state.
Put another way, how does a state tax a $150 phone that's sold for $10? Colorado tried to tax the phone's actual worth, contending that the marketing scheme was a new way to get around just such a tax. But HB 1359, which was still pending early this week, would prevent retailers from having to pay sales tax on the full value of the phone--and give the phone companies more customers in the process.
HB 1374: Talk about your personal legislation: You're a guy who wants to build a new quarter-billion-dollar house in the middle of Denver, which you will live in approximately eight days--or 2 percent--of every year. Can the taxpayers pay for it, please?
Representative Vickie Agler, a Littleton Republican, carried this bill, which will let voters decide whether they want to pay for Pat Bowlen's new Denver Broncos stadium through a Metropolitan Football Stadium District. The referendum would permit a one-cent-per-ten-dollar sales tax to raise 75 percent of the $250 million cost of the new playground.
HJR 1014: "Well," begins Jean Casson, a spokeswoman for the St. Andrew Society of Colorado, "one of our members, who is worldwide president of the Clan Baird, got it in his head to do it."
"My trips around the United States showed me that people have been wanting a little bit more encouragement to wear the tartan," confirms Dale Baird. "I also learned that Canada already has designated June 6 as Tartan Day. And then I found out that Tennessee just named June 24 as Scottish, Scot-Irish Heritage Day. So after finding out that Canada and Tennessee had taken some action, I decided to see what I could do."
What Baird did was call his representative, Jeanne Faatz. Unfortunately, she'd recently had some health problems and was unable to help, so she agreed to scan the legislative roster and find someone of Scottish descent. Gary McPherson, an Aurora Republican, fit the bill. Baird was elated. "The McPhersons and the Bairds fought together at the battle of Culloden, in 1746, I'll have you know," he says.
On the day of the legislative hearing, "we had four dancers, four bagpipers and a couple of drummers there," Baird recalls. "We really put on a dog and pony show for them. They seemed to enjoy it." According to HJR 1014, adopted March 22, Colorado will join Canada and Tennessee with its own Scottish Tartan Day, July 1.
The Statue Statute
As part of our federalist form of government, every state in the union is permitted to place two statues representing famous sons (or daughters) in Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. Colorado already has one likeness there--Dr. Florence Sabin, a medical pioneer. That means the state has but a single opportunity to select its best remaining representative. Who it will be has inspired hours of debate and much heated legislative activity, including the purest of personal legislation.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") was passed in 1991 and amended in 2010 by Congress. The TCPA restricts telemarketers and other business entities, including debt collectors, from making telephone calls through the use of automatic dialing systems (commonly known as "robocalls") or by leaving prerecorded or artificial voice messages. The Act also regulates text messages and other forms of communication. While most calls are covered by Act, a call is exempt from the TCPA if the call is made on behalf of a tax-exempt nonprofit organization or the call is not made for a commercial purpose. Moreover, certain other calls are exempt if either the caller has an established business relationship with the recipient of the call or the recipient gave prior express consent for these types of calls. To find out if you qualify, contact Krohn & Moss, Ltd., Consumer Law Center® to determine your rights and to find out if the calls you have received make you eligible for monetary relief.
If you are the recipient of illegal "robocalls" or prerecorded or artificial voice messages, you may bring a claim against the caller in either federal or state court for violating the TCPA. Per the TCPA, you may recover damages in the amount of $500 for each illegal call made. If you can prove that the caller willfully or knowingly violated the TCPA, you may receive treble damages up to three (3) times this amount or up to $1,500 per illegal call. Additionally, if we take your case under the TCPA, Krohn & Moss, Ltd., Consumer Law Center® will only get paid if you win or settle your case.

Champaign, IL, Apr 08, 2011 -- Contact: Joan Messina (217) 403-6248
USDA Grant Awarded to Tamaroa for a New Community Center Roof
Champaign, Ill., April 8, 2011—USDA Rural Development State Director Colleen Callahan announced that Tamaroa has been selected for a $67,500 grant to put a new roof on the village's community center. The funding is part of the federal agency's Community Facilities Program that provides grants and affordable financing to support essential facilities in rural communities.
"By helping rural communities preserve and improve their community services, USDA is helping them maintain their quality of life," Callahan said. "When we help to preserve the infrastructure in smaller communities like Tamaroa, we make it a better place to live, work, run a business and raise a family."
Rural Development funds will be used to completely re-roof the gymnasium portion of the existing community center. The building previously housed the old high school and was converted into a community center in the late 1980's. The facility is one of Tamaroa's principal assets, providing excellent facilities including outdoor tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, pavilions and picnic areas. The village rents out space for receptions, parties and picnics at the community center which is a premier gathering place for local residents. The village contributed $22,500 to the project.
Rural Development offers loans, loan guarantees and, in some instances, grants to public bodies and non-profit organizations to support essential facilities for public use in most communities with up to 20,000 residents. These funds can be used to support projects such as health and child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted-living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, libraries, community centers, public buildings and transportation.
Community Facilities funding is also available for projects that support the use or distribution of locally and regionally produced food. Communities and non-profits can use the program to support food banks, farmers' markets, community gardens, community kitchens and food delivery vehicles. They can use the funds to construct or buy a building, make renovations, and purchase land and equipment.
Rural Development has more than 40 programs that foster growth and economic stability in rural areas by providing affordable financing and technical assistance. Support is available for regional food systems, broadband and biofuel infrastructure, homeownership, business development and community needs. More information on USDA Rural Development programs is available on the web at www.rurdev.usda.gov/il. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

Three tips for the wacky world of AH pricing
First of all: level up your First Aid to 325 right now, because I've got three words for you: Heavy Netherweave Bandage. Think all that they'll do is heal you? Think again -- they vendor in the game for a whopping 6g per stack, so every time you log on your AH alt, the first thing you should do is run to the Auctioneer and buy up all the Netherweave cloth you can find for less than 3g -- crafted up into bandages, each stack of cloth is worth at least that, so anything you buy for less than 3g (I've seen it as low as 1g 50s -- people are throwing away money) is pure profit. This is the biggest moneymaker I've found (you don't make much per stack, but after you've "processed" a few hundred stacks, the money adds up), and it made me regret selling Netherweave for anything less than 3g before I figured this out.
Second big tip: don't ever buy anything on the weekends. Ever. Prices soar on the weekends, so much so that you'll often be able to take advantage of huge bargains during the week, and then turn around and craft or just resell those items on the weekends, when everyone else is playing. I know you really, really want that Primal Air on Sunday so you can finish off your profession leveling, but wait three days -- by Wednesday, all of the AH sellers will have seen their auctions expired and will be ready to lower the price.

Matt Garza hopes ovation at Wrigley 'not my last one'
BY TONI GINNETTI email@example.com July 14, 2013 12:16AM

Updated: August 15, 2013 7:03AM
Cubs right-hander Matt Garza appreciated the standing ovation he got as he exited with two outs in the seventh inning Saturday at Wrigley Field.
''I hope it's not my last one,'' Garza said after the Cubs' 6-4 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals.
At least a half-dozen scouts were among the largest crowd of the season (42,240). They again saw Garza turn in a strong performance, the same thing he had done in his previous six outings.
It might have been Garza's last start at Wrigley, with his next start scheduled July 22 against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix and the trade deadline July 31 closing in.
''You do [think about it], but I've been through it so much, I'm oblivious until something happens,'' said Garza, who improved to 6-1. ''It's stressful, but I have an outlet because I pitch every fifth day.''
The atmosphere for the rare Saturday-night game between the longtime rivals was akin to a playoff showdown, manager Dale Sveum said.
Garza called it ''awesome.''
''It's a great place to play and pitch, and the fans really embrace you when you do your job,'' he said. ''They embrace you in a different way when you don't.''
His teammates provided him with stellar defense, helping to thwart potential big innings as the Cardinals stranded 13.
''They played great,'' Garza said. ''For some reason, we've turned a corner and we're playing great baseball. It's so awesome.''
The Cubs had 13 hits, including another home run from Alfonso Soriano — his 180th with the Cubs, putting him 11th on their all-time list — and a two-run homer from Luis Valbuena. Both came against Cardinals starter Lance Lynn (11-4).
Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 17th save.
College buddies
The Cubs claimed outfielder Cole Gillespie off waivers from the San Francisco Giants and expect him to be in uniform Sunday. They will have to make a move to get him on the roster.
Gillespie, 29, played with second baseman Darwin Barney at Oregon State.
''He's a right-handed bat we need, a good player, and I'm excited to finally play with a [college] teammate,'' Barney said.
The two played on the Beavers' 2006 College World Series team. They still live near each other and work out together during the offseason.
Sveum knew Gillespie in the Milwaukee Brewers' minor-league system.
''Really sound, fundamental baseball guy,'' Sveum said.
Gillespie has played in 53 major-league games, hitting .218 with three home runs and 16 RBI.
Outfielder Nate Schierholtz didn't play Saturday and probably will miss the game Sunday, too, Sveum said.
''That will give him six days [off, with the All-Star break],'' Sveum said. ''He's banged up everywhere and struggling a little.''
◆ Outfielder David DeJesus (shoulder) will go Monday to Mesa, Ariz., to begin working out before starting a rehab assignment next weekend.
◆ Right-hander Scott Baker will start Sunday for Class A Kane County and begin a schedule of pitching every fifth day.

This small study is to investigate the efficacy of Acthar in the treatment of chronic migraine in patients who have failed multiple treatments, including Botox (which is defined as having <30% reduction from baseline in the number of headache days per month). Despite [more...] the widespread use of anti-seizure medications, there remain a significant number of patient whose migraines are refractory to these agents. The pathophysiology of migraine is such that the neural substances calcitonin G related protein (CGRP), substance P, and neurokinin A are released at the trigeminal nerve endings innervating the large cranial and dura mater blood vessels and this neurotrasmission generates migraine associated pain. Because of this, treatment for migraine can be directed towards down regulating those receptor sites accordingly. Acthar may provide pain relief through this mechanist, as ACTH has been shown to inhibit the release of CGRP and may also provide relief through a negative feedback loop as exogenous ACTH inhibits CRH release and mast cell degranulation.

Jan 18, 2013 8:58 PM by KRTV
Jenna Van Delden has been arrested for the second time in three days in connection with allegedly harboring a runaway teenager in her Great Falls home and is now facing more criminal charges.
The 13-year old male was reported as a runaway on September 17, 2012, and was found safe on Tuesday at Van Delden's home on Chowen Springs Loop in Great Falls; he was hiding underneath a bunk bed in a second floor bedroom of the residence.
Van Delden, 25, was arrested and charged at the time with custodial interference, a felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
On Thursday evening, Van Delden was arrested again and is now facing four charges of sexual intercourse without consent and one charge of tampering with evidence.
Court documents state that Van Delden and the teen have both admitted that they were involved in a sexual relationship, and Van Delden told an investigator that she "truly loved" the teen.
The court document states that after bonding out of jail for the initial charges, Van Delden went to the Juvenile Detention Center where the teen was being held in order to check on his well-being.
When she was told that she could not see him, she requested that she be allowed to have her wedding ring and a heart-shaped ring that she had given to the teen.
Prosecutors have requested that bond for Van Delden be set at $25,000.
She is scheduled to make a court appearance for the new charges on Friday afternoon.
We will update you as we learn more.
UPDATE, 1:30 pm: Judge Neill set bond for Van Delden at $50,000 based on the severity of charges, her alleged attempt to make contact with the teen immediately after she posted bail on previous charges, and her potential flight risk.
(January 16, 2012) Charging documents state that Sheriff's deputies interviewed Van Delden on October 5, 2012; during the interview, Van Delden denied any knowledge of the teen's whereabouts and stated that she had not had any recent contact with him.
The documents state that officers entered Van Delden's residence on other occasions following the initial interview after receiving information that she was "hiding the child from his father and from law enforcement officers." The teen was not found during any of those visits.
On January 14, 2013, law enforcement received word that the teen had been seen at Van Delden's home earlier in the day, and that he had been living there since he ran away from home.
A search warrant was granted on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, and officers went to the home, where Van Delden again denied having any knowledge of the teen's whereabouts and stated that he was not inside of her house.
When a deputy searched the home, he found the teen hiding underneath a bunk bed in a second-floor bedroom.
The teen was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with obstructing a peace officer.
The Sheriff's Office is working with the Cascade County Attorney's Office and the Department of Family Services in the investigation.
The Sheriff's Office says that at no time during the investigation have they determined that the teen was abducted or removed under duress from his parents, and that he is considered to be a recovered runaway.
