Last year, we here at ACE offered up some ways to keep your New Year's resolutions. Hopefully they were of some use to you. Now that you've shed those unwanted pounds, cleaned out the attic and knitted your own snuggie, let us share our 2012 resolutions with you, along with tips on what and what not to do to see them through.
1. Stay Hydrated.
Methods to keep resolution:
- CamelBak hydration pack.
- 14-foot raft.
- Choice of New or Gauley Rivers – (Feeling extra parched? Include both).
- Zip Line at ACE Lake.
Methods to avoid:
1. Dragging around one of these a giant misting fans.
2. Sensory deprivation chamber.
3. Anything that kicks in your mammalian diving reflex
4. A greenhouse suit. Lots of glass, lots of motion. Enough said.
5. Jelly – I mean really, it's not even that wet and have you seen the way yellow jackets flock to the stuff at picnics.
2. Gain altitude.
Methods to keep resolution:
- Zip Line Tour along the New River Gorge.
- The Blob at ACE Lake.
- Ride high on the Pillow at Pillow Rock.
- Rock climbing in the New River Gorge.
- A walk on the New River Gorge Bridge catwalk.
Methods to avoid:
1. ACME bat suit.
2. Any machine that even remotely resembles what you see on the left.
3. Giant wings held together with wax (see: Icarus, flight of).
4. Harnessing the power of a million stinging insects.
5. Hydrogen-filled dirigible.
3. Go faster
Methods to keep resolution:
- Mountain biking in the New River Gorge.
- The Terminal Velocity zip at ACE (at more than 800 feet long, the view goes by awfully fast).
- Lost Paddle on the Upper Gauley.
- An ATV tour that winds through ACE's 1500-acre resort.
Methods to avoid:
1. Applying a non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant to your aluminum saucer.
2. Ice skates and a jet pack.
3. A bucket full of ball bearings.
4. Giant sling shot.
5. Anything with Evel Knievel stripes on it. Seriously.
4. Laugh. A Lot.
Methods to keep resolution:
- Get outside with friends.
- New River in the Spring.
- Water slide on ACE Lake.
- Mud obstacle course (it's hard not to laugh when you're that dirty).
Methods to avoid:
1. Pauly Shore Marathons. Can you remember the last time anything remotely funny came from that man? (See what we did there? Remotely? As in Remote Control? Never mind).
2. Going to the dentist for laughing gas.
3. Tickling.
4. Clowns. We're not even kidding.
5. Sound our barbaric YAWP! (with apologies to Walt Whitman)
Methods to keep resolution:
- Summer Gauley trips.
- Bullhorn.
- Any of the toys on ACE Lake.
- New River rafting – any time.
- 12-foot boats on the New or Gauley.
Methods to avoid:
1. Bear wrestling.
2. Alligator wrestling (pretty much any large animal wrestling).
3. Juggling honey badgers (Turns out they DO care).
4. Human cannonball classes.
5. Donning a superhero costume and actually using it.
So there you have it. You can be assured we will be doing everything we can to fulfill our resolutions and if you'd like to jump on the bandwagon, well, there's plenty of room.
May 2012 be everything you want it to be!

Clinical Child Psychology
Intermediate award(s): PG Dip, PG CertCourse overview
This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of atypical development. This will encompass both developmental disorders and childhood mental health, looking at the developmental cause, assessment, classification, and treatment. It will provide a good foundation for those wishing to pursue further training in professional clinical training, child psychology and research. You will develop your academic knowledge in these areas as well as training in relevant assessment and research techniques. Please note that this course does not include clinical work with children, neither does it constitute professional training (e.g. training in clinical psychology).This course will:
- provide you with a comprehension of the principles of research design and strategy within the field of developmental disorders and child psychopathology, including an understanding of how to formulate researchable problems and an appreciation of alternative approaches to research
- enable you to understand a range of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and tools, including infant observation, assessment and diagnostic interviewing, neuroimaging (electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG)) and neuropsychological assessment
- give you a comprehensive understanding of current theoretical issues in relation to cause, classification and treatment protocols for a range of developmental disorders and childhood mental health
- provide you with the skills necessary for managing research, including the process of research and its dissemination in a way that is consistent with both professional practice and the normal principles of research ethics
- develop your understanding of the significance of alternative epistemological positions that provide the context for theory construction, research design, and the selection of appropriate analytical techniques
- prepare you for careers in research, research methods, and provide you with a wide range of transferable skills
- provide you with the opportunity and the practical skills to carry out research with a clinical population using either quantitative or qualitative methodology.
Find out what it's really like to be a student on our MSc Clinical Child Psychology course by reading Aleksandra Dlugokencka's student blog.
Core modules
Issues in Scientific Research
This module introduces many of the historical, contextual and epistemological issues that affect the science of psychology. You will learn about research directed by political and social desires through research funding. Additionally, this module will equip you with the necessary skills to succeed in research and will directly help with your dissertation.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Clinical Child Psychology
In this module, you will be given an overview surrounding diagnosis of different developmental psychopathologies, looking at the different classifications systems. You will gain knowledge about methods of diagnosis, including infant observation, psychological assessment and diagnostic interviewing.
Developmental Psychopathology
This module covers the developmental cause, risk factors and implications to everyday life in children with both developmental disorders and child-related mental health problems. Within developmental disorders, the topics covered will include normative development, autism and pervasive developmental disorders and language and communication disorders. Within child mental ill health the topics covered will include affective disorders, eating disorders and substance abuse, and childhood trauma.
Quantitative Research Methods
In this module, you will develop a critical understanding of the principles of data collection and analysis for psychology and will consider the theoretical basis of various advanced quantitative methods. Example data sets will be analysed using, for example, ANOVA, MANOVA, ANCOVA, multiple linear regression, effect size, and factor analysis. These chosen statistical methods have been directed by the Economic and Social Research Council's Postgraduate Training Guidelines (fourth and fifth editions).
You will chose an independent research topic from an area of expertise within our department (subject to availability of suitable supervision) and will conduct a significant research project in that area which may involve a literature review, data collection, analysis and a write-up.
- current methodological issues within the clinical field specifically related to children
- current theoretical issues in developmental disorder and psychopathology
- the context (at the national and international levels) in which research takes place
- issues relating to the rights of other researchers, research subjects, and of others who might be affected by the research (e.g. ethical and legal issues, confidentiality, copyright, malpractice)
- good research practice in psychology clinical settings
- the relevant health and safety issues and responsible working practices
- the processes for funding and evaluation of research
- the process of academic and commercial exploitation of research results
- the scientific basis of the discipline of psychology: its philosophical, historical, and epistemological context
- the relationship between hypotheses, research design, data collection, interpretation, and theory
- a range of quantitative research methods and general statistical techniques.
A broad range of assessment methods will be used measuring every aspect of your understanding and skilled application of the relevant techniques. These will include essays, portfolios, exams, presentations, poster presentations, debates, data analyses and a final dissertation module worth one-third of the total course assessment.Facilities
You will have access to several dedicated, sound attenuated research laboratories, equipped with networked computers. Additional specialist laboratories exist: an observation laboratory, including a two-way mirror (this can double as a baby-lab); an electroencephalography (EEG) laboratory; an eyetracking laboratory; a psycholinguistics laboratory; a psychometrics laboratory; a psychoneuroimmunology laboratory.Find out more about our facilities.

Please compare and contrast the isocorrosion curve for 316/316L in unaerated H2SO4 Vs aerated H2SO4 (93-98%). Under ambient conditions in Beaumont, Texas, am I better off allowing moist air to enter the tank, risking local corrosion from moisture absorption and dilution at the gas-liquid interface? Does the mode of corrosion change (i.e., general to pitting) depending on aeration?
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: Can you provide information on corrosion of austenitic stainless steels?
15 February 2012 at 1:29pmSulfuric acid is tricky to deal with because its corrosive properties change dramatically with velocity, concentration, impurities, and temperature. Interestingly, 98% sulfuric acid is less corrosive than 93% and both are less corrosive than intermediate sulfuric acid concentrations. Due to velocity effects and other considerations, the proper MOCs for sulfuric acid might be different depending on the equipment (e.g., storage tank, piping, pumps, valves, etc.). You can find a lot of information on corrosion of austenitic stainless steels, including isocorrosion charts, in a publication entitled "The Corrosion Resistance of Nickel-Containing Alloys in Sulfuric Acid and Related Compounds," published by the old International Nickel Company (Inco). This is available free of charge at the Nickel Institute website (http://www.nickelinstitute.org). The isocorrosion charts from this publication suggest that aerated sulfuric acid is generally less corrosive than sulfuric acid purged with nitrogen. Because of the potential evolution of hydrogen from corrosion in sulfuric acid storage tanks, vent design is very important and ingress of moisture should be minimized. The reasons for this and other design details are covered in NACE standard SP0294 "Design, Fabrication, and Inspection of Storage Tank Systems for Concentrated Fresh and Process Sulfuric Acid and Oleum at Ambient Temperatures". It would be a good idea to get copies of both of these publications to gain additional insight not possible in this simple question/answer format.

My current favorite authors are: Harlan Coben, Iris Johansen, and especially David Baldacci.
Recently read the third of the trilogy by Nora Roberts: The Pagen Stone. Very disappointing -- could have made the whole trilogy into one book. When I read one boring book by any author, I tend not to take any more chances -- Patricia Cornwall is one. Andrew Gross and Robert Crais are current excellent ones for me also. (I go through two books a week and don't have a library near by so would like to know what books to stay away from.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I gave up on Patricia Cornwell. BUT, I still love Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich. |
Anyone read any of Karin Slaughter's books? Warning: they can be pretty gruesome, the content gets deep sometimes. She's actually my cousin, although we have lost touch. They do keep you interested, with lots of twists and turns. Nikki |

Although I haven't read anything in a few years by Patricia Cornwall, I never found her boring. I loved the roles of her main character, her boyfriend, the neice, and of course the cop that was the sidekick. One of my favorites though is James Patterson, and all the Alex Cross series. I have everything that was ever written by Agatha Christie too. I used to belong to the book club, and Sue Grafton was a favorite also, don't know what letter of the alphabet she is up to at this point though, LOL Alberta |
I found an old used book once by Mary Robert Reinhart and loved it. They are classical, sleuth-type mystery books and she wrote a lot of them. You can find them at used book stores or on amazon (used books). Another author you might want to give a try :) |
I am so disapointed that Patricia cornwell is on the dislike list.I love her scarpetta series the gross murder mysteries.Her others are dorky but keep waiting for the next scarpetta to come out.I am on the 3rd triolgy of Sara Douglass the crucible series and have really enjoyed them all.I read every night-sometimes all night long. moonphase |

The only Sue Grafton book I read was 'P is for Peril'. It was a great read until the end --- THERE WASN'T ONE!!! Very disappointing and I will never buy another book of hers. As far as Cornwell goes, I'm sure she writes lots of good books, but again, once I read a disappointing one, I never give that author another chance. There are so many authors I haven't tried yet take a chance on one I didn't care for even if it was only one book. Just finished the latest David Baldacci 'Divine Justice'. It is another of the Camel Club series and was excellent. |

Maybe this is not the right place to pose this question, but the other forums are more focused on other issues so....
What a "not an expert" like me misses more about Symbian site dropdown is the tool for browsing source code, i find really difficult and time consuming now to search among zillions of lines of code. Is there a way to replicate that tool? Where should i start from? Or, is there a better way than a grep program in Windows? I'm pretty sure there is :-)

Here is a link that might be useful: Organic Garden Dreams
so delicate and so pretty, Seil! |
Krista, I can tell you like those hot colors! Strawberry, I've never been a fan of Pat Austin either. WS is beautiful but it blows too quickly and you don't get to enjoy it long enough. Thanks, Inga, I'll be posting more I'm sure. Tammy and Christina, WM has a sort of gray lavender look to it. Always reminds me of the term "half mourning" gray they talk about it those romance novels. Thank you, Serena. |

Answered by
Sheikh `Abd al-`Azîz b. `Abd Allah b. Muhammad Al al-Sheikh, Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia
The word "Muhammad" is derived from the Arabic root word "hamd" meaning "praise". It is the emphatic passive participle of that root and can be translated as "the Oft-Praised One". As for Ahmad, is the superlative form of the same root word "hamd". It means "the Highly Praised One". Ahmad is the name Jesus (peace be upon him) mentioned when he foretold of his coming. Allah says: "And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was revealed before me in the Torah, and bringing glad tidings of a Messenger who will come after me, whose name will be 'the Highly Praised One' (Ahmad)." [Sûrah al-Saff: 6] The Prophet (peace be upon him) also had the name al-Mutawakkil, meaning "the one who relies on Allah". The Prophet informs us that Allah said to him: "…and you are My servant and Messenger and I have named you al-Mutawakkil." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî] Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) enumerated a number of his names when he said: "I have many names: I am Muhammad. I am Ahmad. I am al-Mâhî (the Obliterator) by whom Allah obliterates disbelief. I am al-Hâshir (the Gatherer) who gathers the people at my feet. I am al-`Aqib (the Successor) whom none comes after."[Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim] The Companion Abû Mûsâ al-Ash`arî relates the following:
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) called himself by many names, some of which we committed to memory and some of which we did not. He said: "I am Muhammad. I am Ahmad. I am al-Muqaffî (the Sender). I am al-Hâshir. I am the Prophet of Penitence. I am the Prophet of Mercy." [Sahîh Muslim]
And Allah knows best.

Farewell: Jack Klugman pays tribute to Charles Bronson
In '48 and '49, Charlie and I were starving actors, selling blood for five bucks and living in one room on 113th and Broadway. Fourteen rooms on a floor, one bathroom. We paid seven bucks a week for the room. No sun, no scene, no nothing. His bed was on one side, mine was on the other. We were wonderful roommates. But when you live that close to someone, you become the Odd Couple.
He was the Felix. He was very neat and clean. He was a damn good ironer. You'd see those muscles pumping out. You'd never see a wrinkle on that shirt.
We'd first met working together in Atlantic City for Ed McMahon's father. His father ran this bingo house, and Charlie was on the microphone. Oh, he loved that: ''N, 33!'' And I collected the dimes. He told me he was going to become an actor, so I said, ''Charlie, come and live with me in New York.''
Charlie was not easy to get to know. Very, very private. We formed a nice friendship, but it was never binding. It was just a nice, good friendship, very loyal. (Bronson died of pneumonia in Los Angeles.)

Those of you lucky enough to catch the Oscars last night (here in France they were only aired on a pay cable channel that we don't have…sigh….) probably saw the funny, handsome Frenchman Jean Dujardin win Best Actor for his role in The Artist.
As he accepted his award, Dujardin's exuberance wasn't surprising. But France's reaction to his nomination and subsequent win, is.
Over the weekend, his chances at getting the Oscar was the topic of the feature story on just about any news program. For weeks, online articles about Dujardin, including ones promoting his latest film, Les Infidèles, were loaded with comments from readers like "Go Dujardin!" or "Best of luck, Jean!"
In some countries, showing support for a compatriot, be it for an acting award, a sporting event, or otherwise, is pretty standard. But in France, it's not the norm. I've often written that, by and large, the French character has a tendency towards cynicism and negativity. For me, Cyrano de Bergerac is a perfect example of the French attitude: he's brave, intelligent, and romantic, but he hides his vulnerability behind wit, self-deprecation, and even anger. When the French talk about athletes representing them at the Olympics, for example, they usually focus on the bad performances. Every pratfall, every error, every elimination evokes an expression from many of them – not the "Oh no!" that most of us would say, but "Ah bon, voilà, à la française." ("Ah, there you go, that's the French way.").
So why was there all this positivity and encouragement for Jean Dujardin, an unknown actor in America up against the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt?
By the time The Artist came out here, no one was surprised that Jean Dujardin had chosen another unusual, challenging role. Still, he did it so well that he took our breaths away. His Palme d'Or at Cannes last May was the first in a series of awards leading, of course, to the Oscar, which even outside America is seen as la crème de la crème.
Whether he's a guy in a typical couple, a ridiculous surfer, a silly spy, a father dealing with the loss of his daughter, or a silent film star about to lose everything, there's a glimmer of the everyman in Jean Dujardin, and I think that's what makes his success mean so much to the French. In him, they see something of themselves. His failures are their failures, understandable, regrettable, not something to mock. And his successes are something the whole country feels like they've won. Even Dujardin's fellow actors have expressed nothing but encouragement for him. In recent weeks, at just about every premier or celebrity interview here, the question of his chances at the Oscar have come up, and I haven't heard a single person make a rude or cynical comment about the guy or his nomination.
Glad the members of the academy was able to get past all the anti-Franco nonsense that seems to have gripped our nation in recent years.
Still haven't seen the picture (Nancy and I don't go to movies often), but we almost always go see the Best Picture flick soon after the awards.
Great post.
I knew nothing about him so well done ma fille.
I shall flourish my next "freedom fry" in salute to M. Dujardin!
Which sounds like a fancy French mustard to me.
Your continued explorations into the French psyche fascinate me.
"cyrano de Bergerac is a perfect example of the French attitude: he's brave, intelligent, and romantic, but he hides his vulnerability behind wit, self-deprecation, and even anger."
Anger is against what? I love wit and selfdeprecation, for "self" ultimately does not exist..
I am no Francophile. Nor am I an Anglophile . more a Germanophile.
As you can tell from my ponderous reasonings…………
The more I hear about my ancestral land the prouder I get.
Except for the insanity. Ww1 &2.
Comedy is the way to combat such merciless aggression.
Aggression can be filtered through comedy.
I hope that this is what will happen: everyone will someday wake up & see what an absurd world it is.
I saw his acceptance . very real emotion. Glad France has the chance to cheer.
The white elephant in the room is: why the hell do we put our identity and well-being into the figure of a celebrity? I think: ah, there have always been celebreties, since day one.
I was rooting for Clooney. He did a good job in Descendants.
Here's a piece a trivia:
Un Gars, une fille is based on the very successful and popular Quebec show of the same name (now only on DVD):
Un gars, une fille (Radio-Canada)
The concept of show was sold to several countries (and was adapted in many different languages). The website lists 21 in total and, apparently, the show holds the record for the largest number of scripts (or rights to use the original premise of the scripted show) sold around the world.
Frank – I'm glad of that, too, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys think about the movie. To me, it wasn't the best film nominated, though in terms of technique, directing, and acting, it was brilliant. But a film that I found completely engrossing was "The Descendants." I would have preferred that as Best Picture.
Rita – Thanks, and I'm also very happy that "The Artist" 's music was awarded, especially after reading your wonderful post about that.
Linda – We do indeed have so much in common! Why am I still surprised when something else we agree on comes up? I enjoyed "The Artist," and admired it for its quality, but I thought "The Descendants" had a better story and more subtly drawn characters. I wanted that to win Best Picture, with "The Artist" getting many other nods, including Best Actor for Jean Dujardin, who I really think is incredibly talented. Oh well, at least "The Descendants" got a screenplay nod!
jlsathre – I also adore Monsieur Dujardin and am so glad he's seducing fellow females across the pond!
BSB – Thanks. I really was just so proud of Jean Dujardin for taking on the role – and yet, as soon as I found out about it, something told me he'd be really good at it. I'm so glad I wasn't wrong. Also, I love when you write about celebrities and pop culture – are you planning to write anything about the Oscars? I dearly hope so!
Cranky – Thank you so much – I loved your piece on the Oscar nominees! I'm also really happy that the French could be so supportive and enthusiastic of Dujardin – he seems capable of evoking emotions even in real life.
Sarah – I haven't seen "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (called more simply "La Taupe" (The Mole) here in France – they LOVE concision), but I think Gary Oldman is amazingly talented and wouldn't have been upset to see him win just because I bet he rocked that role. I promise Jean Dujardin isn't only handsome,though – he really is talented, too!
designanator – It is surprising and I think that a lot of it is just a natural charisma and modesty, along with a great sense of humor. I hope he'll stay as grounded now that he's won an Oscar. He claims he wants to stay and work in France, but we'll see….
Stim – Haha! Losers indeed! :-p
Sally – Merci! I really hope Dujardin never loses that spark.
Steve – Thanks. If you can understand French, I would especially recommend "99 Francs" – it's one of the boyfriend and my favorite movies!
Cedar – Thanks!
steve – Thank you for the freedom fry flourish!
James – I think we often need a figure to relate to, and today's tend to be celebrities for most people. As for a culture to be a fan of, I have no particular one, having found flaws in all of them. I think there are great aspects of each culture, too, though. The German I most relate to is Ludwig II. As for "The Descendants", I really enjoyed that one, too and think it should have gotten Best Picture, but "The Artist" was pitch perfect and really quality filmmaking, too, so I don't feel awful. And I'm thrilled that the screenwriters of "The Descendants" got an award. They very much deserved it – how brilliantly written were those characters!
Kanuk – I knew that "Un gars, une fille" was originally a Canadian show, but I had no idea it had been developed in countries other than France! I understand, though: it's such a great, universal concept.
Miguela – He definitely was amazing in the role. I'm so thrilled he got the award! If you get a chance to see it, "The Artist" is definitely worth watching, although as I've written above, I found "The Descendants" to be a better film in terms of character study.
Deborah – Wow, I hadn't thought about that! If Dujardin does choose to have a more international career, I hope he'll be involved in projects half as cool as many that Banderas has done!
(tv entertainment show on that takes this shit seriously)
I have no clue as to why this might be important.
But I still admire em. The gals. In their gowns or whatever.
I may save up my money and get a gown.
It will be size I dunno , one or two?
Keep it in my closet for the perfect chick.
Watch her try to squeeze into it, with her REAL feminine curves etc.
Tell her: oh you cannot fit into gown,no?
She: sir, I cannot.
Me: well we shall take it to my tailor to adjust it for you.
She:: sorry I gotta be such a damn girly curvy inconvenience, sir.
Me:all is forgiven
That is my phantasy. Haw.
James - When it comes to clothes, they always say to buy smaller than a woman's actual size, so that she thinks you think she looks slim. But I personally find it frustrating if I can't fit into something - and I'd especially be sad if I couldn't get into a lovely gown! Could you speak with a dressmaker, then have a life-sized image of the dress in your closet, and then tell the girl you'll get it made specially for her? That would be one heck of a gift!
but worth it. a gal fitting seamlessly and without pinches
into her beautiful gown sounds like a recipe for a heck of a night
out on the town.
well there is cameon diaz again. like she gives a shit about this.
but she is rich and can afford to have some fun.
the 2012 oscars were a smashing suck-sess, say my sources.
all the babes are on display, none of them revealing too much.
mill jovovich is a classy gal, i think.
alot of innocence still in there.
helps her acting.
when i am awarded best director ,
i shall wear what i wear every day.
jeans, t shirt, and overcoat. black. but what about the hat/
wear it to the podium. take it on & off chaplinesque.
say something immensely important in elliptical terms.
what do ye think?
Your description of Dujardin is really strong on telling us how they react to success. The guy worked hard to get to where he's appreciated. I have to feel that it will always be a bit different there and for good reason. I will definitely look into your ''Beguile". Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Three of the top movies were related to France and fame and film- Hugo, Midnight in Paris, and The Artist. Perhaps it is the french year after all.

He's adorable, and while I know he's a wonderful actor, the emotion in his voice when he told Ms. Lamy he loved her and sent bisous to their kids was so real. I wish him all kinds of success in the future!

NEW YORK (AP) - An explosion has leveled two New York City apartment buildings, killing two people and injuring 17 others.
The New York Police Department says two females died in the East Harlem blast. No other information is available.
A utility company says a resident in a nearby building reported smelling gas shortly before the explosion Wednesday morning.
Con Edison spokesman Bob McGee says a resident from a building adjacent to the two that collapsed reported that he smelled gas inside his apartment, but thought the odor could be coming from outside.
He would not speculate on whether a gas leak caused the explosion.

While some older peach growers doubted such a plan would work when first proposed, the visits are well-received.
This cooperative merchandising approach is a good effort that grower-shippers of other commodities, particularly ones lacking marketing boards or commissions or those with smaller promotional budgets, would do well to consider adopting.

| Dáil Éireann - Volume 656 - 17 June, 2008 Written Answers. - Decentralisation Programme. Deputy Richard Bruton Deputy Richard Bruton 941 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the individual current and capital budgets allocated by Government, whether through the Office of Public Works or through departmental and agency budgets, for the provision of new office accommodation for agencies and Departments (details supplied) as part of the decentralisation prog[941] ramme; the status of the process of securing new office accommodation for these agencies and Departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23578/08] Deputy Martin Cullen Deputy Martin Cullen Deputy Martin Cullen: Of the total allocation of €833 million provided in the NDP for the total Decentralisation programme, an estimate of €60 million is provided for agencies whose costs will not be funded through the OPW vote. The balance of €773 million represents the estimated cost of providing accommodation for all the Departments and agencies whose accommodation will be paid for by the OPW. Property solutions are being pursued in respect of some remaining locations being funded through the OPW vote and firm scale costs will emerge on foot of actual cost proposals being received from the market. It would not be possible to give definitive costings in advance of final agreement on specific proposals. It is expected however that overall costs will remain within the published estimate figures. The tabular statement below illustrates the status of the process of securing new office accommodation for those agencies mentioned by the Deputy, which fall under the remit of this Department.

The 1941-42 NHL season was the dawn of the Original Six. The Brooklyn Americans had survived that year, barely, but never made it to the next- the team was 'suspended' because of the war, never to be revived again. Through the 20s, the NHL had grown, featuring ten teams from 1926-1931, but the Depression killed off most of the experimental expansion franchises. By the end of 1942, only six would remain: the eccentric Blackhawks and the faded Canadiens, the nasty Bruins and the star-chasing Rangers, the Leafs and the Red Wings.
When these last two met in the 1942 Stanley Cup Final, the Wings were the considered the underdog. In the regular season, they'd finished fifth, fifteen points behind the second-place Leafs, and although Detroit had two Cups to Toronto's one, the Leafs had had an unmatched eight SCF appearances in the previous ten years. Both Jack Adams and Conn Smythe had built their teams up from nothing, but of the two, Smythe had been more successful. At the time, the Leafs were the most lucrative, most popular, and increasingly the most dominant team in the NHL. They were on the verge of greatness. The Red Wings, on the other hand, were still a work in progress. Although James Norris was willing to spend freely on players, Adams had not yet been able to net any stars of League-wide proportions. Fans in Detroit were still only half-educated about hockey, and Red Wings games were still subject to massive influxes of Ontarian Leafists, who would heckle the home team mercilessly in their own barn.
So if you'd gone down to the bull ring, where the bookies of Maple Leaf Gardens did their business, in March 1942, you probably would have found that most of the money was on the Leafs. They were no Kingsesque juggernaut, but they were most definitely favored. It came, then, as a tremendous shock to the hockey world when they proceeded to lose three games in a row and put themselves on the brink of a pathetic sweeping-out.
The standard explanation given for the Leafs' failure in games 1-3 has to do with tactics. To hear some of the history books tell it, you'd think Jack Adams invented dump-and-chase in 1942. The Red Wings were playing the aggressively simplistic style we now associate with weaker teams everywhere- get the puck in deep, dig it off the boards, try to pop it out into the slot. It sounds ridiculous to think of this as a novel idea, but perhaps it makes some sense when one considers the context. The forward pass had only been legalized a little over a decade before, so at that point traditional hockey strategy still emphasized the importance of having an artistic center or a rushing defenseman carry the puck into the zone. Moreover, at that time there was no red line and dump-ins from just over the defensive blue line were perfectly legal. By throwing the puck all the way down the ice from wherever they were, the Wings were challenging the Leafs to a lot of footraces, and the Leafs weren't winning them.
Dump-and-chase may also have been a particularly effective plan because the Leafs were, then as now, an ideologically-driven team. Conn Smythe was obsessive about offense, so much so that when he left the team to go off to war, he left a directive with the board stating that the Leafs must "at all times stress offensive tactics and players." Although his coach, Hap Day, was an early proponent of defensive systems, Smythe was apt to throw screaming fits if he felt his team wasn't attacking hard enough, and in the Gardens, Smythe's fits were law. He'd been away from the team for most of the season, preparing his battalion to go to Europe, but he came back for the Finals and brought his standards with him. If, in the first three games, the Leafs were playing a style that predisposed them to have a lot of their players deep in the offensive zone, it's easy to imagine how Adam's method of dumping it two-thirds of the length of the ice might have worn them down.
But the how does not matter so much as the what, and the what was that the Leafs found themselves down 0-3 in the Stanley Cup Final. A scant four years previous, that would have been enough to eliminate them entirely, for the Finals had only been made a seven game series in 1939. Maybe something about that made the situation seem less dire. These men had played in a hockey world where three losses would have been the certain end. Now they were playing in a world where there was still a tiny glimmer of possibility. They were seriously disadvantaged, true, but there was a chance where there had been none before. Maybe the comeback didn't seem quite so impossible in 1942.
Game four began much as the others had. The Leafs fell behind early, giving up two goals to Detroit in the first period. During the second intermission, Hap Day decided to pursue the venerable and ancient coaching strategy of 'doing crazy shit in order to shake things up'. He mounted a two-pronged attack of guilt and fear against his players. First, in the dressing room he read a letter from a 14-year-old girl named Doris Klein, who was one of those heckling Leafs fans living in Detroit, and had written to beg the team to win so she could hold her head high etc etc. Then, after soaking his players' hearts in the warm fuzzies of adolescent devotion, he ended with a gut-punch to the ego: Gordie Drillon, the team's leading scorer, was going to benched for the rest of the game. Don Metz, little-known but in Day's eyes more defensively responsible, was going to get his ice time.
When Metz scored late in the second to put the Leafs up 4-3, Day must have felt tremendously vindicated, but fact is he didn't have enough letters from teenage girls or stars to bench to keep doing this for three more games. As much as it would be touching to think of either of those moves as the great turning point of the series, the truth is both less sweet and more hockeyish. The real watershed moment came at the end of the game and didn't involve the Leafs at all. It was all about Jack Adams.
See, Adams had noticed that the Red Wings were getting rather more penalties in this series than they generally got in hockey games. Something on the order of fifteen times more, actually. The Red Wings PIMs-per-game average in the regular season had hovered around nine. In four games against the Leafs, though, they'd averaged 135. That's 135 penalty minutes, on average, per game. When referee Mel Harwood doled out twenty-two more minutes against the Wings- trailing by one goal, with the Cup on the line- in the final moments of the third period, it was too much for Adams to handle. As soon as the game was over, he jumped onto the ice and attacked the ref.
Adams and Harwood, the one in shoes and the other on skates, exchanged punches on the ice. A Wings player tried to intervene and was soon drawn in himself, and as the fight pressed along the boards, a few eager spectators jumped in. On the other side of the ice, a different group of fans decided to attack a linesman, who hadn't even been involved in the controversial calls. Soon brawls were erupting all over the arena. Harwood, badly beaten, had to be rescued by police. Frank Calder, the NHL president, was similarly saved from a fan assault. Both were given an armed escort back to their hotel, from whence, shortly after, Calder announced that Jack Adams was suspended from the NHL indefinitely.
Remember, Jack Adams is, at this point, both the Wings GM and coach. He is that franchise, both its chief architect and its master strategist. For his players and fans, he is the focus of a cult of personality similar to that which grew around Smythe in Toronto. And now he is banned from joining his team for either practices or games. He's cut off. The Red Wings drop the next two games miserably, losing 9-3 and then 3-0, and the series goes back to Toronto.
The atmosphere before a game seven is always tense, but this one is more so than most. Adams makes the trip up independently, but still can't work with his team. Toronto photographers catch him in the lobby of Maple Leaf Gardens, trying to call in instructions to his assistants on a pay phone, provoking another round of public screaming and threats from the Wings guru. Smythe comes down in his full military regalia, eager play the role of General Inspiring the Troops in the most literal possible way. Reporters chase Day around the building with questions: Will Drillon play? Will Smythe be behind the bench? In the dressing room? Will they follow an offensive or defensive style? The Gardens sells out and then some, setting a new record for the largest crowd ever to attend a hockey game- 16,218.
Smythe watched the game from his box. Adams had to listen to Foster Hewitt from the dressing room. The first period was tense, scoreless. In the second, Detroit went up a goal, and with Drillon still not playing, the Leafs scoring potential was doubtful. Just before the third period, Smythe went down to the dressing room to deliver his great speech, strutting around with his medals on his chest, shaming his team with every attack on their courage, dignity, and masculinity he could manage. The players, reportedly, laughed at him, and then went out and scored three unanswered goals. The Leafs won their second Stanley Cup, four games to three. It was the first, last, and only time a team has come back from a three-game deficit to win in the Finals.
In the picture, Calder presents the Cup to Day and Syl Apps, while Smythe steals Calder's hat and waves it at the crowd. Conn Smythe was a fabulously successful man, but he never looked happier, anywhere, than in that photo. It makes sense. That may well be the happiest moment in hockey history.
One time doesn't mean a whole lot in hockey, where lots of strange things happen once and never again. The 1942 Leafs comeback is an artifact of a different time- different rules, different coaching strategies, different moral values. I doubt there are any practical lessons the Devils can take from this story to help them take down the Kings, except perhaps for this one: it is possible.
That, and 'try to provoke Daryl Sutter into punching a ref.'
