Below are additional testimonials from patients who have been using MMS to treat their cancer. If you have been ingesting MMS for 3 months or longer and would like to include your comments surrounding your experience of using MMS to treat cancer, please email Glen Russell at firstname.lastname@example.com
"Hi Glen. I was disappointed with the results of your study, as I'm sure you were. My wife's story is a success story. I know she is not part of the study, but I'd be glad to put together a Word Doc for your records. Synapsis: 30 year old Female with Breast Cancer metastatic to bones, liver, and malignant pleural effusion. Started MMS in May, battled many of the same side effects. However, she "toughed it out" and got to 12 drops x 3 times per day. In May, she was barely ambulatory. Today, her lymph nodes are not palpable, her primary breast lesion has shrunk 90 percent, and she is without pain (except for soreness caused by a partially collapsed vertebrae from spinal metastasis.) We have not had any major scans, except an X-Ray that showed her pleural effusion reduced from 60 percent to less than 10. She also had subcutaneous tumors on her skull, which have completely disappeared. We don't need tests to tell us the cancer is receding, however, we may get a PET Scan in January so we can document our story. She has never had chemo - she did have 15 rounds of radiation to her hip to alleviate pain in January, 5 months before MMS. MMS has given her life back!! Having briefly read the study, I have to agree that compliance is difficult. However, when the heart and the mind really believe something is working, it can be done! Please let me know if you want me to put her history in a document for you. Thanks for your efforts. Brian Maggiacomo."
Jim Humble: "Glen. I appreciate your efforts tremendously. Great work. So let me update you a little bit. I may not have stressed some points in my book that should have been stressed more. So point number one is that all cancer patients must totally understand in the initial instructions is that they must not make themselves nauseous with the MMS and they must not allow diarrhoea to continue. One must always back off on the number of drops, but do not stop. If nausea occurs be sure to reduce the drops so that nausea does not occur. The after taste can be overcome with various things, a very strong peppermint works for most people. Suck on a peppermint candy until no after taste is gone and then save the candy in a glass for the next dose. Sorry to make the regimen tougher, but we have gotten tremendous results from the skin dose using DMSO. A person really needs help from a friend.
The protocol is on my web site [http://jimhumble.biz/?page_id=94] but it consists of using 10 drops of MMS activated with 50 drops lemon or cirtic acid 10% solution, the 3 minute wait, and then add one teaspoon of DMSO. Stir it in and immediately spread on one arm or leg. The intensity is do this once every hour after the first day [for up to 12 hours per day], but only 3 days a week. It all depends upon how bad a person wants to live. A man here in Mexico came to see us here at the house. His relatives brought him as he couldn't get out of bed himself. He had a tumor on his neck the size of an orange. He was totally depressed. They had given him a tracheotomy. He started the regimen and in three days he quit taking his pain pills. I had him spray the tumor with MMS in addition. The tumor started coming apart and chunks began to fall off. In two weeks it was down to the size of 1/2 lemon. At the end of three weeks, he was getting out of bed and walking here, about 2 miles.
Now the next step. Hypochlorous acid is the acid that the human immune system uses to kill most of the things that it needs to kill. So swimming pool chlorine turns into, guess what, hypochlorous acid, when the chlorine powder is dropped into the water. Don't you think that the immune system could use some help in a body that is being killed? Well it can. I have been taking the swimming pool chlorine off and on for several years. I put it in a capsule. I have had many people take them during that time. An uncle of a friend here in Mexico was dying of cancer. The family said he would never get out of the bed again. So we started him on the regimen. That's MMS 5 times a day, skin doses of 10 drops on various different parts of the body every hour, and the hypochlorous tablets, 6 a day. In one day he was out of bed, in three days he quit taking his pain tablets, and in 3 weeks he is back to work. Those are only two cases. I have had several more over the phone and quite a few by email. It seems to me at this point it all depends upon how bad the people want to live. Killing the cancer depends on making the body environment just totally opposed to cancer. And doing it without nausea, or diarrhoea. I used size zero capsules, up to 6 a day scattered across the day, but with two glasses of water each time, and two capsules at a time after they get used to them. The first time or two the capsules may cause heart burn, but usually the body seems to adjust to them. There are problems. Some people have delicate skin and need aloe vera and or olive oil afterwards. Some need to dilute the DMSO 50% (one teaspoon of water). We only suggest it 3 days a week as the skin needs to recover. This is not in the book or even on my web site yet, but in my opinion I now have enough data to suggest it to be used. There has never been any side effects that I could see. Jim Humble."
"Hi Glen, thank you SO much for this! I really appreciate it. I haven't read the entire document in detail, but what I've gathered from it is that it really does help cancer patients who are consistent in using it. I was also relieved to find that other people found it difficult to take it so many times a day, especially given the requirement (or recommendation) to take it away from meals. I am still using it both externally (rubbing it on with DMSO 2-3 times a day) and using 30 drops (with DMSO) in a footbath, as well taking it internally 3-4 times a day. I still believe that it will help me get well, especially given what a medical intuitive whom I consult with told me (that MMS is "liquid light" and that I would get well using it). I can let you know what eventually happens if you'd like me to include you. I feel like I should, given that you're doing various studies with it and are probably in contact with people who could benefit from it. So I will keep you posted. Thanks again. Take care, Donna Koss." [Original MMS Study Participant].

Affymax And Takeda Announce Analyses From OMONTYS® (peginesatide) Injection Phase 3 Dialysis Studies Presented At 2012 American Society Of Nephrology Meeting
"Anemia management is multi-faceted and given the interdependence of irons and ESAs in red blood cell production, it's important to evaluate utilization of these agents in dialysis patients who are being treated for the condition," said Robert Provenzano, MD, Chair, Division of Nephrology, St. John Hospital & Medical Center, Detroit, and presenter of these EMERALD analyses. "The observations of these post-hoc analyses from the EMERALD studies may warrant further scientific evaluation."
According to the OMONTYS prescribing information, healthcare professionals should correct or exclude other causes of anemia, including iron deficiency, before initiating treatment. The majority of patients with CKD will require supplemental iron during the course of ESA therapy. Evaluate transferrin saturation and serum ferritin prior to and during treatment, and administer supplemental iron when serum ferritin is less than 100 mcg/L or when serum ferritin saturation is less than 20%. For lack or loss of response to OMONTYS, initiate a search for causative factors, including iron deficiency. Please see full prescribing information, available at www.omontys.com.
About the EMERALD Studies
Evaluating approximately 1,600 dialysis patients across 172 sites in the U.S. and Europe, the primary efficacy endpoint of the EMERALD 1 and 2 studies was a mean change in Hb between the baseline and evaluation period (between weeks 29 through 36) following study entry. In these trials, CKD patients on dialysis who were stable on epoetin were randomized to receive OMONTYS either once monthly or to continue treatment with epoetin (according to its labeling), with dose adjustments to maintain Hb levels within the study-specified range (between 10.0-12.0 g/dL). Current Prescribing Information recommends reducing or interrupting the dose as Hb levels approach or exceed 11 g/dL.
The EMERALD studies were part of the first Phase 3 program to prospectively evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) safety of different ESAs based on a composite cardiovascular safety endpoint (CSE). The CSE was adjudicated by a blinded and independent committee.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
Social Media marketing is not new nor is it widely established or even understood. However in 2010, it will completely transform the way businesses attract customers and the way consumers find the businesses and services that matter to them. And like that, an overnight landmark, which really is over a decade in the making, will challenge business owners, more so than today, as they now compete for the future, right now. Social Networks are no longer the playgrounds we once perceived. The simple truth is this; social networking is not for just for kids or people with too much free time on their hands.

(This is a daily report on global news about patents, trademarks, copyright and other intellectual property topics. Adds Pepin Heights Orchard Inc. item in patent section.)
Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Amazon.com Inc., the world's largest online retailer, won a federal appeals court ruling that patent claims brought by software maker Cordance Corp. related to one-click shopping and customer feedback procedures weren't valid, reversing a decision by a trial judge.
The ruling Sept. 23 from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington reinstated a verdict by a federal jury in Delaware. The jury found that while elements of a Cordance patent had been infringed by Amazon, the claims were invalid. The trial judge later reversed the finding on infringement, leading to Amazon's appeal.
"The district court erred" in ruling that the Cordance claims were valid, the three-judge appeals court panel wrote. The claims were anticipated, making them invalid, the court said.
Cordance had initially sought more than $84 million in damages for infringement of three patents that are related to allowing customers to store payment information and shipping addresses in their Amazon customer accounts. The jury only found infringement for one of the three contested patents. Michael A. Albert, of Boston's Wolf Greenfield Sacks PC and who represented Cordance, declined to immediately comment.
Cordance, a patent holder and software developer, sued Seattle-based Amazon in 2006, contending it was misusing technology patented by Cordance for one-click shopping and customer feedback procedures.
The case is Cordance Corp. v. Amazon.com Inc., 10-1502, 1545, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Washington).
Samsung Files Suits Against Apple in Netherlands, Court Says
Samsung Electronics Co. filed four lawsuits against Apple Inc. in the Netherlands and the first hearing in the cases is scheduled for today, according to The Hague court.
"There will be hearings on four different suits," according to a court spokeswoman, who didn't want to comment on the content of the complaints and declined to be identified citing court policy.
Dutch website Webwereld.nl reported Samsung is claiming the Cupertino, California-based company's iPhone and iPad that use 3G technology infringe Samsung patents. Samsung is seeking a ban of the sale of such products in The Netherlands, Webwereld said.
The legal battle between Apple and rival smartphone makers is intensifying as an increasing number of consumers use smartphones and wireless handsets to surf the Web, play games and download music and videos. Samsung lost a preliminary court ruling over sales of its Galaxy S, S II and Ace smartphones in the country in another patent dispute with Apple last month.
Samsung declined to comment on the planned hearing. Apple didn't have an immediate comment.
S3 Graphics Targets Apple in Patent Complaint at Trade Agency
S3 Graphics Co., the image-compression technology company being bought by phonemaker HTC Corp., filed a complaint against Apple Inc. at the U.S. International Trade Commission.
The content of the complaint filed Sept 22 wasn't immediately made public. The ITC, an arbiter of trade disputes with the power to block imports of products found to infringe U.S. patents, posted a notice of S3's filing Sept 23.
S3, in a separate ITC case in July, won a partial ruling against Cupertino, California-based Apple that said the Mac OS X computer system violates patents. The judge's decision is under review by the full commission. Fremont, California-based S3 makes image-compression technology and its Texture Compression feature is used in Nintendo Co.'s Wii and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation portable gaming systems.
Taoyuan, Taiwan-based HTC, Asia's second-biggest maker of smartphones, agreed to buy closely held S3 for $300 million in July. HTC and Apple have targeted each other in patent- infringement complaints as part of a struggle among smartphone makers for market share.
Dispute Ends Between University, Growers of Patented Apple
A dispute between the University of Minnesota and a group of the state's apple growers has ended in what court papers describe as "a compromise settlement of all issues."
The growers sued the university in state court in June 2010 because they objected to the school's exclusive license with Pepin Heights Orchard Inc. of Lake City, Minnesota. The license covered a patented apple variety sold as the SweeTango.
This early-season apple, a cross between the Honeycrisp and Zestar apples, was developed through the use of state funding, according to court papers. It's covered by a plant patent U.S. PP18,812, which was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in May, 2008, according to the database of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Under Pepin's license, the Lake City-based orchard could give permission to others to grow a limited number of trees of the SweeTango variety only if they were sold to consumers within the state at their orchards, farmers markets or direct store delivery.
The other growers were barred from pooling their crops to sell to a large retailer or to any wholesaler, they said in their complaint. They claimed this was an unfair restraint of trade and violated state antitrust laws and federal laws barring unfair agricultural-trade issues.
Under the terms of the settlement, although the growers other than Pepin will be able to grow a larger number of SweeTango trees than previously, they still are barred from selling their apples wholesale. They must also pay $25,000 toward the cost of Pepin Orchard's attorney fees, according to the settlement agreement.

Warnaco's Speedo Unit Sues Over Aussie Gay Porno Websites
Warnaco Group Inc.'s Speedo unit went to court in Australia to enforce the company's trademarks against an Australian website operator, United Press International reported.
The New York-based company objected to the use of its marks in connection with gay-oriented pornography sites, according to UPI.
Speedo is also asking for money damages and to be awarded those websites whose names contain the word "Speedo," UPI reported.
The bathing suit company said it filed the suit to protect the "reputation and goodwill" associated with its mark, according to UPI.
UHS Trademark Issues Derail Hospital's Name Change
North Carolina's University Health Systems is consulting with a marketing group in efforts to come up with a new name that doesn't trigger a trademark-infringement complaint from Pennsylvania's Universal Health Services Inc., the Greenville, North Carolina-based Daily Reflector newspaper reported.
The North Carolina health-care system's plans to change its name to UHS Medical Center brought a letter from the Pennsylvania group warning of possible infringement issues, according to the newspaper.
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania-based Universal Health Services has four facilities in North Carolina, according to the Daily Reflector.
Dave McRae, chief executive officer of the North Carolina system, told the newspaper that while it wants to keep some sort of geographic designation in its new name, "the early exploration we've done leads us to believe there are few options left that would allow us to use the word 'east' or some other similar word to designate the geography region."
Netflix Files Application for 'Qwikster' Trademark After All
Netflix Inc., which said it would split its mail-order DVD business off from its video-streaming service, didn't try to register the name for the new entity until the day after the announcement was made.
The Los Gatos, California-based company said Sept. 18 that the name of the mail-order spinoff would be "Qwikster," and that it would be created "in coming weeks."
The following day the San Francisco Chronicle noted that no applications had been filed to register as a trademark. The newspaper also reported that one user of Twitter Inc.'s short- messaging service had already been using qwikster as his online identity.
That same day Netflix filed two applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register the term as a trademark.
According to the application, the trademark would be used for "retail services; online retail store services; computerized on-line retail services featuring films, movies, motion pictures, video recordings, pre-recorded videotapes, digital video disks, digital versatile discs (or DVDs), Blu-ray discs, videotape cassettes, audio recordings, multimedia." recordings and games."
No Hammer and Sickle Trademarks in EU, European Court Rules
The hammer and sickle symbol used by the Soviet Union cannot be registered as a trademark, the General Court of the European Union ruled, the CBC reported.
The application filed by Couture Tech Ltd. of Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, was rejected because in EU member state Hungary, the use of the symbol is "contrary to public policy and to accepted principles of morality," according to the CBC.
The court needed to look only at Hungary because a rejection in any one member state is grounds enough for rejection throughout the EU, the CBC reported.

BBC Sues Berlusconi's Mediaset Over Ballroom Dancing Program
The British Broadcasting Corp., the U.K.'s public service broadcaster, is suing Mediaset SpA for copyright infringement over a ballroom dancing show, the U.K.'s Independent reported.
Mediaset, which is controlled by the family of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, is accused of infringing the BBC's copyright related to its "Strictly Come Dancing" show format, according to the Independent.
Italian public broadcaster Rai has run a licensed version of the BBC's show for the past six years, the Independent reported.
The BBC is objecting to a proposed program called "Baila!," to be aired on Mediaset's Canale 5 beginning this week, according to the Independent.

Helping lesbians with disabilities or chronic illness live as normally as possible
P.O. Box 541095
Houston, TX 77254
(713) 521-4628
AssistHers is dedicated to creating a community of caregivers who
Provide a network of support to lesbian women struggling with debilitating or life-threatening illnesses in order for them to live as normally as possible
Educate lesbian women and others about important health issues, with special emphasis on lesbian-related health concerns
Eradicate discrimination and break down barriers which lesbians face when accessing health and social service systems
On April 10, 1996, 25 Houston-area lesbian physicians, social workers, police officers, entrepreneurs, and others pooled their resources and experience to found AssistHers, an organization designed to create a community of caregivers that provide
assistance to and advocacy for lesbian women who have a debilitating or life challenging disease, illness, or condition
, and
provide education to the Houston-area lesbian, medical, and social service communities to help eliminate barriers to healthcare
. The work of the organization reflects a grassroots effort to realize one of the overarching goals of Healthy People 2010: To eliminate health disparities among different cultural groups.
Since our inception in 1996, more than 800 AssistHers volunteers have been trained to provide in-home care to over 100 women, as well as their partners and other family members. AssistHers is currently serving over 20 clients and we have over 80 active volunteers. New teams are formed as new clients present to AssistHers for services. Our clients suffer from conditions like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, brain and spinal cord injury, fibromyalgia, breast cancer, stroke, and other debilitating illnesses. Over half of our clients have no partner or family support. Many of them have illnesses or disabilities that will require years of support from AssistHers.
Creating a community of caregivers who know how to care for themselves is another major goal of the organization. One of the barriers to lesbians accessing healthcare is misinformation by both lesbians and healthcare providers about lesbian healthcare needs.
Once a month, all volunteers (care team members, board members, committee members), guests, and the public have the opportunity to attend a
30-minute education session starting at 11:30 am
presented by a variety of guest speakers. This planned interaction enables AssistHers volunteers and guests to interface with members of the local medical and social service community, and it provides ongoing training for the volunteers.
The public is always welcome to attend these sessions at the Bering Memorial United Methodist Church, 1440 Harold Street, 2nd floor, Houston, TX 77006.
The topics are diverse, such as homophobia in healthcare, lesbian legal issues, "Understanding Lab Tests for the Lay-person," "How to Use the System: Managed Care 101," cancer screening and prevention, HIV/AIDS, lesbian battering, women and addiction, depression, and so forth. Clearly, the topics address not only specific diagnoses, but they also address how one can overcome barriers to accessing healthcare. Both healthcare professionals and volunteers benefit from this dynamic interaction.

I have all heavy clay soils in my yard, so I have built my entire garden and flower planters in raised beds made of 2x8 lumber. Some ar 8" high other are up to 24" high.
I would like to cover them with something that is decorative. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking tile. I would have to make the grout lines of silicone, since morter would crack in our winters. ROBERT Pittsburgh, PA |

Hi I just read about winter sowing (http://www.wintersown.org/) and am curious about it. Wondering if anyone in the city of San Francisco has actually tried this and had any success? The temps here don't usually get below 40 degrees (except for that freak almost-frost we had a couple of weeks ago). I'd love to try it on my newly acquired lavender seeds... Thanks! |

You can winter sow in San Fransisco, nature does it all the time. I have a area covered with 1/4 inch hardware cloth to protect seeds from the birds, not the weather, that I use for starting seeds, especially native plant seeds. It is really natures way of stratifying your seeds. The fluctuating temperature between day and night is actually beneficial to the germination of many seeds. Al |

Donna Orender played key role in WNBA growth
WNBA president Donna Orender has stepped down from her post in order to launch her own independent marketing, media and strategy company after five-plus years. Her tenure will come to a close on Dec. 31. Orender is leaving the league during its crucial adolescent years, but the league's connection with the NBA, and its improving product will help it stay afloat during this period of transition.
NBA commissioner David Stern, who serves as an ambassador for the WNBA whenever given the chance, will help select the next president and set criteria for the position. NBA senior vice president Chris Granger will serve as an interim president for the league. Stern says the new president could be male or female.
"I would like to continue the growth that we've seen in Donna's watch, particularly in the fact that there is a lot to be said about having great role models for young women who want to compete in sports, business and life."
The WNBA will no doubt survive and prosper because the big boys at the NBA have got their back.
Prognosticators want to peg Orender's resignation as a sign of the WNBA's downfall, but really Orender's exit is just growing pains of a league in its teenage years. This isn't the first time the league has lost its president. Orender replaced league president Val Ackerman in 2005 and saw the league's success grow. The same should happen with the initiation of the new president. At 14 years old, the WNBA has survived longer than any women's professional league in the nation. Under Orender's reign, the WNBA has increased in attendance, sponsorships and TV ratings. She also created labor peace, something the NBA is struggling with, with a six-year contract extension with the players' association.
In its infancy, the WNBA did survive because its losses were subsidized by the NBA, but things have changed.
"The NBA is doing better than breaking even on the WNBA," Stern said in the Los Angeles Times.
The WNBA has become profitable, even more profitable than the NBA, and should see growth, even in a slowing economy. But like any adolescent, the WNBA had its growth spurt accompanied by a few blemishes.
During Orender's period in office the WNBA lost three franchises: the Charlotte Sting, Sacramento Monarchs and four-time champion Houston Comets. Then there was the relocation of a successful Detroit Shock team to Tulsa. Winning did not make a team immune to financial woes. Those who want to point to the relocation or disappearance of these teams as a sign of the league's collapse need to look back at the history of the NBA.
The NBA is way past its adolescent years but has moved teams from Rochester to Kansas City to Sacramento, then Charlotte to New Orleans and had early teams like the Indianapolis Olympians fold. With these moves, no one spoke of the NBA's downfall, they were just financial moves that needed to be made. Now with the NBA on the precipice of a labor lockout, the idea of contraction has been tossed around as a way to improve. Retaining teams with owners who have lackluster interest or teams in financial trouble won't help the WNBA move into the future. A league's got to do what it's got to do to survive.
Orender has stressed that she is not leaving because of issues with the league but just to take another step in her life. She plans to do consulting work for the league after she leaves.
In a recent ESPN.com article she said, "My work on behalf of women and girls around the world will only deepen as will my ongoing engagement in sports. I am pleased to be able to continue my involvement with the WNBA as I move ahead."
Keeping a business savvy woman like Orender on staff and having an ally in commissioner Stern will help carry the WNBA into the future. Also the growing talent pool of girls with ankle-breaking crossovers who have grown up with the league is what will really keep the WNBA in people's homes and hearts.

Re:You have to love our freedoms (525 comments)
Another difference that you fail to mention is that we (the US) have been meddling in Cuba's affairs for damn near 100 years, including dozens of documented attempts to assassinate their head of state. For some reason, Cubans find this behavior objectionable, and the idea of seized assets dating before most of them were born being the justification for this conduct is laughable.
God knows I'm not saying the Castros are happy little fuzzy angels who never did no wrong, but it's indisputable that they're a damn sight better than some of the thugs we happily deal with in the rest of the world. It's ridiculous and childish to blame everything on them, but it plays well in certain areas of south Florida which hold disproportionate power come election time.

Better Leighton than never for Flyers | 05.11.10 at 12:39 am ET |
When last Michael Leighton was playing hockey in Boston, he was walking out of Fenway Park, not TD Garden. And he was walking a stunned loser of a classic hockey contest, not the hero who came out of nowhere Monday night to rescue the Flyers and continue their season.
Now, after finishing in relief of the injured Brian Boucher in net for the Flyers Monday night, Leighton believes he can help lead the Flyers to Stanley Cup playoff history.
The Flyers blanked the Bruins, 4-0, at TD Garden and stand just two wins away from becoming the third team in NHL history and just the fourth in the history of the NHL, NBA and MLB to turn the trick.
"We know we can," Leighton said. "In my eyes we've outplayed this team most of the games. The first game we came out slow because we had a long break. We've been there every game it's not like they're blowing us out. So we're confident as long as we come out and we're ready to play every game that we can win each game. We're just taking it game by game right now. We just have to brush this under the rug now and head back home and focus on that game."
Leighton was cleared to play before the game after missing nearly two months with a high right ankle sprain but seemed unlikely to play with Brian Boucher taking over the goaltending responsibilities and the Flyers playing hard in front of him.
But then Boucher fell backwards very awkwardly in the opening five minutes of the second period, injuring both knees according to Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren.
"I just went up to him and I didn't know the extent of the injury so I asked him how he was doing," Leighton said. "He said great job to me, I said great job to him. He was playing great the first period and that added a little incentive."
While Boucher was being gingerly helped to his skates and off the ice, Leighton made his first appearance for the Flyers since March 16, when he injured his knee in Nashville.
Maybe it's only appropriate that, win or lose, the season comes down to Michael Leighton since he was the man who replaced Ray Emery and Brian Boucher at the beginning of the season. Then he was installed as the No. 1 even when Boucher returned.
"I actually couldn't even believe it happened," Leighton said of the Boucher injury. "Obviously Ray going down early and then [Brian Boucher] goes down then Ray comes back then I get hurt. It's definitely been a roller coaster for the goalies this year but the team has done great playing in front of all of us. Ray's a great goalie and we wish him back and Boucher obviously has done well for this team and he's gotten us to the position we're in."
So why then does Leighton believe the Flyers can continue their roll?
"Because we're a good team," he said. "Look at our lineup. As long as we play well and we're confident in the way we can play, we're a good team and we've shown that. Throughout the season we've won the games we've needed to win, we've beaten some good teams. We've obviously lost to some teams that we should have beaten but we beat Detroit we beat Chicago, we beat the good teams. So confidence shouldn't be a problem because we know we can play with those teams."
2nd Period summary: Bruins vs. Flyers Game 5 | 05.10.10 at 8:55 pm ET |
This is what it felt like for the Bruins against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the same round last spring.
They were coming off a 4-1 rout of the Hurricanes in Game 1 and they had just blown away the Canadiens in four straight the round before.
Then Game 2 happened and the whole perspective of the series changed.
Fast forward to tonight and a 3-0 Flyers lead after two periods. The Bruins had just lost a heart-breaker in overtime in Philly but still had a commanding 3-1 series lead, needing just to win Game 5 on home ice to advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1992.
But the Flyers came to play and fight for their lives, even when Brian Boucher went down in the opening five minutes of the second with what appeared to be a nasty lower body injury. Boucher made a save and then immediately grabbed his midsection. He could barely make it to his skates before being helped off by Chris Pronger.
Enter Michael Leighton, the same Michael Leighton who started at Fenway Park on Jan. 1 and the same Michael Leighton who hadn't even been active in a game since suffering a high ankle sprain on March 16 in Nashville.
He was tested on a Bruins power play and then the Flyers rewarded him when Scott Hartnell finally got credit for a goal. Then the Bruins started taking undisciplined penalties and Simon Gagne finally made them pay with a power play goal on Philadelphia's fifth chance of the night.
The Flyers will begin the third period with another power play as Andrew Ference was whistled for a cross-checking penalty.
1st period Summary: Bruins vs. Flyers Game 5 | at 7:52 pm ET |
The Flyers apparently brought their rabbit foots, horseshoes and other assorted good luck charms for Game 5 as they lead the Bruins, 1-0, after 20 minutes.
Villie Leino gave the Flyers the lead at 6:41 of the first period when Chris Pronger took a shot from the mid-slot that Tuukka Rask could not contain. The rebound came out to the left of Rask and Scott Hartnell was originally credited with the goal when it appeared he poked in the rebound for his first goal of the playoffs and first in 22 games. But a replay showed it was Leino and he was given his second of the playoffs.
The Flyers then had a golden opportunity to add to it when Vladimir Sobotka took a high sticking penalty on Hartnell. But the Bruins killed off 2 minutes, 37 seconds of it when the Flyers took a sloppy penalty on a line change for too many men on the ice.
Toward the end of the Bruins power play, Marc Savard had the puck on his stick and appeared to score, only to have the puck slip behind Boucher and through the crease.
Earlier in the first, Blake Wheeler was all alone in front of Boucher for a point-blank chance, only to have the puck roll off his stick before he could fire a shot. Then there was the shot from the right point that Milan Lucic and Miroslav Satan both appeared to get a piece of. The spotlight came on in front of Boucher, signaling a goal celebration.
One minor problem. The puck bounced straight up in the air and Boucher gloved it.
The Flyers outshot the Bruins, 10-8, in the first period and will start the second period with 33 seconds of power play time after Satan was called for a tripping late in the period.
Melrose on D&C: B's 'playing a great brand of hockey' | 05.07.10 at 9:05 am ET |
ESPN hockey analyst Barry Melrose joined Dennis & Callahan Friday morning to talk about the Bruins-Flyers series. To hear the interview, click on the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
"I think Boston, of the eight teams left, are playing the best playoff hockey," Melrose said. "They're giving up nothing. They're playing a great brand of hockey right now."
Melrose said the Bruins' discipline in coach Claude Julien's system has been great to watch. "I love the way Boston's playing," he said. "When they give up a shot, it's from the side. Tuukka Rask is playing great. No outnumbered chances — no 3-on-2s, 2-on-1s. Boston's playing the system to a 'T.' But again, are they going to be able to score? [David] Krejci's out, [Marco] Sturm's out, [Marc] Savard's probably about 75-80 percent. It's been amazing how they've been able to score with all these guys out of the lineup."
Melrose said that if the Bruins take command in this game the Flyers will focus on the physical aspect, but don't expect any brawls. "It won't get ugly like it did in the '70s, but it will get chippy," Melrose said. "Philly's a chippy team anyways. They always take a lot of penalties. They've got some guys on the ice that will go a little stir crazy. But it will be nothing like the old days. There won't be any fights or anything like that. There will be maybe a couple of pushing and shoving matches, a few scrums. The dark days of hockey are over. It will never be like those days. But it will get chippy if the game gets out of hand."
If the Bruins can close out the Flyers, Melrose suggested B's fans should pull for the Canadiens to upset the Penguins in the other Eastern Conference semifinal. "I think if Boston plays Montreal they can beat them," he said. "I don't think Boston can beat Pittsburgh."
Boychuk on D&H: Krejci 'took a hit for the team' | 05.06.10 at 1:35 pm ET |
Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk joined the Dale & Holley show Thursday afternoon to talk about the Bruins' success in the Stanley Cup playoffs. To hear the interview, click on the Dale & Holley audio on demand page. Boychuck was asked if he felt capable of providing more offense to help make up for the loss of Marco Sturm and David Krejci to injuries. "I know I can do it for sure," Boychuk said. "With those two guys out, everybody's going to have to step up their game. I can't really jump up in the rush at the wrong time, but when I see an opportunity to jump up in the rush, I'm going to make sure to do it and try to put the puck in the back of the net."
On the hit from Flyers forward Mike Richards that injured Krejci Wednesday night, Bochuk said: "It actually looked like a clean hit to me. It was unfortunate that Krejci got hurt on it, but he made a play and we scored a pivotal goal in the game last night. He took a hit for the team, and we made sure to capitalize when it happened."
Boychuk took some heat from Sabres fans for his hit that injured forward Thomas Vanek in the first round, but Boychuck said he doesn't care if he's the bad guy in Buffalo. "I don't even think it was a cheap shot," he said. "It was just a hockey-instinct play. It wasn't like I was trying to hurt him. But they had to point the finger at somebody, so they had to point it at me, I guess. I just take it as it is. If they want to point the finger for their loss at me, then go ahead. That's fine by me. It won't bother me at all, and I'll just keep playing the way I am."
On the contributions of veteran forward Mark Recchi, Boycuk said, "I think we have to check his birth certificate, because he sure doesn't play like a [42]-year-old. He's a great team leader, and he plays like he's 25. Having him in the dressing room — just his presence in the dressing room helps our whole team out just by keep it calm, keeping it cool. He gets goals for us that we need and want."
On goalie Tuukka Rask, Boychuck said, "He's kind of like an ice man. Nothing really bothers him. He's always focused and into the game. You can't really get him off his game easy."
The 'perfect' road win | at 12:09 am ET |
PHILADELPHIA — The Bruins had plenty of chances to be demoralized in the opening four minutes of the game. They fell behind 1-0 on a misplay by a rookie defenseman. They then lost one of their leading playmakers and the same rookie defenseman to injuries.
But instead of hanging their heads, the Bruins produced one of the gutsier performances of the season, quickly turning the tables on the Flyers in a dominating 4-1 win on Wednesday night. As a result, they now stand one win away from their first trip to the Eastern Conference finals since 1992.
These Flyers had no bite to them at all and it was because of the tenacity of the Bruins, even when they lost one of their top specialty teams players in David Krejci to a reported broken wrist and another defenseman, Adam McQuaid to an undisclosed injury.
"I think we want it," Blake Wheeler said. "I think we realize through the course of this year, we've had a real tough time scoring goals and we've kind of learned to adapt and score goals maybe not the prettiest way but the more efficient way."
More importantly, the Bruins showed early in this game the kind of scoring punch they lack for most of the season. Then, once with the lead, they completely shut down the Flyers, even strength and on the penalty kill, even without the services of penalty killer extraordinaire David Krejci.
"The majority of my goals this year have been right in front of the net, off my head, off my skate," Wheeler said. "You have to do what you have to get goals. And we kind of learned the hard way."
Wheeler was the catalyst on Wednesday, redirecting Matt Hunwick's shot from the left point past Brian Boucher. The Philly crowd had barely had time to bark about their first lead of the series when Boston promptly applied the muzzle.
"That tends to happen when the visiting team plays tight defensively and that's kind of our game," Wheeler added. "For the most part, I thought we did a really good job of letting Tuukka see the puck. If you don't give them anything to cheer about, they can't really get too loud. It was kind of the perfect road game for us. Keep the crowd out of it and keep it as boring as possible."
And Wheeler's coach couldn't agree more about the quality of the win or the character his team showed.
"I thought it was a real good road game on our part if you want to look at the statistics of shots for and against," Claude Julien said of his team being outshot 35-20 and still winning the game. "They're a desperate team, they needed this win. For us to go down to a short bench and be able to sustain that and everything else, I thought our guys responded well. If anything, I thought it was a real gutsy effort on our part.'
Report: Krejci done with broken wrist | 05.05.10 at 11:23 pm ET |
PHILADELPHIA — David Krejci was taken to a local hospital for treatment of an undisclosed injury following a hit by Philadelphia's Mike Richards in the first period. Krejci was on just his second shift of the game when he was drilled in the shoulder by Richards in the neutral zone. Just before the hit, Krejci found Milan Lucic, who then fed Miroslav Satan for the go-ahead goal at 5:45 of the first period.
"It was a clean hit and there are no issues there," Bruins coach Claude Julien said afterward.
The Bruins have not confirmed a CSNPhilly report that Krejci suffered a broken wrist and is scheduled to have corrective surgery in Baltimore.
The Bruins also played most of the game without defenseman Adam McQuaid, who was being evaluated by Bruins medical staff after the game for an undisclosed injury. Both Krejci and McQuaid played just two shifts before leaving and not returning.

Arab Spring Helps Spur Sales in Gulf Nations: Cars
(Corrects investment reference to Ford's parts distribution center in Dubai in 16th paragraph in story published Feb. 1.)
Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- In the midst of rebellion and turmoil, automakers led by Volkswagen AG and Ford Motor Co. are investing more heavily in the Middle East.
VW plans to introduce the Polo subcompact and the U.S.- built Passat sedan in the region this year. VW's Lamborghini projects growth of 50 percent.
"With the new models, we have new segments that we conquer," said Stefan Mecha, managing director of Volkswagen's operations in the Middle East. "Last year, we didn't have the Passat at all, so I would say we have huge opportunities with this car." He said VW may increase sales 40 percent this year in the region, which includes Iraq, Israel and the Gulf states.
Car sales are growing because oil prices are high and several countries are pumping money into their economies to seek social stability amid the Arab Spring uprisings. The price of crude has gained 6.7 percent over the past 12 months.
"The rest of the world is struggling, so you think, 'Why are sales in the Gulf going up?'" said Pierluigi Bellini, a Milan-based IHS Automotive analyst who oversees the Middle East market. "You have oil prices that are not going down, and governments spending more because they want to reassure people."
Abdullah Saeed, who works at a Saudi investment firm, was browsing for an Audi sedan at a Riyadh showroom this week.
"Most people, when an increase in their income happens, they spend it on buying cars," he said, adding that unrest in nearby Bahrain and Syria didn't make him think twice about making a major purchase to replace his Audi Q7 sport-utility vehicle.
Sales Forecasts
Sales of cars and light commercial vehicles in the six-nation Gulf Arab region are expected to grow 6.6 percent this year to 1.28 million vehicles, according to IHS. Deliveries in Western Europe are projected to drop 5.7 percent to 13.6 million autos, which would mark the fifth consecutive annual decline.
The unrest that erupted last year toppled leaders in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
Saudi Arabia, the No. 1 oil exporter and the Arab world's largest economy, is the automakers' biggest regional market, representing 50 percent of sales. King Abdullah pledged 66,000 jobs in teaching and health care, as part of $130 billion of extra spending.
In the United Arab Emirates, the second-biggest Arab economy and home of Dubai, the region's trade and business hub, the government plans to allocate 7 billion dirhams ($1.9 billion) of its budget for housing loans for citizens to maintain "social stability." In March, it announced a 5.7 billion-dirham package to fund water and infrastructure projects in northern emirates.
Porsche Tests
Qatar raised salaries of government employees 60 percent, while army and police received a 120 percent raise.
"A stable political situation, of course, is a substantial driver for any economy, and the same is true for the Middle East," said Bernhard Maier, head of sales at Porsche SE's car-making business, which plans to start setting up a site in Qatar this year to test new materials. "We really experienced a very strong 12-year period here in the region and are very confident looking forward to 2012."
Volkswagen, Ford and Renault SA said they plan to invest in showrooms and offer new vehicles to tap the region's mainstream buyers.
"The middle class are more and more empowered now," Hussein Murad, director of sales for Ford in the Middle East, said in a Jan. 22 interview in Dubai.
Ford, Toyota
Ford plans to open six sales outlets in Saudi Arabia this year, after investing in a $53 million parts distribution center in Dubai in 2011. Eight new models will be brought to the region this year including the Focus, Taurus and Escape.
Toyota Motor Corp. recently introduced the Yaris and Camry to the U.A.E. and plans to roll out more models and open two showrooms this year, said Simon Frith, managing director at Al-Futtaim Motors, the carmaker's distributor in the country.
Renault increased showrooms in the Gulf last year to 30 from 22 and plans to expand sales outlets by as much as 15 percent this year as it targets a 30 percent increase in deliveries, Mustansir Lakdawala, managing director for the French carmaker in the Gulf, said in a Jan. 30 interview.
VW's Lamborghini expects sales to be boosted by demand for the V12-powered Aventador, which has a two-year waiting list, said Stephan Winkelmann, the brand's chief executive officer.
"There is a change, a slow change but a steady change, an opening, which is good for us, which is good for everybody," said Winkelmann.
Syrian Clashes
The Gulf region's appetite for cars stands in stark contrast to countries in North Africa and Syria, where thousands have died in clashes with President Bashar al-Assad's government since March. In North Africa, where the Arab Spring movement began, sales fell 28 percent last year to 274,200 cars and will probably be little changed this year, according to IHS.
The situation in Syria has been more dramatic as residents worry about survival. Abdul Hafiz Attasi, 31, who drives a Land Rover in the capital of Damascus, where he owns a food distribution company, was considering buying a new car a year ago. He's now keeping an eye on shrinking supplies.
"Everything's changed," said Attasi. "No one's buying cars anymore, unless you're into money laundering."

Casting For David Gordon Green's 'Suspiria' Kicks Off With a Pair of Isabelles
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDavid Gordon Green has been talking about helming a remake of Dario Argento's warped ballet-academy-turned-witch-coven horror movie classic Suspiria for so long that it started to sound like a project that was never really going to happen. But then, a little over a month ago, a press release came out officially naming it as the director's next project. Suddenly the idea that there was actually going to be a new take on Suspiria coming our way looked a lot more likely. And now that the first round of casting on the film has been completed, cold hard reality has set in. Variety reports that the film's lead role, that of a young student from America who travels to a well-respected, European ballet academy, has gone to Isabelle Fuhrman. At only the age of 15, Fuhrman is an actress still at the very beginning of her career, but many people might already know her as the creepy little girl in Orphan, or for playing the side character of Clove in this year's smash hit The Hunger Games.

Storage Pathway Configuration Issues
EMC's Manning said that 90 percent of the support calls coming into EMC's VMware support group stem from storage not being configured properly.
Manning said that when servers are virtualized, there are three common problems related to storage configurations:
* Customers often deploy too many I/O-intensive virtual machines on a single physical host.
* Customers do not understand the underlying data path management issues and pick paths that may cause problems.
* There is still a limited awareness of storage device capabilities and limitations among customers.

"Did you know sky watchers have observed meteor showers every August 11th, since A.D. 830? It is thought to originate in the constellation Perseus. Its peak arrives punctually every year so many consider this "The Night of the Shooting Stars". A wonderful night to have a star-gazing party! Here is a super salad to start it off! Adapted from Great Good Food by Julee Rosso."
Serving Size: 1 (223 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 6
"Very good salad which we enjoyed for lunch with some bread. Made as directed, with the exception of the red wine vinegar, which I subbed with rice vinegar. Thanks for sharing!"
"So tasty and healthy not to mention easy, we thought this had a great balance of flavors and the cool bell pepper worked so well with the warmth of the spices. I made using red and yellow bell pepper, note to self can skip the parsley but do not skip the cilantro. Thanks for the post."
"Incredibly flavourful - we were starving so I just threw everything together and we ate it right away, and it was so so good! Loved the strong cumin, the combo of garlic and cilantro, the tart lemon juice and vinegar, crispy bell pepper and onion, mild chicken... just a wonderful combination of flavours. Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow: I'm sure the salad will be even better after the flavours have had time to develop. Thank you for sharing!"
"My husband didn't want this very tart, so I reduced the vinegar and lemon by half. I poured the dressing on 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors marry. I love the contrasting textures of the crisp onion and pepper with the tender meat. This is an excellent main dish for a hot summer evening. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6."
"Excellent chicken salad variation! The dressing was packed with flavor and worked wonderfully over the chicken and veggies. I poached the chicken and added the cilantro and parsley to the chicken and veggie mix before pouring over the dressing. Thanks for sharing! ZWT6"
"This is different & delicious! I made to serve warm in pita pockets and was very happy with the recipe. I liked the low oil content and no mayo. The dressing is lovely; smoky, tart, and full of flavor. The only sub I made was using white wine vinergar instead of red. Next time I won't mince the cilantro/ parsley as fine and will stir it into the salad at serving time. I made the dressing as the chicken was poaching & both herbs wilted during the wait. The briny olives are a nice complement to the flavor of the chicken. Thank you for sharing the recipe!"

Boeing bidding for $7 billion fighter jet buy
Two arms procurement officials said the bidding began Tuesday and is scheduled to end next week. Boeing's F-15 Silent Eagle, EADS' Eurofighter Typhoon and Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter are competing.
The deal would be South Korea's biggest arms purchase ever. The 60 fighter jets will replace the country's aging fleet of F-4s and F-5s.
Both officials at the Seoul-based Defense Acquisition Program Administration declined to be identified by name, citing office policy.
South Korea faces rival North Korea over a heavily armed border. The 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce that has left the Korean Peninsula technically at war.

In 1984, Mark Cuddeback began building a device that would allow him to become a better hunter. He wanted to photograph and record the date and time of deer activity as a means of scouting. After four years, Mark had developed what was one of the first scouting cameras. So many people wanted this camera that, in 1989, Mark founded Non Typical Engineering. 23 years later, that desire to become a better hunter has resulted in the Cuddeback name becoming synonymous with state-of-the-art digital scouting cameras. |

Goodbye Columbus, hello Samana Cay.
Goodbye Columbus, hello Samana CayNearly 500 years after his historic voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus's accepted point of arrival has shifted. The explorer first landed on the narrow, 9-mile-long island of Samana Cay in the Bahamas, according to a report presented at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., last week. The island is 65 miles southeast of San Salvador, known as Watling Island prior to 1926, which many history books peg as the place where Columbus first dropped anchor.
The five-year study was directed by Joseph Judge, senior associate editor of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. He commissioned a new translation of a summary of Columbus's lost log written by a 16th-century priest. The voyage was then replotted by Luis Marden, a former NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC editor and transatlantic sailor, and his wife, mathematician Ethel Marden, taking into account the the effects of current and leeway, a ship's sideways slip due to wind. Other investigators have not used these crucial factors in their calculations, says Judge. The Mardens also based their work, which included a computerized retracing of the Atlantic crossing, on the recently discovered length of the sea league used to chart nautical distance in Columbus's time. The course plotted with these data ends up at a point about 10 miles east-northeast if Samana Cay.
Further analysis bolstered the Mardens' estimate. The 16th-century abstract of Columbus's log gives the general directions and distances he traveled after the initial landing to four other islands before going on to Cuba. One location in these Bahamian travels was pinned down with certainty; a computer program ran the course backward from that point, ending up at Samana Cay.
Earlier this year, Judge and several co-workers, including archaeologists Charles Hoffman and Nancy Hoffman of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, confirmed that Samana Cay was inhabited, at least seasonally, at the time of Columbus's arrival. The group uncovered 10 archaeological sites, along with pottery and other artifacts.
At least eight other islands in the Bahamas have been proposed as the site of Columbus's initial landing. Samana Cay was first proposed in 1882 by Gustavus Fox, who had been Abraham Lincoln's assistant secretary of the Navy. Other scholars, however, dismissed his argument. In 1942, Harvard University historial Samuel Eliot Morison asserted that Columbus arrived at Watling Island, or San Salvador, a view that researchers began to challenge several years ago.
The argument over when Columbus landed has not been conclusively settled, but Judge says he is "98 percent sure" that Samana Cay is the answer. "Perhaps infallible proof will come only with discovery of the original Columbus log and chart," he adds.

Kids with cancer don't have a choice... they are forced to "risk an arm and a leg". In my opinion, that's why this endeavor makes sense and actually has meaning.
I currently own a successful insurance agency, and there have been a couple of situations I have run into that have really touched my heart. Every day, my goal in life is to build my business and I want to turn that around and give something back.
To answer some other questions, I'm going to be purchasing a small "training" boat in the next few months. I have not made up my mind on this boat yet, but they idea will be to auction this off to purchase the vessel that will make the global voyage.
I honestly feel that something this drastic will receive publicity, which in turn will enable me to raise a very generous sum for this great cause. Someone sailing around the world with virtually zero experience is a big deal...
After completing the voyage (assuming I do...), I plan to auction the boat off and donate the proceeds into the charity as well.
A poster had mentioned whether this would be solo or crewed, and I am thinking a crew of 2-3 people including myself.
