I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger has good concepts that could help out.
My all too short stay in Argentina (one year) gave me a deep appreciation of the of the Argentine people. I enjoyed living in their country, found Buenos Aires to be a wonderful city, but left convinced that the country suffers from a viral infection that affects the political and economic organs of the nation.
I suspect that the infection was incubated by the Perons.
The Kirchners are simply a re-run of that couple.
I do cry for Argentina
What a nasty game, politics!
Good evening to all people,
First I want to say to those who know little of my country, Argentina, which we are currently living a good and genuine struggle for power than ever before in the history of the country has experienced. Why do I say this? Just because anyone who has an academic background and even a secondary education, focusing on social sciences and no political passions can not deny that on the one hand we have an actor who is the government-wants to increase the power-and the other an actor concentrated economic power, wants to keep, such as newspaper, television, the group bugle.
And in this "gourmet buffet" is a citizen of Argentina, in a delightful position that can see and taste-one who has power of abstraction to the facts and the news-the good and bad of the two powers that are present not only in Argentina but also in international politics, which is the political power that can be misused in some cases, and public opinion-that can be manipulated by political and economic interests.
hello, I`m from Argentina, I can say that I love my country, we have a lot to see and ejoy, not just buenos aires, but other places like patagonia, the north or cordoba (where i`m from)
like i read one of you said, our only problem is the politics, and the mayority of the people that is ignorant and not care about the politic, just have a pice of bread on table and with out work,of course that there are inteligents and braves persons that want that argentina improve the politics and economy, but they are the minority, other things, my country is beautiful, interesting, friendly and a wonderful place to live!!!!!!!!
Cristi is giving us the possibility of getting together as a country, business people, politicians and civil society. I hope we take the opportunity.
In the fight between the K's and Clarin, the first victim, as usual, is truth. No one is innocent in this.
When the government decided to send a much awaited bill to Congress to change an oddly-patched law for audiovisual media that stemmed from the 70's dictatorship, the reaction of Clarin and its more than *250* controlled outlets (newspapers, radios, TV) was so hysterical -afraid of losing part of their huge mastering of public opinion- that made many of us, formerly 'neutral', to support the government on it.
Suggested reading--Michael Reid's (senior editor of the Economist's Americas section) Latin America: Forgotten Continent. Excellent survey.
Jordan, like someone said down there... dont pay so much attention to politics ...
Another thing Id like to tell you is that Buenos Aires is NOT all the country has to offer.
I am from the north ...and I tell you... it is another country!!...!!!!...we are always pissed off that most of the things are chosen in Buenos Aires...
hugs !

All the comments praising the Argentines and the quality of life in the country are accurate. It is indeed a wonderful country. Attempts to reconcile the lifestyle enjoyed by most Argentines with the crude machinations of its governments (not just the Kirchners) are rife with contradictions. There is the ever increasing teeming mass that is Buenos Aires with its rapidly increasing population occupying in the main the lawless villas (shanty towns). This is populism at its best, or worst, depending on how you view it.
The Argentine politico´s handbook has one page with just one phrase - Pan y Circo. Bread and Circus. Basically, provide the masses with the basics and some entertainment, and you can do whatever you want. This is of course a very short term approach. There is no such thing as long term planning.
Effectively the Kirchner and Duhalde governments have decimated the once enormous Argentine middle class. Politically this has been possible because of a relatively young popultion with a positive birth rate. To say it has been income distribution would not be correct. What has occurred has been an overall lowering of the bar with the welfare of the lower echelons of society being slightly raised while that of the middle classes dramatically dropped.
As before in Argentina, the politics has become part of the circus with the lower income groups participating in rallies, protests and political activities, for which of course, they are paid.
This strategy is facilitated by one of the most confusing characteristics of the Argentines - their total and utter servility and passivity in the face of oppression and despotism. For many years I riled against the Argentine polticians. But truth be known, the responsibility (or blame) lies with the Argentine people. They do nothing about it. There are a few things that are sacred to the Argentine. Family, food, football, playa (beach) and fornicating (the Kirchner attemtp to close down the brothels lasted a week). Once a politican protects these things, they can pretty much do what they want. The Argentines protect the basics of their lifestyle and because of that it is such an amazing place to visit.
However, short termism comes with a price. There is a very serious housing problem. Public health is now back at prehistoric levels. The educational system has been destroyed. Crime is endemic. Buenos Aires is now a dangerous place. Chile attracts more foreign investment than Argentina.
Today, I no longer point a finger at the Kirchners. The Argentine people are to blame for allowing this to happen.
So, to the English teacher pondering a sojourn in Argentina. Do it now, while you still can.
Let's see. Yes, there´s a fight between Clarin and the Government. Yes, this fight started during the farmer's strike. And (maybe) yes, our President make a mistake when she decided to face to the media (that´s not a good idea, even in Argentina). But I think she would lie if she didn't say anything she knew to the people. So, I think she's right.
Do not worry about politics in Argentina. Go and have fun. You'll love the country, the people, the food, the people, the people ...They are amazing and wiser than The Economist pretends to know. Do not buy everything you read about Argentina or any other society. If you can, go and experience it. If you can, learn from more than one source of information. I could not wait to log in to see how this publication was going to - once again - indulge in its Argentina-hating addiction...and here they are. When news is biased and predictable, it's no news.
seems that media conglomerates are note happy with lady K. and it is about time to confront genuine democratic values to shady capitalist ideological supertitions and actual interests desguised under the free press label. Citizens, polticians, democratic authorities, lawmakers and judges are hostages of megamedia conglomerates and this is not what any democrat should admit. I don't feel any sympathy for the K oportunistic and superficial style but this is not a reason to see media conglomerates as feddomspeech fighters c'mon guys it is all about you and your power to manipulate news and public opinion.
The only thing one needs to understand about the kirchner regime is that they are not here to make justice, they're not here to fix anything.
What they're doing is simply taking over the business, the monopolies. This government has no intention of creating a more friendly enviroment for small companies.
Far from it, what they want is to stage a hostile takeover of any profitable assets in the country.
Is beyond irony that the kirchners use that old rusty word 'oligarch' so much, considering the closest parallel you'll find to the ruling couple are those creppy russian oligarchs. Like the kirchners too they like to destroy companies and buy them at half-price.
Their 70-ish discourse is immediately invalidated by the fact that neither of the kirchners did anything to help endangered civilians during the last dictatorship. What they did do was forge deals with the military governor of the santa cruz province so he would grant them access to profitable business and schemes, most of them related to real state once belonging to the very victims of the dictatorship they talk so much about these days.
Jordan, you must remember that argentinians are italian descendants and that means they are adorable but crooks and mafia style in business. They have teared apart a wonderful country fighting each other on ideological issues that hide money issues.The couple in the government says they are leftist, well, youll never see nothing more capitalist than these two crooks, they have no shame at all.Every now and then you have a blood bath in the country , try to fly away when you smell it and I believe its coming again !
But if you don´t take in consideration this little details, you will enjoy very much the country.Ah! When you feel you are going crazy, just cross over to their neighbours country Uruguay, there you will relax and enjoy good living with no stress.
Dam I forgot She loocks like a Vampire!!!! UFff terifying..
Oh! lol its simple, its just a lousy imitation of the french style governance! "because I am a Lousy lider and bad for the people (but not my close rich friends, i will control the information.. .so that little can be knowed"
@Jordan - The real answer is relax. I've lived in Argentina once and visited it many, many times. Argentina has the potential to not just be a good - but a great - country, but there is a lot of political drama. If you visit Argentina (not just Buenos Aires) you will enjoy your time a lot. As another commenter wisely noted, just unplug yourself from what you think you know and experience the country on your own terms. Buenos Aires itself is chaotic but can also be very very fun.
This case has some parallels to a similar case in Turkey. There too, the country's most influential news conglomerate, the Doğan Media group, is having trouble with the ruling AK Party.
It's not quite as dirty as a fight as Argentina's but both cases have a long time, quasi democratic ruling party engaging actively with the media.

Is there anyone who can help me out with a question about my house? Maybe with photoshop or something? My house is very plain on the front and I want to do something to pretty it up, add some curb appeal. I was thinking of adding a portico, but the existing slab and steps is pretty small, and there is a bay window on the front of the house. I am not sure if it would look right. I hope so, cuz it needs something!! I just bought the house and have done nothing with the landscaping either, so I know that will help.
Anyone out there who can help me see what a portico would look ike if I post a pic of my house? |

WAYNE, N.J. and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONXX) today announced results from a Phase 2b trial evaluating Nexavar® (sorafenib) tablets in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with a bevacizumab-containing regimen, which showed that Nexavar was associated with statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival (the primary endpoint of the study) and time-to-progression. The study evaluated Nexavar in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent, either gemcitabine or capecitabine. The data will be presented on June 6, 2011, at 11:45 a.m. during the oral abstract session at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, IL.
Clifford Hudis, M.D., Chief of the Breast Cancer Medicine Service and attending physician at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, as well as Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, reported that patients receiving Nexavar in addition to standard chemotherapy agents obtained a progression-free survival benefit with median of 3.4 months to progression versus 2.7 (HR=0.65, one-sided p-value=0.01). Time-to-progression was similarly improved from a median of 3.6 months from 2.7 (HR=0.64; one-sided p-value=0.009) in this pre-treated population.
"These results demonstrate the importance of continuing to evaluate antiangiogenic compounds in breast cancer, and their study should remain a high priority for the research community," said Dr. Hudis.
"These data are similar to those observed in our previous Phase 2 trial evaluating Nexavar in combination with capecitabine," said Ted W. Love, M.D., Executive Vice President and Head of Research and Development and Technical Operations for Onyx Pharmaceuticals. "Onyx and Baye

I watched this match. Zsofi was in control of this match from start to finish. I think the only time she slightly lost control was early in the second set when she was trying to break Embree for the second time. It really came down to Embree not having anything to hurt Zsofi and Embree's inability to keep the ball deep. Zsofi has a good ability to reset the point/ if she's in a compromising court position she is able to re-gain control. There were long rallies but all of them were won by Zsofi. Superior court positioning, deep balls, and being aggressive when she needed was the tale of the tape. She never let Embree into this match.

First, determine the M of the HCl. That will be 25*0.2/20 = 0.25M
Where is the equivalence point. That is at 25.0 mL, NaOH, of course.
The questions divide the titration curve up nicely into
a. at the beginning.
b. before the eq point.
c. at eq pt
d. just after eq pt
It's a matter of keeping account of the mols.
For a.
M HCl = 0.2M so pH = -log(HCl)
millimols HCl initially = 5
millimols NaOH added = 4.98
millimols HCl remaining = 5-4.98 = 0.02
M HCl remaining = mmols/mL = 0.02/44.9
pH = -log(HCl)
c. At the eq you have NaCl and H2O. Neither Na^+ nor Cl^- are hydrolyzed; therefore, the pH is 7.0
d. mmols HCl initially = 5.0
mmols NaOH at 25.1 ix 25.1 x 0.2 = 5.02
mmols excess NaOH = 0.02
pH = mmols NaOH/mL solution = 0.02/45.1
I don't understand e.
Look in your text/notes for pH range of indicators.

Bike designers are constantly striving for sleekness in their creations and the Edge Bicycle certainly exudes this quality. Embodying a fineness and a minimalist look, this two-wheeled conveyance appears quite lightweight and sharp enough to slice through oncoming wind.
To make the stiff and geometric shape of the frame, Allan Sejer Madsen, Song Kejie and Lin Yunyuan envisioned its manufacturing with a single piece of steel, bending it into straight creases for a multifaceted form. Rods and tubes were welded to it to connect and stabilize the wheels, the seat and the handlebars of the Edge Bicycle. The concept was developed for the Shanghai World EXPO with Tongji University and the Forever Bicycle Factory.

The European Commission will adopt a proposal tomorrow to suspend infrastructure-development subsidies to Hungary after the country failed to curb its deficit in a sustainable way, a European official said.
The commission, the European Union's Brussels-based regulator, will propose halting the so-called cohesion funding to Hungary for one year starting on Jan. 1, 2013, the official said on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private. The decision is linked to the nation's fiscal policy and not to recent EU infringement proceedings against the government in three areas including central-bank independence, the official said.
The move, which affects funds used to finance investment and development projects, raises pressure on Hungarian Premier Viktor Orban, who is trying to revive talks with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund on a loan. Hungary stands to lose as much as 1.7 billion euros ($2.3 billion) in 2013, or about 1.5 percent of gross domestic product, said Peter Attard Montalto, an economist at Nomural Holdings Plc in London.
"This will pose a significant drain on the budget as well as providing a hole in the balance of payments," Montalto said today in an e-mail. "It may also slow the pace of investment in infrastructure by government."
The forint erased gains today and was barely changed at 287.69 per euro at 3:28 p.m. in Budapest. The currency has risen 9.5 percent against the euro this year, making it the best- performing in the world after losing 16 percent in the second half of last year, the most in the world.
Economic Growth
EU finance ministers are due to discuss the proposal in March. Losing cohesion funding may threaten investments aimed at fostering economic growth. Hungary's forecast for gross domestic product this year ranges between stagnation and 0.5 percent growth, Mihaly Varga, Orban's chief of staff, said on Feb. 19.
The government has argued that its planned multi-year spending cuts will yield the necessary savings to wean the budget off its reliance on one-off revenue for meeting deficit goals.
Since coming to power in 2010, Orban has effectively nationalized $14 billion of private pension funds and levied extraordinary taxes on energy, financial, retail and telecommunication companies to plug budget holes from tax cuts that failed to boost economic growth.
Special Taxes
The Cabinet plans to end special taxes on the energy, retail and telecommunications industries and halve the bank levy starting next year. The government targets savings of 550 billion forint ($2.5 billion) this year and 900 billion forint in 2013 from budget-consolidation steps, including welfare cuts, Economy Ministry State Secretary Zoltan Csefalvay said Feb. 14.
Hungary's budget sustainability underwent a "severe deterioration" last year, which was masked by one-time measures, the European Commission said on Jan. 11. Hungary has failed to take "effective action" to rein in the deficit in a "sustainable nature," it said.
The shortfall without one-time measures reached 252 percent of the government's initial target for 2011, the Economy Ministry said on Jan. 9. For 2012, Hungary may reduce the budget deficit below 3 percent of GDP "on the back of a close to 0.9 percent of GDP one-off revenue" from extraordinary industry levies, the commission said. For 2013, the commission forecast a shortfall of 3.25 percent of GDP in Hungary.
Hungary can't start talks on an international loan with the IMF and the EU until the government meets preconditions, including addressing concerns on monetary policy, the judiciary and the data-protection agency. The EU has no deadline or timeline to assess Hungary's Feb. 17 response on the infringement procedures, a commission spokesman told reporters today in Brussels.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva declared a state of emergency in Bangkok on Wednesday, handing the army broad powers to restore order after anti-government protesters broke into Parliament, forcing some lawmakers to flee by helicopter.
Other lawmakers scaled the compound's walls to escape the most chaotic protest in several weeks of demonstrations by a group demanding Mr. Abhisit dissolve the government and call immediate elections. He has offered to do so by the end of the year.
"The government has tried its best to implement the law, but violations have increased. Today, Parliament was raided," Mr. Abhisit said in a televised statement that interrupted regular programming.
"The Cabinet has decided to declare state of emergency in Bangkok and nearby provinces," Mr. Abhisit said, seated at the centre of a long table with the members of his Cabinet beside him. "Our goal is to restore normalcy."
The government already had placed Bangkok under the strict Internal Security Act.
But a state of emergency includes more sweeping powers. It gives the military authority to restore order and allows authorities to suspend certain civil liberties and ban all public gatherings of more than five people.
The so-called Red Shirt protesters have been camped in Bangkok since March 12 and have ignored all other decrees for them to stop their demonstrations.
Mr. Abhisit has become the target of harsh criticism for failing to take strong measures to end the protests. He has tried negotiations, and has had security forces pull back from possible confrontations.
In a statement broadcast on all television stations on Tuesday, he explained that "the current fragile situation demands careful manoeuvring."
"We need to plan and implement everything to the last detail and with thorough care. The last thing we want is for the situation to spiral out of control."

and You are trying to show Me some concern
I didn't want You to shake My hand
I'm sure that You would understand
with Your big hand You might hurt My wrist
and I've had this damn annoying cyst
if that happened I would get real pissed
now that huge hand is upon My arm
to show sympathy, support and charm
but what if that hand comes to rest
on My shapely perky left breast?
the sensation Bovo could be creatin'
could be better than anything brought on by Lleyton
sleeping with old Lleyton 's not that bad
but a couple of things make Me a bit sad
even in a hot session in bed
He still wears His cap backwards on His head
and when We are in the middle of getting it on
He stops, screws His face up and yells C'mon!
so sleeping with big Bovina could be quite a stunt
till She lets go with Her bloodcurdling grunt!
I'd get such a fright I'd fall out of bed
and twist My other wrist instead!
Oct 4th, 2004, 10:00 AM
Bovina: Let's see...Allow me to heal your injury with my magical hand. Haaaaaah!
Kim: thinking "What the hell is this bitch trying to do to me? It's my right wrist that is injured not the left one for God's sake.."
Oct 4th, 2004, 10:48 AM
LMAO. :haha:
Oct 4th, 2004, 11:04 AM
She looks like: 'WOW! Not that close, you HUGE predatory lesbian' :lol:
:haha::haha:kim really looked scared of lena...guess she didn't realized how tall lena was until they got to the net ;) ;) ;)
Oct 4th, 2004, 02:11 PM
Bovina: Sorry about your wrist but I must add I still would have won either way.
Kim: No fuckin way!
Oct 4th, 2004, 04:38 PM
Elena : what hell Sharapova doing in Asia?
Kim: playing Williams sisters for asian #1

The following is a released update from the City of Santa Clarita regarding the progress of the ongoing roadwork at the I-5/Magic Mountain area.
The construction of the box culvert is complete. The box culvert is approximately 2,800 linear feet in length by 10 feet in width and is 8 feet deep. This is one of the major accomplishments within the Phase 2 improvements. The box had to be complete prior to beginning realignment work on The Old Road, which will start mid-November.
The Gas Company is continuing work on the north side of Magic Mountain Parkway east of Interstate 5 relocating their lines. ExxonMobil has completed Phase 1 of their two-phase pipeline relocation. This work is necessary due to the adjustment of the roadway profile. Anticipated completion of the relocation work is November 2007. The Gas Company is performing their work during nighttime hours. At least one lane of traffic in each direction will be open. Intermittent ramp closures are anticipated during nighttime hours.
Closure to the northbound I-5 off-ramp will begin late November to allow for utility improvements along Magic Mountain Parkway. The closure may last up to five weeks. The exact date of the ramp closure will be posted for commuters as soon as available. The traffic will be detoured onto Wayne Mills then Tourney Road and back to Magic Mountain Parkway. A temporary traffic signal is being installed at Wayne Mills and Tourney Road.
One of the Phase 2 improvements requires a pile driving operation for the construction of new retaining walls along the northbound I-5 off-ramp at Magic Mountain Parkway and eastbound towards Tourney Road. These operations will generate noise due to the heavy equipment required to complete the work and will take approximately three months.
Please check the City of Santa Clarita's website at www.santa-clarita.com or the project hotline (661) 290-2297, for any extended major lane closures, detours, or news associated with this project.

French Tart's Note:
A family favourite in our household.....a creamy and easy soup which needs nothing more than good crusty rolls or home-baked bread to serve with it. This travels well in a Thermos flask making it an ideal and comforting soup to take on a picnic. This recipe is based on a Historical 16th/17th Century recipe, no milk was added then - it was made with stock only.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 kg potato, scrubbed and cubed
- 1/2 liter good vegetable stock (adjust to give preferred consistency) or 1/2 liter chicken stock (adjust to give preferred consistency)
- 1/2 liter milk
- 5 tablespoons chopped lovage (retain small amount for garnish)
- salt & pepper
- 1In a large saucepan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent; then add the cubed potatoes and mix together.
- 2Add the stock and milk, simmering until the potatoes are nearly tender.
- 3When potatoes are soft,add the lovage and liquidise the soup, adding further stock or milk if a thinner consistency is required.
- 4Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- 5Return to the saucepan and heat through gently - do NOT allow the soup to boil.
- 6Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lovage and crusty bread and butter or bread rolls.
- 7This travels very well in a thermos flask for a warming picnic soup.

I mean they look nice together but I wonder whether they decided to play together on their own or were they "forced" to play mixed together by the French Tennis Federation? I don`t know whether and how much a National Federation is involved in these decisions when it comes to their own tournaments... :confused: Anyone?

NHL Three Stars: Paquette tricks Red Wings; Lander leads Oilers
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 4 hrs agoSergeant Slaughter & Mike Rathje are in the Shark Tank tonight. @SanJoseSharks pic.twitter.com/vqkNgIzej6
No. 1 Star: Cedric Paquette, Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning rookie recorded his first career NHL hat trick during a 5-1 rout of the Detroit Red Wings. The win set a franchise record with their ninth straight win at Amalie Arena.
No. 2 Star: Anton Lander, Edmonton Oilers
Lander had a hand in all three Oiler goals in their 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres in the "McDavid Bowl." After recording a pair of helpers, Landers put home the eventual game-winner 7:52 into the third period:
No. 3 Star: Devan Dubnyk, Minnesota Wild
Behind Zach Parise's 20th of the year and 30 saves from Dubnyk, the Wild shutout the Calgary Flames 1-0. It was the 11th shutout of Dubnyk's career and his third straight win.
Birthday boy Kevin Shattenkirk scored the winning goal in the shootout as the St. Louis Blues edged the Nashville Predators 5-4:
Lightning help Air Force airman with surprise family reunion (Video)
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 7 hrs agoKatelyn and C.J. Mckeen were under the impression they were about to participate in an intermission game at Thursday's Tampa Bay Lightning game. The brother and sister were slated to take a shot on goal of some sort, but little did they know they were in store for a huge surprise.
Just before they were to attempt their shots, the Lightning game-night emcee Greg Wolf introduced their father, Master Sergeant Chris Mckeen of the U.S. Air Force:
"I'm just extremely grateful that I get to come back to my family safe and get to see them," said Mckeen, who was on tour in South Korea.
These military reunions are always the best, and the family reactions really make you want to grab the tissues.
Welcome back home, Master Sergeant Mckeen.

Jonathan Bernier allows shorthanded goal from 120-feet away (Video)
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 7 hrs agoThe Toronto Maple Leafs held a 1-0 lead on the Arizona Coyotes and were on a power play as the third period began. Things were looking good.
Five seconds later, Jonathan Bernier channeled Vesa Toskala and oh, no:
Oliver Ekman-Larsson will never get a luckier goal in his career, especially shorthanded. He also entered the NHL record books in the process. The goal was the fastest shorthanded tally to start a period ever at five seconds.
That's a rough one for Bernier. That puck dipped just as he thought he was about to catch it. And now he joins Vesa Toskala with his own Maple Leaf memory to forget.
The goal was the start of a bad third period for the Leafs. Martin Hanzal would score three minutes later and the Coyotes would add on an empty-netter for a 3-1 victory.

Martin Brodeur named Blues' Senior Advisor to GM, retires with 'big smile'
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 16 hrs agoMartin Brodeur stood in front of a St. Louis Blues backdrop and announced his retirement on Thursday. It wasn't the scene we had pictured it would be while watching his 22-year NHL career; but after splitting with the New Jersey Devils last season, he didn't want to say goodbye just yet.
Brodeur felt he could still play, and after a long wait spent the final seven games of his career with the Blues. When Brian Elliott got healthy, the 42-year old netminder was relegated to third on the depth chart. That's when the thought of the end began to creep into his mind.
"I know I can play," Brodeur said. "I know I still can have fun with this game. For me, just the fact that they got healthy was harder for me to stay around. I'm a competitive guy. It was hard to stay on the sideline. That's why I decided to take my retirement."
The Blues had hoped that Brodeur would stick around and lend his veteran expertise, but it didn't feel right. "I felt in a way a little bit," he said.
"For anybody that thinks that me and Lou are not on the same page," Brodeur said, "everybody's wrong."

Capitals worrying about who's ahead of, not behind them in Eastern Conference race
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 2 days agoCOLUMBUS, Ohio — At this time last season the Washington Capitals were on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, a photo they wouldn't get a chance to be in come mid-April. After a summer of change, they sit in a pretty comfortable position as the second half begins.
The Capitals didn't head out on their All-Star Weekend vacations on a good note. They lost three in a row, allowing 13 goals in that stretch after winning six of seven. Two of those losses came at the hands of the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers, two teams not in playoff position in the West. The other defeat came against head coach Barry Trotz's old team, the Nashville Predators. The homecoming ended with a sour taste after Matt Niskanen's turnover allowed James Neal to pot the winning goal with 1:40 left in the game.
But the the six-day break did allow for them to rest up, decompress and take their minds off those losses. Washington re-grouped Monday in Columbus ahead of their game against the Blue Jackets, a team desperate for points.
"We have to win our hockey games. Lately, we haven't done that."

Blue Jackets facing tough hill to climb in second half playoff push
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 2 days agoCOLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets face a daunting task in their final 37 games. They sit 14 points out of a playoff spot. They have six players currently on injured reserved. Included on that list is goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who will miss 4-6 weeks after injuring his groin last week.
Last season, the Blue Jackets had a reported 169 man-games lost to injury. This year they're already at 170, as of last week, third-most in the NHL.
Since before the regular season even began, starting with Nathan Horton, the hits have just kept coming for Columbus. Seemingly every week there's a player getting dinged and needing to miss time. No team will ever use injuries as an excuse, but what's happened to the Blue Jackets this year has definitely stalled the momentum built up from last season's playoff appearance.
Life Without Bob and The Big Climb begins Tuesday against the Washington Capitals with Curtis McElhinney in net. Richards and Blue Jackets players expressed confidence in the 31-year old netminder, noting his play last season when Bobrovsky was injured.

Blue Jackets, Islanders lose Sergei Bobrovsky, Kyle Okposo to injury
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 3 days agoSergei Bobrovsky was forced to pull out of the NHL All-Star Game last week after he suffered a groin injury during a loss to the Winnipeg Jets. And now that the weekend is over and players are returning to their teams, we've learned that this season for the Columbus Blue Jackets is definitely cursed.
The team announced on Monday that Bobrovsky will miss the next 4-6 weeksbecause of the injury. Goaltender Anton Forsberg has been recalled from Springfield.
The Blue Jackets weren't the only team hit by injury. New York Islanders head coach Jack Capuano dropped a bombshell after practice on Monday when he announced forward Kyle Okposo would miss the next 6-8 weeks with an upper body injury.
Tavares, Voracek enjoy record-tying All-Star nights despite missing out on MVP
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 4 days agoCOLUMBUS, Ohio — We need a recount! Just as Latvians and Chicago Blackhawks fans voted in droves for the NHL All-Star Game starting six, Columbus Blue Jackets fans inside Nationwide Arena on Sunday did the same for Ryan Johansen.
Even though Johansen and Team Foligno lost 17-12 to Team Toews, the Blue Jackets forward (four points) won Most Valuable Player honors after an in-arena Twitter vote. He's the first losing player to take home the car since Daniel Briere and his five-point night in 2007. He's also the first player since Alex Kovalev in 2009 to win the award in front of the home fans.
But if there are two fanbases who might have some beef with the results it's those of the New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers. John Tavares joined Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Gartner and Dany Heatley as the only players with four goals in an All-Star Game. Voracek, meanwhile, tied Lemieux's All-Star record of most points with six with a hat trick and three assists.
"You certainly won't forget a game like that."
Mark Giordano's journey from Russia to Norris Trophy contender
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy 4 days agoCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Mark Giordano understood the risk he was taking. At 23 and still finding his way through professional hockey, the Calgary Flames defenseman wanted a one-way contract, but the team preferred to keep the restricted free agent in the fold on a two-way deal. So off to Moscow he went with an $800,000 (US) contract and more ice time to come.
Spurning the Flames' offer, Giordano signed with Dynamo Moscow of the Russian Super League. He played 50 games that season, scoring four times and recording 12 points while helping the team reach the quarterfinals.
"I think he made a big mistake," said then-Flames general manager Darryl Sutter. "A player that's finishing (a three-year) entry-level contract with limited experience in the National Hockey League is certainly not going to enhance his career by going overseas. If you haven't played 100 games or made a significant impact on an NHL team in Year 3, you're not full-fledged. You've got to make the team again."

Whether you are looking for a winter ski vacation or a mountain summer vacation, your search is over.
Skiing at Big Sky is no less than awesome. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a 'blast the A-Z chutes' double black diamond expert, there are hundreds and hundreds of the ~5,500 acres of skiable terrain for every level. In fact, it is challenging (not possible???) for even the the most accomplished skier to ski the entire mountain in 5 days of the 9 am-4 pm skiing. You can even elect to ski two mountains on one ticket as the adjacent resort, Moonlight Basin, has joined with Big Sky to offer a combined ticket providing you with the 'Biggest Skiing in America' lift ticket. With the combined ticket, you can access 5,532 skiable acres and endless ways to navigate 4,350 feet of vertical drop -- the largest skiable terrain in the US.
The condo is LITERALLY ski in, ski out. No need to eat lunch on the mountain. You ski to the back door, pop off your skis and go in for lunch. Seventy paces to the cat walk, clip on your skis and ski down to the Ram Charger or Swift Current lift and off you go.
At the end of the day, ski to the back door, pop off your skis, place them in the locked ski closet on the back porch, take off your boots, and place them on one of the 8 wall mounted boot dryers and then enter the condo to rest your tired legs!!!
The Big Sky Ski School offers superb lessons (speaking from practical experience), and they have day care facilities as well.
For the non-skier there is snow shoeing, sledding, Zip Line (through the trees or over the Mountain Base area), full spa facilities, fishing, and the list goes on and on.
Also -- for those who have problems with altitude sickness, you sleep at ~7500 ft, which MARKEDLY minimizes-eliminates the symptoms.
Summer time has limitless opportunities for outside activities: hiking, downhill-cross country biking (best yet -- the bikes and you ASCEND on the ski lift !!!!), the ropes course, through the trees zipline or try the zipline over the base of the Mountain Village area, horseback riding, rafting, fly fishing and the list goes on and on. Most summer visitors spend at least 1-2 days visiting Yellowstone by day trip (we are an hour north of the West Entrance).
Our home has 4 bedrooms that easily accommodates two families.
It is on three levels with a bath on each level (two baths on the lower level).
The lower level has three bedrooms: Queen, Queen and Twin, and a bunk room with a full size lower mattress and an upper twin mattress.
The second level is the living room, dining area, kitchen, 1/2+ bath and the laundry. The kitchen has every utensil and pot and pan you will need.
The third level is the master suite - queen plus 1/2+ bath.
For convenience, shop at Albertson's in Belgrade on the way up the mountain. You can fax them your grocery list, and it will be packed and ready when you arrive at the store.
Even if you are not a meat eater, be sure to try Montana Bison and anything with Huckleberries in it. Great restaurants are within walking distance. Our favorite is The Cabin -- literally 40 steps from the front door.
Big Sky hosts many conferences each year. If you want to combine business and pleasure as well as bring the family, we are walking distance (~125 -150 yards) to the conference center.
Keywords: ski treasure, ski home, ski-in, mountain side, slope side, walking distance to restaurants, ski rental and mountain base, no need to rent a car, fully stocked,
We came to Big Sky solely because the kids skied free -- we walked out with a mortgage!!!!
mark purchased this chalet in 2006
We went to various ski resorts over the years -- wherever we could get the kids to ski free. In 2006, it was Big Sky's turn as kids 10 and under skied free -- we went home with a house!
The terrain, the vistas, the snow, the ambiance, the beauty, and the phenomenal skiing, were THE sales pitch. No matter were one is, which side of the mountain one in on, which trail one is skiing, or in which direction one is facing, the views are simply fantastic!!!
Big Sky is NOT much harder to get to than the Colorado and Utah resorts - there are direct flights from 14 cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Newark, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle.
From the time we board our plane in Atlanta, until we walk in the door (including the stop at the Albertsons in Belgrade [remember to fax in your order]) -- 7 hours door to door
What a gem.
The snow is as good as anywhere, there are no lift lines (8 years and counting, the longest we have had to wait is 4-5 minutes (Spring Break), and usually, we ski onto the chair), the terrain is extremely variable, challenging and gorgeous. With over 250 runs (yes, 250 !!!!) -- there is no such thing as being bored of a run -- green, blue, black or double black
The airport is an hour or so away, and in the winter you do not need a car. Limo shuttle services are extremely convenient and are similar to winter auto rental rates.
With several restaurants in walking distance (50 paces to less than 150 yards), and several that are outside of walking distance providing shuttle services, a winter auto rental is not needed.
There is a local Big Sky bus service as well -- it takes you into the 'Meadow Village' area, where several other restaurants, lunch diners, stores and even a movie theater and ice skating rink are located.
You are able to skip the I-70, gripping the steering wheel drive and delays through the Eisenhower Tunnel, and instead, have a peaceful, gorgeous, RELIABLE and easy 60-75 minute drive along the Gallatin River (huge smile).
1) We are located one hour north of the West Entrance of Yellowstone -- we are a great spot to launch day trips to see moose, bison and Old Faithful, 2) Don't miss the Saturday night avalanche rescue dog demonstration - it is a must see, 3) Big Sky offers various complimentary G, PG and PG-13 evening movies several times per week, 4) Big Sky Resort has two 'Zip Line' courses, 5) Big Sky Resort has a 'Ropes Course', 6) Big Sky Resort offers various Base Camp activities, 7) Even if you are not a black diamond skier, take the Lone Peak Tram to the top - on a clear day you can see the Grand Tetons,

Steel camels: Harleys rumble across Saudi sands
America's ultimate icon of letting loose has gone from Milwaukee to the land of Mecca and Medina, where members of the Middle East Harley Owners Group (HOG) held their ninth annual rally this weekend.
Caryle Murphy
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
A half-moon directly overhead glows in the gathering daylight as Adel Mallawi straps on his helmet.
His tall legs, sheathed in leather chaps that match his black leather jacket, drape over one of the loves of his life: Harley-Davidson's 105th anniversary Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Copper and black. Same colors as his helmet.
Birds chirp and a solitary trash truck gorges on rubbish in the empty downtown street as Mallawi and 12 other bikers, most of them Saudi, rev their engines. "Yallah!" someone yells. "Let's go!"
The sun rises as the bikers ease onto the highway for a 750-mile ride through the Saudi desert to the United Arab Emirates to join hundreds of other bikers at the ninth annual rally of the Middle East Harley Owners Group (HOG). As they thunder toward the horizon, the crisp dawn air promises a perfect day on the open road, which Mallawi, a banker, finds exhilarating.
"It's the sense of freedom you get on the bike," the 30-something Saudi says. "It's just you and the air. It's a great feeling."
America's ultimate icon of letting loose, the Harley-Davidson, has gone from Milwaukee to the land of Mecca and Medina. Dire warnings from religious conservatives about the sinful pitfalls of imitating a Western lifestyle are no match, it seems, for the allure of soft leather, gleaming chrome, and the purr of a perfectly pitched motor.

Reactive Oxygen Species as Markers of Seed Quality
The principal objective of this project is to enhance the current understanding of the metabolism of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and redox homeostasis in dry and in dormant seeds. As outlined in the project 'Oxidative stress and seed death phenomena,' ROS can be harmful, and are involved in the induction of seed ageing and cell death. However, ROS can also be beneficial to seeds. For example, they can be involved in the alleviation of seed dormancy, which is the inability to germinate under optimal conditions. In particular the formation and metabolism of ROS in the so-called orthodox (desiccation tolerant) seeds that can tolerate extreme dehydration during storage, is poorly understood. A major project aim is to enhance our understanding of the role of ROS in seeds, and to apply the new fundamental knowledge obtained to improve the methods of ex situ conservation of seeds in seed banks. This project is part of the 'Stress and Survival' research theme.
Together with our French collaborators we found that ROS play critical roles in the alleviation of seed dormancy and they are key element of cellular signaling pathways during germination in sunflower seeds. The crosstalk between ROS and hormonal signaling pathways also regulates seed dormancy in barley.
Moreover, in germinating pea seeds, imbibition is accompanied by an immediate burst of redox activity, and later on, radicle emergence corresponds to a more gradual increase in extracellular production of superoxide, both of which could be related to pathogen defence. In the pea system, we could provide clear evidence that superoxide production is an important component of seed germination, seedling growth and development. In addition, ROS appear to participate in the signaling required for secondary root formation in pea seedlings.
The outputs of the project are being published in peer-reviewed journals. Two PhD students and several work experience students have been trained in the framework of this project and have contributed to the publication output. The project was also supported by a tri-national collaboration between the UK, France and Germany, which involved staff (7) and student (9) exchange between Kew, the University of Paris 6 and the University of Freiburg.

I am new to AZ, originally from the northwest. I'm unfamiliar with care of cactus, citrus etc. that we have now in the yard. I could use some advice. This century plant has dying leaves along the bottom and lots of suckers around it, I tried to pull one little sucker out but it seemed to have a very long root. When we moved in some of the tips of the big leaves looked shriveled, like it was frost damaged. Now they are turning yellow. I'm unsure what to do and also about the suckers, do I let those grow to replace the dying leaves or are they stressing the plant too much? I had to cut off one leaf when we moved in because it was blocking the sprinkler head. I am watering this about every three days, just enough to wet it. Is that too much? It wasn't being watered at all I noticed so after the yellowing I watered it, it seems not to have made a difference one way or another. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/nml00/century1.jpg
Also, this yucca tree had two 10 foot flowering stalks on it by the time it stopped growing. I cut the stalks off as best I could after the blooms fell, but there's still a five inch or so stub left that I can't get to very well without damaging the plant or myself. Will it still bloom next year even though there's that little bit of stump left? Everyone likes the Yucca and passersby have taken photos of it in bloom. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/nml00/Yucca.jpg One more question, when is it okay to prune a citrus? I have looked it up online but have conflicting advice. Mine are growing in the neighbors fence and yard and it's hard to get under them. Some branches need cutting back. Thank you, sb |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some basic answers that others can expound upon; the century is in it's final stage of maturity and likely has bloomed and now is providing pups before it dies. The name implies that it blooms once in a century but in reality about avery 20-50 years depending on water, soil condition the yucca probably will bloom again but may be anywhere from 1-? years citrus , prune best in months with an "R" in the name. Small bits of pruning at other times can be done but save the bigger stuff for the least stressful times of the year. ron |

I support everything solar gh stated. Save your water for something else like your trees. The pup roots can be cut off (the deeper the better) and transplanted. You needn't water them. Remember when locating the transplants, the plant will grow to a diameter of 10-12 feet. There are better choices than century plant. Google Pima County Coop. They have a lot great info. |

Your century plant may not have bloomed. It could be the yellowing is caused by a pack rat tearing up the stems near the crown. From experience :) As for the pups, they do that. I have several, both the blue and the varigated, and none have ever bloomed yet they have put out a lot of pups over the past 15+ years. The pups can be cut out (more root=more chance to propagate) just be sure to harden them off for a week or so before potting them or putting them into damp soil. This just means, cut the root, put the pup in the shade and let it dry out so the cut end heals over with a scab more or less. That will help prevent infection in the cut which can come from planting a non-scabbed cut into damp soil. All succulents and cacti require hardening off. On the yucca, no advice, no experience. My guess is that leaving the 5" stalk would not stop future blooms... On the citrus, don't prune it up from the bottom. The sweetest fruit is on the lowest branches. My mom had both grapefruit and navels and the branches went to the ground. and discovered the best fruit always came from the lowest branches. In addition, the citrus grows bushy like that for good reason: to protect it's trunk and itself from the heat and sun. It casts shade on the trunk and also shades the entire surrounding ground bringing the temp down slightly. Anything is a help in the high heat we have here. The commercial trees are pruned up high so they can be more easily commercially harvested with drive through equipment, etc. The trunk will require you paint it white if it is anyway exposed to sun, not a pretty look either. All that is not to say you can't trim a small amount on your citrus, I just wouldn't try to make it into a "walk underneath, east coast/NW region lollipop" type of tree. It'll do better if you mostly let it be it's bushy self. Best to trim when it's cooler - fall or very early spring. Welcome to AZ and good luck with you plants. You'll be astounded at how quickly things grow here. |
Hi Sonorablu, Your agave is the Agave americana, often called the Century Plant and a stunning example of a widely diverse group of succulents. They require deep, infrequent watering (so that the moisture soaks down at least two feet) once every three to four weeks in the summer and not at all in the winter. If you are using a spray head to water this plant, switch to a drip emitter so the water does't fall on the leaves. You may need to run your drip system for several hours to push the moisture down that far into the ground. Your yucca (it looks like Yucca elata or Soaptree Yucca) will live to bloom again. The flowers are pollinated by the yucca moth, who hides in the flower during the day, emerging at dusk to pollinate the flowers which bloom at night. The flowers are edible. The roots of this plant were used by native people to make a frothy soap. Be sure to leave the dry lower leaves on the stalk as they protect the plant from heat and cold. Try and resist the urge to prune your citrus. They are really large shrubs and do best if the canopy is allowed to grow nearly to the ground. Citrus are extremely vulnerable to sunburn. If you must prune, do so carefully, always removing a branch where it intersects with another branch or stem. Do not use sealants on the pruning cut - allow the wound to remain open to the air. Don't prune in the fall as branches left on the tree will protect it from winter cold. The best time to prune is in March. I've included a link to the U of A website in Maricopa County. They have a wealth of information that should work in La Paz County as well. I hope this helps. aztreelvr |
Here is a link that might be useful: U of A Publications on citrus and more
Thank you so much everyone for your advice! The citrus link is very helpful as well. I might actually become a gardener yet. It really is amazing the plants and trees grow out here and thrive so well, when it's above 110 for weeks. Some of the neighbors stood out and watched the yucca stalks get cut, it was like chopping down the town icon. It'd better bloom again. :P The plants are pretty hardy, except the lemon tree leaves turned yellow. I was sick recently and didn't realize it dried out in the recent heat wave. Hopefully it'll bounce back. The flood base for the trees are too small as well, since the bushes are wide. The only pruning I'll do is just the citrus branches growing into the neighbors fence, sometime this autumn. They probably don't mind though. The birds like to get in the trees and sprinklers. We have rabbits, but they don't seem to cause damage to the citrus or cactus, oddly enough. I was warned about wild goats that cruise the neighborhood eating the cactus sometimes. I haven't tackled the century plant yet, it does have new leaves in the middle. It could be it wasn't watered deep enough. Hopefully it's forgiving. Thanks again :) sb |

My agave is frost bitten. Do I prune the brown off or do I cut the whole plant back? Thank-you Kay |
You can prune off the brown...if you don't like the looks of it. But, I'd not prune anymore than you have to. Some companies prune their agaves and it tends to shorten their lifespans. Personally, I like the "natural" look of it. Happy Gardening |
My condo said plant is dangerous and can poke someone's eye out, can the big tips be cut off without the plant dying? |
