The Designer - Javier Mariscal
Javier Mariscal is born in Valencia in 1950.
At the age of 19 years we find him in Valencia, publishing El Senor del Caballito, his first character. He moves to Barcelona, studying at Escuela Elisava and founding El Rollo Enmascarado, an underground comic that is sold on the streets. In 1977 he holds his first individual exhibition, Gran Hotel, in which he transforms space into a multidisciplinary Hotel, with painted glass, hand-made sweaters, papier mache objects, editorial products and coloured canapes.
In 1989 Cobi is chosen as the Olympic mascot of Barcelona 92 and the exhibition '100 Years with Mariscal', produced by Mariscal himself, is held. A dismantled ship that has been emptied inside is used as a box to propose a comprehensive view of the thousands of supports forming Mariscal's work. Here we can already perceive a look, an attitude that serves as a thread, a nexus, a key. At the end, some computers where you can create and print your own Mariscal give the visitor the chance to carry off his or her own contribution. This same year Estudio Mariscal is born. Logotypes are designed and fashion bars are decorated. The team designs, together with Alfredo Arribas, the Acuarinto children's are a within the Huis ten Bosch park in Nagasaki (Japan).
This project combines architecture, interior design, graphic image, animation, merchandising and the new multimedia supports.
In 1996 Twipsy is chosen as the mascot of the Hanover 2000 World Expo. The development of the corporate and merchandising projects is carried out. 1998 marks the founding of Muviscal, a company devoted to audiovisual prodution. Muviscal produces the cartoon series Twipsy, formed by 52 chapters of 15 minutes. Twipsy is an Internet messenger who, through the confrontation of the real world and cyberspace, aims to visualize the new realities to the youngest audiences.
Estudio Mariscal produces Colors. This is a visual spectacle which combines an overhead projection screen, a protagonist-narrator who is a robot (Dimitri), 7 actors who are gymnasts, shadow-makers, dancers and stage-hands, 4 singing robots, a soundtrack and a lighting set-up. It is a tale in a humorous key in which the story of colours is told. Estudio Mariscal produced the collectable Diseno Grafico Salvat. This editorial project in 45 parts proposes a journey in the world of graphic design through concrete concepts and diverse attitudes at the cutting edge of design. At the moment Estudio Mariscal is developing various projects of interiorism for a hotel opposite the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, a theme park in southern Italy, a landscape project around the new municipal theatre in Mostoles and other graphic, audiovisual and editorial projects.
Javier Mariscal has never abandoned the more artistic aspect of his career and his work has been displayed in numerous individual and group exhibitions throughout this whole period. He also gives conferences in various parts of the world, shows his works and explains his professional experience to students of various disciplines.

Bel Canto Chorus will present Alexander Levine's "Prayers for Mankind" on Sunday, October 21, 2012 at 3:00 PM at the Basilica of St. Josaphat. Tickets are $20-$25, and are available at http://www.belcanto.org, 414-481-8801, or at the door. Senior and Student discounts available. Bel Canto Boy Choirs will also perform on this concert.
Bel Canto Chorus opens its 2012-2013 season with the live world premiere of Alexander Levine's eloquent, unaccompanied "Prayers for Mankind," celebrating unity, humanity, wisdom, and love.
"Prayers for Mankind" celebrates the life and writings of Father Alexander Men, a Russian Orthodox Christian priest who, despite being essentially unknown outside of Russia during his lifetime, has come to be hailed as a saint and martyr by thousands around the world. Following years of religious suppression under the communist regime, Fr. Men emerged as a leading Christian and humanitarian figure in Russia through radio and TV broadcasts and his prolific written works. As well as serving in his parish, he gave more than two hundred lectures during the last year of his life. On the morning of September 9, 1990, he was struck down from behind while walking. The police hinted that the culprit was a fanatical Jew; another rumor claimed it was a fanatical Christian. As there is no evidence for either, the most common theory is that it was an act of revenge by a fanatic from the Communist Party, who was angry that Fr. Men had helped put Christianity back center stage following more than 70 years of anti-religious activity by the state. These prayers, set by Russian composer Alexander Levine, capture the beauty of humanity according to Fr. Men's view of the world.
This season, titled "The Fine Art of Music", Bel Canto incorporates a visual arts dimension to its performances by linking paintings, woodcuts, and sketches from The David Barnett Gallery to the musical repertoire performed at each concert. In addition, a Milwaukee artist will live paint during each concert, allowing patrons to witness a visual, as well as a musical, live performance.
The featured artwork for "Prayers for Mankind" is "Vignette Bei Einiges" by Wassily Kandinsky. A Russian painter and graphic artist, Kandinsky had a fascination with music's emotional power. This woodcut in black and white was hand-printed in a limited edition of 300 for his 1911 "Klänge" (Sounds) series. The original will be on display courtesy of The David Barnett Gallery, and order forms for giclée reproductions will be available at the concert.

"A positive, innovative company destroyed by greed "
I worked at Press Ganey full-time (More than 5 years)
A great market, great clients, colleagues with a passion for improvement (most are now former PG employees).
Everyone who can is leaving or already gone, driven out by Pat Ryan and his cronies, who are intent on getting as much as they can before the owners wake up and figure out what is going on under their noses and fire these people. By that time, clients will have also figured out they are chumps for staying on.
It is rare to see a company and a culture fall so far so fast.

Was a great company to work for. Had a great culture of innovation, collaboration and team spirit. It trusted the workers and valued them. The teams themselves were wonderful to work with.
After recent change in management, there has been constant change or lack of direction would be more accurate. This has resulted in high level of attrition. While I hung on as much as I could, it was pointless to stay put without there being a team anymore. Most managerial decisions have been puzzling at best.

None that would be taken.

There are pockets of excellence hidden within the company. Find one, put your head down and do your job, and this place can be tolerable.
Seemingly never-ending string of exceptionally poor executives, poor decision making, zero accountability for poor performance at any level in the company. No direction, no vision from upper management. Spending money on wasteful things like it's going out of style.
Extremely hostile work environment, very very political. Ideas are evaluated and promoted not based upon their merit, but upon who proposed them and to whom that person is connected.Advice to Management
Go run someone else's company into the ground and give this once respectable organization a fighting chance.

Where are all the supermotos going?

The DR Z400SM is still in production, it just doesn't come to the US...if I'm not mistaken it's available in Canada.
Honda has four street legal Supermoto models to choose from in Italy....
The Dual Sport segment has never been a large market in the US and the Supermoto market is an even smaller portion of that market. The manufacturers tend to put bikes in regions where the sell best, or least better. Back in the mid eighties Honda's Dual Sport lineup had five or six models to choose from. At that time sport bikes were just getting popular and the demand for those increased and demand for dual sports dropped off. For a long time it was just the XR650L, then the CRF230L was added and they just added the CRF 250L. Hopefully this growing lineup will continue to grow, and hopefully new SM models will follow.
As far as practical goes I built my DR 650SM purely for fun in the twisties. I took what is (and will always be) a heavy big bore single that is not particular nimble off road...the tighter things get the worse it becomes. It does do everything satisfactorily and nothing exceptionally. Converting it into Supermoto form gave me a light weight bike (by street standards) that handles pretty damn good and sticks to the road like a magnet...the tighter things get the better it is. Converting to SM made a mediocre bike much more fun and focused. I put a small roll bag on the back so I can ride with empty pockets and have a place to store stuff when I'm parked...and I have some storage space without hanging a set of samsonite matched luggage off the sides. I hope to see more street legal Supermoto models in the future because this bike is the most fun I've ever had on the street.
I believe this is a picture of the 2012 Canadian DR Z400SM

Life, or the lack thereof, in Academia. Follow the phenomenon known as PHD Comics in this fifth book collection of the popular online comic strip by Jorge Cham, which takes a humorous look at academic dress codes, grant writing, and the multiple uses of lab coats. What if Isaac Newton had tweeted? What if research journals had a comments section? What if TV "science" shows were like real science? The book also contains an excerpt from the script of the recently released "The PHD Movie" as well as author Jorge Cham's comics journal of his travels and his detention by U.K. Border Police.
Jorge Cham obtained his Ph.D. in Robotics from Stanford University. He was later an Instructor at Caltech, when he realized his cartoons were getting more popular than his research.

It isn't everyday that you get to announce for a captive audience the world over!
Canadian voice over artist Lili Wexu shone brightly during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games as the French speaking announcer during both the Opening and Closing ceremonies.
At the top of her game, Lili has been announcing for a number of high profile national and international events via live broadcast.
Learn more about what Lili's been up to in today's VOX Daily!
One of the most prestigious roles a voice over talent can play is to serve as announcer during a live event hosted on the world's stage.
While all eyes at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games were on the promenading athletes and performers, our team proudly took note that all ears were listening to Voices.com voice talent member and confident award-winning talent, Lili Wexu, a Canadian bilingual voice over professional who had the honor of delivering French announcements to an audience of over 60,000 people and millions upon millions of people around the globe.
To cap off the games, she also served as the French announcer for the Closing ceremonies.
Lili's voice, already recorded this spring, will be providing announcements at the Juno Awards Gala dinner for the second year running. The Juno Awards honor Canadian musicians and shines the spotlight on the Canadian music industry. She also announced at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2009.
Over the past few years, Lili has found live announce to be an area of interest for her that has elevated her career to new heights.
In a previous article, we discussed whether or not the announcer has left the building... clearly, for events such as the Olympics, award shows, and so forth, the announcer is staying put and performs their role exceptionally well setting the tone for what is to come next and to give more dignity to high profile events.
Add a comment and let us know what you've been up to! Also, if you have any comments for Lili Wexu, you're welcome to share those too :)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,
Related Topics: announcer, announcing, awards, bilingual, English, French, industry, Lili Wexu, Olympic Games, Olympics, Vancouver, voices.comI created several announcements for a software company's national sales kickoff. They were brief, "please return to your seats" kind of announcements, but it was actually my first real job. That led to 2 other job possibilities, so it was worth every second!
Posted by:Hello Stephanie,
For several years I have been the pubic address announcer for a youth baseball complex, I donate my time, but its fun to make the kids feel like they are at a big league ballpark.
Also in my "day job" (fire captain) I am the voice on our portable radios, IE: when the radios are turned on or switched to different channels, Its my voice that announces where you are: dispatch, command 2, command 5, tac 12 ETC.....
Thanks for all these great articles...Randy Anderson
Posted by:The live gigs are my favorite! I'm still a live event producer so getting to be an announcer is always a thrill. Just finished up a youth business organization's awards show in Baton Rouge!
Posted by:Congrats to Lili! That's a great achievement!
Posted by:Many congrats to Lili!
I did a announcement gig for a radio station's presentation at a Benefit recently. I voiced the "gratitude/explanation of the Charity's purpose" speech of one of the guest of honour to the attendees.
Hi all,
Last week I did two 30 sec.spots for a local restaurant that just opened up called 'Big Als Snack Shack'. I was the voice of Big Al who is a hillbilly of sorts - the owners liked the voice and the sound and went with it - looks like more work down the road I'm told - sweet!
I'm still putting in the mighty 40 behind the mic announcing for the radio station I work for keeping my pipes tuned for other gigs they may want me for.
Between times I'm the 'Host' for a local talk show each week where we discuss what matters to all who live in the community in which I work.
In mid-April I'll be the emcee for an annual Canadian Red Cross event recognizing those who are well deserving.
After 5 full years with Voices.com, I've decided to drop my 'preferred' membership and plan to market myself in other ways -cudos to the gang at Voices.com for their hard work - it's been a blast!
Blair Wilson
Lili was magnifique.
I commented several times about what a fabulous job she was doing. Great of you to give her a shout out.
Happy Easter.
Posted by:Worked as an Update Producer out of the TSN Studios in Toronto for the Games. Wrote and voiced hourly highlight packages that were uploaded to both ctvolympics.ca and Bell Mobility. Was a fantastic gig!! And it was nice to combine my broadcast skills with my voice acting skills :)
Posted by:I've just listened to her recordings. I'm bilingual - but not that bilingual. I can almost always tell whether a person is English or French, but in her case, I can't. It's amazing. Great voice too.
Posted by:Hello, I am very interested in voice over work. I live in Victoria BC and would be interested in any projects. Please advise how to get started. I will do projects for free to get base started.

Stilton cheese
Stilton | |
Country of origin | England |
Region, town | and Nottinghamshire |
Source of milk | Cows |
Pasteurised | Yes |
Texture | semi-soft, crumbly, creamier with increasing age |
Aging time | 9 weeks minimum |
Certification | PDO[1] |
Stilton is an English cheese, produced in two varieties: Blue known for its characteristic strong smell and taste, and the lesser-known White. Both Blue Stilton and White Stilton have been granted the status of a protected designation of origin by the European Commission. The PDO status requires that only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called "Stilton".
According to the Stilton Cheesemaker's Association, the first Englishman to market Blue Stilton cheese was Cooper Thornhill, owner of the Bell Inn on the Great North Road, in the village of Stilton, Huntingdonshire.[2] Traditional legend has it that in 1730, Thornhill discovered a distinctive blue cheese while visiting a small farm near Melton Mowbray in rural Leicestershire – possibly in Wymondham.[3] He fell in love with the cheese and made a business arrangement that granted the Bell Inn exclusive marketing rights to Blue Stilton. Soon thereafter, wagon loads of cheese were being delivered to the inn. Since the main stagecoach routes from London to Northern England passed through the village of Stilton he was able to promote the sale of this cheese and the fame of Stilton rapidly spread.
However, the first known written reference to Stilton cheese actually predates this and was in William Stukeley's Itinerarium Curiosum, Letter V, dated October 1722. Daniel Defoe in his 1724 work A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain notes, "We pass'd Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is call'd our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites, or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese."[4]
Frances Pawlett (or Paulet), a "skilled cheese maker" of Wymondham, has traditionally been credited as the person who set modern Stilton cheese's shape and style characteristics in the 1720s,[5][6] but others have also been named.[7] The recipe for a Stilton cheese was published by Richard Bradley, first Professor of Botany at Cambridge University in his 1726 book A General Treatise of Husbandry and Gardening. Bradley records a letter from a correspondent, John Warner, which states the cheese is made in Stilton and that the Bell Inn produced "the best cheese in town".[8]
In 1936 the Stilton Cheesemakers' Association (SCMA) was formed to lobby for regulation to protect the quality and origin of the cheese, and in 1966 Stilton was granted legal protection via a certification trademark, the only British cheese to have received this status.[2]
Manufacture and PDO status[edit]
Blue Stilton's distinctive blue veins are created by piercing the crust of the cheese with stainless steel needles, allowing air into the core. The manufacturing and ripening process takes approximately nine to twelve weeks.
For cheese to use the name "Stilton", it must be made in one of the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, and must use pasteurised local milk. The manufacturers of Stilton cheese in these counties applied for and received Protected Geographical Status (PDO) in 1996.
There are currently just six[9] dairies licensed to make Stilton (three in Leicestershire, two in Nottinghamshire and one in Derbyshire), each being subject to regular audit by an independent inspection agency accredited to European Standard EN 45011. Four of the licensed dairies are based in the Vale of Belvoir, which straddles the Nottinghamshire-Leicestershire border. This area is commonly regarded as the heartland of Stilton production, with dairies located in the town of Melton Mowbray (Leics.) and the villages of Colston Bassett (Notts.), Cropwell Bishop (Notts.), Long Clawson (Leics.) and Saxelbye (Leics.). Another Leicestershire dairy was located in the grounds of Quenby Hall near the village of Hungarton, which is outside the generally accepted boundaries of the Vale of Belvoir. Quenby Hall restarted Stilton production in a new dairy in August 2005 (the old dairy dates back to the 18th century) but the business folded in 2011.[10] The former Dairy Crest-owned licensed dairy that produced Stilton at Hartington in Derbyshire was acquired by the Long Clawson dairy in 2008 and closed in 2009, with production transferred to Leicestershire. Two former employees set up the Hartington Creamery at Pikehall in Hartington parish which was licensed in 2014.[11]
Stilton cheese cannot be currently produced in the village that gave the cheese its name.[12] Stilton village is not in the three permitted counties; it is in the administrative county of Cambridgeshire, and in the historic county of Huntingdonshire. There had been no evidence at the time of the application for PDO 1996 that cheese using the same recipe as modern Stilton cheese had ever been made in the village. However recent evidence indicates that it is unlikely that the village would have been a centre for selling of cheese, unless cheese was also made in the area.[citation needed] Furthermore a recipe for a cream cheese made in Stilton in the early 18th century has since been discovered and since more than one type of cheese was usually made, it is possible that a blue cheese was also made in the area.[13] The Original Cheese Company applied to Defra to amend the Stilton PDO to include the village but the application was rejected in 2013.[14]
To be called "Blue Stilton", a cheese must:[citation needed]
- Be made only in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire from local milk, which is pasteurised before use.
- Have the traditional cylindrical shape.
- Form its own crust or coat.
- Be unpressed.
- Contain delicate blue veins radiating from the centre.
- Have a "taste profile typical of Stilton".
Stilton has a typical fat content of ~35%, and protein content of ~23%.
Similar cheeses[edit]
A number of blue cheeses are made in a similar way to Blue Stilton. These cheeses get their blue veins and distinct flavour from the use of one or more saprotrophic fungi such as Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium glaucum.
Stichelton is made in the same way as Stilton cheese and uses cows' milk from a permitted county (Nottinghamshire), but the milk is unpasteurised and so under the PDO it cannot be designated as true Stilton.
Since the PDO came into effect, some British supermarkets have stocked a generic British Blue cheese. Other makers have adopted their own names and styles. Blacksticks Blue, Garstang Blue, Cote Hill and Lincoln Blue are typical examples.
Other examples of blue cheeses include Gorgonzola cheese of Italy, which is made from cows' milk; and the French cheeses Fourme d'Ambert from Auvergne and made with cows' milk and Roquefort, which is made with ewes' milk.
Blue Stilton is often eaten with celery or pears. It is also commonly added as a flavouring to vegetable soup, most notably to cream of celery or broccoli.[15] Alternatively it is eaten with various crackers, biscuits and bread. It can also be used to make a blue cheese sauce to be served drizzled over a steak, or can be crumbled over a salad. Traditionally, a barleywine or port are paired with Blue Stilton, but it also goes well with sweet sherry or Madeira wine. The cheese is traditionally eaten at Christmas.[16] The rind of the cheese forms naturally during the aging process, and is perfectly edible, unlike the rind of some other cheeses such as Edam or Port-Salut.
"White Stilton" has not had the Penicillium roqueforti mould introduced into it which would otherwise lead to the blue veining normally associated with Stilton. It is a crumbly, creamy, open textured cheese and is now extensively used as a base for blending with apricot, ginger and citrus or vine fruits to create unique dessert cheeses and has even been used as a flavouring for chocolate.[17]
Huntsman cheese is made with both Blue Stilton and Double Gloucester.
A 2005 survey carried out by the British Cheese Board reported that Stilton cheese seemed to cause unusual dreams when eaten before sleep, with 75% of men and 85% of women experiencing "odd and vivid" dreams after eating a 20-gram serving of the cheese half an hour prior to sleeping.[18]
Cultural influence[edit]
British author G. K. Chesterton wrote a couple of essays on cheese, specifically on the absence of cheese in art. In one of his essays he recalls a time when he, by chance, visited a small town in the fenlands of England, which turned out to be Stilton. His experience in Stilton left a deep impression on him, which he expressed through poetry in his Sonnet to a Stilton Cheese:
Stilton, thou shouldst be living at this hour
And so thou art. Nor losest grace thereby;
England has need of thee, and so have I—
She is a Fen. Far as the eye can scour,
League after grassy league from Lincoln tower
To Stilton in the fields, she is a Fen.
Yet this high cheese, by choice of fenland men,
Like a tall green volcano rose in power.
Plain living and long drinking are no more,
And pure religion reading "Household Words",
And sturdy manhood sitting still all day
Shrink, like this cheese that crumbles to its core;
While my digestion, like the House of Lords,
The heaviest burdens on herself doth lay.
This is in part a parody of William Wordsworth's sonnet London, 1802, the opening line of which was "Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour."
George Orwell wrote an essay, "In Defence of English Cooking", first published in the Evening Standard on 15 December 1945. While enumerating the high points of British cuisine, he touches on Stilton: "Then there are the English cheeses. There are not many of them but I fancy that Stilton is the best cheese of its type in the world, with Wensleydale not far behind."
Stilton has a smell not to everyone's taste and has been likened to that of feet. The Stilton Cheese Makers Association has produced a fragrance called "Eau de Stilton" which "is very different to the very sweet perfumes you smell wafting down the street as someone walks past you".[19]
The search for an unpasteurised Stilton cheese was a plot element of a List of Chef! episodes entitled "The Big Cheese", aired on the BBC One television station on 25 February 1993.

Iginla Rally Ignites Flames
Flames Grow Cushion to Six Points
March 2nd, 2004 RICK CHARLTON
There may have been no better measure of how far the Calgary Flames have come this magical year than yet another display of a killer instinct so often missing through the previous seven lost seasons.
Trailing 1-0 entering the third period in a crucial Western Conference battle on the road last night, Calgary drilled two quick markers early in the final frame, eventually felling St. Louis 4-2 on the back of three points from Jarome Iginla leaving the Flames six points up on the rapidly disappearing ninth place Blues in the wild Western Conference.
Although the contest might have been better described as "must win" for St. Louis, the Flames nevertheless needed this one badly, a young club that might have seen the veteran Blues closing in on them hard in the rear view mirror are instead given a margin of comfort as the final traces of this wondrous season wind their way to conclusion.
Steve Reinprecht, with his first marker in 28 games and Iginla with his 32nd of the year, both scored within 51 seconds early in the third and Iginla added his 33rd as the eventual game winner late in the game as Calgary pulled out a crucial victory in a penalty filled and physical contest, Flames now 33-24-5-3 on the year, good for 74 points.
"We just wanted to stick with it," said Iginla after the game on FAN960 of the mood in the Calgary dressing room entering the final period. "We thought we were going alright. I think we felt we were due. We hadn't scored too many goals against them in two (previous) games. We just kept pushing and finally broke through."
"It's a very big game and it feels great to win it. We feel we want to keep going."
With Iginla a plus four on the night, the Blues Big Boys of Chris Pronger (minus four), Pavol Demitra (minus three) and Keith Tkachuk (minus three) were clearly outplayed, probably the deciding factor in the game.
For St. Louis, the loss could only be called a disaster, an opportunity to close to within two points of idle eighth place LA and seventh place Calgary having gone up in smoke, yet symptomatic of their entire season.
The rapidly fading Blues are winless in six and still without a victory for new coach Mike Kitchen who replaced the fired Joel Quennville four games ago with little difference, the Blues streak of 24 consecutive seasons in the playoffs now in serious jeopardy.
It was the first time Calgary had beaten St. Louis in two seasons and a more timely victory would have been hard to imagine.
Calgary spent much of this game tempting fate, the sixth ranked home power play in the NHL getting ample opportunity to test its mettle against the 16th ranked road penalty killing of Calgary, the Flames offering up six power play opportunities to the Blues before the end of the second period and eight in total before the night was out.
Made more infuriating were the two consecutive extra man penalties taken by Calgary within the first ten minutes of the first period, the Blues opening scoring only 2:12 in on the powerplay when a Chris Pronger bullet was deflected by Scott Mellanby past Calgary starter Miikka Kiprusoff.
Only :48 seconds into the third period, however, Blues starter Chris Osgood was hit behind the St. Louis net by Ville Nieminen and couldn't retreat back to his area of responsibility in time, allowing Iginla to touch a pass out front to Reinprecht, the latter banging the puck home from the slot for his first in 28 games.
Fifty one seconds later, playing four on four hockey, Andrew Ference then drove a hard rocket from the point with Osgood yielding a satisfactory rebound to Iginla, who found the open net with ease at 1:39.
Demitra finally connected on yet another Blues powerplay, pouncing on a pass from Pronger near the crease and finding an open net at 14:50, the Blues drawing even and seemingly given a second lease on life.
But Iginla drove the net hard exactly 100 seconds later, pounding his own rebound past Osgood at 16:30 and putting the lights out on the Blues for good.
Reinprecht then added his second of the game and eighth of the season into an empty net at 19:26.
The game marked the 22nd time in 25 starts that Kiprusoff has surrendered two or fewer goals this season, the big Calgary netminder now 17-6-2 on the year and creeping into Vezina Trophy talk in spite of his limited minutes.
Kiprusoff stopped 28 of 30 shots while Osgood surrendered three goals on 17 shots.
It doesn't get easier for the Flames, the team catching a flight to Detroit immediately after the game to battle the front running Wings on Wednesday night. Not as critical perhaps but they're all going to be important as the season winds down.
1) Jarome Iginla - That's why he earns the big bucks, the Flames uber-winger turning into a big game player, assisting on the tying goal and scoring two, including the game winner, his ninth of the year, in a critical Conference contest.
2) Steve Reinprecht - Discreetly nursing a still banged up shoulder, but finally breaks through with two goals.
3) Miikka Kiprusoff - Gives up two goals or less on a monotonous but reassuring basis, his team having an opportunity to win most nights when he's in net.
Mike Rycroft whizzed down right wing and let a blistering shot go on Miikka Kiprusoff, the Flames goaltender smothering the rocket and keeping the score at 1-0 midway through the second period.
Kryzstof Oliwa found Scott Mellanby loitering near the bench area midway through the second period, the not-insignificant Mellanby dropping like a shot from a less-than-discreet elbow.
Blues have qualified for the playoffs 24 straight years. Calgary has missed the post-season seven straight years . . . .Blues had been shutout two straight games. . . . . . . Scratched was the struggling Matthew Lombardi as well as bubble boy Josh Green . . . . . . The pair of extra man penalties give Calgary 20 for the season, tops in the league in a dubious category. . . . . . Flames were 45% in the faceoff circle, led by the 55% of Craig Conroy. Jamal Mayers was 66% for St. Louis. . . . . Pronger was tops with 30:53 in ice time while Jordan Leopold logged 23:42 for Calgary. The differential in those two numbers might be a good testimony as to the difference in depth between the two teams with Al MacInnis and Barret Jackman injured for the Blues. . . . .

Last November, I announced my intention to create a portfolio of 10 companies that investors had effectively thrown away and given up on, in the hope of showing that deep-value investing and contrarian thinking can actually be a successful investing method. I dubbed this the "One Person's Trash Is Another Person's Treasure" portfolio, and over a 10-week span I highlighted companies that I thought fit this bill and could drastically outperform the benchmark S&P 500 over the coming 12 months. If you're interested in the reasoning behind why I chose these companies, then I encourage you to review my synopsis of each portfolio selection:
Now let's get to the portfolio and see how it fared this week:

(3.9%) |
This week's winner
Despite no company-specific news, trucking company Arkansas Best topped the charts this week with a gain of 3.6%. Arkansas Best continues to benefit from the ratification of a multiyear labor agreement with union members that will dramatically lower the company's expenses and allow it to more cost-effectively compete against its peers. Although it has already had quite the run higher, Arkansas Best could surprise Wall Street in the quarters ahead.
This week's loser
On the flip side, coal miner Arch Coal had a rough week, losing 11.3% after facing a downgrade to sell from Goldman Sachs, which also set a price target of just $3 on the stock. According to Goldman, Arch is highly levered with debt and could see added costs of early coal plant retirements with coal prices remaining low. However, I see a stabilizing coal market and a push into overseas markets as a good sign that Arch's business is near a turning point.
Also in the news...
In the slowly winding-down daytime drama Dells of our Lives, we got word that the company had cleared all regulatory hurdles and received approval to go private for $24.9 billion in a leveraged buyout by CEO Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners. In addition, Dell also went ex-dividend this week, pushing its share price down $0.08 but also preparing us to receive another $0.08 per-share payout shortly.
Speaking of companies going ex-dividend and making headlines, office supply superstore Staples also went ex-divvy this week in anticipation of a $0.12 quarterly payment on Oct. 17. Also, just yesterday Staples disclosed the purchase of privately held online shopping software company Runa for an undisclosed sum. Staples said the move will help it offer customers a more real-time and broader inventory selection. This is key, as Staples has a genuine shot at unseating Amazon.com in the office supply direct-to-consumer space in the coming years.
Finally, international telecom service provider Orange was downgraded to neutral by Exane BNP Paribas on Monday. This is becoming common practice for brokerage firms of late, with Orange having a big run following the Verizon-Vodafone Verizon Wireless deal and the expectation of more asset sales and consolidation. I continue to be encouraged by Orange's push into the emerging markets and would look for its cash flow to support a dividend close to 8%-10%.
We can do better
For the week we neither gained nor lost ground to the broad-based S&P 500. It's certainly been a bit of struggle from the start given that the portfolio is comprised of contrarian and deep-discount names and the S&P 500 has been predominantly shooting to the moon. However, over the long run I'm convinced that contrarian thinking and value-seeking can be an effective way to outperform the S&P 500.

Here is the county breakdown of the Wisconsin death penalty vote, formatted to be more readable than the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article we referenced earlier. The initiative won by double digits in 60 of Wisconsin's 72 counties, included third-largest Waukesha, just west of Milwaukee. It won by smaller margins in another 8, including a squeaker in Milwaukee itself. The "no" vote pulled single digit margins in three counties. The "no" forces won decisively in a grand total of one county, second-largest PDR Dane. Here is a county map for reference.

The Dane County vote is hardly surprising. It is basically a government/university community since it is the home of the capital and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Low Latency and Private Optical Networks Equals Faster ROI
Click here to view now
Overview: Financial markets firms are overwhelmed by market data and need to build applications and infrastructure that can deliver high performance and ultra low latency to source liquidity pools, execute trades, analyze risk and maintain a real-time order book. To be competitive, firms must receive data from direct exchange feeds and then push that data throughout the enterprise, explains Tom Rice, Research Director, TowerGroup. Firms of all sizes are turning to private fiber optic networks that allow data to be transmitted in native formats and improve their ability to source liquidity. These private networks provide much better performance than IP networks and enable firms to increase bandwidth easily as capacity demands increase. Firms can easily add services with Cienas FlexiPort Technology, reducing maintenance and management costs, says Ray Patalano, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Ciena.

Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women
In Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women, Christine B. Whelan shatters the myth that high-achieving women are at a disadvantage in the marriage market. There's good news for the millions of American SWANS (Strong Women Achievers, No Spouse): that today's smart, successful women marry at the same rates as all other women -- and that more income and education may in fact increase a woman's chances of marriage.
What's more, as Dr. Whelan shows through newly released U.S. Census data, a large-scale Harris Interactive survey commissioned especially for this book, plus extended interviews conducted in cities nationwide, this profound demographic shift shows every sign of progressing. That means that the "success penalty" that has endured for generations is, as soon as 2010, destined for the history books.
Accomplished daughters, sisters, and friends (not to mention their mothers) can finally stop worrying that the twin pinnacles of personal and professional happiness are inherently unattainable. In fact, smart men do marry SWANS. Ninety percent of high-achieving men surveyed want a woman who is as intelligent or more intelligent than they are. And two-thirds of men said they believed smart women make better mothers. Pairing cutting-edge research with sound advice, Dr. Whelan brings to mind what smart women everywhere have long known in their hearts: that the goal is not just to get married, but to have a good marriage, and to lead a fulfilled life.

Yikes! Sounds like rabies. I really hope you all have seen a doctor by now.
I wonder if she got into something that was poisonous that caused encephalopathy. Anyway, hopefully by now you have seen a vet and she is recovered.

Part of the Jewish Encounter series
Born Dov-Ber Rasofsky to Eastern European immigrant parents, Barney Ross grew up in a tough Chicago neighborhood and witnessed his father's murder, his mother's nervous breakdown, and the dispatching of his three younger siblings to an orphanage, all before he turned fourteen. To make enough money to reunite the family, Ross became a petty thief, a gambler, a messenger boy for Al Capone, and, eventually, an amateur boxer. Turning professional at nineteen, he would capture the lightweight, junior welterweight, and welterweight titles over the course of a ten-year career.
Ross began his career as the scrappy "Jew kid," ended it as an American sports icon, and went on to become a hero during World War II, earning a Silver Star for his heroic actions at Guadalcanal. While recovering from war wounds and malaria he became addicted to morphine, but with fierce effort he ultimately kicked his habit and then campaigned fervently against drug abuse. And the fighter who brought his father's religious books to training camp also retained powerful ties to the world from which he came. Ross worked for the creation of a Jewish state, running guns to Palestine and offering to lead a brigade of Jewish American war veterans.
This first biography of one of the most colorful boxers of the twentieth century is a galvanizing account of an emblematic life: a revelation of both an extraordinary athlete and a remarkable man.
About the Author
Douglas Century has coauthored several national bestsellers including Under and Alone with William Queen, Takedown with Rick Cowan, Street Kingdom: Five Years Inside the Franklin Avenue Posse, and If Not Now, When? with Colonel Jack Jacobs.
Praise For…
"An excellent story of a man and his times. And proof positive that time does not relinquish its hold over men or monuments. In a sport devoted to fashioning halos for its superstars, Ross wore a special nimbus, and this book properly fi ts him for that."
—Bert Randolph Sugar, The New York Times Book Review
"Will a better book on the fighter ever be written? I have to doubt it. The research is impressive yet unostentatious. The prose is trim and elegant, and lands its emotional blows with very effective precision . . . Century doesn't waste a single paragraph."
—Scott McLemee, Newsday
"Barney Ross's life is a curious mix: a boxer with a religious streak who was haunted by the death of his own dad. Douglas Century has managed to deal with all of Ross's contradictions and mysteries, when Jewish fighters were like gods of the ghetto. This is a deeply moving book."
—Jerome Charyn, author of Savage Shorthand: The Life and Death of Isaac Babel
"Fascinating . . . A powerful account of the career of 'one of the two greatest Jewish boxers of the twentieth century.'"
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"If there is still a queue of writers mining the Depression Era for racehorses or prizefighters with inspirational stories that will resonate with today's readers, Douglas Century has beaten them to the punch . . . Ross's consummate boxing skills and toughness made him one of the last heirs to a largely untold tradition of formidable Jewish pugilists."
—Kirkus Reviews
