Man marks 10th year of waving U.S. flag on Everett corner
Man marks 10th year at downtown Everett post
Dan Bates / The Herald
Kevin Moeller, 59, of Snohomish waves at passersby from the corner of Hewitt and Colby avenues in downtown Everett on Friday. Moeller has done the flag waving and opinion sharing almost every Friday, rain or shine, for the past 10 years.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Holding a large American flag, Kevin Moeller, 59, of Snohomish waves at passersby from the corner of Hewitt and Colby avenues in downtown Everett on Friday.
They've been a downtown fixture for a decade. They first appeared as the nation headed toward war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the start of the war, which was announced about 7:15 p.m. here.
Kevin Moeller, 59, president of the Evergreen Troop Support Group, said he hopes the Iraqi people take advantage of the chance they were given for a more free country.
"We got rid of Saddam, and given them (Iraqis) the opportunity to start over again," said Moeller, a Snohomish contractor.
Since 2003, Moeller has shown-up nearly every Friday about noon to 1 p.m. to wave at passing cars. The days of loud demonstrations, and some scuffling, with those who held weekly anti-war protests at the intersection's opposite corners are long over.
Those folks stopped showing up around the time President Barack Obama was elected, Moeller said. And it seems to him that his group doesn't get flipped off as often by passersby anymore.
He guesses that most people who were upset with his group probably were frustrated with President George W. Bush's policies in the Middle East, and those people were just taking it out on them.
And he doesn't quite agree with the way the war was run, either.
The U.S. was just "going through the motions" instead of facing the enemy head-on, and the American forces were restricted by guidelines similar to those of the Vietnam War, he said.
He stresses that he and his group "don't like war more than anybody else does."
As for Iraq, "It drug on longer than it should have," he said. "It wasn't executed properly or it would have been dealt with better, the biggest problem now, is that war is politically incorrect, and we're not allowed to be politically incorrect."
As for the future of the Iraqi people, Moeller said he isn't especially optimistic, but is hopeful that the newly formed Iraqi government can stand on its own.
He'll keep demonstrating until he feels that U.S. troops overseas and at home aren't being forgotten.
Moeller, who comes from a military family, said that when his brother returned from Vietnam he was spit upon at the airport.
He doesn't want any troops coming home from war to be treated like that. "Whether we know it or not they are trying to protect our freedom," he said.
Group members John McKee, 74,and his wife Audrey McKee, 75, meet at the corner for largely the same reason.
John McKee, an Air Force veteran, served in Vietnam twice. He remembers one time when he was out of the country, neighbors told his children that their father was a child killer.
"We're here to let the GIs know that somebody cares about them," he said.

TRAINING: Training is always a progression of breaking my limits. I don't train to fight him specifically; I make sure I know what my opponent's strengths are and what can make me lose the fight. I put nothing past them. I train to enforce my will on my opponent and make them fight me. I train to take the athleticism out of them and make them fight me with their heart. At the end of the fight I will gain their respect, no matter the outcome.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was always competitive growing up. I took karate and wrestled in High School and then went up to 245 pounds. I got sick looking in the mirror and I started training to lose weight. I had my first amateur fight, and I felt I could prosper in this, so I became passionate about training and my health.

The four-year journey through medical school ended for the 161 students in the LECOM Bradenton Class of 2009, which received doctor of osteopathic medicine degrees during commencement ceremonies June 7 at the Manatee Convention and Civic Center in Palmetto, Fla.
|Dr. Navendu Trivedi celebrates after hooding his daughter, Puja Trivedi, DO, at LECOM Bradenton's commencement ceremony.
This was the second class to graduate from LECOM Bradenton. Keynote speaker Carlo DiMarco, DO, President of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), welcomed students into the osteopathic family. He also encouraged students to lean on their family and friends as they enter the world of internships and residencies.
"Truly there is something special about this profession," DiMarco said. "Take advantage of meeting other DOs – connect with them, since you are now part of the osteopathic family.
"And don't forget to fall back on your family when times get tough. They are the ones that will keep you sane and balanced on your next journey."
The next stop for April Smith-Gonzalez is into the field of primary care. The winner of LECOM's Dedication to Primary Care award for family medicine said the lack of primary care physicians in her hometown of West Palm Beach, Fla., made the music teacher turned physician heed the call.
"In Palm Beach County where I'm from, doctors are quitting every day," she said. "There is a huge need for high quality primary care physicians. It's a struggle to find a good, smart primary care doctor who can handle the day-to-day challenges. It's a challenge I'm looking forward to."
LECOM continues to be at the forefront of producing primary care physicians, with two of every three osteopathic medicine graduates continuing on to practice primary care medicine. U.S. News and World Report ranked LECOM fifth nationally in producing primary care physicians.
Each year, LECOM recognizes four students for their dedication to primary care. Joining Smith-Gonzalez in receiving those honors are Daniel Leonard (Internal Medicine), Kristen Archdeacon (Pediatrics), and Julia King (Obstetrics and Gynecology).

Hello all! I'm a senior conservation biology major.
I play bass guitar and many other instruments when I, ahem, "get down" in my spare time. You might ask yourself, "What does this guy know about writing?" You can rest assured that if we were in a session together I would ask you more questions that would lead you to the answer. However, since I have no idea who you are (yet!) allow me to explain. All disciplines require written communication. And believe me, I've taken quite the tour of various disciplines while in college.
I've had five majors ranging from mechanical engineering to religious studies. In that time, I've accumulated a sense of what works and what doesn't. The fundamental threads underlying all successful writing are clear thought and sufficient knowledge or data about which to think and write. In both my personal and professional life, I strive for this clarity of thought and I have developed some skill in assisting others to find it. In short, good writing comes from good thinking. Come and see me in the commons and we'll get to work!
Emily B is a Junior English major who started working as a Writing Commons Tutor in Fall 2013.

Broccoli Forever
My son loves, i mean LOVES brocolli (he's 6) but he won't eat any other vegetable. Should i worry that he's not getting enough variety?

Lucky you! You don't need to be "worried" but do try to encourage more vegetables. How about offering two or three vegetables and let him create faces or other creations out of them? Start where he is and add on from there.
That's great that he likes brocolli! Something I have been learning lately is that it's best to get the color of the rainbow in your fruits and veggies! Just picture the rainbow how there is red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, etc. The colors show the different nutrients in the foods!
Don't worry. Just keep introducing new vegetables and give him the opportunity to try new things. children often eat the same food over and over and then one day decide to move to something else. It's much better that he eats broccoli than potato chips or candy.
Thank your lucky stars! The only fruit or veggie my 5-year-old daughter will eat is bananas (no veggies except french fries or tomato sauce).
Be glad he eats only broccoli. If only my grandson would eat only broccoli. He eats no veggies and no fruits.
He is 3.
Any suggestions.

Sea Level Rise
Sea Level Rise
Sea level rise refers to the relatively recent net increase in Earth's ocean volume and depth, a trend that is widely attributed to rising global temperatures. While sea levels fluctuated dramatically in prehuman history, scientists link the past century's rapid rise at least partly to manmade global warming.
Sea levels rose about 1.7 mm per year during the 20th century, according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and are now rising about 3.1 mm per year. This is partly because seawater naturally expands as it absorbs heat, increasing the overall oceanic volume, but also because excess warmth melts glaciers, sea ice, ice caps and ice sheets, adding more water to the oceans.
Sea level rise can have disastrous effects on the environment. As seawater washes inland, it erodes land, floods wetlands and damages habitats. As levels continue to rise, low-lying islands and coastlines will be vulnerable to flooding and eventually, submersion. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

This proves it! Whipping Your Children Makes Them Good.
by James Denison - 1/9/13 8:20 AM
If it works on adults....
maybe this is why liberals are so miserable when they grow up, they didn't get enough loving, caring, spankings when they were children. Could it be they are just seeking a parent's loving discipline?
"Siberian psychologist Dr German Pilipenko started practicing a unique
form of addiction therapy termed the "method of limited exposure or
pain" in 2004, according to the Siberian Times. The technique involves beating drug addicts with a cane on their backsides.
"We cane the patients on the buttocks with a clear and definite
medical purpose - it is not some warped sadomasochistic activity," said
Pilipenko's fellow practitioner, Marina Chukhrova.
Pilipenko said he's treated more than a thousand patients, including
Americans. They come seeking cures for their addictions to drugs,
alcohol, work and even sex.
"I am the proof that this controversial treatment works," one of
Pilipenko's patients, "Natasha," told the Times. "I recommend it to
anyone suffering from an addiction or depression. It hurts like crazy --
but it's given me back my life."
Pilipenko said part of the reason the treatment works is because it
releases endorphins into the blood stream, which are often depleted in
addicts. "

National Hockey League Previews from The Sports Network
Saturday, December 7th (All times Eastern)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Flyers continue a six-game road trip on Saturday afternoon in Dallas, where they will try to avoid their first loss to the Stars in six years.
The Flyers have won each of their past six meetings with the Stars, having not lost to the club since Dec. 1, 2007 in Philadelphia. That streak includes three straight victories in Dallas.
Philly is 2-1 so far on a six-game swing, having rallied from two goals down to beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-3 on Wednesday. Sean Couturier paced the comeback with his first career four-point game, notching two goals and a pair of assists.
Matt Read, Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell also tallied during the Flyers' run of five straight goals scored and Steve Mason made 32 saves.
"We knew we had to come out flying and get pucks on the net," Read said of the team's comeback. "It was just a very gritty comeback win by us and something we can build off of."
Read and Hartnell added two assists each. Hartnell is scheduled to skate in his 900th career regular-season game tonight, while Read is tied with Vincent Lecavalier for the team lead in goals with nine.
Lecavalier has missed the past two games with back spasms and is not expected to play today either.
Mason, who has won three straight starts, is 4-3-1 with a 2.31 goals against average in his career versus the Stars.
Dallas has points in five straight, going 2-0-3 in that span. The Stars are coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday despite registering a season-high 50 shots on net.
Shawn Horcoff had a goal and an assist and Erik Cole also scored for the Stars. Kari Lehtonen allowed all three goals on 24 shots.
Dallas lost not only the game but defenseman Trevor Daley to a lower-body injury when he crashed into the end boards during the second period and had to be helped off the ice.
"He's got an injury that looks like it's going to take some time," said Stars head coach Lindy Ruff. "It's going to be nothing that's going to be short- term."
Dallas is already without defender Stephane Robidas for the next 4-to-6 months due to a broken leg. Jamie Oleksiak and Kevin Connauton are in line to fill the void left by Robidas and Daley, with Connauton having picked up his first NHL point with an assist on Thursday.
If Ruff wants to find a good spot to rest Lehtonen, today may be the time. The netminder has never beaten the Flyers in his career, going 0-10-2 with a 3.50 GAA.
Backup Dan Ellis is 1-1-0 in three career starts against the Flyers, but with a 6.23 GAA.
(SportsNetwork.com) - Thanks to the play of Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins don't need to rush Evgeni Malkin back from his current injury.
Malkin is expected to miss his second straight game on Saturday night when the streaking Penguins visit the Boston Bruins for the final time this season.
Most teams would be left scrambling when a player like Malkin went down late with an injury, but most teams don't have Crosby. The superstar forward leads the NHL with 41 points (Malkin is second with 37) and notched three assists in Thursday's 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Chris Kunitz scored twice during a four-goal second period for the Pens and praised the play of Crosby afterwards.
"He did so many things, little things people don't always see," Kunitz said of Crosby. "He just dominated."
Malkin missed the game with a lower-body injury that caused him to leave the morning skate early. He is day-to-day, but did not travel to Boston.
In his absence, Crosby ran his assist total to 26 on the season in his 500th career game. It was a long-awaited milestone for the 26-year-old, who had dealt with injury during his career. That includes a right ankle ailment early in his career and serious concussion that caused him to miss the last 41 games of the 2010-11 campaign and limited him to just 22 contests the following season.
Still, Crosby has notched 253 goals and 453 assists for 706 points in his eight-plus seasons.
"Looking back I probably think about how many I've missed more than playing 500," Crosby said prior to the game. "But it's been great. It's gone by quick, that's for sure. But to get to 500 is definitely a nice number."
Crosby wasn't the only star of Thursday's game as Marc-Andre Fleury made a season-high 44 saves. Pascal Dupuis, Jayson Megna and Kris Letang also scored, though Dupuis suffered an undisclosed injury in the victory over one of the top teams of the Western Conference.
Andrew Ebbett has also been placed on injured reserve due to a broken ankle, so the Pens recalled forward Harry Zolnierczyk from the American Hockey League on Friday. He has notched a team-leading nine goals in 18 games with Wilkes- Barre/Scranton this season.
Pittsburgh has now won a season-high five straight games since an overtime loss to Boston on Nov. 25. The Bruins saw first-hand just how dangerous Crosby can be as he netted a game-tying goal with just 0.3 seconds left in the third period.
However, the Bruins rebounded on Torey Krug's tally 34 seconds into the bonus frame for a 4-3 win that snapped the Penguins' seven-game series winning streak.
Pittsburgh also lost for the first time in its last seven trips to Boston.
This is the third and final meeting of the regular season between the clubs. Fleury and Boston's Tuukka Rask have split the first two contests, with Fleury going 11-5-3 with a 2.28 goals against average in his career versus the Bruins.
Rask is 2-5-0 with a 2.74 GAA in his career against the Penguins. He made 25 saves in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Gregory Campbell scored the only goal for the Bruins, who were 6-1-1 in their previous eight games and fell a point behind the Canadiens for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Already without defenseman Adam McQuaid due to a nagging lower-body issue, fellow blueliner Johnny Boychuk left the game early in the contest. He was hurt while battling at the left-corner boards with Montreal's Max Pacioretty, who pushed Boychuk into the boards head first.
Boychuk laid on the ice for several minutes with trainers attending to him. He was conscious the whole time and his whole body was immobilized before he was carted off the ice on a stretcher and taken to a local hospital.
Head coach Claude Julien said after the game that Boychuk was cleared to fly back to Boston with the team and did not know the severity of the injury.
He wouldn't blame the setback on the loss of the defenseman either.
"You've got to take the blame for what you did and didn't do," said Julien. "We didn't show up for the second period and allowed them to score two goals on us. That's the only place that cost us the game."
Boston begins a four-game road trip with a stop in Toronto on Sunday.
(SportsNetwork.com) - After taking over first place in the Atlantic Division last time out, the Montreal Canadiens take aim at a season-high fifth straight victory on Saturday night as they play host to the Buffalo Sabres.
Montreal trailed division-leading Boston by a point in the standings ahead of Thursday's meeting at the Bell Centre, but jumped into first place after beating the Bruins 2-1 in regulation.
Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty had the goals, while Carey Price notched 32 saves and allowed less than three goals for a ninth straight outing.
Montreal is on its third four-game win streak of the season and is 8-0-1 in its last nine games, as well as 10-1-2 in the last 13.
"They came out strong, you have to give the Bruins credit for that," said Habs coach Michel Therrien. "But we adjusted really well. We played with desperation in the second period. We knew the importance of tonight's game and a lot of credit goes to my players. I think they left it on the ice and emptied the tank."
Pacioretty netted his team-leading 11th goal of the season, one more than Plekanec, and nine of those tallies have come in his last nine games. He managed to score the go-ahead goal late in the second period after shaking off a scary incident in the first period.
Boston lost defenseman Johnny Boychuk when he went into the left-corner boards to chase down a puck. He was pushed from behind by Pacioretty and hit the boards head first.
Boychuk laid on the ice for several minutes with trainers attending to him. He was conscious the whole time and his body was immobilized before he was carted off the ice on a stretcher.
Pacioretty was issued a boarding minor on the play at 4:28 and said the play shook him up a bit.
The 25-year-old, of course, was taken off the ice on a stretcher during an encounter with Boston on March 8, 2011 after the Bruins' Zdeno Chara drilled him into the stanchion at the end of the bench. Pacioretty suffered a concussion and fractured vertebrae as a result of the hit.
"I honestly had no intention of even really hitting somebody. I was making a play and battling in the corner," said Pacioretty, who hadn't seen a replay of the hit. "I can't comment on how the hit went because I honestly don't really know. It seemed like it was a battle play."
The Sabres will try to earn a victory tonight following Thursday's 3-1 setback to the New York Rangers. Buffalo did not get its lone goal in that loss until Tyler Ennis' tally with 2:06 left to play and fell to 1-6-1 in its last eight games.
"Same problems. Another day where we've got to search for the answers," said Sabres interim coach Ted Nolan. "There's no one going to ride in here and fix it for us. We have to fix it ourselves. We have to look in the mirror at what we can do to try to correct this thing to try to make it better."
Ryan Miller gave up three goals on 31 shots in his NHL-worst 16th setback of the season. He shouldered a bulk of the blame for the loss afterwards.
"It was a better hockey game than we've seen earlier in the year and it's my job to give them a chance to be in the game and I blew that part of it. Not a lot of room for error, so we got to make it count," said Miller, who criticized himself on two of the goals he allowed.
"There's a certain standard I have to play to and that's a one-goal game with the ability for this team to tie it late and get points out of it. That's the difference tonight. I thought the guys were better as the game went on."
These two clubs met for the first time this season on Nov. 27, with the Canadiens winning a 3-1 decision in Buffalo. Miller made 28 saves in the loss, while Price notched 24 saves to earn the win.
Montreal improved to 3-1-2 in the past six meetings overall, but the Sabres have won seven of the last eight at the Bell Centre.
Miller is 25-11-6 with a 2.35 goals against average in his career versus the Habs, while Price is 11-9-7 with a 2.00 GAA lifetime when facing the Sabres.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Maple Leafs look to make it two victories in a row on Saturday night as they hit the road to battle the struggling Ottawa Senators.
The Maple Leafs were 0-3-2 in their previous five games, their longest losing streak of the season, before gutting out a 3-2 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
Trevor Smith redirected a shot by Jake Gardiner into the net with 42 seconds left in overtime and Jonathan Bernier made a career-high 48 saves.
The Maple Leafs allowed 50 shots and had just 24 of their own, marking the 10th straight game they were outshot, but it didn't matter thanks to Bernier.
"I'm pretty tired right now, but it feels amazing," Bernier said. "I thought last game we played pretty good and didn't get the result and tonight we found a way to score that big goal at the end."
Nazem Kadri scored a pair of goals in an emotional return to the lineup. He had missed the previous game to attend the funeral of his grandfather. He came into the contest with two goals and a pair of assists over his previous 10 games.
Kadri skated on the top line with James van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel, who had two assists, due to an oblique strain to Tyler Bozak and responded with his first multi-goal game of the season.
"I wanted to have a big game for him," Kadri said of his grandfather. "Our team played pretty well for some skids. We had some zone time. I still think we can play better but I think tonight was one of our better ones."
The Senators are hoping to play better tonight after losing for the seventh time in 10 games on Thursday. They were bested 3-1 by the Tampa Bay Lightning, who got 33 saves from former Sens goaltender Ben Bishop.
Patrick Wiercioch potted Ottawa's lone goal, while Robin Lehner allowed three goals on 22 shots for the Senators.
Lehner had a simple answer when asked about the difference in the game.
"We couldn't get it past (Bishop) and they could get it past me."
The Maple Leafs have won four straight and seven of their last eight versus the Senators, winning the first of four meetings this season on a 5-4 shootout decision in Toronto on Oct. 5.
Kadri, van Riemsdyk, Mason Raymond and Joffrey Lupul all scored to help the Leafs rally from a 4-2 deficit before both Raymond and Bozak scored in the shootout.
Bernier stopped all 15 shots he faced in regulation and overtime and another two in the shootout after taking over midway through the second period for James Reimer, who allowed four goals on 21 shots.
Kyle Turris had a goal and two assists for the Sens while Cory Conacher, Jared Cowen and Jason Spezza each registered a goal in defeat. Craig Anderson stopped 38-of-42 shots.
Anderson is expected to start tonight and is 6-5-1 with a 2.73 goals against average lifetime versus the Maple Leafs.
Bernier could get the start tonight after his most recent effort. His relief appearance on Oct. 5 marked the first time he had ever faced the Senators.
Reimer had a rare hiccup against Ottawa and is still 8-1-1 against them with a 1.99 GAA and three shutouts.
Toronto has won four of five and eight of its past 11 in Ottawa.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The surging Detroit Red Wings will shoot for their sixth win in seven games when they host the Florida Panthers in Saturday's Atlantic Division battle at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings have won five of six outings and are 6-2-0 since a seven-game losing streak from Nov. 4-19.
Detroit won for the sixth time in eight tries Friday night at New Jersey, posting a 3-1 win over the Devils at Prudential Center. Jimmy Howard only needed to make 10 saves to earn the win against New Jersey, while Tomas Tatar posted a goal and an assist to lead the Detroit offense, which was again without star forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.
Joakim Andersson and Johan Franzen also scored for the Red Wings, who are currently sitting third in the Atlantic with 37 points -- 16 more than seventh-place Florida.
"We've been playing really good lately," said Andersson. "Right now we're finding ways to win and that's what it's all about. You just don't want to lose three or four in a row."
Zetterberg has sat out the last two games with a herniated disc in his back and is expected to miss at least another week of action. Datsyuk will miss a seventh straight game tonight with a concussion, but he could be ready to return when Detroit visits Florida in its next game on Tuesday.
Zetterberg is leading Detroit in scoring this season with 30 points on 11 goals and 19 assists. Datsyuk, meanwhile, is first in goals (12) and tied for second in points (23).
The Panthers will try to win consecutive games for just the second time this season when they take the ice on Saturday.
Florida halted a three-game slide in its last outing, recording a 5-2 decision over Winnipeg in the finale of a five-game homestand on Thursday. The Panthers, who last won back-to-back games on Nov. 16 and 19, went 2-3-0 during the recent stay at BB&T Center.
Dylan Olsen, Erik Gudbranson and Tomas Fleischmann each had a goal and an assist to lead the way in Thursday's triumph over the Jets. Nick Bjugstad and Jimmy Hayes also lit the lamp for the Panthers, while Tim Thomas stopped 29- of-31 shots for the win.
Olsen, a first-round pick (28th overall) by Chicago in 2009, registered the first goal of his NHL career in his 33rd game.
"It's awesome. It's your first NHL goal," Olsen said. "It was obviously exciting, but it's even better to get the win and get off that three-game losing streak. That's what we're excited about, and we've got to keep rolling from here."
Rookie forward Aleksander Barkov left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, but he could be ready to go for tonight's test. The 18-year-old Finn was the second overall pick at last summer's draft and has four goals and six assists in 29 games this season.
Beginning with tonight's test, Florida is playing two straight and six of its next eight games on the road where it has a sub-par 3-9-2 record this season. The Panthers are back in action tomorrow night in Chicago before returning to South Florida for a two-game homestand. The brief home stretch begins with Tuesday's game against Detroit.
The Red Wings have earned at least a point in 18 straight meetings with Florida, going 11-0-2 with five ties since a 4-2 regulation loss in the Motor City on Dec. 1, 1996.
Detroit is 6-1-1 with three ties in 11 all-time matchups with the Panthers at the Joe.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Jets hope to close a six-game road trip on a positive note when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning for Saturday's clash in Central Florida.
The Jets have lost two of their last three games, but have a chance to finish over .500 on the trip with a victory in the finale. Winnipeg fell to 3-2-0 on the swing after Thursday's disappointing effort against the Florida Panthers, who notched an easy 5-2 triumph over the Jets at BB&T Center.
After scoring the first goal of the game on Thursday, Winnipeg allowed Florida to score four unanswered tallies to take control of the contest.
"The game wasn't very good," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "It wasn't really the score; obviously, the score is the area, but for me it was the way we played. We didn't have very many good players, we didn't play very intelligent."
Andrew Ladd and Olli Jokinen scored for Winnipeg, while Ondrej Pavelec turned aside 21-of-26 shots in the loss.
The Jets played without forwards Michael Frolik (flu) and Evander Kane (lower body) on Thursday. Kane has missed the last two games and is doubtful for Saturday, while Frolik also could sit out a second straight game due to his illness.
Both Kane and Frolik are tied for third on Winnipeg this season with seven goals apiece.
Winnipeg fell to 6-7-1 as the road team after Thursday's loss. Following tonight's outing, the club will return home for a three-game stay at MTS Centre. The homestand is set to begin with Tuesday's meeting against the St. Louis Blues.
The Lightning will aim for a second straight win after ending a scoring drought with Thursday's 3-1 victory over visiting Ottawa. Tampa had been shut out in two straight games heading into the recent tilt against the Senators, but Martin St. Louis scored twice to lift the Bolts to the home win at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Ondrej Palat assisted on both of St. Louis' goals and Valtteri Filppula also lit the lamp for the Lightning. Former Senator Ben Bishop backstopped the Tampa Bay triumph with 33 saves.
"We're not winning this game without Bishop," St. Louis said of his netminder.
It was the eighth win in the last nine home games for Tampa, which is 11-3-0 as the host this season compared to a 6-7-1 record on the road.
The Lightning are dealing with a rash of injuries at the moment and defensemen Victor Hedman and Keith Aulie are the latest to join the list. Hedman suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's loss and expects to miss tonight, while Aulie is out indefinitely after breaking his hand against the Senators.
Of course, Tampa is still playing without star centerman Steven Stamkos, who is out indefinitely with a broken right tibia. Fellow forward Ryan Malone also is expected to miss the next 3-to-4 weeks with a broken ankle.
Winnipeg will try to win its fourth straight game in this series tonight and the Jets also have claimed six of the past nine encounters against the Bolts. However, the Lightning have taken nine of the past 11 meetings in Central Florida.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Nashville Predators will try to avoid a fifth consecutive loss when they visit the Washington Capitals for Saturday's battle at the Verizon Center.
The Predators have matched a season-worst losing streak with their current 0-3-1 funk, tying the club's 0-4-0 skid from Nov. 8-15. Another setback on Saturday would give Nashville its worst losing streak since dropping eight straight from April 4-19 of last season.
Nashville's last two losses came in regulation and Barry Trotz's club was handed a 5-2 defeat by visiting Carolina on Thursday. Jeff Skinner scored his first career hat trick to lift the Hurricanes to the lopsided win at Bridgestone Arena.
The Preds led the contest 2-1 in the early stages of the second period, but couldn't finish off Carolina. The Hurricanes scored four unanswered goals to end the game, including three in under 13 minutes in the second period after the Predators had taken the 2-1 lead with two goals in the first 2:41 of the frame.
"Their top guys were good tonight, and we didn't have a match for them," Trotz said. "Some of our top guys weren't on today. I think our core wasn't as strong."
Mike Fisher and Viktor Stalberg scored for the Predators. Marek Mazanec allowed four goals on 13 shots in the first two periods and Carter Hutton made nine saves in the third.
Nashville played its third straight game without star defenseman Shea Weber, who has been out with an eye injury since getting hit with a puck on Nov. 28. Weber returned to practice on Friday and is making the trip to D.C. He is expected to be a game-time decision tonight.
The Predators went winless during their recent four-game homestand, but they can extend a three-game road winning streak on Saturday. Nashville, which will complete a brief two-game swing with Tuesday's test against the New York Rangers, is 7-7-1 on the road this season.
Washington will try to get back on track Saturday after having a two-game winning streak halted with Tuesday's 4-1 loss against the Hurricanes. Skinner had two goals and an assist in the win for Carolina.
Mike Green scored the lone goal for the Capitals, who lost for the fifth time in seven games. It was the first goal of the season for Green, a defenseman who once scored 31 goals for Washington during the 2008-09 campaign.
"You know as a smaller subplot it's obviously good for him," Capitals coach Adam Oates said of Green's goal. "It's obviously been something that we've talked about a lot. Now the zero is gone, so hopefully it leads to more."
Braden Holtby turned aside 19-of-23 shots over two periods before being pulled in favor of Philipp Grubauer, who made nine saves in the third frame. Neither Holtby nor Grubauer has ever faced the Predators.
The Caps played their third straight game without forward Brooks Laich, who is dealing with a groin injury at the moment. He is expected to sit out a fourth consecutive tilt on Saturday.
Washington is playing on back-to-back days this weekend and will visit the Rangers on Sunday.
The Capitals have taken six of the past seven meetings with the Predators, although four of Washington's victories during that span have come after regulation.
Nashville is 2-4-2 in its eight all-time trips to D.C.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Rangers hope to begin their longest home stretch of the season on a positive note when they welcome the struggling New Jersey Devils for Saturday's Metropolitan Division battle at Madison Square Garden.
The Blueshirts began the 2013-14 season on a nine-game road trip from Oct. 3-26 while the Garden was undergoing major renovations. New York went 3-6-0 on that swing, but hopes to do much better during this homestand of the same length. However, the Rangers are just 5-6-0 as the host this season compared to a 10-8-0 mark on the road.
This homestand will run through the Christmas break, as the Rangers aren't scheduled to play another road game until they visit Washington on Dec. 27.
The Devils have won both meetings against the Rangers this season, notching a 4-0 home win on Oct. 19 before recording a 3-2 regulation decision at MSG on Nov. 12. New York had won four in a row on home ice in this series before last month's loss to the Devils.
With 30 points, the Rangers are tied with Washington for third place in the Metro Division, while the Devils are two points behind in a tie with Philadelphia.
New York enters Saturday having won two of its last three games and the club is coming off Thursday's 3-1 win in Buffalo. Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves to help anchor the victory at First Niagara Center.
The Rangers No. 1 goalie almost turned in a shutout on Thursday, but a stickhandling miscue led to a late goal for the Sabres. Lundqvist, after agreeing to a seven-year contract extension on Wednesday, was working on his third shutout of the season when his failed clear led to a Tyler Ennis goal with 2:06 remaining in the third period.
Rick Nash, Brad Richards and Mats Zuccarello scored for the Rangers.
"There wasn't a lot of room," said Vigneault. "They play a really solid defensive game and we made them pay in the first period with a controlled breakout."
The Rangers, who will host Washington tomorrow evening, have lost four of their last five home games.
New Jersey will try to halt a three-game slide when it kicks off a three-game road trip on Saturday. The Devils were in action Friday night against visiting Detroit and dropped a 3-1 decision to lose for the sixth time in eight outings.
The Devils only managed to send 11 shots on net in last night's loss against the Red Wings and Jimmy Howard stopped 10 of them to hold New Jersey to one goal. It was the lowest shot total of the season for the Devils.
Andy Greene scored the only goal of the game for New Jersey, while Cory Schneider allowed all three goals on 21 shots.
"We did some good things moving the puck but we just couldn't get any shots through on net," said Schneider. "If we could have got that second one it would have been big, but they played tough."
Martin Brodeur will get the start in net for the Devils on Saturday. The future Hall of Famer is 48-30-5 with 15 ties and a superb 2.13 goals against average in 98 career games against the Rangers.
Lundqvist also has terrific career numbers against the Devils, going 28-14-5 with a 1.84 GAA in 47 lifetime tilts in this series.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Anaheim Ducks will try to grab sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division on Saturday, when they visit the St. Louis Blues for a Western Conference showdown at Scottrade Center.
Anaheim picked up a shootout win Friday evening in Chicago, halting a two-game skid with the 3-2 decision at United Center. The win also moved the Ducks into a tie with San Jose for first place in the Pacific Division at 43 points apiece. The Sharks, who are idle on Saturday, lost a regulation decision at Carolina on Friday.
Friday's victory in the Windy City was just the second win in the last five trips to the ice for the Ducks. However, Anaheim has registered at least a point in four straight games (2-0-2) heading into Saturday's clash with the Blues.
The Ducks have won five of the last eight meetings against the Blues, but St. Louis ended a three-game series' skid with a 2-1 home overtime win on March 16 of last season.
The Blues are 6-0-1 in the last seven encounters between these clubs in the Gateway City.
Kyle Palmieri scored the winner in the shootout phase for the Ducks on Friday. In the second round, Palmieri faked to the backhand and lifted it over Antti Raanta. Patrick Kane then had his backhand stopped by Jonas Hiller to end the game and give Anaheim its fifth straight win over the Blackhawks.
"It was a little rough the past couple of shootouts so this is nice to get the extra point," said Hiller. "I got beat on the first one, but then was able to stop the next two and it feels good to help the team out."
Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and an assist while Corey Perry also scored for the Ducks. Hiller made 23 stops through regulation and overtime.
Anaheim is completing a brief two-game road trip tonight. The Ducks are 9-7-3 as the visiting club in 2013-14 compared to a stellar 10-0-2 mark on home ice. Anaheim is set to open a three-game homestand when it welcomes the New York Islanders to the Honda Center on Monday.
The Blues ended a two-game slide in their last trip to the ice, as they slammed the visiting Islanders by a 5-1 score on Thursday. St. Louis defenseman Jay Bouwmeester had a goal and an assist to help lead the way in the rout.
It was the fifth straight home win for the Blues, who are 12-1-2 at Scottrade Center this season. After Saturday's test, St. Louis will play three of its next four games on the road, beginning with Tuesday's tilt at Winnipeg.
Derek Roy, David Backes, Magnus Paajarvi and Brenden Morrow also scored for the Blues on Thursday while T.J. Oshie and Kevin Shattenkirk both added a pair of assists. Jaroslav Halak made 22 saves for the win.
St. Louis recorded three goals on six opportunities with the man advantage on Thursday after going a combined 1-for-10 on the power play in its previous two outings.
"We were very effective on the power play," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We moved the puck, found shooting lanes. I thought all three goals, there was no chance for the goalie on any of the goals."
St. Louis has won six of its last eight games and is currently sitting second in the Central Division standings with 41 points.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Edmonton Oilers will try to continue their recent surge on Saturday when they welcome the Calgary Flames to Rexall Place for another edition of the Battle of Alberta.
The Oilers won for the sixth time in nine games in their last trip to the ice, setting a season-high in goals with the lopsided victory over visiting Colorado. Taylor Hall had a hat trick and added an assist to lead the way in Edmonton's 8-2 thrashing of the Avalanche on Thursday.
It was the fourth career hat trick for Hall, who now has 10 goals on the season.
Jordan Eberle, Mark Arcobello, David Perron and Ales Hemsky each registered a goal and an assist for the Oilers, while Devan Dubnyk posted 33 saves in the win.
Perron's goal was his team-leading 12th of the 2013-14 campaign. He had 10 goals in 48 games last season.
"He's turned into a great leader in our dressing room," Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins said of Perron. "He's one of those guys I can play anywhere."
Edmonton is continuing a five-game homestand tonight after splitting the first two games of the residency. The Oilers are just 4-9-0 at Rexall Place this season, but have won three of their last five home games.
The Oilers also have won three of four and five of the last seven meetings against Calgary. Edmonton notched a 4-2 road win against the Flames on Nov. 16. Dubnyk stopped 33-of-35 shots in that triumph and is 5-4-1 with a 2.52 goals against average in 11 career tilts against Calgary.
Calgary has taken five of seven and eight of the last 11 encounters at Rexall Place.
Edmonton is currently last in the Pacific Division with 22 points, but is only two points behind the Flames for sixth place.
The Flames will try to rebound from a loss tonight after having their second two-game win streak of the season snapped in Friday's 3-2 regulation setback against visiting Colorado. Maxime Talbot tallied a goal and an assist to lead the Avalanche past the Flames.
Calgary grabbed a 1-0 lead against the Avs just over seven minutes into Friday's game, but the Flames didn't score again until 1:55 left in the third period, when Matt Stajan tallied to cut the deficit to 3-2. Calgary was unable to notch the equalizer with goaltender Karri Ramo pulled for the extra attacker.
Kris Russell had a goal and an assist for the Flames, who were aiming for their first three-game winning streak since April 17-21 of last season. Ramo allowed all three goals on 25 shots.
"It's hockey. Mistakes cost goals. My overall game was all right, but those mistakes are what counts and I have to avoid those," said Ramo.
After Saturday's game, the Flames will play their next two games on home ice. Calgary is 5-8-1 on the road this season and 5-6-3 as the host.
New York Islanders (8-16-5) at Los Angeles Kings (18-7-4), 10:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The free-falling New York Islanders will try to avoid a ninth straight loss when they visit the Los Angeles Kings for Saturday's battle at the Staples Center.
New York currently is suffering through an 0-6-2 slide and hasn't won since recording a home win on Nov. 16 against Detroit. The Islanders, who are sitting last in the Metropolitan Division with 21 points, have managed just two wins and six total points over the last 15 games (2-11-2).
The Isles did not get off to a promising start on a five-game road trip, losing the opener of the swing by a 5-1 score Thursday in St. Louis. New York tied the score at 1-1 early in the second period before allowing four unanswered goals to the Blues.
Andrew MacDonald tallied the lone goal for the Islanders, who are mired in their longest losing streak since a club-record 14-game slide (0-11-3) from Oct. 23-Nov. 24, 2010.
Anders Nilsson allowed all five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's loss.
New York has scored a total of five goals over its last four outings and has only managed to record more than two scores in a game once during its current slide. The Isles tallied three times in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 22.
"We're a club right now that's not scoring," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "We had chances in the first, thought we dictated the play against a really good hockey team. Second period, all of a sudden, bang, bang, bang, and we can't respond.
"Again, we're not a team that's scoring many goals right now."
Kevin Poulin expects to get the start for New York on Saturday. His only career outing against the Kings came earlier this season when L.A. notched a 3-2 win at Nassau Coliseum on Nov. 14. That victory was the seventh for the Kings in their last nine meetings against the Islanders.
New York has lost three straight and five of its past seven games at the Staples Center.
The Kings enter Saturday's battle having won two straight to begin this month after going 1-1-3 in their final five games of November. L.A. recorded a 3-2 regulation win against visiting St. Louis on Monday and won by the same score the following night in a shootout victory at Anaheim.
Dwight King scored in the ninth round of the shootout to lead the Kings to the 3-2 win over the rival Ducks. The first 16 skaters failed to find the back of the net in the shootout before King buried a wrister past Jonas Hiller for the lead.
"Basically, a lot of guys shot glove, some guys hit iron," said King. "My look when I was going down was to try to surprise him with a quick shot."
Martin Jones, playing in his first NHL game, then stopped Mathieu Perreault's weak offering for the win.
Dustin Brown and Jeff Carter scored in regulation, while Jones made 26 stops for the Kings.
Ben Scrivens expects to start in net for the Kings on Saturday. He is 1-1-0 with a 4.02 goals against average in two career games against the Islanders.
After tonight's home test, the Kings will play their next four games on the road. L.A. has similar records at home and on the road this season, going 9-4-2 at the Staples Center and 9-3-2 everywhere else.

Religion is an adherence to codified beliefs. Atheism is a lack of belief in a god(s). There is no belief, hence, there is no religion.
Keep telling yourself Atheism is not that you believe there is no god(s). Atheism is that you have no belief in god(s), keep buying the books and start biulding your atheist meeting buildings. History will judge you otherwise. If you want to classify yourself by your belief, you are religious.
Besides, Buddhism is a dharmic, non-theistic religion, a philosophy, and a system of psychology.(wikipedia)
So therefor; You are religious. Good job conforming. You are so differant, yet exactly the same.

Big Brother Gossip Show #17: BBUK's Benedict Garrett
One of the most intriguing, and controversial, Big Brother contestants I have ever seen is Benedict Garrett from this year's UK edition. A former educator turned porn star, Benedict "shocked" a number of fellow housemates and a portion of the public with his open discussions on masturbation. With all of the big personalities given the boot in the early weeks (sound familiar?), Garrett was the third evictee of the season. Big Brother's loss is our gain, though, as he was open to any question perused by the lovely Ash or myself.
After our time with Benedict was concluded, our very own Mike joined us to talk about the various rumors that have been floating around the US edition of Big Brother, which commences on July 12. We talk about the "mentors" rumors, BB6/7 Janelle's strange tweets, and today's unveiling of the house.
This was quite the episode, and should be entertaining to fans of both the UK and US editions of the show.
Once again, this is also a great time to remind everybody that due to a change in providers you will have to resubscribe to continue to automatically receive each episode. If you listen via Stitcher(http://www.stitcher.com/listen.php?fid=16875) or Scott's Android/iPhone app for all of his podcasts (The Ledge), no changes are necessary. Since Apple doesn't allow you to delete a podcast, though, the old version is technically still in the iTunes store. That is a dead link, so you now have to subscribe to The Big Brother Gossip Show (mp3) at this link -http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/big-brother-gossip-mp3/id502746488 . If you don't want to go the iTunes route, you can also directly subscribe to the new show's feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/bigbrothergossip, or directly download it by clicking
I know this is confusing, but at least these changes are happening now instead of in the middle of next season! Special thanks to Mike, Ash and especially Benedict for their help on this episode, and please let me know what you think of this special broadcast!

Beautiful Card
I spent a lot of time trying to find a website that had what I was looking for in wedding stationary, but once I found magnetstreet.com, I was hooked! I love the fact that everything is customizable, and they turned out exactly like I wanted! Thank you MagnetStreet!!!
I love, love, love Magnet Street!
I ordered my save the date magnets photo booth style from Magnet Street in February and they were perfect. So when it came time to order the invitations I trusted them to take care of them. Well I love them! The colors were beautiful, our picture on the invites came out great and the quality is expensive looking! I could not be happier!
Wedding Invites
I got exactly what I wanted and more! First, I want to mention I over paid $23.00 for a certain shipping and an actual person called me and they put that credit back on my card. Most companies would pocket the money but not MagnetStreet. Great customer service. The color, Plum, matched my colors of my wedding which makes a happy Bride! The quality of the paper was not flimsy, but very strong. My picture of my fiancé and I came out so clear!!! My invitations came in a cute box I can reuse. I am very happy and proud to send these out to my friends and family.
Beautiful Invitation
Our invitations were amazing! We changed the colors entirely to match our wedding colors. We ordered the items on Ocyober 1st and they arrived to our home on October 9th. Couldn't be happier with our decision to order from magnetstreet.com.
Love them!
Loved how easy it was to build this invitation and everyone thinks it's beautiful! Price was very reasonable.

Late Goal Lifts Lander over Men's Soccer 1-0
October 27, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Landers Zach Acree (Columbia, SC) was the only one able to find the back of the net putting in the game-winner with just 3:06 remaining as the Bearcats pulled out a 1-0 victory over Pfeiffer in non-conference mens soccer action on Wednesday afternoon. The win marks the seventh-straight for Lander improving to 11-5 overall while the Falcons drop to 4-7-3.
A quick flick down the middle from Craig Hughes (Sunderland, ENGLAND) set up Acree for the matchs only strike. Acrees blast snuck in on the right post from the left side of the pitch. Lander held a commanding 18-5 advantage on shots, slightly leading in shots on goal 4-1.
Besides Acree and Hughes, Fred Parker (Baton Rouge, LA) and Andy Ludewig (Washingtonville, NY) each had a shot on cage. Ethan Sacco (Concord, NC) had the lone shot on goal for the Falcons. Pfeiffer had early chances, but ended up with four offside calls in the match.
Next up for the Falcons will be the final regular season contest at St. Andrews on Saturday. Pfeiffer, looking to secure the #5 seed in next weeks tournament, will battle the Knights, looking to book their ticket into the postseason, at 3:00 p.m.

Research Summary
We constructed a fusion molecule (Icon) composed of factor VII, the
natural ligand for Tissue Factor (TF), conjugated to the Fc domain of
an IgG1 immunoglobulin. The factor VII domain binds with high affinity
and specificity to TF, which is expressed selectively on the luminal
surface of pathological angiogenic blood vessels, and the Fc domain
activates an immune response that destroys the blood vessels. The Icon
can be delivered as a protein, or by an adenoviral or nanoparticle
vector carrying the Icon cDNA. The Icon showed efficacy and safety in
mouse models of human cancer, and in mouse and pig models of macular
degeneration, and is being prepared for a clinical trial. We described
a novel mechanism of gene regulation, involving a tumor-suppressor
protein (TSP) and a noncoding retroelement RNA (ncRNA). The TSP
contains a DNA-binding domain that represses gene transcription, and
RNA-binding domains (RBD) that bind a ncRNA, releasing the TSP and
activating transcription. This mechanism is involved in embryogenesis,
tumorigenesis, and steroidogenesis.
Extensive Research Description
The odd couple: A repressor protein and a retroelement RNA.
We described a novel mechanism for reversible regulation of gene transcription involving PSF, a conserved mammalian tumor-suppressor protein, and mVL30 RNA, a mouse noncoding retroelement RNA (1-4). PSF contains a DNA-binding domain (DBD) that binds to certain genes and represses transcription, and also contains RNA-binding domains (RBD) that bind mVL30 RNA, forming a complex that releases PSF from a gene and reverses repression. This regulatory mechanism has a role in oncogenesis and steroidogenesis, and probably in regulating cell proliferation during development. We isolated human retroelement RNAs that have a similar function as mVL30 RNA, which is not present in human cells. PSF belongs to a family of putative tumor-suppressor proteins containing RBD and DBD, and we are testing whether other members of this family have a similar function as PSF in regulating gene transcription. Other experiments include a molecular analysis of the protein-RNA regulatory mechanism and its normal and pathological roles.
Targeting pathological blood vessels for immunotherapy of cancer and macular degeneration.
We constructed a molecule called an Icon that activates a cytolytic immune response against cells expressing the transmembrane receptor tissue factor (TF). TF is expressed on endothelial cells lining the luminal surface of pathological blood vessels in tumors. The model for the Icon molecule is a Camelid IgG1 antibody composed of two heavy chains without associated light chains, each chain containing a VH targeting domain conjugated to the Fc effector domain. The Icon is similarly composed of two chains, each chain containing fVII, the natural ligand for TF as the targeting domain conjugated to an Fc domain. The Icon binds to TF with stronger affinity and specificity than can be achieved with an anti-TF antibody. Because the Icon is synthesized by recombinant DNA technology, the fVII and Fc domains can be derived from the species of choice. Pre-clinical immunotherapy tests were done by encoding the Icon in an adenoviral vector, which was injected into a tumor in a mouse model of human metastatic cancer (1-3). The infected tumor cells synthesized and secreted the icon into the systemic circulation, and the blood-borne Icon molecules bound to TF, activating an immune response that destroyed the pathological blood vessels without harming normal vessels. A clinical trial of the protocol is being arranged for cancer patients. Similar results were obtained with a mouse model of macular degeneration (4). We are testing a nanoparticle vector as an alternative to an adenoviral vector for delivering the Icon gene

Injured Bulls fullback Johan Roets may be lost to South African rugby entirely if he does not earn a call-up from Springbok coach Jake White this year.
Roets, arguably the form fullback in the country before a knee injury forced him out of action two weeks ago, has been knocking on the door of Springbok selection for some time, but as yet has not been let in.
But he may yet get a chance to display his talents at Test level, and quite possibly at the 2007 Rugby World Cup – but not in the green and gold of South Africa, but for the green of Ireland.
His wife, Bronwyn – whom he married in December last year – has an Irish passport and he could qualify to play for them before next year's World Cup and has already been approached to go and play there at the end of this season. It is something the in-form No 15 has been contemplating for some time and he is apparently giving it serious thought.
Whether he is in White's plans remains to be seen, but a place in the Bok squad could be further hampered by having to undergo an operation on his injured knee in the next few weeks.
While the seriousness of the injury does not require immediate action, the Bulls are hoping that Jaco van der Westhuyzen remains injury free so they do not have to call on Roets in the remaining games in the Vodacom Super 14.
White would be well-advised to snare the Bulls man, as he is certainly among the best in his position in South Africa. The national coach has Percy Montgomery as his first-choice, while van der Westhuyzen is an able understudy. However, if injury or a serious drop in form is experienced by either, Roets would certainly be more than capable of making the transition to the top level.
Other choices open to White – looking at the players in SA's Super 14 franchises – include young Sharks prodigy JP Pietersen, Stormers speedster Joe Pietersen, Cheetahs' Bevin Fortuin and Conrad Jantjes, although the latter has been played out of position for much of the competition.

Gallery: SPURSE & the BMW Guggenheim Lab Explore NY's Most Astonishing ...
At the start of our adventure, Inhabitat and several other attendees gathered at the LAB in the East Village, and after two subway rides and a quick trip on the path train to New Jersey, we finally arrived at our destination. Standing on the shore of the Hackensack, we were greeted by Riverkeepers' Captain Bill Sheehan and Hugh Carola and we were then boarded onto a set of pontoon boats to embark on the second part of our journey.
Officially referred to as the New Jersey Meadowlands District, this 32-square-mile area is governed not by the sate of New Jersey, but instead by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission. As we trolled down the river we learned the history behind this urban waterway, its harrowing destruction and its inspiring rebirth. Our experience on Friday left us with at lot to consider, and now that we've been able to reflect on our expedition, we can't help but wonder: Could this small pocket of earth be a micro-model with solutions for repairing our planet for the future?
History of the Hackensack and the Meadowlands
"If you look at how the natural landscape of America has been altered and changed since colonial times, you'll agree that it's a near-miracle that any habitats remain in the Metro area. But if you take the time to explore places like the real Meadowlands, Jamaica Bay, the Rockaways or the head of Long Island Sound you will see that nature not only survives – it thrives."
- Hugh Carola Haskensack Riverkeeper
Starting in the 1600s when European settlers first gave the river a name – followed by logging, then ditching, diking and draining – the Meadowlands that once stretched over 32 square miles encompassing nearly 25,000 acres of wetlands and waterways, was reduced to only a third of its former size. By the late 19th century the Industrial Revolution was in full swing and factories from Hackensack to Newark bay were spewing untold gallons of untreated waste into the river, while raw sewage and refuse of all kinds were being dumped in and around the waterways.
This toxic combination left hotspots of chromium, PCBs, mercury and other contaminants throughout the river's ecosystem. The invasive and unnatural change in the river's chemistry wiped out almost all of the area's plant and animal life, and by the 1940s the common reed – Phragmites communis – was one of the only plant species that remained. It was around this time people also started using the area as a regional garbage dump. Garbage trucks from scores of municipalities, including the Erie Railroad hopper cars, were filled with trash and unloaded onto the wetlands. We can presently count 34 historic dump sites. For some sites, fires were known to spontaneously combust, while others burned underground for years.
