Trying to get inside the heads of those that determine who gets to enter an athletic hall of fame is an impossible task, no matter the sport. The mechanics of every hall of fame are distinct and the appointments often controversial. The Hockey Hall of Fame ("HHOF") is no exception. And likely ripe for a proper dissection, but that is clearly beyond the scope of this blog. But you can pay us to write it for you.
That said, when there's what seems to be an apparent omission (and the spurned one is a Canuck hero), you can bet we will jump on our soap box. So listen up…
We're going to approach this in two instalments so that you, valued reader, can more easily digest and reflect. As it relates to Pavel Bure, let's start with a summary of his career and how his accomplishments may rank.
We'll start with his tangible accomplishments:
Now let us consider the less tangible considerations – including the supposed negative ones.
So CC, that's great. We're exhausted reading it, but what does it all mean? Is Pavel HHOF worthy? Well, since there are no published guidelines and since the HHOF won't comment on those they won't enshrine, we've got to read between the lines. We can compare Pavel's accomplishments to those that are in and those that are out and see what gives… Stay tuned for Part 2 and the predictable, but nonetheless, entertaining conclusion.Tags: Hockey Hall of Fame, Pavel Bure, Vancouver Canucks

But Dr. Sherman Silber of the Infertility Center of St. Louis said that higher estrogen levels in obese men play only a minor role in sperm levels.
"We cannot expect to correct male infertility with a low fat diet, but of course, Americans are obese, and any weight reduction and fat reduction program would be welcome for health in general," he said. Silber said that the shape and size of sperm -- known as sperm morphology -- are largely determined by genetics.
Another doctor, Jamie Grifo of the NYU Fertility Center, argued that sperm count also does not necessarily affect a woman's ability to become pregnant, so the study conclusions have little relevance to fertility.
Grifo said patients with abnormal sperm morphology can "usually always get pregnant using intrauterine insemination [IUI] if you take the time." IUI is the placement of sperm directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization. "The outcome is not changed by sperm count."
Attaman added that if future studies can replicate these findings, they can have a substantial impact on overall health.
"Although these findings need to be reproduced, adapting these nutritional modifications may not only be beneficial for reproductive health but for global general health as well," she said.

G Wiz Museum, Sarasota
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
Located right next to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Centre, GWIZ is a really neat place to take your kids. They have a lot of hands-on things for them to do, and there's a pretty interesting eco-zone exhibit about local wildlife and preservation. The staff is also really, really dedicated and hard-working. They are used to screaming children, also.
When I was working at a summer camp in Sarasota, we took the kids here. They went bananas! It was the most fun they had probably all summer.
WIZ is a hands on science museum that looks like it will be a blast. They strive to make science relevant, technology understandable, and learning an interactive adventure for people of all ages.
And it is a great way to get out of the Florida heat.
Exhibit Gallery Hours
Monday – Friday 10 am - 5 pm
Saturday 10 am - 6 pm
Sunday 12 pm - 6 pm
9 am - 5 pm
Admission Prices
Adults 19 and up $9
Seniors 65 and over $8
Children 3 to 18 $6
We spent about 3 hours here in May 2007, and could have spent a few more easily. This museum is full of hands-on exhibits for kids (from simple building blocks for the younger kids to magnetic experiments and math puzzles for the oldest), plus visiting exhibits, and even a Russian space toilet. There is also a nice large playground right outside (open even after the museum closes) and walking paths which we didn't have a chance to explore. The local visitor center had discount coupons for admission.

Slew of programmes to be conducted on the occasion of Buddha Jayanti
It is likely to be an exciting trip for the students of schools and colleges coming from different parts of West Godavari district for participation in the Buddha Jayanti celebrations scheduled to take place on May 14 at the Buddha Park that came up on the Gajjalavari Chervu in I-Town.
The Buddhist Charitable Trust has proposed to conduct a slew of events for students with a focus on the life and teachings of Buddha which include essay-writing, elocution and painting. The Eluru Municipal Corporation and the Tourism Development Corporation are making arrangements jointly for the programme. Collector Siddharth Jain will distribute prizes and certificates to the winners of the events in the evening. Cultural programmes with Buddha's life as the central theme will be organised as part of the celebrations.
According to municipal Commissioner K.S. Sadana, it's like an infotainment for children.
The tank with a history dating back to the period of East Chalukyas has turned into a learning centre after developing it as Buddha Park and a place of entertainment as well. The park that came up in the midst of the water body also has a boating facility for visitors who can cruise around. The park with an imposing 72ft-high statue of Buddha in Abhaya posture in the heart of the tank has become a major landmark of the city after its inauguration by former Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy sometime ago. The pedestal was built to support a gigantic statue in such a manner that it could be used as a gallery to showcase a range of murals and sculptures about the life and the teachings of Buddha and conference hall. A 20-ft pathway leading to the pedestal-cum-exhibition hall from the entrance of the park with a stair case right through the pond waters is one of the attractions for the visitors.
Ms. Sadana said it was decided to sensitise the young generation on the teachings of Buddha by making use of the occasion of the Buddha Jayanti and thereby promote peace in the society.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/18/14
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami's defense had wished it could generate more turnovers, and it got four early Christmas gifts from Buffalo's offense on Sunday leading to a 24-10 victory. The Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention by virtue of the Bengals' victory over the Steelers, but the possibility of an 8-8 finish remains alive. The Dolphins had their first three-takeaway game of the season and converted them into 17 points, two Ryan Tannehill touchdowns passe to Reggie Bush, one of 17 yards and another of 12 yards, and a 45-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Bush also had a 2-yard touchdown run. Bush finished with 42 yards receiving on four catches. The last time he had two touchdown catches Dec. 13, 2009 for New Orleans in a game at Atlanta. He also rushed for 65 yards in 19 carries. Tannehill had 130 yards passing, completing 13 of 25 attempts and rushed for 45 yards on four carries. Buffalo's only touchdown was a 2-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Brad Smith. Ria...

Rothorpe was born on 19 July 2006, when I typed in my email name only to see it shockingly capitalised—but I quite like it now. I'm a nocturnal retired EFL teacher from London (100th of the 50th of the 20th), living in Esposende, Portugal. In 2003, laryngeal cancer killed my voice, causing Harpomarxism.
Having corrected the English of students of many nationalities and handwritings, copyediting is a doddle/aesthetic imperative/primal urge. Many of my edits are difficult to spot in "diffs" as they involve inconspicuous punctuation changes, closing spaces before refs, etc., though I often feel the need to improve a lead (or "lede", from the Greek ληδη). I've also rescued a few good paragraphs discarded in the process of reverting vandalism; it's quite easy to paste from "diffs".
Articles I started: Language: Back-chaining, List of artworks known in English by a foreign title; Music: Ace Cannon, Adam Holzman (keyboardist), Bernard van Dieren, Betty Humby Beecham, Carl Perkins (pianist), Cecil Gray (composer), Charlie Parker's Bird Symbols and Bird Is Free, Denis Colin, Dolceola, Dominique Gaumont, Earl-Jean, Ebony Concerto (Stravinsky), Edward Greenfield, Géraldine Laurent, Jay Berliner, Josh MacRae, Lou Johnson, Martin Lovett, Médéric Collignon, Miles Davis Live in Germany, New Morning (club), Piltdown Men, Robert Wyatt's Mid-Eighties, Steve Hunter, String-A-Longs, Terry Stafford; Record labels: Dimension, Herald, Palette, Pilz,[1] Spotlite, Warwick; List of HMV POP artists; Television: BBC-3 (TV series), Gerald Cross, Mezzo TV, Not So Much a Programme More a Way of Life, Ted Lune, Timothy Birdsall; Miscellaneous: Alan Odle, Figueira (Faro), The Last and the First.
Notes on formatting[edit]
Wikipedia is mostly a static, text medium, so its model should be print, not television or even other websites. Thus, I
- close unsightly spaces, as, for example, on each side of a stroke/slash/solidus. It's thin and slanted so as to make spaces unnecessary—a space saver, not a space creator, as, for example, between the "Songs"/"On a Record". This ugly, amateurish-looking spacing ( / ) mirrors advertising, TV, website headings, etc., where commas may be felt to be insufficiently eye-catching. The spaced slash in prose is traditionally used only to indicate line breaks when quoting the non-prose of poems and songs. Here, people sometimes use spaces in prose cases that involve items of more than one word on either side of the slash, but these can be separated with a comma, conjunction, or ampersand (&). Nor should there be spaces around an em dash (a spaced em dash is used, for example in tests, to indicate that there is a — missing), or unquoted ellipsis, or en dash in the case of years (1234–1432); spaces are used for clarity between days (1 January 1234 – 31 December 2345). Nor should there be spaces when the hyphen - thus - is being used as a dash – though it really shouldn't be: an en dash—or em—cuts more of a dash.
- remove bracket clashes in running prose (this kind of thing:) (ugh!), which would never be acceptable in a print publication (people are used to seeing them in Wikipedia lists), and replace them, usually with a semicolon (like this; that's better: see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Brackets and parentheses). (And see PAIS Alliance for a good example of how to format a complex lead.)
- deplore the foolish practice of changing date formats between so-called American and British. Both styles are correct in both varieties of English (the Fourth of July, for example) and I never encountered this false distinction in pre-Wikipedian times (though omitting the article in speech—'July fifth'—is distinctly American). Similarly, there is no point in fastidiously standardising the date format throughout an article: it is not a matter of spelling. (But when the year is mentioned I do prefer to put the day first: it's more logical and avoids commas—and logical dates go with logical quotes.) A real, and very common, mistake, though, is attempting to balance 'from' with a dash: 'from 1950–2010' means from that period to another, unstated time, but usually the intended meaning is 'from 1950 to 2010'.
- remove Incorrect or Unnecessary Capital Letters like These. Proper capitalisation is important to distinguish the general from the particular: the Earth goes round the Sun, and if there's too much sun the earth dries out and develops cracks. Fans of different types of music often mistakenly capitalise them, from jazz to jungle, probably because of the names of music charts ("#51 Country", etc.). There are those who capitalise the names of currencies, probably because many of them sound like proper nouns: franc, for example, or mark (though those two have now vacated the scene—almost—in favour of the equally capitalised-sounding euro). Some people seem to capitalise words just because they've never seen or heard them before. Sometimes there are contentious examples: I'm happy to have been on the winning side in the case of trojan moons and asteroids. (Single and singly hyphenated letters are capitalised, however: an X, T-shirt, B-side.) Useful: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Composition titles.
And then there is the word the in running prose (see WP:THECAPS). People wanted to write "The Beatles" with a capital "T" all the time because "'The' is part of the name". There was a vote, and uncapitalised "the" beat capitalised, but only by 2–1.[2] A capital T is necessary when referring to an article, as in "See The Beatles", but what I think was happening is that people were confusing names with titles, e.g. The Great Gatsby. Titles have the capital, names don't: the Troubles. It could also be a matter of being influenced by the look of wikilinks: if the second word in the important-looking blue bit has a capital, so should the first. No.
Neither is it a matter of British and American. Here's the Chicago Manual of Style: "When the name of a band requires the definite article, lowercase it in running text." [1]
Wikilinks certainly cause people to be careless about punctuation following them, leaving out commas after parentheses, for example, especially after locations of locations, as for example in "A hotel in Mecca, Saudi Arabia collapses". Two more things I do: insert compound-attributive-adjective-clarifying hyphens, and normalise meaningless hard-on-the-eye magazine-style chunks of italics.
Wikipedia's most abused words[edit]
- however—where it is too strong (an adverb, not a conjunction) and needs changing to but, though or whereas. The misuse is usually advertised by the lack of a comma after it: "She likes cats, however she doesn't like dogs" instead of "but she doesn't like dogs". (When this "however" is the right word beginning a sentence, a comma will help distinguish it from "However many/often/hard...". Compare "however, it was done" with "however it was done...", the latter meaning "in whatever way it was done").
- would, especially in music articles, as narrative-style padding instead of the simple past tense: "In June they would release their 94th album".
- likely used as an adverb, as in "some of these stars likely have Earth-like planets", an American colloquialism. True, there aren't too many synonyms of "probably", but, used formally, "likely" is an adjective, a synonym of "probable" ("a likely story") though with wider usage ("they are likely to have planets") and this is its only use in British English and formal American. (The man who finds the planets, the US astronomer Mike Brown, grades these terms with weird precision, so that "are likely to be" is more probable than "are probably".)
- as of, a placeholder expression that should be changed or removed when information is updated (as of March 2014 = in March 2014; as of today = today).
- multiple, the latest substitute for many, and particularly clunky.
- better known as—then put it first!
Webstr's unfinisht legacy[edit]
I try not to worry too much about American spelling in a British context and vice versa. The trouble with Noah (the man with the US dictionry, sorry, U.S. dictionerry) is he didn't go far enough, and American spelling remains just as daft as British. (And punctuation just daft.)
The Pedia and the Pendium[edit]
Citizendium is a wiki that aspires to be a reliable alternative to Wikipedia. It may achieve this goal before the end of the century but it is still quite small. It does however have my complete set of articles on English spelling and pronunciation, using the actual spelling instead of the International Phonetic Alphabet, and including a word list in retroalphabetical order. I invented this system: sát, mâde, pàrk, cāst, åll, ãir; sét, mê, vèin, fërn; sít, mîne, skì, bïrd; sóng, môde, moôn, lòve, foòt, wörd, ŏr (alas there is no "o" symbol with a ring to correspond to "å"); sún, mûse, fùll, pürr; neŵ, ẁant; gým, mŷ, keỳ, mÿrrh.
British pronunciations under threat: ámateur (-tə, AmE -chr), hárass (AmE haráss), prívacy (AmE prîvacy, cf. prîvate), resëarch (AmE rêsearch); word under threat: queûe, pronounced like cûe, meaning (to be part of) a line of waiting people.
I have my own idiolectical pronunciations of some astronomical objects, the result of reading astronomy books during my only-childhood in the 1950s, and I thought it might be interesting to list some of them here (compare notes?). Some I have dropped: I blame my dear father (1917–2002) for *Rìgel (= Rêgal, perhaps influenced by the cinema chain)—I eventually learnt to say Rîgel, rhyming with Nîgel. *Spìca (= BrE spêaker), though, was my fault, and now I conform and say Spîca (= BrE spîker).
- I'm in favour of trivia sections
- People will add their pet facts

"The batsman's holding the bowler's willy"[edit]
When Brian Johnston said it on BBC radio's Test Match Special, I was watching television with the sound turned down, as one did, and, while the commentators giggled uncontrollably, I thought that much more often Holding would be bowling to Willey, fast bowler to all-rounder. It didn't occur to me that history would rewrite it, with Johnston himself reversing them in his autobiography, apparently, and others even claiming the story was apocryphal.
So, when the sources are unreliable, Wikipedia doesn't stand a chance.
- ^ This was a "Pilz Records" disambiguation page, but was deleted and redirected to the German label. I created it because I have two jazz CDs on a mysterious American Pilz (Entertainment, Inc.) label.
- ^ Incidentally, thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that the Beatles officially ceased to be Beatles on the day I ceased to be a teenager.

The bus and the lorry caught fire soon after the collision
Three persons were killed and several others injured in a collision between a bus and a lorry transporting cars at Kurubarahalli in Nangli police station limits on National Highway 4, near Mulbagal in Kolar district, early on Saturday. Both the vehicles caught fire under the impact. Fortunately, the passengers were able to get out of the bus before the fire spread and a major tragedy was averted.
The Garuda (Volvo) bus belonging to the Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation was bound for Bangalore from Tirupati and the lorry was on its say from Chittoor to Bangalore, and the collision occurred around 1 a.m.
Superintendent of Police Ram Nivas Sepat gave the names of the dead as Padmapriya (23), bus passenger, and Srinivas (24), the bus driver's assistant. The third victim was in the lorry and he is yet to be identified.
The bodies of all the three were charred.
The accident occurred when the lorry swerved into the path of the bus.
Presence of mind
The presence of mind of bus driver Subramani saved the lives of his passengers. Mr. Subramani jumped out of the bus soon after the accident and smashed window panes, opened the door and helped passengers get out.
The injured have been admitted to the government hospital at Mulbagal and the R.L. Jalappa Hospital in Kolar.
According to the police, rash and reckless driving by the lorry driver caused the accident.
Traffic was affected on NH 4 for some time.
According to sources, the injured include two residents of Bangalore Venkatesh, 38, and Menon, 54, besides Vamshi Krishna, 28, a resident of Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. All three were treated at a hospital for before they were discharged. Twenty others, who had suffered injuries, were also treated and discharged.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

COSWSUA! is a total gizmo: shiny, impressive, complicated, and flimsy enough to stop working when it's been outmoded, which could be any minute now. The Chicks were visual artists before they were musicians (they've designed a bunch of album covers and Web sites, as well as their own use-once-and-destroy paper dresses), and they've got art-scenesters' tastes and reference points. Who else would claim they've "got more faces than Cindy Sherman"?
CoS treat covers like readymadesart objects that they can appropriate just by performing them. Their "Warm Leatherette" turns into a party anthem (everybody knows the words!) and a deadpan joke (their voices are less expressive than Daniel Miller's or Grace Jones's!). Best in show is a clinkety-clank version of Delta 5's indestructible early-'80s hipster-club anthem "Mind Your Own Business," which they honor by unsuccessfully attempting to destroy it with blank robobeats and even blanker delivery. (Over in San Diego, the jitter-punk band Le Shok just put "Mind Your Own Business" to a similar test on their We Are Electrocution; again, the song wins handily.)
Like a lot of visual artists, they've got one big idea and one signature gesture. The big idea is using the tools of the new PowerBook underground in the service of pop songs: there are software-crinkled electronic textures all over their records, and they even have a line about timbre-tweaking trio Fenn O'Berg, whose album cover they designed (it's followed by something about "sperm-stained jeans"). The signature move is ripping themselves to shreds: cutting up their own voices, word by word, and pasting them into their tracks so they sound like their record-cover collages look. "Glamour Girl" is a by-the-book house encomium, on the pattern of RuPaul's "Supermodel," but the lyrics aren't quite convinced ("her hair's so high! . . . she brushes her teeth five times a day!"), and the vocal, sped up, repitched, and manipulated so that "bra" has two syllables, undermines the meaning even more. Très arté.
Lolita Stormthree British chicks and their DJhave no time for art, and are even more deliberately disposable than their Munich counterparts. (It's hard to imagine them making a second album, and impossible to imagine a third.) Also, they luv speed even more, so much that they've made "I Luv Speed" one of the 15 songs (in 24 minutes) on G F S U, as it will be known when it comes out here shortly (European title: Girls Fucking Shit Up). They also luv Daddy, bad boys, bad boys who treat them badly, bad boys' faces under their microminis, and Sid Vicious. "He's So Bad I Luv Him" opens with an ensemble sneer of "Is she rea-lly go-ing out with him?" as in "New Rose," a song the Damned recorded before the Lolitas were born. The title of "(I Wanna) Meat Injection" rhymes with "someone sweet who can keep an erection." Rumors that Malcolm McLaren is ghostwriting their lyrics remain unconfirmed at press time.
They do have a serious Bow Wow Wow thing going on, or rather (since Bow Wow Wow could play their Mohawks off) the we-have-cum-for-your-children thing that BWW was supposed to be. The singers are Spex, Nhung Napalm, and Romy Medina, who scream fetchingly in unison and have not developed their technique one smidge since their skip-rope days; the music is provided by one Jimmy Too Bad, generally in the form of the same distorted amen breaks that can be heard on every other goddamn Digital Hardcore record, though the tapes are apparently wearing out, which makes them sound better.
The album is dumb, shallow, transient, unrelenting, and thoroughly effective. No more caustic rock & roll fun can be found in this long, slow summer. Use it up, rip it up, and throw it away.

LAGUNA BEACH - A crowd of nearly 200 gathered at Crescent Bay Beach in Laguna Beach on Sunday to watch three sea lions that had been rehabilitated at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center be released to the ocean.
Cheered by spectators, volunteers and employees from the center, the year-old pups were let out of their cages and they waddled toward the ocean.
Liberty - who had gained 85 pounds at the center - made it to the waves first, followed by Padoodle, now 81 pounds.
Lukas — who came to the center with a hook in his nose — took more coaxing to get into the waves and looked back at the crowd before disappearing in the surf. The pup weighed 19 pounds when he came to the center and left at 81 pounds.
Volunteers Erica Kremer and Joann Smith held each other and cried as the California sea lions explored their new environment.
"It is a happy feeling because they survived, but there is a sadness because we are not going to see them again," said Smith, who has been with the center for about a year.
The pups were rescued within about a month of one another last spring.
Center evolves to help more animals
After Sunday's release, the center still has more than 15 California sea lions, sea elephants and Pacific harbor seals in rehabilitation. During the spring there can be more than 75 animals at the center, Director of Development Melissa Sciacca said.
To accommodate their growing numbers of animal rescues, the center embarked on a $700,000 construction project in October 2006 to upgrade its facilities, including revamping their seven pools.
Now, the center's officials are focused on raising funds for a surgical room and two nursery areas that will take up about a third of the center's total 1,400 square feet.
"What the construction means for us is being adequately prepared to house all the animals that need help," Sciacca said.
The organization's funding primarily comes from individual donors, grants from the city and federal government, and private foundations.
The center's total annual budget is $700,000, and officials hope to raise more than $98,000 for the three new rooms. The center currently has about $25,000 toward the project.
The two nursery rooms will have heated floors to help regulate the body temperature and provide an isolated environment for at-risk animals. These rooms will be primarily used for pregnant animals and infants.
The third room will be devoted to surgical procedures and will centralize the center's medical equipment. Without the room, the veterinarian and staff must move the equipment to the animal.

Fuck Mountain was the name of our loft in 2007 and 2008 in Chicago. We had a lot of bands from all over play there. TuneYards' Merrill Garbus used to play her first shows there, and Sister Suvi prior.
Need underground cred? Head to Fuck Mountain. Somewhere in the vicinity of south Minneapolis's Wedge neighborhood, the tiny basement venue has hosted some loud live music events recently. (It would be supremely uncool to print the address.) The name is not a literal description of the space, so don't bother showing up for the wrong reasons, sickos. If biking from another neighborhood seems like too much of a jaunt for a Thursday night, just say, "I bet they're having a merry old time over at Fuck Mountain tonight." That ought to raise a few eyebrows.
Author, feel free to comment and let us know why you wrote this.
Sounds like "I heard someone call a house venue 'Fuck Mountain' and I thought it was interesting so I moaned about it on CityPages instead of actually checking it out because thinking is hard work and I don't want to talk to anyone who is actually interested in music."
Need mainstream cred? Read City Pages.

the owner is a pleasure...
Very close to the beach and to the shops and restaurants.
The Apartment needed some up dates but it was nice for what we needed .
The property manager was great .
The photo of the pool was taken from unit #20, which has that view. It is an upstairs unit, versus your rental, which I think, was downstairs, corner.
The pool is heated in summer, nice and warm, and most people love soaking & just haveing fun! For laps, the Carpinteria Community pool is just blocks away,with Aquatic fitness classes too.
(They also have 2 tennis courts).
Our pool is mainly for fun after a day at the beach! (We do not heat our pool in winter). Adults enjoy sunning on lounge chairs around the pool, relaxing within our garden-pool experience, seeing lots of blue sky, or lounging, while the kids play in the warm water,
Regarding the furnishings, every Spring we rehab our furnishings to update for summer.
But you get what you pay for, & our rates are usually the best around! Our units are nice sized, well designed, comfortable, & affordable. Everything you need should be there!

10th summer at Seashell Beach
The location is excellent, 1 block to the 'World's Safest Beach', a block to the Salt Marsh preserve, short walk to 'The Spot' (excellent burgers and fries) and downtown.
The owners Adrea and Herb have been excellent hosts and have always made us feel at home and if there has been a problem, they are quick to fix it. Over the years, we have stayed in several of the apartments, all of which are nicely furnished.
One of the nice things about Seashell is the family atmosphere. From when our children were small to now that they are in college, they enjoy their time at the property. They do have a nice pool and barbeque area.
We have met many wonderful people while using the grill cooking some fresh local fish purchased at Santa Barbara Fish Market (in the SB harbor), well worth the 15 minute drive.
All we can say is Seashell Apts and Carpinteria go together like bread and butter.
From the Owner
"We love this location and property. It really is a little piece of paradise!"
Activity and Interests
A short walk brings you to Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve and Nature Park, wetlands and a bird estuary that provides habitat for endangered animal and plant species. The Nature Park is perfect a living museum - great for children and nature lovers! has bridges and beautiful vistas, flat walk for all ages. Migrating birds from Alaska to Mexico land here.

Two University of Michigan-Flint Recreation Center employees have been selected to receive the American Red Cross Salute to Everyday Heroes Workplace Good Samaritan award. Each year, the Red Cross solicits nominations from the community in order to honor those individuals who have shown exceptional courage, kindness, and unselfish character by their acts of heroism. Gary Parr, associate director of recreational services, and Chris Clolinger, assistant director of intramural sports will receive the award at a special celebration on May 16.
The two men are being credited with helping to save the life of a Recreation Center member who collapsed with a heart attack. According to Parr, a 60 year old male collapsed while running on the track. The man had no pulse and was experiencing agonal breathing, which quickly ceased. The AED (Automated External Defibrillator) electrodes were applied to the man by Clolinger. The AED analyzed heart activity and detected a shockable rhythm. The AED delivered one shock and Clolinger and Parr performed CPR. The man regained pulse and breathing. His condition was monitored while waiting for EMS to arrive. EMS arrived and transported the man to Genesys Regional Medical Center. The man has since recovered from heart surgery.
"We are proud that Gary and Chris are being honored for their life saving efforts and also very thankful for the excellent job Gary does to ensure that appropriate staff is recertified annually in CPR/AED. His diligence to training paid off. Chris was able to react automatically. The quick response by Chris followed by assistance from Gary made the difference between life and death in this incident," said Theresa Landis, director of Auxiliary and Recreational Services.
UM-Flint currently has seven AEDs strategically located on campus. The safety department's unit is completely portable and can be transported to where it is needed. An individual or department interested in receiving AED training should contact the Urban Health and Wellness Center.
Parr and Clolinger will be featured in a special video produced by ABC12 for the event

Whatever Happened to Chinese Human Rights?
On the American campaign trail this year, China's people went missing.
- By Frank Jannuzi <p> Frank Jannuzi is head of the Washington office of Amnesty International. </p>
Every four years, presidential campaigns thrust China into the political limelight. The candidates seem to relish any opportunity to accuse their opponents of being "soft" on China and its human rights abuses. The campaign's intoxication with tough talk is often followed by a post-inauguration hangover, however, as the winner realizes the difficulty of finding solutions to a wide range of international challenges — halting the spread of nuclear weapons, promoting economic growth, protecting the global environment, ensuring energy security — without cooperation from the Chinese government. It is a Washington ritual that goes back to the country's 1949 founding and the debate over who lost China to the "immoral" and "godless" communists.
President Jimmy Carter is famed for injecting human rights issues more prominently into U.S. foreign policy, but when he normalized relations with Beijing in 1979, it was Republican candidate Ronald Reagan who seized the moral high ground, saying he "would not abandon friends and allies." (Ironically, Reagan went on to authorize the sale of advanced military hardware, including Blackhawk helicopters, to China's People's Liberation Army.) In the wake of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, candidate Bill Clinton accused then President George H.W. Bush of coddling the "butchers of Beijing," and then promptly abandoned attempts to link trade and human rights after taking office.
But this year, the human rights element has largely been missing from the campaign. Even the dramatic case of blind human rights defender Cheng Guangcheng, who briefly thrust issues of rule of law and justice onto the U.S.-China agenda in April by fleeing into the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, has not inspired either candidate, beyond a brief attempt by Mitt Romney to politicize Chen's case. Compared with past campaigns, human rights in China have largely been an afterthought.
Both Romney and his opponent, President Barack Obama, had a chance to speak more comprehensively about China at their foreign-policy debate on Oct 22, but both punted. When moderator Bob Schieffer asked the candidates what kind of relationship they wanted to have with a rising China, Obama said China was both an "adversary" and also a "potential partner in the international community, if it's following the rules." The rules he referenced were those governing trade and freedom of navigation, not human rights. Romney, like Obama, struck a cooperative tone: "We can collaborate with them if they're willing to be responsible." But he too defined "responsible" only in terms of trade policy.
Neither candidate mentioned human rights, Tibet, Xinjiang, the Great Firewall, jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo, China's support for Sudan, or China's obstruction of United Nations Security Council action on Syria. Neither named the leader of China, President Hu Jintao, or made reference to the leadership transition underway and what it might portend.
China has been present in the campaign, but mostly in one dimension: trade. Obama fired a salvo in this year's State of the Union Address, noting that his administration had brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate of the previous administration. The president also announced the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit to investigate "unfair trading practices in countries like China."
Romney countered with a February 2012 op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, arguing that the United States should, "directly counter abusive Chinese practices in the areas of trade, intellectual property, and currency valuation." He promised to designate China a "currency manipulator" on the first day of his presidency, and also pledged to beef up U.S. military forces in the Pacific to "guarantee the region remains open for cooperative trade. Romney did briefly mention China's human rights record in his op-ed, but offered no specifics on how his administration would support Chinese dissidents, or how his approach would differ from Obama's.
China might now be powerful enough that both candidates are reluctant to raise human rights issues for fear of it withholding cooperation in other areas. In February 2009, on her first trip abroad, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said about issues like Taiwan, Tibet, and human rights that "Successive administrations and Chinese governments have been poised back and forth on these issues, and we have to continue to press them. But our pressing on those issues can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis."
But one of the principle architects of U.S. engagement with China, Ambassador Winston Lord, takes a different view. In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Lord who was ambassador to China from 1985 to 1989, offered up his "10 commandments" for dealing effectively with China. First commandment: "Don't Demonize China." Second commandment: "Don't Sanitize China." Speaking up for human rights in China may not curry favor with China's ruling elite, but according to an October Pew Research Center poll, 52 percent of Chinese people remain favorably inclined toward U.S. ideas about democracy even though only 43 percent have a favorable view of the overall relationship. Perhaps not surprisingly, the younger, richer, and better-educated Chinese are, the more likely they are to identify with U.S. ideas about democracy and human rights. This suggests that U.S. advocacy for human rights may resonate among those Chinese most likely to shape the country's future.
And human rights issues don't have to be viewed in isolation. The candidates could easily pivot from human rights in China to the creation of U.S. jobs. The links between China's human rights practices and the ability of the United States to compete globally on a level playing field may not be obvious, but linked they are, as Yoda might say. China gains a competitive advantage from cheap labor, lax environmental protection laws, and expropriated land. Beijing will continue to enjoy those advantages so long as Chinese workers are denied the right to form independent labor unions, Chinese people are punished for demanding clean air and water, and Chinese peasants are pushed off their land without fair compensation.
The candidates' failure to put forward concrete ideas on how to advance human rights in China is a shame. There are many avenues available to encourage reforms — through educational exchanges, judicial training, journalist training, rule of law seminars, support for civil society, broadcasting, Internet freedom initiatives, vocal support for dissidents, and official human rights dialogues.
Increasing U.S. support for rule of law and human rights in China would be a smart play for three reasons. First, it would garner favor within China. The most courageous advocates for human rights and justice in China live inside the country, not along the banks of the Potomac. Second, it would enhance U.S. economic opportunities by strengthening the Chinese middle class (the consumers of the future) and depriving Chinese state-owned enterprises of some of the unfair advantages they enjoy as a result of low-wage labor, lax environmental regulations, and stolen land. Third, it would actually promote China's own long-term stability. China is experiencing tens of thousands of protests every year, many focused on economic injustice. By repressing those seeking redress for grievances — whether they are Tibetan monks or disconsolate factory workers — the Chinese Communist Party is only undermining its own legitimacy and allowing problems to fester. Maybe by 2016, an American presidential contender will notice.

Linux GUIs
One of the first things people see when looking at Linux is the desktop, or Graphical User Interface (GUI). Unlike most other operating systems such as MS Windows, BeOS and MacOS, with Linux (and UNIX) you have a choice of which GUI to use. Additionally, you have the ability to change the look and feel of any of the GUIs.
First, a pronunciation lesson. GUI is commonly pronounced "gooey", and almost never "G-U-I". Now that you know how to be cool, let's move on to what you get in terms of GUIs with Linux.
Unlike MS Windows, BeOS and MacOS, where the GUI is an integral part of the operating system, the graphical environment in Linux is made up of a bunch of pieces.
The bottom-level piece is called the X Window System, or X for short. X itself can be divided into two parts: the client and the server. The client is the part that connects the applications program. On the other end is the server, which is the part that connects to your graphical display. This may sound backward--think of the server as the part that serves the display.
At the next level, we have what is called the window manager. This is the part that adds decorations to the windows, allowing you to perform window-related tasks such as resizing, moving and killing.
Finally, there is a development environment. This is the software that allows you to write application programs that take advantage of the graphical environment. Let me point out that you could do all your development using the functionality offered by X, but it would be a lot harder than using one of the higher-level toolkits.
Two advantages of the multi-piece setup are:
You can run your display on a system other than where the program is running.
You can pick and choose what the GUI looks like.
The first point may sound a little obscure, but it is actually pretty simple and very useful. Let's suppose that some pictures you want to view, using the xv utility, are located on a friend's workstation. Assuming you and your friend are on the same network, your options for accessing the pictures are:
Copy the files to your local system using ftp, rcp or scp.
NFS-mount the directory containing the pictures, so you can access them from your system.
Go to their workstation and view the pictures there.
Take advantage of the client-server design of the X Window System.
The obvious question is how to take advantage of the client-server design of X. The first step is to acquaint yourself with the xhost command. By entering
xhost +
on your local computer, you allow other systems to write to your display. See the man page on xhost for details on other options.
Next, remotely log on to the system with the pictures on them. You can do this with one of several commands, including rsh and ssh. (Find out more about rsh and ssh at our on-line man pages.)
Now you need to tell the X client on this remote system that you want it to use the X server on your desktop to display images. You do this by setting the environment variable named DISPLAY equal to the name or IP address of your desktop system, followed by :0. For example, if the name of your local system is sugarmag.ssc.com and you are running the bash or korn shell, you would enter
export DISPLAY=sugarmag.ssc.com:0
Now you can invoke xv just like you normally would, except you are doing it on the remote system. For example, to display the picture coolpic.jpg, just enter
xv coolpic.jpg
on the remote system. The image will be displayed on your local system.
The window manager is simply a helper program that gives you the ability to control the windows on your desktop. Unlike other platforms, you can pick and choose the window manager.
The two most popular choices today are GNOME and KDE. Both offer a sophisticated user interface and their own development environments. GNOME came into existence for political reasons. The licensing on the Qt toolkit, the software that KDE is based on, was rather restrictive. Today, Qt licensing has been relaxed, and the choice is much more on the level of personal preference.
If you've used MS Windows 95 or 98, KDE will look familiar. The February 2000 issue of Linux Journal ran articles on KDE and GNOME.
If performance is an issue--for example, you want to run Linux on a 486 or other slow machine, or have only 16MB of RAM--you can still run Linux with a GUI. You are best off looking at FVWM, a completely capable window manager that is much smaller than KDE or GNOME. What does FVWM stand for? Well, the Virtual Window Manager part is clear enough, but the "F"? Consult the FVWM FAQ for some of the (often humorous) details. Another alternative is Motif, or its free relative, Lesstif.

Picket Fence Russian River Pinot Noir 2009
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
The challenge with Pinot Noir is to get enough extract from the grape skins without turning the wine into something too heavy and rustic. This wine has an elegant, pure fruit forward style with the brilliant intensity of rich mouthwatering Bing cherry, blackberry and spice. The luxurious density, beautiful structure and velvety texture on the palate are hallmarks of this vintage and make this wine a superlative example of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Silky richness carries this wine's dark raspberry flavors across complex layers of tannin. The flavors are delicate and lightly pungent, while alcohol fills out the texture and broadens the wine. It finishes smoky and earthy, for roast squab or other game birds."
Picket Fence Winery
Picket Fence wines grew out of our long friendship and a shared desire to create handcrafted wines that reflect the awe-inspiring appeal of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. This spectacular region is a place of unparalleled beauty with unique growing conditions and vineyards. When we decided to make a wine together, we embraced the Russian River Valley as our winemaking home.
Picket Fence also reunites old friends, vineyard manager Pete Opatz and winemaker Don Van Staaveren, two wine legends who have crafted some of Sonoma County's most highly acclaimed wines. Pete brings intimate knowledge of the Russian River appellation and cultivates flavorful grapes that fully express the exceptional characteristics found in our Picket Fence vineyards. Don blends these grapes to reveal their true essence, creating luscious wines with the classic Russian River profile of richness and balance.
Created in small lots, Picket Fence Chardonnay and Pinot Noir celebrate our passion for the Russian River Valley and our sentiment that wine is a way of bringing family and friends together. View all Picket Fence Wines
About Russian River
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Dubai coma victim seeks compensation from Emirates hotel chain
Natalie Creane was celebrating her engagement with a trip to the Emirates Palace Hotel four years ago when she was struck on the head with a wooden panel and her life was changed forever.
The Dubai resident was putting her shoes away in the hotel wardrobe when the loose panel hit her on the head. Since then she has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and Traumatic Brain Injury.
The case has now gone to court and friends of Natalie have started campaigns for justice on Facebook and Twitter. So far the Emirates hotel chain, owned by a Swiss-German conglomerate are refusing to accept liability.
Meanwhile Creane has slipped into a coma and has blood clots in her lung and leg. The side-effects from the medication she takes for her seizures are also having a serious effect on her liver.
The family has excellent lawyers at their disposal but so far the hotel chain is denying responsibility. The case continues.
What do you think about the case? Should Emirates Palace Hotel pay out compensation? Tell us your views below.
Top Headlines
This is my amazing friend. She would do anything for anyone. She's currently being nursed out of a fifth coma, all caused by the accident at the hotel four years ago. I'm incredulous they tried to blame her for the accident and am sad and disappointed they keep dragging their feet and can't do the right thing. Even after all this time. Perhaps they don't know the seriousness of the situation? We need more Natalie's in this world... She always does the right thing. I told you she would put herself out and look after anyone or anything? I want to see the powers that be do the right thing by her.
Absolutely they should pay. A persons life, ruined in a split second through negligence from the hotel.
I am horrified at the way Emirates Palace has behaved! Disgraceful. The court constantly rules in Natalie's favour and they keep appealing, despite all the medical evidence. I sincerely hope that they start to appreciate the seriousness of this situation before it is too late to do anything.
Of course they should pay compensation! Her quality of life has been dramatically reduced and he can no longer get medical insurance. Why should she and her family go bankrupt paying for hospital visits and medical care when it is the Emirates Palace' fault. Surely they must have insurance that would cover them for this kind of thing. Stop causing the poor family more suffering by dragging out the court case and give Natalie what she deserves: justice and decent medical care.
Please Emirates Palace help Natalie.
Our poor friend was injured in your hotel and she and her family need your help and support.
I'm sure you have a conscience and will do the right thing.
I am appauled that a hotel that caused the injury and left the young lady in a life threatening condition have not admitted liability. i dread to think what her poor family must be going through.
Do the right thing!
I will never visit this hotel.
