"Augmented reality" is finding its way into more products as the technological barriers fall away. The technology appears in iPhone applications such as "Firefighter 360," a game that depicts the user's surroundings in flames. It could also be coming to a slew of Android apps via a Qualcomm augmented-reality developer's kit. "We're taking what's really hard [about creating augmented reality] and we'll make it available to developers for free," Qualcomm's Jay Wright said.

Peter Thiel net worth: Peter Thiel is a German-born American entrepreneur, hedge fund manager and venture capitalist who has a net worth of $2.2 billion. Throughout his professional career, Peter Thiel has been engaged with Silicon Valley's most dynamic companies. His first start-up project was PayPal, which he co-founded in 1998, and also served as its Chairman and CEO. After he sold his portion in PayPal to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002, he personally netted $60 million from the deal. Next, Peter set the basis of Clarium Capital Management, an investment management and hedge fund company which follows a global macro strategy. He also assisted the launch of the California-headquartered analytical software company, Palantir Technologies, where he sits on the chairman board. Before teaming up with PayPal partners, Ken Howery and Luke Nosek, once again, this time for the launch of Founders Fund, Peter was an active venture capitalist funding such companies as Facebook. Actually, Peter was Facebook's first outside investor and director, and as such, he has accumulated the bulk of his net worth from this stake since 2004. Thanks to his contributions to technology, entrepreneurship, and finance, Thiel has earned various recognition and awards including the one by the World Economic Forum, which honored Peter as a Young Global Leader. In addition to the above, he has been an active participant in numerous philanthropic, academic, and cultural causes. Primarily a supporter of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Peter supports the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the medical charity SENS Foundation, as well. What's more, Peter remains active at his alma mater, and has taught at Stanford Law School. As for his Thiel Foundation, it gives young entrepreneurs $100,000 over two years to skip college and pursue their business ideas instead. While he is encouraging students to choose business over college, Peter himself received a BA in Philosophy from Stanford University and a JD from Stanford Law School.

The median salary for Registered Dietitians in the United States is $49K per year, and compared to other cities, Los Angeles offers the biggest paychecks at around $69K on average. Registered Dietitians will also find cushy salaries in New York (+17 percent), San Diego (+7 percent), Seattle (+3 percent), and Nashville (+3 percent). The figures in this overview were provided by individuals who took PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Registered dietitians usually work in a hospital or a care facility such as a nursing home or a rehabilitation center. However, they may also privately consult clientele independently. Regardless of their place of employment, they work to assess their patients'/clients' nutritional needs and to create care plans that are tailored to each person's ongoing dietary needs and goals. Registered dietitians also routinely monitor their patients'/clients' basic vital signs and keep track of their body mass indexes (BMIs) and other related measurements.Read More...
A bachelor's degree in nutrition is the minimum educational requirement for registered dietitians. In addition, registered dietitians are also required to obtain a license from their respective state in order to work in that state. (Each state will have its own requirements related to the license required for a registered dietitian.) Communication and people skills, organization and planning are essential for registered dietitians. Registered dietitians must also have a moderate degree of computer literacy. Additional language skills are also desirable and in high demand. Certification or other related work experience with women, infants and children (WIC) may be preferred by some employers. Registered dietitians commonly work somewhat normal business or daytime hours, although some are required to work nights, evenings or weekends.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Registered Dietitians who go on to become Physician Assistants may see their salaries climb quite a bit. Median pay for Physician Assistants is $82K annually. Many Registered Dietitians advance into roles as Dietitian or Nutritionists or Licensed Dietitians, but the median salaries are $5K lower and $2K lower, respectively.
DaVita Inc., Sodexo, Inc., Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., Morrison Healthcare, and Healthcare Services Group, Inc. are all popular places to work. With a median salary of $56K, DaVita Inc. offers Registered Dietitians the highest pay. However, earnings don't seem to live on a large spectrum; they generally peter out at $45K and are capped at $70K.
Survey takers working as Registered Dietitians report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Long Term Care, Eating Disorders, Sports Nutrition, and Renal are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 6 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Pediatrics. It is often found that people who know Counseling are also skilled in Patient Education and Nutrition Support.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Registered Dietitians, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $47K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $53K. Registered Dietitians claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $58K. Registered Dietitians who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $61K.

I don't know why there is no description of this book because it has been out for awhile and much has been written about it. David Frei went on to create a charity - Angels on a Leash - to further this mission. Touching story about Mike and Dakota and their deep love and affection. A must read.

The GEO600 gravitational wave detector in Hanover, Germany, has not yet detected any gravitational waves. As a consolation prize, it may instead have uncovered the ultimate nature of reality.
In 2008, physicist Craig Hogan at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, was trying to work out how we might test the idea that everything we see as physical reality is the result of a kind of projection from the boundary of the universe. This is known as the holographic principle.
The information held at the boundary is not smooth, but composed of "bits", each one occupying an area that corresponds to the most fundamental quanta of distance in the universe. This is the Planck length, around 10-35 metres – far too small for us to see the individual bits. When this information is projected into the volume of the universe, however, each bit gets magnified. That means we might just be able to see pixellation in space-time.
The kinds of scales involved still mean it would only be detectable in the most sensitive instruments we have – such as the gravitational wave detectors looking for the ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmological events such as the collision of two black holes. Hogan worked out how the pixellation might manifest itself for GEO600 and sent his result to the researchers there.
By strange coincidence, the GEO600 team had been having problems with "noise" in their detectors. But here's the kicker: the noise had uncannily similar characteristics as Hogan's anticipated signal. Is it indeed the result of information that resides at the edge of the universe? "The issue is still unresolved," says Karsten Danzmann, principal investigator for GEO600. "The noise is still there and we have no explanation."
The answer may only come after the instrument is upgraded to make it even more sensitive, a step that is due to be completed this time next year.

Paasi paruppu payasam is a traditional recipe that I learnt from my grandmother. It is a tasty and healthy dessert.
What you need
Green gram (Paasi paruppu) - 1 cup
Jaggery dissolved in water - 1/2 cup
Milk - 1/2 cup
Coconut milk - 1/4 cup
Cardamom - 1 tsp
Ghee - 1 tsp
Cashews, raisins - 1 tsp each
Cooking instructions
Dry roast the gram till golden brown and it gives off an aroma. Set aside to cool. Take coconut milk extract and set aside.
Heat ghee and roast cashews and raisin and set aside.
Then pressure cook the gram (with 1/2 cup of water) for 4 whistles and keep aside. It should be squishy enough to mash. Mash it.
In hot water, immerse powdered jaggery and crush well and filter to remove impurities and keep it ready.
Take a wide bottomed pan, add the cooked gram, and the filtered jaggery syrup and milk. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes. Then add coconut milk, cardamom powder — give a quick stir.
Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Add ghee, roasted cashews and serve hot or cold.

The preserved body of a woolly rhinoceros has revealed new insights into how this now extinct giant animal once lived.
The woolly rhino was once one of the most abundant large mammals living in Eurasia, but only a handful of preserved carcasses have been found.
Now an analysis of a female woolly rhino found preserved in Siberia reveals that the animal was a herbivore that grazed mainly on cereals, and was similar in size to today's Javan rhino.

Boyd Loses His Cherry To Kaden
Active Duty featured Boyd, a hot new recruit who finally mans up and gives up his perfect virgin hole to none other than gorgeous Kaden Saylor. It took a lot of talking and a lot of convincing, but when he finally committed to it, he was anxious and excited. After the initial chit-chat they start out by admiring each others bodies as they begin to strip down. Boyd seems mesmerized by Kaden's body and they start out with a nice juicy kiss. From there they progress to blowjobs, face-fucking and then sixty-nine. Next, it's time for the big step. Kaden works his way in as Boyd moans and makes priceless faces. This first timer enjoys it so much that he takes it in two positions before shooting a big load all over himself while Kaden is still inside him!

Remember When Brown Was For Local Control?
When I used to write that Gov. Jerry Brown didn't have much of a plan or an idea behind his second go-round as governor, the protests came back hard. No, no, he's for local control.
The case for Brown as champion of the locals went like this. He did realignment in criminal justice to give the locals control. His new funding formula for schools included provisions for community plans that would give communities more control. And he was for changes in energy that would empower citizens and communities.
Now, not so much. Brown has doubled down on command-and-control targets from Sacramento on energy efficiency and the environment. Those school community plans? They're a farce, forcing parents to answer prescribed questions; they can't honestly be called plans. His much-touted rainy day fund measure limited school districts' ability to manage their own finances. And realignment – it's meant more responsibility for locals, but Brown never gave locals the money – or the freedom to raise it.

A few provisions of the Regulation on Derivative Transactions, Central Counterparties and Trade Repositories, known as the European Market Infrastructure Regulation 648/2012 ("EMIR") are now in effect throughout the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Like Dodd-Frank, EMIR seeks to fulfill the G20 commitment that all standardized over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives ("Contracts") should be cleared through a central counterparty ("CCP") and details of Contracts reported to registered trade repository ("TR"). As EMIR's final shape comes into focus, we have set out below some of the typical questions, particularly those asked by funds and fund managers ("Buy-Side Entities"), which we continue to encounter in the run-up to full implementation of EMIR.
EMIR contains three basic obligations, which are discussed in more detail in the Q&A below:
• Reporting Obligation – all counterparties with OTC and exchange traded Contracts will have to report details of those Contracts and any new Contracts, which they enter into, modify or terminate, to a TR in the EEA. The Contracts include credit, equity, interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity and other swaps and derivatives. The report will have to include details of the counterparties to the Contract and details of the Contract itself and will need to be made no later than one working day after its conclusion, modification or termination.

This Friday the 13th turned out to be a particularly ominous one for Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan who nearly died after going into cardiac arrest early this morning.
"He is now stable and we look forward to his full recovery," Michael's rep confirmed for Fox.
TMZ reported earlier today that Michael, best known for such films as The Green Mile, Sin City and Armageddon, was saved by his girlfriend Omarosa Stallworth.
Omarosa, known by many for her two-season stint on "The Apprentice" and televised search for love on "The Ultimate Merger," discovered the 54-year-old in a state of cardiac arrest around 2 a.m.
She was able to perform CPR, successfully resuscitating Michael until paramedics could arrive.
Michael is currently resting in the intensive care unit at a Los Angeles area hospital.
Omarosa lost a brother last year in a shooting.

The average per show attendance at the New York City Ballet's residency at Saratoga Performing Arts Center rose 24 percent when compared to last year's levels.
Total attendance was 34,873, down from last year's 42,354. The 2009 residency was shortened by one week as a cost saving measure, however, leading SPAC officials to declare the two-week season's turnout a victory.
We are pleased and grateful that dance audiences turned out so strongly for New York City Ballet's SPAC Season, said SPAC President and Executive Director Marcia White in a statement.
White went on to say that the shorter season helped to build momentum early on, and that pre-performance promotions helped stoke enthusiasm.
The average ticket income per performance also rose, from $66,786 to $56,040, a 19 percent increase.

I was pleasantly surprised that our tour guide spoke very good English. The tour was very concise and informative. I would highly recommend this for tourists who are on a short trip like us!

A succinct tour of the major highlights of Tokyo. Highly recommended for the first-timer in this bustling and cosmopolitan city. One could even view the newest and latest addition -- Tokyo Skytree--from the Asakusa Sensoji Temple on this tour.

The tour showed us the major sites in Tokyo and orientated us to this large city. The guide was friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

This tour was a great snapshot of Tokyo and very informative.
Reviewed by: John L, USA, February 2015
Our tour guide, May, was very informative and anticipated the groups needs with interesting facts and history for the sites we visited as well as information about Tokyo between sites. We had a hotel pick-up which was very convenient and a must as the bus station where the tour "starts" is hard to find and get to the right area where the tours leave from. We visited the sites as advertised, Shinto, Imperial gardens, and lastly the Buddhist temple. We did a half day tour and they dropped us off at the shopping district not too far from the National Kabuki Theater (a must see!).
We learned the major differences between Shinto and Buddhism as well as the Imperial system and how the Shogun era impacted Japan and its culture. The shrines were actually not much to see in themselves but we saw 2 wedding parties, a Shinto monk procession, and the ceremony of tolling the shrine bells. The Imperial gardens were nice and a great break from the concrete and glass of Tokyo. The Buddhist temple was interesting but extremely crowded. A lot of excellent shops and stalls on the main street and there are people walking around in actual kimonos and period dress (men and women). Get some of the snacks and small objects here as they are much easier to find, but no bargaining as in other Asian cities.
We took our 2 small children, 5 and 8, and they kept up and managed the entire half day tour easily. Plenty of photo opportunities every where on this tour, even on the bus as you will go past the Tokyo Tower and the Sky Tree. Take some spending money for Buddhist Temple area. Take advantage of the hotel pickup. If you do the half day tour, there are restaurants close to the drop off point. Make your way back to the National Kabuki Theater and Sony Showroom for sure. Shows are short and very interesting but kids have to be quiet and no photos. Great cultural and photogenic tour of Tokyo!

PROVIDENCE --- Kevin Hall's second goal of the game, a shorthanded tally with 5:54 to play, lifted East Providence to a 4-3 victory over Mount Hope on Thursday night in the opening game of their best-of-three Division III championship series at Providence College's Schneider Arena.
The Townies (17-4) will seek their first state title since 2005 tonight at 8:30 p.m. when the series resumes at Schneider. A third and deciding game will be held on Sunday at a time to be announced if the Huskies win this game.
CRANSTON --- After losing his last three fights over the past 24 months as a lightweight fighter, can a change in weight class result in a change of fortunes for Eddie Soto?
The Pawtucket fighter and his camp at 401 Boxing in Cranston certainly think so.
Soto, who spent the first seven years of his pro career fighting at 135 pounds, is moving up two classes to the 145-pound welterweight circuit and making his debut in this division next Thursday night on the "Home Invasion" show, presented by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, at the Twin River Event Center.

The port at Sagar in West Bengal will entail an investment of Rs.7,820 cr
Giving a push to infrastructure development, the government, on Thursday, approved a proposal to set up two major ports in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh at an investment of about Rs.15,820 crore.
"The proposal for setting up two major ports in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh has been cleared," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari told reporters after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA).
The new port in West Bengal, which will have a capacity of 54 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), requires an investment of around Rs.7,820 crore.
The other new port in Andhra Pradesh, whose projected capacity is around 50 mtpa, would entail an investment of about Rs.8,000 crore, the Minister said.
The new ports will be notified as major ports under the Indian Ports Act, 1908. Major ports come under the Central Government, while minor ports are operated by State governments as well as by the private sector.
There are at present 12 major ports — Kolkata-Halida, Paradip, Visakhapatnam, Ennore, Chennai, V O Chidambaranar (formerly Tuticorin), Kochi, New Mangalore, Mormugao, Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru (JNPT) and Kandla.
The move to set up new ports comes after several years.
The need for a port at Sagar in West Bengal was felt as the existing ports at Kolkata and Haldia were facing capacity constraints.
The location for port in Andhra Pradesh has not yet been finalised, and the State Government has identified three locations — Nakkapalli in Visakhapatnam, Ramayyapatnam in Prakasam and Dugarajapatnam in Nellore.
PPP mode
The new major ports are likely to be set up on public-private partnership (PPP) mode, and will cater to increased imports of coal and oil besides boosting the local economy and generating jobs.

Ford Mustang Boss 302: first drive
Ford says its 444bhp 'Stang out-handles the best Europe has to offer. True or false? There's only one way to find out…
Posted: 05 May 2011
Altering more than 200 engine-management parameters, it messes with the Boss's brain and turns the already tasty car into a hairy, savage beast. Tickover goes from a smooth thrum toa barely legal-sounding, lumpy chug; low-end torque increases; and the throttle turns from a pedal into a switch. Also included is a two-stage launch control, which allows you to preset the rpm then just hit the throttle and dump the clutch.
If it sounds extreme, it's meant to, because it is. As Mustang Chief Engineer Dave Pericak says: "Anything that could possibly affect all-out performance is deleted from the TracKey calibration. Any drivability enhancements are removed and replaced with pure Ford Racing competition calibration." And he's not joking. This is not just some upgraded Sport mode button - it's a full retuning of the whole engine.

Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.

Chateau Palmer 2004
Bordeaux Red Blends from Margaux, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
Purple-ruby color of very high intensity. Expressive nose of very ripe dark berries, bracken, cinnamon, wood, peony, violet, smoke, and fresh mint. Perfectly ripe fruitiness, full, tender tannins and lots of freshness in the mouth. Elegance is the prevailing note here with an ideal expression of the terroir. The finish is already long and gorgeous.
Perfect balance is in view but still requires a little time to emerge and to let the pure drinking pleasure take hold. Peak: 2010-2025
Blend: 47% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Fairly deep color. Gorgeous smoky, floral nose is flamboyant and seductive. It's bright, intense, with rich cherry fruit, mint, and tobacco. The wonderful fruit character on the nose returns in the mouth; it's soft and velvety, drinking beautifully right now! The 2004 is not one of the more complex Palmers, more floral and delicate than powerful, but everyone loved it. The terrific performance of the 2004 was easily the biggest surprise of the entire tasting."
Wine Enthusiast - "This wine hits the opulent end of the spectrum, with its dense, velvet structure, and superrich fruit. But it is not weighed down with this richness, because the pure fruit, the fine lines of the tannins and the very precise character of the vanilla from the wood all give liveliness."
International Wine Cellar - "Deep red. Rich aromas of plum, redcurrant, chocolate and smoke. Sweet, lush and smooth, with a wonderfully fine-grained texture for the year. Highly expressive flavors of currant, cedar, chocolate and tobacco. The wine's subtle sweetness, suave tannins and sneaky persistence convey an impression of very regular ripeness."
Wine Spectator - "Aromas of licorice, tar and mineral follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. A very pretty wine already. Falls a little short, but still outstanding. Best after 2009. 6,000 cases made."

Chateau Palmer Winery
A gentleman, officer, and aide-de-camp of the Prince of Wales, Charles Palmer was famous at the English court as a ladies man and for his military victories. He fell under the spell of Bordeaux as well as the charms of Marie de Gascq, a beautiful widow who convinced him to buy her estate.
Charles Palmer devoted a great deal of time, energy, and money to developing his property. The Major General lived mainly in England, and so the estate was managed by his authorized representative, Mr Grey, who helped to increase the wine's reputation among wealthy connoisseurs.
In June 1853, the brothers Isaac and Emile Péreire, famous bankers and rivals of the Rothschilds, bought Palmer and began investing in the estate immediately. However, there was not enough time to bring Château Palmer up to first growth status in time for the famous 1855 classification. It was thus ranked a Third Growth, although it is widely recognized as among the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
Several families of Bordeaux, English, and Dutch extraction all involved in the wine trade, united to buy Palmer in 1938 and have worked hard to give the estate its present reputation. These families have always given priority to quality, despite the financial risk this entailed. They have unfailingly applied the principles that have made the great wines of Bordeaux so successful: authenticity, quality, and permanence. View all Chateau Palmer Wines
About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
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 & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Tuukka Rask doesn't see anything controversial about Bruins' goaltending situation
|10.20.10 at 2:35 pm ET
WILMINGTON — An even-keeled Tuukka Rask sat at his locker following the Bruins' practice on Wednesday with the same positive attitude teammates and reporters have come to expect from the young goaltender. Though Rask hasn't seen game action in 11 days, he knows — just as the red-hot Tim Thomas does — that getting riled up over who's in net each night does nobody good, and each netminder will gladly take their turn as it comes.
Yet when one guy gets three turns in a row through four, that's the big story. Tim or Tuukka? It's grabbed headlines for over a season now, and Rask wants it known that neither he nor Thomas sees what the big deal is.
"You guys do your jobs, you write [the stories]," Rask told WEEI.com on Wednesday. "We know where we stand. We know what the deal is. Obviously you guys try to create stories and people read you and stuff, but when you talk about goalie controversy, obviously we don't feel that way. It kind of sucks, but there's nothing we can do about it."
Rask allowed four goals on 36 shots against the Coyotes in the season-opener in Prague, a game that was a classic example as to why stats don't tell the whole story. The Finnish netminder was solid if not better in the game, responsible for really one of Phoenix' goals in a game in which the rest of the team admittedly went on an unforced turnover-spree.
For Rask, just as there's no use in wondering about playing time, there is no use in making excuses. Given how poorly the likes of Dennis Seidenberg, Zdeno Chara, Matt Hunwick and Daniel Paille (who still has yet to dress following the first game), among others, Rask would have every reason to note his own positive play. Like many in the B's locker room, he takes the "win as a team, lose as a team" mentality.
"It was just one game out of 82. That's just one of those games where as a team we didn't play our best," Rask said. "Those games happen. I happened to be in the net and we lost. It's not frustrating, it's just something that happens every now and then. We've just got to focus on the next game. It's a good thing that we won the three after that."
Thomas and Claude Julien have both spoken to how having two very capable, if not elite (which recent statistics would surely suggest) goaltenders is the last thing anyone should make a stink over. Julien himself said on Monday that having the two is problematic for opposing teams, not the Bruins. Rask agrees.
"I think it's a great situation. Having two goalies, and hopefully both playing well, it's going to help the team win some hockey games. I think that's the best situation for our hockey club."

NESN and NBC hockey analyst Mike Milbury made his weekly appearance on the Dale & Holley show Wednesday. To hear the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
The first topic of conversation was the Bruins' goaltending situation. Tim Thomas has started the last three games, after Tuukka Rask appeared in the season opener.
"I'm a little surprised they went with [Thomas] three in a row given the fact that they had so much time off," Milbury said. "Apparently they're going to use Rask either Thursday or Saturday, but that's a long layoff beteween starts. However, as you guys both know, it's a pleasant dilemma to have when your goaltending is too deep. You can't knock what Thomas has done in his three starts. He's been terrific. Rask is going to have to wait his chance again."
Asked if the Bruins might be showcasing Thomas for a possible trade, Milbury said, "No, I don't think so, not at this stage. It may be a byproduct of him playing well, but I don't think it's intentional. I think Claude [Julien] is just going with a guy he thinks can win him a hockey game."
Milbury said he didn't understand the negative reaction to his comments from last week that Tyler Seguin will not be an impact player in his first season. "I was surprised, because it had nothing to do with an evaluation of Tyler Seguin as time goes on. It had to do with what is this guy going to being now," Milbury said. "If you ask Peter Chiarelli or Cam Neely or Claude Julien, I don't think any one of them thinks he's going to be "an impact player" this season. I don't think that's the expectation. A contributor, yes, he can be. But I think it's going to take him a couple of years [to be an impact player]."
Added Milbury: "Time will tell how good he is. But for anybody to think he should be an impact player in his first season hasn't followed the game a lot."
As for the Bruins' 3-1 start, Milbury said: "I think they've had a pretty nice blend over the last three games of opening it up [offensively] when they've had to, and being able to shut it down at the same down when they're responsible, as they usually are."
Canucks center Rick Rypien aggressively pushed a fan on his way to the dressing room Tuesday night in Minnesota. Milbury, famous for his role in the Bruins' brawl in the stands at Madison Square Garden in 1979, said Rypien's actions were inexcusable, but there are things teams can do to make it a safer situation.
"Why they allow such immediate access to players is beyond me," Milbury said, adding: "You really don't want fans close enough so that if a guy is ticked off about something that he can react in the spur of the moment because he's lost his cool. … Getting them away from the players as they exit and enter the arena to me seems like a pretty simple and sane idea."
Added Milbury: I don't know how severe the penalty will be, but they've got to do it. They have to keep that sanctity [where] player and fan has to be protected at all times. There's no excuses, no matter what."
Zdeno Chara not on the ice as Bruins work on power play
|10.20.10 at 12:45 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins took the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Wednesday morning after picking up their third straight win, a 3-1 victory over Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals at the Verizon Center on Tuesday.
Zdeno Chara was not on the ice with teammates as they opened practice, though everyone else was accounted for. It was simply a day of rest for Chara, who played a game-high 29:05 on Tuesday. The Bruins were not donning their white, gold, grey, and merlot sweaters to signify lines, instead sticking to white, grey, and black as the Bruins worked on special teams.
The power play units in the practice consisted of Dennis Seidenberg, Mark Recchi, Milan Lucic, David Krejci, and Nathan Horton on one, with Johnny Boychuk, Patrice Bergeron, Michael Ryder, Tyler Seguin, and Blake Wheeler making up the other. The team is 1-for-15 on the power play through four games this season.
Marc Savard was at Ristuccia in the morning and took the ice for another skating session, according to a Bruins official. The rehabbing center skated for what was believed to be about 20-25 minutes.
Bruins beat the Capitals in DC
|10.19.10 at 10:02 pm ET
Zdeno Chara logged a game-high 29:05 of ice time and Tim Thomas continued his impressive stretch as the Bruins picked up their third straight win on Tuesday night, defeating the Capitals, 3-1, in Washington, D.C.
David Krejci, Milan Lucic, and Matt Hunwick contributed the goals for the Bruins, the first two of which came in the first period, with Hunwick's coming at 2:08 of the third. Both Krecji and Hunwick's tallies were their first of the season, and Lucic picked up his third goal in the last three games.
Thomas was stellar once again, stopping 35 of 36 shots he faced and picking up his third straight win. He has now allowed just two goals in his three games.
– A nice Gordie Howe hat trick for Milan Lucic. The 22-year-old left wing picked up a goal and an assist on David Krejci's tally in the first period before dropping the gloves with Washington defenseman John Erskine in the third.
Lucic is now tied with Nathan Horton for the team lead in goals with three. All in all it's hard not to be very impressed with the Lucic – Krejci – Horton line. The toughness is undoubtedly there, and the scoring touch the Bruins needed desperately entering the season is there.
– As bad as the power play has been for the Bruins, the penalty kill once again came up big, killing off an abbreviated 5-on-3 in the second period of a night in which the Bruins only found themselves shorthanded three times. Zdeno Chara was called for a very questionable tripping call late in the second period, so the penalties to Dennis Seidenberg and Mark Stuart that had the B's down two men for a little more than half a minute very easily could have been the only two calls against the Bruins on the night.
– It's hard to imagine Tuukka Rask sitting four games in a row, so while one should expect Rask to start the home opener on Thursday, Thomas once again proved capable of gettung more starts than many expected prior to the season.
– These should really start being called "What went wrong besides the power play for the Bruins." Add another 0-for-4 for the Bruins to make it an even 1-15 on the season. The highlight of the team's disappointing power play came when the B's played hot potato with the puck for 53 seconds of a 5-on-3 in the second period. Let's not even do the math on what the power play percentage would be until we're confident it the number will be somewhat respectable.
– Not sure that third period goal can save Matt Hunwick from the "What went wrong" space. Some lackadaisical passing between he and Tyler Seguin behind Thomas' net in the second period led to the Capital's lone goal. Hunwick has seemed to play at extreme ends of the spectrum this season, following a horrid season-opener with an impressive two games between the Coyotes and Devils, respectively.
– That's a lot of penalty minutes for Gregory Campbell, who took a high-sticking double-minor in the game's final minutes. He had 11 penalty minutes on the night, including a five minute major for fighting in the first.
Bruins lead Capitals, 2-1, after two
|10.19.10 at 9:07 pm ET
The Capitals are on the board after the second period, but it may be more the doing of some bad bounces behind the net for Matt Hunwick and Tyler Seguin than it was a product of Capitals rookie Marcus Johansson. It was Johansson's first career goal, and he potted it after gathering a puck that shot out to him as a result of the botched pass.
The Bruins' power play woes continued, with the team being able to add 53 seconds of passing on a 5-on-3 to their man advantage resume. On the other hand, the B's were able to kill off a 5-on-3 of their own, so an effective penalty kill can serve as the special teams' saving grace.
Milan Lucic, Mark Recchi, and Johnny Boychuk each have a team-high three shots on goal for the Bruins, while Alexander Ovechkin has just one shot on Tim Thomas. The Bruins' netminder has made 17 saves, with the Capitals outshooting the B's, 18-16, through two periods.
Bruins leading Capitals, 2-0, after one
|10.19.10 at 8:18 pm ET
For the first time this season, a first period update has some Bruins goals to discuss — and a goalie change! Less than 13 minutes into the first period, the Bruins were looking at a cool 2-0 lead on goals from David Krejci and Milan Lucic, while the Capitals were suddenly looking at Semyon Varlamov in net due to a touch of the flu for Michal Neuvirth.
Nathan Horton had a nice pass to Krejci on a 2-on-1 to set up the first line center's first goal of the season at 9:12, and with Lucic scoring minutes later all three first-liners now have at least one point in each of the team's first four games.
The Bruins went 0-for-1 on the power play and are now 1-for-12 on the season. Tim Thomas saved all nine shots he faced, stopping a couple of large bids by the Capitals' high-powered offense. Michal Neuvirth stopped just five of the seven shots the Bruins had on him before he left the game.
Report: Marc Savard skates, says issues are not limited to PCS
|10.19.10 at 6:24 pm ET
While the rest of his teammates were in the nation's capital getting ready for Tuesday's tilt with the Capitals, Bruins center Marc Savard took the ice at Ristuccia Area as he continued his rehab from post-concussion syndrome related symptoms and depression.
Savard, who suffered a Grade 2 concussion from a Matt Cooke hit last March 7, spoke with ESPN's Joe McDonald following the 25-minute skate, saying that he has gone from 15 minute sessions to 20 minute sessions on the ice, to Tuesday's 25.
"I'm obviously feeling better because I'm out skating," Savard told McDonald. "That's good news, but I'm still definitely not 100 percent. I still have some issues, but a lot of them aren't from the injury. My head isn't screwed up after I work out right now. Obviously, there are other ongoing issues."
The other ongoing issues to which Savard refers presumably includes depression, which is among the non-physical symptoms of PCS. Savard told McDonald that he would rather not comment on whatever depression he may be experiencing, calling it "the toughest thing to talk about."
"I'm obviously still having some issues with that, but being around the guys, and getting the doctor's help that I'm getting, things are going up," Savard said. "I still have my down days, that's for sure, but I'm getting by."
Savard also told McDonald that he appreciated the kind words from Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, who called him "one of the best playmakers" in the game and said that he couldn't play because of Cooke's "stupid, smartass hit."
Given that Savard is on long-term injured reserve, he cannot play in the first 10 games of the season, and a timetable for his return remains unknown.

Last year ended with a bang on the FCPA front, with the announcement of two large settlements. The settlements took the U.S. government's collection for FCPA penalties and disgorgement in 2011 over the half-billion dollar mark for the fourth year in a row. The settlements provide cautionary tales for business conduct and accounting. With the government on a sustained FCPA enforcement push, we expect to see more of the same in 2012.
On December 20, the SEC announced a $14 million settlement with Aon Corporation for failing to keep accurate books and records regarding payments to and for the benefit of foreign officials, and failing to devise and maintain adequate internal controls. Aon had to disgorge $11.4 million in what the SEC called "ill-gotten gains" (presumably the premiums on policies that Aon obtained or retained because of its payments) and prejudgment interest (of more than $3 million). The same day, the DOJ announced that Aon would pay a $1.76 million penalty to resolve FCPA violations stemming from payments in Costa Rica that also were a subject of the SEC action.

(v/o) JIM KEANE
This is the Morgan Park Boys and Girls Club. We're an after school youth development organization. We take care of children ages six to eighteen…
Jim Keane: …in those vulnerable after school hours, which are by far the most risky hours of the day in terms of violence, in terms of gang activity. They come into the club it's a safe haven, safe physically, but also safe emotionally. It's a game changer for kids. They gain more of those skills to succeed in life, and our goal, our mission is to enable these children to reach their full potential. We wouldn't be able to do the mission we have, or to serve kids we serve or to keep growing that daily attendance without Bank of America's support.
Julie Chavez: We've had a long relationship with the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago for decades. They have a strong history of being, really, in the right place at the right time for these youths. Recently the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago has been host organization for the bank of America Student Leader intern program. Unemployment is really high for teens, so the student leader program offers an employment experience. They're eight week paid summer internships, so these are real jobs.
Jim Keane: Students are exposed at a leadership level, so they're not just doing a job that someone tells them to do they're really participating.
Antwan Gallion: I wanted to be a role model and guide someone instead of just work and get a paycheck.
Deborah Smiley: These children need us the most. They need great mentors in their life leading them in the right path so eventually they'll be able to become the lawyers and the doctors.
Julie Chavez: Bank of America recognizes that youths are stakeholders in the success of our communities. They're going to be our future business leaders, they're gonna be our future civic and community and government leaders.
Jarrel Washington: It's very important that we have role models for these kids. This internship really instilled in us how much we matter and what you contribute to your community and society matters
Julie Chavez: Organizations like the boys and girls club help us open the door of opportunity for our kids and make Chicago a better place to live and work.

Presumed 400-foot Fall Kills Man in Zion National Park
A 48-year-old man has been killed in Zion National Park, apparently the victim of a 400-foot fall from the Canyon Overlook near Zion Tunnel.
Park officials say the man's body was found this morning. The victim's name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The incident is under investigation by the Washington County Sheriff's Office in cooperation with the National Park Service. An investigation is standard procedure for fatalities in the park.
Rangers on patrol in the park discovered a vehicle parked overnight at the Canyon Overlook Trail parking area east of the Zion Tunnel. A search for the occupant or occupants of the vehicle began yesterday.
The location of the body, at the base of the Great Arch, would indicate that the man fell from Canyon Overlook. Canyon Overlook is a popular viewpoint overlooking Pine Creek and Zion Canyon in Zion National Park.
More information on this incident will be released once the investigation is complete and the victim's family has been notified.
It appears to me, and I have no facts or figures to support my thinking, that there seems to be more visitor deaths at Zion than other parks.

For most of us, breaking out the Xbox (or Wii, Playstation, Colecovision, etc.) and indulging in a few, uh, wheatgrass shots falls squarely under the heading of "slacking off"—for XV, however, it's research. Premiered last week on Hot97, the lead single off the Booth favorite's long, long-awaited Everybody's Nobody mixtape finds him taking inspiration from bestselling 360 title Mirror's Edge, relating the hit platformer's free-running action to his quest for musical superstardom. Frequent production collaborator Seven's dreamy synth-piano instrumental is more than a little reminiscent of the spacey, ambient tunes Solar Fields composed for MA's score, but Pac-Man Fever this ain't—the Wichita rapper's bouncy delivery is in full effect as he once again addresses the pressures of life in the spotlight, and, though his lyrical reflections are a little more diffuse than they were on the mixtape's title track and the previously-featured Something Better, Mirror's Edge fits with the project's overarching theme without sacrificing pop appeal. Everybody's Nobody has yet to receive a solid release date, but this single has every chance of speeding up the process; in any case, keep it locked to the Booth for further details.

Chennai City Police feels it is already a little late for them to have introduced the tenant verification process, but other cities where this rule is already being enforced have seen mixed results.
For instance Mumbai, where the rule was introduced almost a decade ago, has seen it being quite successfully implemented. Rajneesh Seth, Joint Commissioner (law and order), Mumbai police, says the response has really been good and the compliance is almost 95 per cent, especially in the western suburbs, where most houses are let out on rent.
According to many Mumbaikars, it has become a community-driven initiative where even housing societies require you to submit a verification form before letting out a house. The process requires both the tenant and the landlord to go to the police station to submit the form. "Most new tenants know about it so the process goes on, but there is not much check on the older tenants," says R. Rajanay Padhye, a resident of Matunga. In cities such as Pune, a lawyer's approval is also required on the verification form.
However, the case is quite different in Bangalore. Last November, after the twin blasts at Chinnaswamy stadium, Bangalore police enforced the rule under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, commonly used to impose prohibition orders.
Tenants are required to submit a copy of rental or lease agreement along with passports, contact numbers, order of appointment and their official identity document to the landlords.
House-owners who do not collect these details could be punished under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, which attracts a month's simple imprisonment or fine or both.
This enabled the police to issue orders to landlords, asking them to provide information about tenants and, in case they are foreign nationals, a copy of the passport, travel documents and purpose of stay.
The rule was first introduced in 2006 and then in 2008, but hit a dead end each time. "Only a few of us complied with the registration. The number of tenants has increased so much that it is almost impossible to keep a check on them, especially because they keep changing. There is not much enforcement too," says Ruchika Agarwal, a resident of Bangalore who lets out her house to a group of working women.
Naveen Shetty, a Bangalore-based lawyer, recalls the fact that there was a similar order invoked as early as in 1991 when some suspects in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case were hiding in Bangalore.
"There is always a need for an exercise to track suspicious behaviour but landlords cannot be forced to do anything like this, particularly furnishing phone numbers of tenants. There is always a possibility that they can get into the wrong hands," he says.
States including Gujarat and Haryana have voluntary registration of tenants, while Delhi Police has made the enforcement stricter over the past last few years. "The registration started a decade ago as an anti-terror measure but then awareness camps for landlords were organised, door-to-door drives conducted, and a few years ago, quite a few were prosecuted for housing anti-social elements," says a senior Delhi Police official.
