It's nice to see that skinners can think of something other than a bar at the left and a bar at the bottom.
Well done!
It shouldn't be too hard to convert into a resolution independent theme.

Windy weather and standing corn put a damper on the opening of Minnesota's firearms deer season this past weekend. The DNR says the harvest for the first three days was down 8% from 2012. Hunters registered just over $77,000 deer from Saturday through Monday. Wildlife officials say that it's not surprising, however. Last year's opening weekend weather was almost ideal and the corn harvest was nearly complete. This year there were winds up to 30 miles-per-hour and more hiding places in pockets of unharvested corn. The deer harvest was down 19% in the northeast, 4% in the southeast and 6% for the rest of Minnesota. The DNR still expects a final tally similar to 2012, when hunters killed around 185,000 deer.

Spotting market rotation in a timely fashion is difficult.
If your conclusion comes too late, it might be accurate but not actionable. If your conclusion comes too early, it might be actionable but dead wrong.
The difficulties are compounded because the whole exercise is more art than science. Yet, you can minimize the guesswork with a regular rotation-spotting drill.
IBD and Investors.com include a number of features that can give students of the stock market useful tools for spotting rotation. Let's look at how you might use IBD in a rotation-spotting drill. For a concrete example, we'll use Monday's Dec. 2 issue of IBD.
Pages B1, B4, B6, The IBD 50: What sectors do most of the leaders come from? The medical sector accounted for 12 names, finance seven, and consumer and leisure five each.
The sector with the most names isn't necessarily the best place to look for buys. Many medical stocks are extended.
B7, Stocks On the Move: This list has been quiet recently. But on strong market days, you can look for breakouts, or stocks rising in heavy volume. Make note of what sectors they hail from.
B8, New Highs: For a fifth straight day, the bank sector led with 47 new highs. The bank sector broke a long run of new high leadership from medical stocks.
B10, Market Pulse: Take a look at the stocks moving up or down in volume. Note any repetition from a specific sector.
Top 40 Industry Groups: You scan this listing from several angles. For now, the list generally confirms the leadership from medical and finance. However, several groups that weren't in the top 40 six weeks ago — such as Retail-Restaurants and Apparel-Shoes & Related — are now there.
B11, Sector Leaders: The medical sector accounts for four of the 16 Sector Leaders. The financial and Internet sectors have three each.
The Smart Tables: Stock listings are arranged by the performance of the 33 sectors. As of Monday, the top five sectors were Internet, aerospace, office, leisure and finance.
B13, Stock Spotlight: This screen of 16 stocks often identifies top performers early. Medical grabs three places, but the software sector also has three.
B16, Top Fidelity Sector Funds: Year to date, the leaders are biotechnology and health care.
Top Sector ETFs: Solar and alternative energy take the top two spots here.
Groups With Best Percentage of New High Stocks: Medical-Wholesale Drugs and Building-Mobile/Manufacturing & RVs lead the pack.
B18, Major World Markets : The map can tell you something about rotation. Some countries make their living off commodities. Others are more consumer-oriented. The top performers now are the U.S., Germany and Japan.
B19, The Market Indexes table: The top four performers since Jan. 1 are starred. As of Monday's IBD, the leaders were U.S. Defense, New America, New Issues and Insurance. Over the past three months, U.S. Defense, New America, Dow Jones Transports and New Issues excelled.
Make this a daily drill, and eventually it will prove useful. The key is to look at this over time and let it percolate. Try not to force conclusions; aim to see and recognize only what emerges.
While fundamentals drive stock prices, strong full-year profit estimates are another key barometer of a stock's potential. Growth stocks should have an earnings per share growth estimate of at least 15% for the current full year, although a number of leading names are often expected to show ...
Research shows that earnings are a key driver in a stock's performance. Consider this finding in "How to Make Money in Stocks" by IBD founder William J. O'Neil: "In our models of the 600 best-performing stocks from 1952 to 2001, three out of four showed earnings increases averaging more than 70% in ...
One of the most tempting things to do is buy a stock that's in a good technical setup ahead of earnings. Top fundamentals? Check. Sound chart? Check. Signs of institutional buying in recent days and weeks? Check. What's not to like? The market seems to expect a solid report, so why not buy? If ...
Buying a stock during earnings season can be good, bad or somewhere in between. In other words, it's very unpredictable. First, it's hard to know whether the company will beat, miss or meet analyst forecasts. And second, it may be even more difficult to guess how shares will react to the report. To ...
IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil likes to credit the writings of stock market legend Jesse Livermore for teaching him this lesson: Your objective in the market is not simply to be right, but to make big money when you're right. That comes down to having a big position in a winning stock. ...
Investor's Business Daily provides exclusive stock lists, investing data, stock market research, education and the latest financial and business news to help investors make more money in the stock market. All of IBD's products and features are based on the CAN SLIM® Investing System developed by IBD's Founder William J. O'Neil, who identified the seven common characteristics that winning stocks display before making huge price gains. Each letter of CAN SLIM represents one of those traits.

Dan Haren has turned his season around for the Nationals
Aug 21, 2013, 12:46 PM EDT
It's probably too late to do the Nationals much good, but Dan Haren has turned his season around in a big way following a miserable start.
Haren signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Nationals after the Angels declined his $15.5 million option, buying him out for $3.5 million instead. He was coming off multiple injuries and needed to re-establish his value, but through the end of June he was 4-9 with a 6.15 ERA and league-high 19 homers allowed. Then he spent two weeks on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation.
And he's been fantastic since coming off the DL. Haren tossed six innings of one-run ball against the Cubs last night, giving him a 2.16 ERA and 50/10 K/BB ratio in 50 innings since early July. He's allowed just four homers in eight starts during that span while holding opponents to a sub-.200 batting average.
Haren's season totals may not end up looking particularly impressive because of the rough start, but if he can keep pitching like this for the final six weeks he'll be in line for a nice payday as a 33-year-old free agent. And that possibility was no doubt a big part of why he signed a one-year deal.
- hoopmatch - Aug 21, 2013 at 2:26 PM
Pass the face, Jayson.
- jarathen - Aug 22, 2013 at 8:02 AM
Even with his troubles the Angels have egg on their face with this one. They could've added a couple million more to pay Haren for one year over what they paid Blanton.
And Blanton still has another year left. Ugh.
One wonders what the team could have been like with Haren and, say, Lohse or Liriano over Blanton and Hanson.

A California classic, Hess Collection makes the kind of chardonnay that put California on the white wine map: Big, intense, rich with a long, crowd-pleasing finish. The 2001 vintage began with a hard frost at exactly the worst time, just as the first buds were starting to grow. The crop was reduced by half, but what was left (though small) produced a wine with extreme intensity. The grapes were hand-harvested and hand-sorted and then fermented in 90% barrel and 10% stainless steel. Aging progressed in one-third new French barrels and two-thirds one-year-old barrels. Aromas include orange zest, lemon, and apricot with floral notes creeping in. The palate is full but with ample acidity to balance. With a rich, custard-like finish. .

With a bottle of bubbly and cheers from the crowd, the US Navy christened its newest submarine in October 2012.

PRESIDENT SHIMON PERES in a selfie with US Ambassador Dan Shapiro and his wife, Julie Fisher..
(photo credit:KOBI GIDEON/GPO)
More often than not, dignitaries who visit Beit Hatfutsot – The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, are presented with some kind of souvenir of their visit – sometimes a family tree – which is a very emotional experience for them.In the case of Malcolm Hoenlein, CEO and executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, it was the other way around. Hoenlein, the son of German-Jewish immigrants to the US, came to Beit Hatfutsot to present Dr. Meir Schwartz's book, Pogrom Night 1938: A Memorial to the Destroyed Synagogues of Germany, a two-volume work documenting 1,500 German synagogues that were burned on Kristallnacht in November 1938.Hoenlein followed Schwartz throughout his research and assisted in the book's publication, largely because of his own family history. His father, Efraim, a graduate of the Wurzburg Rabbinical Seminary, managed to escape to the US in 1940 where he was reunited with Hoenlein's mother, who had fled three years earlier.Hoenlein became involved with the book project from its inception, not only because of his family background but also due to the pronounced importance of documenting this dark chapter in German- Jewish history, and in recognition of the contribution of his own family to the reconstruction of the synagogue in the town of Ermreuth.This past May, a special event was held in the US Congress to mark the book's publication.The launch was held in the presence of representatives of the Foreign Committees of the US Congress and of the German Parliament, as well as representatives of the Jewish leadership in the US.Hoenlein, who frequently travels between the US and Israel, came on this occasion to present the book not only to Beit Hatfutsot, but also to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is known to be a history buff – a genetic factor that he inherited from his late father, Benzion, who was a professional, world-renowned historian.The book is indeed a labor of love and commitment to memorializing a once-glorious past. Schwartz, who spent more than 15 years researching the contents of the book, has faithfully documented the events of Kristallnacht, including tales about the synagogues and the communities they served. In this he was greatly encouraged by Hoenlein, who wanted the world to know not just how the Jews of Germany died during the Holocaust, but how they lived before, during and after it.It was a natural choice for him, he said, to present the book to Beit Hatfutsot, which though not an academic institution, documents and tells the story of the Jewish people.Standing alongside the model of the Worms Synagogue, founded in 1034 and burned together with so many other synagogues in Germany on Kristallnacht, Hoenlein commented that history is about the future, not about the past."Beit Hatfutsot is home to the world-famous collection of synagogue models," said museum CEO Dan Tadmor."We have learned that every synagogue tells the story of a community, whether it still exists or not. This extensive book brings back to life not only 1,500 synagogues, but 1,500 Jewish communities."While in Israel on this occasion, Hoenlein also attended the American Independence Day reception hosted by US Ambassador Dan Shapiro and his wife, Julie Fisher, and the gala opening of the Jerusalem Waldorf Astoria.■ WHILE ON the subject of destroyed synagogues, one was recently restored in what is among the most unlikely of places – Beirut. The Magen Abraham Synagogue in downtown Beirut was built in 1925, and in its heyday was one of 16 synagogues in Lebanon's capital. The synagogue was seriously damaged during the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War, with additional damage inadvertently caused by an Israeli bombardment during the First Lebanon War.Magen Abraham is the main Jewish house of prayer in Beirut, and was once in the heart of the city's Jewish Quarter.Although Lebanon's Jewish community has diminished greatly over the years, with the majority of its Jewish expatriates now living in France as well as other parts of Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and of course Israel, there are still several dozen Jewish families living in Lebanon.The Jews of Lebanon are among the country's 17 recognized faiths, and live there relatively undisturbed. Restoration and renovation of the ruined synagogue began in 2009 with the blessing of the Lebanese government, local planning authorities and even Hezbollah, whose leaders said they had nothing against Jews and their quarrel was with Israel. The $2 million restoration project was funded by Lebanese Jews living in London, Geneva, Milan and New York. Indirect aid also came from Israel, whose Lebanese expatriates are the only ones who will be unable to visit Magen Abraham.Among the Israelis who view the synagogue with nostalgia is former ambassador to Egypt Itzhak Levanon, who was born in Beirut, spent his childhood there and had his bar mitzva at Magen Abraham.He is the son of Mossad agent Shula Kushak-Cohen, a Jerusalem-born Lebanese socialite who was arrested for spying for Israel.Cohen, an agent from 1947 to 1961, was instrumental in enabling hundreds of Syrian and Iraqi Jews to make their way from Lebanon to Israel. She found numerous escape routes for them by land, sea and air, and persuaded Lebanese officials to work for Israeli intelligence. She was the fourth of 12 siblings, and was married off at age 16 to a man 20 years her senior.Her life as a spy for Israel began by accident, when she overheard a few peddlers talking about some Syrian military activity. She passed the information on to the Hagana and was recruited soon after. Following her arrest in August 1961, Cohen was originally sentenced to be hung, but the court decided to be lenient in view of the fact that she was a mother of seven children, commuting the sentence to 20 years of hard labor.In July 1953 she appealed the severity of her sentence, and as a result had it reduced to seven years.After the Six Day War in 1967, Israel was holding several Lebanese citizens and entered into an exchange agreement whereby they were returned to Lebanon, and Cohen and two other Israelis were returned to Israel. She crossed the border at Rosh Hanikra and the rest of her family flew to Nicosia, and from there to Israel. In April 2007, she was given the honor of lighting one of the Independence Day beacons.For her son Levanon, there was a particular honor in being appointed Israel's ambassador to Egypt. His maternal grandfather, Meir Arazi Cohen, had been born in Egypt to a wealthy Jewish family – so in a sense, his stay in Egypt was a return to roots.■ ALTHOUGH THE Waldorf Astoria, the new jewel in the crown of Jerusalem's hotel industry, has been operating for more than two months, quite a number of the 700 people who attended the spectacular official opening this week were taking their first steps into luxury on an international scale.Luxury means different things to different people.Certainly few Jews and no Israelis would be happy about being served paper-thin cucumber sandwiches at Buckingham Palace. Extravagance to Jews is not only a matter of external surroundings, but internal consumption.We're a people that likes to eat – and the chefs at the Waldorf Astoria certainly catered to that need. Food islands with a sumptuous array of fish, meat and vegetable dishes lined the walls most of the way around the Palace Grand Ballroom, and the food was not only plentiful but decidedly pleasant to the palate.In a sense, it was a showcase for anyone who might be planning a wedding or a bar mitzva. So much to taste – though most people did more than just taste. The lamb chops, which had particular appeal for the writer of this column due to her Australian background, were the softest and most succulent she had eaten outside of the land of her birth.Naturally, the Reichmann family which owns the hotel was well-represented, and the near-finished product was indeed a credit to the vision of the late Paul Reichmann, who died last October – when much of the renovation work on what was initially the stunning Palace Hotel had been completed.The overall guest list went from three year olds to nonagenarians, and the dress code went from super-casual to ultra-formal. The kashrut standards were impeccable.How could one tell? By watching what the large number of haredi guests put on their plates.A conversation piece for anyone who went into the business section was the meeting rooms named for the Twelve Tribes. Shimon and Reuven are next to each other, symbolizing not only the sons of Jacob and the scattered remnants of the Children of Israel, but also the outgoing and incoming presidents of Israel.Not all the guests were Jewish.Prominent among the non-Jews was a small delegation from the Greek Patriarchate, headed by Greek Patriarch Theophilos III, who has struck up a warm friendship with Simon Vincent, president of Europe, Middle East and Africa, and executive vice president of Hilton Worldwide.The two spent quite a long time in conversation.After welcoming the guests, Waldorf Astoria general manager Guy Klaiman stood back for the screening of greetings by general managers of Waldorf Astoria hotels around the world, who welcomed the Jerusalem hotel to the family. John Vanderslice, global head of Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts, was on-hand in the flesh. He reminded everyone present that the Jerusalem facility, in its original incarnation, had opened as a deluxe hotel even before the Waldorf Astoria Park Avenue, the second hotel in the chain, which was opened in October 1931 and was then the tallest and largest hotel in the world.Oded Lifshitz, Hilton Worldwide's area vice president for the UK and Israel, and one of the greatest Israeli success stories in the international hotel business, has never visited Jerusalem as frequently while rising in the Hilton ranks. A native son of Jerusalem, he went from the original Jerusalem Hilton to the Tel Aviv Hilton, then to the Sydney Hilton. He was subsequently stationed in Japan, where as the Tokyo-based vice president of Hilton international operations he was responsible for Japan, Korea and Micronesia. Currently headquartered in the UK, he frequently commutes between England and Israel, and of course heads for Jerusalem and a breath of home.Another Hilton veteran who worked with Lifshitz in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv is Motti Verses, head of public relations for Hilton hotels in Israel.Verses will soon become immersed in the planning of the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Tel Aviv Hilton, which will mark its jubilee in September 2015.For Charley Levine, who is responsible for international public relations for the Waldorf Astoria, and his wife, Shelly, a successful real estate agent, the grand opening of the hotel was an extension of their 40th wedding anniversary celebration. The couple had taken time out of their high-pressure professions to go to China, and had returned only that afternoon.Others mingling in the huge ballroom included retired diplomat Gideon Meir; Pamela and Abba Claman of Jerusalem's Old City, whose lives are largely dedicated to the IDF soldiers they host regularly in their beautiful home; Bonnie and Alan Cohen of David's Village, who are both students and patrons of Aish HaTorah and provide scholarships for students at Aish and its sister facility for women, EYAHT; travel agent Yossi Weiss; Thai Ambassador Jukr Boon-long and his wife, Kamolrat; Scrabble champion Pamela Loval and her husband, Werner, who in addition to being one of Jerusalem's most successful real estate agents, pioneered many projects in the city; and Nitzan Chen, head of the Government Press Office.Entertainment was provided by David D'Or, who started off with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," the song he sang last year for US President Barack Obama, then veered into "Jerusalem of Gold" and wound up with "Caruso," the song written by Lucio Dalla and made famous by Luciano Pavarotti. D'Or was followed by highly talented klezmer violinist Sanya Kroitor, who had the crowd clapping along with his spirited performance.■ THE HEARTS of the nation and those who live among us have been torn in many directions in recent weeks. The intensified barrage of rockets from Gaza aimed at cities, towns, kibbutzim and moshavim in the South, and the call from many quarters for tough retaliation, brings with it the fear of yet another war – with more death and maiming on both sides of the border. Yet not to respond is unthinkable, when so many Israelis are being targeted.Even though the damage has been more to property than to people, none of us can tell the extent of another's trauma. The residents of Sderot, which has been the main recipient of Gazan missiles, have shown remarkable stoicism, but how much longer must they live in an aura of fear? With the shadow of grief at the murders of Naftali Fraenkel, Eyal Yifrah and Gil- Ad Shaer still hanging heavily over the nation came the shocking revelation that Jews were responsible for the cruel murder of Muhammad Abu Khdeir. Before the identities of his inhumane killers were known, US Ambassador Shapiro, at the Fourth of July reception he hosted a day early, dwelt momentarily on all four murders at the outset of his remarks, and announced that as a sign of respect to the nation in mourning there would be no fireworks this year.Shapiro began his address on a somber note, saying that a mother should never have to mourn the death of her son, nor a nation bury her children. Shapiro advocated resisting the urge to channel pain and anguish into violence and retribution. He assured the hundreds of guests crowded onto his lawn that "the American people stand with the people of Israel in their time of mourning," but then made the point that "it is an American and an Israeli trait, even in the midst of sorrow, to find cause to celebrate and move forward."And so the evening continued with mutual platitudes. It had been preceded by some great music provided by two jazz bands – one from the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, the other the US Air Force Afterburner Rock Band – and amazing renditions of the national anthems by Cantor Tamar Havilio and Ori Shakiv.Earlier in the evening, a giant video screen enabled anyone who was interested to witness the arrival of guests as they shook hands or hugged Shapiro and his wife, Julie, and subsequently posed for photos with them before coming out to join the throng.There seemed to be fewer government ministers than in previous years, but spotted among the faces in the crowd were former ambassadors to the US Itamar Rabinovich and Michael Oren; mega-philanthropists Sheldon and Dr. Miriam Adelson; IDF Chief of Staff Lt.- Gen. Benny Gantz and his predecessor Gabi Ashkenazi; MKs Amram Mitzna and Meir Sheetrit; Indian restaurateurs Reena and Vinod Pushkarna; Regional Cooperation Minister Silvan Shalom; former Foreign Ministry chiefs of protocol Mordechai Palzur and Yitzhak Eldan, who has just been elected to the board of governors of the Jewish Agency; US Reps. from Florida Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Republican) and Ted Deutch (Democrat); hi-tech entrepreneur Yossi Vardi; Rabbi Michael Melchior, a leading international figure in interfaith dialogue; Ruti Wasserman-Lande, deputy director-general for international affairs at the Union of Local Authorities; Israel Museum Director James Snyder; and many others.The invitation gave guests the option of business or casual attire and while many men sweltered in business suits, Mitzna and Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz opted for sports shirts sans jacket and tie. Shimon Peres was appearing for the last time at an American Independence Day reception in the role of president, though he will undoubtedly be invited again every year for the rest of his life. He will also be making a similar adieu next week at the Bastille Day reception hosted by French Ambassador Patrick Maisonneuve.At the American reception, Peres said he has known 10 sitting US presidents, from John F. Kennedy onwards. His personal acquaintance with the presidents of France is almost on par, but time-wise goes back even further, starting with Charles de Gaulle – though his greatest personal friendship was with François Mitterrand, who once delayed having surgery because Peres was coming to dinner.Both Peres and Prime Minister Netanyahu heaped praise on Shapiro, describing him as an excellent ambassador.Indeed, because of his fluency in Hebrew and Arabic and his well-rounded Jewish education – including the ability to read from the Torah – Shapiro fits comfortably into any sector of society in Israel, and there were many video clips of his travels throughout the country that proved the extent to which he has integrated into all strata of society.Peres, as he tends to do on such occasions, dwelt on what America has given the world and talked a little about history, causing Netanyahu to remark: "President Peres, when you talk about history, you need to add that you are a part of that history."■ BESTSELLING ISRAELI author Amos Oz is somehow overlooked time and again by the jury of the Nobel Prize in Literature, but he is highly valued by the American Association of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev – which has established the Amos Oz Initiative for Literature and Culture.Oz, who in addition to all his other roles is a professor emeritus at BGU, has lived for many years in Arad. The multi-year program for the initiative, made possible by funding provided by Toni and Stuart B. Young of Wilmington, Delaware, will enrich the community's engagement in literature and culture while providing a forum for discussion and learning with students and faculty, to strengthen and educate communities and development towns in southern Israel."I am a writer, and I believe literature is a great way to communicate and better understand what makes a society function," said Toni Young. "We've always wanted to do more for the people of Arad, and we believe the Amos Oz Initiative will help the city while also promoting BGU's Hebrew literature program."The initiative will include an annual conference on literature and culture in Arad, research prizes and additional programming to foster a greater connection between BGU and the Arad community.BGU's Department of Hebrew Literature and Heksherim: The Research Institute for the Study of Jewish and Israeli Literature and Culture will implement the email@example.com

text: Benefits 2011 Health Cost Hikes Highest in Five Years By Fred Schneyer firstname.lastname@example.com | September 27, 2010 Page 1 of 3 View Full Article September 27, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Employers can expect an average 8.8% health coverage increase in 2011, up from 6.9% in 2010 and the highest level in five years, according to an analysis by Hewitt Associates. A Hewitt news release said the estimate was driven by recent higher medical claim costs, an aging population, and changes brought about by health care reform.According to the news release, the average total health care premium per employee for large companies will be $9,821 in 2011, up from $9,028 in 2010. The amount employees will be asked to contribute toward this cost is $2,209, or 22.5% of the total health care premium. This is up 12.4 % from 2010, when employees contributed $1,966, or 21.8% of the total health care premium. Hewitt said average employee out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles, are expected to be $2,177 in 2011—a 12.5% increase from 2010 ($1,934). According to the analysis, these projections mean that in a decade, total health care premiums will have more than doubled, from $4,083 in 2001 to $9,821 in 2011. Employees' share of medical costs—including employee contributions and out-of-pocket costs—will have more than tripled, from $1,229 in 2001 to $4,386 in 2011. According to Hewitt, a variety of factors are driving the increase in projected health care cost increases for 2011. Employers are seeing an increase in the amount of charges and frequency of catastrophic claims - particularly true today, as slower levels of hiring have left employers with slightly older workforces who are more prone to costly medical conditions. Hewitt estimates that the most immediate applications of health care reform—including covering dependents to age 26 and the elimination of certain lifetime and annual limits—contributed approximately 1% to 2% of the 8.8% projected increase for 2011. "After 18 months of waiting for health care reform to play out, employers find themselves in a very challenging cost position for 2011," said Ken Sperling, Hewitt's health care practice leader, in the news release. "Reform creates opportunities for meaningful change in how health care is delivered in the U.S., but most of these positive effects won't be felt for a few years. In the meantime, employers continue to struggle to balance the significant health care needs of an aging workforce with the economic realities of a difficult business environment."

MELBOURNE HAS pooled its Shabbos Project efforts with Tel Aviv..
(photo credit:ELKE MOSHEL)
The countdown commences
In the buildup to The International Shabbos Project, we will be bringing you profiles on some of the 170 locations taking part in this global event.You'll hear how they started, what they've done so far and what they envision for the big Shabbat of October 24/25 2014. Our first stop is Melbourne, Australia.The International Shabbos Project has been called "the most ambitious Jewish identity initiative ever undertaken."The objective is to have "one Shabbat celebrated – and kept in full – across the Jewish world, by the entire Jewish people, at the same time."And if this sounds vaguely impossible, nobody seems to have told the head team in Johannesburg, South Africa, who since February have been working round the clock, organizing logistics, creating and refining marketing materials, building partner networks, securing international celebrity endorsements and coordinating the global initiative.Over the past few months, nearly 1000 partners from 170 cities and 30 countries have joined together, working diligently to see that The Shabbos Project reaches the entire Jewish world. A task once thought impossible is starting to look feasible.First up is a report on Melbourne. Melbourne, capital of the state of Victoria and second largest city in Australia, is also home to Australia's largest Jewish community.Its history goes back to the late 1700's when twelve Jewish convicts stepped off the boat from Britain. Despite a somewhat inauspicious start, Jewish life in the city took off during Victoria's 1850s gold rush, and succeeding waves of immigration from Eastern and Western Europe and North Africa further swelled the numbers.Today, Melbourne's Jewish community numbers around 60,000.The city is known as one of the most staunchly Zionist and proudly traditional locations in the diaspora, with a thriving network of Jewish communal and social welfare organizations, many kosher establishments, dozens of synagogues and nine Jewish day schools.Rabbi Moshe Kahn is one of the many Chabad emissaries who have been instrumental in sustaining Melbourne's strong Jewish heartbeat.For the past 15 years, Kahn, with his wife Dina, has spearheaded the Chabad Youth education center and run Jewish outreach and identity programmes for both school kids and students across the city.Kahn decided to join the Shabbos Project after finding a video on YouTube that showcased last year's successful pilot in South Africa. The video captured the deep emotions felt by individuals across the spectrum of Jewish differences in the community.(the video is available for viewing at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=xhfe-MZcCjE) "My immediate thought was '[what a] great initiative – an ideal way to break down barriers between Jews of different persuasions,' " said Rabbi Kahn."I thought about it some more and [concluded,] 'yes, from what I gather, the South African Jewish community is a fiercely traditional one – perhaps the ideal place to pilot such an initiative.' But I saw no reason why we wouldn't be able to replicate this success in Melbourne."Ours is a community hungry for Jewish identity and worthy Jewish unity initiatives, and I've no doubt Melbourne – like Johannesburg and Cape Town before [hand] – will embrace the Shabbos Project."A steering committee was established to oversee all Shabbos Project activities in Melbourne that includes prominent Melbourne community leaders, Simon De Winter, Velly Slavin, David Werdiger, Romi Szafran, Arieh Berlin and Dean Rzechta, and community rabbis Ralph Genende of Caulfield and Rabbi Chaim Cowen of Elstenwick to provide additional input.An assortment of passionate volunteers oversee multiple subcommittees dedicated to target audiences like Shuls, Youth Groups, Young Adults, Jewish Organisations and Schools. There are also teams dedicated to non-affiliated community members, rural areas outside Melbourne's Jewish hub and businesses.We managed to get buy-in from large Melbourne businesses, who are encouraged to manage work schedules so that Jewish employees are free to keep Shabbat that week."Our main goal is to reach all demographics, making sure no one is left out," says Solly Spiegler, who oversees rural Victoria activities.Other teams focus on Marketing, the Challah Bake, Havdalah Concert, Fundraising, Community engagement, General Event Co-ordination and Administration. All in all, over 40 volunteers are actively working on Shabbos Project activities in Melbourne, and more than 100 organisations have already signed up."The Shabbos Project is being presented as the first opportunity for the whole Melbourne Jewish community to unite across the board," says Simon De Winter, who co-chairs the Steering Committee and oversees the marketing team.The project "has stimulated the imagination of both community organizations and individuals.Even at this stage, our objective of 20,000 participants is looking eminently achievable."Connections with schools have been particularly successful. A team set up face-to-face meetings with school governing bodies and explained the Shabbos Project in detail. The response was very positive.Eight Melbourne schools have signed up for the Shabbos Project so far."Some will simply promote the Shabbos Project through school assemblies, celebrity endorsements and the distribution of marketing materials. Others will more actively involved, running events such as family dinners and Shabbatons," explains Danielle Glick of the Schools subcommittee. "Many schools will be incorporate lesson modules on Shabbat in the school curriculum during the build-up to the big Shabbat."The schools are such a key partner because the kids themselves can become ambassadors for the Shabbos Project – not with their peers and also at home with their families."Another objective is to reach people through shuls, youth groups and Jewish organisations. We're looking for individuals who don't keep Shabbos normally who are open to our idea and know enough about Shabbos to be interested from the outset.The Melbourne hub's Shabbos Project effort has drawn on research conducted by Professor Andrew Marcus of Monash University, who has studied Melbourne's Jewish community in-depth. His research, involving more than 6000 survey respondents, provides a detailed picture of contemporary Jewish life in the city."Professor Marcus's report has been an invaluable resource, helping us direct our efforts efficiently and effectively," says Justin Kabbani, one of the team's Marketing specialists. "He, himself, has been a source of counsel while we [were getting] this thing off the ground here in Melbourne.""Off the ground" is an understatement.Through focused, highly organized endeavours and tireless passion, Melbourne's Shabbos Project team primed the city for an explosive social movement much like the one in South Africa last year."Already, people everywhere are asking questions about the Shabbos Project, discussing it with their friends, expressing interest and excitement," says De Winter. "People are realizing that this is the chance to participate in something truly special."Kahn agrees."There can be no doubt the Shabbos Project has great potential," he says."The global scope of the initiative is hugely ambitious, but [judging] simply on the level of enthusiasm... in Melbourne so far, this is something that really... captures people's hearts."If there's one thing all Jews around the world can get behind, it's the Shabbos Project…" Sydney's Shabbos Project is also running at full tilt.

Alfredsson Has Advice For Emery
by Paul on 12/28/07 at 11:33 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
After swinging his goalie stick and sending some Gatorade bottles on the club's bench flying, Emery tossed his stick into the stands before heading to the dressing room.
Alfredsson said last night if Emery wants to get back in net he has to work harder in practice and earn a start from coach John Paddock because the current situation is frustrating for everyone involved.
"To get considered for a start, (the coaching staff) is looking for (Emery) to show that he wants to be in there," said Alfredsson, who didn't see the incident. "You have to work hard in practice to show that you want to play. That's what most players do when they're not playing and the goalies are no different."
added 12:42pm, via the Globe and Mail,
The Ottawa Senators held an open practice on Friday morning in Ottawa with only one goaltender on the ice.
Ray Emery, who ended Thursday morning's skate with an on-ice tantrum, was nowhere to be seen a day later. He was sent home by team officials after showing up at the rink.
added 12:50pm, from the Ottawa Sun,
"I told him to go home because he wasn't feeling good," said Senators coach John Paddock after practice. Paddock added he expects Emery to be back at practice on Saturday.

No More Whining

from Bruce Garrioch of the OTtawa Sun,
Senators coach John Paddock doesn't want to hear any more whining after the holidays.
Just before the Rangers game and the two-day break, Paddock confirmed that Ottawa players have been complaining about their role and ice time.
Paddock's had enough.
"Obviously there's players, and everybody should want to do more, but they think that they should contribute more offensively or think they can play with certain players or they deserve more ice time," said Paddock

The NHL season will begin with two matches between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Ottawa Senators at Stockholm's Globe Arena, according Eurosport's Swedish website.
The matches will be played next autumn, the reports say. In addition to the Globe matches, the Ottawa team will mean Swedish team Frölunda at Gothenburg's Scandinavium.
Globe Arena manager Maj-Britt Gustafsson Wallin did not deny the reports when contacted by Eurosport.

Sens Aren't Drawing On The Road

from the Ottawa Citizen,
Despite the fact they advanced to the Stanley Cup final last season and currently lead the Eastern Conference with a record of 22-7-3, the Senators are one of the worst road draws in the league, ranking 26th among 30 teams.
Jason Spezza isn't complaining, though. In fact, he suggests the small numbers almost make home-ice advantage meaningless.
"When you're on the road, you're never too worried about the crowd," said Spezza, currently on a torrid pace, with five goals and six assists in his past four games. "It works to our advantage if it's a dead building."

Hossa Has His Priorities

from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun,
"I've heard some rumours, but I don't pay too much attention to them," Hossa, who scored 188 goals in 467 games as a Senator from 1997-2004, told an audience of one following a workout.
"I'm here right now, and my focus is to help this team. Whatever happens, it's up to management and my agent.
"I feel comfortable here. It's a great place," he added. "The main thing is winning the hockey games and having a good team. That's my priority. I'm not rushing right now to sign a deal ... I want to know how the team is."

Schaefer Knew He Was On His Way Out In Ottawa

from the Ottawa Sun,
"I had little conflicts with Bryan Murray all last year," Schaefer said before last night's game against his former team. "Once John got fired and (Murray) became the GM, I pretty much knew I was going to be moved.
"At the end of year meeting, (Murray) told me he expected me to come back (this season) and have a good year. Two days later, he called me in Vancouver and told me I had been traded to Boston. I just chuckled and said thanks.
"I think it's a business and any time you tell someone one thing and something better comes along, you do it. There's no hard feelings against (Murray).
"At the same time, I'm probably not going to go and bake cupcakes with him at Christmas, either."

Senators Must Deal With Chara
by Paul on 12/18/07 at 09:48 AM ET

from the Ottawa Sun,
Now that he gets to a podium every day, Paddock takes any and all opportunities to sing the Big Zee's praises. And yesterday, with his team about to fly off to face Chara and the rejuvenated Bruins, a chance to belt out a new chorus presented itself.
Paddock pointed out the B's had "no defensive structure" last season, Chara's first in Beantown since losing to Redden in the Which One Do We Keep sweepstakes the John Muckler regime held in Ottawa.
"As wonderful a defensive player as he is, Zee couldn't do it by himself," Paddock said, adding that under Claude Julien's coaching, Chara is "back to being the type of player he was with us."

from TSN,
The team learned on Sunday that centre Mike Fisher, who suffered an oblique muscle injury Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers, is out for their two-game road swing through Boston and Atlanta this week.
Fisher, who was on a hot streak going into Saturday with three goals and five points in four games, joins a list of hurting regulars that includes winger Patrick Eaves (separated shoulder) and defenceman Anton Volchenkov (broken finger).
"It's a substantial loss," said Senators head coach John Paddock on Sunday.

Walker May Be Facing Suspension

from the News & Observer,
Scott Walker may be facing a suspension after the Carolina Hurricanes forward head-butted Ottawa Senators forward Mike Fisher in the face during a fight on Wednesday night.
After Walker collided with Senators goalie Martin Gerber early in the second period of Carolina's 6-0 loss, Fisher fought Walker and cut him under the left eye. Walker head-butted Fisher, earning a match penalty for attempt to injure. Fisher said he chipped one tooth and may have lost another.
Walker was ejected from the game and now faces an automatic review from the NHL.
"It was cheap. It caught me off guard," Fisher said. "I'm sure he will get some games for it. He ran the goalie. He made no attempt to get away, and I just wanted to let him know he can't do that."
Watch the video, scroll to just past the 2 minute mark to get a clear view of the head butt…

Emery Pays Tribute To Ali

from the Ottawa Citizen,
When Ray Emery unveiled his new helmet yesterday, the Ottawa Senators organization held its collective breath.
Memories are still fresh of the firestorm Emery ignited two seasons ago, when he briefly donned a helmet carrying images of convicted rapist Mike Tyson.
So a great sense of relief washed over everyone when Emery's new helmet was revealed to be carrying two images of The Greatest, Muhammad Ali, who was everything to boxing (and humanity) that Tyson wasn't.
continued... with picture.

Fast Nine shootout set for Indy 500 pole
May 18, 2013, 6:17 PM EDT
The final battle for the Indianapolis 500 pole will be an all-Chevrolet affair.
The "Bowtie Brigade" has taken charge of Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with all five Andretti Autosport drivers (Ryan Hunter-Reay, Carlos Munoz, Marco Andretti, E.J. Viso, Ryan Hunter-Reay), all three Team Penske drivers (Will Power, Helio Castroneves and A.J. Allmendinger), and owner/driver Ed Carpenter set to go for the pole at 6:30 p.m. ET. Those drivers will only get one qualifying attempt each in the Fast Nine showdown.
The fastest Honda belonged to Alex Tagliani of Barracuda-BHA, who will start 11th on Race Day in the middle of Row 4.
Will Power's (pictured) average of 228.844 miles per hour was more than enough to claim the top spot before the Fast Nine, with Hunter-Reay's speed of 228.282 good for second and Munoz's speed of 228.171 good for third in that period.
The final hour of qualifying saw some dramatic bumping as drivers aimed to lock themselves into the Top 24. In the end, the big heroes were NBC Sports Network's own Townsend Bell for Panther Racing and James Jakes of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, who both made the show in the final 10 minutes on their third and last attempts of the day.
Bell qualified 20th on his first attempt, but that was scratched in a bid to better his position. Unfortunately for him, the second attempt was slow enough to take him out of the field. But with 8:45 to go, Bell took the green flag on his third attempt and recovered the speed, posting a average of 225.643 mph — and knocking out Jakes and putting Josef Newgarden on the bubble.
The proverbial ball was then in Jakes' court, and the British driver took the green for his final attempt with less than four minutes to go. Jakes, whose first attempt was disqualified, put together a solid run of 225.809 mph across his four laps to knock out Newgarden, who could only watch as he was in the qualifying line behind multiple cars.
Also making the field late was Ryan Briscoe, who won the Indy pole last year with Team Penske but had to scrap to make the Top 24 today with Chip Ganassi Racing. Still, Briscoe made it in with an average of 225.265 mph on his final attempt.
Michel Jourdain Jr. was the final qualifier at the 6 p.m. end time, but was not fast enough to get into the field, allowing Simona de Silvestro to stay at the 24th position.

Joe Arpaio Says The President Should Thank Him Personally After Every Illegal Immigrant Roundup
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio took the stage today in an event hosted by the county's Republican Party, saying -- among other things -- that President Obama should thank him every time the sheriff's office goes on an
illegal-immigrant roundup "employer sanctions operation."
Arpaio didn't exactly stick with a topic during his 13 minutes on stage, covering everything from the investigation into the president's birth certificate, when he'll resign (never), the Republican primary, and of course, why he should be thanked for nabbing illegal immigrants.
"The president should be thanking me every time we raid a place," Arpaio said. "We remove illegal aliens; that makes another opening for U.S. citizens.
"How come the president doesn't thank me for doing what I can for the economy?" Arpaio continued. "I never get any thanks from the White House -- that's okay, it doesn't bother me."
Of course, that's the same president who's under "investigation" by Arpaio and the "birther" gang.
Arpaio said he took on the "investigation" into Obama's eligibility to be president because he was "doing him a favor" by intending to clear his name.
He didn't say which way the conclusion to that "investigation" is going to go, as we'll all have to wait for the results show on March 1.
Arpaio reiterated that he takes his job as sheriff "very seriously," and said he's not headlining the birth-certificate results show just for some media attention.
"I don't have press conferences just to get my name on television," Arpaio said, as we chuckled. "When i have a press conference, I talk about something."
Arpaio also briefly touched on the Justice Department report calling out the MCSO for racial profiling, saying they're only interested in him "because I'm enforcing the laws."
"[It's] okay," he said. "You don't see me losing any hair."
As for Arpaio's resignation -- he says it won't be coming until he's at least 1,000,079 years old.
"I have a lot of, uh, organizations that, uh, want me to resign," Arpaio said. "Uh, that's not gonna happen in a million years."
