Did Brooke Mueller test positive for drugs? Who is the love of Mindy Kaling's life? Does Jennifer Lawrence want to do five more Hunger Games films?
Did Brooke Mueller test positive for drugs? Who is the love of Mindy Kaling's life? Does Jennifer Lawrence want to do five more Hunger Games films?
It was about this time last year that America was caught up in the tiger-blod-soaked, warlock-populated insanity that was Charlie Sheen's extremely public meltdown. While the man has fortunately moved on, even landing new show Anger Management, the actor obviously hasn't forgotten The Dark Times either. "Clearly, a guy gets fired, his relationships are in the toilet, he's off on some f—ing tour, there's nothing 'winning' about any of that," Sheen told this month's Rolling Stone. "I mean, how does a guy who's obviously quicksanded, how does he consider any of it a victory? I was in total denial." He took the words right out of our mouth! Of course, Charlie's dismissal from Two and a Half Men and divorce from Brooke Mueller were only a few of the shocking parts of his crash, and nowhere near the craziest. The five most jaw-dropping moments of his breakdown (as we remember it) would have to be:
1. That coke-fueled hotel room trashing: The first and perhaps the most conspicuous event in Charlie's months-long meltdown was his October 2010 rampage through New York's Plaza Hotel, during which he ransacked his room and allegedly held porn star Capri Anderson against her will. If only we could have foreseen the absurdity to follow…
2. Jon Cryer beef: Sheen called his Two and a Half Men costar a "a troll" for a host of perceived slights. A completely uncalled for insult, but on the other hand, lol. Read more…
Where are they exactly? This photograph could be at any number of beachy, tropical resorts, but they're not telling. Charlie Sheen, his ex-wife Denise Richards and their kids Sam and Lola and Denise's adopted six month old baby girl Eloise are all enjoying themselves at a secret location right now. His other ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, is currently in rehab after being arrested for assault and drug possession, FYI. It's nice to see Charlie and Denise getting along because it got quite acrimonious — not to mention dysfunctional — there in the middle. The actor just tweeted this photograph, pictured above, of the family, that read, "what's better than a modern family vacation!?! love spending winter break w/ denise richards & my kids!" Whatever works, right?

Brooke Mueller's troubles with the law and with drugs are far from over. Charlie Sheen's ex was arrested in Aspen as the weekend rolled in, on counts of suspicion of felony cocaine possession and misdemeanor third-degree assault. She allegedly assaulted a woman at a nearby bar, and then carried on to a nightclub (ironically called Escobar) to party. That's where cops found her and dragged her out. Brooke was released on $11,000 bond the next day, which Sheen supposedly coughed up. Does this mean another round of rehab?
Remember when Brooke Mueller jetted to a Mexican rehab center last month? Turns out she only ended up spending 12 hours across the border before being scooped up by her ex, Charlie Sheen, who brought her back to the States via private jet. Confused? Yeah, so are we. This isn't exactly ex-husbandly behavior, but he's doing it anyway. In efforts to help her get clean, Charlie's spotting Brooke's new rehab treatment tab and it's the same one he went through a couple of months ago when his Two and a Half Men swansong had begun.
Apparently, Charlie was uncomfortable with Brooke's Mexican getting-clean program since it's so controversial, which is why he intervened. Brooke's is already at the facility and Charlie's monitoring and paying for the whole thing. Hey, they may not be together, but they do have children. If this mutual support system works even though they're not a couple any more,well, more power to them.
Brooke Mueller is off to rehab in Cancun, Mexico. She was spotted leaving L.A International Airport yesterday, after being discharged from a hospital on Monday post her alleged on-flight altercation last week. She was accompanied by her personal physician who's coming with her for the program which isn't a plush, celebrity holiday, as most soujourns in Cancun are. Brooke's determined to kick her drug habit for good this time round and is even willing to try out something called "ibogaine", which is illegal in the U.S,  for that purpose. That's the reason why she has to go across the border.
Ibogaine is an experimental treatment that is supposed to stop drug cravings. Here's the irony though — ibogaine itself is a hallucinogen. Her physician will be overseeing everything though, and it's been approved in Canada and other countries as well. A source reveals that, "Brooke is absolutely desperate. She wants to be sober, and she thinks that this could be just the thing that will do it. Brooke is aware of the dangers of ibogaine, but she is going to proceed anyway." Mueller's going to be in rehab for a week. We wish her well and hope it works out for her! Desperate times lead to desperate measures but you never know what'll do the trick. Her kids are being watched by their aunt and nanny, in case you were wondering.
They say every cloud has a silver lining, but who would have thought that lining would consist of a healthier relationship with Charlie Sheen? Let's discuss the cloud part first , shall we? Earlier this week Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller got into a fight with the crew on a flight from L.A. to Cancun; the battle began when a flight attendant told Mueller she couldn't use the bathroom during takeoff. It's not certain whether Mueller was kicked off the plane or left of her own volition, but one thing is clear: a belligerent Brooke Mueller trying desperately to get into a bathroom isn't a good look, if you get our drift.
In less depressing news, sources say Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are allegedly on speaking terms again, after months of dramatic declarations and near custody battles. "They're not together, they're not hanging out regularly, but they have been talking," a source told E! "Brooke went over to his house once and they talked about everything, mainly the kids. They are back on talking terms, that's it. They are not back together in any sense other than sharing kids together." As long as Charlie doesn't stop Brooke from using the facilities, we bet these two will stay on decent terms. Oh, who are we kidding? That whole mansion must be like one giant bathroom, if you're picking up what we're putting down.

Remember how Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller went back to rehab in April after she was spotted pawning jewelry in California? Well, Mueller and twins Bob and Max are on vacation in Maui this week, and TMZ has photos of Brooke wandering around alone in a cap and sweats, chatting outside of cars driven by skeevy young men, with a wad of cash in her hand. While it's circumstantial evidence at best, if we'd just left rehab after a custody battle with a famous sitcom star, we'd probably avoid providing the paparazzi with photos that look a whole lot like a drug deal.
Sheen and Mueller just hashed out a joint custody agreement of the twins (who thankfully weren't present for mommy's cash transaction) this month, but if Brooke doesn't come out with a good excuse for these photos, it seems likely Charlie might take another crack at gaining full custody of the kids. Sure, he's got a storied history of drug abuse himself (not to mention a misdemeanor assault conviction following a fight with Mueller), but if he was doing public drug buys—or anything that could be construed as one—we're pretty sure we'd hear about it. And hey,we're sure Denise Richards would be happy to babysit!

Thank heaven for teeny, tiny favors. It looks like Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are agreeing to share custody of their twin sons Max and Bob. Neither Sheen or his ex-wife were present in court, but TMZ reports his lawyer Mark Gross and Mueller's attorney Lori Howe presented a judge with the written agreement splitting physical and legal custody between the two. Considering what we already know about Brooke Mueller's drug problems and Charlie Sheen's custody threats, we can't imagine the kind of horrible details that would bubble to the surface during an all-out legal brawl. Apparently neither could Charlie and Brooke, as their agreement wasn't filed with the court and the case was taken off the court's calendar, pretty much guaranteeing we won't find out the extent of their relationship dysfunction. Well, beyond what we've learn from Sheen's twitter and Brooke Mueller's Paris Hilton show cameo, all of which is…deeply upsetting.
[Photo: Getty Images]
Paris Hilton held a premiere party for her new Oxygen reality show, The World According To Paris, in LA last night. The shindig was full of Hilton relatives like Nicky Hilton, Kathy Hilton aunts Kim & Kyle Richards…even Paris' boyfriend Cy Waits showed up! Ok, there were a few people outside her immediate family there: David Arquette, the drummer from Velvet Revolver, some Real Housewives pals of the Richards ladies. But one noticeable absence was Brooke Mueller, former wife of Charlie Sheen and allegedly one of Paris' "closest friends," who's set to play a big role on the new show.
Odds are Mueller's still in rehab after last month's jewelry-pawning meltdown, but that hasn't stopped Hilton from telling the world how the show will feature plenty of Mueller's struggle, with Brooke actually coming to Paris for advice. "I've been through a lot so I know how it is," Paris recently told Ryan Seacrest, to which we can only say 'O RLY?' Wonder whose controversy Hilton will offer her wisdom on if Mueller doesn't show up for season two…assuming this show even has one.

- Where: Adirondack Folk School, Lake Luzerne
- Cost: $170
- Age limit: All ages
- Categories: Class, Film, Workshop
Spring is the time for rain, but with rain come some of the most beautiful and delicate subjects in the Adirondacks. From gently cascading brooks to raging waterfalls, along with budding trees and fields of wild flowers, springtime has something for everyone. In this class we will discuss the relationship between us, our cameras, and our subjects by exploring the connection between shutter speed, aperture, and distance to our subject. Participants should possess an understanding of how to use the manual features of their SLR/DSLR cameras and be prepared for cool wet weather. We will spend a majority of our time in the field exploring local wild flower hot spots and waterfalls. The beauty of flowers and waterfalls is that they are always willing to pose, so we will get up close and personal with our subjects and develop a relationship with them. There will also be Q & A and indoor lessons. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear for being outside in potentially wet, cool conditions.

Lehigh enters into "Conversations on Race"
Daniel Bahner '09, a classical civilization major, realizes that there is a lot about race he doesn't know.
But thanks to last month's pilot sessions of Lehigh's new Conversations on Race (CoR) program, Bahner learned a lot more on the subject.
"I had hoped to get different opinions on race and how to approach the topic of race in conversations with other people," says Bahner, discussing the reason why he decided to attend the two-part session in early December. "I thought the discussions were thought provoking."
At the very least, Bahner believes CoR will make Lehigh students more aware and open to talking about the problem of racism, a fact that ultimately could make the environment at Lehigh more appealing to prospective students.
Developed at Indiana University in Bloomington back in 2000, CoR offers students the opportunity to talk about race in an environment where participants can safely reflect on and express their personal experiences, consider the viewpoints of others, and develop strategies for action.
Beginning in late February, Lehigh students who sign up for the program will commit to a two-hour session each week for six weeks, during which trained CoR faculty/staff facilitators will conduct conversations about different race-related topics.
Alta Thornton, a coordinator in the Office of Residence Life, knows that students have thoughts about race, but hopes that Lehigh's CoR program "will empower students to a point of true self-exploration, where they can question what they have been taught about race and race relations, or develop initial ideas if they have not been taught anything."
The program, Thornton says, will give students a non-academic setting where they can be honest with themselves and others to process these thoughts.
Developmentally, she says, college-aged students are primed to grasp seemingly intangible and unchangeable concepts, process and internalize them, and adapt their behavior based on what they have learned.
"In short," Thornton says, "the timing is right for this type of program. College students expect to be exposed to new ideas and not only is it our responsibility as educators to make sure that happens, it is our job to prepare them for these encounters, and to position them to become well-rounded adults."

I loved working in that building and working in downtown Saratoga. It is to bad they could not hold on to it. I'm not worried about the newspaper as much as I am about what they do to the building and property.
Honestly, I am optimistic, as everything Frank Parillo has done has been first-rate. The Hampton Inn, the nicest in that chain, and the Strike Zone bowling facility are two examples.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a notice of appeal this afternoon to the United States Supreme Court in Baldus, et al. v. Brennan, et al., Case No. 11 CV 562, and Voces de la Frontera, Inc. et al. v. Brennan, Case No. 11 CV 1011.
On March 22, 2012, a federal district court rejected all legal challenges to the newly drawn congressional boundaries in 2011 Wisconsin Act 44 and further rejected all legal challenges to the state senate districts created by 2011 Wisconsin Act 43. With respect to the state assembly districts created by Act 43, the Court rejected all constitutional challenges to the districts, but concluded that the line between two of the districts needed to be redrawn under the Voting Rights Act. The Attorney General is appealing that aspect of the decision to the United States Supreme Court.
Regarding the appeal, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen stated: "The redistricting laws were upheld in virtually all respects. However, we have appealed the one portion of the district court's decision where the State did not prevail. While some view the adverse portion of the district court decision as being inconsequential, I disagree. Any time a federal court rejects a state redistricting statute, and decides to redraw or adjust a legislative district, it is a serious matter and appropriate for appellate review."

Technical Update for School Health Guidelines
Based on the current research, this technical update revises information contained in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Supplement, Guidelines for Effective School Health Education to Prevent the Spread of AIDS, published on January 29, 1988.
- Original: "The Purpose of Effective Education about AIDS" section
lists five types of behavior that should be practiced by persons at risk
of acquiring HIV infection. The list includes "Using a latex condom with spermicide if they engage in sexual intercourse."
Revised: Based on current research, the phrase "with spermicide" was deleted.
Original: The "Content" section for Junior High/Senior High School includes the statement: "Additional protection may be obtained by using spermicides that seem active against HIV and other sexually transmitted organisms in conjunction with condoms."
Revised: Based on current research this statement was deleted.
Rationale: Spermicides, including the spermicide Nonoxynol-9, are not effective in preventing HIV infection, cervical gonorrhea, or chlamydia. A UNAIDS study found that Nonoxynol-9 did not protect against HIV infection and may have caused more transmission.
For more information:
- Original: The "Content" section for Late Elementary/Middle
School includes the statement: "Most infected people who develop
symptoms of AIDS only live about 2 years after their symptoms are
Revised: "Scientists have developed drugs that can help people infected with HIV live longer and healthier lives. In the United States and other countries where new treatments are available, people who know they are HIV positive can take medicines that keep them healthy for a long time. It is important for people at risk for HIV to be tested and seek treatment if they are infected."
Rationale: Scientists have developed an effective battery of drugs that can help people infected with HIV live longer and healthier lives. Although the early optimism about new treatments for HIV has been diminished somewhat by the emergence of resistant viral strains, the prognosis for individuals infected with the HIV virus remains far better than in the past.
For more information: Treatment of HIV Infection
- Original: Appendix II provided an epidemiological analysis of
the extent of AIDS and indicators of adolescent risk as of 1987.
Revised: Appendix II was deleted and new links for updated epidemiological data were added.
Rationale: Epidemiological information was outdated. Current epidemiological information can be obtained from the following sources:General
- Sexual Risk Behavior Data and Statistics
- Sexual and Reproductive Health of Persons Aged 10–24 Years — United States, 2002–2007

It's our right to bear arms. You could kill a person with a knife just as easily.
You could kill a person with sex, too. And rope.
Shouldn't they be banned?

Did you hear about the knifing in China where someone stabbed I believe it was about 30 people. It doesn't matter what weapon an individual has, they will still find ways to kill. People were using swords before firearms were invented, why didn't we ban those? People kill people, weapons are just utensils.

You know how to stop a bad guy with a gun? Bring a good guy with a gun. You can't expect a criminal to just stop what they are doing if they have a gun in a Gun-Free Zone. A sign is clearly going to save innocent lives. Besides, even if you do outlaw/ban or try to reduce guns, criminals are going to find ways to get them illegally. Banning Heroine, Cocaine, Marijuana, and Alcohol worked really well right? You don't see those anymore ever since they became illegal. Banning guns only hurts the law-abiding and even the economy. If I owned a business, I would have a Pro-Gun policy, meaning that people could be armed in my business. 10/10 times, if someone walks into my store to rob it/commit a crime, myself and law-abiding, confident customers would gladly come to our defense and deter all forms of aggression. Sorry if I sounded rude or anything, not trying to be butthurt. The public just doesn't understand.

I never said to ban or even heavily regulate guns my good sir, I'm against such things. I'm just trying to make the point that guns have more lethality than knives. I also agree that a good bit of the public doesn't seem to understand what happens when guns are regulated in America.

Convicted former Cuyahoga Co. judge Bridget McCafferty released early to Cleveland halfway house
CLEVELAND - NewsChannel5 investigators have uncovered former Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Bridget McCafferty has been living in a halfway house in Cleveland since June.
McCafferty was released to Oriana House after serving nine months of a 14-month prison sentence in an Alderson, West Virginia, prison.
McCafferty was sentenced last August after being convicted of 10 charges involving lying to FBI agents about conversations she had with former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora and former Cuyahoga County Auditor Frank Russo.
The decision by officials at the Federal Bureau of Prisons to release McCafferty before her sentence was completed is not unusual, according to Cleveland attorney Avery Friedman.
"The fact that it's non-violent crime, first offense. She's served most of her sentence and, frankly, I think the federal district judge did exactly the right thing," said Friedman.
Friedman said McCafferty's early release does not indicate other officials convicted in the Cuyahoga County corruption scandal will be released early from prison, especially in the case of Jimmy Dimora. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison July 31.
"I think it's apple and oranges. (There was) absolutely no remorse whatever, unlike in the McCafferty case, so I think to compare one with the other really wouldn't be fair, wouldn't be accurate," he said.
Friedman also told NewsChannel5 McCafferty is unlikely to end up back in prison as a result of recent charges from a July 18 traffic stop on I-90E in Cleveland. McCafferty pleaded not guilty to reckless operation and slow speed Aug. 1. Both violations are misdemeanors.
"The likelihood of Ms. McCafferty going back to the federal penitentiary is, I think, a virtual impossibility," he said.
McCafferty's trial for the traffic charges is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Mac OS X has been rewritten from the ground up, and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard New Features highlights all of the most important and user-relevant aspects of this release. Experienced instructor and lifelong Mac user Garrick Chow introduces current Mac users to the improvements in the latest OS. While not a complete overhaul of the operating system, this update does address a fair number of internal systems and external user features. Garrick explores all of these updates, including enhancements to the Finder and the Dock and a completely revamped QuickTime player. He shows the wealth of improvements to built-in applications like Safari, Preview, iChat, and Mail, and explains the updated 64-bit support within Snow Leopard.
Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard comes with four new fonts you can use in your word processing and page layout applications, or just about any other application you can type in. I have opened the Font Book application and I created a new collection of fonts to show these to you. The new fonts are called 'Chalkduster' 'Heiti', 'Hiragino Sans GB' and 'Menlo'. Now Heiti and Hiragino are Chinese fonts so you probably won't use them much unless you read and write Chinese, but if you do you have both the simplified character and traditional character versions of Heiti available to you.
Menlo replaces the font Monaco, which has been around since Apple released system 1 back in 1984, as the new default Monospace Sans Serif font in Snow Leopard and it's the default font you will now see in Terminal if you use the Terminal utility. This probably isn't a big deal if you are not a coder or a developer, but coders do take the font face of their code very seriously and this is kind of a big change. So if you are a coder and you don't like to switch to Menlo in Terminal, you can always switch back to Monaco by going to Preferences > Settings, and changing the font here under the Text tab.
And Chalkduster is just one of those fun fonts that's probably not appropriate for term papers or business letters, but you may find use for if you are laying out a brochure or making a flyer. So those are the four new fonts that ship with Snow Leopard.
There are currently no FAQs about Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard New Features.

We have eaten Dim Sum all around the world and seldom been disappointed. The dim sum here is unappetizing and unappealing. The dishes were not even steamed hot, just lukewarm and tasteless. The price that you pay (3 times more than chinatown or anywhere else for that matter) is definitely not worth it.
Posted by Dan on 08/24/2005
Service is always great and the manager of the cafe gives personal attention to customers. Favorite dishes include Shun Lee bean curd, schezuan salmon, hunan broccoli, veg spring rolls, stir fried string beans, hot spicy noodles
Posted by Anonymous on 05/21/2005
If this is upscale Chinese food, I don't think I like upscale Chinese food. The atmosphere is cool, the service is good, but the food was surprisingly unappetizing - especially for those prices! Spring rolls and dumplings are ordinary, even a bit greasy, but they cost twice as much as at an "everyday" Chinese place. My "crispy duck" managed to be heavy, greasy and bland; the Grand Marnier prawns were in a weirdly un-Chinese cream sauce; the vegetarian "duck" was extremely greasy; and even the alligator was amazingly boring, coming with nothing but broccoli. The desserts seemed mass-produced, like an afterthought.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/12/2005
I found this place to be overrated, and you can find better dim sum anywhere in Chinatown. Also, not a good date place, as the lighting is unflattering.
Posted by Food Snob on 03/01/2005
We order in from Shun Lee ALL the time. It is reliably high quality. We go to the dim sum cafe sometimes - the fried pork dumplings are awesome - for a really good casual meal and prices there are like all the other local spots. Service in the cafe is crazy, not great, but it's a fun casual fast moving place. Service in the restaurant is EXCELLENT and the prices are high, but it is without a doubt the best chinese on the west side. A very 80s-style black and red atmoshpere. The wait staff is so friendly and happy to talk in great detail about the dishes...or anything!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/10/2005
Heartily recommend. Enormous menu,, everything on it is great. Pricey, but worth it - more than just a neighborhood joint.

I have literally traveled the world, and Shun Lee is second to none. Anyone who can afford this meal would be crazy to pass it up...crazy!

Vigneault responds to Habs practice flap, Therrien's injury knowledge
May 25, 2014, 12:24 PM EDT
Saturday was the day for the Montreal Canadiens to sound off about their thoughts on Derek Stepan's jaw injury, Michel Therrien's knowledge of what Derick Brassard's injury is, as well as kicking Rangers coaches out of their practice session.
Sunday turned out to be the day Rangers coach Alain Vigneault returned serve.
Following the Rangers morning skate in preparation for Game 4 Sunday night, Vigneault spoke with reporters about what went down yesterday. AV didn't hold back.
Regarding his coaches being tossed from Habs practice yesterday in which Therrien cited a "gentleman's agreement" not to watch each others practices, Vigneault said no such thing was in place.
"Well, we were treated very unfairly yesterday," Vigneault said. "There is no rule. There was no agreement between both teams. That is the exception, not the rule. I mean, I've been asked in the past to do this on a couple of occasions. Usually the coach calls me or the GM calls the GM, never happened. What happened yesterday was uncalled for.
"Without a doubt, my staff handled it with a lot of class, just like our team, play whistle to whistle, don't get involved with the other stuff. We're very credible. This is the National Hockey League, and that type of behavior, we're lucky it didn't escalate."
Vigneault was asked about Therrien's comments saying he knew what Brassard's injury was and helped eliminate the elephant in the room as to what that was about.
"Let's put it this way, I hope nothing happens to Brass, the player, and Michel could be in trouble," Vigneault said.
As for Stepan's availability tonight, Vigneault said he's out indefinitely and resting at home following jaw surgery. As for Daniel Briere's comments saying reports of his injury were "fishy," the Rangers coach isn't giving that a second thought.
"I can't comment on their players saying Step's injury is fishy," Vigneault said. "We're trying to play whistle to whistle. We're trying to do the right things. I know in the hockey world we were painted as dishonest and dishonorable; we're not. We follow the rules. We follow the rules on the ice, and we will follow the rules off the ice."
The war of words takes its action to the ice for Game 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
- lowenni - May 25, 2014 at 12:37 PM
There's no rule saying you can't sit in on other teams practices, and the Canadiens need to stop complaining. I had defended them after the "disrespected" comments but this is getting out of hand, and instead of making excuses and talking about what the Rangers are doing they need to start looking at themselves and winning this series. Rangers (the organization, not players like Carcillo) have handled this very well, very classily in my opinion.
- billiam55 - May 25, 2014 at 12:43 PM
Theres video of the incident. The way Therrien handles it is uncalled for. Watch the video.

Poor baby can't take some swear words? If I were the coach, I would've told them to get lost too. Whining billiam.

How can the injury be fishy when there is am X-ray showing the fracture
- flowerdew - May 25, 2014 at 2:57 PM
Brière said that the way Vigneault was addressing the injury was fishy, not the injury itself. Unfortunately (but entertainingly) that hasn't been the way it's been reported.
- flowerdew - May 25, 2014 at 6:38 PM
Oh for crying out loud.
Brett Cyrgalis @BrettCyrgalis
Danny Briere, firing shots. First about Vigneault's ref complaints: "It seems a little fishy to me. It seems a little like a game…
1:22pm – 24 May 14
Briere cont. (2/2): "Ryan McDonagh is a great defenseman, but I haven't seen someone slash as much as he does since Chris Pronger."
1:26pm – 24 May 14
To be clear, Briere's "fishy" comment was about Vigneault not giving an update on Stepan's status AND about them wanting a PP from hit
1:32pm – 24 May 14
NY Post reporter, guys. I'm sorry if the story isn't as much fun this way.
- bills4 - May 25, 2014 at 12:53 PM
If you are American, I let you all in a little secret. We, Canadians can't stand these Montreal pukes, so it says a lot when your the only team from Canada left and 90% of Canada wants to see you lose!! They think they are above the rules, just like the rest of Quebec!!
- bigblueapple - May 25, 2014 at 1:13 PM
The amount of Habs fans who attend Canadian road games for them says otherwise. But it's ok, keep living in your own little world and keep making baseless and inflammatory claims.
- joey4id - May 25, 2014 at 1:49 PM
90% hahahaha! Do clean out horse stalls for a living? You're pretty good at mucking merde. Montreal Canadiens is the second most valuable NHL team in Canada, and it's not because 90% of Canada wants to see them lose.
Are you prejudice towards Quebec?
- imnotyourbuddyguy - May 25, 2014 at 2:40 PM
Fact, The Habs are Canada's most popular team according the the polls, around 20% of hockey fans in Canada root for them, the Leafs are second around 18%
The Habs are also the 2nd most hated team in Canada around 17%, while the Leafs are the most hated around 19%.
90%? Come on man
And if you want to get political, Montreal is the reason why Quebec didn't get the # of votes required to (lol) leave Canada. The city of Montreal thinks vastly different than the rest of the province.
- gallyhatch - May 25, 2014 at 12:54 PM
So many NHL coaches play the media game in the playoffs, it's kind of refreshing to see one of them take the high road. I admire the way AV has conducted himself in this series.
- charlie24zz - May 25, 2014 at 12:57 PM
I don't get it…Vigneault and his staff were treated unfairly because Habs coaching staff didn't want them spying on their practice?
- stakex - May 25, 2014 at 1:04 PM
They were perfectly within their right to be there. Unwritten rules are not rules….
Also, I'm sure the Canadians have watched the Rangers practice every time this series. Its pretty easy, you can watch it live on the internet….
- razorbyrd - May 25, 2014 at 1:05 PM
so, it's not a rule, but there's precedent because he's been asked by other coaches not to do it… that, to me, would constitute a "gentlemen's agreement", and doesn't require a call from the Canadiens…
it was a shady move, by a shady team… "we're classy, we follow the rules"… "well except this guy, and except that instance, and on that play…"
keep trying AV
- stakex - May 25, 2014 at 1:11 PM
Way to totally not understand what AV was saying. His point was that, on a day by day basis, sometimes teams will ask that their practice not be watch. In other words, its not a long standing agreement but rather something teams request from time to time.
Nice try yourself.
- charlie24zz - May 25, 2014 at 1:26 PM
Still pretty bush-league, no matter how you slice it
- flowerdew - May 25, 2014 at 3:03 PM
I'm hearing from other sources – Don Cherry, for one, which would make this the first time I've ever cited him for anything, but whatever – that it is unheard-of for coaches to observe practices. I'm not in the NHL, so I have no idea, but Vigneault is the only one I've heard say that there isn't one.
- c9castine - May 25, 2014 at 5:59 PM
stakex…you mean unwritten rules like "thou shallt fight idiotically when thou dost throw big check"
?? hypocrite.
- avscup - May 25, 2014 at 9:49 PM
And yet Grapes (that's Don Cherry for you newbie fans) talks about it being a respected agreement back in the 70's! Not a day by day thing at all. More like for decades you nitwit!
- bigblueapple - May 25, 2014 at 1:09 PM
We play whistle to whistle and after the whistle assault officials and get suspended for 10 games.
- mrd5c - May 25, 2014 at 2:41 PM
Going into this series, I didn't know much about this team or this coach. After the Boston series, the message was that they weren't getting respect from the Bruins. After watching coach and team whine and complain, Therrien, Prust, Desharnais, Briere, etc. I can see why they get no respect. They don't deserve any respect. It's the Sydney Crosby rule. Let the way you play speak for you and keep your mouth closed. The coach and many players have shown why they haven't earned any respect. My disrespect for them has grown day by day. Little to no class. Hope they lose in 5!
- michemai - May 25, 2014 at 3:51 PM
How many time before this did the Ranger's watch another teams practice?
Better yet how many times has any team in the playoffs watched any other teams practice?
If this is a first then it's an obvious douchebag move by the Ranger's. If it's a common occurrence then it's not a big deal.
- c9castine - May 25, 2014 at 4:42 PM
oh yes. therrien is a master of the mental game.
second, for all you people who think AV is taking the "high road" taking the "high road" would have meant not saying anything at all. im not knocking the guy in fact you only remember the winner here. if he loses then congrats on taking the "high road".
i would have told the rangers coaches to F off too. they knew why they were there. there was a reason they were sitting where they were sitting. and they left right afterward. why would therrien be in trouble if brassard got hurt? its perfectly acceptable to hit guys in this game.
i dont remember much fuss (from people outside of pittsburgh) when zdeno chara cold cocked Crosby in his broken jaw last year in such obvious fashion it was absurd.
people that think this guy or organization has no class are self righteous whiners.

The fact that the country didn't hurtle off the fiscal cliff is of particular importance to current and prospective college students, as the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which passed late Tuesday night, will affect student financial aid.
We've asked Mark Kantrowitz, an expert on financial aid and the founder of Finaid.org, to discuss some of the details of the legislation that affect how students pay for college.
Here are some provisions of the bill that affect financial aid, as highlighted by Mr. Kantrowitz:
The American Opportunity Tax Credit, which helps defray undergraduate college education expenses by allowing borrowers to deduct up to $2,500, has been extended for five years, through the end of 2017.
The Tuition and Fees Deduction, which allows taxpayers to claim up to $4,000 in tuition expenses, has also been extended. The deduction, which was set to expire at the end of 2011, will continue through the end of 2013.

How to get your round of applause
Observations on BBC Question Time
Observations on BBC Question Time
by Jonathan Rowson and Owen Phillips Published
The BBC Question Time audience behaves like a crowd, and crowds have properties distinct from their constituent parts. The first observer of this phenomenon may also have been the best. In 1895, Gustave Le Bon, author of The Crowd: a study of the popular mind, noted: "Crowds can only comprehend rough-and-ready associations of ideas . . . The laws of logic have no action . . . it is necessary . . . to thoroughly comprehend the sentiments by which they are animated, to pretend to share these sentiments, then to endeavour to modify them by calling up, by means of rudimentary associations, certain eminently suggestive notions . . ."
In other words, the audience does not care how clever you are; it cares how clever it is. This is bad news for nuance. One qualification at the start of your answer can be useful, but more than one is usually fatal for applause
Consider one recent panellist - Zac Goldsmith, editor of the Ecologist: ". . . I wish the effort that had been put into this anti-smoking campaign had been put into the anti-chemical campaign . . . three-quarters of all cancers are not in the lungs . . . I'm not saying that smoking doesn't cause cancer . . . but smoking has been a convenient scapegoat to allow the government . . . to avoid pointing their finger at things that we know cause cancer but which somehow remain in the market for years . . . It took 18 years to ban Atrazine . . . We cannot avoid these chemicals and we need the regulators to help us there."
This was a far more astute reply than your usual health mantras, but it earned few claps. You get applause when you reaffirm what the audience believes. It is a way for them to say: "I am with you on that." You cannot be with someone on Atrazine if you have never heard of the stuff.
Contrast this with professional politicians, who understand how to maximise the volume and duration of applause. The first thing is rhythm. A good point may earn a few discordant claps, but a harmony of applause requires a crescendo. You should start quietly, but with something arresting. A few pithy remarks are called for, and perhaps an argument. To maximise applause, it is imperative to end well.
For instance, on 2 June, Baroness (Shirley) Williams earned a hearty ten seconds of applause when she tackled political opportunism on the prospective fuel tax: ". . . it's hypocrisy by Michael Howard. [He] voted for the Iraq war, which is one of the reasons why the whole Middle East is in turmoil . . . We've been living in a fool's world in which we kid ourselves into thinking that we are not going to be looking at a steady increase in oil prices over the years ahead . . . we should be putting the money we get from fuel tax into public transport . . . What do we think we are going to do when the oil begins to run out? Bicycle?"
Another major issue is language, which should generate images. On an earlier Question Time, Patricia Hewitt (Labour) warmed up the audience with: "We need to get in there [Europe] and fight our corner." David Laws (Lib Dem) earned louder applause by arguing that Con- servative policy would place Britain on "an escalator out of the EU". But Amanda Platell (ex-Tory spin-doctor) was victorious: "It's not about bent bananas, it's about bent politicians!"
Finally, beware of those who interrupt. Liam Fox (Tory) ticked all the boxes needed for applause: "If the British people choose to vote against an EU constitution, that is their right . . . especially when we get to the anniversary of D-Day when the British people fought for their freedom . . . for a little intelligentsia [he glanced at the Guardian's Polly Toynbee) to tell the people of Britain that they don't know what's best for them . . . it's outrageous . . ." Then he paused for a final line. Toynbee interjected. Fox elbowed her away with another rousing sentiment, but his thunder had been stolen, and nobody clapped.
You cannot prevent some interruptions, but it helps to make eye contact with whomever is most likely to interrupt you. Baroness Williams regularly looked across at David Dimbleby, but Fox took his eyes off Toynbee just long enough for her to feel obliged to defend herself.

You can start to say goodbye to mystery meat at school cafeterias.
In an effort to combat childhood obesity, schools across the national are now required to follow new nutrition standards that call for meals with more fruits and vegetables and less calories. For some schools, this means revamped or fresh dishes need to make their way to the students' lunch trays.
The USDA is preparing to issue policies requiring that food and beverages sold in vending machines, school stores and cafeteria "a la carte" lines. Some of the changes include standards for school meals to increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

The fourth and last volume in Churchill's famous account spans 1815 to 1901. It closes when the British Empire is at its peak, with a staggering one-fifth of the human race presided over by the longest reigning monarch in British history: Queen Victoria.
In America he assesses the position of the "Great Republic" from slavery and secession to its position as a world superpower. He charts the rise of Germany and the unification of Italy and examines the situation in the Balkans in 1878, all of which had a deep impact not only on the war he was soon to fight, but on the geography of the European continent today.

"I don't usually complain about overnight accommodations but I must take exception after my stay in Waterloo. As soon as we pryed open the patio door..which, by the way, had no screen, we were met with gravel and dirt on the carpet. The 'balcony' was basically a raised cement sidewalk with an unfinished steel railing. This patio feature at your hotel should be monitored somehow because it seems to be just an area for 'smoking' patrons to blow their smoke in to non-smoking patrons' rooms. On a positive note...the staff on the desk for the evening of May 27 was very cordial..providing us with menus for local eating establishments, providing towels as well as extra glasses. I have stayed at Comfort Inns in Ontario on a number of occasions but I do not think that this particular Comfort Inn will be my hotel of choice in future visits to Waterloo. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity to assist you in your efforts to improve this facility."

2007 marked 200 years since the British parliament abolished the transatlantic slave trade. But it didn't mark the end of slavery, which still continues in different forms today.
Today we may wear wrist bands or ribbons
to show support for causes such as ending poverty. In the 1770s, campaigners also used symbols to publicise the horrors of the slave trade.
The kneeling enslaved African with chained hands and feet became a popular symbol of the campaign. It appeared on all sorts of different objects including brooches and this tobacco box lid. These objects showed slaves as passive victims: in reality, slaves regularly
resisted their oppression.
This tobacco box lid is displayed in the Gallery of Craft and Design among other objects owned by anti-slavery campaigners in the 1770s. We asked visitors: How would you show your idea of freedom in a medal? Below are some of their replies:

Tried trawling the internet for ideas but none came up. I've just planted two fruit trees (plum) in big containers in the garden made out of pallets, there's loads of bare soil around the trees as they're only tiny with skinny trunks so was wondering about using the space on the top of the soil for something to utilize the space but also offer some shade and stop soil drying out in the sun (and prevent neighbourhood kitties using it as potty).
Want something which wont put up much competition (considered summer squash for their big leaves, but heavy feeders so probably not a great idea?) Maybe nasturtiums, lettuce, strawberries?, got some cabbage seedlings..
Any ideas?

Ask the Superintendent: Taking a look at new state standards
Last week, the state Department of Public Instruction released school performance data for 2012-13. Because this covered the first year of brand new, highly rigorous state standards for what we teach and how we test it, the data lead me to two conclusions: I am encouraged by what our students and teachers accomplished last year, and we have more work to do to support student achievement.
Here are some questions that we have been asked since we began talking with our community about the new state standards, as well as after the release of last week's data.
Q: How are the 2012-13 scores different from prior years?
A: The last school year was the first in which our teachers taught to the new state standards, including the Common Core and the North Carolina Essential Standards. Our teachers and students had to adjust to new material.
At the same time, the grading standards were raised. Jim Key, our area superintendent for high schools, gives this example: On the old biology End-of-Course exam, a student needed to correctly answer 29 out of 60 questions to be considered proficient. This year, that student would need 42 correct answers. So the scores reflect the impact of new material and a higher bar.
Q: What's the difference between growth and proficiency?
A: For many years in North Carolina, academic growth has been a key measure of how our schools are doing in educating our children. Growth is a measure of how far a child progressed during a school year, regardless of where he or she started. This past year, 77 percent of Durham Public Schools met or exceeded academic growth expectations, which is well ahead of the state average (71 percent).
However, because the new state standards include significantly higher goals, some of our students have even more growth to accomplish before they will be considered proficient in a given subject. Strong academic growth tells us that we are on the right track, but it will take time and effort to accelerate that growth to meet the new levels of proficiency.
Q: What about our schools that had low proficiency scores?
A: This is a single measure, at a single point in time, which establishes a new baseline from which our schools shall improve. Our schools are scheduling Parent Information Sessions that will help families understand all of the academic progress indicators, the strengths as well as challenges, which make up just a part of the total picture of our schools.
The change in the standards by which our schools are held accountable has been significant. But the academic growth of our students, who have been led by some of the hardest working teachers in North Carolina, gives me confidence that our schools will rise to the challenge. It will take an increased level of commitment and partnership between our schools, families and community.
Just as our students tend to rise to high expectations, so shall our schools.
Dr. Eric J. Becoats is superintendent of Durham Public Schools. He answers readers' questions in his column the second Tuesday of each month. Submit your questions to email@example.com.

Cash Money Records' Runs Low On Cash?

"Tips For Jesus" Tipster Leaves Thousands in Tips For Servers
Someone in Los Angeles is going around leaving hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars in tips for servers in local bars and restaurants. The servers, waiters and waitresses who are sometimes stiffed on their tips are very grateful for the kindhearted gestures of the anonymous tipster. The person, or persons, who left tips worth $200 to $10,000 for servers, created an Instagram page where servers can upload their receipts called Tipsforjesus. The motto on the @TipsforJesus Instagram page is: "Doing the Lord's work, one tip at a time."
New Benjamins Going into Circulation On Tuesday
In an effort to stay one step ahead of organized, well-financed counterfeiters, the Federal Reserve is issuing crisp new $100 bills on Tuesday.
The new $100 bill, which was announced on April 21, 2010, will be released despite the government shutdown (nothing but an act of God stops the U.S. from printing money).
The new C-notes feature updated anti-counterfeit measures including raised printing, microprinting, and color shifting images. Benjamin Franklin's image is off-center and there are numerous references to the Constitution printed on the bills.
An earlier release date was scrapped when a printing error sent 30 million notes to the incinerator.
The old $100 bills will be gradually removed from circulation by banks and the Federal Reserve.
Floyd Mayweather has a single bank account with $123 million in it
Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather has everything money can buy. Too bad his money can't buy him common sense or self-esteem, because then he would truly be prosperous.
Mayweather's millions keeps him relatively comfortable — and he makes sure to always have at least a million in cold cash on hand. As for the rest of his money, according to ESPN The Magazine, the narcissistic pugilist keeps $123 million in a single bank account.
By the way, the FDIC covers bank deposits up to $250,000. So if Floyd's bank ever goes under, the majority of his cash will go down with it.
Rick Ross Sued By Jeweler for Unpaid Rolexes

Rapper Rick Ross has always had a taste for finer things since the days when he punched a clock as a corrections officer in Florida. But a jeweler is suing Ross for absconding with about $90,000 worth of Rolexes that he didn't pay for. Read on.

Indonesian Political Parties Playing 'Game' Over Cabinet Posts
One begins to wonder exactly why there was an election at all? It seems that everybody ends up being in government to some degree. To those who look on at the various players, it does look awfully like there is no end to the lengths that power-hungry Indonesian "politicians" will go to get their noses into the trough. What a letdown for the ordinary people of Indonesia.
Peter R.
Malaysians Unwelcome At Local University The different between Indonesians and citizens of advanced democracies is that they're still thinking with their heart, not with their brain. That's why we're still moving slowly in terms of reform. Being a patriot is the only hope after everything else fails.Wake up, Indonesia!
Outrage Over Stolen Pendet Dance Ends Up as a Misstep What's most surprising and disappointing about this miscommunication isn't the fact that Discover Channel inadvertently mistook one country's culture for another, but that so many people seemed not to recognize the mistake for what it was. Look at the blogs, Web stories, newspaper headlines — even the editorials — and one can't help but feel we're living in a society as reactionary as they come. Perhaps our leadership needs to recognize the power of a rumor unaddressed and put into effect mechanisms to address citizens more quickly and directly. It's not that SBY should have scheduled a live news conference to let the nation know when it's missed the fine print, but certainly someone with authority could have found reason amid the rumor and encouraged others to see.

I have a 3 node Cassandra cluster (0.8.4) on 3 physical hosts, and I've installed OpsCenter on one one of the hosts and have OpsCenter agent running on all 3. In the OpsCenter GUI I see "1 of 3 nodes connected", and the Ring View shows 3 nodes with IP address "22.214.171.124" (the OpsCenter host), "/220.127.116.11", and "/220.127.116.11".

I've searched around but can't seem to find anyone else with this issue in the forum. I verified that the schemas agree across nodes and I set my rpc_address to the actual public facing IP address in cassandra.yaml on each node instead of 0.0.0.0.
Can anyone shed some light on how OpsCenter determines the IP addresses of the nodes and why it might think that my nodes' IP addresses have a slash character in them?

Between Britney Spears' X Factor tour de couture (loving the curves, girl!) and her adorable smile, it's no surprise we're obsessed with America's sweetheart.
And although some might expect Brit-Brit to bring her Southern charm and sweet-as-pie demeanor to The X Factor set, it seems the pop princess may be taking a hint from Simon Cowell's signature 'tude.
"Very predictable, bad to the bone, you do not have the X Factor," are just a few of the choice phrases Brit utters in the 15-second promo.
The recently engaged singer has had an eventful run on The X Factor thus far. Brit had a teary reunion with a former labelmate in San Francisco and even stormed off-set with fellow judges Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid at the Kansas City auditions.
Couple this X Factor craziness with Brit-Brit's bite, and we're bound to see some fabulous drama on the boob tube when season two premieres Sept. 12.
READ: Britney Spears' Fiancé Auditions for Her—Does He Have the X Factor?
Considering Ms. Spears is as qualified as they come, it's refreshing to see the songstress being honest with the contestants (even if there's a bit of underlying snark).
Don't worry Brit-Brit, we won't hold it against you, but America on the other hand? Well, that's up to you, folks.
Are you excited about Britney's brutally honest opinion? Or do you miss the always-sweet Spears?

Coach Wright Wayne has been a fixture in the NC State athletics department for over 30 years. As the first full-time strength and conditioning coach at NC State Coach Wayne began his tenure here by working primarily with the football and men's basketball teams. As he was doing so he began introducing athletes from the other 19 sports to strength training and designed and implemented strength and conditioning programs for each of them. He has been involved with athletes and teams that have acquired 7 NCAA Championships and over 50 ACC Championships and currently oversees the year round strength and conditioning program for the men's tennis, women's tennis, gymnastics and softball teams.
"As a strength and conditioning coach I think that your primary goal is to provide the proper setting and program that will allow each athlete to improve from year to year," said Wright. Athletes are not all the same. Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses and it's important to ensure that their program addresses these needs on an individual basis.
"I believe that the cornerstone of any strength and conditioning program is injury prevention. We're always concentrating on stabilizing and strengthening the areas that are most vulnerable in the particular sport that the student-athlete is participating in. When injuries do occur, the strength and conditioning coaches and the sports medicine department work closely to provide the most effective rehab program possible to provide the athlete a full and speedy recovery. By helping our student-athletes make regular progress in their strength, agility, speed and quickness, we help them keep injuries to a minimum and also help them reach their full potential, regardless of their chosen sport."
Coach Wayne is a native of Whiteville, North Carolina and graduated from Southeastern Community College in 1971. He then served as a Petty Officer in the United States Navy as a Radioman at Naval Air Facility, Atsugi, Japan. He is married to the former Nancy Wilson of Miami, Fla.

To The Editor:
President Truman called our war a "police action." Our purpose was to quell the insurgence of the Communistic North Korean Army into the more democratic South. With clandestine Russia supporting the North, the South was facing a swift defeat. Guilty from his horrific decision to annihilate Nagasaki with our Atomic Bomb, Truman dispatched a small contingent of Army, Marines and Air Force, armed with antiquated equipment from the Second World War, expecting an early victory. Perhaps he was influenced by the John Wayne war movies that they showed us every night on the U.S.S. Mitchell as we crossed the Pacific. How could anyone stand up to the might of the United States Armed Forces?
We were slaughtered, with more dead in 3 years than it took 10 years to lose in Vietnam. There were just too many of them. General MacArthur, whom we highly respected for conducting his war on the line, and not from Tokyo, devised a pincer movement, from the muddy shores of Inchon, south, to assist those of us who were oscillating from Pusan, with serious casualties because of lack of ammunition. When MacArthur's plan was successful, he begged our president to allow us to continue north, pushing the enemy to the Yalu River.
Truman resented the general's political intrusion, locked horns with him and passionately fired one of the best generals this country has ever commissioned. That push, had it been allowed, would have announced to the world that politicians conduct our wars, not our generals. There may never have been a Vietnam had MacArthur not been fired. Our morale plummeted. Some soldiers threw down their arms and foolishly surrendered.
The Chinese entered the conflict 10,000 strong against a third that many Marines. Striking at night, blowing the bugle charge call of the old U.S. Cavalry, they charged, screaming with bayonets strapped to five-foot-long rifles. Our three-foot Garands were overwhelmed. Survivors defended themselves by ripping the long-rifle weapons from the hands of dead Chinese and leveling the playing field. We also stole the down vests from our well-equipped enemy, as Truman didn't think we would need more than Army fatigue jackets through winters as severe as Vermont's.
I was one of seven who returned, from a company of 340. Pieces of my high school friends became fertilizer for Korean rice paddies. No one greeted our returning troop ship. No band. No loyal girlfriends. No family.
I cried when I saw American flags lining the streets of Waitsfield this Memorial Day weekend. I imagined they were for some of the best young friends I've ever had.
Thank you, Waitsfield, for remembering. We fought hard to keep you and the democratic world free.
