DC Fencers Club Hosts Summer Fencing Camps in July
Youth ages 7 and up can learn the Olympic sport of fencing at four weeklong camps
Do your children play sword fights in the living room? This July introduce them to the real thing with summer fencing camps at DC Fencers Club. These weeklong fencing day camps teach children ages seven and up the real-world skills of confidence, decision making, and self discipline that are at the heart of this Olympic sport. Children also benefit from a positive fitness activity taught in a friendly, supportive, and safe setting.
Modern fencing is an Olympic sport with roots in European sword fighting of centuries past. Today, fencing is a competitive sport of skill, strategy and endurance. Fencing is often called "physical chess" for its strategic and mental challenges. And fencing is fun!
Children ages 7 and up are welcome to our four weeklong fencing day camps in July. Camps are open to beginner through intermediate fencers, and equipment and uniforms are provided. Fencing camp activities include games, footwork, fencing technique & tactics, group lessons, fencing videos, competition, training with nationally ranked fencers, and of course, new friendships.
There is always something new to learn at fencing camp, since each session has a different mix of students and abilities. Students are welcome to sign up for more than one week.
"Fencing is a different kind of sport, it requires more than sheer athleticism," said DC Fencers Club Head Coach Janusz Smolenski. "Traditional sports like soccer or football rely on physical strength; with fencing, children strengthen their mental agility as well as their physical abilities."
Youth fencing at DCFC
The coaches at DC Fencers Club have successfully trained dozens of youth fencers who have been recruited by, and are currently fencing for Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and Notre Dame, among others. DC Fencers Club has consistently produced fencers who compete at the national and international level. Our fencers have earned medals at USA Fencing National Championships, World Cups, and Junior World Championships.
Register for DCFC Fencing Camp
DC Fencing Club fencing camps take place on four weeklong sessions in July: July 8-12; July 15-19; July 22-26; and July 29-August 2, 2013. Price: one session $320, two sessions $640, three sessions, $960. All sessions run from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Beginners and advanced fencers are welcome, minimum age: 7. All fencing equipment is provided. Students should bring a water bottle and dress to move. Fencing camps take place at DC Fencers Club, a dedicated fencing facility located minutes from the Beltway in Silver Spring, MD.
Registration forms may be found on the "camps" page of DC Fencers Club at www.dcfencing.com.

While Roxanne is steeped in friendliness, Summer Heat is full of humid clichés; Personal Services is too pleased with itself, but The Big Easy has a hang-loose, big-spender quality.
Extreme Prejudice trips over its bloody missteps; Heaven climbs a staircase to the stars; Prick Up Your Ears delivers crisp witticisms and cruisy pickups; Ishtar completely lacks l'amour.
Everyone in Raising Arizona has a libido for the ugly, and the guys in Tin Men can't see past their hood ornaments; Hollywood Shuffle loses its hip mind; Street Smart has a crazed, electric menace.
Radio Days is a nostalgic doodle; Black Widow needs fewer poses and more cheap lust; Dead of Winter is spookhouse-scary—but schlocky; The Good Wife is soapy yet strangely affecting.
The action in Platoon is brilliantly sustained, but The Mission falls with a stately thud; The Bedroom Window aspires to be as spellbound as an Alfred Hitchcock, but The Defense of the Realm is the engrossing thriller.
Crimes of the Heart is a warm spill of sunshine, but Betty Blues is a mindless lump of misery and ¡Three Amigos! isn't friendly at all.
The Color of Money veers off into technique; Police goes flaccid; Menage succumbs to mystification; Round Midnight reduces jazz to a dirge; Something Wild has a lurid kick.
Technologically, Captain EO is a marvel, but the plot is banal to the point of retrograde; Touch and Go has drive and laughs; True Stories has no stories; The Men's Club is a stag party with pretensions; Shanghai Surprise is a passable waste of time.
Revenge has seldom been so incendiary, but Heartburn fails to ignite; Blue Velvet is for the brave; Club Paradise is for the jolly.
Legal Eagles is guilty of being humdrum and hokey; Mona Lisa has some fine, gracing touches; Vagabond finds purity within the dirtiest packaging.
Top Gun is just a high-tech skeet shoot; Alan Alda shows a wet blanket over the fun in Sweet Liberty; Desert Bloom has a bittersweet significance; The Manhattan Project needs an attitude adjustment.
Violets Are Blue is swimming in heavy conflict; Wise Guys is mostly slob humor, Absolute Beginners is an absolute mess; At Close Range is a violent ambush.
A Room With a View takes in edifying sights; Gung Ho settles for schmaltz; Just Between Friends makes glib chat.
Hannah and Her Sisters is Woody gone schmaltzy; F/X is implausible but entertaining; 9 1/2 Weeks is an eternity; Power is oppressively didactic.
Down and out in Beverly Hills is Mazursky magic; Clan of the Cave Bear is Sheena of the Stone Age; Trouble in Mind is—never mind.

Dr. Bonnie J. Sorensen named 2013 Great Communicator
posted Jul 17, 2013 - 11:50:40am
DAYTONA BEACH ̶ Bonnie J. Sorensen, MD, director of the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, was named 2013 Great Communicator by the Volusia/Flagler Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (FPRA).
Sorensen will be honored Aug. 13, at the 14th Annual "Gems in Communications" Great Communicator Luncheon, 11:30 a.m. at the Port Orange Cypress Head Golf Club. The annual award, given to one outstanding communications professional in Volusia and Flagler counties, is the highest honor bestowed by the chapter.
Kent Donahue, FPRA chapter president, said Sorensen is celebrated for her tireless promotion of healthy lifestyles and public education. "Dr. Sorensen has been highly successful in articulating the interconnection between public health and our everyday lives," he said. "She has demonstrated a lifetime of accomplishments in effective communication."
With more than 20 years in public health, Sorensen's professional experience includes service as deputy director of the Florida Department of Health, president of the Florida Public Health Association and recognition as an HIV/AIDS expert.
In 2007, Sorensen helped launch the new California Department of Public Health in Sacramento under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 2012 she was assigned as incident commander of the tuberculosis cluster investigation in Duval County and was named interim director of the Florida Department of Health in Duval County.
Sorensen has served on numerous prestigious boards and has received many honors; most recently she received the 2012 Public Health Hero Award by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. Board certified in Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Internal Medicine, she earned her Bachelor of Science and Doctorate in Medicine at the University of Illinois.
The public is invited to attend the Aug. 13 event sponsored by Cypress Head Golf Club and Florida Health Care Plans, at Cypress Head Golf Club, 6231 Palm Vista St., Port Orange from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. The registration fee, which includes lunch, is $18 for students, $20 for FPRA members, and $25 for non-members.

Tyre Dumping Danger
Not only is the dumping of old tyres illegal, it can put others in danger. This point was almost proven when 150 used car tyres were thrown into the Swaton Eau River at the end of January.
If a member of the public had not reported the offense to the Environmental Agency the nearby village of Swaton could have been flooded.
In a statement released by the agency, it was revealed that the tyres in question were causing a blockage on the river and if they had not been removed then both the village and the nearby A52 could have suffered from the effects.
Adam Robinson, of the Environment Agency, was quoted on the BBC news website as saying, "their [the tyre dumpers] actions could have caused misery to homeowners and a hazard for drivers.
"Luckily, this blockage was reported before it caused any real problems and our quick emergency response prevented this incident escalating.
"Fly-tipping incidents are something we see all too often and any rubbish within a watercourse has the potential to cause a blockage and increase the risk of flooding.
"We would therefore urge anyone who sees anything they believe may be a flood risk to contact us."
Lincolnshire Police has asked that if anyone has any information that could lead to the capture of the culprits to get in touch immediately.

As Grace CDF Freedom Schools® travels to and from the 2011 Ella Baker Child Policy Training Institute in Knoxville, TN the Servant Leader Interns, much like our foreparents who participated in the Freedom Rides of 1961, will travel by bus to begin their fight for freedom. This summer marks the 50th Anniversary of the first Freedom Ride, which took place on May 4, 1961. The Freedom Riders of the 1960s traveled by bus to challenge segregation with integrated buses in regions and states that did not allow integrated transportation. Traveling with Grace CDF Freedom Schools® will be Great Expectations CDF Freedom Schools®, Concord Baptist Church CDF Freedom Schools®, and St. Paul's Baptist Church CDF Freedom Schools®. ROCK THE FREEDOM SCHOOL!
About CDF Freedom Schools®
The CDF Freedom Schools program provides summer and after-school enrichment that helps children fall in love with reading, increases their self-esteem, and generates more positive attitudes toward learning. Children are taught using a model curriculum that supports children and families around five essential components:
1. High Quality Academic Enrichment
2. Parent and Family Involvement
3. Civic Engagement and Social Action
4. Intergenerational leadership development
5. Nutrition, health and mental health.
In partnership with faith institutions, schools, colleges and universities, and community based organizations, the CDF Freedom Schools program boosts student motivation to read, generates more positive attitudes toward learning, and connects the needs of children and families to the resources of their communities.
The CDF Freedom Schools model incorporates the totality of the Children's Defense Fund's mission by fostering environments that support children and young adults to excel and believe in their ability to make a difference in themselves and in their families, schools, communities, nation, and world. College age young adults are trained as servant leader interns to deliver the integrated reading curriculum (IRC) and adults are trained as site coordinators and project directors to provide supervision and administrative oversight.

Knitting Circles Around the War
Cat Mazza is a practitioner of what sociologist Betsy Greer has called "craftivism." She's used knitting and other needlecraft-related processes to address pertinent political issues. Her projects are particularly adept at effecting a tactical turning of the tables on issues; for instance, using hand-made (though often computer- or software-assisted) processes to address labor conditions. Her latest project is similarly successful at fighting fire with fire (or should we say "fiber"?), parodying a US government program--even using its own explicit instructions--to critique the ideas behind it. Stitch for Senate is a contemporary take on the historic practice of charitable knitting. During WWII, women and children supported the war effort by knitting clothing and protective gear for soldiers abroad. Following the US invasion of Iraq, Americans were encouraged to make similar efforts for soldiers stationed in Iraq and Aghanistan. However, as Mazza points out in a video on her site, this war is not as popular as WWII, consequently neither is the knitting initiative. On the fourth anniversary of the invasion, in order to spur more thought and dialogue about the war, Mazza launched Stitch for Senate which encourages users to download patterns and knit helmet liners not for combat troops but for every member of the US Senate (the legislative body that votes to declare war), giving them the responsibility of distributing the fuzzy armaments. Meanwhile, the website is a space for documentation of these efforts as well as posts by users about war-related discussions and acts of charity, patriotism, and activism within radius of their own local knitting circles. A few helmet liners won't unravel the war, but as with craft groups before them, projects like these do provide a safe platform for approaching (or stabbing a needle into) bigger issues. - Marisa Olson
Repeating Residual Histories
In their 2005 project With Respect to Residue, the Raqs Media Collective printed a theory of residues on disposable placemats, which were then distributed to various restaurants. Defining residue as, "that which never finds its way into the manifest narrative of how something (an object, a person, a state, or a state of being) is produced, or comes into existence," the placemats demanded that diners consider why and how "residues" were left out of history, as they themselves consumed. Raqs Media Collective's latest endeavor, co-curated as a portion of the nomadic biennial Manifesta 7, resides much in the same vein. From July 19th-November 2nd, they will be presenting an exhibition entitled "The Rest of Now" which includes many net art pioneers as well as other artists and non-explicitly artist-practitioners in addressing historic residues in the present tense. Set in an abandoned aluminum factory in Bolzano, Italy, the show works "to see what can be salvaged from the oblivion to which the residues of Modernism are normally consigned." In other words, both the site of the show and the works presented explore the ideas, qualities, and realities that have been swept under the rug in the process of European industrialization. The layers of self-reflexivity are piled high, here. The curators acknowledge that Europe is known for hosting many art spaces sited within old industrial spaces and their show works to juxtapose "remembered industrial energy and a more current melancholia of abandonment" to explore what the cultural embrace (or even coddling) of these spaces means. Their suggestion is that it is "symptomatic of Europe's unwillingness to come to terms with aspects of its own difficult path into, and through, the 20th century." So, in a sense, this show will work to retrace these footsteps of so-called progress, with the almost ...

It Takes Two (Or More)
Cover yourself in post-it notes and become a digital puppet. Sit under the soothing sounds of wii wind chimes. Watch yourself travel back in time on video. Interact with a hotter, fitter 3D version of yourself. These are the prompts offered by the artists in "Double Take," an exhibition opening this weekend at Eyebeam with a promise to "challenge viewers to reconsider what we take for granted as reality in our technologically-mediated lives." A total of nine projects will be presented in the show which results from the Interactivos workshop organized by Madrid-based Medialab-Prado and hosted in New York by Eyebeam. All of the works were created collaboratively by an international group of artists, hackers, and tinkerers brought together under the premise of exploring "the blurry line between the real and the fake." But the interactive prototypes need your participation to bring them alive, so check out these "technologically-enabled illusions" between July 12-August 9. - Marisa Olson

Getting to Your Safe Space
British artist Larisa Blazic has a background in architecture and an official graduate degree in hypermedia. For the last decade, she's been pursuing mergers of the two, using site-specific, interactive installations as a means of exploring space as a carrier of meaning. Her projects often employ audio and explore creative surveillance technologies to think-through and beyond the traditional ways in which so-called public art interventions communicate to the general public. In conjunction with the 2008 London Festival of Architecture (from July 14-20), she'll create an installation at the Novas Contemporary Urban Centre called In This Place of Safety. Blazic's argument is that we no longer rely solely on the basic needs of food, shelter, and emotional validation to feel safe, but that there is now a new environment for safety which can be observed in the structure of our surroundings. The project "uses a building as a projection screen to explore intersections between temporary video interventions, architecture, and art." In this case, the video will screen images of deserted public playgrounds overlaid with audio recordings of children discussing and defining personal safety. By activating the hot button issue of safety within this particular public format, Blazic hopes to initiate a correspondence between the content of the video and the context of the large, staid Southwark building facade onto which the images are cast. - Marisa Olson

On Easter Sunday, the most holy day of the Christian calendar, believers attended religious services _ whether among the packed crowds before a new pope in St. Peter's Square, at sunrise services in India and Pakistan, or at churches flanked by blast walls and security cordons in Iraq.
Here are some scenes from Easter Sunday around the world.

text: From monroecollegesmustangs.comThree Monroe Mustangs greats have signed on to continue their careers as professional basketball players in Europe. Djim Bandoumel will be playing for Forca Lleida in Spain, Tyrone Nared will be in Germany with the UBC Tigers Hannover, and Randy Dezouvre has signed with BC Aarhus in Denmark. All three played together on Monroe's 2010 national tournament team before continuing their college careers in the NCAA."These players embody the opportunity that is Monroe Mustangs basketball," said Coach Jeff Brustad of his team that is one of only eight to have participated in three consecutive NJCAA national tournaments in the last 22 years. "Many young athletes have dreams of playing professional ball and don't know how to realize them. But Djim, Ty, and Randy showed that it can be done if they start out as Mustangs." Bandoumel, a 6'8" French Canadian, was a strong inside player and shot blocker who emerged as a team leader at Monroe. In his sophomore year, Djim averaged 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game and helped lead the Mustangs to a 29-8 overall record, Region 15 and District III titles, and a seventh-place finish at the national tournament. He then went on to star at the University of Idaho, averaging 7.4 ppg and 4.5 rpg in his two years there. Read about Bandoumel at the University of IdahoThe 6'6" Nared, who hails from Woonsocket Rhode Island, made a name for himself with a 2010 playoff run that culminated in a remarkable post season performance and an exclamation point in the final game of the national tournament when he banged home five three-pointers to propel Monroe to victory. It was a stunning moment for a big, front-line player.At the University of Oregon he also showed flashes of brilliance, even making ESPN's top-ten highlights of the day for his trademark put-back dunk, which was the first-ever dunk on opening night of the Matthew Knight Arena. Nared also got UO's first-ever block and three-pointer in their new home. Read about Tyrone Nared at the University of OregonAt Monroe the 6'4" Dezouvre showed flashes of brilliance, emerging as a vital cog on that 2009-10 Mustang team, averaging 11.1 ppg, 5.24 rpg, and shooting 70.6% from the free throw line. But it was in the national tournament that Dezouvre really proved his mettle, providing dynamic hustle and a never-say-die approach that inspired his team. He averaged 13.5 ppg, 3.75 rpg, and shot 84.6% from the charity stripe in the nationals. He also starred for Iona where the Montreal native became known for making big plays at big times. Read about Dezouvre at IonaDezouvre will be playing in BC Aarhus, which is Denmark's second largest city. Aarhus competes in Denmark's Ligaen, the country's top division. He is the lone North American on the roster for the upcoming season."Each of these three were great players for Monroe. They were good students and solid citizens who were not afraid to put their work in. Now they're reaping the rewards of all that work," said Coach Brustad. "We are proud of them and proud of our basketball program for giving them the foundation to make their hoop dreams come true."

I hope he tears it up, and makes the team. One thing is for sure, this guy is a hard worker, and deserves a shot. I am hoping Gash found gold.
detfaninnc is correct. Why are you only talking about how great Inge is at second base; rather than talking about his awful batting average for his career. Inge has got to go man because when you add it all up he should have been in the minor league three years ago. Please Detroit Tigers get rid of this guy because he stinks. This fan is tired of his awful batting average.
Heck yeah, good for Stanton. Stanton is a better QB than either Tebow or Sanchez. I am betting he will be the Colts QB for a year or two, before thier drafted QB gets good enough to start.
Well, if he couldn't break the CFL line up I can't see him making the final roaster here in Detroit. It would be nice if he can, and i will be pulling for him. He is a hard worker and he has drive so I am not counting him out.
Tulloch is a good player, but i don't think he is worth 5mil a year. I hope the Lions have set it up as an incentive package where he has to make 135 tackle solo, 5 turn overs, and or something else to make the 5mil. Just throwing 5mil at him without some sort of incentive is a bit much.
Can't wait to read more tomorrow. It is an interesting story Anwar. I have been looking all day to see if you had posted it. I always root for the under dog. Well lol, living in Detroit area that's all we had as far as the Lions go. The Lions have turned the page though, and now are a very good team. We have finally got some people that know how to build us a winner. Gooooooo, Swartz and Mayhew.
I vote Anwar bar suhfford from posting because he is to annoying. I don't read his posts anymore because he is so negative. I am betting he lives in a box with a 7 inch TV Radio that runs on batteries. When his batteries get weak he runs to the library to post on Mlive and keep warm. LOL sorry man but this guy is as negative as they come. I would like to meet him in an alley here in Detroit ,and kick the sh** out him.
OK, where is Part II?
fudog2 is right. People shouldn't jump to the conclusion that Stanton will be a number three QB. Like fudog2 said Tebow was brought in for one specific reason, and that is to run the wildcat. He can't pass for crap, and I think he will only be used in the wildcat. Although Stanton isn't a pure pass QB either, he sure can pass better than Tebow. I think Stanton was going to run the wildcat and then Tebow became available.
I am hoping we fet a pitcher in free agency because these guys aren't cutting it. Although, it is still early enough for Smyly to shine.
suhfford give us a break man. suhfford you didn't have to read this story, or much less comment on it. So what's the beef? I read Lions football articles every day, can't get enough. I found this article intriguing. Sounds as though this guy came through some tough times, and stayed positive even when the odds were against him. I hope he gets a good shot at making the team because we need guys with character and drive.
i hope our Lion team mates stay off the cover
This is a little scary, just read this post by Rotoworld
"Lions signed CB Jacob Lacey to a one-year contract.The Lions have found a potential replacement for Eric Wright in a 24-year-old who has already made 27 career starts, but was also benched for a five-game stretch by the NFL's worst team last season. Lacey is serviceable against the run, but has been one of the league's most frequent burn victims the past few seasons. He became an unrestricted free agent after being non-tendered by the Colts, and had drawn no other known interest on the open market. Mar 20 - 10:46 AM"
Er Angwar, not Dean sorry.
Hey Dean, Detroit will draft the best player available no matter what. I like your articles, but if you think detroit is going to reach for a CB, or DB because it is a need, you are wrong.
Every body wants the Lions to sign players right now, but there are going to be good players cut for cap space. Why all the hurry? We have plenty of time and a strong draft class this year. I do think the lions will sign Tulloch or another free agent within the next week or so.
If he is that good he will be gone by the time Detroit could pick him. We will see
If Tulloch doesn't come down to what the Lions want to pay him, dump him, and get a line backer in the draft, or get one after teams start cutting in training camp. I didn't think he was that great on running plays. Sure, he had alot of tackles, but to many were after the runner got 5 yards or more.
Yes it has too.
Umm, we need more space to sign some more players. I am thinking that number isn't correct.

In 2010, we traveled around the world, making stops in South America, Europe, Africa, India, Canada and the United States. We ate a lot. I mean, A LOT.
Lately, as we've been getting closer to home, we've started reflecting on some of best and most interesting food we ate this year. I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of all of the awesome vegan desserts we sampled. It wasn't easy, but John and I managed to agree on a top 10. Without further ado, I present to you our top 10 vegan desserts of 2010….

Indara Suarez didn't speak a word of English when she arrived to the U.S. from Mexico at age 12. The grades she made in high school weren't good enough to get her into a four-year university.
Now as a doctoral student at Texas A&M University working toward a Ph.D. in high-energy physics, Suarez has received a coveted award recognizing outstanding contributions on one of the world's biggest stages for elite particle physics – CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
"In Mexico, I was used to being known as 'the smart kid,'" Suarez said from Switzerland in her office at CERN. "So the language barrier was very draining for me, and I struggled. But a lot of people helped me, believed in me and supported me. I wouldn't be here without them."
On Dec. 9, Suarez was honored with a 2013 CMS Achievement Award, given to 23 of the roughly 3,000 scientists from around the world working on the CMS, or Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, which is powered by one of two large particle physics detectors at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The award was given for her work integrating panels developed at Texas A&M and other universities as part of an upgrade to the system.
The optical trigger mother boards (OTMBs), built in the George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy-located laboratory of Texas A&M physicist and CMS collaborator Alexei Safonov, serve as part of the detector's data filtration system. Scientists collide protons into each other at nearly the speed of light with the hope of observing interesting physics events, such as a new particle like the Higgs boson. The collisions occur about a billion times per second, and the boards help decide which data to discard and which to store.
"Imagine CMS as like a camera," said Suarez, who is a deputy manager on the upgrade effort. "There's a limitation to how many pictures can be stored because you have limited memory in the camera. You can't store all your pictures, so you have to choose which to store. It's kind of the same thing. All of the data we collect has to pass the first filter, and our board is the one that makes that first decision. The physics that we can do depends a lot on this system."

Sleeping was never so fun for kids
The secret to a happy mother and baby is good sleep. A rested body is what keeps us going. However, it is not as simple as it might sound. Sleep time is difficult with some toddlers. Kids do not want to sleep as they want to play more or because of separation anxiety. Kids fear being left alone while asleep. If you find your kid getting irritated and cranky at the thought of going to bed, maybe its time you make his bedtime fun and enjoyable.
Putting your baby to sleep might seem like an arduous task on several occasions. However, with the right environment and some good sleep habits established at an early age, you can ensure a regular bed time schedule. Every child is different so what works with your kid might not really work with your friends' baby. Your child might be used to sleeping in a baby rocker bouncer, but this might not be true for another child. While there are no set rules for bedtime rituals, here are some tried and tested ways to help make your child enjoy his bed time routine.
The most important thing to ensure is your baby's comfort. A comfortable baby is more likely to enjoy his ambiance. The best way to do this is to keep the room temperature between 18 to 20 degrees so that your baby is warm and comfortable. A pleasing baby nursery is also a great way to make your child enjoy spending time in his cozy room.
Kids love to have a personal space of their own where they can dream big. Kids bed tents are a great way to let your baby create his or her own fantasy world and enjoy a dreamy sleep.
It goes without saying that habits govern the way we do things. This applies to kids as well. Some babies get habituated to listening to lullabies or bedtime stories before sleeping. This is their way of enjoying the bed time. Bedtime stories are fantastic way of letting your child drift into a nice slumber. You can either read to them or simply play an audio tape – either way, it is going to help your child get comfortable and enjoy his bed time. Once your child has fallen asleep, tuck him or her up in a cozy fleece baby blanket so that your baby sleeps comfortably.

- Category: Fantasy Take - Latest NHL Moves
Fantasy Impact: The San Jose Sharks have acquired Ian White from Carolina in exchange for 2012 2nd round draft pick.
The Sharks get: A right-shooting offensive defenseman. They didn't replace Rob Blake last summer after he retired, and their back end has been disjointed all season. White isn't an amazing defensive defenseman, but is capable of playing 20 minutes per game. Look for him to see a lot of power play time, as well. Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Jason Demers have both been very disappointing from an offensive standpoint.
Fantasy Players Impacted:
White's value increases dramatically. He was seeing only 1:31 per game on the power play with Carolina. That number should rise to at least three minutes with the Sharks. In Carolina, this opens up more ice time for Jamie McBain, and one of Brett Carson/Bryan Rodney.
Derek Joslin may sneak into the top six (he was acquired in a separate deal from San Jose earlier today), but the Hurricanes are still a defenseman or two short from icing a decent group of six.
Unfortunately for Cam Ward, it also means more ice time for Joe Corvo.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. White
2. McBain
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Demers
2. Justin Braun (short-term)

For the Hawks (3-5, 0-1), Deon Jones led the way with 24 points, Justin Robinson scored 19 and Andrew Nicholas finished with 13.
Both squads shot well to start the game, with Monmouth hitting on 50 percent of its field goal tries, including 4-of-9 from 3-point range. Rider was close behind at 48.5 percent from the field and knocked down 8-of-15 from beyond the arc. After the teams traded leads in the early going, the Broncs finished the half on a 17-7 run and took a 42-35 lead into intermission.
In the second half, the teams continued to have success shooting the ball, with both connecting on 50 percent of their field goal attempts. After trailing for most of the half, the Hawks took a brief lead with less than nine minutes to play, but the Broncs answered with an 11-1 run and never trailed again, as they held on for the road victory.
The Broncs had the decided advantage at the free-throw line, outscoring the Hawks, 28-10. Monmouth had the edge down low, with a 34-28 advantage on points in the paint.

EDMONTON - Some languages are undeniably beautiful. Take Italian, mother tongue of one of the world's great food nations. Not surprising that a culinary term perhaps mildly distasteful in English rolls off the tongue so splendidly in Italian.
"Guanciale," says Italian Centre Shop president Teresa Spinelli. (Pronounced: gwan CHALL lay.)
Guiseppe Mazzocchi, chef at the newly opened Massimo's Cucina Italiana describes guanciale as "tasty — very tasty, close to pancetta."
And from Daniel Costa of Corso 32, "It's beautiful, delicious and delicate."
That's fantastic imagery for the carnivorous foodie. Keep it in mind for the English translation: pork jowl.
In a field rich with elegant terms like velouté, carmelize and saffron, the word "jowl" is arguably not the most appetizing — conjuring up images of flapping flesh and multiple chins. But guanciale by any other name may be just as tasty.
Costa, owner and chef of Corso 32 (10345 Jasper Ave., 780-421-4622; corso32.com) says, "Jowl is not the most pleasant word, that's for sure." But, he argues, "If you think about it, what's the difference between eating a cheek and eating the leg?"
Call it jowl or guanciale, whatever language is spoken in the kitchen, chefs are singing its praises — meaning it's likely to make more appearances on Alberta menus.
David Omar, executive chef of Zinc at the Art Gallery of Alberta (2 Sir Winston Churchill Square, 780-392-2501 zincrestaurant.ca), sweetens the image by saying pork jowl is "almost like the puff pastry of meat." He adds calling the cut "jowl bacon" can help customers get a better sense of what they are about to enjoy.
Jowl can be used similarly to its better-known cousin. "You can cure it or smoke it, like you would with bacon," says Omar. Zinc prepares its own bacon in-house, and Omar envisions the same for pork jowl that could grace a clubhouse sandwich or star in an appetizer. "If you place it on the menu in an accessible way, then people can try it."
At Corso 32, jowl that is cured but not smoked becomes guanciale. "The appeal is when eating guanciale, there is a very pure pork flavour," Costa says. And as a chef, he revels in the process of beginning with a whole animal and working through the various cuts, finding uses for every part.
Costa's customers have proven themselves receptive to all manners of meat. He says guanciale traditionally makes an appearance in dishes like carbonara or tonnarelli alla gricia. The latter sees guanciale accompanied simply by black pepper and pecorino cheese.
Costa adds this is a staple ingredient in Rome and Umbria. In Italy, it is often cooked into deliciously crispy cubes. With Massimo's Cucina Italiana (5012 104A St., 780-439-4869; massimoscucina.ca), Guiseppe Mazzocchi's respect for tradition shines through as he talks of guanciale treated as the forefathers did it: "In the morning, people working in the fields needed a robust breakfast."
To that end, he describes guanciale cut in thick slices and fried much like bacon, then served with eggs and pecorino cheese in a frittata.
Other popular applications to highlight pork jowl harken back to the old days of Tuscany. "We have to consider it a winter food, for comfort," says Mazzocchi.
The fat content helps infuse leaner meats with flavour, making guinea fowl or pheasant juicer. Mazzocchi suggests slicing the guanciale thin and wrapping it around prawns, then baking the bundles in the oven and serving over a cannellini bean puree.
And one of the most common uses for guanciale is in a sauce. Teresa Spinelli's favourite sauce traditionally calls for pork jowl and is called amatriciana. She says, "If you can't get pork jowl, you can use pancetta, but pork jowl makes it much better. That's traditional."
This heritage food of Europe is getting a new life as North Americans re-embrace nose-to-tail eating. Spinelli notes while Europeans customarily use the entire animal, pork jowl only recently started finding favour among Edmonton shoppers. "About a year ago, we noticed a demand for it," she says.
Pork jowl is now available at both the Little Italy and south-side locations of the Italian Centre Shop (10878 95th St., 780-424-4869, and 5028 104A St., 780-989-4869; italiancentre.ca). It will be at the west end location too, set to open in May.
Chef Omar notes it has also become popular in the southern U.S., partnered with components like beans, greens and cream. He recommends elements of acidity to balance out the fat content: "Tomato, lemon, wine, apple, vinegars."
The team at Zinc is planning to incorporate pork jowl into their summer menu, launching during the first week of May. Omar laughs when asked if jowl is the next pork trend, on the heels so to speak of the bacon craze and pork belly's popularity: "We were just talking about it when you called."
Jennifer Crosby anchors the Morning News on Global Edmonton. Her favourite Italian words include tiramisu, latte, prosciutto — and now guanciale.
Amatriciana Sauce with Guanciale
Courtesy Giuseppe Mazzocchi, chef of Massimo's Cucina Italiana, who says, "This is a very classic way to use guanciale and a hallmark amongst many other cured pork-based sauces in Central Italy."
A tip on tomatoes from Mazzocchi, "We do not compromise — we use good tomatoes."
Ingredients for 4 people
2 tablespoons (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces (110 g) thin sliced guanciale, cut in strips
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) crushed red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (200 mL) thin sliced white onion
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 28-ounce (793-g) can imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes
Sea salt
12 ounces (340 g) dried bucatini or spaghetti
1 ounce (28 g) grated Pecorino Romano or Sardinian
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale and sauté until crisp and golden. Add pepper flakes and black pepper; stir for few seconds. Add onion and garlic.
Cook, stirring often, until transparent, a few minutes. Add tomatoes roughly crushed, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt, add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until 2 minutes before "al dente." Drain, save 1 cup (250 mL) of pasta cooking water.
Add drained pasta to sauce in skillet and toss vigorously with tongs to blend. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the reserved pasta water and cook until sauce coats pasta and pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes. Add more pasta water if sauce turns too thick.
Stir in cheese and serve.

If Governor Snyder, the Chamber of Commerce and school management groups oppose right-to-work, why are lawmakers talking about passing it in Michigan's lame duck legislative session?
That's the question raised in a new video from Progress Michigan, featuring Michigan Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Rich Studley, who said, "The Governor doesn't support Right to Work … we don't support Right to Work."
Leaders from the left and the right have spoken out about so-called Right to Work, yet some extremist state politicians are attempting to pass a Right to Work law anyway — no matter how much it hurts workers and middle-class families.
Click here to watch and share the new video from Progress Michigan.
Since Monday of last week, over 12,000 people have signed online petitions to let legislators know they are paying attention this lame duck session. Working people want their representatives to focus on creating jobs rather than spending time on so-called Right to Work laws.
Click here to view photos taken as the petitions were delivered.
We've still got a ways to go. Thank you for everything you continue to do to protect working families in Michigan. Let's stand together to make sure our legislators know that Right to Work is WRONG for Michigan.

With season changes, inclimate weather, and shorter days creeping in, skin has a tendency to get dull, dry and neglected. A lot of times we forget that our skin is actually the largest organ in our body. Cold fall winds and dry winter air can be brutal on our precious pores. However, I've picked up on some "skin game changers" lately – everything from beauty products to routine changes to added nutrients – to keep skin feeling supple and beautiful all season long! Here are my Top 5 Skin Game Changers, including some Before and After photos!
5. The Culligan Filtered Shower Head
3 weeks ago I was mere days away from cutting all my hair off. First of all, my hair has turned naturally ombre from the California sun and salt water, which can leave my now-blonde ends extremely dry. There were parts under my crown that were literally dreading, and no amount of conditioner, brushing, combing, or oil treating was working to stop this crazy process. My hair was, in a word, straw. I spoke to a Hair Artist about this at a shoot, and she told me that when she first moved to LA, the same thing happened. She shaved her head TWICE before she found the culprit: her own shower!
Who would have thought that my biggest skin enemy didn't lay in my food, my environment, my skincare routine or my genes? My biggest skin enemy is just plain Hard Water! After researching the water in my area, I found out that I have basically been bathing in Chlorine and Hard Minerals for over a year now!! No WONDER my hair and skin sucks! I ordered the Culligan Shower Head right away, and the results have been AMAZING. The difference is incredible and it feels like showering under a waterfall! No more itchy, dry skin, or worse – the filmy paste that seemed to stay on my skin after I dried off! If you've tried everything in the book and still haven't found your way to clear skin and sexy hair, this $30 purchase is worth every penny! I also installed it myself, which I am probably way too proud about but that goes to show how simple it is! ;)
4. MLS The Youth Dew
May Lindstrom Skin: The Youth Dew is a sample that I picked up at Evolue in Beverly Hills and can't get enough of! With over 20 regenerating oils and infused with CoEnzyme Q10, this self adjusting, skin protecting serum will balance, heal, plump and hydrate your precious skin! It also smells absolutely delicious! When I first tried this at Evolue I spent the rest of the night making people smell my palms – when they weren't glued to my own nose! Once I finally got to put this on my face, I was in heaven! My goodness! Roses, orange peels, olive oil, kukui nut oil! No wonder it costs $120 for less than an ounce! This is the full luxury experience of green beauty, and it addresses problems for every skin type: acne-prone, sensitive, dry, mature, and aging.
3. Osmia Organics Black Clay Facial Soap
I did a review on this soap almost a year ago, but after making another purchase of it recently, it's definitely worth another mention for all my new readers! The breakouts that I suffer from are mostly hormonal – mostly around my mouth, chin and jaw line. Realllly not the best place to have big blemishes when you're a singer or an actress or have a career where people are staring at your mouth most of the time. I also have a mild case of Perioral dermatitis, which can be aggravating, embarrassing, and day-ruining. :(
This is – and I'll say this forever – the ONLY soap I will EVER use on my Face! It's moisturizing, cleansing, and it really works to take care of active breakouts, as well as those "under the skin". Any time I run out of the Black Clay Facial Soap I immediately notice an increase in my "under the skin" breakouts creeping in, and my PD flaring up. I don't recommend anything else to clear your skin up as a natural soap cleanser! At $22 the bar may seem a bit pricey, but it's completely worth it!
2. MLS: The Problem Solver
As I mentioned, I finally made my way over to Evolue (mentioned in THIS POST) last week and got me some samples of some May Lindstrom Skin products at May's own suggestion. I have extremely sensitive skin and am very, VERY wary about throwing down almost $100 for anything if I feel like I can make a healthy alternative myself. Since I most often buy raw materials in bulk and make my own clay masks, $100 is usually my monthly skincare budget.
Needless to say, I am not disappointed! The first thing the sales girl in Evolue did was open me a bottle and have me smell it! Oh, heaven! Raw Cacao, Soil Nutrients, Salts, Warming Spices! Doesn't get much more luxurious than this! I was over the moon to leave with some samples of this goodness and have been using it a few nights a week since. I am really happy to finally have jumped on board with this, considering that 100% of The Problem Solver reviews are super complimentary and amazing!
A lot of products claim to change your skin: I can honestly say that this one actually does! I noticed a change immediately and the ritual of putting this amazing masque on is almost addicting! It's pure Skin Detox: it quickly and effectively fights blemishes, tightens pores, extinguishes inflammation, heals scars, and leaves skin younger, brighter and softer!
1. Fish Collagen
There was definitely a period of time when I was first detoxing that my skin looked especially dull, dry, and almost blue-pale instead of olive and healthy and freckly. No matter what oils I used, vitamins I took, or food I ate, I couldn't seem to get back the healthy, youthful complexion that I had always enjoyed.
For the past few months, I've been taking vitamins that have a high concentration of Fish Collagen. I swear my skin has never looked better! I broke out some photos of me at 18 the other day, just in case I was tricking myself into thinking that new vitamins have literally wiped years off my appearance.
Me 9 Years Ago (circa 2004):
Me today:
I mean, for a difference of almost ten years (NINE YEARS what what WHAT?!!!), I am absolutely astonished! Do you know how many (super delicious but very dehydrating) cocktails I've drank in 9 years?! Do you know how many nights I've stayed up writing Thesis's on Classical Conditioning and MicroBio & Immunology? Do you know how many days I've spent in the sun in 9 years? A LOT. Friggin' Sorcery!
It's nice to be able to acknowledge, too, that this is the only thing that's changed in my daily health routine that would have such a drastic effect! There's definitely a lot to be said about healing your body from the inside out! The benefits of Fish Collagen include:
- Promotes strong and resilient skin matrix
- Promotes skin elasticity and firmness
- Provides the building blocks for collagen synthesis
- Assists in cell turnover in the skin
- Antioxidant for UV generated free radicals
