KYLE OKPOSO RESUMES PRACTICE; Weight unlikely for opener; de Haan out Tuesday; Roloson for 60
1:30 pm – A series of updates from Islanders practice:
Kyle Okposo took part in his first practice today after suffering a concussion 11 days ago in Calgary. He reported that he felt good and would practice all week before a decision was made on his status for the season opener on Saturday. Scott Gordon said Okposo has passed all of the medical tests and Okposo was under no restrictions. (With the Islanders not playing their second regular season game until five days after the opener, do not rule out the team giving Okposo extra time before taking contact).
Doug Weight (groin) took the day off from skating. He said he was aiming for Saturday's opener. His coach was less optimistic: "It would be hard for that to happen," said the coach. Gordon said, "Doug probably pushed himself a little harder than he should have."
Calvin de Haan (groin) will not play Tuesday in New Jersey, although Gordon called the injury "not serious." The 2009 12th overall pick is a possibility to start the year in the NHL. "We've liked what we've seen so far," said Gordon. "I didn't expect him playing a game and having an impact at this level."
Dwayne Roloson is scheduled to play the entire game on Tuesday.
Richard Park and Tim Jackman will be among the few healthy scatches tomorrow because the coaching staff knows what they have in them and it's one more (possibly final) opportunity for bubble boys like Greg Moore, Joel Rechlicz and Jeremy Reich.
I asked Gordon today about Jesse Joensuu. Just wanted to make sure the kid was still on track and didn't show up to Saskatoon fat or anything. The coach had no concerns. "He was better at this camp than at any point last year," said Gordon. "Jesse was disappointed that he didn't take the next step, but he understands it's a progression. I told him, 'Best-case scenario, you play 40 games in Bridgeport and you'll be better for it.' But he also know that if he spends most of the year there, it's for his development."
Training camp stat worth noting: Jack Hillen has been on the ice over four preseason games for just one even-strength goal against, and that was an empty-netter.
Gone to Bridgeport but leaving behind some cautiously optimistic buzz: Mikko Koskinen.
Monday, 11:10 am, Iceworks – Kyle Okposo is back. Calvin de Haan is out today with a sore groin. Trent Hunter and Doug Weight out.
Andrew MacDonald is in Bridgeport. He is injured, so technically he cannot be sent down. Same goes for Mark Katic, Bobby Hughes and Mark Flood.

Most people have some sort of shorthand for those times when they suddenly realize a clear and simple truth. Oprah refers to these awakenings as Aha! Moments, Homer Simpson would probably call them D'oh! Situations (if he were forced to name such things), but around the Who What Wear office, such truisms are simply called Tips. These outfit-centric epiphanies aren't particularly complicated or revelatory, but we think they do inspire change in some small way. The suggestions may be small and straightforwardÂ--invest in a party skirt, fake a peplum silhouette, try festive fancy sandals instead of heelsÂ--but if they nudge you to try something new, that's all we need to be happy! Mushy mumbo-jumbo aside, we do think we've whipped up a stellar batch of Tips today and hope they give you a flash of inspiration or two!
1. Wear festive flats instead of high heels.
While it's true that we love our party pumps, there are other viable festive-footwear options that can look just as smashing. As Charlize Theron demonstrated at an AFI screening for The Road earlier this month, sometimes an embellished pair of flats or sandals strikes an equally impressive note. The actress paired her stunning silver Dior frock (from the French fashion house's Spring 10 collection) with bejeweled Giuseppe Zanotti thongs. Though Theron's exact shoes are only available via special order at Giuseppe Zanotti Design boutiques ($750, style I80039), we think the brand's Flat Jeweled T-Strap Sandals ($680) are quite lovely too. If you're looking for some more affordable options, we can recommend a couple of sparkly Steve Madden styles: specifically the Bride Sandals ($80) and the Billion Sandals ($130). Simply wear with your favorite short metallic dress and for a fashionable and foot-friendly special-occasion outfit!
2. Try a drop-waist dress and leggings.
Typically the ensembles worn to music awards shows are neither stylish nor chic, but at last month's Q Awards in London, Lily Allen bucked conventionÂ--with great results. Unlike some of her more scantily clad peers, Allen showed up in a gorgeous vintage drop-waist dress worn over a pair of leather-like leggings. The contrast of the delicate frock against the toughness of her skinny pants is quite modern, plus we think it's a great cold-weather outfit idea. If you do try this look, just make you go for a dress made out of more feminine materials (satin, silk, et cetera) for maximum impact. Topshop's Drop Waist Ruffle Dress ($90) in cream silk or Marc by Marc Jacobs' Floral Lace Dress ($278) would both work well, especially when worn over Alice + Olivia Latex Leggings ($148) or American Apparel's Shiny Leggings ($46) in Lamé Matte Black.
3. Invest in a killer party skirt this year.
As you'll truly discover later in the week, we adore cocktail frocks to a tremendous degree. But while there's much to be said for a dress, sometimes it's better to invest in one outrageously awesome skirt instead. We were reminded of this fact when we spotted Cynthia Rowley in an uber-festive skirt at the first annual Art Awards at the Guggenheim Museum in New York late last month. The designer was wearing the Printed Feather Tutu from her eponymous collection, along with her own brooch-embellished top and skinny belt (all Spring 10, naturally), styled with a vintage leather jacket, Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, and a clutch by the artist Tom Sachs. Until we can get our mitts on Rowley's exact skirt, we'll make do with some of the other delightful options on the market, such as Madison Marcus' Swanky Skirt ($309) or Topshop's Ostrich Feather Mini ($135) in nude. However, if you'd prefer something glitzy or glittery, do check out the lamé-like look of Torn by Ronny Kobo's Metallic Mini Skirt ($232) in gold or Alexander Wang's Sequined Draped Skirt ($595) in sapphire blue, as both are sure to work well in any champagne situations!
4. Add an ornate belt to your favorite basics.
Some days it's impossible to think about wearing anything besides a few of your favorite basics. However, just because you're wearing wardrobe essentials doesn't mean you're doomed to look dull. If you doubt us, simply check out the ensemble Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore to an art exhibition in London last month and you'll see all the lively proof you need. Though her Helmut Lang Suede Leggings ($460) and ivory Vanessa Bruno shirt (the Silk Pintuck Blouse ($410) is similar) are quite simple, by adding a vintage beaded belt RHW really took things to the next level. You can perk up your classic pieces as well, all you need is a similarly ornate additionÂ--such as Antik Batik's Swar Belt ($175) or Melamed's Mesh Waist Belt ($180)Â--and you'll be well on your way to interesting-outfitville.
5. Show your style with a fun accent.
Some people take fashion very seriously, but we always appreciate the women who incorporate a bit of whimsy into their ensembles. For example, when attending the launch of the Stella McCartney Collection for GapKids, model Heidi Mount could have gone for a sedate headband, but she picked something wonderful instead. Specifically, Mount wore a Maison Michel Mickey Mouse Ears Lace Hair Band ($441) that day, a standout accessory that added much spirit to her outfit. While the Chanel-owned atelier produces the finest pieces, there are loads of standout hair accessories at non-couture prices. Right now we're unabashedly smitten with Topshop's Bunny Ears Headband ($36) in basic black (or with a veil) and are quite over the moon about Benoit Missolin's Black Brass Bunny Ears ($132) and Red Wool Mouth Headpiece ($181) too. Or you can DIY, just follow Monoxious.com's step-by-step instructions!
6. Create a faux peplum with a belt.
As far as silhouettes go, the peplum is definitely having a major moment. Dedicated readers know that we've suggested investing in a few of these on-trend pieces, but if you don't want to buy something, you can always create your own! As Olivia Palmero demonstrated at the Cinema Society's screening of Precious, you can achieve the peplum simply by belting a blouse. While she used a vintage top from the twenties, you can easily use a modern piece. Of course, not all blouses work: for this look you need a shirt that's silky, slightly short, and somewhat boxy, like 3.1 Phillip Lim's Ruffled Silk Henley ($325). (Don't forget that this tip works for print tops too; something like ASOS's Floral Printed Blouse ($48) would be grand as well.) Then simply slip on a narrow belt, like J. Crew's Superskinny Satin Belt ($25) or Banana Republic's Screw-Post Skinny Belt ($35), and your favorite slim skirt or pants to complete the look!

Police in El Centro, Calif., say they have no leads on the two men who stabbed a Marine from Waddington last week.
Cpl. Jonathan C. Woodard, 23, was stabbed multiple times, including in the neck, at 3:20 a.m. March 10 after attending a local fair in the area. He was stabbed just days before he was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan for his second tour of duty.
City of El Centro Police Department Commander Jeff A. Mason said Monday that a friend who was with Mr. Woodard when he was attacked was able to provide police with a description of two assailants.
Since that time, weve searched the area where the stabbing occurred and police have been canvassing and talking to people living in the area, Mr. Mason said. They have also searched video surveillance from nearby businesses.
So far the search of the neighborhood and surveillance video has not been productive, Mr. Mason said, and the investigation is still ongoing.
Cpl. Woodard, who graduated Madrid-Waddington Central School in 2008, is stationed at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif.
Cpl. Woodard and a friend were walking to their hotel in El Centro from a fair after giving up on a taxi cab that did not show up. That is when a group of men came out from behind an alley and attacked Cpl. Woodard, who was walking ahead of his friend, a fellow Marine who broke up the fight and called for help.
The family says Woodard is still in critical but stable condition. He was airlifted to University of California at San Diego Trauma Center. He is being treated for a severed carotid artery and neck wounds.
Were waiting for the swelling in his brain to go down before we can find out anything else, his father, Charles W. Woodard said Monday. He has another surgery today to prevent clots in his leg.
His father said Cpl. Woodards spirit is strong.
He is a fighter. He was smiling this morning, he said. He is starting to remember more. He is able to mouth words to me. He told me he remembered feeling like he was drowning in his own blood.
Meanwhile, friends of Cpl. Woodard have set up a Team Jonny Fund online at www.Gofundme.com.
While medical expenses will be paid for by the Marine Corps, the group hopes to raise $5,000 in support of the familys traveling expenses. Friends and family had raised $2,700 as of 3 p.m. Monday.
Weve been having a lot of ups and downs but its been a good morning, his father said. Were so grateful for the support. It has been super. All we can do now is take it one day at a time.
To donate to the fund, go online to www.gofundme.com/2au79c.

Alberto Giacometti
Christian Hartmann/Reuters
Alberto Giacometti was an Italian-Swiss sculptor-painter who gained a reputation in Paris in the early 1930s with erotic and ironical Surrealist constructions. After turning his back on Surrealism and spending the World War II years modeling the human figure in a tiny hotel room in Geneva, he began producing his proud, precarious, polelike figures, which have been seen as metaphors for the postwar experience of danger and doubt.
Giacometti was an articulate, self-confident and well-informed artist whose sculptures and paintings are ravaged by uncertainty and doubt. His intelligence, independence and generosity fascinated artists and writers like André Breton, Jean Genet, Pablo Picasso and Jean-Paul Sartre. His familiar but exceptionally elusive work has left a mark on painters and sculptors as different as David Smith, Louise Bourgeois, Barnett Newman, Susan Rothenberg, Mark di Suvero and Bryan Hunt.
He was born in the Bergell Valley in Italian-speaking Switzerland in 1901. His father, Giovanni, was a nationally known painter of landscapes and genre scenes. After drawing since childhood and experimenting with sculpture and painting since early adolescence, Giacometti moved to Paris in 1922, when the artistic stage was wide open. Paris remained his home until his death in 1966 at the age of 64.
The Surrealist works that established his reputation in the 1930s are elegant, inventive and perverse. Sculptures like the ''Disagreable Objects'' are phallic and cradlelike, aggressive and embryonic at the same time. They reflect Surrealism's preoccupation with sexuality and Freud, its sense of woman as an object of desire and danger — as a metaphor for the totality of life -- and its attraction to androgyny as a symbol for human duality.

Send $45,000 to LIOS – WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME!
The LIOS School of Saybrook University relies on alumni to help keep our doors open. No matter what your current contribution level is, you can easily increase your gift by almost $45,000 – at no cost to you. How?
Send a student to LIOS
Our statistics show that the vast majority of students who attend and complete one of our programs, don't stumble upon us in an online search or pick up our flyer at a college fair. They seek us out because they know someone who's been to LIOS, perhaps a friend, a family member, or a colleague. They see a skillful consultant at work, a therapist opens up their hidden potential, or they observe a transformation in a friend and they want to know where it comes from. Having experience with a LIOS graduate trumps every other recruitment tool we have. Even a single conversation with a LIOS graduate can plant a seed and, and sooner or later LIOS will reap the bounty.
Send a student to LIOS
I suspect that most of you plant seeds for LIOS on a regular basis, probably without knowing when or how your efforts will result in another student graduating from our program. What I'm asking you to do now, is to be conscious of your influence. You all know someone in your professional or personal lives who could use a LIOS education to transform themselves, make a difference in their communities and ultimately change the world. Talk to them now. Plant the seed.
Send a student to LIOS
Contact me any time with questions, ideas (and students!) at email@example.com. Or send me the names of potential students that you know and who would appreciate a call from me!

Comments about Fender American Standard Strat Tremolo System:
This is a nice tremolo system. the design is nicely made and solid and boosts sustain for my project guitar. The only minor complaint I would suggest is that it would have been nice to have placement scats for the tremolo posts. It was a little bit of a hassle to measure it correctly so that I didn't damage the body. Once you drill there is no going back so future buyers the old statement still applies "measure twice,do it once". outside of that the guitar stays in great tune and it literally plays wonderfully.

Ashes 2013: David Warner could be worth the risk - Alec Stewart
The revelation from Australia coach Darren Lehmann that David Warner is in contention for the first Ashes Test may have surprised a few people.
By the time the teams walk out at Trent Bridge on 10 July, Warner will not have played any cricket since 8 June, when he was suspended for his altercation with England's Joe Root in a Birmingham bar.
He will have trained and hit plenty of balls in the nets, but there is no substitute for time out in the middle and throwing him straight into Ashes battle would undoubtedly be something of a gamble.
During my career, we would routinely play County Championship matches and one-day games in between Test matches and I would have felt undercooked going into a Test without a few innings - and hopefully some runs - behind me.
David Warner's Australia career
- Warner has made 19 Test appearances, averaging 39.46 with the bat. He has made three centuries and seven fifties
- In one-day internationals, Warner averages 29.81 from 38 innings with a strike rate of 80.58
- In 44 innings in Twenty20 internationals, he averages 28.71 at a strike-rate of 139.26
Warner, however, belongs to a different era. Since the advent of central contracts, international players play next to no cricket between Test matches, and have become accustomed to switching between the different forms of the game going into international series with little or no build-up.
Given Warner's style as a batsman - he is a naturally talented striker of a cricket ball - he may be exactly the type of player who can turn it on like a tap and start middling the ball from the off.
We are, after all, talking about a talented cricketer here. In his short Test career, he has already carried his bat through the fourth innings of a Test match against New Zealand, smashed a 69-ball hundred against India in Perth and struck 119 off 112 balls against South Africa's world-class attack in Adelaide.
He was picked in their original squad as one of their leading batsmen because he has the potential to change a game. He is a clever cricketer and could be an effective counter-attacking option if he is moved down the order to number six.
New coach Lehmann has a very sharp cricket brain and has had success wherever he has been, so any decision he makes - in conjunction with the selectors and captain Michael Clarke - will be well thought through.
In his playing days, Lehmann was a high quality batsman with great natural ability and he may see a bit of himself in Warner. I think he understands him and will get the best out of him.
I'm sure they will have spent time in each other's company talking cricket and will have formed an effective pupil-teacher relationship.
If Warner does play at Trent Bridge, he will inevitably cop plenty of flak from the crowds. He will be the pantomime villain and will have to be thick-skinned enough to deal with all the verbal taunting.
In the middle, however, I don't anticipate too many issues between him and the England players. I think what happened that night has been blown out of all proportion and both teams will want to move on and set about the business of trying to strike first blood in the series.
Lehmann's determination to give Warner a clean slate has been typical of the way he has already stamped his authority on the squad and re-energised the Aussie campaign.
By naming his opening partnership a week before the first Test, he is showing clarity of thought and giving both Shane Watson and Chris Rogers the confidence to go out and perform.
From the moment Rogers was recalled to the squad at the age of 35 he was always going to play, the only question mark was over whether he would open. I think it's the right call because his experience of English conditions and the way the new ball behaves over here will be invaluable.
Watson, meanwhile, has shown in both Australia's tour matches, that he can be a forceful and imposing presence at the top of the order.
In scoring a century before lunch at Worcester, he is embodying Lehmann's desire to take the game to the opposition by playing an attacking brand of cricket.
Lehmann played in the era when the Australian team always took the positive action at every opportunity. They weren't playing to stay in games, they were playing to dominate games.
The new coach wants this Australian side to emulate that approach even if they do not have anywhere near the talent of their predecessors.
If you go out there thinking you are not very good, you will play as if you are not very good, but if you are filled with confidence and want to be positive you are much more likely to succeed.
Australia will be looking to lay down their marker on the first Test as soon as possible. England job is to play good cricket themselves and stop the visitors in their tracks.
Fast-tracked Fawad
The news that Pakistan-born leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed has been granted Australian citizenship should not be giving England too many sleepless nights. He has very little first-class experience and it would be a huge ask to expect him to make an instant impact in the Ashes.
He reminds me a bit of Imran Tahir, who was billed as the next big thing when he qualified to play for South Africa but then got smashed out of the attack by Australia in Adelaide.
Pietersen the introvert
I gather that Kevin Pietersen's description of himself as an introvert in a BBC Radio 5 live interview with Andrew Flintoff has caused a few raised eyebrows.
I'll leave the decision on whether he fits that adjective to other people but what I can say is that within the Surrey dressing-room he is a very polite and generous individual.
Believe it or not he can be very quiet, and you can almost forget he is there but when he does talk he is always worth listening to because he has great knowledge about the game.
Surrey on the up
Overseeing the cricket at Surrey, while continuing with my other media and corporate commitments, has been as full on as I expected. I am running up a fair old phone bill, and my mileage has gone through the roof, but I am enjoying every minute of it.
Stuart Barnes, who is running the team on a day-to-day basis, has been quite outstanding and the players have put in some decent performances. We played well in the second half of the drawn game with Yorkshire at Headingley, where I felt we were the only side looking to win the game.
Although we started with a loss at Hampshire in the FL t20, we have responded well with good victories over Sussex and Kent.

I would like to see Warner play. He averages less than 40 and looks like a walking wicket to me..
Comment number 97. Posted by dropbearabroadon 4 Jul 2013 20:22
Obviously we shall just have to disagree on that
Comment number 96. Posted by Rene Artoison 4 Jul 2013 19:38
My point is about Warner, and I repeat it's a disgrace that he remains in the country. You're right, lots of things have happened that shouldn't have (KPs texts, Athers' dust in the pocket, Botham's indiscretions, the Iraq war, the slave trade) any of which could be called morally wrong, and I could express views on all of them, but I only get 400 characters. This is about David Warner.
Comment number 95. Posted by dropbearabroadon 4 Jul 2013 08:35
Fine Rene, so why not open both eyes and present a balanced opinion in the first place?
"if there are similar idiots" - Are you in doubt? Even if you don't follow football the behaviour of English footballers has been a recurring news headline for the past decade or more. In cricket England has had more than enough dodgy escapades that you should think twice before declaring this a moral issue.
Comment number 94. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 4 Jul 2013 01:13
@92, rightly or wrongly they've fast tracked his Australian citizenship. At the moment he isn't a member of the Ashes squad and can't be considered for selection for the Ashes. It's interesting to note that Australia have another young spinner playing against Worcestershire at the moment and not Fawad Ahmed. He isn't in the Ashes squad either but appears to be ahead of Ahmed in the pecking order.
Comment number 93. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 4 Jul 2013 01:03
@86, obviously they'll have to play Warner if two of their other batsmen are injured or ill but that's the only way he'll play in either of the first two Tests.
Comment number 92. Posted by jsfainon 3 Jul 2013 21:43
Stewart is a terrible commentator, he always thinks that taking the contrary side is interesting and clever and without posing a lucid argument for taking that side.
Here he is warming up the Ashes arguments.
My take is that I find it interesting that Oz has fast-tracked a leg spinner, has the world gone crazy that a cricketer warrants government intervention because of a cricket match? How sad.
Comment number 91. Posted by Rene Artoison 3 Jul 2013 20:58
I don't follow either football or rugby, and if there are similar idiots in those teams then they shouldn't be playing either. I don't represent my country, and am not a role model, but if I behaved like Warner has, then I would be sacked instantly, be struck off my professional register, and wouldn't work again for a very long time.
Not sure what english grannies have to do with Warner
Comment number 90. Posted by dropbearabroadon 3 Jul 2013 20:51
"Perhaps it is my opinion that thuggish drunkard louts who attack people in public places shouldn't represent their country in professional sports"
So how does England field either a football or a rugby team then? How many South Africans have English grannies??

Calm down know-it-all and have a jellybean. There's usually plenty around the England team.

I see Clarke is leading by experience and claiming catches that clearly hit the deck..Is this how the aussies will be playing their cricket this summer? CHEATING?
Comment number 87. Posted by Benon 3 Jul 2013 18:57
All this were goning to dominate for ten years is a bit over the top. I would love fro us to dominate for 10 years, more than anything. But, are we as good as warne, gilchrist and co were..........no. And are they as bad as the english 90's team?? I don't think they are.
Its going to be close but will win this series though and Swann will be the difference. Prepare raging turners!!
Comment number 86. Posted by Chadsmanon 3 Jul 2013 18:42
What 84 says!
IMHO what the Aussies were thinking when they grounded Warner for two games was they wanted to retain him as a possibility for the tests in case of a spate of injuries but didnt want to pick him unless their hand was forced.
Comment number 85. Posted by Rene Artoison 3 Jul 2013 18:00
Perhaps it is my opinion that thuggish drunkard louts who attack people in public places shouldn't represent their country in professional sports, but there it is. And its hardly an 'internal affair' as you put it. Trust me, Root and the ECB have been very generous allowing CA to manage this affair themselves, and their management has been weak.
Comment number 84. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 3 Jul 2013 16:52
I don't believe for a moment that Warner is in contention for the first two Tests. They've got seven other batsmen to choose from. If they pick Warner they've got to leave two of the others out. What kind of a message would that send to the two batsmen left out? The top four will be Watson, Rogers, Cowan and Clarke with two of Hughes, Kawaja and Smith at five and six.

"Stewart you seem to have an annoying habit of bigging up any Aussie decision recently."
He's not alone, they're all at it. They could put a pair of pads on Skippy and some would have a wobble . The days where an England team was beaten before a ball was bowled are long behind us. Day 1 Session 1, foot on the jugular, and leave it there.
Comment number 82. Posted by mrmjvcon 3 Jul 2013 15:33
Stewart you seem to have an annoying habit of bigging up any Aussie decision recently. It's almost as if you want them to win or they can do no wrong. Personally I want to see us turn their dominance against us in the 90's into dominance by us throughout the next decade. No mercy - we must be ruthless!
Comment number 81. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 3 Jul 2013 14:48
I don't think it's inconceivable that Compton could yet play in the first Ashes Test. The problem is Bairstow's recent lack of cricket. He didn't play in the CT and he's only had three innings since then in which he hasn't scored many runs. Compton has regained form in county cricket since the NZ Tests and is going well again today guesting for Worcestershire against Australia.
Comment number 80. Posted by El Matadoron 3 Jul 2013 14:08
The Aussies are in such a dip right now that they could literally pick anyone without facing too much scrutiny. While there seem to be no expectations, there's heaps of pressure on England to walk this series. While I'd long for us to repay the favour of a whitewash, the Aussies aren't to be mocked or taken lightly.
Looking forward to not 5, but 10 Ashes tests over the coming months!!
Comment number 79. Posted by paullakeskneeson 3 Jul 2013 13:59
Unfortunately, Tremlett seems to be up to scratch briefly every few years. Great talent and improved the attack immensely Down Under. Still, what's available has been talked up as top class, so that should suffice apparently

Decision Quotes, Sayings about making decisions
Never make a decision when you are angry, never make a promise when you are happy.
Somewhere deep down we know that in the final analysis we do decide things and that even our decisions to let someone else decide are really our decisions, however pusillanimous.
– Harvey G. Cox
One of the most difficult situations is deciding whether you should just move on or hold on a little tighter.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
People who make better choices, judgments, decisions and actions are likely to be more lucky in their lives.
– Dr T.P.Chia
The hardest decision is deciding whether to "walk away" or "try harder".
Do what you think is right. Don't let people make the decision of right or wrong for you.
– Steve Maraboli
Decisions are the hardest moves to make, especially when it's a choice between what you want and what is right.
Don't make a permanent decision for your temporary emotion.
It seems though I felt my decisions we're at best, yet made a turn against me, so now with no hope, no miracles, no love. I' m not only lost, but lost in a world with no solutions.

Mathematical moments — Yutaka Taniyama
Born on the 12th of November 1927 in Kisai, Japan
Taniyama's name is associated with one of the most famous problems in mathematics: Fermat's last theorem. The theorem says that for any whole number n strictly greater than 2, there are no three non-zero whole numbers x, y and z such that xn + yn = zn. Almost 400 years ago Fermat scribbled in the margin of a book that he had a proof for this assertion, which didn't fit in the margin. It wasn't until the 1990s that the theorem was finally proved by Andrew Wiles — and the proof definitely couldn't have been written in any margin!
Andrew Wiles didn't actually prove Fermat's last theorem, but a conjecture which now carries Taniyama's name. In 1955 Taniyama, who was working in algebraic number theory, posed a problem concerning so-called elliptic curves — these are curves defined by points in the plane whose co-ordinates satisfy a particular type of equation. Goro Shimura and André Weil mused over the question and formulated a conjecture: that every elliptic curve should come with a modular form, a mathematical object that is symmetrical in an infinite number of ways. This is now known as the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture.
The link to Fermat's last theorem was made around 30 years later, when the mathematician Ken Ribet realised that if Fermat's last theorem were false, then this would mean that a particular elliptic curve comes without a modular form. In other words, if Fermat's last theorem were false, then the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture would be false also. Reformulating this yet again, if the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture is true, then so is Fermat's last theorem. What Andrew Wiles proved is that the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture is indeed true for a class of examples that is sufficient to prove Fermat's last theorem. QED.
In 1958, just days after his 31st birthday and not long before he was meant to get married, Taniyama committed suicide. His explanation was this: "Until yesterday I had no definite intention of killing myself. ... I don't quite understand it myself, but it is not the result of a particular incident, nor of a specific matter."

Why are some people generous and others selfish? There's no doubt that both strategies pay off under certain circumstances, but research (as well as everyday experience) shows that we are not mere opportunists — some people simply are nicer than others. This raises a question which intrigues evolutionary psychologists: is there a selective force that works in favour of a wide range of personalities, preventing us from all evolving the same optimal character trait? A possible answer has recently been published by mathematicians from the universities of Bristol and Exeter.

There are three new singing stars on the block, but you're unlikely to hear them on Radio 1. The musical talents of HD49933, HD181420 and HD181906, three nearby stars which are hotter and larger than our Sun, were discovered by a group of scientists, led by Eric Michel, using data from the CoRoT space-based telescope. Michel and his colleagues accurately measured accoustic vibrations in these stars that not only make for eerie listening, but also could reveal important information about how all stars evolve.

Gaffes, murder plots, and hockey mums — the US election circus is in full swing. Personality politics is partly a consequence of the first-past-the-post system — but what are the alternatives?

A long, long, long, long time ago, when I was in high school, my school counselor said, based on my test scores and grades, I should go to a technical school rather than to a university or college setting. She felt I would never make the cut in academic life.
At the time I was appalled. The public schools had drilled into our heads that if you didn't go to "college" you were basically a loser. You would never be anything, have anything or do anything important.
At the time I was in public school, high schools still had auto shops, wood shops, machine shops, electronic shops, welding shops, etc. But fewer and fewer students were signing up because they were directed away from those programs. Consequently as I entered the University of Utah and began years of working at a school district at night as a custodian to get myself through school, I saw the demise of many vocational programs at the high school level. Soon auto shop programs and a small wood/crafts shops were all that were left at many schools.
I have never regretted my path into a more academic than vocational world of work, but today we are paying a large price for that reduction in vocational training. As the shops went away, American industry also was sinking quickly, with a lot of heavy manufacturing went overseas.
As I wandered my way through college, I would always hear comments from prior graduates saying things like "I got my bachelors in liberal arts and now I am working in an auto shop." Like there was something terribly wrong with that. Anything that takes away from lifes ambition can be devastating, but don't deride the hand that feeds you, even if it isn't permanent.
I was also taken back one time when a professor of mine at the U told a group of us after a practicum in a laboratory that none of us had done very well because "we were acting like a bunch of auto mechanics" in performing the tasks assigned. I was taken back by that comment, because at the time I was working as an auto mechanic putting myself through school.
The elitism that existed (and still exists) in some circles concerning vocational and industry related education created an atmosphere in this country that almost poisoned it out of existence. In recent years, however, that type of education has made a great come back. While many in public education still think that their charge is to send all the kids they can to a four year college, higher education itself is waking up to the fact that for a society to operate properly, and even to flourish, it must have educated technical workers to keep the machinery of civilization running.
All one has to do is to look around and see that none of us can survive without all kinds of workers and talents. To me the skilled diesel mechanic or carpenter is no less knowledgeable than a highly educated professional; they have different charges to be sure, but are just as important in keeping the wheels of our world greased.
In the last couple of years statistics are showing that nearly 80 percent of graduating high school seniors are not going to college. Most are entering a workforce that is crying for bodies to fill positions. However, those of us who are of an older age know this employment situation will not continue. The job market ebbs and flows and someday many of those jobs that presently require no further education that look so great coming out of high school will evaporate. Then those people will be going back to school, to get some kind of training. And many will not want a four year degree, but will want pertinent, relevant industry related training that they can use quickly and effectively.
Our hats should be off to those educators in our higher education system that see the value of vocational and technical training at their institutions and are doing something about it.

Comments about Marmot Twilight 2P Tent:
Very easy set up, anyone could do it! I think it is a great use of "livible" space. There is headroom where you need it. Tent comes with everything you need included.
The one thing that I don't like about the tent is, the zippers to exit the tent are a little long and you have to reach far to open the tent and get out.
I have purchased a lot of items from Marmot and I have been very happy with their customer service too. If you ever had a warranty issue with anything they would take care of you!

The second phase in a multi-year home renovation project in Ogdensburg is gearing up as the city solicits bids from contractors for work at four Ford Street locations.
Bids will be opened at the Warneck Pump Station in Watertown on Feb. 28.
The project began in 2012 when the city, working with the Development Authority of the North Country, was awarded a $400,000 grant to rehabilitate 12 owner-occupied homes on Ford Street.
The grant money was awarded by the Housing Trust Fund Corporation, a subsidiary of state Homes and Community Renewal.
Already two projects have been completed – 1726 and 1212 Ford St. – and three more homes will be completed over the coming months.
Work on 618 Ford St. is expected to be completed within several weeks and construction will follow at 1032 and 1336 Ford St. later this year, according to City Planning and Development Director Andrea L. Smith.
Ms. Smith said Ford Street is an ideal location for the work due to it being one of the gateways to the city.
The five homes currently under construction are being done by contractor Tim Wunder of Wunders All Trades, Norfolk, and Ms. Smith said both the city and the participants in the program have been very happy with the work.
Ms. Smith said they are hoping to bring other contractors on board in phase two, however, so that multiple projects can be completed at the same time.
The next homes slated for rehabilitation are located at 1118, 1719, 1828 and 2001 Ford St., Ms. Smith said, adding that each projects scope has already been detailed by the city and the development authority with the help of Code Enforcement Officer Gregg A. Mallette.
Some homes will receive extensive and visible rehabilitation including the installation of vinyl siding, roofing and windows. Other homes in the program wont have an obvious exterior update but will have new furnaces or flooring put in.
In addition to working on electrical systems, plumbing, siding and roofing the city is leveraging the grant money to get additional aid from the St. Lawrence County Community Development Program to provide money for new doors, windows and energy efficiency upgrades, Ms. Smith said.
Ms. Smith said the program is on target for completion in 2015 and has stayed within its budget constraints.
Each home rehab has a cap of $30,000 and Ms. Smith said the city and development authority are working closely with contractors to ensure the projects dont go over budget.
I think its worked out really well for us, Ms. Smith said.
In order for home-owners to participate in the project Ms. Smith said they had to demonstrate need and income-eligibility. Household income for a home of one could not exceed $32,350, for example, with the scale reaching $60,950 for a family of eight. Ms. Smith said they are not accepting any more applications to participate in the program.
Were always looking for projects like this, Ms. Smith said. They are great for our city; they are great for our community.
Contractors looking to bid on the program or that want more information should log onto www.ogdensburg.org or www.danc.org/procurement or call Terry Belden from the development authority at 661-3210.

'Best Investment We Ever Made'
If you hear of a donor who pledges more than $1 million to charity ...
Do you think of
a woman who, as a missionary's wife in Ethiopia, lent money to her parents to build themselves a home?
Do you think of
someone who dropped out of high school to be a farm laborer to help support his family?
Do you think of
people who told their five children: We will educate you through university level. We will make sure that you have the down payment for your first house. You have been enabled to stand on your own feet and any more would diminish you. We are giving the rest to charity.
Marian and James Payne will celebrate their 50th anniversary on June 1.
Generous donors who started with nothing do exist: James and Marian Yoder Payne of Richmond, Virginia, originally of Big Valley, Pennsylvania.
In the early 1990s, the Paynes contributed to a named scholarship fund at our seminary. EMU development officer Sam Weaver '66 contacted the couple to thank them. Learning that they had a particular interest in peace, Weaver told them there were folks at EMU dreaming of a study center for peacebuilders.
The Paynes met with John Paul Lederach and Ron Kraybill, two of the handful of people seeking ways to start such a center, and quickly decided that this was a vision they wished to embrace.
They offered to stand behind the first-year operating budget – putting $30,000 of their personal funds on the line – to launch what would become the Conflict Transformation Program. It was an offer the EMU Board of Trustees couldn't refuse. This program has grown into the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP), encompassing 3,000 alumni and trainees working in more than 80 countries.
'a dream come true'
"It has been the best investment we ever made," says James Payne, referring to contributions totaling more than $500,000 by the end of 2007.
"We have lived to see a dream come true. People trained at CJP are indeed making a difference in the world, gradually seeding the concepts of peacebuilding, restorative justice, conflict transformation, and trauma healing in places that we never dreamed of in the beginning," explains Marian.
"The concepts are seeping into schools, the criminal justice system, negotiations between war leaders, the recovery of survivors of natural disasters. It has been amazing to watch!"
If you met the Paynes and chatted with them casually, you would have no idea they are capable of taking advantage of current breaks in the tax code to withdraw $150,000 from their IRAs and pass it to their favorite charity.
They did it in 2006 and will do so again in 2007, when the tax break is scheduled to expire. (See sidebar at the bottom of this web page for more information on the tax break.)
The Paynes live in a three-bedroom retirement townhouse, where the living room and dining room are one, and the yard is shared with their neighbors. They drive one car. They rarely eat out. They live on one income and bank or give away the rest.

And, pretty much, this is how they've always lived. Few frills and no waste.
Marian and James met when both were teaching at Belleville Mennonite School in Pennsylvania in 1956-57.
They married at the end of that school year, treating the 350 people who attended their wedding to the best food they could then afford – potato chips, wedding cake and ice cream cubes.
As newlyweds, they moved to Harrisonburg to enable James to finish his bachelor's degree at Easten Mennonite College.
(James did three stints at EMC – fall of 1949, 1955-56 and finally 1957-58 - before earning his bachelor's degree. Lack of finances, academic preparation, and confidence all came into play, breaking up his academic journey.)
Married students were expected to provide their own housing, so the Paynes bought a dilapidated trailer – one that had no bathroom – in a trailer court on the edge of EMC.

By the late winter, Marian was pregnant and needed to make frequent trips to the communal wash house of the trailer court. In the night she would wake up James to accompany her.
After James graduated that summer, they moved to Howard County, Maryland, where James taught for a year.
Responding to a request from the Quakertown Christian Day School, James served there as principal and 7th and 8th grade teacher.
With a growing family (two children in two years) supported by James' meager pay, Marian and James sought extra sources of income. For two years, they were custodians at the Rocky Ridge Mennonite Church.
Service in Ethiopia
In 1961, they answered a call by the Lancaster County Mission Board to serve in Ethiopia. It was James' second stint. During his first tour in 1952, James fell from the roof of a house he was building. He sustained a brain concussion that proved to have a life-long impact.
To this day, James suffers from constant, sometimes incapacitating, headaches. Overseas in 1961-62, James' problems with his head worsened, and the family – now encompassing two daughters and a son – had to return to the United States after one year.
For the next five years, James taught sixth grade at a public school in central Pennsylvania. Then he got a chance to do graduate work with funding from a soon-to-be-discontinued fellowship. James jumped at the chance and the family headed to Penn State. There the Paynes learned to live on even less.
For EMU's Future
If you haven't reviewed your will recently – or, worse, if you don't have a will at all – it's time to give the matter your attention.
Experts recommend reviewing your will every two to five years. Your life and priorities change. A will can be affected by changes like these:
- New job
- Baby or grandchild
- Death of a parent
- Death of a spouse
- Retirement
- Illness
- New interest, attitudes and causes
Including EMU in your estate plans will enable EMU eventually to accept everyone who is qualified and who seeks an Anabaptist education, regardless of their ability to pay.
In short, bequests are permanent investments in the long-term soundness of EMU and its accessibility to all.
When you look at your will, consider EMU.
Have an IRA?
At Least 70½?
Here's a way to get more from your IRA without paying more to the IRS.
Thanks to new federal legislation in force through Dec. 31 of this year, donors aged 70½ or older can roll over gifts from their IRAs to EMU (or other non-profit charities) on any amount up to $100,000 without claiming increased income or paying increased tax.
James and Marian Payne did this in 2006 and plan to do so again in 2007.

1200 Park Rd.
Harrisonburg, VA 22802
In an attempt to supplement James' meager teaching salary, Marian tried selling World Book Encyclopedias door to door. She hated it. "I suggested she have her credits reviewed and apply to work on her degree," said James. (Marian had attended EMC for the 1954-55 school year, but having no family financial support for her studies, she left EMC to teach at Belleville.)
Marian began to attend undergraduate classes at Penn State. Often they would trade off child care, with Marian handing James the children as he was finishing class and she was heading into one. James did the grocery shopping, often hitting four stores to catch the best sale prices for each item on his list.
"Working together – I doing the shopping and cooking, and she doing the laundry and care for the house, as well as my typing – we both completed our degrees at Penn State," said James. He would earn a doctorate in education from Penn and Marian eventually would earn two masters degrees – in reading and in administration – at Shippensburg University.
Marian recalls that when James received his doctorate in education in 1970, she suggested to their five children that the family go out to eat to celebrate. "They had been out to eat so rarely, the only restaurant they could suggest was McDonald's….So we celebrated at McDonald's!"
At the peak of their earning ability in the 1970s and 1980s, James taught a graduate course in curriculum, math pedagogy in the education department of Shippensburg University, and served as the university's expert on giftedness. Marian was the reading supervisor for the Shippensburg school district.
But Marian had bouts of health problems, stemming from a rare disease that was not correctly diagnosed until 1993. Worried about her continued earning ability, the Paynes decided to put as much money into saving for the future as possible. They heavily invested in tax-deferred annuities, using James' salary as the sole support for the family of seven.
The Paynes did manage to get themselves a cabin in the mountains as a retreat. Not by purchasing it. They and their children built it themselves. The family remains content to use the cabin without modern conveniences, such as running water and electricity.
"When we were thinking about what charity to support, we decided that it would not be one that would support the kinds of undergraduate students who drove past me for years while I walked to campus or who frequented fast-food establishments while we ate frugally at home," says James, only half-joking. "They seemed to have plenty of money while we were counting our pennies."
Both James and Marian stopped earning salaries in their late 50s. The doctors weren't sure what was causing Marian's health problems – which included a heart attack, large calcium deposits on her extremities, and extremely high cholesterol levels – but "they told me the probability of her living to old age was very slim," said James.
James decided that he wanted to spend Marian's little remaining time with her, enjoying her company. So they both retired – she at age 56 on social security disability and he at age 58 on early retirement.
But Marian's health didn't worsen. She found her way to the National Institutes of Health where she continues to receive experimental medicines and help in understanding how to handle her rare disease – sitosterolemia. She makes a point of eating right and walking to keep fit.
Meanwhile the five Payne children went on to finish their degrees and establish themselves professionally. The eldest is a physician; the second and third are engineers; the fourth, a computer specialist who is now retooling herself to be a school counselor; and the fifth, who earned a doctorate of law, works for the State Department, serving as consul general at U.S. embassies around the world, including in Iraq.
Seeking to write their will, the Paynes wanted a worthy cause that would last long after they were gone. With the help of Sam Weaver, their thoughts turned back to the college they had left 40 years ago – to a college from which Marian did not graduate and in which James hardly had smooth sailing. Both had earned degrees and worked at better-known institutions. Yet only the Mennonites seemed to be "putting their money where their mouth was" in terms of showing the world alternatives to violence and war.
Marian and James Payne today.
Today, the Paynes not only give lump sums to EMU on an annual basis – sometimes sweetening the pot by offering to match the dollars of new donors – they have allocated every dime from anything remaining in their estate to the same cause: the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding.
Their children, four of whom have visited the Center with their parents, fully support this decision, sometimes giving their own gifts to the Center in honor of their parents.
James never tires of saying, "Best investment we've ever made."
Once, when his physician-daughter Barbara Swan heard her father, she shot back in mock horror: "Dad, I thought we kids were your best investment!" (Barbara and her husband David, another physician, are also major CJP supporters.)
James looked sheepish and agreed. "You are, but I just want other donors to know that we've never regretted the investment we first made in 1995 and continue to make now. It's the second-best investment we ever made."
"It's okay, Dad. You can say it's the best."

Comments about Gator GPA-450-515 Speaker Bag:
I ordered this part from Musicians Friend to use for my Behringer B215A speaker. According to spec, this Gator bag should work and doesn't fit. Not even close. I took a tape measure and measured the size. The bag exactly measured 27"W x 15.5"H x 14"D which is the size for Gator GPA-E15 bag. GPA-450-515 should measure 27-1/2"W x 17-1/2"H x 14"D according to Gator spec. The bag label is still marked GPA-450-515 when the actual part is GPA-E15. This is truly a sloppy job by Gator. I don't think MF is aware of this mess. Hopefully, MF takes some measure to get back to Gator.
