Read: Who The Rangers Would Protect If The League Had An Expansion Draft
In The Hockey News they decided to expand the NHL and give Quebec and Markham, Ontario teams. In order to fill out those teams, they came up with a protected list of players for each team based on the NHL rules on protecting players from 2000 when Columbus and Minnesota came into the league.
The rules to protect players are: 1 goalie, 5 defensemen and 9 forwards or 2 goalies, 3 defensemen and 7 forwards.
Players left unprotected, by rule, needed to have played in at least 40 games in 1999-2000 or 70 games in 98-99 and 99-00 combined.
For the Rangers, they protected:
- Henrik Lundqvist
- Michael Del Zotto, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal and Anton Stralman
- Brian Boyle, Ryan Callahan, Rick Nash, Marian Gaborik, Carl Hagelin, Brad Richards, Taylor Pyatt, Mike Rupp and Derek Stepan
Players left unprotected, who are on the current roster, are Arron Asham, Jeff Halpern, Steve Eminger, Stu Bickel and Marty Biron.
Note: Chris Kreider is on the Whale roster so he likely doesn't need to be protected and since Michael Sauer is injured he may be automatically protected.
Update: 12:02PM: The only Rangers player selected in their expansion draft was Martin Biron

"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." Most of us have heard this piece of advice on more than one occasion. Yet, this was exactly the case with a famous Neanderthal fossil discovered in a peat bog near Hamburg, Germany. Prior to its discovery, the evolutionary timeline of ape-like creatures remained extremely "fuzzy" as it approached modern man. There simply were not any fossils that shed light on this period. But a single discovery dated by Professor Reiner Protsch cleared up the picture. Many years ago, he was invited to date the famous skull, which he later pronounced to be the vital missing link between Neanderthals and modern humans. He dated the skull at 36,000 years old, allowing it to fall neatly into the evolutionists' timeline between Neanderthals and modern man. Finally, thanks to Protsch, the gap had been filled. All the pieces were in place.
For evolutionists, it was too good to be true. And indeed, it was. On February 18, 2005, Protsch was forced to retire in disgrace after a Frankfurt University panel ruled he had "fabricated data and plagiarized the work of his colleagues" (see "Anthropologist Resigns in 'Dating Disaster,' " 2005). If this scenario sounds familiar, you are exactly right (see, for example, Piltdown Hoax). Once believed to be a world-renowned expert on carbon dating, Protsch's entire professional career is now being questioned. The university noted: "The commission finds that Prof. Protsch has forged and manipulated scientific facts over the past 30 years" ("Anthropologist Resigns…").
Protsch's work first attracted suspicion when scientists at Oxford wanted to double-check the authenticity of his dates and verify the ages of many previously reported fossils using modern techniques. Oxford officials insist that this "dating disaster" was discovered during a routine examination, and was not an attempt to discredit Professor Protsch. The fossils he had dated were just in a long line of others that were being rechecked. According to Thomas Terberger, the archaeologist who discovered the hoax: "[A]nthropology is going to have to completely revise its picture of modern man between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago" (as quoted in Harding, 2005). He continued: "Prof. Protsch's work appeared to prove that anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals had co-existed, and perhaps even had children together. This now appears to be rubbish" (emp. added).
But the Neanderthal skull was not the only forgery Oxford discovered. Protsch also had paraded "Binshof-Speyer" woman before the public, stating that she was 21,300 years old. Yet the new Oxford date puts this woman living at 1,300 B.C. Protsch also claimed that "Paderborn-Sande Man" walked the Earth 27,400 B.C., and yet the corrected figure reveals that he died only a couple hundred years ago—in A.D. 1750! Futhermore, Protsch also is being investigated for a scandal in which he allegedly tried to sell 280 chimpanzee skulls to individuals in the United States for $70,000.
Evolutionists are quick to point out that this is how science works—that it is self-correcting. And there is a great deal of truth to that statement. However, one must question how such scientists can continue to support evolution being taught as "fact," knowing that much of what we believe to be true today will have to be "self-corrected" in the future. Why not allow students to "examine the controversy" and discuss possible problems with evolutionary theory? How many students did Professor Protsch affect with his forged information? Likely, that number is in the thousands. After all, his dates "looked good" and "fit the evolutionary timeline," which meant textbooks would be quick to pick them up. Never mind that the material was a complete hoax.
According to the World Net Daily Web site, Rudolf Steinberg, Frankfurt University's president, "apologized for the University's failure to curb Protsch's misconduct for decades. 'A lot of people looked the other way,' he said." But what good does that apology do when it comes to unraveling the lie that was sold to the public for so many years? The article went on to report: "Chris Stringer, a Stone Age specialist and head of human origins at London's Natural History Museum, said: 'What was considered a major piece of evidence showing that the Neanderthals once lived in northern Europe has fallen by the wayside. We are having to rewrite prehistory' " (2005). How many times must we rewrite evolutionary history? Don't students deserve better? Don't we all deserve better?

Munich's city centre is a pedestrian zone, so many of its attractions can be reached on foot, which is also the most pleasant way to explore certain parts of the city. The city's efficient and integrated public transport system is excellent for getting around beyond the centre; it consists of buses, trams, the U-bahn (subway) and the S-bahn (suburban train) that operate from about 5am to 1am, with hourly buses and trams servicing main routes throughout the night. Tickets must be validated on entering stations or on boarding, and are transferable between all forms of transport, and valid for two hours after being stamped as long as one travels in the same direction. Fares are zone based and the system is well-organised and easy to understand. There are various day passes available as well as the München Welcome Card, which covers all transport within the city and includes discounts to the main attractions. Taxis are safe and convenient, but expensive. You can hire a car easily but it is often better to use public transport in the big European cities to avoid frustration and confusion. You can also hire bicycles at very little cost and this is a lovely way to get around.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
220 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily.
The international access code for Germany is +49. Telephone numbers in Germany can range from four to nine digits. There are surcharges on international calls made from hotels; it is often cheaper to use public telephone boxes in post offices, which use phone cards. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns.

Munich's weather can be unpredictable. In general summers are fairly warm and very wet, characterised by sunny weather interspersed by dramatic thunderstorms, while winters are cold with light snowfalls. In summer (June to August) average temperatures range between 50°F (10°C) and 73°F (23°C), and in winter (December to February) average temperatures range between 25°F (-4°C) and 39°F (4°C). The Alps cause two unique aberrations in Munich weather: southwesterly winds crossing the Alps can push up temperatures markedly even in winter; and northwesterly winds blowing from the mountains bring unseasonably low temperatures, rain and even snow on odd days. You can easily end up experiencing quite a variety of weather on a stay in Munich. The most popular time to visit is in September, for Oktoberfest, but summer is the peak tourism season. Munich is really a year-round holiday destination because so many of the city's attractions can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.
Frequent commuter trains run by day and most of the night to various Munich stations, including the main stations for connections to major European cities. Taxis are available, as are buses to many regional destinations and the main train station. It takes about 20 minutes by train and about 45 minutes by road to reach the city centre.
Car hire companies represented include Avis, Europcar, Hertz, National and Sixt.
Taxis are available from both terminals. The journey time to the city centre is approximately 45 minutes and taxis cost around €35 to €55.
The Airport Shuttle Bus travels between the two terminals.
The airport has several restaurants and bars, duty-free and other shops, shower facilities and a pharmacy. ATMs and currency exchange desks are available in Arrivals and Departures.
Parking in lots P1-5, P7, P8, P20, P26 and P35 is €4 for the first hour, up to €29 per day. Long-term parking is cheapest in lots P41, P80 and P81, at €19 per day.
Free wifi is available in both terminals.

Read: Is This The Rangers Slump and How That Impacts Rick Nash
At NY Mag, Joe Delessio says that by losing two of their last three games and only scoring five goals in the process, the Rangers are in the midst of a slump.
Delessio writes, "There's no reason to panic here: The Rangers have done an excellent job this season bouncing back after losses and avoiding prolonged slumps. (They haven't lost consecutive games since mid-December.) And so if this is as bad as it gets — two losses in three games following a terrific ten-game stretch — they'll be just fine."
The Rangers have not lost back to back games since playing Dallas and St. Louis in December.
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks says that depending on how the Rangers fare in their next two games, Glen Sather may be willing to sweeten the Rangers reported offer for Rick Nash.
This wasn't supposed to be the year for the Rangers, who have been building an organization meticulously to the owner's delight. Everyone knows that, too.
But now they're here. And now they're slumping the week before the deadline with a marquee, big-contract player whom the general manager likes and who can fill an immediate need on the market.
It will be fascinating to see how much impact the 27 hours between 7 p.m. tomorrow and 10 p.m. Saturday will have on Sather's pursuit of Nash.
To believe it will have no impact is foolish.
The trade deadline is Monday at 3PM.

This Game Is About More than Just Lin
Chris AlvinoThe focus in the media for tonight's game is primarily surrounding Jeremy Lin and his first game against his old team. We all know his situation – we all lived through it.
We all know what he meant to this team and this city. More importantly, we all know what this team and this city meant to him in his rise to fame. There is no need for me to delve deeper into any of that.
From where I sit, I view this game as being about much more than Jeremy Lin or Ray Felton. To me, I view this game as a very important one for a Knicks team coming off a tough loss on Wednesday night – a loss in a game that was very, very much winnable game.
Tonight, the Knicks face a mediocre Rockets team in the process of a rebuild. Beating the Rockets tonight has a deeper meaning that just beating Lin. Elite teams take care of business against weaker teams. In the midst of a tough schedule, the Knicks need to handle games like tonight's. I understand that teams cannot win every night. Even the best teams lose from time to time. The key is to show bounce back ability. The key is to avoid losing streaks.
The Rockets have talent and James Harden is a tough assignment for Ronnie Brewer, JR Smith and Jason Kidd. Top down though, the Knicks should be able to nab a W tonight. The Knicks will close out November with 5 games against Houston, Detroit, Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Washington. Am I wrong to think the Knicks can go 4-1 in that stretch?
A win tonight would be a good start.

EL RENO — Mario Guzman was ready to pack his bags and head to Argentina or Turkey.
He had an inoperable aneurysm that could burst, five children to raise, and not a lot of time.
EL RENO — Mario Guzman was ready to pack his bags and head to Argentina or Turkey.
He had an inoperable aneurysm that could burst, five children to raise, and not a lot of time.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration wasn't moving fast enough on approving the device that could save his life. Even though a trip to another country for the surgery would be costly, it was starting to look appealing.
"If it wasn't for Dr. Tytle constantly calling me and ensuring me it would go through, I might have gone to Argentina or Turkey a year before," Guzman said. "But I'm glad we waited."
In March, Dr. Timothy Tytle, an interventional radiologist at Mercy Health Center, used a newly approved pipeline stent to repair Guzman's aneurysm.
About a month ago, Tytle brought Guzman in to see how his aneurysm had changed since the surgery.
"We were very surprised to see the aneurysm, as large, as complex as it was, is totally gone," Tytle said. "We don't anticipate the aneurysm will ever recur and fortunately for him, as is not the case for everyone, he only had one aneurysm so there's nothing else we have to address."
An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of an artery because of weakness in the wall of a blood vessel, according to the National Library of Medicine. A fusiform aneurysm is commonly defined as an elongated, spindle-shaped dilation of an artery.
Guzman was diagnosed about two years ago with a fusiform aneurysm. He initially went to the doctor because of repeated headaches. Doctors initially thought his allergies were bothering him but discovered he had viral meningitis and the aneurysm behind his right eye.
The base of his aneurysm was the size of his eye socket and was several inches long. Doctors did not want to take the risk of operating, and at the time of his diagnosis, the stent eventually used in Guzman's surgery was not yet available.
Guzman and his wife, Alisa Guzman, discussed going to another country for the procedure, but the trip and surgery would cost the family about $50,000. Thankfully, in April 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the pipeline stent.

Bhutan's conservation network
Geographical location:
Asia/Pacific > Southern Asia > Bhutan
Bhutan's Biological Conservation Complex is a network of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, nature reserves and biological corridors covering 14,80km2, or 35% of the country. This conservation complex allows tigers, snow leopards, rhinos and other wildlife to migrate between protected areas.
WWF is working with the government of Bhutan and other partners to manage the complex. Joint projects address a number of conservation threats, including deforestation, poaching, overgrazing and human-wildlife conflict.
The B2C2 landscape (9 protected areas and corridors) has human settlemnts in it. Depletion of forest resources in and around the settlements is a major concern against the biodiversity conservation agenda.
The various issues that project will address include:
1. Human-wildlife conflicts.
2. Excessive extraction of timber and fuel wood.
3. Overgrazing of forest by livestock.
4. Poverty.
5. Illegal trade and poaching.
6. Unsustainable collection of biological resources.
7. Limited institutional capacity to carry out biodiversity conservation initiatives.
6. Inadequate transboundary cooperation.
7. Direct threat to some wildlife species (snow leopard, Asian elephants and white-bellied heron).
Overall objective
Conservation and management of the natural biodiversity of B2C2, in harmony with people's values and aspiration.
Specific objectives
1. Reduce livestock grazing pressure.
2. Reduce consumption of timber and fuel wood.
3. Enhance linkage between sustainable livelihoods and biodiversity conservation.
4. Conserve important species (snow leopard, Asian elephants and white-bellied heron) and their ecosystems.
5. Strengthen WWF and its partners.
6. Enhance transboundary cooperation.
Human-wildlife conflict/poverty/overgrazing
- By providing livestock intensification package such as improved breed of cattle, pasture development and livestock product processing and marketing. This is anticipated to reduce the livestock population and resulting human-wildlife conflicts.
- Furthermore, the project is also trying to quantify the gravity of overgrazing on the forest through desktop research and case studies on grazing. The information so generated will be used to inform stakeholders (policy and decision makers, conservationists and communities) to draw necessary measures to mitigate threats of overgrazing.
Excessive extraction of timber and fuelwood
- Alternative energy technology is introduced and demonstrated with the high-end resource users. E.g. bulk electric cookers to subsitute traditional fuel wood cookers at the various government institutions (armed forces, schools, monk bodies, etc).
- Also subsitution of the wooden shingleps by corrugated galvanized iron (CGI) roofing at household level is anticipated to save trees. A household with CGI sheets will not cut tree for shingleps for at least 20 years. In the process the household also will save time, which can be used for some other productive purposes. Currently villagers cut trees and prepare shingleps to roof their houses.
Unsustainable collection of biological resources
- Collaboration with the Forestry Resources Development Division (FRDD) of the Royal Goverment to design non-timber forest products (NTFPs) inventory methods and guidelines for sustainable harvesting.
Institutional capacity
- Support the Department of Tourism of the Royal Government to develop a calibre of professional ecotourism guides to promote ecotourism initiatives.
- Support the Royal Manas National Park (RMNP) to upgrade the skill and knowledge of the staff to carry out effective patrolling and anti-poaching works.
Ilegal trade and poaching linked with transboundry issues
- Organize and facilitate transboundary meetings between the Bhutanese and Indian cross-boarder counterparts to facilitate common understanding on illegal trade and poaching and draw up regulatory measures.
Direct threats to wildlife species
- Conduct athreatened animals' status including demographic, distribution and ecological studies in collaboration with the Nature Conservation Division of the Royal Government.
Human-wildlife conflict/poverty/overgrazing
- A case study on migratoring livestock grazing completed for the Eastern and the Western region of the country.
- A preliminary discussion with the Renewable Natural Resources Research Centre Jakar completed for carrying out the desktop research on livestock grazing and establish the gravity of grazing issues.
Excessive extraction of timber and fuelwood
- 2 sets of bulk electric cooker installed, one at the Natural Resources Training Institute and another at the armed forces. Preliminary assessment of impact of alternative energy technology revealed that a set of cookers can save about 48 trees and 60% of the institute's revenue annually.
- In 2006, one more set of bulk electric cooker and one set of bulk rice cooker were installed in the National Institute of Education (NIE) in Samtse, Anim Dratshang and Thimphu respectively. The monitoring of performance of cookers is on-going.
- Also in 2006, Singneer, a village with 32 households was supported with CGI roofings. The timber consumption for house roofing is being monitored.
Unsustainable collection of biological resources
- A preliminary discussion with the Forestry Resources Development Division (FRDD) of the Royal Goverment completed. A three-year project design is underway.
- A project grant agreement was signed in January 2006 with the Royal Government to prepare a national guideline for sustainable harvesting of the NTFPs and the buiding up of the NTFP database at FRDD.
- A review and analysis of the status and potential of NTFPs in Bhutan is completed in June 2006 with a assistance of an external consultant.
Institutional capacity
- Grant agreement signed with the Department of Tourism to develop 35 professional ecotourism guides. Out of 35 trainees trained, 23 trainees were awarded certificates by the Department of Tourism of the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
- Support to the Royal Manas National Park extended to upgrade the skill and knowledge of the staff to carry out effective patrolling and anti-poaching works.
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS) capability of WWF Bhutan upgraded. Mr Echay Kumar, GIS staff, was sent on training to the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) to learn advanced remote sensing. Necessary hardware such as digitizer, laptop and other assessories were procured for the WWF GIS lab. Also latest satellite imageries (1995) were procured.
- The Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN) staff attended a three-week training on Participatory Monitoring in Cavite Manial Philippines on 13-31 March 2006. According to RSPN the training has significantly enhanced their capacity to manage community-based projects.
Ilegal trade and poaching linked with transboundary issues
- Discussion to organize transboundary meetings underway with the Nature Conservation Division (NCD) of the Royal Government.
- More than 50 inspectors from the Bhutan Food and Agriculture Regulatory Authority (BFARA) were trained on Plant Health and Endangered Species to effectively supervise and control the potential illegal trade in Indo-Bhutan borders. The inspectors were educated in identification of wildlife parts and products, nature conservation rules (2000) and law enforcements thereof.
Direct threats to wildlife species
- A 3-year grant agreement already signed with the Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN) to conduct status study on the white-bellied heron in Bhutan.
- In 2005-2006, 2 rounds of white-bellied heron population and habitat surveys completed covering the Eastcentral, Westcentral and the Western parts of Bhutan. In total 15 birds were recorded including 2 juveniles in Spring 2005.
- A project grant agreement was signed with the Royal Government in 2006 to assess the population and habitat status of the snow leopard. Action plan for the conservation of snow leopards will be developed at the end of the project.
- More than 20 forestry field staff from the territorial division and parks were trained on MIKE methods on the Asian elephant survey and use of GPS in early 2006.
- Summer season survey of elephant population, habitat and migratory pattern completed. The survey report is anticipated to be out by end of June 2006.

Accidents and incidents may require investigating to prevent reoccurrences. Initially a witness, a Public Safety Officer or the injured person will provide details of the event and any contributing factors. Any action taken at the time of the event to render a condition safe should be noted. The Director of EHS may investigate further to consider the necessary actions required to prevent a reoccurrence or removal of the hazard.
The dictionary definition of an accident as "an unforeseen event" is not particularly helpful in the context of health & safety. The following definitions describe events from a health and safety perspective:
• Accident – Any unplanned occurrence that leads to the injury of any person involved in activities; including diseases or medical conditions.
• Incident – Any unplanned occurrence that leads to property, plant or equipment damage. Any situation having the potential to cause injury or damage, but not actually doing so. A near miss.

Terry says he has 8 options in the bullpen as closer
Following the game, Terry Collins said Frank Francisco erupted on the home-plate umpire during the ninth inning because he thought pitches that were called balls should have been strikes.
"All strikes," Francisco said after the game. "I threw one a little high, because he didn't call one at the knees. I threw a straight fastball right there. He didn't call anything. And then I went a little higher to see. And he didn't call the higher one. There's nothing you can do about that. It's their call. I feel like I should say something."
Collins said he is concerned about Francisco, who, as far as he knows is healthy. However, he's equally concerned about other parts of the team, following two rough losses to close out the road trip.
"We'll address it," Collins said. "I have eight options," he replied, when asked if he has other options in the bullpen to be his closer in place of Francisco. "But, I'm not going to address that right now, when emotions are running high."

On April 16, 2013, Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, published a rhapsodic paean to the Obama administration's "honeymoon" and "lovefest" with the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"Earlier this month, the Brookings Institution hosted what would have been unthinkable a decade ago: a fulsome discussion, at times an outright lovefest, between officials from the U.S. government and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, lauded Washington for bolstering the court's efforts to bring war criminals to justice."
Thus begins the article, "America's Honeymoon With the ICC: Will Washington's Love for International Law Last?" penned by Professor David Kaye of the University of California, Irvine, School of Law.
"For the first time," writes Kaye, "the United States is not only cooperating with the ICC but encouraging cooperation and information-sharing with the court, which is based in The Hague."
"In short, although the United States is not a party to the ICC's charter, the Rome Statute, it is arguably doing as much as, if not more than, member states are doing to bolster the work of the court," enthuses Prof. Kaye. He approvingly reports, "U.S. officials enthusiastically attend the ICC's annual meetings " and "speak in support of the court at the UN Security Council."
Prof. Kaye reports:
In February 2011, Washington voted with a unanimous UN Security Council to refer the worsening situation in Libya to the ICC. The same year, Obama sent 100 U.S. military advisers to central Africa to train local troops tracking down Kony and other members of the LRA wanted by the ICC...
"Even more remarkable, the administration's embrace of the court has been met with little, if any, resistance from Congress," notes Kaye.
As we reported here last year, "Big Push for UN's International Criminal Court,"
The push is on to empower the International Criminal Court, the United Nations' global tribunal that claims universal jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression. Over the past year, the Obama administration, acting primarily through Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has been ratcheting up the campaign to legitimize the ICC as a global prosecutor and Supreme Court.
Together with a coterie of think tanks, media allies, and non-governmental organizations, the administration is attempting to establish precedents for U.S. participation in, and support for, the ICC action agenda, notwithstanding the fact that the U.S. Senate has not ratified the 1998 Rome Statute establishing the ICC.
We pointed out in that article that CFR member David Kaye is one of the chief promoters of an empowered ICC. We reported:

IngredientsFor the gnudi
- 1 pound semolina flour
- 1 pound sheep's-milk ricotta
- A 1-ounce chunk of Parmesan, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
To finish the dish
- 7 tablespoons slightly chilled unsalted butter
- 20 good-sized sage leaves
- Kosher salt
- A handful of finely grated Parmesan
Special Equipment
- Parchment paper; disposable piping bag (or a resealable plastic bag)
PreparationMake the gnudi:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add about three-quarters of the semolina to the sheet, spreading it out to form a more or less even layer. Put the rest of the semolina in a medium bowl. Make sure there's space in your fridge to hold the baking sheet.
Combine the ricotta, parmesan, and salt in a large bowl. Use a large wooden spoon to mash and stir the mixture until it's well combined. Put the mixture in a disposable piping bag (or resealable plastic bag). With your fingers, work the mixture toward the tip and twist the top of the bag. Use kitchen scissors to cut an opening about 1 1/4 inches across at the tip of the piping bag (or a bottom corner of the plastic bag). Pipe the mixture onto the semolina-lined tray in 3 or 4 long straight lines, leaving an inch or two of space between them.
Hold a pair of kitchen scissors perpendicular to the tray (you could use a knife, but the scissors make it faster and easier) and snip each strip of dough every 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches along its length. You want to turn each strip into 9 or 10 pudgy little logs.
Working with one little log at a time, gently press the ends between your palms to make the log shorter and a little pudgier, almost round. Try not to form any creases as you do this (the gnudi shouldn't look like little bums) or any pointed edges. Hold the log gently in the palm of one hand over the bowl of semolina. grab a large pinch of semolina and sprinkle it over the gnudi, gently turning the gnudi so the semolina coats every bit of it. Carefully return it to the semolina-covered tray, and repeat with the rest of the logs. Make sure you leave a little space between each one on the tray.
Dust the semolina remaining in the bowl over the gnudi. Cover the tray tightly with plastic wrap, and pop it into the fridge. Keep the gnudi in the fridge, turning them over once a day and covering them again, until they're firm and no longer feel dampgive it at least 3 days, but no more than 4.
Cook the gnudi:
Fill a large wide pan or shallow pot two-thirds full with water, salt it generously, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, transfer the gnudi to a large plate, giving each one a gentle but assertive shake to remove any loose semolina.
Put 3 tablespoons of the butter in a shallow pan large enough to hold the gnudi in one layer, add 1/3 cup of the hot salted water, and set over medium heat. once the butter has melted, take the pan off the heat.
Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to another large pan, set the pan over medium-high heat, and let the butter melt and foam until it goes slightly nutty and turns light golden brown. Add the sage to the butter in one layer and cook the leaves just until they've gone crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with salt. Keep the brown butter in a warm spot at the back of the stove, off the heat.
Ease the gnudi into the boiling water and cook, gently shaking the pot once (don't stir the gnudi), for 2 minutes. (You might want to set a timer. don't cook them any longer, or they'll fall apart.) Set the pan with the butter-water mixture over high heat. Use a slotted spoon to quickly transfer the cooked gnudi to the butter-water and cook at a vigorous simmer, shaking the pan now and then (again, don't stir the gnudi), until the butter sauce thickens slightly and begins to cling to the gnudi, about 3 minutes.
Serve the gnudi in the pan or divide the gnudi among warm shallow bowls. Sprinkle on the parmesan and a little salt and garnish with the sage leaves. drizzle on as much of the brown butter as you'd like.

Cooks' Note: At The Pig, I use sheep's-milk ricotta, because I like the gentle acidity it has. But as long as you use really moist, soft, creamy ricotta, you can get away with using one made with cow's milk.

Though we spend pretty much all day, every day talking about the world's most stylish women, the fact that there are loads of fashionable fellows out there is certainly not lost on us! Chalk it up to being a bit boy crazy lately--can you blame us when gorgeous guys like Ryan Gosling and Andrew Garfield are taking over the silver screen?--but we've decided to take a break from the ladies for a minute and dedicate today's installment of What They Wear to some of our favorite well-dressed men. Now, it's not hard to see that today's batch of handsome guys have style in spades, but seeing as menswear is not our primary forte, we thought it would be best to call on Mr. Porter's Jodie Harrison to lend us some expertise on the subject.
As longtime admirers of both Net-A-Porter and Mr. Porter (no doubt you know the former, the latter is the menswear equivalent!), we were beyond ecstatic when Harrison agreed to be our guest expert for today's What They Wear: Stylish Guys story! It's obvious the woman knows what she's talking about when it comes to stylish menswear: as the Editor of Mr. Porter, she oversees all of the editorial content for noted site, including its weekly magazine. And before joining Mr. Porter in 2010, Harrison spent seven years at British GQ as the magazine's Executive Style Editor. Taking time out of her very busy schedule, Harrison was kind enough to give us her thoughts on each of today's featured looks along with a slew of lust-worthy products to help the men in your life construct similarly savvy ensembles. Hope you enjoy--we sure do!
WHO: Ryan Gosling
WHAT: Snapped arriving at LAX back in June.
WEAR: 3.1 Phillip Lim jacket; green t-shirt; Levi's jeans; lace-up boots.
WHY: It's true, dear readers, Ryan Gosling can do no wrong in our eyes. Whether he's playing the ultimate romancer in Crazy Stupid Love or sporting a well-assembled outfit in his off-duty hours, he always manages to make our hearts go aflutter. Speaking of the latter, the actor recently caught our eye at LAX earlier this summer, when he wore a casually cool ensemble consisting of a 3.1 Phillip Lim leather jacket, a basic green tee, rolled-up Levi's and lace-up boots. Happily, our guest expert is also a fan of Gosling's en route outfit choice! "He's the kind of guy you hope and pray you'll end up seated next to on a long haul (although fate usually hands you someone high on Ambiens)," Harrison says. "This airport ensemble ticks all my dressed-down sartorial boxes: battered leather jacket, a what-do-I-care? T-shirt, worn-in straight-leg denims, some I'm-at-home-in-the-outdoors chukka boots and a grisly looking, real man pooch. He's nailed it, AGAIN!"
GET THE ESSENTIALS: MCQ Worn Leather Biker Jacket ($1590); Levi's Vintage Clothing Chest Pocket T-Shirt ($85); Kitsune Blue Slim Fit Selvedge Jeans ($340); Quoddy Leather Lace-Up Boots ($515).
WHO: Jamie Hince
WHAT: Leaving his home in London two months ago.
WEAR: Navy blazer with light blue trim; blue t-shirt; dark-wash jeans; gray suede boots.
WHY: With a rock uniform that is always smart and thoughtfully constructed, Jamie Hince was a natural choice for today's story. The British guitarist--we're super fans of his band The Kills--consistently puts together outfits that are not only chic, but have a cool insouciance to them. In regards to today's featured look, Harrison commented: "Mr. Moss loves a skinny-jeans and suede boots combo almost as much as his new wife does, and you know what? It works!" We have to agree one hundred percent with our menswear expert. Also noteworthy is the way Hince mixed up his look. "The cropped blazer with contrast trim adds a welcome hint of formality," Harrison says. Indeed!
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Burberry London Mansford Peak Lapel Blazer ($795); Acne Age Scoop Neck Cotton T-Shirt ($90); Burberry Prorsum Slim Fit Washed Jeans ($350); Rag & Bone Worn-Effect Leather Belt ($125); Maison Martin Margiela Scored Leather Boots ($895).
WHO: Jim Sturgess
WHAT: Arriving at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual luncheon in Beverly Hills early last month.
WEAR: Lanvin suit and shirt.
WHY: Here at WWW, we're fans of the unexpected, which is why we're so enamored with the gray Lanvin suit Jim Sturgess recently selected. The almost-metallic hue and subtle checked print makes for a visually intriguing and standout choice. "As one of the hottest new actors to emerge from the UK of late, Mr. Sturgess knows what is expected of him: smart casual, with an emphasis on the casual," says Harrison. "Overall this look is as cheeky as the chap himself; scruffy yet entirely lovable."
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Alexander McQueen Prince of Wales Check Suit Jacket ($1520) and Trousers ($795); Paul Smith London White Striped Cuff Shirt ($150); Polo Ralph Lauren Reversible Leather Belt ($85); Paul Smith Vintage Style Leather Brogues ($600).
WHO: Penn Badgley
WHAT: Spotted at the "Summer Party on the High Line" in New York back in June.
WEAR: Calvin Klein shirt; Marc Jacobs pants; Maison Martin Margiela shoes.
WHY: The words "effortlessly cool" come to mind when we think of Penn Badgley, especially when it comes to the look he put together for a party on the High Line in New York earlier this summer. The actor impressed Harrison with his laidback look too. "Mr. Badgley seems to understand that for an informal alfresco event, you really can't go wrong with a pair of rolled-up navy, slim-fitting chinos and a crisp white shirt, " she says. It's definitely easy style at its best! As for Badgley's footwear, well, he wins there too. "The Margiela lace-less shoes add just the right amount of interest below the ankle," Harrison says, and we agree!
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Yves Saint Laurent Fitted Cotton-Blend Shirt ($345); Etro Straight Leg Cotton Trousers ($410); Maison Martin Margiela Slip-On Oxfords ($750).
WHO: Kanye West
WHAT: Snapped at the CFDA Awards a few months ago.
WEAR: Crème blazer; white t-shirt; Balmain jeans; Stubbs & Wootton slippers.
WHY: Kanye West has been stirring up plenty of buzz in the fashion world lately, thanks in large part to rumors that his highly-anticipated first clothing line will debut at New York Fashion Week this year and of course, his hip and smart sense of style. West has turned up in a number of top-notch ensembles recently, our favorite being the look he put together for the CFDA awards back in May. Harrison's thoughts? "A typically bold look from the style-savvy Mr. West," she says. "The white tuxedo jacket looks crisp and elegant, counteracted well with some casually rolled-up sleeves and lived-in denim."
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Richard James Silk and Linen-Blend Suit Jacket ($705); Acne Age Scoop Neck Cotton T-Shirt ($90); Rag & Bone Straight Washed Jeans ($215); Luis Morais 14K Yellow Gold Anchor Bracelet ($2225) and 14K Yellow Gold Skull Bracelet ($1615); Church Sovereign Embroidered Crown Slippers ($335).
WHO: Colin Egglesfield
WHAT: Dolce & Gabbana suit; Zara shirt; Hugo Boss shoes.
WEAR: Arriving at a charity event at the Sunset Tower in Hollywood earlier this year.
WHY: You could say it was love at first sight with Colin Egglesfield. Sure, he's a handsome fellow, but he's also got impeccable taste when it comes to fashion, which, as you know, is a top-notch quality in our book. "Every man needs a slim suit in his wardrobe and Mr. Egglesfield show us exactly why that is: it's a fail-safe event outfit," Harrison says. "His ridiculous good looks and elegantly shaped shoes means he can pretty much get away with anything." Personally, we were particularly pleased with the way the actor styled is shirt slightly unbuttoned, giving his after-hours look a relaxed, down-to-earth vibe.
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Dolce & Gabbana Martini Wool and Silk-Blend Suit ($2095); Ralph Lauren Black Label Cotton Blend Formal Shirt ($295); Gucci Classic Leather Belt ($285); Jimmy Choo Mayfair Derby Shoes ($795).
WHO: Andrew Garfield
WHAT: Photographed at the 36th Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Choice Association Awards early this year.
WEAR: Band of Outsiders suit; Dolce and Gabbana shirt; Prada tie; Rachel Comey shoes.
WHY: While Andrew Garfield's off-duty ensembles typically consist of layered casual separates, the up-and-coming actor has no problem when it comes to dressing for the red carpet. "It's a quintessentially British attempt at dressing up that suits Mr. Garfield's "who me?" sort of attitude," Harrison says. The actor often goes for a slim suit, but it was his nonchalant styling that made this look particularly interesting. "He's made a nod to formality with his decidedly undone silk pocket square and got the shoe pretty much bang-on with a pair of "experienced" chocolate brown lace-ups," Harrison states. Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure: it's working!
GET THE ESSENTIALS: Burberry London Milbury Two Button Wool Suit ($1095); Gucci Slim Fit Cotton Shirt ($355); Dolce & Gabbana Narrow Knitted Tie ($195); Charvet Silk Polka Dot Pocket Square ($95); Dolce & Gabbana Patent Leather Derby Shoes ($695).--Jessica Baker

Every day people tune in to The Writer's Almanac on public radio and hear Garrison Keillor read them a poem.

"A pretty dandy candy jar. The range of poets is wide, the tone is unpretentious, and the poems are all...good." San Francisco Chronicle
"No false advertising here; just, as compiler Keillor says, good poems, written accessibly in common language by English-language writers....These are poems to live in comfort with all one's life." Ray Olson, Booklist (Starred Review)
"[T]here are some poems that make you stop and turn up the volume, and those are what he's collected here. It's a very eclectic selection....[A] step up for poetry." Library Journal
"[Keillor is] Will Rogers with grammar lessons, Aesop with no ax to grind, the common man's Molière." The Houston Chronicle
"Keillor's choices lean heavily toward works that tell a good story or paint a tangible picture....

(a) No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color, or in contravention of the guarantees set forth in section 1973b (f)(2) of this title, as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) A violation of subsection (a) of this section is established if, based on the totality of circumstances, it is shown that the political processes leading to nomination or election in the State or political subdivision are not equally open to participation by members of a class of citizens protected by subsection (a) of this section in that its members have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice. The extent to which members of a protected class have been elected to office in the State or political subdivision is one circumstance which may be considered: Provided, That nothing in this section establishes a right to have members of a protected class elected in numbers equal to their proportion in the population.

Congressional Purpose and Findings
Pub. L. 109–246, § 2,July 27, 2006, 120 Stat. 577, provided that:
"(a) Purpose.—The purpose of this Act [see Short Title of 2006 Amendment note set out under section 1971 of this title] is to ensure that the right of all citizens to vote, including the right to register to vote and cast meaningful votes, is preserved and protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.
"(b) Findings.—The Congress finds the following:
"(1) Significant progress has been made in eliminating first generation barriers experienced by minority voters, including increased numbers of registered minority voters, minority voter turnout, and minority representation in Congress, State legislatures, and local elected offices. This progress is the direct result of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 [this subchapter and subchapters I–B and I–C of this chapter].
"(2) However, vestiges of discrimination in voting continue to exist as demonstrated by second generation barriers constructed to prevent minority voters from fully participating in the electoral process.
"(3) The continued evidence of racially polarized voting in each of the jurisdictions covered by the expiring provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 demonstrates that racial and language minorities remain politically vulnerable, warranting the continued protection of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"(4) Evidence of continued discrimination includes—
"(A) the hundreds of objections interposed, requests for more information submitted followed by voting changes withdrawn from consideration by jurisdictions covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and section 5 [42 U.S.C. 1973c] enforcement actions undertaken by the Department of Justice in covered jurisdictions since 1982 that prevented election practices, such as annexation, at-large voting, and the use of multi-member districts, from being enacted to dilute minority voting strength;
"(B) the number of requests for declaratory judgments denied by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia;
"(C) the continued filing of section 2 [42 U.S.C. 1973] cases that originated in covered jurisdictions; and
"(D) the litigation pursued by the Department of Justice since 1982 to enforce sections 4(e), 4(f)(4), and 203 of such Act [42 U.S.C. 1973b (e), (f)(4), 1973aa–1a] to ensure that all language minority citizens have full access to the political process.
"(5) The evidence clearly shows the continued need for Federal oversight in jurisdictions covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 since 1982, as demonstrated in the counties certified by the Attorney General for Federal examiner and observer coverage and the tens of thousands of Federal observers that have been dispatched to observe elections in covered jurisdictions.
"(6) The effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been significantly weakened by the United States Supreme Court decisions in Reno v. Bossier Parish II and Georgia v. Ashcroft, which have misconstrued Congress' original intent in enacting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and narrowed the protections afforded by section 5 of such Act [42 U.S.C. 1973c].
"(7) Despite the progress made by minorities under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the evidence before Congress reveals that 40 years has not been a sufficient amount of time to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination following nearly 100 years of disregard for the dictates of the 15th amendment and to ensure that the right of all citizens to vote is protected as guaranteed by the Constitution.
"(8) Present day discrimination experienced by racial and language minority voters is contained in evidence, including the objections interposed by the Department of Justice in covered jurisdictions; the section 2 litigation filed to prevent dilutive techniques from adversely affecting minority voters; the enforcement actions filed to protect language minorities; and the tens of thousands of Federal observers dispatched to monitor polls in jurisdictions covered by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"(9) The record compiled by Congress demonstrates that, without the continuation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 protections, racial and language minority citizens will be deprived of the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, or will have their votes diluted, undermining the significant gains made by minorities in the last 40 years."
Pub. L. 94–73, title II, § 208,Aug. 6, 1975, 89 Stat. 402, provided that: "If any amendments made by this Act [enacting sections 1973aa–1a and 1973aa–5 of this title, amending this section and sections 1973a to 1973d, 1973h, 1973i, 1973k, 1973l, 1973aa, 1973aa–2, 1973aa–3, 1973bb, 1973bb–1 of this title, and repealing sections 1973bb–2 to 1973bb–4 of this title] or the application of any provision thereof to any person or circumstance is judicially determined to be invalid, the remainder of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 [this subchapter and subchapters I–B and I–C of this chapter], or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such determination."
