Read: Wojtek Wolski Is Working With A "Hockey Guru"
In the Toronto Star, David Feschuk writes about 50-year-old Jari Bryski. Bryski runs a hockey school where he has worked with many NHL players, like Steven Stamkos and Jason Spezza, since before they were teenagers.
Feschuk writes that the Rangers Wojtek Wolski was part of a foursome that included Spezza, Jeff Skinner and Mike Cammalleri who were working with Bryski during the offseason.
Michael Del Zotto tweeted about Bryski as well. Marty Biron also worked with Bryski this offseason.
Wolski is also being educated on proper nutrition. He also worked with Barb Underhill this summer.
He said during the season that he wasn't happy with his game and that he needed to play better.
It seems like Wolski is putting in the work to make himself a better player and the player that the Rangers thought they were going to get when they acquired him. He has the talent to be special and is in a contract year. The two of those together, along with this work, could mean a good season is on the way.
He will probably get a chance to play with Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik, but he had his best success last season while playing with Derek Stepan and Mats Zuccarello. He scored 25% of his points playing with those two.

If I set Global variables to "OFF" I should still be able to use "$POST, $GET ect to retrieve values from a form.
Does this mean that the receiving page will only take note of the values actually posted (or getted!!) from the form therefore no one can try and call the page by entering values directly into the URL.
Please tell me that's right!!!!

In response to sequestration actions, the Air Force and Air Combat Command officials have canceled aerial demonstration team performances to include the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds past April 1.
Officials said this decision will allow the Air Combat Command to reallocate flying hours to combat readiness training, combat readiness and deployment commitments.
Officials said this training will ensure the strategic air defense forces are ready to meet the challenges of peacetime air sovereignty and wartime air defense.
Officials said the Thunderbirds were scheduled to perform more than 60 demonstrations at 38 locations between March and November.
Officials said the squadron's mission will continue, even though the 130-person team will not be traveling after March.
Officials said there will be one last performance of the Thunderbirds.
The Thunderbirds will perform, as scheduled, at the Tico Warbird Airshow on March 22, 23 and 24. This will be the last time visitors get to see The Thunderbirds, until the sequestration issue is resolved, officials said.

Cameron Washington, a member of the SFWGS '94 for 6 years, returns to SFWS this year as a Nursery parent. He is the founder of Russian Hill Projects (www.russianhillprojects.com), a film and music production company, and is an award-winning filmmaker, music producer and musician.
Cameron started in Kindergarten with Monique and continued in the grade school through fourth grade with Mrs. Ricketts after which he left for a year of homeschooling followed by public school. He says, "Kindergarten with Monique is ingrained in my brain with some of my best school memories." Even though Cameron left halfway through the grade school, he remembers his time at Waldorf as by far the best time of his schooling, both academically and holistically, and credits his time here with teaching him many of the tools that continue to inform him as an adult. He remembers his early grades math classes as being exploratory—"touching and feeling the math"—rather than his later experiences when the process was less important than the correct answer. He says that Waldorf's whole emphasis on process and really understanding each step set a "good foundation for lifelong learning… it is a pretty amazing system."
Since graduating from high school in 1998, Cameron has worked with actors, filmmakers and musicians around the country as he has built his career in the entertainment industry. He started out in the San Francisco music scene and through connections found himself drawn to LA and in New York, where he moved in 2004. In New York, he started to explore independent film, and developed experience with producing, writing, composing, and the vast array of media surrounding entertainment. He is an adviser for the Martha's Vineyard Film Festival and also works with the New York Underground Film Festival. His first feature film, "High School Ripped Me a New One", won Best Comedy at the New York International Independent Film Festival and the Atlanta Film Festival. To pursue this career, Cameron has had to be quite entrepreneurial; a creative way of being that he feels was rooted in those early years at SFWS.
Cameron moved back to San Francisco in 2009 when he and his wife Natasha Dantzig were expecting their first child. He knew immediately that he would send Parker to SFWS—he feels like being a parent almost allows him to "make up for lost time." He is very excited about the education he sees his children embarking on. "With this complicated, globalized world, there is a lot to take in, and Waldorf gives this foundation to kids, it gives them the foundation to operate and navigate the world that& we live in. It teaches deep listening and how to be aware of your surroundings and in social settings. It is the creative foundation of the work that I'm doing."

BEALETON, Va. (WUSA) --The Fauquier County Sheriff's Office have released a new composite sketch of the man sought in an attempted abduction of a 13-year-old girl in the Meadow Brooke Subdivision in Bealeton, Va.
At approximately 6:45 a.m. Wednesday, the girl was walking north in the 10900 block of Blake Lane to a school bus stop, say authorities, and walked past a white van parked on the curb. Inside the van were two males. The girl thenheard someone walking behind her on foot. She was suddenly grabbed from behind and a man tried to force her into the van, but she managed to break free. The girl then ran towards the bus stop and then ran home.
The van has only been described as a white van with a cargo style side door on the passenger side. Police say the van was seen running a stop sign at the intersection of Route 28 and Oak Shade Road at 6:50 a.m. It was apparently speeding in front of a dark gray Jeep Cherokee, and it made several vehicles on the southbound side of Rt. 28 brake abruptly, say police.
One suspect is described as between 5'7" and 5'8" tall and slender, who is possibly white or Hispanic and in his 30's. Authorities sent out an updated composite sketch of the suspect on Friday.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 540-422-8650 or Fauquier County Crime Solvers at 540-349-1000.

JulieSan Diego, CA, USAPerfect Ringlets!When used correctly, no other gel has worked with my hair quite like this has. I knew my hair was super thick and wavy but I had no idea that it could also be tamed and curly! I get my hair REALLY wet in the morning and let it separate into chunks, then I lightly scrunch it up with a paper towel to get rid of excess water and apply plenty of Arc Angell. After diffusing, my hair looks incredible! Full of body with separated and defined curls that are still soft and flexible - not at all crunchy! I swear by this product! The before and afters aren't great - I wish you could see how consistently perfect my curls come out now... it's amazing.58 out of 59 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Flying is the most convenient mode of transportation for traveling to Thailand, as visitors can fly to Thailand on non-stop routes from many corners of the globe on both international and Thai airlines.
Furthermore, Thailand's central location makes Thailand an ideal hub for exploring the rest of Asia. In addition to the primary international airport located in Bangkok, visitors from abroad can fly to Thailand on international flights destined for Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, and even Udon Thani and Hat Yai.
Domestic flights are also easy and convenient, cutting down on journey times and often costing less than travel by car or rail.
Charter flights to Thailand from Europe or Asia may arrange to land in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, or Hua Hin.
As the major hub for air travel in and around Asia, a number of low cost airlines now serve Thailand for both domestic and international routes, and now flying to Thailand is both convenient and inexpensive.

- How to Read a Study Record
This trial will pilot test intervention strategies to increase utilization of HIV testing and gain knowledge for designing a clinical trial to evaluate prevention strategies to reduce HIV sexual transmission in the general population in Russia. The study will assess whether external (cost, convenience) or internal factors (low perception of own risk, reluctance to identify a partner as at-risk, fear of stigma) drive Russian women's reluctance to be tested and if peer support impacts their decision. A randomized experimental manipulation, comparing opt-in vs. bundled opt-out testing approaches, followed by focus group discussions, followed by a second-chance testing offer will be used to inform these questions. The answers will enable the international research team to engineer and then test an HIV testing promotion strategy in Russia. The project will collect preliminary data for a larger study to develop an evidence-based program to reduce the HIV transmission in this high risk population.

TaundraHelp My Damaged HairI recently used the smooth 'n shine semi-permament hair tamer, and I was very disappointed with the results. My hair is a mess and I can't do anything with it, it made my hair worse. I straighten my hair with a flat iron but it will not stay straight very long. It made my hair hard, even after I condition it is still hard. I am so frustrated with my hair I don't know what to do. My hair was good until I used this product, I was looking for an alternative to using a relaxer. Can you tell me what I can do to restore my hair , reverse the effects of this product,and take out the frizz and soften it again?5 out of 5 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

KaylaChicagoI Had The Same ProblemMy hair was the same way after using this product and I even went out and bought a home deep conditioner to use to try and bring it back to life. I ended up having to just suck it up and go to a professional salon for a deep conditioner and hot oil treatment. My hair is still a little iffy in between salon visits but my stylist is slowly bringing it back to life. I wouldn't recommend trying to fix it on your own, go to a stylist and pay for a deep conditioner. Your hair will thank you!

New Years Eves
In my teens, most New Year's Eves were spent watching the pre-taped ball drop in Time Square with Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve (B.S. – Before Seacrest.). I drank Dr. Pepper and dreamed of days when I would "have a life." I envisioned parties like the one in Holiday Inn and An American In Paris. These parties have yet to materialize.
This is not to say that I haven't experienced some memorable New Year's moments:
There was that big, gay party in San Francisco when the Weather Girls were lowered from the ceiling on a stage singing their hit, "It's Raining Men."
That time at a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme party in New York where Karen and I were the only ones that bothered to dress up. When it was time to go, we couldn't get a cab in the snow and walked a dozen freezing blocks in stilettos, tight black dresses, and opera length gloves. We gave up on getting a ride and had a 3:00am breakfast at an all-night diner.
There was an artsy warehouse party on the bay in San Francisco for the New Year's welcoming 1984. At midnight David Bowie's "1984" was thundering. Magic-ish.
There was more than one New Year's Eve spent getting lost in the Hollywood Hills while trying to find "the party" resulting in midnight being celebrated cursing in the car. All dressed up and nowhere (that we could find with our crappy directions) to go.
I have concluded that the big New Year's thing just isn't my deal. Later tonight, in the first moments of 2010, I plan to be where I am every night – asleep in bed with a hyperactive dog, a cranky cat, Mr. Rosenberg, and quite possibly a stray 3 year-old.
And I've never had more of a life than I do right this minute.
Happy New Year.

Any party in San Francisco is a great party. Totally jealous of those!ReplyDelete
I had never seen this clip before, but now having seen it, I know that I will be rocking the giant purple Norma Desmond turban tonight like that lady on the right.

Happy New Year to you...I hope it's GREAT for you!

Yeah that "American in Paris" party is the dream isn't it? Of course I would take an 18 minute ballet with Gene Kelly any day of the year. Happy New Year my friend.ReplyDelete
You read my mind. I too was looking for the Hollywood Hills party, had several SF parties and plan to be in bed asleep around 11pm tonight. I love youz Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

O'FALLON, Mo. (KSDK) - After a four month investigation sparked by a grieving family, prosecutors in St. Charles County announced they will not be filing charges in the drowning death of one time Gateway Grizzlies outfielder Kent Gerst.
Gerst, 24,was foundSeptember 9 in Peruque Creek in O'Fallon after he had gone missing the day before. He was discovered in less than a foot of water after what police said was an accidental fall.
Family members however disputed that theory and provided evidence to investigators that Kent Gerst had actually been out with friends and was viciously attacked by another man.
In a statement provided to NewsChannel 5 by the Gerst family, they claim to have witnesses who told them how Kent was "sucker punched" by an acquaintance while socializing at an O'Fallon bar.
Gerst reportedly retreated from the attack only to be assaulted a second time by the same man. Family members believe their son left the altercation and ended up in the creek due to being disoriented from the attacks.
The medical examiner ruled the death an accidental drowning. The report indicated Gerst was still conscious when he first entered the water, he had a broken right wrist, a fractured rib, and multiple areas of scrapes and abrasions on his face and upper body.
The report also suggested the injuries did not come from a fall as police initially thought.
Despite the family's diligence in having the person responsible for the attack on their son to be held accountable, the Gerst family was informed by prosecutors Wednesday no criminal charges would be filed in their son's death.
Kent Gerst was a professional baseball player who was a 2006 draft selection of the Chicago White Sox, and who later played with the Gateway Grizzlies based in Sauget. He was a graduate of Fort Zumwalt West High School.

Original FBI agents on D.B. Cooper case speak
SEATTLE -- On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man named Dan Cooper boarded a plane headed to to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and showed a flight attendant a bomb.
At the airport, Cooper released the passengers in exchange for $200,000 and four parachutes and asked to be flown to Mexico. He jumped from the plane somewhere near the Oregon state line. His body has never been found.
And so begins the story of D.B. Cooper. It's been told many times over, but the famous Northwest hijacking mystery has never been solved.
Without an explanation, many have provided their own endings to the story. Some even claimed to be related to the legendary thief. Others paid thousands of dollars for tattered $20 bills of the recovered ransom money.
John Detlor and Bob Fuhriman have spent years thinking about what might have happened to Cooper after he jumped. The two were on duty when the FBI received its first D.B. Cooper call.
"I looked at an agent near me and said, 'what's a hijacking?'" said Fuhriman.
Before he knew it, the agents were already on the move.
"The big race was probably getting the parachutes," said Detlor.
Detlor set about getting the chutes while another agent worked on getting the money.
When Cooper freed the passengers and took off for Mexico, it never occurred to the agents he was only along for a part of the ride.
"Nobody really expected him to jump," said Detlor.
But Cooper did jump, from 10,000 feet up in the air, never to be seen again.
Back in Seattle, meanwhile, Fuhriman sorted the freed passengers for FBI interviews. That's when he heard a reporter ask for the hijacker's name.
"Somebody said something like 'D.B Cooper.' I heard 'D.B. Cooper' there," he said.
The name stuck and the mystery grew. Cooper, meanwhile, grew into a legend.
"In America, there's kind of a folk hero type of thing that can get started sometimes," Fuhriman said. "When you really look at it, they're anything but a hero."
Every so often, something new surfaces and even those who had stopped wondering get pulled back into the mystery all over again.
Just a few months ago, an old parachute was found near Amboy. The FBI initially thought it may have been Cooper's, but that later proved to be false.
Officially, the FBI believes Cooper died in the jump. But other hijackers who later copied Cooper's crime managed to survive.
Fuhriman and Detlor say the FBI has questioned more than a thousand suspects over the decades. But the case remains open, and the FBI believes a new lead could jump start the case.
The retired agents decided to share their stories as the FBI celebrates its 100-year anniversary.
Puyallup couple: Cooper had sex change operation
A local couple has written a book which claims D.B. Cooper managed to escape the law by becoming a woman.
In Legend of D.B. Cooper: Death by Natural Causes, authors Ron and Pat Forman claim the famed hijacker was their friend who had a sex change operation. They say Barbara Dayton admitted she was Cooper before she died in 2002.
The FBI reviewed the claims and said Dayton was too short and had the wrong-colored eyes to have been Cooper. But Ron says he has his own suspicions about the FBI's claims.
"If it came true that she got away with this and lived a normal life and died of natural causes, it might be (that) they don't want to see the publicity," he said.

Marketers love digital media, plain and simple. The digital platform gives marketers opportunities to create conversations and consumer relationships that heretofore were not possible. Brands are being built and results are being generated due to digital's expansion within the marketing mix.
But marketers are also frustrated by the lack of "viewability". In 2012, according to various sources, 1.8 trillion display ads were paid for, but could not be seen. We are close to realizing a material improvement to this fundamental issue: viewability. Yes, the viewable impression is nearly here. The Media Rating Council (MRC) expects to lift its Viewable Impression Advisory by the end of this year, and at that time marketers will eagerly start buying digital media on viewable metrics. Publishers and agencies, we hope you're ready.
Marketers reportedly waste billions of dollars annually in display ads that are not viewable. ANA's Board of Directors and the larger marketing community have demanded that viewability become the basis for digital currency and transactions.
In February 2011, when ANA joined with IAB and the 4A's to start the Making Measurement Make Sense initiative, we recognized a tremendous shortfall in digital spending productivity. We saw a substantial confidence gap in understanding the value of marketing investment in display and video advertising. We were horrified that the media that was "supposed to be the most accountable" was turning out to be the least accountable. With great anticipation, we are now just a few months away from resolving a significant driver of this dilemma.
The foundation of this excitement is the overdue shift from served impressions to viewable impressions. It gives marketers the assurance that consumers get to see the ad that they paid to place. Critically, it opens the opportunity for apples-to-apples cross-platform comparisons that will increase marketer confidence in the development of intelligent and capable multi-screen marketing plans. It provides marketers with the accountability they need to embrace digital more enthusiastically. There's also a great benefit for publishers, agencies, and others that succeed in making the transformation to viewable, as they will become the preferred partners of these hungry marketers. The upside is enormous for all those that make the shift.
We recognize, however, that the move to viewable is rattling many businesses to their cores. Publishers need to adopt SafeFrame to increase the proportion of their inventory that is measurable for viewability, and to adjust the very constitution of their operations to manage this important currency change.
We understand that the system will be imperfect. Refinement of viewable impression transactions will continue even after the MRC Advisory is lifted. For example, new complexities in discrepancy resolution will need to be explored and resolved
There is no turning back. The marketing community has waited too long and wasted too much money not to make the leap to viewable. We cannot be frozen by fear or perfectionism either. Without forward motion, we will undermine the advancements already established. We will also undercut future enhancements that will make digital media a more appealing brand-building investment for marketers.
The viewable impression will be the foundation of fundamental innovations such as the Digital GRP. Creating a GRP that is comparable to that in other media is crucial for the evolution of cross-platform analytics. Marketer's inherent challenge to enhance integrated marketing would be dramatically reduced by a "common GRP." This would facilitate improved decision-making and resolve cornerstone issues such as marketing mix modeling and media budgeting decisions. Combined with the growing use of the common coding power of Ad-ID, marketing measurement for publishers, agencies, and marketers would be turbocharged.
For the digital media industry, the only question is how fast we can implement these historic changes. The MRC is bounding onwards, completing the work needed to lift the advisory and continuing to guide us toward a more accountable media marketplace. For agencies, forward motion means being ready to rely on the clarity provided by these new metrics to advise and act in the best interests of marketers. For publishers, it means adopting SafeFrame now and being ready to satisfy marketer demand for viewable impression transactions by the end of the year.
This is the age of accountability. If you're ready to meet the demands of the day, you'll be greatly rewarded. But if you're not a participant, you'll run the risk of being left on the sidelines. Let's do this all together and move the industry decidedly forward.
