Rangers @ Hurricanes
RBC Center, 7:00 p.m. Thursday
Rangers record: 27-18-3
Hurricanes record: 22-18-6
The Rangers didn't look injury ridden or offensively challenged as expected last night at the Garden. They need to ride the offensive wave of their 7-0 dominating win over the Maple Leafs as they get right back to work against the Hurricanes tonight in Raleigh.
The Hurricanes are reeling from a home-and-home series loss to the Bruins this week which included a 7-0 pounding in Boston and a tight 3-2 loss in Carolina where they outshot the B's 45-28.
The Rangers have managed to claw their way through tough games and tough times but have yet to do so with the consistency necessary to solidify a serious playoff run. They haven't been able to get a winning streak of more than three in a row yet this season. Now is the time to pounce while the Canes are down.
With leading scorer Brandon Dubinsky (out 3-4 weeks, stress fracture left leg) and essential power forward Ruslan Fedotenko (out 2-4 weeks, ACL sprain) added to the ever growing injured sideline yesterday, sniper Marian Gaborik will especially be leaned upon. Gaborik's scoring touch seemed to be reignited as he netted four goals with line mates Sean Avery and Artem Anisimov, who combined for seven assists last night.
Another multi-point performance might be the best confidence boost as he's had two other hat tricks followed by dry spells this season.
Martin Biron should get the start in net to give Henrik Lundqvist a breather as the Rangers play four games in six nights before the All-Star break.
Hurricanes' captain Eric Staal was chosen to be one of the All Star game captains. The question seemingly on everyone's mind: will he or won't he choose his brother, Rangers' defenseman Marc Staal to his squad? Every time the brothers' face off, it's a hardnosed battle between the shutdown D-Staal and the scoring center Staal. Tonight will be no different.
Head coach John Tortorella was smart to limit the ice time of his top defensemen (Dan Girardi, Staal) and lean on Chris Drury's fourth line more in last night's rout to help keep his key players fresh for the upcoming schedule.
If Chad Kolarik and Brodie Dupont are anything like their fellow Connecticut Whale call-ups (Mats Zuccarello, Kris Newbury, Ryan McDonagh, Dale Weise) they'll seamlessly fill in the blanks.
The Hurricanes are 1-0-1 against the Rangers this season. Last time the two teams met, the Rangers squeaked by with a 2-1 win in overtime thanks to rookie Zuccarello. It wasn't easy beating Cam Ward who was sharp with 33 saves. The Rangers will need to get shots to the net early and often to get him off his game.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Honors Program at Point Park University is to enhance the academic experiences of qualified students who desire a challenge, take responsibility for learning, and seek intellectual and personal growth. This especially motivated community of learners has opportunities beyond the classroom to develop to the fullest potential through community/University service projects, colloquia and leadership activities.
Honors Program Slideshow
Honors students will be expected to participate in Honors Program activities on and off campus because the program serves as a catalyst for innovative development not only within the curriculum but also within other University courses and within the larger community.
The goals of the Honors Program are to enhance students' educational experiences and prepare them for further study or careers after graduation and to develop bright, motivated students. We believe that Honors students should continually challenge their intellectual limits, working creatively and seriously to reach their highest potentials as scholars and leaders.
The Honors Student
We're looking for students who want to get the most out of college by participating in the program which goes above and beyond career training, which challenges their thinking, and which considers the whole person as a member of the community. Honors students will demonstrate initiative and experience depth of study beyond the conventional expectations of a traditional class room with a learning process that encourages participation, creativity, and imagination.
Honors Student Organization
The Honors Student Organization serves as a liaison between students and the Honors Program director. In addition, the HSO will enhance the overall academic experience of Point Park University students through the coordination of events that reflect the interests of the Honors Program students at large.

CANTON Supporters of reinstating junior varsity football scored a touchdown at this weeks Canton Central School District board meeting.
Board of Education members unanimously agreed to create a boys JV team this season after being told the extra cost of fielding a team will be covered by donations from businesses and other supporters.
However, the decision could be overturned if enough players dont turn out when practice starts next week or if the money doesnt come through.
For the past few years, the district has been fielding a modified team for grades seven through nine and a varsity team for grades 10 through 12. A JV team would serve grades nine and 10.
Modified Coach Austin A. Weakfall said enough donations are available to cover the estimated $2,252 cost of transportation and officials for a JV team. No additional coaches would be hired.
We are prepared to fund the program ourselves, if necessary. We can hand you a check on Monday, Mr. Weakfall told board members. We believe we have the numbers to support a third team. Weve been running a camp this week with 70 kids.
The district has merger agreements that allow students from Edwards-Knox, Hermon-DeKalb and Lisbon to play on the Canton football team.
Athletic Director William A. Porter, who coaches the varsity football team, said not having a JV team is a safety issue because it forces some of the younger players to compete on a varsity team.
School board member Keith R. Rosser said hes spoken with several community members who said their child may leave the football program for another sport if a JV team isnt available.
I think were putting kids in harms way if were not putting them in an age-appropriate situation, Mr. Porter said.
Approximately 20 parents attended the meeting. A petition signed by 89 parents and community members encouraged the board to reinstate the JV team.
James Bartlett, father of a seventh-grade football player, said his son does not want to compete against ninth-graders.
Size and power does make a difference at the modified level, Mr. Bartlett said.
The board reached the decision despite concerns raised by Superintendent William A. Gregory, who recommended against adding a JV program because the number of players might prove to be insufficient.
Two years ago, the district was forced to cancel an away varsity game after several players were unable to play.
Injuries coupled with academic ineligibility also can reduce the number of players available.
When that happens, its not fair to anyone else in the conference, Mr. Gregory said. Its my belief that we should retain two teams.
Mr. Porter said he expects to have 20 or more varsity players and about 30 players for JV and 30 for modified. I feel we can sustain three levels, he said.
Mr. Porter said Canton would play other districts that still have JV teams, including Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Malone and Gouverneur.
Board member Shannon D. Mattice said the district should develop a procedure to deal with requests that come in from community groups that want to fund a specific program.
We need to come up with a plan for when outside funding is available, she said.

(NBCNC) - A burst of emotion at the Obama victory party in Chicago - the moment the race was called.
And early this morning, there were celebrations around the country -- from New York, to Los Angeles.
And the White House, where President Obama will spent four more years. "Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you. And you have made me a better president." {FLASH} "We're not as divided as our politics suggest. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America!" said President Barack Obama.
His speech came after a call from Mitt Romney. Who told supporters in Boston he gave it his all, and insisted Washington must come together. "The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work," said Mitt Romney, (R) Former Presidential Candidate.
"The Romney family has chosen to give back to this country through public service, and that's a legacy we honor and applaud tonight," said President Barack Obama.
The President won with slim majorities in key states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, and New Hampshire.
Virginia and Nevada weren't called till early this morning - After he was declared the projected winner.
Still outstanding, Florida, Where at 2 am, people were still in line voting.

August reports about homeschool sports
The Advocate, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 13 August 2006, CHEF tackling football now: Home-school group participating in fledgling league
The practice field is an old baseball field behind a church gymnasium.
As the players arrive by car, often accompanied by their parents, they unload their own coolers and gear.
When an assistant coach hands out mesh practice vests, he reaches into the kind of white plastic bag a grocery store gives its customers, not an elaborate equipment bag.
It doesnt have all the trappings you would expect at a typical high school football practice.
For the CHEF Patriots, its the start they were looking for.
WLTX.com, Columbia, South Carolina, 15 August 2006, Homeschool Fitness
Even though most states require home schooled kids to follow academic standards, many don't have PE requirements. Some homeschooled students go to the local gym, others are allowed to participate in public school athletics. And then some parents go looking for alternatives to keep their kids fit.
Oh, dear. Even when I'm trying to be actively positive about the articles in order to always look on the bright side of life, the sly asides still creep in and poke me in the eye: no P.E. requirements.
So those overweight kids I keep reading about in the newspaper as being at risk for diabetes are all homeschooled? Gee, no wonder we need oversight.
I also wonder what the heck a P.E. "requirement" is. Is it being fit? Is it knowing how to bounce around on a gym mat? Or maybe being proficient at games where balls are hit with some kind of stick? Is it learning the rules of games where balls are thrown around? Is it knowing how to dodge the balls that are thrown around — or are thrown balls an arrestable offense now?
Ah, I should have known that there would be standards 'out there …'
… but it looks as if some of the states don't have as rigorous P.E. requirements as they do academic requirements, either.
Oh, well. Back to the (attempted) neutral reading of that same article.
Breaden says when her twin daughters were younger she could send them outside to play. Now that they're teenagers, they want to be with their friends. Being part of a team allows them to socialize and stay fit at the same time.
Yes, I can understand that. It isn't that the organizing of kids is inherently negative because it isn't. Kids will often do it themselves.
In high school some of my neighborhood friends and I played sandlot baseball (I often struck out), sandlot football (sprained my ankle going for a touchdown), went to the marina to sign out a Sunfish to sail in the bay (I usually managed to tack successfully past sailing straight into the wind), or swam for hours at the beach (jellyfish stings!). It's the "standardisto" mind-set about the undertaking that I find tiring.
My friends and I couldn't be stopped from going, going, going, but forty years later it's all teams, organized competition, and winners and losers. Not that there weren't teams, competition and winners and losers way back when, but the pressure to conform and 'produce' wasn't so almost universally important.
I don't say this to be a maudlin geezer reminiscing about lost youth, but from a concern about disrupting the process of individual motivation, trial and effort. The post on science at the Life Without School blog had a hand in triggering this theme.
All of [the negative adult] responses would have been typical, and I admit crossed my mind at least once. You had to see the faces of these three kids though! They were excited. They had a plan. They had a theory. And they were not fazed by not succeeding. That is what science is all about.
Do the organized sports of today leave better memories than the disorganized sports of 'yesteryear?' Does all the contemporary to-ing and fro-ing, and organizing produce adults who are healthier, stronger and better coordinated? (I'm assuming that's the point)
Still, I'm glad the girls were having fun, regardless of skewed-eye-views of how reporters write articles.
I'm crossing my fingers for the next article and wishing, 'happy little homeschool article; happy little homeschool article; …'

Laptop Bags & Sleeves- Which is best for your Laptop Protection?
Laptop Bags & Sleeves- Which is best for your Laptop Protection?
It is certain you would be devastated if you dropped your laptop. The machines cost hundreds to thousands of dollars and contain so much valuable information ruining the machine is enough to ruin the entire week. Luckily there are products designed to protect your laptop from those accidents.Laptop bags and sleeves are two of those products.
What are Laptop Sleeves & Laptop Bags?
Laptop sleeves are lightweight covers that fit over a laptop to protect it from damage, scratches and dust. The sleeves fit the laptop like a padded glove, though contain no extra pockets or storage space. Laptop sleeves do offer a carrying handle with some models also offering a shoulder strap. Unlike a laptop bag, laptop sleeves add only an additional one-pound of weight to the laptop. Bags can be big and bulky and add as much as 10 to 20 pounds to your load- not exactly what you want to carry around with you all day.
Laptop sleeves are designed to fit specific brands of laptops. It is important that you choose the right size sleeve designed for your laptop as it needs to fit just right to properly protect your computer. Additionally if you choose a sleeve that isn't designed for your computer wires and holes may not fit properly. There are sleeves for all sizes of laptops, including the popular 15, 16, 17, and 18 inch sizes. Sleeves are available in many different material designs and styles such as animal prints, rainbows and celebrities as well as a variety of stylish colors. You'll find pink, blue, yellow, green and blue among the color choices for your sleeve. Sleeves are perfect for students and those who don't want the hassle of carrying around a large bag.
Laptop Bags look like backpacks, message bags and briefcases, depending on the style that you choose. They are also available in various sizes to accommodate all laptop sizes. Unlike the laptop sleeves, laptop bags offer many pockets that can store papers and other important documents as well as those to hold other items like the laptop charger.
Laptop bags are perfect for those who need the extra space for storage and do not mind the extra weight of the bag. These bags have been around for quite some time and are available in tons of awesome styles and designs to suit all tastes. Laptop bags vary in cost but are generally more expensive than laptop sleeves.
Additionally you will find that there are bags to accommodate tiny netbooks as well as those large enough to safely hold larger notebooks and tablets. Choose the size bag you will purchase based on the device that it is being used for.
Buying Laptop Sleeves
Important things to look for when choosing laptop sleeves:
- Size matters- Measure your laptop before purchase to ensure that the right size is purchased.
- Material- Most laptop sleeves are made of neoprene, and this is one of the best. Other materials to consider include canvas, leather and microfiber. The material will affect the weight of the bag as well as its durability, making it extremely important to choose the bag that is best-suited for your lifestyle.
- Design- Choose something that suits your personality.
- Padding- Sleeves come with various amounts of padding, and the amount that you'll need varies according to a number of factors. Will the sleeve be placed in another bag? You'll need less. Will you be carrying it around all day? Get more padding.
- Price- Your sleeve should be affordable, with the average prices of laptop sleeves starting at around $10 to $15.
Qualities of good Laptop Bags
If you are buying a laptop bag, look for qualities that indicate it is a bag worth your money. This includes:
- Construction- Your laptop bag should be sturdy and made of quality materials, else there's not a lot of laptop protection you can count on.
- Weight- A laptop bag weighs more than a laptop sleeve but there are still huge variations in the weight of different laptop bags. Choose one that offers all of the room that you need at the lightest weight for comfort as you tote your laptop around.
- Extras- Choose a laptop bag that makes it easy to get in and out what you need. It should also have little extras like pockets for your cell phone or those for the laptop charger.
How to choose between a Laptop Bag & Laptop Sleeves
So which do you buy? Both provide great protection for your laptop, are affordable and stylish. Whether you choose a laptop bag or a laptop sleeve is a personal decision. Use the tips listed above to help you decide between the two. Laptop sleeves are perfect for those who need minimal storage while laptop bags better accommodate those of us who need space, space and more space. You can also make things a little bit easier and purchase one of both! That way you can mix it up any time that you need and always have the laptop protection that you need.

A long text is not wrapped according to the column width. The width of the column is then fixed by the length of the text!13 Mar 2008
Hi Nguyen,
I have done a test in normal a html with the following code:

 longlongtextwithoutspace	 Testing

As a result, this is an expected behavior which the text is wrapped according to the length of the text.

I've tested in Conf 2.7.3 and it seems the width parameter is ignored (both % and px).11 Sep 2008
Hi Tomi,
I have tried on my local 2.7.3 instance, but the width parameter works as advertised. Please ensure that the {section} and {column} macros are not encapsulated within other macros, which might circumscribe the parameter values. You might also want to try other browsers, too. If that does not help, I would suggest you to raise a support request at http://support.atlassian.com. Thanks.
Azwandi16 Sep 2008
Were you able to figure this out? I'm having the same issue on 2.8.2. Worked fine in 2.2.9.
Thanks23 Oct 2008
Hi Tracy,
It would be appreciated if you can raise a support ticket via https://support.atlassian.com for further investigation. Thanks.
MG31 Oct 2008
Hi Tracy and Azwandi
What I found is that in order for % and px column widths to work you need to have a blank column at the end.
ie. use this
instead of this

Unfortunately, this workaround does not work when you are using the section:border=false value.01 Apr 2009
In fact, it doesn't work at all regardless. 2.9.2 all was well, now all our columns fail in v3.0.0_0121 Jul 2009

I have further tested this without a border for the section macro, but it still works. Here is my wiki markup:

If I have a section and columns is there anyway I can change the color of the background of the columns?24 Sep 2008
Hi there,
The {column} and {section} macros do not have the attributes where you can define the background colour. However, you can use a panel macro inside them to get a coloured box. Hope that helps.
Azwandi25 Sep 2008
If I have a section with columns, and I go between Rich Text and Wiki Markup, a space is automatically introduced between the section and column tags. We're using 2.10.1.
I looked to see if this was in as a ticket, but didn't find it. I assume it must be there, because it's so obvious...

Hello Community,
I'm using v3.0 and the+ macros on a page to display text on the left and the corresponding images on the right (classic 2-column layout).
All this works fine BUT, I need to export to PDF (from the Advanced menu) and when I do so, Confluence PDF engine simply ignores the macros and the 2-column layout. It just displays the text first and then the images, below, not on the right.
Is it:
a/ a bug ?
b/ something I can handle with CSS ?
A million thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I'm trying to have nested columns, that is I have a section (100% width) with a column (70%) and a column (30%). Now I want another two columns beneath the 70% column (35/35%) and the 30% column to span both (the 70% and the two 35% columns).
Does anyone have a clue for the wiki Markup of this layout?
Lukele26 Oct 2009
You could try to put a table in the 70% column, but I don't really like that approach. I am very interested in the response to this question - I have been looking for the answer to that for awhile and I don't think it is doable. I have tried to embed sections within sections and of course that doesn't work....26 Oct 2009
Hi Lukele & Yoni,
The advance table formatting function is not available in Confluence's wiki markup yet. Atlassian has an existing feature request on this:
Please feel free to cast your vote, share your comment over there, and add yourself as a watcher for future update. Please also take note on how we implement new features and improvements.

(Hoping a fix will be released soon)27 Apr 2011
Earlier I believed that tables in columns did not work. Now I see that they do, it's a particular macro that fails.
If you introduce a {table} macro in either column the wiki behaves as if there are no columns at all. The following wiki markup fails:
something goes here
something else goes here
But {table-plus} works (simply substitute {table-plus} for {table}) or one can use the built-in tables by removing the {table} markup entirely.11 May 2011
i just tested your code on my instance and it works fine on conf. 3.5.3.
Check your table macro in use. You might run into trouble by having two table macros active which! I remember something that could go wrong if you have Andy Brooks table Macro installed on top of the content formatting macro while missing to disable one of them.16 May 2011
Thanks for trying this; it's a shame that the v3.5.4 running here on Atlassian's own install of Confluence does not show this to be working. As you can see the tables are not side-by-side, they are one above the other which is incorrect.
I have no idea what macros are installed here so I can't say what I'm using when I use {table} on this wiki.16 May 2011
The {table} macro is provided by the Adaptavist Content Formatting Macros plugin.
If you need to use this macro, then you should raise a ticket with Adaptavist about it.
If you don't need to use the macro, then you can just remove it, and your tables will display side-by-side as expected. I've added an example of this to your test page.17 May 2011
Thanks for your input. I see now that {table-plus} works as well as tables that don't use the macro. I'll correct my earliest post in this thread.17 May 2011
column macro works only in view mode and not on printout!
I do use table macro not from content formatting macros and if you have more than on table macro installed would cause trouble - check this out.
To get your code to work on view and print you need to add a show-if:actions=view, edit|display=printable and the a working table macro installation.
Introducing new PDF stylesheets by atlassian break functionality of column macro and they maybe missed to update their content formatting macros.Now I use
The column and section macro is just used to separate the float macro from other content and to get something like a div.
I dont know why you use table macro without any parameters in addition because it is just needed if you want to apply css.
Check out [float-macro|https://www.adaptavist.com/display/AtlassianConfluence/float+macro]17 May 2011
Thanks JB, Just what I was looking for.
21 Nov 2012

I've written a user macro for our users to write up simple feature requests. The user adds the macro to a page and fills in the name of the new feature and the desired functionality. They also select the feature it is based on, the macro then links to the page for that feature and includes the excerpt from the base feature's own page.
The macro worked fine when its layout was based on tables up until the point where a user needed to add a list in the FEATURESPECIFICS field. That broke the table into 2, and put the list in between the 2 sections.
So I'm attempting to change to {section} & {column} (see below)Expand source
The result I'm getting is decidedly odd. The first 2 sections display as hoped. The row title on the left in a 10% width column and the content in the 90% width column beside it.
However the last 2 section display incorrectly. The title columns appear below the content column. And the content columns have { added to the end of the user entered text.
Is there something wrong with my macro or is this a bug?24 May 2011
Adding {panel} around the 2 text fields has fixed the alignment issue. But I'm still getting a { added to the end of the displayed text in each of those fields. Anyone any ideas where that is coming from?25 May 2011
Yes, you did not close your "panel" reference with a } on the second line from the bottom12 Oct 2011
I'm usijg Confluence 4 and trying to insert an existing Gliffy-in-Confluen ce diagram into a column, to no avail. It inserts the Gliffy, but at the top of the page, above the first 'Section' placeholder. Cutting and copying to the target location in the column placeholder has no effect - i.e. the Gliffy is successfully cut, but pasting doesn't work - nothing happens.
Any suggestions on how to insert the Gliffy into the column? It worked in Confluence 3.5.11 when we could use wikimarkup.
Andrew Drury02 Nov 2011
Using confluence 4.0.5. I am trying to remove content out of a column. But I am not having any luck. I try and cut and paste the content outside of the column section, but then it just pastes the content inside of a column wrapper. If I try and remove the column, it removes all the content along with it.
With wiki markup, this would be easy to solve. How do I do it in the new editor?15 Dec 2011
What I find hard to believe is that the writers have removed the detailed parameter information for macros - or at least have omitted to give examples of the markup. For example, how hard would it have been to go the extra mile and give \{column:width=50%} as an example? That's for those of us who use macros only occasionally and who can't remember when to use a colon and when to use a |, or whether the 50% should be in quotes! Grrrrr. C'mon, you tech writers, you're assuming too much!19 Mar 2012
Hi there
I think I may have answered this comment here: Re: Working with Macros
Cheers, Sarah19 Mar 2012
I am having issues with column width when some of the content extends horizontally beyond the edge of the screen, forcing a horizontal scrollbar. In this case, I have a smaller column to the left with a panel containing overall information about the page. I would like this column to be 300px. In the right column, I have some large images and such that require scrolling to view fully. However, regardless of whether I set the left column to 300px or 30% or even 50%, it gets smushed down to a much smaller size.13 Feb 2014
Rachel Robins [Atlassian Tech Writer]
Hi Patrick, just confirming, you are wanting the column containing the image to preserve the width of the image, and scroll, rather than resize the image to the width of the column?
As far as I am aware Confluence will resize the image so that it fits the column, and users can then click the image to view a full size version.16 Feb 2014
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for the reply. That's not quite right. The larger column with the wide image is working properly... stretching to the width of the image specified. Unfortunately, it is also squishing the smaller column to the left (containing a simple text panel). This column is set to 300px. However, it looks like it's getting squished down to 150px or so.
Now, on a larger monitor... something with enough horizontal pixels to show the entire large image to the right... the smaller (left) column extends the full 300px. But on a smaller monitor (or if, say, the browser window is not maximized, but reduced in size), again, the intended-300px column width is reduced.16 Feb 2014
Someone earlier mentioned that word wrap was not working in the Column macro. So I have run into this problem, and find that there is no word wrap on paragraphs within the Column Macro - what gives?
Is this going to be fixed? Do other people have this and put up with it or is there a work-around?01 May 2014

Something has been bugging me. And it's shaped like Morgan Leflay. She claims that she's been following Guybrush Threepwood's piratey exploits all her life, ever since she was a little child. Though, to be honest Morgan doesn't look incredibly young, compared to Guybrush.
I would guess that Guybrush is, at most, in his early twenties. And he likely started pirating on Melee Island at age sixteen at the earliest (the standard age for a callow youth with a fantastic destiny ahead of him). He's certainly not scarred nor grizzled enough to have been a pirate for that since then. And he's still got his boyish good looks. In the Monkey Island continuity, we can be fairly sure that the events that have taken place so far have spanned over a period of no more than ten years. Likely even less than that.
So the question I have to ask is... Isn't Morgan a little bit well-developed for someone in her early teens?
