Penguins notebook: Olympians appreciate recent rest
Penguins/NHL Videos
Before meeting with the media following the Penguins' 2-0 win against Washington on Tuesday, coach Dan Bylsma walked briskly around Consol Energy Center's lower level, searching for his family.
"Haven't seen much of them lately," he explained.
He isn't alone.
Bylsma, assistant coach Tony Granato, general manager Ray Shero and the seven Penguins who participated in the Winter Olympics at Sochi can relate.
After spending two weeks at the Olympics, those Penguins were home for one game before starting a grueling five-game road trip.
Taking care of their bodies has been important.
"My legs and body feel good," center Sidney Crosby said. "Sleep is more my goal right now. If I get that figured out, everything else will be good."
Forward Jussi Jokinen, who played six games in Sochi, said his body feels better than expected.
And while defenseman Brooks Orpik explained that no one's body feels particularly good this time of year, he said simply being able to sleep in his own bed at night has been refreshing.
"It's just nice to be home," he said. "It was tough being away for so long, then you're barely home before being on the road again. A lot of guys and their families weren't too happy about it."
Banged up
Star wingers James Neal and Chris Kunitz were absent from practice Thursday though coach Dan Bylsma expects both to be available Saturday in Philadelphia.
Bylsma said both players are dealing with bumps and bruises.
Kunitz's "bumps and bruises" were probably attributable to a third-period spill against the Capitals on Tuesday. Kunitz was barging toward the Washington net when defenseman Mike Green yanked him down, sending the Canadian Olympian into the goal post.
His leg made contact with the post and appeared to bend awkwardly, similar to what happened to Tampa Bay star Steven Stamkos earlier this season. Stamkos sustained a broken leg, but X-rays showed Kunitz would be OK.
"He never left the bench," Bylsma said. "I think he missed a shift. The collision he had, you know you're going to be dealing with a contusion or a heavy blow to the leg. His ankle hit first. Then we saw it hit above the knee. He probably wasn't feeling too good yesterday."
Big Red to Youngstown
Former Penguins forward Troy Loney and his wife, Aafke, became co-owners of the Youngstown Phantoms (USHL) on Wednesday. The couple is also expected to run the franchise's day-to-day operations.
Loney won two Stanley Cups as a role player for the Penguins. His son, Ty, previously played for the Phantoms, which gave Loney an introduction to the Youngstown area.
A successful businessman following his hockey career, Loney said he hopes his experience in the hockey world should help him make the Phantoms a hotter commodity. He commented that he has learned much about the hockey business from knowing the likes of Mario Lemieux, The DeBartolo family and Michael Eisner, who owned the Ducks when Loney played in Anaheim during the 1993-94 season.
"We are really excited," Loney said. "We're looking forward to moving this organization forward."
Early start
The Penguins are reminding fans attending Sunday's game against the Flyers that the contest will begin at 12:30 p.m. at Consol Energy Center. Game time was originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. but was moved to the afternoon slot by NBC.

Armia got Rochester on the board quickly, chopping at a rebound and beating Jake Allen short side just 1:31 into the opening period. Armia's forward linemates Porter and Nick Deslauriers earned helpers on the play as the Amerks acted swiftly to end the offensive drought that plagued them in Thursday's shutout loss.
Eight seconds later, the Amerks struck again when Colton Gillies got in on the forecheck to create an opportunity for Nick Crawford, who buried his first of the series to make it a 2-0 game just 1:38 in.
The Wolves would get one back at the 5:00 mark thanks to a Nathan Longpre effort down low, but Armia provided an answer minutes later with a quick release from between the circles for his second of the game. The power play marker was assisted by Porter and Johan Larsson.
Rochester wasn't done sending their early message, as Irwin would get a piece of a Rasmus Ristolainen shot from the left circle at 18:49 to increase the Amerks lead to 4-1 heading into the first intermission. Chad Ruhwedel picked up a secondary helper on the tally, giving him five points in the series' four games.
The second period saw Andrey Makarov step up with several big stops before Armia hit Freddy Roy with a pass just as he escaped the penalty box for a breakaway goal at 13:26. Roy's marker would chase Chicago's Jake Allen from the net after the Goalie of the Year winner allowed five goals on 17 shots.
At 16:10, Wolves centerman Christian Hanson won a faceoff and went to the net to tip a Joe Corvo shot past Makarov to cut the Amerks' lead to 5-2. There was no momentum gained though, as Irwin's crease presence saw him earn credit for a goal that was actually deposited into the net by Chicago defender Taylor Chorney. The unassisted power play tally gave the Amerks a comfortable 6-2 lead at the end of forty minutes.
Larsson put the cherry on the top with the only goal of the third period, getting the puck in the low slot and making a nice move to his backhand to complete the 7-2 victory with 6:27 remaining on the clock. Porter and Armia drew assists on the play, with Armia's four-point night setting a personal single-game high since arriving in North America.
Armia (#1), Porter (#2), and Irwin (#3) were named the game's three stars, while Makarov stopped 27 of 29 shots to earn his second career AHL playoff win. The series will be decided with Game Five Sunday in Chicago.
In the USHL, Cal Petersen made 35 saves as Waterloo was defeated by Sioux City 4-3 in overtime. The Black Hawks, who forced extra time with just four seconds left in regulation, continue to lead the Clark Cup semifinal series by a 2-1 margin with Game Four set for Sunday. The overtime defeat was Petersen's first in six postseason starts.

Pierre & Vacances: Q1 turnover for the year ending 30 September 2013 *Like-for-like accommodation turnover up 1.4%* *Change in property development turnover in line with the planned phasing of property development programmes, *Property reservations higher than in year-earlier period Business Wire PARIS -- January 16, 2013 Regulatory News: Pierre & Vacances (Paris:VAC): Main Events Group Management Françoise Gri joined the Pierre & Vacances – Center Parcs Group as Chief Executive Officer as of 2 January 2013. Françoise Gri has spent the majority of her career at IBM where she became Chairman and CEO for France in 2001, in particular leading the transformation of the IT equipment sales business into an IT services provider and making it a leader in technological integration in France. In 2007, she joined Manpower as Chairman and led the overhaul of the temporary work giant into a group specialised in employment solutions. After successfully completing this mission to transform the company, Françoise Gri was nominated Chairman of ManpowerGroup France and Southern Europe in 2011. Françoise Gri is member of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (Conseil Economique, Social et Environnemental - CESE) and sits on the Ethic Committee and the Employment Commission of the MEDEF. She is also a member of the Board of Directors at Edenred and at Crédit Agricole. Center Parcs project in the Vienne region After obtaining the administrative authorisations, the Group successfully began its programme to sell the 800 cottages at the Center Parcs Vienne to institutional investors (340 cottages reserved representing a total of almost €95m excluding tax) and to individual investors. Work is due to start in Q1 2013 for an opening to the public in Q2 2015. Development project in Morocco On December 10, 2012, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group and the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion Group signed a strategic partnership : in addition to the Resort currently being developed in Marrakech (480 apartments and houses in Tourism Residences and 540 apartments and houses in Property Residences), the two groups have decided to extend the scope of their partnership to the resorts of Taghazout and Saïdia. The Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion Group is to ensure the financing of these operations (with the aim of opening the capital of investment companies to national and international partners) and is to pilot the construction project management for these developments. The Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group is to ensure the management mandate for the tourism residences and is to participate for 25% in property development of Marrakech by undertaking property sales in Morocco and Europe. * On a like-for-like basis, turnover has been adjusted for the impact of the shift in the French school holidays and for Center Parcs Europe, the harmonisation of internal commission fees on turnover at the Dutch, German and Belgian Center Parcs (increase in accommodation turnover and corresponding decrease in "supplementary income". Turnover 2011/2012 Like-for-like 2011/2012 Euro millions 2012/2013 like-for-like change reported Tourism 198.2 196.1 +1.0% 199.0 - Pierre & Vacances 86.1 81.7 +5.2% 83.7 Tourisme Europe - Center Parcs Europe 112.1 114.5 -2.0% 115.2 o/w accommodation 133.9 132.0 +1.4% 131.4 turnover - Pierre & Vacances 59.7 56.6 +5.5% 58.7 Tourisme Europe - Center Parcs Europe 74.2 75.4 -1.7% 72.7 Property development 42.2 165.8 -74.5% 165.8 Reservation turnover 188.0 127.3 +47.7% 127.3 incl.VAT Total Q1 240.4 361.9 -33.6% 364.8 *Tourism turnover: Q1 2012/2013 tourism turnover totalled €198.2 million. Accommodation turnover totalled €133.9 million, up 1.4% like-for-like relative to Q1 2011/2012. *Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe contributed €59.7 million to accommodation turnover, showing a 5.5% increase driven by healthy performances in the mountain resorts and city residences (58% of accommodation turnover in the Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe division in Q1 2012/2013). Direct sales generated by online sites rose by 10% to account for 16.4% of accommodation turnover vs. 15.3% in Q1 2011/2012. *Center Parcs Europe contributed €74.2 million to accommodation turnover, slightly down 1.7%, with the satisfactory turnover generated by Dutch and Belgian clients partly making up for a decline in turnover from the French villages. Direct sales generated by online sites increased, accounting for 54% of accommodation turnover vs. 52% in the year-earlier period. *Property development turnover The decline in Q1 turnover was due to the phasing of property programmes. Q1 2011/2012 turnover stemmed primarily from the renovation operation at Center Parcs des Hauts de Bruyères (€54.8 million), the Avoriaz extension (€40.3 million) and that of the Domaine des Trois Forêts (€22.6 million), as well as the contribution from Les Senioriales (€20.4 million). Q1 2012/2013 property development turnover totalled €42.2 million, driven primarily by the Avoriaz extension (€11.7 million) as well as the contribution from Les Seniorales (€12.8 million). Property reservations made in Q1 represented turnover of €188 million, up 48% relative to the €127 million reported in the year-earlier period and benefiting especially from the reservation contracts signed with institutional investors concerning the sale of cottages at the Center Parcs in the Vienne region. *Outlook In view of Q1 2012/2013 turnover and reservations to date, we are currently forecasting slightly higher tourism turnover in H1 2012/2013 compared with the year-earlier period.

The truth is out there, señor…
Peru's official UFO investigation department is now back in business, and its government is soliciting information from the public after an increase of sightings.
The Peruvian Office of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena Research (OIFAA) — which was shut down for the last five years — will seek the expertise of air force personnel, sociologists, archaeologists and astronomers to analyze as much information as possible about UFOs, OpenMinds.tv reports.
For those "who observe seemingly unconventional phenomena, which cause surprise or concern, know that there is an institution that will study and research your information," said Peru air force Col. Julio Jose Vucetich Abanto, who is in charge of the Directorate of Aerospace Interests.

WorldChanging hasn't up until now done an entry focusing on electronic voting, but regular readers should be able to guess our position: good idea (since it makes voting more accessible to the disabled and non-English speakers) but it needs to be made more trustable. American experiences with electronic voting, by and large, haven't been all that encouraging, including obvious miscounts with no way of recounting, proprietary software found to have serious security flaws [PDF], and more. But there are solutions.
Verifiable voting is key: the e-voting machine produces a paper print-out to allow the voter to check that the machine recorded his or her vote correctly, then stores those paper ballots for later spot checks (and, if necessary, hand recounts).
The buggy proprietary code problem also has a straightforward (if radical) solution: use open source/Free software. It's far less likely that security flaws will slip through (let alone intentional backdoors) if the code is open for everyone to examine. Problem is, the big e-voting companies have no desire to open up their proprietary software.
Fortunately, a solution is at hand. Wired News has an article today about the Open Vote Foundation, a nonprofit started by a 19-year-old political science and math student at UC Davis, Scott Ritchie. This group (which, at this point, may just be Ritchie, but will likely grow quickly) intends to offer open source voting software to the state of California and, later, to other regions. The software they'll use is a modification of eVACS, the Electronic Voting and Counting System created (and GPL'd) by an Australian firm, Software Improvements. And the code isn't untested betaware -- it was used in Australia in 2001, and an updated version will be used again this year.
The use of an open source/Free voting system would be a big step in awakening people to the possibilities inherent in distributed/collaborative security, where we all look out for each other in the ways we know best.
Non-english speakers: offer voting papers in *other languages*.
Disabled people: there are *not all that many* disabled people compared to able-bodied people, so there's little reason to turn the system on its head for them. How about a machine that prints out a voting paper?
I suspect that the appeal of voting machines is simply cost. But if your democracy is important, it's worth spending a bit to get it right -- which means a nice, simple, open, checkable, reliable system. It's hard to beat pen and paper and having every single voted looked at by a real live person.
bob cringely has written some of the smartest stuff on this subject in two recent columns.
danah boyd has a simple stop-gap for US voters: vote absentee
Well, it allows for more civic participation. I mentioned what we spoke of at the eGov4All conference here:
FOSS systems in place would allow anyone interested - ANYONE - to inspect the code. And that would lead to more trust in the system, though in the short term - because of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) may not be seen.
Thank you for your support, we find it most helpful.
And, while we are still very new, I can assure you that the foundation is just more than myself - the website and server maintenence is being done by other members, for example.
At any rate, wherever I bring this project up I seem to be flooded with inquiries and people asking how they can help. Once our communication software is in place, the foundation will almost certainly grow to the scope that it needs to in order to make a truly open voting system.
Scott Ritchie
Director, Open Vote Foundation

Hi, just bought a 1990 XR3i EFi that runs rough as hell.
Narrowed this down to the fact the MAP sensor is unplugged, but when I plug it in the engine dies.
Anyone got a spare one, or the part number for the correct one?
Thanks in advance,

We don't know any of our neighbors.

Onward Search: Research Yourself Into a New UX Job
One of the most important things about any job search is knowing the companies that you are applying to. Jessica Greco has crafted a great post about researching your way into a new UX Job. Some very good points:
Research comparable jobs. If you're the type to take on more responsibilities as they become necessary, you may be working at a higher level than your title indicates. Apply those research skills to publicly available job descriptions and salary surveys. How does your experience compare? You may be surprised to find out you're being underpaid. Check out the data on DesignSalaries.org for information to sink your teeth into.
Prioritize your needs and wants. Is money most crucial, or do you have some wiggle room? Is it more important to be part of a team, or to work on more diverse projects? Do you want to work more closely with developers? Are you focused on making new connections, so you can eventually go freelance? Do you want to be part of a growing team that can provide you with a future management position?
Be honest with yourself. What's essential, and what's just nice to have? What do you really want out of your future? Any indecision on your part will effect lackluster results. Try to articulate what you really want before you begin your job hunt.

Friends of the two victims in a shooting have started a makeshift memorial at the bottom of the stairs of an apartment on Chestnut Street in Berea.
Terra Cash and Rae Hartley brought flowers to the crime scene. They can't believe their friend, 25-year-old Zachary Flower, was murdered in his home and his roommate, who they identify as Kevin Price, hospitalized after he was shot in the abdomen. A friend to them all, 27-year-old Matthew Denholm, was the sole suspect. He was caught by Jeffersontown Police Officers following a statewide manhunt.
"Just really surprising because no one expects this in Berea," explained Terra Cash, who knew all three involved casually.
Her friend, Rae Hartley chimed in, "Finding out Flower was dead and Price is in the hospital? Ridiculous."
Police say they three got into an argument late last night and say Denholm had been using racial slurs at a nearby restaurant. After the fight, police believe the former Berea safety officer came back to the apartment nestled above Berea College offices and made his point heard.
"He's safety officer! I can't believe he snapped like that," Terra Cash exclaimed.
"I just can't wrap my head around it. Flower was an amazing person," Rae Hartley said.
Berea College Officials say Denholm was employed as a safety officer from February 2010 until March 2011. None involved in the shooting were Berea College Students.

Pacific Power outage update
This is a press release courtesy of Pacific Power
Currently, Pacific Power has approximately 6,600 customers without power throughout Oregon.
This is the highest number of customer outages for the Pacific Power service area since the storm began on Saturday, 12/20, and the outages are concentrated in the north central Willamette Valley where heavy ice and blocked roads have made access as well as system repair extremely difficult.
Pacific Power is advising customers and communities to expect and prepare for repeated or multiple outages in the same locations that are currently affected, as well as extended outage inconvenience – all due to the cumulative effects of the weather: Ice on top of snow, with more snow predicted on top of the ice has caused significant destruction of power lines, power poles and the trees that to and from customer locations.
Until the weather actually warms up and stays that way, it is expected that many of these remaining customers and others will be without power. Pacific power is strongly urging customers and communities around Stayton, Dallas, Independence, Fall City and Albany to make preparations to take of themselves, their families and their neighbors for several days, and through Tuesday, at a minimum.
The company has had crews working continuously over the last 26 hours to restore outages in various locations. The current, longest duration outage is in the Dallas, OR community in and around the Reuben-Coise Road area. That particular outage is affecting 134 customers who have been out for approximately 22 hours.
Other outage spots in the Glide area, near Roseburg, Hood River and a brief outage in the Portland area Saturday morning have been resolved relatively quickly for our customers. Hood River and Clatsop Counties were experiencing small outages this evening. However, the Dallas, Independence, Aumsville and Stayton communities have been particularly affected. Prompt restoration has been hampered by the ice, snow and wind, but also treacherous road conditions that have reduced or prevented access for crews and other responders.
Pacific Power crews and contract crews that were previously staged anticipating and preparing for the storm were deployed last night and throughout the day to problem areas in need of restoration. Additional crews of all types and skills are being brought into the Willamette Valley area from Bend, Coos Bay, Medford, Roseburg and Klamath Falls to continue the restoration effort. The restoration work will continue through the night. Additional crews have also been sent to Portland in anticipation of worsening conditions that area.
Currently, there are 18 full crews and numerous individual specialists focused on the affected Willamette Valley customers
Pacific Power is anticipating additional outages due to current and increased freezing weather conditions. Added to the sporadic and dispersed nature of the outages, remote location of many customers plus worsening road conditions, this all will likely mean that some customers may not have their power fully restored until at least Tuesday. Again, Pacific power urges its customers to take whatever measures they can do safely in anticipation of this lengthy power outage, and help us keep their safety and well-being the top priority.
The worsening and fluctuating weather means that customers who have been spared power outages up to now still should prepare and have an emergency kit that includes the following:
- Flashlight
- Battery-operated radio and clock
- Extra batteries
- Non-perishable foods
- Manual can opener
- Bottled water
- Blankets
If a power outage occurs at your home, Pacific Power encourages customers to first check fuses and circuit breakers. If the power failure is not caused inside the home or business, the customer should report the outage to Pacific Power at 1-877-LITES OUT (1-877-548-3768).
To ease the inconvenience of power outages and assist crews in restoring power, Pacific Power suggests the following tips and safety precautions:
- Stay away from all downed power lines and utility lines. Even if the lines are not sparking, they could be energized and extremely dangerous.
- Call and report the outage to Pacific Power at 1-877-LITES OUT (1-877-548-3768).
- Candles should never be left unattended or used for extended periods. Use a flashlight or other battery-powered lighting source.
- Use a fireplace or wood stove to keep warm. Pay careful attention to fire hazards.
- Never use kerosene or propane heaters inside without proper ventilation. They create dangerous fumes. Also, don't use charcoal in your house or garage.
- Never use a barbecue grill indoors. Cook over sterno cans.
- Don't drive over downed power lines.
- Turn on your porch light switch. After crews complete repairs, they patrol the area of the power failure to see if lights are on.
- As much as possible, do not open refrigerators and freezers—they will keep food and perishables inside cold for some time if not opened.
- Preserve body heat by wearing multiple layers of clothing. Add a hat and blanket to stay warm. Blankets and towels around windows and doors help keep the heat in.
- Check on your neighbors, especially those who may need special assistance. Also, check with others who have electricity, to see if you can visit.
- Protect your pipes during freezing weather by wrapping them with insulation. Also, leave faucets dripping so water won't freeze and crack the pipes.
- Generators should be located outside and far enough away from any occupied space that fumes are not drawn into a dwelling. In positioning a generator, also be mindful of prevailing winds.
- Make sure generators are properly wired for your home or business, and don't connect a generator directly to your home's main fuse box or circuit panel. This can create a dangerous backfeed hazard for lines crews.
When it is safe to check, and as power is being restored in your neighborhood, customers should safely – and only VISUALLY -- check for damage to their meter-base connection on the side of their homes. If there appears to be damage to the meter base, you will need to make arrangements to have a residential or commercial electrician repair the damage so Pacific Power will be able to effectively restore power to your home.
Pacific Power thanks its customers for being patient during these storms, the resulting outages, and the time it takes for our crews to restore their power safely and efficiently.

Nov 26, 2010 Hello from The Empire State! I hope everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving. The Admirals celebrated the holiday in Glens Falls, New York, where they play the Adirondack Phantoms here tonight at the Civic Center. The guys are focused on ridding themselves of the memory of the last minute collapse at home on Wednesday against Charlotte.
The Admirals left shortly after the Wednesday home game, making a ten-hour drive to upstate New York. It was a pretty somber mood after the loss. The team went straight to the rink, arriving about 10:30 a.m. They set up the locker room and were on the ice for practice before noon. Head Coach Jon Cooper put the boys through the paces for well over an hour. The guys then went back to the hotel for a team Thanksgiving dinner.
Its cold here at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, but no sign of snow. Strangely, this will be the second and last trip the Admirals make into Glens Falls this season. The town and rink are quite different from most we see in the AHL. The city itself only has a population of about 15,000 people. It has a very quaint, small town feel to it.
The arena is extremely small, with only about a dozen parking spots out in front. There is only a small entrance lobby and no concourse. In fact, there are just four concession stands in the whole building, with one in the four corners of the rink at the top of each seating section.
Ive sent along some shots of the Civic Center as well as a photo from inside the arena. If you look at the picture that shows the interior of the rink, you can see my broadcast perch on the left side of the shot hanging over the last few rows of seats right behind a blue sign.
Well, the bus heads for Springfield right after the game, then its off to Bridgeport for a Sunday 3:00 p.m. game. The Admirals will stay on the road and practice before continuing the trip with games next weekend in Manchester, Portland and Springfield before coming home.
On a final note, D Vladimir Mihalik is with the team on this trip, although were not sure when hell play. Vlady has skated on his own, but has yet to return to practice.
Thats the word from Glens Falls. Enjoy your turkey sandwiches and Ill talk to you on the radio or through the internet. Until next time
Nov. 22 - After a single home game
a nice win Saturday night at Scope
the Admirals are back on the road again! Hello from Charlotte, where the Admirals square off with the Checkers tonight at 7:00.
The team traveled down to the Queen City yesterday. Ive often been asked why the Admirals dont wait to travel until the day of a game when they play at a place like Hershey or Philadelphia (when they were in the league) or Charlotte. "Just leave at 8:00 a.m., stop an hour for lunch and youll still be there by 4:00 p.m. for a 7 oclock game," someone has said to me before. Aside from not getting in a morning skate on game day if you do that, yesterday was a perfect example of why the Admirals try to travel the day before.
After leaving just after 11:00 a.m. yesterday, things were going according to plan when we blew a tire on our trailer about 30 miles from Charlotte. Take a look at the picture to see that the tire just basically blew apart. There was almost nothing left on the rim! We got to a truck stop to figure out our next move. The guys took advantage of the delay and the nice weather to play a little soccer game in the parking lot. You can see our bus behind the guys in the picture. In case youre confused by the picture, the game the guys play is the same one they often play to warm up before games. Players stand in a circle and try to keep the soccer ball in the air using any part of their bodies other than their hands and arms. The last person to touch the ball before it hits the ground is out, but no one can intentionally let a ball drop to put another guy out. The last person left is the winner.
Anyway, after determining that a replacement tire could not be found any time soon, it was determined that we would take all the equipment from the trailer and put it on the bus. It was a tight fit, and some things that wouldnt fit under the bus would have to go inside with the guys, but we made it work. You can see the players and staff handling the loading duties in the picture.
So, after a delay of maybe 45-minutes, it looked like we were set to get back on the road
but not so fast! We had to detach the trailer from bus. The driver (or someone from the bus company) would come back later to make repairs and reclaim the trailer. Pierre-Cedric Labrie, probably the strongest guy on the team, was called upon to handle the winch to unhook the trailer from the bus
and the thing breaks! It took over an hour to finally get the thing off! So, we finally got on the road after about a two-hour delay and got to Charlotte about 6:30 p.m.
Its all pretty normal for life on the road in the minor leagues, but it can be a bit exasperating at times. Thankfully, all is well and we're ready for hockey tonight. Well, that's it for this report. Im off to the rink for today's practice. Ill talk to you tonight on the radio or in cyberspace. Tune in to 102.1-FM, 1490-AM, 1021TheGame.com or ahllive.com. Later
Nov 19 Sorry I havent checked in for a few days. It always seems like theres more to write about when were on the road. I spend more time around the players when were traveling, so it makes sense, I suppose.
The team had a very LONG day yesterday, finally getting into Wilkes-Barre about 9:30pm last night. Its about a seven-hour ride here when the team travels at night, but it takes a lot longer in afternoon traffic.
Anyway, the Admirals face the top team in the division, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, here tonight at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The Penguins began the season 9-0, and stand 12-2 right now. The Baby Pens feature last years Norfolk Captain, Ryan Craig.
The Admirals are wrapping up a five-game road trip tonight with some definite challenges in their way. D Mathieu Roy has once again joined F Johan Harju on recall to Tampa Bay. F James Wright was called up to join the Lightning for their wild, 8-7 victory in Philadelphia last night, but has been reassigned to Norfolk and should be here to help the cause tonight. The Admirals will, however, be without D Vladimir Mihalik, who did make the trip. Ill have more on Vladys injury status during the broadcast tonight. Coupling Mihaliks absence with that of Scott Jackson and the NHL recall of Roy, the Admirals have now essentially lost half of their standard defensive corps. In fact, Head Coach Jon Cooper, who has used 7 defensemen in every game this season, has just 6 available blueliners for tonights match-up.
Well, Im off for now to prep for tonights contest. I hope youll be listening tonight and remember to come out tomorrow for the game between the Admirals and Adirondack at Scope at 7:15pm. Redskins great Chris Hanburger will be there, and its Marine Corps night with discounted tickets. And lastly, give yourself some extra time getting to the game tomorrow because of the Grand Illumination Parade and a couple of sold out shows at Chrysler Hall. Until next time
Nov. 12 - Hi again. Were in Glens Falls, New York today, where the Admirals play the Adirondack Phantoms tonight at 7:30 p.m. The Admirals are coming off a nice 6-3 win in Albany on Wednesday. Tonight they meet a Phantoms team that has really struggled, so its one the boys dont want to let slip away. According to reports, Norfolk may be without a player or two when they play tonight. Tampa Bay may make a recall before the day is out. Ill let you know during the pregame if anything happens.
The Admirals stayed in Albany after the Wednesday game and practiced there at the Times Union Center yesterday afternoon. We hopped on the bus and made the hour ride due north to Glens Falls, getting here about 4:00 p.m. yesterday. Several of the guys had a chance to meet up with former Admiral Matt Lashoff, who was here with his new team, the Toronto Marlies, to play against Adirondack last night. The Marlies won the game and Matt was named the #1 star.
Today, I thought I would give you a little insight into the Admirals practice routine. If you ever come to a team practice, youll notice guys wearing an assortment of different colored jerseys. These jerseys tell us who is playing together on the forward lines. One group of three forwards wears yellow. One wears red. Another is in white. One is in grey and another don blue. Practice jerseys do not have numbers, so the color is the thing to look for. The defensemen and the goalies all wear black jerseys.
You can take a look at the photos I took at yesterdays practice (at right) and Wednesday's practice (in my last blog entry) to see what I mean. Each day, the head coach will instruct the equipment manager of what players he wants to skate together for practice. The equipment guy will then take the jerseys and hang them in the locker room stalls of the appropriate players. For many players
like Paul Szczechura, Matt Fornataro and James Wright, who have been together every game this year
they see the same color jersey in their stall each practice, but you never know!
Thats it for now. Weve got a busy weekend ahead, with 3 games in 3 days in 3 cities in 3 different states, so its going to be an exhausting few days. So, I dont know if Ill be able to check in over the weekend. If not, Ill have more for you next week. Take care
Nov. 9 Hello on a pretty cold (43 degrees), wet, dreary, dark..dare I say
typical?...November day in Albany, New York, where the Admirals play the Devils tomorrow night. Despite the weather, the downtown area is scenic, especially if you like architecture. There are some magnificent looking old buildings around here, and some great, old churches. In fact, one of them, St. Peters Church, dates to the 1850s. Its right in front of you when you walk out of the downtown hotel the team is at. Check out the picture at right. The team hotel is in the background behind the church. Just about a hundred yards away on the other side of the street is the former homesite of President Martin Van Buren. Van Buren was kind of the Vladimir Mihalik of Presidents
never fully appreciated for the job he did!
Anyway, the Admirals arrived at 9am today after a 9-hour bus ride through the night. With Blair Jones and Mathieu Roy returning from Tampa Bay and Mitch Fritz traveling (Scott Jackson was the only player not to go on this trip), it was very crowded bus! The boys got to the rink here about 11:30am and were on the ice at 1pm for practice. Ive sent along a shot from todays practice as the boys were listening to the coaches map out practice drills (at left). Fritzy, by the way, looked fine in practice, but with several extra players, it will be tough to get into the lineup. It would be nice to have him out there tomorrow with Louis Robitaille possibly in the Albany lineup. The Admirals will have to scratch 4 players tomorrow.
For a few moments, I thought I might be a scratch! I took my first puck to the face in practice today while standing on the bench. Thankfully, it was just a routine lob through the neutral zone that came into the bench area and caught me on the chin. I got a small welt and a bit of soreness, but it was very minor. Thankfully, I wont need to accept the offer of our trainer, Brad Chavis, to handle the broadcast from the bench tomorrow!
On a final note, I caught up with Rick Kowalsky and Mike McKenna at the rink today. Rick, an Admiral Hall of Famer, is now the Albany Head Coach. Mike, a former Norfolk netminder, is now tending goal for the Devils. I hope to have an interview with one of them on the broadcast for a few minutes tomorrow night.
Well,..thats it for today. More good stuff coming up later on the trip
Nov. 8 Im writing to you from Norfolk today, where the Admirals are getting ready for a very late departure tonight for another tough road trip. The guys play in Albany, Adirondack, Bridgeport and Worcester on the upcoming trip. They are coming off an exciting shootout win Friday night in Charlotte and a tough loss to the same Checkers team at Scope one night later. The Admirals and Checkers play one another 12 times this year
more than they play any other team, so each will have a lot to say about the others success, or lack thereof, this season.
I wrote last week in my blog about the nice arena in Charlotte. I thought Id let you see for yourself. Heres a picture I took from outside the arena walking back to the hotel after the morning skate Friday (top-right). As well, you can take a look at the front concourse of the Time Warner Cable Arena (bottom-left). Its pretty nice, with video screens and displays to see, although much of arena is tailored toward the fans of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats. Nonetheless, its pretty nice. On the flip side, its hard to believe such a nice building would have one of the smallest locker rooms for the visiting players. Maybe Ill get a picture and show you that next time were there.
Also, Charlotte may have the longest walk from the dressing room to the ice for the players Ive ever encountered. I walked it off. Its 125 steps, which makes it easily a hundred yards from the front door of the locker room to the ice. In fact, its so far that our Assistant Equipment Manager, Steve Kimmeth, couldnt watch the game because of the time it would take to get to and from the locker room should something be needed during the game. Instead, Steve stayed in the locker room with a walkie-talkie in hand so our head equipment guy, J.W. Aiken, could call him if something were needed on the bench during play. That was a shame, because Steve usually just works the home games.
Well, thats it for now. I have several topics for future blog entries already lined up from suggestions the readers have emailed. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any ideas. Ill report from the road in the next few days. Until then
Nov. 5 - Hello from Charlotte, where the Admirals tangle for the first of 12 regular season matchups with the Charlotte Checkers tonight here at Time Warner Cable Arena, which is also the home of the NBAs Charlotte Bobcats. The Admirals made the ride to Charlotte yesterday afternoon, arriving about 7pm.
Yesterday was a busy day, with a practice at Scope and then a team workout before boarding the bus about 1:00 p.m. We drove until about 4:30 p.m. before stopping for a light snack. Quiznos seemed to be a fairly popular choice for the guys, at least until we got to Charlotte and they could go out for a full-fledged dinner.
Charlotte is quite a bit different then the old ECHL days when I used to come here to watch the Hampton Roads Admirals play the Checkers at Independence Arena, about ten minutes from downtown. That barn, which John Brophy used to play in back in the late 50s, was ancient then. Now, the AHL Checkers play in one of the best facilities in the league, and its right in the middle of downtown, surrounded by restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, a theatre, bowling alley and more.
Everything about this part of Charlotte is first class. The hotel, just a few blocks from the arena, is VERY upscale, maybe the nicest we stay in all year. There is a fancy restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel where you pay $8 just for a baked potato to go with your $30-40 steak! I was happy to walk by, but opted not to go in!
Anyway, everyone who is here seems to like the area, although I cant speak for Scott Jackson or Mitch Fritz. Both are still hobbled by injuries and did not make the trip for tonights game. Fritz joined us on the radio broadcast last weekend at Scope. I know its been frustrating for Fritzy, who has yet to play this season. I hope we see him in the lineup soon.
Well, thats it for now. I hope youll be listening tonight, and dont forget to come out to Scope as the same two teams match up tomorrow at 7:15pm. Until next time
October 22 - There is something TERRIBLY wrong here! I know the Admirals are here in Syracuse. No large city in the USA gets more snow than Syracuse. But the weatherman is calling for possible snow flurries here today. It's October still! Give me a break! Yesterday, we didn't see snow, but plenty of cold rain, with temperatures in the 40s most of the day. And I accidentally left my nice, hooded ODU sweatshirt at the hotel in Hartford the other day! Well, at least it's starting to feel like hockey weather.
Tonight, the Admirals take to the ice here in 'Salt City' as they face off with a division foe
the Syracuse Crunch. We don't know much about the Crunch since they changed affiliations. The Columbus Blue Jackets are out. They now have their prospects in Springfield. The Anaheim Ducks are in. Jon 'Nasty' Mirasty, who is loved here like Mitch Fritz is in Norfolk (and for the same reasons) is the only returner to the Crunch from a year ago. Mirasty has only played in one game so far, for Syracuse, so we'll see if he takes the ice tonight.
The Admirals are off to amazing 4-0 start, the best in their AHL history, and ready to begin a tough run of three games in three days. Head Coach Jon Cooper gave the guys yesterday off, but that didn't do anything to quiet the competitive juices. The team went to an area bowling ally in the afternoon for some fun spirited competition. Kevin Quick displayed some serious bowling chops with a high game of 210! Paul Szczechura was close behind. His 190 was the second highest of the day. I'm not sure who had the low game of the day, but there were a few games rolled by guys you'd never guess were pro athletes! The guys also played in teams of four, with Mathieu Roy's foursome winning the team competition.
Last night, I went to dinner with the Head Coach Jon Cooper and the training staff at Dinosaur Barbeque, a local landmark here in Syracuse. Only three of these exist (I've also been to one in Rochester), from what I'm told, and they're always packed. Equipment Manager J.W. Aiken (better known as 'Dubsy') had been talking about visiting 'The Dinosaur' ever since we got the Admirals schedule and discovered we'd have an off day here. Dinosaur Barbeque is a unique setting
very old and rustic looking. The walls are all unfinished wood covered with handwritten graffiti, messages and autographs. Nothing fancy about this place. The portions are usually huge. 'Dubsy' was the only one of us able to finish his entire meal. Our trainer, Brad Chavis (known as 'Chavy'), took on a real challenge, ordering the FULL rack of ribs. 'Chavy' was, sadly, beaten into submission by his pork challenger. He didn't even get halfway through. In his defense, however, he did go through half a plate of wings before his dinner was even served! All in all, it was not a bad night, however.
Well, that's the latest from the 'Cuse. I hope you'll be listening tonight, tomorrow from Albany and Sunday afternoon at 3pm in Worcester. Later
October 20, 2010 ... I just got back from watching a bit of the morning skate and setting up my radio gear in the press box here in Hartford. The Wolf Pack play in the old Hartford Whalers' building. Its one of the biggest in the AHL, and the broadcast position actually on TOP of the press box is one of the highest Ive ever worked from. That makes seeing names on the jerseys almost impossible and even seeing some of the numbers can be difficult.
There are some great things about Hartford, though, such as some nice places to eat. Last night, I had dinner with trainer Brad Chavis, equipment manager J.W. Aiken and Head Coach Jon Cooper at Feng, a very fancy, upscale Asian Bistro. I wasnt going to go because its basically a sushi place, and sushi and I do not get along. But, they had some REAL food...as I like to call it, so I went along. I went with the honey roasted, Asian-seasoned chicken, which was good.
In all honesty, those kind of places arent really my style, though. I felt much more at home today when I went for lunch at Woodys, an excellent hot dog place just two blocks from the team hotel downtown. I first saw Woodys featured on Travel Channels Man vs. Food, which became one of my favorite summer shows. So, I made a note to myself to pay it a visit when I got here. Woodys is a very small lunch place
nothing fancy about it
but the dogs are really good. I had the Southern Slaw Dog, but Woodys offers a long list of hot dogs with kraut, peppers, bar-b-que, chili, slaw and a host of other unique toppings. Woodys has an attached bar called The Fish Tank that is totally decked out in Miami Dolphins memorabilia, photos and decorations. You dont find a whole lot of Dolphins fans in Hartford.
Well, its about time to get ready for the game tonight. Hartford is 3-1, so this should be a tough one. Im expecting Cedric Desjardins in goal. Mitch Fritz still seems doubtful with a lingering injury. Ill try to check in again from Syracuse in the next day or two. Until then
October 19, 2010 ... Hello from Hartford, where the Admirals arrived about 9:30 a.m. today after a long ride through the night from Norfolk.
What a great start it's been, with the Admirals off to just the second 3-0 start in their 11-year AHL history. I'm not sure what's been the biggest shock
starting 3-0, averaging six goals a game, or ranking in the top three in the league in both power play and penalty killing percentage? I don't want to get too excited. It's just three games and we can't really tell how good or bad Binghamton and Worcester are yet, but it's a promising beginning. The club seems to have a much more balanced offense than last year and proven goaltending.
Well, we hopped on the bus at midnight last night for the trek north. The players and staff were treated to brand new pillows and blankets when they got on the bus last night, courtesy of the Admirals Booster Club. The boosters do such a nice job in supporting the team each year. Their efforts are certainly appreciated.
Of course, sometimes one needs to go the EXTRA mile, which is exactly what our trainer, Brad Chavis, has done. 'Chavy' showed up with an ELECTRIC blanket on the bus last night. That's the first time I've seen that. Normally, our bus is very cold. Last night, however, the front compartment, where the coaches and staff are, was unusually warm. The players in the back, however, told me it was freezing back there.
Even with F Alex Hutchings and G Jaroslav Janus heading for the ECHL, it was still a packed bus last night with F Chris Durno, F Stefano Giliati and F Alex Berry making this trip. Luckily, there were just enough bunks to go around. Well, it's almost 11:00 a.m. as I write this, so I'm heading to the rink shortly for a 12:30 p.m. practice. It's going to be an exhausting week, with four games in five days in four different cities. The guys play in Syracuse, Albany and Worcester on this trip, as well. I'll be in touch last from the road. Until next time

All Saints suits
By Jamie Millar 13 April 12
You'd expect to go to All Saints for workwear but not for workwear - not unless you're a rock star or a particularly trendy carpenter. But the Spitalfields brand is now exploring pastures new in the shape of suiting that won't look out of place in the office. The range doesn't just look more sophisticated than All Saints' previous forays into tailoring either, with fully and half-canvassed jackets (in actual horsehair), real horn buttons and working cuffs. Pair with the SFW shirts, ties and shoes and you might even look as good on the job as Tony Ward (pictured).
Suits from £275. Shirts, £85. Ties, £20. Shoes, £145. allsaints.com

How To Sew In A Lining
This Videojug film is designed to show you some tips and tricks on how to get the best out of clothing repairs and alterations. By trying these methods on sewing a lining, you will give your clothes a neat finish.
I will be showing you how to sew in a lining. This is a jacket where the lining has come free at the bottom edge and I am just going to put some pins to hold this in position. I am setting my pins quite a long way from the edge because I need to create a little bit of space to do my stitching so that you can't see it along that edge there.
And then, I will be sewing this in white, just say you can see my stitching, but I would normally sew this in a matching colour. I want to stitch and kind of take the edge and fold it away so that I am stitching underneath, not all the way through my lining, so that I get a nice flap and that's a really nice flap finish. So, I am just going to start by going into the body of the jacket and doing a couple of back stitches just to secure my start and then with my thumb, I am just rolling the outer way and I am taking a little bit of the jacket and sliding along a little bit of the lining and it's called the slip stitch, a little bit of the jacket but not all the way through to the front and then sliding along in the lining.
So, I will just be readjusting my finger position to get a little role in the lining as I got a low. So, when you come to the end, just do backstitch into the body of the jacket finish. Snip that off and remove all the pins and then we would lightly press the edge, give a nice finish, but what happens is the jacket can slide back and forth along of your body's movement and your stitches are all invisible inside that fold.
And that's how to sew a lining. .

Hi Thomas
Is your question one of aesthetics; it looks better if the pipes are all at
the same height. If so then you need only to make 3.5" or 4" packers from
channel or angle and fasten the pipe as you originally planned. If the 3.5"
shoes on the steel pipe are for insulation standoff, then the pipes will
look OK without packers as the bottom of the PVC pipe will be about the same
level as the insulation cladding.
For long runs of plastic pipe I normally place it on heavy duty gal steel cable ladder. It can span 20' but provides almost continuous support to the plastic.

El Paso had all the usual reasons to be excited about hosting the Conference USA Basketball Championships next spring.
Now, there is another one: It should be the biggest ever.
An unprecedented 16 teams will be in the league next year, which is the first of the newly expanded membership and the last with departing Tulsa, Tulane and East Carolina.
At C-USA's annual spring meetings in Destin, Fla., conference athletic directors recommended all 16 be invited to what would be a five-day, 30-game (men's and women's combined) basketball tournament.
The tournament had been 12 teams for each men's and women's divisions for a combined total of 22 games in four days.
The Conference USA Board of Directors will meet June 10 to approve the recommendations, which is expected to be a rubber stamp.
"Everybody was unanimous about wanting more teams, especially with all the new teams coming in to see what we're all about," UTEP athletic director Bob Stull said.
"There will be four more men's teams, four more women's teams coming in and that's great for the community."
The head of the city's sports commission, Brian Kennedy, was predictably excited about all the extra basketball, which will include incoming schools North Carolina-Charlotte, Florida Inter national, Florida Atlantic, Louis iana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and Texas-San Antonio.
"It's almost exponential," he said. "If you're a basketball fan, it's like you've died and gone to heaven -- all the extra basketball teams, all the extra basketball games. That's a great week to call in sick.
"This is a huge thing; it's like found money. All these fans are coming down. They'll have a great time and spend their money."
"It's great from an economic standpoint," men's basketball coach Tim Floyd said. "Eight more teams will be here, more bands, more cheerleaders, more restaurants, more fans."
In addition, men's basketball will move back to a travel-partner system, meaning on most weeks the men will be at home for Thursday-Saturday games one week and on the road for Thursday-Saturday games the next. The result should be fewer total road trips. Conversely, on weeks when a team is at home, it will usually have two home games.
"That's a real positive," Floyd said. "It's a return to the old days of the Western Athletic Conference for our fans. They will know exactly what's happening each week instead of having to research what we're doing.
"It will help our fans plan for games, plan trips. It's great for student-athletes because they are not traveling every week. It will help our crowd and that will help our student-athletes."
Stull said that for the men, Thursday games are historically better attended than Wednesday games. C-USA men typically played on Wednesday and Saturday last year.
The women, meanwhile, won't be going to a traveling-partner system and will play Wednesday-Saturday, instead of Thursday-Sunday.
"We like having two days in between games," UTEP coach Keitha Adams said. "It's good having Sunday off. Playing on Sunday, we didn't have a true day off; one week kind of ran into the next."
Under the 16-game league schedule approved for the women, they will play every team once and one team -- whoever is designated as the men's travel partner -- twice. Travel partners have not been determined. UTEP's would likely be either Tulsa or UTSA.
As for the tournament, the exact format has not been finalized, but C-USA spokeswoman Courtney Morrison-Archer said most likely the top four seeds will get two byes with Nos. 5-8 getting one bye.
Under that format, on the first day, Nos. 9-16 would have first-round games to eliminate four teams, with the four winners playing Nos. 5-8 in the second round.
The top four teams would then begin play in the quarterfinals. A team that is seeded in the bottom half would have to win five games in five days to win the tournament, a top-four seed would still need to win three.
Other major issues that were passed on to the board include: increasing the field size of fall championships for volleyball to 12, women's soccer to 10 and men's soccer to seven.

New Obesity Drug Could Have Fewer Side Effects
Page 2 of 2
The rate of weight loss with Lorcaserin is modest compared to other drugs in development, says Sajani Shah, an obesity expert at Tufts Medical Center, in Boston, who was not involved in the study. "But this drug looks more safe so far," she says.
According to the study, the most common side effects were headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Most significantly, scientists did not see an increase in heart-valve disease in people who took Lorcaserin, though the researchers will need to show this is true in a larger number of patients in order to satisfy the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The drug also appears to lack the psychiatric side effects, such as depression, seen with some other weight-loss drugs. Japanese drugmaker Eisai bought marketing rights to the drug on July 1.
Weight-loss drugs have had a troubled past. The field's greatest recent hope, a drug called rimonabant, was pulled from the European market in 2007 due to an increased risk of depression and suicidal thinking. (It was not approved in the United States.) A second drug, called sibutramine, was withdrawn in Europe this year after being linked to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. (The FDA plans to review the drug later this year.) And in May, the FDA warned that a drug called orlistat, sold over the counter as Alli, is linked to a rare type of liver injury.
Lorcaserin is one of three experimental weight-loss drugs the FDA will review this year, and the only novel compound in the group. The other two drugs, Qnexa and Contrave, are both combinations of existing drugs originally designed to target addiction, depression, and obesity. An FDA committee reviewed data on Qnexa, a combination of the weight-loss drug phentermine and the anticonvulsant topiramate, this week. A report released Tuesday concluded that the drug is effective but has some safety concerns. For example, clinical studies show it is linked to mild to moderate psychiatric side effects, such as depression.

From 1998 to 2010, the Sports Philanthropy Project (SPP) worked with professional sports teams, team foundations and athletes to leverage their financial resources, popularity and credibility to bolster health and health care programs in their communities. As part of the project, sports teams promoted programs sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to extend health insurance to uninsured people, particularly children.
The teams create coalitions and develop programs to promote better health in their communities, particularly by tackling childhood obesity. For example, the Healthy Youth Partnership between the St. Louis Rams and the Greater St. Louis Community Foundation, addresses childhood obesity through a coalition of more than 70 local groups.
Some 38 professional sports teams promoted two RWJF national programs designed to provide health insurance to more people: Cover the Uninsured Week and Covering Kids & Families®. The teams' efforts included public service announcements and appearances by athletes, cheerleaders and mascots at health fairs and press conferences.
SPP created the Steve Patterson Sports Philanthropy Award and presented it to eight professional sports organizations or athletes from 2005 to 2009. RWJF has since taken over the award.

Tomcat annoyances

Greetings JavaRanch,
I'm facing a couple of problems with
and I hope it's cause of my own lack of knowledge
, currently at my company we got two web applications running on a tomcat and I'm facing two annoyances:
1) If tomcat gets rebooted, instead of automatically starting all web applications it seem it just randomly picks one and starts up that one. I've been looking through all config files on the tomcat but I'm unable to find any line that specifies which application to start automatically. I did some research on this and basically people are saying you just have to live with this?
2) Not completely sure whether this is related to tomcat itself but when restarting tomcat and one of the two web applications start up it seems that some of my properties arn't getting fully loaded. It's a property file that contains a URL to a path where I keep some images and basically when i restart tomcat this property doesn't seem to get loaded succesfully (url = null). However if i restart the web application itself it reads the properties just fine or if the application doesn't start up automatically when tomcat gets rebooted and I start the application manually it also works perfectly.
Basically I'd be able to fix both of these problems if there's someway to create some script to startup my webapplications about 1 minute after my tomcat succesfully boots. If that's not possible I suppose I'll have to take a look at some other webcontainer.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Jos!
There's something wrong with your Tomcat system. When Tomcat (re)starts,
deployed application starts. It doesn't just pick and choose.
A deployed application is one that has:
A) A WAR file in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps
B) An Exploded (unzipped) WAR file in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps
C) A WAR Context definition in the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost directory
D) Don't use D. I'm not even going to mention it except to say that it was an old technique now discouraged
Tomcat will attempt to start each WAR, probably - although not guaranteed to be in alphabetical order of the WAR name. Webapps are supposed to be self-contained, so the exact startup order should not matter. If a webapp fails to start for any reason, it will be deactivated (and in some cases, undeployed). Regardless, Tomcat will go on to start up the next webapp.
There's no technical reason why Tomcat can't start apps in parallel, but it apparently doesn't. Which means that it's a little easier to read the Tomcat log.
Just to put the official seal on the above statements:
Also, it's worth mentioning that an exploded WAR and all its resources (including classes) will totally override a non-exploded WAR of the same name, even if the non-exploded WAR is newer. This can lead to trouble, since if Tomcat is configured in the usual way, it will explode WAR files as they deploy, resulting in both non-exploded and exploded copies of the WAR in the same Tomcat environment.
An IDE is no substitute for an Intelligent Developer.
I agree. Here's the link:

PHILADELPHIA -- A couple of days off did the 76ers a world of good.
Jrue Holiday supplied a game-high 30 points, nine assists and four steals, and Thad Young added 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Sixers defeated Houston 107-100 tonight.
The win snapped their season-long five-game losing streak by dispatching the highest-scoring team in the NBA. ...

Grave Situation
Native American battle over the possible disturbance of an Indian burial site at a Mission San Juan Capistrano garden gets ugly
A legal battle over beautification of a long-neglected dirt lot over Mission San Juan Capistrano's Old Cemetery is born out of "a vendetta," according to one attorney arguing the case.
Ed Connor, who represents the Diocese of Orange, blames Native American tribal leader David Belardes not getting along with Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano parish pastor Father Arthur Holquin for a protracted dispute that has drawn in the San Juan Capistrano Cultural Heritage Commission, the City Council, the California Native Heritage Commission, Orange County Superior Court and at least four groups of the Juaneño-Acjachemen Band of Mission Indians.
Belardes, who is the longtime chairman of one Juaneño group, has served as a Native American monitor on many building projects at the mission in the past 30 years, especially when the late Monsignor Paul Martin was in charge. But he has been called upon far less frequently since Holquin took over upon Martin's 2003 retirement.
"David Belardes does not get along with Father Art," says Connor, a longtime member of the parish.
Holquin decided in late spring 2007 to turn what he called a "rat infested" lot into a memorial garden honoring Martin. Included was a fireplace, fountain, food-preparation area and landscaping. But in Holquin's zeal to get the project completed before a cardinal's arrival from Rome to consecrate a new altar, he made two huge mistakes: He did not get city-required permits, and he failed to enlist a state-required Native American monitor to help deal with what are considered sacred remains that construction often unearths. By law and custom, Indian bones, teeth and artifacts must be quickly reburied as close as possible to where they were found.
There should have been no question a monitor was needed: The mission's own maps show part of the Old Cemetery, where the ancestors of many Juaneños are buried, is under the so-called Rectory Garden, which is adjacent to the rectory, near the El Camino Real mission entrance.
Belardes, who did not learn of the project until it was essentially completed, complained on July 17, 2007, to the city of San Juan Capistrano and the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which strives to preserve and protect Indian remains and associated grave goods. The city issued a stop-work notice two days later.
After months of investigations and negotiations, the mission submitted a belated site plan this past April that the city approved. In May, Belardes appealed to the city's Cultural Heritage Commission, arguing the project was disruptive to remains. Holquin claimed no bones were ever uncovered, but he did admit mistakes were made. The commission upheld the site-plan approval as long as the fireplace and food-prep area were removed.
Belardes wanted everything gone, so he appealed to the city council. Though technically no work should have gone on at the mission until the council hearing, Connor advised ripping out the fireplace and food-prep area, thinking that might "make this go away." Holquin in August apologized to council members, who decided removing the fountain and concrete foundations might disturb remains. They also ordered new Rectory Garden grass be replaced with drought-resistant turf that requires less watering.
A month later, under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Belardes took the city and mission to court on grounds that environmental reports had never been filed on the fountain, foundations and landscaping. A June hearing is scheduled.
San Juan Capistrano Mayor Mark Nielsen held mediation meetings in November between the mission, Belardes and Anthony Rivera, the leader of another faction of Juaneños who began working with Holquin to address Native American concerns after the priest's apologies. Belardes walked out of those talks after a second meeting.
Rivera defended the mission and Holquin when the NAHC took the matter up Dec. 12 at San Juan Capistrano City Hall. "I want to make this clear: No bones were discovered," Rivera told commissioners, who are appointed by the governor. "The laws have been satisfied. The mission and Father Holquin have been working very hard to make sure this does not happen again." He noted the mission flies a Juaneño flag and that many Juaneños are parishioners.
Stephen Miles, an Irvine-based attorney who represents Belardes, countered that by the time Rivera got involved, "the damage had already occurred." The lawyer also called it "disingenuous" to say no remains were found because neither a monitor nor an archaeologist trained to spot bone fragments was ever present.
Belardes, who attended the mission school in the 1950s and helped conduct the first Native American reburial there in 1981, accused the Church hierarchy of having acted "with malice" because they knew the garden would be over a cemetery and Indian monitors would be required. "These are our ancestors' remains here," Belardes said. "They keep saying 'garden, garden.' 'No,' I tell them, 'this is a cemetery.'"
Commissioners could not contain their outrage.
"I'm angry," said Commissioner Julie Tumamait-Stenslie, a Barbareño/Ventureño tribal leader. "There is no respect. We don't really know what was disturbed there."

Fareed Zakaria, host of Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN, was here with Eliot Spitzer last week. The video above highlights wide ranging discussion between both men that touched on Libya, Syria, Governor Walker's battle with public unions in Wisconsin and immigration. On the fight over collective bargaining in Wisconsin, Spitzer had this to say:
"The reality that unions have significant leverage is mirrored by the power of corporations, other political entities. That does not provide for me a significant basis to take away their organizational rights. It does mean that Governors, anybody negotiating for the public, needs to be incredibly tough. And you can be. And in fact, the unions in Wisconsin said, 'we will give you all of the financial give backs you want, we understand the fiscal distress. But do not take away our associational right.' It's like saying to people 'we don't like the outcome of the election, we're taking away your right to vote.' No, you make your case more persuasively, negotiate more aggressively. So I sympathize with the budgetary crisis, but not the remedy of changing our fundamental constitutional rights that we provide to people."
Conversation on Governor Walker and the unions in Wisconsin come at the 5:50 mark.
Upcoming Talks at 92Y include Jeff Greenfield in Conversation with Charlie Rose on March 20; Frank Rich in Conversation with Jill Abramson on March 22 and Paul Krugman interviewed by Jeff Greenfield on March 29.

Amazing scenery! You'd better make the best out of the yummy BBQ lunch and complimentary bar. I had such a blast. Thank you Viator!
This was an amazing trip! The staff was amazing, friendly and very accommodating. The lunch was some of the best food I have ever eaten, and it was a beautiful buffet in the middle of the jungle. The scenery of the islands was absolutely beautiful! This was just an amazing way to spend an afternoon!
Probably one of the best activities to do around the island, very friendly skippers and a great lunch provided. Be mindful of jellyfish if jumping into the water.
