About Home Base
Home Base, a partnership of the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital, helps Service Members, Post-9/11 Veterans and their Families heal from the Invisible Wounds of War through clinical care, wellness-based programs, community outreach, education and research.
Our goal at Home Base is to help our Veterans and their Families regain the lives they once had. Our clinical staff provides caring treatment each day for Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, depression, relationship challenges, military sexual trauma, substance abuse, and the stress and anxiety that result from wartime military service. If untreated, an unprecedented number of our Veterans have become overwhelmed and have taken their own lives. Veterans 18-24 years old are 4 times more likely to commit suicide than their civilian counterparts.
Each day our clinical team saves lives and assists our Veterans and Military Families to reclaim the lives they once had. Their mission is complete. Ours has just begun. Home Base operates one of the only private sector clinics in the nation that heals the Invisible Wounds of War. In addition to the world-class clinical care we provide at no cost, Home Base has provided clinical training to more than 10,000 medical professionals and is engaged in important research to develop improved therapies and care models for these invisible wounds.
Following the 2007 World Series win, Red Sox players and owners met with wounded Veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and learned of the medical challenges many of our returning Veterans were facing. Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner made a commitment, following this 4-hour visit, to partner with the Massachusetts General Hospital in order to address the signature Invisible Wounds of War. Home Base is the first partnership of its kind in the nation between an Academic Medical Center and a Major League Baseball team.
Home Base opened the door to its clinic in 2009, and since then has provided clinical care, services, and support to more than 5,000 Veterans and Military Family Members from across all six New England states. Outpatient care is provided at the Home Base clinic located on Merrimac Street, at no cost to Veterans or Family Members. We treat the Veteran and their "self-defined" Family in a holistic manner with individually tailored care plans. Our web based program at StayingStrong.org has provided on line tools for thousands parents and educators to strengthen resiliency in military-connected children, and our Veteran Outreach Team, comprised of Post-911 Veterans, assist our Veterans in navigating their transition and care.
In 2015, Home Base transitioned from a Boston-based regional program to National Center of Excellence for the Invisible Wounds of War. We launched a "first in the nation" two-week intensive clinical program for Veterans that extends the reach of this program to any Post 9-11 Veteran in the United States. We now grow our existing clinical staff of doctors, psychologists, nurses, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists and licensed clinical social workers to ensure that we maintain the world class evidence based care we have become known for as we double the size of our clinical program. All treatment is evidence-based and provided by clinicians from Mass General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, two of the best hospitals in America. In addition, Home Base has collaborated with both the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine, the MGH Sports Medicine team & Red Sox Strength and Conditioning team to develop several Wellness Based Programs to address the less complex issues that affect the mental well being of our returning Veterans.
With funding from the McCormick Foundation and Major League Baseball's Welcome Back Veterans, Home Base has provided free, online training to more than 10,000 clinicians nationwide to improve the clinical care for the Invisible Wounds of War. Additionally Home Base continues to perform research to develop new and improved treatments for Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injuries, and is developing plans for a significant research project that will profoundly improve our care.
Your support is crucial to our success - 95% of our funding is based upon individual, corporate, and foundational support. Our two signature events; the Run to Home Base, and Mission Gratitude serve as the cornerstone for these efforts.

About Home Base Veterans and Families
The following examples are based on the stories of veterans and families helped by Home Base:
"Tom" joined the military right after high school and served for a total of six years in the U.S. Army. His infantry unit was deployed for more than a year to an area south of Bagdad, which saw heavy fighting. When Tom returned home, he enrolled at a Massachusetts community college on the GI Bill. But his transition back to civilian life from combat experience in Iraq was difficult. He was uncomfortable in crowds, hyper-vigilant, had trouble driving a car, and difficulty concentrating on his school work. With advice from staff in the student veteran center at his college and encouragement from his girlfriend, Tom sought help for his "invisible wounds" at the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program.
Thanks to Home Base, Tom says he has been able to understand, overcome and manage his combat stress, strengthen his personal relationships, and regain his confidence and academic success as a student veteran. While he continues to work on his degree, Tom volunteers to help other Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans coordinate their benefits and adjustment to student life.
"Mr. and Mrs. C." Their son, a young Marine, who served in Afghanistan, was involved in a number of fire fights, as well as rescue and recovery operations of wounded and dead soldiers. He also experienced a traumatic brain injury following several IED blasts. When their son got home, he started having symptoms of post traumatic stress (PTSD). He was feeling anxious in crowds, having trouble sleeping, experiencing flashbacks, outbursts of anger, and abusing alcohol. His traumatic brain injury made it difficult to concentrate and focus on his work. The young Marine was frightened and confused, and he felt isolated from his family and friends. However, like many young service members, he kept his struggles hidden. Only his parents knew how troubled he was.
Mr. C. contacted Home Base for help. As a result of the interventions, the family says their son is recovering from his "invisible wounds" and learning to manage his symptoms. With support and instruction from the Home Base Family Team, Mr. and Mrs. C. have learned how to make their home and social environment support their son's recovery, and how to effectively communicate with their son when he is having symptoms of PTSD.
"Mary N." When her older brother was deployed for the second time to Afghanistan, Mary found that her worry and anxiety about her brother's safety were becoming overwhelming at times. She wasn't sure what to say when friends made off-hand remarks about why people would chose to serve in the military and the war. She also needed help coping with the changes her brother's deployment created in her family dynamic; sometimes she found herself supporting her parents, her younger siblings, and her deployed brother. Home Base helped Mary manage her anxiety, and she says the techniques she learned help to improve her communication with her friends and family. Siblings are often forgotten when we think about families being under great stress as a result of military deployments. Clinicians often focus on spouses and children -- but not brothers and sisters of young soldiers. Home Base offers individual and group counseling to all family members throughout the deployment cycle.
"The M family" Mr. "M." is an Army combat veteran, who was deployed twice to Iraq. Early in his second deployment, the family's elementary school-aged son began to have some anxiety about his dad being in harm's way. He was having trouble sleeping and separating from his mom to go to school, even though he'd never had problems with either before the second deployment. To the family's surprise, the little boy's anxiety continued even after his dad came home. The family came to the Home Base Program for help. Home Base clinicians met with the son, his younger brother, and their parents, and with education and guidance the entire family has developed a way to talk about their feelings in response to the dad's deployment, and as a result, they say they have learned how to help make the children feel safe and less anxious.

Bing…Cherry Cola!
I'm often asked how I get inspiration for my colors. The answer is in more ways than I can explain. Here is the most recent example of my creative process which produced PPC-DT12 Cherry Cola.
I was shopping in a local grocery store a few weeks back and they were having a one day sale on bing cherries. Now I LOVE cherries. They remind me of my favorite childhood treat, a cherry sundae from our local Dairy Queen. They had so many cherries in the store they were stacked everywhere. You couldn't leave the store without buying some of these peak- of- the -season beauties. Needless to say I bought some.
I brought them back to the store and customers and staff were all enjoying their deliciousness when I caught one out of the corner of my eye and was mesmerized. I headed straight for the paint cans and in a little while I was on my way to making a color I thought I would call Bing. Here's were the creative process is sometimes a bit unpredictable. As I was adjusting the color to get it where I thought I wanted it to go, it came to a beautiful red brown unlike anything that I had seen. After a bit of research looking to see if I had duplicated a color from some other manufacturer, I realized that this indeed was a "perfect color" as it was.
As I was walking around the store showing it to people trying to get inspirations for names, Nan Kornfeld our trusty color consultant chimed in with, "Cherry Cola". I loved it immediately since it represented both where the inspiration started (cherry) and where it ended up (cola).
So this really is as much fun as you might imagine it to be at times. It is always a delight to have a new color born into the collection since it doesn't happen very often. This one is super saturated with all the richness of the cherry while maintaining it's overall brown hue. I put it next to my other newest color, PPC-GRN16 Mariposa Spring, and I wanted to run out and paint a room immediately!

P&Q: Fresh Orange Pork Tenderloin
by MARY on February 3, 2013 in problems and questions

This post was written by MARY who has written 112 posts on French Fridays with Dorie.

Went a little rogue with this one, since The Dude is pretty particular about the 'doneness" of his tenderloin and pre-cut medallions were probably going to end up being over done (at least the way I cook…). I caramelized the onions & seared the whole tenderloin in an enameled cast iron pan and then finished them off in a hot oven (~425) until up to temperature. I used the oranges, some coconut balsamic and the other ingredients to make a "gastrique" to go over the meat. Very good!
Oops – I think I just wrote my whole post above…
Mardi (eat. live. travel. write.) February 3, 2013 at 4:47 PM #
What – Cher going rogue??? Whatever next ;)
I actually followed the recipe, despite my reluctance to cut into a beautiful tenderloin. We LOVEd this and I will be making it again when tenderloin is on special, but I will also use the flavours and the sauce idea for other cuts of pork. Delicious!
So, what can the controversy be about this week? ;)
Mardi (eat. live. travel. write.) February 4, 2013 at 2:32 PM #
Interesting… my pork was cooked perfectly (it was probably about 5-6 cm long and about 3-4 cm in diameter) – I was very aware of it too. Cutting the medallions is going to make it tricky to get the "doneness" right unless you keep a close eye. I like Cher's idea of using the whole tenderloin… Or using the sauce and idea for chops or another cut of pork…
I thought my pork medallions were cooked a little too long as well. Agree with you Trevor. What was the reason for the onions? That's my question. Next time I might leave them out and let the cardamon shine through more. Liked this. Served this Super Bowl night — used beets for salad because I like the orange/beets dance.

Maybe it was just us…but my husband had to rescue this dish by straining all the pulp and onions then adding arrowroot to thicken the sauce. Once that was done, he stirred in some mandarin oranges. We didn't particularly care for the onions, either. However, the pork was very tender. I made risotto with butternut squash I had left from last week.
tammycirceo February 7, 2013 at 1:25 AM #
I started out committed to searing in a hot pan and finishing in the oven because that is what I usually do and love the outcome. I then make a sauce in the pan … However, because I've been such a rebel this year, I decided to stick by the book. It was fine, but I don't like overcooked pork and will roast next time. Maybe I'm just a roaster … ?

Tiki Barber and Traci Johnson appear on Tuesday's 'Bethenny' show. / Bethenny
Tiki Barber, 37, who left wife Ginny in 2010 when she was eight months pregnant with twin girls, has revealed that he and wife Traci Johnson, 23, are expecting a baby.
Johnson spilled the beans during a taping of Bethenny Frankel's talk show, Bethenny. In the segment set to air Tuesday, Johnson says she's "about six and a half months" along. Barber says the baby is due in December.
The retired New York Giants running back, who hooked up with Johnson when she was an intern at NBC and he a Today show correspondent, got married in a civil ceremony in New York's City Hall in July, eight days after his divorce to his wife of 11 years became final. She was ripped in media reports for being a "homewrecker." Barber lost his Today show job. He is now a host on a CBS Sports Radio show.
On Bethenny, Barber proudly rubbed his bride's belly as the audience applauded. This will be Barber's fifth child. With Ginny, he has the twin girls and two sons.

(USA TODAY) -- According to the Publishers Weekly Twitter account, Tom Clancy died Wednesday in a Baltimore hospital at age 66.
The New York Times has also tweeted the news saying, "Breaking News: Tom Clancy, Author of Military Thrillers, Dies at 66
The Baltimore Sun reports that Clancy died at Johns Hopkins after a "brief illness."
Born in Baltimore, Clancy was an insurance salesman before he went on to write blockbuster espionage books, including The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger.
The books spawned commercially successful films with actors Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck as Clancy's famous fictional character Jack Ryan. Clancy's other famous character, John Clark, has been played by actors Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber.
"Tom's novels have always been prescient, whether they were about technology or military tactics or geo-political maneuvering," his editor, Tom Colgan, told USA TODAY in 2011 after the release of Against All Enemies
Clancy and his first wife Wanda married in 1969, and divorced in 1999. He went on to marry frelance journalist Alexandra Marie Llewellyn, whom he had met in 1997.

As parents, we are both blessed and cursed with perspective. Your teenage daughters meltdown over a friends teasing about her new hairstyle may seem trivial when compared to looming job cuts at work and a stack of unpaid bills. For you, its an unpleasant exchange soon forgotten. For her, its a devastating betrayal that may lead to anxiety and self-doubt.
Relationship dynamics are a big anxiety issue, especially with teenage girls, says Shannon South, an Asheville-area licensed professional counselor, author and speaker. And when differences exist, kids often dont have a strong enough sense of self to navigate these waters.
Relationship issues are but one anxiety trigger for children and teens. Moving to a new town, starting in a new school, or even moving up a grade with a tougher course load can bring on anxious feelings. Children who live in fear for their physical or emotional safety may experience even deeper levels of anxiety.
The physical symptoms of anxiety may run from digestive issues like stomach aches to headaches or a heavy chest feeling, South explains. Others may have shortness of breath, grind their teeth, be irritable, or display nervous habits like pulling their hair.
She notes that a lack of sleep can exacerbate the problem.
If kids are anxious or if there is too much change in their lives without communication from the parent, having too little sleep can become a huge issue, she says. When a child rests, it allows him to integrate the day and his nervous system can recover.
South encourages parents to be a calming presence with anxious children to help them process and integrate their experiences. She also recommends teaching relaxation methods such as aromatherapy, using warm packs, and other self-soothing techniques to help kids dispel anxiety.
Carl Mumpower, a clinical and family psychologist in Asheville, notes that children who are anxious very rarely look that way.
They mask it much like adults. A parent really has to pay attention and be engaged and concerned to note the signals, he explains. I encourage parents to remember the anxiety triangle of worry, fear and self-criticalness. When you see evidence of all three, it's a good indicator of an anxiety condition.
Mumpower notes that kids and teens may seem distracted, worried, insecure or detached when they are anxious and may be more susceptible to drug abuse or other addictions. Other red flags to watch for include a change in patterns of behavior, trouble communicating or making eye contact, moodiness, or a fear of trying new things.
Children and teens are walking on a slippery and melting bridge as they struggle toward adulthood. They need our persistent help, encouragement, and nudging to get across, Mumpower says, adding that parents need to stay connected and engaged with their children to help with this journey. Above all else, Mumpower recommends love.
Love is the great compensator for all difficulties of the heart and mind. Life is hard for everyone, but it is easier when you have a buffer of love from someone who believes in you, he says. Anxiety is a messenger telling us that things are not OK. If we listen to that messenger and fix whats broken, he goes away. If we dont, he'll stay for a lifetime.

UEFA and the French Football Federation (FFF) have created a joint venture, EURO 2016 SAS, which is chaired by Jacques Lambert, the chief executive of the 1998 FIFA World Cup organising committee. He was director general at the FFF between 2005 and 2010.
EURO 2016 SAS is responsible for all operational aspects of the final tournament. This new organisational model gathers, under the same umbrella, UEFA EURO 2016 activities that in the past would have been split between UEFA and the local organising committee(s). All competition matters and commercial rights, such as media and marketing rights, remain under UEFA's control.
EURO 2016 SAS was founded in January 2011 under French law and registered in Paris. The company is owned by UEFA (a 95% share) and the FFF (5%). Several times a year, a steering group meeting will take place bringing together the key stakeholders in the planning of the tournament – UEFA, FFF, French government and host cities – to deal with strategic or sensitive issues connected with preparations for the event.
The eight-member steering group consists:
Jacques Lambert (chairman)
Noël Le Graët (FFF President)
Patrick Kanner (French town, youth and sports minister and government representative)
Alain Juppé (host cities' representative)
Borislav Mihaylov (UEFA Executive Committee member)
Peter Gilliéron (UEFA Executive Committee member)
Gianni Infantino (UEFA general secretary)
Fernando Gomes (UEFA special advisor to the confederations)
Michel Platini, the UEFA President, will regularly take part in the meetings and work of the steering group.
EURO 2016 SAS takes care of the implementation of the tournament and its associated events, handles private safety and security, and promotes the competition.
The French government and local authorities provide the stage, infrastructure, public services and transport. They are also in charge of public safety and security, and handle promotion of the country and the host cities.

good morning and happy tuesday. i hope your week is off to a good start! it's officially almost summer! the weather's been a little crazy with lots of rain and humidity over here.
it's brutal but actually has been creating pretty random prisms everywhere from the oil on the street to rainbows in unexpected places.
then again i guess rainbows are always unexpected!
anyway i took the opportunity to use it for another color post.
candy and i were contemplating the incomprehensibility of the vibrant neon in a peacock feather the other day.
we wondered where else you'd see so much brilliant color (let alone tones that are basically fluorescent), in mother nature's palette.
i've been kind of a minimalist for the past few years, really loving the serenity of whites on whites.
but these color posts have challenged me to look at things in a different way. it was hard at first to find decor that was inspired by the neon-ness of rainbows without being gaudy.
but it's everywhere from casa mexicana
to boho chic
to a rococo room!
humans never cease to amaze me with their creativity and homage to everything from flowers to birds to fish.
so does man imitate nature? it certainly isn't the reverse!
and boy do we love a riot of color!
of course once i started looking for neon was absolutely everywhere
the combos are magnificent
and even when they're subtle
they're strong
kind of wild when an entire town or village comes together to show their love for color
maybe there's something magic in it
a bridge to another dimension?
the best part of working on the post was the realization that the neon in the feather or the flower was just a microcosm for the really big neon rainbows
in the sky
in the cosmos
daily galaxy- The Unbearable Beauty of the Nebula
throughout the entire universe
ahhh well, i could have gone on and on with this post, i fell deep into a vortex that was far from a black hole.
i was just about to push publish when i stumbled onto fractals. don't get me started!
and that's the beauty of the both the world and the web i guess. there's always another layer do discover.
but we have to save something for tomorrow after all! for now, have a beautiful, colorful day!
what goes with chartreuse
) hello and happy friday! i don't know about you but i'm not sure where the week went. it whizzed by at lightning speed. one of the good things about blogging is that it helps keep track of the days like a log. one of the bad things is that it shows what an obsessive compulsive personality looks like!
(173599760607893452) i fell into the trap again today, spending more time playing than working so far this morning. but what i've come to realize is that it will all get done no matter how you arrange the hours.
(23925441742692309) so my little indulgence was again a challenge for me, taking a color i normally shy away from in decor and checking out how it's used creatively indoors and out: chartreuse
(38702878020666976) a little touch goes a long way
(38702878020666959) and if you can take it, it's a lot of fun. but it's a weird color to pinpoint. it straddles between green and yellow, natural and neon
(23925441743110695) below is coco chanel's apartment where she used an apple tone on her pillows
(228205906090555498) sometimes it can lean toward garish
(38702878020666955) the vanity in this bath is what i believe is true chartreuse
(228205906089582174) or maybe it's this ceiling trim…
(58054282666090380) but of course there's artistic interpretation
(38702878020666910) it's a very bold choice in decorating but for those who take the plunge the reward is great!
(228205906088210722) this little pillow is enough for some!
(58054282666087060) but i see how accents can brighten up the place
(58054282666087056) another great choice for a DIY as an entry chest color
(173599760606803219) or again, in a piece of art
(183662491025747124) maybe take it outdoors
(23925441742943529) it works with almost every color from red to turquoise
(58054282666087073) and we're certainly not the first ones to love it!
and if there's ever any doubt of it's timeless chicness, we can always turn to the french who apparently have been using it for years. below at versailles. go figure!
well i hope you enjoyed today's colorburst. now off to work for real! have a great friday!

Virtual Currencies Compliance
Virtual currencies are ideal means of engaging in commercial transactions online. Virtual currency transactions are instant, immune from chargeback risk, and have developed a reputation for protecting user information in a manner vastly superior to credit cards and bank transfers. In spite of these attributes, virtual currencies have been the subject of intense government scrutiny since they first started circulating circa 1996. Virtual currencies (as well as their central issuers) have also been the targets of commercial lawsuits, civil forfeiture actions, grand jury investigations and criminal prosecutions based on a wide variety of allegations, including money laundering, fraud, unlicensed money transmitting business claims and a host of other issues. While there is no disputing the benefits of virtual currencies, they come with great risk, and those who issue virtual currencies or operate as commercial exchangers must always be mindful of their intense compliance obligations.
Today, Bitcoin is the world's most popular virtual currency, though it is by no means the first. Between the time of its birth and March of 2013, Bitcoin and all other virtual currencies existed in an area of the law where there was no law.
That is not to say that Bitcoin issuers and users were not subject to the money laundering provisions of federal law if they used Bitcoin for unlawful purposes, but up until March 2013, the United States government had not decided how to regulate Bitcoin transactions. Then, on March 18, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Department of the Treasury issued its Guidance entitled, "Application of FinCEN's Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies." This was a watershed moment for the regulation of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. In FinCEN's Guidance, FinCEN does not mention Bitcoin by name, but does include a discussion of "De-Centralized Virtual Currencies" which explains as follows:
A final type of convertible virtual currency activity involves a de-centralized convertible virtual currency (1) that has no central repository and no single administrator, and (2) that persons may obtain by their own computing or manufacturing effort.
A person that creates units of this convertible virtual currency and uses it to purchase real or virtual goods and services is a user of the convertible virtual currency and not subject to regulation as a money transmitter. By contrast, a person that creates units of convertible virtual currency and sells those units to another person for real currency or its equivalent is engaged in transmission to another location and is a money transmitter. In addition, a person is an exchanger and a money transmitter if the person accepts such de-centralized convertible virtual currency from one person and transmits it to another person as part of the acceptance and transfer of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency.
FinCEN's March 2013 guidance has made the following point crystal clear: if an entity is in the business of exchanging Bitcoin for real currency or vice versa, or accepts Bitcoin from one person and transmits the real currency equivalent to another person, that entity is a money transmitter and will be regulated as such in the United States, and will be subject to the criminal provisions of 18 USC 1960 for failing to register with the federal government as a money transmitter or being licensed in any state that would require a money transmitting license.
FinCEN's regulatory scheme for Bitcoin dealers is unquestionably applicable for dealers operating outside of the United States. Thus, even assuming that a Bitcoin exchanger does not have a physical nexus in the United States, so long as the exchanger services people located in the United States, the exchanger will be regulated as a money transmitter. As FinCEN explained on July 18, 2011, and as we blogged shortly thereafter, FinCEN's rules make foreign-located businesses engaging in MSB activities within the U.S. subject to U.S. law. As a result, even foreign-based MSBs with no physical presence in the U.S. can be classified as an MSB and thus subject to the rigorous requirements of the BSA. However, foreign banks as well as foreign financial agencies that engage in activities, that if conducted in the U.S. would require them to be registered with the SEC or CFTC, are excluded from the definition of an MSB. As noted in the rule, "To permit foreign-located persons to engage in MSB activities within the United States and not subject such persons to the BSA would be unfair to MSBs physically located in the United States and would also undermine FinCEN~s efforts to protect the U.S. financial system from abuse."

Urine testing in the Navy from March to July turned up nearly 150 users of spice or other designer drugs. (MC2 Mark Logico / Navy)
The frigate Crommelin should have been good for one more deployment. But then that last cruise went up in smoke. Spice smoke, to be precise.
The new synthetic drug caught on among Crommelin sailors in 2010 and quickly spread. During a port call in Singapore that year, one crew member collected cash from his shipmates and went out and bought spice to share around the ship. By early this year, that sailor's roommate had turned him in, leading to the busts of 12 other sailors. As a result, 7 percent of the ship's 175-man complement had been booted.
The losses led to maintenance deficiencies, then poor inspections reports. Crommelin's chance for a final cruise never materialized. The frigate Vandegrift deployed instead in May, and Crommelin's decommissioning was moved up from 2013 to October.
Spice, unheard of just a few years ago, is now the drug of choice among sailors and other troops looking to get high but hoping to evade drug tests. Random urinalysis tests collected from March 21 to July 13 turned up 147 sailors using popular designer drugs such as spice, which attempts to mimic the properties of marijuana, and bath salts, which are marketed as perfumed crystals but are consumed for a cocaine-like high.
Sailors are 27 times more likely to use those drugs than any other illegal drug, according to Navy statistics.
Testing challenges
The need for a reliable test to identify spice use has been known for some time, and the Navy seems to have finally found one that works, said Juan Garcia, assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs, in an interview with Navy Times.
There was "a perception among many sailors and midshipmen that we couldn't test for [spice]," Garcia said. "And there was something to that for a long time. It was a moving target; it was constantly changing because of the producers or the manufacturers."
Operations Specialist 1st Class (SW/AW) Steven Manning, who doubles as Crommelin's urinalysis coordinator, said just having a test makes a difference, because the threat of a random sample acts as an effective deterrent to trying the drug.
"The No. 1 thing is just making [a] test for it testing on a regular basis, just like regular urinalysis," he said.
The Navy plans to up testing to 3,000 samples per month later this summer. Efforts continue to find newer, more improved tests that can detect more compounds.
The drug problem is not unique to the Navy, and Garcia said efforts are underway to coordinate Defense Department-led testing, thereby cutting costs on administering it. This could free up money for developing better tests, Garcia said.
In the Navy, the spice tests cost $70 per sample and are collected separately from the standard drug test, a Navy official said. Garcia said he expects that by fiscal 2014, spice will be a part of the Navy's standard urinalysis test.
Designer-drug makers try to stay ahead of the tests, regularly switching up their formulas to skirt the Drug Enforcement Agency and other efforts to control or ban their products.
"That makes it difficult to keep up with them," said Marilyn Huestis, senior investigator and the chief of the Chemistry and Drug Metabolism Section, Clinical Pharmacology and therapeutics Research Branch at the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "It's a lot of effort to try and have those methods always up to speed with the latest drugs."
In June, the DEA added 26 compounds commonly found in synthetic marijuana blends to its list of controlled substances, bolstering an earlier ban on five substances the DEA enacted with emergency regulatory powers. The expansion was necessary as spice makers adjusted their recipes.
Meanwhile, drug makers and marketers aren't subtle about trying to stay a step ahead of the feds. One online retailer advertised a synthetic marijuana blend with this pitch: "Beat the oppressive DEA ban with our newly improved herbal incense!" Said another: "This new formulation is legal throughout the U.S.A. and most countries worldwide."
Garcia said he knows what he's up against, but that the Navy isn't going to give in.
"We are on the offensive here … by continuing to explore the numbers of compounds we can detect," he said.
So far, one ironic factor holding up better tests has been worry over the risks of spice use in the first place. The Food and Drug Administration, which oversees such tests, won't let researchers test synthetic cannabinoids on human subjects, Huestis said, because not enough is known about each drug's toxicity.
But the dearth of information about these substances shouldn't be seen as a way to use them without getting into trouble, but rather as a major deterrent, Huestis said.
"That's what's so frightening about people using the drugs," she said, "since we don't know much about the short-term or the long-term effects."
Popping positive
The military can presently scan for eight key compounds used to make spice and bath salts, Garcia said.
If a sailor tests positive for spice or another drug, his command may start an investigation and take further disciplinary action, said Dorice Favorite, the head of the Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse prevention program.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is also alerted, and NCIS agents gather intelligence to root out other users or sellers.
There are a lot of them:
In June alone, NCIS opened 90 spice investigations, a spokesman said.
The investigations usually yield results, Garcia said.
"Once you start investigating, you find other evidence such as paraphernalia, or another sailor comes forward and speaks," he said. "And the house of cards folds in."
Navy bases continue to ban sailors from visiting stores that sell spice and related products. But these efforts tend to be ineffective, sailors said. Instead of avoiding these stores, sailors looking for spice use the list as a shopping guide.
Leaders keep trying to make clear the risks of spice, but it's not clear those efforts are working.
"We have been warning sailors that are thinking about experimenting with drugs that eventually they're going to get caught," said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jon Greenert in a July statement. "We have zero tolerance for drug use, including designer and synthetic drugs like spice."
Toll on the fleet
The Navy is trying to put out another message as well: Sailors who smoke spice can have far-reaching effects on the service.
OS1 Stevens, on Crommelin, describes the "huge hit" his division took after spice use on his ship was discovered and the guilty were sent packing.
"It was hard to get bodies back," he said. "When the Navy finally realized, and did what they had to do to get us bodies, I was getting E-1s straight out of boot camp. They had no knowledge, no experience."
Gas Turbine Systems Technician (Mechanical) 1st Class (SW) Keohokea Cordeira, also of Crommelin, echoed Stevens' comments, and said the drug also poses risks at sea.
During Crommelin's last deployment, one of Cordeira's sailors had an incident where he spilled fuel all over the mess deck. That same sailor was later busted as one of the ship's spice smokers. Cordeira can't say for sure whether spice played a role in the spill, but it sticks with him as a warning.
Crommelin's top enlisted sailor confirmed that spice smoking was occurring while the guided-missile frigate was underway.
"It's just a matter of time before there's an incident," Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Scott deLage said, referring to the Navy at large. "These kids were standing watch, smoking this stuff, when they were supposed to be providing security or monitoring equipment."
And if you think it's only those boneheaded sailors smoking up, think again.
When Crommelin's investigation was underway, deLage said he was disturbed to see some names of up-and-comers implicated.
"Looking at the list of kids we had I had one in particular that absolutely shocked me," he said. "He was a stellar sailor being groomed for positions of much greater responsibility."
Now, his career is ruined.
The bad news for sailors who use spice is that they'll likely be made examples.
"The more it's publicized that people are getting caught and are getting discharged and are getting other than honorable or dishonorable discharge eventually it will sink in," deLage said. "But, it's going to take time."

C'est la vie.
Act 1 - No turning back.
Eric - Fly through a strange red sky, to a new foreign land.
Raymond - I live in a town that's crushed a thousand dreams,
and ripped at the seams.
Carl - 1993, aged 5. The only thing on my mind was Batman. Not once did I think of Robin. It was all about the man who became a bat.
Eric - Anticipation high, my time here seems dangerously unplanned.
Raymond - That brand new pair of pants you shouldn't have spent your rent on.
Carl - My mum bought me the costume for Christmas. I would jump off the bunk bed. My little sister was Spiderman.
Eric - The life of bohemia waits, leaving behind the life I hate.
Raymond - But six months later you were back.
Just like that, same old job, same old friends.
Carl - The present that holds my best childhood memories. I hold onto each one. A lot are received throughout the years, but only a few are remembered.
Eric - What to do…
Where to go, to the city? The only life I know.
Raymond - Struggling to make ends…
And who did you blame…? This town.
Carl - Batman was my hero. I wore his outfit with pride…and to bed at times. Someone out there may have needed my help…
Eric - Catch a train out to the coast, live a new life in years could boast.
Raymond - (Shout) But I am not this town!
Act 2 - listen
Carl - Eric, if you were Batman, you wouldn't need to catch a train.
The dream of something different…
To be honest Eric, if you think this way about our life now then I am sure you would soon find a dullness in the bohemian lifestyle you wish for.
To hell with that… work on what you already have.
Eric - Places I've been, the things I've seen, and to the people I love the most.
Carl - Kiss them all good bye, they're not worth it!
I mean… that's the spirit. Take from every experience. Love is a lovely word… makes me feel warm.
Eric - Only time will tell, what in this path lies.
Carl - What in this path lies…? (Pause as Carl is thinking where his path could lead)
The doors are open, the question is, which doors are going to slam in that beautiful face of yours? Work in your own time. You'll find your right path eventually.
Eric - Bohemian life is here, right before my very eyes,
To me that is the ultimate prize.
Raymond - A town that's cultivated a thousand convicts, that fight between what conflicts, their need for the weed that holds them back.
Eric - Peace is a virtue. Why do you have to be so aggressive with your attitude and the way you speak? There is always going to be conflicts, but the beauty of love and peace should be looked for and cherished. There is not much of the love in the world… not just this town you know!
Smoking the herb of marijuana enlightens and brings out the happy thoughts which you are clearly missing. Holding me back? I think you are holding yourself back. Clearly you are uptight and need a bit of loosening. You look as if you're going to explode all the time.
You see what they do not. You know you have us and your family. I'll be there to pull you back when your switch is knocked.
Raymond - Unable to see that, their life has shattered into a thousand pieces, once a family of sisters, cousins, brothers and nieces.
They are all alone, at the end of the phone to their daughters.
And who will they blame for these choppy waters?
Eric - Let me guess…
This town?
Raymond - This town! But I am not this town.
Eric - No! You are Raymond. You make your own decisions. What this town has given us is a stretch of the mind. Who would you be without this town?
Carl - I'll enjoy it while I can, this time next year I'll form a plan.
Raymond - Form a plan. You better hurry with the forming, before it's too late. You are a good man. You can make things of yourself I'm sure.
Carl - A plan to leave this life behind, for a life I believe is for the blind.
Raymond - You have been spending way too much time with Eric. The weed smoking dreams are not helping what is actually going on around you. Think of Batman, now I know he would never have got up and left. He had a duty that he always carried through.
Carl - Though I will always have this experience in mind.
Suburban shuttle to stop. "Day of bore". Not today I'm asking for more.
Raymond - We run around nonchalant, dejected and restless, like "We can't change anything though, so why should we try?" But we can change - we can rampage till we stand strange. We got our hands chained clutching at freedom. The freedom of say what you mean and say it with meaning. Change your own mind before you try change the sequence. Live through your energy, not through your reason.
This is the last day of my discontented season, no more will I tolerate this greed it's demeaning.
Needing a breeze through the stifling heat of elitist descriptions of what we can reach. They want you to fear it, to not get too near it so they can continue pretending they're smarter. Sit still though; receive it from self like Siddhartha. The past is just what we came after.
Act 3. - The hole.
(Eric, Carl and Raymond put forward a speech)
Carl - We have been brought together by our town. Contradictions score high. Thoughts are recognised before the tongues can move, practicing the art of reflection.
What we call ourselves could be titled as 'cocky' I suppose. I believe we are the town's sturdy three wise men. Look not on thy church, but on the face of thyself.
Thank-you for listening.
Raymond - There is no one listening, other than the walls around. If they could speak they would tell you to shut that hole in your face.
Eric - (Clapping his hands) I liked it… very well put. I think you should mention the fact that Raymond here is the initial starter of the three of us wise men. Without Raymond I do not think we would be absorbed in the news of our town so much.
Carl - Okay, okay. Ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to add a thank-you. Not just to you, but to Raymond he was the founder of this group.
(Carl takes off his shoe and holds it up high as a toast to Raymond)
To Raymond.
Eric - (Takes his shoe off also)
To Raymond. We love you very much.
Raymond - Cut this shit out. Look around, what do you see? I see four walls. Three men standing in the midst of their phobias, unwilling to realise it I'm sure. How can you act the way you do in a time like this?
Eric - What?! Don't you put that grey dull horizon of yours into the minds of happiness.
I advise you to get a bit of imagination, or die in those grey choppy waters of yours.
The art work in this room is beautiful. Just look at the colours. My particular favourite is Zena Holloway's work. The shark in a cage. The roles have been switched. Divers outside, ready to pounce on the cage with the Great White not able to do anything.
Carl - My Auntie went on holiday to South Africa and that's what she did. They gave her DVD footage.
Eric - It's a bit different when you're the one in the cage. That was your Aunties decision and many other peoples, but this shark in the photo didn't have that.
Pause. Looking at the wall.
Raymond - That shark has fear in its eyes. A baby shark! All creatures have regrets.
Pause. Still looking at the wall.
It takes more than fucking someone you don't know to keep yourself warm!
Carl - (Laughs) where did that thought come from? One minute sharks, the next you mention fucking. Excuse me if I'm wrong, maybe I'm the sick one here, but to think of that while you see this picture is pretty hostile.
Raymond - (Laughs) says you and your poetic absurdness. It's the three of us for a while now; I don't want to fucking be here. The thought of seeing the room as it is would drive me nuts. May as well not prolong the madness eh? Its better this way, I can control it for now.
All three are looking at the wall.
You don't really see anything there do you?
Eric - Man! The doubt is excessively rich right now. There is no need to answer that.
Carl - Essentially, art exists in the mind of the creator.
Raymond - Can you see in the dark? You won't find love in a hole.
Eric- Love is river deep and mountain high. There's a hole out there with the woman of your dreams. If you dig a little every day you'll find her quicker. Try and do the digging all in a day and believe me you'll be exhausted.
Raymond - Most probably turn out to be a black widow spider.
Eric - A black widow spider… now that's some imagination. Deep down in the earth that you dig. What do you find?
A worm…?
An ant…?
A beetle…?
Raymond - None of them, I find a beautiful, shapely, long legged creature, quite big. That's how I like them. Fun is had for a few days, think they start to like me then they punch their way through to my heart and pull it out, ripping all the veins. Red blood stained shirt. They eat me in one.
Eric - Red is the colour for love.
Raymond - Well in that case, I don't ever want to be in love again. Jessica was her name, evil was her game and she most definitely was not tame.
Carl - Well that is a tremendous shame. When I was nine years old I had a girl friend, my best friend. We went to school together. Her name was Tanya, a road away she lived. I was the little man, proud of it too. Down the alley we would go.
For kisses you know. Innocence…you would think. For a nine year old, that is me, not so innocent. My friends were envious of me. "How did you get a girl friend?" Made me feel as high as a kite.
Eric - Floating in the sky, light as a feather.
Raymond - How long did that feeling last? Was it more than a week?
Carl - Sarcasm I can take but I can tell that you haven't experienced the floating.
Raymond - I don't need to float, I need to learn how to balance myself first. Taken by surprise with the emotion of floating will not do me any justice. I need to know when it's coming and prepare my balance.
The deflation did not take long…no?
Carl - I never saw her again, I moved closer to you two. And I continued to float in your presence.
Obviously a little deflated.
Eric - Door one, door two, door three.
Raymond - Is this the way to be?
Carl - Love Lane is only a dream.
Eric - Far away in my mind.
Raymond - What I'd love to find.
Carl - Tea and coffee all around
Eric - An open house is abounding.
Raymond - One day I shall have this,
Carl - not forgetting what I had to miss.
Eric - Promised beginnings, like the period of honeymoons.
Raymond - Cracks ever showing,
Carl - but still we are glowing.
Eric - Pride likes to hide, no one sees what we see.
Raymond - Gripping onto the key. We won't move,
Carl - we have nothing to prove.
Eric - Days go by and the wind blows fine.
Raymond - Sitting chatting with a bottle of wine.
I mean beer. A bottle of Carlsberg.
Eric - Drink what you like. That's not really relevant.
Today I thought the downstairs were up, I was that muddled I couldn't string a sentence together. I couldn't sentence a string together. I couldn't together a together, together.
Raymond - You couldn't string a tent.
Carl - I went up to the tent and tried to sting it, expecting it to recoil in pain. It just stood there and said you have…
Raymond -All over the place written all over your face.
Eric - I was that muddled I got into brain pain on the train because they couldn't take the pre pay off my oyster card.
Something to do with. We only get two percent of your fare on here so we don't do it. If you get a zone 3 4 5 travel card for an extra I don't know, you could get a zone 5 extension, or a single from where you're travelling. On the way back you can, but you can't on the way there, it's different.
Carl - Its London transport
Raymond - Its London transport
Eric - Its London transport, its London transport, its London transport.
Carl - It's a wonder other commuters do not get muddled in the same way as you were muddled today.
Eric - I was that muddled, all I could think about was.
Crossed wires and radio interference.
Space and confusion.
Lumps and protrusions.
Alien invasions.
The tweed jacket of the man sitting next to me.
The Bakerloo line upholstery opposite me that I had mistaken for my fiancée.
The end of the line.
The friend of the fisherman.
The giant rat that tries to take over everybody's lives and resides at Elephant and Castle.
Carl - Oh goodness, you were muddled.
Eric - I was alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta backwards. And now the giant rat is after me.
Carl - Run, run, as fast as you can you can't catch me…
Raymond - (looking at Carl's hair).
Your hair is quite ginger. Ginger is a famously rude biscuit… I would.
Pause (Eric is running)
I'd kill for a biscuit right now.
Eric falls to the floor huffing and puffing from running round the room.
Eric - Look if the rat can find its way out, so can we.
Raymond - No rat was here. I would have let you have that story but thinking about following the rat's path is ridiculous. You need to get used to this dump, don't get such thoughts in your head just yet.
Eric - I did just understand what you said but there's no harm in giving it a go.
Raymond - Give it a go if you wish, just remember we're not in a film. This is real life.
Carl - If it was a film, this would remind me of "The Shawshank Redemption".
Eric - Although we are not innocent.
Carl - We're not terribly bad though, not like half the people back home.
Raymond - We should not be compared to any one of them. They screwed up their lives. They are what make the town we live in. The business talk, alley speaking way. It has been tainted for the new generation.
Carl - It has been tainted all our life. I have some very vivid memories from my childhood. The time of our life, everything seemed to be wrapped up in cotton wool. We didn't have the mentality to see the bad. As we grew we heard the hatred. I didn't know what path to take, all I knew is that I wanted to get out of that town.
Eric - One day I will lie on a beach far away from that town. Sit under a palm tree, herb in one hand and feel stress free.
Raymond - My dreams are ruined, now I am here I'm just like one of them. My hopes and aspirations are crushed. I will start living as a bohemian when we leave. I shall turn my back on the town that made us.
Eric - Fly with us to that strange new land.
Raymond - I will, we are the three wise men, off on our journey to find the King.
Carl - Jesus? I don't really fancy the idea of going to Jerusalem. Somewhere nobody has ever heard of before, we can make up our own town.
Eric - Away from big rats and pollution of the city. An island of our own so we can determine the peace.
Carl - Peace, love and harmony.
Raymond - I rejoice in the company of you two. I have not said this before, but I am grateful for the one thing that town brought me.
Eric and Carl you are my brothers.
The embarrassment I feel sharing this emotion with you is sky high. If they want to live the way they do, then let them be.
Eric - Let who be? Forgive and forget then move on. No more greed you said. Say your piece then leave.
Raymond - Okay what do I say to a town where the kids wonder, whether to plunder the books at school, or be cool cause dads alright, he's no fool.
Hell he drinks all day and beats his wife, because his sons in bed and there's no-one left to fight.
He's arranging for his children to be short changed, it's deranged and who'll get the blame?
That town, but I am not that town.
A town full of small talk and no action, ten thousand empty promises with no interaction.
Stories of success with no reaction, people are lost, left feeling doubled crossed, and tossed in the rubbish trucks, screaming life sucks, with nothing to calm the influx of hate.
Wondering how that place, got into that state?
And who'll be getting the blame?
That town, but I can now say I am definitely not that town.
Eric - Kick the negativity to the curb, it's absurd that you've carried it this long.
Sing it the goodbye, lullaby song and set yourself free, when the people see you will not be alone.
You will be starting on that journey, to that place, taking that step, moving forward and proving to yourself you can make that difference!
The difference you dreamed about, the difference you schemed about, screamed about, the difference you said you'd never make!
Now there is no time for blame…
Because you are not that town.
Carl - You are not that town!
You are not that town!
You are you!
Act 4 - The Great Departure.
All three men are sat in separate areas of the room.
Raymond - You like to dream and I like to dream. The dreams are what keep us going. Why are dreams, dreams? Because they are imaginary, extraordinary and usually so crazy it is never likely to happen…ever!
Carl - All I dream about these days is life outside of here. A different life and escape from here.
Raymond - The outside is a real place.
Carl - Sure, I ride on an elephant through town. Everyone looking happy and cheering that I am back.
Raymond - That is a realistic dream. What I am trying to say is, where our dreams are usually unattainable…the ones we have been talking about for so long are possible.
Maybe not the elephant in town. That strange land, we talk about, but deep down I don't think we ever think it will happen. We are keeping them as crazy dreams that could never happen, but they can, they are realistic dreams.
Eric - I love to dream and I know the difference. I have always said I wanted to leave our town.
I have…not at home here.
Raymond - Great, what a life this is. Good dream is it?
Eric - Yes actually, I'm on the beach having Rum and Coke. I think I'm going fishing soon with Tallest. You can come as well and we shall catch some dinner for tonight.
Carl - Tallest?
Eric - Yea Tallest is his name, although his real name is Aswan. We all call him Tallest now because he is very tall.
Thanks man, you didn't have to.
Raymond - What?
Eric - Don't worry me, my friend here Shaki has just brought me some fruit he picked. Complements the Rum you know?
Carl - Yea I'm sure. Well don't eat too much; you don't want to get cramp in the sea.
Eric - No, I'm a pro man, I know the way of the ocean. The ocean would never let me drown.
I take from the ocean, but I don't give back…
I feel very bad now, I can't just take, take, take.
Here you go. Eric raises his hand and performs a throwing action.
Raymond - What did you throw there?
Eric - An apple I threw in the sea.
Carl - An apple? That's not very exotic. How about pineapple…got any mangoes over there?
Eric - Plenty thank-you very much.
Raymond - Someone's living their dream already.
I can't sit around here any longer. If the fat rat can find a way then we can.
Carl - The fat rat wasn't real.
Raymond - Neither was the elephant, but it exists somewhere out there.
Carl - I think the best way to conquer this would be to think like a rat.
Did you use to watch The Turtles? There was Rat, the character who lived in the sewers.
Raymond - They must fit through tight gaps and they wouldn't mind getting dirty.
Eric - She is very dirty!
Raymond and Carl look at each other and carry on.
Carl - The floor is mucky… and the toilet.
Raymond - Yea, very good.
Carl - I used to play Turtles when I was younger, we could pretend to be Rat instead of Michelangelo, Donatello or any of the others? That way we engage within the mind of the creature.
Raymond - Very well. I grace the floor with my hands and knees. I'm now on all fours, resting on my paws.
Carl - Rats have paws and very sharp claws. Worst of all, they crawl with disease.
Raymond - The Plague is here, a lot of us around, we begin to make people fall to the ground.
Scurrying along we are bound.
Carl - We work our way below human interaction, and meet others that gained satisfaction.
Pause. Raymond stands up.
Raymond - Right, I think that has helped us enough. I found a very tiny gap on the floor over there. I bet a rat could find a home down there.
Pause, Raymond and Carl go to the gap.
Eric - You found the gap then, I was waiting for one of you two to crack and found you both did.
Raymond - Thought you were fishing?
Eric - I was… just got back. The sea was rough but I still managed to catch this.
Eric holds up a real fish.
Carl - Where did that come from?
Eric - I told you, I went in the sea and caught it with my stick.
Look! Eric holds up his stick he caught the fish with.
Raymond - How odd, I haven't seen fresh fish like that in a very long time.
Carl - No, neither have I.
Carl takes the fish.
It smells like a real fish, it feels like a real fish…and it tastes like a real fish.
Raymond - We were rats a minute ago trying to escape. I thought you had changed in a flash for the worst. Tallest and a fruit bowl…turns out we were more in denial than you.
Carl - Did you enjoy watching us crawl around like rats?
Eric - We must keep the peace. When I saw my dream I didn't want to let go, I just kept moving forward. You both did that too. You wanted to get out of the hell hole you were in.
Laughs. Never thought I would see Raymond crawling.
Carl - So that place we were in. We were guilty of hating our town and everything bad that had gone wrong in our lives.
Raymond - My narrow minded ways!
Eric - Don't dwell on it now. Appreciate the beauty that we didn't see before.
Raymond - Open my eyes, hear the sound of the rhythm and the beat.
Eric - Stretch out and quickly jump to my feet.
Carl - First thing you gotta do is look outside.
Raymond - It's not raining open up the window wide.
Eric - As I reach for my toothbrush the scent of BBQ jerk chicken floats through the window and upstairs.
Carl - First bite into that takes away all your cares.
Raymond - Turn up the volume on my Bob Marley cd.
Eric - Herb in one hand on the beach, this is what I need to teach.
Raymond - To the town where I belong…I will write my thoughts and sing along.
Carl - Back home for now to mix with old mates. Let's see what path will be my fate.

Home teams won three of four games on Sunday. But the guys in the white sweaters were in charge again on Monday, winning all three games to give visitors 14 wins in the 22 games played so far. Home teams have won exactly one game in each of the eight series.
Contrast that to the regular season, when home teams were 687-399-144, a winning percentage of .551.
Road teams appear to be on their way to winning more than half of the first-round games for the third year in a row. Home teams haven't been over .500 in the first round since going 24-20 in 2008-09.
Wrong kind of streak -- The Ottawa Senators' 1-0 loss to the Rangers on Monday extended their home playoff skid to seven games -- they haven't won at Scotiabank Place since beating Anaheim in Game 3 of the 2007 Stanley Cup Final. The drought includes Game 4 against Anaheim, a 3-2 loss, as well as two losses to Pittsburgh in 2008 and three more to the Penguins in 2010 before the Game 3 loss to the Rangers.
The Senators are the fifth team in NHL history to lose seven consecutive playoff games at home. They'll try to avoid a record-setting eighth in a row on Wednesday night.
Monday's game was the first home shutout loss in the playoffs for the Senators since they lost 2-0 to Toronto in Game 3 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. It was their first 1-0 home playoff loss since losing in overtime to the Leafs in their 2001 postseason opener.
The Senators are hoping captain Daniel Alfredsson will be back for Game 4 after missing Monday's game with a concussion. It was just the third time in Ottawa's 112 playoff games that Alfredsson has had to sit out; the Senators have lost all three and been outscored 10-3 in those games.
Working hard for the shutout -- Henrik Lundqvist's fourth career playoff shutout was the toughest of his career.
Lundqvist stopped 39 shots on Monday in the Rangers' 1-0 victory at Ottawa in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series -- the most shots he's had to stop in any of his four postseason shutouts. His shutouts have gotten progressively tougher -- he's gone from 21 saves in a 7-0 victory against Atlanta in 2007 to 29 in a 2-0 victory against Pittsburgh a year later to 35 in a 1-0 win against Washington in 2009.
Goalie - NYR
Every 25 years or so -- Monday marked the NHL debut of Chris Kreider, who played for the New York Rangers against Ottawa just nine days after helping Boston College beat Ferris State in the NCAA championship game.
Because BC's season lasted until the final night of the NHL's regular season, the Rangers were unable to give Kreider a chance to get his feet wet before the playoffs. By playing his first NHL game in the postseason, he became the first player to make his NHL debut in the playoffs after winning an NCAA title since 1987, when Tony Hrkac played a key role in North Dakota's championship run before joining the St. Louis Blues for three Stanley Cup games.
Third time's the charm -- There's something about Game 3 that's been bringing out the best in the Boston Bruins during the past couple of years. The Bruins won their seventh consecutive Game 3 on Monday night when they edged the Washington Capitals 4-3 to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series.
The B's have won every Game 3 since dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to Carolina in the third game of their first-round series in 2009, and nine of 10 since losing to Montreal in 2004. Despite the run of success, the Bruins are still 51-55 all-time in the third game of playoff series.
Power surge -- Perhaps the most unexpected number coming from Monday's action is the fact that the St. Louis' power play went 3-for-4 in the Blues' 4-3 win at San Jose in Game 3.
Why so unexpected? Mostly because St. Louis' power play was nothing special during the regular season. In fact, the Blues' 16.7 percentage (45-for-270) was just 19th in the NHL -- and St. Louis didn't score three power-play goals in any of its 82 regular-season games.
The Blues hadn't had three power-play goals in a playoff game since they did it in a 6-0 win at Vancouver on April 10, 2003. Perhaps coincidentally, they had lost eight straight road playoff games since then before winning on Monday.
But St. Louis did have success against the Sharks with the extra man during the regular season. The Blues scored five times in 19 attempts against the NHL's 29th-ranked penalty kill on the way to sweeping the four-game season series.

Beginning in the afternoon, until riot police dispersed the crowd after midnight, the center of the South London district of Brixton apparently became enveloped by partying yesterday. Brixton Buzz has an extensive collection of photos:
A substantial crowd gathered in Windrush Square in Brixton last night on the news that Margaret Thatcher had died. By 6pm there was already a large crowd filling the square. It got a bit silly by the end, and riot police were called in.
