Buck has no regrets despite not making a major impact
|Connecticut's Heather Buck, center, battles for a rebound against Fairleigh Dickinson's Erika Livermore, left, and Erica McKeithan, right, in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Storrs, Conn., Friday, Nov. 25, 2011. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
STORRS — The scene has played out numerous times over the past four years. The UConn women's basketball team will be leading by 40 points in the waning moments of a game, Heather Buck will make a basket and the fans will erupt in excitement.
Coach Geno Auriemma has worried that such applause for a full scholarship player could be demeaning for Buck, the lone Connecticut native on the Huskies' roster. He'd cringe because Buck is such a nice, intelligent kid. He didn't want someone so loyal and dedicated to feel embarrassed.
Not to worry. Buck also has a great perspective on life.
"It is so much fun to hear the building erupt like that," Buck said. "Sometimes it feels a little silly, but I will take it. I don't care. I get excited when I score, too, because I don't score that much."
Today the cheers will come before the game even begins and before Buck takes the opening tip-off for only the second time in her career. Buck, along with seniors Caroline Doty and Kelly Faris, will be honored with Senior Day festivities at their last regular season home game at Gampel Pavilion.
While the 6-foot-3 Buck didn't have the type of career she had hoped to have as a highly regarded recruit out of Stonington, she has no regrets about choosing UConn over a mid-major where she would have played a lot, if not starred.
See BUCK, Page 6C
"I am not the type of person that looks back and regrets. There is no point. You make your decision and then you enjoy it. It is not even making the best of it. That is what you decided, so enjoy it. Live it up and enjoy every minute of it. That is what I've tried to do."
There's been plenty to enjoy. The Huskies have compiled a record of 132-9 over the past four years to date, and have a record of 171-9 with two national championships over the past five seasons that both Doty and Buck have been there.
Buck didn't have the impact she wanted in all those wins because she said she never developed the necessary offensive confidence.
"I am competitive, and there have been many times that I have been really frustrated that I haven't been able to do more," Buck said. "But looking back as a whole, it doesn't affect how I view my whole experience.
"Things didn't go the perfect storybook way that you want them to for me, but I do still have a lot of fun coming out here every day. You have to take what you have and take what you are given and make the best of it. No matter what happens, I will find a way to contribute. I will be as loud, obnoxious and jumping around cheering as anyone can be. My job is to be a good teammate, and if I do that job then, yeah, I'm having a lot of fun."
You would think there wouldn't be a whole lot else to tell about a player who has averaged only 1.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 114 career games, but Buck is different. While her game might not have developed according to plan, she matured into the type of multi-dimensional person the UConn program is proud to embrace.
Buck balances being a great supportive teammate with being a nursing student. She juggles practices and road trips around her clinical work at a local hospital and out in the community. And in her spare time, she volunteered 24 days last summer at the Hole in the Wall Camp for children with serious illnesses.
A lot of understanding professors, healthcare professionals and coaches positioned her to earn her bachelor's degree in nursing in May. Buck's off-court success is a story that will be written in more detail in the coming weeks before her career concludes. But today is about honoring her contributions as a player, and to be sure there is one that stands out clearly.
Her performance against Baylor two years ago is a competitive moment that will resonate not only in her mind but forever within the history of the sport.
With the Huskies trailing by six points with 7:24 to play, Stefanie Dolson became the second Huskies' post player to foul out against Baylor's 6-foot-8 All-America center Brittney Griner. They turned to Buck, and in spectacular fashion she held Griner to two points and one rebound the remainder of the game.
UConn won, 65-64, and kept its consecutive game win streak alive at 80. The Huskies later broke the UCLA men's 88-game win streak and set the Division I record at 90.
More deservingly than ever, cheers of appreciation cascaded down from the stands for Buck.
"There are a lot of things that will stand out, but that is probably one of my proudest individual moments," Buck said. "I don't think of it that way that, 'Oh she didn't have anything for me.' I think of it like, I stepped up to the challenge, and I actually accomplished something."
She's compensated for the lack of other big basketball moments with great friendships and the satisfaction she's been a tremendous teammate.
"I am very happy with my decision," Buck said. "We won two national championships so far while I've been here and played on arguably the best team or couple teams in the history of women's basketball. Who else can say that? That's really cool."

Women's Tennis Lands Seventh Seed at 2013 BIG EAST Championship
Hoyas to take on 10th-seeded Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 18, at 9 a.m.
Panarese Named BIG EAST Player of the Week as Hoyas Earn First-Ever National Ranking
Gordie Ernst just completed his eighth year as the Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at Georgetown University. He has accumulated a total of 132 win between the two programs and had 100+ BIG EAST Academic All-Stars.
In the past five seasons, Ernst has coached five All-BIG EAST performers in Charlie Caris, Lauren Greco, Victoire Saperstein, Andrew Bruhn and Stephanie Wetmore.
Ernst has also coached three student-athletes who accumulated over 100+ wins in each of their respective careers in Andrew Bruhn, Charlie Caris and Victoria Sekely.
Ernst led the women to an overall 11-11 record with a 4-3 mark in BIG EAST play during the 2013-14 season. The women earned the No. 5 seed in the BIG EAST Championships and concluded its schedule with a victory over No. 9 seed Villanova. The Georgetown men's program finished with a 8-13 overall mark including a 5-4 home record.
During the 2012-13, the women's program finished with an overall record of 15-8 which included a 6-2 home record and a 7-2 mark the road. The highlight of the season came with a signature win against nationally-ranked William and Mary. It was the first win over a ranked opponent for the women's tennis program. The Hoyas were also ranked 68 nationally during the season.
In 2011-12, Georgetown women had its best season under Ernst notching a 16-6 record as well as a mark of 5-2 in the BIG EAST Conference. The season prior, the Blue & Gray went 13-10 overall and 7-2 in conference play. The Hoyas placed sixth at the BIG EAST Tournament despite going into the championship as the eighth seed. GU moved into the final match after defeating fourth-seeded Louisville, 4-2, in the consolation bracket.
In the year of 2009-2010, he led the women's squad to an impressive late-season run as the team defeated Seton Hall, Villanova and Connecticut to narrowly miss a BIG EAST Tournament berth. The women also defeated Penn earlier in the year to get the program's first-ever victory over an Ivy League opponent.
On the men's side, the program concluded the 2012-13 year with a 12-9 overall record. The men went undefeated in BIG EAST conference play, 3-0, while accumulating 10 wins to only one loss at home. One of their home wins came at the expense of St. John's, whom they defeated for the first time since 2007.
Since 2002, Ernst has been the executive director of Vineyard Youth Tennis in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, where he coordinated all operational aspects of the newly-constructed four-court tennis facility for 400 junior tennis players ages 3-18. In 2004, Vineyard Youth Tennis was the recipient of the "United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Small Facility of the Year" award.
From 1998 to 2000, Ernst was the Head Men's Tennis Coach at the University of Pennsylvania where the team earned significant wins over Ivy League rivals Brown, Dartmouth and Yale. While in Philadelphia, Ernst coached the Quakers' No. 1 player, Fanda Stejskal, to the NCAA Tournament and helped the No. 2 player, Ryan Harwood, to "Regional Rookie of the Year" honors.
Ernst also instituted the "Friends of PENN Tennis", the program's fund-raising branch.
During the 1997-98 academic year, Ernst was the Assistant Men's Tennis Coach at Northwestern University, helping the Wildcats to a ranking as high as 13 ranking in the national poll. NU also made an appearance in the Big Ten Conference Championship, losing to Illinois in the Big Ten Finals.
Ernst is a 1990 graduate of Brown University, where he was a two-sport standout for the tennis and hockey teams. Despite being a 10th round draft pick of the Minnesota North Stars of the National Hockey League, Ernst chose to stay on the hardcourt and spent almost four years as an ATP Tennis Professional, where he competed in over 15 states and six countries.
In 2000, Ernst was inducted into the Cranston, Rhode Island Athletic Hall of Fame and in 2003 he was inducted into the Rhode Island Interscholastic League Hall of Fame.
Ernst is married to Lisa, his wife of 14 years and the couple has two daughters, Olivia (12) and Phoebe (10). They reside in Chevy Chase, Md.

Corporate Criminal Liability: When Does It Make Sense?
Bucy, Pamela H., American Criminal Law Review
This Article suggests three points. First, that extending criminal liability to fictional entities (1) is a good idea. Second, the current standard in American law for holding fictional entities criminally liable is flawed. Third, that adding an affirmative defense to the current standard for corporate criminal liability would repair the deficiencies in the current standard. Part I of this Article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of prosecuting fictional entities. Part II addresses the current standard for corporate criminal liability and explains why it is deficient. Part III proposes a new standard for extending criminal liability and explains how it remedies the problems posed by the current standard.
A. Reasons to Prosecute Corporations
There are two reasons why criminal liability should extend to corporations. First, corporations often engage in activity that harm lots of people. Mislabeling drugs, shipping contaminated food, dumping pollutants into waterways, and falsifying financial data are a few obvious examples. Any societal actor that engages in such wide-ranging and potentially harmful activities should be subject to criminal prosecution since it is the most potent regulatory mechanism society possesses.
Second, because of their organizational structure, corporations pose unique opportunities for unlawful behavior to occur. For this reason, organizations are more difficult to control than individuals acting alone. There are two characteristics of organizations that help incubate criminal activity. The first is that group dynamics can cause individuals to suspend their own judgment and disregard their usual sense of caution. (2) Because of the pressure to hold on to a job, or please the boss and coworkers, the workplace presents especially strong temptations to "go along." Second, the diffuse nature of organizations creates conditions where violations of the law can occur, and continue undetected. When individuals are responsible for only their duties and do not have a full picture of corporate activities, it becomes difficult for even the most honorable to see that something is amiss. (3)
Because of these two policy reasons, it makes sense to prosecute corporations. In addition, there are three facts about fictional entities that make criminal prosecution a tempting tool of social control. These facts are not justifications for prosecuting fictional entities and should not be mistaken for such; they are, however, benefits of such prosecutions.
The first fact about prosecuting fictional entities is that corporate actors are highly deterable. (4) For this reason, criminal liability, or the threat of it, is an extremely efficient regulatory mechanism. Individuals who run corporations are trained to assess the benefits and costs of potential corporate actions and to choose the option they believe will bestow the greatest benefit for the least cost. This applies to criminal activity as well as to any other business decision. Thus, unlike most criminal defendants who are not deterable because they commit crimes without weighing the cost of doing so (i.e. they act in the heat of passion or under the influence of chemical substances, for example), corporate actors are highly deterable. Most corporate leaders make decisions based, in part, upon their best assessment of whether they (or their company) might be prosecuted if their company undertakes certain actions.
The second fact about prosecuting corporations is that it is easier to prosecute them than it is to prosecute individuals. Piercing the corporate veil to identify who within an organization directed criminal activity or possessed the necessary intent to commit a crime is difficult, if not impossible. By comparison, prosecuting a fictional entity, certainly under the current standard for corporate criminal liability in American law, is easy. …

Volume 133, Number 1 (Whole Number 529), Spring 2012

The relationship between poetically mediated myth and the emerging discipline of formal rhetoric in fifth- and fourth-century Athens has received little scholarly treatment, in part because of a paucity of texts that encompass both myth and formal rhetoric. This article sheds light on the relationship by examining four generically hybrid model speeches: Gorgias' Defense of Palamedes, Antisthenes' Ajax and Odysseus, and Alcidamas' Odysseus. I argue that these speeches represent a rare confluence of the Archaic poetic tradition with the inclination towards technique-based modes of discourse among the sophists. This innovative didactic strategy, whereby rhetoric appropriates the appeal of poetic storytelling and characterization, has affinities with a broader societal and literary trend toward mixing genres.

British actor Nick Moran is frustrated he is best known for possessing an arrogant streak.
Moran found fame in director Guy Ritchie's 1998 smash LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, but is convinced most people only think of him as an egocentric.
The 35-year-old says, "I've always been a bit of a big-head.
"I made exactly the same crude and cocky comments after Lock Stock as I did before it came out.
"It was just this time people were listening.
"You can be acquiescent and charming to a thousand people, but be rude to just one and that's all anyone hears."

Q & A⌃ Back to top
Product Questions:
Is this applied over decking boards or do you put it over silica grate? Or is it installed like the silica grate system just over the deck framing?
Can these tiles be used in small dirt areas where grass won't grow?
dwill real grass or weeds grow thru the tiles??
What if I want to put this down in a room in the house? Is it possible to cut these tiles if the 1' tiles do not fit perfectly? How would you recommend dealing with this? Does this come with any time of edge that can be connected to achieve a clean straight side rather than the plastic connectors showing? Or do you sell smaller width tiles to use if the 1' tiles are too large?
Can the tiles be cut?
The temperatures here in the summer are 100* F to 120*F. How will this product hold up under extreme temps?
Customer Rating:
The artificial turf tiles install really easily. The nap is a little thin and that was disappointing, also the little green tabs that hold it in place on the backing fall out easily. In the end the installation looks good and I just hope it stands the test of time.
Philadelphia, PA
Customer Rating:
This is a great looking product that is very comfortable to walk and sit on. Very easy to install as well. Only issue is that the grass is attached to the matt in a very poor manner, and the edges of the grass continue to come off the raised tiles that it is attached to. I also can see the tile lines, but hopefully, that will go away with continued use and normal wear and tear.

Aliens: Mondo Heat is a one-shot comic book that was first published by Dark Horse Comics in February 1996. It was written by Henry Gilroy, illustrated by Ronnie del Carmen, lettered by Steve Dutro, colored by Pamela Rambo and edited by Bob Cooper, with cover art by del Carmen.
Aliens: Mondo Heat is a sequel to 1995's Aliens: Mondo Pest and is one of three stories to feature the Xenomorph -killing mercenary Herk Mondo (the first being issue #6 of Aliens: Colonial Marines (1993 series)).
In the Aliens comics line, Aliens: Mondo Heat was preceded by Aliens: Incubation and was followed by Aliens: Lucky.
Publisher's SummaryEdit
When you've got a major infestation of Aliens, and the Colonial Marines are nowhere in sight, you won't find a better "exterminator" than Herk Mondo. But Herk's got a couple of big problems: he's completely unarmed in the middle of the infestation, and he's got an active volcano ready to blow beneath his feet! You can be sure of one thing, though — the volcano may blow, but Herk'll keep his cool.
Reprint HistoryEdit
Aliens: Mondo Heat was eventually collected as part of Aliens Omnibus: Volume 4 in July 2008.
The comic was released digitally through Dark Horse Digital on May 15, 2013, reusing del Carmen's cover art.
Behind the ScenesEdit
Interestingly when Herk Mondo makes his first somewhat random cameo appearance in Colonial Marines #6, he is already apparently a galaxy-renown bug hunter, as the Marines already know him by reputation and are in awe of him.
Mondo Pest and Mondo Heat writer Henry Gilroy would go on to write some stories for Dark Horse's Star Wars line, and eventually become main writer/story editor for Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which position he still holds.
The Mondo stories are rarities in the Aliens universe in that they are clearly action/comedy stories with a slightly cartoony and sexy sensibility thrown in with the typical Aliens horror motif.
As Dark Horse drastically reduced its Aliens output in 1995-1996, the offbeat character of Mondo could arguably be called the "lead" character of the franchise in those years as he was the only recurring character appearing in Aliens comics at the time — even if it only was in two stories.

The software does create working shortened links. But I would like to be able to send these links to twitter automatically, or at least include them in the footer of my post. Is there anyway to do that?
I would like to know if anyone else is getting a blank page in the settings? I have posted about this at the GentleSource.com forums and Ralf says that it works for him?
Maybe a plugin is conflicting with it?

Today I spent the whole day at the Minnesota State Fair.
In the morning I volunteered for Mn/DOT booth in the Education Building, greeting visitors and handing out maps and fans, our two most popular items. This is the third year I have worked at the booth.
In the afternoon I visited the Fair with my kids. We went to see the displays of their winning art works and poems in the Education Building. I took some pictures.
We walked a lot. At the end of the day, we were tired.
As for the State Fair food, my kids had a hot dog, root beer floats, snow cones. I wasn't interested in the junk food. I had fruits and veggies from home.

As far back as I can remember,all our Parakeets have had one of these in their cages at one time or another.The price for these are minimim,and the fun ,long lasting for the birds.I can remember plenty of night,my kids and I watching the Keets push them around.They'd get really excited when they'd hear those Bells start to roll and jingle.Although plastic,they have a pretty good life span.Cleaning them was pretty easy.The most that I ever had to do was to soak it in a little bit of hot water.
A fun toy for the Keets!

i had a keet once that would spin it all day and it did make a little noise. i just learned to tune it out. she was either having the time of her life or getting rid of energy. but since she was out a good part of the day so i think she was just having fun or trying to annoy me
Pros: fun

so cool!
i mean like lets wear helmets but no body armour but i guess it doesn't do any favors for the storm troopers.
haha ... worst helmets in movie history
great job as always!
great job as always!
look its the security force on leias ship just before vader and his storm troopers slaughtered them.
Considering how that guy in the back is looking down the barrel of his blaster it's really no surprise
odds are thats how one would check the barrel of that weapon for obstructions kind of like with an ak74
True, but I'd still use a mirror or something.
ever tried looking down a tube using a mirror? its extremely hard to see anything clearly without direct line of sight especially when dealing with the lans and grooves of a barrel. oh and have you seen the starwars blooper reel? i never figured the blasters were actually functional and fired blanks. i always thought they were just useless props that they added the sound effects onto later.
I feel like those helmets are given them just for the sake of having something on their head.
Truly amazing work...
I take it the bloke at the back forgot about the use of blaster weapons
Hahaha. The one in the back looks pretty new to me.
i would love to see an imperial army trooper card in this new card game!
who's the dumbass that forgot weapon discipline in the background?
its nice. who's design is the helmets? its looks like it was design for maybe robots. ohh does it protect their head plus their back from falling debree?
i will never undestand star wars uniforms and armors...they got unlimited technology power but wear tshirts and msot fragile armor in any battle
I think it came from the original movie production where they had quite a limited budget.
stormtroops got one of most awesome armors all the movie history and even they are suposed to be protected same as naked guys:/ it must be purpose not cause budget...i guess)
I like the rebel in the back looking down the barrel of the blaster xD
AHAHAHA that guy, in the back -collapses on the ground- did not pass his training program lmfao
guy: oh, what's down here... -looks down barrel of gun-
gun: oh not much, just a lazer! -zaps-
guy: @.@ HO DAMN MY FACE IS GONE!
Oh c'mon guys...
"Do NOT look into the operational end of the device!"
"This is the trigger, this is the selector, and this is the end you point at whatever you want to die."
"This is the trigger, this is the selector, and this is the end you point at whatever you want to die."
Very nice.
oh man the guy in the back
Great piece dude
ha i like how the last guy is looking down the baster barrel.
I always liked those helmets....
i like how you made Will Ferrell a leader of this rebel squad
Why didn't they grab those blaster rifles on the walls, huh? I think they overstated the Stormtrooper's special innate ability to miss the side of a barn at point blank range.
i think maybe because these are actual diplomats (old ones as well) that obviously have no clue how to use a gun. see the guy in the background inspecting the barrel? the guy in the middle looks like he's going to say to the front guy: "hey, stop, you have no clue how to use a blaster..."
As much as second from left doesn't have his finger in the trigger, it's still bad gun discipline. But then again, didn't the Rebels have to get weapons and things wherever they could?
that you know Star wars is already a suprise but that its looks so realy is just amazing i realy love it
*back left* "What does this do? *gun discharges* xD
grate work also this one
Great work, man!
I agree he does look like Kiefer Sutherland lol!
Great work on this Agni!
Great work on this Agni!

Best English Pub (2011)
Rose and Crown
Rose and Crown offers all the ambiance of an English pub without shelling out for a ticket to fly over the pond. The historic former house adds instant atmosphere for your evening out on the town, be it a drink before dining at Pizzeria Bianco, a bite after visiting the Arizona Science Center, or just because it's Wednesday. There's also plenty of outside seating for the seven months out of the year that Arizona has nigh-on perfect weather. The grub is solid enough to lay the groundwork for a good evening, and both American offerings and British fare play nice on the menu. We recommend the bangers and mash or fish and chips. Add an imperial pint of Guinness or Boddingtons and you'll soon be shouting, "God save the Queen!"

Welcome to our weekly edition of Penn Quarter Sports Tavern's 6-Pack of Questions, where we aim to keep it real while answering your most pressing questions regarding the Washington Capitals.
Let's get started.
@martirosofff Any hopes/rumors about GMGM losing his job?
Here's what we know: George McPhee has been the Caps' general manager for 17 years and, unless they did it very, very quietly, the Caps have not renewed him for next season. Ted Leonsis said in a blog post on Thursday that he wants to conduct a "comprehensive review" of what happened this season. In my opinion, that doesn't sound like a vote of confidence for the general manager. It was clear all season that the Caps had defensive deficiencies that went unaddressed, with 14 different blue liners suiting up, four of them for the first time in the NHL. At last month's general managers' meetings, McPhee was asked about his future and he quipped, "The hockey gods will get you if you worry about your next job while you've got one." Leonsis needs to decide if the Caps need a complete culture change. That could come by overhauling the roster, hiring a new coach, hiring a new general manager, or all three. This is only my opinion, but it is entirely possible this becomes a mutual breakup, with McPhee electing to take his career in another direction. Either way, it will be a fascinating next few weeks.
@OV3CHK1NG If Caps were willing to blow up the core, which of Ovi, Backy and Green is most likely to get dealt?
Nothing like being direct. Alex Ovechkin has seven years and $70 million remaining on his contract [he's getting a raise from $9 million to $10 million next season] and beginning July 1 he can give the Capitals a list of 10 teams for whom he will not play. I don't see the Capitals shipping Ovechkin out of town, although I do think he holds more value now than he will in his future. That said, I don't see Caps owner Ted Leonsis allowing his general manager to trade the greatest goal scorer in franchise history, even if he will be getting paid $10 million at the age of 35. Same goes for Nicklas Backstrom, who in my opinion is just as valuable as Ovechkin. Backstrom has six years and $43 million remaining on his contract. That leaves us with Mike Green, who has one year and $6.083 million remaining on his three-year deal. Of the three, I think Green is the most likely to be wearing another team's jersey next season.
@AloeCap10 Who do you see as offseason free agent targets for the #Caps? And please tell me at least one is a gritty top4 dman.
We agree on this. The Caps need a gritty top 4 defenseman. The question I have is this: Do you add someone like gritty but aging defenseman Brooks Orpik, a 33-year-old veteran who will be unrestricted on July 1, and pair him with Mike Green? Or do you use Green in a potential package to land an even better defenseman who has one more year remaining on his contract? I have to believe that if George McPhee could have acquired a top-notch defenseman at some point last summer or this season he would have pulled the trigger. Looking ahead, unless you really like 35-year-old blue liner Andrei Markov, there is no stud defenseman on the free-agent market this summer. Maybe Andrew MacDonald? Matt Niskanen? To get anyone like Shea Weber, the Caps would need to get really creative.
@wvufish Why do you think there is such a clear lack of communication between [Adam] Oates and GmGm?
Since I don't know what goes on behind closed doors I can't assume that's true. NHL general managers and coaches talk on a daily basis and I'm sure there is a clear line of communication between the two. That does not mean McPhee and Oates agree on how players are used, which is often the case among coaches and GMs. McPhee acquired Marty Erat last season as a top-six forward, but Erat began this season in the bottom six and almost immediately asked to be traded. It's also my opinion that McPhee wanted to see defenseman Dmitry Orlov in the lineup earlier this season and Oates thought he needed to improve his defensive play before getting into the lineup, resulting in a long trial and error of other defensemen on the Caps' blue line. And when Dustin Penner was added to the roster at the trade deadline, it wasn't long before he found himself unhappy on a fourth line. That's not necessarily a lack of communication, but could indicate a difference of opinion on how players should be used.
@ChrizR Any news on Grabo resigning?
Along with Dustin Penner, Jaroslav Halak, Julien Brouillette and Tyson Strachan, center Mikhail Grabovski is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. I've been told he's seeking $5 million a season and if he doesn't get that from the Capitals he'll try getting it somewhere else. If Grabovski had not missed 24 games with a left ankle sprain the Caps would have had a better chance at making the playoffs and he might have had a better chance of staying in Washington. In 56 games he has 13 goals and 22 assists. Over a full 82-game season that would equate to 19 goals and 32 assists. I'm not sure any team would pay $5 million for a 19-goal scorer, but if the Caps can re-sign him in the $4 million range they might consider it. The Caps also need to look at how they view forward Evgeny Kuznetsov. Is he a left wing, right wing or center? That could depend on who's coaching the team next season. And what about guys like Andre Burakovsky and Riley Barber? Are they ready to make the jump to the NHL? If so, Grabovski may not fit into the Caps' long-term plans.
@john_worldflyer I wonder if [Jaroslav] Halak expected [Adam] Oates to just say he was "under the weather." I'm glad Oates called him out.
This was one of the strangest "he said, he said, he said" stories I've ever covered. See if you can follow along. On Monday Halak told us he had a "mix of emotions" about playing the team [St. louis] that traded him to Buffalo for a goalie [Ryan Miller] they thought gave them a better chance to win the Stanley Cup. Maybe it was a poor assumption on our part, but we all thought Halak wanted to face the Blues. On Tuesday, Oates announced he was starting Braden Holtby and said Halak wasn't "a hundred percent comfortable" facing his old team and "we can't afford that." On Wednesday, Halak's agent, Allan Walsh, jumped to his client's defense, saying that Oates misrepresented Halak's feelings and betrayed the trust between player and coach by making a private conversation public. And on Thursday Oates said he's always been honest with reporters and was telling the truth in this case. By then, Halak was tired of the whole thing and refused comment. Since Holtby has played well and won each of the Caps' two games since the Goalie-gate, it's a safe assumption he'll play the Caps' final two home games. But the way this season has gone, nothing is a safe bet.

HP today announced expanded recycling solutions that will help EMEA customers reduce the environmental impact of their printing and benefit from the quality of Original HP printing supplies.
As an industry leader in the movement towards more sustainable printing, HP is continuously working with manufacturers, retailers and non-governmental organisation (NGO) partners to create solutions with reduced environmental impact — from the design and manufacture of products through to their use and end-of-life recycling.
"We are keen to provide recycling options for our customers in the Middle East to address sustainability issues and cater their needs," said Kees Verton, Manager Printing categories, HP Middle East. "HP offers unique solutions for recycling that reaffirms our commitment to customer success."
Expanded recycling options for customers:
The company's industry-leading recycling programme called HP Planet Partners [2] lets customers recycle used Original HP cartridges as part of a "closed loop" plastics recycling process. To date, customers worldwide have recycled more than half a billion HP ink and LaserJet toner cartridges with HP Planet Partners.(1)
HP Planet Partners is free and available to customers across 34 countries in EMEA. It is simple to use, beginning either with a visit to www.hp.com/recycle [3] or an HP Authorised Retail Collection location.
Through this and other efforts, HP aims to recycle 3.5 billion pounds (1,600,000 metric tons) of electronic products and supplies by the end of 2015.
Measuring recycling results by the billions:
HP's groundbreaking "closed loop" plastics recycling process uses plastic from recycled cartridges and other post-consumer sources to create new Original HP cartridges. To date, HP has recycled 1.71 billion pounds (776,000 metric tons) of electronics and Original HP print cartridges around the world. HP has also kept 280 million cartridges(1) and more than 2 billion post-consumer plastic bottles out of landfill.
When compared to new (or virgin) plastic, the recycled plastic used in HP ink cartridges since 2010 has up to an estimated 33 percent smaller carbon footprint — even when the impacts associated with collecting, transporting and processing are taken into account. Using recycled plastics is also estimated to reduce total water used in cartridge production by up to 89 per cent.(2)
As the world's largest provider of information technology (IT) infrastructure, software, services and solutions, HP is in a unique position to respond to the challenge of reducing energy use and waste. The company sees unprecedented opportunities to transform the way the world lives and works through increasingly sustainable products and solutions that help its customers thrive.

Ollie died of natural causes March 28, 2012, in St. Louis, his lifelong home, just seven weeks shy of his 100th birthday.
Coming to Princeton from St. Paul's School, he majored in philosophy, lettered in squash, belonged to a number of clubs, and took his meals at Cap and Gown. He roomed senior year with Jimmy Pyle and Anderson Fowler.
His 70-year business career was spent largely with A.G. Edwards & Sons (now Wells Fargo Securities), where he rose to senior vice president of investments for Wells Fargo. He went to the office almost every day right up to his death. He is quoted as saying, "I love studying the market, being around people, and making money for my clients. This is where I get my jollies."
The list of St. Louis philanthropic organizations Ollie served, led, and supported is long and distinguished, including the Children's Hospital, the art museum, the YMCA, Washington University, and many others. The son of a Princeton trustee (Harry Hill Langenberg 1900), he was devoted to the University and was class president at the time of his death.
Ollie is survived by his wife, Mary; son Peter '72; daughter Alice Abrams; stepson William Polk; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

This week, in pressing Congress for urgent action to change the law, both Defense Secretary Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, once again raised the canard that Section 654 must be repealed immediately because it "forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens." In fact, current law does no such thing. The law simply says that those who commit certain acts should not be permitted to join the armed forces. It's not about "who they are." It's about what they do.
Apparently unmoved by the concern expressed by well over half of our soldiers, sailors and Marines deployed in war zones, Gates and Mullen now argue that Congress must repeal the law immediately or the courts will intervene. That, too, is a phony argument. Section 654 has withstood more than a dozen legal challenges since it has been on the books. The case now pending in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is but the most recent test. The Obama administration's "legal eagles" need only dust off old files going back to the Clinton administration to see how the law has been upheld in the past.
Obama's push to have the law repealed by this lame-duck session of Congress has been seconded by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. But the full-court press may yet produce the political equivalent of an elbow in the face for the O-Team.
In his testimony Dec. 2, while urging the Senate Armed Services Committee to act immediately on changing the law, Mullen told the solons that service in the military is a "meritocracy" based on "what you do, not who you are." That, of course, is the very argument many of us have been making against allowing active homosexuals into the ranks.
Concerns about repeal -- on readiness, retention and recruitment in the brightest, best-educated and most combat-experienced military force in history -- are not assuaged by the report. Nearly 25 percent of those now serving -- and as many as 32 percent of Marines -- said they are likely to leave the service rather than be assigned to live with and serve beside active homosexuals.
This potential attrition -- while more than 150,000 troops are serving in harm's way -- hasn't diminished the O-Team's zeal for repeal. When Sen. John McCain confronted Mullen with this consequence from allowing homosexuals into the military, the admiral replied, "We'll deal with that." Gates, ever sympathetic to the needs of our troops, observed, "They can't just up and leave."
No, they can't. But when they come home, they can vote with their feet. Is wrecking the world's finest military the price we have to pay for a campaign promise? Only this lame-duck Congress knows the answer.

U.S. CommunitiesTM Government Purchasing Alliance is the leading national government purchasing cooperative that reduces the cost of goods and services by aggregating the purchasing power of public agencies nationwide. U.S. Communities provides participants with access to a broad line of competitively solicited contracts with national suppliers that have committed to providing their lowest overall public agency pricing. Each month more than 500 new public agencies register to participate. This continuing rapid growth is fueled by the program's proven track record of providing public agencies unparalleled value and the best government pricing available.
The program offers:
There's no getting around it. To properly serve students and staff, schools need a lot of "stuff." From athletic and playground equipment to food products, and from janitorial, flooring, and other supplies to office equipment and beyond, there are countless needs. Acquiring each one takes time and effort. Luckily, U.S. Communities—which was founded in part by ASBO International—is on hand to help.
What do they do and how do they do it? U.S. Communities program manager Jennifer Sulentic sums it up well. It is the leading national government purchasing cooperative that reduces the cost of goods and services by aggregating the purchasing power of public agencies across the entire country. By doing so, they can provide competitively priced procurement resources (contracts) and solutions to many different entities, including K–12 school districts.
U.S. Communities stands out from other cooperatives for several reasons, including its rigorous supplier commitments that ensure the best overall value. "Our supplier partners commit their absolute best value through U. S. Communities," Jennifer says. "This means you won't find a better value with the same company through another cooperative or negotiate better pricing through your own request for proposal (RFP)."
In addition, an advisory board of trusted procurement professionals provides oversight and overall direction for the cooperative. "We don't do any bids or hold any contracts," Jennifer adds. "They are all held by a public entity—people subject to the same procurement laws—and that means credibility."
Jennifer has been with U.S. Communities for five years, and she loves being a liaison between public entities and supplier partners. "Whether it's a school district or an entire city, my role is the same—to assist, answer questions, and connect public entities to supplier partners who have solutions that can also save them time and money," she says.
Needs can be expected or emergent—either way, Jennifer says, "We're here to help." For example, she recalls a district that needed to replace school roofs before the start of the new school year. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a "consultant," the superintendent suggested taking advantage of the district's registration with U.S. Communities, and from there, Jennifer stepped in to connect the district with the awarded roofing supplier. The contract for materials and related services was competitively bid by a lead public agency, needs were assessed for free, a local installer was utilized, and the roof installation was completed efficiently and transparently.
Jennifer says the nonprofit is always looking for new ways to support schools and school business officials, so it was a natural decision for U.S. Communities to sponsor ASBO International's Emerging School Business Leaders Scholarship. "It's great to help schools in ways other than cooperative contracting," Jennifer says. "For me, this is fun. Quite often I hear customers say, 'Wow! I didn't know this program could make my life so much easier!' It's a wonderful feeling."

All your dishes have been over priced!
My family and i came in for lunch, we were shocked how you have pushed your meal prices too the extent where we had to order 1 main dish and 2 drinks!
Please re consider your menu prices.
Your menu dishes have also changed and your chefs...
Delicious Asian food with a blend of Chinese and Japanese style. The restaurant is very noisy as its crowded most of the times and we had to share a table/bench with another group of people.
Also, there can be a long wait on weekend dinner, lunch times. But The food totally justifies the long wait. The staff is also very...
Err... while I try to be open minded bout trying new things, I have to say the food here is just pedestrian. You can get the same thing at a food court if not better (see my Gumshara review for ramen fix).
Found out from a friend they are part of a chain of restaurant world wide but I have...
I love wagamama. It's my go to for quick dinner or lunch with friends in the UK but this was a particularly bad experience. I ordered takeout and was given a sticky, dirty menu - strike 1. Then there was nowhere to wait and the staff behaved as if I was in the way - strike 2. The portion size...
This Wagamama restaurant is located right near Sydney town hall. The food is consistently good and the service too is good.
It's not a cheap meal but the portions are big and the food tastes great.
Wagamamas seem to be in short supply in Sydney. Bridge St one disappeared???
Anyway for fans of this brand head to 500 George St in the Galleria level 1
Great Ramen Soup. We had the Teriyaki Salmon and Pork Belly varieties - both delivered quickly and fresh
Washed down with a couple of Asahi Beers and everything is good
This is the second time I have been to Wagamama, the first quite a few years ago. There is lots to choose from on the menu ranging from noodles to ramen to meat and rice dishes. I think though for what you are getting it is overpriced. I ordered noodles with pork, prawns and a variety of vegetables and although...
I tried out this restaurant with my partner for the first time after walking past the shop several times. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was nice. However, it was small portioned for the price tag.
Our group of 8 walked in here Saturday night & had a lovely meal. Good value & very quick service. Great location for a cheap city dinner.

CPageSetupDialog Class
Encapsulates the services provided by the Windows common OLE Page Setup dialog box with additional support for setting and modifying print margins.
This class is designed to take the place of the Print Setup dialog box.
To use a CPageSetupDialog object, first create the object using the CPageSetupDialog constructor. Once the dialog box has been constructed, you can set or modify any values in the m_psd data member to initialize the values of the dialog box's controls. The m_psd structure is of type PAGESETUPDLG.
After initializing the dialog box controls, call the DoModal member function to display the dialog box and allow the user to select print options. DoModal returns whether the user selected the OK (IDOK) or Cancel (IDCANCEL) button.
If DoModal returns IDOK, you can use several of CPageSetupDialog's member functions, or access the m_psd data member, to retrieve information input by the user.
After the common OLE Page Setup dialog box is dismissed, any changes made by the user will not be saved by the framework. It is up to the application itself to save any values from this dialog box to a permanent location, such as member of the application's document or application class.
