The front page of Sunday's Boston Globe had two articles (of a total of five on the front page) about efforts to improve social outcomes by gathering evidence about what works and what doesn't. The top article on the front page was headlined "Hospitals size up the lessons of Marathon attacks." Trauma care for Marathon bombing victims was, on the whole, magnificent – not a single person who arrived in an emergency room alive died in the hospital – but nonetheless the receiving hospitals are now in the process of after-action reviews looking through the details of what happened, which will produce reports that will be shared with hospitals around the country.
At this point, it looks like the main recommendations will involve quicker use of social media as an early warning system (perhaps by the police), improvements in how off-duty employees who simply show up to help can be better deployed, and improvements in the process for identifying victims who arrive at the hospital with no ID.
There was also an article on the front page called "Dartmouth tackles binge drinking culture," about efforts at the college in an isolated New Hampshire town with freezing winters to reduce the binge drinking that made the school the inspiration for the movie "Animal House." The basic method they are using is to try a lot of small changes – various kinds of meetings with at-risk students, for example -- and track results to see what works and what doesn't. Some of the ideas stem from tactics that former Dartmouth President Jim Young Kim, a public health expert who is now head of the World Bank, had seen show promise in slowing the spread of AIDS or tuberculosis in developing countries. In the last two years, the number of students admitted to local hospitals with alcohol overdoses has declined from 80 to 31.
"Evidence" in government was once limited to partisan-sponsored studies that coincidentally supported the preferred conclusions of the interest group sponsoring them, or very lengthy and expensive randomized controlled trials to determine the impact of various government programs. In recent years, the range of techniques available to gather evidence has dramatically expanded to include quick experiments about practical short-term interventions, or even less rigorous but still potentially helpful methods of gathering evidence (such as benchmarking across different government offices). The arrival of more social psychologists, trained in experimental methods, into public policy and administration programs – and even government organizations such as the Behavioral Insight Unit in the UK government – means that this approach will become more and more the future.
As these articles suggest, this approach is becoming common in efforts to deal with social problems outside government. Sure beats a lot of the other alternative approaches for deciding on policy and management approaches. This needs to become a normal part of the toolkit for public policy and management.

There is a "born yesterday" quality to current-day discussions of "evidence-based" program decisions (cf. Stigler's Law). At least since the Johnson Administration, social science investigators (I knew of Abt Associates, but surely other analytical groups) were engaged. These evaluations may not have met the standard of randomized double-blind studies (also, not a 21st century invention), but they were far from seat-of-the-pants affairs. Cost-benefit analyses, which have been used for decades, ideally are also grounded in evidence. In science & engineering contracting it has been common (given adequate funding) to support two or three approaches in a Phase 1, and then "downselect" to the most promising approach.
I don't argue that nothing is new under the sun, only that a little less breast-beating, a little more, humility, and less implied denigration of rank-and-file government analysts is in order.
I get the impression that most "evidence-based" programs will not be financial big-ticket items (perhaps the total of health care studies will be a major exception). The multibillion dollar busts I know of were "sold" using "evidence," but the "evidence" was incomplete or not as strong as program advocates and potential contractor organizations claimed (see article on the border security fence in the August issue of National Security magazine for a recent example). If "evidence-based" decision-making is to have real impact, to be more than a fad that's applied to budgetary small-bore programs, it must be courageously and rigorously applied to complex big-ticket items.
Al, I don't know the evidence well enough -- my understanding is that there is such variance in programs that go under the name "Head Start" that the evidence is some kinds work, and some don't -- but yes, let me suggest the revolutionary point that if we are pretty sure an intervention doesn't work, we should stop spending money on it.
Does this mean we should cancel Head Start? I don't think evidence and results are *always* the point . ..

Members of the Hoboken St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee have opted to cancel the annual festivities, after the city made the "insulting" decision to move the event to a weekday saying, "the idea of marching in a parade, in the dark, on a week night, is as insulting as it is unreasonable".
The committee announced the cancellation of what would have been the parade's 26th year on its website:
The Hoboken St. Patrick's Parade Committee met earlier this week to discuss what would have been our 26th annual parade. After a long, arduous and sad meeting, the committee has decided to cancel the 2012 Hoboken St. Patrick's Parade. The City of Hoboken's inability to protect our spectators, bands and participants led us to this heartbreaking decision," adding that "for those who were not here in the beginning, or think that 26 years is not long enough of a tradition, we remind all that the parade was a strong catalyst in the revitalization of the Hoboken we love so dearly today.

Hershey Kisses make these adorable acorn treats a special snack for the entire family. I saw this in a promotional flyer for Hershey Kisses at the commissary and knew I had to share these with you! I lived and worked in Hershey, PA for many years, so I love to make anything with Hershey Kisses. And yes, the town's street lights were really shaped like Hershey Kisses!
What you need:
- Hershey Kisses
- Mini Vanilla Wafers
- Butterscotch Morsels
- Frosting or Icing
Use the frosting as glue to attach the Hershey Kiss to the mini Vanilla Wafer. Then attach the butterscotch morsel on top.
And there you have it – adorable acorn treats that are a fun fall treat for the family!
Wouldn't these be fun for you to make at home?
Love, hugs, and enjoying a-corny treat!

Yup. Back when I had an event Regigigas in Platinum for the first time, I decided to use only Premier Balls on the trio. This was expensive and therefore limiting in that I could only get around 50 before I lost patience. Ran out multiple times on Regirock.
More recently, I scaled Sky Pillar, catching a couple of pokémon along the way, only to find I only had a Master Ball left, and I'd saved, so I didn't fancy re-doing it all over again. Now I've got the problem of trying to hunt Latios without it whilst hoping to get lucky on the lotto.

A man serving a life sentence for first degree sexual offense and kidnapping was killed Monday morning after he was backed over by a tractor.
It happened just before 8:00 a.m. at the Caledonia Prison Farm in Tillery, that's in Halifax County.
The Department of Correction says Woody Chavis was airlifted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where he died at 11:15 a.m.
Authorities say Chavis and another inmate were trying to hitch a trailer onto a farm tractor when he was accidentally run over.
The Halifax County Sheriff's Office is reviewing the death, but no foul play is suspected.
Chavis was convicted in 1986 from Robeson County.

first of all, i dont know what this has something to do with Phönix Wrong.
(i only see the style with the short random clips was Phönix Wrong like)
in my eyes the only funny thing was this with the weather.
the part when those both guys are spinnig arround in an non-ending room was in my eye's a bit TOOOOOO LARGE, and i dont know what this should be.
the farting joke was ... stupid.
in fact, i dont like this movie, and it shouldn't been in the Phönix Wrong Collection, because i dont see the connection.
(i only see the style with the short random clips was Phönix Wrong like)
Well, I could've made another movie with Phoenix Wright sprites... but do you know how boring those are to work with? Kinda dull. I wanted to do something with more... motion.
It's basically Phoenix Wrong with more going on.
This cool specially went your high
I saw this in both ways went is was high on weed and crack and went i wasn't high i can saw they are both funny in any vision were funny so i give a 10
I don't do drugs, and I enjoyed making this! You get a 10.
I'm confused, but i like it...
I'm not sure if this is considered modern art, cause even though i haven't the slightest clue whats going on, i still kinda like it. My one gripe is the lack of audio clip credits, now i have to use the internet to find some clips.
Sorry, I had some... issues to work out while making this. You can pretty much read what I said to the other reviews of this movie to see where all the audio is from.
it was ok
It was ok not the best so i rated it an 8 for it being ok.
I have'nt seen any thing this funny in a while keep it up!
I'm lacking the motivation to finish anything else... maybe.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Yes, after rewatching some AG I definitely agree that, aside from nostalgia, it can be difficult to watch since it was catered to a pretty young audience. I just started watching Best Wishes and I find it to be a little more mature with Team Rocket and just more traditional anime features (Oshawott's facial expressions, etc). Still fun though, and the movies definitely haven't lost their charm. Plus, I forgot just how awesome the season 7 opening was.

Definitely! As much as BW has evolved, I really miss the chemistry between Max and May compared to Cilan/Bianca/Iris. The latter three really just seem to individually respond to Ash/focal points of the episode, whereas May and Max really had their own conversations and storylines.

Japan travel warnings upgraded; call for radiation checks
Warnings against travel to Japan increased Friday, with the governments of Australia and Great Britain urging citizens not to travel to Tokyo, or within 50 miles of the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant, citing potentially dangerous radiation leaks.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that at least one foreign government, the German state of Hesse, is recommending that state agencies offer travelers flying directly from Japan the option of undergoing radioactive contamination tests at airports when they arrive.
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs extended its no-go zone much wider than the 12-mile exclusion zone set by Japanese authorities. The government said it was following the United States in extending the zone. It also warned against travel in surrounding areas and northern Honshu.
British nationals were given similar advice Friday. The government told citizens to avoid Tokyo and Northeastern Japan, but said its advice did not apply to Hokkaido, due to its distance from Fukushima.

The U.S. State Department (http://travel.state.gov) continued to urge citizens to defer nonessential travel to all of Japan, and urged those there now to leave. On Wednesday, the department authorized the voluntary departure of family members of government personnel in Tokyo, Nagoya and Yokohama.
The International Civil Aviation Organization said, citing information from the World Health Organization and other international agencies, said screening for radiation of international passengers from Japan is not considered necessary at this time.
Delta and United Airlines are continuing to operate their daily nonstop flights between Seattle and Tokyo and Seattle and Osaka, Japan.
Sea-Tac Airport spokesman Perry Cooper said that the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents are using standard operating procedures for radiation detection as passengers and cargo come into the airport from overseas.
Agents have radiation detection devices on their belts "so every international passenger goes by these devices. Not just from Japan," Cooper said.
"There have been no harmful or elevated levels detected here, nor or are we expecting any. "The normal background radiation levels do appear, but they are equivalent to what your TV, an exit sign or cellphone puts out."

Development of a Targeting and Signal Transduction System for Stem Cell Programming
Development of a Novel Targeting and Signal Transduction System for Stem Cell Programming
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US with an estimated 60 million patients whose care results in approximately $186 billion in annual costs. There is an urgent need for new therapies for acute and chronic myocardial ischemia (MI) and chronic heart failure (CHF) that often develops subsequent to MI. Stem cell (SC) therapy holds great promise for the repair of damaged heart tissue. However, many fundamental issues relating to repair remain unsolved, such as need to efficiently target the cells to the damaged tissue, integrate the cells into the heart, promote their viability, and stimulate new blood vessel growth. We propose to use the tools from the rapidly evolving field of synthetic biology to build an integrated system to target ES-derived myocardiocytes to infracted myocardium and once there, transduce intracellular signals to drive the expression of effectors to promote cell integration and new blood vessel growth. At the heart of the system are fusion proteins that use either an extracellular single chain antibody or a receptor-binding ligand for targeting and intracellular domains that upon dimerization of two extracellular domains, reconstitute an artificial transcription factor, lexA-VP16 to drive the expression of effector genes that confer appropriate phenotype. This fusion protein and the effectors needed for integration, viability and blood vessel growth will be introduced into cardiomyocytes derived from adult stem cells or embryonic stem (ES) cells. Preliminary efficiency of targeting and repair of damaged myocardium will be assessed. Our system will help improve the efficacy of current stem techniques which are too dependent upon stem cells and their differentiated progeny exhibiting repair behavior that they do not intrinsically possess. ES cells can recapitulate development and adult stem cells have some innate repair capacity, but they do not possess repair or regenerative capacity not already selected by evolution. Our system represents one way to overcome these limitations and engineer appropriate repair behavior. Proof of principle of this prototypical system will not only lead to new therapies for myocardial infarction, but also to the development of a similar systems to repair other damaged tissue by simple substitution of appropriate targeting scFv's and intracellular effectors.
The development of a universal signaling and target system for ES and adult stem cell programming will enable repair of damaged tissue in patients. ES cells and adult stem cells are limited by evolution in their ability to repair or regenerate tissue. The system and tools provided will create a general framework to extend the capabilities of these cells to enable practical therapies. Californians will benefit by the development of practical therapies based on this framework.

The Pop-Up Mansion
Housing Is Slumping, But Some Pay Premium To Build a Home Faster
Existing-home sales fell to a nearly 10-year low last month, and major builders are reporting big losses. But a small group of wealthy people unfazed by the downturn are paying big premiums to have houses erected in record time.
Robert Lapidus, a 46-year-old real estate executive, recently hired builders to put up a 10,000-square-foot second home in Bridgehampton, N.Y., in 10 months -- compared to the two years it normally would take to construct a house that size. The accelerated schedule, he says, reflects his desire to spend as much time with his family as possible before his two kids, ages 13 and 16, leave home for college.
"Time is money for everyone," says Mr. Lapidus. "Those of us who work hard, we want instant gratification, and speed is part of that." While he admits this might be considered a "personality defect," he says he shares it with friends also building Hamptons houses. "This is not a group of people who want to stand in line to get into a restaurant. They call someone to cut in line," he says.
As anyone who has worked with a contractor can testify, such expedited construction is still rare. But builders in wealthy suburbs like Greenwich, Conn., and in resorts areas like Aspen, Colo., say such projects represent a growing percentage of their business. To pull them off, specialized builders are deploying small armies of workers who often work seven days a week. Joe Farrell of Farrell Building, which is constructing Mr. Lapidus's house, says it's not uncommon to have 70 people working on a job site in a single day. For a Connecticut mansion, a contractor sent five dozen masons and laborers to build in two days a 480-foot stone wall that normally would take months to complete. The builders also use complex staging tactics to slash the time it takes to construct a house by half or even more.
The Wealth Report Blog
Robert Frank sees the pop-up mansion craze as yet another sign that America has two housing economies: one of defaults and sub-prime mortgages, the other of fast-moving mansions and record prices.
Going fast is expensive, with contractors charging anywhere from a 20% premium to double the price, depending on the work. Still, these high-end builders say neither the housing slump nor the credit crunch has slowed their business. Vincent D. Tyer III, whose Taconic Builders has offices in Oyster Bay and Westchester County, N.Y., says half of the custom luxury homes he is building are on an accelerated schedule. Don Lockard, whose Easton, Pa., firm specializes in custom cabinetry and woodworking, says accelerated projects make up more than three-quarters of his work.
In Aspen, fast-track projects now account for 80% of Silich Construction's job portfolio. Builder John Silich says there is a steady supply of clients who have "more money than time." He adds: "They want to enjoy their investments. And they want to enjoy them as quickly as possible."
After movie producer Sidney Kimmel and his wife, Caroline, bought Johnny Carson's old house in Malibu, Calif., earlier this year, they put contractors on a fast track so they could move in by midsummer. Renovating the 10,000 square-foot-house, which the Kimmels purchased in March for close to $40 million, would normally have taken well over a year. Ms. Kimmel turned to I-Grace Co., a builder that caters to wealthy homeowners and often handles high-speed work.
"At one time we had 60 painters on the job," recalls the 58-year-old Ms. Kimmel. "Many weeks, they were in there seven days a week." Four-and-a-half months later, "when my husband walked in that house he could not believe it. There was not a detail that was missed, everything from the dishes to the clothes hanging in the closet." It was, she says, "like a miracle." Ms. Kimmel says she has no idea how much more the speeded-up work cost since what was more important to her was moving in on time: "I didn't want to waste a summer."
This past summer, the family of Fortress Investment Group President Peter L. Briger Jr. moved into a traditional shingle-style mansion in East Hampton, N.Y., that was built in just 18 months. Normally, a house that size would have taken about 2½ years to construct. Last year, the hedge-fund executive paid $18 million for the five-acre property, where a 4,000-square-foot home stood, according to a person familiar with the transaction. In early 2006, crews began to tear down the old house, and contractors went to work on the Brigers' 12,000-square-foot spread. It was finished in time to give the Briger family a full summer at the beach.
"That was part of their deal," says Steve Howard, a project manager at Wright & Co. Construction Inc., which oversaw the project. "They wanted to have it ready for the following summer." Mr. Briger declined to comment.
Hedge-fund mogul Steven A. Cohen, founder of SAC Capitol Advisors, recently spent $18 million on an East Hampton mansion that went up in 10 months, according to a person familiar with the home. It was built by the same contractor that put up Mr. Lapidus's house, Farrell Building of Bridgehampton. (A spokesman for Mr. Cohen, Jonathan Gasthalter, declined to comment.)
Beyond the added costs, homeowners on a fast schedule can be forced to compromise -- doing without a complex roofline or elaborate carved moldings, for example. Or, they may be compelled to use plans devised by the builder -- which he may have used in a slightly different version to construct another house -- instead of hiring their own architect. Most often, homeowners who want accelerated timetables give up the right to dither over design decisions and must stick with choices once they are made.
Ms. Kimmel understood she had to make compromises to move into her new Malibu home on time. "We had a Plan A and a Plan B," she says. Plan A comprised what the Kimmels really needed to be finished on time. Plan B included items that the builder could complete after the couple had moved in. "They were very realistic about what they thought they could produce in the time frame available," says Ms. Kimmel. So while the plumbing was redone before the summer they waited to replace the septic and air-conditioning systems.
Mr. Silich of Aspen presses homeowner-clients to make decisions on sinks, tiles and other items long before the foundation has been poured, so they can be ordered in advance and stored on site in the exact sequence they will be used. (To keep pricey or delicate items safe from theft or damage, he secures them in locked containers.)
Still, many high-end finishing treatments, including wire-brushing, staining and rubbing, need to be done by hand -- and throwing an extra person on the job can create inconsistencies in custom finishes. One artisan's approach to brushwork, for example, may be noticeably different from another's. Other costs associated with high-speed construction are harder to quantify. The big work crews needed to expedite jobs can alienate neighbors by generating additional noise and congestion.
And high-speed building can be risky for contractors. For one thing, few housing markets are rich enough to support these builders' big, high-cost operations. "We pay our bills every week, so subcontractors flock to us," says Mr. Farrell. But "you need to be constantly starting new jobs to feed this monster. It eats money."
The rapid construction of a Greenwich, Conn., house shows how such a machine works. The 10,000-square-foot, three-story home went up in under six months. The key: a huge crew, instant access to all manner of heavy machinery and precision-staging.
Builder Mark Mariani purchased the property in September 2006 for $3.25 million, according to property records. He says he routinely sent more than 100 workers to the site in a single day to dig ditches, put up walls and install plumbing. To erect the stone wall in front of the house in two days, Mr. Mariani deployed a seven-truck convoy to transport more than 60 workers, who spilled out the back early one morning last winter armed with trowels, axes and metal picks. "They were crawling all over the place, like ants," says one neighbor, David Sebastian, a builder himself who lives three doors away. "It was like War of the Worlds."
As the winter sun set, giant highway lights powered by generators illuminated the three-acre property, according to several neighbors, allowing four excavators, two mechanized hammers and a gravel-pulverizing machine to continue smashing rocks until exactly 6 p.m., when local zoning regulations require construction crews to stop work for the day.
Mr. Mariani is able to meet a high-speed schedule by maintaining a large vertical operation, keeping more than 250 people on his payroll, including painters and carpenters. He even installs landscaping using his own nursery. (An instant wall of vegetation can help placate neighbors.) "The key is to be organized," he says.
But such quick work can result in lapses. One person familiar with the Greenwich property says it has been plagued by annoyances such as sticky drawers and missing shelves. Lighting installed in the roof of the wine cellar has no vapor barrier, which upsets the delicate temperature-control system. And the wine cellar's oak paneling was stained with polyurethane, which some wine enthusiasts say may create fumes that can seep into corks.
The house was purchased last May by investor Steve Johnson and his wife for $9.6 million, according to property records. Mr. Mariani says that "some people prefer polyurethane because it can prevent mold," and that he wasn't aware of the other problems.

Finally a judge who didn't fall for the "I didn't see them" excuse:
Man convicted in orange rabbit pedicab hit-and-run
Friday, October 30, 2009
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Mercedes driver testified he didn't see the 6-foot-tall orange rabbit driving a pedicab because he was fumbling for a dropped cell phone.
Pedicab driver Kate Altermatt tells The Oregonian she finds that hard to believe, noting she was wearing a bright orange bunny suit _ for Easter _ and her Cascadia Pedicab was lit up with reflectors and a blinking red light. She says the crash sent her flying and totaled the pedicab.
She confronted the driver Wednesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
After a daylong trial, Judge Karin Immergut found Edward Cespedes-Rodriguez guilty of hit and run driving for leaving the scene of the crash last April 12.
But Immergut cleared the 34-year-old Portland man of recklessly endangering another person.
Lesson: Wear a 6' orange rabbit outfit and you could very well still get hit...

Buy Twitter Followers to Get Exposure
Followers on Twitter can be bought for various reasons. It has steadily become a trend on the internet. The whole idea is a technique used by business people, trend setters, influential people and bloggers to help them strengthen their popularity on Twitter.
There are groups on the internet that sell followers on social media like Twitter. The trick behind it is that followers are asked to follow certain groups, organisations or people on Twitter and then they are offered some kind of payment. The followers have a chance to unfollow afterwards if they have their own reasons.
There is another way, where a company finds loggings of the person willing to buy accounts and then start following people. By doing so, they expect to be followed back. Another way is when an organisation helps run a Twitter account and gets them to follow the intended buyer when they buy it.
Where to Buy Twitter Followers?
How to get people to follow you on Twitter? Services come in different forms and varieties. There are cheap services that mostly offer followers that are rarely active online. On the flip side, there are services that come expensively and offer active followers.
The active followers usually follow with the expectation of being followed back. When that does not happen, they may decide to unfollow. The groups that are inactive are the ones that rarely unfollow, because they are never online anyway. Individuals or groups tend to buy followers on Twitter for various reasons.
They get Twitter followers to expand their business ventures, to remain relevant on the social scene and to appear credible to possible clients. If someone comes up with a business platform and wishes to make sells or grab potential clients, they will need to prove to the public that they are the in thing. By getting followers, they cement the element of trust and credibility for their intended clients.

Edit Article
How to Make Cute Little Ribbon Bows
Cute little ribbon bows look good on almost everything. Here are some easy steps to make cute little ribbons.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find someone to help you. They will have to hold the ribbon when you are tying it.
2Place the ribbon over the two fingers of the person who's helping you. ( As seen on the picture)
3Cross the ribbon under fingers of the person who's helping you.
4Wrap the part of the ribbon that you are holding in front around the one that is hanging between the fingers of the person who's helping you.
5Tie the ribbon. Tie the two parts of the ribbon which you are holding tight enough so that it won't get untied easily.
6Take the bow off from the fingers of the person who's helping you.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If there is no one around to help you, try finding something else that works the same (e.g.: two pens, two pencils...)
Things You'll Need
- Another person to help you
- A ribbon (its length depends on how big you want the bow to be)

About MeAbout myself. I'm outgoing, lively, spirited, energetic, loveable, giggly, happy, driven, hard working, and dedicated. I find myself always striving to achieve a higher goal on a regular basis. I start in on projects, and only find ways to improve them, and make them the best that they can be. I have my own style, I wear what fits me, not what I want to fit in. I'm comfortable in my own skin, I love being done up in high fashion, but I'm just as comfortable in one of my own hand made tyedye shirts and some sweats or jeans. I have naturally curly hair and some days I let my bohemian side out so that I just let it have a mind of its own. I'd really like a chance to see if modeling is a possible opportunity for myself. I've done some small stuff, such as being a rep but nothing high end.

Its New England so the weather is always different. Since the walk to anywhere on campus is only 5 minutes, weather isn't a big deal walking to class. A perk is we get a lot of snow days since most of the school are commuters the campus usually closes if it is suppose to snow.
The weather is not ever really an issue if you live on campus because classes are really close to yor dorms, since the campus is small.
Typical New England weather.Cold, wet winters and warm summers
Pretty Good – It does snow sometimes which sucks because the school doesn't do a good job cleaning up the snow otherwise it's pretty good except for when it's hot out then things become pretty uncomfortable for people that live in the dorms.
At Albertus, we get it all. Snow, rain, and my favorite, sunshine. I prefer to walk around campus in the warm, sunny weather; however, I have yet to experience a severe snowstorm here.

AHL Hall of Fame welcomes Class of 2013
PROVIDENCE, R.I. ... The American Hockey League today formally inducted four new members into its American Hockey League Hall of Fame.
The AHL Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony took place at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in downtown Providence as part of the festivities that are making up the 2013 Dunkin' Donuts AHL All-Star Classic.
Honored for their outstanding achievements and contributions in the American Hockey League were Harvey Bennett, a standout goaltender who was one of the premier figures in the history of the Providence Reds and hockey in Rhode Island; Ken Gernander, whose 22 years as a player and coach in the AHL have included captaining the Hartford Wolf Pack to the 2000 Calder Cup championship; Jim Morrison, a defenseman who was named to more postseason AHL All-Star teams (eight) than any player in league history; and Peter White, a three-time scoring champion and two-time Calder Cup winner with the Cape Breton Oilers and Philadelphia Phantoms.
Former AHL broadcaster Tom Caron of the New England Sports Network served the master of ceremonies for the event. Caron will lead the on-air team for the call of tonight's AHL All-Star Game, airing live on Sportsnet throughout Canada, on a comprehensive network of regional networks in the U.S., on ESPN America overseas and on AHL Live (ahllive.com).
The AHL Hall of Fame is housed on-line at www.ahlhalloffame.com and is accessible to fans worldwide with the click of a mouse as a member of the AHL Internet Network.
Formed in 1936 and now in its 77th season of operation, the AHL continues to serve as the top development league for all 30 National Hockey League teams.
