Immigration reform may pass this year, predicts Kevin Appleby, director of migration and refugee policy at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as he speaks with Msgr. Kevin Sullivan on JustLove radio broadcast on April 27.
"Political winds, Mr. Appleby says, "are blowing our way."
Called the "guru of immigration reform" by Msgr. Sullivan, Mr. Appleby offers an inside perspective on immigration reform's history, hurdles and likelihood of success.
"We don't have a system based on the rule of law anymore," Mr. Appleby says. "It's based on chaos.
"At the border we have a sign that says 'keep out' but at the workplace we have a sign that says 'help wanted.'"
Eleven million people live in the shadows and form an underground economy, he added. Massive deportations divide families and pull parents away from children. Persons struggling for a better life die as they try to cross the desert.
Solutions have been debated for decades, ever since Congress passed its last major immigration reform bill in 1986.
What's different now "in a word," says Mr. Appleby, "is the election; both parties have taken note and realized that the demographics of our country are changing and they need to get out ahead of it."

The Lonely Goatherd (aka Diary Of An Insane Night)
A recap of the events on the fateful night of 7-20-09 in Minnesota Twins fan history:
From 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., I was at the local theater performance of "The Sound of Music"
It was a great performance, especially considering the small-town venue. It ran a bit longer than I thought it would, so I hurried out to the car radio to get the Twins games on the sub-woofers. At that point, I found out that this was happening…
Basically, it was a good 'ole fashion beat-down courtesy of guys like Justin Morneau, Jason Kubel, and, well, pretty much everyone else. The high point came at 12-2 in the third inning, I believe, when it looked as if the Twins might set a new single game scoring record.
The only damper on the evening is that the A's kept trying to crawl their way back into the game due to the fact that Nick Blackburn was essentially throwing batting practice (his sinker wasn't moving at all). He left after five innings having given up seven runs.
Of course, the bullpen would come in and cobble together the rest, right. Yeah…the lines for the next two Twins hurlers:
Brian Duensing: 1.1 IP, 3 ER
Bobby Keppel: 0.0 IP, 3 ER
As I thought the game was well in hand, I was kind of messing around on Facebook while all the horrendousness was going down, so I don't remember exactly what transpired, but suffice it to say that Duensing loaded the bases in the seventh, then Keppel gave up a grand slam to Matt Holliday to tie the game at 13-13…
Then Gardy, looking like he could bite the head off a bat, pulled Keppel for Jose Mijares. On the first pitch. Jack Cust took HIM deep, and the A's had remarkably taken the lead. This was my status quote on Facebook at that point:
**** (14-13)
But that wasn't the last of it by far. With two outs and the Twins looking to go down meekly in the bottom of the ninth, Cuddyer doubled and Kubel was intentionally walked. Delmon Young then stepped to the plate and did his level best to prolong the game (by not swinging…his premier aspect). On the second pitch to Young, the ball bounce high of the plate and, to the horror of Oakland catcher Kurt Suzuki, could not be found. Cuddyer easily took third, then made the now-fateful decision to try and tie the game. He came barreling into the plate, slide across the dish right between Suzkuki's legs and before the tag, and looked to home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski for the "safe" sign that would surely be forthcoming:
Unfortunately, to paraphrase poet Ernest Thayer:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Twinsville – mighty Cuddy was called out.
I have watched a lot of baseball over the years, and that "out" call may have been the worst umpiring decision I have ever seen. Cuddyer was halfway across home plate before Suzuki's glove hit him, yet Muchlinski gave him the fist pump. I am usually not one to call for suspensions/fines lightly, but if Muchlinski doesn't get some sort of reprimand from MLB I would be disappointed. A major league umpire should make that call in his sleep.
Preview (47-46, 3rd, 1.5 GB CWS): Anthony Swarzak (2-3, 4.50) vs. Dallas Braden (7-8, 3.45). How exactly does a team bounce back from a loss like last night? That is the question I posed to Bert Blyleven on the Carsoup.com "Email the Booth" website before tonight's game.

Mike MacIntyre
BOULDER � Mike MacIntyre, who led San Jose State to its first 10-win season in 25 years, has been named the 25th head football coach at the University of Colorado, athletic director Mike Bohn announced Monday.
MacIntyre agreed to a five-year deal with a salary of $2 million annually; as with all hires of this nature, the contract is subject to final approval of CU's Board of Regents.
He replaces Jon Embree, who was dismissed as Colorado head coach on November 25; Embree was 4-21 in two seasons at the reins of the program.
MacIntyre, 47, led San Jose State to a 10-2 record this fall, with a final regular season ranking of No. 24 in the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls as well as in the final BCS Standings.� The Spartans earned a berth in the Military Bowl opposite Bowling Green on December 27.
He assumed the SJSU position in December 2009, compiling a 16-21 record with the Spartans; he took over a team that had gone 2-10 in 2009, but began instilling a different culture despite a 1-12 record his first season in San Jose.� His second Spartan team went 5-7, but closed the year with thrilling wins over Navy and Fresno State.� His SJSU team has thus won 12 of the last 14 games.�
What Others Are Saying...
"As good a coach as Mike MacIntyre is, he is an even better person. �He recruited me to Ole Miss with a little help from my mother and father, and I was fortunate enough to work with him on both sides of the ball.�
"He coached our wide receivers my freshman year, so I worked closely with him on our passing game, and then for the next two years I got to throw against his secondary every day in practice when he coached the defensive backs, which was invaluable in my preparation.�
"He's a great coach and a great recruiter, and he will not be outworked.� I wish Mike all the best at CU."
"Coach MacIntyre is a great guy, a guy who knows how to recruit.� A guy who knows how to get guys to play, get guys on one accord.� He proved that at San Jose State this year, leading them to a great season.� I'm really happy for him and I wish him the best of luck at Colorado."
"Congratulations to Coach MacIntyre and his family � the University of Colorado has hired an excellent coach and an even finer man.�
"Obviously our history together runs deep, and I couldn't be happier for him, Trisha and their children.� Plain and simple, Coach MacIntyre knows how to coach the game of football.� It's in his blood.� He understands the importance of the well-rounded student-athlete as well as the football program's place in the community.�
"His success in three years at San Jose State is well-documented and his work as an assistant coach on both the collegiate and professional levels speaks for itself.� But on top of all of his coaching excellence � and there is a great deal of that � Coach MacIntyre is a tremendous person."
"He's highly organized, a very good teacher, and a disciplinarian, but not in a nasty way, he commands it through respect.� He's a very people-oriented type of person who will be a great recruiter for the University of Colorado.� This man is a class guy."
San Jose State's most impressive wins this fall came over San Diego State (38-34), Navy (12-0), BYU (20-14) and Louisiana Tech (52-43), teams that otherwise combined to go 30-12 in 2012.� Louisiana Tech was an offensive powerhouse (led the nation in scoring, second in total offense and fourth in passing), but Tech personnel felt MacIntyre and his staff put together the best plan to disrupt its high-octane offense of any of its opponents, including Texas A&M.�� The losses were to Stanford (20-17 in the season opener, as the Cardinal won on a fourth quarter field goal) and to Utah State.
The 2012 season under MacIntyre is one of the best in San Jose State's nearly 120-year football history.� In recording their first 10-win season since 1987, the Spartans did it with a highly-productive offense that scored 423 points, a defense that ranked among the national leaders in many statistical categories and reliable special teams.�
His third Spartan saw a SJSU single-season record 16 players earn All-Western Athletic Conference honors, which came in a year that 36 school and conference records either were tied or broken.
MacIntyre's San Jose State teams performed in the classroom as well.� In 2011, the school had a record number of Academic All-WAC team members � 13 � while defensive end Travis Johnson became the Spartans' first player in 30 years to get Academic All-America recognition this fall.� In addition, San Jose State's Academic Progress Rate (APR) score in the last reporting period was 981, second best in the WAC.
Before his 2010 head coaching debut, MacIntyre instituted a comprehensive recruiting plan and initiated a "Summer Bridge" program for his first recruiting class to provide his newcomers a smooth transition into life as a college football player. Facing five nationally-ranked teams early in the season, the Spartans rebuilt themselves repeatedly, and were positioned late for victory in four of their final five games before finishing with a 1-12 record.�
The 2011 Spartans produced the fourth-best positive turnaround in their football history with a 4�-game improvement. San Jose State exhibited the resiliency and resourcefulness to find a winning way.���
Four of the team's five wins were in the final minute of the fourth quarter. The opportunistic Spartans were the co-national leaders with their 20 fumble recoveries, tied for fourth in turnovers gained with 33, were disciplined as the second least penalized team in the Football Bowl Subdivision and were ranked in the top-25 in passing offense (23rd) for the first time in eight years.
After the season, San Jose State was so pleased with the direction of the program that they extended his contract through 2017.
A veteran coach of 22 seasons, MacIntyre arrived at San Jose State after two years as the defensive coordinator at Duke University, where he was reunited with head coach David Cutcliffe from earlier in his coaching days.� Those Blue Devil defenses were among Duke's best statistically over a 20-year span, and in 2009, Duke's five wins were the most in a season by the Blue Devils since 1994. �The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) named him its 2009 FBS Assistant Coach of the Year.
Prior to returning to college ball, MacIntyre spent five seasons in the National Football League with the New York Jets (2007) and Dallas Cowboys (2003-06) coaching defensive backs. �Working for legendary coach Bill Parcells, the Cowboys returned to the NFL playoffs in 2003 and again in 2006 after missing out on postseason competition during the 2000 through 2002 seasons.
MacIntyre has coached on both sides of the ball, spending four years at Ole Miss (1999-2002) where he started as the wide receivers coach for two seasons and the defensive secondary coach in his final two years. The Rebels posted a 29-19 record in that time with bowl appearances in the 1999 and 2002 Independence Bowls and the 2000 Music City Bowl. The 2001 Rebels ranked fifth nationally in pass defense, allowing just 161.3 yards per game.
At Mississippi, among his recruits were two high profile student-athletes that one could sign to letters-of-intent, quarterback Eli Manning and linebacker Patrick Willis.� And along his coaching trail, he has mentored many current and former NFL players including recently retired former Dallas and Cincinnati safety Roy Williams, a five-time Pro Bowl player.� At Dallas, he also tutored Terrence Newman, the former Kansas State cornerback who longtime CU fans certainly remember.
He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Georgia, working two years (1990-91) in that capacity.� He then coached one year as the defensive coordinator at Davidson (1992), four years at Tennessee Martin (1993-96) and two seasons at Temple (1997-98) before he joined Cutcliffe's staff at Ole Miss.
A 1989 graduate of Georgia Tech, he lettered twice (1987-88) at free safety and punt returner for legendary head coach Bobby Ross. �Prior to becoming a Yellow Jacket, MacIntyre played two seasons (1984-85) at Vanderbilt for his father, George, the head coach of the Commodores from 1979-85. �The elder MacIntyre was the national coach of the year in 1982 when Vandy beat Alabama on its way to an 8-4 record.
MacIntyre earned a bachelor's degree in Business Management from Georgia Tech and his master's in Education with an emphasis on Sports Management from Georgia in 1991.
He was born George Michael MacIntyre on March 14, 1965, in Miami, Fla., and he and his wife, Trisha, have three children, Jennifer, Jay Michael and Jonston.

Batman (comics)
Batman is an ongoing comic book series featuring the DC Comics hero of the same name. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #27, published in May 1939. Batman proved to be so popular that a self-titled ongoing comic book series began publication in the spring of 1940. It was first advertised in early April 1940, one month after the first appearance of his new sidekick, Robin, the Boy Wonder.
Though the Batman comic book was initially launched as a quarterly publication, it later became a bi-monthly series through the late 1950s, after which it became a monthly publication and has remained so since.
Batman's (1939-current) secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child, Wayne trains himself both physically and intellectually and dons a bat-themed costume in order to fight crime.[1] Batman operates in the fictional American Gotham City, assisted by various supporting characters including his sidekick Robin and his butler Alfred Pennyworth, and fights an assortment of villains influenced by the characters' roots in film and pulp magazines. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.

- "Maybe I have something to prove--to him or myself or both. Or maybe I care because I've been alone most of my life. Ever since I was a child. Alone in every kind of darkness. Hunting evil or just waiting for the dawn. It must be some kind of comfort to have a partner. Someone to trust at your back. So maybe when I see him with Robin I want to see me. He's like me--a loner--yet he and his partner somehow make a perfect team." - Batman 80 Page Giant #1

The JokerEdit
- "So... I see you received the free ticket I sent you. I'm glad. I did so want you to be here. You see it doesn't matter if you catch me and send me back to the asylum... Gordon's been driven mad. I've proved my point. I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once, am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a bad day and everything changed. Why else would you dress up as a flying rat? You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy as everybody else... Only you won't admit it! You have to keep pretending that life makes sense, that there's some point to all this struggling! God you make me want to puke. I mean, what is it with you? What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger? Something like that, I bet. Something like that... Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha! But my point is... My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was, I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you? I mean, you're not unintelligent! You must see the reality of the situation. Do you know how many times we've come close to World War Three over a flock of geese on a computer screen? Do you know what triggered the last World War? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed its war debt creditors! Telegraph poles! Ha ha ha ha HA! It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?" - Batman: The Killing Joke

A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out." - Identity Crisis
- "Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away... forever." - Batman: The Killing Joke
- "Ladies and gentlemen! You've read about it in the papers! Now witness, before your very eyes, that most rare and tragic of nature's mistakes! I give you: the average man. Physically unremarkable, it instead possesses a deformed set of values. Notice the hideously bloated sense of humanity's importance. Also note the club-footed social conscience and the withered optimism. It's certainly not for the squeamish, is it? Most repulsive of all, are its frail and useless notions of order and sanity. If too much weight is placed upon them... they snap. How does it live, I hear you ask? How does this poor pathetic specimen survive in today's harsh and irrational environment? I'm afraid the sad answer is, 'Not very well'. Faced with the inescapable fact that human existence is mad, random, and pointless, one in eight of them crack up and go stark slavering buggo! Who can blame them? In a world as psychotic as this... any other response would be crazy!" - Batman: The Killing Joke

- "See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum...and one night, one night they decide they don't like living in an asylum any more. They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moonlight...stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend daredn't make the leap. Y'see...y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea...He says 'Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!' B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... he says 'What do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!'" - Batman: The Killing Joke

And the doctor smiles and says, 'They're fine. Just fine. Your wife's delivered a healthy baby boy and they're both in tip-top form. You're one lucky guy.' So the guy rushes into the maternity ward with his flowers. But it's empty. His wife's bed is empty. 'Doc?' He says and turns around and the doctor and all the nurses wave their arms and scream in his face. 'April fool! Your wife's dead and the baby's a spastic!!'"

Joker: Side order of fries, also crispy, one of those fake pie thingees with the boiling hot juice that scalds the roof of your mouth...I LOVE that...
Waitress: Sir...
Joker:Two of your special Egg Nog Shakes, a boy's kiddie meal, and I'll pay extra for a full assortment of the toys that come with it.
Waitress: Sir! You were talking way to fast. You'll have to repeat all that!
Joker: Of all the incompetence! Listen, you brain-dead Cephalapod! I have better things to do than repeat myself in the fleeting hope that through some MIRACLE you might somehow triumph over your own crushing ignorance and get ONE ITEM of my order right! I DEMAND to see your manager!
Manager: I'm sorry, sir. How may I help you?

Welcome to our daily Oregon practice reports on Rob Moseley's blog. Rob will take over as the primary writer of these updates on Friday, but until then, Andy McNamara provides his take on the workouts.
The 2013 Oregon Ducks took to their new practice digs for the first time as a full team Monday, marking the first of 21 sessions leading into game week preparations ahead of the Aug. 31 home opener vs. Nicholls.
In an effort to be consistent with these reports per Mr. Moseley's suggestion, here are the particulars:
Venue: Outdoor practice fields.
Format: Helmets (no pads).
Highlights: Koa Ka'ai, who split time between tight end and the defensive line last season, made a nice, one-handed, over the shoulder catch early in the session during a routine passing drill. Also, from a receiving standpoint, Eric Dungy followed up a rare drop during a 3v2 drill (3 DBs vs. 2 WR/RBs) with an aggressive grab in traffic on his next rep. Despite the helmets-only practice, Dungy's improved physicality was evident. Veteran defensive lineman Ricky Havili-Heimuli looks to be in excellent physical condition and appeared fresh while flying through a series of intensive position drills in the 90-degree heat.
Most entertaining period: Other periods were technically more entertaining, but I find the first period of the first practice is always interesting to watch. Just seeing how newcomers respond and perform compared to their veteran counterparts is a rare opportunity that comes but once a year.
Other observations: The first song of the season (if you didn't already know, the Ducks practice to music) was Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines … Outside of a few new faces, the schedule, pace and drills remained basically identical to recent years … As previously reported, incoming freshman running back Thomas Tyner is indeed fast, but more impressive to me was how quick his feet are and his ability to accelerate into and out of cuts … Freshman offensive lineman Doug Brenner, the younger brother of UO four-sport student-athlete Liz Brenner, took some snaps at center … It was great to see the leadership of veteran receivers Josh Huff and Keanon Lowe, coaching up newcomers Chris Tewhill and Devon Allen. The WR unit is Oregon's most experienced group on offense … The size and athleticism on Oregon's defensive line is a sight to behold.
Up next: The Ducks continue their single-day practice schedule through Friday, before two-a-days begin on Saturday. Until tomorrow.

Patrick Ligner
Patrick Ligner is a lawyer and co-founder of the Goldberg, Ligner and Shyster law firm, alongside Tom Goldberg and Dick Shyster. He is not seen during Grand Theft Auto IV but his photo can be found on the official GTA IV website.
According to the law firm's website, Ligner is dedicated to battering society. He became well-known after bankrupting the law school he recently graduated from with only one lawsuit. He went on constructing cases against his undergraduate college, high school, and elementary school. He wrote the book "Five Easy Ways to Spot a Lawsuit: Rudimentary Case Construction," which became a Liberty Tree bestseller and Weazel News Book of the Week.
He is expected to be taking the remainder of cases that Dick Shyster takes over from Tom Goldberg after Goldberg's death, as it's said that Shyster will be taking most of Goldberg's cases.
- In the mission Wrong is Right, an email from a "Larry Ligner" sent from [email protected] can be found on Oleg Minkov's computer. This would imply that Larry was Patrick's original name.
- His character model (which is also used for Mr. Parker) is also the model used for a generic Italian mobster.

Welcome to Club Cantamar
In 1983, the Aguilar family moved to La Paz with the sole purpose of starting a service oriented business. Being a scuba diver since 1965, it was just the natural move for Fernando, beginning operations with a 22' panga (Baja 1, still in operation), and an old 40 hp outboard engine, but with the Cantamar Project in mind as the family goal. After several years of persistent dreaming and planing, construction started in 1994 with a boat ramp, a small office building and the compressors house with the tank filling station, which in turn gave place to the actual Hotel Cantamar Beach Resort & Marina, the family's dream come true.
The Baja Peninsula
Long and deserted, the contrast of the pristine blue ocean and the unique living desert make the peninsula of Baja California one of the last frontiers for the lovers of nature. Endemic plants and animals witnessed for thousands of years the isolation of this land, inhabited only for nomadic tribes that left no signs of culture but only rupestrian paintings of unknown origin but considered now as heritage for the humanity. Later, still nomadic tribes known as Guaycuras, Cochimies and Pericues, roamed the coasts in search of food and shelter, walking into extinction at the end of the 18th century.

Each week O Heroes sits down with one of our student-athletes to get to know more about them on and off the court. This week's feature is on Lauren Plum, a redshirt junior setter on the Oregon Women's Volleyball team. A native to San Diego, Plum is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Sports Marketing.
Plum serves as the student-athlete co-liaison for O Heroes where she plays a vital part in organizing O Heroes events within the community. Her success on the court parallels her success in the classroom and within the O Heroes program.
Most recently, Plum joined 25 fellow student-athletes for "MLK Day On!"-- a collaborative effort between O Heroes and the Duck Corps-- who helped improve the building conditions at Willamette High School.
In addition, she volunteered at Polar Plunge Eugene (benefitting Special Olympics Oregon) and makes weekly trips to the Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Valley. Plum's involvement within the Eugene/Springfield community reflects her passion for serving others.
Post-graduation, Plum hopes to play professionally overseas and take her volunteering to an international level. Her ultimate goal is to represent the University of Oregon in the Olympics, and to win a gold medal.
Although she hasn't won Olympic gold yet, Plum deserves a medal for being an influential member of O Heroes. We look forward to seeing the amazing things she will do both on the volleyball court and in the community for years to come!

As a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Sgt. Andy Gilpin had signed up to serve and protect his country. He couldn't have known that in 1948 that would mean defending Canada's hockey honour at the Olympic Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Initially Canada wasn't going to send a team to the Games. However, Sandy Watson, then a squadron leader at RCAF Headquarters in Ottawa, volunteered to build a team with players from bases across the country. They would be the RCAF Flyers.
In 1947, Gilpin, now 93, was stationed in Whitehorse, Yukon. He had played hockey growing up in Montreal and in 1940 was a member of the Westmount Junior A team. Andy had brought his skates and stick with him to Whitehorse, and when the pond froze over he played shinny. Then one day a message came from the Ottawa base: they were looking for hockey players. "Before I got [to Whitehorse], there was another player that was their top player" says Gilpin. "The commanding officer called him and said we're going to put your name in, and he said you better put Andy Gilpin's name in. He had the puck all the time."
Gilpin and two other players went to Edmonton for a tryout. From there, they were sent to Ottawa: they had made the team.
After the Flyers split a pair of exhibition games, some players were dropped and new recruits, including two civilians, were brought in. The press said Canada would be lucky to finish fourth at the Games.
Canada set sail for Europe from New York aboard the Queen Elizabeth. The team was joined by its American counterparts, who started trash-talking somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. "They were going around bragging, saying [we] haven't got a chance against [them]," says Gilpin. "We only beat them 12-3. So they had to pull their horns in a little bit."
Olympic rules at the time dictated that only 12 players – two of them goalies – could dress. This meant Gilpin and four others wouldn't be playing.
Canada won its first five games of the eight-team round-robin tournament. In its sixth game, it played Czechoslovakia – which had also yet to lose a game – to a 0-0 draw, still the only scoreless game in Canada's Olympic history. Canada wrapped up the preliminary round against the host Swiss, and on the outdoor rink the home crowd showered the Canadians with a barrage of snowballs.
"You look up and all you can see are these white balls coming down," laughs Gilpin. "We got hit with a couple of them." Canada won the game 3-0. The Flyers finished with a 7-0-1 record, the same as the Czechs. But thanks to a greater goal differential, the Canadians would get the gold.
Medals weren't the only thing the players took home. The father of one of the player's owned a liquor store in Toronto and gave each team member a congratulatory bottle. Watson had prohibited drinking, but at least one player ignored the rule that night. "He had gotten into his bottle and was out like a light," laughs Gilpin. "He didn't get into the final picture that was taken of the team."
Gilpin continued to play hockey into his 60s. He and his wife, Ellen, had moved to London in 1984 and one day he came across an ad from the Huff 'n' Puffs, an organization for retired people looking to stay active. After getting equipment from one of his sons-in-law, Gilpin headed to the rink. "I opened the door and said, 'Are you looking for hockey players?' " It only took a few scrimmages for organizers to notice his skills. "The chap that was running the place said, 'Come over, you're on my team.'" Andy played with the league until just after he turned 70.
The Gilpins moved to Grand Bend, Ont., for 10 years, and with no rink in the town Gilpin put his skates away. In 2000, they moved back to the London area. The following year, Ellen passed away. "I didn't know what to do," he says. "Three years after I looked at my skates and said, 'There – that's what I'm going to do."
Like kids from three to, well, 93, it's the social community that keeps bringing Gilpin back to the rink. Every Monday he spends part of his afternoon skating at Nichols Recreation Centre.
"I think he's as passionate about skating, hockey and sports at this age as he was at eight, nine years old," says Dave Smith, one of the dozens of friends Gilpin has made at his weekly skate. "He's an icon in the dressing room. This is a seniors group and most of us are in our 60s or 70s, and here's Andy, 93. We look at him as someone to admire."
Chris Payne met Gilpin three years ago, and the Canadiens fan became fast friends with the Montreal native. Chris now helps the Olympic gold medallist around the ice. "It's easy to skate with Andy because he's got a great stride and excellent rhythm. He told me he was a very fast skater, and I believe him because he's got good technique."
"Nobody ever realized his age because he just walks in [and starts skating]," says Carroll Grenier, who says Gilpin is the first person newcomers are introduced to. "I think he was probably just a phenomenal player in terms of tenacity. He just loves the game – any kind of hockey. You can just feel it any time you talk to him."
As the 2014 Games kicked off on Feb. 7, Gilpin was honoured by the 427 (London) Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada for his military and athletic achievements. The RCAF Flyers captured its gold medal on Feb. 8, 1948, and Andy likes this year's team's chances as much as he liked his own team's 66 years ago. "As long as we got Crosby on our team, we got the best player in the world."

what the hell is Trinidad?
move to a recent country
Worst member ever was Celebi. He had the same powers that Neeherc did, but was massively more gay. Neeherc provided the first drama, so he was useful. Lemony was basically useless, but he didn't screw things up enough to warrant a higher spot. Covert wasn't constant in what he did, so I don't see him in a worse rank. Celebi deleted Mario's flame on Chrizz, and did nothing useful to counterbalance his negative stuff.
Most of that stuff has already been said
one could say celebi provided the foil i needed to reach my UTMOST POTENTIAL OF POWER
i wouldnt say that though. celebi was a fag.
Haha, buckwheat is trying to tell us how it is.
It's either covert (he was that 1337 5|>33|< bitch right?) or kelsh.
Kelsh rocks squid!
He's probably joking.
Although I don't really know
He's not joking.
But it's okay.
Well you still rock Kelsh!

If you have to log into desura to run it then desura should also update it for you.
Sounds like you are using the desura version to me.
You could always just run desura and tell it to do a file check by right clicking the xenonauts link in the play section.
That should add in any files you might be missing after the cancelled install.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by peppersmom001 Nice side table I bought two of these to pair with gray easy chairs as side tables. They took less than 10 minutes to put together and seem sturdy and a good value. I bought upgraded knobs and love the detail. The finish is a soft vanilla-streaked yellow. Two of the legs were darker than the others but I solved that by placing them in the back of the piece. The drawers are large enough for remotes and reading glasses and the tops easily accommodate a narrow-based lamp, a coaster for a beverage and a framed photograph. A small plant or a couple of books are easily housed on the lower shelf. For the money, totally worth it. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by dreamin very nice a nice sturdy small piece of furniture. was easy to put together. i am very happy with this item. February 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by bootz743 Good quality. This is a very sturdy nightstand and was fairly easy to assemble. Only negative is that the drawer does not slide out easily. Otherwise, we are happy with it. April 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by momof2 nice little table I bought this little table to fit into a tight spot in my bathroom--it is just the right size at 26 1/2 h and x 16in w. I saw it on the floor of the store but they had new ones in the box available. The store rep suggested I get a couple of the world market decorative knobs to replace the original knobs, which was a great idea. I got a couple of speckled glass knobs there that cost about $2.50 each and it gives it a nice look. It was easy enough to put together. April 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mary Very sturdy This nightstand is very sturdy and very easy to put together. Be warned however, that the picture does not represent the product. The finish is as written -an aged vanilla finish - In the pic it looks like a clear wood finish. November 10, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chipi Broken and defective upon reciept DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Ordered two of these night stands and when I tried to assemble them I found cracks in the "fo-wood" AKA particle board. One piece was clearly separating from its joint. Complete waste of time. January 6, 2013
