Ducks beat Blackhawks 3-2 in shootout
Posted at: 12/07/2013 12:06 AM
By JAY COHEN
(AP) CHICAGO - Nick Bonino and Kyle Palmieri scored in the shootout to help the Anaheim Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Friday night, sending the defending Stanley Cup champions to their third consecutive loss.
Bonino matched Jonathan Toews' goal in the first round of the tiebreaker, and Palmieri beat Antti Raanta with a backhand after Jonas Hiller stopped Patrick Sharp at the other end.
Hiller then made another save on Patrick Kane to give Anaheim the win after it lost its previous two games in a shootout.
Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf scored in regulation for the Ducks, and Hiller finished with 23 saves.
Raanta had 24 stops in his first home game. It was the first NHL shootout for the rookie, who won each of his first two starts. He looked as if he could have stopped Bonino's attempt in the tiebreaker, but it trickled under him for the score.
Ben Smith and Kris Versteeg scored for Chicago, which trailed 1-0 and 2-1, but rallied each time.
It's the first three-game losing streak for the Blackhawks during the regular season since February 2012. They also lost three in a row against Detroit in the playoffs last year, but managed to advance in seven games on their way to the title.
Getzlaf snapped a 1-1 tie at 10:05 of the second, using a screen by Perry to send a slap shot through Raanta's legs. Getzlaf's 15th goal came with Johnny Oduya in the penalty box for closing his hand on the puck.
Anaheim remained in front until Bryan Allen was sent off for boarding Toews. The Blackhawks made the most of the power-play opportunity, with Versteeg beating Hiller into the upper right corner with 2:12 to go in the second.
Versteeg's second goal since he was reacquired in a trade with Florida on Nov. 14 stopped a streak of 26 consecutive kills for the Ducks.
Each team had ample opportunities to move in front in the third, but Hiller and Raanta took turns turning away prime chances. Hiller denied a streaking Sharp right in front of the goal, and Raanta grabbed a slap shot by Matt Beleskey.
Hiller also made a terrific kick save on Toews about 35 seconds into overtime, and the Ducks had a potential winning goal waved off for goalie interference.
Perry put Anaheim in front with some tough work in front of the Chicago goal in the first period. The 2011 NHL MVP lost his stick for a brief moment, but picked it up in time to tip Getzlaf's shot by Raanta right as he was hit by Oduya.
It was Perry's team-best 17th goal of the season. Getzlaf leads Anaheim with 19 assists and has at least one point in each of his past 12 games.
It was the third consecutive game that Chicago had surrendered the first goal, but Smith had a quick response for the Blackhawks.
Kane nudged the puck back near the right faceoff circle, and then got out of the way as Smith charged in and beat Hiller for his fourth goal just 45 seconds after Perry's score.
NOTES: Blackhawks C Michal Handzus returned to the ice after missing two games with an illness. C Andrew Shaw (upper body) could return as soon as Sunday against Florida, while LW Bryan Bickell (lower body) is expected to begin skating again in the next week. ... Getzlaf missed three games last month with an upper-body injury, so the NHL counts his point streak as 10 games. ... The Ducks scratched Fs Tim Jackman and Patrick Maroon and defenseman Alex Grant. ... The Blackhawks' charity organization launched an online raffle for a chance to win a 2013 Stanley Cup championship ring. The raffle runs through March 21.

Senior Todd Harrity Plays For Second National Squash Championship Sunday
Senior Todd Harrity, the 2011 national squash champion, will get a chance to end his collegiate career with a second title Sunday afternoon when he takes on St. Lawrence freshman Amr Khaled Khalifa in the national final.
Harrity has yet to drop an individual game during the championships, a stretch that included two victories Saturday. In a rematch of his 2011 national final, he defeated Cornell's Nick Sachvie 11-7, 11-3, 11-8 to advance to the semifinal round, where he met fifth-seeded freshman Ahmed Abdel Khalek of Bates College. Abdel Khalek upset former finalist Ramit Tandon in four games, but Harrity ended that run there.
The Princeton co-captain topped Abdel Khalek 11-7, 11-7, 11-4 to reach his third career final, which will be played Sunday at noon on Court 1 at Trinity College. His opponent will be another freshman, as Khalifa upset reigning national champion Ali Farag of Harvard in a five-game thriller. After dropping the first two games, Khalifa scored wins of 11-7 and 11-6 to force a fifth.
Khalifa, who defeated Princeton sophomore Tyler Osborne in four sets in the quarterfinal, went extra points before finally defeating Farag 13-11 in the fifth.
Harrity is the last Princeton player standing in the 'A' draw, though both the men's and women's teams have players left in the 'B' draw. Either Alex Sawin or Lexi Saunders will play for the Holleran Cup, as those two members of the Ivy League champion women's squash team will play in one semifinal match Sunday morning. On the men's side, Vivek Dinodia survived a marathon five-game match to advance to the Molloy Division semifinals.
Princeton senior Julie Cerullo and junior Libby Eyre were both eliminated from the women's 'A' division during the quarterfinal round. Cerullo fell to fifth-seeded Yan Xin Tan in three tight games, while Eyre almost pulled off one of the upsets of the year. She led former national champion Millie Tomlinson of Yale 2-1, but Tomlinson battled back for wins of 11-7 and 11-6 to finish the match.

It is notoriously hard to ship cupcakes. When trying to ship cupcakes, there is that pesky problem of keeping the cupcakes from turning upside-down and the gift arriving as a frosted box rather than frosted cupcakes.
So How Do You Ship Cupcakes?
So how do you ship cupcakes? The answer is to use half pint mason jars as your cups! The mason jars are oven safe – you can bake your cupcakes directly in the jars. Put 1/4 cup of batter in the jar – leaving room for plenty of frosting – and place the jar directly onto your oven rack (make sure the lid isn't on!). Bake just as you would your regular cupcakes.
When the cupcakes are out of the oven, wait for them to cool and frost them (most frostings will work, although I wouldn't recommend using whipped cream because it doesn't freeze as well). Then, seal the jars and freeze them. Once they are frozen solid, decorate the jars however you like (ribbons and gift tags work well), pack them well (broken glass is worse than smooshed frosting), and ship them next day air. If you are shipping them somewhere warm, you might also want to include an ice pack in the box to ensure that they stay cool during their travels.
Do you have another way to ship cupcakes? Please share it in the comments!
The Specific Cupcakes in the Photo
The cupcakes in the photo are brandied cherry cupcakes that I created for Paula Dean. Because I baked them in the jars, I was able to make them extra moist without fear of the wrappers falling off. They are loaded with brandied cherries and then drizzled with extra cherry syrup. They would make an outstanding holiday gift. Get the recipe on Paula Deen.
Shout Out
A special shout out to CakeSpy and Beantown Baker for the shipping in jars inspiration.

Should directors be paid for services to condos or HOAs?
Most Floridians know that an association board member has a fiduciary duty to the members of the association, under Florida Statute 718.111 (1) for condos and under Section 720.303 (1) for HOAs. In most instances, that would include a duty to abstain from decisions where there is conflict of interest –where the director is negotiating for him or herself at the same time as negotiating for the board, or worse yet, negotiating against the association.
This does not necessarily mean a director who may benefit financially cannot contract with the association, under certain circumstances and even vote to do so.
For co-ops and condos, F.S. 617.0832 provides that contracts between a director and the association (corporation) are not void or voidable, even if the director who has the financial conflict is present at the meeting or voted for the contract, if:
(1) the director has disclosed that conflict;
(2) such action is either approved or ratified by the entity entitled to vote on it (the board or the members) and
(3) the contract or transaction is fair.
Florida Statutes Section 718.111 (1)(a) provides that an officer, director, or manager cannot knowingly solicit, offer to accept, or accept any thing or service of value without consideration. This type of self dealing is subject to a civil penalty pursuant to s. 718.501(1)(d). However, this does not prohibit an officer, director, or manager from accepting services or items received in connection with trade fairs or education programs.
Section 720.303 (12) governing HOAs is broad because of the caveats and under some circumstances the statute allows contracts between a director(s) and the association, and allows a director to be paid for services of just being a director — if provided for in the governing documents. The governing documents are the Declaration, Articles and Bylaws and not board-enacted rules.
The caveats are in 12 (a)-(f). These caveats belie the section title.
Section 720.303 (12) COMPENSATION PROHIBITED.—A director, officer, or committee member of the association may not directly receive any salary or compensation from the association for the performance of duties as a director, officer, or committee member and may not in any other way benefit financially from service to the association.
This subsection does not preclude:
(a) Participation by such person in a financial benefit accruing to all or a significant number of members as a result of actions lawfully taken by the board or a committee of which he or she is a member, including, but not limited to, routine maintenance, repair, or replacement of community assets.
(b) Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person on behalf of the association, subject to approval in accordance with procedures established by the association's governing documents or, in the absence of such procedures, in accordance with an approval process established by the board.
(c) Any recovery of insurance proceeds derived from a policy of insurance maintained by the association for the benefit of its members.
(d) Any fee or compensation authorized in the governing documents.
(e) Any fee or compensation authorized in advance by a vote of a majority of the voting interests voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the members.
(f) A developer or its representative from serving as a director, officer, or committee member of the association and benefiting financially from service to the association.
These statutes are clear about one thing. Although a board has a fiduciary duty to the members, the entity with the responsibility for consenting to such a contract between a director and the association may do so, if the arrangement is reasonable and fair. However, only HOA directors may be paid for their service if the Declaration, Articles or Bylaws authorize it. The question that arises is "what is reasonable or fair" and does this encourage corruption?

Volleyball Earns Road Split, Claims Win Over Tough Columbia Squad
Columbia has been a challenging spot to win in the Ivy League recently, and Princeton brought a young team there Saturday coming off its first league loss. The Tigers showed resolve in a tough spot, winning two 25-23 sets en route to a 3-1 road win.
Princeton improved to 6-7 overall, 2-1 in the Ivy League, with the victory. The Tigers share second place in the Ivy League with Cornell and Brown, while Yale remains unbeaten in league play. Princeton will travel to the Northeast next weekend to take on both Brown (Friday, 7) and Yale (Saturday, 5).
Freshman Cara Mattaliano led the offense with 17 kills, while sophomore Kendall Peterkin added 13 kills and five digs. The middle duo of Nicole Kincade and Tiana Woolridge continued to be highly effective, combining for 21 kills with only two errors; Woolridge hit .667 in the match, while Kincade had a team-high eight blocks.
While the offense was effective, Princeton both outblocked (11-8) and outdug (60-49) Columbia in the win. Sophomore Sarah Daschbach had 22 digs, at least twice as many as any player on the court, while four Princeton players had at least three blocks.
Freshman Lauren Miller led the offense with 38 assists, though junior Ginny Willis came in and added 12 assists and five digs in the victory. Head coach Sabrina King used much of her depth in the win; eight Princeton players had at least one kill, including four from Francie Jenkins and three from Ellie Shannon. Junior co-captain Sarah Hanna had two kills and three blocks.

NOTICE: Please welcome the new Compliance Officer, Sharilyn Mumaw to the office of Research Integrity and Compliance. We appreciate your patience while she transitions into her new position. If you have general questions or concerns related to Compliance, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 907-786-1099.
Federal and other sponsors require institutions receiving financial support to adopt policies and practices to ensure adequate stewardship of resources, ethical and reasonable conduct, proper respect and concern for societal issues, and adequate safety and protections. The responsibilities for compliance may be divided among three categories within the Institution:
Responsibilities in Category 1 are spread throughout the Institution, depending upon the particular compliance issue.
The Grants and Contracts Department assumes much of the responsibility in Category 2. However, program administrators, Principal Investigators (PIs) or Program Directors (PDs) must assume primary fiscal responsibility for the appropriateness of all charges.
Oversight for the issues in Category 3 includes mandated committees such as the Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and others, but responsibility, ultimately, falls on Principal Investigators (PIs) and Project Directors (PDs) to get the appropriate reviews, approvals and permits.

2 cups chopped seedless watermelon flesh (optional for the "chunky" element)
In a half-gallon pitcher with lid, mix 1 cup of the water with the sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the rest of the water, watermelon puree, sliced lemon, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to mix well and chill.
For the chunky watermelon lemonade, stir in the 2 cups of chopped watermelon at the end.
If none of the above ideas seem appetizing, you can always throw it on the grill!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (April 2, 2006) - The No. 9-ranked ETSU men's golf team improved three strokes over its previous two rounds at the Administaff ASU Invitational, but it was only enough to move up one spot on the team leaderboard for a 10th-place finish Sunday at the Champions Retreat Golf Club. ETSU finished with a team score of 882 (295-295-292).
The team championship went to Coastal Carolina (854) by five strokes over nearby USC-Aiken. However, Scott Brown did bring home some hardware for the Aiken squad, capturing the individual championship by one stroke over Dustin Johnson of Coastal Carolina. Brown fired a final round of 4-under 68 to hold off Johnson's 69.

ProMat 2013: Is packaging now part of materials handling?
February 01, 2013 - MMH Editorial
The argument for the creation of Modex, a show that will co-locate a logistics show within a materials handling show, is the recognition that what happens outside the four walls is converging with what happens inside the four walls.
After attending ProMat, I think another convergence is underway. That is the convergence of automated packaging systems with automated materials handling systems. A number of solutions were on display in Chicago that were designed to handle the new complexity of packaging orders for e-fulfillment, or what our industry is calling multi-channel distribution. Think of it as ProMat meets PackExpo.
They came in a couple of flavors.
First, there were the box on demand solutions. These are designed to create a shipping container that is the right size for an order of one to a few items with a minimal amount of void fill. They are also designed to integrate with an automated materials handling system. I saw solutions from Packsize, Sealed Air and System Logistics. There were other exhibitors that I didn't get to visit.
What's of particular interest is that each is bringing a different business model to the market. Packsize sells its solution similar to the way Gillette sells razors and razor blades. The cost of the machine is minimal; the customer pays for the corrugated that is designed to work with the machine.
Sealed Air charges an installation fee but does not sell the corrugated. Instead, it charges a transaction fee for every box that is formed by the system.
System Logistics operates with a traditional sales and services model: a customer purchases the equipment and works with the vendor of its choice on the packaging materials.
A customer can choose the system that best suits its operational needs and the business model that best meets its capital requirements.
The second area includes automation to add packing slips to shipping cartons, print and apply shipping labels, or both. I visited with the Numina Group, Fox IV Technologies and Logopak and spoke with PSI Engineering after the show.
While solutions like print and apply have been in the marketplace for years, something is changing. They are moving from a packing process to part of an overall materials handling process. "What's resonating with our customers is that we now look at this as part of a continuous process," says Dan Hanrahan, president of Numina Group. "We look at pick, pack, validation and flow as one continuous process from picking right into the truck door. What's flowing out your doors has a great deal to do with how you build efficiency into your operation."

This April marks the 30th anniversary of my marriage—and one year since my husband and I started sharing a bank account. "I think all couples should keep their money separate," I used to tell anyone who asked. And it's true that Doug and I almost never argued about money. He had his and I had mine; each month he'd pay what bills he felt he could, then hand the rest over to me. It wasn't anything we talked about. It's just the system we adopted.
But it was also true that for almost all of our three decades together—we both just turned 56—I made more money than Doug did. In the beginning, it was only a couple of thousand more each year. As time went by, though, the gap grew. He was a musician and, for the school years, the stay-at-home parent for our two kids. I made the long commute from the distant suburbs to my job at a magazine in Philadelphia, and the bigger bucks.
That meant I paid the lion's share of bills. And while on paper the situation looked fair, it never felt fair to me. I couldn't shake the sensation that Doug wasn't doing his part—that he was holding back. Oh, I don't mean in big ways. It was the little stuff that rankled. Why was he buying coffee at Dunkin' Donuts instead of making it at home? Why had he bought $80 sneakers instead of putting that money toward bills?
I was so uncomfortable talking about money with him, though, that I never asked these questions out loud. It was awkward to earn more than he did. And though we'd both agreed that I would work and he would (mostly) stay home, I couldn't rid myself of the belief that he should do a better job of supporting our family financially.
I found myself obsessively tallying which of us paid for what each month. Why, if I bought the groceries, did he put such pricey items on the shopping list? How come I always ponied up for the Christmas presents—for his family and mine? I became a quid pro quo ho, right down to the level of "Why is he drinking the wine I bought instead of the beer he did?" When we were relatively flush, things were easy between us. But when times turned tight, my resentment would flare: How come I couldn't afford a haircut at a decent salon? Why was I still wearing dresses from 10 years ago? It just wasn't fair.
My focus on fairness is likely the product of growing up the middle of three sisters. Nan was the oldest one, smart and beautiful; she was voted prom princess in high school. Jan was the baby of the family, coddled and unbearably cute. I was stuck between them, a stolid, solid introvert who was invariably racked with jealousy, inwardly seething: Why her and not me?
But the marital ledger-keeping was also about control. I don't like to fly. I don't even like to ride in cars while other people drive; I want to be behind the wheel. Somewhere in my psyche is a real fear of being blindsided, by a tractor-trailer or by fate—like getting socked with a bill I can't pay.
While our separate-bank-accounts system seemed convenient at first, over time it made me small-minded and mean. Doug, the kids, even the dog all learned that bill time was the really bad time of the month for me. I got downright bitchy as I wrote checks, sealed envelopes and stamped them. I felt no joy in providing for my family, only a constant sense that I was giving more than I was getting.
Some experts say one clue to long-lasting happiness is to feel you're putting more than your spouse does into the relationship. Those experts never asked me. I was after some elusive, all-encompassing tote board on which everything each of us did would have an actuarial value assigned—three loads of laundry, 30 points! clean up vomit, 85! pay for health insurance, 4,325!—and I'd finally get the credit I deserved for all that I did.
Money complicates marriage. A stay-at-home-mom friend of mine went for years getting a (very, very) small weekly food allowance from her husband for them and their three boys. She was always scrimping to pay for meals, but because she didn't work outside the home, she was reluctant to ask for more grocery cash. Another friend enlisted me to go by her house on the day her credit card bill arrived to intercept it from the mailbox. She didn't want her husband to find out how much she'd spent.
It was hard for me to put myself in their shoes: Who'd tolerate such an overbearing spouse? But there are other, less obvious ways to pull the purse strings, like the hissy fits I threw when it was time to pay bills.
Or my secret bank account. I put a little something into it from every paycheck and added what I could from freelance writing. It wasn't money the family would miss; I never accumulated more than $10,000. I told myself it was for emergencies. It turns out I'm not alone: In an online study, 31 percent of people who combined finances with their significant other said they had been deceptive about money.
But even with my private cushion, dealings with Doug over money were strained. He'd wait until the last minute to tell me which bills it was my turn to pay. Who can blame him, considering how surly I'd get? Yet when he waited toolong and we wound up with a late fee, I was furious: How careless of him!
My bitterness was a passive-aggressive rebuke to Doug's manhood. What was he supposed to say in response? "I vacuumed today!" "I got the kids off to school!" Those household and child-care duties that feminists are always insisting go undervalued by men were being undervalued . . . by me.
And my secret bank account only made things worse. I was so protective of what was in there that even when we were hit with unexpected expenses, I held that money back.
Then, several years ago, our family ledger got seriously out of whack. Just as the nation plunged into recession, our older child started college. Doug's music business had dwindled to almost nil, thanks to changing consumer tastes. His attempts to make up the deficit with part-time jobs—school bus driver, basketball referee—couldn't close the gap. I never said "Get a real job," but I sure thought it.
Instead, he went back to school. It took four years, but he earned a second college degree, this one in physical therapy. He graduated the same week our daughter did. He got a good job, with much better benefits than my employer had ever offered. (Hooray! Decent health care!) My share of the bills went down; his share went up. And all at once, pay-the-bills day wasn't fraught with hostility anymore.
Of course, our tension over money dissolved only when Doug began earning more of it and we approached a 50-50 split of the bills. Which makes me wonder: How much of my resentment was due to some inner disappointment that I hadn't managed to get swept up by a prince and provided for? That was what I dreamed about when I was a young girl. I felt the allure again, years later, as my daughter ran through the Disney princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine. I wanted to whisper an addendum to "They lived happily ever after": "because she always held on to a little money of her own."
Who knows why I thought that? Maybe I was just reading too many alarming news reports on how divorce wallops women financially, with about one in five falling into poverty. Or maybe I absorbed it from my mom. I don't recall her ever recommending having a bank account of one's own, but it's the sort of thing she would have approved of. She didn't care for fairy tales; she liked math and hard data. She raised three daughters who all kept their maiden name when they married. Her death from cancer, just months after I met Doug, felt like an abandonment of the first order. That's what having my pin money was: ballast against the worst that life can hand you. If Doug ever left me, he wouldn't leave me destitute.
I found myself thinking of my mom at Doug's graduation—from a hard-luck commuter college like the one she went to, not a fancy liberal arts institution like our daughter's. The valedictorian of Doug's class stood on the podium and told her inspirational tale: a young single mom, trapped by circumstances yet never giving up, always pressing on. As I listened, I realized: Doug's story is as good as hers. It could be him up there.
For the first time, I recognizedwhat a remarkable thing he'd done in starting college all over again at the age of 51. "You could have just sat on the sofa and drunk beer. A lot of guys would," my sister Nan's husband told Doug admiringly. Instead, he had invested in the future of our family. More than that, he was showing the kids and me how deep his commitment to us is—deep enough for him to give up music, drive an hour and a half to get to his classes, suffer through statistics and biology and (brr!) physiology. Suddenly, I was ashamed to be squirreling away that money.
We midlife women occupy such an odd niche. We have one foot in Mad Men and one in Girls, and that has made it hard for us to feel at home anywhere. What does it mean, we wonder, to be the "head of household"? How are we expected to contain such multitudes, to be feminine and feminist, serious yet fun, sexy and tech savvy? How do we build our men up without pushing ourselves down? What do we tell our children about work and home?
But it hasn't been easy for our cohort of men either. Look at how pliant Doug has had to be, finding a definition of manhood that includes housekeeper and bandleader, college student and dad of college student, husband and monthly supplicant to my checkbook. If it's been exciting not to be bound by expectations the way our parents were, it's also been harrowing to juggle new roles and possibilities. No wonder getting rescued by a prince and installed in a palace is still appealing.
We recently refinanced our mortgage. Let me rephrase that: Doug refinanced our mortgage. I signed the papers with him, but he did the legwork that's going to save us thousands of dollars over the next 10 years. Throughout the process, I was pretty princess-like. It felt good. By coincidence, our new mortgage holder doesn't offer the "We'll withhold your property taxes" feature our old lender did. So Doug and I have opened a joint bank account, a place for us to park the tax money—him contributing some months, me others—that comes due every year.
Doug and I also discovered how to electronically transfer funds between our checking accounts. OMG, commingling! But it hasn't been as traumatic as I feared. It feels . . . OK. It feels grownup, in fact. Considering Doug's commitment to me, I'm ready to make a commitment in return—a financial renewal of our vows, if you will. I'm doing my best not to tally his-and-hers on that imaginary tote board. I try not to stress about what's "fair." Ours is a Marxist household these days: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. It may not be the perfect construct, but it works for us. What it took for me to understand that was the enormous output of effort Doug made in starting all over again.
So long as we were starting over, I finally came clean to Doug about my secret bank account. He wasn't upset. After 30 years, he's come to accept my need for control. He's perfectly happy that I have the account if it helps me feel more secure. But you know, it's the strangest thing. I find I don't mind sharing my pin money anymore. In fact, I just dipped into it for the down payment on his—our—new car.

Jack O'Neill began surfing in 1952, before functional surf apparel was invented. While working for the Army Air Corps, O'Neill discovered neoprene foam in a DC-3 airplane. He then combined the neoprene carpeting with duct tape to create the first neoprene wetsuit.
Demand for O'Neill's neoprene wetsuits grew rapidly and he began a business selling the O'Neill wetsuits out of his garage. By 1980, he was a leader in the beach apparel industry with a thriving business. Since then, O'Neill™ has become a widely recognized and respected brand in the surf industry, continually creating new and innovative products. In addition to O'Neill wetsuits, they carry O'Neill boardshorts, O'Neill dresses, O'Neill hats, O'Neill rash guards, O'Neill swimsuits, O'Neill water shoes, O'Neill sandals, O'Neill life jackets and O'Neill t-shirts.
In addition to his business success, O'Neill also created a non-profit foundation for kids. O'Neill developed the O'Neill Sea Odyssey Program: a free, educational cruise that introduces kids to the microbiology of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, beginning at Jack O'Neill's doorstep.

Forest Whitaker
Longview, Texas
"I can play a man who's despicable. But I'll still look inside him to find a point of connection. If I can find that kernel, audiences will relate to me."
- Forest Whitaker
Though he's worked opposite such legends as Tom Cruise, Ben Kingsley and John Travolta, Forest Whitaker solidified his own spot on the A-list following his career-defining performance as dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland and roles in flicks like The Great Debaters and Street Kings.
Forest Whitaker BiographyForest Steven Whitaker was born on July 15, 1961, in Longview, Texas. Along with his two younger brothers and older sister, Forest Whitaker moved to Los Angeles when he was just a small boy. And though he would spend the majority of his time in L.A., Forest Whitaker and his siblings would often spend their summer holidays back in Texas, where they would live with their grandparents and help out on the family farm.
As an adolescent, Forest Whitaker didn't show much interest in the world of acting and instead devoted much of his spare time to endeavors of a distinctly athletic nature. His increasingly hulking body made him an ideal candidate for football, and the budding sports superstar soon found himself playing opposite future NFL star Jay Schroeder on his high school team.
Following high school, Forest Whitaker successfully applied for a football scholarship at California State Polytechnic University, but was eventually forced to drop out following a devastating back injury. He didn't spend long feeling sorry for himself, however, and he quickly enrolled at the University of Southern California, where he was to study opera as a tenor. It was there that Forest Whitaker discovered his passion for acting, following a stint within the school's Drama Conservatory. Forest Whitaker's obvious talents as an actor earned him a scholarship at the California branch of the prestigious Drama Studio London.
forest whitaker in fast times at ridgemont highOnce his educational career was over and done with, Forest Whitaker devoted himself full-time to acting -- which meant that he became a regular fixture on the Tinseltown audition circuit. Forest Whitaker made his professional debut in 1982 on an episode of the short-lived sitcom Making the Grade. Later that year, the would-be actor managed to land small, successful roles in both Everybody Gets It in the End and the cult classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High, in which he appeared alongside future stars Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nicolas Cage. Forest Whitaker spent the next several years working steadily, appearing on popular television shows such as Cagney & Lacey and Hill Street Blues, as well as in long-since forgetten projects like Vision Quest (1985) and 1985's North and South, a miniseries starring Patrick Swayze, Kirstie Alley and Johnny Cash.
forest whitaker in the color of moneyBy the mid-'80s, Forest Whitaker had amassed an impressive list of credits and consequently found himself being asked to audition for increasingly high-profile projects. 1986 proved to be a banner year for Forest Whitaker as the actor appeared in Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money opposite A-listers Tom Cruise and Paul Newman, and Oliver Stone's Platoon alongside future superstars Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe and Johnny Depp. Forest Whitaker soon became a familiar face among ardent moviegoers, popping up in Stakeout (1987), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) and Bloodsport (1988). In 1988, Forest Whitaker landed his first lead role in Clint Eastwood's Bird, a docudrama revolving around the life of acclaimed jazz musician Charlie "Bird" Parker. The role transformed Forest Whitaker into a respected thespian almost overnight, landing him the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival as well as a Golden Globe nomination.
forest whitaker in the crying gameUnfortunately, Forest Whitaker's post-Bird choices weren't exactly stellar; he appeared in, among others, such forgettable efforts as 1990's Downtown, 1991's Diary of a Hitman with Sharon Stone and 1992's medical drama Article 99 alongside Ray Liotta, Kiefer Sutherland and John C. McGinley. Forest Whitaker's luck began to change in 1992 following an appearance in the critically acclaimed drama The Crying Game, in which the actor played a captured British soldier who befriends the IRA agent who has taken him hostage. Forest Whitaker worked steadily over the next several years, popping up in hits such as 1994's Blown Away alongside Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones, 1995's Species with Natasha Henstridge, and the 1999 art-house smash Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. Forest Whitaker's status as a budding filmmaker in his own right was cemented during this time, following directorial efforts like 1995's Waiting to Exhale and 1998's Hope Floats.
forest whitaker on the shieldBy the time 2000 rolled around, Forest Whitaker had long since established himself as a bankable character actor -- though this didn't stop him from making a few bad choices, a fact exemplified by his appearance in the John Travolta debacle Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000). A short-lived stint as host of an updated incarnation of The Twilight Zone led to a key role on the gritty FX series The Shield, in which he played a dedicated cop determined to bring down Michael Chiklis' Detective Vic Mackey. While his TV work was steady, Forest Whitaker's esteem within the film community also continued to grow thanks to appearances in smash hits like Panic Room (2002) and Phone Booth (2002).
forest whitaker in the last king of scotland2006 proved to be a pivotal year for Forest Whitaker, as the actor turned in the most electrifying performance of his career in The Last King of Scotland. Cast as ruthless dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker won over audiences and critics alike with his searing work, and even managed to walk away with an Oscar for Best Actor.
Then in 2007, Forest Whitaker appeared in three films: The Air I Breathe, Ripple Effect and The Great Debaters.

I enjoyed the DVDs and the good range of subjects that it covered. I was disappointed by the way the DVDs were packaged.The discs are not anchored and slide all over the place.I would rather you change the DVD holder to one with sprockets and do away with the enclosed map.It seems a shame to see this collection damaged by scratchs because of its packaging.

Matiz SardinesWhen it comes to fish in cans, Spaniards do it better. These delicate sardines from Galicia taste almost as good as fish straight off the grill, and don't have any of the oily or salty finish that makes other sardines so unpleasant. Moist and tender, they are tasty enough to eat all by themselves, but would add flavor to any pasta sauce, salad, or sandwich that calls for a hint of the sea. Read More

Classes are a combination of lectures and guided field trips. Students explore first-hand the historical sites and rich resources of this renowned city. London has so many restaurants, sporting events, museums, theatres and outdoor markets that it is impossible to experience it all in one semester. Photo Gallery - London Group Fall 2015 Program Director Dr. Gary Diomandes+ More Dr. Gary Diomandes is a professor of Theatre Arts & Dance at Saint Mary's University. He has been teaching at Saint Mary's since 1988 and has been the supervisor of the London Theatre Program since 1994. He is available to assist students whenever needed. Dr. Diomandes teaches classes in the program as well. Academics/Courses Students receive 15-16 credits for the 12-week semester and attend classes three to five days a week. This allows two to four days a week for field trips and self-directed travel.+ More Each class meets for approximately 2-3 hours, once a week. All courses are taught and graded by adjunct SMU faculty and the Program Director, Dr. Diomandes. Attendance at class meetings and other activities is MANDATORY. For each course, grades are given on an A-F basis. The final grade for a course is usually based on a paper, examination or project given during the middle and/or end of the semester.

|Vandals wrap up Cougar Classic
Pullman, Wash. – Sophie Vickers reached the singles championship match and teamed up with Belen Barcenilla to win the doubles draw in the Gray flight to lead the Idaho women's tennis team at the Cougar Classic over the weekend.
Vickers won her first four singles matches, including a tight 6-4, 6-5 semifinal win over her teammate Barcenilla to reach the championship match, where she fell to Washington State's Lize Leenknecht. In doubles play, Vickers and Barcenilla won all four of their matches, including a 6-2 in the finals over a WSU duo to win the Gray Flight's main draw.
Idaho senior Victoria Lozano and freshman Galina Bykova each fell in the singles quarterfinals in the Crimson Flight after winning their first two matches, and the two paired up to reach the doubles semifinals.
"It was a very positive weekend," Idaho coach Myriam Sopel said. "They made great adjustments from last weekend and they applied what we worked on during the week of practice."
Almudena Sanz won her first-round singles match in the Crimson Flight and Rita Bermudez reached the quarterfinal of the Gray Flight with wins in her first two matches.
The Vandals will return to Pullman next weekend for the Washington State Invite Oct. 4-6.

Get educated on HP's 'Business of Education' for Higher Ed
Success in higher education requires sustainability in a variety of areas: improving student outcomes, educational excellence to attract and retain the best faculty and strategic planning for the future. To achieve and maintain acceptable marks in these areas an institution must become proficient in what HP calls the 'Business of Education'.
We have found that many institutions are still running on a combination of legacy and new applications that are hosted on disparate proprietary networks which often cause: interoperability, visibility and security challenges. Network chaos like this makes it challenging to support contemporary learning environments such as media-rich interactive courses, distance learning, as well as essential services such as on-line administrative services and emergency notification systems.
The HP Business of Education is a cost conscience strategy that enables an institution to balance the need to offer a mobile, 24x7x365 accessible network that supports real-time, collaborative learning and back office applications, while providing all the online tools that students and faculty expect. Below are three steps of the strategy that HP has assisted Higher Education institutions in accomplishing:
- Improve ROI
- Transform the educational experience
- Support evolving campus environments through the use of rich media communications
The HP Business of Education and FlexNetwork architecture enables you to design and build best-in-class networks that align with your education initiatives and budget. The HP FlexNetwork architecture allows institutions to segment their networks into modular building blocks. FlexCampus converges wired and wireless networks to deliver media-enhanced, secure identity based access. FlexBranch converges network functionality and services, delivering an enhanced network learning experience for distance learning and satellite campuses.

Top 10 Hottest Baseball Cards July 2010
- Details
- Hits: 6450
|Top 10 Hottest Cards
-Baseball Cards on eBay -
July 2010
|1 - 2010 Bowman Stephen Strasburg Red Autograph 1/1 ~ Last Month (5)
The 2010 Bowman Red Refractor debuted on eBay in the month of June, and the bidding approached $1 million. The seller of the card got concerned about the authenticity of the bids and decided to sell the card with Huggins and Scott Auctions in July. The final price ended at $17,000.00. While the $17K is far from $1 million, it's still a staggering sum for a modern day baseball card.
Lot Number: 1A
Starting Bid: $9,000.00
Final Price: $17,000.00
Auction Ended: July 28, 2010
|2 - 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Beethoven 1/1 DNA Relic Hair ~ Last Month (NR)
This was the most watched card on eBay during the month of July. While it's not a "baseball player" card, it still drew significant attention from both collectors and historians alike. The final auction ended with over 700 watchers which is a huge number even for eBay's most popular baseball card auctions.
The seller of the card, billys_sport_treasures, owns a hobby shop in Minnesota also aptly called Billy's Sports Treasures. The shop owner said he pulled the card while opening a promotional pack for his customers.
Watchers: 728
Final Price: $4,050.02
Auction Ended: July 18
|3 - 2010 Allen & Ginter Chipper Jones Cabinet Name Plate 1/1 ~ Last Month (NR)
The Beethoven card was the most watched trading card, then I guess, technically, this Chipper Jones Cabinet Name Plate card was the most watched "baseball" card. This stunning over sized card features almost the entire name plate of J-O-N-E-S on the front.
My guess is that a big time Chipper Jones or Atlanta Braves fan picked this card up and will keep it in a personal collection for many years to come.
Watchers: 447
Final Price: $702.00
Auction Ended: July 6
|4 - Stephen Strasburg Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (2)
At the end of July, Stephen Strasburg was placed on the D.L. with arm trouble and some of the luster and hype went out the window. Prices for his 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter SP Mini and his 2010 Topps Tribute Autograph/Relic Redemption have still been high even after the injury.
5 - 2010 Bowman Chrome Bryce Harper USA Superfractor 1/1 ~ Last Month (3)
|6 - 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball ~ Last Month (NR)
Since it's debut in 2006, Topps Allen & Ginter has been one of the most anticipated sets of the year. The 2010 version did create some controversy because the Strasburg mini cards were very short printed. Some collectors were upset because Topps did not make that announcement until after the set came out. Overall, it's a fun box to open, and this month the two most watched cards on eBay were from '10 Allen & Ginter.
|7 - Buster Posey Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (NR)
The SF Giants top prospect took over when Bengie Molina was traded to the Rangers, and the former #5 overall pick has delivered the goods. He has shown his variety of tools and should be a mainstay in the Giants lineup for many years to come.
|8 - 2010 Bowman Baseball ~ Last Month (4)
This set is still on fire. You can still sell retail boxes on eBay for more than what you can buy them for at Walmart and Target. Even though a large amount of the big Strasburg pulls have already been scooped, collectors are still paying a premium for this product. With 2010 Bowman Chrome on the horizon, be sure to get your boxes or cases early!
9 - Michael Stanton Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (NR)
|10 - 2010 Topps Tribute Baseball~ Last Month (NR)
I am not a big fan of this product, but it's been somewhat hot during the first two weeks of it's release. The boxes I've seen opened on YouTube were mostly duds and not worth the $300.00 +++ price tag. Be very careful when buying this product. Don't expect to see it back on the August edition of the hot list either.
