All My Sons
by Arthur Miller
All My Sons Act 1 Summary
- The stage directions describe the Keller home as situated in an American suburb. It's roughly August 1947.
- The house is comfortable and well-kept, as is the yard. Downstage left stands an apple tree stump. The trunk and branches are toppled beside it.
- Joe Keller is in his yard reading the want ads. He's a self-made businessman of about sixty. Doctor Jim Bayliss, his neighbor, is about forty. He's reading the paper too.
- Joe's neighbor on the other side, Frank, enters. He's 32.
- The neighbors chat about the weather and the want ads.
- Frank notices the felled tree. It was struck by lightning in the night. He observes how strange it is that the tree planted in memory of Larry was struck down in his birth month. Larry is Joe's son. He would have been twenty-seven this August, which Frank remembers because he's working on Larry's horoscope.
- What Frank is trying to figure out – at the request of Kate, Joe's wife – is whether the day on which Larry was reported missing was his "favorable day," when, astrologically speaking, odds are he wouldn't die.
- This piques skeptical Jim's interest – he doesn't buy it.
- Talk turns to Annie, a young woman who used to live next door. She's visiting the Kellers and is upstairs asleep for now.
- Jim makes a quip about how the block could use a pretty face. Just then his fat wife enters, nagging him about a patient's phone call.
- Frank's wife Lydia comes in, also curious about Annie. Is she engaged? She was Larry's betrothed.
- Chris Keller enters. He's 32. He starts reading the book section.
- Joe and Chris start to talk about Larry's tree when eight-year-old neighbor Bert enters. He's Joe's "deputy" and tattles on some of the other kids on the street. He asks to see the jail Joe keeps in his basement, but Joe won't let him.
- Bert exits; talk turns back to the tree. Mom saw it last night, says Chris. She was outside when it broke, then she came in and cried.
- Kate Keller still believes Larry is coming back, even though it's been three years. Chris thinks they should puncture the illusion; Joe wants to keep it intact.
- Chris sits his dad down. Listen up, pop, he says – I'm going to propose to Annie. But Mom still thinks she's Larry's girl.
- Chris threatens to leave town – and the family business – if his father doesn't encourage his mother to support this marriage. Joe is shocked.
- Kate enters, a woman in her early fifties. She's happy the tree blew down, because it affirms for her that Larry is still alive. They were in a rush to memorialize him with that tree.
- Kate and Chris tiptoe around a discussion of Annie. Kate doesn't want to acknowledge that Chris might be courting her.
- Kate recalls a dream she had about Larry last night. When she heard the wind, she imagined it was Larry flying by in his fighter plane.
- Kate turns to Joe and wags her finger at him: they shouldn't have planted that tree. They gave up too soon.
- When Chris exits to get his mother an aspirin, she turns on Joe. Chris better not be planning to propose to Annie. Joe says he doesn't know anything more than she does – an outright lie.
- Kate wants Joe to believe with her that Larry will come back. He asks her to calm down.
- They're again interrupted by Bert, who brings up the jail. Kate reacts sharply, telling him there is no jail there.
- Ann enters from the house. She's beautiful and beautifully dressed. She's been living in New York.
- When Chris shows his admiration for Ann, Kate comments lightly that she has put on a little weight.
- Ann remarks on the little changes in the neighborhood: trees, a missing hammock. She's introduced to Jim, who now lives in her old house.
- When Ann mentions Larry, Kate is relieved. Eventually she asks Ann directly if she's waiting for Larry. Ann says no.
- Frank enters and dispels the tension. A little small talk, and then Frank mentions Ann's father. He's in prison.
- Ann is sensitive; she wants to know if the neighbors still talk about her father and his crime. Chris and Joe say no. Ann remembers the neighbors screaming "Murderers" at her father, Steve, and at Joe.
- In a long monologue, Joe recalls the day he was cleared of the crime. He and Steve had been accused of selling cracked cylinder heads to the Air Force, causing twenty-one planes to crash. Joe was exonerated; Ann's father was imprisoned. When Joe returned home, he walked down the street with defiance and pride. He suggests the same for Steve when he's released.
- Ann admits that neither she nor her brother keep in touch with their father anymore. They blame him for knowingly shipping out faulty parts, resulting in the death of so many American pilots. She wonders aloud whether this was responsible for Larry's death.
- That really sets Kate off. Ann should never say that again.
- Keller tells his version of the story. There was a mad rush for parts, and when the cylinders came out cracked, cowardly Steve just decided to send them out. He was afraid that Joe and the military would be displeased with the mistake, so he kept quiet about it.
- Chris breaks in. He just wants a change of subject. So they talk about steak and champagne instead, and Keller exits.
- The long-awaited proposal occurs. Chris asks; Ann says yes. Now they just have to figure out how to tell Kate.
- Chris has something to get off his chest. It's about the war. Leading a company, he lost all his men. Then he returned to the States and felt that nobody noticed; that the sacrifice of the men who died meant nothing substantial to the people at home. He has survivor's guilt. Chris feels as though he doesn't deserve life and doesn't deserve her.
- Ann sets him straight – he does deserve her. And he better kiss her right now.
- Joe interrupts them. There's a phone call from George, Ann's brother.
- Chris tells Joe the news of his engagement to Ann. But Joe is preoccupied with this phone call. He's afraid George will want to open up his father's case again, and that Ann is on his side.
- Ann emerges. George is coming there to settle something. He wouldn't say what.
- This rattles Joe and Kate. Kate tells Joe to be smart.

Toronto's first Open Streets program has two confirmed dates to close out the summer in the city. Sunday August 17 and Sunday August 31 from 8am - 12noon, Canada's most iconic intersection will be closed to vehicular traffic.
Open Streets programs, also known as Ciclovias, open streets to people and close them to cars encouraging participation in physical activity and healthy recreation. They are free, regularly occurring programs, and offer communities the opportunity to experience their city streets in a whole new way. At Open Streets there are no finish lines, parades, or sidewalk sales which set Open Streets apart from other events like marathons or street festivals. Open Streets can provide stimulus to local businesses, offer a setting for greater civic participation and integration, and build support for the provision of broader transportation choices.
Medellin, Colombia is the birth place of Ciclovia, but since its inception many international cities have since adopted and adapted the tradition as their own, such as New York and Ottawa. Toronto now joins with Open Streets TO 2014, which will be the city's largest free recreation program, an initiative that opens the streets to people and closes them to vehicles. The streets become "paved parks" where residents can mix and mingle to enjoy the streets without fear of vehicle interruption.
On Sunday Aug. 17th and Sunday Aug. 31st, 2014, a 5 km route that takes in parts of Bloor Street and Yonge Street will be open for people to run, walk, bike, and play. A series of Activity Hubs will encourage interaction by way of pop-up stations with participatory programming generated by local community groups, businesses, institutes and organizations. Be sure to support local businesses within this area to show them sales are not affected by not having vehicle traffic.
Volunteers are needed to help make this happen. Click here for more information.

Hematogenous carcinoma metastasis is associated with tumor cell emboli formation, which is now known to be facilitated by selectins. P-selectin-mediated interactions of platelets with cancer cells are based mostly on mucin- and glycosaminoglycan-type selectin ligands. We previously showed that mouse colon carcinoma cells (MC-38) carry P-selectin ligands of nonmucin origin, which were not identified. Here we show that P-selectin ligands recognized on MC-38 cells are sulfated glycolipids, thereby facilitating experimental metastasis in a syngeneic mouse model. Metabolic inhibition of sulfation by incubation of cells with sodium chlorate almost completely abrogated P-selectin binding. Metabolic labeling of MC-38 cells with (35)S sulfate revealed only a single band as detected by high-performance thin layer chromatography analysis of a total lipid extract. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight/time-of-flight analysis (MALDI-TOF-TOF) analysis of the purified sulfate-containing lipid fraction identified the selectin ligand to be a sulfated galactosylceramide SM4 (HSO(3)-3Galbeta-1Cer). Modulation of glycolipid biosynthesis in MC-38 cells altered P-selectin binding, thereby confirming sulfoglycolipids to be major P-selectin ligands. In addition, P-selectin was also found to recognize lactosylceramide sulfate SM3 (HSO(3)-3Galbeta-4Glcbeta-1Cer) and gangliotriaosylceramide sulfate SM2 [GalNAcbeta-4(HSO(3)-3)Galbeta-4Glcbeta-1Cer] in human hepatoma cells. Finally, the enzymatic removal of sulfation from the cell surface of MC-38 cells resulted in decreased P-selectin binding and led to attenuation of metastasis. Thus, SM4 sulfatide serves as a native ligand for P-selectin contributing to cell-cell interactions and to facilitation of metastasis.

Hollingsworth, Crump Steal the Show at Cardinal Invite
Jan. 19, 2013
Jan. 19, 2013
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Seniors Anthony Hollingsworth and Andrea Crump each won multiple events, highlighting the UIC men's and women's track & field teams at Friday night's Cardinal Invitational in Naperville. Hollingsworth took home a pair of individual titles, while Crump continued her momentum from last weekend, winning three events.
The event, which lasted until the early morning Saturday, ended with UIC finishing fourth on the men's side (82), and third in the women's team competition (87).
"We had much more competition this weekend," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "The team continues to show improvement and I am excited to see what more we have left in the weeks ahead.
"Andrea Crump was phenomenal again, taking three events against some very good competition. I was very excited about her performances because she hardly had a break but still came up with great marks. Tony Hollingsworth showed me the work he put in is paying off. He is one of the hardest workers on the team and will do whatever it takes to be a success."
Hollingsworth captured the individual titles in both the 60-meter dash (6.91 seconds) and the 200-meter dash (22.37 seconds). Meanwhile Crump claimed medalist honors in the long jump (5.69 meters), triple jump (11.95 meters) and 60-meter dash (7.80 seconds).
Along with Crump's standout performance, the Flames also picked up a pair of additional first-place finishes on the women's side, including Aimee Schuh in the 60-meter hurdles (9.12 seconds), and the combination of Emma Preston, Michelle Kanpczyk, Jaime Johnson and Tess Ehrhardt in the distance medley relay (12:35.51).
Angelos Karkalis also posted a strong showing, finishing third in the 1-Mile Run (4:17.59) and second in the 800-meter run (1:56.01).
UIC will travel to Kenosha, Wis., to take part in the annual Todd Metzger Carthage Invitational next Friday (Jan. 25), with races getting underway at 3:30 p.m. CST.

Dassault had opened a missile division in St Cloud on 15 September 1957. In 1962, the French government asked Dassault to develop a ballistic missile on behalf of Israel. The result was the MD 620 Jericho ballistic missile, designed to carry a warhead of a still-classified mass over a range of 500 km. The first test of a single-stage version of the missile took place on 1 February 1 1965 from Ile du Levant. Tests of the two-stage version began on 16 March 1966. The MD 620 was France's first ballistic missile with an airborne digital computer. This program was cancelled in January 1969 following France's weapon embargo on Israel. Dassault achieved valuable experience on the project, becoming familiar with aerodynamic and thermodynamic phenomena at speeds of up to Mach 6, and ballistic missile steering and inertial guidance technology.
The first stage (presumably a solid propellant booster) had a length of 4.05 m and a weight of 1,950 kg, and the second stage (presumably liquid fuelled) had a length of 5.0 m and a weight of 4,100 kg. The payload assembly had a length of 4.35 m and a weight of 650 kg.'
Failures: 7. Success Rate: 70.83%. First Fail Date: 1965-12-23. Last Fail Date: 1994-09-15. Launch data is: continuing. Standard warhead: 750 kg (1,650 lb). Maximum range: 500 km (310 mi). Boost Propulsion: Solid rocket. Maximum speed: 6,800 kph (4,200 mph). Initial Operational Capability: 1973. Total Number Built: 100.
Location: Be'er Yaakov, Israel.
Status: Active.
Gross mass: 6,700 kg (14,700 lb).
Payload: 750 kg (1,650 lb).
Height: 13.40 m (43.90 ft).
Diameter: 0.80 m (2.62 ft).
Apogee: 100 km (60 mi).

Each year the University of Wyoming Athletics Department focuses on three guiding principles as its teams prepare to represent the state of Wyoming on and off the field of competition. Those three principles are Excellence, Pride, Tradition.
Fans will see those three words adorning signage in and around UW's Athletic facilities. Along with this commitment by UW coaches, student-athletes and athletic department staff to focus on these three principles, Cowboy and Cowgirl fans are asked to focus on Five Points of Poke Pride to help create an atmosphere of excellence at UW sporting events.
The Five Points of Poke Pride are:
Wear Gold -- You help create an atmosphere that shows your "Pride" for Wyoming Athletics and provides a visual display of support for the Cowboys and Cowgirls.
Arrive Early -- When you arrive early you enjoy the overall experience of a gameday, including: pregame tailgating, Pepsi Tailgate Park, the Wyoming Athletics Legacy Wall and the Cowboy Walk, while at the same time helping avoid last minute rushes to find parking or to gain entrance to UW sporting venues.
Know Ragtime Cowboy Joe -- It is one of the great "Traditions" of University of Wyoming Athletics and is one of the great fight songs in all of college sports.
Respect the Game -- By showing respect for fellow Wyoming fans, opposing teams and their fans, and Cowboy and Cowgirl coaches and student-athletes you are respecting the game.
Support UW Through Season Tickets and the Cowboy Joe Club -- By donating to the Cowboy Joe Club, you are directly assisting in the funding of student-athlete scholarships, and by purchasing season tickets you are helping provide the best facilities and resources for the Cowboys and Cowgirls to achieve "Excellence" in their respective sports and in their chosen fields of study.

Last weekend we visited Flanders for the first time to attend the Cactus Festival in Bruges and the Gent Jazz Festival. Of course we also took the time to wander around the picturesque medieval city of Bruges including the hub of the city – the Markt or Market Square which is lined with beautiful buildings and packed with tourists. These horse carriages brightened up a grey day.

Recently my 13 yr old Carrier A/C devolved a leak and I chose to replace the system rather than track down the leak and repair the coil. I had been reading about doing manual J calculations and how contractors are scared to death to undersize. I had been talking to co-workers about this and it's an uphill battle getting them to think different than 1 ton per 500sq ft. So I decided to take confidence in correct sizing and "put my money where my mouth is" and install a 2 ton sized…Continue

"Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker, 40 and his 38-year-old friend Roger Rodas' autopsy results are in, according to a Jan. 3 NBC News report. The duo did not have any alcohol or drugs in their systems at the time of the car crash, and their deaths on Nov. 30, but the Los Angeles County coroner's report released on Friday indicates that the Porsche they were driving traveled at an "unsafe speed," of "approximately 100+ mph" prior to the crash, and "almost split in half" upon impact.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the coroner's report notes that Roger Rodas, lost control of the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT "for unknown reasons" as it sped east on Hercules Street.
Walker died of "severe blunt head, neck and chest trauma," and sustained a broken arm, wrist, jaw and ribs, according to the coroner's report. The fire burned his body beyond recognition. Rodas sustained similar injuries, plus a fractured skull.
Walker and Rodas had reportedly taken the Porsche for a short ride, during one of Walker's charity events.

HARRISONBURG — Attorney General Mark Herring announced Thursday that Virginia would change course and not support a ban on same-sex marriage in federal court.
"I believe the freedom to marry is a fundamental right," the Democrat said during a press conference in Richmond.
A voter referendum, following General Assembly approval, is needed to change the state constitution to allow gay marriage. In 2006, Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment to recognize marriage only as between heterosexual couples.
But the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which will hear arguments on a challenge to the same-sex ban next week, could also rule the amendment unconstitutional, striking it down.
Herring said his decision is based on a thorough legal review, and not political opinion. His predecessor, Republican Ken Cuccinelli, adamantly supported keeping marriage between a man and a woman.
Herring's opponent in last year's election, Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Harrisonburg, would have kept the same course as Cuccinelli.
"It is deeply inappropriate for the attorney general to use state resources to actively oppose a duly ratified constitutional amendment. Through this decision, Herring is effectively seeking to unilaterally reverse the actions of the General Assembly in adopting the amendment, and the people of Virginia in ratifying it," Obenshain said in a prepared statement.

Senior guards Olivia Grayson (pictures) and Tyria Snow were two of 50 graduating seniors invited to participate in the 'So You Want To Be A Coach' program by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
March 1, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - With their college careers winding down, Tulane University women's basketball standouts Olivia Grayson and Tyria Snow will have an opportunity to get a glimpse into a potential future career as the Green Wave due were named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's 11th Annual "So You Want To Be A Coach" class.
The Tulane tandem are two of 50 graduating seniors from around the nation selected to the program, and the participants will participate in a three-day workshop in New Orleans from April 5-7 in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Final Four and the WBCA National Convention.
The objectives of the "So You Want To Be A Coach" program are to increase the understanding and application of skills necessary to secure coaching positions in women's basketball, increase the understanding and awareness of competencies necessary for success in coaching, introduce female basketball players to coaches and administrators, as well as raise awareness of the existing talent pool of female student-athletes who have a passion and interest in coaching the sport.
"So" participants will learn about recruiting, the administrative side of coaching, how to get hired, skill development, rule regulation and how to balance life both on and off the court. College coaches speaking at the event include head coaches Coquese Washington of Penn State, Audra Smith of UAB and Joanne McCallie of Duke, as well as assistant coaches Richard Henderson of Oklahoma State and Shimmy Gray-Miller of Nebraska.
The 50-member "class" consists of student-athletes who have exhausted their basketball eligibility at four-year institutions or have graduated within the past year. The participants were selected based on their academics, contributions to women's basketball on and off the court, professional resume and a written recommendation from their head coach.
Grayson and Snow are the only players from Louisiana-based universities to be invited to "So You Want To Be A Coach" seminar and are joined by fellow Conference USA student-athlete Jessica Goswitz of Rice.
The Green Wave return to action on Sunday, March 3, when they close out the home portion of the 2012-13 regular season against Southern Miss at 11 a.m. in Devlin Fieldhouse. The game against the Golden Eagles will be televised live nationally on the CBS Sports Network, and the senior class of Grayson, Snow, Janique Kautsky and Brittany McDonald will be honored with a special ceremony.
For tickets to that game, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

Sannai-Maruyama Ruins
The largest ruins of a traditional village, dating from 4,000 to 5,500 years ago. Stepping into this region is like taking a step back in time.
The Sannai-Maruyama Ruins in the southwest of Aomori City are the largest ruins of a Jomon-period (about 10,500-300 BC) village in Japan, and are estimated to date from 4,000 to 5,500 years ago. As the excavation advanced, it became clear that the ruins were of a large village that had existed for more than 1,500 years—something that excited the archeological world. At present, most of the excavated items have been reburied for preservation, but a few excavation sites and artifacts are on display, giving you a sense of ancient times.
In one site measuring about 120,000 square meters, several buildings have been restored: a large building made with pillars sunk into the ground, a large dwelling built into a dugout, and a warehouse with a raised floor. The large building made with pillars sunk into the ground was a great discovery, because it showed that people at that time possessed high-level construction techniques, and refuted the previously held theory that the techniques to construct this kind of building had not been developed during that era. Also, the large dwelling built into a dugout is a huge construction, measuring 32 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 8 meters high.
In the exhibition room, you can see interesting items such as flat clay figures, earthenware, personal ornaments, and small knitted baskets called "Jomon pochette." If you want a guided explanation while looking at the exhibits, a volunteer from the Sannai-Maruyama Supporters' Group will be happy to show you round the exhibits.

Hi! I'm MooShe! I came to the Georgia SPCA in April with my kittens. The staff and volunteers took great care of us, and my babies were adopted right away. I stayed in a free-roam cat room, and talked to everyone who came in to visit.
"Pick me! I'm great! I'm affectionate, and pretty, and love to talk! I'm a 'Paws for Consideration Cat', so you can take me home for a few days, and, honestly, that's all I need to convince you I'm the perfect new cat for you!"
May and June passed. Then, in July, a lady came several weekends in a row and played with all the grown-up cats. I talked (and talked!) to her every time she came, and (finally!) she took a chance on me. By the next weekend, my new big sister cat, Angel, came out from under the bed and stopped hissing at me; now we share everything. She's pretty old, and use to getting her own way. That's fine. She's earned it. Angel came from a shelter, too.
But enough about me. I want to share a few wonderful things I learned while I was at the Georgia SPCA:
- Foster homes, and other terrific volunteers and staff members, feed and play and clean-up after us everyday
- Vets help us stay healthy with shots and surgeries
- Weekend offsite adoptions help spread the word about the Georgia SPCA
- Low-cost vaccination clinics help people take care of their pets
- Two free-roam cat rooms have cool stuff to climb and play on, and there are lots of big, roomy cages for the kittens, too
- The dog's kennel has beds and toys, and they get to go outside for walks. (Lucky!!!)
- If you would like to volunteer, donate, or adopt, you can stop by any day of the week
- Fun fundraisers are planned year-round to raise money for our food and care
- We have a very special opportunity right now to double the impact of your gifts. One of our most generous supporters is matching all donations received in July and August, dollar-for-dollar, up to a grand total of $35,000!
There are so many ways to help:
- A gift to our Compassionate Hearts fund helps cover the expenses for rescues with special medical needs, like little Red Riding Hood who was infected with 3 wolf worms.
- A donation to the "Sponsor a Litter" program provides food and medical care for young puppies and kittens until they are ready for adoption.
- A Tribute Gift in honor or memory of a loved one or special pet supports vital shelter operations. A card acknowledging your generosity will be sent to the recipient of your choice.
- A Sponsorship donation for "An Evening in Paris", our annual benefit gala, allows us to provide care and comfort to the more than 1,300 homeless pets that come through our doors each year.
Please take advantage of this terrific opportunity to double the power of your gift by August 31!

Justin Timberlake Makes Grown Men Cry!
Justin Timberlake's romantic song for Jessica Biel at their wedding in Italy apparently made some of his friends cry!
He sang a song he wrote especially for the occasion as she walked down the aisle towards him at their wedding, telling Hello:
"I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle.
"Grown men were weeping. Hopefully it's because I didn't sound bad."
Jessica wore a beautiful Giambattista Valli pink bridal gown for the ceremony - check out their wedding picture here if you haven't seen it yet!
Aww, it sounds like it was a beautiful ceremony. BS

The Wolf Pack hit the road this weekend starting with a game in Worcester tonight. They have played Worcester twice recently, winning one 3-2 in overtime and losing one 3-2. Both games were held at the XL Center. This will be the Wolf Packs first trip to Worcester this year. They are 5-3 in their last eight games in Worcester.
After Worcester the Pack travels to Wilkes Barre/Scranton to play the Penguins who beat them 2-1 in a shootout last week. They wrap up the weekend with a Sunday matinee game against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in Bridgeport.
The Wolf Pack have struggled mightily this season going 11-17-0-5 in 33 games. They really have been in a slump going 2-10-0-2 since Thanksgiving weekend. They are down in the basement of the Northeast Division looking up and trying to find a way to earn one of the eight Eastern Conference playoff spots.
The team has been called "young" by just about everyone including the coaching staff. Youth on a team means great energy and promise but youth also brings inexperience into the mix and that has contributed to their current record.
On the Packs roster there are 13 players born after 1990. There are three players over the age of 30 on the team. Defenseman Aaron Johnson, goalie Dov Grumet Morris and forward Arron Asham constitute the players with the most experience on this team. They have NHL experience as well, but will it be enough to lead the team back into a playoff hunt?
Even though he has been gone for two seasons now I am sure the Pack miss the leadership of Wade Redden. Redden was released before the start of last season and he was picked up by the St. Louis Blues. Redden just announced his retirement from hockey yesterday after a 14 year career. He had played for Ottawa, New York, St. Louis, and Boston. He had a fine career; he played in the All Star game in 2002 and was selected in 2004 to play as well but was sick at the time. He ended up in the AHL when the Rangers felt he was underperforming in New York. When he was sent down to play for the Connecticut Whale/Hartford Wolf Pack he became the player with the largest salary in the AHL. Last year during the lock-out he was released by the Rangers and he found his way back into the NHL.
There is no question the team is talented and has its share of bright spots. Grumet-Morris has a 1-6-1 record with the Pack but he has 2.86 goals against average with a 90.4% Save Percentage. Danny Kristo has been the team's leading scorer all year long. He has 12 goals and 10 assists in 31 games. Kristo is the Packs best sniper, and he would be having even a better year if the team was playing better. Captain Aaron Johnson is the leading scorer among the teams' blue liners. He has 3 goals and 16 assists in 32 games this season.
There still is plenty of time to get into the playoff race, there are 43 games remaining on the Wolf Packs' schedule. All of those 43 games are against Eastern Conference opponents and 23 of those games are against Northeast Division opponents.

WOMEN GOING WILD is a multi-authored blog sharing stories of women who are exploring their wildness in outdoor adventures.
"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped." (Clarissa Pinkola Estes, in 'Women Who Run with the Wolves')
WOMEN GOING WILD is a blog sharing stories of women who are exploring their wildness. It is a forum for the voices of women who walk, run and dance along many paths. This is a blog about the potential of women to take up their birthright as the stewardesses of nature, as the keepers of stories of power, healing and transformation. It is about women who like to get dirty and women who are creating art, women who love passionately and women who mother and nurture. Wild women dance and sing, they paddle and hike, and know deep down what to do when they meet a bear on the trail. Wild women belong barefoot in the forest, and they may also be barefoot in the kitchen making a decadent chocolate mousse! Wild women claim their own space.
This blog is a place where a diversity of women gather to share their personal stories of discovery along the wild way. We will meet women who are business executives, women who write about sex, women who have climbed the worlds highest mountains and women who work for social justice and peace. The blog will convene a community of women who are poets, painters and dreamers. All women are welcome to go wild here.This is a place of spirit, of celebration, of sisterhood.
Wild Women Expeditions (www.wildwomenexp.com) is the host of this blog. We facilitate outdoor adventure travel for women in some of the most spectacular destinations across Canada. We believe there is something quite magical about women-only groups: the camaraderie, the respect for each other and the Earth.
When we meet ourselves in the wilderness, we can explore the undiscovered frontiers of our deepest being, play in a landscape of our humanity that is raw, elemental, free. Being a wild women is saying "Yes!" to our nature, our power, our deepest source. When we embrace our wild womenness, we become stronger, more connected and tuned in, a force for change in the world.
We are Women Going Wild – watch out!

Editor's Note – Why XPMarkets Suck in 50 Words
If you are looking for a binary options broker, and I guess that's most of our readers visit this website, before reading these broker's reviews you should understand what does the trading technology has to offer to you, as a trader. XPMarkets, unfortunately, is quite limited when it comes to trading tools and options.

Why XPMarkets Doesn't Suck in 50 Words
The Tradologic trading platform is a very user friendly one. Both beginners and experienced traders could switch easily and adapt to this platform. The only downside, as mentioned above, is the limited extras.
XPMarkets Full Review – Limited Trading Technology
XPMarkets Binary Options broker, launched on late 2011, is based on the smooth binary options trading technology of Tradologic platform. XPMarkets is of course a 100% web based platform so there's no need to download any software to your computer. XPMarkets trading platform is quite simple – The only trading options available are High\Low, Range trading and Touch option for weekends, not to mention the absence of any trading tools. User interference on the other hand is very smooth, the charts are visible and clear and the overall trading experience seems comfortable and very easy to use. That's a common problem with Tradologic trading platforms- they are very easy to use, but also very limited. The whole Binary Options trading experience on XPMarkets is pretty basic, unmatched with todays trading technology and the extensive variety of trading options and trading tools available for the traders. XPMarkets must upgrade their trading platform if they want to attract potential binary options traders. Traders today have many review sites and enough information to choose a broker who provides the right set of tools for any trader. The profits at XPMarkets are average high, 75-85% for in-the-money, so why not leveling up the trading tools? XPMarkets are quite fresh after all, so there's much to expect from this binary options broker. BinaryOptionsthatSuck.com team will keep monitoring XPMarkets progress.
Is XPMarkets a Scam?
One of the most popular trader's complaints regarding binary options brokers is the "different price" issue. Some brokers, such as XPMarkets, are presenting different prices then those presented in Reuters, Leverage, etc. those prices are the prices that XPMarkets are willing to offer on certain assets, but they are not the actual values presented by major quotes suppliers. Many traders seem to miss this information, therefore losing their money and protesting about a potential scam. Traders who use professional trading charts and other financial tools may see different prices to the same assets on XPMarkets trading platform. In my opinion, the difference between the actual quotes and those presented by XPMarkets is not fair, but there's nothing illegal about it. Traders must be aware of this issue, and decide for themselves whether they want to trade with brokers like those. Anyhow, I don't see any reason why XPMarkets are a Scam.

XPMarkets Complaints
BinaryOptionsthatSuck.com made their best efforts, but they couldn't find any comments what so ever regarding XPMarkets. There are currently not enough traders talking about XPMarkets online, we recommend conducting a simple Google search for XPMarkets complaints, scam, fraud etc, before choosing a broker.

XPMarkets Ratings
User Friendly 11/20
XPMarkets is 100% web based TradoLogic platform, so there's no need for any software to be downloaded to the PC. The website homepage is clean and organized. In the trading area a trader can chose between a 4 assets view and a single asset view. The overall trading experience and user-interference is good, but the best. The FAQ and Glossary are horrible. XPMarkets is only available in English and French.
No. of Assets and Expiry time 7/20
Total of 33 Assets: 10 stocks, 11 currencies (forex), 4 commodities, 7 indices and one Bond. XPMarkets lacks selection of assets and expiry times. Overall 33 assets and only half hour to a couple of hour's expiry times are just not enough to be compared to an average of 50 assets per broker in binary industry.
Commissions, Support and Effective return 10/20
XPMarkets don't charge any fees or commissions from investors when they initially deposit or purchase options. Some necessary information including the fees for withdrawal is missing. XPMarkets support is only available via E-Mail. The live chat is not helpful. The effective return is among average high- between 65%-81% with an average of 75% In-The-Money return for most assets, while the Out-of-Money refund is good- 0-10%.
Deposit, Payment and Bonus 12/20
XPMarkets Minimum deposit is average – 200$. Deposit is available via C.C. or Wire transfer, MoneyBookers and more. Withdrawals are not limited to a minimum. As mentioned above, some information regarding withdrawals, fees and methods are missing, it is recommended to contact support before deposit. XPMarkets offer a bonus of up to 50%, for other promotions contact support.
Website Extra's 9/20
XPMarkets offer their clients a simple Digital striking price option, Range and Touch options, plus trading tools such as the rollover and close now. That's very average selection of extras. From the learning aspect, XPMarkets education is below average.
XPMarkets rating: 49/100

xpmarkets is a scam man. I can't withdraw money from them. I made the requirement trading volume and still can't receive the money.
Don't trade xpmarkets, this broker is a scam.
Have anybody an idea how can I receive money from them?
I can't take my money back from XPmarkets. XPMARKETS IS SCAM! I already contact the Police and Fraud on Internet Service from my country. Maybe I won't get any money from them, but I hope Police will do something about this! XPmarkets IS SCAM!!!
XP Markets is a definite scam. I tried to withdraw $200 from my account with them last year in December and am still waiting for it. They do not reply to any of the several e-mails I sent them. The telephone numbers they give on ther site do not exist, and the lady on their live chat "Betty" is the same lady who is on another scam site OptiMarkets with whom I am having the same problem. Do Not deposit any money with both of them.
Agree with ariol. Total scam. Tried to withdraw some funds. Was told to verify my ID by sending passport, proof of address and scan of card I paid deposited with. Then told me I didn't have enough funds in to withdraw and I would have to make another deposit to withdraw any money!!
An absolute joke. I'm in touch with the FSA and other agencies about this. These con artists cannot be allowed to get away with this.
Agree entirely with both ariol and busta and my exchange with them is identical to busta's. Furthermore, I have been trading for 20 year and am aware of market movement – but every trade I got into fell out of the money at the last second so I believe that the ARE THEY A SCAM introductory sentence above: "the difference between the actual quotes and those presented by XPMarkets is not fair," is behind a good number of losing trades. Which of course, changes your actual returns ratio to something far worse. After all the hoops and delays they've put me through when I've tried to withdraw my money, I can not imagine me adding enough money to my account to be able to withdraw my remaining funds (throwing good money after bad) will actually help me get my money out, so I am screwed. DO NOT get involved with assholes who aren't going to treat you and your money fairly. I am VERY interested in anyone who knows how to go after them!!
I also believe that this company is a scam. I have tried to get my money back from them, but they totally ignore my emails. I should have checked the web before opening an account with them. That was my own fault. However, I have been doing some research on them and I found an advisory warning on the Financial Conduct Authority website. XP Markets Ltd is NOT NOT NOT authorised to carry out business in the UK. Here is the link to the advisory warning
XPMarkets Lts is NOT NOT regulated or authorised to carry on business in the UK
Here is the Financial Conduct Authority advisory link
XP ,s phone line always seems to have a fault on it, they do not respond to e.mails & there online chat is a joke. Is there any way of finding out where they are based, have a feeling they may be abroad.
The owner is in the United States.Try the domain first where people try to hide from public view.

Hello everybody, XPMARKETS.COM IS (removed offensive) BROKER!!!

I get my money not back. I try via chatroom, but they close chatroom.
they don't answare my e-mails and telefoons.
do you know mybe how can we get our money back?
please be carefull they are not broker!!!
i am fed up with these people from xpmarkets,they contacted me by phone many times telling me that i need to withdraw my money as i had 340 euros, instead of that they did took the same amount 2 times from my visa card.
they sent me many emails saying that the operation has been cancelled and that they will pay me back my money which is now 1020 euros and since than its black out, they dont reply to my mails.
can you please tell me if there is a way of taking them to court.
please i need your help.
kind regards
I agree with all of you. How do we report them and get back our money?
They are very quick to contact you when you open an account and they are very helpfull so it makes you feel comfortable and you put in some money, thinking, surely these people I spoke to wouldn't be try to con me. It has a nice website, it seems all very professional, but IT IS A HUGE SCAM!!!!!!!!!!
From the time that I have tried to withdraw my money it has been ipossible to get in touch with them. The phone number and email of my so-called adviser do not work anymore and the helpline is a dead end too.
Thankfully I had only put in the min imum of £300.
This is not just my opinion, on every forum I have found about it there are dozens of people to whom it has happened.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Junior forward Jazmin Ponce was named to the 2012 Pac-12 Women's Soccer All-Conference First Team as well as the Pac-12 Second Team by College Sports Madness.
On the season, the Lawnsdale, Calif. native recorded a total of 85 shot attempts, two assists and eight goals. Earning 19 starts in 20 games and logging a total 1,769 minutes, Ponce led the Pac-12 in number of shots taken for seven weeks in a row.
"It's an honor to be mentioned on something like this," Ponce said. "It's amazing that I was chosen over all the other girls in the Pac-12 and to be among the best makes me so happy. I couldn't have done it without the help of my team, coaches, my family and especially my dad who has always been there supporting me."
The last Arizona women's soccer player to be named to the Pac-12 First or Second Team All-Conference list was Kaity Heath in 2007 (second team). The last Arizona soccer player to receive First Team Honors was Gianna DeSaverio in 2006.
For the 2012 season, the Wildcats posted a 6-11-3 overall record, and went 2-7-2 in Pac-12 Conference play. Compared to a 1-16-2 season in 2011, Arizona made a five game improvement.

The world we live in getting smaller and smaller every single day and it allows us to have access some stuff we would never expect to have access to. Even though it broke box office records when it debuted in its home country of Vietnam, "House In The Alley" is just a little too dull as it takes way too long between moments to generate any genuine tension.
The story of a young couple were happily settling into their new life in their new spacious home, until it all goes wrong and they lose their baby to a miscarriage. After the tragedy, Thao (Thanh Van Ngo) is inconsolable and won't let her baby's body leave the house. Normal life eludes her as terrifying visions undermine her sanity. Her husband, Thanh (Son Bao Tran) experiences strange phenomena around their home and when his wife turns on him, he must race to uncover the secrets of the house in the alley before they lose their sanity and their lives.
It's a creepy idea that starts off with some genuine promise, but "House In The Alley" just goes nowhere fast as it tries to build tension but it just bores its audience as not much of anything actually happens as this mostly inexperienced cast and crew couldn't deliver any legitimate payoff.
Writer/director Le-Van Kiet starts us off on a dark and stormy night that is filling us with promise as we are thrust into the tragedy of a miscarriage as this young couple desperately waits for help. However the aftermath of it all is rather poorly executed as we see this young mother inconsolable dealing with her grief and the subsequent strange occurrences around the house are played out far too subtly as it never genuinely feels like anything is happening.
Having creepy things happen are one thing, but there is such little pay off and the bulk of the story genuinely plays out as post partum depression gone horribly, horribly wrong. Don't get me wrong, that COULD work as a creepy horror movie plot point, it just all unfolds in far too subtle a fashion because even though the heavy opening of this film grabs us, it just doesn't do enough in the heart of the narrative to make the supposedly frightening climax mean anything.
Performances were fine, but both leads only have credits that list in the single digits and just don't have the experience to help this material that ultimately lets them down. So much of it was just so unimaginative that the damn thing just never registers on any level.
The only special feature on this DVD is the trailer.
With "House In The Alley" we get sucked into something that could have the promise of some of the best that the horror genre in the Pacific Rim have offered us, but we just get an idea that needed a lot more development as this material that might have filled a decent 15 minute short, leaves a 94 minute feature with way too much filler that makes for an truly boring experience.
1 out of 5 stars.
"House In The Alley" is available on DVD from retailers now.

JavaFX Roundup
By dannycoward on Aug 28, 2009
From this detailed article about the new mixin feature in the language that replaces the potentially slow multiple inheritence, to a episode three of a continuing series about a new MVC based framework for building form based applications in JavaFX, there's been lots to say about JavaFX in the last week or so.
A couple of new games zoomed into view. As have some deeper reviews of JavaFX technology from those who have actually rolled up their sleeves and used it. Leading perhaps, to a remarkably precient (yet incomplete!) prediction of what is to come in the next version.
