College Hockey:Alaska Stymies Ohio State in 4-1 Win
Buckeyes Continue to Struggle in Search of Home Ice for Conference Playoffs
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Alaska Nanooks used solid goaltending and timely scoring en route to their 4-1 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday night.
Ohio State is now winless in their last four games and their chances of earning home-ice-advantage in the CCHA playoffs are in serious jeopardy as they are now No. 10 in conference standings. Heading into last Friday's two game series against Nebraska-Omaha, Ohio State was just two points out of fourth in the CCHA standings. Now they are seven points out of fourth and four points out of eighth.
I think that fourth place is pretty tough but that was exactly what I put on the board, 'where do you want to travel to?' Ohio State coach John Markell said. Tomorrow night, we still have the opportunities to get points here. But if we don't have an effort better than what we had tonight — I'll say it, it wasn't what we have been getting. We were flat (tonight).
I wouldn't say panic, more like desperation, that is what we got to have is emotional desperation Ohio State alternate captain Sergio Somma said. Panic can be bad but desperation can be positive. We need some points this weekend.
The Nanooks are keeping their chances alive for first round bye in the playoffs.
They are tied with Nebraska-Omaha for fourth place.
Freshman Andy Taranto notched the Nanooks' first hat trick since Dec. 8 2006 when Curtis Fraser had three goals against the Bowling Green Falcons. Taranto is now tied for being the leading freshman goal scorer in the CCHA with goal nos. 10-12 for the season.
Andy (Taranto) played well, he was hard on pucks, he was finishing checks, and those are things you need to do to be successful, Alaska head coach Dallas Ferguson said.
Buckeyes' goalie Cal Heeter had a pedestrian effort stopping 17-of-20 Nanooks' shots but did make a highlight reel save on Dion Knelsen on a breakaway seven minutes into the second. Scott Greenham stopped all but one of Ohio State's 34 shots.
Ohio State was taking shots from everywhere, Greenham said. I thought our defense in particular did a great job boxing out in front of the net making sure that their guys didn't get to the rebounds I left. There wasn't that many grade-A chances, but when there was, our guys was there to help me out.
Alaska got its first goal 14:51 into the first period when Nanooks' forward Dustin Sather stole the puck from Buckeyes' defenseman Matt Bartkowski and passed to Taranto whose shot beat the glove of Heeter. The Buckeyes answered when they also took advantage of a turnover 1:04 later as Cory Schneider scored as he stole the puck from Nanooks' defenseman Joe Sova and snuck the puck through the five hole of Greenham.
The Nanooks took control of the game in the second period. Ohio State's Chris Reed was called for tripping early in the second. On the ensuing power play, Alaska got the go-ahead goal 4:15 into the second period as Taranto scored his second of the game as he slapped a shot past Heeter on a well placed one-timed pass from Aaron Gens. Brian Molle gave Alaska a two goal lead as he scored from the high slot at the end of another Reed penalty. Ohio State outshot Alaska 11-6 in the second.
I think it starts with effort, Markell said about the lack of Buckeyes' scoring chances in the first two periods. (Alaska) scored that second goal, we just went flat. I thought Alaska played a good game, their goalie played a good game and it looked like he saw all his pucks.
Ohio State played a solid third period outshooting the Nanooks 14-5 for the stanza. Alaska scored the only goal of the period when Taranto knocked the puck into Ohio State's vacated net in the game's final minute. Center Dion Knelsen made a very unselfish move to pass the puck to Taranto as he trailed Knelsen down the right wing.
It was very unselfish, Taranto said about Knelsen's assist. We have great leadership will all of our guys. They really help me out. They help me with telling me when to chip pucks in and when to chip pucks out. I think those guys help me out; guys like (Captain Derek) Klassen.
There were a lot of bounces out there, Ferguson said. It was kind of weird how the game started. One of those bounces don't go the right way, it could have changed the game.
Ohio State's triple-A line of Zac Dalpe, Peter Boyd, and Somma were held pointless for the first time since Dec. 11 when the Buckeyes were shut out by the Miami RedHawks. The defensive pairing of Sova and Gens did an outstanding job of shutting down the Buckeyes' top line.
It is tough on the road because you don't get last change and sometimes your guys get out there against the matchups, Ferguson said. I credit our whole defensive core just being aware when those guys are on the ice. They can create some offense and when you give them time and space, they're going to (score).
I need my top two lines to be threats, Markell said.

Amelioration of today's drug problem requires Americans to understand the significance of the 80/20 ratio. Twenty percent of American drinkers consume 80 percent of the alcohol sold here. The same 80-20 split obtains among users of illicit drugs.
About 3 million people — less than 1 percent of America's population — consume 80 percent of illegal hard drugs. Drug trafficking organizations can be most efficiently injured by changing the behavior of the 20 percent of heavy users, and we are learning how to do so. Reducing consumption by the 80 percent of casual users will not substantially reduce the northward flow of drugs or the southward flow of money.
More Americans are imprisoned for drug offenses or drug-related probation and parole violations than for property crimes. And although America spends five times more jailing drug dealers than it did 30 years ago, the prices of cocaine and heroin are 80 percent to 90 percent lower than 30 years ago.
In "Drugs and Drug Policy: What Everyone Needs to Know," policy analysts Mark Kleiman, Jonathan Caulkins and Angela Hawken argue that imprisoning low-ranking, street-corner dealers is pointless: A $200 transaction can cost society $100,000 for a three-year sentence. And imprisoning large numbers of dealers produces an army of people who, emerging from prison with blighted employment prospects, can only deal drugs. Which is why, although a few years ago Washington, D.C., dealers earned an average of $30 an hour, today they earn less than the federal minimum wage ($7.25).
Rethinking policy
Kleiman, Caulkins and Hawken say that in developed nations, cocaine sells for about $3,000 per ounce — almost twice the price of gold. And the supply of cocaine, unlike that of gold, can be cheaply and quickly expanded. But in the countries where cocaine and heroin are produced, they sell for about 1 percent of their retail price in America. If cocaine were legalized, a $2,000 kilogram could be FedExed from Colombia for less than $50 and sold profitably in America for a small markup, and a $5 rock of crack might cost 25 cents. Criminalization drives the cost of the smuggled kilogram in America up to $20,000. But then it retails for more than $100,000.
People used to believe enforcement could raise drug prices but doubted that higher prices would decrease consumption. Now, they know consumption declines as prices rise but wonder whether enforcement can substantially affect prices. They urge rethinking drug-control enforcement, prevention and treatment.
And cartels have money for corrupting enforcement, because drugs are cheap to produce and easy to renew. So it is not unreasonable to consider modifying a policy that gives hundreds of billions of dollars a year to violent organized crime.
Marijuana probably provides less than 25 percent of the cartels' revenues. Legalizing it would take perhaps $10 billion from some bad people, but the cartels would still make much more money from cocaine, heroin and meth than they would lose from marijuana legalization.
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana, a messy, mendacious semi-legalization that breeds cynicism regarding law. In 1990, 24 percent of Americans supported full legalization. Today, 50 percent do.
Would the public health problems resulting from legalization be a price worth paying for injuring the cartels and reducing the cost of drug-law enforcement?

As the NHS considers prescribing preventative breast cancer drugs to healthy women, the risk must first be justified.
12:28, UK, Tuesday 15 January 2013
Thomas Moore
Health and Science Correspondent
As many as half a million women could be offered drugs to prevent breast cancer under new guidelines.
It is hugely significant - it will be the first time that the NHS in England and Wales has prescribed medication to prevent cancer.
And it is no wonder that it has been welcomed by women with a strong family risk of the disease.
Those who have inherited one of the two BRCA genes have a four-out-of-five chance of developing breast cancer.
The risk is so high that between a third and a half will choose to have their breasts removed, even though they are perfectly healthy.
But it's likely that from the summer women will have the option of taking drugs such as tamoxifen instead.
In the US, where tamoxifen is already used in high-risk women, it is estimated that the drug halves the chances of breast cancer.
Health regulator Nice has been cautious in making this recommendation.
These are healthy women being offered medication that has a small risk of serious side effects, including womb cancer and blood clots.
So doctors need to be certain that the risk can be justified - and in women with a significant family link there is no doubt it can be.
But in future, women at lower risk could also be taking drugs to prevent breast cancer.
Cancer Research UK is running a trial of anastrozole, a drug that could be even more effective than tamoxifen at preventing tumours, but with far fewer side effects.
Perhaps one day all women could take preventative drugs once they reach a certain age - much as statins are offered to the over 50s to reduce the risk of heart disease.
And what about other cancers?
Scientists have identified genes that run in families causing bowel, kidney, and womb cancers, amongst others.
But the research is a long way behind the work on breast cancer and it is likely to be many years before other cancers are prevented in the same way.

TC TO JWC ; 16 July 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580716-TC-JWC-01; CL 34: 47-48
The Gill, 16 july, 1858—
Two bad nights in succession, my poor dear Jeannie: it is no better than I thought; I got no news because there was none good! And I must put up with this till Tuesday:—well, well, we cannot help it. "A true speak" indeed, that solemn one of the Aunt Grace. But we will hope neverthess;1 above all things, we will try.
Richmond seems to be quite out,—would it had spared you that "coarse tea by way of dinner," at least. Bay House too seems as good as out. Indeed I see nothing possible in the way of Country, unless you are strong enough now for the adventure of the railway hitherward. You say nothing about your cough, your cold under any form, in these two last bulletins: I hope what of it, but that is not much; I cannot think it has yet left you at the point where you were before that sad Brighton Enterprise. But the truth is, if you are able to get to Scotland at all, here would and could be right "country" for you; and I now see no clear chance of any elsewhere. It is certain, if you were simply in my place here, you might have every advantage that is included under what people call country, and probably in fuller measure, and with fewer drawbacks, than in any place else in the world, Bay House, Undercliff Tennysons',2 Richmond, or whatever other! This is a clear fact, and you must think seriously whether it does not demand immediately being acted upon. I can, and right joyfully will, surrender you my place here (I cd pig in,3 I doubt not, at Scotsbrig, certainly at Dumfries, 4 trains a day, time scarcely half an hour); and you would be a real prize to the people; and nobody on earth wd be kinder and more tender than Mary and the rest of them from youngest to oldest,—nice, clean, well-conditioned, modest sensible creatures all the Children4 seem to me, and you might make more acquaintance with them then, and I really fancy grow to like their modest assiduities about you. The two little rooms are clean and neat; the Bed as good as any bed and room, in the most essential respects. There wd be nothing to hinder you to put up here for as many days or weeks as you found it,—at lowest till I had discovered some Lodging for us both: I hear of Cottages about New-Abbey5 quarter (a very pleasant shore, as you know), a Cottage of M'Diarmid's6 &c &c. In short it all turns on yourself, poor Goody dear: whether you have strength to venture, strength to do it if you shd venture. For we must not have too much courage: "courage to go whether you can or not,"—alas, we have had too much of that. In a word, I am practically pretty certain that if you just stood in my shoes, you wd immediately begin to get some sleep and improvement. And to give up my present "shoes" to you, never fancy that it wd be a "sacrifice,"—the reverse rather, having had three weeks of this perfect "silence" (and gloom enough of mind along with it):—so that to change for my poor Goody (all things considered) wd be a triumphant and joyful issue, if we cd come to it! I beg you dear think seriously of this; & do what is wise in it. Nothing more like a Sister (whh you never had) or a still Dearer than any Sister (which we never will have more in this world) could be found than poor Mary;—there is a namesake of yours among the children, too, whom Jean is greatly praising, a nice young lass:7 she wd wait on you; and be your maid, on the most devoted terms, if you permitted it. Better air, purer water, a more simple, silent, wholesome honest place, is not to be found.— Enough, enough. I have spoken to nobody about this; but I really see no other resource. And so must leave it with you till Tuesday.— Send the Peesweep Newspaper8 tomorrow (if you are not going to read any of it); and put two strokes on it, in token of a better night if you honestly can! No: I had better revoke this last clause, this last sentence altogether. The meaning was: If you send anything on Saturday, it gets hither on Monday morning by course of nature. And so Adieu, my poor little unsleeping partner—ach Himmel [oh Heaven], may that soon alter! Yours evermore T. Carlyle

A group of sixth-graders from Detroit's University Preparatory Academy departed from the usual course of science textbooks and frog dissection to get a glimpse of the wonders of science from Wayne State University researchers who work with it every day.
Lawrence Grossman, PhD, is one of many scientists at WSU's Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics (CMMG) who introduced the students to concepts that go far beyond normal middle school curriculum.
"Often, it's hard to convey through the traditional schoolroom learning the dynamic nature of science. What we're trying to do here is inspire these children to develop the aptitude that they've already shown and encourage them to investigate the world around them," says Dr. Grossman, CMMG associate director and faculty member. "Genes play the critical role in many, if not most chronic diseases. Understanding heredity and how traits are encoded in DNA is critical to increasing the community's knowledge of what causes genetic diseases and how these conditions are passed on to the next generation."
Participating students will meet at the CMMG for five half-day sessions, during which they will have hands-on opportunities to experience scientific research.
Using experiments that have already been prepped by WSU lab staffs, the students will harvest DNA from bacteria and learn to identify particular fragments of DNA. These fragments may make up a certain gene, which they then can confirm by comparing its length to other known DNA fragments. This process is similar to RFLP analysis, the same basic procedure used by physicians to establish paternity and in forensics labs to identify perpetrators of violent crime.

Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw by Norman Davies, 2004, Viking Press, 784 pages.
The latest book from Norman Davies is Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw. The title Rising '44 is somewhat misleading. Only about 200 pages in the middle of the book are devoted to the Warsaw Uprising itself. The rest of the book provides a general overview of the two centuries of Polish history prior to WWII and afterwards. The narrative devoted to the Uprising is supplemented by personal statements and recollections of those who witnessed or participated in the described events. The ook is engaging and should be a rewarding read especially for a foreign student of modern Polish affairs. It provides a wealth of information, and clarifies some misconceptions (as on pages 287-288 when it explains who fought and who did not on the German side during the Warsaw Uprising) and misunderstandings about recent Polish history.
The 1944 Warsaw Uprising was a heartbreaking event. Warsaw and its population paid a terrible price for it – 200,000 dead and complete destruction of the city. Moreover the Rising failed to achieve its objective of liberating Warsaw and driving Germans out of the capital. No book about the Uprising would be complete if the author did not try to explain why Poles were left alone by their allies in the hour of need. Davies discusses this in a chapter titled "Interim Report" at the end of the book. There the author concludes that the "tragedy of the Warsaw Rising resulted from a systemic breakdown of the Grand Alliance." After reading the book this conclusion seems too exculpatory of the members of the Grand Alliance. It seems more likely that the Poles and the Uprising were left to wither as it was not in the interest of any of the Grand Alliance members (Russians, British and Americans) to get actively involved on our side.
The book is a thick, 784 pages long, opus. It is not surprising then that some misstatements slipped past the editor as when we are told that Stalin and the Polish prime minister both agreed that Communism fits Germany as a saddle on a cow (p. 316). Germany? The book also includes a number of songs and poems written during the war by Polish authors, in their Polish originals and in English translation. Davies translates many of them into English. While one appreciates the effort devoted to the translations, in the opinion of this reviewer some translations do not do justice to the original poems. For an example of a less than satisfactory rendition see the translation of a poem by Ziutek (p. 686). The book includes an index but lacks a bibliography—that's a serious omission for this type of work.
With all the above in mind it is utterly surpring that the author engaged in an unfortunate Polish name rewriting endeavor. This is done in an alleged effort to make Polish history more soothing to the English psyche (p. xi). It is all the more unexpected given the "Polish friendly" credentials of the author. Norman Davies is an eminent historian, an author of "the definitive history of Poland" God's Playground, an honorary citizen of a few Polish cities, and a holder of a few honorary degrees from Polish universities. One is stunned then to read in the opening pages of Rising '44, a declaration that "…Polish [language] constitute[s] a near insurmountable barrier to a full understanding of the country's affairs." (p. xi) This is followed up by a Polish joke "that God created Polish by dropping his Scrabble box." (p. xii), and by Davies resolving to correct this problem by making Polish names more palatable to the readers of his book. He does that through ad hoc changes of the last names of Poles and Polish geographical names appearing in the book. Thus Mikolajczyk becomes Mick, Andrzej Pomian – Andre P., Kazimierz Moczarski – Herr Mocharski, Warszawa Gdanska (a railway station in Warsaw) – Danzig Station, etc., etc. This experiment makes the book infuriatingly confusing to read. The transformations of Polish names are dutifully compiled in Appendix 35 for ease of use. The Appendix is of little help. Unless you agree with the author that the Polish language is a problem, and memorize Appendix 35 prior to reading the book, you have to deal on the fly with oddities like the one on page 51—"…the most active members of the exiled Government were the Premier, Mick; the Commander-in-Chief, Gen. S.; the Foreign Minister, Thaddeus R.; and the Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Ko." This sounds like a press rendition of a police report and detracts considerably from the book.
Overall the book leaves a mixed impression. If you can, however, get past an unfortunate name rewriting experiment described above it is an engaging read. It covers a vast territory of Polish history and it is bound to enlighten many about the events that formed us as a nation during the last century. One has to appreciate the first rate scholarship that was employed in the writing of Rising '44.

The ruins of the future:
The multi-level, high rise, interlocking sky-road, known as Spaghetti Junction, is the most familiar of the 60s road systems in the U.K. built for the 'future-cars' of that decade and beyond. Modelled on the freeways of the USA, no self-respecting modern city was complete without them.
Mass House Circus Gyratory was a smaller less complex version, positioned right in the heart of Birmingham's city centre. The underground systems, car parks, upper road decks and subway tunnels were demolished between 2000 and 2004, in order to redevelop the cities East Side area. To facilitate this rebuilding, the Bullring Centre and Mass House Circus were erased less than 38 years after they were both originally constructed.
This book contains 42 pages of text and photographs by David Rowan, in addition to archive images from Birmingham Council Planning department, additional quotes and text by Liam Kenneddy and Will Alsop.

It is common for Friday night entertainment choices to be more sporadic than Saturday night's. After working all week, those that find they still have some energy to leave the house often make their decisions on the spur of the moment.
That said, if you are a Rock & Roll fan—and live in or around Nashville—you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to see SEXY REXX "live" Friday night at The Rusty Nail, 4054 Andrew Jackson Way in Hermitage.
Ever since the addition of Paul Simmons as drummer, back in October of 2012, the band has been honing its skills at interpreting the Rock Music of the last four decades. The work speaks for itself. For the Hard Rock fan, they are a "must see".
On their Facebook Site, SEXY REXX says:
SEXY REXX is what rock n roll is all about. Big sound, Big lights, and a Big show! So hop into our time machine and let us take you on a trip through Rock n Roll history. Come and experience our high energy stage show and hear the greatest hits from your favorite rock bands from the 70's up thru the present day.
Not too long ago, you could only see SEXY REXX at their club in North Nashville, The Outfit. The times are a-changing lately, though, and the band has been branching out and doing gigs all over town. Friend them on Facebook and get the lowdown right in your message box. Chances are, they're coming to your neighborhood soon.
As for having the energy to get out and see them Friday, after a hard work-week, it's our experience that the power level of musicians like SEXY REXX actually energizes you. So there you go; you have no excuse.

Trading Knowledge: Advanced
My job is to educate folks about the market, which means talking about (or writing in this case) anything and everything that affects the market. This means the world is my oyster. Every day, I read about the happenings in the world. Every day, I look for leading indicators that will help me "see the future." No, I am not an oracle, nor do I pretend to be, but I do look for macro trends that point in a direction, and I am more than happy to share my "vision" with you. Keep in mind, though, my vision derives from analyzing the fundamentals of the global economy, as well as looking at current movement in the market. I shun the doomsayers and I embrace the realists. I look to the positive without denying the negative. In short, I paint as realistic a picture of the market as I can.

This year's annual report looks into how science fiction and even healthcare fraud and quackery have led to innovations in medicine and technology. We will examine the larger cultural and historical context of our achievements such as male pregnancy and the artificial womb; how the perceived authority of hospitals and physicians have changed over the years; and the social implications resulting from the greater control we increasingly exert over our bodies, health, and reproductive capabilities.
The intention of this short book is simply to begin discussing these ideas about contemporary medicine and establishing the framework for a much larger cross-disciplinary investigation by our institution.

College Hockey:Union Loses Coyle, Wins Opener Vs. Ferris State
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — It was a night that Union displayed a lot of team speed Friday against Ferris State.
It was also a game in which the Dutchmen showed the fans at Messa Rink that they can play through adversity.
The Dutchmen overcame the loss of senior forward Josh Coyle after the first period, got second-period goals from sophomore forward Mario Valery-Trabucco and senior forward Torren Delforte and got an 18-save performance by senior goalie Justin Mrazek to beat the Bulldogs, 2-0, in the season opener for both teams.
Coyle, Union's top returning scorer, twisted his knee during the first period. He was called for a tripping penalty late in the first, but didn't return to serve the remaining time to start the second.
Union coach Nate Leaman said Coyle, who had 14 goals and 17 assists last season, will be out at least two weeks. Leaman added that he didn't know when Coyle got hurt. It could have happened when Coyle was called for diving midway through the first.
But the loss of Coyle didn't prevent the Dutchmen from posting their second straight season-opening win, 2-0 over the Bulldogs. Union won by the same score at Ferris State last Oct. 6.
"We faced a little adversity losing Josh there," Leaman said. "That made things a little bit scrambly. I thought the guys rebounded pretty well from there."
Using their speed, the Dutchmen dominated the first period. They had a 12-2 shot advantage, and didn't allow the Bulldogs a shot on goal until there was 5:23 left in the period. (Ferris State defenseman Evan Case did fire a shot off the left post from the high slot midway through the period, which doesn't count as a shot on goal.)
Meanwhile, Bulldogs goalie Pat Nagle kept the puck out of the net, too. His best save came with six seconds left, stopping Delforte on a shorthanded bid.
"It was huge just to get a jump on a team, and try to get them on their heels," Delforte said. "We worked real hard this spring and summer, and we came back and have been working real hard beating up each other up for the last month. It paid off tonight."
The Dutchmen scored twice in a 3:05 span midway through the second to take the lead.
Valery-Trabucco scored the first goal 7:19. Freshman forward Adam Presizniuk, who nearly scored seconds earlier when his shot when off Nagle's glove and fell in the crease, was skating down the right wing when he saw Valery-Trabucco going to the net. Presizniuk fired the puck to Valery-Trabucco, who redirected it past Nagle.
"He made the perfect pass," Valery-Trabucco said. "He's a good player. He was coming down his off side. He saw me drive to the net, and he put it right on my stick."
Delforte, who took Coyle's spot on the top line, got the next one. Sophomore forward Jason Walters led a two-on-one rush down the left wing, and waited for the perfect time to pass the puck over to Delforte, who one-timed it by Nagle.
"Cookie [Matt Cook] made a nice play to the middle on the breakout," Delforte said. "Wally used his strength and speed, and he fed me with a nice pass. I had a wide-open net."
Mrazek had the shutout in last season's opener. Last year's blanking may have been a little tougher, as Ferris State peppered him with 41 shots.
"That first period, we were forechecking and took it to them a little bit," said Mrazek, who earned his fifth career shutout. "Defensively, we were really sound tonight. That was the big difference."
The two teams meet again tonight at 7. In last year's second game between the two teams, Union held on for a 6-5 win.
"We've got to be happy with that win," Mrazek said. "Obviously, [Saturday] is going to be a lot tougher game. They're probably going to be a little bit mad. I'm sure they're going to come out really banging, and really crashing the net."
The last time Union won consecutive season openers was in 2000 and 2001. In 2000, the Dutchmen beat Army, 4-1, which was the last time they started the season at home. The following year, Union took a 2-1 victory at Notre Dame. … The Dutchmen are 8-9 in season openers.

Shin-Yakushi-ji Temple
Shin-Yakushi-ji was built in 747 by Empress Komyo, who was the wife of Emperor Shomu, so that she would be able to pray for a cure of the Emperors eye ailment. Along with Todai-ji, Shin-Yakushi-ji was one of the biggest temples of that time. According to records, this temple consisted of a large number of buildings, and had 1,000 priests. Soon after this, the temple was destroyed by fire, perhaps as a result of being struck by lightning, so all that remains is the present main hall. The building is designated a National Treasure. The To-mon ("East Gate") and Jizo-do have subsequently been rebuilt.Yakushi-Nyorai-zazo, a seated statue that measures nearly 2 m, is the focus of worship at the temple. This image is carved out of a single block of wood. Other than the eyes, eyebrows and lips, which are colored, nothing has been used to alter the wood. The figure is a leading example of Buddhist sculpture of the 9th century. Also noteworthy are the twelve Shinsho-ritsuzo statues that stand around the image of the Yakushi-Nyorai-zazo. These are believed to have been produced in the 8th century. The oldest of their kind in Japan, they are collectively designated a National Treasure.'

I am trying to setup a transparent proxy between eth0 and lo,
The reason being during DNS propagation services are being tunneled over a SSH connection between the old and new servers, on the "old" server this is fine for anything running locally connecting to localhost:
However for anything hitting the external address of the "old server" the service is not forward as the ssh tunnel only listens for connections to localhost (lo).
Current setup:
Old server --> SSH Tunnel --> New server
What needs to happen
Client connection (i.e. tcp 8081) --> Old Server --> SSH Tunnel --> New server
I am trying multiple variations on ip table rules, setting
-L <service port>:0.0.0.0:<service port> does not listen on all interfaces only on lo.
The solution must come from iptables alone, there is no time to deploy squid / another proxy service.
So in summary.
- Assume tcp 8081, is tunneled over SSH connection
- I need this to work from the eth0 bound address
Thanks In Advance

Comments about Multimode LED Flashlight:
I owned another brand that a few years ago was the top end flashlight. This light blows my old one away! It's my EDC light choice. I have not submerged this yet but I have no doubts about its durability. I really enjoy this model and have no reason to buy another unless I loose this one!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent everyday carry (EDC) light
By CT
from Center NJ
This is the Fenix PD32G2, the 2nd most powerful light from their PD series. It has a Cree XP-G2 (R5) LED with 4 levels of brightness (5, 70, 135, 340 lumens) and 2 special modes (Strobe for self-defense and SOS). At the highest output the light can reach up to 150 meters and has a run time of more than 2 hours. At the lowest setting it can last almost 250 hours! It literally lights up the whole football field at the highest setting. When walking the dog at night, having this little 'portable sun' is very comforting.I am a big fan of Fenix flashlights and the PD35 (850 lumens) is my everyday carry. The build quality of Fenix lights is second to none. They are water proof up to 2 meters submerged for 30 minutes, and can withstand the impact of a 1 meter drop, perfect for outdoor/indoor activities. When I saw NetGeo has it on sale with free shipping, I picked up a few more immediately, so my family members now each carries one in their backpacks, purses, etc.PD32 takes either two (non-rechargeable) CR123A batteries or a single 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery. The latter is recommended and in the long run will save you a lot of money. I use Orbtronic 3400 mAh protected 18650 battery, one of the best in the market. It also gives extra long run time compare to the CR123As.The product description given here at NatGeo is way too brief, and does not do justice to this great little light. If you are interested, visit Fenix's own web site (www.fenixlight.com) for more detailed information.You will not be disappointed with this light. Highly recommended.

College Hockey:Goepfert Steals Win For Friars
Netminder Stops 34 Maverick Shots In One-Goal Victory
MANKATO, Minn. — In October, it's only fitting that baseball comparisons are used, even in hockey.
After stopping 34 of 35 shots in a 2-1 win for Providence (3-0-0) over Minnesota State, sophomore goalie Bobby Goepfert was being compared to one of MLB's greats.
"It's like having Pedro (Martinez) on the hill," said sophomore Torry Gajda, who scored the game winner. "When he's in the net, you know it's going to be a great night."
But instead of throwing bullets, Goepfert was stopping them. After allowing a goal early in the first, Goepfert was impenetrable and fueled his team's come-from-behind victory in front of 3,417.
"Certainly on the road you're going to need good goaltending," said Friar coach Paul Pooley. "He gave us a lot of confidence, there's no question."
"He was unbelievable," MSU coach Troy Jutting said. "We had a lot of great chances. He played a great hockey game."
Goepfert's best save came in the second period with the game tied 1-1. While the Mavericks (0-1-0) were on the power play, a shot came from the point and missed before bouncing back on the left side.
Maverick freshmen Lucas Fransen snuck in from the blue line and had a wide-open net. However, Goepfert leaped to his right and knocked the puck away just in time.
"As soon as the shot missed the net, I saw everybody turn, so I got up as quick as I could," Goepfert said. "And by the time I got up, he put it in the air, and I was fortunate enough to get my leg on it."
Everyone in the arena was impressed by the save, including the coaches.
"He makes the saves that he should make, and every now and then he makes the saves he shouldn't," Pooley said. "That was one tonight where he maybe shouldn't have, but he does. And that's why he's a good goaltender for us."
"I think at times when a goalie is having a night like that … you've got to be real good, and you've got to be a little bit lucky," Jutting said.
Goepfert's solid play gave the Friars, who were outshot 35 to 28, a chance to win, which they did on Gajda's goal in the third.
With 10:03 left in the game, senior Jonathan Goodwin passed the puck from behind the net to Gajda in front. The forward put the puck past MSU's Jon Volp and into the right side of the net.
"It was a great play by Goodwin," Gajda said. "He took the guy with him behind the net, and I kept my stick down. Then I saw an opening and took it."
"I had a ton of shots, and I knew one of them was going to go. It was just a matter of when," added Gajda, who had four shots in the first period and six in the game.
The Mavericks, who haven't started the regular season with a win since the 1998-1999 season, came out strong and took a 1-0 lead at the 4:08 mark of the first.
The goal was a mirror image of what happened numerous times last season. Shane Joseph, the nation's top returning scorer, received a pass at center ice and split two Providence defensemen. He deked Goepfert to the ice and slid the puck inside the right post. Freshmen David Backes and Kyle Peto earned their first collegiate assists on the goal.
"He's electric," Pooley said of Joseph. "At times, he just toys with you."
Goepfert made amends for the goal and kept MSU scoreless the rest of the period. He robbed Joseph on five more shots in the first, and he stopped sophomore Ryan McKelvie's breakaway attempt by stacking the pads late in the period.
"The first period, he held us in there," Pooley said. "We gave up a lot of shots, and we bent but didn't break largely because of him."
Junior Chris Chaput notched the equalizer early in the second. Peter Zingoni attempted to put the puck in on a wraparound, but it slid across the crease and onto Chaput's stick. He lifted the puck past Volp at 3:32 of the period.
Jutting, who is 0-4 in regular season openers as a coach, didn't blame the loss on the fact that the Friars already have two games under their belts.
"I think it definitely helps to play two games already and be in that environment," Jutting said, "but I thought in a lot of ways we played a very good hockey game. You've got to score goals, though, if you're going to win. I think when you get the number of quality chances we did, you have to score. Providence is a very good hockey team."
"We did a lot of things good out there. We made a couple of mistakes, and they capitalized on them," Joseph said. "We had a lot of chances, and they had a really good 'tender."
The two teams will finish the nonconference series Saturday night with game time set for 7:05 p.m.
"We had a bunch of chances, and tomorrow we've just got to look at getting to the net and putting those chances in," Joseph said.

Sandra Bullock is in early talks to star in the political comedy "Our Brand Is Crisis" for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Peter Straughan ("The Men Who Stare at Goats") penned the film based on Rachel Boynton's 2005 documentary. That doco focused on the use of American political campaign strategies in Bolivia by President Clinton's former consultants James Carville and Stan Greenberg.
Bullock would play 'Calamity' Jane Bodine, a retired American political consultant who quotes famous people to hammer home her talking points.
Bullock's "Gravity" co-star George Clooney is set to produce the film along with his partner Grant Heslov. It's unclear if Clooney will co-star at this point, and he's is not expected to direct the film.

Pampas grass suffered bad press for a few years, following the trend of having them as lone plants in the middle of the lawn. They are now back in fashion, although this time they are firmly back in the border, planted alongside the swaying flower-heads of other ornamental grasses. 'Pumila' is a charming dwarf form that only reaches 1.5m (5ft) high. This may not sound very dwarf but, compared to the towering heights that other pampas grasses reach, it certainly qualifies for this description. Grow in any well-drained soil in a sunny position. Plants are best tidied annually to keep them free from debris which otherwise builds up and chokes out new growth. The plumes can be cut and dried for flower arranging, but are superb left in the garden where they look lovely rimed with frost in the winter. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

BNP Paribas In Probe by NY, Federal Investigators
By Shayndi Raice
BNP Paribas SA is being probed by New York investigators, as well as federal authorities, over transactions from Sudan, Iran and Cuba that possibly violated U.S. law, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Paris-based lender said Thursday it set aside $1.1 billion for possible violation of laws, in particular those of the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, related to transactions dating from 2002 to 2009.
The investigations are focused on both money laundering and U.S. sanctions violations that went through BNP units in the U.S., the person said. A deal with authorities isn't imminent and a penalty figure hasn't been agreed upon, the person familiar with the matter said.
A BNP spokeswoman declined to comment. In a statement earlier, the bank said there had been "no discussions with U.S. authorities about the amount of any fines or penalties."
BNP Paribas is being investigated by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, Benjamin Lawsky, the superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, and Cyrus Vance, the New York District Attorney. The involvement of Messrs. Bharara, Lawsky and Vance weren't previously known.
Nine banks, eight of them European, previously have settled allegations that they violated U.S. sanctions. The most recent was Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, which paid $33 million to settle a U.S. Treasury investigation in December.

According to the Canadian Olympic Committee in a press release on Monday, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Heather Moyse of Summerside, Prince Edward Island will participate as an athlete role model in the culture and education program at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games from August 16-28 in Nanjing, China.
Moyse won a gold medal with Kaillie Humphries of Calgary in women's bobsled at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Moyse is also a summer sports athlete as she has represented Canada at the 2006 and 2010 Rugby World Cup.
This will be the second Youth Olympic Games. The first took place in Singapore in 2010. Canada finished in 14th place in the medal standings with 14 medals-- three gold medals, one silver medal and eight bronze medals. The Canadian gold medalists were Dorothy Yeats of Montreal, Quebec in the women's 70 kilogram wrestling competition, Rachel Nicol of Lethbridge, Alberta in the women's 50m swimming breaststroke and Tera van Beilen of Oakville, Ontario in the women's 100m swimming breaststroke.

Mangrove species now in various stages of flower and fruit development
The seeds of the Florida coastal wetlands trees, collectively called mangroves, are all buoyant structures, maturing and falling during the late active phase of the hurricane season.
Red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle is currently in various of its reproductive stages from bud to fruiting to formation of seedlings with conspicuous radicles observed up to10" in length..
A shoot of black mangrove with characteristic silvery new leaves emerging is seen in the upper left corner of the photo at left.

Better Days Along Whiskey Creek
John U. Lloyd State Park in Dania Beach is very much improved since the late 1960's when murder and intrigue surfaced in the murky waters of Whiskey Creek, a water feature then coursing through a spooky forest of erroneously planted Australian Pine (Casuarina ). It was impossible in those days to truly enjoy a picnic or run on the carpet of caltrops shed by the trees, originally sown on the man-made barrier island with the idea they would somehow hold the sand in place. Instead, as time passed, the unnaturally placed trees thrived under the unnatural conditions, crowding out and shading out the type of natural recruitment which would have led to the development of sand trapping dunes.
Now nature has triumphed once again, as a combination of the Federal Wetlands Protection Act and hurricanes propelled into reality the ultimate eradication of pest Casuarina in favor of nature's plan. Red mangrove glistens along the edge of the still whiskey-colored estuary, but it is a friendly fringe now, teeming with shorebirds, overall a happier and more fitting approach to enjoyment of the beach.
Spanish Bayonet and Weathered Australian Pine Wood
Though their origins have been swept under the rug for the most part, there have been numerous forestry mistakes in the State of Florida over the centuries which caused misery and loss to both the human population and ecosystems. Sometimes the wastes and by-products of undoing errors are re-marketed to the public with as little research as was put into the original bad decision. Yet, a relatively safe bet may be the use of dead, dried and weathered Casuarina ("Australian pine," though it is not a pine per se) for decorative driftwood, not as just another trendy mulch.

|Yoshikazu Kawaguchi
Sakurai, Nara Prefecture, Japan
|farmer, author, teacher
|Known for
|Natural Farming methods
Yoshikazu Kawaguchi (川口由一 Kawaguchi Yoshikazu?) (1939 – ) is the leading Japanese practitioner of the "natural farming" method popularized by Masanobu Fukuoka and has farmed by this method in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture for 30 years.[1] He is a farmer, author, and founder of the Akame Natural Farming School, or 赤目自然農塾 in Japanese.
Unlike Fukuoka, who was from the landlord class, Kawaguchi was born the eldest son of a tenant farmer of many generations who aspired to become a painter, and attended Tennoji Art Institute, whilst continuing to work at the family's farm. His father died when Kawaguchi was only 11 years old, which meant he was forced to join the family farm. However, in 1978, after 22 years of conventional farming, he experience severe liver damage caused by the agricultural chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides used on the farm.[2] The failure of allopathic doctors to cure him led in response to Kawaguchi discovering Fukuoka's seminal book The One Straw Revolution, studying and starting to promote both Natural Farming and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He was also influenced by Wes Jackson, the founder and current president of The Land Institute; Kawaguchi is said to be the leading representative of the second generation of Natural Farming, using a gentler, more flexible approach to Fukuoka's, in which there are no definitive rules and each application depends on the individual environment.[3]
Natural farming[edit]
The natural farming method of Masanobu Fukuoka uses no fertilizers or chemicals and very little water. It allows crops and weeds to grow freely, requiring a minimum of human intervention.
Kawaguchi's work is based on Fukuoka's four main principles, those being; no plowing, no fertilizers, no weeding, and no chemicals. His first attempts were not successful until, he says, he understood that the aim was to cultivate land as in the very early days of cultivation rather than to let it go totally wild.[citation needed]
In 1991, he started Akame Natural Farming School which current has more than 10 sites and another 5 teaching traditional medicine and around 250 students. It is one of a number of voluntary agricultural schools in Japan. Graduates from the school have further opened 44 learning sites throughout Japan, where approximately 900 people study 'Natural Farming'. Kawaguchi is at the heart of the contemporary Natural Farmers network in Japan.[4]
He is a central character in the documentary film "Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness" (2016)[1] and in 1997, his work was featured in a documentary at the Yamagata International Documentary Festival and shown at the 2010 International Film Festival on Organic Farming in Tokyo [2].
In 2008 he spoke at the 17th National Gathering of Natural Farming Practitioners along with Manabu Sakai (member of House of Representatives) and representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Environment and the Agricultural and Life Sciences Department of University of Tokyo.

Ray Burton was the former Executive Council member in District 1 as well as the Grafton County Commissioner who sadly passed away after a battle with cancer. His seat is now open and an election is currently under way between Republican Joe Kenney and Democrat Mike Cryans. In what many find extremely disturbing, emails are being sent backing Mike Cryans from Ray Burton's email account. Another was sent today. How exactly is that possible? Why would someone use Burton's email and contacts to push Cryans or any candidate? Why would anyone believe that is acceptable?
Apparently this isn't the only email that has been sent and hundreds of people are getting them. Some people have been upset by this because they miss Ray and find this to be in poor taste. Burton cannot speak from the grave and no one should be sending emails in his name to anyone, let alone supporting a candidate that no one knows for sure Burton actually supported given the choices. Cryans should do himself a favor and ask that the emails cease. It would be interesting to know what other information Democrats have gained from whoever it is sending these emails. Burton most likely had different contacts than Cryans would as he was a Republican. Clearly the person is either being manipulated by Democrats or just doesn't see how wrong it is to send emails from someone who was very much loved but is no longer here.
NOTE: In 1996 Cryans ran against Burton and lost. Clearly Cryans is no Burton and that's made more obvious by these emails being sent in extremely poor taste.

Reporters arriving at Sochi had been tweeting astonishing photos of the conditions in their hotel rooms.
But there are a few things reporters have mentioned that are quirks to being in Russia.
There are some reports that Sochi's menus are offering "Cake in the ass" and "Ice cream in the Ass" and "Juice in the ass". All they are seeing is an abbreviation.
There are some words in Russia that are the same words in English, but Russian uses another alphabet.
The word for "assortment" in Russian is: ассортимент. Spoken, it is "assortment". The word for "ass" is жопа. Spoken, it is "zhopa".
Their word for assortment is an English word. It is completely acceptable in Russian to abbreviate ассортимент to асс, or "ass". Since this is an English word, it makes sense to do a direct translation from the Cyrillic to Latin alphabet. This direct translation is "ass", a word with a meaning in English that may elicit a giggle, but is still an abbreviation of the word assortment.
пирожные в ассортим means cake in (a/the) assortment.
Reporters also posted photos of signs warning them not to flush their toilet paper.
In Russia and many other countries, you will find signs warning you not to flush toilet paper in the toilet. Some toilets are not toilets in the American sense, but are a style called Turkish toilets. These toilets involve squatting over a trough rather than sitting on a seat.
While many of the reporters' concerns were legitimate, these concerns were the result of a differing culture.

Berkeley Primary Care Med Corp (Berkeley, CA)
Physicians reviewed: Gordon Benner, John Jauregui, Dr. Lee, Susan Lucas, Ed McLaughlin, Gino Pelle, Elizabeth Powell
No longer in this practice: Andrea Franchett
Editor Note: there is another practice on Dwight Way with a similar name: Berkeley Primary Care Clinic which is affiliated with Lifelong Medical Care.
I have been going to Berkeley Primary Care Medical Corps for awhile and have had Dr. Andrea Franchette as my primary MD. However, she has left the practice. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for other MD's in the office. I have seen Dr. Powell and thought she was OK, not great...
Editor Note: Dr. Franchett now practices at Temescal Creek Medicine
Re: General practitioner for husband
I posted for a male doctor a while back and got no responses, so here's what I've done since: http://www.berkeleydoctors.com/ I see Doctor Ako Jacintho there. I don't know about all the doctors in this clinic, but I really like Jacintho. So often they'll try to get you an earlier appointment with someone else, and in most cases I decline and wait to see Jacintho. He will transact with you over a secure website as well, including refilling easy scrips without a visit (assuming you're on an HMO - PPO is probably different). Good luck! Anon
Re: Primary care physician referrals
I really like my new primary care doctor, Susan Lucas at the Berkeley Doctors' Group on Regent Street, 510 848-7533. She's young but very smart, thorough, and kind. Meryl
Re: Female Primary Care Physican Needed
My mom, husband, and I have been seeing Elizabeth Powell for years now, and I like her very much. She's thorough and a good communicator, willing to listen to your concerns and take the time to respond. I switched to her when she was able to identify a drug allergy (unusual symptoms) that another on-call doctor couldn't. The office is right by Alta Bates on Colby St, 510-848-7533.
Re: Health Net Primary physician
Hi. I had been seeing Dr.Powell for about a year. If you can see Dr. Lee in the Berkeley Primary Care group, I'd suggest seeing her instead. She's new to the group, but friendly and fairly reasonable in this wonderful world of managed health care.
I would highly recommend Elizabeth Powell as an MD. She is thorough, respectful and very approachable. She has been my MD for several years and has alway been great. MK
Elizabeth Powell has been my primary care physician for about 8 years now, and my experiences with her have been pretty positive. I don't go to her anymore for my annual exam, since I acquired a GYN with my first pregnancy, but she's always been helpful for the few minor ailments I've picked up along the way, and she is certainly not patronizing. I don't think she would be hostile to alternative treatments, but I don't have personal knowledge of that, as I have been fortunate with my health and have not had much need to explore alternative medicine. You could probably arrange a ''get-acquainted'' meeting with her - - I know my OB/GYN did those, and Dr. Powell might, too. Wendy

CSPI Warns Consumers About Frito-Lay Light Chips with Olestra

The FACTS About Olestra (Olean)
WOW! Chips Have New Name, But Same Old Side Effects, Says CSPI
October 25, 2004
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) today warned consumers that Frito-Lays Light snack chips are fried in the infamous, diarrhea-inducing fake fat known as olestra. Formerly known as WOW! chips, the rebranded products are now called Layss Light, Ruffles Light, Doritos Light, and Tostitos Light. CSPI says the move increases the odds that unwitting consumers will experience the cramps, diarrhea, bleeding, stained underwear, or incontinence associated with olestra.
Today CSPI sent nearly 300 individual reports of olestra-related adverse reactions to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA had already received more than 20,000 such reportsmore than for any other food additive in history. Most of the reports involve diarrhea, gas, and cramps. Several of the recent victims sought emergency-room treatment, including a 33-year-old Georgia woman who experienced severe cramping and diarrhea after eating olestra-containing Ruffles chips. Several victims reported embarrassing episodes of fecal incontinence in the workplace; one 19-year-old man became incontinent on a date.
If youre going to buy Lays Light, Ruffles Light, or Doritos Light, you also might want to stock up on Cottonelle, Quilted Northern, or Charminand plan not to stray too far from the bathroom, CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson said. Frito-Lay should have rebranded these chips as OW! chips. This sudden name change is just a desperate attempt to revive a dying brand. Frito-Lay should have just pulled the plug altogether.
One 25-year-old woman from South Bend, Ind., recently ate some Ruffles Light Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips and reported severe diarrhea, gas, and nausea. I did not notice until after reading the ingredients and having severe intestinal problems [that] olestra was in the ingredients, she wrote on CSPIs web-based complaint form. My reaction was severely unpleasant.
In August 2003 the FDA dropped its requirement for a warning label on packages of olestra-containing chips. The label had read, This product contains Olestra. Olestra may cause abdominal cramping and loose stools. Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. Vitamins A, D, E and K have been added. In May of this year, the FDA approved olestra for use in microwave popcorn, though no popcorn makers have begun using it.
I threw away all my WOW! products, wrote one 42-year-old woman from Dearborn, MI. The pain was extreme.

Take a closer view of the women's studies network,
its activities and principles.
HILMA - the University Network for Women's Studies is a cooperation
project between eight women's studies units in Finland. The project
aims at improving cooperation in both teaching and research, as
well as at facilitating communication. HILMA is a network for all
women's studies units in Finland, their undergraduate and graduate
students, teachers and researchers, as well as administrators. HILMAs
core values are quality and productivity.
The idea for HILMA was initiated in 2001 by professor Aili Nenola
of the University of Helsinki. HILMA includes eight universities:
the Universities of Helsinki, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Lapland,
Tampere, Turku and Oulu as well as Åbo Akademi.
HILMAs goal is to ensure cooperation in women's studies on the
national level. HILMA organises and arranges both traditional and
virtual courses. It is involved in planning and organising national
Doctoral Studies together with the Gender
System Graduate School, as well as the co-operation between
local Master Programmes. It will also organize further education
for teachers in the field: education of feminist university-pedagogy
will be developed.
Here in portal HILMA informs her readers about current affairs
in women's studies, such as seminars, doctoral dissertations and
conferences. This serves as a window into women's studies also for
those outside the academia. You will get to our calendar by using
"This happens in Finland/Europe"-links
on the left.
HILMA is building also international networks. The cooperation
partners are presented here.
HILMA gets her funding from the Finnish Ministry of Education and
is coordinated by the University of Helsinki.
