College Hockey:Flanagan Stars As SLU Stops Quinnipiac Streak
CANTON, N.Y. — Freshman forward Sean Flanagan scored one goal and set up the game winner for his first two collegiate points as St. Lawrence snapped Quinnipiac's eight-game unbeaten streak with a come-from-behind 3-2 win in ECAC Hockey League action Saturday afternoon.
The Saints ran their own win streak to five games and won back-to-back ECACHL series for the first time in six seasons.
The Saints swept their second straight league series and improved to 6-3-0 overall and 4-0-0 in the ECACHL. Quinnipiac, 5-3-2 overall and 2-1-1 in league play, sustained its first league loss. The 4-0 league start for the Saints is the best since the 1999-2000 season which also won its first four league games.
Flanagan rushed into the Quinnipiac zone off the Saint bench with 6:40 to play in the third period and beat a Bobcat defender to the puck in the corner. He snapped a quick pass to classmate Travis Vermeulen, who was all alone in front of Quinnipiac goalie Bud Fisher and Vermeulen buried his second of the season at 6:44 to give the Saints the eventual game-winner.
"The goal obviously fired Sean up and he went into the corner after the puck like he was shot out of a cannon," said Saint coach Joe Marsh. "He made a great play all the way around and Travis made a great play to finish it off. Our young guys have really stepped in and contributed and it has been someone different just about every time out."
It took a 12-save period from junior goaltender Justin Pesony and some anxious moments in the final 1:21 with the Bobcat net empty in favor of an extra attacker as the Saints held on for their fifth straight win.
"Quinnipiac is an outstanding team and very skilled offensively. We needed a big night from Justin and we got it. I thought he did an excellent job tonight. Our penalty killing was also outstanding … it was an excellent weekend all the way around," Marsh added.
The Bobcats scored the only goal of an even first period when junior Dan Travis tipped the puck out of the air and under the crossbar on a power play with 45.6 seconds to play in the period. Brandon Wong took the puck from defenseman Reid Cashman and sent it sailing toward the net before Travis tipped it for his third of the season.
The Saints had two great chances earlier in the period, but Fisher came up with a big save on Saint Flanagan and Saint senior defenseman Drew Bagnall had the puck roll off his stick before he could tuck it past Fisher on a two-on-one with seven minutes to go in the period.
SLU came back to tie the game at 6:26 of the second period as freshman Mike McKenzie sent classmate Flanagan in alone on Fisher and Flanagan, a Canton native, scored his first collegiate goal on a tuck-in.
The Bobcats retook the lead on freshman Brandon Wong's eighth of the year on a wrist shot just under the crossbar at 11:37, but the Saints tied it again when junior Charlie Giffin jammed home a power play shot from right in front for his fifth of the season at 13:33.

I stopped by a Bass Pro Shop this afternoon as I was travelling, and I was pleased to see that they had some ammo in stock - Remington Golden Saber in pretty much all of the major calibers. I picked up a box of 9mm and a box of .38 and hit the road.
Once I got where I was going, I decided to switch out the basic Walmart-bought Remington hollowpoints in the 642 I was carrying with the Golden Sabers. As I was pulling the GS rounds out of the box, I first noticed that most of them were very dirty - lots of excess bullet lube or something all over the place. Not really a big deal.
I looked a little closer and noticed that every one of them has a very noticeable "defect" in the case - I say defect since I can't see why it would be there by design. I've never really seen anything like this on factory ammo. It's located on the side of each case, very close to the base. The mark is shaped like a broken "0" and is mostly consistent in appearance on each case - the consistency kinds makes me think it's normal, but I'm just not sure.
Does this sound normal or should I be concerned about it?

Call of Duty Black Ops is one of the popular series of the COD series and here is something which may hold your breath for a second. Yes as expected Activision have confirmed the call of duty Game this year will be a sequel to Black Ops. Unlike the First game, which took place during the Cold war held between USA and USSR, this one will take place in the near future and will deal with the looming threat of all out global conflict.
While Black Ops 2 looks like any prior Call of Duty game, it's interesting to see that Treyarch have now added in a bit of open –endlessness into the game. This does'nt means the franchise is now in open-world territory , but players will have a choice in undertaking certain missing and the strory will then play out depending on the choices they make. These choices may also affect the fate of some of their squad mates.
These concept are'nt exactly unheard of in the industry, but it's refereshing to see Treyarch try something different with the franchise. Expect more call of Duty: Black Ops 2 at E3 2012, and make sure your calender because that's is when the game will release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
You can pre-order the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 by following this link.

Salt Storage Leads to High Blood Pressure
A new study in the journal Nature Medicine claims consuming too much sodium leads to an increased accumulation of salt in the interstitium of the skin, i.e. the area between cells. This process is regulated in our bodies by special white blood cells known as macrophages and within these macrophages scientists found a gene regulator called TonEBP. TonEBP turns on another gene that controls the production of lymphatic blood vessels. In the study, experts observed a high-salt diet causes lymphatic vessels to increase, leading to hypertension in animals; via EurekAlert!
In March, research showed consuming salt decreases levels of an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which signals nearby muscles to relax, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. This is similar to another study that showed switching to a low-salt diet helps blood vessels relax.
In related news, a previous report determined regardless of genetics or gender, people who excreted more salt had higher blood pressure.

Staying on Track
The world never stands still — and neither should your portfolio. As changes happen in your life and the economy that could impact your future, it makes sense to adjust accordingly.
Significant life events
- Receiving a raise or inheritance may mean you have more money to contribute to your plan.
- Changes in marital status may mean you need to revise your beneficiary form and review your entire financial plan.
- Changes in tax laws may mean you can contribute more to your 401(k) or IRAs than you have been. Make sure you stay on top of contribution limits and discuss your options with your financial advisor.
- Job changes may mean it's time to consolidate a previous 401(k) within your current employer's plan, or roll them over into another vehicle such as an IRA.
By following up on the changes you have identified in your annual review, you can ensure that your retirement strategy remains current with your personal circumstances.
Economic indicators
As an investor, you'll want to be aware of economic indicators and how they may potentially affect your portfolio.
- The Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
This is a measurement of overall economic growth. The rate of growth is particularly key — historically it has averaged between 2.5 and 3 percent annually, although there have been considerable fluctuations. The GDP is the total market value of all goods and services produced in the country in a given year. A country's rate of growth is important to investors because healthy growth may translate into relative stability in the financial markets.
- Interest rates
As controlled by the Federal Reserve, interest rates are related to our nation's growth rate and therefore can influence the performance of the financial markets. If the Fed believes an economic slowdown is likely, it may lower short-term rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. When economic growth is strong, historically the Fed has followed the opposite strategy and has raised interest rates with the goal of preventing runaway growth (which can lead to inflation).
- Inflation
This figure represents the increase in the cost of goods and services over time and is measured by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, on a monthly basis. While the inflation rate recently has averaged close to 4.0 percent, historically it has varied considerably through the years. Inflation is a major concern to retirement investors. When investing for retirement, it's important that your rate of return exceeds the rate of inflation.

I had a bag of cranberries sitting in my freezer since Christmas, just waiting to be used. I finally decided I had to make something with them or I would just end up throwing them a way. A quick Google search for cranberry bread brought me to the most amazing Cranberry Orange Bread with a sweet cinnamon streusel on top.
This bread is very easy to make and tastes wonderful. I love the extra punch of flavor the orange zest adds to the bread. The streusel on top is what really makes this bread special. Anything with streusel is always better.
Cranberry Bread (recipe adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction)
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons (30g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, cold
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (110g) chopped cranberries, fresh or frozen (unthawed)*
1/2 cup (65g) chopped pecans, optional
1 large egg, at room temperature*
1/2 cup (105g) light brown sugar (or dark brown)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (no substitutions)
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil (or canola; or melted coconut oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons orange zest
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray.
Make the streusel first: Toss the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter, your hands, or two forks. Some large crumbs are OK.
Make the bread: In a large bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, salt, cranberries, and pecans together until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until combined. Make sure there are no brown sugar lumps remaining. Whisk in the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and orange zest. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until there are no more lumps. Try very hard not to overmix, which will result in a tough textured bread.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Top evenly streusel, pressing the streusel down gently into the top of the bread so it sticks.
Bake the bread for 45 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to ensure even browning. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. Allow bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

ZF-3377: clear Recipients function
I would suggest to add a function "clearRecipients()" to Zend_Mail. It allows one to send personalised mails to more than one recipient without creating a new mail object each time:
public function clearRecipients() { $this->_to = array(); $this->_recipients = array();
So it's possible to do something like this: - create mail object, set subject and so on - add recipient - set mail text to something like "Dear Mr Miller, ..." - send mail - clear recipients - add new recipient - set mail text to something like "Dear Mrs Miller, ..." - send mail ...
I'm not sure how useful this is. What you want to do can be solved by just creating a new Zend_Mail object. The only property you don't change (or maybe you just didn't mention it) is the subject. As long as you reuse the transport (if you're using SMTP) sending multiple mails is not a problem. But maybe I'm just missing something?!
A more important example would be attachments. Imagine you have attached some images and other files to one mail object, it's not a very good idea to load all this data for every single mail, just because you want to change the recipient.
Totally agree with Gunter. It is the basic functionallity. Why would i have to create new object while i can reuse some. Please consider that. I need fx. clearRecipients(), clearSubject().
I think it duplicates ZF-1626

A woman with her grandchildren in a vehicle was charged with being nearly three times the legal limit late this afternoon when she was stopped by officer Brian Brashears of the Lawrenceburg Police Department.
Pamela G. Perkins, 52, of 131 Sunrise Lane, Lancaster faces charges of DUI, two counts of second-degree wanton endangerment, careless driving, no license, no insurance, failure to wear a seat belt and failure to have children properly restrained in her vehicle.
The children, ages 8 and 10, were turned over to a family member who came to get them.
Federal marshals swooped into the Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show tonight and arrested a carnival worker wanted on a charge of aggravated rape.
The worker is identified as Sean Halper, 28, of Worcester, Massachusetts, where the alleged rape occurred.
Agents with the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force, along with Det. Sgt. Bryan Taylor of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, made the arrest around 6 p.m. at the fair.
Taylor is a member of the Eastern District of Kentucky Fugitive Task Force.
The annual fireworks display in Lawrenceburg is scheduled for dusk Monday, July 4 in the Anderson County Park.
The day's festivities will kick off at 5:30 with the annual Veterans Parade that will travel from American Legion Post 34 on Broadway to Main Street and Lawrenceburg Green.
Participants are asked to begin lining up at 4:30 p.m. at the American Legion. The Legion's Auxiliary will provide hot dogs, chips and other refreshments to participants.
Jordan Faith Blackhurst was crowned Miss Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show Monday night at the American Legion Fairgrounds.
"I'm so excited," she said, minutes after winning the title. "It's fun to be able to represent your hometown."
Blackhurst isn't a stranger to pageants. She previously was Miss Lexington Bluegrass Fair and Miss Teen in the Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show.
She said the competition was tough. "All the girls are pretty and had a fair chance of winning," she added.
The Ripy Street man facing a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge for tying up his dog and allowing it to starve cannot be be charged with a felony, according to County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis, who is prosecuting the case.
During a hearing last Thursday in Anderson District Court that included Howard D. Tinnell, 39, of 308 Ripy St., entering a plea of not guilty, Lewis revealed that although an autopsy of the dog shows that it starved to death, that does not rise to the level of torture, which is required under Kentucky statutes to bring a felony charge.
Taxpayers continued to foot the bill for natural gas and electricity for months after the coroner's office at Eagle Lake was closed.
According to documents obtained by The Anderson News, the Anderson County Fiscal Court approved payments totaling just over $1,000 from the time the coroner's office was moved to the Extension building in the county park in July of 2015 through June 1 of this year.
Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton called continuing to pay those utility bills an "oversight."
While most teenagers spend the summer lounging around the pool, soon-to-be Anderson County High School senior Avery Reynolds will be traveling across the country with her family to the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming.
Avery earned a spot in the world's largest rodeo by winning the barrel racing and pole bending competitions at the state level. She was also named Miss Central Kentucky Regional High School Rodeo Queen.
"Rodeo is what I love," she explained. "It's my passion."
The 2016 Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show continues through Saturday at the American Legion Fairgrounds.
Cost of admission is $10 per person and includes all shows, carnival rides and attractions.
The side shows continue each evening. Joey's Bubble Factory opens the shows each evening at 6:30 p.m. Jurassic Kingdom performs at 7:30 p.m. Beast Riders Motorcycle Globe Show begins at 8:30 p.m., followed by Zega the Robot at 9:30 p.m.
If you live in Lawrenceburg, you may have seen Mary Cappello zipping around town in her ELF — a bright orange, odd-looking contraption that is actually a bike, but looks more like a bike trailer for a child.
"People stop me all the time," she said with a smile.
Cappello bought the ELF after a leg injury left her immobile. Pedaling the ELF helped in her recovery.
"I was laid up for about a year and a half and had gained a lot of weight," she explained. "(Using the ELF daily) also helped me lose 150 pounds."
Anderson County High School softball player Mia Aldridge continues to pull in the honors. Aldridge, who graduated last month, has been named to the Kentucky All-Star team, which will play the Tennessee All-Stars on Wednesday, June 29 at South Warren High School in Bowling Green.
Aldridge, who will attend Campbellsville University, was selected as a pitcher and outfielder for the team.
Aldridge becomes the first Anderson County player selected for the all-star games since Courtney Turpin in 2010.

What is the effect of paying credit card in full or with interest on your credit score?
Credit card issuers do not report whether you paid the balance in full to the credit reporting agencies. What is reported each month is your balance and whether you made the required payment, but not the size of the payment. From what I can tell, this is reported to the credit reporting agencies at about the same time as your monthly bill is issued, i.e., it's your statement balance.
If your monthly balance is reported as $4500 one month and then $4000 the next, there is no way to tell from your credit report whether you paid the $4500 in full and ran up another $4000 the next month, or made a single $500-ish payment and are carrying the balance.
Since this information is not on your credit report, it cannot (and does not) affect your credit score.
If the balance is higher than it otherwise would be because you are carrying multiple months of spending on the card rather than paying it off each month, this can affect your credit score because it increases utilization. The less utilization, the higher the score. It used to be that utilization didn't have too significant of an impact on your score until it reached 50%, but apparently it has some effect at 20%.
The fact that you carry balance by itself will not affect as it is not reported.
What's reported is your current balance, whether you pay "as agreed" (i.e.: at least the minimum), and whether you pay "more than minimum" (some creditors report that as well).
However, spending more than what you can pay over prolonged periods of time will definitely lead to higher debt to credit ratio, and this is what is affecting the credit score.

That hatred took him into a world of heavy drinking and smoking that lasted through much of his service with the Dutch air force. In April 1960, while stationed in the Netherlands, he collapsed. The doctor found spots in Hubert's lungs, and his liver was almost completely gone. He was given six to eight months to live.
"I got shocked," he said. "I got scared."
He started to clean up his act, and soon a young naval officer asked Hubert if he could give her a ride to church. It was an LDS Church. Hubert was baptized Aug. 5, 1960.
"And by the way," Hubert said, leaning forward and lowering his voice a bit, "the young ladies were so pretty in church, and I was single," he laughed as Carmen sighed.
Shortly after Hubert joined, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints needed some people who could build chapels. Hubert had his visa ready to go to the United States. But in an experience he said was "like Samuel," he was awakened in the middle of the night and told to stay and serve. His service helped him in more ways than one.
"That was simply something that I had to do … to get rid of the urge." His more structured life during his 2 1/2 years of service helped him resist the need to smoke or stop in the bar on the corner.
Not changed enough
Although he had quit drinking and smoking and had joined the church, Hubert still struggled for about 45 years. He suffered from chronic migraines and nightmares.
"I'd see the bayonets still coming, and the Samurai still coming, and the beheadings," he said of his nightmares.
Two marriages failed because he was just too hard to live with. His 40-year marriage to Carmen hasn't been without struggles, either. Ten years into their marriage, Carmen took the kids and left temporarily.
Carmen said he was so messed up that "there wasn't even a profile for him." But he sought help, and Carmen came back.
"She worked real hard and used her skills to make me change and think differently," Hubert said of his wife.
He remembers talking years ago to former fellow ward member and Japanese internment camp survivor Gene Jacobsen, author of "We Refused to Die."
"I remember the cigarette burns on my body and the stabbing with the bayonet. I said, 'I cannot forget that.'" Jacobsen told him to forgive the Japanese because it would change Hubert's life as it did his.
"He was able to refine himself and get over it, and I didn't," Hubert said. "I had to carry it with me."
Hubert's final turning point happened just more than 10 years ago when James Matsumori, the current president of the Washington D.C. North Mission and husband of former general Primary presidency member Vicki Matsumori, was called as the stake president over Hubert's old stake in Murray, Utah.
"It felt like I was kicked real hard in the butt," he said of finding out about the calling. At the time, he was serving as the stake's satellite specialist. In the years Hubert worked with Matsumori, he grew to love and respect him.
"He is the most wonderful man that I've ever run into," Hubert said. His relationship with Matsumori helped change his view of all Japanese people.
"They had a conversation and big hug where everything just kind of melted away," Carmen said, describing a particular Sunday morning that found the two men setting up for a broadcast.
"We were just bawling like little kids," Hubert said. "That was the point that I — sorry, I may get a little emotional — that was the point that made … the change in me. … It was the bottom line and the best thing that ever happened to me in my life."

By leroyk on Jun 02, 2007
So the Solaris is now installing now and all is quiet and stable. I will not say that too loud. So I now have a several reqeusts for all you OpenSolaris and Solaris developers out there. Maybe Project Indiana will address some of these RFE's.
1. We should change how focus works during the install. Why not put the cursor or focus on the first field you are going to fill out. There are screens that you must click in the first field before you type. You do not realize until you have type the complete input stream and nothing shows on the screen.
2. Support integrated networking for x86 Solaris better. I had no problems with the integrated network port on Nvidia based chipsets but the Intel chipsets force me to add in a PCI card for network. Hopefully our relationship with Intel will fix this irritation.
3. Set the disk layout interface to put the majority of disk in / not /export. Why we still do this I do not know. I know there are good reasons but I do not have the history. This is becomes fun especially when you install JES (Java Enterprise System) and the JES installer puts all its components in /opt which has no room because you did not change the disk layout during the Solaris install. Minor but irritating.
Well Solaris is jsut about done installing. Time to apply updates change the hosts file, enable ftp and console access. Hey its a demo box. The Portal 7u1.

JavaCAPS things you may miss...
By leroyk on May 24, 2007
While working with a customer today, I noticed something that both individuals
missed when working with JavaCAPS. The product allows you to define one or
more environments(Dev, Test, Prod, Other). When creating the deployment
profile in an environment with two definitions. Both failed to select the correct
environment from the drop menu althought they both set up the environments
correctly. So be careful out there.

These seat covers go on quick and easy. They are heavy duty and cover the front and rear seat completely - they have a thin rubber backing that helps it not to slide around on the seat fabric and heavy velcro that open for the seatbelts and the headrest. I thought they were a little pricey but actaully a good value - I would buy again.

PLAYING TAPS: I know I'm constantly rambling on in many of my articles about the ability of the Native American flute to generate any and all kinds of music. But today I thought of a tune I wanted to post for you that would be an especially vivid example of just how powerful the Native American flute is. There is a tune in the United States that is familiar to all. It's called "Taps", and it's played at every military funeral and thousands upon thousands of Memorial Day programs across the United States. It's even played every sundown at military installations. Those of us in the US know that this venerable tune is played on the bugle. One day as I was musing about what kinds of songs to try next on the Native American flute, I thought I would give "Taps" a try. To my utter astonishment, it was easy to play and sounded beautiful. Now, we can get all snarled up in philosophy and morality about playing "Taps" on a military bugle -- that same military that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Native Americans 150 years or more ago. But we have all come together since then. We are one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The Native American flute can proudly take its place next to the military bugle. It's neither above it, nor below it. It's neither better, or worse. It's just another instrument, just like the bugle is another instrument. The point here is not the instrument. The point is what comes out of the instrument. So, have a listen, and see if you agree that "Taps" sounds absolutely beautiful on the Native American flute.
Click to hear "Taps" on the Native American flute.

While planning to sign the state budget, Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced a series of line-item budget vetoes today and stated a plan will be in place administratively by Sept. 1 to expand health care to Virginians who need it.
The Republican-led General Assembly sent a two-year, $96 billion plan to the governor last week, just ahead of the start of the new fiscal year July 1. At a press conference in Richmond on Friday, McAuliffe, a Democrat, said he may have vetoed the entire budget had the tight timeline not been a factor.
Instead, he plans to sign it, but with the vetoes and plans of "moving forward" with Medicaid expansion on his own. He has directed Virginia Secretary of Health Bill Hazel to submit a plan to his desk by Sept. 1 on how federally funded expansion of Medicaid — which serves the working poor, disabled and others — will take place.
McAuliffe said the "lies, fears and cowardice" that have dominated the debate over expanding Medicaid must end, directing his words mainly toward Republicans in the House of Delegates who have "stubbornly refused" any offer to expand health care since he took office in January.
The budget included a Senate amendment insisted from the House that requires General Assembly action before funds can be appropriated for Medicaid expansion. It was a move served to prevent the governor from taking unilateral action to expand.
McAuliffe vetoed that amendment Friday, and appears poised to expand health care on his own. He also vetoed the Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission in its "entirety." MIRC had been tasked with overseeing reforms before expansion takes place, and was led by Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Mount Solon, and Del. Steve Landes, R-Weyers Cave.
"It is merely a sham," the governor said, "to pretend that the legislature is actually doing something with health care."
The House will convene at 5 p.m. Monday, followed by the Senate at 6 p.m., to consider McAuliffe's actions. The General Assembly can override a governor's veto.
The governor said he may have additional vetoes or amendments for lawmakers to consider. He has until Sunday to act.

A game of ads: Why violence in advertising is seizing the throne
Nick Briggs, Associated Press
Seven hundred fifty-two stains makes for a lot of laundry.
That's how many stains Tide tallied at the close of Season 4 of HBO's popular fantasy drama "Game of Thrones" in a Twitter advertisement earlier this spring.
Most of the stains were blood (530 by Tide's count), but the list included two "giant stains" (a nod to the show's slaying of two giants) and one "royal stain" (signifying the death of evil King Joffrey early in the season). In a grisly acknowledgement of Prince Oberyn's death scene (assassin The Mountain crushed Oberyn's skull by pressing his thumbs into Oberyn's eye sockets), Tide also plugged its "Stain Brain" app with a graphic of hands with bloodied thumbs. The app helps users figure out how to best get certain kinds of stains out.
The ad was cleverly hashtagged #TideGetsItOut. The Twitter response to Tide's ad was warm — the stain tweet and another "Thrones"-related tweet netted a combined 2,612 retweets and 3,197 favorites. AdWeek, A List Daily and Trend Hunter all applauded the ad as a shrewd and innovative way to engage with the 18 million who watch HBO's most popular show.
Violence in advertising is nothing new. The difference, these days, seems to lie with viewers who have an elevated threshold for violent advertising content. As Slate reported back in January, even humor relies on violence to get its message across: Researchers at Wright State found that the number of Super Bowl ads that relied on "violent, aggressive humor" rose dramatically from 13.6 percent to 73.4 percent between 1989 and 2009. Slate's story concluded that the uptick was advertisers' attempt to better grab a veiwer's attention.
The hike in violent content is call for concern, says Dr. Kirk O. Hanson, a business ethicist and executive director of Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
"The backdrop of this ad is that we're having a national debate about increased violence in the media in general, but particularly on cable-produced shows," Hanson said. "Younger demographics like Millenials may have a higher threshold for violence like this, but it doesn't mean that violence is not doing something to their values and sensitivities."
Struggle for relevance
Because shows like "Game of Thrones" generally attract younger viewers, Tide actually made a good business decision by targeting its ads to youth-driven social media, argued Boston University advertising professors Tobe Berkovitz and Ed Boches. These ads, Berkovitz argued, are not controversial or overly violent.
"Advertising frequently tries to see what it can get away with. That's the nature of it. You've got to get people's attention," Berkotvitz said. "The modern world of advertising is social media. As long as you stay away from social hot-button issues like sexuality or race, you have a better chance of getting away with things."
Boches, who worked in advertising for decades before he turned to teaching, also pointed out that advertisers are adapting to media shifts away from TV and print as the only avenues to reach consumers. That's likely why ads like Tide's appeared on Twitter rather than on TV: To target and appeal to the very specific-but-large audience that watches "Game of Thrones."
"My mom is probably never going to see this because it's on Twitter. Another way to look at this is that the likelihood of this being seen beyond 'Game of Thrones' audience is slim," Boches said. "Tide is just smart enough to realize there's a huge number of people watching this show."

College Hockey:Strong Third Period Carries Princeton Past BGSU
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Bowling Green struck first in the first period, but visiting Princeton scored the deciding goal and an insurance goal in the third period for a 4-2 nonconference win over the Falcons in the BGSU Ice Arena, 4-2.
The Falcons' special teams showed signs of improvement with two power-play goals while holding Princeton to 0-for-5 on its power-play tries. However, two third-period goals by the Tigers proved to be the difference.
The Falcons' special teams netted the first goal of the game when senior Greg Day took a pass from D'Arcy McConvey on the left-side of the crease and shot past Tiger goalie Dave Stathos at 9:42 of the first period. Day's power-play goal was the first for BGSU in four games and snapped an 0-for-13 stretch. Linemate Scott Hewson was also credited with an assist.
BGSU went to the locker room with a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period despite being outshot 13-9
Princeton tied the game at 4:19 of the second period with a goal from Trevor Beaney. The Falcons responded, though, with another power play goal from McConvey at 10:06 to retake the lead. Hewson and Day assisted on the goal. The first line for Bowling Green accounted for all six points.
Another goal from Princeton at 14:30 in the second period by Matt Maglione knotted the game at 2-2, which held until the third period. Scott Prime gave the visitors the lead for good at 10:44 of the third and David Del Monte added an empty-net goal at 18:49 for the final 4-2 verdict.
Princeton outshot Bowling Green 33-22 for the game. Falcon goalie Tyler Masters had 29 saves in 59:32 of action while Stathos had 20 saves for the Tigers. Both teams had seven penalties.
Day extended his current scoring streak to three games (3-2–5). McConvey now has a two-game point streak.
The Falcons fall to 5-14-4 overall while Princeton moves to 5-11-0. Both teams meet up again Saturday night at BGSU Ice Arena. Faceoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Tinker Public Affairs
7/9/2010 -
TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla.
-- June 29 commemorated an end and a beginning. The 72nd Contracting Squadron deactivated and became the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center Operational Contracting Division. The unit is aligned with the OC-ALC Contracting Directorate.
Held in the Tinker Club ballroom, approximately 100 people attended the ceremony that also praised Lt. Col. Richard Ward, contracting squadron commander, for his efforts and rewarded him with the Meritorious Service Medal - second oak leaf cluster.
"This marks the next evolutionary step here at Tinker," said Col. Herbert Wesselman, 72nd Mission Support Group commander and presiding officer. "Today's ceremony doesn't change the mission; all it does is change the organizational alignment."
Introduced six years ago, the contracting squadron has been overseen by two leaders. Lt. Col. Robert Bruce led the group first and was succeeded by Colonel Ward in 2007. During the squadron's tenure, more than 13,000 contracts valued at $1.4 billion were executed.
"The 72nd Contracting team has literally touched everybody's lives here and enabled them to accomplish their mission in one way, shape or form," Colonel Wesselman said. "Not only did the team support all of our mission partners on Tinker, but it did so in a manner reflecting the Air Force core values."
While under the leadership of Colonel Ward, the squadron executed and managed more than 7,700 construction, service and supply contracts, worth approximately $2.7 billion. Additionally, Colonel Ward orchestrated deployments for 11 contracting officers in five countries and scored an "excellent rating" during the 2009 Air Force Materiel Command's Operational Readiness Inspection.
"I would like to thank a big and important group to me whose hard work and dedication directly resulted in the success of the squadron - the professional men and women of the 72nd Contracting Squadron," Colonel Ward said. "I love all you guys. I've had such a great time here. I will miss you a great deal; you are a wonderful group. You've made my command rewarding and fun to come to work."
Colonel Ward said while the squadron will report to a new director, Col. Scott Kiser, OC-ALC/PK director, the reorganization will be transparent to local contracting customers. Personnel will work from the same location in Bldg. 1 and service the same contracts and organizations.
The new division will further be divided into four branches. They are PKO: Operational Contracting; PKOA: Operational Contracting A, which is base support; PKOB: Operational Contracting B, which is construction; and, PKOP: Plans and Programs.
The 72nd CONS inactivation ceremony is just one of two that is expected in the next 30 days. The 327th Aircraft Sustainment Wing is expected to deactivate, realigning its personnel into the Aerospace Sustainment Directorate.

Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 33min
After graduating college, Eric Saperston set out on a summer vacation. He took his Golden Retriever, Jack, hopped into a 1971 Volkswagen bus and set out on the road to capture the collective wisdom of our most thoughtful elders. He wanted to interview them and learn from their experiences. Along the way, his trip turned into a modern day Wizard of Oz. When Eric started, all he had with him was a still camera and a journal to document his adventures. As the journey unfolded, he purchased a video camera, picked up three other travelers and they found their way into the homes and hearts of people most of us only dream of meeting. In the end, although the wisdom they found from the elders was compelling, it was their own journeys that brought them the greatest insights. Just like the song says, "Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't already have."

It's getting warmer and that means more time spent outside withe grill! We've gotten great use out of our fabulous grill since we received it as a wedding present, but the grill is getting even more of a workout now that the weather is staying nice. Some of you may know that I used to be a vegetarian… that being said I still don't gravitate toward meat — let alone red meat. However, maybe once every 1-2 months John and I grill a mean steak. Below is our grill where the magic happens.
Part of why the steak turns out so yummy is because of the amazing rub we use on it. It's an English Prime Rib Rub perfect for any beef grilling from Penzey's Spices. We actually received as a wedding present as part of a our "Spicy Wedding" spice gift set from my friends Beth and Leslie. Below is the picture of my dinner… steak, potatoes, a grilled portobello mushroom, and a side of fruit salad. I realize the dinner looks pretty non-colorful (aside from the fruit) but it was definitely soo yummy and I got a big veggie portion in with that portobello mushroom – so at least that was good.
Below is the colorful and delicious fruit salad. Included are: clementines, pears, apples, and strawberries. I love throwing together a yummy fruit salad with all the fruit I have in my kitchen at the time! We also had blueberries in the house but both John and I don't love love (only like) blueberries as much fresh… we like to make homemade blueberry muffins and fruit smoothies — there is where the blueberries are yum yummy!
Below I actually decided to save my fruit salad for on top of homemade vanilla frozen yogurt from Mitchell's. I added a little chocolate syrup drizzle too. I was trying to be very good! Oh, as a side note, the clementines tastes a little weird in the frozen yogurt but the other fruits worked perfectly.
So this is what took place last night! It was a fun dinner to prepare and eat!

The author has written about 1954's The Country Girl before, but in the wake of Robin Williams' suicide, it deserves a second look.
The film stars William Holden, Grace Kelly, and Bing Crosby. Bernie Dodd (Holden) needs to find a lead for his musical play and he has Frank Elgin (Crosby) audition. His producer, Phillip Cook (Anthony Ross) is hesitant because Frank Elgin is a known alcoholic and doesn't want to bear the burden of dealing with that on top of getting a show ready. Dodd saw Frank Elgin in a show when he was younger, and takes it upon himself to take every responsibility to make sure this comeback works for him, for Elgin, and for Cook. Dodd notices that Elgin is not in the building, and Cook tells him to check the bar. Dodd checks every bar he can find before he goes to Frank's apartment, and meets his wife, Georgie (Kelly). The two do not start friendly, as she learns about him and asks him questions that Bernie thinks she should not be asking. Frank comes in and eventually agrees to be apart of the production. During rehearsals, Bernie gets the impression that Georgie is emasculating Frank and is the real person with the problems, and that Frank is only drinking to cope. This is the mid-1950s, so clearly any psychology can be considered dated. Frank even says that Georgie tried to commit suicide. Bernie, who is divorced, is led to think the worst of Georgie, and when she wants to talk to him, he yells at her and argues. You will have to see the film to see how it develops.
It is an important film that explores the psychology of addiction and depression, what causes it, and what drives a person to ruin because of it. It also explores the fragile, destroying strength of being married to someone who suffers from addiction and depression. It also shows the fortitude of love amid every personal adversity.
So, you can see the film, and you can also help those in need who have self-destructive behaviors. Here is the numbers to the Summit County Suicide Hotline:

Competition Policy and Comparative Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises
D. Daniel Sokol
University of Florida - Levin College of Law; George Washington University Law School Competition Law Center
February 5, 2010
Brigham Young University Law Review, Vol. 2009, No. 1713-1812, 2009
University of Florida Levin College of Law Research Paper No. 2010-02
The legal origins literature overlooks a key area of corporate governance - the governance of state-owned enterprises ("SOEs"). There are key theoretical differences between SOEs and publicly-traded corporations. In comparing the differences of both internal and external controls of SOEs, none of the existing legal origins allow for effective corporate governance monitoring. Because of the difficulties of undertaking a cross-country quantitative review of the governance of SOEs, this Article examines, through a series of case studies, SOE governance issues among postal providers. The examination of postal firms supports the larger theoretical claim about the weaknesses of SOE governance across legal origins. In itself, the lack of effective corporate governance would not be fatal if some of the SOE's inefficient and societal-welfare-reducing behavior could be remedied under antitrust law. However, a review of antitrust decisions on the issue of predatory pricing by SOEs reveals that antitrust is equally ineffective in its attempts to monitor SOEs. This Article concludes by identifying a number of devices to reduce the current inadequacies of both antitrust and corporate governance of SOEs.

Viscosity and Scale-Invariance in 2D and 3D Fermi Gases
Transport in strongly interacting quantum systems is of great interest
in diverse areas of physics — condensed matter, black holes and string
theory, quark-gluon plasmas and cold atoms — which, at first sight,
appear to have little in common. In this talk, I will focus on ultracold
Fermi gases across the BCS-BEC crossover where there has
been an explosion of experimental and theoretical progress. I will
discuss exact viscosity sum rules [1] that relate transport, spectroscopy
and thermodynamics, and their implications for the strongly interacting
unitary regime in 3D. I will conclude with new insights [2] into the
experimental observations of apparent scale invariance in 2D Fermi gases.

Welcome to Region 32 of the National Labor Relations Board. We conduct elections, investigate charges of unfair labor practices, and protect the rights of workers to act together, serving parts of California and Nevada from our regional office in Oakland. If you have questions or wish to file a charge or petition for election, please visit our office or call and ask for the Information Officer on duty. We can arrange to have someone speak with you in the language of your choice. We are also happy to provide speakers and materials to promote a greater understanding of the National Labor Relations Act.

Office Information
News From the Region
National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Richard F. Griffin, Jr. announced the appointment of Valerie T. Hardy-Mahoney as the Regional Attorney of the NLRB's Regional office in Oakland, California (Region 32). In her new position, Ms. Hardy-Mahoney will assist Regional Director George Velastegui in the administration and enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act in portions of northern California and the northern half of Nevada.
The Board invites the filing of briefs to afford the parties and interested amici the opportunity to address the Board's joint employer standard, as raised in Browning-Ferris Industries (Case 32-RC-109684).
Among the issues raised by the Board is whether the parties and amici believe the Board should adhere to its existing joint employer standard or adopt a new standard.
Briefs from the parties and interested amici are due on or before June 26, 2014.
National Labor Relations Board Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and General Counsel Richard F. Griffin, Jr. announced their selection of George Velastegui to serve as Regional Director of the Agency's Region 32 office in Oakland, California. Mr. Velastegui will be responsible for enforcement of the nation's primary labor law covering private sector employees in the jurisdiction of Region 32, which services portions of northern California and the northern half of Nevada.
A statewide group of Kaiser healthcare employees voted in favor of retaining their current bargaining representative, SEIU-United Healthcare Workers-West (SEIU-UHW), rather than switching to its rival in the election, National Union of Healthcare Workers-California Nurses Association, AFL-CIO (NUHW-CNA). The results were announced this afternoon by National Labor Relations Board Regional Director William Baudler, the head of that Agency's regional office in Oakland, California.

After all, attendance is up. The show is set for its third year of growth from the recession-stripped nadir of 2009 and could touch the record numbers hit in 2006.
That matters because the attendees are all industry people. Consumers aren't allowed in. Having everyone who matters in Vegas for a couple of days in the year makes it easy to set up face-to-face meetings that would take weeks to organize otherwise. In that context, it matters less that the show hasn't been a great staging ground for new products.
"I'm pretty comfortable that we're the most important event for technology in the world," Shapiro said. "It's difficult to come out with someone really important who's not there."
Apple CEO Tim Cook's absence may make him the exception. His predecessor, Steve Jobs, was certainly never caught loitering on the show floor. But the company contingent will probably be strong. Last year, the Apple's retail store division alone sent 159 people, according to the CEA.
So what potential flops will be hyped at the show this year?
— Windows 8 will be an important new product in 2012, but the late-year launch means PC and tablet makers hoping for a CES boost have to wait.
The new operating system is built for touch screens, the kind made popular by iPhones and iPads. Windows 8 will also run on cellphone-style processing chips, the type used in most tablets. That should improve battery life considerably over the PC-type chips that Windows runs on today. However, many analysts believe Microsoft has already lost this market to Apple.
— As a stopgap, PC makers will show off ultrabooks. They're essentially Windows versions of the MacBook Air laptop, which uses chips instead of a spinning hard drive for storage. That makes the machines lighter and thinner but also more expensive. Expectations for ultrabooks are modest — Gary Balter at Credit Suisse believes they could make up 10 percent of laptops sales this year.
— Having failed to catch the iPad wave last year with $500 tablets, some tablet makers will try to catch the Kindle Fire wave with smaller, cheaper tablets. But the profit margins are tiny at that price, so bigger Asian manufacturers are setting their sights on the tablet version of Windows 8, hoping it will provide them better opportunities, said Rhoda Alexander, an analyst at IHS iSuppli.
— TV makers will be talking about "smart," Internet-connected sets, but they're not exactly new.
However, we'll see the first full-size TVs that use organic light-emitting diodes in place of LCDs. LG Electronics has confirmed that it will be showing off a 55-inch set, to be sold late in the year. The price hasn't been disclosed, but is likely to be high. OLED sets can be painfully thin — in LG's case, less than a third of an inch — and should boast improved image quality as well.
We'll also see TVs that are "smart" in the sense that they respond to gestures or spoken commands. However, until cable set-top boxes get smart, too, we won't be able to abandon remotes.
Paul Gagnon, an analyst at DisplaySearch, said TV manufacturers are trying to get ahead of Apple. He and other analysts believe the company is working on a TV set that could be introduced this year. Some speculate that "Siri," the voice-control application in the latest iPhone, is a dry run for a voice-controlled TV.
Apple hasn't commented on the speculation. It has agreements with Hollywood studios for sales and rentals of movies through iTunes, but to create a TV that's unmistakably "Apple," it would likely require broader agreements with content providers, such as rights to stream live TV. Even Apple might not be able to challenge the content industry's way of business.
"They've been able to break down those digital barriers with music and other applications, but TV is going to be one of the tougher areas," Gagnon said.
In other words, an Apple TV could be an expensive flop. Staying away from CES is no guarantee for success.

Classé Unveiled
CES Unveiled turned out to have little of interest to Stereophile readersexcept those who are general technical geeks. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) Most of the products on display involved mobile computing, computer peripherals, etc., and the exhibits were simple table-top setups. Major CES exhibitors like Sony and Panasonic were conspicuous by their absence. Samsung just had some of their small digicams. I guess the high performance audio community decided to pass on this event, and it makes sense: what makes these products special can't be evaluated by just looking at them.
I did spot the new Classe CA-M600, winner of the Best Innovation award for Audio Components. It was behind glass. I may have a chance to listen to it at CES proper. In the meantime, John Atkinson's rave review will appear in the forthcoming March 2011 issue.

As with most disputes, posturing is most important.
The Professional Soccer Referee Association has authorized its representation to strike if a collective bargaining agreement cannot be reached with Professional Referee Organization, the league's sanctioned assignor.
With a 64-1 vote (plus 11 absents) PSRA lead negotiator Steven Taylor has his union standing in a firm position on its demands ahead of two negotiating sessions this week. Taylor has said PSRA wants to reach and agreement before the MLS season opener on March 8.
The vote comes amid allegations of threats made by a high-ranking official within PRO seeking retribution upon any referees participating in unionizing.
Of all the questions that should be asked, perhaps the most essential is whether or not there needs to be civility amongst those whose jobs it is to keep the game civil?
Referees will forever be the third wheel in soccer. But they are the stabilizing necessity, and as such let's act like the gentlemen we are and reach an understanding that all negotiations will be handled quickly an privately, and out of the scope of journalists and bloggers.
The reputation of the game depends upon referees. A referee's reputation outside of the game cannot be soiled for no one drags their uniform in the mud before arriving for work and gets the respect deserved.
Meet halfway. Play the metaphorical dropped ball. Just get a deal done.

Husband has more time
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Good news, My husband's pulmonolgoist says he may have a couple of years.
We have to avoid crowds, get and stay healthy and take all his meds. This is great news.
He sleeps most of the time because his lung capacity is only at 22% or less. Everything makes him tired.
He is now on steroids which should help him gain weight and give him an appitite. He weighted in at 105 today.
Grateful for each day we have together.

The doctors have been burying me since 1987, but I am still here. I was ready to give it up in 2007, but God had different plans for me. I also have COPD and the chemo and radiation damaged the mitral valve in my heart. Too many 911 calls and the doctors did not seem to know what to do for me. I had made my peace and then the phone rang. One of my former clients called and asked "Are you alright?" I told her what was happening, she asked my address and said she would be right there. She is a nurse and also a massage therapist. She came into my home and started checking for a pulse in my lower extremities and could not detect one. She started working on me and after about 30 minutes, I told her I needed to go to the bathroom. When I came out I laughed rather feebly, she asked what was so funny. I told her now we know what death warmed over looked like. She was not pleased, told me to sit down she was not through working on me. In a few minutes she said "For your information it looks better than that." She went on to say you can not be trusted to live alone and I know you will not listen to me, but I know you will listen to God and she had not been able to do anything that morning until she called me. She put her furnishing in storage and kept me alive until they could fit me in to the Cleveland Clinic. I went up not knowing if they could or would help me. I had an excellent surgeon and they replaced my mitral valve. Six years later, I am back working and did weight training at the gym this afternoon. I was on oxygen 24/7 over six years and now have been off for the last 18 months. My pulmonologist does not know what to think about me. I will be 73 in October and I was talking to a lady at the gym works out quite a bit, found out she will be 92 this year. You just never know, what God has in store for you. I hope he finds some relief with his breathing and he continues to get stronger. My prayers will go out for both of you, be sure and take care of your self. Keep the faith.
