College Hockey:Philipczyk Tips Gophers By Bulldogs
Late Goal Holds Up For 2-1 Win
Jenelle Philipczyk skates on a line with Erica McKenzie, the WCHA scoring champion, and Gigi Marvin, the league's Rookie of the Year. Philipczyk is less well known and receives less attention from opposing defenses than her wings.
That relative anonymity worked to the advantage of the sophomore center from Woodbury, Minn. Late in a deadlocked third period, Philipczyk found herself alone in front of the net, and she deflected Marvin's shot past Minnesota-Duluth goaltender Riitta Schaublin.
"Gigi did all of the work, working the puck out of the corner," said Philipczyk. "She just got a shot on the net, and I tipped it. I think maybe the goalie wasn't ready for it."
"My back was to the net, and I was way up by the hash marks," Marvin said. "All of a sudden I hear J yelling, 'Shoot the puck!' I was like — okay."
Philipczyk's goal at 16:05 of the third period gave Minnesota (27-9-1) a 2-1 victory. The Gophers did have to survive a late power play by the Bulldogs (22-8-3) after Bobbi Ross was sent off for tripping just 17 seconds later.
"I didn't see it, but my assistant said it was a good call," said Minnesota coach Laura Halldorson. "We just had to kill it off. We had some great work by our penalty killers that really pumped up our team."
"We've been pretty good lately," Halldorson said. "We've got some people that we use primarily in those situations — people like Whitney Graft, Becky Wacker, Bobbi Ross, [Marvin and Philipczyk], and some other players too. They're just great at blocking shots and working hard."
Opposing coach Shannon Miller agreed that special teams were key. Minnesota scored its first goal to tie the game 1-1 on the power play.
"I'm really proud of our team today," she said. "I thought we worked extremely hard and played very well. The difference I think was the power play. We were 0-for-5 and they were 1-for-6 and there's your game."
The team that scored first won all four regular season meetings between the two teams. The Bulldogs got the crucial first goal this time, off the stick of junior Noemie Marin.
Said Marin: "I think it was a combination of a lot of teammates — a great pass from the defenseman, and then I just chipped it to [Jessica Koizumi], she shot on net, and I just crashed the net."
The goal came just 2:35 into the contest, but freshman goalie Kim Hanlon didn't allow UMD any more. Hanlon finished with 20 stops, including denying Koizumi on a second period breakaway.
One key for Hanlon was recovering mentally from the early goal.
"It was an odd-man rush, I made the first save, and they capitalized on the rebound," she said. "So just forget about it, back to 0-0, and I knew our players would come back and get another one."
The Gophers did just that on their first power play attempt at 7:56 of the first period. Graft found Ashley Albrecht in the high slot, and Andrea Nichols got her stick on Albrecht's high wrist shot, deflecting the puck past Schaublin's outstretched glove.
"Ashley did a good job of getting the puck to the net," said Philipczyk. "Andrea, she's always in front there working, and she tipped it in."
From there, the goalies and the defenses took over until late.
"In the third period, they only got two shots," Hanlon said. "We did a great job of getting in front of the shots — that helped me a lot."
Schaublin turned back 37 shots for the game. The only one to elude her after the first period came when the UMD defense lost track of Philipczyk.
"I was surprised at something like that, but we capitalized on it and won the game," said Philipczyk.
"We're real excited, because that's a strong UMD team that we just beat, and it took a team effort," said Halldorson. "We got great goaltending, big goals, and solid penalty kills all night. I'm real proud of our team."
When asked about her team's energy level heading with a quick turnaround upcoming on Sunday, Marvin said it was pretty high.
"It was an emotional win, and we've been on a roll the past couple of weeks," she said. "It's just a lot of fun to play hockey right now."
The Bulldogs will now wait for the NCAA selection committee to announce their fate tomorrow night. The result likely clinched the fourth home ice in the NCAA quarterfinals for the Gophers.
"We know we're playing, it's just a matter of who, and we won't have home ice," said Miller. "But we know that we're playing — don't you worry about that."

02 Mar Modern Pentathlon Federation of India seeks Sports Ministry recognition
Modern Pentathlon Federation of India, among the new national sports bodies recognised by the Indian Olympic Association, has sought recognition from the union sports ministry.
"We have written to the Sports Ministry for recognition and we are hopeful it would be granted soon," said Namdev Shirgaonkar, Founder Secretary of the Federation and an executive council member of IOA, at a media conference today.
"There are various types of recognition granted by the ministry, including at no cost to the government," he explained.
The Kabaddi player turned sports administrator, who has also dabbled in other games like basketball, softball and fencing, said India can win medals in pentathlon at the upcoming Incheon Asian Games.
"We can win medals at the Asian Games," said Shirgaonkar confidently, though in the last Asian Championship held in September-October 2013 at Astana in Kazakhstan, India's Angad Sahlot finished a distant 30 out of 33 competitors.
Though pentathlon also involves a costly discipline like horse riding, along with shooting, swimming, cross country running and the largely-unknown fencing, Shirgaonkar is confident Indian youth can take up to this gruelling event.
MPFI, headed by Sunil Purnapatre, is also a member of world governing body UIPM and the continental body AMPC.

This year's winning T-shirt design was created by Mark Johnson of Billings. A lifelong bobcat fan, Johnson has attended every Gold Rush game. He drew on his love for Bobcat football, love of design, and countless memories from past Bobcat games as the inspiration for his winning design.
"We have a great view of the Bridger Mountains from our seats at the games, so that's one of the first things that came to mind for this design," Johnson said. He added that in addition to the game day experience, Gold Rush is an opportunity for the family to come together from all over Montana and kick off the season.
The limited edition Gold Rush T-shirts will be available for purchase for $12 at the MSU Bookstore and at Universal Athletic stores in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell and Missoula.

Goshen senior co-housing project to provide nursing home alternative
Senior co-housing is one way to address the aging Baby Boomer generation. A Goshen couple is creating the house that will be the first of its kind in Elkhart County.
In 2009 when Bob Zook's mother, suffering from dementia, needed more care than his father could give, she was hospitalized for a bit, then entered a nursing home.
She wasn't happy there.
Bob and his wife, Carolyn, brought her home under hospice care, and six weeks later, she died.
"It was a wonderful experience. We had a hospital bed set up in front of the big picture window at our house. As they lowered her in the bed, when she touched the bed, she said, 'I'm home,' Bob said, his voice cracking with emotion. "That's what it's all about. That was a very meaningful experience for everyone. As tough as that time is, to be in a home situation… and as good as some of these places are, it's not the same."
Later, Carolyn's father moved in with the Zooks for six months.
"Just his interaction with our kids that would come in, and his interaction when we were cooking, the banter back and forth, you could just see that make him light up," Bob said. "Just being part of the family was huge."
The Zooks are planning to bring Goshen a new housing option for seniors who can no longer live alone but don't need the level of care provided by nursing homes. They will continue to live in a home-like setting, surrounded by neighbors of all ages.
The Zooks are building an "elder care" home at 309 Nebraska Drive, a residential street lined with modest brick ranches, that will house as many as six seniors. The Zooks also will live in the home, and they'll employ staff to assist residents with everything from cooking, cleaning and laundry to helping with medication reminders, getting dressed and other daily tasks.
The contractor recently poured the basement foundation for the 3,100-square foot home. It will have six bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom.
The Zooks are aligning the home with Eden Alternative concepts. Eden Alternative is a Rochester, N.Y.-based senior advocacy nonprofit that stresses elimination of the three "plagues" of aging: loneliness, helplessness and boredom. While they haven't copied the Eden Alternative assisted living floor plan, the Zooks have borrowed three of its main features for the home: a central "hearth" or fireplace, a large dining table where everyone shares meals, and a kitchen that has visibility of all common areas of the home.
"We can address loneliness by constant interaction with other people, with pets," Bob said. "The boredom will be addressed by having spontaneous activity. We may sit down with the elders in the morning and say, 'What do you want to do today?' They might say, 'Well, we want to go on a picnic,' or, 'We'd like to go for a drive.'"
Helping to prepare meals, run errands, or sharing in other household tasks can help prevent feelings of helplessness, Carolyn said.
The Zooks and their staff will receive training from Eden Alternative this summer.
Bob is a corporate pilot for Biomet, the Warsaw-based medical device maker, and he'll keep flying, partly out of financial necessity. The couple is dipping into their retirement savings to fund the $400,000 project, which includes a $17,000 fire suppression system.
Carolyn will quit her job as finance coordinator at Goshen Home Care and Hospice, an affiliate of IU Health Goshen, and focus full-time on running the home when it opens in September.
She said her work leads her to believe there is nothing comparable being offered in the area.
The couple's corporate name, Family Care Homes of Indiana LLC, hints at their long-term vision. If this goes well, their commercial lender has told them it will provide capital to build more homes around the area, Bob said.
The Zooks are allowed to give personal care but are not licensed to provide medical care. Families who feel their elder loved one needs daily medical care can arrange to have a home health care provider come into the home, an option that would still cost less than a nursing home, Bob said.
The Zooks said they were surprised by the lack of information the state of Indiana could provide about setting up this type of home. The couple instead had to turn to Michigan for guidance, which calls such homes "adult foster care" and has licensed 4,343 throughout the state. Michigan Medicaid does pay for some adult foster care services.
The Elkhart Senior Housing Study, a market analysis recently commissioned by the city's redevelopment department, identified this type of housing, which it called "senior co-housing," as one solution to a projected senior housing shortage as the Baby Boom generation ages. Tammy Friesen, executive director of the Council on Aging of Elkhart County, said the Zooks' home will meet a need for many seniors, and she called the Eden Alternative "an incredible model which allows residents to set their own schedules for rising, eating, medication, etc."
But Friesen noted it's only a private pay option, meaning that unlike in Michigan, it won't be available to low-income seniors because it cannot be paid for with Medicare or Medicaid. The Zooks hope the day will come when the state will allow Medicaid reimbursement. Until then, they'll set their fees at assisted living market rates, where 80 percent of residents are private pay.
With about 200 homes within a mile of the site, Bob expects most of the residents will come from the immediate area.
Carolyn noted the biggest challenge could come in finding seniors who are the right fit. They'll be interviewed to ensure they can get along with others, and are comfortable with their housemates' families visiting.
"We think the home setting will provide a place where children and neighbors will be welcome, and relationships can be strengthened in that setting," she said. "If a grandchild wants to stop by and make cookies with grandma, it will be a welcome home setting."

NICOLAS GHESQUIERE was named artistic director of Louis Vuitton
in November 2013, having previously led Balenciaga between 1997 and
• Ghesquière was born in Comines, Province, in 1971.
• At the age of 15, he interned at Agnès B in Paris during his
school summer holidays. "I watched, I photocopied, I made the
coffee," he told the New York Times.
• After leaving school, Ghesquière achieved his childhood dream:
scoring an internship with Jean Paul Gaultier.
• He joined Balenciaga in 1995 as a licensed product designer.
"I was hired to do the licenced collection," he told WWD
in 2005. "It was not the most exciting job but for me it was the
most beautiful name in fashion. I didn't care at that time. I was
thinking, 'It's OK. I will go and I will see what the potential is
and see what is going on.' So it was not the most glamorous way to
approach the brand. But it was interesting to work on this licence
and to see what was left from Balenciaga." In 1997 he was
appointed as the label's new creative director, replacing Josephus
• His creations went down as well with Balenciaga's loyal
following as they did with the fashion press. His collections were
in such high demand that the label's flagship store in Paris was
unable to meet the demands of the crowds that gathered there
• Ghesquière shuns personal fame, prefering his work to have the
attention, and admits that he is his own harshest critic. "We've
developed the [Balenciaga] brand," he told Interview
magazine in January 2010. "I probably feel more solid because the
brand is solid and I feel stronger than my years. But I put so much
pressure on myself, which makes me very insecure. With my designs
and my ideas, I want to please myself first. I'm always very
stressed about making a new proposition every season. But in a way,
it's a kind of addiction. In another way, it's a crazy pressure. I
try to stay quiet about the whole situation, because fashion itself
can be crazy, and everyone wants a part of you."
• His hobbies extend beyond fashion. "I love art. I love music.
It's more about the lifestyle you yourself have-that's the most
inspiring thing," he has said. "The way you share relationships
with the people around you."
• On October 28 2010, Ghesquière was crowned Fashion Group
International's Superstar. "Nicolas Ghesquière defines the word
'superstar,'" FGI president Margaret Hayes told WWD. "Said
to be one of the most intriguing and original designers of his
generation, he has reinvented the House of Balenciaga and endowed
its legacy with a cool, modern edge."

Flame fowl, brightest red chickens you will ever see, nice feathers for fletching arrows, but I'd pass on the omlet.
Half salad, half meat, I dont know what to make of these things, but without them our expedition would not have made it past the first oasis
Anjet of Cenn Caerwaith
Beware this wizardly cadaver! His spells might not kill you, but you will wish they had…
Therianthropes? Lycanthropes? Animorphs? Homo-Zoological-Hybrid-Sapiens? Manimals? Take your pick.
In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
Christina Rossetti
English poet (1830 - 1894)
The dead, imbued with the divine essence of magic, walk again, ever hungry for the missing spark of a living soul.
"Is it just me, or is this cave moving?"
- Obin the Spelunker's last words
"Though they walk as men and grow as weeds, they are neither; the angry dead, feeding the green with the rage until they walk again, yellowing bones bound by the twining green."
Pitiable creatures, wandering forever in search of that denied them, unable to rest even as they crumble away to little more than crawling wrecks of bones.
Slain by thirst and heat, these sad souls seek moisture - any moisture - to quench their eternal, burning thirst.
These ghastly beings are corrupted to do the bidding of Hosok, The Hand That Sees
The dead, when buried without last rites, often find it impossible to rest easy…
What if one were to abandon the classical 4-6 element universe and instead view things in a more 'modern' light?
Elementals have been around for a long time. In many games they unveiled their impressive powers, and reflected their mystical origin no one cared about. It is time for a remake.
Death be not proud.
To experience liberation in the arms of Goran, one must first await the coming of the Uroghi..
Beware thy deeds my child, for they may come back to haunt you…
On his own, a Telgard demon worships the concept of individuum - to be solitary, resourceful, and hardy.
An exquisite steed, midnight black, treading like a dancer, its step so light that it does not scar the ground, its stride so fluent that you could sit in the saddle all day… if you needed one. Its golden eyes shine with intelligence and spirit, and it seems to know your every wish. Ah, who would not want such a fine beast to carry him?
A group of wizards who will give others temporary magical powers, but the price is high and those who can't pay or won't pay get very badly hurt or even killed.

I am running SCVMM 2008 R2 with 3 hosts. Right now I am patching the hosts, so I am running the command
disable-vmhost hostA -MoveWithinCluster
Is there a command that I can run or switch I can enable to direct where the machines on hostA get migrated to? What happened last time I ran it was all the machines migrated to a host that was already hosting numerous VMs and there was another host that was completely empty.

Four months after Carolina Shores commissioners took part in a questionable closed session and emerged with a reprimand of Mayor Stephen Selby, their asphalt is starting to show.
The "asphalt scandal," after all, is commissioners' first item on their list of infractions Selby has committed since his election as mayor in November 2007, according to a censure-ship resolution approved 3-2 by the board last Friday.
SUNSET BEACH—Carmel Zetts is always thrilled when new sea turtles hatch at the beach.
It was no different July 17 when seven "newborns"—these made of stainless steel—emerged on the sand next to the island gazebo to once again pay tribute to the longtime turtle advocate.
The work by metal sculptor David McCune was commissioned by the Sunset Beach Turtle Patrol to replace a previous sculpture erected in Zetts' honor that was destroyed by vandals in March.
BOLIVIA—With the state budget still in limbo and the first day of school less than a month away, Brunswick County Schools is trying to make a budget with all the predicted state and local reductions.
One of the biggest reductions is in state and local allotments for teacher assistant positions. Last year, funding allowed for 150 across the district.
SUNSET BEACH—Police in Fuquay Varina are seeking a suspect in connection with a prescription theft in Sunset Beach.
Sunset Beach Deputy Chief Steve Smith said Elisa Gandy Mangum, 42, of Angier, is sought for the reported July 24 theft of four prescription medications from a Sunset Beach home.
The prescriptions were filled at Walgreens in Fuquay Varina, Smith said, where the theft would be considered a felony.
SOUTHPORT—Facing elimination for the Dixie Boys Baseball state tournament after a 10-3 third-round loss, Brunswick County won five straight games en route to winning the championship and a spot in the World Series.
Brunswick completed the run by beating Columbus County, the defending state champion, 3-1 July 23 at Smithville Park. The game ended when catcher Kyle Powers threw to infielder Markel Jones to tag out a runner trying to steal second. That set off a celebration, but these players are hoping for a bigger celebration in the World Series.
The beginning of August is usually a time for local anglers to look toward the cooler weather of fall, which will bring a sharp increase in the number of fish and their readiness to strike a baited hook. One fish, however, that is already very active is the pompano.
Pompano are a warm-water fish that strike throughout the summer and provide a tasty catch for fishermen when other fish either aren't present or aren't feeding.
The Beachcombers played at Sandpiper Bay (format was team low nets, one on par-5s, two on par-4s, three on par-3s). Winning on a match of cards on second hole with a score of 116 were Larry Bollinger, Hal Riebesehl, Dan O'Connell and Stu Cleveland. Low gross: Paul Mical and Stu Cleveland, 84; Bob Byrne and Jim Beairsto, 85. Low nets: Beairsto, 66; Michal, 67; Byrne, Cleveland and Bollinger, 68. Golfer of the week was Paul Michal.
The following cases were adjudicated over four days of District Criminal Court on July 15, 16, 20 and 21 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, July 15
Judge Jerry A. Jolly presided over the following cases with prosecutor Cathi Radford and courtroom clerk and Lisa Quick:
Alfred Gerald Brock, two counts resisting public officer, two counts assault government official/employee, all voluntarily dismissed.
It appears some elected officials have forgotten or don't care about who they work for—the people of Brunswick County.
In Carolina Shores, the commissioners (elected officials) feel it's their place to censure town mayor Stephen Selby (another elected official), and they think they have the right to do so without hearing what citizens think.
On Friday, commissioners told the people of Carolina Shores they didn't care about what they had to say by announcing the board would not take public comment during a special meeting.
CAROLINA SHORES—After appointing former Mayor Dan Mann to fill a vacant seat and serve as mayor pro tem, town commissioners voted 3-2 Friday to censure current Mayor Stephen Selby for "inconsistent" behavior.
Mann and commissioners Gere Dale and Tom Puls voted for the resolution at the specially called meeting. Commissioners Joseph Przywara and John Russo voted against it.
"See you in November!" several residents called at the end of the hour-long meeting, which had to be moved to the Calabash Fire Department to accommodate the crowd.

Your Government
The city's historic Plaza de la Constitución is the setting for all the Light-Up Night! ceremonies including the dramatic "flipping of the switch" to kick off the 10-week long Nights of Lights. Mayor Joe Boles will continue a tradition which began 2007 of inviting the all the city's past-Mayors to the event at with a special ceremony.
The festivities begin at 4:00pm with a spirited holiday performance by Showtime USA. The high energy, fun filled singing and dancing troupe will perform under the King's Balcony at the west end of the Plaza.
Then at 5:30pm, the All Star Orchestra returns for an encore performance after an outstanding performance last year. The popular 20-piece band, performing from the Gazebo, will fill the Plaza with great swing music and big band sounds all in grand holiday style.
Light-Up! begins at 6:30pm when St. Augustine Mayor Joe Boles officially opens the ceremonies from the King's Balcony at Government House followed by the flipping of the switch from the Gazebo, first for the city's tree and then to light the city.
The most exciting moment on Light-Up! Night and has been since the Nights of Lights began in 1994, is the light-up itself. The honor of "flipping-the-switch" to light the city's tree and the city has been bestowed upon those who have contributed to the betterment of our community often without recognition. For Saturday's ceremony, Mayor Joe Boles has named Mrs. Dianne Chase director of Lead the Way Day Care, to light the tree, and former St. Augustine Mayor John Bailey, Sr., to light the city.
In selecting Mrs. Chase, Boles noted her deep dedication and investment in the future of our city through her commitment to the Lead the Way Day Care. A retired educator, Mrs. Chase -- fondly known as "Ms. Dianne," "Auntie Dianne," and "Mama Dianne,"-- grew up in the community and is proud of having educated the parents and in some cases the grandparents of the children currently enrolled in the center.
John Bailey served as St. Augustine's Mayor from 1965-1967 which coincided with St. Augustine's 400th anniversary. Boles indicated that as our community turns its attention towards its 450th anniversary, it is fitting to honor those who were instrumental in the city's quadricentennial.
"We are fortunate to have so many people who truly care for our city and are so willing to give of their time and energy to ensure that our children and grandchildren share in the quality of life we enjoy," said Boles. "As a small token of their great contributions, we are honored to have Dianne Chase and John Bailey launch the seventeenth year of Nights of Lights."
In keeping with Nights of Lights tradition, the thousands gathered in the Plaza will be asked for their assistance in the lighting. With onlookers of all ages eagerly waiting, the countdown begins: "10…9…8…." Then, as all eyes turn towards the ancient oak canopy over the Plaza and the fanciful spires of the City's skyline, the moment arrives: "3…2…1!" Light-Up!
Instantly, over two million white lights fill St. Augustine's every corner with brilliant and magical holiday sparkle, transforming the Nation's Oldest City into an enchanted city of light.
Once the lights are on, it's time to enjoy downtown St. Augustine. With its narrow Old World streets filled with the glow of holiday lights, there is no better opportunity to stroll casually, stopping for dinner or dessert and, of course, some shopping.
The most exciting moment on Light-Up Night! is the light-up itself and has been since Nights of Lights began in 1994. In the early years of the event, governmental officials would be called upon to flip-the-switch, and when George Gardner took office as Mayor, he gave the honor to members of the community he identified as unsung heroes, those who contributed to the betterment of the community often without recognition.
Mayor Boles took the best of both past traditions and created a new one by recognizing those who have given of themselves as public servants to our city but who may have been forgotten. Mayor Boles has invited all former St. Augustine Mayors to join him in Light-Up Night! ceremonies.
Mayor Boles is St. Augustine's 118th mayor since the city became part of the United States in 1821. Currently there are 13 living former mayors and all have been invited to participate in the ceremony. They and their years of service are: Walter Bugeski (1958-1959), John Bailey (1965-1967), Arthur Runk (1973-1975), Edward Mussallem (1975-1979), Fred Brinkhoff (1979-1981), V. Noel Helmly (1981), Ramelle Petroglou (1981-1982, 1983-1985), Tracy Upchurch (1990-1992), Greg Baker (1992-1995), Len Weeks (1995-2000), Mark Alexander (2000-2002), and George Gardner (2002-2006).
Parking will be available throughout the city except around the Plaza de la Constitución. The Historic Downtown Parking Facility at the Visitor Information Center (VIC) will charge a flat, all-day rate of $7, payable on entry. For a map and more information, visit www.vicparking.com.
Streets in the vicinity of the Plaza will be closed after 5:30pm as needed to accommodate pedestrian traffic. Vehicular traffic throughout downtown will be very congested after 5:00pm and through the early evening. Those not attending the Light-up Night! ceremonies may wish to use alternate routes.
The City of St. Augustine manages the installation and maintenance of displays at over 100 locations, including buildings, parks, medians and gardens throughout the city, but much credit for the continued success of the Nights of Lights goes to area businesses and residents who voluntarily and at their own expense participate in the event. Because they join in, the city truly becomes a city of light. For more information about Nights of Lights, visit www.nightsoflights.com.
The Nights of Lights is funded by the City of St. Augustine and the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council. For a brochure on all the activities during the 10-weeks of the Nights of Lights, contact the St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and the Beaches Visitors and Convention Bureau at 800.653.2489 or online at www.floridashistoriccoast.com.

Stone Tile
Granite, slate, and marble are three natural stones that work splendidly for flooring materials. Granites are mined directly from the earth in many beautiful colors that boast fascinating quartz-speckled patterns. Marble is also mined from quarries in vibrant colors ranging from deep greens to brilliant whites to the blackest blacks. Cultured marble is manufactured in factories out of marble dust and cement and can come in any color imaginable. Slate is the Cadillac of natural stone. Strong, durable, reliable, and simply spectacular, it brings a rugged majesticness wherever it lies. Simply stated, the inclusion of stone tiles in your home is sure to increase the value and overall enjoyment of your home.

Pluckley is a village in the Ashford District of Kent, located close to the North Downs and on the long distance walking route, the Greensand Way. Pluckley has two particular claims to fame: the drama series, The Darling Buds of May, was filmed there, based on the novel by H E Bates who lived nearby; and it is said to be the most haunted village in Britain. It is reputed to have at least 12 ghosts who have been known to appear at various locations and buildings around the village such as Fright Corner, the Screaming Woods, St Nicholas Church and The Black Horse Inn. The village holds halloween celebrations every year, attracting a host of visitors. Pluckley was also featured on an episode of BBC's 'Top Gear' when two of the presenters supposedly spent 24 hours sleeping in a car park in the Screaming Woods. Pluckley has several pubs serving food, The Black Horse, built in 1450 and popular with the visiting ghost hunters, The 'The Mundy Bois' dating from 1780, with views of the church on the hill, and The Dering Arms, a former hunting lodge for the prominent Dering family in the 1840's, once connected by underground passages to other parts of their estate.

David E. Kelley
"I never even in college thought writing was something I intended to do. I guess I probably had characters in my head as a kid but never thought I'd put them into prime time." -David E. Kelley
David E. Kelley is the hotshot Hollywood producer of shows such as Picket Fences, Ally McBeal, The Practice, Boston Public, Chicago Hope, Snoops, L.A. Law and Doogie Howser M.D.. He is also married to babe-a-licious Michelle Pfeiffer.
Don't cry for him though, he still has 10, yes count them, 10 Emmy Awards. He has produced successful shows on all 4 major networks: NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX.
He also wrote for a little gem called Doogie Howser M.D.. Though Doogie will surely be mentioned at any future roast honoring him, he can sleep at night thanks to a $50 million contract between him and FOX in place.
David E. Kelley BiographyDavid E. Kelley was born April 4, 1956, in Waterville, Maine. David inherited his father's interest in hockey (his father was captain of the Hartford Whalers pro hockey team and later served as president of the Pittsburgh Penguins) and became captain of the ice hockey team at Princeton University, where he majored in politics.
Far from a career in television, Kelley then went on to study at Boston University Law School, and graduated in 1983. It's no coincidence that two of Kelley's most popular series are centered around Boston law firms; Kelley the law grad worked at the Boston law firm Fine & Ambrogne, where he dealt mostly with real estate and minor criminal cases.
goodbye courtroom, hello tv set
Restless, Kelley visited his creative side and wrote a screenplay for a movie, titled From The Hip (about an ambitious young lawyer), which led Kelley to television producer Steven Bochco after his agent sent it to Bochco. The L.A. Law creator was looking for legal-minded writers to work as consultants for the show, and was so impressed with Kelley's writing that he hired him as a team writer in 1986.
Kelley moved to LA to work on L.A. Law, and when the show debuted on NBC in 1987, it was an instant hit, a far cry from Kelley's own 1989 film, From the Hip. Kelley quit his job at the law firm and instead aspired for a career in television. The creative Kelley gradually moved up the TV ladder, from consultant to executive story editor, and when Bochco left L.A. Law in the third season, Kelley became executive producer. He continued to work with Bochco -- who was practically a mentor for Kelley -- by helping him develop the ABC comedy Doogie Howser, M.D..
In 1992, after a long run with L.A. Law, David E. Kelley created his own series for CBS, set in the fictional town of Rome, Wisconsin. Picket Fences tackled ethical issues such as euthanasia and cloning through its quirky storylines and eccentric characters, and as a result it earned critical acclaim and a successful 4-year run. While working as executive producer and writer for Picket Fences, the St. Elsewhere fan created the hospital drama Chicago Hope in 1994, also for CBS.
practice makes perfect
A workaholic, Kelley was writing a total of 40 episodes between Picket Fences and Chicago Hope during one single season, and his creative juices were still in tact to develop two new series that premiered in 1997: Ally McBeal and The Practice, both set in Boston law firms but each one stylistically and thematically unique.
Ally McBeal, which launched the career of Calista Flockhart as the idiosyncratic lawyer, took on ethical issues via a more comical approach, while The Practice, centered around a criminal law firm, tackled more serious issues with a more dramatic tone. Both were instant hits, each winning a slew of Emmys and Golden Globes. Kelley made history in 1999 by winning the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy and Outstanding Drama, for Ally McBeal and The Practice in the same year.
While it seems that everything Kelley touches turns to gold, he has had his share of misses. The films he wrote and produced, To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday, Lake Placid and Mystery, Alaska were not well received at the box office and garnered mixed reviews. As well, Kelley's Ally, an Ally McBeal half hour spin-off that featured never-before seen outtakes of the popular legal comedy-drama, and Snoops, starring Gina Gershon in a private investigation comedy-drama, were both television bombs.
But Kelley's success far outweighs his failures, which is obvious with the amount of awards sitting on his mantle. Kelley's honors include a total of ten Emmys for L.A. Law, Picket Fences, Ally McBeal, and The Practice for Outstanding Drama and Comedy, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama for L.A. Law; three Golden Globes; two Peabody Awards; the Paul Selvin Award from the Writers Guild of America; the first Showman of the Year Award at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in 2000; Viewers for Quality Television Awards for Chicago Hope, Ally McBeal and The Practice; the Humanitas Award for Picket Fences; and two awards from the Producer's Guild.
the pfenomenal pfamily man
All this makes one wonder how Kelley has time to be a family man, which despite his long hours and three shows on the air, he excels at. Granted, with a wife like Michelle Pfeiffer, coming home at the end of the day can't be too hard. Kelley has been married to the beautiful actress (who starred in To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday) since November 1993. Together, the couple have two children, Claudia Rose and John Henry.
Kelley added another successful show to his resume, Boston Public, which has been on Fox since 2000 and is set in an urban public school. David E. Kelley continues to juggle Ally McBeal, The Practice and Boston Public, and will surely add another project to his hectic schedule in no time.

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring. For $n>1$ consider the full matrix ring $M_n(R)$. For a matrix $A\in M_n(R)$ is true that the cardinality of the left annihilator (in $M_n(R)$) of $A$ equals the cardinality of the right annhilator?

No, this isn't true in general, but it's true in principal ideal rings. Consider $R=\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]/(x,y)^2$ (a finite ring that isn't a principal ideal ring, which I found in this answer by Zev). The matrix
annihilates the $16$ vectors that have no constant term, both on the left and on the right, but on the right it also annihilates the $16$ vectors that have a constant term in both components, for a total of $32$. Thus the left annihilator in $M_n(R)$ has $256$ elements, whereas the right annihilator has $1024$.
However, if $R$ is an elementary divisor ring, we can bring $A$ into Smith normal form using invertible matrices. Since this is diagonal, its left and right annihilators are the same up to transposition, and the invertible matrices don't change their cardinality. (See this MO question.)
According to Theorem 15.9 in Matrices over commutative rings, all principal ideal rings are elementary divisor rings. (Wikipedia only claims this for principal ideal domains.) According to this paper, a necessary condition for a ring to be an elementary divisor ring is that all finitely generated ideals are principal. Since in a finite ring all ideals are finitely generated, a finite elementary divisor ring must be a principal ideal ring. Thus a finite ring is an elementary divisor ring if and only if it is a principal ideal ring.

In my opinion the woman should have been fired for her conduct and her incredibly rude and disrespectful behavior toward Mr. Romney, not commended.
Have we really gone so far down that any expectation of professional behavior is gone forever?
I expected better from your magazine which is why I subscribe to it but I may have to rethink that one when it comes time for renewal.
So sad.
--Diane Parodi
I've been a MORE subscriber for many years and am very disappointed to see that the two most recent issues are showing more skin than I've seen in the past. Perhaps, at 75, I'm finally becoming a fuddy-duddy! Julia Louis-Dreyfus' photo on page 8 of the April issue seems unnecessarily revealing and Lauren Graham on page 86 of the May issue is ridiculous. Does your reader research show that is what "women of style and substance" want to see?
I appreciate the informative articles, book reviews, and skincare and fashion advice, though it is geared for younger women -- but am beginning to think I have "outgrown" the magazine. I know I'm not your primary target audience, but I do buy stuff.
Yours truly,
Unbelievable. I subscribe to your magazine because of the inspiring stories you feature of mature women regardless of ethnicity, looks or other.
Imagine my dismay while enjoying "The Third Fierce List" (May 2013) and reading the paragraph entitled, "Magnetically Hilarious". The "boldly chunky Rebel..." Really? A talented, hysterical actress, and your writer feels the need to include 'chunky' as part of her description? Why is that a necessity? Would you include that on her male counterparts? There was only one paragraph- actually one lengthy sentence to be exact. So, in reviewing Rebel Wilson, your writer felt that in that one sentence featuring this person, that 'chunky' contributed to a reader's understanding of her in a meaningful way?
I am truly disgusted, what a notch your magazine was taken down with such petty name calling. I guess it's okay to discriminate against a person's size still- because it's not a protected class. I expected better from "More." Women of style and substance should be above such treatment to our fellow sisters and mankind and general.
--Tracy Weber
Dear Lesley,
I thoroughly enjoy MORE Magazine. However, I have been completely offended by the photographs of the celebrities in your recent cover stories. I started noticing it with Katie Couric. The photos just seemed overtly sexual. Then Julia Louis-Dreyfus' breasts were jumping off the pages. Now the lead photo for Lauren Graham's article might as well have a man standing directly behind her. Your readers don't want to see these photos; Playboy's readers do. MORE is supposed to be For Women of Style & Substance. There is no style or substance to these photos. Please let the photography reflect the classiness of the magazine itself.
Kind regards,
--Shelly Davis
I am a devout Catholic and the article on The Rebel Priests was so upsetting to me that I will not be renewing my More magazine subscription. It seems to me that over the last year or so More is changing by including articles that make some of us very uncomfortable. An article on changing an institution that has been around for over 2000 years and has over a billion followers...really??? I wish you would stick to fashion, health, makeup, book/movie critiques and non-controversial inspiring stories.

Can Moral Failure Affect a Leaders Ability to be an Effective Leader?Saturday, 11 June 2011 19:20
In recent news we have witnessed the transgressions of Congressman Anthony Weiner come to light. At first it was a naughty picture he sent to a woman not his wife. Then the lie to cover it up followed by the confession about the lie and acknowledgment there were other women he has been sexting.
Congressman Weiner is not alone the Church community was rocked when allegations were made against Pastor Eddie Long earlier this year that he engaged in sex with young man using his power, influence and money to control them. Pastor Long vowed to fight the allegation to only later pay the accusers off leaving many dismayed and looking at his actions as an acknowledgment of his guilt.
Once a leader experiences moral failure can they still effectively lead? Whether you are running a fortune 500 company, or hold political office or lead a Church is a fall from grace automatically a reason to remove you from your power and position? Tonight we want to hear what you think. The Polls say Congressman Wieners constituents want him to stay in office what do you think. 'Lets find out 'Live in the Vocal Booth"

You're using Shadow handheld-only?
It doesn't need a sync to register; you just need to enter your
registration code into it, to register it; if you want to register the
desktop side, thats when youneed a sync (and in this case, a trick.)
Make sure that you put in your correct hotsync ID into StyleTap,
so that your Shadow regcode will work.
If you do want to register the desktop-side, then email me direct

Maniac Magee
by Jerry Spinelli
Maniac Magee Chapter 32 Summary
- Grayson and Maniac have settled into a nice routine: Grayson gets up first, turns on the heater, preps breakfast, and then wakes up Maniac.
- When that doesn't happen on December 30th, Maniac goes to wake up Grayson and immediately knows something is wrong.
- Maniac doesn't go running for help like so many kids would. Instead, he sits with Grayson, reading and talking.
- Grayson's funeral is just Maniac and some disrespectful gravediggers. Sound like a little too much to take? Well, it is.
- So Maniac does what Maniac always does: he takes off running.

Houston's Mission Control Center told Endeavour crewmembers, Commander Ken Cockrell, Pilot Paul Lockhart, and Mission Specialists Philippe Perrin and Franklin Chang-Diaz, and Expedition 4's Yury Onufrienko, Carl Walz and Dan Bursch, of the second of two wave offs about 9:35 a.m.
Similar inclement weather on Monday resulted in a wave-off of those landing opportunities. Wednesday offers two landing opportunities at KSC and three at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Forecasters are predicting improving weather at both sites. Endeavour has enough consumables on board to remain in orbit until Thursday, if necessary.
The first of the KSC landing attempts would begin with a deorbit burn at 8:44 a.m. and a landing at 9:53 a.m. CDT (10:53 a.m. eastern.) A second opportunity for a Florida landing would see the deorbit burn at 10:19 a.m. and a landing at KSC at 11:27 a.m. CDT (12:27 p.m. eastern.)
The first of the three subsequent opportunities at Edwards would begin with a deorbit burn at 11:50 a.m. and a landing at 12:58 p.m. CDT. The deorbit burn for the second attempt would be at 1:27 p.m. and a landing at 2:33 p.m. CDT. The third opportunity would see a deorbit burn at 3:06 p.m. and a landing at 4:11 p.m. CDT.
Crewmembers aboard Endeavour are scheduled to begin a sleep period at 5:23 p.m. and be awakened at 1:23 a.m. Wednesday.
All continues to go smoothly aboard the International Space Station in the early days of Expedition 5's residency. Commander Valery Korzun, and Flight Engineers Peggy Whitson and Sergei Treschev, are still unpacking the supplies and equipment delivered by Endeavour.

Fireside Chats: Richard Linklater Reveals Why 'Boyhood' Took 12 Years to Film
Richard Linklater's film was shot in 39 days over the course of 12 years, chronicling one boy's childhood. "He was 6 when I first met him," Linklater tells THR. "It was such a leap to go, 'Wow, what kind of teenager are you going to be?'" Co-star Ethan Hawke said: "Lots of things had been documented in a non-fiction sense over time, but to tell a story over such a long period of time seemed [to be] just a wonderful opportunity."

Leawood Stage Company performed their latest production, Lilian Hellman's WWII drama, "Watch on the Rhine" April 4, 5 and 6 in the Oak Room of Leawood City Hall, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, April Bishop, artistic director said.
"It is a very different show for us, but we thought that it was historically important, educational and worth doing even if we have smaller crowds. The cast cries each time they run the end of the show," Bishop said.
"Watch on the Rhine" is a moving play by Lillian Hellman, focusing on an idealistic German who, with his American wife and two children, flees Hitler's Germany in 1940 to finds sanctuary with his wife's family in the United States, Bishop said. He hopes for a respite from the dangerous work he has involved himself, but his desire for personal safety soon comes into conflict with the deeply held beliefs that have made him an active anti-Nazi.
"Told in compelling, human terms, 'Watch on the Rhine' is an eloquent and stirring tribute to the brave men and women who, despite all odds, struggled to stem the tide of fascism which soon spread throughout Europe and the world. Audiences may be familiar with the 1943 Oscar winning film of 'Watch on the Rhine' staring Bette Davis." Bishop said.
June 6, 2014 will be the 70th Anniversary of D-Day. Leawood Stage Company will honor the sacrifices made by the "Greatest Generation" to free the world from fascism with this production.
The case included: John Van de Voort as Joseph, Nan Lippincott as Anise, Rozanne Devine as Fanny, Benjamin Dalton as David, Theresa DeBrevi as Marthe, Richard W. Daley as Teck, Breanna Danielle Swatzell as Sara, David Pendergrass as Kurt, Reid Spencer as Joshua, Andrea Azeltine as Babette, and Connor Clary as Bodo.
The production features a one set room that functioned well as the focal point of the drama with the first act taking place one morning and Act II about an hour later. While the show is set to occur in one day, the pacing of the piece needed more speed to help create the intensity of the situation. The show is very dramatic and contained several laughs to keep it lighter as it takes the audience to the deeper and darker depths of the overall theme of Nazi invasion in Europe and the spread of Fascism.
Standing out for their parts in the show, Devine as Fanny, Swatzell as Sara, and Pendergrass as Kurt kept the show moving forward It was their characters' determination that drove the piece and involved the audience to continue its focus.
Hand out credit also to the younger performers who gave the show heart. Spencer, Azeltine and Clary provide the escape for the audience because it is their future that hangs in the balance with the Nazis gaining power and strength while their parents struggle to escape and fight against their advancement. Clary provided the most comic relief with his character.
The show was well conceived and produced, but had one glaring problem. With no individual microphones, characters spoke loudly throughout, minimizing the dramatic effect in some scenes. Also, the over-pronunciation of each and every syllable by some characters slowed the pace of the show and lessened the effect of the Hellman drama. Enunciation is important, but when overdone becomes a distraction for both character and cohesiveness of scenes.
Give lots of credit to those involved with the show. The merits far outweigh the flaws. A lot of work goes into such a production for a three-day run. The sets, lights, direction, costumes, stage management, props and sound all take time to prepare and sharpen.
Leawood Stage Company does a great job selection and producing shows of merit. Next up for Leawood Stage, "Hello, Dolly" opens July 11 for eight nights, July 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, and 20, nightly at 8 p.m. The show is free at the Ironwoods Park Amphitheater, 147th and Mission Road.

Mercyhurst – The Mercyhurst University women's hockey team extended their winning streak to seven games after capturing a sweep of Lindenwood (7-1, 4-1) this weekend. Senior Christine Bestland and sophomore Emily Janiga both registered hat tricks on Saturday to mark the first time since October 29, 2011 against Lindenwood where two different players scored a hat trick in the same contest. Both Janiga and Bestland scored short-handed goals to also mark the first time since November 18, 2011 that two different players scored a short-handed goal in the same game. Janiga scored a career-high six points to lead the Lakers after contributing to six of the seven goals with the hat trick and three assists.

Freshman Sara Besseling made her collegiate debut in their third period during Saturday's contest and stopped all eight shots faced. The Lakers host Cornell University on Friday, January 10 and Saturday, January 11, 2014 at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
Robert Morris – Robert Morris extended its unbeaten streak to nine games with a sweep of RIT at 84 Lumber Arena on Dec. 6-7. The sweep also gave the Colonials their sixth-straight home win and kept RMU undefeated on Saturdays (8-0-0) this season ... The Colonials find themselves 10th in the USCHO.com Top 10 for the fourth straight week with 23 points. RMU trails No. 9 Quinnipiac by 10 points after being 16 points behind the Bobcats last week ... The Colonials' streak of not allowing a power play goal game to an end in a 4-2 victory over the Tigers on Dec. 7. RMU stopped 28 straight power play opportunities dating back to Nov. 15 vs. Lindenwood before giving up a goal on the penalty kill. The Colonials' penalty kill percentage of .897 leads the CHA and ranks sixth overall in the nation ... After a three-point weekend against RIT, Brittany Howard is second in CHA in goals (12) and points (28), and is ranked third in assists (16). All of those marks lead first-year players and her total of five game-winning goals is the nation's best ... Howard's start compares favorably to RMU's last two CHA Rookie of the Year winners, Rebecca Vint (2011-12) and Thea Imbrogno (2010-11). Imbrogno had 13 points (5 goals, 8 assists) and a game-winning goal in her first 19 games before January, while Vint notched 27 points (15 goals, 12 assists) and two game-winning goals in 17 games before the new year ... Jessica Dodds was in goal for both victories against the Tigers and improved her unbeaten record to 13-0-1. Dodds' winning percentage of .964 leads the nation and her 1.49 goals-against-average tops the CHA. Both of those marks, along with her .932 save percentage and three shutouts lead all freshmen goaltenders ... The Colonials enter the winter break with a record of 16-3-1, easily shattering their previous best first-half mark. The 16 wins have already topped last season's total of 15 and are three shy of the school record 19, which was set in 2011-12. RMU also will enter 2014 on top of CHA with a conference record of 8-1-1 (17 points). The Colonials are one victory from tying a school record in that department, as last year's team won nine CHA games.
RIT – The Tigers (9-10-1, 4-3-1 CHA) fell below the .500 mark for the first time in two months, falling to No. 6 Clarkson, 6-2 in front of 1,576 fans at Frontier Field in downtown Rochester on Saturday afternoon. It was just the sixth outdoor game in NCAA Women's Hockey history and first for both teams. The two teams braved the snow and cold, as it was 13 degrees at opening puck drop. Kolbee McCrea scored both RIT goals in the loss. RIT trailed just 3-2 with 13 minutes left before Clarkson scored twice in 34 seconds to put the game away. Kourtney Kunichika needs just one goal to reach the 50-goal plateau in her collegiate career. RIT wrapped up its toughest stretch of the season, with six out of seven games against a nationally-ranked opponent. RIT went 1-5-0 in those five games and enter 2014 with a three-game losing streak. RIT is off until Jan. 3-4, 2014, when they travel to Union for a pair of games against the Dutchwomen.
