The Blue Spruce Inn
The Blue Spruce Inn has been a Summit County dining tradition since the 1940's. The building was originally an Inn, with rooms upstairs and a restaurant on the main level. The Inn was built near Farmers Korner on the old highway from Dillon to Breckenridge. It was then moved to the east end of Main Street in Frisco when the Lake Dillon damn was built, and then to the present location around 1974.
The back bar was built in Brunswick, New York circa 1860 and transported to Denver, and then by wagon to Black Hawk, Colorado, where it was once part of the Royal Flush Saloon. The bar was brought from Black Hawk in some thirty-odd pieces and reassembled here in the Blue Spruce Inn.

Lauryn Hill: from Fugees soul superstar to jail bird
The 'neo-soul' star who sold millions of records and won a Grammy Award starts a jail term for tax evasion
THE American hip-hop singer Lauryn Hill has fallen a long way. In 1996, she was arguably the hottest female vocalist in the world thanks to a cover version of the soul standard Killing Me Softly With His Song recorded by her group, The Fugees. It topped music charts around the world and the album from which it was taken - The Score - went on to sell 17 million copies.
But that was then. Today, 38-year-old Hill begins a three-month jail term at a prison in Connecticut. She'll be treated like any other prisoner, the BBC reports, and be required to work in the prison garden, serve food and perform basic maintenance tasks. When she's completed her sentence, the Grammy Award-winner will be placed under house arrest for a further three months and under probation for a full year.
Hill was convicted of tax evasion in May after US authorities accused her of failing to pay tax on $1.8m of the money she earned between 2005 and 2007. Her lawyers said she'd been unable to pay the money after "stepping back" from the music industry to look after her six children. "I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children," she told the court.
Hill's tax bill was high because her success didn't end with The Fugees. Its three members – Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel - all began solo projects in 1997, but she scored the biggest hit. Hill's 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was a critically-acclaimed smash that sold 20 million copies worldwide. She became one of the figureheads of the 'neo soul' movement and reportedly earned $25 million between 1998 and 1999.
Just when Hill's status as a superstar was unequivocal, her career began to unravel. In 2000, she fell out with her record label and fired her management team. There were reports that she had stopped listening to music entirely, started going to bible classes and fallen under the spell of a 'spiritual advisor' called Brother Anthony. Some people described him as a cult leader.
Hill has made sporadic attempts to make new music since then, but has never come close to repeating her early success. She acquired a reputation as a difficult, possibly unstable artist. In 2003, she was branded "pathologically miserable" by the Catholic Church after she attacked its "corruption, exploitation, and abuses" during a concert in Vatican City.
In 2005, The Fugees attempted a reunion tour, but Jean and Michel soon fell out with Hill. When Jean was asked about the aborted tour he said bluntly: "Lauryn needs help. In my personal opinion, those Fugees reunion shows shouldn't have been done, because we wasn't ready," he told Blues & Soul. "I really felt we shoulda first all gone into a room with Lauryn and a psychiatrist..."
Hill has now repaid much of her tax bill while continuing royalties from her hit albums mean she will remain well-off. There is talk of a new solo album this year – her first in 15 years – but her relationship with the music business remains tortured. Describing her decision to walk away from the record industry in 2000 she said: "I did whatever needed to be done in order to insulate my family from the climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism that I was surrounded by."
Today, she is surrounded not by false entitlement, but the walls of the minimum security prison in the city of Danbury.

Moving On: Men's Tennis Defeats LSU 4-0 to Advance in NCAA Tournament
May 11, 2013
MALIBU, Calif. – The #12 Pepperdine men's tennis team is one of 16 teams left in the NCAA Tournament after blanking #20 LSU 4-0 today on the courts of the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center. The Waves will travel to the Khan Tennis Complex on the campus of the University of Illinois where the remainder of the championships will play out.
Pepperdine's (26-5) road to the championship began yesterday with a 4-0 win vs. UC Santa Barbara. The Waves left nothing to chance this afternoon, shutting out the Tigers 4-0 after LSU had edged #40 Stanford 4-2 in the first round.
The home team struck first today, taking two of the three doubles matches to claim the point. Sebastian Fanselow (Essen, Germany/Kaplan College Prep) and Francis Alcantara (Cagayan de Oro, Philippines/Fresno State) were the first to finish, putting away an 8-3 decision against #31-ranked Stefan Szacinski and Tam Trinh.
Although Boris Arias and Chris Simpson made a late run, Mousheg Hovhannisyan (North Hollywood, Calif./Continental HS) cut the run short and held serve to secure the 8-6 win along with partner David Sofaer (Bellevue Hill, Australia/Sydney Distance Education HS).
Fanselow has been brilliant thus far in the NCAA Tournament, and won 20 games in a row before allowing one. Yesterday the senior won 6-0, 6-0 and was leading today 6-0, 2-0 before Simpson held serve to win a game. The West Coast Conference Player of the Year still put away the match 6-0, 6-3.
Sofaer put the Waves ahead 3-0 after disposing of Harrison Kennedy 6-2, 6-1.
With Pepperdine leading matches on three of the four remaining courts, Alcantara was the player to put point No. 4 on the board. The junior outlasted Mark Bowtell, 6-2, 6-1.
The Waves will face #32 Memphis in the round of 16 on Thursday, May 16 on the courts of the Khan Tennis Complex in Urbana, Ill. The Tigers shutout BYU in the first round before upsetting #7 Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. 4-2 in round two.

This is from the roof of the han near Nurosmaniye. As you can see it is not quite next door to that mosque, but with this picture in your mind you ought to be able to find your way. For that is Nurosmaniye in the distance. To the left another han. This region is a warren of hans, and you can enter them all, climb stairs, chat with the many people working their, or just using them for storage. I am afraid some day they will all (have to) move to large scale business centres outside of the old city, and the hans will be turned into luxury hotels or apartments. What a drag.

The Aleutian Tern is a coastal, colonial nesting seabird of Alaska and e. Siberia, with known breeding colonies distributed sparsely over a wide range (Fig. 1). Discovered in 1868 on Kodiak I., Alaska, this species has been little studied to date, although the limited quantity of original data available for it has been synthesized several times (e.g., Bent 1921, Gabrielson and Lincoln 1959, Harrison 1983, Craig Harrison 1984, Cramp 1985, Haney et al. 1991).
On its breeding grounds, this tern frequently associates with Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) in North America and Common Terns (S. hirundo longipennis) in Siberia. Its distribution and abundance, breeding phenology, and habitat use are fairly well known, but its behaviors are not well described, although the species seems to share behaviors common to most tern species. Its molts and plumages, migrations, patterns of survival and mortality, and winter ranges are largely unknown. This species was believed to winter in the North Pacific Ocean, but specimens from the Philippines (subadults collected in May 1984) and sightings in Hong Kong (adults in fall of 1992) support speculation that it winters in the South Pacific near Australia and the Philippines.
In Eurasia, the Aleutian Tern is known also as the Kamchatka Tern (Portenko 1973) or the White-fronted Tern (Dement'ev and Gladkov 1951), the latter name proposed because the species was then unknown from the Aleutian Islands. Thus Craig Harrison (1984) listed "White-fronted Tern" as an alternate name for the Aleutian Tern. Nevertheless, this species should not be confused with the White-fronted Tern (S. striata) of southeastern Australia and New Zealand, a separate species (see Harrison 1983).

The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement. They bring help, hope and love to people in the war zones of Burma. Ethnic pro-democracy groups send teams to FBR to be trained, supplied and sent into the areas under attack to provide emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing and human rights documentation. The teams also operate a communication and information network inside Burma that provides real time information from areas under attack.
In addition to relief and reporting, other results of the teams' actions are the development of leadership capacity, civil society and the strengthening of inter-ethnic unity. The teams are to avoid contact with the Burma Army and operate under the protection of the ethnic resistance armies. However, they cannot run away if the people they are helping cannot escape the Burma Army. Men and women of many ethnic groups and religions are part of FBR.
There are only three requirements for team members;
1. Love- Each person strives to do this for the love of the people and no one is paid. They still belong to their parent organizations.
2. Ability to read and write - due to the medical, documentation and other skills needed, literacy in at least one language is required.
3. Physical and moral courage- they have to have the physical strength and endurance to be able to walk to crisis areas, and the moral courage to be with people under attack and to stand with them if they cannot flee.
Since 1997, FBR has trained over 110 multi-ethnic relief teams and there are 48 full time teams active in the Karen, Karenni, Shan, Pa'O, Arakan, Kachin, Chin and Lahu areas of Burma. The teams have conducted over 350 humanitarian missions of 1-2 months into the war zones of Burma. On average between 1,000-2,000 patients are treated per mission with 2,000 more people helped in some way. The teams have treated over 360,000 patients and helped over 750,000 people.
To free the oppressed and to stand for human dignity, justice and reconciliation in Burma.
To bring help, hope and love to people of all faiths and ethnicities in the conflict zones of Burma, to shine a light on the actions of oppressors, to stand with the oppressed and support leaders and organizations committed to liberty, justice and service.
1) To inspire, train and equip people in Burma to bring positive change through acts of love and service.
2) To provide immediate medical assistance, shelter, food, clothing, educational materials and other humanitarian aid in the war zones and to improve logistics and medical evacuation.
3) To develop the Information Network of Burma that documents, reports and disseminates accounts of human rights violations and provides an early warning system of Burma Army attacks.
4) To provide prayer and counseling for victims of human rights abuses and to support programs for women and children.
5) To train, equip and sustain indigenous humanitarian relief teams in the field.
The Free Burma Rangers (FBR), conduct relief, advocacy, leadership development and unity missions among the people of Burma.
Relief: FBR teams provide emergency medical, educational, spiritual, material and general assistance to people who suffer under oppression in Burma. Teams move throughout the conflict and crisis areas to give aid and comfort and also conduct leadership training, as well as medical, educational, reporting and general capacity building for people inside Burma. Teams also document human rights violations and report to the relevant authorities. Priority of assistance goes to the Internally Displaced People (IDP), of Burma as well as to those who's villages have recently been attacked by the Burma Army. FBR teams stand in solidarity with those who suffer and assist people of all races and faiths.
Advocacy: FBR reports regularly on the situation inside Burma, sending information to supporters, news media, other NGOs and governments. In addition, FBR supports the annual Global Day of Prayer for Burma.
Leadership: In addition to relief and reporting, other results of the teams' actions are the development of leadership capacity, civil society and the strengthening of inter-ethnic unity. The FBR conducts leadership development and communications training in order to strengthen civil society, build leadership capacity and develop communications. Communications tools such as radio broadcasts, cassette tapes, print media are used in the ongoing effort for reconciliation and unity.
Ethnic Unity: FBR helps coordinate annual seminars between the ethnic groups of Burma as well as the pro-democracy Burmans.
FBR Operations:
• Northern Karen State: FBR's largest training, conducted in the fall, generally includes multiple ethnic groups and a one-month follow on mission, including the GLC school tour. Training includes both basic and advanced classes.
• Southern Karen State: training of Mergui-Tavoy FBR teams, generally conducted in late summer, lasting for one month.
• Shan State: training of Shan and occasionally Karenni FBR teams, conducted in the spring, lasting approximately 6 weeks.
• Other trainings: conducted as logistics, personnel and time permit, on invitation from specific groups.
• The Jungle School of Medicine-Kawthoolei: pilot medical school program to provide a one year training for beginning medics that includes a clinical setting.
Currently there are 59 active Free Burma Ranger teams, each of which goes on approximately 2-4 missions a year. These missions are conducted in the teams' home areas and are under the direction of FBR coordinators and local leaders.
FBR helps to manage patient care for select patients who are evacuated to receive advanced medical care.
FBR is involved with other projects as well, including support of a hostel for Karen children, located along the border; and support of a hostel for Wa children, located in Chiang Mai.
All FBR trainings and missions are conducted at the request of, with the help of and alongside the local pro-democracy ethnic organization in each each area of FBR's operations. In Karen State, this is the Karen National Union, in the Shan State it is the Shan State Army South and the Shan State Restoration Council, and so on. FBR also works together and coordinates with other organizations along the border for information sharing, organizational development and unity. "de oppresso liber"

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Immigration Law
The Supreme Court today backed an Arizona law that sanctions businesses that hire illegal immigrants.
On a 5-3 vote, the court held that federal immigration law does not preempt Arizona from suspending or revoking the licenses of businesses that violate state immigration law.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the 27-page opinion, which can be found here. And here's a report from WSJ.
Then-Gov. Janet Napolitano signed the Arizona law in 2007, saying that while immigration is a federal responsibility, Arizona had been forced to deal with the issue because the demand for cheap, undocumented labor in the state was contributing to illegal immigration.
Numerous organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce, have contended the state's law was barred by the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which forbids states from imposing sanctions for hiring illegal immigrants, WSJ reports. But the federal law exempts "licensing and similar laws," and a key issue in the case was whether Arizona's law fell under that exemption.
The Chamber of Commerce argued that allowing states and localities to regulate immigration would create a "crazy quilt" of statues that will burden employers and would be unfair to employees, according to WSJ.
Several states have enacted similar measures penalizing employers for hiring illegal workers, while others are considering legislation like Arizona's.
Three of the high court's liberal wing dissented: Justices Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor; Kagan did not participate because she worked on it previously while serving as U.S. solicitor.

Hungarian Government Strikes Back at Constitutional Court
Hungary's governing Fidesz party said it wants to curb the powers of the country's Constitutional Court after the court ruled its proposed bill to claw-back severance pay to public sector worker was unconstitutional.
This is the first time the court has shot down legislation passed by Fidesz, which has enjoyed an overwhelming majority in the Hungarian parliament since coming to power in May of this year.
On Tuesday, the court rejected the government's 98% extra tax on public-sector severance pay above 2 million forints ($10,185), retroactive to the beginning of this year. The tax is aimed not only at incomes that the government considers going against "good morals," but also at the wages and salaries of public sector workers that, until now, have been perfectly legal.
Fidesz, which counts many lawyers among its ranks, retaliated with a proposal to take away the Constitutional Court's jurisdiction over issues, such as fiscal matters, taxes and tariffs that cannot be the subject of a national referendum. Fidesz wants to amend the Hungarian constitution to this effect.
If Fidesz is successful, the rejected severance tax bill could be passed again in unchanged form, as Fidesz's parliamentary faction leader Janos Lazar suggested Monday. Furthermore, tax-like charges would also be on the list of matters the nation can't vote on in a national referendum, Mr. Lazar added.
On Monday, the Fidesz-dominated parliament approved bills that will allow the government to withhold pension premium transfers to private pension funds. These contributions are channeled through the state budget and the government plans to withhold the money for 14 months starting in November to meet budget deficit targets. The opposition Socialist party, which ruled Hungary for eight years before the Fidesz victory this year, wants to hold a national referendum on the matter.

California dealerships will be able to sell and install approved aftermarket parts on new motorcycles at the time of purchase, before the bikes are delivered to customers, starting Jan. 1.
The new law signed in early October by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger changes existing anti-tampering rules ordering that bikes must be sold in factory condition at the time of original purchase.
Before the new law, for a motorcycle dealer to install aftermarket parts or performance parts on a new motorcycle, the customer had to first buy the bike, take it out of the dealership and then return to have the products installed. This precluded the buyer from financing the cost of the parts with the new motorcycle.
Backed by the California Motorcycle Dealer Association and sponsored by assemblymen Mike Duvall (R-Yorba Linda), the law is expected to take the weight off many motorcycle dealers who feared fines from the state's emission's control agency.
"This is a tremendous win for California motorcycle and motorsports dealers. They can now fill their buyers' demands for customization and more performance when they buy a new motorcycle without fearing that they could be fined for selling and installing legal parts," says John Paliwoda, the CMDA's executive director.
Over the past couple of years, the California Air Resources Board has stepped up enforcement of the state's anti-tampering laws and collected millions of dollars in fines against dealers, distributors and manufacturers. In January 2006, CARB sent out an advisor warning dealers that it was illegal to advertise, offer for sale, sell or install parts that hadn't received an executive order from the agency. The advisory also prohibited the sale and installation, on new motorcycles, of legal aftermarket parts that had already received CARB's approval.
After Jan. 1, dealers will be able to factor in the price of aftermarket P&A into the overall financing cost of a new motorcycle, and install the items before the bike is delivered. The law also covers OE parts and accessories.
"CARB needs to promote, not discourage, legal motorcycle parts sales and installation," says Paliwoda.
A statement from the office of the bill's sponsor, Duvall, says that by "permitting concurrent financing of aftermarket and performance parts on newly purchased motorcycles" the new law "will help to encourage the use of CARB-certified equipment."

Blocks Rock – A Cocoa Asynchronous NSURLConnection block example
So I heard that blocks were one of the new features of 4.1 and I decided to give it a try. And it's awesome! Within half an hour I'd solved a problem that I'd had to make much more complicated implementations to solve previously, and I'm so excited I decided I'd share the code.
Problem: NSURLConnection asynchronous connections are ugly. If you want to have one controller make multiple different calls you have to make unique delegates for each call or have some convoluted way for the connection manager to tell one delegate from another. It's a real mess.
Solution: BLOCKS!
Step 1: Create NSURLConnection block extension that allows for calling async methods from class API like you would sync method.
// // NSURLConnection-block.h // // Created by Kevin Lohman on 9/12/10. // Copyright 2010 Logic High Software. All rights reserved. // Free to use in your code commercial or otherwise, as long as you leave this comment block in // http://blog.logichigh.com/2010/09/12/cocoa-blocks/ #import
@interface NSURLConnection (block) #pragma mark Class API Extensions + (void)asyncRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request success:(void(^)(NSData *,NSURLResponse *))successBlock_ failure:(void(^)(NSData *,NSError *))failureBlock_; @end
#import "NSURLConnection-block.h" @implementation NSURLConnection (block) #pragma mark API + (void)asyncRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request success:(void(^)(NSData *,NSURLResponse *))successBlock_ failure:(void(^)(NSData *,NSError *))failureBlock_ { [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(backgroundSync:) toTarget:[NSURLConnection class] withObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: request,@"request", successBlock_,@"success", failureBlock_,@"failure", nil]]; } #pragma mark Private + (void)backgroundSync:(NSDictionary *)dictionary { NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; void(^success)(NSData *,NSURLResponse *) = [dictionary objectForKey:@"success"]; void(^failure)(NSData *,NSError *) = [dictionary objectForKey:@"failure"]; NSURLRequest *request = [dictionary objectForKey:@"request"]; NSURLResponse *response = nil; NSError *error = nil; NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error]; if(error) { failure(data,error); } else { success(data,response); } [pool release]; } @end
Now just import your new class and make your async call! AWESOME!
[NSURLConnection asyncRequest:request success:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response) { NSLog(@"Success!"); } failure:^(NSData *data, NSError *error) { NSLog(@"Error! %@",[error localizedDescription]); }];

I should comment… seems blocks are a little more work then I'd originally hoped. While this will work in some places, NSThread is a lot of overhead, and using a Singleton connection manager is probably a more efficient way to go. Additionally, when you are using values in blocks, it's important to make sure they are in scope (make copies of parameter variables) and to check for the existence of those variables before calling them. Otherwise nasty, hard to track errors can occur with nested blocks.
By Kevin Lohman, September 21, 2010 @ 6:24 pm
Okay… additionally, I've found it's important to copy your blocks. parameterBlock = [[parameterBlock copy] autorelease];
Especially if you plan on using multiple nested blocks.
By Hans Pinckaers, November 7, 2010 @ 9:56 am
Awesome thanks! You could also use GCD.
By Tom Bradley, January 29, 2011 @ 3:36 am
Hi, this is a great idea! It tidies up the code so much!
However, I've tidied it up a bit further. Instead of creating an NSThread to do the work just use Grand Central Dispatch. The method below is all you need.
+ (void)asyncRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request success:(void(^)(NSData *,NSURLResponse *))successBlock_ failure:(void(^)(NSData *,NSError *))failureBlock_
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
if (error) {
} else {
[pool release];

@Kevin Lohman: actually the blocks should be copied in only one case (but that's a big case): if the block is supposed to be live beyond the scope in which it's created (it's the case in asynchronous operations like here), the block MUST be copied to the heap or you will get a crash for sure. And the code in this blog post is bound to crash.
Here is the corrections, it's at the dictionary creation:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[[successBlock_ copy] autorelease],@"success",
[[failureBlock_ copy] autorelease],@"failure",
Short explanation: blocks are allocated on the stack for optimization purpose, when the function returns the stack is cleaned up and the block dies out. The block has to be moved to the heap to exist beyond the scope, at that point it works like any other ObjC objects.
When the block is still on the stack, -retain doesn't do anything to the object, -retain must always return the receiver, that's part of the semantic, thus sending retain to a block (like what NSDictionary is doing) won't copy it to the heap. It has to be copied explicitly, you can then autorelease it because the dictionary will retain the block, in this case it works properly because -retain on a heap block increase its retain count just like normal ObjC objects.
By BadPirate, June 24, 2011 @ 2:40 pm
@Remy – Even better now… Using ARC (Auto retain / release, see XCode 4.2 documentation) the copy / autorelease nonsense is no longer required at all! (Celebration!)
By Julius, December 28, 2011 @ 9:49 pm
seems like your async call cannot be cancel
By 0x8badf00d, February 3, 2012 @ 7:46 am
Misleading title. Making a Synchronous network call on background thread doesn't make it asynchronous. You are blocking thread that makes synchronous request and waits for response, if the server takes several minutes to reply back your thread is blocked until then.
By Marcelo Cantos, February 8, 2012 @ 3:58 pm
The better solution would have been to wrap NSURLConnection's asynchronous model in blocks.
By 0xSina, April 17, 2012 @ 12:32 pm
As Marcelo Cantos stated, much better solution is to wrap this in NSURLConnections' asynchronous model. YOu get more functionality, and speed. i wrote URLConnection, it's easy to use and add to your project. Find the link to it below:
By BadPirate, June 26, 2013 @ 9:18 am
FYI — Code here is mostly to demonstrate blocks, and is actually a really terrible way to do async connection handling (it spawns a new thread for EACH connection, bad memory management). A better solution is to use NSOperationQueue to handle it… or better still check out Apple's NSURLSession (iOS developers only until iOS 7 goes live).
By BadPirate, June 26, 2013 @ 9:19 am
Absolutely. This was an example of making your own method with Blocks… At the time there wasn't much on the web about them, but Apple is thankfully using it more and more (though the syntax can still get confusing and hard to write off the top of your head)

Galloway's Book on Running 2nd Edition
Galloway's Book on Running has sold over 400,00 copies since it was first published in 1984, and is known among runners as the finest work ever published on the art and science of running. Jeff Galloway is a world-class runner who decided back in the '80s that his mission in life was to teach others how to run, and in doing so, make fitness a permanent part of their lives.
The original book featured training programs for 10K races and marathons. Since he recently wrote an entire book devoted to marathons, Jeff decided to remove marathon training from Galloway's Book on Running, and included the very popular 5K and half-marathon distances, along with the 10K.
What's New in the 2nd Edition:
- 5K and half-marathon training programs
- Less focus on pulse-checking as a component of training
- Walk break concept introduced for all race distances
- Much more information on training in the extremes of hot and cold weather
- A new chapter on motivation and mental training
- The most current information on nutrition

Sam put together an awesome feature on Joe Vitale (or Joey V. as the team calls him) and the long road he took to get to where he is today with his two-year, one-way deal. Check it out!!!
We posted Saturday's "What to Watch for" earlier than usual because of the afternoon start, so everything you need to know about tomorrow's Pens-Bruins tilt can be found right here!
We spoke to the newest Penguin, Cal O'Reilly, following his first practice with the team. Here's what he had to say...
On learning this system:
It's fairly different systems than I've been playing with other teams, but the guys have been great. I know Steve Sullivan pretty well, he's been helping me out a lot. The coaches are showing me video. It's a pretty aggressive style and I really like that.
On what he did on the day off:
We did a lot of video so they could show me what they expect and what the systems are. When you see it in a video, it makes it easier to learn.
On their plan for him:
I'm not too sure. I think playing it day-by-day here. This is only the second time I've skated in four days. We'll see how it goes (Saturday) and maybe I'll be in.
On the whole process:
It's been a tough year, I've been all over the place. But that's part of it. I'm happy to be here. I want to come in here and help any way I can and keep things going here.
On going to the Penguins:
When you come to a team like this that has all this depth and they want some more depth so they get you, that's good for your confidence.
On if he thinks he'll play during the road trip:
I hope so. I think conditioning-wise, I feel fine. I had a good little break there. It was good to rest some injuries. So hopefully, but we'll see how it goes.
Here's the rest of coachspeak with Dan Bylsma...
On their plan for Cal O'Reilly:
The plan is to get him in some hockey games for us. Today we played him on a line with Steve Sullivan and Tyler Kennedy, which is a little bit more of an offensive-looking line. I'm looking to work him in on the second power play as well. So yes, we'll see him on this trip.
On Joe Vitale:
Joe's got speed, clearly. He's got physicality and is a tenacious guy, a faceoff guy and a penalty killing guy. There's a lot of grit and speed in his game. He really has an effect on other teams' defense. The way he can skate and the way he can hit and be physical, he's certainly added that in a third and fourth line role for us.
On losing his voice:
I had a full day of rest yesterday and today it just cracked in practice. We had an exceptional practice, so I don't have an explanation.
On the Carolina-Boston game:
I watched the first period then I watched the Arctic Foxes peewee AA team practice. I'm getting to the rest of the Carolina-Boston game today.
On the Bruins:
They have great structure, great depth. They're really sound both offensively and defensively. You see it every game they play. You also saw Carolina win four games against them playing with some speed and getting on them and forcing them with that speed. Carolina is not a real big team, but they did force them in a lot of ways. We're definitely going to look at that game and more of the Carolina games to get an idea of what they did well and what we can do against a good team.
Despite losing his voice earlier today, head coach Dan Bylsma soldiered on and gamely gave his usual post-practice update to the media.
He said that Arron Asham continues to suffer from concussion-like symptoms. He also gave an update on Sidney Crosby (who skated before practice: see 10:26 AM entry), Jordan Staal and Simon Despres.
"Jordan Staal and Simon Despres had an off-ice workout today and did not skate," Bylsma said. "They will be coming with us on the trip. Sidney Crosby skated and will also be coming with us on the trip."
When asked when he thought Crosby, Staal and Despres could return to practice, Bylsma answered:
"At this point in time, we don't have a plan for any of those guys to join. Both Jordan and Simon are progressing and sometime next week would be a possibility."
Pics of the Pens at work...

This kind of reminds me of Waterboy. "Gatorade!!! ... H2O ..." (left); Johnson and Kennedy (right)
McDonald (left); Martin (right)
As anticipated, O'Reilly is at practice and he's wearing No. 16. Asham is the only player not on IR that's absent.
Pens' lines:
News alert: the Pens have re-signed forward Joe Vitale to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $550,000. Huge congrats to the hard-working Vitale, who has emerged as one of the Pens' most versatile performers during his first full NHL campaign.

Pens captain Sidney Crosby skated before practice with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar.
Here's the evidence...
Today should be forward Cal O'Reilly's first practice with the team since the Pens acquired him on re-entry waivers from Phoenix on Wednesday morning. He met the team in Toronto that night, but did not play in the game. However, our own Sam Kasan talked to O'Reilly and Pens GM Ray Shero during one of the intermissions on the acquisition. Click here for everything you need to know about O'Reilly.

Good morning everyone! The Pens are scheduled for an 11 a.m. practice at Southpointe this morning after getting a day off yesterday. (Practice is open to the public for any fans that would like to attend!) The team will jet off to Boston immediately following their skate for their Saturday afternoon tilt with the Bruins.
It's Pittsburgh's first trip to Beantown this season, so before we move on to all things hockey-related I've got to start the blog with the obvious choice: Dropkick Murphy's popular song "I'm Shipping Off to Boston." (Sidenote: I knew this was a popular song for sporting events, but didn't realize just how prevalent it was. Look it up on Wikipedia and see the list. Must be the bagpipes). Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Arlington police ask for help, suspects for Vietnamese couple murdered in June
Yesterday marked the 100th day since an elderly, Vietnamese couple were murdered inside their Arlington home, so today Arlington Police and a family spokeswoman spoke to the media and asked for help from the public in solving the crime.
Huong Ly, 63, and Long Nguyen, 72, were found dead from strangling inside their home on June 10. Police found them after receiving a call from a family member called 911 after finding a window open at the couple's home
Homicide Detective Byron Stewart said he's received a number of tips ever since a $10,000 reward was issued by Oak Farms Dairy, but he's still doesn't know anything about the suspect or suspects.
"We have gotten a lot of [tips], but it's one that will lead us to the suspect," he said. "We believe there's a strong possibility that someone out there is sitting on some strong knowledge about this case."
Stewart wouldn't reveal much about the case because he said he wants to make sure they can verify the accuracy of any tips coming in, but he did say the couple's death was particularly violent. "They were killed in a brutal, horrific way," he said.
"Burglary or robbery is certainly a possibility," Stewart said. "It's not really strictly clear what the motive was behind the suspect's actions."
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Stewart at 817 459-5691, or call Crime Stoppers at (817) 469-TIPS (8477) to submit an anonymous tip.

A tag-along remedy for the bicycle blues.
The nicest thing about the Lezyne Loaded Caddy is that it's always there when you need it. With plenty of room for a spare tube and plus the included tire levers, V5 multi-tool and patch kit, you can take care of everyday mechanicals quickly and easily and get back on the road. or the trail.

Disappointed with the durability
Love the size of the bag, but I had issues with the zipper wearing out and breaking a lot sooner than I'd have hoped or expected.
Small size. Small
This bag does install easily and fits well under the saddle. But it is quite a bit smaller than I expected, I can only get one CO2 cartridge and a spare tube inside. But since it already has the tool and tire bars in it, it can carry the very basics.
Little dissapointed
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The bag and the tools supplied are a decent quality, however, you do not get the same tools that are in the stock photo. The tool is not the RAP 13 listed and the tire levers are much smaller and flimsier than the ones in the photo.
Lezyne Loaded Caddy with Tools
Pouch size is small and acceptable. The overall disappointment was the tool. As mentioned by the Backcountry description; it was a RAP-13 multi-tool. What was actually given was V-5 tool set.

need water proof bag forwallet, phone andcamera
This bag is awesome! So tiny yet it fits so much. Got to the love the fact it comes with tools and there is so much room for more, like a tube, etc. East to fit on our bikes and great to have for those just incase moments. Easy fits right under seat and out of the way and not bulky at all. Got to love it and got to love Backcountry!
Great Saddle Bag
The bag is a great size; there is just enough free space inside for a spare tube.
The tools are worth their weight in gold when you're miles away from home and need to fix something. Bag attached easily to my saddle and I don't notice it at all when riding.
Overall, an excellent value.
Used all these tools this morning and it was worth its weight in gold to get me to work on time. Great deal for great tools.

Attila Resources Seeks $5.2 Million
Attila Resources is seeking to raise around 5 million Australian dollars (US$5.2 million) for working capital and to fund drill programs at its Seymour Property coking coal project in the U.S., a person familiar with the matter said.
The raising, led by Patersons Securities and Investorfirst Securities, is being conducted at 80 cents a share, a 20% discount to the stock's last-traded price of A$1.00 a share.
Attila, which owns options at Seymour Property through a 70%-owned subsidiary Kodiak Mining Company, entered a trading halt Tuesday pending a capital raising. Kodiak's flagship Kodiak coking coal project is in Shelby County, Alabama and is located 3.5 kilometers north of Seymour Property.
The Perth-based miner also owns coal and gold exploration assets in Western Australia.

If you do business online and receive payments via Paypal, you probably already know that Paypal does not protect sellers of digital downloads from unscrupulous buyers. A buyer can, and many do, purchase an item and then immediately file a Paypal dispute. Many sellers will just issue a refund to keep their Paypal accounts in good standing, even if they know that the dispute has been filed fraudulently for the sole purpose of receiving the product for free.
I have heard over and over in forums that there is little you can do to fight back against this type of Paypal fraud, but that isn't exactly true. You can't recover the money they sent if you refund, of course, but you can prevent them from using the product they bought on a website. Continue Reading

DARTMOUTH — State Auditor Suzanne Bump has approved UMass Dartmouth's proposal to privatize its campus bookstore.
The proposal "passes muster," Bump said in a press release.
The proposal submitted last year demonstrates "the public interest is being served by providing services that are at least of equal quality to the services provided by public sector workers, and that the public will not end up losing money," Bump said in the release.
According to state law, the contracted services have to be at least of equal quality and save public money.
The UMass Faculty Federation, Local No. 1895, which represents faculty, librarians, technicians and professional staff (Educational Services Unit) opposed the proposal and filed two complaints last year.
Bruce Sparfven, chairman of the Educational Services Unit, said he is "disappointed" with the state's decision.
"It appears that our campus administration is willing to trade off current and future profitability of an efficient self-operating bookstore with excellent service to the students and campus community for managing a contract with a private company that is risky at best," he said.
During spring break, management of the store will transfer to Follett, the company that manages bookstores at the Amherst, Boston, and Lowell campuses. The contract would lead to greater profits and enhanced student services such as digital learning materials, said university spokesman John Hoey.
The five-year contract would increase the university's revenues by $482,315, the release stated.

Wheat Price Highlights: Futures Down on Harvest Pressure
- All three wheat futures closed lower this week due to harvest pressure and reports of larger crops in the U.S. and Australia, the top two wheat exporters. U.S. winter wheat harvest began last week, weighing on markets. A sharp drop in corn value mid-week also added pressure to wheat markets. The KCBT July saw the largest loss of the three nearby wheat contracts, down 27 cents to $7.12/bu. CBOT July wheat fell 17 cents to $6.81/bu and MGEX July dropped 8 cents to close at $8.12/bu. CBOT July Corn lost 8 cents to $6.55/bu and CBOT Soybeans closed down 11 cents at $15.17/bu.
- In its monthly WASDE update, USDA increased estimated US production by 1 percent to 56.6 MMT. However, estimated world production decreased 5.24 MMT to 696 MMT, due to lower production in Russia, Ukraine and the EU. Projected global ending stocks fell 5.0 MMT from May to 181 MMT.
- On Wednesday, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture (ABARES) increased its estimate for the 2013/14 Australian wheat crop to 25.4 MMT. If realized, it would be 15 percent greater than last year's output of 22.1 MMT and be the fourth largest crop on record. USDA left its estimate for Australian production unchanged from May at 24.5 MMT.
- USDA reported the first winter wheat harvested area of the year this week, showing 5 percent complete as of June 9. Harvest is well behind last year's pace of 37 percent complete to date and below the five-year average of 16 percent harvested.
- The Baltic Panamax Index increased for the first time in two months, up 95 points to 859. The index found support from South American grain imports and spill over strength in larger vessels carrying iron ore and coal. Maritime Research's Grain Freight Index increased from 479.2 to 480.7.
- The US Dollar Index fell 1 percent this week from 81.66 to 80.66.

5 of the coolest exhibitions at the Prince Felipe Science Museum
14:29, June 2 2014
Valencia's science and technology museum is a monument to Prince Felipe's (now the King of Spain's), passion for technology.
Prince Felipe has become the new King of Spain - taking over from his dad, Juan Carlos - but did you know that Felipe is a lover of all things science and technology?
The fact that one of Spain's top science and tech attractions has been named after him is a bit of a giveaway. The Príncipe Felipe Science Museum aka Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe is part of the City of Arts and Sciences, an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in Valencia. And it's crammed full of some of the best science and technology exhibitions you'll find anywhere in the world.
So, to celebrate King Felipe's new reign, we've cherry picked some of the most impressive exhibitions that can be enjoyed at his museum.
Chromosome Forest
The Chromosome Forest consists of 23 gigantic pairs of chromosomes, representing the human species' genome. Stroll around the display and you'll discover many little known facts about, well, you: How much water is in your body? What is your chemical composition? What lets you listen? Where does blood go when it leaves your heart?
