Volunteers participate in the seasonal and daily rounds of the farm and household and can also engage in community projects. Here are some possibilities:
- Organic Farming. Milk buffaloes, pick pineapples, help design a new project, or just load the biogas chamber with dung. We welcome guests to participate at all levels. In return, you'll learn about integrating animal husbandry with crops, growing food in forest farms, organic pest control, and the crops appropriate to various seasons in this semi-tropical region.
- Food Processing. Growing food is only part of the job. Next comes all the work that gets that food to the table. In Nepal, that work is often done by women, but in our home, men are encouraged to join in too. Churn butter, grind turmeric and specialty flours, prepare spicy chutneys, and learn how to make homestyle Nepali dal bhat.
- Teaching English. The Parajuli family helped develop a community-run school. English is an essential part of the curriculum and native English speakers are needed to teach and help the children with conversation. In return, you can enjoy the smiles and laughter of the children.
- Community projects. For those with the initiative, there are opportunities to get involved with various community groups. For instance, a local women's group wishes to set up a library. Udaya and family wish to build a network to encourage other farmers in the area to move to organic farming. if interested, ask Udaya and Sadhana about the possibilities at any particular time.
- Microcredit. For anyone with interest in developing local systems for micro-credit, there would probably be interest in the wider community for connecting local entrepeneurs up with lenders such as Kiva.

MySpace to slash a third of its workforce
The social networking site announces the staff cuts as it is hit by competition from rivals Facebook and Twitter
The job cuts are the brainchild of new chief executive Owen Van Natta, who was appointed two months ago to replace MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe and is tasked with the job of increasing the popularity of the site. It has recently struggled with competition from Facebook and Twitter, more recent entrants which have caught the public's imagination.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned networking site is to cut 420 staff from a total of 1,400 in the US, with Van Natta describing the company's employee wage bill as "bloated". He went on to say "I understand that these changes are painful for many. They are also necessary for the long-term health and culture of MySpace." It is thought that the company will also close offices in Europe.
MySpace executives hope that the new staffing levels will help it return to a start-up culture, with more innovation and new ideas. News Corp paid $580m for the operation in 2005 and it has by and large been a success, with 125m monthly users, earning its parent around $200m a year. However with its three year advertising deal with Google due to end next year, and a vast reduction in the $900m the internet giant initially paid likely, cost cuts are needed.
Analyst Debra Williamson at eMarketer on BBC.co.uk: "Thirty per cent is more than a haircut. It's chopping the head off. [It is a] very aggressive move… to send a message to the marketplace that they're really taking the turnaround of MySpace seriously."
Jeff Segal in the Daily Telegraph: "Without Google's business, MySpace could be set to lose $100m annually. That may help explain the cuts demanded by Owen Van Natta, the two month old chief executive. His former employer Facebook, meanwhile, expects to generate positive cash flow next year, but if advertisers are becoming sceptical that's no certainty."

Deepika Padukone at loggerheads with Farhan
Farhan believes that since they are getting a number of offers from TV shows and soaps to come and promote their film, they should go ahead and do it. This will help publicize the film and will promote it well among audiences.
Deepika, however, is of the opinion that people have already received the promos well and they will come to watch the film because they"ll be genuinely interested, not because it has been exposed too much.
They are now trying to agree with each other and contemplating making an appearance on some shows.

Actually tastes like oneReally. It's not some candy taste. It's like actually biting into a fresh apple. It;s beyond words you really have to try it yourself.
Nice as a mixerI'm not one of the vape connoisseurs that knows all about making their own juices and all, but I really enjoy using the apple to add to my regular tobacco flavors to lighten it up and give it a little kick. Nice on its own too, but I prefer to use it as an add-on to my regular flavors.
Top FavoriteNot too sweet; I love to use this as an all day vape or to reset the taste buds after using cinnamons or mints long term. Its refreshing and tasty. You shouldn't be disappointed.
Love it but rarely in stock.This is my second favorite juice behind WowBoy but I can rarely buy it in 0mg nic strength.
I don't know the supply issues with this juice but I hope they restock it soon at the 0mg nic level.
must trygreat flavor - my favorite
One of my Top FavoritesIt is like vaping a Jolly Rancher, and that is a good thing.
Great flavorI like it almost as much as grape.
Sour-candy-ishDunno if the other person got some bad juice or something, but it tastes and smells kinda like apple jolly ranchers to me. Flavour isn't quite strong enough in my opinion, but otherwise I really like it.
AwesomeNot sure about the review above this, but Sour Green Apple is one of my favorite e-cig flavors from V4L! Not to sour and not to much of a regular apple flavor. Just the perfect balance!
Definitely SourWhat can I say if you looking for sour apple than look no further. I'm not a big fan of fruit flavors but I figured I'd give it a try. Kind of has a perfume taste on the inhale. I think I'll stick to the tobacco flavors from now on.
very goodcrisp red delicious apple! very good.
GOOD FLAVORnice flavor, green apple

Family law and criminal law and a baseball bat.
A Kansas man was convicted of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and contributing to a child's misconduct for convincing his 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son to kill his ex-wife by beating her with a baseball bat.
From the Kansas City Star via Mississippi Family Law Blog:
The kids attacked their Mom, Dad came over to help the kids finish Mom off, and luckily Mom got away. The daughter was granted immunity to testify against her father. The son will be tried as a juvenile, according to the article.
The article also states that the attack was prompted by a child custody dispute. It doesn't say, however, how long the dad will be in prison. Regardless, this family will never be the same.

I can believe that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did not, in fact, have advance knowledge that his deputy chief of staff for legislative and governmental affairs, Bridget Anne Kelly, apparently instigated a revenge "traffic attack" on the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J. The closing of lanes on the approach to the George Washington Bridge snarled traffic and inconvenienced thousands of commuters and travelers.
But I know from long experience that the tone of any organization originates at the top.

Beauty Queen Stripped of Title Because of Lingerie Pics
Posted August 22nd, 2014 @ 9:25am
@MARACAYACTIVA Por esta foto destituyen a Paola Builes candidata a Miss Colombia ¿Qué opinan? pic.twitter.com/JbWJm2Ffp4
— Juan Pablo (@JPCHE_pc) August 14, 2014
One Colombian beauty queen has been stripped of her crown after lingerie photos came out online. Pageant organizers say the the photos are too "racy" and not the type of behavior fitting a queen. But Paola Buoles Aristizabal argues that contestants wear tiny bikinis and lingerie for pageant photos all the time. Unfortunately the pageant board disagrees, opting instead to give the crown to Paola's runner-up which knocks Paola out of contention for the Miss Colombia title.

|Microfluidic Directed Formation of Liposomes of Controlled Size
|April 24, 2007
|A new method to tailor liposome size and size distribution in a microfluidic format is presented. Liposomes are spherical structures formed from lipid bilayers that are from tens of nanometers to several micrometers in diameter. Liposome size and size distribution are tailored for a particular application and are inherently important for in vivo applications such as drug delivery and transfection across nuclear membranes in gene therapy. Traditional laboratory methods for liposome preparation require post processing steps, such as sonication or membrane extrusion, to yield formulations of appropriate size. Here we describe a method to engineer liposomes of a particular size and size distribution by changing the flow conditions in a microfluidic channel obviating the need for post processing. A stream of lipids dissolved in alcohol is hydrodynamically focused between two sheathed aqueous streams in a microfluidic channel. The laminar flow in the microchannel enables controlled diffusive mixing at the two liquid interfaces where the lipids self-assemble into vesicles. The liposomes formed by this self-assembly process are characterized using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation combined with quasi-elastic light scattering and multi-angle laser-light scattering. We observe that the vesicle size and size distribution are tunable over a mean diameter from 50 nm to 150 nm by adjusting the ratio of the alcohol-to-aqueous volumetric flow rate. We also observe that liposome formation depends more strongly on the focused alcohol stream width and its diffusive mixing with the aqueous stream than on the sheer forces at the solvent-water interface.

Guy Behind the Guy: Match des Etoiles
|Mike Sundheim
Keep checking this page now through Sunday for a behind-the-scenes look at the game and the Montreal Canadiens' centennial celebration. Use the form below each entry to contact Mike with questions and comments.
As always, you can also comment and discuss with fellow Caniacs on our message boards.
Au Revoir Montreal
Jan. 26, 9:10 a.m., Montreal/Trudeau Airport
All seemed right in Montreal last night. The Eastern Conference won in an exciting shootout. The game's biggest star, Alex Ovechkin shined again, netting the shootout goal to seal the deal. And the hometown hero scored two goals in regulation and one in the shootout to earn MVP honors. The words you heard an awful lot when leaving the Bell Centre last night were, "You couldn't have written it any better."
There was one last official party last night, as Versus hosted a post-game bash at the nightclub "Opera" in Montreal. Needless to say, after all the games and parties, there were plenty of tired eyes checking out of hotels in Quebec this morning. Despite the weather, it was clear that Montreal was an excellent host for the league's premier weekend, as the entire city opened its arms to hockey people from around the globe.
As for our own All-Star, Eric will head to New York city this afternoon, where he'll meet the rest of the Canes. The team practices in Raleigh later today before flying to the Big Apple, where the Hurricanes play the Rangers on Tuesday night. Back to the grind.
If you missed Eric's interview with Adam Gold and Joe Ovies on 850 The Buzz last night, you can hear it here.
See you on Thursday night, when the Canes host the Lightning at the RBC Center.
Comments for Mike?
The Goal Streak Lives
Jan. 25, 9:45 p.m., Bell Centre
Staal's first-period tally extended his All-Star goal streak to three games, as the Canes star has now found the back of the net during All-Star games in Dallas, Atlanta and Montreal.
After the game, Staal was able to escape the media crunch just a little quicker than he could last year. Which is a good thing, since his locker was directly next to this year's MVP, Alexei Kovalev. (At least Eric managed to keep the MVP award on his own line).
He did, however have to sign some autographs, as a number of his teammates had their sticks and jerseys signed either for their own personal use or to auction for their personal charities.
I grabbed some quick sound with Eric after the game, which you can hear here.
You can also hear an interview that Joe Ovies and Adam Gold did with Staal tomorrow morning at 7:03 a.m. during 850 The Buzz's morning radio show.
Jan. 25, 9:05 p.m., Bell Centre
This is the scene outside the Canadiens' locker room right now, as the crowd full of media and team P.R. people await the shootout.
Eat your heart out, Part II
Jan. 25, 7:05 p.m., Bell Centre Media Lounge
I am probably at risk of being accused of talking about food too much today, but I had to take a second to pay tribute to the Montreal Canadiens' press room hot dogs.
As the press meal at the RBC Center is famous for its impressive spreads and Carolina barbecue, the media lounge at the Bell Centre is renowned for its hot dogs, which come made-to-order and wrapped in fresh toast. I have seen media and visiting team personnel knock back entirely too many hot dogs here on many occasions, and I certainly can't claim innocence in that regard. The hot dogs are not only available during the pre-game press meal, they continue to be cooked up throughout the game, so one can devour them at each intermission.
Knowing no visit to the Bell Centre would be complete without one of these tasty treats, I made my way to the press lounge during the first period with hot dogs on my mind. I know one certain former beat writer would appreciate that effort.
You have to figure Alex Kovalev is the early favorite to take home Eric Staal's MVP award this year, though there's a lot of hockey left to play. My personal pre-game pick, that fellow who wears number 8 for the East, is still in the mix as well.
Broken Glass
Jan. 25, 5:45 p.m., Bell Centre
I didn't see who the culprit was, but one of the Western Conference stars managed to shatter the glass directly behind the West's net during pre-game warmups. The shattered glass held in place for the rest of the warmups, allowing the Western starts to complete their warmups. Then the Bell Centre staff sprung to action to put in a new pane before pre-game introductions got going.
Enjoy the game!
Eat Your Heart Out, Paul Branecky
Jan. 25, 3:15 p.m., Harvey's
Fresh off a two-hour meeting with PR employees from the National Hockey League and the majority of its member clubs, I was feeling the need to satisfy both my hunger and my need for warmth during the walk back to my own hotel. As Caniac Matt had so kindly encouraged me to keep warm by eating "hot grits," I stopped at Harvey's to pick up some local fare to meet the same ends.
As I mentioned earlier, Poutine is basically french fries smothered in melted cheese and hot gravy. I am not sure whether Harvey's truly represents the pinnacle of poutine goodness, but it is sure hitting the spot right now.
Promo Shoots
11:45 a.m., Sofitel
Eric had just a couple media obligations this morning, each of which were taking place at his hotel here in downtown Montreal. Many of the rightsholding networks try to grab as many of the players as they can during All-Star Weekend, with so many of the league's premier players gathered in one place.
This particular shoot was with TSN, who is putting together a lot of their materials for their Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage. As a player who has raised the Cup, Eric was an ideal target to have speak to the difficulties of winning a championship in hockey. As always, Eric was a pro during the shoot, experienced enough to understand what the director wanted him to do and get pretty much everything done in a take or two.
He has one other shoot for the NHLPA in just a little bit, and then he should be pretty much free until the Eastern Conference bus heads to the Bell Centre this afternoon.
Mel's Cite du Cinema
Jan. 25 8:30 a.m., Sheraton
The venue for the NHL's Saturday night party was an interesting spot. On the river not far from downtown Montreal, the gala was held at Mel's Cite du Cinema. It's basically a set of gigantic sound stages for the filming of major motion pictures. Each of the rooms in which the party was held highlighted a film created at the Cite du Cinema, including The Aviator, The Day After Tomorrow and The Mummy
The servers all went along with the theme as well, dressing as characters or extras from the movies featured in their areas. And guests were invited to sit down for a hair cut or to have their makeup done in the "Green Room," which also offered costume changes for those in attendance. It was definitely a little different type of venue for a celebration that large - an area that was big enough to host what had to be well over a thousand guests, but still had its very own flavor and character.
I also thought the signs for the washrooms at the party were pretty clever, and had to snap a shot with my phone.
All-Star Sunday will get going with a little business for the P.R. guy, as I head down the street to the Queen Elizabeth for a meeting with P.R. folks from across the league and the NHL office. Just a reminder that the NHL's 57th All-Star Game starts at 6 p.m. this evening, and will be televised in the U.S. by Versus.
The Big Man Comes Through
Jan. 24 10:30 p.m., Bell Centre
Probably the most electric moment of tonight's Superskills competition came with the conclusion of the Hardest Shot contest, courtesy of the man our own John Forslund calls the "largest in captivity." Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who stands 6'9'', made good on his guarantee to win the contest in a big way, breaking Al Iafrate's 16-year-old record with a 105.4-mph slapshot. With the blast, he not only turned the boo's that the Canadiens' fans had greeted their rival player with into cheers, he also earned $24,000 for a charity very dear to his heart.
Superskills Star
Jan. 24, 7:55 p.m., Bell Centre
The one star you can't really appreciate on television tonight is probably the new JumboTron at the Bell Centre. Installed prior to this season, the 25'x 40' high-definition screen adds an exclamation point to the Canadiens' in-game production, which was already a cut above all others in the NHL (and any other sporting event I have ever been to).
He plays for our biggest rival, but it is hard not to love what Alexander Ovechkin brings to our sport. From the excitement of what he can do physically on the ice to the joy that his personality adds to the game, I think Ovechkin is the game's biggest star. My favorite quote of the day came from Mr. Overchkin on the red carpet:
"Every year is better and better with more people coming. More girls coming too."
Enjoy the rest of the Superskills Competition.
Jan. 24 4:15 p.m., Old Montreal
I guess it is sort of sad to think about the fact that we travel to all of these great cities all season long and never really have the time to really see the cities - or at to see the cities as the average tourist may see them. With a few free hours this afternoon, Mrs. GBTG and I headed down to Old Montreal to play tourist.
Though some of the sites in Old Montreal are closed this time of year, since not many people pick January as the time to journey through its cobblestone streets, we were able to see City Hall and Bonsecours Market before ducking inside for lunch in a café on Place Jacques-Cartier. We then winded down Rue Saint-Paul, home to eateries, galleries and hotels that I am sure are quite lively in the summer months.
Ultimately we made it to the landmark that I would guess is one the most visited around town, the Notre-Dame Basilica. Built in the 19th century, the Gothic Revival church is a pretty impressive structure inside and out, and worth the $5 even if just to get out of the cold. I am sure Larry O. would have organ envy if he caught sight of the Basilica's organ, with its 7,000 pipes.
I also wanted to answer one quick question from a special Caniac named Matt back in Raleigh. Matt was wondering what folks eat here in Montreal to stay warm, as he would enjoy "hot grits" on North Carolina. One Canadian delicacy that would surely warm the stomach is "poutine," which you can see a sign for in this picture Rue Saint-Paul. Poutine is basically fries smothered in hot gravy and melted cheese. I will try to snap a photo of some poutine at some point, if for no other reason than to make CarolinasHurricanes.com Webmaster Paul Branecky jealous.
Just a reminder that the Red Carpet Arrivals show is being broadcast live from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. on the NHL Network, or streaming live right here on CarolinaHurricanes.com. The Honda/NHL Superskills starts at 7 p.m. and is on Versus in the United States.
Jan. 24 12:30 p.m., Sheraton
I am back at the hotel thawing out, fresh from the Eastern Conference practice and what would normally seem like a short walk back to the hotel. Amazing how -2° F (-21° F wind chill) can make a five-minute walk seem like a 50-minute one.
But the weather is not the reason they picked Montreal to host an All-Star Game. What happened during this morning's practices put that explanation on full display, as a pretty much jam-packed house showed up at the Bell Centre. For a practice. No hot young music act playing to increase the attendance, just the 50 or so greatest hockey players in the world going for a light morning spin around the Bell Center ice. And it was loud, really loud. Again - for a practice.
Eric got some attention as always during the media scrum after the practice, and I grabbed some sound with my BlackBerry as he addressed reporters from TSN, Sportsnet, the USA Today, CTV and others. After fielding a few questions about fighting in the game, he had a chance to talk about the crowd at the Bell Centre and the honor (honour, as they spell it here) of playing in his third consecutive All-Star Game.
During my five-minute walk back to the hotel, I walked past the gigantic tent where the league's "Jamboree" is set up. The Jamboree is like a Fan Fest, with interactive activities and games for fans to enjoy in celebration of the All-Star weekend here. Our boy is prominently displayed on the tent itself, with a gigantic image just to the right of the main entrance.
Lining the street adjacent to the Jamboree are the jerseys of all 30 NHL teams, frozen in gigantic blocks of ice. Clearly, there is little concern that the ice will melt.
"We throw the torch"
Jan. 24 10:50 a.m., Bell Centre
One advantage of an Eastern city hosting the All-Star Game is that our players get to use the home team locker room. It's taboo for those of us who work for the team to go into the home team's locker room when we are on the road, so we don't often to get to see how other teams are set up. But today Eric Staal's gear hung directly next to hometown hero's Alexei Kovalev's, affording us an opportunity to check out the Habs' digs.
The Canadiens' dressing room at the Bell Centre is built to look and feel a lot like their old room in the Montreal Forum. On one end of the room, the Montreal Canadiens logo is flanked by wooden panels featuring the rosters of every Canadiens' team in history, along with that season's result. The carpet covering the middle of the room is a replica of the ice rink. A marble slab in the room indicates every trophy individual winner in Habs history.
But perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the room is a line of poetry. On either side of the room, black-and-white photos of every single former Canadiens player who is now enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame line the space above the players' stalls. Above those photos are words from a poem by John McCrae, posted in English on one side and French on the other. In English, the words read:
The words are from McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields," composed during World War I. McCrae, a Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel, wrote it on May 3, 1915, after witnessing the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, the day prior. In the poem, McCrae refers to the poppies that grew in the Belgium field where war casualties had been buried, and thus poppies have grown into a popular symbol for the Canadian holiday, Remembrance Day (You have probably noticed hockey coaches wearing poppies on their lapel pins around that holiday each season). A portion of the poem is also on the Canadian $10 bill.
Former Montreal Canadiens' General Manager Frank Selke was a fan of poetry. In 1952, he chose the line from "In Flanders Field" to be posted in the Habs dressing room to inspire his own troops. The slogan became a permanent fixture in Canadiens' history, and made the move with the team into the Bell Centre, where it is displayed appropriately above the photos of the greatest players to wear Habs colors.
I just heard the sad news out of Raleigh today. My condolences to the entire Wolfpack family and anyone whose life has been touched by Kay Yow, and I know that means an awful lot of people. She was truly a special woman.
Bag Arrives / Hockey News Party
Jan. 24, 8:45 a.m.
All's well that ends well with the luggage situation, as my Hurricanes team-issued Reebok duffel bag found its way to our hotel last night. As much as I would have enjoyed a Ste-Catharines Street shopping trip this morning, I nonetheless exhaled a sigh of relief upon being reunited with my packed clothing. As for the $15 I paid to check that bag…
Last night's party was lovely, as guests including All Stars past and present enjoyed an evening out compliments of The Hockey News. The venue was decorated with gigantic, blown-up covers of The Hockey News, the publication whose primary focus has been our sport for the past 62 years. Among the covers featured was the one pictured here, which not only displayed Canadiens great Patrick Roy, but also a certain Buffalo Sabres netminder who is now a member of our coaching staff.
Beyond gigantic Hockey News covers, the venue also included bars made completely out of ice (I wouldn't suggest sitting your diet coke on one of these bars – I saw at least half a dozen people make this mistake), a faux JumbTron projecting BlackBerry advertisements, and the most famous trophy in sports. There were also ice-carved replicas of the Cup on display, but clearly the real thing was, as it tends to be, the featured attraction.
If you missed Eric Staal's interview on 99.9 FM's Insiders Friday afternoon, you can hear it here.
In just a couple hours, Eric will take to the ice at the Bell Centre for the first time this weekend, as the Eastern Conference All-Stars practice beginning at 11 a.m. Staal and his teammates will head back to the Bell Centre this evening around 5 p.m. for their "red carpet" arrivals prior to this evening's Superskills Competition (The NHL Network will air the "Red Carpet Show" tonight from 4-5:30 p.m., and live streaming video will also be on this Web site). The Honda NHL Superskills will be broadcast live on Versus tonight at 7 p.m.
Heading Out
Jan. 23, 6:00 p.m.
I just wanted to check in quickly before my wife and I head out to dinner. With a busy couple nights ahead, tonight will be pretty much our only chance to get out and have a nice dinner together. We also may swing by the big Friday night party here, which is hosted by The Hockey News.
Hurricanes fan Danielle chimed in to ask what events Eric Staal is participating in for the tomorrow night's Superskills competition. My understanding is that Eric actually will not be in any individual events this year – he will be a part of the various relay events Saturday night, including the Elimination Shootout. As for the events Eric won't be a part of, I definitely think the Breakaway Challenge is one to keep an eye on. I would be surprised if Alex Ovechkin didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve for tomorrow night, after wowing the crowd in Atlanta with a near-miss last year.
I also wanted to wish our own Anne Nelson all the best as she moves on to the next stage of her career, leaving the Hurricanes after more than a decade. Anne is a true Hurricanes old-schooler, one of the few left who remembers what our offices in Morrisville looked like or that the fourth floor of the RBC Center (ESA) used to be the sixth floor. It's always tough to see a friend and co-worker say goodbye, especially when it was someone who has been around as long as Anne has – someone who understands the commitment it takes to work in our industry for that long. Sorry I missed the going-away party today, Anne. All the best to you and your beautiful family.
And for those of you interested, WRALsportsfan.com has a feature up today about the Triangle's prospects of hosting the NHL All-Star Game, perhaps even as soon as 2012. Along with the feature story, there are audio interviews with the RBC Center's Davin Olsen and Hurricanes Director of Defenseman Development Glen Wesley.
Media Access
Jan. 23, 5:45 p.m.
After a slight delay at the airport – our bags didn't quite make it from the Raleigh-Chicago plane to our Chicago-Montreal plane – our pair of Hurricanes staffers finally arrived in downtown Montreal. Only Hockey Ops specialist Mari Jeter and I are representing the Hurricanes front office at the All-Star Weekend this winter, though Hurricanes CEO/Owner/Governor Peter Karmanos is also here to attend the Board of Governors meeting.
Upon arrival, I went directly to the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where the Eastern Conference All-Stars' media availability was already underway. The Queen Elizabeth has serious significance in the hockey world – it is where the National Hockey League's Entry Draft was held between 1963 and 1979. When I arrived, our own Eric Staal was already busy charming media folks from all over the world. Sharing a table with New Jersey Devils star Zach Parise, Eric fielded questions from media outlets including The Hockey News, E! Canada, CBC Radio, TSN, The Score, ESPN and many others. He also sat down for another live interview on XM Radio, joining XM alongside Boston Bruins netminder Tim Thomas.
After snapping a few fashion-style photos with Getty Images, Eric completed the official access period around 4 p.m., slipping into a waiting room for the Eastern All-Stars where he and Sidney Crosby had an opportunity to discuss their game against each other three days ago. It is always neat to see the greatest players on the planet relate to each other on a personal level, away from the stresses and pressures of the NHL regular-season grind.
The Hurricanes PR guy then made Eric jump on the phone for a few interviews back home in Raleigh – speaking with 99.9 The Fan's Mark Thomas and Scott Jackson, WTVD's Kerith Burke and 850 The Buzz's David Glenn. After that, Eric was finally released to enjoy the bitterly cold Montreal evening with his lovely wife, Tanya.
Jan. 23, 2009
7:55 a.m. RDU Airport
We're sitting in the beautiful new Terminal 2 at RDU Airport, waiting for the first flight of our two-leg journey to Montreal, which will take us through Chicago's O'Hare Airport. This is actually my first time in the new Raleigh terminal, since most of my flights out of here are obviously with the team charter. I definitely think the new terminal does a better job of featuring our local flavor. I especially enjoyed this wall at the Carolina Ale House's Terminal 2 location
The reason I am blogging from the airport isn't neccesarily to comment on the interior decorating of eating establishments here, it's actually to throw in a few media alerts. Most importantly, since it will happen before I get to Montreal, Eric Staal will be on NHL Live today at 12:30 p.m. The live show is broadcasting from the Jamboree, the fan-oriented festival next to the Bell Centre in Montreal this weekend. Eric will be calling in to talk with Bill Clement and Don LaGreca, and you can hear the interview on XM Radio's NHL Home Ice channel or on television on the NHL Network. I should be getting an audio file of the interview later today, which web guru Paul Branecky should be able to post here.
Also, Eric will be calling in to two local Raleigh sports talk shows this afternoon, during the Eastern Conference All-Stars' media access period this afternoon. The media access happens from 2:30-4 at a hotel in Montreal, so I would expect his interviews with 99.9 FM's Insiders and 850 The Buzz's David Glenn will each air during the 3-4 p.m. hour.
Eric actually arrived in Montreal last night, since he has a few obligations this morning in Quebec. When I get to town, I will be dropping my bags and going directly to the hotel where his media access is happening.
Jan. 22, 2009
3:15 p.m. Raleigh
With Eric Staal heading to his third-consecutive All-Star Game, I will be flying to Montreal Friday to make sure everything goes smoothly for the defending All-Star MVP. I'm going to attempt to keep this blog fresh throughout the weekend, with updates on the various events and activities surrounding the weekend, as well as information about the host city and Eric's various appearances and experiences. I likely won't be able to keep things as fresh as Mr. Branecky did last year in Atlanta, since this blog is not my primary or sole responsibility this weekend in La belle province. But I'll do the best I can with blogs and photos sent from my BlackBerry.
It should be a pretty special weekend, centered around the two main events at the Bell Centre – Saturday night's Superskills Competition and Sunday's All-Star Game. Montreal is the host city for both the NHL All-Star Weekend and the NHL Entry Draft this year, as the Canadiens celebrate the 100th Anniversary of their storied and decorated franchise.
Founded in 1909 as part of the National Hockey Association, the Club de Hockey le Canadien first played in the Jubilee Arena, which seated about 2700 fans. The Canadiens captured their first Stanley Cup in 1916, defeating the Portland Rosebuds in the fifth and deciding game of a five-game series, and joined the new National Hockey League when it was formed in 1917. Ninety-two years later, the Habs have 24 Stanley Cup banners and 15 retired sweaters hanging from the rafters of the Bell Centre, the arena they have called home since 1996. According to the Habs' website, 45 former Canadiens players are enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
I never had the chance to step foot inside the historic Montreal Forum, the Canadiens' home from 1926-1996. But I can say that the Bell Centre is my favorite NHL arena, a place where you can count on a simply electric atmosphere every single game of the season. And Montreal is a beautiful city to visit – almost like exploring a European city without the transatlantic flight. (Though, if you have Southern blood you may want to wait until the summer to do so. Sunday's high is expected to be around 3°F, with the low dipping to about -13°F.) Mrs. Guy Behind the Guy, who is currently about 22 weeks into carrying a little Guy Behind the Guy, will be joining me in Montreal, so hopefully we'll be able to carve a little time out of the busy hockey weekend to bundle up and play tourists.
Please feel free to fill out the form below with questions, comments or suggestions throughout the weekend!
A few other resources you may want to check out in conjunction with All-Star Weekend:
- The NHL's Official All-Star Game Page: The league's page is pretty comprehensive this year, keeping fans up to date on breaking news, events and participants. There's a nice history section and plenty of video for fans who can't make it up to Montreal. You can even learn a little hockey-oriented French. Today's French term is "juge de ligne" or "linesman."
- The Montreal Canadiens' History Page: The Habs launched this site to commemorate their 100th Anniversary this season. It's a great place to explore the history of hockey's most storied franchise, broken down by season and including information on every player who ever donned bleu, blanc et rouge.
- Montreal Tourism Site: Includes a pretty cool, two-minute video exploring the city on its opening page.

Romania Set for Further Political Turmoil After Vote
Romania's President Traian Basescu survived a second attempt to oust him in five years as a voter boycott invalidated an impeachment referendum, setting the stage for further battles with Prime Minister Victor Ponta.
Turnout at yesterday's referendum called by Ponta's ruling coalition was 46.2 percent with 99.97 percent of the votes counted, below the minimum threshold of half the electorate, according to the central electoral bureau today. About 87.5 percent of those who participated voted to oust Basescu. Final figures will probably be released on Aug. 1, the bureau said.
Ponta's government, the Balkan nation's third this year, took power in May riding a Europe-wide backlash against austerity measures. The referendum, which must be endorsed by the Constitutional Court, will probably intensify wrangling that pushed the leu to a record low against the euro, boosted borrowing costs and delayed a review of a bailout loan, according to Commerzbank AG's Thu Lan Nguyen.
"It will probably become clear very quickly that the political leadership of the country will remain divided so that further conflicts would be unavoidable," Nguyen, a currency strategist, in Frankfurt, said before the vote. The leu may get "a very short-term" boost from the result, she said.
Weaker Leu
The leu, the world's second worst-performing currency against the euro in the past month after the Sudanese pound, rebounded from a record low last week. It rose as much as 1 percent today to 4.5540 per euro and was trading at 4.5580 at 2:40 p.m. in Bucharest.
Ponta has said repeatedly any collaboration with a reinstated Basescu would be impossible and questioned his authority after the "massive vote" against him. "We have nothing more to discuss with a man rejected by the citizens," Ponta told reporters today.
He also said in an interview for due to be broadcast on private television station Realitatea TV later today that Basescu must retire from his position as a dialogue between the two leaders is "out of the question."
"A majority of the votes were in favor of removing the president, who has become very unpopular because of him backing the austerity measures" and Ponta "the new prime minister and tough political opponent of President Basescu has been the driving force behind the impeachment proceedings," Raiffeisen Bank International AG analysts wrote in a note to clients today. "We assume, however, that the political wrangling will continue, which could weigh on the currency."
'Coup' Averted
The government's efforts to ease impeachment rules and diminish the Constitutional Court's powers have drawn criticism from European Union leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who voiced concern that democracy is backsliding in the former communist country.
"Romanians rejected a coup d'etat," Basescu told reporters yesterday. "The flame of democracy is still burning."
The plebiscite was called by Ponta's ruling coalition, which wanted to remove Basescu for overstepping his duties in announcing austerity measures. Basescu, who said "jailable politicians" were trying to orchestrate his ouster, urged citizens to boycott the vote to ensure turnout was below 50 percent of the country's 18.3 million eligible voters.
Basescu will return to office immediately after he was suspended for a month to allow the vote to take place. Parliamentary elections are expected to take place in the fourth quarter.
"Should President Basescu stay on, the cohabitation with Premier Ponta would no doubt be very difficult, not least due to personal animosity between the two," Pasquale Diana, an economist at Morgan Stanley in London, said in a July 27 report. "And beyond the near term, Basescu could also help to facilitate a surprise outcome at the next election."

Extra Point:
Veteran cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha offered Anthony Dixon a hefty sum of money to take over as No. 24 on the 49ers.
That's a good amount of bread for a #. I'm surprised that anyone can turn down that amount of money for changing a number... then again, Dixon has had lots of luck with the Niners and his number... maybe he isn't crazy.

Ryan Tax Returns: Paid 'Whopping' 15 to 20 Percent
The veep pick releases as promised exactly two years of returns, for 2009 and 2010, showing that he and wealthy wife paid just 15.9% rate one year and 20% another. "The couple filed an amended return in 2011, because their original return understated their income by $61,122 — a mistake they attributed to accidentally omitting income from the trust."

Smog in Singapore
A man jogs along the deserted Marina Promenade as the skyline of Singapore's central business district in the background is covered in haze, June 21, 2013. The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hit 401 at local time 12pm (0400 GMT) on Friday, according to Singapore's National Environment Agency. Haze from fires in Indonesia blanketing Singapore could persist for weeks or longer, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Thursday, as the smoke drove air quality to "hazardous" levels and disrupted business and travel in the region.

Post subject: breast vs bottle ur thoughts
i bottle fed my son and tried to breast feed my daughter she ended up on bottle.
now i think which ever is the best for u is the best thing to do.
i was under so much pressure to breast feed even tho it wud make me cry and i had no support at all.
theres also a good point of the amount of ppl who smoke and drink and breast feed that cant be better than bottle formulea.also all these women that use lots of chemicals and products on themselves they all get absorbed into the body and build up.
my sister breast fed 2 of hers and they have low immune systems mine are very rarely ill.
i think its fine to bottle feed if thats what ur comfy with i genuinly dont like the pressure health professionals are putting on mums to do something they may not want to do.
what do u think?
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2007 6:34 pm
Post subject: damned if you do.....
im breast AND bottle feeding my 7 week old baby and i found that i`m under so much pressure to completely breast feed. my baby wasn`t latching on properly, and the midwife just said its because i`m using bottles and said to cut them out.easier said than done, considering he screamed all night long. he`s a hungry baby and my breast milk just doesn`t do it for him. in the end, at5 in the morning, i caved i and gave him a bottle. its all good and well that health proffessionals say give no bottles breast feed often, etc etc but if baby wants bottle then thats what he shal have.
another thing that bugs me is that even with al the pressure to breast feed, if i breast feed, i get tuts and tsks from other (non child) people. it seems to me.... your damned if you do, damned if you don`t.

there we go. i think the media would have everyone believe that if we didnt breastfeed our babies will be less able to manage things, less intelligent etc. did anyone read that disgusting article in the daily mail i think where breast fed babies are found to be more intelligent?! where do they dig this up from?? talk about propaganda on a new level

Post subject:
completey agree with all of you. I had my first 2 years ago and it is only looking back I realise how much brainwashing goes on. I remember trying to be fairly open minded and deciding that I'd give it a go before the event but on reflection I can only remember being told about all the really good things about breast with no mention about the benefits of bottle - of which i consider many. similarly, about pain relief options in childbirth - on reflection I think there was a deliberate steer to NOT choose epidural. again, a massive pressure to have a NATURAL birth. If you break your leg (which incidentally could be considered less painful!!) there's not many people that would refuse pain relief or feel they were letting themselves down if they did go for it. don't know what you think?!
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 9:21 pm
Post subject:
yeh they do try to limit ur pain relief to gas and air and try to stay away from epidurals bcuz of how much they cost to the hospital and oher complications.
see now i have a genuine problem with labour all mine ive assciotated the pain with the baby and its not help post natal depression i had.so this time i dont want to feel anything as i dont want to feel the same with this baby as i did with my other 2.
also i dont want to be shoved out the hospital within hours like my first one becuase i just didnt cope i need sometime to adjust and to deal with my feelings and things and i dont think thats considered in hospitals now they jst want u in and out to hell with u really

ha! id like to see them try and deny me. one thing ive always said is "if i cant have a c-section then im having an epidural!"
talk about presurring mums into doing what they want. if it isnt proper support for mum on bottle/breast feeding then its pain relief.

Post subject: Breast V Bottle
I think it really depends on what suits the mum really. If the mum is uncomfortable and not happy breastfeeding the the baby will sense this and not be happy either.
Im pregnant with my first baby and going through thoughts on whether to breast feed or bottle feed. Is it possible to bottle feed but breast feed maybe before putting them to bed at night?
Which option is also better to keep your breast shape to the shape they were before you got pregnant?
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:57 pm
Post subject:
there is no way that i could ever breastfeed. the thought does not appeal to me what so ever. i know the benefits of breastmilk - and as a student midiwfe aim to promote it, but i did not een try to breastfeed my 1st and will not try to breastfeed my second or third.
i cant describe it but theres just no way i could let a baby feed off me.
i fed my son on cow and gate and he is never ill. ever. yet myaunties hildren were breastfed and they always have sickness bugs and colds - and their 12 and 8!
ive seen some women in absolute agony trying and trying to feed and i think its so sad. there is alt of pressure to breastfeed and i think its not right. maternity care is supposed to be about a womas wants and choice and that includes feeding.
it was 5 years ago since my son was born, but when i was in hospital the midwives moaned if i wanted to heat a bottle, and wheni left to go home, they didnt even tell me how to make up the bottles - thank god i had my mum

i tried to breast feed my daughter when she was born because of the pressure from the midwives but i didnt carry on with it as i didnt like it. i dont have any intentions of breast feeding this one but i do remain open minded... my daughter is a happy healthy 11 yr old and i think as long s mum is happy, baby will be happy.

with my first daughter i tried to breastfeed but she wouldnt latch on but during the time in hospital a midwife was around every hour to see if i was ok! with my second i said i wanted to bottle feed and from the time i went on the ward (1am) til 10am in the morning NO ONE checked on me. I had to ask if i could feed my baby and where the milk was!! plus ask if i could have a bath!! they just didnt care. the other woman on my ward who were breastfeeding had visits through the night as i heard them.
i definately think there is far too much pressure on breastfeeding!

Post subject: Breast V Bottle
Couldn't agree more! I think whatever is best for you is going to be best for Baby. If you're stressed and tired all the time your milk isn't going to satisfy your baby (this happened with my sister-in-law). Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway? As long as you're happy and baby too that's all that matters.
As far as bottle-milk limiting intelligence I say RUBBISH! I was bottle-fed and I have an IQ of 154. Not that that means anything but I believe intelligence is more likely to be a genetic trait. And intelligence doesn't mean your child will be happy, I was bullied mercilessly because I was clever, so it hasn't done much for me! When my baby is born I'll do what I think is best for her/him (and for me) and as long as she/he is happy and healthy I don't care what anyone says. All the best! xx

Post subject: Bottle for me !
I am 35 weeks pregnant with my first. Before finding out i was pregnant, i was suffering from depression and severe anxiety attacks. I have decided early on not to breast feed after doing research on the pros and cons of both bottle and breat feeding. I have decided that i do not want to put any added physical or emotional pressure on myself to do something for which the baby to totally reliant on me for. There is far too much pressure on new mums to breastfeed - my midwife asked me my intentions at 8WEEKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd only some to terms with the fact that i was pregnant ! I have put in writting in my birth plan that the baby is being bottlefed, that it is a personal decision and i do not want anyone trying to encourage me to breastfeed after i have given birth or to question my decision. WHAT IS BEST FOR BABY IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT IS RIGHT FOR MUM. We are being told to go with our instincts and my instincts are telling me that this is the right choice for ME. There is far to much pressure on new mums.

BRENTWOOD — City leaders sliced $2.5 million more from this year's budget on Tuesday, and although many residents won't notice the difference the action will cost some teens their fun.
In reluctantly agreeing to further reduce general fund expenses, the City Council eliminated financial support for an after-school recreation program that the Police Activities League has provided.
The nonprofit organizes a wide variety of sports activities and other events with the goal of keeping young people out of trouble as well as helping them forge positive relationships with law enforcement.
One of those is "After the Bell," a service that PAL no longer can afford to help the city fund. But with a freeze on three positions in its parks and recreation department, the city doesn't have the money or manpower to assume more of the cost of running this particular outreach.
"We are a little disappointed," said PAL board member Greg Robinson, who wondered whether juvenile crime now might increase during that period after school when some at-risk adolescents lack adult supervision.
The City Council's decision also affects the hundreds of youth and adults who sign up for sports and one-time events that the parks and recreation department has provided until now.
Two of its vacant positions represent a savings of nearly $203,000 in salary and benefits, but there aren't enough employees left to continue running activities such as flag football, basketball, and youth golf. City officials hope that service clubs or similar groups will step in to take over the task.
Councilman Brandon Richey questioned why the city would pay $176,000 a year to keep Brentwood's county-run library open 56 hours a week.
"That money could be used for the parks and recreation programs we're looking at eliminating," he said, noting that it's the county's responsibility to fund the branch.
"I can't see the county stepping up to the plate," responded Mayor Bob Taylor.
Councilman Chris Becnel acknowledged Richey's frustration, but said that eliminating the subsidy would force the library to scale back its hours to 29 per week.
That would create a hardship for commuters who can't get to the library during the day as well as for those who can't afford to buy books, said Becnel and Councilman Bob Brockman.
In the end the City Council voted 4-to-1 to revise the budget, with Richey dissenting.
The reduction in general fund expenses marks the second time that the City Council has pared Brentwood's budget in response to declining property tax revenue as well as income from fees related to home construction such as building permits, plan checks and inspections.
The city typically updates its spending plan every year in January, but the changes this time around are larger than usual, said Business Services Manager Kerry Breen.
Although Brentwood's budget includes a number of smaller funds earmarked for specific uses, the general fund pays for most of the city's expenses, including police services, street maintenance and the salaries and benefits of most employees.
In June, councilmembers whacked $9.2 million from both the 2007-08 budget and the current spending plan.
The move cost 11 full-time employees their jobs, the layoffs widely believed to be the first since Brentwood became a city 60 years ago.
Far more significant than the job losses, however, were the savings the city realized through attrition and not filling positions that were already vacant, he said.
Personnel expenses accounted for $4 million of the $9.2 million in cuts.
The city also is relying on attrition and freezing most open positions to achieve Tuesday's budget reductions, although Breen said there won't be any layoffs this time.
Although Brentwood's Police Department remains unaffected, the city in recent months has become even more cautious about hiring for other departments and now isn't filling openings until it's absolutely necessary, he said.
The reductions aren't simply a matter of updating a ledger sheet, however; the penny-pinching is changing the way the city does business.
It has canceled contracts with some companies, some of which provided services such as checking developers' building plans that the city no longer needs with the slowdown of construction, Breen said.
Employees now are using black-and-white printers to copy draft documents or those for internal use instead of running off far more costly color duplicates, he added.
The holiday party the city usually holds for all departments was canceled this year, and most employees no longer can expect it to pick up the tab for optional off-site training and related travel expenses.

She's 92, acts like 72 and still drives. And rips into the garage if they try to overcharge her.
She's worked for charities all her life, still does patchwork for sale at various hospices and can tell you about the impact of the War of the Roses on the current British political scene.
Took her out for afternoon coffee at her favourite (French) café in Milford the other day.
"There are 5 good ones in Milford" she says. "I've bonus cards from all of them"

O.P. Brewer, of Oakville, was down the first of the week, interviewing the commissioners relative to assistance in building a bridge over the Chehalis near Oakville. The river is dangerous to cross most of the time during the rainy season, and this past winter several people have lost their lives. The commissioners could not grant the petition as there is no money that could be used for this purpose.

Digs Hole Through Concrete Jail Wall and Cuts Bars
With a set of crude tools made from small nails, a piece of heavy wire, an iron handle from a jail bunk, a file and the leg of a chair as a hammer, A. McCowan, a prisoner in the county jail on a charge of forgery, dug through the supposedly solid concrete wall of the county jail and, cutting a heavy iron bar, made good his escape Wednesday night of last week. The hole through which he crawled gave egress upon the inner court of the jail, upon an iron balcony, from which McCowan climbed on to the partition running lengthwise through the court yard, and thence to the north wall of the jail, and by means of a rope made from blankets from his cot, lowered himself to the ground. The work was very carefully done and must have occupied some little time, evidently having been commenced soon after he was lodged in his cell, where he had been for a few days. The hole was dug in the wall at the edge of the window in his cell and the bar was cut through and then broken off, leaving a hole but little more than a square foot. The prisoner weighs about 180 pounds and must have experience considerable difficulty in squeezing through the opening.
The cell in which McCowan was lodged was on the upper floor of the jail at the north end of the corridor, the man being isolated from all other prisoners in the building. The noise of the men at work on the garage being erected at the north end of the jail would have drowned all the noise made by McCowan in digging out the concrete, and as the night he escaped was stormy, he ran very little risk of detection. The county bloodhounds are kept in the courtyard just below where the prisoner climbed over the wall, but evidently did not hear the man for they made no noticeable demonstration.
The sheriff and deputies at once took up the search for the escaped prisoner, when his absence was discovered early Thursday morning, but no trace has been found that has been made public.

Nearly 70 workers in this area were laid off when three WPA projects were suspended in district No. 1.
The projects are the west Wynooche Road, Black Creek Road and Winkelman Road. All the men affected are residents of Montesano and vicinity, it was stated.
"The suspension of these projects follows the curtailment program directed by Congress," said F.R. Boedecker of the WPA headquarters in Hoquiam. "We have closed projects which were of least importance at this time."
Boedecker held out no hope that the men affected will be absorbed by other projects, as he said that Congress, in ordering curtailment, specified that men in closed programs could not be transferred to others.
No other eastern Gray Harbor WPA projects were affected by the curtailment.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI delivered his first Sunday noon blessing and launched appeals for peace, for the defense of workers' rights and for unity between Catholic and Orthodox Christians.
"I address you for the first time from this window, which my beloved predecessor rendered so familiar to innumerable people around the world," Pope Benedict said May 1.
A crowd of nearly 100,000 gathered in the square to see the new pontiff and started to applaud even before he appeared at the window of the Apostolic Palace. The first wave of applause started as soon as his aides unfurled the red and gold cloth that hangs from the window whenever the pope speaks.
Following in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict used his Sunday noon appearance to express concerns over current world events and to launch an appeal.
"In these days I find myself thinking often of all peoples who suffer because of war, illness and poverty," the German pope said. "In particular, today, I am close to the dear populations of Togo, ravaged by painful internal conflicts. For all these nations I implore the gift of harmony and peace."
In Togo, political violence has claimed more than 20 lives since disputed national elections April 24. The clashes have sent thousands of people fleeing their homes, according to U.N. authorities. On April 29 masked gunmen torched the German cultural Goethe Institute in Lome. Togo was under German dominion for a period ending with Germany's defeat in World War I.
The crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square included thousands of representatives of Italy's major labor unions who were in Rome to mark May Day labor celebrations and the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker, all workers' patron saint.
Speaking to the crowd, which included thousands of members of Italy's Association of Christian Workers, Pope Benedict said believers must promote "Christian fraternity ... in the workplace and in social life so that solidarity, justice and peace may be pillars on which to build the unity of the Christian family."
Pope Benedict recalled that Pope Pius XII had created the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker in order "to stress the importance of work and of the presence of Christ and the Church in the labor world."
"It is necessary to pay witness also in today's society to the 'Gospel of work,' which John Paul II spoke of in his encyclical 'Laborem Exercens,'" Pope Benedict said.
"I hope that work will not be lacking, especially for young people, and that working conditions will respect always the dignity of the human person," the pope said.
May 1 was also Orthodox Easter this year. Pope Benedict's first words on Sunday after remembering Pope John Paul were for Orthodox Christians.
"I would like to greet with special affection the Orthodox Churches and the Oriental Orthodox Churches which this very Sunday celebrate the resurrection of Christ," the pope said.
"To these dear brothers, I address the traditional announcement of joy, 'Christos Anesti,'" he said, using the Greek words for "Christ is risen."
"Yes, Christ is risen, he is truly risen," Pope Benedict said. "I wish from my heart that the celebration of Easter will be for them a choral prayer of faith and praise for him who is our common lord and who calls us to move with decisiveness on the road toward full communion."
Christian unity has emerged as a priority in Pope Benedict's homilies and discourses since his election April 19.
Pope Benedict moved into the papal apartments April 30. His first Angelus message came exactly four weeks after Pope John Paul last appeared at the same window and blessed the crowd but was unable to speak.

In critical care medicine, it is unlikely that any single study has had the influence to match that of the study by van den Berghe et al1 of intensive insulin therapy in surgical intensive care patients. Published in 2001, the study reported that targeting normoglycemia in ventilated patients in a surgical intensive care unit (ICU) reduced the risk of in-hospital death by one-third. Although the size of the treatment effect seemed improbable, the underlying concept had face validity as improved glycemic control had been proven beneficial in other patients with severe acute illness.2 As a result, tight glycemic control in critically ill adults is now recommended by numerous organizations including the American Diabetes Association3 and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.4 In this issue of JAMA, Wiener and colleagues5 report a meta-analysis of studies examining tight glycemic control in critically ill adults; their conclusions, that tight glycemic control does not significantly reduce in-hospital mortality, may surprise many clinicians.
