What is up State of Hockey legion? Is it 9:30 yet? I refuse to speak for you, but I've been up since 3:30 in the a.m. because I've been bouncing off the walls in anticipation of tonight's big game between the San Jose Sharks, and your Minnesota Wild. It might be late, but I've got so much adrenaline coursing through my body, that it might as well be mid afternoon. I just wish all the neighborhood dogs weren't outside my Como Park palace barking their heads off because they can sniff out the adrenaline and their back hair is sticking straight up.
This will be the last time I'll have to deal with that racket for awhile because I'll be with the team for the next three road games.
In case you didn't know, tonight's game is a battle for sole possession of eighth place in the Western Conference. That's right, y'all. Eighth. The loser of tonight's battle will remain on the outside of the playoff picture. Spoiler alert: The team on the outside will be the team that wears teal jerseys. Does it get any bigger than this? Well, yes. Tuesday's game in Chicago will be just as big, but let's stay in the here and now, because that's key when trying to extend a win streak.
It's also key to playing goaltender. If you're an NHL goaltender, you have to erase the memory of the past, and think about the next save. As the Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan would say, "live in the moment." Nobody does that better than my "dawg," Nik Backstrom. He just happens to be the starting goaltender tonight, and he just happens to be the guy that posted yet another shutout a couple nights ago in Edmonton. I'm not trying to jinx anything, but I see no reason as to why it can't happen again. After all, he's already skunked the Sharkies once this year.
Backstrom will be backed up by Jose Theodore who has returned to the bench after some hip issues. John Madden has also been dealing with a lower body injury, but he's ready to go for this one. Guillaume Latendresse (abdominal), Marco Scandella (concussion) and Marek Zidlicky (shoulder) are all out of the lineup with injuries.
For you fashionistas out there, I can tell you the Wild will wear the road whites for the third straight game, although I've got to think there might be some yellowish stains forming in the under arm area. The Sharks are sporting the home teals trimmed in white and black with the stick-chomping fish on the chest.
It's about time to do this. Eighth place. It will be ours. Oh yes. It will be ours.
Period 1
18:14 - The first scoring chance of the game goes to San Jose's Devin Setoguchi. He is hit with a home run pass and goes in one-on-one with Nick Schultz. The Wild's all-time games played leader does a nice job to force him to the outside and his backhand is fired off the side of the cage.
13:34 - The Sharks are on their first power play of the evening and they nearly cash in right off the word "go." The puck is worked back to former Miami University Redhawk Dan Boyle who crunches a slap shot off the post.
11:32 - What is with Antti Niemi sticking his left arm straight out every time a Wild player skates anywhere near his crease? This is the second time I've seen it tonight as Andrew Brunette goes by him, but the play is up ice and he's in no way coming close to Niemi. Relax Antti. If Bruno wants to get his rear in your crease, you'll know it.
10:45 - My word, what a save! A shot by former Boston College Eagle Benn Ferreiro is blocked in the slot, but the puck richochets to the side where Niclas Wallin rips a slapper at a seemingly empty net. At the last instant, Backstrom lunges headfirst and makes a scintillating save. Unbelievable. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing a replay of it.
9:20 - Jumbo Joe Thornton dances into the Wild zone, and he shows his passing prowess by dropping one back for Marc-Edouard Vlasic who is wide open. He steps into a shot from 10 feet out, but Backstrom again comes up huge with a toe save. Bacy's been teh story so far.
8:27 - MIN 0 - SJ 1 - The Sharks finally solve him and it comes off the stick of Rookie of the Year frontrunner, Logan Couture. He races up the right side and unleashes a wicked wrist shot that clanks off the near post and in. That's his 22nd on the year, which leads all NHL rookies.
6:51 - Big opportunity for the Wild here. Already on the power play, they'll go on a two-man advantage for 1:13 after Couture gets caught leaving the bench too early on a change. That kid just isn't a smart hockey player. The Sharks should bench him for the rest of the night. Maybe even look at traing him? I don't know. I'm not a GM, but that's what I would do.
6:41 - MIN 1 - SJ 1 - Jackpot! When the penalty on Couture was called, Todd Richards used his timeout, and it worked wonders. Just 10 seconds into the two-man advantage, the power play cashes in. At the top of the zone, Brent Burns and Mikko Koivu play catch with the puck until Koivu decides to unleash a one-timer that zips past Niemi on the blocker side. That's how you take advantage on a five-on-three.
3:21 - Jared Spurgeon is a killer! After Setoguchi completely interferes with Backstrom in the crease (which goes uncalled), Spurgeon takes down the much bigger forward with a forceful shove (which also goes uncalled). And this just in, your Houston Aeros are now in first place after a 2-1 win over Lake Erie tonight. Robbie Earl and Warren Peters with the Houston tallies.
2:01 - After Martin Havlat fires a shot from the right side, he has his stick knocked out of his hands and it very nearly ends up in the netting above the glass.
0:00 - An action-filled first period comes to an end. You've got to be happy you decided to hang out in front of your computer tonight, am I right?
Period 2
18:47 - Cal Clutterbuck is down on the ice for a bit and slow to make his way to the bench after taking a stick in the teeth from Setoguchi. That also does not get called. Setoguchi must do a lot of helping old ladies cross the street because he's getting some free passes tonight.
17:59 - Backstrom is out of his mind tonight. He has already made two saves he had no business making, and this is the third. Couture makes a pinpoint pass across the slot to former Wisconsin Badger Joe Pavelski who is streaking in all alone. Backstrom reads it perfectly and slides across in the butterfly to stuff him cold with an arm save.
16:04 - MIN 1 - SJ 2 - Again, Backstrom makes a ridiculous save, but there's nothing he can do about the rebound. Patrick Marleau sends a fluttering pass to the front where Setoguchi redirects it right in front, and Backy somehow stops that. But the puck bounces right back to the stick of Setoguchi, and this time he puts it in. What more can the Wild keeper do? He has been stellar tonight, and yet he's given up two.
13:24 - MIN 1 - SJ 3 - Help us out Toronto. It's going to come down to video review as it looks like the Sharks convert on another power play. Pavelski fires a high-rising slap shot toward the goal, and Setoguchi, who has been all over the dang place, lifts his stick up high and deflects it in. Backstrom immediately says it was a highstick, and it is very, very close. The review comes back and although the ref doesn't have his microphone turned on, his gesture toward center ice leaves no doubt that the goal will stand. The Wild needs a drastic momentum shift as the Sharks have completely taken over this period.
12:33 - MIN 2 - SJ 3 - Koivu and Burns have been workin' it like Richard Simmons on the power play tonight. Once again, they find each other with the man advantage. This time, Burns pulls up along the sideboards and then dishes to Koivu cutting through the right circle. The Wild captain lets a high backhand go and it seems to surprise Niemi, who lets it squeeze through. That is a cold bottle of water on a stroll through the desert as the Wild really needed it.
7:07 - I'm running out of superlatives for the types of saves Backstrom is making tonight. Again, he makes a remarkable (have I used that yet?) stop on a point blank chance by former Wisconsin Badger Dany Heatley. Backy gets a pad on that, and then he reaches back with his arm to deny Setoguchi trying to stuff the rebound in at the side of the net. My words aren't doing this goaltender performance justice. I need some video evidence to back up my claims.
4:08 - The Wild power play (and Backstrom) is the reason the Wild is just one goal back, and the unit nearly comes through again. Matt Cullen cranks a shot right on, and Niemi stops that. For a brief moment, the puck sits in front, and Andrew Brunette tries to bang it in. He takes a few shoves from Vlasic for his efforts, but order is quickly restored. You don't see too many guys go after Brunette for long. His reputation as a class act precedes him.
Period 3
18:20 - Word from PR guru Ryan Stanzel on location at HP Pavilion is that Nick Schultz suffered an upper body injury and will not return tonight.
16:03 - MIN 2 - SJ 4 - There just aren't many playmakers out there like Thornton. He makes passes look so easy, as he does here. From the high slot, he doesn't even look in the direction of the net where Ferreiro is camped out at the side. Big Joe zips a backhand pass to him and when Backstrom slides over to his right, Ferreiro cuts to the front and stuffs the puck in.
13:51 - The Kyle Brodziak line hasn't made much noise tonight, but the trio nearly connects here. After Clutterbuck absorbs a big hit in the slot, the puck comes to Brodziak who gets it down low to Havlat, but Niemi goes down into the splits and makes a big stop with the right leg pillow.
10:59 - Four goals aside, Backstrom continues to amaze. He throws out the left leg to stop a one-time missile off the stick of Ben Eager from the slot. Eager has a chance at the rebound but he fans a bit, and Backstrom is able to lunge on top of it for the whistle.
10:41 - I don't have a rulebook handy, but are punches to the back of the head acceptable now? After a Burns rush results in a Niemi save and cover, Havlat is battling one Shark, while Jason Demers deems it necessary to punch Havlat in the back of the head about five feet in front of the ref. The ref's response? He motions to Demers to "calm down." Atta way zebras. That's how you prevent senseless injuries. Tell the guys to "calm down." I'm sure Demers learned his lesson from that punishment.
3:25 - MIN 3 - SJ 4 - You can hear the screams of Burns and Clutterbuck all the way back here in Minny. From a bad angle, Clutter just throws a low shot on goal, and Niemi butchers it by kicking the rebound way out. Burns is on the prowl and he swoops down low and roofs the rebound over Niemi. We've got a game here folks!
0:40.2 - Backstrom is off for the extra attacker.
0:29.2 - Koivu just misses with a wrist shot from the slot.
0:00 - The horn sounds and now the ugliness ensues. Brunette reacts to an earlier hit be drilling former Cornell Big Red Douglas Murray into the glass from behind. Murray responds with a punch to the back of Brunette's head and then everyone gets into the San Jose corner. Nothing too crazy happens, but Brunette is barking at Murray, and that's something you don't see often. That's it for tonight. Catch you from Chicago on Tuesday.

Belmont Club » Why Can't We See?
Recently, Caroline Glick talked about the disappearance of American will. The actual problem may be slightly different. The more precise statement is the disappearance of the public's ability to see the truth. America's PC elite is rewriting history at a dazzling pace. "Days before the National September 11 Memorial Museum opens in New York, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is stepping up its campaign to urge organizers to edit a video presentation on al-Qaeda, to remove terms such as 'Islamist extremism' and 'jihadism.'"
Why, generations hence will think September 11 was committed by Jews. After all, who would have guessed Boko Haram had kidnapped Christian girls unless they read it on the Belmont Club or had not the group itself told the public so?
If the Jarrett/Obama regime were actively working for America's enemies to assure America's downfall, what, exactly, would it be doing differently?
Check out my new bestseller, Lightning Fall: A Novel of Disaster. Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit.com says: "Bill Quick has authored a terrific thriller that is also an all too plausible warning. Highly recommended!" Available in Kindle e-book or trade paperback formats.

Jamaica gets the nod to train aviation professionals
Janet Silvera, Senior Gleaner Writer
JAMAICA HAS been given the green light to train aviation professionals for the global markets, which will need 350,000 pilots and 480,000 mechanics by 2026.
The country officially received its 'Trainair Plus' full membership from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) during a joint Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCCA) regional symposium at the Hilton Rose Hall, Montego Bay, on Monday.
The ICAO is a United Nations specialised agency and the only global aviation standards setting body in the world.
The accreditation comes as aviation faces a number of critical challenges, including "a brain drain because of retirement of skilled workers and an increase of the global fleet", said JCCA's director general, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Derby.
Derby bolstered comments made by ICAO's regional director, Loretta Martin, who outlined several key challenges that must be addressed by the aviation industry locally, regionally and globally over the next few decades.
Martin argued that Latin America and the Caribbean were below their training capacity.
"Consequently, to remain sustainable, training institutions of this region must think internationally and globally, rather than nationally, otherwise they will not have enough trainees to remain in operation."
Martin's observations have been welcomed by the JCCA, whose head, Derby, said the local organisation now has access to all the standard training packages in a wide range of aviation courses.
In addition to the training of Air Traffic Controllers, which the JCCA has been doing since 1991, with Trainair Plus they are now equipped to train aviation professional in areas such as English language proficiency, flight dispatch, pilots up to a certain level, airfield maintenance, technicians and telecommunication specialists.
"With the global training capacity increasing to 350,000 pilots and 480,000 mechanics by 2026, there lies the opportunity to participate in delivery training to that group," said Derby.
Officially opened
Underlining the importance of the JCCA's role in the area of training, Minister of Transport and Works Dr Omar Davies, who officially opened the symposium, announced that Jamaica was seeking to expand its Air Traffic Controller training programme to the Caribbean and the rest of the world.
Of note is the fact that International Aviation Authority forecasts that the 2.9 billion airlines passengers carried in 2012 will grow to over six billion by 2030, and that the 30 million flights they flew on will reach 60 million annually over the same period.
This is even more evidence that there is need for training facilities to accommodate those who will work in the industry.
Some 200 delegates, representing 26 countries, were in attendance at the symposium.

Lady of the Island
Andrea Brachfeld
Zoho Music
Sometimes our familiarity with a musician revolves around one genre, but that association often limits our conception of the musician's fuller artistry. On one hand, a listener can't really be blamed for connecting a musician with a style; they're simply making their judgement based off the past performances from albums and live shows. In reality though, the albums or performances that any one listeners experiences are only small snapshots of a musician's greater personality. While a musician may choose to record primarily in one style of music, they usually have spent time in other genres throughout their careers. In addition, they spend time practicing, listening, and doing other gigs between each recording or performance, resulting in broad musical pieces coming together into their visible personality. This is especially true when dealing with Latin Jazz, a style that is built upon the combination of two genres; in most cases, Latin Jazz musicians already have experience in both jazz and Latin styles. When we do get to see a musician step outside a style where they've developed themselves, it's always an interesting perspective that can be both enlightening and exciting. Flautist Andrea Brachfeld lets us take a look at another side of her musicianship on Lady of the Island, as she steps outside the comfort zone of Latin Jazz into the realm of hard bop.
A Connection To Hard Bop Through Original Compositions
Brachfeld and her group make a defined entry into the hard bop arena with several originals that display their connection to the style. Pianist Bill O'Connell riffs over an understated groove on the introduction to "Bebop Hanna," leading a bluesy melody shared between Brachfeld and trombonist Wycliffe Gordon. Bouncing between a melodic fluidity and fits of angular rhythmic emphasis, Brachfeld crafts a witty solo that organically explores the inner and outer edges of the chord changes. Gordon playfully travels through the full range of his instrument with a collection of memorable melodic phrases, leading into a smartly constructed solo from O'Connell full of running melodic lines and long syncopated figures. An open minor mood immediately emanates from "Little Girl's Song," giving way to an introspective melody from Brachfeld. Bassist Andy Eulau tears through the waltz feel with a sense of melodic ingenuity until O'Connell steps into the spotlight with an improvisation that captures the spirit of the song with a firm command over the harmonic basis and a strong sense of thematic development. With the band charging into high gear, Brachfeld flies into a finely crafted solo that builds off of the open harmonic basis and the passionate response of the band, and after a return to the melody, she vamps over a bouncing improvisation from drummer Kim Plainfield. A ferocious riffs send Brachfeld and trumpet player Wallace Roney roaring into a driving melody over an uptempo swing feel on O'Connell's "Dead Ahead." Roney aggressively attacks the chord changes, breathing fire into a solo full of dexterity, musical knowledge, and a high level of technical skill. Brachfeld play off Roney's final riff, stepping into her own stream of hard bop infused virtuosity, until O'Connell tears into an assertive solo keeping his insightful handle on melodic creation at the breakneck speed. There's plenty of investment in jazz in both the performances and composition on these tracks, reveling a group of musicians with the experience and knowledge to walk confidently in this world.
Building Upon Tradition With Unique Arrangements
The group explores several standards that connect to swing and hard bop, putting personal spins on the music with unique arrangements. Brachfeld riffs over an Afro-Cuban 6/8 groove on Herbie Hancock's "Eye Of The Hurricane" before she falls into the main melody with Gordon and alto saxophonist Todd Bashore. Drawing upon her experience in Latin music, Brachfeld tears into her solo's rhythmic element before the band files into an uptempo swing while the flautist cuts loose with an inspired improvisational vigor. Gordon displays a great ability to explore all facets of a melody on his improvisation before Roney digs into a virtuosic solo with an unstoppable hard bop fire. O'Connell provides a beautifully crafted solo introduction on Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad," laying the foundation for Brachfeld's sensitive melodic interpretation. The lush and breathy sound of Brachfeld's alto compliments the intimate duet setting beautifully, bringing a deep, rich sonority into play that reveals a different and attention grabbing side to her musicianship. O'Connell keeps an open ear throughout the track, balancing roles as an accompanist, soloist, and interactive commentator with a graceful finesse and unerring strength that allows Brachfeld to flourish. A powerful Cuban vamp opens Freddie Hubbard's "Birdlike" with a bang before the rhythm section pushes four horn line-up of Brachfeld, Gordon, Bashore, and trumpet player Yasek Manzano into a driving swing feel for the melody. A stop break introduces Brachfeld's solo, a strong statement that she fills with persistent bop lines, abrupt rhythmic ideas, and melodic invention. Gordon once again shows a distinct ability to bring an idea to fruition through repetition, development, and rhythmic intensity, while Bashore slides through the changes with a cutting tone and an ability to capture unique colors around the chords. These tracks show a connection to the tradition while making a distinct statement about their own backgrounds and individuality.
Keeping A Connection To Latin Music
Latin music certainly plays a strong role in Brachfeld's musical personality, and she indulges that piece of herself on two tracks. The rhythm section establishes a graceful bossa nova foundation on Graham Nash's "Lady Of The Island," which serve as a gentle launching point for intwining melodic lines from Brachfeld's alto flute and Manzano's flugelhorn. Both wind players make reflective statements that play off the smooth background of the rhythm section and the colorful nature of the arrangement. The dynamic gradually grows in texture and momentum as Plainfield adds a bit of funk to the feel the song opens into a conversational exchange between Brachfeld and Manzano. Plainfield and conguero Chembo Corniel charge into a blazing rumba feel on "Four Corners" opening the way for a powerful rhythmic melody from Brachfeld and Manzano. As the rhythm section powers forward, Manzano adds into a bit of hard bop fire into his improvisation, until O'Connell brings the band's dynamic down only to drive them back into a frenzy with an aggressive solo. Brachfeld engages Corniel and Plainfeld in an unaccompanied rhythmic exchange that soars into a commanding solo that displays her connection to the style. These tracks leave no doubt that Brachfeld can walk through both Latin and jazz worlds with confidence and skill.
A Strong Statement Built Upon Solid Musicianship
Lady of the Island is certainly a different album than we've heard from Brachfeld in the past, but her solid musicianship makes this hard bop recording a strong statement. The flautist swings with the same ferocity that she approaches clave, and her performance as both a player and composer reveal an easy comfort in both worlds. Brachfeld never leaves her connection to Latin music behind, it appears in arrangements and on a couple of tunes. The passion and dedication that she applies to hard bop shines consistently though, showing her committed connection to the music. Throughout the album, she really grabs the hard bop esthetic in her improvisations, outlining chords with a fluid skill, and manipulating the material into an aggressive string of notes. Brachfeld has smartly surrounded herself with musicians fluent and experienced in hard bop, adding an authentic edge to the recording. Gordon and Roney fill the tracks with hard bop fire that obviously inspire the other musicians and raise the bar quite high. O'Connell is a perfect partner to Brachfeld throughout the recording, acting as another musician with vast experience performing in both jazz and Latin music. Brachfeld makes a defined statement about the breadth and reach of her musicianship on Lady of the Island, showing us another side of her artistry that resonates with strength, beauty, skill, and personality.

Akademy and GUADEC co-located on Canary Islands
In July this year, the KDE community conference (Akademy) and the Gnome Users and Developers' Conference (GUADEC) will for the first time be co-located on the Spanish Canary Islands. Registration for the event has already opened and KDE is calling for presentation submissions.
The KDE community obviously enjoys island-hopping. In January it was Jamaica for the Camp KDE, in July it's Las Palmas on the holiday island of Gran Canaria and this time, the Gnome developers conference will be there too. The co-operation intends to strengthen ties between the desktop projects.
The double summit takes place from July 3 to July 11 and due to the expected run on available places (Canary Islands...who wouldn't?), organizers recommend a prompt registration. Announcement of the event was accompanied by the KDE Project's "call for participation" to the Akademy. This year's presentation key points, besides beauty and functionality, will also include portability. A sure sign that KDE has cast its developer eye upon mobile devices.
With a tight time-window, deadline for proposal submission is April 10, 2009. More information can be found on the KDE website.

It's amazing how much controversy a sidewalk can generate.
As part of a planned overhaul of Waverly Road, Lansing, Lansing Township and Ingham County are teaming up to build a pedestrian/bicycle path running from Mt. Hope and Pleasant Grove all the way up to Grand River Park on the north side of Grand River via Waverly Road.
The project runs up Waverly between Moores River and Old Lansing, creating a sidewalk on the east side of a narrow road where only a grass-beaten path exists right now.
The controversy comes from a few specific problems. One is the price tag, an estimated $1.3 million for the entire project. The other is from residents along Waverly Road, whose property lines currently extend past where the sidewalk is planned for.
That caused a debate at a community meeting Thursday night with some area residents saying that this was a bad economic time to be undertaking such an expensive project and that nobody walks through that area anyway.
Residents on the other side argued that there's never a "perfect" time to be funding projects like these, that money needed to be invested in the community and that it would better connect South Lansing to a YMCA on Old Lansing as well as Grand River Park.
A member of the Lansing's Public Service Department told WILX that there is no set starting date for the project, but that when it got underway it would likely close down one of Waverly's northbound lanes for no longer than a month.
But that's one small part of a larger Waverly overhaul that will have an effect on the roadway from I-96 all the way up to Grand River.
Between I-96 and Jolly on Waverly, the Ingham County Road Commission will be expanding Waverly from 2 lanes to 3 starting in July. Between Jolly and Cooley, the city of Lansing is adding a non-motorized pathway. Between Old Lansing and Grand River, Ingham County is making road repairs that should last 4-6 weeks starting in early April.
There are major changes planned for Moores River Drive and Mt. Hope between Pleasant Grove and Waverly as well. There's a plan to close two lanes of Moores River Drive and add a pedestrian and bicycle path. On Mt. Hope, the plan is to turn the 4 lane road into a 3 lane road with space for bicycles on the shoulders.
These two changes, however, are rolled in with the sidewalk project, which hasn't secured funding yet.

Henry and I made a real forest with upcycled tin cans, tree branches and a few plants.
Henry loves picking up sticks at Grandma's house. So that's just what he did.
While he added the biggest branches he could find to Grandma's twig pile, I gathered some small sticks for our project.
I snapped the branches to be about 4-8 inches long.
Henry snapped a couple, but quickly got sidetracked when he made an 'H' with one of the twigs.
(FYI: Punch a few holes in the bottom of your tin cans to allow for drainage before decorating.)
To decorate the tin cans to make them look like a trunk of a tree, I slid a couple rubberbands around each can. Then added the branches under them.
(I thought contact paper around the tin can would let Henry be able to add the branches himself. It wasn't nearly sticky enough to hold them in place.)
Henry, once again, got sidetracked, this time with the tin cans.
Yelling into them made funny noises!
Once the tin cans are decorated to look like tree trunks, add a little dirt to the bottom of the tree trunks, and plant a leafy plant!
A tree!
Combine a few trees, and you have a forest!
With lots of leftover sticks and branches, we moved our forest into the sandbox for play!
Adding sticks around the forest's trees made a very woodland area!
I told Henry these were his plants to take care of and he needed to water them so they grow big. He told me that they'd grow as big as that tree!
George was a part of our forest play as well.
He removed the forest twigs and branches as fast Henry put them in.
Henry finally had enough of that and hauled his branches to the corner behind the sandbox.
Away from George. The trees still stand in the sandbox.

Born In: Buffalo, N.Y.
• His father, Randy, an undrafted forward, played 741 NHL games for the NY Islanders, Buffalo, Toronto and Dallas between 1986-87 and 1996-97.
David Conte, Devils Director of Scouting:
"Randy was a very late developer. He didn't really blossom until he was a junior, senior at Yale and then he had a very lengthy career. Part of that is development. I think Miles has gone from 5-foot-9 to 6-foot-2 in a year; from a 150 pounds to 182 pounds and is still in process here."
"He goes to a great prep school, he's a good student – he'll be able to follow the programs."
"He's a tenacious player and we hope he takes that path. It's a little bit slower and methodical, but the return can be very significant."

Bitter cold, snow, and ice. It's a recipe for a nasty winter, but it also may be the perfect remedy for crime.
"Cold weather and bad weather historically have played a role in crime," said Lansing Police Lt. Mike Yankowski.
And this year is no exception in Lansing. Burglaries were down 23%. Felonious assaults -- 36%. Larceny fell off by 37%, and motor vehicle theft? Down an eye-popping 61%. It's all contributed to overall crime shrinking by 28%. The reason is simple. The average temperature this year over last -- down 11 degrees.
"There's not as many people out and about. People lock their doors, close their windows. They don't have their car or vehicle windows open all the time."
And then there's the snow. More than 55 inches have already fallen this year. Helping to cover car windows and cut out crimes of opportunity.
"If you make it easy for them they probably will. If not, they won't."
Despite the bitter cold temperatures we've seen most of this winter, the mercury is actually starting to rise. Throughout the next week we could see temperatures in the upper 40s, but police warn that could be increased crime as well.
"You'll see when the spring starts the transformation that you see."
Yankowski says they'll rely on police patrols and neighborhood watch organizations to help keep this year's crime rate intact even as the weather warms. As for how you can help?
"Lock your doors. Roll up your windows.

The Ladies: Ventriloquist by Nancy Mladenoff Full Professor, UW-Madison
The Hidden Truths, The Mind
Unraveled is presented by Hidden Truths Project in collaboration with the Epilepsy Therapy Project, as an annual fundraiser. The two-day celebration of the arts is designed to showcase the artwork of artists with epilepsy. The inaugural event included reproductions of artwork from Dr. Steven Schachter's portfolio of artists living with epilepsy. The event was a huge success, allowing donations of over $10,000 to Epilepsy Therapy Project's work in translational research. It was instrumental in creating an awareness of the incidence and prevalence of this hidden disability, affecting so many individuals in our society. Barriers were broken down, preconceived biases diminished, gaining a wider acceptance and support of this condition. The art show maintains the spirit of celebration in support of the amazing group of artists living with epilepsy. Art providing the educational tool, enhancing societal awareness of this condition. Art speaks a universal language to allow a dialog between the artist and the observer revealing the hidden truths about epilepsy.

Photo and caption by Jeremy Pratt
I captured this image just after sunrise one morning. My daughter and I almost walked into the web that was stretched between my jeep and basketball hoop. The spider tears down the web each morning and then rebuilds it just as the sun goes down. The photo was tricky to capture because the breeze was moving the web and making it difficult to focus on the spider.

Is Mike Murphy Right?Updated:
Is Mike Murphy right?
This may seem an unusual start to a Frontline post but Mike has made the news recently, criticising RTÉ for prioritising current affairs over the arts, specifically 'Masterpiece, Ireland's favourite painting' which he fronted.
Those in the broad church of "the arts" are probably less exercised by television scheduling than by Government cutbacks. Budgets are being slashed again and mergers are planned of our national libraries, museums and galleries, cue loud protests. In these straitened times can we continue to fund so much of arts and culture from the public purse or is that a case of the price of everything and the value of nothing?

10 of 17 people found the following review helpful
A "B Movie" is more intelligent. GET JIRO: A Critical Review,
This review is from: Get Jiro! (Hardcover)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
I don't know what happened here.
This novel is a cross between those old 70's films, The Warriors and Lone Wolf/ Lightning Swords of Death. There's, clearly, a deliberate attempt to tap into the Quentin Tarantino fan base.
But, the difference between, let's say, "Kill Bill" and this disaster is that Tarantino knows how to take disparate elements, stereotypes and mold them into a truly interesting story.
This story is just plain dumb. D-U-M-B...dumb.
Would you ever see (or expect your audience to wink to) a character who'd slice off a customer's head--unprovoked--because he ate sushi the wrong way while his friends, who're sitting by his decapitated body, merely wipe away his blood before resuming their obsession with Jiro's delicacies?
The main story revolves around Jiro, a renegade chef who just moved to L.A. to start a new life but finds himself embroiled between restaurant mafias who vie for his services.
Not even the illustrations can save this dud and it's only because of the artwork that GET JIRO will get 2 stars. And, I'm being VERY generous.
2 stars.

Interesting idea but instead of "Pulp Fiction" a better comparrison might be to "Kill Bill" with similar levels of violence but- think of the Crazy 88 - where Tarentino makes the violence artisit and just on the edge of having a place rather than being over the top gratuitous, but we're splitting hairs over a good review.

Philbin Adamsworthy says:
Many works of fiction require that you suspend belief in our cultural and physical norms. This is not simply L.A., as you put it, and that should be immediately clear. Although your memory of the sushi scene is skewed, to insist that characters in a futuristic fiction novel adhere to your behavioral expectations seems short-sighted at best.
As an artist yourself, I wish you had spent more time reviewing the things you understand, rather than reach for elements you did not grasp, and then fault the writers. I personally find the hand-holding writing style rather annoying and tiresome, but I understand that it suits others well. In any case, I felt that with your creative talent, you could have provided this community with something more constructive.
I'm saving my review for when I get the hardcover in hand. It doesn't seem right to rate the advance copy.

Kent Tonkin says:
Andre, I think you're missing the point. The book is both an action comic and an active satire on modern society. We, as Americans, have elevated functionless celebrities to levels of relevance that, at times, exceed teachers, artisans, and even world leaders. The way that the hapless patrons sit idly by while a sword-wielding sushi chef relieves their uncouth crony of his leaden skull is a metaphor for celebrity as status. In the world of "Get Jiro," a man can kill for a minor offense, while being backed by law enforcement. Did you also miss the "rings" of the city as a metaphor for the the "rings" of hell? Bottom line, a graphic novel is not merely dialog or graphics; it is both. Half of the story lies in the art. Don't rely on the word balloons to lead you entirely; you will miss the best part of the ride.
Give Jiro another slice before you write him off...

Point taken. I'll give it a fresh look because I find your objections reasonable.

Not Waving but Drowning
by Stevie Smith
Analysis: Setting
Where It All Goes Down
We have something of a mystery on our hands here. We know someone died, we have some guesses about how, but the location is never stated. So we have to make some guesses based on context.
If he was literally drowning, he must have been doing so in some body of water. Then, if people are standing around commenting on him, probably the scene is slightly different. Could it be on the shore after his body is pulled out? Or is it at his funeral, maybe his wake, as people gather around to remember him? What if the dead man is speaking from his grave or the afterlife? We just don't know.
The timeline is a little easier to reconstruct: guy dies, dead guy complains, folks talk about him, dead guy blasts them for getting it all wrong. It's not very specific about dates or how much time passes, of course, but at least it's a clear sequence.
The one surprise comes in the final stanza when we learn that the dead man didn't struggle just the once, but instead spent his life drowning. You could say his death wasn't a single event, but a long, lonely process. The setting, then, isn't even a real seashore, but instead just the poor guy's depressed mind. Hey, no one ever said this poem was a trip to paradise.

No Prep Rally For Lands' End: Stock Drops 8% on First Day
Lands' End shares tumbled on Monday, their first day of trading as an independent company after parent Sears Holdings distributed stock in the preppy clothing maker to its shareholders.
By mid-morning, the stock was changing hands at $29.15, down 8%.
Sears Chief Executive Edward Lampert has been distributing assets and businesses to shareholders in an effort to create value by allowing them to pick and choose what they want to hold. The strategy let's Sears focus on running its core businesses, which includes the struggling Sears and Kmart chains.
The distributions would keep the assets out of reach of creditors in the event of a worst case scenario in bankruptcy court — which nobody foresees soon. But shareholders haven't always profited by holding stock in the spun off units. Orchard Hardware Stores sought bankruptcy protection in June less than two years after it was spun off from Sears. Lowe's purchased 72 Orchard stores for $205 million in August and the rest of the company is being liquidated.
After briefly trading above $56 a share in June, the shares of Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores were changing hands on Monday at around $23.56, less than the $30.68 closing price on Oct. 12, 2012, their first day of trading after being spun off from Sears.
The shares of Sears Canada seem to be the exception. The stock was trading at 16.74 Canadian dollars Monday morning, higher than the closing price of 11.15 Canadian dollars on Oct. 22, 2012, the day Sears' board approved the distribution of 44.5% of the company's shares to Sears Holdings's shareholders. Sears Holdings continues to own 51% of Sears Canada.
Mr. Lampert, 51 years old, is Sears' largest shareholder. His hedge fund, ESL Investments Inc., owns 48% of the company. Those shares were worth $2.5 billion on April 4.
More spinoffs could be in the works. Sears has said it's considering alternatives for its chain of auto repair shops and is looking into ways of cashing in on its remaining stake in Sears Canada.
Sears, which lost $1.4 billion in the year ended Feb. 1, gets some benefit from the spinoffs. Lands' End paid Sears a $500 million dividend to Sears when the split was completed, and it will also pay rent on the 275 shops it has in Sears's stores.
The company raised $347 million by selling 23.1 million shares in Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores to Sears's shareholders for $15 apiece and was also paid a $100 million dividend in the transaction.

ASPEN - "We have snow on the road."
That's the reason Besha Deane of the T-Lazy-7 Ranch gave for why the family-owned snowmobiling business has been so successful during this lackluster winter.
While the Natural Resources Conservation Service says that Aspen snow levels are 46 percent of average, the T-Lazy-7 Ranch on Maroon Creek Road is bucking the trend of the neighboring ski resorts. According to owner Rick Deane, the ranch's business has seen a 10 percent increase compared with a year ago.
Besha Deane said the skiers who came looking for snow on the slopes found themselves with a couple of extra days to shop downtown or go looking for other means of having fun.
"They come out and visit us to go snowmobiling," she said. "You get to see the countryside because we've basically had 100 percent coverage on our trails thanks to our great crew."
What was critical in keeping the trails open was packing the snow during the first snowstorm in November. The ranch crew goes out when the snow is falling and wheel-packs the snow to get a few inches as a base.
"That's kind of the trick," Besha Deane said. "It's essential that we do that."
"We just don't take a chance," Rick Deane said. "We do that every year. Every year we may get one storm before Christmastime, and we may not get any more so we try and save every bit."
Along with packing the snow, the crew has employed what it calls "Operation Winter Storm" where it tows trailers filled with snow to certain sections of the trails. Besha Deane said that although they have done more of that than in the past, her family's business is as strong as ever as it enters into its 45th year of offering snowmobiling during the winter . This year marks the ranch's 74th year of operation.
"It's always been on my bucket list to do the snowmobiling at T-Lazy-7," said visitor Liz Cohen, of Denver. "The trails were good, and it was fun."
The good trails are attracting more people to snowmobiling and word has been spreading among the cross-country skiing community that the trail is open.
"It was a very nice, easy, beautiful walk up and back," said cross-country skier Tink Boyer, who traveled from Basalt with her friend Patty Peterson. "It's gradual both ways, and it's a pretty good workout. They maintain the trail pretty well."
While the ranch does not rent out skis for cross-country skiing, the crew takes pride in keeping the trail open for the community. A couple of skiing clubs, including the Aspen High School cross-country team, are extremely thankful for the open trails.
Using their trail-saving tactics along with some help from Mother Nature in the coming months, the ranch operators are in good spirits.
"As long as we can get a few storms here and there to keep the trails looking white, we'll be great," Besha Deane said. "We'll keep working on the trails, too. As long as we have manpower, we'll keep the trails good."

A Wikipedia entry was removed from search results for the first time today as a part of Europe's 'right to be forgotten' legislation, according to the BBC.
So far, no one has identified which link will be removed from search results or who made the request. The link's removal was first reported by the Observer in a profile about Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales.
On September 9 in Madrid, Wales will serve on a panel, chosen by Google, charged with developing search engine guidelines for dealing with link removal requests related to the 'right to be forgotten' law. "The legislation is completely insane and needs to be fixed," said Wales in the Observer profile.
The "right to be forgotten" rule emerged out of a 2010 lawsuit brought against Google and a Spanish newspaper by Mario Costeja González because he felt a 1998 article regarding the sale of his house being auctioned to cover bank debts was no longer relevant and reflected poorly on him.
A Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in Mr.González' favor. The ruling said that, though the newspaper didn't need to amend or remove the article, Google would have to stop linking to it in search results.
The law has lead to a barrage of link removal requests, upwards of 91,000, and as a result Google has removed over 100,000 links.
Google has had difficulty enforcing the law in a meaningful way. Initially many articles from the Guardian and BBC were delinked, causing an uproar in the media. Articles involving high profile individuals in key events, like the ousting of a former Merrill Lynch chief executive, were suddenly missing from search results. Google responded to the backlash by promising not to censor the work of journalists.
This new panel in Madrid is the company's latest attempt to maintain freedom of speech rights while honoring the privacy of individuals and the rights they are entitled to.
We've reached out to Jimmy Wales as well as Wikipedia's press team and will update this story with details as they come in.

Nick's Article: Dom Perignon's Plenitudes
August 5th, 2014
One of the things I most often get asked is the "when to drink my..." wine question and it is often a hard one to answer definitively. The number of variables involved, not least of all cellaring conditions, means that a drinking window is a rough guide at best when someone stops you in the street.
But there are the odd wines that I've tasted regularly enough to notice that they fall into a very regular pattern in spite of the array of variables. For me, Dom Perignon is one of those wines that seem to follow a well-worn and consistent pattern of maturation, changing gears around the same point in time. Anyone who has asked me when to drink their Dom would have been told to aim for the 15-year mark.
A recent tasting with Richard Geoffroy's right hand man, Vincent Chaperon, provided plenty of insight into the "how Dom ages" discussion, particularly as he was opening the newest aged release 1998, alongside a 1996 Œnotheque release and the current regular release 2004.
The old Œnotheque release program has been re-badged as P2 – referencing what Geoffroy has coined Dom Perignon's second 'plenitude' of its evolution. And whilst this seems ostensibly a new, more specific name for the same late-release program, it does highlight a particular stage in the evolution of Dom Perignon and sets the tone for a more complex discussion around this.
The thing I wanted to flesh out with Chaperon was the Dom Perignon team's insight into lees maturation in the context of this P2 release and the way that Dom is engineered for these various phases of its development on lees, developing and delivering so reliably at 15 years from vintage.
The 1998 seemed an ideal vintage around which to have this discussion too. The 1998 P2 release was bottled in 1999 and disgorged in 2012 and has transformed into a more complex and profound Champagne, as you would expect. But the most significant change is the sense of an extended length, a more focused and more energetic finish on the palate, perhaps an unexpected result for many who may have considered it.
On release the 1998 Dom was a Champagne with a fairly full, round and creamy palate. Revisiting it with around double the time spent maturing on lees it seems to have compressed, chiseled and noticeably changed shape. There's a newly refreshed finish on the wine, also seemingly intensified and, as I said already, seemingly lengthened.
Chaperon talks of a "sapidity" that is brought about by the longer maturation on lees, a kind of minerality, alongside what he also calls aromatic length. "The first plenitude is always around 6-8 years when the wine finds harmony," he says, "the second plenitude is about energy and we decide to release when the energy appears in the wine, energy through the finish, born of tension between freshness and maturity. The third plenitude is a stage in which maximum complexity is sought, very concentrated, with the most wisdom but with less energy."
Geoffroy, Chaperon and the Dom Perignon winemaking team are keen to gather people around their world of lees maturation in order to teach a more complex understanding of the effects. "There's a misunderstanding of the importance of this stage," Chaperon says. "There are things we can explain with lees maturation and many things we cannot, it is a discussion between the yeast and the personality of the blend you build and it is different for every Champagne, in fact, for every blend."
Maturation on lees is true to Dom Perignon's construction and style and the blend is built from the beginning for a long maturation on lees, right back to vineyard selection and time of harvest. Once in the winery, it is pushed towards a reductive orientation from the beginning, preserving the vibrancy of what Chaperon refers to as the "initial fruitiness."
"This includes everything," he says, "the pressing, the fermentation, the way we handle the wine. This is always looking to preserve the original primary fruitiness of our grapes until the second alcoholic fermentation in the bottle."
If terroir and vintage character shape the first stage or 'plenitude' then it is the impact of the yeast lees which is going to release elements of texture, structure and sapidity for the second plenitude. "Everything you do early on has an impact on the way the maturation on lees will be handled and the result on the wine. It's one of the pillars of Champagne but few people really talk properly about it," Chaperon muses.
Geoffroy, Chaperon and the team are really focusing on this maturation on lees as a key to the Dom Perignon style, a paradox of sorts for them, because it is in fact a passive process, yet influenced or set up by the way in which they articulate the blend before the second alcoholic fermentation. As Chaperon puts it, "The blend you build must consider the future process of maturation and you are always looking to the absolute final result which is, in fact, the third plenitude."
There's a carefully judged tension built into Dom Perignon - the initial direct fruitiness shaped by the blend, combined with the impact of the lees maturation which gives shape to the aromatics, the texture, the structure and the length.
Chaperon reinforces the fact that Dom Perignon's development and evolution through stages is not linear, hence the idea of the 'plenitudes' of evolution. With the first and second plenitudes both formally established with these latest releases, this of course beckons the question about future plans for third plenitude Dom Perignon releases.
And on that note I can confirm that there is a Dom Perignon P3 release scheduled for early 2015 with 1971 and 1983 vintages both confirmed. There's much to look forward to there.

Leading up to the day when Game of Thrones Season 4 begins, clips are being shared by the teams behind the promotion of the series. If you're not about SPOLIERS, we suggest you turn back now. There are plenty of spoilers here - though if you're a traditionalist, and enjoy watching the series after you've seen it once through - by all means, jump in!
With ample warning, it's surprising that if you're not about SPOILERS, you're still moving forward. This Game of Thrones season 4 trailer is 20 seconds short of two minutes long and it has more spoilers in it than the 14 minute trailer shared earlier. Make sure you don't watch the last 30 seconds if you don't want to be spoiled - what's seen cannot be unseen.
The trailer begins with Arya Stark speaking the names of the people that she wants to eliminate. This harkens back to the season before where it was given to her the method with which she'd get through her hard road ahead. Remember those that've wronged you, suggested her guide, and you'll be able to forge on - so to speak. This seems to be a theme of this season throughout. No more fun and games.
"Joffrey, Cersei, Tywin Lannister, the Red Woman. I can't sleep until I say the names." - Arya Stark
"The names of every person in Westeros?" - Sandor Clegane
"Only the ones I'm going to kill."
You'll also see what appears to be Tyrion Lannister standing in chains before a throned Daenerys Targaryen. It's there that Tyrion repeats the line he spoke in the previous trailer: "if you want justice, you've come to the wrong place."
Game of Thrones season 4 begins on Sunday, April 6th at 9PM Eastern Time, 8PM Central. That's 7PM Mountain Time and 6PM Pacific, if you did not know. That'll be on both HBO - the television network - as well as HBO go, the app.

This article features an additional bonus interview with Matthew Stober, global head of technical operations at Novartis.
A few things. The outbreak in recent years of two widespread and potentially fatal strains of flu elevated influenza from medical inconvenience to public-health emergency. Second, well-publicized delays in producing vaccine against the H1N1 pandemic strain in 2009 highlighted how ineffectual is the traditional manufacturing paradigm in responding to sudden large-scale outbreaks of influenza. Both events placed new pressures on manufacturers to find novel, more responsive, more scalable methods for vaccine production.Indeed just this past August, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) issued a report to the president on ways to reengineer the entire influenza vaccine manufacturing enterprise to meet the challenges of a pandemic influenza outbreak. At the same time, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a report describing how government and industry could work together to tackle pandemic influenza, and according to a recent press briefing by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama administration proposed a $2 billion strategy to create a more "nimble and flexible" system for responding to novel pathogens (see Washington Report).
But switching to new manufacturing paradigms will not come easily or cheaply. For one thing, the traditional platform already has regulatory approval. But FDA released a guidance in February 2010 that paves the way for novel formulations and manufacturing approaches. Even if regulatory roadblocks were removed, however, there remains the stark economic reality that traditional influenza vaccine is a low-margin business, which leaves little incentive for innovation. Notes Rahul Singhvi, president and CEO of Novavax (Rockville, MD), "If you looked at the vaccine landscape today, it would be tough to say that influenza is a good area to go into given that five companies dominate the market and that the vaccine is basically a commodity." The trick for companies looking to move the technology forward is to find a solution as economical as it is effective.
