Published: January 28, 2003
A panel commissioned by the New York City Police Department concluded yesterday that there was no misconduct in the 1989 investigation of the Central Park jogger case, and said that five Harlem men whose convictions were thrown out by a judge last month had ''most likely'' participated in the beating and rape of the jogger.
The panel also disputed the claim of Matias Reyes, a convicted killer and serial rapist, that he alone had raped the jogger. It was his confession last year that led to a sweeping re-examination of the infamous case by prosecutors, and to a reversal of all the original convictions against the five defendants.
Mr. Reyes's confession may have been motivated by prison threats or by a wish to transfer to a more desirable prison, the panel said. Noting that DNA tests showed that he had raped the jogger, the panel insisted there was ''nothing but his uncorroborated word'' that he acted alone.
''Our examination of the facts leads us to suggest that there is an alternative theory of the attack upon the jogger, that both the defendants and Reyes assaulted her, perhaps successively,'' the panel of three lawyers named by Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly last November declared in a 43-page report addressed to the commissioner.
It was the latest chapter in a vast compendium of claims, criminal charges, convictions, reversals, disputed facts and hotly debated theories of the events of April 19, 1989, when a mob of 40 Harlem teenagers invaded Central Park to assault, rob and harass joggers, bikers and others in a night that came to symbolize an era of rampant crime and racial tensions in the city.
Compiled by two prominent New York lawyers, Michael F. Armstrong and Jules A. Martin, and by Stephen L. Hammerman, deputy police commissioner for legal affairs, the report also constituted the Police Department's counterpoint to a motion last month by the Manhattan district attorney, Robert M. Morgenthau, that recommended dismissal of the convictions of the five men, whose graphic but unsupported confessions had sent them to prison.
Contradicting a longstanding theory that the jogger had been gang-raped, Mr. Morgenthau had cited what he called persuasive new evidence that Mr. Reyes had been the lone rapist. He said a fresh look at the confessions and a reconstruction of events that night suggested that the youths could not have raped the jogger because they were elsewhere in the park, assaulting other victims.
But the report by the police panel -- its points sounding like a rebuttal to the district attorney -- insisted there was no new evidence beyond Mr. Reyes's claims, said that the videotaped and written confessions had not been coerced or fed to the suspects by investigators, and that timelines constructed to show that the defendants were elsewhere were unreliable. It said the ''most likely scenario'' was that the youths and Mr. Reyes had attacked the jogger, either simultaneously or consecutively.
Taken together, the police and prosecutor's reports consider the same facts, but draw opposing conclusions, the police defending their actions and the prosecutors theirs, with neither acknowledging mistakes by investigators in 1989. Thus, it appears increasingly likely that the mysteries of a signature case in the annals of New York crime may never be totally resolved.
Unlike the prosecutor's motion, however, the police report offered a series of procedural recommendations to improve complicated investigations, including greater sharing and coordination of information, better management of forensic evidence and more adequate rooms for interrogating minors. But it said nothing about taping all interviews with minors, a suggestion made recently by law enforcement experts. Hours of interviews were conducted by investigators in the jogger case before the taping began.
Unlike Mr. Morgenthau's motion, the police report will have no effect on the case itself, which was closed on Dec. 19 when State Supreme Court Justice Charles J. Tejada accepted a defense motion and reversed the convictions against Raymond Santana, Kharey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray and Yusef Salaam, both in the jogger case and in the attacks on other victims that night.
The judge said that juries in the jogger case might have ruled differently if they had known of Mr. Reyes's role, and said the horrendousness of the facts in the jogger case had probably tainted jurors' perceptions in ruling on the other assaults. The five have already served sentences of 7 1/2 to 13 1/2 years, so the ruling had no legal effect beyond clearing the names of the men.
Mr. Morgenthau had no comment on the police report. Lawyers and supporters for the five defendants, however, called it a biased and belated attempt to clear the reputation of the Police Department. ''They've got so much egg on their face, they're never going to be able to wipe it off,'' said Myron Beldock, a lawyer for Mr. Salaam.
At a news conference yesterday, Mr. Kelly called it ''an exhaustive, time-consuming project'' conducted ''in the most painstaking and professional manner possible.''

Canucks Report
Friday, 09.12.2008 / 4:28 PM PT / Features
Vancouver Canucks
1 on 1 with Gendur
Hodgson's summer
Day one gallery
Despite the intense fitness tests the players are in good spirits and eager for the chance to make an impression on the Canucks coaching staff. With the demanding day of testing behind them, they focus on hockey and showcasing their skills.
Cory Schneider, the Canucks first round draft pick in 2004, is participating in his second prospect camp following his first professional season with the Manitoba Moose, and looks forward to this weekend's on-ice training and getting the competitive energy flowing again.
"It's exciting just because you get to play with the guys on the ice, you get to test yourself and see how much you have improved and how far you've come in the past year," he said. "Hopefully make an impression on the coaches and the staff, and just put yourself in their minds so when it comes time to make a decision you're right there in the mix."
Throughout the summer the prospects focus their training on conditioning and trying to achieve the elite fitness level of NHL players.
Cody Hodgson, selected 10th overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, spent the summer working and training with Dave Gagner and shadowing his 19 year old son, Sam, who played 79 games with the Edmonton Oilers in 2007-08 season.
"I just tried to learn as much as possible from Sam and Dave too," said Hodgson. "[Dave] played 15 years in the NHL, there's no better learning experience in the summer for me. I just think of prospects camp as a great opportunity to play in the National Hockey League. It's been my goal my whole life, so hopefully it comes true."
At 18 years old, Hodgson was named captain of his OHL team the Brampton Battalion in the 2007-08 season and is a prospect fans are keeping a close watch on. Another prospect to keep an eye on will be Michael Grabner the Canucks first round selection in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
Grabner tallied 22 goals last season with the Moose in his first full year as a professional, has been through the grind of prospects camp before. He's training hard this summer to prepare and prove he can play a two-way game.
"That's the main thing – to try to get some goals here - but they wanted me to work on my defensive game and that's what I tried to do," said Grabner. "So, I need to show that them that I worked on it and that I improved from last year."
With the intense fitness testing over, the prospects will spend the next three days on the ice at Thunderbird Arena. Check back to Canucks.com for videos, features, blogs, and exclusive photos from the week's events.

What is my style?:
My style is really not definable in that it tends to change with my mood. I like a little bit of everything from vintage to casual, sporty to goth, and even some bespoke tailoring. Mostly I enjoy being comfortable and feeling good about what I am wearing. I love shorter hair styles and usually opt for a dark, exotic look in skins and hair. I'm often trying something different and you'll even find me shopping from the guys stores. If fashion were food, I would be happily fat in it!
My review policy:
I will never ask for a review copy packet. However if you're interested in me reviewing something please feel free to send a packet with all pertinent information. I will do my best to blog it if it is in MY style range & my schedule allows; I would ask that you allow a few days before seeing your item posted on my blog. I LOVE finding new stores so feel free to send me your store SLurls/Marketplace url & I'll happily check it out! A review packet from your store is not needed for me to have a look either.

|We present a characteristic-free algorithm for computing minimal generating sets of invariant rings of permutation groups. We circumvent the main weaknesses of the usual approaches (using classical Gröbner basis inside the full polynomial ring, or pure linear algebra inside the invariant ring) by relying on the theory of SAGBI-Gröbner basis. This theory takes, in this special case, a strongly combinatorial flavor, which makes it particularly effective. Our algorithm does not require the computation of a Hironaka decomposition, nor even the computation of a system of parameters, and could be parallelized. Our implementation, as part of the library permuvar for mupad, is in many cases much more efficient than the other existing software.

Obama, McCain, Fannie and Freddie: A Troubled Love Story
In this year's fraught political environment, rivals Barack Obama and John McCain can agree on few things, but this is one: that it is time to restructure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
|Associated Press
Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and a frequent supporter of Fannie and Freddie, agrees. On the other side of the debate is Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, who favors maintaining Fannie and Freddie's current structure–and he is one of the few people who can actually influence the immediate outcome.
Wall Street cares because the fates of Fannie and Freddie could have a big impact on the credit markets. It is an open question of whether these virulent views will last past the election season. For one thing, events are coming to a head now, during the election. And both candidates–seemingly ill-prepared in general on economic issues–may not be able to see the whole picture until they get into office. For another, the unavoidable question about Fannie and Freddie is the scale of their influence in Washington, cushioned by $170 million in spending on lobbying efforts in the past decade. John F. Kennedy once made light of popular sneers that his father's Wall Street money had won him the 1960 election, saying that he had received a telegram from his father saying, "Dear Jack: Don't buy one more vote than necessary. I'll be damned if I pay for a landslide."
Though Fannie and Freddie have been big lobbyists of Washington, they are hardly getting their money's worth this year. Just before Labor Day, Sen. Obama derided Fannie and Freddie as a "weird blend," advocating that "If these are public entities, then they've got to get out of the profit-making business, and if they're private entities, then we don't bail them out." He said later that he has "no sympathy" for the CEOs of Fannie and Freddie, and that the government shouldn't bail out "investors who had made a killing."
McCain, similarly, railed in an editorial that "if elected, I'll continue my crusade for the right reform of the institutions: making them go away. I will get real regulation that limits their ability to borrow, shrinks their size until they are no longer a threat to our economy, and privatizes and eliminates their links to the government." McCain attributed the growth of the agencies to "crony capitalism," and Washington selling out to Wall Street.
But Paulson, a Wall Streeter by training, sought to avoid getting enmeshed in the Fannie/Freddie "holy war" that had pitted Democrats supportive of the mortgage companies against a Republican administration that favored shrinking the two quasigovernmental agencies. Paulson fought to extend their credit lines "not because of wanting any favors for anyone on Wall Street." He told colleague Deborah Solomon, "This was not an easy thing to do emotionally. It's not something I came to Washington wanting to do."
The fact that both Obama and McCain believe that Fannie and Freddie aren't properly structured is a good sign. It indicates that change is afoot and that the market may not have to hold its breath in the future while worrying about the fate of the two government-supported agencies, which are exposed to about $5 trillion in debt. But, as Paulson himself is finding out, change is easier to talk about than to accomplish.

Sep 13, 2012Neznam kako gledaoci i kriticari smatraju ovaj film pod "ozbiljnim" ?!? meni je ovo nalik na neku japansku parodiju i sprdačinu ..ko je pogledao film,nadam se da ce shvatiti zasto to mislim..
This one's a thoroughly campy exercise in teen melodrama and Grand Guignol gore (how gory? it's one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies), the other (The Hunger Games) a straight-faced action picture.
American fans of "The Hunger Games" may not embrace - or even be permitted to see - Battle Royale, which is too bad. It is in many ways a better movie and in any case a fascinating companion, drawn from a parallel cultural universe. It is a lot uglier and also, perversely, a lot more fun.
Departing from two decades' worth of domestic and personal dramas and returning to his roots as Japan's maestro of mayhem, Kinji Fukasaku has delivered a brutal punch to the collective solar plexus with one of his most outrageous and timely films.

N.H. poll: Rich should pay more
As contentious budget negotiations continue between President Obama and House Republicans in Washington, D.C., a newly released poll by New England College shows that New Hampshire residents overwhelmingly support Obama's proposal to increase tax rates on the wealthy.
The NEC Center for Civic Engagement poll conducted last week also reveals how much unease is being felt about the so-called "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts. The support for middle-class tax cuts was matched by a clash about potential benefit changes in programs such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. But there is overall confidence about the future of the economy and a strong message for political leaders to focus on jobs.
"New Hampshire voters are concerned about the economy, cautiously optimistic about the near term and eager for governmental action to lower unemployment," said Ben Tafoya, the director of the NEC poll and an assistant professor at New England College.
In the poll of 658 registered New Hampshire voters, 66 percent supported raising taxes on families with incomes of more than $250,000 per year, while 28 percent opposed the idea. In the debate about Medicare reform, 48 percent of voters said they would favor raising the eligibility age while 46 percent opposed it.
The voters also said they want Congress to focus first on jobs. Picking from a menu of top issues facing the country, more voters chose lowering the unemployment rate (45 percent), followed by reducing the deficit (34 percent), keeping taxes down (13 percent) and holding down prices (8 percent).
"They feel public officials at the federal and state level should concentrate on taking actions to grow the economy, employment and wages," Tafoya said.
While more voters are optimistic about their financial situation next year by a 16-point margin (48 percent to 32 percent), a large majority (57 percent) said their holiday season spending will be no higher than last year and 19 percent said they will spend more. Nationally, the National Federation of Retailers said it expects a 4 to 5 percent increase in holiday retail sales over 2011.
"I think they are trying to give us a Christmas gift," said Doug Bates, president of the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, about the budget negotiations. "The problem is how they are going to get it done. I think people are tentative but cautiously optimistic. Big companies don't know what to expect and small companies feel the same. People are never sure what to believe when it comes from Washington, D.C., but nobody wants to see anything done to stifle this recovery."
If New Hampshire consumers are skittish this holiday season, Bates said he doesn't believe it is affecting Portsmouth. "When people have money in their pocket, they feel good," he said.
Uncertainty about the economy may also be weighing on consumers. Dennis Delay, the New Hampshire forecast manager for the New England Economic Partnership, said the state's job recovery has been a disappointment.
"In prior recoveries, New Hampshire's rate of job growth often substantially outstripped employment expansion in New England and the nation. That is not occurring now," said Delay, an economist at the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, during a recent post-election analysis of the state's economy.
The NEC poll found differences on policy questions based on gender and party identification. Women opposed Medicare eligibility changes by a margin of 46 percent to 42 percent, while men favor the change 55 percent to 39 percent. Republicans favor increasing the age for Medicare by 54 percent to 40 percent, while Democrats oppose the change by 51 percent to 39 percent. On the issue of holiday spending, there is no difference between the genders.
During a visit Monday to Velcro USA in Somersworth, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., called for quick bipartisan action to avoid going over the fiscal cliff on Jan. 1.
"We need to take action. Failure to achieve a solution would have severe consequences for our economy and the middle class," Shaheen said. "Businesses in our state, including Velcro USA, want us to resolve this crisis, provide certainty and avoid across-the-board cuts. That's why we need bipartisan action on a long-term, comprehensive deficit reduction plan."

'Perfect' Apple Pushed Growers Into Debt
By TIMOTHY EGAN
Published: November 4, 2000
ORONDO, Wash., Nov. 2— Nearly a half-century ago, the farmers in these dun-colored valleys east of the Cascade Mountains set out to create the perfect apple. It would be lipstick red; broad-shouldered; uniform in size, color and crispness; a health food that would look as dazzling as an ornament on a Christmas tree.
In time, they refined the Red Delicious apple into an American icon, fit for a teacher's desk, a child's lunch box, a dieter's dash out the door. The growers produced these apples like widgets coming off a factory line -- far more than they could ever sell. And while many people raved about the apples, other consumers complained that the fruit did not taste like the original Red Delicious.
Losses piled up. And now the bill has come due. Last month, Congress approved and President Clinton signed the biggest bailout in the history of the apple industry, after the government reported that apple growers had lost $760 million in the last three years.
But while apple farmers blame their woes on a variety of troubles -- unfair competition with foreign growers, oversupply, low prices paid by wholesalers -- many of them now talk openly about their own role in the collapse of one of the last sectors of American agriculture still dominated by family farms.
In trying to create the perfect apple for major supermarket chains, these farmers say, they may have sacrificed taste to cosmetics. The growers say their story is like a fable with lessons for how the nation produces its fresh food.
''Nobody should feel sorry for us -- we did this to ourselves,'' said Doyle Fleming, a lifelong apple farmer who has been gradually replacing his Red Delicious trees near this village along the Columbia River with newer varieties. ''For almost 50 years, we've been cramming down the consumer's throat a red apple with ever thicker skin, sometimes mushy, sometimes very good if done right, but a product that was bred for color and size and not for taste.''
Mr. Fleming's son, Tye, sliced open a big Cameo apple with just a blush of color and an intense, juicy core. It had just come off the tree, and the flavor was something rarely found in a supermarket apple.
''Good apple, huh? Tell you what: It's not red enough to get the highest grade that brings the best price,'' he said. ''But if we go any redder with this apple, it starts to lose something.''
Across the river from the Fleming farm, smoke rose from an old Red Delicious orchard that a farmer was burning, after going broke. By some industry estimates, up to 20 percent of American apple farmers will go out of business this year -- even with a just-approved package of federal relief that will pay up to $30,000 each to people who have raised apples for at least two of the last three years, regardless of whether they made money.
''What happened was, a whole growing system evolved around color and shape, because that's what the big buyers wanted,'' said Steve Fox, the marketing director of a fruit packing and storage company here in the heart of apple country. ''So they made the apples redder and redder, and prettier and prettier, and they just about bred themselves out of existence.''
The growers say they established color, size and firmness standards in response to the major supermarket chains, who wanted a consistent product that caught the eye of the harried shopper. Many apple farmers have started to grow popular new varieties like Fujis, Galas and Granny Smiths, but most orchards are still producing the old standbys, at huge losses.
To watch the last of this year's plump, rosy-looking apples being picked and packed off to storage on golden afternoons in November, it seems incongruent that this industry could be in such trouble. Apples are heralded as a health food, a source of antioxidants, linked in recent studies with inhibiting the growth of colon cancer and reducing the risk of lung cancer. Apples are also rich in pectin, which has been shown in some studies to lower blood cholesterol.
But while Americans have been eating more fruits and vegetables over the last 10 years, per capita consumption of apples has remained flat.
In creating an apple that packs well, looks terrific, shines to a glossy polish and can live year-round in cold storage, the growers have produced something many of them no longer recognize.
''I was in Israel recently and bit into a Red Delicious apple grown there, and I just about fell on my back,'' said Paul Thomas, a retired winemaker whose family has been growing Washington apples since the early 1900s. ''I thought, 'This is what it used to taste like.' They pick the apple and put it on the grocery shelf the next morning.''
More than 2,500 apple varieties are grown in the United States by about 9,000 growers, though 15 varieties account for 90 percent of the crop. This year's harvest, estimated at 10.6 billion pounds, is close to the record yield of 1998.
But in the face of such plenty is calamity. ''For sale'' signs are ubiquitous in apple country, and bankruptcies are common. The $138 million in government money is bittersweet relief. Unlike other agricultural producers, who are accustomed to getting taxpayer aid not to grow crops or to make up price differences, apple farmers have long been a fiercely independent lot who boast of their freedom from federal subsidies.

MARIETTA - Oohing and ahhing at the color changing hair clips and colorful hair extensions, 7-year-old Kasia Carter assessed the prize she had just won Wednesday morning at the annual Police Pool Party.
"I'm happy. It's got this that changes colors, and this," she added pointing to the pictures on the box of the hair salon kit.
Though she was not quite sure what the prize contained when she won it moments before, it did not stop Carter from wildly waving her new toy around to show her father and sisters.

Kasia Carter, 7, of Marietta holds up her prize for her father and sisters to see after her winning ticket was drawn Wednesday morning at the annual Police Pool Party at the Marietta Aquatic Center.
Carter was among hundreds of children to win a prize Wednesday at the party, which drew nearly 1,000 people to the Marietta Aquatic Center. Sponsored by the Marietta Police Department and Fraternal Order of Police Pioneer City Lodge 12, the party - once a picnic - has been a community summer staple since the 1930s.
Many, like Carter's father, remember attending the party in their youth.
"I always bring them, every year," said William Carter, 29, of his five children. "I used to come to these when I was a kid, and they enjoy it. You can't beat a free day at the pool."
Winning a prize - a light-up Skip-it - was a highlight of the day for 9-year-old Kylah Stanley of Marietta. But the day would be fun even without the prize, she added.
"I enjoyed swimming with my friends. I've seen a lot of people I know here," she said.
While swimming and prizes bring plenty of smiles, the Marietta Police Department hopes the children have a larger take-away from the event as well.
"This provides a positive interaction between the children, and the community, and the police department," said Capt. Jeff Waite.
The goal is that the interaction will help youth see that police are easily approachable, trustworthy figures, he said.
Sarah McKay, a Marietta mom of five, said the event is a good representation of the community spirit that makes Marietta unique.
"I think Marietta is a very family friendly community, and we really appreciate that the police department goes out of their way to support family fun," said McKay, 37.
Rebecca Wheeler, who brought her three children and a family friend, said her family postponed a trip for a day so they could attend the event for the first time.
"My husband works on the road. We were going to leave to see him today, but we put it off until tomorrow," said Wheeler, 37, of Devola.
Around 300 prizes were given away Wednesday. Among them were dolls, action figures, remote-controlled cars, fashion kits, outdoor toys, around 40 bicycles, and an Xbox One.

Following a very close vote by the Meridian Township board Tuesday night the Hannah Lofts development got the green light to move forward amidst worries from nearby residents.
The development, near the intersection of Hannah Blvd. and Esoteric Way, is pegged to be a mixed-use development offering diverse housing and commercial space but some board members and residents argue it'll attract more students to the area.
WILX's Josh Sidorowicz is following up on the story and will have more tonight on News 10 at 11.

Subject: [VPN] VPN Client warning
Hi all,
I am spirit to deploy a solution of a safety transfer
of the data between a remote station and servers
located in the seat of my company. =
I chose for that the Cisco product: 2 concentrators
3000 (main and backup), and I installed Cisco VPN
Client 4.6 in the remote stations. =
I configured VPN Client to launches in the starting of
the station and to check connectivity with the
principal concentrator each 3 minute, so if there is a
problem in the concentrator it reconnect automatically
with the backup (the backup takes the address private
and public of the main). =
Now if there is a problem in the station itself (for
example the cable network is disconnected),
connectivity with the concentrator will be cut and the
VPN Client will test reconnected each three minute.
After a certain time (15mn practically), the VPN
Client posts the following warning: =
"Warning 201: The necessary VPN sub-system is not
available. You can not connect to the remote VPN
server... " =
I want to know if there is a way so that this warning
(and others warnings) will not posted on the screen,
and by consequence, if the problem of the station
would be solved the VPN Client will automatically be
able to reconnected with the concentrator.
All suggestion will be the come good. Thank you in

- Sharks-Blackhawks series
- Game 4: Sharks lose series
- Game 3: Sharks lose 3-2 in OT
- Game 2: Sharks fall 4-2
- Game 1: Sharks drop opener
Not quite four periods into their second-round playoff series against Detroit, the Sharks confronted their worst fears, live and in HD.
That's Hellacious Domination.
Winners in Game 1, the Sharks got off to a fast start in Sunday's Game 2. An obligatory goal by Joe Pavelski, and another by Ryane Clowe (via an obligatory Pavelski assist) gave San Jose a 2-1 lead after 10:32 of play. Then the Red Wings stopped playing around.
Before the first period was over, Tomas Holmstrom's tip-in goal had tied the score. Early in the second, Nicklas Lidstrom's power-play goal made it 3-2 Detroit.
The Red Wings had seized control of the game, and there is no way to quantify the phenomenon. It's more a visual, aesthetic experience, watching them zip up and down the ice, rip tape-to-tape passes, annex the neutral zone and create dangerous scoring flurries that seem to last longer than the NHL's age of overtime losses.
It's mesmerizing stuff, leading you to wonder how it is they don't score 11 goals every game.
"They took over in the second," Sharks defenseman Rob Blake said. "The first couple shifts of the third period they were very good, too."
Yes they were. Detroit fired off four shots in the first 1:14 of the third, a sequence that ended only when San Jose's Douglas Murray was called for interference. Then came a Red Wings power play and three more crackling good shots on net.
Are you getting the picture? This is what the Wings do best, and what their opponents fear most. As it happens, recovering from these kinds of spirit-breaking turns of events is what the Sharks have been accused of doing worst. Especially in the postseason.
Thus what happened next, which led directly to the Sharks' 4-3 win, was even more revelatory than it was instructive.
With Murray still in the box, San Jose defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic drew a hooking penalty from Detroit's Todd Bertuzzi. Before that penalty was over, Pavelski drew a hook from Niklas Kronwall. That gave the Sharks 1:20 of five-on-three time. They used it wisely.
Joe Thornton's pass into the crease created a frenzy that resulted in Pavelski's second goal of the game. There was another Detroit penalty, and another. The Sharks didn't convert, but by then they had done something even more impressive — they had reassumed control of the game.
The power plays, Sharks forward Manny Malhotra said, "lifted our spirits and got them back on their heels a little bit."
There was still the small matter of winning the game. But the Sharks were circling now, especially the reunited first line of Thornton, Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau. With a little less than eight minutes to play, they got their break.
Lidstrom's stick broke on an attempted slap shot near the San Jose blue line, leaving the puck wobbling harmlessly at his feet.
Heatley gathered it and raced up the right side with Thornton and Marleau to his left. Heatley took it in close and fired a shot that Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard kicked away but couldn't control.
The rebound found its way to Thornton, who buried it.
"You need breaks," Thornton said. "You also make your breaks, and I think we did."
That goes for the winning goal, the final period of Game 2, and the series to date. They have done it by taking a page out of Hockey 101 — the one that extols the virtues of working like sled dogs.
"I thought we played well all night," Thornton said. "We were moving our feet. When you move your feet, you get the calls."
The Red Wings seemed to think there was a more sinister explanation, but there's no denying the effort that went into the Sharks' scoring chances, the goals themselves and the defensive push that thwarted the Red Wings' desperate attempts to tie the score in the final few minutes. But the Red Wings aren't likely to change their style back in Detroit.
"Their best game will be the next game," Blake said.
The Sharks have been saying that for two games now. And for two games, Detroit's best game hasn't been good enough.

Ethnic Chicago 2 Gift Box
Ethnic Chicago Neighborhoods Spice Blends Gift Box 2
Chicago neighborhood ethnic spice blends are featured in this gift box; four of our very popular Chicago seasonings, each created to reflect a Chicago neighborhood and its ethnic background. All seasonings are mixed here in our store fresh weekly, to give you the highest quality flavor. Each blend is designed for versatility in its cooking uses-- between the four, you can make delicious beef, poultry, fish, pork, pasta, rice, vegetable, egg, salad, or soup dishes. A complete brochure accompanies this box, listing ingredients, suggestions for use, and an explanation for the ethnic name.
This gift box features the following hand mixed seasonings:
Bridgeport Seasoning As early as the 1800s, this neighborhood was famous for its Irish heritage. Naturally, this seasoning is one of our best for potatoes. With its savory herb and cheese flavor, Bridgeport seasoning is also good on chicken or fish, eggs or steamed vegetables. Add to flour or breadcrumbs for tasty breaded chicken, chops or fish.
Back of the Yards Garlic-Pepper Butcher's Rub This mixture of coarser spices is known as a "butcher's rub," designed to flavor almost any meat. In addition to its wonderful garlic-pepper flavor, we have jazzed this blend up with some colorful green herbs and red bell peppers. A great grilling spice for any meat: chops, ribs, steaks, poultry. Besides being perfect for steaks, try it on broiled lake perch or even added to salad dressings.
Ukrainian Village Seasoning Our favorite all-purpose vegetable seasoning. A blend of the old-country standbys of black pepper, onion, salt, and garlic mixed with a touch of the new-country red and green bell peppers. Delicious on eggs and chicken, or in buttermilk/sour cream mixtures for ranch-style salad dressings. Great seasoning for potato salad. Roll new potatoes in oil and Ukrainian seasoning, and the potato skin becomes really delicious!
Pilsen Latino Seasoning Named for an area of Chicago with a strong Hispanic/Latino population, this blend has some zest! A good amount of chile pepper dominates this mixture, making it terric for salsa, chicken, beans, burritos, rice and beef.

Birth Control Health Center
Obstetricians Say Morning-After Pills Can Prevent Half a Million Abortions
Currently there are two emergency contraception products available. One, called Preven, is a combination of estrogen and progestin, and the other, called Plan B, contains only progestin. In each case two doses must be taken; the first dose should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, says Nelson.
But the sooner the pills are taken the better they work, says Nelson. "This is especially true with the progestin-only product since in at least one study when the first dose was taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex only one-half of 1% of the women taking it became pregnant. The failure rate increased to 4% when the pill was taken in the last 12 hours of the 72-hour window," she says.
Nelson, who has been spearheading the emergency contraception campaign for more than three years, tells WebMD that ACOG first asked its members to "write a prescription for emergency contraception every time they wrote a birth control pill prescription." She made that request in 1999, but "now we are kicking it up a notch by asking physicians to make this part of well-woman care."
It is a fact of life, says Nelson, that "accidents like broken condoms or other contraceptive failure are most likely to happen on Friday or Saturday nights. You know how difficult it is to reach your doctor over the weekend. Now imagine that you do make contact with the doctor, get the prescription, now you have to find a pharmacy to fill it. And all of this has to be done in 72 hours."
That approach, she says, often proves unworkable. A better way is to have the morning-after pills on the "medicine cabinet shelf next to the bandages. We don't expect a woman to wait until she cuts herself before she goes to the store to buy a bandage," she says. "We want emergency contraception to become as commonplace as first-aid kits."
Purdon says that ACOG, which represents more than 40,000 obstetricians and gynecologists, also supports making the pills available over-the-counter, but he says that he doubts the Bush administration would permit such a move.

Parents 'Asked To Pay For Text Books By Schools'
Posted at 8:20AM Monday 14 Apr 2014The Association of Teachers and Lecturers survey of 500 staff members in English, Welsh and Northern Irish schools found 26% of parents were asked for contributions for such items.
According to the survey, in 30% of cases, if parents cannot pay, the school makes up the difference.
But 43% of staff fear such requests put some pupils at a disadvantage.

Rocking the Rock LbNA # 23092 (ARCHIVED)

The Rocking and Crocking Series:
This box is part of the Rocking and Crocking series in Rockhill City Park in Columbia, MO. All the boxes let you scramble over the parks rocks to find letterboxes hidden in pottery crocks. Please treat the crocks with care, completely reseal them and replace them in upright position under the rock that shelters them. Then promptly log your find with LBNA at http://letterboxing.org .
Youll need the general instructions to the series, which are outlined in clues for Rocking the Bench.
The Rocking the Rock Clues:
From Kevins end of the bridge, walk downstream to where the trail divides and actually forms a small triangle. You will know you are on the right path when you see a small metal object that looks something like a robot. Children like to ask the robot for permission to pass, but you may just amble on to the creek small creek that trickles into the main stream. There is no bridge, but the trail crosses the small creek here and continues down the rocky main stream.
Its a pleasant walk among towering trees and the sedimentary rocks that give the park its name. Look closely at almost any flat rock and you will find fossils. Largely undeveloped for years, Rockhill was the 100-acre-wood for Columbia kids a generation ago. Now it is a playground for people like you.
Eventually you will come to a manmade structure a concrete bubble topped by a manhole. Dont sniff it too closely.
Your quest actually goes to the right, but first take the short detour straight ahead past the hockey puck with a snorkel to a hidden and unnamed lake on Hinkson Creek. Skip a stone across the lake or cast a line for fish. The Hinkson was once very polluted but is now in a 12-step program. As a result, it is alive with bass, perch, gar, turtles, snakes and other things that go splash. The sand at waters edge contain half-dollar sized clams.
But enough with this pastoral bliss. Go back to the trail intersection and take the branch that goes down Hinkson Creek. In winter, you walk in a valley of towering tree trunks. The rest of the year you pick your way through a veritable jungle. The trail twists and turns, sometimes hugging the creek and other times skirting another rock outcropping on the right.
About that outcropping: Tucked up in the cracks is an old Army ammo box known as the Rock Hill Geocache. Just look around until you see N 38° 56.466 W 092° 18.735. If you are into geoboxing, find the box, ink the face of one of the old toys in it and use it to stamp your logbook.
Onward. Remember the days when a tree, a stream and an old rope constituted a waterpark? Its still there, though the water quality may be a bit questionable. Look at the tree see a footprint? BJ did.
You are getting close. As you walk on, you will see the tattered stone-filled wire baskets (gabions) of the wing dam that creates the lake. Now for something really odd.
To the left of the trail (watch the slick clay!) and at the right wing of the dam is a car-sized stone that looks like a ship whose bow is sinking. Look closely. There are usually a dozen or so pretty stones or odd pebbles on it. Columbians stop at the rock and leave a favorite stone upon it. Why? You decide. But wed leave a stone if we were you. They all wash away in the next high water
If you look closely, you will find the trail doesnt end at the dam but continues up a bluff to the right. Hike about 20 yards up the trail. I shin-cracking root guards the trail just before it starts a bend sharply to the right. Stop just short of that root and check out that big rock that seems to be sitting on two stone pillars. The rock is full of nooks and crannies, creepies and crawlies -- and a special crock behind the right pillar.
Make sure you contact us by logging your find at LBNA. Wed love to hear how you enjoyed your hike.

I decided to try using the_post_format_image to grab the first image associated with a post and display it with the excerpt. However, if the post is a standard format it does not grab the first image - the entire post is displayed!
I'm not sure if I'm using the function as it was intended, but the description in media.php reads:
"Return the first image in the current (@global) post's content"
so I would expect only the first image found in the post to be rendered.

About the Book
"I honestly loved this book."
—Jim Norton, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Your Guts
"Eleanor taught Noelle that, first and foremost, Courage Takes Practice. Her yearlong quest to face her terrors, great and small, is moving, enriching, and hilarious—we readers are lucky to be along for the ride."
—Julie Powell, bestselling author of Julie & Julia
In the tradition of My Year of Living Biblically and Eat Pray Love comes My Year with Eleanor, Noelle Hancock's hilarious tale of her decision to heed the advice of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and do one thing a day that scares her in the year before her 30th birthday. Fans of Sloane Crosley and Chelsea Handler will absolutely adore Hancock's charming and outrageous chronicle of her courageous endeavor and delight in her poignant and inspiring personal growth.
After losing her high-octane job as an entertainment blogger, Noelle Hancock was lost. About to turn twenty-nine, she'd spent her career writing about celebrities' lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Unemployed and full of self-doubt, she had no idea what she wanted out of life. She feared change—in fact, she feared almost everything. Once confident and ambitious, she had become crippled by anxiety, lacking the courage required even to attend a dinner party—until inspiration struck one day in the form of a quote on a chalkboard in a coffee shop:
"Do one thing every day that scares you."
—Eleanor Roosevelt
Painfully timid as a child, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated herself to facing her fears, a commitment that shaped the rest of her life. With Eleanor as her guide, Noelle spends the months leading up to her thirtieth birthday pursuing a "Year of Fear." From shark diving to fighter pilot lessons, from tap dancing and stand-up comedy to confronting old boyfriends, her hilarious and harrowing adventures teach her about who she is, and what she can become—lessons she makes vital for all of us.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"It's a terrific book!" — Kathie Lee Gifford, The Today Show
"Poignant...hysterical...While there are plenty of books with women 'taking a year,' don't dismiss this one." — Forbes.com
"In this lighthearted and often funny memoir, Hancock...brings her experiences to vivid life and, through her interest in and compassion for Eleanor, is kinder to herself; there is plenty to entertain and inspire." — Publishers Weekly
"A charmingly candid memoir of the year a young journalist spent conquering her deepest fears.... Inspired, white-knuckled fun from start to finish." — Kirkus Reviews
"Whether she is confronting terrifying sharks in a diving cage or her tangled feelings about her boyfriend Matt, she demonstrates how thrilling it can be to face your fears. I double-dare you to read this book!" — Booklist
"Eleanor taught Noelle that, first and foremost, Courage Takes Practice. Her yearlong quest to face her terrors, great and small, is moving, enriching, and hilarious—we readers are lucky to be along for the ride." — Julie Powell, bestselling author of Julie & Julia
"Noelle Hancock makes an eloquent case for spending a year with Eleanor Roosevelt, but an even more persuasive one for spending 300 pages with Noelle Hancock. Her book is a fresh and funny delight." — Andy Borowitz
"Noelle Hancock joyfully shows us the exhilaration of confronting fear, whether that fear is jumping out of airplanes or having a committed relationship with another adult—or reading something longer than a tweet." — A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically
"Beneath the hilarious and heart-racing adventures of Noelle Hancock's year of fear is a wise and heartfelt book about becoming the person you've always wanted to be." — Jill A. Davis, New York Times bestselling author of Girls' Poker Night
"I honestly loved this book. It had all the qualities of great sex; intense, funny, and parts of it were so uncomfortable my palms were sweating." — Jim Norton, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Your Guts

How Far with SketchUp - Sculpturing?comments (8) December 17th, 2013 in blogs
I'm working on this modern style stand-up desk. The joinery and sculpturing are quite different than my normal 18th C. or Shaker styles. In this view, I'm not showing much of the sculpturing and shaping. And, it's worth discussing - should you spend the time in SketchUp performing this extra work.
In the case of this desk, the original piece rounds over the joints in the drawer opening. Also the stretchers are rounded and shaped to connect with the legs. My construction in the shop would be to connect square pieces as shown here, and then perform the shaping later with hand tools. I don't need the shaping in SketchUp. I need what it takes in rough lumber components to initially construct.
So the answer to how much to do in SketchUp, I would propose, depends on the purpose of the drawing. For me, the objective is producing a piece in shop, sculpturing in SketchUp is mostly a waste of time. And for me, performing this extra tedious work in SketchUp is substantial. It's much easier in the shop - With a file and spokeshave and my eyes, I can quite easily and quickly create suitable shapes.
In the following video, I will show my procedure for sculpturing the joints in the opening for the drawers. It's quite tedious with many steps. The clean-up after Intersecting was extreme. I can't go through all the steps because the video would take too long. So I'll discuss the steps involved.
Much of the process involves adding shaped components representing the rounding, and then doing an Intersection of all the graphics, with subsequent clean-up of the waste.
Here you can see the extra shapes added to the top of the tongue on the Rails, and the extra shapes added to the Side.
And here is the final assembly with the rounded joints.

If you send the file, I'll have a look and let you know whether there is an expedient result.

In the case you cite, I'm guessing there was a "non-intersecting" round-over of the Arm component edge -not so much "sculpturing" as I'm defining it. If so, I would include in the SketchUp model since this effort would be small and ensure that enough material is accommodated.

SOMERSWORTH — The state bomb squad was notified by the Somersworth Police Department after being made aware of a suspicious package placed near a gas line advisory pipe near the entrance of Sherwood Glen Trailer Park, along Backwater Road on Monday at 3 p.m.
"From far away it looked concerning," Police Capt. Russell Timmons said Wednesday.
Somersworth Police then conducted an on scene evaluation and based on experience and education, determined the package was a hoax, according to Timmons.
He said the package did possess the appearance of a homemade bomb, but did not have the capability of causing a type of explosion.
Timmons added it appeared someone was trying to scare citizens.
A witness indicated a vehicle was seen in the area before the package was detected. A new silver Mercedes Benz and a white van were observed. Police are asking community members to not approach any suspicious packages or other unknown device that may be out of place. Call the police immediately if you see that type of package.
Detectives are now handling the case, which Timmons says is still under investigation.

How AVATAR and THE CLONE WARS Influence GREEN LANTERN: TAS
Green Lantern: The Animated Series may be Giancarlo Volpe's first gig as show-runner, but his past work in animation certainly informed how he's building Hal Jordan and company's story and world.
In part one of our career-spanning interview with Volpe, we discussed his love for Green Lantern's deep mythology, and heard about Sinestro's role on the show (and why it was delayed to so late in the season), as well as revealing Ron Perlman as the voice actor portraying Jordan's greatest rival.
Today in part two we turn back the clock to discuss Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and how those two series directly influenced production of Green Lantern from its earliest stages.
Newsarama: Giancarlo, we started talking about the animation process last time. Obviously, Green Lantern: The Animated Series is not your first rodeo where animation is concerned. You had major roles in two other beloved animated series with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Star Wars: The Clone Wars!
Giancarlo Volpe: Yes!
What were some of the things you learned working on Avatar that you brought forward into your time here with Green Lantern?
Volpe: Well, Avatar was one of the highlights of my career, in terms of my overall job satisfaction and being excited and proud of what I was doing. I really loved how that show balanced everything in terms of, it had really dire stakes when it needed to, then it had comedy that was totally wacky, then it would turn around and have romance scenes, which isn't very common in animation, especially for "boys action" series.
The heartfelt moments, the characters were all really multi-dimensional. Everything was just so well executed. I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging! (laughs) But what I'm trying to say is that I really thought that the co-creators, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko got it really right. Also crediting Aaron Ehasz, the head writer on that show. I learned so much by being on that show, and seeing that all the stuff I loved about animation, especially about things like Miyazaki films, we were trying to emulate on Avatar, and seeing that it came together.
Nrama: I think what wound up being my favorite episode of the entire series is one you wrote a segment of, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se." I loved the concept of that episode, doing the individual short stories, taking a breather. That seems like something that would lend itself well to the Green Lantern Corps…
It's not a bad idea, the only thing that's tricky about that with our show, is that CG has such a stringent count on character models. So we'd have to be smart about how we told short stories, they'd have to involve characters and places that we've already seen. So what would happen if Saint Walker was on the Star Sapphire planet or something like that. Reusing sets and characters we already have, because it'd be really unwieldy to show, say the origins of all the main characters in one episode. We'd have to show these flashbacks with their parents, them younger, their homes and all of that stuff. That could get expensive for us! (laughs)
But it's not a bad idea! That episode of Avatar was a very interesting experiment. From my perspective, when they had the call for that, "who wants to write short stories for an episode?" Aaron Ehasz knew that we had to get to a point where a lot of crap hits the fan in Ba Sing Se. They didn't want it to happen until a certain episode. So, in so many words, the had an episode to kill. They didn't need to move the overall story forward for another episode, they needed for lack of a better word a "filler" episode, but they didn't want it to be a throw-away episode, they wanted it to be something special.
Nrama: Now of course, moving into Star Wars: The Clone Wars, seems like a little more of a direct influence on Green Lantern, being both CG and in space…
Volpe: Yeah, definitely.
Nrama: Do you think it was an essential step to prepare you for show running a series, especially a CG one?
Volpe: Yeah, it had a huge part in actually getting me the job on Green Lantern, that I had worked on CG before, where Warner Bros really hasn't, especially for television. So they were looking for someone with CG experience plus directing experience, which fit my résumé really well. The fact that it takes place in space was really a coincidence.
I always joked that I left Star Wars to make just another version of Star Wars! (laughs) When you think about the Jedi Order and the Green Lantern Corps they are very similar, in terms of policing the galaxy and all of that stuff.
Nrama: And Sinestro goes down the path of fear and evil and winds up using the reverse version of their "force" of power…Volpe: (laughs) Yeah! Yeah, and even the fact that we used the Red Lanterns, the Green Lanterns had their green power and the Red Lanterns had red, just like Jedi vs. Sith lightsabers. There were so many parallels I was almost reluctant, thinking, "Why am I leaving Star Wars to do another version of it?"
But writer/producer Jim Krieg is a huge Star Trek fan, so one of the things we did, we intentionally drew more from Star Trek story and character-wise to separate ourselves from Star Wars. That's why you get some of the Trek templates with some of our main characters, and even some of the stories we tell.
Volpe: Well, yeah. I do fundamentally believe that, kind of based on what you just said, that there are no true villains. I liked that, for example, Atrocitus is sympathetic once you've heard his story. I think that you could go to a prison today and if you really talk to a Death Row Inmate there's a possibility you could feel bad - or sympathize with a guy when you find out what happened in his life that caused him to commit that heinous crime.
I think that it's very useful fuel for storytelling to understand and relate to the villain. I think that if you do it right, you can make the characters sympathetic, which makes it harder to decide how things will unfold.
If you tell everything from a very childish standpoint of "good guys must stop bad guys," that's fine, but I like hearing the fans struggle with "well who's right in this situation? The Guardians really did destroy Atrocitus's home world. How does Hal Jordan make peace with that? Is it wrong for him to just beat up Atrocitus and throw him in jail?" So I was proud that we were able to weave that sort of stuff in, in the same way that Clone Wars has done that. They did it in a pretty crazy way where entire episodes, even entire trilogies of episodes would focus on the villains! (laughs)
Volpe: Yes, I did. That was one of the last things I did before I left. I did the Nightsisters trilogy, well part 1 and 3 of that, Kyle Dunlevy did the middle one.
Nrama: Are you still watching the show then?
Volpe: I am actually a bit behind! I have been watching though, I'm about 8 episodes behind right now, so maybe they've shown a bit more with that, I don't really know!
Come back Friday January 18, 2013 for the final part of our interview with Giancarlo Volpe as he discusses the origins of Aya, the use and portrayal of Red Lanterns, and hints at what (and who) we'll be seeing the rest of the season on Green Lantern: The Animated Series!Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

Submitted to: Phytopathology
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: December 12, 2003
Publication Date: September 1, 2004
Citation: Hill, C.B., Hobbs, H.A., Hartman, G.L. 2004. Variability in green stem incidence among soybean cultivars. Phytopathology; 2004. Technical Abstract: Green stem is a disorder of soybean (Glycine max Merr.) that when prevalent in a soybean field, complicates harvesting by making the stems harder to cut. The cause of green stem is unknown. Incidence of green stem (percentage of plants with green stem) in several hundred commercial cultivars was evaluated in Illinois state yield trials during 2000-2002. Data was collected from trials at Urbana, Illinois in 2000 and 2001. There were highly significant differences among cultivars for green stem incidence (P < 0.001). In 2002, data was collected at three locations: Dekalb, Monmouth, and Urbana, Illinois. Mean incidence was 30% at Monmouth, 19% at Dekalb, and 9% at Urbana. Again, differences among cultivars for green stem incidence were highly significant (P < 0.001), indicating that there was genetic variability for resistance to green stem among the cultivars. Public cultivars with high green stem incidence included Macon, Maverick, Pana, and Williams 82, while Dwight, Loda, and Savoy had low incidence. A summary of the incidence of green stem in commercial cultivars is online at http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vips.
