The Procorrelation System (PCS) obtains a high-quality correlation between die failures on a premanufactured recorded correlation wafer and the test equipment setup for the current wafer lot. PCS greatly reduces analysis time and test cost, compared with conventional full-wafer probing and offers significant benefits for deep-submicron ICs.

- This article is about the continent. For the planet, see Tyria (world). For the achievement category, see Tyria (achievements).
Tyria, also known as Central Tyria, is a continent in the world of the same name. The geography of the continent ranges from the dense jungles of the Maguuma, to high mountains of the Shiverpeaks, to forests of the Blood Legion Homelands and Ascalon, to the sandy Crystal Desert. Beneath the land stretch the interconnected caverns of the Depths of Tyria which hold ancient structures of unknown origins that date back to a time before humanity. Over ten thousand years ago, the Great Giants once roamed the land. Before all recorded history, the Elder Dragons roamed - whether before or during the time of the Giganticus Lupicus is still unknown. And over a thousand years ago, before the exodus, the human gods lived in the continent of Tyria. Throughout the ages, the continent has changed - from seas turning to deserts, to sinking kingdoms and scorching lands, to flooding cities, and to deserts turning green by diverted rivers - and may continue to change.
Tyria and the surrounding islands are divided into several major regions. The most important are:
- Ascalon: Ascalon was once a great human kingdom but after The Searing and Charr Invasion humans were almost wiped out of Ascalon. Hundreds of years later the scorched ground of Ascalon has begun to flourish again. The ghost army cursed by the Foefire plague Ascalon and the Dragonbrand of Kralkatorrik scar the land.
- Kryta: A lush and green area rich with fertile soil. Found in the central-western area of the continent, the kingdom and its people are currently the only human-settlement to prosper where all others have perished. Despite this, its countryside is raided by marauding centaurs. Refugees come from all over the known world to the safe haven of Divinity's Reach.
- Maguuma Jungle: A dense jungle found in the western area of the continent. It is full of strange species found nowhere else in Tyria, and divided into three sub-regions - Heart of Maguuma, Maguuma Wastes, and Tarnished Coast.
- Shiverpeak Mountains: A giant mountain chain that acts as a divider running north to south, between Ascalon and Kryta. It holds three sub-regions - the Deldrimor Front, Far Shiverpeaks and Steamspur Mountains.
- Ruins of Orr: The peninsula in the very south ascended from beneath the sea as the elder dragon Zhaitan rose. In the past it was the residence of the gods and the oldest human kingdom, today it is a wasteland.
- Sea of Sorrows: This body of water is Tyria's Mare Internum.
|The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Tyria.

The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
The Golden Compass Chapter 5 Summary
The Cocktail Party
- Lyra hangs out with Mrs. Coulter in London, where they visit the Royal Arctic Institute, have fancy lunches and teas, shop, and go to the theater.
- Mrs. Coulter also begins to teach Lyra geography and math, since Lyra's education at Jordan College has been a bit patchy.
- Wanting to show she knows at least something, Lyra mentions Dust to Mrs. Coulter. Her daemon's hair stands on end at the very mention of it. Mrs. Coulter asks Lyra where she heard about Dust, and Lyra tells her she overheard the word at Jordan College.
- Pan later tells Lyra that Mrs. Coulter held on tight to her daemon until her knuckles "went white" when Lyra said the word "Dust" (5.18). Pan was afraid the golden monkey was going to pounce on Lyra.
- Lyra learns how to be a woman from Mrs. Coulter: how to put on makeup and be feminine.
- Autumn turns to winter, and Mrs. Coulter decides to give a party. Lyra is to help her plan it.
- Lyra and Pan quarrel a bit because Pan doesn't like Mrs. Coulter and feels cooped up there in her apartment. He says Mrs. Coulter is keeping Lyra as a pet and never intends to go North. Lyra itches to go North as well.
- On the day of the party, Lyra and Mrs. Coulter have an argument about whether Lyra can carry a white shoulder bag. Lyra wants to carry it because it's where she secretly keeps the alethiometer.
- Things get nasty, and Mrs. Coulter's daemon grabs Pan. When Lyra slams the door to her room, Mrs. Coulter flies in and dresses her down.
- After the outburst, Mrs. Coulter instantly reverts back to all sweetness and light. Creepy. Lyra's opinion of Mrs. Coulter starts to change.
- Lyra makes chitchat at the party. She overhears a male scholar telling a younger woman about Dust, and Rusakov Particles. The two are flirting, and the man is trying to impress the woman. He mentions that Mrs. Coulter is the head of the Oblation Board.
- The man includes Lyra in the conversation, and she learns that the Oblation Board is the name for the Gobblers: "General Oblation Board" (5.76). Whoa. Mrs. Coulter is the head of the Gobblers?
- The scholar also mentions that the idea for the Oblation Board goes back to the Middle Ages, when parents would send their children (oblates) to be sacrifices to the church. The kids would become nuns or monks.
- The woman pulls Lyra aside and starts to question her. Her name is Adele Starminster, and she's a journalist. She doesn't get very far with her questions, though, before Mrs. Coulter sees her and breaks up the conversation.
- Mrs. Coulter threatens the woman, and she leaves.
- Pan sees the golden monkey coming out of Lyra's room. He's afraid the monkey knows about the alethiometer.
- Lyra is called aside to have a conversation with Lord Boreal. Feeling "rebellious and uneasy," Lyra pretends to know about Dust, Rusakov Particles, and the Oblation Board (5.121).
- Lord Boreal seems to think that Mrs. Coulter has let Lyra in on their project. He tells Lyra a little more about the Oblation Board – the children, for example, are necessary. Hmm. In what way?
- Lyra overhears other things at the party: namely, that Lord Asriel has been captured and is being held in Svalbard by panserbjørne (armored bears).
- Lyra and Pan are pretty freaked out by everything they've heard at this party, and Lyra decides they must leave. Pan acts as lookout while she packs some money and puts on warm clothes.
- When Pan gives the signal, the two sneak out the front door of the flat.

Georgia Bulldogs and Lunch Boxes
Tommy had to leave a little early today so David , Crofford , and I did what we do. We filled in like professionals. OK ,OK you can stop the laughing. I said that was enough. Besides we had guests. Julia Hamra from Blue Coast Burritto stopped by to say hello.
Tuesdays with Bruce James. That sounds like a coffee table book. It would have to be a big table. I commented that Bruce James has a bigger upper torso, chest to be specific, bigger than most queen size mattresses. He laughed at that. Actually David Bazzel laughed at that and Mr. Bruce 'Razorback All-American' James looked at me with pity. I've seen that look so I am familiar with it. We had this Arkansas legend from the 1969 Shootout talking about the upcoming game between the Hogs and the Georgia Bulldogs, our mascot Tusk running on the field,some trivia, and get this, lunch boxes. He gave me that look again. By the way, he had a Roy Rogers lunch box.

San Jose's Aly Wagner, among the best female soccer players to come out of the South Bay, has retired after struggling with injuries the past three years.
The midfielder on Monday announced the end of her 10-year career with the U.S. national team, which included playing in the 2003 and '07 World Cups and the 2004 and '08 Olympics.
"I mentally knew I was going to retire after last season, but I just sat on it to make sure it was the right decision," Wagner said.
Wagner, 29, played with the Los Angeles Sol of Women's Professional Soccer last year but was set back by injuries.
She had returned to the Olympic team in 2008 after undergoing a sports hernia surgery that never fully healed. Wagner also suffered from torn cartilage in a hip joint and arthritis in the pubic joint.
"Since 2007 I have been putting Band-Aids on the injuries," she said. "No one helped me figure out how to get over it. When you can't train as hard as you want and you have to kind of just get by, it's not enjoyable and not rewarding."
Wagner, who lives in San Jose, led Santa Clara University to its only NCAA Division I title in 2001 and won the Hermann Trophy as college soccer's top player in 2002. She also was Gatorade national player of the year as a senior at Presentation High in 1998.
Her fondest memory is Santa Clara's College Cup victory, even more than winning the Olympic gold medal at the Athens Games.
"It was such a huge goal of mine to beat North Carolina," said Wagner, who scored the lone goal to defeat the Tar Heels in the final.

Cal Quantrill was the captain of his high school hockey team in Ontario, Canada. But the 6-foot-3, 185-pound freshman at Stanford was born with the genes of a hurler.
His father, Paul, was a pitcher in the major leagues for 13 seasons, splitting time with seven teams.
"I miss hockey," Quantrill said. "That was my sport for a long time, but I got tall and skinny so I had to find something a little more appropriate."
The transition to the mound was a natural fit for Cal, who grew up around MLB clubhouses.
"I got to play catch with Carlos Delgado," said Quantrill, who was a bat boy for the Los Angeles Dodgers. "He tried to teach me how to hit before I realized that I was a born-and-bred pitcher."
Being the son of a famous father can be a burden, but Quantrill doesn't shy away from the fact his dad played for teams such as the Toronto Blue Jays, Dodgers and New York Yankees, who drafted Cal out of high school in the 26th round.
"I'm never going to be tired about talking about dad," Quantrill said. "He's made a huge difference in my life, both baseball and coming to Stanford. Obviously, it's helpful having a pitching coach growing up in your home all the time. That being said, it's been good to kind of separate and do my own thing, too. Take what he's taught me and what (Stanford pitching) coach (Rusty) Filter has given me over the course of the year and create something good."
Quantrill became the first freshman on The Farm to start opening day since Mike Mussina in 1988. He's also the first freshman to claim the role of Friday night starter since 1995.
"The last one I remember was Kyle Peterson," Stanford coach Mark Marquess said. "Mussina wasn't, even here. It's very unusual."
The ace of the staff, Quantrill has an arsenal of four pitches: fastball, change-up, slider and curveball.
The right-hander inherited the role of Friday night starter from Mark Appel, who was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick last year. All Quantrill has done is compile a 7-5 record and 2.69 ERA over 100-plus innings.
But he doesn't want to be compared to ghosts from Stanford's past.
"All those guys, Mark Appel and Mike Mussina, the list goes on, they're people to look up to," Quantrill said. "But they're not people to try and replicate. I think that we all have to try and do our own thing. And if it turns out that you're able to compete and do as well, that's awesome. But I'm a different pitcher than they were."
One reason is the hockey mentality that has translated into the diamond.
"I owe a lot of how I'm doing now to hockey," said Quantrill, who was primarily a blueliner. "Being competitive, I guess being tough and being angry. It makes a big difference."
Quantrill threw a four-hitter in his postseason debut, an 8-1 victory against Indiana State on Friday.
After two days of rest, he came out of the bullpen to toss 2 1/3 innings of relief in the dramatic 4-3 victory over host Indiana that sent the Cardinal through to this weekend's Super Regional at Vanderbilt.
"I think playoff baseball is different," Quantrill said. "The whole year you're playing on a week's rest and that's fine, but come playoff time everyone has to do what they can to get in the game. I did it throughout high school, it's not a big deal."
"He's a throwback," Marquess said. "He doesn't ice his arm after he pitches. He throws all the time. ... He'll pitch Friday, he'll throw 100 pitches, he'll come to me every Sunday and say to me, 'Coach, I've got a couple of innings for you.' I'm not going to do that, but he's a throwback. He wanted to start the game Monday. I said, 'You're not starting the game Monday. Maybe if we're ahead late you can pitch.' That's unusual nowadays."
Does that make him Stanford's enforcer?
"I don't know about that," said Quantrill, who leaves that role to a reliever. "We've got a big boy named Sam Lindquist who does that job."

HEPHZIBAH, Ga--"I don't know, it's indescribable right now. I've been working for this for 18 years and it's finally come true. I'm ready to go, that's the main thing, I'm ready to go, give me my ticket you know." said Casio Grider
It is the dream of every kid that ever played little league baseball, get drafted and play in the big league. For Hephzibah's Casio Grider, he's taken a big step in living the dream.
Yesterday, the former Rebel was drafted in the 14th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. To say he was on cloud nine after hearing his name called would be like saying it gets hot in the summer time. I think Grider's mom's car says it all. Grider played at a junior college then the last couple at Newberry. He seriously thought a friend of his was pulling his leg when he was drafted.
"Actually I was like maybe someone is going to call me and say well, we were just kidding" said Casio Grider "I had to look on line and I saw my name up there, Casio Grider, 14th round. I had to believe it. I jumped around the house, ran around the corner, people thought I was crazy, it's fine"
Grider is a shortstop and isn't sure when exactly he'll be headed out west to sign on the dotted line. We'll keep ya posted.

I'm presuming that is what is left in memory after startup. I have no
precise measurements but there is 30 - 60 MB of RAM that is recovered that
is never swapped back in after running allocmem.
Certainly forcing all pages of memory to disk slows down startup both
during the program run and after to swap back in what is actually needed
after startup is finished. Recovering at least 30 MB of RAM is worth it to me.

Hey there all you frustrated parents! Are you tired of your budding young Einsteins coming home from school with 50 lbs of books, homework assignments and C- test grades? Of course you are. I feel your pain. Something is amiss.
You'd think that after seven hours of in-class instruction coupled with four more hours of homework… yeah I know, it's only supposed to take thirty minutes… our little Whiz Kids would be whizzes not computer game addicts and academic morons.
So what gives? I've got it! Maybe our schools have not been wasting enough money on high tech gizmos and gadgets.
Well there's hope my friends. It's called the Smart Board. Imagine that. But it's all true! Step right up and your school can flush away thousands of dollars on a whole bevy of Smart Boards, the hot new educational scam.
What is so "smart" about the Smart Board? I see you are confused Mrs. Griswold. Let me show you the light. The Smart Board is "interactive!" It does everything your kid cannot do. It can even mimic your little darling's sloppy penmanship at the touch of a finger. It can add two fractions together! Will wonders never cease? All you have to do is touch the screen and it does all the work for you. Scooter loves his computer I see. Hey, the Smart Board is right up his cordless mouse. To put it simply the Smart Board is a lot like a real computer projected onto that obsolete white board overlooking and intimidated the little tykes. W.O.W! World Of Warcraft fans will love it.
And here's the best part. Hold onto your iPhones! The Smart Board can do everything… yes I said everything… that old-fashioned whiteboard can do! It can even make the totally incompetent "teacher" appear to be competent, without the unpleasant side effects of actual teaching! I can see the eager look in your eyes. You ask; how can my school get a Smart Board?
For a piddling cash outlay several times larger than the value of Jay Leno's car collection, your school can be the envy of the district with a Smart Board in every classroom! Chuck those cost efficient whiteboards and smelly markers! Eject those notebooks and pencils! Time to start a fundraiser!
My son's school has not one but seven Smart Boards! Envious? You should be. That's the idea. And now the PTA has sent out personalized letters, with attached envelopes begging for money to buy an additional thirty-two Smart Boards. They are "shooting for the moon!" The goal is to have a Smart Board in every classroom.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Okay… let's calculate the waste here. On the island where we are marooned, one Smart Board installed and ready to rock only costs US $5,406! Chicken feed! Thirty-two of the little babies come to a paltry sum of US $172,992. Okay, okay. That is cheaper than Jay Leno's car collection. I'm sold! Krimoney you can snag a good repossessed ranch home in Tujunga, California for that!
But… uh… aren't we in a worldwide depression? Don't the classrooms already have white boards for the teachers to actually write on? Wouldn't a real teacher simply ignore the Smart Board and "teach?" Do these high fallutin' Smart Boards actually improve the learning of our kids? Ah… good question!
My best guess as a parent, a former teacher who comes from a family of teachers and my biggest qualification of all… a former student… is; NO! Smart Boards will do nothing to improve learning. They are Stupid Boards… at least for the schools. They are brilliant ideas for the Educational Garbage Industry. Folks will throw money away hand over fist for new fangled gadgets with lots of bells and whistles faster than a drunken gambling addict at the craps table in Las Vegas when it comes to their precious little Preciouses. There's gold in them thar schoolrooms!
However, let's not go on my opinion alone. I checked in with two experts on classroom learning. The first was noted educational writer and classroom teacher with decades of experience, Linda Schrock-Taylor. She concurs with me. Her view was well put: "When will the schools learn that more manipulatives between the info and the brain causes learning retention problems!" You betcha. Overload the learning brains with stimulus and they will shut down. The more complicated you make the wheel; the more things there are to go wrong. Just go out and look at all the crap under the hood of your cars. Think they're going to last as long as an air-cooled VW? Nope. Will these $5K Smart Boards last as long as that white board? Nope. How often do you have to trash your computer and buy a new one, every two years? Are Smart Boards subject to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death? How long do you think those Smart Boards are going to hold up before they will need to be sent to the landfill… where they actually belong… and replaced at another huge expense?
Okay, so on to expert number two… my teenage son. He's actually been exposed to the miracles of the Smart Board. I asked him if he liked it and what he thought. With sugarcoated tact he was honest: "It's a huge waste of money."
Hey! I like this scam all the more! Maybe I can upgrade what's left of my portfolio and invest in Smart Boards.
On the other hand, maybe I'm being hasty with my cynicism. Maybe I should get with the program and support the PTA Smart Board drive. After all, I have a personalized letter and a donation envelope. And one cannot stop progress or a good snake oil salesman. The local PTA needs money… lots of money. Who am I to deny them? There must be something important about purchasing thirty-two Smart Boards. Oh… here it is in the letter! They want to be "the first school on the island to have a Smart Board in every classroom!!"
Oh… Now I get it! This has nothing to do with education. Silly me. It's all about status. Well that is a worthy cause. A heap of expensive Smart Boards will really rub our elitist status in the noses of the other schools. Why not drop the pretense of… and I shudder at the thought… "education" and raise money for something even better? How about a polo field complete with well-trained polo ponies? Ok, we'll get the Smart Boards this year and the polo field next year.
Sorry, I didn't get it at first. I guess it's time for me to sit in the corner with the dunce cap on. After all, I don't know how to think since I wasn't educated with Smart Boards. I thought the important thing was education not status. I was wrong. That's my two cents worth. I'll be more than happy to help out and donate it to the PTA Smart Board drive.

Someone should step in and do something about this, as we, tax-paying citizens, are providing money for these boards. Down here in the south, some "Einstein" thought it would be a great idea to start an initiative to put a smart board in every room of each elementary school. You tell me, why would a kindergarten class need a smart board? Is a smart board really necessary in an elementary school? It's an outrage. And after wasting thousands and thousands of dollars we are sitting here wondering why the public education system here in the U.S is one of the lowest in the developed world.
a frustrated person said:
I go to middle school and the whole school just finished putting a smart board in every classroom. My school has about a hundred classrooms, and I am not exadurating at all. About a week ago there was a power out and just about every single stupid board in the school blew out and the school actually spent thousands of dollars to replace them! Along with that, like IS said, we are being taxed to pay for these retarded things, and, I know that this is irrevilant, but the reason our taxis are so high and it is all going to waste is because politicions don't care. They don't ahve to pay taxes. They don't have to pay social seccurity or health insurance or any of it for the rest of their lives as long as they were a politician for a set amount of years. They all get payed a crazy amount of money and are rich. Some of them say what the hell, it doesn't affect us so lets boost the taxes so we could donate it all to an opposing country. Then lets gived the rest to huge corperations, and say that the government is running out of money so that we could rase the taxes even hight. Others are just so rich and out of touch that they think that everyone has the amount of money to afford all this. One politician was asked what he thought was a middle class citizen, and he said anyone who takes home (not incuding what was taxed off) under a million dollars a year!!!!! The government is so out of touch they don't even give a **** about anyone except themselves.

There are many reasons why people decide to engage in online dating. Maybe you're too busy to go out on the weekends, maybe you like to learn something about someone before you even talk to them, or maybe you've tried everything else and feel like this is the best option for you. Whatever the reason, the online dating scene has become an extremely popular way to meet new people.
Jeremy Dean, the author of PsycBlog, recently wrote this interesting article about a study conducted which identified a few common motivations that people have when dating online. The moral of the story: "be aware that not everyone's motivations are as pure (or as debased) as your own."
If you liked that article, check out this other article (which is hilarious) about how NOT to approach someone when dating online.

NEW DELHI: India will likely provide the biggest increase to the global labour force over the next decade, adding an additional 110 million workers by 2020, a study said Wednesday.
The rise in workers is equivalent to the current combined population of Britain and South Korea.
The projection for India contrasts with forecasts by the International Labour Organisation that China's labour force will increase by just 15 million over the next decade while Japan's will fall by three million.

I am a Senior Systems Integrator with CollabraSpace, Inc. I am working in a contracted position serving an intelligence agency within the Department of Defense. My position entails meeting with customers from various sites, world wide, collecting their system and software requirements, and then constructing the best, most efficient IT solution. This solution provides them with the network capability and system functionality they need to complete their daily, vital jobs. IT support for our customer begins at the requirements gathering stage and follows through to design of the system solution, deployment of IT hardware and then customer support and application maintenance following the deployment. The ideal situation would be that the identical IT solution would work for each site we support. In actuality, that is rarely the case. Each site provides unique IT challenges that must be addressed before equipment and manpower can be allocated to each location.
My mathematical background has taught me how to approach these challenges in a logical fashion. I use my learned problem solving skills to respond, adapt and successfully address any problems or glitches that arise. Confidence in these skills helps me to keep my cool and think clearly even in highly stressful and time critical situations. All this ensures that our customers are happy customers, but more importantly, that they can perform their jobs, which in some cases, support our military, and in all cases, help to ensure our nation's security.

Police coach Sam Ssimbwa
TKFL, Saturday
Marines vs. AS Kigali [Umuganda]
Police vs. Rayon Sports [Stade de Kigali]
Arch rivals Police and Rayon Sports face each other in a rivarly derby in the second leg tie of the Turbo King Football League match due on Sunday at Stade de Kigali.
Rayon Sport Coach Luc Eymael
This is will be the first match for Sam Ssimbwa against coach Luc Eymael who took over from Didier Gomes da Rosa last month.
Ssimbwa knows well his opponent having beaten them 2-1 in the first leg and he will be eager to snatch another win to be able to close gap on leaders APR who stand 12 points ahead of the Cops side.
Rayon will be playing their second match after being dumped out of the Caf Champions league against AC Leopards de Dolisie in the preliminary round last week.
Mid this week, they beat Amagaju 2-0 courtesy of goals from strikers Meddie Kagere and Cedric Amissi to go three points behind leaders APR.
Clubs' admirers full of tension are eagerly waiting to know who will win after the normal 90 minutes of the game. Both sides will be forced to work hard to avoid any slip-ups because anything short of a win for either side will benefit the military side.
Police head coach Ssimbwa who will be missing suspended striker Jacques Tuyisenge and defender Amani Uwilingiyimana expects his side to play to the open, attacking game if his side is to overcome the task at hand.
Ssimbwa once said, "If you cant beat top clubs like APR and Rayon Sports, then you should not be able to win the league title,"
"I've told the lads to play our usual style to ensure that we win. We must not lose more points following our loss to APR in the last fixture,"
"We definitely need to take our chances better. We must get certain efforts on target: you have to score when you have those chances," said the Ugandan.
Striker Jerome Sina will be facing his former club for the first side since he signed for Police early this year. He never impressed in Police's last fixture but the Ugandan tactician believes Sina will hit his top form..
Belgian Rayon Sport coach Luc Eymael who is taking nothing for granted means a win against Police could be crucial.
"For the moment we're three points behind APR and we could close the gap if we win our game in hand against Police, although we still need to play that match,"
"The Champions league is a closed chapter for us now and our mind is on the league chapter again: it's crucial that we beat Police on Sunday," added Eymael.
Early weekend game
Africa Confederation Cup hopefuls AS Kigali head to Western Province to hosts Marines in one of the matches which was rescheduled to their participation in the continental club championship were they eliminated Academie Tchite of Burundi.
Coach Andre Gasambungo is optimistic his side will carry on from where they stopped before competing in the Caf competitions.
"We are ready for the task and I am convinced we will score away. Every player has recovered and they are ready for the battle," added Gasambungo.
AS Kigali are sixth with 31 points while Marines stand eleventh with 13 points respectively.
AS Kigali will travel to AS Muhanga next Wednesday for Match 18 rescheduled match before switching focus to the first leg of Champions league first round clash against Ahly Shandy of Sudan on March 2 in Kigali.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — I went to a hockey game and a star-spangled shock broke out.
Not since 1960 had a U.S. team defeated Canada in an Olympic hockey tournament. Sunday night, it happened again in a most unlikely setting — the home team's home rink at the Winter Games.
Playing just faster enough and just stronger enough, the younger Americans defeated favored Canada 5-3 in a preliminary-round game. The U.S. team took roughly half as many shots (23 to 45) but made them count. And goalie Ryan Miller was beyond outstanding.
"I thought we ran into a hot goalie," said Patrick Marleau, the Sharks forward playing in his first Olympics for Canada. "And the USA fired it up from the start."
In this Olympic-mad city, citizens were pointing toward the U.S.-Canada matchup on ice as the weekend's premier event. Super Sunday, they were calling it. When you wind up on an elevator before the game with actor Donald Sutherland — not to name-drop or anything — you know that you're at the hot-ticket event.
And once it began, with flags from both countries creating virtual wallpaper in the arena's lower bowl, the noise could be heard all the way to Alaska.
"It was an awesome atmosphere," said Team USA and Sharks forward Joe Pavelski. "It was right up there with any NHL playoff game."
Except that when Pavelski is in a playoff game in San Jose, he wins or loses with his Sharks teammates. Sunday, he was playing against four of them on the Canadian roster: Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley and Dan Boyle.
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson was taking in the game with his son and conceded he was rooting for his native Canada but is proud of all his men.
"I'm here as a hockey fan," Wilson said. "I love seeing best on best. And I'm proud of our guys that they worked their butts off to put themselves here."
Pavelski now will have bragging rights over the four Canadian Sharks, at least for a few days. The two teams could meet again in the elimination round, which begins Tuesday. But the bottom line is, before Sunday the United States was not considered a credible threat to win a gold medal. Now the threat is very credible.
Among other things, the victory sets up the U.S. team with a bye into the quarterfinals and a favorable matchup against a weaker team, probably Slovakia or Switzerland.
And the hopes of the home team? Canada clubbed. Well, not totally. But now the Great White Northerners have to play an extra game against pushover Germany to reach the quarterfinals — where the opponent almost surely will be Russia, which might be the best team here.
What that means is, either Canada or Russia will not win a medal here, because only one of those teams can reach the semifinals.
If you're Canada, you have this question: What happened against a brash U.S. team that was supposed to be at a talent disadvantage?
"Besides the fact that they scored more goals than we did, you mean?" asked Marleau, who had more shots on goal (six) than any other Canadian player but could not get the puck past Miller.
Canada coach Mike Babcock initially sent out the Sharks line — Marleau, Thornton and Heatley — as his fourth unit and played them only six shifts in the first period, but he increased the group's minutes as the game progressed. Miller stopped Marleau at point-blank range once and sealed off his jam-it-in attempt in the final minutes.
Heatley did get one of Canada's goals as the teams were tied 2-2 halfway through the second period. But the Americans' legs seemed fresher after that, and the United States built a 4-2 lead on goals by Chris Drury and Jamie Langenbrunner. Canada closed it to 4-3 with less than four minutes left on a goal by star Sidney Crosby. But Miller fended off last-minute desperation shots.
"We've got a great goaltender, and guys were blocking shots in front of him," Pavelski said. "At the end, it was kind of one shift at a time, keep them short, keep going. We bent, but we didn't break."
The clincher occurred when U.S. forward Ryan Kesler made a highlight-reel play on an empty-net goal, chasing down a cleared puck and diving to poke it away from Canada's Corey Perry and sending it in for the fifth goal.
"What this means now," Marleau said, "is we have to win, basically. We just have to keep winning from here on. That's pretty much it."
And that is pretty much a stunner.

Tevye the Dairyman
by Sholem Aleichem
Tevye the Dairyman The Great Windfall Summary
- With a long wind-up about fate and God's will, and his usual crazy quilt of Torah quotes, Tevye lets his listener know that he's about to tell the story of how he became a dairyman.
- About ten years ago, he and his family were super poor—like, sometimes-not-enough-to-eat level poor.
- Tevye worked as a woodcutter, basically a freelance guy who chops up wood in the forest and then sells it to construction companies.
- Tevye has no idea how the big change came about, but as he never stops repeating, it was obviously all because of God's big plan. How does he know it was God's plan? Because if God wanted it some other way, it would be some other way. Logic FTW.
- So anyway, one day, after his log delivery, Tevye is riding through the woods on his wagon, thinking about his miserable wife and children, and having a conversation with God about why the Jews have it so rough.
- (Incidentally, he does this kind of back and forth with God a lot. As Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof sums it up: "God, I know we're the Chosen People—but couldn't you sometimes choose someone else?")
- Out of nowhere he runs into two women. Turns out they're lost in the woods, and ask him directions to Boiberik, the rich resort town nearby.
- He tells them that road they're on will lead to Boiberik… if they just stay on it for a long, long time. So they ask for a ride, even though he's headed in the opposite direction.
- After some back-and-forth, he agrees. As they start riding, Tevye realizes regretfully that he didn't set a price ahead of time. Well, he thinks, at least I'm a good person.
- Sure, try making that excuse to your wife and starving children.
- On the road, it turns out that the women are coming from Yehupetz, the fancy town near Tevye's little village, and that they're connected to a wealthy family.
- Tevye can practically hear the reward money rolling in.
- When they get to the dacha (summer house) where the women are staying, everyone is totally relieved to see them.
- They celebrate with a huge spread of the most amazing food Tevye has ever seen. (We're guessing that it doesn't take much to impress a starving woodcutter.)
- He hangs out while they eat until they finally remember their manners and offer him a place at the table. But he mentions his hungry family back home, so instead they pack him up lots of stuff to take back with him.
- Not only that, but every person there chips in money to pay him for the trouble.
- Not only that, but he discovers that they have fed and rested his horse.
- And not only that, but the hostess gives Tevye one of their milk cows!
- He is totally overwhelmed by all the awesomeness.
- Tevye gets home in the middle of the night and wakes up his wife Golde, and all his kids to have a midnight feast.
- Later, Tevye shows Golde all the money—37 rubles. We know this is a lot, because earlier he said that one lucky rich guy he knows makes somewhere between 20-40 rubles a week.
- After brainstorming a bazillion crazy schemes, Tevye and Golde decide to double down and buy another milk cow. With two, they'll be able to make enough dairy products to sell.
- Tevye also has the brilliant idea to become a door-to-door dairy delivery man, since all the fancy rich people in Yehupetz are all about convenience and would probably love a daily dairy service.
- If Amazon could hack a daily dairy service, we'd be all over that.

Thousands ditch Easter plans to get muddy, test endurance
By Kevin Amerman, Of The Morning Call
April 20, 2014
Matt Pierson of Havertown, Delaware County usually spends Easter Sundays relaxing at his grandmother's house — picking candy from Easter baskets and chowing down a ham dinner. "It's usually pretty chill," Pierson said. "It's the total opposite of today. " While Pierson, 26, is usually chilling on Easter, he was just plain chilly this year. And muddy. And exhausted by the end. Dressed in a banana costume, Pierson was one of 15,000 people who flocked to Pocono Raceway in Long Pond this weekend to take part in Tough Mudder, an 11.6-mile run filled with 25 obstacles that challenge the strength and tolerance of the runners.
Candy-free Easter baskets you can make SWEET!

A tisket, a tasket, a catnip and Kitty Kaviar-filled Easter basket. No? Would you consider a bottle of Moroccan olive oil? Silly Putty? For those of you trying to be mindful of sugar intake, there are alternatives to creating candy-filled baskets, especially if yours are starting to rival Halloween hauls. The tradition of Easter baskets, nests filled with straw and real eggs, has been around a long time, courtesy of the Pennsylvania Dutch, but chocolate bunnies and jelly beans are a modern custom.
Baking with Peeps: Bethlehem-made candy adds pop to Easter desserts
By Kathy Lauer-Williams, Of The Morning Call
April 13, 2014
Peeps have been melted in s'mores, chopped up in cookies and dunked in drinks. Cooks have invented ways to use them in recipes since the chick-shaped marshmallow treats were introduced by Bethlehem candy maker Just Born in 1953. The company realized in the 1980s that about a third of Peeps were bought for reasons other than for Easter baskets - such as for use in recipes and decorations. So Just Born is happy to share customers' recipes that also make for good family projects.

Children can plant grass and watch it grow in their Easter baskets
By Diane Stoneback Of The Morning Call
March 9, 2002
Here's an Easter project that will be a bunny-stopper. After all, tucking Easter candy and eggs into baskets filled with ordinary yellow, pink, green and blue "grass" can get boring, to say nothing of messy. That's why the Big Bunny surely will pause when he sees this basket that's filled with a blanket of real grass. He might be so excited that he'll even drop a few extra "goodies" into the specially-made basket. TO MAKE LITTLE GARDEN EASTER BASKET To make this very special basket, line it with a plastic storage bag that has been cut to fit. Fill the basket about 3/4 full with the potting soil.

Weather Erosion
The Morning Call
February 26, 1986
Because of the effects of changes in the weather - snow, rain, cold and warm - you have to use your imagination a bit to see that this seven-foot-tall snow sculpture in the yard of Stanley Leininger of Weatherly R.1 is an Easter rabbit. The snow-basket next to it, big enough to hold a couple of children and all their Easter baskets, might be a giveaway, though.

How To Get Rid Of Ink Stamps On Eggs
By Diane Stoneback Of The Morning Call
April 8, 2009
Coloring eggs for Easter? Don't panic if you discover the eggs each have a "use by" or "best by" date etched or stamped on their surfaces. You can solve the problem. For laser-etched eggs: Just give the date a quick rub with vinegar to eliminate its light color. It makes the remaining etching almost impossible to find. For eggs with ink-stamped dates: Boiling the eggs fades the dates. If you don't want to keep on boiling them until the dates finally fade away (which will turn the yolks an ugly shade of green)

|D-Jax Punt Return at Giants Stadium
One of My Fondest Sports Memories
December 19, 2010
Below are some of the most common questions/scenarios I am asked about. I provide the briefest answers in this Post, but if you Click Here where indicated, you will find a more comprehensive discussion on each topic.
My goal is to inform the public, and to remedy illegal employment activities by companies that do not follow the law. I hope you find this helpful.
What is "Adverse Employment Action"?
We use that term throughout this Post, and elsewhere. It refers to action by the employer such as disciplinary action, demotion, failure to promote, reduction in hours, suspension or termination.
If the Adverse Employment Action is based upon a pretext, and causes the employee significant financial losses, pursuing a claim of discrimination could very well be appropriate.
Adverse Employment Actions trigger an employee's obligation to file a complaint with EEOC and/or a similar state agency (in Pennsylvania, the PA. Human Relations Commission) within specified deadlines.
What Does "Employment at Will" Mean in Pennsylvania?
It means that you can be terminated for any reason, good or bad, unless the termination results from illegal discrimination, illegal retaliation or a wrongful termination. Click Here for a more.
How Does Pennsylvania Law Define Wrongful Termination?
Many states, including Pennsylvania, make it illegal to fire employees that have filed a workers' compensation claim, or have asserted rights under other statutes (such as seeking full or partial unemployment subsequent to layoff or reduction in hours), etc. Otherwise the "employment at will" rule controls, and one can sue for wrongful termination only if the victim of illegal discrimination or illegal retaliation. Click Here for more.
What is a Hostile Work Environment?
It exists when the work place is permeated with a poisonous atmosphere that is hostile to people because of their age, sex, race, national origin, religious beliefs, or because of sexual harassment, or because the company manifests its anger in response to a protected complaint by engaging in illegal retaliation. Click Here for more.
I am Being Treated Unfairly at Work in PA, Do I Have a Case?
You may, if you are being subjected to illegal discrimination, sexual harassment or illegal retaliation. However, if the atmosphere is poisoned by "mere" office politics, or a jerky boss, or as a result of a policy of favoritism that places you on the outside looking in, probably not. Click Here for more.
What is Illegal Discrimination?
|Illegal Discrimination Exists When You Are Treated Differently
Because You ARE Different
Am I the Victim of Illegal Retaliation?
Click Here for more.
How Do I File a Discrimination or Sexual Harassment Claim in Pennsylvania?
You may file a Charge of Discrimination with either the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission ("PHRC"), the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations (if you work in Philly) and/or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC").
If your employer (or ex-employer) has more than 15 employees, you have rights under federal statutes such as Title VII, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, etc., and must file your Charge with EEOC to preserve your rights under such laws.
If your employer (or ex-employer) has more than 4 employees, you may file your Charge with the PHRC (if they have less than 15 employees, you can only file with the PHRC; if they have 15 or more employees, you may file with PHRC and EEOC).
Click Here to read about time limits for filing, and the best strategies to pursue when considering whether to file first with EEOC versus PHRC (or vice-versa).
How Can I Prove I am a Victim of Race Discrimination in Pennsylvania?
The best way is to have evidence of hostility towards your race via things said by co-workers (and known to management), the posting or publishing of racially intolerant materials in the workplace or blatantly racist comments made directly to you. Along with or absent this type of evidence, you generally need to find a "comparator", someone just like you (except for your race), who is treated differently than you are UNDER VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES to have any potential claim.
Generally, "straight" discrimination claims are very hard to prove (with the exception of age-based claims), and illegal retaliation claims are the way to go if you feel you are the victim of discrimination. Click Here for more.
How Can I Prove I am a Victim of Age Discrimination in PA?
If you are over 40, and are subjected to adverse employment action, and a younger worker who is similarly situated is not, you may have a claim for age discrimination. Click Here for more.
How Can I Prove I am a Victim of Sex Discrimination in PA?
See discussion of race discrimination, above. Click Here for more.
How Can I Prove I am a Victim of Disability Discrimination in Pennsylvania?
If you are subjected to adverse employment action, and you believe it is because of your disability, or because you are perceived as someone who is unable to do the job because of your disability, you may have a claim. Click Here for more.
How Can I Prove I am a Victim of National Origin Discrimination in PA?
See discussion of race discrimination, above. Click Here for more.
See discussion of race discrimination, above. Click Here for more.
What is a Constructive Termination or Constructive Discharge under Pennsylvania law?
It is when you are treated so poorly at work that you have no choice but to quit. Under the law, you have a claim for ILLEGAL constructive discharge if the mistreatment constitutes illegal discrimination, harassment or retaliation. However, even if your discharge was not illegal, per se, you may still have a right to unemployment compensation of the mistreatment was pervasive, and continued despite your efforts to address and resolve the issues with management. Click Here for our comprehensive Post on these issues.
|Sexual Harassment -
Prevalant, but Underreported
Am I Protected Under Pennsylvania or Federal Whistleblower Laws?
If you work for a government, yes. If you do not, you likely have whistleblower protection only if there is a state law that provides such protection. Pennsylvania does not have such a statute; other states, such as New Jersey, do. Also, if you work for a publicly traded company, you may be entitled to protection under Sarbanes Oxley.

Generally, in the absence of a contract between a company and an employee (usually reserved for executives and officers), the payment of severance is a voluntary act by a company.

What is a Sideline Business Under Pennsylvania Unemployment Law?
If, while employed on a full-time basis you from time to time did some work "on the side" for which you were paid, and which you reported to IRS, then you will remain eligible for unemployment even if you continue to do such work after you become unemployed, provided you roughly the same amount of work while unemployed, and do not change your business model.
The sideline business rule also applies even if you did not earn any money while "operating" the business while employed full-time. This is a common scenario for people who, for example, have a real estate license and dabble in that while working at their "real job" on a full-time bais. Click Here for more.
What is "Suitable Work" Under Pennsylvania Unemployment Law?
You have lost your job, are getting unemployment and are offered a new job. The job that is offered to you is not nearly the same as your former job in terms of pay, duties, schedule, or location. Do you have to take that job or suffer the loss of unemployment benefits? This dilemma falls under the "suitable work" rule under Pennsylvania Unemployment laws.
If the job offered constitutes "suitable work," you must accept it or lose benefits. If it is not, you may turn the job offer down and continue to receive unemployment compensation.
"Suitable work" is a DEFINED job offer (i.e. one in writing that lays out the detail of the offer) that basically is the equivalent of your last job in terms of location, pay, job duties, etc. For example, an offer to a former executive of a job as a clerk at a convenience store is NOT an offer of suitable work. An offer of a part-time job with no benefits is not the equivalent of a full-time job with benefits.
NOTE: One common "suitable work" scenario is when a company that is terminating your employment at the same time offers you a different job within the company. When this happens, and an employee rejects the new job offer, companies typically try to characterize it as an employee quit. This is a common tactic, because companies know that winning quit cases is hard for employees. However, in reality, this is a termination, followed by an offer of suitable work.

Two historical films are in making in Sandalwood
Kannada film star Darshan is playing the lead role of warrior Sangolli Rayanna. The actor turned politician Kumar Bangarappa will essay the role of Shivappa Nayaka in the other film. He has the same, height and complexion like Darshan.
Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna has been launched on the Varamahalakshmi festival day in Belgaum and it will be directed by director Naganna, who has been planning it for the last 5 years. Dr. Jayaprada is playing a vital role in this movie after Priyamani rejected to play it. This historical movie will be produced by Anand Appugol. The dialogues are penned by Keshavaditya and camera is handled by Ramesh Babu. Yashovardhan has composed music for this historic film in Kannada.
Director Babu Rao Athani made a movie on this freedom fighter in 1967, which was produced by Ananth Hiregowdar under Chitravani banner. The other historical movie Keladi Shivappa Nayaka, based on the life story of King Keladi Shivappa Nayaka, will go on floors on November 5 in Shimoga. The film will show the king with three queens but in real life, he was said to have five queens. The movie will be edited by Suresh Urs and other technicians are yet to be decided.
It seems Sandalwood is going to get back to the British rule era with these two films. Hope the audience likes it!

Fiery union speech!
Recorded at Brewer, Maine on July 4, 2006
With the annual 4th of July celebration at the Eastern Maine Labor Council rapidly approaching, it's a good time to re-watch the video of the incredible oratory AFL-CIO organizer Stuart Acuff gave at this event in 2006. You'll just have to listen to it to get the full effect!
"…lies like none of us have expected since Richard Nixon…
they lied to get us into an un-necessary war,
they lied about torture,
they lied about extraordinary renditions,
and they have lied to deface and defame the honor of the United States of America…
"Bush trade policy has cost us 3 million good manufacturing jobs."
–Stuart Acuff

This Oct. 5, 2009 photo shows an unidentified tuberculosis and HIV patient on his bed at Wat Prabat Nampu in Lopburi, Thailand. Simple TB is simple to treat, a $10 course of medication, but the pills must be taken in specific combinations for six months to completely wipe out the bacteria. If treatment is stopped short, the TB learns to fight back against the drugs, mutating into a tougher strain for which few, if any, medications exist. It can cost $100,000 a year or more to cure drug-resistant TB, which is described as multi-drug-resistant (MDR), extremely drug-resistant (XDR) and completely drug-resistant (CDR).
