"New and Selected Poems 1962-2012" by Charles Simic (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013, $30)
Charles Simic's monumental poetry collection, "New and Selected Poems 1962-2012," offers a comprehensive look at Simic's prolific poetic output.
After reading just one Simic poem, the reader is transported to an alternate universe where the surreal transforms the ordinary everyday world into the comprehensible fiction of beauty unmasked. As we continue to read, we are able to see the world as we have never seen it before. Simic is both a master poet and a cosmic eccentric, and the combination of these two identities enables the poet to gift us with an experience so uniquely necessary that we are sorry to turn the final page of this very hefty book.

In the early poem "Evening," Simic lays the foundation for the inimitable style which will define his life's work: "The snail gives off stillness./The weed is blessed./At the end of a long day/The man finds joy, the water peace." Here Simic attributes abstract qualities such as stillness, blessedness and peace to the non-human world of a snail, a weed and water.
Simic continues this projection of qualities as he writes of grass: "At night some understand what the grass says./The grass knows a word or two." In the world of Simic, the grass is an intelligent being capable of communication. The grass speaks.
Simic also endows other inanimate objects with life as he writes the poems "Fork," "Spoon," "Knife," "My Shoes" and "Stone." In "Stone," he captures the essence of making the inanimate into a vibrant living force as he writes: "Go inside a stone/That would be my way." As the poet momentarily suppresses his own identity to become a stone, he says, "I am happy to be a stone."
Another early poem, "Concerning My Neighbors, The Hittites," contains a truly memorable line: "If the sky falls, they shall have clouds for supper." This line prefigures Simic's lifelong journey into surrealism or images from the unconscious world of dream.
The flirtation with surrealism becomes a solid relationship in the selections from "The World Doesn't End," his volume of prose poems. Here, the world of dream becomes reality: "My mother was a braid of black smoke./She bore me swaddled over the burning cities." In another untitled prose poem, he is both witty and cautious as he writes, "I am the last Napoleonic soldier. It's almost two hundred years later and I am still retreating from Moscow...I have a ceremonial saber. I use it to cut my hair, which is four feet long."
Simic reveals a fleeting sense of pathos in the volume "Hotel Insomnia." In "Folk Songs," he addresses the "Sausage makers of History" by informing them "You all hail from a village/Where the dog barking at the moon/Is the only poet." In this same poem he also addresses both Oedipus and Hamlet who are "Fallen like flies/In the pot of cabbage soup." He speaks to them in terms of the futility of escaping this fate as he says, "No use beating with your fists,/Or sticking your tongue out."
When all is said and done we find that Simic's "New and Selected Poems 1962-2012" contains selections from no less than 13 individual books of poetry and concludes with new poems. Perhaps the most elegant of the new poems is "Lingering Ghosts." The poem opens with these hauntingly beautiful lines: "Give me a long dark night and no sleep,/And I'll visit every place I have ever lived,/Starting with the house where I was born." The poet then writes of how he will "roam the old neighborhood hunting for friends." In the concluding stanza, a black cat becomes his guide "On this street with its missing buildings,/Missing faces and few lingering ghosts."
Like the ghosts he seeks, Simic's poems linger with us. "New and Selected Poems 1962-2012" demonstrates the triumph of one of the most original minds in America. Reading these poems is both an ecstatic and humbling experience as we enter the world of poetic genius created by Charles Simic.

text: For all but the cheapest places and the slowest seasons, reservations are advised. In high-season tourist hot spots, hotels can book up months ahead. In general, many hotels offer specials on their websites, but low-end chains sometimes give a slightly better rate over the phone. Chain hotels also offer frequent-flyer mileage deals and other rewards programs; ask when booking. Online travel booking, bidding and comparison websites are another good way to find discounted hotel rates – but are usually limited to chain hotels; also check out Hotels.com, Hotwire (www.hotwire.com) and Booking.com. If you have a smartphone, each of these sites has a free app – which often are great for finding great last-minute deals. The Hotel Tonight is another good app for booking rooms on the fly, and includes boutique hotels and historic properties.

Child Welfare and Child Protection
The Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence (FCADV) Child Welfare and Child Protection Initiative projects are a collaborative effort between FCADV, the Office of the Attorney General, the Department of Children and Families, local certified domestic violence centers, Community Based Care staff, and other child welfare professionals to provide an optimal coordinated community response to families experiencing the co-occurrence of domestic violence and child abuse. These initiatives establish partnerships in which a Domestic Violence and Child Welfare Advocate is co-located within a DCF or a Sheriff's Office Child Protection Investigator Unit. The advocate provides consultation to child protection staff, referral services to survivors, and attends monthly meetings between all partnering stakeholders to develop strategies to resolve any barriers or issues. The ultimate goal of the projects is to bridge the gap between child welfare and domestic violence service providers to enhance family safety, create permanency for children, and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions. There are currently pilot sites located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Citrus, Manatee, Pasco, Broward, Bay, Gulf, Calhoun, Collier, and Putnam Counties.
In addition to working with local pilot site project partners, FCADV provides technical assistance and training to all certified DV centers and child welfare organizations on building collaborations that benefit survivors of domestic violence and their children. FCADV recognizes the important role that domestic violence center advocates play in ensuring the safety of survivors and their children and supports the State of Florida's efforts to keep children with non-offending, protective parents. It is extremely important that formal and informal agreements of our collaborative teams do not have negative long or short-term consequences for survivors and their children.
If your center would like to participate in a technical assistance visit to discuss your collaboration with a child welfare agency, or if you currently are working with a child welfare agency and need assistance in strengthening or evolving your agreement, FCADV is available to support your efforts. Now is the time for DV center advocates to engage in the process and provide their expertise in cases where child abuse and domestic violence intersect. Providing collaborative services is a significant part of keeping children safe in the home with the non-offending parent and it is important that domestic violence advocates have a seat at the table.
Please contact FCADV at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about building or enhancing domestic violence and child welfare partnerships.

A Bengali Food Blog and not a single Sondesh recipe in there. "Chee, chee, ...", the Bengali Mashima in her wide red bordered spun cotton sari spat out a stream of betel juice in disgust. The other ladies in their filigreed gold bangles stopped midway in their task of "boron", feeding Ma Durga pieces of sondesh and smearing her with Sindoor on BijoyaDashami, and looked at me with rebuke writ on their face. Ma Durga's face shimmied in the rectangular mirror placed for Dorpon Bishorjon. I hate betel juice and was about to say a few choice words to Mashima when the darn alarm went off.
Phewww...so this was just a dream, I looked around trying to spot betel juice stains lurking in any corner. None. That settled, I switched my thought to Sondesh or rather Shondesh. Really , why did I not have a decent sondesh recipe on my blog ? I did have two "faankibaaji" recipes but not the real deal. Why oh Why ?
"Wait. I can explain", I said. And then I gulped for what I was going to say was close to blasphemy. But "Honesty is the Best Policy" was my favorite topic to write essays on and so I decided what the heck...I do not like Sondesh. That is the sweet Sondesh. I have always liked the children's magazine Sondesh but that we are not discussing here. There, I said it. Sondesh does not feature among the sweets I would like to eat after I have come back from Mars or the Alcatraz. Nope. I will take Kalakand, KheerKodombo, Crisp raas soaked Jilipi, ChamCham, Kheerer Shingara, Motichur Laddus, Chanar Jilipi, Ledikeni, Kheerer Naaru, LobongoLotika and then, only then shall I consider the Sondesh.
I have no concrete reasons why I don't like it given that all my childhood, my Ma kind of force fed me Sondesh. Every winter vacation that we spent in Kolkata was marred by huge Kara Pak er sondesh from Balram, Taal Shaansh sondesh or Jol-Bhora sondesh made of nolen gur with a spot of liquid jaggery in the core from Sen Mahashoy, creamy white shaankh sondesh shaped like a conch from the Kalika Mishtanno Bhandar near my Dida's home and several variations of the same stuff again and again.
In absence of these in our Bihari town Ma made them at home, making fresh chhana and shaping the sondesh with her dark black stone molds.I hated them all. Well "hate" is a strong word but I didn't really take to Sondesh like a Bong should. I did prefer the "Makha Sondesh", moist, warm and fresh over the harder and dried Kara Pak er sondesh but nothing to go ga ga about. The only variation of sondesh that I like is one where my Ma adds kheer to the channa and thus makes a Kheer-Chhanar Sondesh.
Many, many years later I made norom paak er sondesh at home on this Bijoya Dashami. As if the house move was not exciting enough and I needed more. I had a stash of Khejur Gur from last year and I wanted to use it to make Nolen Gur er Sondesh . I used both sugar and the jaggery but if you have enough of the Khejur Gur I suggest you use more of it. So anyway the sondesh was easy to make and pretty decent to eat, so it is definitely worth a try. If I could have done it, so can you. And then if you fall in love with the famous sweet all the more better for you.
Sondesh -- is a popular Bengali sweet made from fresh chhana/chenna aka home made paneer also known as curdled milk solids. The chhana is kneaded with sugar and different flavorings to make different variety of Sondesh. Different kind of kneading from smooth to grained, leads to different types of sandesh. Traditionally only delicate flavorings were used for sandesh like rose or saffron and notun gur in winter. While the raw flavored and sweetend channa/chenna is made into KaanchaGolla, the kneaded chenna is put back on heat and cooked further for different durations to make different kinds of sondesh. The first Sandesh was introduced by Bhim Nag in 1826 but Nakur Chandra, Sen Mahashoy and Balram are some of the oldest and famous sondesh makers of the city
Nolen Gur er Sondesh -- This is a sub-species of Sondesh found only in the winter season. The sweetener for this Sondesh is Date Palm Jaggery or Khejur Gur. This enchanting and aromatic jaggery is made by collecting the fresh sap of Date Palm Trees on foggy winter mornings. The Notun gur er sondesh has a coloring that varies from pale to a deeper shade of brown and a heady aroma if the Khejur gur is good quality.
Kaanchagolla -- In this variety the fresh warm chhana is kneaded with sugar or jaggery and then tossed into balls.The chhana is not cooked for this. Natore, a town in Bagladesh is famous for its Kaancha Golla.
Norom Paak Sondesh - In this variety the chhana/chenna after kneading with the sugar or jaggery is then put back on heat and stirred gently at low heat for a few minutes to form a soft grainy mix. "Paak" means to cook while "Norom" means soft, and that explains the process. This soft grainy mix is either shaped with molds or tossed into soft round balls. The soft grainy mix which has not been shaped yet is called "makha sondesh". The molded ones usually have the shape of conch or fish, the traditional symbols in a Bengali home.Guptiparais the home of Bengal's first community Durga puja, the place where first branded Bengali sweets graduated from makha sandesh (sandesh mixture) to gupo sandesh (a variety of sandesh pieces)
Kora Paak Sondesh -- This is a harder variety of sondesh where the chhana/chenna is stirred for a longer time to make it hard. I have no idea how they then mold or make shapes out of it.
A very interesting article on Sondesh of Kolkata is here.
What You Need
Whole Milk -- 4 cups
Lime Juice -- 2tbsp (almost 1 whole lime)
Sugar -- 1/8th cup
Khejur Gur -- 2 tbsp Note: Adjust the sugar and jaggery to your taste.You can use no sugar and all jaggery too.
How I Did It
Step 1-- Curdle Milk
Bring 4 cups of whole Milk to boil.
When the milk is boiling add about 2tbsp of Lime juice. Lower the heat. Almost in seconds you will see the milk curdle and clumps of white milk solids forming.When you see the greenish water separating take it off from heat. Let it sit for 30 secs or so.
Step 2 -- Drain chhana
Now line a colander with cheesecloth and drain the chhana/chenna/paneer. The greenish hued whey is great for making roti dough says my Ma. Next lightly rinse the chhana with water to remove the lemony taste and let it drain.
After few minutes gather the ends of the cheesecloth to form a purse like shape and squeeze out the remaining water from the chhana. Next put it on a flat plate and weigh it with a slightly heavier object and let it remain like that for the next hour.I used my mortar for weighing down, I remember my mother using her nora.
Step 3 -- Knead Chhana with sweetener
Now we have to knead the chhana. Knead the chhana with the heel of your palm for about 4-5 minutes. Add about 1/8th cup of fine sugar and 2 tbsp of Jaggery and knead for 4-5 more minutes until the sugar and jaggery is totally mixed with the chhana. I microwaved the jaggery for few seconds to soften and then added it to the chhana.
At the end of this the chhana will look like a smooth ball of dough. Take small portion of it and toss to make small balls. These sweetened balls of raw chhana are called KaanchaGolla.
Step 4 -- Paak or Cook Chhana
Now we will do the "paak" or cook. Since I am doing a Norom Paak er sondesh we will be cooking the chhana at a very low heat.
Put a non-stick pan on low heat and add the kneaded, sweetened chhana. Flatten it out and cook at low heat while stirring with a spautla. 5-6 mins at low heat should be fine.
Step 5 -- Shape cooked chhana to make Sondesh
Now take out the warm chhana and immediately shape with molds or just toss into balls. If you wait, it will harden and you cannot shape it. For further decoration you can warm few strands of saffron in drops of milk and dot each sondesh with the saffron or add bits of pista.
There are many sondesh recipes out in the blog world all almost similar. Here are a few.

Buffalo, New York
Buffalo is the second most populous city in the state of New York, second only to New York City. Located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River, Buffalo is the principal city of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area and the seat of Erie County.
Originating around 1789 as a small trading community near the eponymous Buffalo Creek, Buffalo grew quickly after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, with the city as its western terminus. By 1900, Buffalo was the 8th largest city in the country, and went on to become a major railroad hub, the largest grain-milling center in the country, and the home of the largest steel-making operation in the world.

Nick Oslund
Posted 18 September 2010 - 01:11 AM
Position: Right Wing
Shoots: Right
Vitals: 6'3'' / 210 lbs.
Birthdate: November 15, 1987
Hometown: Burnsville, Minnesota
Acquired: Detroit's sixth choice (191st overall) in the 2006 draft
CSS Ranking: 200th North American skater (2006)
Contract: None (must sign by Aug. 15, 2011)
RWC Says: Checking Forward
"He's got good size, he competes, he loves to hit, and he's a good skater for his size. He needs to work on his puck skills. He's one of those guys we're banking away for five years and we'll see how he develops." Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill (June 2006).
Swift-skating physical player ... Punishes opponents with hard hits ... Forechecks tenaciously and plays intense, aggressive game ... Strong along boards ... Wins battles ... Hard slap shot.
Limited puck skills and hands ... Doesn't project as a scorer and lacks offensive upside ... Needs his offensive game to evolve over the next several years.
The Red Wings draft Oslund in the hopes he would evolve into a hard-hitting role player, but that hope is down to the wire now. He has yet to show any offensive upside whatsoever at the NCAA level and will look to improve his numbers as a junior at St. Cloud State in 2010-11.

From HF Boards
Hey guys, I thought I'd drop in and give you a little info on Nick Oslund. He's one of my best friends and we played on the same high school hockey team. First off, central scouting has him listed at 6'3 195. That's not accurate. He's 6'3 1/2 220. His dad is 6'5 - 6'6 and Ozzie is supposed to be the same height as his dad. He doesn't stop eating . Many of you probably think he is fat but he's not. I workout with him and he's an extremely built kid.
Ok, so a little bit about him this season in high school hockey. He led the Lake Conference in scoring, which is the toughest conference in the state for high school hockey. He basically carried our team. He obviously played on the first line, but he didn't get much help. That's why leading the Lake in scoring was that much more impressive. He has a great work ethic and plays every shift like its his last. He was a captain of our team and is very very intense. That's one of the main reasons he decided to go to St. Cloud for hockey. He told me Motzko is a very intense coach. Ozzie hits like a truck. One of the hardest hitters in the state. He also had one of the top shots in the state. It could be a little quicker, but boy he can fire it. With such a big frame you'd think he's probably slow. That's just the opposite, he was the fastest player on our team and most of the time against other teams. He has a very very long and powerful stride. That's why he's so fast. It's funny because he can't run worth a damn, but he can skate like the wind. He's a physical player that doesn't take any **** from other players. He trash talks a lot and people that don't know him very well, could think he's an arrogant kid.
One thing that's really annoying, is all the attention high school players like Forney, Fulton, Sneep, Marvin, etc. get because they dominate CLASS A. When a player like Ozzie dominates CLASS AA, but doesn't get the recognition because he didn't have as many points in a much much harder class. A whole different skill and physical level from Class A to Class AA. We played way way way harder teams than any of those guys. Sure, they had a few tough games, but look how many points they racked up against small town no name teams. People don't look into that enough. For those of you that don't know... there are 2 divisions in Minnesota High School Hockey. Class A is for smaller schools or less skilled teams, and Class AA is for the most competetive teams and bigger schools.
Nick "Ozzie" Oslund is a great guy. His head is on straight and he's a very outgoing guy. He's fun to be around and chill with. He's not cocky as some say, he's very modest. He can't wait to start next season in the USHL.
Trust me when I say this, he's the real deal. One of the Red Wings scouts visited his house 2 days before the draft and told Nick personally that he should have been rated much higher, but they were happy because they could take him as a sleeper. I promise you won't be disappointed. You guys got a real gem, and now I know why the Red Wing organization can find gems in the later rounds like Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Your scouting is awesome, because you found a stud.
If you have any other questions about him, feel free to ask in this post or PM me because I'm always on the HF Boards looking at stuff.

Thisweek Newspapers
Go to a Burnsville boys' hockey game and you will notice Nick Oslund. He is tough to miss.
He is the big center who likes to throw his weight around, score goals and agitate the other team's players.
Oslund, a senior captain, for the Blaze is the main force behind Burnsville's recent winning ways and Burnsville's main offensive weapon.
So far this season, Oslund has 32 points (15 goals and 17 assists) in 18 games.
In the last three games for the Blaze, all wins, Oslund has four goals and two assists.
He scored a goal in their 2-1 victory over Apple Valley on Tuesday. The win prompted Apple Valley's head coach Jerry Hayes to say, "that's what good hockey players do, they score big-time goals,î when asked about Oslund's goal.
Oslund, who has played varsity since his sophomore year, is the prototypical power forward.
He is fast enough skate he can skate with the quickest, big enough to be an effective intimidator and has good hands to score. Just ask his coach.
"He has a few ways to hurt you," Blaze interim co-head coach Josh Hoekstra said. "He can hurt you physically with the body and wear down the defensemen, he can put the puck in the net and he can make plays. He has good vision as well."
With that combination of size and strength, you would think that college scouts would be excited about having him on their team.
Hoekstra said a few Division I hockey programs have shown some interest, but that Oslund likely will have to play in the junior leagues for a year or two before he goes to college.
"Right now, I'm going to juniors unless something comes up," Oslund said.
A year or two of juniors may be good for Oslund as it will allow him to get even bigger and to get a little quicker on the ice.
According to Hoekstra, Oslund's biggest asset is his work ethic.
"I can't think of one game that he has taken off," Hoekstra said. "He is here to win every night and he is going to do whatever he has to to make that happen."
Oslund loves to throw his weight around and get under the opposing players' skin.
He goes out there to hit people and score. When that happens, it frustrates opponents.
"I just play," Oslund said. "I know when kids get under my skin it bothers me, when they are physical, so I just try to be physical all my shifts, every game. I just try to bring it all the time, in every game."
It wasn't until a year ago that Oslund started to make a name for himself.
After playing sparingly as a sophomore, Oslund came onto the scene last year and gave the Lake Conference notice that he was going to be a force.
Oslund scored 29 goals and had 18 assists as a junior to lead the Blaze in scoring.
That led to playing in the high school hockey elite fall league and big expectations for his senior season. So far he has delivered.
"What makes great players great is that they show up every game not every other night. He brings it every single night," Hoekstra said.

It's a make-or-break season for Oslund
By Michelle Crechiolo - DetroitRedWings.com Intern
DETROIT In more than one respect, the upcoming season is make-or-break for Red Wings prospect Nick Oslund.
He not only has one last chance to lead St. Cloud State to the NCAAs Frozen Four, but he also has just one year left to prove his worth to the Wings before they must decide whether or not to sign him.
Were looking to get back to that same position, Oslund said of his teams loss in Marchs West Regional final to fellow prospect Brendan Smiths Wisconsin Badgers. We have a good group of guys coming back, a huge core of our team from last year, so were looking to get back to that same spot and hopefully into the Frozen Four.
For now, thats Oslunds main focus. He plans on worrying about his future with the Wings after he finishes his upcoming senior year.
We kind of had that sour taste in our mouth at school about the Frozen Four, we thought we could have been there for sure, said Oslund, in Detroit for this weeks development camp. We lost to Wisconsin, that is a team we were back-and-forth with all year. So we know we were right there, and thats been our focus at school, and I think thats pretty much what Ive been focused on as well.
Oslunds decision to finish his college career is reminiscent of former St. Cloud State player Ryan Malone, who spent four successful seasons in Minnesota before heading to the pros. NHL teams cannot sign NCAA players until they opt to leave college or graduate, and the Wings staff is content to let Oslund utilize his full five years of development.
The 6-foot-3, 215 pound forward plays a physical game, and his size has impressed Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill.
Hes a big, strong power forward, Nill said. Hes another one of those guys we dont have a lot of in our system, so its nice when you get those big, strong guys that can help play the other part of the game for us.
However, four summers at the Wings annual development camp has made Oslund realize that his skating ability still needs work before he truly develops into an NHL-caliber player.
Getting better at foot-speed, Oslund said when asked what hes been told he needs to work on. Just work on my quickness, continue to be physical. Just keep doing what Im doing, and like I said, just improve my quickness.
He plans to improve that aspect of his game during the upcoming season. And by next August, Oslund hopes to tell the Wings staff his all-around play helped his team win an NCAA title.
Nick Oslund has attended all of the three prospect camps I've covered, and the St. Cloud State University senior and right winger has yet to do much else than leave me scratching the five annoyingly persistent hairs on the top of my scalp. Oslund's a mountain of a man at 6'3" and 215 lbs. (at least, on both counts) of muscle, muscle, and more muscle, and the right-shooting forward skates well, bangs bodies, plays well defensively, and has obviously worked on both his skating and hands as his skating and stickhandling have improved by leaps and bounds over the past three years...
But he still sometimes struggles with skill drills and sometimes stars in them, he skates like a big moose of a man at some times and muddles along at other times, and when he plays in scrimmages, sometimes he displays the deft offensive touch of a power forward in the making, sometimes he plays like the consummate defensive grinder, and, sometimes, he plain old disappears, leaving you wondering where that big guy went--and it's not that his size or skill disappears. With Nick Oslund, it's all about confidence.
However, four summers at the Wings annual development camp has made Oslund realize that his skating ability still needs work before he truly develops into an NHL-caliber player.

Oslund tells Crechiolo that he hopes to help guide his team to the NCAA's Frozen Four this upcoming season, but the St. Cloud State Huskies match Oslund's play in terms of their inconsistency. He's got a year to figure himself out and prove, on the ice, that he's worth signing. He's grown up, on and off the ice, by leaps and bounds over the past three summers' worth of prospect camps, and I hope he makes it.

59 Nick Oslund
Pluses: One sentence describes Nick Oslunds tremendous potential, maddening inconsistency, and the fact that the 63, 210-lb power winger is going into his last season at St. Cloud State University (where he hopes to win an NCAA championship) without having really established himself as anything other than a grinder: Hes on the clock.
Oslund is most certainly 63 and 210 pounds of muscle, and when he uses that muscle, the big man can push people around with ease, roar up the wing while protecting the puck on his stick via his fantastic wingspan, twist and turn and toss the puck off to more offensively talented players to generate offense and crash and bang on the forecheck.
Hes huge, just huge, strong, hes improved his skating by leaps and bounds over the past three years, especially in terms of conserving energy when he changes direction so that all that power doesnt spin out when he changes direction anymore, hes capable of solid bursts of speed to get back and cover up defensively when necessary, and again, his ability to protect the puck once he digs it out of a scrum is superb, absolutely superb, especially as he can instinctively stick out a free hand, his shoulder or rear end to simply deny his opponent the space to even try to get around him.
His defensive awareness is excellent as well, and while hes not a shot-blocker per se, that big stick blocks passes and shots quite nicely. When he does get going the other way, again, he knows well enough to put the puck on someone elses s stick if he cant power it through the middle, hes a superb forechecker and he excels along the boards in every zone, and hes become more detail-oriented as times passed
Because hes grown up. Ive attended prospect camp for each of Oslunds three years as Red Wings property, and for the first two years, he was up there with the far-more-talented Brendan Smith in the hot-dogging and not-paying-enough-attention departments, on and off the ice. Oslund was much more professional in his approach to this camp, and he really did do his best to take Nick Jensen under his wing and, in his own way, show quiet leadership. That was incredibly impressive.
Minuses: Oslunds a big power forward who projects as a big power grinder because he doesnt quite have the hands or hockey sense to play an elite offensive game, and when hes focused, on his game, and accepts his role, hes very, very effective. When hes not focused or not ensuring that he plays to the utmost extent of his skating and technical abilities (i.e. paying attention to defensive details and keeping things simple), hes either invisible, or, occasionally, a liability.
Mostly invisible, and thats both hard to believe and incredibly frustrating to watch given his raw strength, power, and at least ability to excel in his role and really give the Wings something they dont have in a huge defensively-minded forward to compliment their staple of speedy, smallish grinders.
I dont know if its a lack of focus or what, but Oslund at least has the ability to become a very solid professional player who comes up to the NHL on short stints and makes a solid living at the game knocking the hell out his opponents at the AHL level, and that player only appears in fits and spurts.
Potential upside: As stated, a grinding 3rd or 4th-line player who can fill a defensive role, killing penalties and mostly playing a no-frills game in which his size, strength, and speed stifle scoring chances against and create havoc on the forecheck. If he cant put it together completely, and doesnt continue to improve his skating, he could very easily become an effective and useful AHL player, or he keeps appearing in fits and spurts, I really dont know. Itd be disappointing to see him not make it because its been a pleasant surprise watching him grow into himself as a player and a person.

RWC Report: Oslund must 'bully' way to contract
By Matthew Wuest RedWingsCentral.com / October 27, 2010
Nick Oslund's future with the Detroit Red Wings will depend on his ability to find a niche as a checker.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound centre/winger at St. Cloud State boasts tremendous strength and is a swift skater, especially for his size. But he is never going to be a scorer and has yet to consistently assert himself as an impact checker.
"To take the next step, Nick will need to play with a little more bite and become more of a bully on the ice," said Red Wings scout David Kolb. "He could stand to become more involved after whistles. He doesn't play nice, but he doesn't exactly play mean, either."
Oslund, now in his senior year, had just 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points in 116 games through his first three NCAA seasons. Kolb said Oslund has better skills than those stats indicate, with a hard shot and the potential to be a strong net-front presence in the mold of Dustin Byfuglien.
"Nick is tough to move and will receive hits without retaliating," Kolb said.
Oslund's lack of offensive instincts will ultimately limit his production, Kolb said.
What has been discouraging to the Red Wings has been Oslund's inability to move up St. Cloud State's depth chart. For the most part, he has assumed third- and fourth-line duties, although he had a three-point night last season against Minnesota-Duluth when injuries forced him into a scoring-line role.
So far this season, he has a goal in four games.
The Red Wings, who drafted Oslund out of the Minnesota high school ranks in the sixth round, 191st overall, in 2006, have until August to decide whether to sign him. If Oslund can focus his energies on making a consistent physical impact, it will increase his chances.
"When he is on, he can be a force out there," Kolb said. "Nick has the tools to be an effective checker down the road. Whether or not he has the mentality to fill that role will determine how far he is able to go."

Does he fight?
But, in college, you get in quite a bit of trouble for fighting. You're kicked out of the game and you are banned from the procedding game as well.

LOCKPORT – Clifford J. Meteer, who according to his attorney had a "meltdown" Sept. 2 when he threatened suicide with an illegal handgun, avoided jail time Thursday.
Attorney Robert Viola said Meteer, 58, of Second Street, Youngstown, was a law-abiding citizen with no prior offenses. Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas questioned that, noting that Meteer had an illegal gun and admittted smoking marijuana weekly.
She did place him on five years' probation for fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with physical evidence. Viola blamed the incident on an overload of work and marital stress.
Sheriff's deputies reported that Meteer put a gun in his mouth and when Youngstown police arrived, he reportedly charged an officer while yelling "Shoot me." After Meteer was subdued, officers confiscated a loaded Ruger .380-caliber handgun, nine shotguns and a Samurai sword.

MARTINSBURG - As the winter months usher in cold temperatures, many Eastern Panhandle community members struggle to afford the cost of heating their residences.
In an effort to help residents pay winter utility bills, the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle, Roach Energy and ROCS are launching the 2013 Warming Hands and Hearts Initiative.
The 2013 campaign was kick-started by the first corporate donation from The Purple Iris in Martinsburg with a $100 donation.

When Roach Engergy customers contact the company and request fuel from the Warming Hands and Hearts truck, Roach Energy will donate one cent for every gallon to the 2013 Warmning Hands and Hearts Initiative, sponsored by the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle, Roach Engergy and ROCS. Pictured with the special Roach Engergy truck in front of The Purple Iris, a corporate sponsor are The Purple Iris, United Way of the Eastern Panhandle, Roach Engergy and ROCS representatives Kevin Knowles, Pete Mulford, Bethany Perez, Tiffany Lawrence, Tiffany Harshbarger, Dan HarshbargerCharla Cody, Karen Elliott and Dan Stough.
"We're always trying to find ways to give back. Being a restaurant, you don't always have as much as you want to give, but we liked this program because we understand where the money is going," said Dan Harshbarger, chef.
In its second year, Warming Hands and Hearts calls on corporate and business sponsors as well as community donations to fund the program, which operates through March 31. The initiative can extend past the deadline if funds are still available at the end of March and if the weather is still cold.
All applications are processed through DHHR and must meet certain requirements to qualify for the program. Approved applicants will be assigned a case manager, who works with the residents and contacts the electric, gas or oil company to negotiate minimum payments and create a payment schedule.
Funding is provided by a $6,500 matching grant, administered by BP Products North American through Roach Energy and ROCS. In addition to money provided through the grant, sponsoring organizations are conducting individual fundraisers.
The United Way will be sending out letters to past contributors, and Roach Energy has included an insert about the program in customers' letters.
For every "like" received on either the Roach Energy or ROCS Facebook page, one dollar will be donated to the United Way program. Additionally, Warming Hands and Hearts travel mugs will be available at ROCS gas stations for $4.99, with $2 of every sale donated.
"This event is truly something that represents the best of corporate partnership, nonprofit partnerships, like the United Way, and our governmental partners like the DHHR," said Pete Mulford, president of the UWEP.
More information on the Warming Hands and Hearts programs and ways to contribute can be found on the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle website, www.uwayep.org.

Hoard's Dairyman Handy Hint February 25, 2011
Handy Hint: February 25, 2011
They use silo to store wheat straw
The Krahn Family of Brillion, Wis., uses wheat straw for bedding. "As our herd grew, getting enough straw blown into the old tie stall barn was a challenge," said son Mitch. "So, a few years ago, Dad and I decided to try to store straw in a 30- by 90-foot Harvestore silo," said Mitch, noting they put straw in a bag a few years earlier but were not pleased with the losses. "We had to make a few minor adjustments to make it work," he noted. "It is really important to put a high-horsepower tractor on the blower to get the straw up the silo."
The Krahns use the silo's bottom feeding unloader and a conveyer to move straw into their TMR mixer. "Once in the mixer, we unload it into a small bedding barn. We use a bedding shooter to place it on the free stall mattresses," said Mitch.

The decision to make the girls change their outfits during combat by switching out dress spheres along garment grids was to help express the change of direction in X-2. Motomu Toriyama, the game's director, told IGN: "Yuna and [the] others try to live positively and the fashion reflects their state of mind. With these changes for the girls, we came up with the idea of "dressing up" and what you see in the game - dress-up system - is a result of that idea."
Even with the naming of dress spheres and garment grids, terms that evoke a vanity which detaches the heroines from selfless efforts, the outfit changes are remembered most for the transformation sequences. These were inspired by what Kitase described as "anime series featuring magic girls who have the ability to transform… that have existed for a long time in Japan."
The similarities to Devil Hunter Yokho and Sailor Moon are patent; the clothes shimmer and ripple off the ladies as the camera pans across their nubile bodies. Paine's transformation into her Lady Luck outfit - a sort of mermaid sash combined with a very revealing black bikini - sees her appear sat on the ground with one leg cocked in the air, as if posing for a photo. She then gets to her feet, spins a double ballet twirl, then bends forwards, arching her butt up and chest out. As she does so she breathlessly says (to her enemy, supposedly), "You think it's just a game? Your life is on the line".
X-2's perception of feminism - if that is what it is, a mishmash of Charlie's Angels frivolity and magical girl voyeurism - is not inspiring. I remember friends teasing me about picking up X-2 because of its girlishness, but my description of X above hardly lends itself to images of jocks high-fiving throughout. Final Fantasy has never been a masculine series, particularly in the PlayStation era when it was as much to do with telling love stories as it was with depicting excessively numerical combat. IX, as much as I love it, took the romance to a sickening fairytale extreme. Maybe this is why Final Fantasy X, so much the reversal and maturation of what came before, was such a welcome tonic.
If X-2 represented Square Enix's attempts to get women to play their game, it was misguided and redundant. If it was an attempt to capitalize on the Charlie's Angels movement, itself really just the tail end of the girl group movement of the 90s, then it was outdated and off-base.
Either way, all of this represents the mere platform for why I can never forgive Final Fantasy X-2. True, if X was music to my ears then X-2 was its X-Factor. It took the story of the cute little lady from nowhere, with her big heart and all, and then dumped her on stage in half her clothing and put a microphone in her hand. All that was missing was Louis Walsh trying to spin implausible comparisons to Dragon Quest. And if that was all it was, I could forgive it. I could even forgive the half-assed plot about political strife, all of which is ended by the narrative equivalent of a group hug.
You see, the one redeeming thing in X-2, plot-wise, is Yuna's inability to move on from Tidus. For all the disparity of her flamboyant new life she still sees Tidus in her dreams. So she drops everything when she finds a sphere containing an image of him, but ultimately her search proves fruitless. So she uses this to finally move on; "So much has happened," she says in the game's end, "I know that I'll keep changing. This is my story. It'll be a good one. It all began when I saw this sphere… of you."
And that would be just fine, except it's only one of the game's possible endings. Perform certain actions and you can unlock what fans have called the 'good' ending. In which Tidus comes back.

Sales taxes in cities, counties go up today
Sacramento's sales tax to increase half a percentage point
Sales taxes in more than 20 cities and counties across California went up Monday.
In Sacramento, sales taxes is set at 8.5 percent.
The Sacramento Bee reports municipalities from Carmel to Culver City are increasing their sales taxes anywhere from a quarter- to a half-cent on every dollar of sales as they seek to boost revenues.
Sacramento's increase -- from 8 to 8.5 percent -- is estimated to bring in an additional $28 million a year.
On a $1,000 refrigerator, for instance, the new Sacramento city rate will mean an extra $5 in sales taxes. For a $25,000 vehicle, that would come to an additional $125 in sales tax.
Votes in Sacramento OK'd Measure U last Novemeber.

While many of the pop princess's fans have been scratching their heads over the reunion, especially so soon after Gomez, 21, was released from rehab for unknown treatment – and just as video has surfaced of Bieber, 20, acting defiant and swearing at his recent deposition – her family is also concerned.
"Selena has chosen Justin over her family in the past," a source tells PEOPLE. "They are disappointed about that." The source adds, "Her father has told her he doesn't like her spending time with him."
Not that this is the first time the couple have gotten back together after their initial breakup in November 2012. In early January, they were seen riding Segways in Bieber's Southern California neighborhood, and he later Instagrammed a photo of them hugging, tagged with the caption, "Love the way you look at me."
But this does mark the first time they've reunited since Justin's recent arrest, and subsequent scuffles with the law.
