The Survival Guide to Rook Endings
A Practical Course in the Most Important Type of Chess EndgameProduct Code: B0115GB
Publisher: Gambit
Author: John Emms
Year of Publication: 2008
Pages: 160
Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
Book Description
A Gambit re-issue of this instructive endgame guide.
For all chess-players - from beginners to grandmasters, and whatever their style of play - one thing is certain: rook endings will arise in a great many of their games.
Yet it is precisely in this area of the game that many players give away hard-earned points, either through lack of knowledge or inadequate understanding. Most previous books on the subject have been extremely technical and theoretical, but this one is different. John Emms provides the essential specific knowledge and explains the key concepts that will enable readers to find the right plan in most common types of rook endings.
John Emms is one of England's strongest grandmasters, and an experienced trainer. He is also a skilful and versatile writer: he has several opening monographs and general guides to his credit, and authored the hugely popular work, The Ultimate Chess Puzzle Book.

A federal judge Monday declined to jail Frank J. Morrocco, an ex-convict from Amherst who claims he got himself arrested in hopes of being sent to prison and getting high-quality health care for his leukemia.
Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. refused a request from a federal prosecutor to jail Morrocco, but he ordered Morrocco to go to Roswell Park Cancer Institute to apply for health care coverage under a program run by New York State.
"I'll take him down to Ros-well as soon as possible, and hopefully, he'll be admitted to the program and get the treatment he needs," said Morrocco's attorney, Joel L. Daniels.
Morrocco, 56, was released from federal prison last year after serving 20 years for conspiring to traffic in cocaine. He told The Buffalo News he shoplifted $23 worth of "junk items" from a Wegmans supermarket Nov. 26 in hopes of being returned to prison, where he got "excellent ... top-of-the-line health care."
Amherst police charged him with shoplifting after the incident.
He now faces a federal charge of violating the terms of his five-year supervised release.
Daniels said social workers at Roswell Park have told him that Morrocco can get health coverage for $362 a month under the "New York Bridge" program set up for people who are having difficulty paying for health care.
Morrocco said his mother and two friends have agreed to pay for his health care until he can afford to pick up the payments himself. He works as a private contractor, purchasing cars at auctions for local car dealers, and said he currently does not make enough money to afford health coverage.
Schroeder said he did not think it would be humane to send a man back to jail so he can get health care treatment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce urged Schroeder to put Morrocco in jail. According to Bruce, Morrocco's shoplifting arrest was not the only time he has violated the terms of his supervised release.
In court, it was disclosed that Town of Tonawanda police arrested Morrocco in August, after he got into a dispute with another man over a loud motorcycle. The prosecutor also stated that Morrocco, who is barred from any contact with convicted felons, has been spending time with a woman who is a convicted felon.
"I did have words with a man in Tonawanda, and I was charged with harassment ... We had words, but I never harassed him," Morrocco said after the court session.
"I was seeing a younger woman, but to my understanding, she was never convicted of a felony. Maybe she gave me incorrect information, he said."
Schroeder ordered Morrocco to appear in federal court again at 2 p.m. Dec. 19 for an update before U.S. District Judge John T. Curtin, who handled Morrocco's original drug case.
"I am thankful that it looks like I'm going to get health care coverage, and I want to thank Judge Schroeder and Joel Daniels for the way they handled things," Morrocco said late Monday.

UNIVERSITY PARK - If you needed another reminder about how life sometimes isn't fair, that example was on full display as senior linebacker Michael Mauti disappeared into the Beaver Stadium tunnel Saturday afternoon with an apparent knee injury that will likely end his Penn State football career.
Just like that, the greatest leader in the program's history was being whisked away on the dreaded green cart after enduring the third significant knee injury since arriving here in 2008.
Bill O'Brien said he wouldn't have a definitive diagnosis at least until today, but the emotions stirred indicated we've seen Mauti in a blue and white uniform for the final time.

O'Brien held his composure, but defensive coordinator Ted Roof had tears in his eyes.
"[From] day one, meeting one, he's meant so much to me personally," Roof said after the Lions' 45-22 win over Indiana. "I love that kid."
Mauti 's legacy had been cemented long before Saturday. Not only has he stood out on the field, he is the player credited most with keeping the Lions together after the rash NCAA sanctions allowed for any player to transfer immediately without losing eligibility.

Penn State linebacker Michael Mauti puts his hands to his head while being carted off the field.
It was Mauti and Michael Zordich - both seniors, both sons of former Lions, both with NFL futures - who stood in front of the team before preseason practice and pledged solidarity.
More than anyone, Mauti, who also spoke for the current players at Joe Paterno's memorial service, was comfortable as the face of the team and the player in the center of the pre-game warmups.
"A lot of people couldn't do what he did," senior center Matt Stankiewitch said. "He helped keep the team together. We're fortunate to have seniors who are leaders at each position, but Mike is a big key to that."
O'Brien considers Mauti worthy of exclusive company.
"All I can say is in your career, I've been as fortunate to be around some very special players," O'Brien said, a bit haltingly. "I've been fortunate to coach the greatest - a Hall of Fame quarterback [Tom Brady], great receivers, great players and he's one of the most special. Just a fantastic kid."
Which is the reason Beaver Stadium fell silent when Mauti went down midway through the first quarter after a chop block in which he was hit low by Indiana's D'Angelo Roberts at the same time he was already being blocked. No penalty was called.
"If he's engaged up top, it's something that should be called, and I'd consider it a cheap shot," Zordich said. "It happens a lot, but either way, we've just got to keep going."
When Mauti was injured, the entire team left the bench to salute him before he departed the field.
"He's the kind of guy that deserves that respect," Zordich said.
"I love him like a brother," said fellow senior linebacker Gerald Hodges, who spent a moment on one knee in prayer after the injury.
As the cart pulled away, Zordich approached it by himself and spoke briefly to his close friend and roommate.
"You hate to see anybody get injured - especially a guy like him that's put so much into the program and is a huge, huge reason why we're all here," Zordich said.
Mauti re-joined his teammates in the fourth quarter and left the field on crutches. His parents were in tears in the end zone as the team sung the alma mater. Zordich said each of the Lions approached Mauti in the locker room to offer encouragement.
Missing the Senior Day game with Wisconsin is only part of the disappointment Mauti may face. After tearing up his right knee in 2009 and his left knee in the fourth game last year, this clearly could cloud at least the start of his NFL career if not all of it.
"We hope the best for him," Hodges said. "Of course, his spirits are down, but we're going to keep rallying around him. We lost a leader and when you lose a leader, you have to have other guys step up, including myself."
Hodges made 12 tackles and Mike Hull replaced Mauti and added 11 stops. Hull, though, wishes he'd have gotten the extra action for a different reason.
"I hate to see anyone get injured - opposing team or our team," Hull said. "I just can't believe it was him."
Neither, unfortunately, could anyone else.

A James Island caller's request for seafood quiche recipes reminded me that quiche is too often pigeon-holed as a brunch food. Truthfully, a slice of this custardy egg pie makes a great dinner meal, especially when a nice fresh salad is by its side.
The addition of seafood to quiche, like our local crab and shrimp, makes for a natural marriage of flavors as well.
Joanne Alexander of West Ashley shares a recipe that I have seen versions of in several local cookbooks.
"I have had this recipe since the early 1970s," she writes. "Have shared with lots of folks who like that it does not have heavy cream in it. It tastes even better the second day and it freezes well. It is easy to make two and freeze one."
She adds that it is even better warmed the next day.
Crab Quiche
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1 (7.5-ounce) can of drained, flaked crab meat (or 1/2 pound fresh crab meat)
1/3 cup sliced green onions
8 ounces Swiss cheese, diced
Combine the mayonnaise, eggs, flour and milk and mix until blended. Add the crab meat, green onions and Swiss cheese.
Pour into a pastry-lined (uncooked) 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Serve warm.
Editor's note: Another version of the recipe calls for garnishing the top of the filling with large mushroom slices before baking, a nice touch.
The same recipe, found in the cookbook "Plantation Tours & Tastes," offers additional words of wisdom: Prepared filling may be mixed ahead and kept refrigerated until ready to bake, but do not fill pie crust until ready to bake. Also, place pan on cookie sheet before baking.
Carol Dotterer of Charleston sends this recipe she clipped from The Post and Courier a few years ago. The recipe came from Rue de Jean restaurant in Charleston, and it makes a rich, custardy quiche.
Editor's note: We made the recipe using a standard Pyrex 9-inch glass pie pan. The egg and cream mixture filled it to the brim, so be extra careful when transporting the pan to the oven. A deep-dish pan is an alternative.
Asparagus & Crab Quiche
Makes 1 (9-inch) quiche
1 (9-inch) baked and cooled pie shell
13/4 cups grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese
5 whole large eggs
2 cups (1/2 quart) heavy cream
11/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 spears blanched asparagus, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 ounces lump crab meat
Fill cooled pie shell with cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk eggs together. Slowly whisk in cream, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over cheese and place asparagus and crab on top, gently pushing in to submerge them. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Rotate pan front to back. Finish baking until top is golden brown, about 30 more minutes. Cool until quiche sets up and firms.
Editor's note: We baked the quiche for 1 hour at 325 degrees, and it turned out perfectly, too.
Kathy Davis of North Charleston called her recipe in. "I've had it probably 30 years. When I was a Tupperware manager, one of my hostesses served it."
Kathy says she had her doubts but once she tasted it, she was sold. "My family loves it. ... First, my son loves it so much and now my grandson, so I make two at a time."
Seafood Quiche
Makes 1 (9-inch)
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (15-ounce) can condensed clam chowder
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 slices American cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake shell 8 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Combine remaining ingredients except cheese. Pour 2/3 of the egg mixture into the shell. Add cheese slices on top and pour rest of egg mixture over. Bake 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes before serving.
The locally known "shrimp pie" is sort of a cousin to quiche. When researching quiche recipes in the office collection of community cookbooks, I found this from my old friend and mentor Ann Thrash. Ann, of course, was food editor for many years before me.
This recipe is in Ann's cookbook, "South Carolina: Always in Season," which she published in 2002.
Ann's headnote reads, "No one in the family can remember how long we've been making this dish — but when shrimp-baiting season begins in September, we don't have any trouble remembering that this is one of our favorite shrimp recipes."
King Street Shrimp Pie
Makes 4 servings
8 slices day-old white bread, crusts removed
2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 dashes Tabasco
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 rounded teaspoon dry mustard, dissolved in a little water
1 quart shrimp, cooked and peeled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear the bread into roughly shaped pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and stir to coat. Stir in the eggs, melted butter, salt, Tabasco, pepper and mustard. Stir in the shrimp. Pour the mixture into a 11/2-quart glass baking dish and top with a sprinkling of paprika. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top browns and the casserole has risen uniformly. Serve right away.
Fried and true
Last month we fielded a request for the fried shrimp served at the old LaBrasca's restaurant, a popular Charleston eatery on upper King Street.
At the time, I was unable to reach the family. But since then, I've heard from Suzanne Bolton of Mount Pleasant, granddaughter of the founders, George and Effie LaBrasca.
She writes, "I always appreciate the requests for our family's recipes. I am often surprised when I meet or hear of another local who remembers and enjoyed LaBrasca's ... thank you so much for the stroll down memory lane."
Suzanne says while LaBrasca's used a commercial deep-fryer for its fried shrimp and the results may be somewhat different, she duplicated the recipe using a cast-iron Dutch oven and enough vegetable oil to "deep-fry."
"Our fresh local shrimp are the best I've ever had and I believe it's a mortal sin to try and 'dress them up' too much," she adds.
LaBrasca's Fried Shrimp
1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and rinsed; tails on or off as preferred
11/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 cups whole milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Dutch oven
Vegetable oil; enough oil to deep-fry
Cocktail or tartar sauce if desired
Lemon wedges
Prepare shrimp and set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Set aside. In a second large bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Heat oil to 375 degrees in the Dutch oven.
Wet shrimp in milk/egg mixture and working quickly, place in flour mixture, toss to coat and carefully drop or place shrimp in heated oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until coating is golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or on paper towels.
Serve with lemon wedges.

Ican't say that Marc Bruno had his illusions shattered. Any naiveté had been pounded out of the Riverside Institute of Technology teacher long before he got kicked in the head.
Bruno, a social studies teacher, got booted last week while holding back a 10th-grade girl after she tossed a metal chair at her boyfriend. He loosened his grip for an instant and … bam. The kick left him dazed, but not confused.
"People would be shocked if they knew what we have to deal with here," he told me.
Forget, for a moment, the masses of flunking Buffalo kids. The under-the-rug issue, at Riverside and other schools, is a lack of discipline. Without law and order in the class, learning is a long shot.
Coincidentally, I sat down with Bruno and a few other Riverside teachers last spring to talk about chronically absent kids. The conversation turned to "Kids Gone Wild."
"Just about every day, I see a kid in the hall and tell him to get to class," said Chrissy Hall, a guidance counselor who has since left Riverside, "and he'll say, '[Bleep] you, [expletive], go do your job.' "
What happens to those kids? Nothing.
"We're like cops who can't arrest you," Bruno complained. "Students know there are no consequences."
The blow that Bruno took last week – and the steak knife that security took off the girl who attacked him – underlined what he and the others told me last spring.
Authority loses its muscle when kids are free to f-bomb teachers. Rules lose meaning when students show up whenever for class – if at all – and don't get punished.
It is no way to run a school district.
Bruno is not a crackdown guy. He likes to talk things out with problem kids. But he knows that "crime without punishment" does not work for teachers. It does not work for the majority of kids, who want to learn. And it does not work – in the long run – for the malcontents who think they are running the show.
"When these kids go to get a job or sign up for the military," Bruno said, "that's not how it's going to be."
Bruno said that things are getting worse. Complaints about the glut of suspensions for nonviolent offenses prompted district officials to tell principals to ease up. Untenured principals, worried about their jobs, are afraid to crack down on problem kids – or to back teachers who do.
Only a few schools, Bruno said, have principals who will take the teachers' case to City Hall.
"You can write kids up [for cursing or not showing up]," Bruno said, "but nothing happens."
I know you can't suspend a kid every time he makes a face. But whatever happened to detention?
There has to be a middle ground between doing nothing – which destroys discipline – and exiling problem kids.
Bruno remembers a time when no suspended kid was allowed back in school until a parent met with the principal.
Ain't that a kick in the head.

|Assembly of a Molecular Needle, from the Bottom Up
Many pathogenic bacteria use a specialized secretion system to inject virulence proteins directly into the cells they infect. The injected proteins, by mimicking host-cell mechanisms, can then subvert normal cellular function. The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a sophisticated protein complex with an overall shape similar to a hypodermic needle. More than twenty unique types of proteins are required for its assembly, most of which are found among a wide variety of animal as well as plant pathogens. Electron microscopy has sketched the broad outlines of TTSS structure, but it does not have sufficient resolution to reveal the details required to understand, and eventually inhibit, the needle's function. At the ALS, researchers from Canada and the U.S. performed crystallographic studies of EscJ, the protein that makes up the needle's ring-shaped base. Their analysis of the EscJ ring not only presents a snapshot of one of the earliest structures generated in the TTSS assembly process, but also reveals features indicative of its role as the molecular platform for subsequent construction of the secretion apparatus.
The TTSS needle complex is found in gram-negative bacteria (e.g. Yersinia, Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, and E. coli), which are all characterized by a double-membrane cell wall. The needle complex spans the two membranes, with the rigid needle protruding outside the cell. The complex has a base of two rings: a larger one anchored to the inner membrane and a smaller one embedded in the outer membrane. While recent electron microscopy images have revealed the gross morphology of the TTSS, a more detailed analysis of the structural characteristics and organization of these protein components within the bacterial membranes is necessary to understand how protein transfer is mediated and regulated.
To improve the current view of the molecular architecture of the needle complex, the researchers completed the first crystallographic analysis of a basic structural component of the TTSS, that of the protein EscJ from pathogenic E. coli, solved to a resolution of 1.8 Å at ALS Beamline 8.2.1. EscJ belongs to the YscJ/PrgK protein family, members of which are commonly found across many different species of bacteria possessing TTSSs. Most importantly, the self-association ("multimerization") of proteins in this family has been shown to be one of the earliest events in the assembly of the TTSS. The crystal structure of EscJ reveals, in atomic detail, how this interaction can occur.
The unique manner in which EscJ molecules pack when in crystalline form strongly suggests the formation of higher-ordered multimers. In addition, the YscJ/PrgK proteins share similarities in their amino-acid sequences with proteins known, based on earlier electron-microscopy studies, to form a ring. Using the interaction and symmetry information within the crystal, the researchers were able to construct a ring model containing 24 EscJ molecules and demonstrating several features—including distinctive surface grooves and charged patches—indicative of a role as a docking platform. The researchers believe that the bacterium likely produces such a structure as a platform for assembly of the rest of the needle complex. Several pieces of data have provided validation for this model. The dimensions of the modeled ring (~180 Å in diameter and ~52 Å thick) match those previously estimated by electron-microscopy studies. In addition, the number of subunits (24) agrees with results from an extensive labeling and mass-spectrometry analysis performed on isolated needle complexes.
This structural analysis of EscJ provides an exciting starting point in the quest to further understand the structure and function of the TTSS. Knowledge of this protein-transfer mechanism will eventually enable the design of novel inhibitors that can combat a broad range of diseases in which the TTSS plays a central role.

Penn State is used to going head to head with top national programs for football recruits.
When it came to Troy Reeder, though, the Nittany Lions were recruiting against another sport, too.
A year ago, Reeder gave a verbal commitment to North Carolina to play lacrosse. Maryland, Duke and Princeton's lacrosse teams pursued him, too.
Penn State, though, has had a lot of success of its own when it comes to attracting and developing linebackers over the years, and the Lion coaches managed to get the 6-foot-3, 232-pound all-state player from Salesianum School in Wilmington, Del. to change his mind last month following a visit.
"It was probably my top school going into the visit, but I was talking about when I wanted to decide, and I was saying I wanted to decide before summer. And after that visit and everything I saw there, I knew there wasn't going to be a spot that I found that would satisfy me any better. I knew this is where I wanted to be, and I was certain of it, so I wanted to make the commitment now," Reeder, who couldn't be reached by the Mirror, told Josh Moyer of ESPN's Nittany Nation website.
"Along with the visit, everything was just so impressive. My family and I got to sit down with Coach [Bill] O'Brien, and he talked about where the program was going. He told me he was going to see everyone at Penn State through all the sanctions and that he would be there for my career, so that was really huge. I have so much respect for him, and I talked to Coach [Ron] Vanderlinden a lot. He's a great, great guy."
To hear Salesianum coach Bill DiNardo, Reeder made a wise choice, because he's something of a natural when it comes to football.
"He's skilled enough to play safety. He's athletic enough to ply outside linebacker. He's tough enough to play inside linebacker. He's strong enough that he could put his hand in the dirt and play on the defensive line," DiNardo said. "He's a big, athletic kid. He's very cerebral. He could play anywhere on the field."
DiNardo isn't kidding. He's started Reeder since his freshman year and played him at a variety of positions in both 4-4 stack and 3-4 defenses. By the time he was a sophomore, Reeder was a second-team all-Delaware player. As a junior, he was first-team all-state on a 10-2 team even though he missed several games with an injured foot and his numbers were down a bit.
"He was a dominant force," DiNardo said. "Most teams ran away from him. He's as good across the field as he is when people run at him. He just gets to the ball really well."
Not only that, but Reeder has excelled on offense, too. Last season, he played running back and was picked third-team all-state. However, as a sophomore and a freshman, he played quarterback for the Sallies.
"He was a Tim Tebow-type of kid as a sophomore at quarterback," DiNardo said. "We just felt it was in his and our best interest long-term to play him at running back. People just bounce off him.
"Every day he impresses and amazes me."
DiNardo said Reeder projects as an inside linebacker in college, and it's been reported that he'll be the only player Penn State recruits at that position in this recruiting class.
"I'm a pretty big guy and I can play linebacker on the inside and outside. I played defensive end and safety this year, too," Reeder told Nittany Nation. "I think they see I can cover some of the best receivers in my league, and I think that's a big help, because Penn State wants me to play the middle linebacker position. I think what they saw is I could do one-on-one in coverages."
Reeder also had scholarship offers from schools like Miami, Pitt, Boston College, Rutgers, Virginia and Vanderbilt when he committed to Penn State. Vandelinden, the Lions' linebackers coach, handled his recruitment, and the chance to work with him was a big incentive for Reeder to head to Happy Valley.
"I would say that was a really, really big thing," Reeder said. "I've watched his videos, and my dad has his book. I've been coached by him at camp, and the one thing that I feel makes him such a great coach is his attention to detail and the little things and how they make you a great player. He's produced great linebackers in the past, and he has a great track record. I had the chance to be coached by him, and just doing it at camp one day, I was able to learn some things. So I think he and I together will really be able to refine my game make me the best I can be."
Reeder said, though, that Vanderlinden's presence was more the icing
on the cake than the deciding factor.
"I know things change. And, if anything were to happen, I need to know that I'm at a place where I'm happy even if I didn't have football," Reeder said. "I think something that makes Penn State really special is that at this time with their program, they're playing for a lot more than just wins.
"I want to help make a difference in their program no matter how early it is. I want to get out and help Penn State in their new chapter."

The Winnipeg Jets seemed to be toast in the playoff race after a five-game losing streak earlier this month. But they're back in it now. Big time.
The Jets improved to 6-0-1 in their last seven games with Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres — setting the stage for a huge Southeast Division showdown tonight in Washington against the Capitals.
The Caps are 13-2-1 in their last 16 games, a stretch that started with two wins on back-to-back nights in Winnipeg on March 21-22 by a combined 10-1 score. That sliced into what had been a nine-point lead for the Jets in the division.
Washington has 52 points and the Jets have 51. It's possible both teams could get in, as the New York Rangers and skidding Ottawa both have 52 as well and currently hold places 7-8 in the Eastern Conference.
"Tonight was the first step," said Winnipeg captain Andrew Ladd, who was named NHL First Star of the Week on Monday. "We didn't want to get ahead of ourselves. Now we've taken that step and we can focus on the biggest game of the year for us.
"It's been circled on our calendar for a long time now. We wanted to put ourselves in position where it's a meaningful game and we've done that, so here it is."
"The emotion is going to be into a totally different level than today," said defenseman Antti Miettinen, who scored the game-winner Monday with 7:36 left. "The crowd is really going to be into it."
Winnipeg last made the playoffs in 2007, when the franchise was still in Atlanta. Folks in Manitoba haven't seen Stanley Cup action since 1996, the final year of the original Jets franchise before it headed to Phoenix. The new Jets were 11th in the East last year in their debut season.
Miettinen's shot from the right point leaked through Jhonas Enroth's arm and gave the Jets their sixth straight win over Buffalo.
"I didn't see how it got in there. I was just listening to the crowd," he said. "It wasn't the easiest game for us. To be able to win that is great."
Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec made it stand up with 24 saves, including a scintillating glove stop on Thomas Vanek with about 5½ minutes left. Pavelec has a 1.00 goals-against average in his last six games against the Sabres.
"It just hit my glove," said a smiling Pavelec. "The guys deserved my help. They played really well the whole game."
In his first NHL game in more than a month after returning from junior, Sabres rookie Mikhail Grigorenko played 15:18. He centered Jochen Hecht and Drew Stafford while getting his second-highest ice time of the year.
"I got some confidence back in juniors, and I played with confidence," said Grigorenko, who had one shot on goal. "I was good on faceoffs (9-6), and when I'm doing good on faceoffs it gives me some more confidence. We had the puck more."
With his national team eliminated in February from next year's Sochi Olympics and coming off a 12th-place finish in last year's world championships, defenseman Christian Ehrhoff has committed to play for Germany in the worlds next month in Sweden and Finland. Former Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has previously been announced as the coach of Team Canada.
"I'm really excited to represent them," Ehrhoff said of his national team. "It's definitely not at a high right now. It's probably at a low point. We had a very bad finish last year, very disappointing. And obviously the non-qualification for the Olympics is very frightening and very sad."
Ehrhoff said leadership at the highest levels of the German hockey federation remains problematic and said he feels he has to represent his homeland.
"I definitely felt an obligation to do it. It's just not right to criticize the federation of German hockey and then not show up and help to try to change things," he said. "So I definitely felt like I needed to do it but I wanted to do it too. And I feel it can give me a positive ending to this season personally as well."
Grigorenko replaced Patrick Kaleta, who injured a hand Friday night. Interim coach Ron Rolston would not say if Kaleta would play either of the remaining two games.

LEWISTON – Carsen Chubak was away from hockey so long that even his coach forgot how good he could be.
Chubak never wavered, though. No matter where he was the last two years – in the doctor's office after knee and hip surgeries, in the gym during rehab or in the stands watching four other guys take over Niagara University's net – Chubak held firm in the belief that he could be a world-class goaltender.
He's proving it. The junior leads the NCAA in goals-against average (0.99), save percentage (.970) and shutouts (five) in a spellbinding return to the ice.
"I really always had this vision in mind," Chubak said Wednesday. "My last two years have been disappointing, to say the least. To have this right now and the way our team is playing right now is awesome."
The Purple Eagles have ridden their attention-grabbing goalie to a top-20 ranking. They are 8-2-3 heading into a pair of home games against Sacred Heart this weekend. Chubak is 8-1-3 in his first real action since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in November 2010.
"He was our No. 1 goalie as a freshman until he got hurt," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said. "I forgot that. People forget that. That was two years ago.
"This [success] doesn't come as a surprise. I think the big surprise of the whole story is him persevering through the last two years."
It has indeed been a long road to the top of college hockey for Chubak. The 23-year-old from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, played nine games as a freshman before injuring his knee. Nine months into his rehab, Chubak needed surgery for a hip ailment.
He struggled through an early season loss at Michigan in 2011-12 and never touched the ice again.
"Last year was just horrible," Chubak said before practice in Dwyer Arena. "I mean, we had [senior Chris] Noonan who was playing well, which was great for us and great for the team, but it was difficult for myself to watch. I was in the stands a lot. I wasn't even dressing very much, so it was really disappointing, really tough.
"Rehabbing both of those injuries last year was just a grind, then this summer was kind of nice because I didn't have to rehab really. I could just kind of focus on getting better again."
With his health back, Chubak is able to display the skills that have made him a winner at every stage in his career. The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder is quick, athletic and reads plays well. He has technical knowledge, but he blends various styles together in an all-out effort to keep pucks from the net.
"He's unorthodox, but he's a battler," Drew Schoneck, who coached Chubak in Tri-City of the United States Hockey League, said by phone. "He never gave up on a puck. There's spots where you thought, 'Oh god, what are you doing?' and he still managed to get a toe or a stick or a piece of his blocker to make a save. I think that's what really separates good goaltenders."
"He is so athletic that he'll come up with that [Dominik] Hasek-like save where everyone in the building is in shock," Burkholder added. "Because he's not blessed with that 6-2, 6-3 frame, he's at the top of the crease and uses athleticism and quickness, and his rebound control is phenomenal. I'm amazed in practice at how good this kid is."
After winning a championship in midgets in 2008-09 in the British Columbia Hockey League, Chubak joined the USHL. He backstopped Tri-City to a 29-25-6 record after it went 11-48-1 the previous season. He led the league in saves, recording 108 more than the second-place goalie.
"For lack of a better word, we were the Bad News Bears," Schoneck said. "We were kind of a ragtag bunch and Carsen faced a lot of rubber some nights. He stood tall."
The experience got Niagara's attention. The Purple Eagles were focused on two USHL netminders, so then-assistant coach Greg Gardner made a weekend trip to watch both play. Gardner told Burkholder that Chubak was their man.
Gardner, who starred in goal for Niagara before a six-year pro career, spent a lot of time watching games with Chubak while the netminder rehabbed his knee. They analyzed goalies to see what worked.
"I don't really consider myself similar to anybody," Chubak said. "A lot of goaltending schools teach one way to do things, and I don't really believe in that. I believe in whatever you feel comfortable doing. That's what I've really been trying to do this year. If you feel comfortable doing it and that's what I feel will keep the puck out of the net, that's what I'm going to do."
Folks in the colleges and pros have taken notice. Chubak has been named Atlantic Hockey Goalie of the Week five times so far. The number of NHL representatives at Niagara's games has increased, and so has their frequency.
"It's been a very busy time for Carsen because you're starting to get family advisers and NHL scouts, NHL assistant GMs," said Burkholder, who will go for his 200th career win Friday. "He needs to mentally stay focused, too, that this doesn't get to him. He's an older guy, junior tested, very mature, and none of this has gone to his head.
"But it would not surprise me if he continues this I think someone will be after him, and then it will be his decision if he wants to come back and graduate or not. Hopefully, he's not thinking that."
Chubak said he's thinking only about this season. He wants to help Niagara win upcoming games against Bowling Green, Air Force and RIT so it can move up from No. 20 in the rankings.
Chubak's dream, though, is to play pro. He's had it since he was 13. He came home from a youth-league game, sat down on the family steps and decided hockey would be his life.
The dream carried him through the previous two years of struggles. This season, he's doing what he can to turn his self-analysis on the stairs into reality.
"Whenever I don't want to go to the gym or something, I just think about that moment and it's good motivation," Chubak said. "It's nice to get recognized, especially after the last two years. ... This is where I feel comfortable."

A 22-year-old man was arraigned Friday on several charges, including attempted murder, stemming from a New Year's Day shooting in Buffalo, according to Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
Kevin "Booker" Miller was charged in a sealed indictment with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He's accused of using an illegally-possessed handgun to shoot Maynard Vanever, whom the district attorney identified as an Army private.
Vanever, who was shot twice while in the 2300 block of Bailey Avenue, refused to cooperate with authorities, police said at the time.
Charged with perjury in the case were Miller's 21-year-old brother, Keyon, and their aunt, Monique Wirt, 41, who allegedly offered false and misleading testimony on behalf of Kevin Miller.
The three were arraigned before Erie County Judge Sheila A. DiTullio.

Altoona's Kaycie Reffner has had many fine moments throughout her high school career but none any finer than Tuesday against Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic.
The senior guard knocked down not one, not two, but three 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter to lead the Lady Lions past Bishop Guilfoyle, 65-58, at a sold-out Pleasant Valley gym.
"She was huge," Altoona coach Jill Helsel said. "I challenged her at halftime to step up, and she did."

Altoona's Kaycie Reffner (left) and Bishop Guilfoyle's Brittany Boslet battle for the ball.
A tight game from the opening tip, the lead changed hands 14 times, five times in the fourth quarter alone.
When Halee Adams sank two free throws with 3:40 to play, BG led 52-51. Reffner then hit her first 3 to put Altoona back in the lead.
Adams tied the game with a driving layup for two of her game-high 22 points, but Reffner quickly answered with another 3-pointer that gave the Lady Lions the lead for good.
"The way they were doubling our bigs, I knew I had to step up and hit a big shot," Reffner said. "Once I hit that first one, I felt like I got in a real good rhythm."
Kayla Bates' two free throws pulled the Lady Marauders within a point, but Reffner's trey from the corner made it a two possession game with 1:52 remaining.
Altoona proceeded to spread the floor and sealed the win from the free throw line. Reffner made 3-of-4 from the line to finish with a team-high 20 points.
Reffner hit five 3-pointers in all, and fellow guard Lauren Donley drained four on her way to 14 points.
"It's not often that we have two guards in double digits," Helsel said. "We've been preaching all season that we need to have both a good inside and outside game. The girls inside found the open guards, and they knocked them down."
Kayla Grimme dominated the paint with 19 rebounds. The 6-foot-1 senior also scored 10 points for a double-double. Darby Lee added nine points and seven rebounds.
On one play alone early in the fourth quarter, Grimme pulled down rebound after rebound before finally scoring on her fourth chance.
"It's difficult when you're giving up a lot of size," BG coach Mark Moschella said. "We were trying to do as much as we could, but when Kristen Miller and Devin Stessney fouled out we were using a point guard on their post players. Reffner got some clean looks and did a nice job finishing."
Adams finished with a double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds to go along with her 22 points. Bates scored in double digits as well with 13 points.
For the eight BG seniors who have experienced so much success, the last home game of their high school careers goes down as a loss.
"It's rough. We had a hard time keeping up with their size," Bates said. "I think this will put a fire in our stomach the whole way through the district playoffs."
The 20-2 Lady Marauders play Westmont Hilltop in the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference championship game 6 p.m. Saturday at Richland High School. BG is the number one seed in the Class A district playoffs, which begin next week.
"I think the kids will take a lot out of this game," Moschella said. "We're disappointed we lost, but we showed we have the capability of winning this type of game. We'll be ready to come and out play next time."
Altoona closes out the regular season Thursday at Williamsport leading up to the District 6 Class AAAA playoffs. The seedings for that playoff bracket will be announced next week.
"We came in here, kept our composure and never panicked," Helsel said. "We've lost a lot of games by four points or seven points. We've learned from that, and the girls are being rewarded for all the hard work they've put in."
Game notes: Altoona outrebounded BG 35-20...Altoona made 55 percent of its 3-pointers, hitting 11-of-20...BG was nearly perfect from the free throw line, converting 15-of-16 free throws...Prior to the game, BG honored four students from the fall sports teams who received all-state honors: football player Nick Chesini and volleyball players Annie Dombrowski, Logan McIntosh and Rachel Potopa. Potopa was the Maxpreps.com Pennsylvania player of the week for her performance the week of Sept. 24.

PITTSBURGH - Try typing Brad Wanamaker, Gilbert Brown or Gary McGhee, plus game-winning shot, into a Google search.
You will find a few articles about players driving past this year's group of Pittsburgh seniors for winning shots but won't see one about them connecting on a shot.
Wanamaker, Brown and McGhee have had tremendous careers with the Panthers. The trio has gone 110-27 in their four years at Pitt, but none has had a defining moment.
Entering their final Big East tournament with a chance to become a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, all three will have plenty of chances to finally leave an unforgettable mark in Pitt history.
"We are happy with how we did this year, but this is just the first checkpoint," said Brown after Pitt defeated Villanova, 60-50, to clinch sole possession of the Big East regular season title Saturday. "After tonight, we're going to focus on New York [and the Big East tournament] and the opportunities we'll have there."
To be fair, the trio has made plenty of game-winning plays. They just happen to be in the middle of games, or not quite at the buzzer.
Whether it be an offensive rebound, taking a charge or diving for a loose ball, Wanamaker, Brown and McGhee have all done the little things to win games.
Brown changed Saturday's game with a 3-pointer to extend Pitt's lead to four and fuel a 14-2 run that put the contest away.
However, when it comes down to the final seconds, the trio has done more losing than winning.
In Pitt's 68-66 victory over Texas on Nov. 19, a game that could be key to the Panthers getting a No. 1 seed, junior Ashton Gibbs scored the final seven points. Against Rutgers, Gibbs made a 3-pointer to extend Pitt's lead to four with 58 seconds to play in a three-point win.
Gibbs also hit a game-winning 3-pointer against Providence last year and made a game-tying trey against West Virginia.
When the Panthers edged the Friars, 83-79 this year, it was sophomore Travon Woodall who scored the final four points.
Woodall hit a 3-pointer to put Pitt ahead by one with 12 seconds left against St. John's, but Dwight Hardy drove past Brown for the game-winning layup in the final second.
Brown later missed a jumper and a layup in the final minute of overtime against Louisville with the Panthers down by three points.
Wanamaker tried his luck against Notre Dame but missed a layup with 49 seconds left and Pitt down three in an eventual loss.
During the past 10 years in which Pitt has won either the Big East tournament or the regular season title six times, the Panthers have been known for not making the big shot to win close games in the NCAA Tournament.
One game-winner from Wanamaker, Brown or McGhee is all it would take to erase any failures the three have had in regular season close games throughout the years.
Seeing a senior come through with his career and legacy on the line might just be the spark this Pitt team needs to finally crash the Final Four party that has eluded them throughout their entire run under Jamie Dixon and Ben Howland.
"These seniors have given us leadership, on and off the court," Gibbs said. "They are very vocal in the gym every day. These guys have worked hard and improved in each game, and that's something I'll take away from this group of seniors."
Now that all the talking is done, all that's left is to hit that big shot that helps Pitt survive an inevitable NCAA Tournament scare and reach its potential.

Club for Growth Gives Cruz, Lee and 4 Other Lawmakers 100% Ratings
Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky were among the top Republicans receiving high ratings from the influential antitax Club for Growth, which released its annual scorecard of House and Senate lawmakers on Monday.
Mr. Cruz , along with Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) and Rep. Matt Salmon (R., Ariz.), make up a select group of lawmakers from either the House and Senate who can boast of a perfect 2013 and lifetime score from the group. Those three, along with Reps. Trent Franks (R., Ariz.), Tom McClintock (R., Calif.) and David Schweikert (R., Ariz.) were the only lawmakers to receive a perfect 100% score for 2013, according to the group.
"While there are more champions of pro-economic growth policy serving in Congress than at any time before, it's clear that our fight against the big spenders in both parties has a long way to go," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a statement.
In describing the methodology behind its system, the group said it rates legislative actions based on whether they achieve the group's policy goals. These include limiting the size of the federal government, lowering income tax rates, encouraging free trade and deregulation. For 2013, the group counted 31 House votes and 29 Senate votes, as well as provided additional points for other actions taken by lawmakers.
Underscoring the rift between House GOP leadership and more conservative outside groups, few top Republicans are near the top of the list. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) was given a 68% on the group's scorecard, while House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was given a 53%. House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), didn't receive a score from the Club for Growth, owing to the fact the speaker traditionally doesn't always cast a vote.
Predictably, Democrats didn't fare well under the Club for Growth's rating system. In the Senate, 19 Democrats scored zero in 2013, and only three – Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, and Mark Warner of Virginia – topped 10%. Reps. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina and Jim Matheson of Utah were the highest-scoring House Democrats on the scorecard, both receiving a 40% rating and outpacing a handful of GOP lawmakers.

An initiative to expand access to free, high-quality educational materials in Arabic
US Department of State unveils Open Book Project
In late January, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled the Open Book Project (remarks, project page, press notice), an initiative to expand access to free, high-quality educational materials in Arabic, with a particular focus on science and technology. These resources will be released under open licenses that allow their free use, sharing, and adaptation to local context.
The initiative will:
- Support the creation of Arabic-language Open Educational Resources (OER) and the translation of existing OER into Arabic.
- Disseminate the resources free of charge through project partners and their platforms.
- Offer training and support to governments, educators, and students to put existing OER to use and develop their own.
- Raise awareness of the potential of OER and promote uptake of online learning materials.
Creative Commons is proud to be a part of the Open Book Project, partnering with the Department of State; the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization; and our open colleagues around the world. CC licenses are core to OER, providing the world's teachers and students the rights needed to legally reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute educational resources. When education content is CC licensed, it may be legally translated into (or from) Arabic and any other language. Using CC licenses provides an unprecedented opportunity to ensure OER are able to bridge cultures and fill educational gaps that exist on a global, regional, and local level.
In Clinton's words, "Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. It's incumbent upon all of us to keep opening doors of opportunity, because walking through it may be a young man or young woman who becomes a medical researcher and discovers a cure for a terrible disease, becomes an entrepreneur, or becomes a professor who then creates the next generation of those who contribute.
When digital learning resources can be openly licensed and shared for the marginal cost of $0, many educators believe we collectively have an ethical and moral obligation to do so. Congratulations to all of the partners who will work together to help more people access high quality, affordable educational resources.

So, free leftist propaganda for the Arabs? How nice.
Very concise comment AC,....but no,
that's not a good summary of what this article is about.
The article describes an initiative to make educational resources available to the public all over the world.
"...harnessing the connective power of technology to give as many people as possible access to the highest-quality learning materials is a good idea whose time has come..."
This is what the Wikipedia is about, what Khan Academy, TED, OpenCourseWare, the Open Access movement, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), are all about:
"Making Education available to Everyone"
Why does it have to be free for people to access ?
Because imposing any price to access it will raise barriers that will prevent these resources from reaching their final destinations. We are talking about making education available to individuals who live on less than $1 a day, sometimes much less than that. They, I assure you, do not have credit cards.
This doesn't mean that it is Free to create and produce these resources. There is certainly a cost to it, and here is where understanding basic concepts of Economics is important. I do get paid for preparing college level classes. Once I have prepared a college class, and recorded it in Video, it cost the same to let 100 people watch it, than to let 10 million people watch it. Therefore, at that point, imposing restrictions to its distribution is actually a waste of the resources that were invested in creating the materials in the first place.
We *already* invest the resources needed to create these materials, since we *already* teach those courses anyway. In fact, I have to interrupt my weekend of creating online materials for a Databases and a Web Development classes at college level, in order to address your comment here.
Why does it have to be available in Arabic?
Because Arabic is spoken as a first language by more than 280 million people, and as a second language by another 250 million.
The fact that the resources are made available in Arabic is simply a matter of making them accessible to people in their native languages, instead of expecting them to be fluent in English.
These same resources are being translated to many other languages. Just as the Wikipedia is available in 285 languages:
Khan Academy videos have been translated to more than 20 languages (including Farsi, Arabic, Greek, Spanish, Polish and Mandarin ).
TED Videos have been translated (by volunteers) to more than 100 languages:
One can not expect that an 8 years old girl in Ecuador, will be fluent in English, and therefore exclude her from high quality education, just because we imposed an artificial language barrier on the resources that we publish online.
English is the native language of only 5% of the world's population:
The world is a much more diverse place than what we tend to think.
Labelling Education as "leftist propaganda" is quite simplistic, and it is propagandistic in itself.
Let's not forget that Education is a Human Right, not a privilege to be reserved only for English native speakers who carry credit cards.
We have come a long way, we are not in the 1950's any more, the cold war is over. We now live in a networked world where Economics are based on services, and knowledge-based production. Here and now, having Education available to every one is essential, and Openness is the Economically Smart way to get there.
I'll dip a toe in here, since you provided an interesting and useful reply, Luis.
While I found the article's lead off around Arabic a bit odd, the second half provided the background around the Open Book project provided the broader context.
It's Luis's comments that made me think more about remuneration of academic and other education/research professionals in the public sphere. As Luis's mentions, since the marginal cost of distribution is effectively zero, why not distribute it freely?
I am not an academic, but I am married to one. Given the budget constraints faced by universities in my country (Canada), I am concerned that the free distribution of content, carried to its logical conclusion, will affect the ability of professional public educators and researchers to earn a living. Worse still, I believe the push towards open access will actually push future graduate students towards private sector research institutes, which will most certainly have restrictions on the distribution of their intellectual property without economic incentive.
However, I'm not immune to the arguments that Luis makes around the importance of universal access to education, regardless of financial situation. It's simply too important to neglect the opportunity to improve the livelihoods of literally billions of people through improved access to educational resources.
If the ability to pay should not restrict access to online courseware, is the opposite not also true? That is, if you can pay, should you not in order to fairly compensate academics (and their supporting institutions) for their investment?
This creates a somewhat terrifying situation where every academic is constantly competing with their peers for both research dollars and student tuition, but the potential market is so much larger, maybe that will even out in the end. Maybe.
I've seen how this outsourcing model can drive down marginal costs, as the labour pool expands beyond national borders. Starting with IT, we have seen crowd- and outsourcing applied to legal, translation, finance, photography and yes, even research initiatives. This has caused significant changes to various industries.
I don't have an answer, but it seems there is a danger in universal access to education via the Internet. The initial adoption will work well for both teachers and students, but over time, without new sources of revenue, the number of trained academics will shrink, even as the demand for education increases.
What could be more important as we amass historic amounts of debt than expanding "access to free, high-quality educational materials in Arabic, with a particular focus on science and technology?" Argh. Did I stumble upon the Onion without realizing it? Certainly this can't be real?
I would think that a higher priority would be to provide "access to free, high-quality educational materials" to people in our own country who are lacking a good education, and to try to improve the general public's understanding of STEM topics.
So... since I am in college right now and pay in excess of several hundred dollars per book... they plan to provide me with free books? Or just to foreign nationals and people who are not US citizens or able to fluently speak English?

Fallon, who welcomed daughter Winnie Rose with wife Nancy Juvonen (via surrogate) on July 23, took to Twitter Wednesday to prove his devotion to his first "kid," pooch Gary.
"I'll always love you, Gary," Fallon captioned a photo of the dog lying dejectedly next to what appears to be a baby basket.
Not that Gary has anything to worry about: Fallon brought home his doggy addition last September, and gushed about her on his talk show, too.
"She's really, really cute," he said during an October taping, which she attended. "I do love her so much."
Besides, Fallon himself cleared up any confusion. "My dog is happy and healthy and just taking care of her little sister," he later added on Twitter.

Hello nosebleed, my old friend.
Guess what? Nosebleeds are scary. One minute you're surfing mentalfloss.com and giggling like a loon, and the next minute Widdle walks in to offer you some black grapes (they're delicious) and staggers back screaming, "Oh my God!"
Nosebleeds are sneaky, too. I don't feel them "coming on." There's no itch or tingle. I'm just going about my bidness when suddenly my upper lip is damp and a rivulet drips briskly into my lap, like a faucet someone forgot to turn all the way off.
I never had a nosebleed until eight years ago. Unfortunately, my husband discovered it. I was cleaning the bathroom and heard him come in the house. I threw open the door and yelled, "Daddy's home!" (That's for the dog's benefit, in case you were wondering.)
I rushed into the hallway and into his arms—or I would have, if he hadn't grabbed my shoulders and yelled, "Oh, my God!"
I had a half-dozen more nosebleeds, but shrugged them off. (Here's my personal health policy: I won't go to the doctor for anything less than a sucking chest wound or visible bone shards.)
Then one morning Widdle woke up before me, rolled over for a kiss and was treated to the lovely vision of his wife's bloody face stuck to the pillowcase.
He woke me up shouting, "Oh, my God!" (Widdle is nothing if not consistent.)
Even I thought it was odd to have sleeping nosebleeds, so I went to a highly-respected ear, nose and throat specialist. I explained that I didn't take aspirin or any other blood thinners, drink to excess or have untreated high blood pressure. (My BP is actually so low I make a sloth look manic.)
He pinched and probed and peered up my nose and then announced, "Some people just have nosebleeds. No big deal. But if you have three per week for a month, come back." Now, I get light-headed giving blood for a physical. Three nosebleeds a week for a month, and I'd be dead. But who am I to argue? When a doctor says don't worry, I don't worry.
I went home and told Widdle, "Some people just have nosebleeds. No big deal." And I didn't have another one for eight years.
My sister, Moonbeam, used to get nosebleeds when she was upset. It was quite dramatic: Her green eyes welled with tears, her perfect complexion turned chalky and blood would dribble down her chin. Once she got one during a loud argument with Mom, who yelled, "Nosebleed my eye, you're STILL grounded!"
Then there was an editor in North Carolina who had nosebleeds every Tuesday, on deadline. The staff used to bring in Kleenex, but he preferred his old-school pocket handkerchiefs. (They went with his old-school bowties.)
He was an excellent editor and a gentleman. He'd always announce: "You know what day it is, my friends. Stand back!" And he never once bled on the layout pages. That's professionalism.
A Google search for "nosebleeds" reveals that they're quite common, more so among men. Famous bleeders include Gary Busey, Elton John and Attila the Hun, who strangled on his own blood. Knowing this does not make me feel better. Nor does reading about an Englishman who actually died from a nosebleed in 2011.
I think I'll stay off Google for a while. And go check my upper lip, while I'm at it.

The totally gorgeous wife of Gerard Way (the lead singer of My Chemical Romance) and the bassist of Mindless Self Indulgence. She currently lives in West New York, New Jersey with her husband. Her trademark is her famous backbend she does at most shows, and her clothing style- she wears mini skirts, fishnets and highheeled boots. She also has several tattoos.
Lyn-Z and Gerard are an awesome couple. Anyone who thinks she sucks is a fucking asshole. She is very nice and they are in love. Deal with it.

Lyn-Z, born as Lindsey Ann Ballato on May 22, 1979, is the extremely talented and very beautiful bass player of the incredible techno-punk band Mindless Self Indulgence, which she joined in 2001. She can complete impressive back bends while playing the bass and crowd surfs in most of her MSI shows. Lyn-Z recently married her longterm love, Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance (also known as the greatest alternative band ever).
"This band has worked our fucking asses off for 10 fucking years. We should play no matter what - sick, broken, we still played. Iv'e cried my eyes out before I've walked out on stage and still put on a performance that I was proud of. A lot of this comes back to my desire to inspire, particularly women, because when I was a kid and going to punk rock shows, there weren't any girls on stage playing instruments that weren't there as a pretty prop. Girls that weren't afraid to get their make-up smeared and look sweaty.. To be fearless and make the stage their own. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning. To suddenly have that all taken away from me, and become 'the wife of', is without a doubt the most disappointing and fucking heartbreaking thing that could ever happen, because it's exactly the opposite of what I stand for. It's not only detrimental to me as a person, but the message that this fucking conveys to the girls that come to see us play is 'You can work your ass off for ten years and you can be amazing, but at the end of the day you will simply be who you're married to. Is this nineteen-fucking-fifty-three?" - Lyn-Z

And you thought the TV weather guys were having a cow about the snow ...
Police got an unexpected call amid the snowstorm that struck the region midday Friday when they were alerted to a Jersey calf being kept in a garage of a house on Humboldt Parkway.
They responded and also surprised some neighbors.
"I thought it was a drug raid," said Keith Arnold, who was shoveling the sidewalk in front of his grandmother's house a couple of doors down from where the animal was found when he noticed police cars and other official-looking vehicles circling the area.
He wandered over and saw police lugging something from the garage through the snow.
"I knew it was too heavy to be drugs," Arnold said.
Only later did he learn that his grandma's neighbors were keeping the bull calf in their garage as well as two chickens.
Another neighbor, who declined to give her name, said she was stunned to see animal control officers leading a brown calf to their van.
"A baby cow," she questioned, "in the city?"
The woman pointed out that Buffalo residents are allowed to keep chickens in their yards but only if they get their neighbors' consent and apply for a permit as well.
She said she didn't believe the resident of the Humboldt house had taken any such steps.
But cows?
She knows – and thinks most people do, too – that the city is no place for a large farm animal.
There was no answer Friday afternoon at the door of the home, located on the corner of Humboldt and Woepple Street.
The garage, a detached building to the rear of the house, had a boarded-up door. There was no obvious evidence that livestock was being kept there.
The SPCA was called in to help take care of the animal – a 2-month-old bull calf that has since been named Norman, said SPCA spokeswoman Gina Browning.
Authorities aren't exactly sure what plans the calf's owners had for it. "We're getting conflicting stories," Browning said.
The calf will be cared for over the weekend at the SPCA's Town of Tonawanda facility, where a veterinarian was expected to give it a thorough checkup to determine whether it had been abused or harmed in any way. Animal control officers took the chickens. No charges were filed in the case.
Finding a calf on the East Side came as a surprise to many at the SPCA.
"I've been here 23 years," Browning said, "and this is the first calf in a garage I've ever heard of. And I can say that with certainty."
