Well said. I like how holland stressed that we needed a top scoring forward and yet he backtracks were fine when he loses out on all these forwards. Same goes for d.. I think we outta start worrying of drafting north American hockey players instead of euros every yr if we wanna land Canadian,American players. I personally think its hurting our team when it comes to free agency. Holland hasn't made any moves at the trade deadline for a few years now. His confidence were okay with the team we have is losing credibility with the wings being bounced from the playoffs so quick. Man I almost wish we had Stevie y as our gm.
He's active and headed in the right direction with the lightning.
Yeah then we have the unproven Lindback as our number 1 goalie. and Matt Carle for 6 years 5.5 million. No Thanks.
I don't think many NHL players have a prejudice against European players.

The F1 veteran Rubens Barrichello and the Venezuelan driver Pastor Maldonado are anticipated to be re-signed by Williams racing seat for the 2012 season.
And the Williams Team Chairman Adam Parr clearing up that it is 'vastly the most likely outcome' at the end of the year. The Grove-based squad has endured its worst ever start to a Grand Prix season, but amid a vast array of structural changes, both Barrichello and Maldonado look set to remain on-board.
"Yes. I think that's vastly the most likely outcome," Parr is quoted as saying by Reuters when discussing the probability of both men retaining their respective seats at the outfit next year.
"I always believed, and people derided us or me for saying it, but I think he's (Maldonado) a very, very talented driver. His record in GP2 certainly earned him a place in Formula 1 and you could see the speed. What I think he's begun to show is a degree of consistency and maturity that perhaps people didn't expect as well."
Williams Technical Director Sam Michael further praised the young Venezuelan, stating that the GP2 title holder 'should really excel in 2012' when he is more accustomed to the current Formula 1 calendar.
"Pastor is doing a really solid job. As a rookie, he is particularly strong on the circuits he has driven on before. All the signs are showing that he should really excel in 2012 once he knows all the circuits we visit and so can turn up to each race and just concentrate on driving fast."

text: Hi Vijay, glad to have you aboard! Regarding your question, I'm unsure which of two possibilities you're asking about. The first possibility is the one I take Tyler and Zane to be answering, in which case I would give the same answer. (Though note that there techniques for blinded computation more practical, but more specialized than, multi-party secure computation. Some of these might be adapted to better answering this first possibility, such as Eric Hughes' encrypted open books (URL anyone?) and "Practical Techniques for Searches on Encrypted Data" http://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/papers/se.ps by Dawn Song, David Wagner, and Adrian Perrig. In any case, capability technologies such as E and EROS make no significant contribution to such solutions, so I'll ignore them for the remainder of this message.) At 09:11 AM Sunday 1/28/01, Vijay Saraswat wrote: >My question is about neither -- its about how this can be accomplished on >a networked computer, run by a *third party*. > >... my real question is: how do we think of computation, how do we >organize it such that it even becomes possible for system designers to >provide such guarantees? This "*third party*" suggests a second possibility. Does your question correspond to the following scenario? Third party computation host Harold is running a computation service (eg, a timesharing service) based on hardware that he alleges only he has physical access to and the ability to tamper with. On this hardware, he allegedly runs an untampered capability platform capable of confinement (KeyKOS, EROS, or E). Harold knows nothing of financial data or financial computation -- he's just providing a general purpose secure computational service. Or so he says. Alice is the customer, wishing to aggregate her financial data. Mallet is the provider of proprietary financial aggregation software and services. Alice trusts Mallet to the extent that she is willing to pay to see what Mallet's software would say about her finances, but she does not want her financial data to be revealed to Mallet. Alice would like to steal Mallet's analysis program (so she can avoid paying next time), but is willing to proceed with the transaction even if she can't. Mallet is willing to let his software be run on Alice's data in exchange for Alice's money, but does not want his program to be revealed to Alice (not even the binary executable -- decompilation is a rather trivial form of cryptanalysis). Mallet would like to steal Alice's data, but is willing to proceed with the transaction even if he can't. Without introducing a mutually trusted third party (or the kind of fancy crypto mentioned above), Alice and Mallet are stuck. They cannot find a mutually acceptable arrangement. Fortunately, for purposes of this transaction, they are both willing to rely on Harold to run his hosting service in the way he alleges. Note that this reliance is unverifiable, either before or after the transaction. This is exactly the standard scenario motivating capability confinement. See http://www.erights.org/elib/capability/confinement.html , and please look at least at the top diagram before proceeding. Abstractly, Mallet arranges for Alice to be able to instantiate Bob on Harold's hosting service in such a way that Alice can be assured Bob is confined, contingent on her reliance on Harold. Concretely, In KeyKOS If Harold's service is running KeyKOS, then Mallet would create a BobFactory, and give Alice access to that. Alice would first verify that BobFactory is indeed a Factory, and then do a "hole check" (see http://www.erights.org/elib/capability/factory.html ) to see if the initial set of communications channels a factory instance (a Bob) would be endowed with are acceptable, as far as the assurance she is seeking is concerned. In EROS I haven't really followed the EROS Constructor (EROS's confinement mechanism) , so I'll let Jonathan speak for it. The Simple Story Supported by stl-E-0.8.9k (At the time of this writing, stl-E-0.8.9k is the latest release of E, which supports the confinement part of the following story, but not the distribution. The previous release, tl-otc-E-0.8.9, supports the secure distribution but not the confinement.) If Harold's service is running E, then Mallet would upload a BobMaker.emaker file to Harold's machine, to be installed by Harold on his CLASSPATH. Alice would remotely <import:...> this using Harold's E's importing service (technically, the object known by the name "import__uriGetter" in the universalScope of a Vat run on Harold's machine), obtaining the object it evaluates to. The E import mechanism guarantees (given that Harold is running an untampered implementation of E) that the resulting object graph contains no capabilities that would let it effect the world outside of itself. Further, although this object graph is stateful, all mutable state in this graph is reachable only from the object resulting from the import action. Each separate <import:...> ing of the same name results in a fresh instantiation of this graph and all its internal state. To map the concepts to KeyKOS, the E importing service is like a hole-less factory whose instantiation message does not allow its client to provide instantiation-time arguments. Therefore, it's yield (the object graph it instantiates) can have new internal state, but no further authority-providing capabilities. Because this object is authority-less, the typical E style is to treat this object in a Factory-like way, and use it to instantiate other objects. In this case, Alice might remotely say on Harold's machine: define BobMaker := <import:com.mallet.finance.BobMaker> which looks up "com/mallet/finance/BobMaker.emaker" in Harold's CLASSPATH, and evaluates the E expression in this file in the (non-authority-granting) universalScope. The result of this evaluation is assigned to BobMaker. define Bob := BobMaker new(/*...access to Alice's data...*/) Endowing Bob with data and powers not to be leaked to Mallet ... (Bob getBalance) ... Asking Bob to use those powers and data to answer Alice's question. Note: to actually do this remotely in E, Alice must first obtain from Harold the "import__uriGetter" from Harold's vat, which she might call "farImporter" (using the naming conventions from E in a Walnut http://www.skyhunter.com/marcs/ewalnut.html#SEC46 ). The above remote computation would then be expressed by her as: define FarBobMaker := farImporter <- get("com.mallet.finance.BobMaker") define FarBob := FarBobMaker <- new(/*...access to Alice's data...*/) ... (FarBob <- getBalance) ... Of course, Alice has no assurance that Bob will give her good answers, and it's well beyond the scope of capability mechanisms by themselves to enable her to have such assurance. (Although proof carrying code (PCC) http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~necula/pcc.html combined with E's auditors (see next message), could provide Alice such assurance while not revealing Mallet's code to her. We have no current plans to support PCC, so I won't mention it further.) This story has a probably fatal weakness: The need for Mallet to occupy a name in Harold's CLASSPATH's namespace, which Alice then needs to access by name. Though this problem can be avoided even in current E, I won't explain how (unless someone's interested). Rather, in the next message I'll explain E's not yet implemented plans to provide better confinement support via "auditors". Cheers, --MarkM

Word that a Canadian cardinal is a presumed contender to succeed Pope Benedict has been met with a mixed response in hisown backyard.
Advocates for victims of sexual abuse by priests and even a member of the clergy aren't quite in Marc Cardinal Ouellet's cheering section.
The idea of a global icon emerging from here has stirred the local imagination.
But that excitement is tempered by the fact that Ouellet's home province has become intensely secular and even anti-clerical over the years.
Rev. Raymond Gravel says amid this decline the Catholic church should be looking for a pope who has worked closely to the world's poor — not another theologian.
The former Bloc Quebecois MP says he doesn't know if Ouellet fits this bill.

Are Winter Olympic Games Forcing 2014 Oscars Into March?
Are the Oscars moving even later into March next year? All signs say 'yes' and the Academy would be wise to announce this sooner than later.
Despite annual (and always wrong) media speculation (including a recent column in a well-known show biz trade) that the Academy Awards are planning to move a month earlier into January insiders have repeatedly told me the Academy's Board has no taste for that, and as at least one former top officer in the organization told me over the weekend, contractually they can't do it.
Though they haven't yet announced any dates for the next Oscar race, the schedule of the Winter Olympics being held in Sochi, Russia February 7 through the 23rd puts a big crimp in any plans to keep the Oscars even on in its current berth on the last Sunday of February where it would run smack into the Closing Night ceremonies. In the past when this has come up the Academy has always moved the Oscar show to the first Sunday in March which would be on the 2nd next year. Quite frankly there is nowhere else for the show to go. Do the math.
With the Super Bowl already claiming Sunday February 2nd and the Olympics taking the remaining three Sundays, the earliest date available would be January 26th and every source with whom I have spoken tells me that is the date CBS is claiming for the Grammys next year (moving two weeks earlier than their February 10, 2013 date). Also getting the message are the major show biz Guilds which have all already staked out their 2014 dates and sprayed the territory.
SAG jumped the gun on February 8 and quickly announced their show would be Saturday January 18, a week earlier than usual. On February 21, the Producers Guild followed and took Sunday January 19, also a week earlier than this year's event was held. Last week the Directors Guild announced they too would go a week earlier than 2013 and will present their awards on January 25. A top executive with one of those guilds told me they have been assured by Academy officials that the Oscars will move on to that March 2nd date, so no conflict is expected and there will likely be an even bigger gap than usual between the guild shows and the Oscars. Of course the Golden Globes will almost definitely stay on the weekend where they usually reside, and so Sunday January 12th is their likely date (but not yet announced).
With the difficulties Academy members encountered seeing everything in time to vote for nominations which were moved up to a January 10th announcement this year (with voting taking place over the holidays Dec 17-Jan 4), it is just not feasible to move the actual Oscar show any earlier than it already is, and top sources in the Academy tell me ABC also has a lot to say about the date too. Contractually the Academy has to adhere to certain guidelines regarding the date.
And with ratings up for this year's Seth MacFarlane-hosted show, the pressure to move for ratings improvements would seem to be off for this year at least. The fact that the Academy smartly had six weeks instead of four between nominations and the show also allowed the nominated films more playing time in theaters and grosses increased markedly. Silver Linings Playbook for instance nearly doubled its gross and shot over $100 million in that period. The longer gap actually turned out to be good news for exhibitors and that was part of the Academy's thinking in allowing more time for distributors to exploit their nominations. It also probably actually helped the ratings by giving the viewers more time to see the nominated films and develop a rooting interest. Six of the nine Best Picture nominees grossed well over $100 million and a seventh (Zero Dark Thirty) almost hit the mark.
With a March 2nd Oscar show all but a done deal, it will be interesting to see what date the Academy chooses to announce their nominations next year. With one more week to play with they could give more time up front and announce around January 16th and still have that six-week period leading up to the show. Of course they could also choose to keep the nomination announcement just three days before the Globes as they did this year. Many observers thought the Academy did this in part to blunt attention for the rival Golden Globes, but in fact it may have inadvertently brought even more attention to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's show as ratings for that NBC juggernaut were up 17% from the previous edition and the highest in six years.
At any rate it's looking like exactly one year from today we will all be nursing our Monday morning Oscar hangover and celebrating the end of an even longer awards season.
I think you have SAG and PGA dates backwards. SAG has always aired on a Sunday night, hasn't it?
Nevermind…just saw the SAG release. Makes zero sense to me as far as not sticking to it's usual Sunday night spot.
The Oscars used to be at the end of March that was the best date for them it never made sense to move them into February. Push them back to March 25th or March 30th.
Thank you, I could not agree more — I can't stand this yearly game of when the oscars are going to air — January is so ridiculous — as you said you need time for people and voters to see the films and generate interest in the show itself.
One thing that I'm curious about — is that you say that they are contractually obligated — which is the first I'm EVER hearing about this.
The oscars don't need to move their schedule for anyone, they are the Academy Awards — and somewhere along the line they seem to have lost faith in themselves by feeling that other awards shows have affected them.
What is so wrong about expecting people to have seen the year's Oscar nominees by the end of January? The awards show is supposed to be a celebration of the year's best films, not a celebration of the best films that received a limited release in late December before expanding in mid-January.
IMO, one of the reasons that people care less about the Oscars these days is because when the list of nominees comes out, people see a whole list of films they haven't seen and think "what's the point?" Ideally the list should have a number of blockbusters, breakouts, and buzzed-about indies so that January is spent "catching up" on films that people might have missed during the previous year instead of scrambling to watch a dozen films that were only seen the previous year by people who had DVD screeners delivered right to their doors.
They didn't begin airing in February until 2004. Prior to that year, they aired in March and April….always April until the 1970s.
Not only should they move to late March, but put them back on on a Monday night like they used to be. I (and so many others) are in pissy enough moods on Sunday nights anyway, Monday would be a welcome return.
March 2nd is probably the right date to have it. The real issue that needs to be addressed is having the show over by 11 pm. Most of us have to work early Monday morning and having it over at a reasonable time is key. ABC should start the red carpet coverage at 7 and the show should start right at 8.
Since the Oscars are on a Sunday, when most people aren't at work or school, I could see:
(1) ABC ending Sunday-afternoon programming on Oscar Day at 5 P.M. EST.
(2) Local stations getting (in the East) a half-hour of local news at 5 P.M. EST.
(3) The "Red-Carpet Show" running from 5:30 to 7 EST.
(4) The Academy Awards ceremony starting at 7 EST.
(5) The Oscar show probably would end sometime around 10 or 10:15 P.M. EST; from there until 11 EST, ABC could broadcast live post-show interviews with winners.
(6) Or, if on Oscar Day, ABC decides not to give local stations an early-evening news window, the network could run one NBA basketball game at 12 Noon EST, then from 2:30 until the start of the Red-Carpet show, air various programs that could range from retrospectives of past Oscar shows, roundtables of film critics predicting what films will win, a review of the year in motion pictures, etc.
I think the ratings would be much higher because I think one problem with TV ratings for the Academy Awards is that the show goes on so late in the East, that some people simply don't watch, and many who do head off to sleep before the end.
Sometimes, I think the Motion Picture Academy believes that no one lives east of the Rockies!
The Academy screwed up thinking February is a sweeps ratings month and it's the middle of winter in most of the country so we'll get a bigger number of viewers but late March really was the best date that's when they always were held. When did they move forward a month? It seems like it was fairly recently and it's never been as good. There are too many other awards shows on TV in January and February.
And members should have all of Jan and Feb to look at the potential nominees the Nomination Announcement should be on March 1st and let's do away with the absurd 5:30 AM west coast time that is a relic from the old days. Make the nominee announcement at 1:30 PM west coast time so that the local news at 5 PM on the east coast can lead with the nominated films.
The announcement of the Oscar nominations should be a prime-time special at 9 P.M. Eastern Time on a Thursday night.
Besides the announcements, there could also be some production numbers; a top comedian could also do a monologue.
If the Oscar show remains on the last Sunday of the February sweeps, perhaps the voting window can be shortened so that the prime-time nominations announcement special could air on the first night of the sweeps.
Or ABC can do a primetime show at 10 PM Eastern and 7 PM Pacific, as far as nominations are concerned.
That would be very smart if they do it on a Sunday night it would get huge ratings it has to air live in every time zone from east to west. The Academy won't take any of this good advice they are arrogant snobs.
Given that the Winter Olympics are in Sochi, Russia, where the closing ceremonies on February 23rd, 2014 would be in early afternoon Eastern time, I can see the Motion Picture Academy keeping the date of the 2014 Academy Awards as February 23rd.
NBC could air the closing ceremonies live in the afternoon (Eastern time), and thus avoid conflict with the Oscars.
The only way that happens is if Disney becomes an Olympic sponsor and forces the issue for NBC. BTW, as I am writing this, it is 2:41 AM Tuesday Morning and my, local time in North Dakota, 4:41 PM on Monday. The Opening and Closing Ceremonies could start as early as 6 AM Central Time or 7 AM Eastern.
So happy that so many of you agree that it should be returned to March — SPEAK UP SUPPORTERS!!!! It's frustrating given that academy members must also choose to nominate during the holiday season and be expected to see every movie. Why rush the process?
My question is why would the grammys be moving out of sweeps?
Dump the fucking Olympics! Who cares? I anticipate the Oscars all year, the viewing audience is huge, just go away Olympics.

Credit due sailor who fired first shot
by Oscar Roloff
I've waited years for acknowledgment and appreciation to go to the sailor who fired the first shot at the attacking Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Disgusted with no Navy action, I've asked the Pearl Harbor Survivor's Association to put pressure on them.
I'm asking Ken Browne, a member, to either seek funds for a movie or to ask the Navy to place a statue at the Wall in Washington D.C.
The movie industry should reproduce the scene that took place on the destroyer USS Tucker DD374 when gunner's mate Walter Bowe was the first to open fire on the attacking aircraft even though he had no official order to do so.
The scene took place on the aft deck of the ship. He and I were there to note the aircraft overhead. They had red-painted rings on their wings. He knew they were there to attack us and yanked off the canvas cover of his 50-caliber machine gun.
He yelled to me, "Slam a drum of ammo into the gun's breech." This I did and immediately Bowe opened fire on the now lower and closer enemy craft. It was seconds later that other gunners opened fire.
There should be a warship in moth balls which would resemble the Tucker and she could be rigged for the attacking scene.
If not, a wooden mock up could be utilized.
Ken Browne was aboard and saw the whole scene. He should be asked to work on the scenes.
Then, at the Wall in Washington D.C. there should be a statue showing a sailor leaning over a 50-caliber machine gun and firing at aircraft overhead.
I do not care to credit myself for loading the gun. At that time, I had to obey Bowe because he was my boss at the scene. An order is an order. Yet he fired without official permission. In times like that permission has to take a back seat. Bowe should receive due credit.
As for the 50-caliber gun, I knew little about it. A few months earlier I had been a dumb farm kid milking cows and slopping hogs.

Oct. 7, 1937 - May 3, 2014

She was born in Altoona, daughter of the late Raymond M. and Florence (Manley) Strunk.
Article Photos
Surviving are a sister, Eunice J. "Babe" Appleman and her husband, Byron, of Blairsville; a nephew, Rick Strunk; a niece, Kathy Robison; and her adopted family: Norma Lee, Lois, Rodger and Lisa.
She was preceded in death by a brother, Raymond M., in 1999.
Suzanne was a 1955 graduate of Bellwood-Antis High School. She retired as a caseworker for Blair County after many years of service with Children & Youth Services and other agencies. Suzanne dedicated her life to the social needs and the welfare of others, especially children and youth.
Suzanna was a volunteer at The Hope Center, Bellwood; and when asked to volunteer, her answer was always "sure." Suzanne will be remembered for her vibrant smile. She was a member of Logan's Valley Baptist Church, Bellwood, where she participated with the Relay For Life team.
Friends will be received from 10:30 until the 11:30 a.m. funeral service Tuesday, May 6, 2014, at Jon C. Russin Funeral Home Inc., Bellwood, the Rev. Timothy Flanagan officiating. Interment will be at Logan Valley Cemetery, Bellwood. The family suggests contributions be made to Logan's Valley Baptist Church Relay For Life Team.

I've owned it for awhile, I know the bull case, but I can find nothing new today to explain this move or this volume. What is happening?
Thanks Abra i needed that!
in a worst case scenario the stock price would be 0...haha....but we cant be investors living on that philosophy now can we theres a word for that t bills....but yes a major market meltdown could easily take fushi down to under 5 just as it did before....but odds seem very very unlikely at this point and in fact of all the stocks i deal with which is a very high amount I put fushi in my top 5 holdings certainly-it has all the goods: the earnings power, the valuation, the geographically diversified market, the balance sheet, the technical stock pattern, and most importantly a brighter outlook going forward it seems....this company is a winner and this stock is a winner-you can trade it or just hold it but it IS going up from these levels....my style is to hold around half of my position and trade about half of my position based on my technical knowledge....and when i make money from the trading side i gamble on the riskier ones like this week it will be cagc and seed or other general trading stocks from time to time....that keeps me from getting bored watching the paint dry with the fushis of the world and more importantly keeps me from getting the itch to sell when the others are moving w the market while my fushi builds the base....in the end-fushi is a keeper at this point as well as HOGS and CFSG and FLR but cfsg i think its a bit late to get in now....good luck ur in a winner here w the fush I know my stocks....
east coast fushier says don't worry
Abra... In a worst case scenario is the 5 level the next step down? Or is there something in between? Not saying it is even a possibility but say the market got really upset?
yea i gotcha it is hard for many people to avg up as they say but thats usually a good problem to have!!!
east coast fushier, scott
Cool. I tend to bre tired and grumpy early in the morning. West Coast. So Up at 5 am. Let er rip I say....But i do bot think i will buy ny more cause i am new to this one. If it falls a buck from my buy i may have to rethink that tho...
I don't know what's going on either, but I think there must be news that's not public yet. I don't think any stock is going to go up 30% on 10x normal volume without a reason specific to that stock. Looking at today's top gainers for the day, I don't see a consistent theme:
hahaha....by the way this is scott landry I changed my alias recently so yes I have also been invested here in fushi for a while....but back to the reasons it spiked-the real reason:
first and foremost without a doubt 100% it was a purely technical move in nature.....the 50 dma the 100 dma and the 150 dma all converged onnnnn(drum beat) you guessed it... Friday!!! so im sorry it wasnt the optionhawk im sorry it wasnt any special news im sorry it wasnt my paint finaallly drying-it was just plain technical breakout on dma convergence after a long technical basing pattern....if ya dont believe me then just simply watch now as 6.70 will be the new support line.....so buy it around 6.70 and u make money now again safely or at least relatively safely....as that is the 200 day ma....or better known as our new support.....next resistance 10+ by the way....and yes the move was certainly magnified by the if it falls on ur foot theme and by the chinese small cap theme as well....next stock i am buying a little more risky for my taste but I am lightening up on my financial trading stocks and buying seed and maybe cdii somebody mentioned here and a very big gamble in cagc.ob I dont recommend bb stocks though unless u want stock that ur prepared to wipe ur ass with which many bb stocks are usually worth but i feel like gambling this month....good luck guys....
I have owned the stock for over a year, and I added to my position just two days ago. Why now? I also own GSI, a Chinese steel co, which has soared in recent days. Like GSI, FSIN is Chinese and profits from high metal prices. So, I added. Not a scientific principle, but that was MY thinking. Could be luck, too!
Easy answer.
The hard answer is to the question of why it took so long to move. I've held for a while, knowing it was just a matter of time. Today is the start.
The easy answer is that today all the commodity stocks are zooming, FCX, CLF, all the coals, and all the ferts, as the guy on CNBC says, anything that hurts when it falls on your foot. I'm overweighted on foot-unfriendly stocks.
The reason, amongst many, is the specter of inflation raising commodity prices. Even NG is up today.
A rising tide...
I think it was the earnings from BGC. General Cable is in the same business and the beat first quarter earning in a big way!
I mentioned it on my Options Hawk Options Radar page yesterday...and I have developed a solid following from institutional investors. I also bought a bunch of shares. The 3,000 contract options trade yesterday is representative of a 300,000 share position, almost 3X the average trading volume!
I just toured your website, which is very informative! I believe you moved the FSIN market with your mention, since I can't find another bit of new news. Now we'll see if the acton continues.
I dunno - I bought-in yesterday. Maybe it was me? :-)

Bryce Alderson has never enjoyed the heat.
WHO: Los Angeles Blues vs. Charleston Battery
WHEN: 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Blackbaud Stadium
OK, truth be told, the Charleston Battery midfielder hates hot weather. Growing up in Kitchener, Ontario, about 65 miles west of Toronto in the Saint Lawrence Lowlands, there were only a handful of days each summer when the temperature would break the 80-degree mark.
Playing the last two seasons in Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps organization hasn't helped Alderson in his acclimation to what he has experienced this summer in Charleston. Since late May, the Battery has either practiced or played in conditions that would be considered a heat wave in his hometown.
"I struggle in the heat, I've never enjoyed playing when it's hot," Alderson said. "It's something that I've had to kind of deal with my whole life. To come down to South Carolina in my first real professional season where it's really hot all the time has been a challenge for me. I love the city, Charleston is so beautiful, but I just wish it wasn't so hot all the time."
When Battery teammates remind Alderson that this summer has been especially mild by Lowcountry standards, he can only roll his eyes.
"In Ontario, we'll get a few days when it'll get up to 85, but we never get anything like this and the humidity is unbelievable," Alderson said. "I think the humidity is the toughest part for me personally."
Alderson, 19, is on a year-long loan from the Whitecaps. He came to Charleston with an impressive resume, having been named the Canadian U-17 player of the Year in 2010 and 2011. Alderson also captained the Canadian U-17 team at the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 championships and the 2011 FIFIA U-17 World Cup.
"Bryce has played at a very high level during his amateur career," said Charleston coach Mike Anhaeuser. "His resume speaks for itself. I know the Whitecaps are very high on Bryce and want to get him as much game experience as he can with us."
Besides the weather, the hard-working midfielder also arrived on Daniel Island in late April with some lingering tendinitis in his knee, which slowed his progress at the beginning of the season.
"When I left Vancouver I was finally healthy, but I wasn't match fit, not even close to where I needed to be, and it took me a couple of weeks to get back my fitness level," Alderson said. "It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've finally felt fit and match sharp."
Alderson has played in 11 games, spending most of his time in the center midfield. The last two games, Alderson has been moved out on the wing and has responded with two solid performances.
"We're still trying to figure out what Bryce's best position is," Anhaeuser said. "He's been a center midfielder for most of his life. He's been the guy on his team, but we've got a lot of talented players in that position. We moved him outside and he's done very well."
Alderson's strength is on the ball, dribbling and creating scoring chances not only for himself but for his teammates.
"He has that little bit of quality when he's got the ball on his feet," Anhaeuser said. "He has a great left foot, and the last two games he has made some quality crosses into the box from the wing. He's just been a bit unlucky in that he hasn't scored yet this season. He's come so close, I know it's only a matter of time."
Alderson believes that playing with the Battery instead of the Whitecaps reserve team will help his development in the long run.
"When you're playing reserve games, you're really only out there for yourself," Alderson said. "Winning and losing isn't that important. But playing with the Battery, I'm part of a team and our goal is to win. I'm playing in meaningful games, and that's only going to help me as my career moves forward."

George Clooney And Carl Reiner Reminisce
Last night the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored Carl Reiner. Deadline's own Pete Hammond (Pete describes the evening here) moderated panels which included Dick Van Dyke, Bill Persky, Bonnie Hunt, Eva Marie Saint, Gary Shandling, Larry Matthews, Lily Tomlin, and Paul Reiser. Pete then intro'ed a surprise guest, George Clooney who concluded the evening with an award presentation. Here's the footage:
Everyone took out their cell phones when Clooney came out! It was funny. Great night!!
OMG were you there?
I just wanted to say that this clip brought a tear to my eye. In a time of great cynicism the absolute heart and decency that was on display here made me proud to be a scribbler and part of this biz. Bravo to Clooney and Reiner – jfk
If only the video presentations themselves had been as clear as this one. How can the TV academy hold its head up afterhaving clips that jumped vertically, were blurry and had sound drop outs? Would the Oscars allow such a thing to happen?

Regents awards recognize contributions to public higher education Given by the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, the award honors faculty members for work representing a significant contribution to excellence in public education. Dr. Sigmund is one of six awardees. Each honoree will receive $1,000. Curt Sigmund, Department of Pharmacology Sigmund came to the UI in 1991 as founding director of the UI Transgenic and Gene Targeting Facility, a high technology core service facility for biomedical researchers that has brought an estimated $10 million in grant funding to the College of Medicine annually. While directing the facility for 21 years, he also established and sustained a vigorous research program on the molecular basis of hypertension. Through innovations including the use of genetically manipulated mice as a platform for studying the physiological genomics of hypertension, he has transformed investigation in the angiotensin and hypertension fields. Many of the dozens of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists, and young faculty he has mentored have emerged as academic and scientific leaders. In 2008 Sigmund was named to the Roy J. Carver Chair in Hypertension Research, and in 2010 he was appointed head of the Department of Pharmacology. In 2009 he received the American Heart Association's Novartis Award in Hypertension Research, the pre-eminent award given in the field.

I love researching cemeteries and strive for accuracy. If you see an error or have additional info you want added, do not hesitate to contact me through
Suggest A Correction
(not through Messages or E-mail) and I'll be more than happy to make the changes. (Note: Suggest A Correction is accessible through the Edit tab.)
Note that Find A Grave, though a valuable resource for genealogists, is not primarily a genealogical website. Certain highly detailed genealogical data (e.g. census transcriptions) is more suited for sites like Rootsweb.
Some people I have entered are my relatives; most are not. In documenting graves, I contribute to this site's growth and completeness. My goal is often to photograph an entire cemetery, but in large cemeteries this can be a daunting task; in such cases I just randomly photograph markers that catch my eye.
Some have asked why I am doing this. I'm doing this to honor the memories of the dearly departed, to give relatives who live far away the chance to visit the graves of their loved ones online when they can't do so in person, and to assist genealogists by providing information unavailable elsewhere. No disrespect is intended; indeed, I enter the data and post the photos with only the most respectful and honorable of motives.
I live in Taiwan and often travel to places like Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia to photograph cemeteries.
To protect the privacy of the living, I do not input pre-need graves, and I remove the names of the living from obituary information I post.
In general, if the stone does not show a birthdate, but instead an age,
I do not calculate the birthdate from the age
due to varying methods of calculations used, instead leaving the birthdate field blank. I make exceptions for my own direct ancestors and those for whom I can find reliable documentation. I can't stress this enough:
If you wish me to add a birthdate to a headstone with only a death date and an age, please tell me HOW YOU KNOW the person's birthdate. Otherwise I will SUMMARILY IGNORE that request!
Plus, I
can't make links to children or siblings
; only to spouses and parents. Such requests WILL BE IGNORED.
And when providing me with cities or towns of birth and/or death in the US,
please tell me the county
. Thank you!
As for transferring "ownership" of memorials, I am more than happy to do so if you are a relative. But please make the requests reasonable, rather than saying something like "Give me all your Smiths." This is Find A Grave, not Go Fish! :)
Enjoy your graving!

Carl Smith cards say she might be in this cemetery. Could also be listed as Anna Hunter, alias Goot Choy, Kot Choy ( see Gwulo.com )
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

I was so surprised when I found photos of my Dads gravestone on your site. My Dad passed very suddenly in HK at the age of 49 whilst with the Air Ministry out there, and we had to return to the UK within about a month. It was a horrible time, but now being able to actually 'add flowers' (which I have never been able to do properly)means such a lot.Thank you so much.

Dear Chris:
Thank you for adding the family information I sent. It was only due to your efforts that I found where my Great Granduncle is laid to rest. He and my Grandfather,Alexander, were importers of Asian items brought to Toronto,Canada where their parents had an Import store on Yonge St. My Mother told me stories of sitting on the laps of Mandarin men in traditional clothing eating lichi. I was most surprised to find him in Bangkok as his Canadian WW1 records indicated he died in 1929. I found the military had made an error and placed the death note in the wrong Great Granduncle's file.
I would greatly appreciate if his memorial could be transferred to my care as I have the vast majority of the family history and am trying to link them together.
Thank you for all that you do. Without it I would never have found him. Sincerely,

St. Michael's Cemetery, Hong Kong
I am doing some research work regarding a step-uncle who served in U.S. Navy in China during the period (about) 1925-1942 (he left with the Mindanau and was ultimately taken prisoner at the fall of Corregidor.) His three children were born in Hong Kong and the middle child died there of tuberculosis at at Wajima Hospital, Wanchai, Hong Kong (when he was eight years old). The records I have seen indicate that he was interred in �Roman Catholic Cemetery, Hong Kong, Grave Number 6986�.
It would appear that this hospital was on the site of the present Ruttonjee Hospital and of the two Catholic cemeteries I have found (St. Michael�s and Holy Cross) this seems the closest and most likely. Since you have been there before, I thought you might be able to provide an opinion. The child is not shown on the present find-a-grave list, but that list presently shows only 83.

These eagle divers friendship bracelets are made with love for your closest friends. Learn how to make friendship bracelets for kids or adults using friendly plastic in whatever colors you want!
- Red Friendly Plastic
- White Friendly Plastic
- Tandy Leather Factory Soft Leather Trim Black
- Tandy Leather Factory Suede Lace Black
- Aleene's Jewelry Glue
- Ranger Glossy Accents*
- Large hole metal beads
- Small hole punch or awl
- Scissors
- Toaster Oven with pan
- Aluminum foil
This design used the oven method for using the Friendly Plastic. You can discover other techniques at www.Amaco.com. Avoid leaving Friendly Plastic or completed friendship bracelet around excessive heat, as it will melt.
- Preheat toaster oven to 250 degrees and cover pan with aluminum foil.
- Cut Red Friendly Plastic into 1" x 1/2" rectangles. Cut thin strips of white Friendly Plastic cutting across the smallest width.
- Place red rectangles onto aluminum covered pan. Place white strips diagonal onto the red rectangles. There will be some overlap at each corner. You want at least a 1/16th overlap of the white strip. This will be trimmed later.
- Place pan into pre-heated toaster oven. Watch until the white melts into the red plastic. There is a definite sheen to the pieces. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Never leave oven unattended.
- Once cool, trim the excess white from corners. Place flags on a covered work surface.
- Optional: Add Glossy Accents to the top of the flags. Start at the outside and work in. Go slowly so liquid doesn't "over-flow" the sides. If you get some over-flow use a small brush to remove the excess. Allow drying 24 hours. Flags look great with or without the Glossy Accents. The Glossy Accents just adds more depth and dimension.
- Cut leather trim into 1 1/2" x 1". Punch a small hole at each side for lacing.
- Glue flag to leather trim piece. Allow to dry completely
- Thread lacing through the holes of the leather trim. Add a bead to each side, then knot lacing beside each bead. Your friendship bead is complete!
*Note: My creative friend Jana Ewy gave me a great tip: You can also use EnvirTex as the sealer for your flags. Glossy Accents and EnvirTex help project the Friendly Plastic and give a high gloss to the project. Just follow the instructions for EnvirTex and apply with a fine tipped bottle*

I use unsweetened almond milk
I use unsweetened almond milk
There's a whole range of opinions on this, and no easy answer. If dairy does not upset your digestion, then I'm inclined to say it's no big deal. Mark put out a post a few weeks ago about the spectrum of choices with meat, fish, veggies, etc., and IMO the best to worst would go: local, pastured, raw > local, pastured, pasteurized, un-homogenized > local, pastured, pasteurized, homogenized >> store-bought, organic >> store-bought, regular; and of course, whole > skim > NF.
Check out Dr. Cate Shanahan's discussion of milk in Deep Nutrition.
I tend not to use a lot of milk per se, but heavy cream, sour cream, yogurt, and cheese - yep. Fortunate to live in a state that allows (begrudgingly) raw milk sales and has several venues closeby where I can get some.
Maybe someone else can offer an organic rec; I know there are some issues with Stonyfield, but that's what we usually get when buying store-organic.
For local sources (some, not all, raw), check eatwild.com or localharvest.org.
Like Finnegans Wake, I recommend trying to find local, grassfed, raw dairy.
But if your only option is the grocery store, here is another resource: The Cornucopia Institute

Checkered history or no, Rick Green's running for Texas Supremes — 'it's time,' you know
Former state Rep. Rick Green, a staunch social conservative and Republican who drew criticism for ethical lapses while in the Legislature, is announcing this evening for Texas Supreme Court. According to his Web site, Green is unveiling his candidacy at a 6:30 p.m. rally in Kyle, near San Marcos.
While in the House from 1998 to 2002, Green drew fire for using his Capitol office as the backdrop for a health supplement infomercial. He also came under scrutiny for successfully arguing before the parole board for early release of a man convicted of defrauding investors (who just happened to have loaned $400,000 to Green's father's company); allegedly pressuring the state health department on behalf of ephedrine maker Metabolife International, one of his law firm's clients; and squeezing lobbyists to pony up at a fundraiser for a private foundation he started. He made Texas Monthly's list of the 10 worst legislators.
Green, who always denied any wrongdoing, cast himself as a fighter for traditional values. He still does, calling himself "a true Reagan conservative and strict constructionist."
"Over the last decade, courts have increasingly become the front lines of the struggle in our culture over our basic freedoms and what it means to be an American," he says on his site. "Too many justices choose to legislate from the bench rather than uphold the rule of law. For these reasons, I am running for the Texas Supreme Court, Place 3″ (the seat now held by outgoing Justice Harriet O'Neill, a Republican).
Green, R-Dripping Springs, was defeated in 2002 by Democrat Patrick Rose.
Their spirited and at times almost physical battle for the swing district seat in the Texas Hill Country was chronicled in "Last Man Standing: Politics, Texas Style," a documentary by filmmaker Paul Stekler. And the hard feelings didn't end there: In November 2006, Green was accused of assaulting Rose on election day at a polling place.
Green, a lawyer, has worked with the Aledo-based group WallBuilders, whose founder David Barton says the Founding Fathers did not intend for there to be a formal separation of church and state.

INDIANAPOLIS — Believe it or not, there was a lot to take from the Colts' mini-camp practice at Lucas Oil Stadium on Wednesday. With the sun shining bright and retractable roof wide open, the setting couldn't have been any more perfect for fans to get their first taste of this new era of Colts football.
I for one came away feeling a lot better about our beloved Colts.
Without any heavy contact permitted during these mini-camps, it's hard to really analyze a lot of what is going on in the trenches. Whether or not the Colts are getting solid pressure defensively or successfully protecting from pressure on offense is something we'll have to wait to see. The same applies for the run offense and defense.
However, there are some signs of good things to come in other key areas.
For starters, of course, Andrew Luck looks every bit the part of a franchise QB, and he's barely gotten his feet wet. Even though he missed a lot of receivers by a foot or two most of the day, he throws a very catchable ball. I'm sure by the end of training camp he won't be missing any of those open targets, either. It's hard to assess much else due to no pressure defensively, but if you were there you got the sense he's already ahead of the curve. Repetition with his receivers will go a long, long way in turning those missed throws into big gains.
During the play-action and rush offense drill portion of the practice, Luck was showing good run fakes and really moved well laterally to make throws downfield. Most of the formations during these drills had both rookie tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen on the field together. Nate wrote a little here about what he saw from the two-tight end sets. You could see right away how the pre-snap options at Luck's disposal in these formations could create major headaches for opposing defenses.
Another solid portion of the practice was during the 2-minute drill. With the first team offense on the field, Luck directed a scoring drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Austin Collie on a nice fade route in the right corner of the endzone. Now, it's important to remember there's very little defense going on at this point, but the importance came in the execution of the no-huddle and play-calling during the 2-minute drill. It was hard to tell a difference between the past and present, and I truly expect the no-huddle or 2-minute offense to remain strengths for the organization as if the coaching staff and QB never changed.
Judging anything from the offensive line was tough, especially with key guys like Anthony Castonzo still missing. This will be an area of focus once training camp is under way.
Now, defensively, it was very hard to sort through the action and find positives without real contact allowed. So, with that in mind, I spent all my time keeping an eye on how the team lined up on defense and whether or not guys were in good position in coverage on any given play. This is actually where things got a bit more interesting for an outsider.
The term "hybrid" has been tossed around early and often as the Colts are making the change
from a 4-3 base to a 3-4 base defense schematically. Certainly we will see many hybrid looks, but we may also see truer 3-4 action than most are anticipating. For instance, defensive end Dwight Freeney was practically playing the role of a 3-4 outside linebacker throughout all the drills in Wednesday's practice. Rarely did the All-Pro defensive end have his hands on the ground before the ball was snapped, even switching sides with his tag team pal Robert Mathis on multiple occasions.
While both players have tormented opposing quarterbacks for years as the league's top edge rushing duo as 4-3 defensive ends, they're already showing some glimpses of being versatile enough to play that 3-4 outside linebacker position.
For example, as outside linebackers in the 3-4, Freeney and Mathis will be dropping into coverage occasionally instead of the usual 'rush the quarterback 99 percent of the time' business they've been up to all these years. Mathis displayed good instincts on most of his drops in coverage, almost intercepting an Andrew Luck pass at one point. He looked comfortable in space to say the least. I was more worried about Freeney being able drop into coverage effectively, but he pleasantly surprised me several times by getting in good enough position to either break up a pass or make a tackle if contact were allowed at the time.
Very encouraging stuff, fans.
During another drill, defense was practicing blitz packages against the offense. It would be silly to analyze a lot of that action but I would like a note a few observations.
Jerry Hughes still looks pretty bad. Players weren't going full throttle by any means, but I caught Hughes going all out trying to beat his man on an edge rush during one play. He is fighting to keep his roster spot when it comes down to it, so I wasn't shocked to see the extra effort. Unfortunately, Hughes got manhandled by tight end Kyle Miller on the attempt. I hope I'm just wrong about what I saw. It will be a great disappointment if the scheme change doesn't help Hughes finally make an impact for the Colts.
Also during the drill, safeties Antoine Bethea and Tom Zbikowski were sent on a couple of blitzes (mostly Bethea). Before the snap it was hard to tell who was going to blitz by how they lined up. As the ball was being snapped, one would drop into deep middle coverage and the other would crash to the offensive line. Some of the blitzes were very aggressive and had nobody deep, with both safeties covering receivers man-to-man. The aggression of this defense is easily going to be the biggest change for Colts fans after years of the play-it-safe Cover-2 scheme.
Schemes aren't the only things changing in Indy.
ESPN blogger Paul Kuharsky spoke about a noticeable change in the behavior of the players during the three day minicamp, calling it "less serious" than in past years. I'd have to agree with Kuharsky, as players were taking part in some horseplay (Colts, horseplay, get it?) or some light-hearted joking around. To recall one of these moments, Mathis was jumping around and chanting Luck's name during the snap count, and would eventually get a round of laughter after the play resulted in an incomplete pass by the rookie quarterback.
Don't get it twisted, though. A serious tone remained throughout the practice. It's just a different type of serious than the likes of what we're used to from the Manning era. Just goes to show it's possible to be serious and have fun at the same time. The frenetic pace of the Wednesday practice was impressive, and the command the coaches have on quickly installing the new systems both offensively and defensively is very apparent.
All in all, the free preview brought more optimism about the direction in which this team is heading.
Training camp can't start soon enough.
