THERE WAS A LONG pause on the other end of the phone.
"The year from hell is over," Chris Pronger said.
That's how Pronger described his injury-riddled season, which officially came to a close on Friday night in Boston - ending the season the same exact way it started in October, with Pronger watching from afar because of injury.
After slogging through exactly 118 games last season - including all 82 games with the Flyers, six with the gold medal-winning Canadian Olympic team in Vancouver, seven preseason games and 23 Stanley Cup playoff games - Pronger skated in just 50 games in the regular season this year, his lowest total since 2002-03.

The Morning Leverage: Joining In On The Online Coupon Craze
Top stories in today's LBO Wire:
Why let Groupon and LivingSocial have all the fun? Private equity is delving into the online coupon action, too. JMI Equity is leading a $54 million investment round for CouponCabin LLC, giving the firm a minority stake in the company.
The company operates CouponCabin.com, which offers deals from the likes of Dell, RadioShack, Target and Best Buy as well as exclusive discounts from lesser-known retailers such as AutoAnything, Just My Size, BuyCostumes and Think Geek.
Implus Footcare LLC, a footwear accessories and exercise equipment maker and retailer, proved a comfortable fit for private equity investors in the past—with Trilantic Capital being the latest firm to try it on, reports LBO Wire's Jonathan Shieber.
The firm's acquisition of Implus is expected to close at the end of October. Implus was first backed by a private equity firm in 2001, when FdG Associates acquired the company in a recapitalization that bought out the family owners. The company, which was advised by consumer-focused boutique bank Sawaya Segalas, was sold to AEA Investors in 2008. FdG co-invested in the 2008 deal.
Also, NewSpring Capital's mezzanine lending arm invested $8 million of debt financing in Cellucap Manufacturing Co., a maker of protective clothing to the food services, health-care and safety sectors. . . And RFE Investment Partners, along with equity partners Caymus Equity Partners and Starboard Capital Partners, acquired GA|PRC Group, a retail marketing agency with 10 offices in the U.S.

Banco Santander SA struck a deal to sell 35% of its U.S. consumer-finance unit for $1.15 billion, according to Dow Jones Newswires. An investment vehicle controlled by Warburg Pincus, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Centerbridge Partners will take of 25% of Santander Consumer USA. Dundon DFS will acquire a 10% stake
Speaking of KKR, the Financial Times reports the New York firm aims expand into Hong Kong with its special situations unit. The plan? Profit from investments into "faltering and over-indebted companies."

Authorities found a well-stocked arsenal at a prison in the central state of Falcon that was evacuated last week for renovations, the minister responsible for Venezuela's penitentiary system said Monday.
Hidden inside a tunnel dug by inmates, the arms cache included machine guns, grenades, C4 plastic explosives and more than 11,000 rounds of ammunition, Iris Varela told a televised press conference.
The weapons and ordnance, some of it military issue, were carefully packed to prevent damage from the high humidity underground, she said.
The arsenal was discovered after the roughly 1,000 inmates at the prison in Coro, the state capital, were removed last Friday as part of an initiative to renovate Venezuela's vastly overcrowded penitentiaries.
Two inmates died and 13 were injured when some elements in the prison population resisted the removal.
Varela blamed the violence on a "minority of negative leaders" who control trafficking in arms, drugs and other contraband inside the prison and were unwilling "to lose the business they have there."
Found along with the arms cache were receipts for bank deposits and both the account-holders and the depositors are being investigated, the minister said.
She acknowledged the involvement of some "civilian and military" officials in supplying guns and drugs to inmates.
The government embarked last week on an emergency program to renovate Venezuela's 30-odd existing prisons and to build 20 more.
Violence in Venezuelan penitentiaries claimed 304 lives in the first half of the year, an increase of 15 percent over the same period in 2011.
The system is also holding more than 45,000 people, three times its official capacity. EFE

We're launching a new way for the wide community around Internationalist Books and Community Center to support our work and mission, with the Internationalist Sustainer program.
Internationalist Sustainers register to contribute a fixed monthly donation, rather than volunteering their time or making large one time gifts.
The benefits for the store are great. Sustainers take the uncertainty out of fundraising, providing a reliable source of income that helps us more accurately budget our resources. Over time, a reduced reliance on sporadic donations will improve the consistency of inventory and customer service, which in turn will increase our sales volume and self-sufficiency. Ultimately the combination of consistent community support and business growth will allow us to reinvest and improve in ways that can support our primary mission as a hub of ideas and activism in North Carolina.
For you, the benefits are also great. If you've always wanted to give the store but never had the resources to make a large donation, becoming a Sustainer is a fantastic way to keep your contribution manageable and still make a difference. Sustainers receive all the perks of traditional membership, including discounts, newsletters, free gifts, access to our event space, and a voice in the direction of the store. Unlike traditional membership, though, you never have to wonder if your dues are up to date or worry about annual renewals. You can change or cancel your monthly pledge at any time.
Most importantly, you'll know that your support is a vital part of sustaining one of the oldest radical bookstores in the country.

We've learned about the life cycles of common tropical fish parasites. Before we discuss treatments, let's do a brief review of a few key ideas that help us understand what exactly we are dealing with when it comes to parasites.
We've already taken a close look at ich, the white spot disease caused by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. As noted, ich has both free-living and parasitic stages, and even though there are many different treatments available, the specific treatment must be chosen on the basis of the type of tropical fish infected and the environment in which they are maintained. When it comes to treating fish parasites, there are some medications commercially available that work well, but others can only be prescribed by a veterinarian.
Drugs or chemicals placed in the water are commonly referred to as "bath" treatments. Drugs delivered orally are generally mixed in the food and are meant to deliver systemic effects. Bath treatments are the most variable, in that a specific concentration of a chemical is placed in the water for a specific length of time. As a rule, lower concentrations are used for longer periods of time or vice versa.
ICH TREATMENTSI've described the parasite that causes ich. Now let's examine in more detail how to get rid of it.
Salt (plain old sodium chloride), which is often overlooked in favor of other drugs and chemicals often thought to be better and more powerful, is one safe and very effective method of treating ich, as well as many other external parasites. For most purposes, uniodized table salt is adequate, though there is nothing wrong with using aquarium salt specifically sold for that purpose, such as sea salt, or solar salt, salt sold for consumption by livestock and kosher salt.
As an aid to osmoregulation, salt may be added at a concentration of 2 to 3 parts per thousand (1 ppt = 1 tsp/gallon, 3 ppt = 1 tbsp/gallon; for ponds, use 1 pound per 100 gallons). This concentration is safe for most tropical fish, and protozoa cannot live in this level of salinity. As a treatment for ich and some other protozoa, infested fish should be dipped in saltwater at 30 ppt (which is the salinity of seawater) for 30 seconds up to several minutes - or until the fish rolls on its side. The tropical fish should then be placed back in normal-salinity water.
To mix this solution, use aquarium water and dissolve 30 teaspoons of salt per gallon. Place the fish into this water, monitoring it the entire time. Repeat this process once daily for three days, with a 30- to 70-percent aquarium water change between treatments. This treatment is different from most others, in that it is used to treat organisms in the skin of the fish and not the free-living stages found in the aquarium.
Lower doses may be used as a continuous bath in the aquarium fish. At 5 to 10 ppt, tropical fish can survive for several hours to several days, and this will effectively kill the ich organisms. A bath of 4 to 5 ppt will break the ich life cycle and will kill anchorworms and lice, as well. Freshwater fish can live in this salinity for up to four weeks. A salinity of 5 ppt or greater will usually kill live plants.
Formaldehyde (formalin) at 37 percent may be used as a medicated bath as a treatment for ich and some other protozoa. Use a bath for 12 to 24 hours dosed at 1.0 milliliter (ml) per 10 gallons of water. This is repeated for three treatments, every three days. Partial water changes (30 to 70 percent) should be performed between treatments. Formalin may be added to the display aquarium, but because it is so toxic, it's preferable to restrict its use to a treatment aquarium. Formalin removes oxygen from water, so the treated water must be well aerated. It is a carcinogen (capable of causing cancer), too, so anyone using this chemical must be educated about safe handling. Formalin supplied for use by veterinary clinics to preserve tissues is too diluted and is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Formalin should only be used after consulting with a veterinarian about its use.
Malachite green is another treatment for ich. Dosed at 0.1 to 0.15 ppm, it may be used as a bath for 12 to 24 hours. This is usually repeated daily for three days, with a 30- to 70-percent water change between treatments.
Another ich treatment is Victoria green and acriflavin. These chemicals are available commercially as tablets that fizz as they dissolve. This formulation is also designed to prevent secondary bacterial infections. One dose may be all that is necessary. However, you should change 25 percent of the water every 24 hours if additional doses are needed. Remove activated carbon from the filter during treatment.
For some, copper is the treatment of choice for ich. The safe use of copper depends on the total alkalinity of the water. If total alkalinity is less than 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L), the use of copper sulfate is not recommended. Copper must be carefully dosed. It will also kill invertebrates and live plants.
Increase the fish aquarium temperature during any treatment. This is to speed up the life cycle of the organisms, because treatment is aimed at killing them in their free-living phase.
TRICHODINA AND RELATED PROTOZOAOther protozoal parasites found externally are Ichthyobodo/Costia, Trichodina and Chilodonella, along with monogenetic flukes (such as Gyrodactylus). The most obvious symptom of this is a gray-white film of excess mucus that develops over the body, and is especially noticeable over the eyes or areas containing dark pigment on the skin. Along the flanks, reddened areas may occur, and sometimes the gills swell up. Tropical fish may move rapidly and flash (swim erratically), and they may have respiratory problems. However, as the infestation progresses, the fish become listless and lie on the bottom of the fish aquarium, occasionally scratching against rocks or aquarium ornaments. Usually, excessive mucus is caused by more than one organism.
Trichodina and the related protozoa usually cause problems in tropical fish that are overcrowded, stressed or suffering from poor husbandry. Trichodina attaches temporarily by an adhesive disc to the skin. In large numbers, they damage the skin, becoming parasitic and feeding on it. Ichthyobodo attaches to the gills or fins, and feeds on cytoplasm, causing hyperplasia (an abnormal increase in volume of a tissue or organ caused by the formation and growth of new normal cells) of the epidermis and destruction of goblet cells (solitary, mucus-secreting cells).
Initially, these should be treated with the same therapy as for ich - these are protozoal parasites (except for the flukes). If the fish have not improved within five to seven days, do a 50-percent water change, and treat with formalin or an organophosphate insecticide used for removing monogenetic flukes (more on these later).
HEXAMITA AND SPIRONUCLEUSHexamita and Spironucleus are two other protozoal parasites commonly found in the intestinal tract of some freshwater fish, although systemic infections can occur. Hexamita is also known as "hole in the head disease." Small holes appear in the body, especially the head region, and often strings of mucus trail from the lesions. Lesions may also develop at the base of the fins and near the lateral line. They have a direct life cycle, and are principally acquired by oral ingestion of trophozoites (the active, motile feeding stage of a sporozoan parasite) or cyst stages.
In addition to skin lesions, fish often go off their food and develop a hollow-bellied appearance. They also typically have stringy, off-color feces. Hexamita often exist at low levels in the intestines of tropical fish, especially cichlid fish (including discus, angelfish and oscars) and gouramis. If conditions in the fish aquarium include stress, overcrowding, low oxygen levels, improper water parameters, changes in temperature or poor diet, the parasites can multiply, and the fish may then develop signs of systemic disease.
The best way to treat Hexamita infections is with medicated food - if the fish are still eating. For both Hexamita and Spironucleus, metronidazole can be used and is available commercially in fish food flakes. However, because infected fish often do not feed, they usually won't ingest an effective dose. In such cases, a bath of metronidazole can be used instead, immersing the fish for six to 12 hours, with 250 mg of metronidazole per 10 gallons of water. Metronidazole tablets, capsules or liquid can be used to prepare the bath.
Several courses of treatment may be necessary to successfully control these parasites. Of course, as with all infectious organisms, it is always best to prevent introduction to the fish aquarium in the first place by quarantining and prophylactically treating all new stock, as well as maintaining your fish in the most healthful manner possible.
VELVET DISEASEA parasitic single-celled organism known as a dinoflagellate (Piscinoodinium, commonly called Oodinium) is responsible for velvet disease. This parasite has a direct life cycle, and has free-living and parasitic stages. The obvious symptoms are a yellow-gray coating to the scales, skin and fins. Fish may flash and show increased gill movements. In advanced cases, the fish will become anorexic and float motionless in the water, and the skin may peel away in strips.
A novice may confuse this disease with ich, but fish with velvet appear as if they are sprinkled with gold dust, hence the common name of "gold dust disease." This parasite moves from fish to fish with a flagellated spore, and can live off the fish for at least 24 hours, and probably longer (up to several days).
Velvet is usually introduced with new fish and may develop into a serious problem. Heavy infestation on the gills may kill fish without causing other obvious signs of the disease. It is most often found among some anabantids, killifish and goldfish. The parasite may establish itself in the intestinal tract of fish, making treatment more difficult, and long-term control of the parasite can be quite frustrating.
Treatment with ich or velvet remedies may be used. If the fish are salt tolerant, a prolonged (see the "Ich Treatment" section for suggested durations) salt treatment using 1 teaspoon of salt per 5 gallons of water can be used to eradicate the parasite. Interestingly, because the parasites use photosynthesis, keeping the aquarium relatively dark can help during a serious outbreak.
NEON TETRA DISEASEAnother protozoal parasite, Pleistophora, is responsible for neon tetra disease. A range of fish species are susceptible, but this parasite seems to affect many tetras in particular. Zebra danios and some barbs are also commonly affected by a similar disease.
Heavily infected tropicalfish will exhibit a loss of coloration (especially the red stripe on neons), unusual swimming behavior, spinal curvature, emaciation and frayed fins. Treatment has been attempted with a number of drugs, but none have been completely effective. Some medications, such as combination products on the market that contain an antiprotozoal and antibiotic, will help control secondary bacterial infections.
MONOGENETIC FLUKES Monogenetic flukes are flatworms that are usually found as ectoparasites of fish. They often have a hooked attachment organ and a simple life cycle, and are just barely visible to the naked eye. They often feed on skin and gill tissue, but usually only cause problems if found in large numbers. Clinical signs are flashing and skin problems.
Treatment with formalin, praziquantel, Trichlorofon (dimethyl phosphate) or salt baths are effective. Formaldehyde can be used as a bath for 12 to 24 hours at 20 to 25 ppm (mg/L), repeated every three days for three treatments, with 30- to 70-percent water changes between treatments (same regimen as for ich).
Praziquantel is dosed as a bath for three to six hours at 5 to 10 mg/L repeated three times. In between each dosage, change 30 to 70 percent of the water. Praziquantel is now available in several commercially prepared tablets.
Trichlorofon is used as a bath for one hour at 0.25 to 1.0 ppm repeated daily for three days, with 30- to 70-percent water changes between treatments. A salt bath can be a four to five-minute dip, dosed at 30 to 35 grams/L repeated daily for three treatments, with 30- to 70-percent water changes between treatments.
DIGENEANS Digeneans are endoparasitic flukes that have two suckers, one at each end. They have an indirect life cycle, with tropical fish acting as both intermediate hosts (carrying metacercaria larvae) and final hosts. Adult digeneans are usually found in the gastrointestinal tract, while the larvae (which may be encysted) can be found throughout the body and cause problems if they invade such organs as the eyes or heart in high numbers. The larval stages of digenetic fluke parasites cause black spots in aquarium fish.
Praziquantel is the treatment of choice as a bath for three to six hours, dosed at 5 to 10 mg/L, repeated for three doses, with 30- to 70-percent water changes between dosing. This drug may also be dosed in fish food at 5 mg/kilogram of fish.
TAPEWORMS AND ROUNDWORMSTapeworms are endoparasites, with adult tapeworms living in the digestive tract. Tapeworms are most common in newly imported or wild-caught fish. They have an indirect life cycle, with fish serving as both intermediate and final hosts. There is a public health concern because some tapeworms can infect humans. Signs of tapeworms may be a swollen abdomen and a fish that appears to be wasting away. Affected fish may have difficulty swimming, as well.
Praziquantel can be used to remove tapeworms from the intestinal tract (same treatment regimen as described in previous digeneans section) but will not eliminate those residing within the body cavity. Repeating treatment with praziquantel may be necessary to completely eradicate tapeworms.
Be aware that some live fish foods, such as cyclops and water fleas, can be the intermediate hosts of many of these parasites, unless you are certain the fish food items come from a fish-free water source.
Roundworms (also called nematodes) may also be found inside aquarium fish. They have complex indirect life cycles, and fish can serve as both intermediate and final hosts. Nematodes can cause problems to tropical fish (and also to humans who become infected by eating raw or poorly prepared fish). Roundworms are reddish-brown in color and vary in size. In severe infections, they may be seen protruding from the vent. Nematodes can be found in the digestive system, swim bladder and body cavity.
Treatment involves breaking the life cycle and using appropriate drugs such as fenbendazole, which is dosed in fish food for three days at 200 mg/100 grams of fish food. It may require several rounds of treatment, in addition to eliminating any intermediate hosts and improving general hygiene to remove infective stages. Piperazine can be used to treat livebearers with Camallanus nematodes. Mix 25 mg piperazine citrate with 10 grams of flake food, and feed to fish for five to 10 days. A repeat course of treatment is recommended 10 to 14 days later (dosed at 50 to 100 mg/kilograms of body weight).
FISH LICE, GILL MAGGOTS AND ANCHOR WORMSSome crustaceans are parasitic to fish, including the fish louse Argulus and the gill maggot Ergasilus. Both of these parasites are usually found on newly imported fish. Because they suck blood, they can transmit certain infections between fish.
The fish louse attaches itself to the skin and fins by means of twin suckers, and feeds on the blood of the host. The intense irritation may cause fish to flash, and heavily infested tropical fish may even jump out of the water. Red lesions occur where the lice have attached, and this opens the skin up to secondary bacterial and fungal infections.
Gill maggots are usually found attached to the gills, gill covers and inside the mouth. They are several millimeters long, and the common name refers to the adult females, with their prominent, whitish, "maggotlike" egg sacs. The male does not become a parasite. Heavy infestation can result in severe gill damage, emaciation, anemia and death.
Treatment requires an organophosphate insecticide such as dimethyl phosphate (also called phosphonate), Trichlorfon and Dimilin. The drug can be applied to a backyard pond or aquarium to eradicate both adult and juvenile crustacean parasites. Baths of Trichlorfon and Dimilin are both effective. Dimilin may be used as a bath for 48 hours, at 0.01 mg/L, repeated up to three times, and Trichlorfon can be used as a bath for one hour at 0.25 to 1.0 ppm, repeated up to three times.
Anchor worms are another crustacean parasite, elongated with two egg sacs at the rear end. They usually embed in the muscle of the body wall and often penetrate as far as the internal organs. A raised ulcer usually develops at the point of attachment, and secondary infections often occur at that site. Heavy infestations may cause weight loss and death.
Anchor worms don't typically occur in aquariums. They are most often a problem with newly imported tropical fish and in garden ponds during the summer. Male anchor worms have a short life span and die after mating; females are usually seen attached to the fish host. Eggs hatch to produce free-living juvenile parasites, which eventually molt to produce adult stages. The juvenile stages can live without a host for at least five days.
As with other crustacean parasites, organophosphate insecticides are used to eliminate the free-living juvenile stages. Remove adult worms with a forceps and treat the site with a suitable antiseptic. Remove parasites weekly until no more adult worms are found.
CONCLUSIONIt's impossible to discuss every type of parasite that can attack freshwater fish, but those discussed in these two articles are the most commonly encountered. Please remember that prevention is always better than trying to treat and cure problems, and quarantining is your best way to protect your established fish.

Tabbah Infinite Cascade necklace for Princess Charlene of Monaco
Yet another princess fairy tale became a reality over the long weekend as South African commoner Charlene Wittstock was bestowed an honorific upon marriage to His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.
It's already old news that Giorgio Armani dressed the royal bride (and the question begs to be asked, why didn't she wear a local designer? It could have been the perfect time to shine the light on an unknown but utterly amazing avant-garde fashion talent), but did anybody bother to say anything about that breathtaking piece of miniature architectural artwork Princess Charlene wore around her neck?
That sparkly amalgamation of 1,237 diamonds, six giant pearls and 18K rose gold, called the Infinite Cascade, is the work of Lebanese jewellery house Tabbah, who designed the bespoke piece exclusively for Princess Charlene. Yup, commoners can't buy it – but let's face it, a piece encrusted with over 56 carats of white diamonds is not something many of us can afford, now or in our lifetime.
Nagib Tabbah comments: "the design of the necklace is imbued with fluid structure: ripples that at once wrap, as if to protect, the neck, while simultaneously cascading over the collar bone where the large pearls drop, their individual settings ensuring delicate sparkle and warm glow as they catch the light."

Israeli couscous is a large-caliber relative of its Arab cousin, a relative newcomer to these shores.
Like regular couscous, it's actually a wheat pasta, but this one is the size of baby peas when cooked. Its shape has lent itself to another name -- it is called "pearl couscous" in some packaging.
It can be sauced like pasta, but is usually offered as a base for vegetarian or meat stews, or used as a building block in a pilaf dish. It also is employed in salads, adding slightly chewy body to crunchy foliage and crisp vegetables.
In Israel, the couscous, called ptitim, is often considered a children's dish, served plain or flavored with caramelized onion and tomato.
Feed the need: Israeli couscous was invented in Israel as a substitute for rice. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion asked Osem, a food manufacturer, to develop a replacement as food shortages left rice-favoring Israelis hungry. It's still known as "Ben-Gurion's rice" to some Israelis.
Here, Israeli couscous serves as the backbone of a salad, in a recipe shared by Nancy Parisi, The News' Cook of the Month in March 2011. The just-cooked couscous is heaped on vegetables diced small, gently steaming them before the whole dish is stirred and seasoned.
>Nancy Parisi's Couscous Vegetable Salad
For couscous:
1 1/2 cups uncooked Israeli or pearl couscous
1 7/8 cups water
1 pinch salt
For salad:
1 small red onion
1 small yellow squash
1 small zucchini
1 small red pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of one lemon or orange
3/4 pound feta cheese
Boil water in a 1 quart saucepan. Add uncooked couscous to boiling water. Reduce heat, give it a stir, and cover the pot. Let the couscous simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
While grain is cooking, dice vegetables into 1/4 -inch pieces.
Uncover the pot and examine the couscous. You should be able to fluff it with a fork and see no water in the pan when it's fully cooked.
Toss diced vegetables in bowl or serving platter. When couscous is fully cooked, scoop it over the top of the vegetables, and let sit for a few minutes, covered. Do not mix the couscous with the vegetables; they are steaming.
After 2 minutes, gently mix the vegetables and couscous. Drizzle olive oil and lemon or orange juice over the top and continue mixing. Then top salad with crumbled feta cheese.
Season with freshly ground pepper if desired, and salt, though the cheese should provide enough salty flavor.
Serve as a side dish, or a main dish with tossed green salad. Serves 4.

More apprentices on the chopping block
A fresh round of apprentices have been suspended without pay or put on notice because of the economic downturn in the construction industry.

The apprentices are hosted by Apprentices Group Australia, a training and employment organisation based in Gippsland.
28 apprentices have been suspended without pay, but will continue their training at AGA.
A further 47 unplaced apprentices could be suspended from their apprenticeships without pay if they do not find work within four weeks.
On July 1 AGA stopped financial supporting apprentices who were out of work for more than four weeks.
Phil Backman from AGA says the organisation can no longer afford to support the large number of apprentices losing their jobs because of the economic downturn in the construction industry.
Last year AGA spent $3 million on paying 100 unplaced apprentices last financial year.
Third year carpentry AGA apprentice Jayden Atkin will be suspended without pay by the end of August.
"I've got car loans and phone bills and that sort of stuff and then just one day out the blue they'll stop paying me."
Mark Knox, managing director of AGA, says the organisation has been forced to stall recruitment of new apprentices.
"Three years ago we had 47 placed with 28 companies, now there are only 6 or 7 businesses with local apprentices."

Last night showed that the Wings also were fortunate with a few calls as well. It might not happen much to us because we see ridiculous phantom interference calls or whatever, but we get a break every now and then as well (i.e. Bertuzzi's goal which should've been offside). And both those penalties on Detroit were legit in the 3rd period, as much as I didn't like the call on Abdlekader in the heat of the moment either.
And let's get one thing clear that I am one of the first people to blow gaskets at refs for phantom interference or intent to blow the whistle or whatever.
Please stop wasting useless energy and just accept that the officiating and rules for the most part just aren't that good and are inconsistent. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sen. Robert Menendez's decision to block the nomination of a New Jersey judge to a federal appeals court exploded in his face like a trick cigar, and so he changed his mind. Still, the flap inadvertently revealed another sticky issue that doesn't go away with the senator's "Never mind":
What happens when a federal judge and a federal prosecutor are, well, what the judge has called "significant others," and others might call live-in lovers?
The long-standing romantic relationship between Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz and James Nobile, the head of the U.S. Attorney's Special Prosecutions Division, was not cited as the reason Menendez initially blocked her promotion to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.
The senator said he believed Shwartz was "unqualified," a misimpression she apparently corrected quite easily.
Others say he was retaliating for Nobile's investigation of the senator — an investigation attended by, for him, a potentially politically disastrous revelation, days before the 2006 election, that he had received federal subpoenas. Menendez had to wait until just a few months ago before he was cleared of wrongdoing.
Neither the senator nor anyone in his office would comment on the relationship between a federal judge and a federal prosecutor. Shwartz and Nobile also would not comment.
But here's the question: How would a criminal defendant — or just an ordinary citizen — feel about knowing a judge and a prosecutor in the same jurisdiction share pillow talk?
"I understand why people might have some concerns," says Alan Zegas of Chatham, a criminal defense attorney who's had high-profile cases in federal court. "But I don't believe there would be a conflict."
He says he believes the court and the U.S. Attorney's Office would do whatever they need to do to avoid even an appearance of conflict — that's required by the federal Code of Conduct for U.S. judges.
The solution: Don't allow Shwartz to hear cases in which Nobile is a prosecutor. But Nobile rarely brings his own cases — he supervises other prosecutors. So the court and the U.S. Attorney's Office have to take the solution a step further: Don't allow her to hear cases he supervises, and Nobile supervises all public corruption cases.
An expert on judicial ethics says the day is past when a romantic relationship between a judge and a prosecutor would be considered, by itself, unethical.
"It's not unethical for judges and lawyers to socialize, fall in love or marry," says Charles Gardner Geyh, the John F. Kimberling professor at Indiana University's Maurer School of Law. He served as special counsel to the administrative office of U.S. Courts and to the House Judiciary Committee.
But the code and federal law require judges to disqualify, or recuse, themselves from cases in which their spouses appear as lawyers, says Geyh, director of the Judicial Disqualification Project of the American Bar Association. That includes a person "with whom a judge maintains both a household and an intimate relationship."
So, while Geyh doesn't see an ethical issue — as long as she stays away from Nobile's cases — he does see another possible problem for Shwartz.
"It could raise a legitimate question in a confirmation setting, if the frequency of disqualification could create administrative problems for the court," says Geyh.
Here in New Jersey, no one really knows how many times Shwartz disqualified herself because of her relationship with Nobile. Neither she nor the court clerk's office would say. In a questionnaire she filled out for the Senate Judiciary Committee, the judge refers to her relationship with an unnamed "significant other." She lists only one case in which she formally recused herself because a party was a relative of her "significant other."
The question is unanswerable because both Judge Jerome Simandle, the chief judge for the New Jersey district, and Rebekah Carmichael, the spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, say court and other federal officials know about the relationship and don't assign cases involving Nobile to Shwartz, obviating the need for her to disqualify herself.
"Such a case will not be assigned to Judge Shwartz," Simandle said in a statement. He added that "recusals have created no administrative burden for this Court, as any recusal case is assigned to another of the seven U.S. Magistrate Judges sitting in Newark."
Shwartz wrote in the Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire she does not "have a list of cases or matters that have triggered these automatic recusals."
In that questionnaire, she was asked to list any "potential conflicts of interest" and how she would deal with them. The reply: "My significant other supervises one division of the United States Attorney's Office and, if confirmed, I would continue to recuse myself from all matters he handles or supervises."
Now that Menendez will give her the chance to make it that far.

Tour teens' Reform voucher aid
Every teenager who has had a bar- or batmitzvah in a Reform synagogue is to be given a £100 voucher towards the cost of an Israel summer tour.
Recipients will be able to redeem their voucher if they opt to go on tour with RSY-Netzer. The new scheme has been sponsored in memory of Tilda Warshaw, a prominent Emunah member who died last year.
RSY worker Alma Smith said: "A bar or batmitzvah is an important step along a young person's Jewish journey and we are delighted that we can be a part of such a special occasion."
Everyone who has been bar or batmitzvahed in a Reform congregation from September this year will be eligible for a voucher. Around 120 teenagers went on Israel tours with RSY this summer. The movement hopes to increase the number of tours from three to four in 2011.

Delta Aquarids Meteor Shower Peaks Monday, But You Could Spot Meteors This Weekend (VIDEO)
Don't miss your chance to capture the Delta Aquarids meteor shower this weekend.
The sky show runs from mid-July to late-August, and peaks July 28-29. As earthsky.org reports, this weekend is particularly favorable because the new moon arrives on July 26, so moonlight won't interfere.
"It gets that name because the meteors seem to radiate from the constellation Aquarius," explains Kelly Beatty, a senior contributing editor for Sky & Telescope magazine.
Aquarius rises around midnight, so Beatty says you'll get the best view late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
"What you want to do is find yourself a really dark spot, free from any light that's shining in your eyes, and look up," Beatty says. You could see as many as 10 shooting stars an hour.
(MORE: Supermoon Trifecta | Supermoon from Around the World)
NASA says the Delta Aquarids are best viewed in the Southern Hemisphere and southern latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly the tropics.
Not only will the moon be a factor, but you'll need the weather to cooperate, too. This coming weekend will bring clear skies to the Northwest and Deep South, while a chance of storms and severe weather rises for the Midwest and Great Lakes starting Saturday night.

Introduction. In the intensive pathway of the Medical Research Council Myeloma IX trial younger patients (those suitable for high dose therapy) are randomized between two induction schedules namely CVAD and CTD. All responding patients then receive high-dose melphalan (200mg/m2) with stem cell support and are subsequently randomized to no further therapy or maintenance with thalidomide (50-100 mg daily). The purpose of this preliminary evaluation was to determine the applicability of the serum free light chain (SFLC) assay and bone marrow flow cytometry in assessing response to therapy and determine their merits in comparison to conventional response assessment using serum and/or urine paraprotein estimations. Materials and methods. To date (19/01/07) 1007 patients have been enrolled in the intensive pathway of Myeloma IX and 349 have undergone the second randomization to thalidomide maintenance or observation. SFLC as well as standard serum and urine paraprotein assessments were performed in a central reference laboratory at the following time points: presentation, following 3 cycles of induction, end of induction, 6 weeks and 3 months post high-dose therapy and 3 monthly thereafter until relapse. Similarly multiparameter flow cytometric evaluation of plasma cells was evaluated (again in a central laboratory) at presentation, at the end of induction and day 100 following high-dose therapy and annually thereafter until relapse. Results. Preliminary assessment has confirmed the general applicability of the SFLC assay including virtually all patients with light chain disease and approximately 65% of patients with non-secretory disease. Similarly aberrant plasma cell phenotypes (based on expression of CD19, CD56 and CD45) were demonstrable in >95% of patients with assessable bone marrows. The SFLC provided for a more rapid assessment of response to induction therapy compared to standard paraprotein estimations and provided an early identification of patients with refractory disease. Flow cytometry was more valuable in determining complete responses to both induction and high-dose therapy as conventional assessment was influenced by the long half life of the paraprotein in many patients. Conclusions. The SFLC assay and multiparameter flow cytomeric assessment of plasma cell numbers allow for a more rapid and detailed assessment of response in patients receiving intensive sequential therapy.

Well folks don't bother going in search of what was a great shop any more. Having scouted around the area in vain I asked one of the cashiers in the Lidl near Woodies about it and he told me that it had gone into liquidation. So there you have it.... Read more...

Could not find it!
(19 December 2011)
by: Fudge F. 1 out of 5
Looked for this place, both on Tramore Road and after reading online on the phone while searching, tried the suggested new location of the former Mercedes-Benz showroom beside Woodies. Still has Mercedes written on it and no sign of life. Looked at back of Great Gas service station next door, just in case, but nothing. I looked on the CX Oriental facebook page for more information and it said they were moving to beside Woodies. That entry was in September and nothing since. Very odd. Can anyone... Read more...

First thing worth mentioning is that this shop isnt just a wholesale cash and carry, they also have an all you can eat chinese food restaurant attached. The food is actually quite nice, especially since its so cheap. I like coming in here and looking at all the stuff they have. One of their fridges is filled with things in small regular shop size portions, so its worth to pop in and have a look! Used to buy Monster Energy in there by the slab, but from the sounds of it, we were the only ones... Read more...

This a great shop for bulk buying. It's open to the public unlike most cash and carrys. I usually buy my rice here. You can get it in big sacks and there are lots of different varieties. there is also a really good fish shop and I love the all you can eat buffet in the restaurant. There's all sorts of food stuffs many of which I've never seen before but there's also all the usual favourites like soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce but at slightly better prices than in a regular supermarket.

A great shop
(18 September 2010)
by: sam s. 5 out of 5
I love this cash and carry. It's a brilliant place to get those illusive ingredients like wasabi paste. The sacks of rice are very good value, if you eat a lot of rice and I have had some really good veg as well. There are all sorts of weird and wonderful things in the freezer section which it can be interesting to take pot luck with. They stock loads of different noodles and a huge variety of dried chinese goods like seaweed. This is a really interesting place to walk around just to see what's... Read more...

Excellent shop
(06 September 2010)
by: W N. 4 out of 5
Free and a lot of parking area. Located at Tramore road, near south ring N25. Most of goods are intended for Asian consumer. I like the fresh fish which are in my opinion much cheaper than fish in English Market. I often buy sea-bass there. There are a lot of other fish like salmon, crab, bream, prawn, mussels, Also for those who love to eat rice, there are plenty of choice there. And as other typical Asian shop, we can find a lot of Asian spice there. ... Read more...

I only heard of this recently when I got a flyer through the letterbox. It's a cash and carry which is open to the public. Located on the Tramore road, near Cloaiste Stiofan Naofa. Most of it's supplies are intended for Asian and Chinese restaurants but there's quite a few regular household items too, large size washing powder, bin bags and Barrys tea bags. It has a resuaurant which is an all you can eat chinese/asian buffet for €6.95. Fantastic value and highly recommended. Free parking... Read more...

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2011 Vintage) Heady aromas of nectarine, apricot, honeysuckle and star fruit seduce the nose, while on the mouth, an explosion of luscious fruit evolves into a rich mid-palate and a finish that lingers without any trace of astringency. Thanks to a long ripening season, the wine maintains a bright natural acidity which compliments its supple texture. A balanced and charming wine, our 2009 Viognier is poised to delight!
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2013 Vintage) Super-concentrated nose of blackberry, kirsch, moist tobacco, subtle incense and sandalwood really light up the senses. Classic Pride Mountain flavors of dark ripe berries, a range of baking spice nuances, cedar and mocha.
Robert Parker(From 2011 Vintage) Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Robert Parker on 10/20/2014
Wine & Spirits(From 2007 Vintage) Good full, bright ruby. Precise aromas of blackberry, minerals, menthol, cedar and slate. Supple and suave, with a slightly high-toned quality to the dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors. A real crushed-berry bomb, with good acid cut and supple broad tannins. Steve Pride noted that this wine was more aggressive in the mid-rsquo;90s; the winery introduced a gentler destemmer with vintage 2008 and is now pressing the fruit more gently. Therersquo;s now less in the way of oak tannins in the finished wines, he added.

THE terrain which lies between law and psychiatry has, over the years, been extremely inhospitable to psychiatrists. The reasons for this have not always been clear. One explanation which has been offered is that the language of the law is inordinately complex and deliberately obscure. It is doubtful, however, that the complexity of the law is at the root of the problem. To be sure, the law has a language all of its own. But it is a language psychiatrists are perfectly capable of learning. The problem arises from the fact that even after the psychiatrist has understood the law with respect to a given issue, there remain for him enormously difficult clinical, moral, and personal decisions to be made.
A case in point is psychiatry's recent increased involvement in the decision-making process with respect to therapeutic abortions. In this communication attention will be

Great pair of pants...used them with the suspenders on a three-day hike in NH's White Mts. and they were easy to adjust in terms of venting and fit. They kept out the snow and rain and did not get clammy or wet on the inside. Snap closure on the bottom was great for venting too.

The Hobbit: And So It Begins…
Began reading J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" tonight from the 75th Anniversary hard-cover addition (covered and illustrated as it was when read to me 35 years ago). So far, the idea of a baker's dozen of uninvited dwarves arriving for tea and cake with their personal appetites, instruments, and a smoke-ring blowing wizard has been met with captivation.
In all my years of story reading, from ancient Greek mythology to talking Dr. Seussian creatures, I've never heard such a wonderful, precious, time-travelling "What happens next, daddy?".
"What do you think happens next?" I asked. Someone fell asleep before the answer got too far from "they eat more cake; the dragon is at the end..."

BOSTON, MA – Not much sleep to start the Magical History Tour. We were two hours late into Boston thanks to a lavatory vandal somewhere over Texas. The equipment changed out, we touchdown at Logan at 2:30am. Erin's prime Beacon Hill real estate exceeds a modest walk-in closet by a few square feet.
Up by 8am to beat the mugginess of Boston in August to run the Freedom Trail one last time. Before you snort with derision, fellow history nerds, know that in the eight years Erin has lived in Boston we have explored with time and reverence the multiple shrines of American History in Oliver Wendell Holmes' hub of the Solar System. The briefest of looks at Sam Adams' grave, Faneuil Hall and the Old North Church ("One if by land, two if by sea") before meeting our biggest challenge: the 290 steps of the Bunker Hill monument. With trembling knees, we stagger to the nearest subway station.
Erin fights Massachusetts traffic for the last time and we make our way to Connecticut's capital city: Hartford. Competing for parking with a weekend street festival and a confusing street grid we abandon the first capitol and Hartford's creepy vibe for the Hudson Valley of New York.
We don't quite make the 6pm closing time of FDR's Presidential Museum but we're invited to tour the grounds and visit his tomb. The late afternoon is the perfect time to enjoy the golden glow of Roosevelt's mansion. I see the appeal of Hyde Park as a retreat from pulling the nation out of the Great Depression and fighting a world war on two fronts in opposite hemispheres. He was in Warm Springs, Georgia just as the Allies were closing in on Berlin that he told the artist painting his portrait, "I have a terrific headache." I think I outclass Erin by dissing my favorite president when she demanded reverence at Jefferson's grave last year.
Can we make it to Princeton, NJ before dark to visit the next dead president? No, so there's a little extra time to indulge Ben's pleadings to drive close enough to Manhattan for a night view of the famous skyline. The Google Maps navigator nearly sends us the wrong way to our death on the New Jersey Turnpike The Empire State Building and the Freedom Tower are clearly visible over the New Jersey Palisades. Outwardly, I grumble at the schedule being changed but really I'm a giddy tourist seeing the Big Apple for the first time.

What is in this article?:
- Corn market focusing on expected 2012 crop size
- Widely varying opinions
• Prospects of an average yield near 160 bushels would suggest that new-crop corn prices are probably low enough, while prospects for a yield of 164 bushels or higher would likely push prices marginally lower.
More About:
Widely varying opinions
Widely varying opinions about the trend in U.S. average corn yields have emerged in recent years. According to Good, "The long-term increase in average yields is associated with the development and adoption of crop production technology and crop management practices." The nature of those developments has varied over time, but there has been a steady flow of yield-enhancing technology and practices.
For the most part, variation around the trend yield reflects variation in growing season weather, although events such as pest infestations or early occurrences of freezing temperatures can have a yield effect.
Confusion about the yield impact of technology and weather can occur if there is a string of years with very favorable or unfavorable weather. In that case, the impact of weather can mistakenly be attributed to technology and give the impression that the underlying trend yield has changed.
"That appeared to have happened from 2003 through 2009 when generally favorable weather led some to believe that the underlying trend yield was increasing at a faster rate," said Good.
The reverse may have occurred recently; poor weather in 2010 and 2011 resulted in low yields following the record yield of 2009. Overall evidence suggests that the trend in U.S. average corn yields has been linear since 1960 (http://www.farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2012/02/the_historic_pattern_of_us_cor.html).
Opinions about likely summer weather in the Corn Belt center on the El Niño/La Niña Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The Climate Prediction Center forecasts that the winter La Niña is transitioning to neutral conditions. "Historically, such a transition has usually been associated with corn yields near trend value, although deviations in both directions have occurred," said Good. Others are suggesting a transition to an El Niño and increased chances of an above-trend yield in 2012.
U.S. corn plantings are expected to increase by 2 to 3 million acres in 2012. It has been argued that the increase will occur in lower-yielding areas and therefore prove to be a drag on the U.S. average yield.
Good thinks the yield implication of increased acreage is likely to be extremely small.
"First," he said, "some of the increase in corn acreage may occur in the higher yielding areas of the eastern Corn Belt since acreage there in 2011 was below the recent peak of 2007. Second, a 2 to 3 percent increase in acreage has the potential to only marginally impact the U.S. average yield even if all the increase was in low-yielding areas."
While the 2012 yield debate will continue well into the growing season, the most logical expectation is for an average yield near the long-term trend. The trend yield for 2012 is just under 160 bushels per acre. The USDA's early forecast for 2012 is for a yield of 164 bushels.
With harvested acreage projected at 87 million acres, a 4 to 5 bushel difference in the U.S. average corn yield represents a difference of 350 to 435 million bushels in crop size. Prospects of an average yield near 160 bushels would suggest that new-crop corn prices are probably low enough, while prospects for a yield of 164 bushels or higher would likely push prices marginally lower.

mini itx based system?
Hi, my intention is to setup a mini itx computer from which I could stream out music to a receiver/amplifier over hdmi. Equalizing and displaying vu meters in 64 studio is basically all what I need (on small vga lcd display.) Surfing around I got to a zotac ion itx motherboard (integrated atom 330, 1.6GHz.) Would 64 studio fly on a hardware system like this? thanks, Rodrigo
Yes, BUT... ...theres so
Yes, BUT... ...theres so much stuff on 64studio you wouldn't need. I would recommend installing a lightweight distro, and installing an alsa audio meter. It would be less strain on the system, and you could probs get it all on a flash card.
you are probably right, but
you are probably right, but I'm sure I will not the get the same eq functionality, look and feeling than jamin. I will give it a thought, though. Many thanks.

Tribute to Kenneth Pat Wilson
The Kenneth Pat Wilson Center for Economic Education at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock was established in 2004. It was named in Mr. Wilson's honor because of his long-time commitment to economic education in Arkansas. He worked closely with Dr. Bessie Moore to establish the Arkansas Council on Economic Education in the early 1960's and served as a board member on the council for many years. In addition to his many years of service on the council, Mr. Wilson also served as president of the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce, and, later, on the Board of Visitors at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for nearly twenty years. Mr. Wilson also organized and served as Chairman and President of First Arkansas Bank & Trust in Jacksonville from 1949 until his health prevented him from continuing in these positions in the late 1990's. Among the many honors that he earned for his years of service to the community, state, and nation were the William F. Rector Award from Fifty for the Future in 1992, induction into the Arkansas Aviation Hall of fame (for his work in helping secure for Arkansas, the Little Rock Air Force Base) in 1997, and induction into the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame in 2007.

NEW YORK — Memo to Barry and Fran Weissler, the principal producers of the revival that opened on Thursday at the Marquis Theatre: For heaven's sake, don't let that woman get away. Pay her whatever she wants for as long as she wants. Post sentries at the bus stations and airports. Indulge her every caprice; send flowers on her dog's birthday. As another musical once declared, anything goes.
The revival is Annie Get Your Gun. The woman is Bernadette Peters, and from the instant she saunters onto the set about ten minutes into the evening, face smeared with grime and her familiar mop of hair in even greater rebellion than usual, she's as indispensable to this production as a respirator to a heart patient.
