50. Trei Brundrett
Company: Vox Media
Title: VP, Product and Technology
Age: 35
V.C. Funding: $23.5 million
Location: New York
Under Brundrett's direction, Vox Media has evolved into one of the most agile Web-based publishers. Building a proprietary content management platform, his technology powers the journalists of The Verge, Polygon and over 300 SB Nation fan-created media properties. Focused on functional and design-rich technology, Brundrett and Vox have pushed past conventional Web design with efforts such as StoryStream, which populates a writer's updates in real time to provide an organized and intuitive history of complex breaking news. —C.W.
49. Jeff Lanctot
Company: Razorfish
Title: Global CMO
Age: 40
Revenue: $500 million
Location: Seattle
A year ago, Lanctot grabbed headlines by returning to Publicis' Razorfish as chief media officer following a 16-month stint at Microsoft. Since his return to the agency, he has focused on Razorfish's performance marketing strategies and multiplatform effectiveness via display, search and social. Lanctot, who also helped develop social ad units with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare for clients like Coors, Levi's and McDonald's, is key to positioning the agency for the Big Data era. —C.H.
48. Britt Hayes
Company: JWT
Title: Director, Creative Management
Age: 42
Revenue: $350 million (U.S.)
Location: New York
No wonder JWT North America chief David Eastman calls Hayes his "secret weapon." Hayes is as skilled at the recruitment of top talent as she is the day-to-day management of creative staff. Known for her matchmaking acumen, she is well connected in an industry where the assets ride down the elevator every night. This year, Hayes was instrumental in two key personnel moves, tapping Crispin's Jeff Benjamin as North America CCO and Goodby's Mike Geiger as the region's chief integration officer. —N.O.
47. Paul Suchman
Company: BBDO New York
Title: EVP, Senior Director
Age: 44
Revenue: $250 million (N.Y.)
Location: New York
Suchman has almost single-handedly built BBDO's b-to-b operation to where it now accounts for over 25 percent of the New York shop's revenue. Among the accounts he manages are Motorola Solutions, Monster.com and The Economist. In his six years there, he's become known for his scrappy, tenacious approach, bringing BBDO's business-to-consumer storytelling to the b-to-b world. —N.O.
46. Peggy Walter
Company: Leo Burnett
Title: Director, Celebrity Services
Age: 52
Revenue: $450 million (U.S.)
Location: Chicago
Every time you see Dean Winters wreak havoc in one of Allstate's "Mayhem" spots, Walter is there, behind the curtain. For the past 17 years, she has been Leo Burnett's resident talent agent, negotiating and administering contracts between the Publicis shop's clients and the A-list celebrities who appear as spokesmen, record voiceovers and license their music for brand promotions—not to mention lesser-known actors behind such iconic characters as Tony the Tiger and Ronald McDonald. An indispensable fixer and agency linchpin, Walter has worked on more than 100 deals this year alone, touching all facets of Leo Burnett's business. —G.B
45. Gaston Legorburu
Company: SapientNitro
Title: Worldwide Chief Creative Officer
Age: 42
Revenue: $685.6 million
Location: Miami
Legorburu has led SapientNitro's rise over the last six years, accented by a chatter-worthy Fiat TV spot with supermodel Adriana Lima during the Super Bowl. Legorburu hasn't just led inspired creative—he's brought cash to the till, nabbing major brands like Harley-Davidson, The Home Depot, LeBron James and Nascar. He's also poached top creative talent, hiring Alan Schulman from Adobe and Andre Matarazzo from Possible Worldwide as well as luring digital creative veteran Gary Koepke, who had been at Modernista! for more than a decade.
—Chris Heine
44. Sam Olstein
Company: Ignition Factory East/OMD
Title: Director
Age: 28
Revenue: $444 million (OMD)
Location: New York
Olstein has something most in the media agency world don't: a Hollywood Rolodex, plus a deep understanding of how celebrities and brands work together. An expat of talent agencies ICM and Paradigm, his skills have proven valuable at OMD's innovations unit. He helped to team up Olympian Usain Bolt and Gatorade for the iPhone game Bolt. The app was a hit, cracking 1 million downloads on the same summer day the real-life Bolt won gold at the 4x100. —G.B.
43. Michael Lombardo
Company: HBO
Title: President, Programming
Age: 55
Revenue: $3 billion
Location: New York
Not so long ago, pay channel HBO's fortunes were in doubt. Chris Albrecht, the man who brought the net The Sopranos and Six Feet Under, had departed, each of those long-running hits had run its course, and while every critic adored The Wire, it seemed they were the only ones watching. Lombardo became programming chief in 2007, and the friendly, understated exec ushered in Emmy magnets like Mildred Pierce and The Pacific as well as hit series True Blood and Game of Thrones. Future projects from Michael Chabon and Stephen King spell an even brighter future. While not advertising-supported, HBO adds billions to Time Warner's bottom line. —S.T.
42. Dario Spina
Company: Comedy Central
Title: EVP, Integrated Marketing
Age: 43
Revenue: $14.9 billion (Viacom)
Location: New York
Spina is responsible for brokering inspired integrations like that which paired The Colbert Report and Kraft. Those who might question the marriage of comedy and brand marketing needn't worry. When Colbert essentially performed a Wheat Thins brand memo as a comedy routine on his nightly show, Kraft suits weren't nervous—in fact, they thought the bit killed. "Let's face it," said a spokesman, "our brand memo is a lot funnier when it's read by Stephen Colbert." Not untrue. —S.T.
41. Bud Caddell
Company: Deutsch
Title: SVP, Director of Invention
Age: 29
Media Spend: $1.4 billion
Location: Los Angeles
When Tesco's Fresh & Easy grocer wanted to seize on the Pink Slime controversy, Caddell cooked up, in under two hours, the idea for its "Meat Swap" stunt, which let consumers trade ground beef they'd bought at other stores for the client's own chuck. As a digital thinker with a grand mandate—and after only a year at the agency—Caddell's title might raise some eyebrows. But given the shop's forthcoming online experiment for Pop Secret popcorn, he seems positioned to actually help sell-through—and maybe even deliver—the sort of rapid-fire, iterative client work that agency geeks are always fantasizing about. —G.B.

The Need for Mandatory Accreditation and Certification
By Frank Fitzpatrick, Principal, Forensic Management Consulting, Placentia, California; and Detective Lieutenant Kenneth Martin, Crime Scene Services Section, Massachusetts State Police, Sudbury, Massachusetts
he recent National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report, Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward,1 contains several controversial recommendations for U.S. law enforcement agencies to consider.2 However, the strengthening of oversight of forensic science practice should not be controversial.
The NAS report calls for requiring mandatory accreditation of all forensic science provider operations and certification of the practitioners who work there. Even though accreditation and certification should be mandatory components of an agency's quality assurance program, the report observes that "… most jurisdictions do not require forensic practitioners to be certified, and most forensic science disciplines have no mandatory certification programs. Moreover, accreditation of crime laboratories is not required in most jurisdictions."3
The International Association of Chiefs of Police was ahead of the National Academy of Sciences when, at the 113th Annual IACP Conference held in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2006, the members supported a resolution recommended by the then-recently formed Forensics Committee. The resolution, "Forensic Science Accreditation and Certification," recognizes the increasingly important role forensic science plays in adjudicating criminal proceedings and how much the courts rely on forensic evidence and the results of various forensic analyses.
The resolution also acknowledges that the results of forensic analyses must be reliable and accurate and that quality systems such as accreditation and certification play a large role in forensic analyses' accuracy and credibility. The resolution underscores this message:
… [T]he International Association of Chiefs of Police endorses and recommends that all crime laboratories and other forensic service providers strive to become accredited, and that the forensic practitioners who work in those laboratories or other forensic entities seek certification in their respective forensic disciplines; and be it [f]urther [r]esolved that the IACP recommends that accreditation and certification be acquired from professionally recognized and accepted organizations, which are independent from the agency or person seeking accreditation/certification.4
As to "professionally recognized and accepted organizations," the NAS report and the forensic science community specifically recognize an international standard—ISO 17025—as the gold standard in forensic service provider accreditation.
What ISO 17025 Requires
ISO 17025 or, more formally, International Standard ISO/EIC 17025 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories,"5 consists of two parts: the quality management system and technical aspects.
The quality management system contains policies related to quality and top management's commitment to quality. Other standards involve document control, nonconforming work and corrective actions policies, preventive actions, control of records, and management reviews.
Technical aspects include personnel qualifications and training, records of tests performed, technical procedures employed on evidence, scientific validation of those procedures, physical space used for evidence storage and examination, security of records, proper functioning of equipment, storage of evidence, and testing of personnel to ensure their ongoing competency.
Since ISO 17025 applies so broadly to testing laboratories, international bodies adopt supplemental requirements to make these requirements relevant to specific industries. For forensic service providers, ILAC G19:2002 Guidelines for Forensic Science Laboratories "is intended to provide guidance for laboratories involved in forensic analysis and examination by providing application of ISO/IEC 17025."6 More guidance is also provided by additional requirements of accreditation in specific forensic disciplines.
What If You Don't Have a Crime Lab
The definition of a crime laboratory has evolved from the days of blood and drug testing to encompass all activities that test evidence in criminal and civil cases. The NAS report specifically encompasses the following disciplines:
The NAS report does not include DNA, since it had been the subject of previous NAS reports.
The list reveals that most, if not all, police agencies engage in one or more of these activities; therefore, accreditation should apply to identification units commonly located within police agencies.
Certification or Litigation?
The Houston, Texas, Police Department has spent millions of dollars reviewing cases worked in its crime lab.7 The Boston, Massachusetts, Police Department shut down their latent fingerprint unit after discovering an error that led to a man's conviction in a police officer shooting and was forced to bring in contractors, at great expense, to work past and present cases.8 The Los Angeles, California, Police Department also discovered that errors had been made in its latent print operations requiring review of cases and retraining.9
No matter the cost of accreditation, it is always less than litigation. Eliminating shoddy work that exposes an agency to potential litigation is insurance. In addition, the objective review of an agency's operations reassures chiefs that the work their forensic science providers do is of the highest order.
Just like other professions, such as doctors, nurses, teachers, or plumbers, forensic examiners can be certified. Before offering testimony in a court of law where an individual's fate hangs in the balance, expert witnesses should be certified in the forensic discipline about which they are testifying.
It does cost money to certify those forensic examiners assigned to the unit. However, ensuring an examiner's work will pay for itself by averting possible litigation resulting from inferior work.
This financial argument applies to agencies housing a nontraditional forensic laboratory as well. Agencies can pursue programs available both in the areas of accreditation and certifications.10
The NAS report also recommends that sufficient resources be made available to help agencies implement these as well as other recommendations proposed in the report. Without the commitment of adequate funding, along with the continued dedication of such resources, affected agencies will not be able to implement accreditation and certification. ■

If you have been waiting for some miracle product to come around and help you get in better shape, then there appears to be a product that can do just that. Contour Abs is a belt that is designed to give you tighter, toned abdominal muscles without requiring you to do a single sit-up or crunch. Although that may seem too good to be true, there are almost a million users who would be able to tell you that it actually worked for them.
What Is Contour Abs?
This is a neoprene belt that goes around your waist and provides electrical stimulation to your abdominal muscles. What is unique about this product is that it actually gives you the same kind of workout that you would get if you were doing sit-ups or crunches, but it doesn't hurt at all. In fact, you won't feel anything other than your abdominal muscles gently contracting up to 150 times per session.
How Does It Work?
First of all, this belt is designed to fit just about any size waist and can be used just about anywhere. It doesn't have to be plugged into a wall to work, and it is small enough that it will fit underneath your clothing whether you are at work or at the gym. It was developed because there are many people who simply can't do sit-ups or crunches without hurting themselves and they can be very tough on your back and your neck. With Contour Abs, you will never need to do another sit-up again.
The system that is used to deliver the electrical stimulations to your abdominal muscles has long been used by physical therapists and those in the sports industry as a way to strengthen and heal muscles. This is patented and FDA-approved technology that is 100% safe and you should notice a difference in the tightness of your muscles from the very first time that you use it.
Contour Abs: What Do You Get In the Box?
When you buy any product such as this, it is usually a good idea to make sure that you buy it from the source and when you buy Contour Abs from the official web site, you will get a one year warranty on the product as well as a 30 day risk-free trial. This trial period will enable you to try the product out for yourself, during which time you should notice a significant change in the strength and overall definition of your abdominal muscles if you use it on a daily basis.
What Do the Reviews Say About Contour Abs?
When you go online, you will notice that there are many reviews for Contour Abs, in part because this has become a very popular product. Both men and women are using it to help tighten and tone their abs and to get their body in shape for swimsuit weather.
"This is amazing – it really is. You want to work out, you want to eat right. I feel amazing."
- Jason (Testimony from company website)
Of course, you will need to do more than simply wear the belt – diet and exercise is still part of the equation. Contour Abs will take care of your abdominal region, and it will provide you with the guidance that can help you lose body fat and get the rest of your body in shape, too.
"I really didn't think that this would work but you notice it the very first day. I can't believe how different my abs look like now."
- Richie (Testimony from company website)
The difference that you see in the photographs of people who have used this is really quite amazing, and you can see muscles and definition in their "after" photographs that certainly weren't there in their "before" photographs.
"When you first put it on you notice a little tickle, and then you feel your stomach working. It doesn't hurt and it actually provides a little back support which is great."
- Chelsea (Testimony from company website)
Where Should You Buy It?
You can sometimes find "copycat" products in sporting goods stores, but they often don't have the features that Contour Abs, such as the adjustable intensity and the diet and exercise guide. Also, when you buy this from the official web site, you will get the belt, the controller, the batteries, and the electrodes.
They are also throwing in a storage and travel clutch, a full instructional DVD, and a use and care manual for the product. All of this is yours to try for 30 days.
Is This the Right Product For You?
Having strong abs is the sign of a healthy body and is also something that you will want to show off in the summer time. You can spend hours in the gym working on your abs, or you can choose to use Contour Abs which will give you the same high quality ab workout in a fraction of the time with no effort on your part at all. If having strong, defined, and toned abs are important to you, then Contour Abs can really make a difference in a matter of weeks.

White River
Ilex is a genus of trees and shrubs occurring worldwide, especially in tropical and temperate parts of Asia and North and South America. It is composed of 30 deciduous species and greater than 750 evergreen species. The best known are two evergreen hollies with red berries and spiny leaves - Ilex aquifolium, native to Europe (English holly) and Ilex opaca, native to the Eastern United States (American holly).
Many legends have grown up around these two plants. The custom of decorating dwelling places with evergreen holly derives from the Druid belief that woodland spirits would take refuge from the rigors of winter in the holly branches. In Christian England, holly (believed by some to be a corruption of the word holy) was used to decorate churches, houses and market places at Christmas. Native Americans painted or embroidered sprays of holly on their shields and jackets. The spiny leaves symbolized the fierceness of the warriors. The toughness of the wood indicated they would never submit to their enemies. Holly symbolized defense and was often planted around the Indians' cabins to keep away evil spirits.
Landscape Interest and Usage
Holly leaves may have spined, toothed, or smooth margins and are usually simple and alternate. Flowers appear from spring to early summer, are usually white or cream and do not add significant interest to this plant. Hollies are dioecious, that is the male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The female plants bear fruit in autumn but only if a male is nearby to serve as pollinator. The red or black, occasionally white, orange, or yellow BERRIES are spherical, sometimes ellipsoid, and MAY CAUSE A MILD STOMACH UPSET IF THEY ARE EATEN.
Hollies are best used where their year-round interest can be appreciated. Smaller shrub hollies can be used as hedges and foundation plantings. Taller hollies can be used as screens or as specimen trees. They respond well to pruning. If berries are desired, a male of the same species must be planted nearby to serve as pollinator.
Evergreen hollies should always be purchased with earth balls around their roots, never with bare roots. However, deciduous hollies may be moved in either the spring or fall and with bare roots. It is best to plant or transplant early in the spring. Sometimes, when transplanted in the fall, they drop all their leaves. Usually these grow again in the spring, but sometimes the plants simply die during the winter.
Hollies should be grown in moist but well drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil in full sun or in partial shade. Hollies prosper when soil pH is between 5.5 and 7.0. Light shade protects the evergreen hollies from winter burn.
Sow the seed in containers in a cold frame in the autumn. Germination may take 2 or 3 years. Take the semi-ripe cuttings in the spring.
Hollies For Your Garden
AMERICAN HOLLY I. opaca
This holly is considered the Christmas holly. It is an erect, evergreen, large shrub or tree with oblong-elliptic, spine-toothed or entire, leathery, dark green leaves which are 2 to 4 inches long. It bears crimson or occasionally yellow or orange fruit 1/4 inch across. Height: 9 ft in 18 yrs, 36 ft in 80 yrs. USDA zones 6a-9a.
INKBERRY I. glabra
This is an upright, much-branched, rounded evergreen shrub. Leaves are dark green and often lustrous with smooth edges and a few teeth at the tip, up to 2 inches in length. Berries are black, often hidden by foliage and are held through the winter. Some white-fruited cultivars are available. Height: 6-8 ft. USDA zones 5a-9a.
CHINA BOY and CHINA GIRL HOLLY Ilex x meserveae 'China Boy', 'China Girl'
This is a compact, upright, rounded shrub . The leaves are moderate olive green and have 2-3 prominent spines on each side of the leaves. 'China Girl' produces vivid reddish-orange fruit; 'China Boy' serves as the pollinator. Height: 2-3 ft in 8 yrs, 6-7 ft in 20 yrs if not pruned. USDA zones 5a-8a.
WINTERBERRY I. verticillata
This is a rounded, tall shrub which tends to sucker. The deciduous leaves have finely toothed margins. The berries are usually red, persisting into January, dependent on the bird population. 'Winter Red' is one of the best cultivars for fruit color, abundance and persistence. All cultivars of this species are extremely hardy. Height: 6-9 ft. USDA zones 4a &endash; 9a.
ENGLISH HOLLY I. aquifolium
This species is hardy only to zone 7 so it cannot be grown in Indiana. The best specimens are seen in mild coastal climates including the Pacific Northwest coast and Long Island, New York.

Dwarf freshwater shrimp and nano aquariums (the two of which are often associated) are rapidly growing and rewarding segments of the aquatic hobby. The availability of new shrimp varieties has increased greatly over the last couple of years, along with the number of dedicated shrimp tanks being cultivated throughout the country. A relatively small initial investment in time and money will allow the beginner to explore this exciting hobby and reap success. The many new varieties of dwarf shrimp being introduced to the United States market make this hobby vibrant, interesting and challenging.
There are three categories of decorative freshwater shrimp that are widely available to the hobbyist today: Sulawesi, Neocaridina species and Caridina cantonensis. I will concentrate on the Neocaridina species and Caridina cantonensis. They are referred to as neos and bees, respectively.

NEW HAVEN — In a rural region like Addison County, nearly everyone, even people not involved in agricultural businesses, sees a farm almost every day. Not surprisingly, many people develop an interest in getting their hands in the soil and taking part in agriculture at the level of the home garden.

Representative Akin, Your Appallingly Inaccurate Comments Underscore a Significant Barrier to Reproductive Health Care: MISINFORMATION
This week, the US has been abuzz about Senate candidate Todd Akin's offensive comments. They have already been repeated ad nauseam, so no need to give them more air time here. Suffice to say, they were appallingly disrespectful and inaccurate. Fortunately, his comments have not gone unchallenged. And they have highlighted a significant barrier to providing reproductive health care: misinformation.
So often in the realm of sexual and reproductive health, misinformation abounds, but is not corrected. That's not the case here. The publicity garnered by his comments has brought stark attention to the fallacies behind his remarks. It's been refreshing to see the range of commentators jumping in to provide medical feedback and ensure accurate sexual and reproductive health information is discussed. Too often, that's not what we see.
Let's use Representative Akin's ridiculous remarks to share with others the critical needs that women still have both in the US and in countries around the world.In countries where Pathfinder works, we encounter women who are provided with inaccurate information about contraception, or communities where misinformation about safe pregnancy and delivery is prevalent. Only it's not headline making news. Unfortunately, these situations fly below the radar, leaving only a wake of women without access to the quality reproductive health care services they need.
Representative Akin's remarks highlight the need for improved conversations about sexual and reproductive health care both in the US and abroad. It's critical that we turn misinformation into empowerment by using these instances as teachable moments. Whether through humor, commentary, discussion, tweets, blogs, news stories, or conversations with friends, let's use Representative Akin's ridiculous remarks to share with others the critical needs that women still have both here in the US and in countries around the world. Let's start conversations about subjects that all-too-often do not get discussed like gender-based violence, rape, pregnancy, contraceptives, and yes, even, uteruses.
Women everywhere need and deserve access to quality sexual and reproductive health services everywhere. If we can stamp out misinformation about women's health, bodies, and care, we can take down another barrier women face each and every day.

The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2009by Elizabeth Kolbert
Elizabeth Kolbert, one of today's leading environmental journalists, edits this year's volume of the finest science and nature writing.
Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Changeby Elizabeth Kolbert
An argument for the danger of global warming in a book that is sure to be as influential as Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," Known for her insightful journalism, "New Yorker" writer Elizabeth now tackles the controversial subject of global warming.
The Sixth Extinction : An Unnatural Historyby Elizabeth Kolbert
A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes.<P><P> Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.<P> Pulitzer Prize Winner

The Hat-bird calls to me...
On a lighter note, I have my very own Protean Froakie now that I just finished EV training. Thank you friend safari!!!
Now if only I could find where Swablu is...
Friend code is 3282-2857-0428
Imma add you soon.
Regarding that list on the last page with the rumored mega evos....you guys are aware of how, say, mega Alakazam can only use moves regular Alakazam can learn, correct? Well, if you didn't know, certain Pokemon that now get mega evos got new moves this generation obviously to take advantage of their new mega form. Heracross got Pin Missile, Arm Thrust, and Bullet Seed to take advantage of mega Heracross's Skill Link. Ampharos got Dragon Pulse to compliment mega Ampharos' dragon-typing (pretty sure it didn't get Dragon Pulse before). There are a few more examples (although I believe Gyarados still lacks access to Crunch for some dumb reason). Well, I was looking at Sunflora's movepool, and it doesn't get any Fire attacks at all. Which makes little sense, since not only would mega Sunflora (which the rumor claims is Grass/Fire with Flash Fire) lack any sort of secondary STAB, but it wouldn't even get a power boost from Flash Fire, which only powers up fire-type attacks. I looked further, and Druddigon seems to still lack access to a physical poison attack not named Poison Tail, which would be strange considering mega Druddigon's claimed poison typing. I believe there are a few other examples as well. This is all from Serebii, and upon time of posting I have only checked it and Bulbapedia once (earlier today), so there is the small chance that some of this information is wrong, but still.
This certainly puts doubt of the mystery rumor of the last page, but it doesn't disprove it. In fact, there is one piece of optimism I can point out right now regarding this "new move" argument. As those of you that have beaten the Elite Four may have noticed, Alteria gets access to Moonblast now. Besides Altaria, only Lunatone and fairy-types can learn this move. Lunatone has a very valid reason to be an exception, but why Altaria? It doesn't have any relation to the moon as far as I know. I'll check its Bulbapedia page again soon to confirm this, but it seems a bit strange.

text: Meet the 2010-11 WB/S Pens: Forwards Posted by on Oct 1, 2010 03:19 ShareTweet Wilkes-Blog will be giving a run-down on each Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins member. We'll be breaking the posts down by position. First up — the forwards. *Jersey numbers are subject to change. #25 ERIC TANGRADI aka: The Big Dog Player Type: Power Forward Acquired: From Anaheim on Feb. 26, 2009, with Chris Kunitz for Ryan Whitney. Fun fact: Worked at an ice cream shop before turning pro (Custard & Cakes Creamery). The team's number one prospect, Tangradi likes to make his living in front of the net. Screening goalies, causing havoc in in the blue paint, and tipping pucks are his M.O. The coaching staff praises his skill-set, size, and strength. Projected as a top-six winger, eventually flanking Crosby or Malkin. When he's not sniping goalies on Xbox, he likes to get in on the forecheck and bang bodies. Look for Tangradi to make an impact in the NHL as soon as this season. #23 RYAN CRAIG aka: Captain Craig Player Type: Power Forward Acquired: Free Agent, July 2, 2010. Fun fact: Enjoys cooking, long walks on the beach, and schooling defenses. After captaining and being named Norfolk Admirals player of the year last season, Craig looks like he is the front runner to wear the "C" for WB/S. In the AHL, his role will be on the top scoring line as the number one center. As an NHL call-up, his role will be a fourth-line role player expected to fight and play physically. Works hard every shift, which will set a good example for the younger prospects. #29 BRETT STERLING aka: The Ticket Player Type: Sniper Acquired: Free Agent, 2010. Fun fact: Colby Armstrong influenced him to sign with Wilkes-Barre/Pittsburgh. One of the proven elite goal scorers in the AHL, Sterling will be expected to lead this team to the Calder Cup playoffs. As I mentioned back in July, he is undoubtedly the biggest signing in franchise history. To quote Jonathan Bombulie, "Will get you 30 goals, might get you 50." It's probably not too crazy to say that he could set the franchise record for points in a season (currently held by Janne Pesonen). Can't wait 'til he goes bar-down in Hershey and quiets that damn crowd. #18 CHRIS CONNER aka: Little Cons Player Type: Speedster Acquired: Free Agent, 2009. Fun fact: Started the 2010 St. Patrick's Day Massacre. Conner was among the top WB/S scorers last season. He relies on his quickness to motor past defenders at the AHL level. He set the franchise record for most points in one game (6) last year. A reliable top-six forward, look for Conner to have an even more successful year, playing with better linemates. Can fill an NHL call-up role in a pinch. #21 DUSTIN JEFFREY Player Type: Playmaker Acquired: Drafted by PIT / 2007, 6th round (171st overall) Fun fact: Scored first NHL goal against Manny Fernandez. Jeffrey excels defensively, and is an offensive threat on the penalty kill. He led WB/Scranton last season in scoring (24 goals, 71 points). Plays in all situations including the top power play. Was the Baby Pens lone AHL All-Star representative last year. #28 NICK JOHNSON aka: The Juice Player Type: Dangler Acquired: Drafted by PIT / 2004, 3rd round (67th overall) Fun fact: Played four seasons at Dartmouth (NCAA). Johnson is kind of a tweener, where he doesn't have the skills to play a regular top-6 NHL role and doesn't have the grit to play a bottom-6 role. At the minor-league level, he is relied on for producing offense though. His stickhandling skills are above average and a few highlight reel goals last year proved so. He recently signed a 1-year, 2-way deal so this will be a make or break season for him. Jesse from Faceoff-Factor coined his nickname. #24 TIM WALLACE aka: The Alaskan Crab Player Type: Grinder Acquired: Free Agent, May 2007. Fun fact: The jokester of the locker room. Undrafted, Wallace was originally looked at as nothing but a fourth-line plugger. But last season he continued to impress Shero and Co. by leading the team with 27 goals. He has a willingness to fight, although he isn't overly strong in that category, coming from the NCAA. He is actually one game under the AHL Veteran rule mark, so he won't be considered as an "overager". (In the AHL, you can only dress 5 veteran players.A Veteran player is one who has played a combined 260 games total in the NHL, AHL or European Premier League.Basically, anyone with 3.5 years of experience in the AHL & NHL combined is a veteran.) #26 JOE VITALE Player Type: Grinder Acquired: Drafted by PIT / 2005, 7th round (195th overall) Fun fact: Won three state championships and one national title while in high school. A faceoff-specialist and penalty killer, Vitale looks like he could have the ability to fill a fourth-line center role one day in Pittsburgh. For what he lacks in production, he brings in speed and grit. Near the beginning of his first pro season last year, he showed flashes of becoming a potential pest or agitator. The second half of that year would disagree, as he did not show willigness to drop the gloves or get under the opposition's skin. #44 KEVEN VEILLEUX aka: Beast Mode™ Player Type: Power Forward Acquired: Drafted by PIT / 2007, 2nd round (51st overall) Fun fact: Pens drafted him after Tangradi was taken off the table by Anaheim. One of the most intriguing prospects in the system, this giant of a kid is looking to prove himself at the professional level. Some fans have realistic expectations of him putting up 35-40 goals this year in the AHL. KV does things with the puck that no 6'5″ forward can do. He can dangle through defenders and score a highlight-reel goal, and he isn't afraid to fight. On top of that, he likes to finish his checks and is a go-to guy in the shootout. #19 CHRIS COLLINS aka: The Hamburgler Player Type: Sniper Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2010. Fun fact: Boston College legend (NCAA). After impressing greatly in WB/S camp/pre-season, Collins looks like he is primed for a high-scoring season himself. After spending the previous three seasons overseas in the FNL / DEL, he is making his return to North American hockey. He put up 22 goals with the Providence Bruins in '07-08. His nickname stems from his apparently frequent visits to McDonald's. #28 GEOFF WALKER aka: Jumpin' Geoff Player Type: Power Forward Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2010. Fun fact: Fan favorite in Manchester last year. He opened eyes at the London rookie tournament last month, and continued to show up in training camp. Should fill a nice third line role for Wilkes-Barre, as he brings a mixture of goal scoring and grit. Has done nothing but score goals and fight since he signed with the Pens. #11 ZACH SILL Player Type: Grinder Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2009. Fun fact: Hates Greg Amadio (Grand Rapids, previously Hershey). Sill will continue his role as the fourth-line center, flanking two heavyweight fighters alongisde him. Although he'll be riding shotgun to these goons, don't be fooled. He can drop the gloves, and he throws from his heels. He has some untapped potential in the scoring department. A toe-to-toe style scrapper, Sill is still on an AHL-only deal but is highly respected by the coaching staff. #41 JOEY HADDAD Player Type: Power Forward Acquired: Free Agent, 2008. Fun fact: Favorite movie is Armageddon. Undrafted, his first pro season was spent mostly in the Wheel House last year, where he performed decently. He won't have a spot in WB/S handed to him – he'll have to earn his way into the line-up on a nightly basis. A gritty player who can chip in is always valued by Shero and his staff, and that's what he can bring. Aside from Sterling, he might have the best wrist shot on the team. He just has to find a way to get it off quickly enough against top-end defenders. #62 JESSE BOULERICE aka: Bowl-Of-Rice Player Type: Fighter Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2009. Fun fact: TKO'd Aaron Downey in the first ever fight at CONSOL Energy Center. Last year he played the entire year on an AHL tryout basis. This time around he's locked up on an AHL contract. A former everyday heavyweight in the NHL, Boulerice spent most of his time with Carolina and Philly. Every single player in the league knows what he's about. He'll try to end your life. That's why he's such a good deterrent. He led WB/S with 19 fights last season high-lighted by this battle against Hershey jobber Grant McNeill: #17 RYAN SCHNELL Player Type: Fighter Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2009. Fun fact: Played for the US National Development Team from 2005-07. Schnell was Wheeling's heavyweight last year, but he is looking to make his mark at the next level above. He's a young, powerful fighter who proved himself as one of the best in the ECHL just a year ago. Looks like he could ride shotgun to Boulerice, but there is another one of these guys in camp… #55 PASCAL MORENCY Player Type: Fighter Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2010. Fun fact: Had 596 PIM in '01-02 with Cape Breton (QMJHL). A team-first guy, Morency was invited to WB/S camp and could easily have a fourth line role once again. An already proven fighter in the American League, Morency plays a crash and bang style of hockey. He runs around, hitting everything that moves, and usually ends up boarding some guys in the process. Although he competes viciously, he doesn't always drop his gloves and ends up goading some other fighters into taking penalties. #91 ANDREW ORPIK aka: The Sandman Player Type: Grinder Acquired: Free Agent (AHL-only deal), 2010. Fun fact: Played competitive golf. Yes, he's Brooks Orpik's little brother. No, he doesn't have the same hitting ability. But his role is a pure grinder, and his mission is to block shots, and finish his checks. He knows he has to fight more too, so look for him to get into a few altercations this season. He'll most likely start with the Nailers, but will be called-up quickly. #15 NICK PETERSEN Player Type: Playmaker Acquired: Drafted by PIT / 2009, 4th round (121st overall) Fun fact: Grew up a Senators fan. Petersen will be making his professional debut this season, coming straight out of juniors (St. John's, QMJHL). Most likely slated to start with the Wheeling Nailers, he should see his fair share of call-up time to the AHL. Likes to tip pucks in front of the net, but is considered as a pure playmaker and is known for his above average passing ability. Look for Petersen to open some eyes in the "E" early on, as he loves to rack up the assists column. NEXT UP: Defensemen ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About View all posts by →

In my recent work related to events and signals, I had a little discussion about errors that are thrown during the dispatch of an event or signal. I did some investigating to see how EventDispatcher handles this and found something rather surprising.

Errors During Dispatch

Introducing TurboSignals
Feb 16
My last article on Callback Strategies highlighted some pretty severe performance differences between my Runnable strategy, as3signals by Robert Penner, and Flash's native Event system. My simple Runnable technique had an artificial advantage though: it was not a proper library but instead a little bit of code built right into the test app. Today I'm introducing TurboSignals as an AS3 library making use of the Runnable technique.
Callback Strategies
Feb 1
I've previously covered ways of implementing in my article on Runnables (aka observers) which showed how to call back about 15 times faster than just using a Function object. There are still more ways to call back though and I didn't cover them at the time. Today I'll be adding to Function and Runnables by testing Event and the as3signals library by Robert Penner.

Stephen Kimatian's Sunday column garnered over 1,000 comments, and readers are still chiming in.
Kimatian writes that being a Democrat is easier than being a Republican. Part of his argument is that the Democratic platform is altruistic in appearance and self-serving in actuality. No one can refuse Democrats' promises of creating and extending benefits to all. That's how Democrats secure votes and contributions, Kimatian says.
President Clinton's workfare program back in 1996 was well-received. According to Kimatian, studies showed that people in the program liked working for their checks and setting examples for their kids. Democrats are hesitant to ask the people for commitment, Kimatian writes, because they're protecting votes.
Readers brought up a lot of points regarding social capital, classes and welfare. Here are some of them:
From NotWavingButDrowning: The "slippery slope to servitude"? Mr. Kimatian has a way with words. But the servitude we need to worry about is servitude to the oligarchs. Republicans favor the interests of the rich. Tax policies of the Grand Old Party in the present millennium are like this: Wealth, not work, is rewarded. George W. Bush cut taxes mainly on the rich. The top bracket on earned income fell from 39.6% to 35% on earned income, but from 39.6% to 15% on dividends. When Republicans retook the House, Paul Ryan drafted his "road map" eliminating taxes on interests, dividends, capital gains, and estates. Some people might live entirely on inherited wealth and pay no taxes at all. Are these the makers or the takers? And everyone knows about the continuing concentration of wealth in the top 1%; no need to go into it.
From Not A Lobotomized Democrat: The article was a breath of fresh air in the otherwise stagnant redundancy of Liberal "Give Away the Store" propaganda and entitlement culture-AKA in Albany as the "Dream Act." As far as Limolib's comments...if the Repub's brought us war then why didn't Obama get us out of it when he took office? Same ole incantations from the left-blame Bush. That ploy just isn't cutting it anymore boys-time for some new smoke and mirrors. Chuck Sheen-keep calling as you do--you da man!!
From Thunderbird55: "It's easy to be a Democrat, Stephen Kimatian writes, because all you have to do is promise to give voters something, no strings attached." I think that is a terribly stereotypical thing to say. As a Liberal and one who has always worked for whatever I have I take great pride in my ability to provide for my family. The article seemed to be very much extreme one way vs extreme the other way. Personally I think that it's easier to be a Democrat because they seem more interested in Social injustice such as Gay rights and less interested in helping the rich get richer. I know that's a pretty broad statement but the article was painted with a pretty broad brush as well.
From Steve_Peters_115: I know a great many democrats as I work with a private union. I support private unions. These people work hard and actually live their lives very conservatively. They are just duped by the media and stupid PC stuff that dems are for little people. Dems and libs help the big guys a lot more than the little guys some think they help. How many have been added to welfare and poverty since Hope and Change began. He had congress both chambers for his first 2 years. DEms are for Democracy which is majority rule and always ends in tyranny when the money runs out. Republicans and better libertarians are for the rule of law. Tyranny of the majority is no better than tyranny of the majority.
From unclesi: you worry about how bloated CEO's pockets are but ignore how bloated Government has gotten, and I would be willing to bet that if you compared the two Government is way above CEO's for taking money out of the workers pockets. Government created the atmosphere for off shoring, bad trade agreement's and manipulating the markets.
From hwintery: A couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting "income inequality." He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that's not just. That is the rationale of thievery. The other guy has it, you want it, Obama/democrats will take it for you. Vote Democrat.' It follows that in school if you work hard and get higher grades then that is not right and the grades need to be shared with others whether they worked or not.
From SaltCityMuckraker: A tangible flaw with Mr. Kimatian's argument are voter turnout rates. He contends that Democrats "buy" votes by offering benefits with "no strings" attached. If he took the time to review voter turnout rates in recent local and State elections he would discover his argument is baseless. Only small percentages of registered voters turn out to vote in local and State elections; there is no "buying" of votes to stay on the public dole. The real issue is that politicians like himself have no clue on how to spur economic growth that would create jobs. His kind want to build stadiums; offering tax payer dollars to wealthy friends and influential organizations.
Do you think it's easy being a Democrat? Add your comment to the discussion below.

Florida was weird as only it can be in 2011
caines | 1/4/2012, 7:29 a.m.
A Flagler County woman who bought what she thought was a novelty cigarette lighter called authorities when it turned out to be a real, though not live, grenade. Police in Greenacres evacuated a neighborhood when a woman digging in her yard uncovered a World War II-era grenade and a Jacksonville man found a World War II-era bazooka round while tearing down a shed A celebrity boxing promoter sued Jose Canseco when the former baseball star sent his identical twin Ozzie to the bout instead. 'Taliban Toyota' A Pensacola Toyota dealer lost a $7.5 million lawsuit filed by an Iranian-born competitor. The lawsuit said the dealer told customers that his competitor was funneling money to terrorists and called his business ``Taliban Toyota.'' A South Florida man accidently threw out his wife's engagement ring then went to the dump the next day and sifted through a 9-ton pile of trash. He found it.
Not that romance always flourished in Florida. A Broward County woman was arrested after holding a steak knife to her husband's throat and demanding he sign divorce papers.
A Gainesville woman was arrested after her ex-boyfriend accused her of throwing an urn with his mother's ashes through a window and an Orange County man laid down in front of a car to try to stop his girlfriend from leaving after a fight. But the driver didn't see him and he was run over. Panama City police say a man crashed through a Waffle House while trying to run over his wife, a waitress at the restaurant. Deputies said a Walmart employee in Naples pepper sprayed a coworker and then bit the tip off her finger after hearing a rumor that the victim was sleeping with the attacker's husband. And in just plain odd news, an Ocala ice cream shop got rid of its costumed mascot _ a waving vanilla cone _ because passers-by kept mistaking him for a hooded Ku Klux Klansman. Also, a woman with two uteruses gave birth to twins in Clearwater_ one from each. And speaking of uteruses, a Democratic lawmaker accused the House speaker of admonishing him for saying the word during floor debate, a charge Speaker Dean Cannon denied. Still Democratic lawmakers and others around the Capitol began wearing pink buttons that simply said ``UTERUS.'' By Brendan FarringtonAssociated Press
