John Gibson is being treated like some sort of anomaly, a unicorn of sorts that has arrived on the scene in Anaheim to offer the Ducks a chance at a magical run to a Stanley Cup.
A second-round pick in 2011 who had played three more NHL games in his career than a box of Junior Mints before the playoffs began, Gibson has been a brick wall in this conference semifinal series with the Los Angeles Kings that will conclude with Game 7 in Anaheim on Friday. In three starts since replacing the injured Frederik Andersen and leapfrogging Jonas Hiller on the depth chart, Gibson is 2-1 with a 1.69/.946 split.
That's not bad for a guy who was playing in the AHL a few weeks ago.
Teemu Selanne, when asked about young goalie @JohnGibson35: "He was joking [that] his mom is the same age as me and I almost punched him"— Mike Morreale (@mikemorrealeNHL) May 13, 2014
Gibson has been touted as the next great American goaltender since he was drafted, and the 20-year-old's invite to Team USA Olympic orientation camp last summer is a strong indication of what some of the sport's top minds think of him. His time wasn't supposed to be now, but here he is, one win away from an improbable trip to the Western Conference Final.
Well, in reality, this performance by Gibson isn't improbable at all; it's more an extreme case of what has been happening with goaltenders in the NHL since 2005-06.
"Young kids don't know any better," Ducks winger Corey Perry told Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski after Gibson's Game 4 shutout of the Kings in his postseason debut. "They come in and they play the way they're told to play."

Practical thinking says for a team to win a Stanley Cup, an experienced, and of course talented, goaltender is required. It usually takes a few years for a young team to learn how to win in the playoffs, grow from defeat, learn from mistakes. Very rarely does a team arrive on the scene out of nowhere and win a championship without absorbing a few painful lessons in the preceding seasons.
That somehow hasn't applied to most goaltenders in recent seasons.
Cam Ward backstopped the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup as a rookie in 2006 after playing just 28 regular-season games. He replaced veteran Martin Gerber in the first round and went on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Ray Emery had 45 games of regular-season experience before the 2006-07 season, the year he helped lead the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Final, although he did get a two-round taste of the postseason in 2006. Antti Niemi split time during the 2009-10 regular season with Cristobal Huet before taking the reins for the Chicago Blackhawks' championship run, which ended with a Game 6 win against Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Michael Leighton, who was in his first postseason.
Boudreau downplaying expectations re: John Gibson: "He's good, but he's not Jonathan Quick right now"— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) May 15, 2014
In 2012, Jonathan Quick was hardly a rookie, but he went up against future Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur in the finals and got the best of him. Quick had played in 12 postseason games before 2012; Brodeur had played in 181.
Each of those cases is a snowflake, and nothing exactly matches what Gibson is trying to do with the Ducks, but a wealth of experience is hardly a mandatory requirement for a goaltender in search of a Stanley Cup these days.
"He showed [the ability to steal games] in Norfolk this year when teams outshot us like 50-10 and we would still win 1-0," Ducks center Rickard Rakell said to NHL.com's Corey Masisak of the time he spent with Gibson in the AHL. "He's been unbelievable the whole year. I don't think anybody is surprised with what he's shown so far."
Gibson planted the seeds of confidence in Bruce Boudreau during his short stint with the Ducks in the regular season. After an 18-save shutout in his NHL debut, Boudreau went back to Gibson two nights later in a game against the San Jose Sharks with the Pacific Division on the line. Gibson stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Ducks' division-clinching 5-2 victory that served as an unintentional audition for postseason playing time.
Who wins Game 7 between the Kings and Ducks?
"Quite frankly, with the San Jose game to me, which was for first place in the division and really important, he came in as cool as a cucumber," Boudreau said to Masisak. "We thought at that point that we could start him (in Game 1 of the first round). I didn't really want to jump the gun because these two guys (Andersen and Hiller) had been with us the whole year and done a great job. The confidence I have in this young man is great. I knew he was going to do a good job."
Of course, all this talk will become moot if the Ducks lose Game 7 to the Kings, no matter how well Gibson plays. But the one thing that's certain for Anaheim is that the future is bright as long Gibson is between the pipes.
"It's obviously exciting, but we haven't won anything yet," Gibson said to Masisak. "I think we'll be excited if we win. That's the time to celebrate."

News about Kenya, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. More
The Republic of Kenya is one of the most developed and economically robust nations in Africa. Located near the equator in East Africa, the country's diverse natural landscapes and wildlife have contributed to its strong agricultural economy and helped make it a popular tourist destination. Kenya also shares fame as one of the oldest sites for human habitation, dating back to the Lower Paleolithic Era.
Kenya's modern history has been marked by its efforts to maintain a stable post-colonial state amidst long-term ethnic rivalries. After winning independence from Great Britain in 1963, the country was unified by Jomo Kenyatta and his influential Kenya African National Union party, which dominated politics exclusively until 2002. A disputed presidential election in 2007 triggered ethnic violence, riots and wide-scale destruction of property. In 2013, Jomo's son Uhuru Kenyatta was elected president without incident, despite being named a suspect of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court for inciting bloodshed during the 2007 crisis. Kenya's government has also struggled to handle a wave of violence after militants from Shabab, an Islamist group, attacked Nairobi's Westgate Mall in 2013 in retaliation for Kenya's military operation in Somalia.

John Lumpkin (right) looks on as Governor Jim Edgar signs a World AIDS Day poster pledging increased support
As the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, John Lumpkin has 11.7 million patients. Those individuals, the total of Illinois residents, rely on Lumpkin and his staff for numerous public health services, yet the vast majority don't realize it.
"The latest Harris poll showed that most people think public health is health care for the poor," says Lumpkin. "But when you ask them about the things we do, you find an approval rating of greater than 80 percent for most of the programs in public health. Apparently, the public just doesn't know that we are responsible for these programs."
Twelve years ago, Lumpkin was still an emergency medicine specialist, but around that time he came to a realization that changed his career path. Frustration, as it turned out, helped him choose public health. "After a period of time working in an emergency department, there was a level of dissatisfaction in trying to treat problems one person at a time," he says. "Now, I'm able to serve 11.7 million at one time. I wanted to have a broader impact, to move into meaningful prevention, and reach a broader group of people."
Lumpkin says that has come to pass. Not only does his department develop policy that affects every Illinois resident, but it serves people in diverse settings, from counties that number 7,000 in total population to Chicago, with three million people in the city proper and another four million in the suburbs.
To augment his public health skills once he changed directions, Lumpkin pursued an MPH at the UIC School of Public Health. It wasn't so much the degree he needed, Lumpkin says, but the expertise he gained in epidemiology, biostatistics, and health systems management, all of which have been essential in his job as the state's health guardian. "If you're going to practice public health on a practical level, you must have those skills," Lumpkin says. "Training in epidemiology allowed me to think in a more systemic fashion than one case at a time, to look at implications in a broader sense - of not only treating somebody with a major injury, for instance, but of considering what can be done to prevent that injury in the first place.
"Until I came to the School of Public Health, I didn't fully appreciate the difference between an injury and an accident. Accidents, according to the dictionary, are events that are unpredictable and unexpected. But you realize that if you put a teenager with a six-pack under his belt into 3,000 pounds of steel, run him down the highway at night, and he crashes into a viaduct, that's not an accident. That is something you can prevent."
Being responsible for the health of nearly twelve million residents requires Lumpkin to take the broadest view of public health possible. While a layperson's idea of public health may only include safe drinking water, fluoridation, immunizations, and clinics to help the indigent, IDPH has helped fund research projects conducted at UIC that look at public health concerns from new and innovative perspectives. These have included an analysis of health problems in the aftermath of the huge Midwest floods in 1993, the health repercussions for workers at a now-shuttered plant that manufactured PCBs, and a measure of the safety of Lake Michigan fish for people who catch and eat them frequently.
Lumpkin sees public health evolving away from the provision of direct primary health care services, a responsibility it began to assume in the 1960s, and back into a more traditional role that will actually serve more people. "We got involved in primary health care in a major way because of what the Institute of Medicine called our assurance function," Lumpkin says. "We provided services to people who couldn't get them anywhere else, but as time goes on other providers will find that population attractive because of changes in insurance coverage, and public health will transition. We do have a unique role, and that is to deliver population-based health services. That has been and will continue to be the foundation of what we do in public health."
As a state-level advocate for public health, Lumpkin has a key concern about funding its practice in a realistic way. "Public health is underfunded, yet we are expected to be there when a crisis occurs. One of these days, we're going to be confronted with a crisis or an epidemic, and we may not have the resources to deal with it."
Under Lumpkin, however, Illinois does have a public health planning process called the Illinois Project Local Assessment of Need, or IPLAN, which is unique in the fifty states. Through this process, the state has significantly strengthened its partnerships with local departments of public health. As part of this initiative, ninety-two local public health departments are now conducting community-based needs assessments every five years and have developed new coalitions within their communities that better address their particular health problems.
"Overall, my mission is to create conditions in which local health departments and local public health efforts can be successful," Lumpkin says. "That's really the point of action. If we can give them the framework, the resources, and the tools to do their programs, then the health of the people of the state will be improved."

The number of STM managerial staff with salaries of $ 100,000 or more has tripled since 2006.
According to data obtained through Access to Information by 24Heures newspaper, the number of senior executives went from 83 to 252 in 2013, an increase of 203% in only seven years.
Management of the STM admits that there has indeed recently been a significant increase in the number of senior employees and say in part it's because of the execution of many "major" projects including the purchase of the new AZUR cars and implementation of OPUS and iBus systems.

Modern Classics: Eero Saarinen's Tulip Chair
Eero Saarinen, as a complement to his tulip table. Saarinen originally intended for the chair to be made from a single piece of molded fiberglass, but since early prototypes of the fiberglass were prone to breaking, he had to settle for a cast aluminum base, coated with rislan to match the fiberglass upper shell. The chair is still produced by Knoll using this same method. (Saarinen's dream of manufacturing a chair from a single continuous piece of material wouldn't be realized until 1967, with Verner Panton's famous S chair.) Like any true classic, the tulip chair is enormously versatile, equally lovely with a traditional table (or desk) as it is with the tulip it was originally created for. A lookalike to the tulip even appeared on the set of the original Star Trek. These chairs are not the tulip, but the Burke 115, a similar design with a four-pronged propeller base, instead of the tulip's round one. TOP ROW: 1. Perfect with a traditional table in this interior from Vogue. 2. Space agey goodness. Love the easter egg palette and the Lindsey Adelman lamp, too. From Solid Frog. 3. As seen in Kelly's Retro Artist Loft. 4. The tulip demonstrates its versatility; pretty with a chinoiserie cabinet, from House and Home. 5. Airy and modern from Desire to Inspire. MIDDLE ROW: 6. Charming paired with a traditional desk in The Martinez Family's Modern Mountain Turkey Coop. 7 & 8. In a MCM-filled Barcelona apartment from Miss Design. 9. In a glamorous workspace from Lonny. 10. Lovely luxe modern from Interiors Digital. BOTTOM ROW: 11. In a breakfast nook from Lonny. 12. The tulip armchair in a quirky mix of classic chairs. Home of Marcus Hay, from Real Living Magazine via Oh Joy. 13. Love this mix of midcentury and traditional pieces from Sarah & Steve's Attic Aerie. 14. Black tulips with bright colors in this saturated interior from Interiors Digital. 15. In a colorful interior from Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz. (Images: as linked above)

Garmon continues search
Former McDowell football standout Greg Garmon is weighing several options as he searches for the right fit where he can resume his college career.
Garmon, who chose to transfer from Iowa after one semester at the Big Ten school, said Tuesday that he has had several contacts with Division I schools since asking for his release in December. Iowa associate athletic director Mark B. Abbott confirmed Monday that Garmon was released from his scholarship.
"I've talked with people all over, like UCLA, West Virginia, in Florida, and several of the MAC (Mid-American Conference) schools,'' Garmon said. "I'm hoping to come to a decision where it will be the right fit for me.''
The 6-foot 1-inch, 200-pound running back said that previous reports were true, that he didn't feel comfortable in a power offense, and that Iowa just was not the place for him to continue his career as a student-athlete.
"I'm not a power back but more of a scat-back type of runner who can catch the ball out of the backfield,'' Garmon said.
Garmon, 19, announced his decision last January that he would attend Iowa, where coach Kirk Ferenz recruited the likes of former NFL star safety Bob Sanders (Cathedral Prep) and current CFL defensive back Jovon Johnson (Mercyhurst Prep). Garmon passed on other schools who wanted to use him at another position, but Iowa wanted him as a running back, and, because of injuries and other reasons, played at the position as a true freshman in 2012 as the Hawkeyes went 4-8.
Garmon, who made his first career start against Penn State on Oct. 20, rushed for 122 yards on 38 carries this season, and caught eight passes for 57 yards with no touchdowns in 10 games. He missed one game early in the season after injuring an elbow.
Garmon rushed for 2,859 yards with 27 TDs in three seasons at McDowell.
Garmon will have to sit out one season if he goes to another Division I school.
"That's OK with me, because it would be like a redshirt year for me,'' he said. "I can spend time lifting, getting better as a player and learn a new system.''

Josh Beckett To Undergo Surgery On Ribs
Josh Beckett will undergo season-ending surgery this week to remove a rib and relieve pressure on a nerve that?s been causing hand numbness for several years.
It?s a potentially career-threatening injury for the 33-year-old right-hander and Beckett talked to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times about how much the hand numbness has impacted his performance (and life):
"I?d try to drive with my right hand and my right hand would go numb. I?d throw a bullpen, and I couldn?t feel my hand. Being ready for next year, and for spring training, without any limitations is probably the most realistic goal."

We are inviting contributions covering specific aspects to the volume
"Streitfall Evolution. Eine Kulturgeschichte"
(Debating Evolution. A Cultural History), to be published by Boehlau (Vienna, Cologne, Weimar). Some of the chapters are as yet unassigned.
The volume cover a wide range of perspectives and disciplines and their approaches to the public debate of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in the past 150 years, including history, history of science, theology, sociology, political sciences, philosophy art history, literary studies, media studies and history of law. Its seven sections with a total of some fifty chapters deal with various aspects and levels of the debate, its actors, arguments, strategies and media as they shaped the way evolution appeared in public discourse.
The individual chapters are written by experts in the respective fields and incorporating state-of-the art research. However, as the volume does not address an academic public but a general public, texts need to present more of an overview instead of single case studies analyzed in depth and from a particular point of view. Each chapter comprises roughly 45,000 to 50,000 characters (including footnotes, this is some 6,700 words in a German-language text) and about 6 to 8 illustrations that are part of the text's argument, thus more than mere illustrations. Manuscripts for the greater part of the chapters have already been submitted, by Peter Becker, Peter Bowler, Janet Browne, Nicholas Gilham, Mike Hawkins, Uwe Hossfeld, Thomas Junker, Nils Roll-Hansen, Nicolaas Rupke, Marianne Sommer, Heinrich Zankl to name but a few of the authors. However, the following chapters relevant to the volume are as yet unassigned:
"Missing Link": connecting piece and icon of the scientific and popular debates on evolution in the past 150 years
Presenting evolution in the zoo: a theory and its illustration using living specimen
Images of the scientist in today's public
Social darwinism and politics in the twentieth-century
Social darwinism as a phenomen in the twenty-first century
Experimenting with humans, breeding humans: Concepts and implementations in Nazi Germany
Ethical debates on genetic engineering today
Evolution/Darwinism in Fiction (emphasis on novels and short stories)
Darwin and evolution on radio and TV in the bicentenary (recordings of the material mainly of German and British broadcasts may be provided)
The future of the debate on evolution
Outlines sketching the contents of the individual chapters may be forwarded on request, though there is still room for discussion of their focus and orientation.
Deadline for the manuscripts is August 15, 2013.
Those interested are invited to forward a short cv and a list of relevant publications to the editor of the volume Prof. Dr. Angela Schwarz, History Department, University of Siegen, Germany: firstname.lastname@example.com

It's a Friday. It's August. You've hit the penguin at least three dozen times (our record is 1183); you've Simpsonized yourself and possibly an office-mate and now you are here, checking out the blog.
This is an extremely slow period for news related to SHU hoops, but here is an update on some stories we've been following.
- - Yesterday, Seton Hall released images of the hardwood that will comprise the new home of Seton Hall basketball. We're happy to see the giant Pirate logo at center court versus the interlocking "SH". Also, the Devils released pictures of the seats being installed at the Prudential Center. They're still the color of our archrivals, but creative lighting may neutralize that a bit.
- - Adam Zagoria has an outstanding blog post on the search to be the number two assistant on Bobby Gonzalez's staff. Some fan favorites remain on the list.
- - Finally, ESPN.com is reporting that the ban on text messaging as a recruiting method will remain in place. At least thirty schools protested the original decision to ban texts, which had previously been unlimited. From a Seton Hall perspective, Bobby Gonzalez had no objection to limiting the number of text messages that could be sent, but was opposed to an outright ban.

The Ideal Person According To Confucius
Patricia Blackwell
World Religious Traditions
The Ideal Person 2
Mortality was a very important subject for Confucius. His goal was to create those who carried themselves with good moral character, dignity, grace, and to be well-spoken. A description of the ideal person, according to Confucius, is one who possesses the knowledge to "live their life within the boundaries firmly established by Heaven" (Platostanford). Confucius believed that the ideal person came from living out the Five Great Relationships: ren, li, shu, xiao, and wen.
Ren signified compassion as believed in the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have unto you." Ren's translated in many ways: empathy, sympathy, kindness, thoughtfulness, human-heartedness, and considerate. A motto that describes the definition of ren is, "If you want to be kind, be polite" (Molley, p. 243, 2010).
Li means good manners and is putting ren into practice behaving in an appropriate manner when expressing ones inner thoughts or intensions. Li not only describes appropriate ways of acting but also the way one acts toward others. Outer expressions reflect ones inner nature, or ones intention toward a particular situation, and one who fails to use this appropriate behavior is more likely to be misunderstood or mistrusted (Sonoma).
Shu is an attitude toward others that a person wants to receive when caring about others. The Confucian version states this in negative terms: "Do not do unto others what you would not wish done to yourself" (Oolongiv, p. 1, 2007).

World Forestry Congress Discusses Message to Climate Change COP
21 October 2009: Many of the over 6,500 attendants at the XIII World Forestry Congress convened today in a forum on forests and climate change, which concluded with a call to comment on a draft message from the Congress participants to UNFCCC COP15.
As part of the Congress, which is being hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Government of Argentina in Buenos Aires, participants to the forum heard panel discussions on: land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF); climate change impacts on forests and people; financial and methodological challenges and opportunities from reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD); and REDD initiatives for early action. Concluding the forum, Jan Heino, Chair, Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), urged participants to review and comment on the draft message of the Congress to the UNFCCC COP15 in December, in order to send a strong message to climate negotiators, including the notion that forests are "more than carbon" and all their services and values must be considered holistically.

• TWo infants with congenital nonlymphoblastic leukemia were discovered to have mosaicism for trisomy 21. Both infants achieved durable spontaneous remissions. Trisomy was apparently restricted to the leukemic clone and could be detected in neither phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood cells or bone marrow in either patient nor in myeloid progenitor cells from the second patient after resolution of the transient myeloproliferative disorder. We conclude that spontaneous remission of congenital leukemia is not confined to infants with partial or complete systemic trisomy 21 but can occur in genetically normal new-borns whose leukemic cells contain a third chromosome 21.

Looks like all the big news in golf this week is off the course. First, there was Tiger Woods saying he's still in rehab mode with his surgically repaired back and has yet to take a full swing.
Now comes word from the other side of the big pond that Rory McIlroy has broken off his engagement from Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
The news broke in Virginia Water, England, as McIlroy, who has fallen to 10th in the world golf rankings, prepares to play in one of the European Tour's biggest events, the BMW PGA Championship, this week.
According to a report by the Associated Press, McIlroy appeared uncomfortable and subdued. That happens when you've already sent out the wedding announcements as the pair had.
McIlroy fell on the grenade in a statement about the breakup.
"The problem is mine,'' McIlroy said. "The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails. I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting."
But the British press wasn't letting McIlroy off that easy. They were relentless at a press event for the BMW PGA Championship.
"It is quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself, and the statement really said it all this morning," McIlroy said. "It was mutual, and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us. Time to move on, and I've said all that I need to say."
McIlroy, 25, and Wozniacki, 23, have been dating since 2011 and were engaged on New Year's Eve in Australia.
The American media may get a shot at him next week at Jack Nicklaus' tournament, the Memorial in Ohio. If not then, he'll definitely be competing at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina on June 12-15.
While he's severing ties, he may want to think about jettisoning the Nike golf equipment he started using last year. Hasn't been the same golfer since.

When it comes to sports, perhaps the most recognized position is the quarterback.
Nine times out of 10, the quarterback receives most of the attention for a football team, and when it comes time to decipher just who is among the elite and who is among the average, most NFL fans have a pretty fair idea of where to rank each guy.
However, as much as we all love to believe that Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady are the top dogs in the NFL, surely there are a few quarterbacks who are on the verge of changing their status.
So, without further ado, here's a look at 10 quarterbacks who are one step away from becoming elite quarterbacks in the league, and who may very well get there by the end of next season.

To expand a bit: In the DarpaBrowser exercise, many of the holes that Wagner & Tribble found, even in security-enforcing modules, were unexploitable because these modules had so little authority available for abuse. This is empirical evidence for the POLA -> working ship compartments analogy. However, they did find some holes they were able to drive a truck through, and did. I think the Waterken review was similar, but someone else will need to speak to this more definitively. The bug Eric Northup found in the KeyKOS kernel design was also essentially unexploitable, even though the KeyKOS kernel is not internally a capability system. IIRC, the undetected bugs Wagner & PIng inserted into PVote were availability bugs, not integrity bugs. Availabiity and confidentiality are so much harder than integrity that I have essentially written them off in my own work. Achieving robust integrity is already hard enough to eat several careers. It is both an easier target, and an adequate one for many applications. We also need to remember that we're enumerating a very small number of cases here. We should avoiding drawing too many conclusions from such a small sample size. -- Text by me above is hereby placed in the public domain Cheers, --MarkM

Construction of an unbroken dune is being blocked, at least for now, by beachfront homeowners who in many cases don't want to sacrifice their ocean vistas for a big wall of sand. The state expects those holdouts eventually will relent.
When it's done, the massive system of tall dunes and wide, sloping beaches will be expected to intercept a hurricane-size storm surge before it can reach the boardwalks and neighborhoods that line the Shore's barrier islands.
Q. What will the dune look like?
A. There are actually multiple levels of plans; it depends on where along the coast and to what level of protection they designed it to. Contrary to some opinions, they don't design dunes for a specific storm or storm intensity.
The plan for Long Beach Island and northern Ocean County is for a dune, the summit of which goes to 22 feet — that's elevation, not a height. The dune will be 15.25 feet higher than the beach in front of it.
The crest of the dune at 22 feet will be 25 feet wide — basically a two-lane highway at the top. The width of the beach varies from 100 to 200 feet wide, depending on the specific municipal location.
Then you get to the berm crest — the line where the flat beach ends and it begins to slope into the surf. That's another 150 feet or so that's in front of the existing slope.
That's what they did in three LBI towns, most recently Brant Beach in 2012. The results were quite illustrative of how well it worked during Hurricane Sandy.
Q. What does a dune that size do?
A. The project with the 22-foot elevation dune backing up the designed beach width is supposed to prevent the wave run-up from a 100-year storm.
If Sandy was a 100-year storm, then it did provide that protection in the towns where the dunes were already that size.
Q. That would have stopped Sandy's surge?
A. It would not have stopped the flooding from the tidal flow, but it would have kept the waves out. Ortley Beach would still be there. Mantoloking would not have had a breach. Holgate would still have its dunes.
One of the things that plagued the existing dunes was that the consistency of the elevations was far from a regulated standard — especially where pedestrians go back and forth. Most of those were at street level.
Basically, that was an open-door policy to wave inundation.
Q. So in the Army Corps of Engineers' plans, there would be no low places?
A. Correct. Even emergency vehicle access ramps go up to the 22-foot elevation.
Q. So it's all about big dunes.
A. The width of the beach is unequivocally as important as the dune. The dune without the beach in front of it is still pretty vulnerable. With a wide beach, the waves break on it early, 250 feet away from the dunes.
By the time the white water waves roll across it, it's a broken wave. They give up energy very quickly. By the time the wave gets to the dune, it's only a couple of feet high, as opposed to 10 feet high.
That's why the Mantoloking dunes failed — the beach was only 35 to 50 feet wide at the time of the storm.
Q. Would more of Mantoloking have survived if they had the high dunes plus the wide beach?
A. Absolutely. They knew it.
Q. So to save their views and privacy, quite a few lost their homes?
A. Yes. The view came to visit, so to speak.
They told me, "I can afford to rebuild my house." They had been told there would be Port-o-Potties, or boardwalks, and that they'd be busing people in from Camden or Philadelphia.
Gov. Christie summed it up beautifully: It is B.S. And it's always been B.S. People love their view, they love their house, they don't want the crowds you see in Asbury Park or Belmar in front of their homes. I have news: The crowds don't want to be there, either. Your beach is boring.
Q. Won't this dune system change the nature of the Shore?
A. No. Properly vegetated and maintained, it will look like it always does, only higher.
When they first finished the Brant Beach dune project, there were hundreds of people walking along this 22-foot-high highway, right along the top of the dune; and they loved it.
People thought it was awe-inspiring — you're 30 feet above the sea; it was awesome.
Q. Will it block views from the boardwalk?
A. The dune won't be built more than the height of a normal person standing on the boardwalk. A normal-sized person will be able to see over the dune in situations where a municipal boardwalk already exists.
Q. Will it be worth it?
A. A large dune system and a wider beach is worth it. Most of the money is in the wider beach; the dune is kind of a small expense, as an add-on. This method preserves the traditional Jersey Shore experience with a dune system, dry sand beach and a surf zone.

NLL Playoffs 2008 - New York Titans Join the Parity Party in the East
April 5th, 1997, the Buffalo Bandits defeated the New York Saints in front of 12,115 fans in the Marine Midland Arena in Buffalo, in the semi-final game of what would be the last season of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League. This was the last time that an NYC team appeared in the pro indoor post-season.
The 10th anniversary season of the National Lacrosse League unfolded quickly, once the threat of a non-season was averted. A resurgent Philadelphia Wings squad, and the arrivistes Minnesota Swarm, sprinted off to 6 - 0 starts; the Buffalo Bandits battled a plague of injuries, while an increasingly rudderless Toronto Rock saw their head coach suspended after the opening game, to sit for four more. The reigning champion Rochester Knighthawks got off to a shaky start from which they never recovered, and would ultimately miss the post-season, and the Chicago Shamrox took a slightly different route than last winter to a second consecutive 6 - 10 finish.
The New York Titans, looking to improve on a last-place 4 - 12 performance in 2007, started 2008 at an inauspicious 1 - 4, but finished at 10 - 6 and in third place in the East, closing the regular season with a 4 - 0 flourish, and after eleven winters, a team from the Big Apple will compete again for a pro indoor lacrosse title.
I spoke at some length this week with Titans Head Coach Mueller, about how the Titans have achieved this level of competitiveness and respectability is such a relatively short time. He was quick to credit his coaching staff and scouting network with identifying and finding the players who have "bought into the system" (not making too much at all of the fact that he is the designer of that system). He was equally quick, though I did not raise it with him, to dispute the conclusion of several of my NLL journalistic "colleagues" that he set out to assemble an 'American' roster. Let's look at that line-up.
From their very first NLL game, the Titans have been able to score. Last season they finished comfortably in the top half of the League with 195 goals, and they finished this season with 197, tied for fourth with Rochester, behind Philadelphia, Buffalo and Minnesota. More tellingly, the New York power-play lead the NLL with 60 goals. They got 19 of those from Mike McLellan, who had his best pro season, in fact his best box lacrosse season including Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) Junior A and Major Series, with 34 goals, good for seventh spot tied with Buffalo's Mark Steenhuis. Mueller credits current Colorado Mammoth Head Coach Bob McMahon with originally recommending McLellan. Veterans Casey Powell, with 32 goals, and Pat Maddalena with 85 points, also had career-best NLL seasons.
First-round draft choice Jordan Hall contributed 24 goals, and veteran free agent Jamie Hanford (a Connecticut resident whose Manhattan job and recent engagement made the cross-country commute to Denver less and less attractive) is still the all-time best at the face-off X. Third-year pro Matt Vinc was solid in goal, earning nine of the Titans' wins with a respectable .770 save percentage, and Coach Mueller credits veteran back-up Erik Miller with helping Vinc with his preparation. The Titans' "D" has improved with the addition of former Rock Patrick Merrill.
As to Adam Mueller's help with game planning and preparation, Assistant Coach Blane Harrison deserves some special mention. He is a former MILL Detroit Turbo team-mate, and a fellow Michigan State alumnus who also coached Mueller there. He won a couple of Mann Cups playing for Canadian Hall of Fame coach Pete Vipond's Brooklin (Ontario) Redmen in the '80's, so he's got the box lacrosse chops. And he now resides in New Jersey, where Mueller's business is based.
The Titans have to travel one more time to the Twin Cities, where they lost twice this winter to Coach Duane "Dewey" Jacobs (another former Detroit Turbo) and his Swarm. Minnesota was also Mueller's second head-coaching gig, after starting out behind the bench in Philadelphia with the unenviable task of succeeding Tony Resch. 'Minny' weathered a mid-season slump after their torrid 6 - 0 start, and only lost twice at home. With young gun Andy Secore back from injury, as well as trade-deadline acquisition Dan Marohl, the offence is pretty much back at full strength. The Swarm are coming off a reverse home-and-home split with Chicago, compared to the Titans' 4 - 0 finish.
The Buffalo Bandits finished atop the NLL East, and will face the Philadelphia Wings for the third time in 2008, after a 15 - 14 loss in Philly in January, and a 21 - 12 reversal in Buffalo on March 1st. The only thing is that Athan Ianucci got 4 goals in both those games, enroute to his new NLL single-season record 71. Transition and draw-man extraordinaire Geoff Snider broke Rock Captain Jim Veltman's season record for loosies in Scoop's career-closing game. Buffalo tender Mike Thompson took the one-goal loss to the Wings, and got chased by five straight game-opening goals before giving way to Ken Montour in the re-match. "Monster" just might get this start. Buffalo finished 3 - 1 with just a meaningless loss (at least as far as the standings were concerned) in Rochester, while the Wings finished 2 - 2 with losses to the Swarm and the Titans.
With the way the Titans are playing right now, the game in Minneapolis could easily go to OT, in which case the advantage will be to Hanford and New York. Buffalo's seven home wins compare favorably with Philadelphia's 3 - 5 road performance, and the Bandits are the hotter team: advantage Bandits.
Changing of the Guard in the West
Parity may not have been quite so rampant in the NLL West, where the top two, not four, teams had to go to tie-breakers to decide seedings, but for the first time since the Albany Attack franchise was re-located four seasons ago, the San Jose Stealth have lived up to expectations (mine at least), finishing atop the 'expansion' division. Johnny Mouradian's boys have finally made good on their individual and collective promise.
Mouradian built championship teams, in tandem with his good friend, the late Les Bartley, in Buffalo and Toronto, but certainly not overnight. He is also responsible for bringing to pro indoor lacrosse such top talent as Colin Doyle, the NLL's first Rookie of the Year, goalie Anthony Cosmo, and All-World scorer Jeff Zywicki, not to mention coach / mentor and living legend Bobby Allan.
Earning the top seed for the 2008 play-offs gets the Stealth an opening-round home date with the Brodie Merrill and the Portland Lumberjax, themselves in the process of re-living the early promise of their 11 - 5 Division-winning debut in 2006. After a sophomore-jinx 4 - 12, last-place finish in '07, the 'Jax, sporting their totally distinctive plaid-work-shirt jerseys around the League, earned the last Western play-off slot with a less-than-stellar 6 - 10 season, but should be encouraged by two out of three wins over the Stealth in the second half of their schedule.
In the other quarter-final, the Colorado Mammoth, who have battled their own peculiar brand of inconsistency again this winter, will host a Calgary Roughnecks side beset by that most confounding of athletic injuries, concussion syndrome, to their key players, tender Steve "Chugger" Dietrich and Captain Tracy Kelusky. Kelusky missed rourhly the middle third of the season, bit returned to the line-up for a March 8 15 - 12 home win over Portland. Chugger started the season 1 - 2, but would only return to the floor for a Game 14 win over Edmonton. General Manager Kurt Silcott acquired veteran Pat Campbell to shore up the goal-tending, then made a deadline blockbuster deal that brought Josh Sanderson West just days after Kelusky went back for another, shorter, stay on the Injured Reserved List. It cost the Roughnecks the goal-scoring services of Lewis Ratcliff, but Sanderson made an immediate impact, with 6 goals and 8 assists in the final four games (Ratcliff didn't miss a beat either, contributing 13 goals and 15 assists in Toronto and finishing tied with John Grant Jr. and Gavin Prout for second place in the League individual points race, but the Rock still missed the play-offs).
The San Jose Stealth were my pre-season pick to win the West, and I'm sticking with them over the Lumberjax. I have always been a Tracy Kelusky fan, and I'm going with him and the Roughnecks over the Mammoth, but it will be a close one, likely in front of the biggest crowd so far this season.

Saturday night I was invited to Chicago with a girlfriend. She was taking her daughter and several friends to Chicago for an evening of shopping and dinner for her daughter's birthday celebration.
~ The Sweet Beautiful Good Girls ~
The girls wanted to take the train downtown but because our dinner reservations were so late, it was best we drove. My friend, who I call Thelma, drove. And Thelma isn't a very good driver. (According to my 10 and 2 Grandma driving style standards) But I thought with me being in the front seat to navigate, I could yell at Thelma for speeding, riding tail, and checking out the cute guy in the next car over. Even though I just told Thelma to check out the cute guy in the next car over.
So the girls weren't very happy from the start. You know your typical 17 year old girls …
Ugh Why can't we just take the train. Ugh Downtown with my Mom and her friend. Ugh. And we have to drive with them. Ugh We are not shopping with them. Ugh. Turn the radio station, please. Ugh It's hot in here. Ugh Turn left Mother Ugh We wanted to go to State Street not Michigan Avenue Ugh
I'd forgotten how hard it is to please 17 year old responsible girls acting like Mothers who are on a shopping and sushi mission. And because of this, Thelma and I were now the giggling teenagers in our downtown road trip relationship.
Once we reached State Street, the girls wanted to jump out at a stop light.
I was secretly thinking …
OH HELL YES! Bye bye.
And so I blurted out go. GO!!!! Hurry!!! MOVE IT!! MOVE IT!! HURRY GIRLS!!!
Have fun
Be good
Shop til you drop
Bye bye
I need a cocktail.
And probably cigarette.
And another yummy cocktail.
And a wad of gum so they don't smell it on me.
Those chicks are brutal.
Holy Mother Teresa and her Nun friends.
Those chicks are bossy.
I was waiting for one of them to reach over the seat and pull my hair like a Mother from the 1970's.
But we're FREE, Thelma.
And if Mother Teresa and the NF'ers call to check on us, don't answer your phone.
And so Thelma and I pranced around Chicago taking selfies. I mean pictures of each other …
Because that's what young hot chicks do when on the loose prancing around Chicago without their bossy 17 year old chaperones.
This is my … We are FREE from Mother Teresa and the NF'ers pose …
And this is Thelma's … I was a cheerleader and homecoming queen and I am rocking these heels prancing around Chicago and Louise eats donuts and I don't and I use to have better boobs but Louise does now and look at my hair blowing perfectly in the breeze pose …
She didn't say any of that but that's what I was thinking when I was taking her picture. Because I wasn't a cheerleader. I played volleyball. And I eat donuts.
I'll have to remember not to take such great photos of Thelma next time.
I'm sorry I chopped your head off Thelma.
Anyway …
Thelma and I pranced around all over State Street with no desire to shop. But only for a desire for some bubbly. And just as soon as we were enjoying sipping our half glass of wine and posing on hotel/restaurant lobby chairs and couches for my Instagram, it was time to meet the girls again.
We better hurry Thelma! We're gonna get yelled at.
Down it sister!
Thankfully we made it to the meeting point before Mother T and friends.
I was feeling like a teenager who was about to get caught smoking.
Oh $#it Thelma here they come. Hide the smokes.
When the girls arrived, I suggested we walk to the restaurant. It wasn't a far walk, according to my Google map. So off Thelma and I pranced trailing behind Mother T and friends because they were in charge again. After a few blocks I thought I better make sure I entered the correct address to the restaurant on my Google map.
And that's when I grabbed Thelma in a panic whispering …
OH HELL THELMA! OH MY GAWDDDD! My Google map tagged a parking garage not the restaurant. O.M.G. Don't tell Mother Teresa. I'll get yelled at. Just keep calm, stop laughing, don't talk, keep walking, I'll handle this. I'll tell them it's just a couple (10 UGH I'm in trouble) blocks away.
And then they had to ask …
Are we almost there? It's cold. And our feet hurt.
Yep. It's just right up here. (8 blocks away – oh please help me) Isn't it beautiful down here. I'm so glad we didn't drive. You girls wouldn't be able to experience the fun of Chicago in a car. Look at all the fun people. And fun hang out spots. And the beautiful lights. I love Chicago!
I'm now in panic mode …
Just a couple (6 – please help me) blocks away girls! Thanks for inviting me. Really sweet of you all. This is fun isn't it?!?! I'm having fun. We should do this more often. YOLO, girls!
I love Chicago.
And I'd be loving another Chicago cocktail right about now. UGH
Girls rolling their eyes.
And then I had to go and blame Google maps …
This darn map. It never works right. It should be right up here. I'm sorry girls.
And that's when one of the NF'ers said …
FINALLY!!! It's right here.
Oh thank you sweet little baby Jesus.
I was never so happy to see a sushi restaurant in my life.
And I strongly dislike fish smelling sushi.
~ The Girls ~
~ And the beautiful birthday girl enjoying our walk ~
Have a great day all … and coming up tomorrow ~ Gagging on Sushi Fish Eggs
P.S. ~ Thank you again girls for inviting me! Chicago is such a fun place to be!

If her height has interfered with her jump rhythm, it might have cost her her self-confidence--only temporarily, I hope. If she has the chance to rebalance herself with her new body, she will improve, I'm sure.
If her height has interfered with her jump rhythm, it might have cost her her self-confidence--only temporarily, I hope. If she has the chance to rebalance herself with her new body, she will improve, I'm sure.
Agnes has been tall for awhile now so her height shouldn't be the problem. She's almost 20 now so she's been done with growing for a couple years now. Her inconsistency isn't because she's not used to being tall.
Disappointed for her with the Short Program at Cup of China. Get it together girl!!
Mentally, she's not a good competitor. There are a lot of skaters who have amazing skills (jumps, spins, etc.) and yet never reach their potential b/c they can't handle the pressure.
Agnes kills me, and the USFSA as regards her kills me too.
Yes, she has potential, yes. Yes, she's a decent preformer and has monster jumps when she manages to land them (never in competition! hint hint USFSA- NEVER IN COMPETITION!).
However, she can't get it together. She's had countless chances over 3 or 4 seasons now. She has NEVER skated anything remotely resembling a clean LP in international (or, actually, national) competition. And I don't mean oh, one fall or one mistake in a LP- she has never skated anything remotely resembling a clean LP. 106 remains her highest international FS score if I'm not mistaken. That is a BAD score. It currently represents her MAXIMUM potential. It is utterly bizarre that the USFSA keeps giving her such inflated scores on home soil when pretty much every other American ladies skater who is considered a contender by USFSA- and some who are not seemingly considered contenders- have both the potential and in fact the near certainty of outscoring her internationally.
It is time for her to be dumped by the fed, as so many better skaters have been dumped before her. I know I sound a little crazy, but this has all just gone on for too long. I'm not suggesting she should never be allowed to compete again, or that, if she ever gets it together, she should not be rewarded. If she ever gets it together, wonderful. But until then, she doesn't deserve to be treated as a contender for the 3rd Oly spot, especially if she skates flawed programs at Nationals, which she will (only to get ridiculously inflated score that she would never be able to replicate at the Olys or anywhere). I'm sorry but this is the truth.
I can't help but think that one reason for her seemingly bulletproof backing by the USFS all this time has been that Colorado Springs is her training location, so she's right there and maybe has a bit of politicking going on, year round.
Can she be stripped of her next GP event? Can they give her spot to someone else?
Her chances are near 0.
What Tulosai said. When you always bomb in competition, while representing a country where the level is generally very high, you have no place being sent to international competitions, I am sorry.
To be fair to USFS though, Zawadzki's GP assigments are based on her previous results/world ranking. She was selected by the ISU and not USFS.
Of course if USFS would give their up-and-coming skaters a chance to 'enter the system' selecting them as host picks instead of Flatt last year and Zhang this year, then they could take over from skaters like Zawadzki. Oh well.
Again I know I'm being very blunt here but I am not meaning to bash anyone and am not an Agnes hater, I am just honestly calling it like I see it. If Agnes can improve and turn things around, I will be happy for her, just as I would for Nagasu (if slightly less totally off the wall giddy).
As another issue, Agnes does not get high PCS internationally and never has, quite separate from her inability to land jumps. Does USFSA think she is going to miraculously start getting them? This whole love affair between them is bizarre to say the least.

How many times have you lost your tiny Apple TV remote? It's countless, I know. At least now we have something to do about it. Chicago-based Tinsel & Timber has come up with one of the most elegant looking Apple TV holders we've ever seen.
Old Man Winter just won't let up around this here crib zone so if the chill wind has got you down too, then here's this week's Apple TV Pix Picks to warm up your winter weekend blues.
If you turn on your Apple TV right now, you'll see that the above icon has been squeezed into your home-screen. Yeah that's right, Red Bull TV is now showing over Apple TV.
Till a couple of days back, finding Apple TV's product page on Apple.com was a bit difficult thanks to its mysterious location in the Accessories section for iPods. Generally I used to resort on Google to find it rather than taking the pain in browsing through the website. However, that shouldn't be a problem from now on, as Apple TV has been promoted to occupy one of the tabs besides Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad at the Apple online store. In addition, Apple TV now has its own pages for accessories, community and refurbishes.
Yesterday Apple released their 2013 Q4 numbers and spoiler alert – they sold a lot of stuff. Specifically, they sold a lot of iPhones, iPads, iPods, Macs, and iTunes content, providing specific sales numbers for each of these categories. What wasn't detailed is how many Apple TV's were sold.
Before you start rolling your eyes down this page, let me ask "Do you watch WWE matches?". If you're answer is 'no', there is no sensible reason to go beyond this point. On the other hand, if you like to watch men bashing heads on the ring and breaking necks with chairs, you can join our celebrations, because WWE shows are reported to be scheduled for an entry into the Apple TV.

Bring a little color to the party with candy lollipops. The classic pinwheel-swirl design is dizzying with delightful flavors. Whether you choose to go for one color that fits the theme of your celebration or for each hue of the rainbow, these beautiful treats can work double time as festive decorations. Put the classic rainbow swirl and twist swirl lollipops on display for a colorful centerpiece. Place the sticks in a lollipop stand display to create a vibrant design, or simply put them in a vase for a hassle-free decoration that looks as sweet as can be.
Buy bulk lollipops and make the beautiful hard candy an integral part of your party. Display them for a sweet treat throughout the party, stuff the piñata with a variety of flavors and fill party favor bags with the sugary confections. Pick from a number of shapes and prints to fit the occasion, including spooky monsters and pretty-in-pink sweet-sixteen designs. Get your creative juices flowing and have fun finding new ways to incorporate lollipops into your party. You can even tie a lollipop to the string of a rainbow birthday foil balloon for a fun favor that is youthful and unique.

Unfortunately Franklin thought that she was a senior post-doctoral fellow and completely independent. Wilkins assumed that she would freely interact with him, as did most other people in the lab. The seeds of conflict were sown, which caused a great deal of angst. In retrospect I should have realized this and tried to prevent this conflict.
Early in 1951, Wilkins met James Watson at a conference where he had presented our work. Watson asked Wilkins if he could join the group at King's but was rebuffed. Consequently, he went to Bragg's unit at Cambridge. There he met Francis Crick who knew all about our work, as he was a close friend of Wilkins.
Franklin joined the DNA group in early 1951. Her first directive to me was to make up a series of saturated salt solutions that would give a constant humidity to the hydrogen we bubbled through to displace the air in our camera. So we were then able to take the same specimen through stages of water content from dry (disorientated pattern) to 92% humidity and to do this with a single fiber.
This painstaking experimentation I later realized was the hallmark of her science. She was able to show that NaDNA could exist in two stable forms, which we named A and B. We realized that all the published fiber diagrams up to now had been mixtures of these two forms. That I had produced a pure form of A with Maurice's multifiber specimens was serendipitous.
A result of just the right rate of flow of dry hydrogen through water was to give a steady 75% humidity. My only concern at that time was not to blow myself up by filling the lab with hydrogen and getting a spark from 50,000 volts on the rather old x-ray tube.
As to the structure, it was obvious from the B pattern—the best we ever got was Photo 51—that at high humidity and therefore presumably in vivo, the molecule was helical. From Stoke's theoretical math we found that the diameter was 20Å and the repeat distance was 34 Å containing 10 nucleotides per turn of the helix with a slope of 40°.
However, Franklin was more excited by the crystallized gene structure shown in "A." Her view was that although "B" was helical it did not necessarily follow that "A" was.
Franklin and I convinced ourselves that we had so much direct structural information in the intensity and position of the diffracted beams, nearly a 100, that we should calculate a Patterson Function from the data. This would show helical or asymmetric chains without the need to build models.
At this time we were summoned to Cambridge to see a proposed structural model that Watson and Crick had built. This showed the Na/P ionic atoms forming a central core and the sugar rings coming out to the bases on the outside. Franklin demolished this suggestion with gusto! Mainly because we knew the Na/P complex must be on the outside of the structure because the water went in and out so easily. As Crick remarked later, it was the only time he had seen Watson at a loss for words!
With hindsight it is easy to see that the structure they had built was so rigid that it must be wrong. It is know that there are 3 billion base pairs in the human genome. At 34Å thick, this would mean a length of 102 cm, thus requiring great flexibility to allow folding of the structure to fit into the cell nucleus.
So we returned to Kings and started with renewed vigor on our intensity measurements, correction factors, and Patterson function calculations. For us, model building was out. Bragg forbade Watson and Crick from any further model building. The DNA problem, it was agreed, belonged to Kings!
However some months later, on learning that Pauling was actively thinking of DNA structure, Bragg lifted his ban on model building, and Watson and Crick began building models again, this time using our data as to helical radius 10Å, and to the number of nucleotides along the fiber axis per repeat interval, 10 in 34Å, and the space group of structure A, Monoclinic C2. This permitted Crick to rightly postulate two chains per lattice point related by a diad axis, i.e., one going up and one going down.
When they added to this data, the specific pairing of the bases all fell into place. We were summoned once more to Cambridge. This time we were convinced. It was so elegant, it must be right. On our return to London Franklin and I examined our Patterson data and everywhere we looked we could see indications of a double helix.
I think it is very sad that Franklin was never able to see the exponential mushrooming of molecular biology resulting from her work. I would love to have heard her opinion of the current controversy on the cloning of stem cells.
The laws of the physical universe will always apply, and it is only our interpretation and use of the data that may be wrong. However, when experimenting with living material, even the protocol of the experiment may be questioned.
I believe Franklin would have advocated a global approach to the regulation of such work. We are now facing direct manipulation of the evolution of our species and the creation of new transgenic life forms. A problem probably more important than global warming.

Talk about magic!
Poppy Montgomery announced Friday on LIVE! with Kelly and Michael that she and Shawn Sanford were recently married in a Disneyland ceremony – their children joining them and with Minnie and Mickey Mouse presiding.
The Australian-born Montgomery, 41, and Sanford, a Microsoft executive, have been together since 2011 and wed on the Chinese New Year, Feb. 19, she shared.
Her mom, Montgomery told hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, was not amused at her choice of a wedding locale, even as the Unforgettable actress praised it for the margarita she enjoyed after the surprise nuptials were finished.
"My mother was horrified. She was like, 'How do you turn Disneyland into Vegas? You don't run away to Disneyland and get married!'"
The children, she added, were more dazzled by the theme park's tiny character rodents than the big moment, Montgomery said.
"They're very small. Like, really small. And I thought there were children in there, or little people, I didn't know," she said of the park's famed mice. "And my children were so in awe of Mickey and Minnie that they didn't really pay any attention to the wedding. And then my stepdaughter said, 'Why is Minnie dressed better than you?' Because I wore jeans and Minnie was in a sort-of bridal gown."
There will likely be more Disney trips in the growing family's future. The couple's daughter, Violet Grace, was born last April.
The star is also mom to 6-year-old Jackson Phillip, her son from a previous relationship.
Montgomery, who formerly starred as Samantha Spade on Without a Trace, has blogged for PEOPLE about her most recent pregnancy and her life as a working actress, producer and committed mother.

The arrest affidavit of Deer Creek Middle School shooting suspect Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood indicates he was placed on a mental-health hold by Littleton police in 2002.
The affidavit, released March 12, also says Eastwood told investigators he heard voices emanating from a Nielson television-ratings box in his apartment and described hearing voices since then, including on Feb. 23, the day of the shooting.
The sight of a Grandview player carrying the ball across midfield was significant March 9.
Why? It was first time the Columbine Rebels had allowed it to happen, and their game was nine minutes old. And the Rebels were already up 8-0.
"I was happy with our first game," coach Alise Steiner said after the Rebels tranquilized, tagged and released the Wolves to the tune of a 17-3 victory. "We ran hard; we went after groundballs; mostly made good passes."
The owner of a South Jeffco medical-marijuana dispensary is appealing a county-issued zoning violation that would force the business to close its doors if upheld.
Marc Giuliani, owner of Footprints Health & Wellness, is scheduled to appear before the county board of adjustment March 17 at 10:30 a.m.
Jefferson County residents will gather March 16 for precinct caucuses, gatherings that provide party members a voice before the election and offer an early taste of the upcoming primaries.
Voters will gather at party-specific locations in their respective precincts and nominate delegates to different assemblies.
"Lately I buy new guitars,
They're shiny as a hearse.
I still like the look of road wear,
But the roles have been reversed."
— From "Guitar Shopping" by David Wilcox
The Pennsylvania winters of my youth seem less cold and more forgiving across time, but the sports we played after school on those dark, damp afternoons still inhabit a vital and vivid place in memory.
LAKEWOOD — Back and forth games are always tougher to lose than a blowout. Such was the case for the Columbine Rebels boys lacrosse team who fell to 1-2 on the new season as they dropped one to the Rock Canyon Jaguars 9-7 on March 12 at Trailblazer Stadium.
The game was a see-saw battle throughout, but Rock Canyon was just a little bit better in the second half as they outscored Columbine 7-4 in the final two quarters to take home the win.
This week marks the halfway point of the Colorado General Assembly's 120-day 2010 session. The state's fiscal woes have dominated the session to this point. The legislature has adopted a package of bills that raised revenues by eliminating a variety of tax exemptions as well as approving a 32-bill package that reduced spending by state agencies for the current fiscal year that ends June 30.
At 37 and 43, Frank Harney and Sean Fey are not exactly senior citizens. But the pair of dedicated extreme-sports enthusiasts decided they were too old for their favorite pastime of racing sport motorcycles at breakneck speeds. So they traded their crotch rockets for two-wheelers powered by their own legs, and their newfound passion led them to open South Jeffco's newest bike shop.
Adrenalin Cycles, a small boutique catering to the needs of discerning, spandex-clad riders and elite triathletes, opened its doors Feb.
Fourteen-year-old Matt Thieu, the Deer Creek Middle School student critically injured in last week's shootings, is recovering at home and showing remarkably good spirits. Thieu was discharged from The Children's Hospital in Aurora late in the day on March 1.
"It's getting tiring in here," Thieu said Friday from his room at the hospital in an exclusive interview with the Courier.
Another wild weekend at Mr. Biggs has resulted in a temporary halt to the entertainment facility's liquor sales. Meanwhile, the future of the business remains murky in the wake of a liquor-licensing board hearing that left nearly everyone involved scratching their heads.
A Feb. 27 incident at the business prompted another appearance of owner Art Cormier before the county liquor-licensing board.
