Sanity Zone 1-19-2013 Positive RightsThis blog is explicitly not about the morality of guns. It is strictly about the costs to society and the individual of gun ownership in a well ordered society.
The general postulation is that weapons have no productive value (the use of weapons does not create products or services that improve the human condition) in a well ordered society. The use of weapons either produces no value because they are not being used, or negative value, because they destroy or kill. One could argue that the inputs used to create guns do not add to the productive capacity of a nation, as they do not produce a product that increases wealth.
The costs associated with their use are the issue. Who should bear the burden?
Sample Statistics from the CDC:
Murders 11,078
Suicides 19,392
Injuries/property damage **unknown because NRA successfully lobbied Congress to prohibit the CDC from studying or collecting data on injuries from firearms**
What are the arguments again for not requiring insurance to own a gun?

Sanity Zone 1-19-2013 Positive RightsXan, allow me to put this in plain english.
You may use the word externalities as many times as you please, but the fact of the matter is that guns are not meant for murder. They are meant for hunting, target practice and most of all, defense. The fact that some use guns for violence is strictly a matter of it being the primary available weapon, and the fault lies with the perpetrator, not the gun.
Genghis Khan, one of, if not the MOST brutal leader in history, ruthlessly conquered northeast Asia and built the largest empire known to man at the time, and it sustained well after his death. How did he do all this? He and his army had not guns, not bombs, not tanks, but simple things like swords and clubs. Those were the weapons of the time and Khan was able to slaughter all those people because he was smart, for one, but mostly because he had an insatiable thirst for power through bloodshed.
That, my friend, is pure evil. And it is that sort of evil that makes any weapon dangerous.
Why do I say this? Because it illustrates how mankind adapts. Today, guns are the primary weapons. Every day, guns are used to COMBAT violence, just as much if not more than they are used to commit violence.
Still think guns are bad? Okay. Let's ban them. Then what? Criminals start breaking into homes, knowing the people are unarmed. But let me just play along and assume that the government could actually get rid of EVERY single gun in America... Then criminals would just find another way. They always have, and we've always had to adapt.
So in the case of a car, it doesn't matter how many more or less possibilities (or externalities, as you would say) there are for something bad to happen. If a person wants to run you over, he can. Or it could be a drunk driver. Again, blame the person.
As for your opinion on the costs of owning a car vs. owning a gun: It takes an absolutely evil person to commit murder. It only takes a moment of distraction to cause a massive accident and kill several people, in a car. On average, there are 6 million accidents per year, with 3 million resulting in injuries, and in excess of 40,000 deaths annually.
Here is the link to those statistics: Car Accident Statistics -- Lawcore.com
It is an enormous responsibility, as you are surrounded by cars at almost all times. It's not a joyride, and should not be treated that way. Insurance is necessary because if you get into a significant wreck, you MUST have help paying for the damages. So you have to pay a fee for that... I'd rather a monthly fee of a couple hundred, give or take, per month than to have to pay out of pocket for thousands of dollars in damage. Not that paying bills is ever fun, but in the case of insurance I understand the necessity of it. If you're a safe driver, your rates won't be too high.
Guns should be taken equally as seriously in terms of how you use them, without a doubt. But guns don't carry all that risk. They can be deadly, but they are not that hard to use. You almost HAVE to intentionally shoot someone, as accidents are very rare. Yes murders happen, aswell as accidents, and it is tragic. But you cannot predict how a person will act. You get a background check, you get your fingerprints taken, and you have to demonstrate the ability to properly use the gun. That is the law, and I believe it is perfectly just. Why should anyone pay insurance on a gun? If you shoot someone you go to prison... think about that.

Sanity Zone 1-19-2013 Positive RightsI don't want to distract from the intent of the thread, so I'll point out a bit of the obvious. Modern man uses tools to improve his economic condition. Some tools have no externalities, like levers, while others, like nuclear bombs have many.
Externalities arise as a consequence of the intended use. In the case of cars, the intended use is transportation; the externalities of operating a car include pollution, collision and death. A gun's intended purpose is killing, or practicing hitting a target. Externalities of a gun would be killing an innocent person; to be extremely clear, modern law and morality do not allow many instances for an individual to make a unilateral determination of guilt.
Guns represent a huge challenge to a well ordered society as is intended use is generally illegal except for designated hunting and target practice. For many instances of gun ownership, use entirely produces negative externalities.
In this way, one cannot make the transitive argument of operating a car, or many other tools whose intended purpose and utility are generally unrelated to the negative externalities produced, to a tool whose intended use is to produce negative externalities.

Sanity Zone 1-19-2013 Positive RightsActually, Kev, getting a gun license is an extremely rigorous process.
Food for thought: Why is it that when somebody drinks and drives, and ends up killing people, nobody blames the car? Well obviously that's because the car wasn't operating itself. So why then do people blame guns when someone uses one to kill? There are a number of ways to commit murder. We should be more concerned about people than guns. And that is why you go through background checks before you can own a gun.

The key words are moral values.
A continuing problem and an increasing problem, worldwide, is the "I want, can have without effort" and "I am entitled so gimme" attitudes. Soon we are going to have a generation that doesn't want to work for anything and then get militant when their "entitlement" does not fall in their lap.

Posted 12-22-2012 at 05:34 AM by xan
Sanity Zone 12-16-2012 Moral HazardYour idea of a successful economic system is to have mass mediocrity. That's what socialism is. I believe if you want more money, go earn it. I've never been above the poverty line, yet I don't ask the government to steal from the rich as if they've done something immoral by earning their wealth. Raising taxes on the wealthy just ensures that more workers will be laid off to compensate. The rich already pay about 70 percent of the taxes. What more do you want?
At some point the wealthy will inevitably fall back into the middle class, and that's where people lose jobs. If the wealthy are paying 70 percent, then what does that tell you? It means a lot of people have no jobs. Even if the rich paid the same total amount of tax dollars as they do now, their percentage of total taxes paid wouldn't be nearly so high if there were more tax payers.
I don't have a problem with financial aid, in and of itself. I have needed it myself, but what I have received is only to help cover my family's basic needs when money is tight. However, when I, or any of us are working we may still need foodstamps if we're not making enough, but at least we're doing our part to pump whatever money we can afford back into the economy. In other words, we don't need MORE stuff being given to us, we need jobs, we need opportunity for advancement so that we don't have to rely on the government. It's simple. If people are not MAKING money then they are not able to pay taxes and give back.
But instead, you have big brother promising to "take care" of the poor, not by creating jobs, but by giving them more and more money to do nothing. It has created an attitude of entitlement and too many people are just sitting back, taking advantage.
This creates two major problems: The demands continue to rise on the wealthy to subsidize the irresponsible, and secondly, those of us who are below the poverty line but want to work, or maybe get a raise, have a hard time getting either of the two because employers who would otherwise help us are cutting back instead.
And before you say that these businesses can afford these taxes, but they just don't want to fork over the money, you might want to read this. Caldeira: How Do You Hurt Franchises? Raise Tax Rates : Roll Call Opinion
Many of those who are referred to as "rich" are in fact not even close to being rich. Franchise businesses may have a big name, but each branch of them is run by small business owners. A fact that is pointed out in the article, is that the top 2-3 percent include 941,000 small businesses. This effects all of us. As I've stated, I'm not rich, and I know from experience that sometimes financial aid is needed. But I don't want to rely on it, and I don't want anyone else thinking they are owed it. If we have more job opportunities and more people motivated to work we will have a much more efficient economy.
Simply raising taxes on the top 2 or 3 percent, and giving handouts is not stimulating anything, nor is it motivating those who are taking advantage of the system to at least try to work. As for Social Security, that is not a handout. It is a reward. If you don't earn enough credits over the span of your working years, you don't get anything. So nothing is being wasted there. If money is taken out of social security to pay for Obamacare, then it won't matter what age you are, or how much you worked. Your reward will be nothing, because SC will be bankrupt.
Xan believes we should simply do a better job of saving toward our retirement. But there's one problem with that. Those who need SC aren't making enough money to afford saving much of it. Seniors deserve to be taken care of when they've paid their dues but can no longer work. Xan's plan is to just say to hell with the seniors because they are sucking money out of our pockets. First off, that is essentially euthanasia. But they are not sucking money from anyone. They have earned those credits.

I had a mastopexy with breast implants 6 months ago and now the skin has loosened. Do I Need Another Breast Lift?
Doctor Answers 8
Not unusual to reoperative to provide further tightening after breast lift
Yes, the moderate-plus profile gives a little more projection. But the main issue is probably the tightness of your mastopexy. I wonder what type you had because some (the periareolar technique) do not adequately tighten the lower poles where the excess skin is located. Even the best techniques (vertical) can show some signs of loosening with time. I have revised my own vertical breast lifts on many occasions to provide more tightening. The good news is that this involves no new scars and the recovery tends to be easy. The vertical lift facilitates this (examples attached). The inverted-T produces a long horizontal scar and the breast shape does not tend to be as conical, which is why many of us no longer use this approach.
Web reference: http://www.swansoncenter.com/content/ideal-breast/procedures/breast-lift/patient-photographs.asp
Breast Augmentation/Breast Lifting Revision Needed?
Even though you are 6 months of surgery, and may be in your best interest to wait even longer before putting yourself through more surgery. Assuming you are working with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon he/she will be in the best position to guide you based on your physical examination at that time and after a thorough discussion of your goals. In my practice, I prefer the use of "goal pictures" for this communication. Depending on your goals, adjustment of breast implant size/model and/or further skin excision may be indicated.
Best wishes.

Improvement in Breast Shape after Surgery
Hi there-
I would first echo my colleagues- it would be very difficult to answer your questions without a formal exam...
In general, however, it is sometimes the case that women who have stretch marks on their breasts (which, of course indicate that the skin is of poor quality and has little remaining elasticity) end up less than completely pleased with the results of breast surgery, even if the immediate results were quite pleasing to them.
In these cases, this deterioration in the appearance is entirely due to the poor quality of the remaining breast skin- and has little to do with an ongoing excess quantity of skin.
It is possible that further skin tightening through revision of your breast lift and/or placement of a different implant may help to camouflage this problem, but the fundamental problem remains- the skin quality is poor.
In my practice, we have had some success in restoring lost skin quality in cases like this through a very regimented and specific laser treatment protocol which we are hoping to publish soon.
Ask your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon if they may offer a similar option.
Web reference: http://www.DrArmandoSoto.com
You might also like...
Redo mastopexy
A mastopexy is performed to remove excess skin, lift the nipple and areola and remodel the gland. If there is not alot of breast tissue, then an implant may be necessary. As for a redo, it would be difficult to tell without examining you. Stretch marks will not go away with a lift unless they are within the pattern of skin excision.
Another breast lift or larger implants
Any kind of breast surgery using implants will typically initially result in the implants being a little high. As the recovery process continues the implants settle down into a better position. The tightness of the initial mastopexy result also softens. In most cases (and I can't speak to your case specifically) stretch marks are improved but do not go away. There really is no way to keep the very tight appearance of the early result as this is due to swelling that eventually resolves.
I don't recommend putting in a larger implant unless you want larger breasts. The shape of the implant can influence the appearance so if you want more upper pole fullness you might want to use higher profile implants (such as moderate plus if you have moderate now). Allergan moderate profile implants have a higher profile than the moderate plus from mentor for the same volume so you might want to consider those as well. However, if you feel the breasts are still a bit too loose or sagging, placing a higher profile implant (or even a larger one) will not stave off the need for a revision of the mastopexy. If you have excess skin it will need to be removed and tightened for the best result.
I hope this info helps!
Another breast lift
No photos very hard to answer. First I recommend HIGH PROFILE implants. Second get another in person opinion. This should help you understand the issues better.
From MIAMI DR. B
Breast lift and implants
This is the real issue with breast lifts and breast augmentation: the implants want to weigh your skin down while the lift is meant to bring them up. Everyone has some skin stretch, and it's impossible to predict exactly how much any given patient will have after surgery. I would suggest waiting until you are a year out from surgery, and then reassessing everything with your surgeon. The problem is that another lift may leave you back where you started, whether you change your implants or not, so you'll eventually have to decide if that risk is worth it to you. Best wishes and good luck, /nsn.

- 2560 x 1440 (2K) 6ms

This review is from: Perfect pixel "Matte" 27" MONEX M27QSM 2560x1440 QHD SAMSUNG PLS Panel Computer Monitor
Beautiful Big Display! Super HD resolution! 2560x1440 Beautiful Pixels! Double your 1080p! Plug and Play perfect with WIN 8.1 Unreal price! Half the price of most other Ultra High Def monitors. That's why I got this one. It's got a fast 6 ms response for great gaming. I was getting 45fps at full resolution in Unigine Heaven GPU benchmark using two HD7850s to power the display with a score of 1400. The score is down some from my smaller monitor because this one has an extra million or so pixels to move around. This monitor earns its title as 'Pixel Perfect' since I couldn't find any dead pixels. Samsung makes the PLS panel which is a competitor of the IPS panel also used in large displays. It's a form of LCD type panel with LED back lighting which makes the display very bright and brilliant. The stand is adequate which you can tilt. The large screen will giggle a little if you touch it but its not a touch screen so it doesn't need an extra heavy base. The monitor comes in Matte and Bright finish on the screen. I got the Matte finish which is great and reduces glare.
This monitor is value priced so it doesn't include all the goodies like on screen display for controls, and only has one type of input which is DVI capable of multiple monitor setup. It does have brightness controls and an on off button. It's ok with me because WIN 8.1 or the game you're in usually takes over all the monitor controls anyway. No built in speakers or USB. It does everything I need so no eggs off. Just hope it lasts a long time. The company sells an upgraded version of this model with more features if you want to pay more.
Other Thoughts:
The ad said shipped from overseas 10-15 days shipping. Well almost all electronics are shipped from overseas, but I was really surprised when this showed up 3 days after the order. Thanks Newegg! Also, this monitor is primarily made for distribution in South Korea since all the instructions are in Korean. No problem. How much does it take to plug in a few cords.

The fight between Roger Huerta and Kenny Florian. Weird, huh? That was the third most-hyped fight at the event, and it does not make it onto the broadcast over stuff like Maia/Mcdonald and McFedries/Massenzio, the latter of which was actually from Ultimate Fight Night 15!
[N]othing pisses [Dana White] off more than when his fighters talk about money in public. And if you recall, shortly before UFC 87, Roger Huerta was interviewed by Fight! magazine, complaining quite a bit about the UFCs compensation policies and his contract. Plus, if we look back at the original UFC 87 broadcast, Rogers post-fight interview wasnt broadcast. And now, the match between Roger and Kenny doesnt even make it onto the replay? True, the fight wasnt exactly the barn burner it was expected to be, but come on! Kenny and Roger are big names for the UFC.
So we can stick the proverbial fork in Roger Huerta, because hes done. He is about to get the Andrei Arlovski treatment. Expect Rogers next fight to be on the undercard of an Ultimate Fight Night against a wrestler that will hold him down and make him look bad for three rounds.

"The key to protecting your cat is prevention because there is no cure for this disease," said Sharon Grace, DVM, clinical professor at Mississippi State University (MSU) College of Veterinary Medicine. "Owners need to apply a topical product that will kill ticks that carry the pathogen."
Even indoor cats need tick control because the American dog tick, the carrier of the disease which picks up the pathogen from an infected bobcat, can unknowingly be brought into the house by a human or a dog, she said.
The product must contain fipronil for tick control to be effective, Dr. Grace said.
Dogs cannot contract the disease and neither can humans. Also, infected cats cannot give the disease to other cats.
"This terrible disease is difficult to diagnose and treat, fatal in most cats, and hard to observe in a patient dying of it," she said. "The goal is to identify the disease early enough so that the veterinarian can humanely euthanize the cat to prevent further suffering."
Symptoms, which can be confused with other diseases such as mycoplasma, toxoplasmosis and feline infectious peritonitis, include becoming depressed and listless, and refusing to eat and drink. Cats can look jaundiced and have a paleness around their gums, nose and eye tissue. An extreme fever as high as 108 degrees is the most observable sign, according to MSU.
Cytauxzoonosis, which was first discovered in Missouri and eastern Oklahoma in about 1973, is being reported more often and is moving boundaries.
The seasonal movement of bobcats and ticks has distributed the disease through much of the south and the eastern seaboard of the United States. There is evidence the disease is also moving north, Grace said.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions and more research is needed to get a better understanding of the disease, Grace said.
Angela Bentonville, AR
We just found out today that our sweet Patches has the disease. I have cried so hard, and I keep praying she will make it through. She is the most precious Calico Persian Kitty ever and she loves the outdoors. I know we have bobcats and a mountain lion in the area. I had never heard of this disease until today and I am so in shock.:( I know now what must have taken our other sweetie Tink back in November 2013. I have faith in our vet, and I know she is doing all she can for Patches. I can't loose her. She has been with us for 6 years now, and she is so loved. I am so sorry for all the losses I have read about on here. And I pray your hearts heal soon. God Bless. Keep us in your prayers. I also pray for a vaccine. This is nuts. They have a vaccine for everything else, why not this.? Right.? In hopes for a cure.
Paulette Billings, MO
We lost our beloved cat, Buster, to this horrible disease less than a week ago. April 29th he received his annual vaccinations and I had bloodwork done as a baseline. All his results were perfectly within normal range. May 28 was the last day he acted like himself. The following day, he became very lethargic. I thought he felt a little warm, but it was late and I didn't want to take him to the only emergency clinic in Springfield, MO. (my first bad judgement call) He slept on my chest all night and I monitored how he was doing. He seemed better in the morning, and decided to call his regular vet to get him in for a temp check. The receptionist said she would tell his Dr. and get back to me. After two hours, I called again, but could only get a busy signal, so I went over to the office. She was JUST THEN telling the vet, and by now, they were TOO BOOKED to see him, so the Dr prescribed flagyl based on the symptoms I gave her - possible temperature, lethargic, possible blood in stool and not wanting to eat or drink. I kept questing whether he should have his temp taken to see if he was running a fever. The receptionist said, "you can bring him in his carrier and leave him and we will TRY to get to him". I asked how long it would take for the medication to show improvement and the receptionist said about 48 hours - that would be taking me into the weekend when they are not open. I decided not to struggle to put him in a carrier and just leave him there hoping he would be seen. (my 2nd bad judgement call). That night, after midnight Friday, we took him to the Springfield Veterinary Emergency Clinic. He was diagnosed with the disease and the Dr on duty went into great detail to explain his chances were very slim, but we felt we owed it to him to give him a chance - he loved life too much. They started the same treatment as mentioned here, and it looked promising as each day went by that he survived. The story is longer than this, but the end of the tale is that we had to allow him to cross over in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Not even one week. This cat survived outdoors for nearly 8 years before we found him and took him in. He could not be imprisoned inside the house for more than the night to sleep and on really bad snowy or rainy days. He lived to be outdoors, hunting and visiting all the places familiar to him. Eight years of bad weather, not knowing where his next meal would come from, living where coyotes lived and cars traveling at high speeds along the country roads - all to be taken down by one tick bite - and while he had his topical treatment. I just pray they will find a cure or vaccine for this dreaded disease. The problem here is that the cats are not altered and the people are too poor to even get veterinary care, so who knows how many are dying out there within a few miles of me from this horrible, horrible disease. It just sickens me.
Diana Oklahoma City, OK
Our beloved cat died today from this deadly fever. We are heartbroken. He only lasted three days, during which we sought medical help and tried herbal remedies. On the second day, we took him to OSU Vet Hospital where they administered the anti malarial drug, antibiotics, fluids, and oxygen, but he went into cardiac arrest this morning. This is the second cat we have lost in four years. My children are devastated. I pray they can develop a vaccine, which is the only way I can in good conscience have another cat. We have bobcats in the neighborhood and I'm afraid our cats live on borrowed time. But they are LOVED while they're with us and missed terribly when we lose them. God bless to all the grieving families.

We just lost our little Sheldon due to this horrible 'fever'.. We had no idea that this even existed, but I am now he||bent to tell ALL my cat owner friends about this and educate them to the best of my ability.

Congo: New Year, New Ops, Same Questions, Same Fears
Georgianne Nienaber: The notoriously failed Kimia II operation in eastern Congo has ended today, December 31.

Non-Violent Responses Must Be Considered to Prevent Aggression
Ominously, the Pentagon has spent over a trillion dollars in recent years on the refinement of deadlier killing instruments and the militarization of space from which it can control the planet with even greater authority than from its 1,000 foreign bases.
Congo Violence: Déjà Vu All Over Again?
A force of armed combatants massacred at least 152 Congolese civilians and wounded another 106 at Gatumba refugee camp. The victims were largely Banyamulenge, a group often categorized with Tutsi.

Pascal Rips Bute: A Romanian Who Came Here To Profit!
By Edward Chaykovsky
Former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal is back in the hunt for fellow Canadian star Lucian Bute. Both boxers suffered big defeats in the last two years and both of them recently returned to the ring to secure wins. Pascal appears to be heading to rematch with WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson in March, and Bute is pushing to have a rematch with Carl Froch around the same time period.
Pascal (27-2-1, 16 KO) wants the Canadian boxing fans to apply the pressure on Bute (31-1, 24 KO) to make their fight happen in 2013. The fight has been discussed for several years but never comes close to happening. It would be a mega-match between the two most popular boxers in the country.
"The fans should put pressure on Bute, since he and (his promoter) InterBox owe it to them," Pascal told QMI Agency this week. "He's a Romanian who came to Quebec to make money and he did it because of Quebeckers. It's the least he can do to give them that. It would be an historic event."
Pascal , you are Haitian, idiot !!!!!!!!!!!! At least Romania is in Europe, has similar things like Quebec. Oh, and gorgeous girls.Comment by Weltschmerz on 12-19-2012
Does this Pascal nut know where Romania, let alone Europe is situated on the ****ing world map? Maybe he should shut his gums, Haiti is poor like Romania is. No wonder people from such countries move abroad to make a…Comment by MrFynest on 12-19-2012

Says the Haitian. It's a good thing that Pascal isn't a white because then everyone who be calling him racist. Instead everyone justifies him and acts like they get his point. It's nice to see that the racial double standard…Comment by Alx. on 12-19-2012

The TSA's 'managed inclusion' is over, but we're not done asking questions
Remember the early days of Precheck, when the TSA would let random passengers skip the long line and enjoy a more civil screening?
Well, I have some bad news: Those days are over. The TSA is quietly phasing out its program of managed inclusion.
TSA PreCheck: Love it, or leave it?
The TSA announced today that its PreCheck program has reached a new milestone: an enrollment of more than 1.5 million travelers.
But is the news something to cheer or something to jeer?
What's wrong with the TSA?
If airport security is so good, why do passengers feel so bad?
That's a valid question, considering how the Transportation Security Administration seems to be spinning its performance lately. The agency wants you to believe the dark days of body scans and pat-downs, of liquids, gels and shoes obediently placed on the conveyor belt, are well on their way out, thanks to its vaunted new Pre-check system. And remember, there have been no successful terrorist attacks since the agency's creation, it would hasten to add.
So why aren't we buying it? Why are lawmakers such as Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., threatening to introduce legislation that would force TSA agents to mind their manners?

When your credit card gets compromised at a hotel
A day after Sheilah Reardon checked into the Bellagio Las Vegas, she received an e-mail alert from American Express warning that her credit card had been compromised. Among the fraudulent charges: a $67 bill from an online memorabilia store.
A day later, her friend Jennifer Henderson got a call from a MasterCard representative. Her card number had also been stolen. The thieves had made a $67 charge at the same online store moments after they hit Reardon's account.
"We had checked into the Bellagio at the same time, side by side," says Reardon. She and Henderson believe that their credit cards were targeted while they were at the resort — most likely while they were checking in — because it was the only time when their cards were used together. Reardon says that she hadn't used her card, a "travel-only" Amex, since a trip to Florida last summer.

Is my 15-year-old son a terrorist?
It's every parent's worst nightmare. You arrive at the airport to fly home from your family vacation, and something goes wrong — terribly wrong — at the TSA screening area.
It happened to Susan Bruce recently when she flew from Phoenix to Dallas with her husband, teenage son and daughter.
"When we got to security, my son went first in line through the X-ray machine and TSA flagged him for the hand swab test," she remembers. "While the rest of the family was stuck on the other side of the X-ray machine, my son was pulled aside for supposedly having a positive result for explosives."
Bruce, who lives in Dallas and is a mathematician by training and a homemaker, is certain it was a misunderstanding. Her son is no terrorist, she says. He's a clean-cut honor student.

The five kinds of people you meet at an airport screening area
Next time you fly, take a minute to look around at the airport screening area. You'll see all kinds of interesting passengers, from the "get-alongs" to the dissidents to the folks who think the rules don't apply to them.
Just last week at the crowded Orlando airport, I had a front-row ticket to a confrontation between a young woman and a TSA screener.
Young woman: "I don't want to be X-rayed."
Screener: "We don't use X-rays."
Young woman: "I don't want to be scanned, either."
Screener: "Then you'll get a pat-down."

Airport security can be better — and here's how
A silent majority sounds off about airport security
Intrusive airport searches are just fine with a majority of air travelers. They also think the TSA has singlehandedly prevented a 9/11 repeat, and that critics of the agency's current practices are nothing more than "anxious advocates."
At least that's the impression you might be left with if you read a recent editorial in the Chicago Tribune and other surprisingly favorable mentions in the mainstream media. Even amid the sequestration slowdowns, we're big fans of the TSA.
Connect the dots, and the conclusion is inescapable: There's a silent majority of Americans who really do believe the TSA is the "gold standard" in aviation security, as the TSA's John Pistole recently proclaimed. We're safer today because of the TSA, and out in flyover country we feel nothing but gratitude toward America's airport sentries, who are the last line of defense against terrorism.

Can I tell you a secret about airport security?
If you think the American government keeps too many secrets, you should meet Jose Lacson.
Lacson lost his job as a federal air marshal in 2011 after allegedly disclosing "unauthorized" information to the public. The TSA says he published what it calls "sensitive security information" (SSI) in a website forum.
But here's the interesting thing: In an appeal to his dismissal, Lacson claims the posts were fictional. The information referenced the number, deployment, and attrition rate of federal air marshals hired at various times and deployed at various duty stations, according to a report.
I repeat: Lacson says he made it all up.

The TSA wants to be everywhere in 2013 — here's why we shouldn't let it
When the Minnesota Vikings faced off against the Green Bay Packers last weekend in Minneapolis, the big story wasn't that the Vikings defeated the Pack to secure a wildcard berth.
It was, strangely, the TSA.
That's right, the agency assigned to protect America's transportation systems was patrolling the Metrodome. Nathan Hansen, a North St. Paul, Minn., attorney, snapped a few photos of the agents before the game, and broadcast them on Twitter.
"I don't think any federal law enforcement agency needs anything to do with a football game," he told me yesterday.

Hi All,
It's been a while but I wanted to check in and let you know that Krudler wrote me this week with news that Roger Sisson aka Patrick O'Shannahan is back online using his Khristian Knight identity.
This time he's pretending to be 33 years old and a doctor to try and lure unsuspecting women on the dating site Confirio.
But like always he's using The Picture of him. Same fake military uniform, same fake medals.
What I found especially revealing about this profile is how he sets up an excuse to deny any requests for more pictures:
"and even though I seem to be extremely extraverted in superlous levels, ways etc..i also be very shy personally and hate having me photo taken"
He wants people on the dating site to think that he won't send pictures because he's "shy" …and not for other reasons like *ahem* actualy being double the age he's claiming to be. Oh and the whole lying about almost everything in his profile thing.
Sadly the women in his 'favorites' section probably will have no clue that he's a violent sex offender and a convicted felon.
As usual he's portraying himself as a gentle man of God who wouldn't hurt a fly, when in reality he's shown himself to be quite the opposite. Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing!

This technology is based on sampling
considerations for a band-limited function,

estimation generally, and to phase

with the observation that the Fourier
transform of an optical aperture function

minimal aliasing for Q values down to Q

the ratio of the sampling frequency to
the band-limited cut-off frequency. The
analytical results are given using a 1-d
aperture function, and with the electric
field defined by the band-limited sinc(x)
function. Perfect reconstruction of the
Fourier transform (electric field) is
derived using the Whittaker-Shannon
sampling theorem for 1

Tori Amos
Myra Ellen Amos
) was one of several female singer/songwriters who combined the stark, lyrical attack of alternative rock with a distinctly '70s musical approach, creating music that fell between the orchestrated meditations of
Kate Bush
and the stripped-down poetics of
Joni Mitchell
. In addition, she revived the singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s while re-establishing the piano as a rock & roll instrument. With her 1992 album
Little Earthquakes
built a dedicated following that expanded with her second album,
Under the Pink
, before giving way to a decade-spanning legacy.
The daughter of a Methodist preacher,
was born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland. She began singing and playing piano in the church choir at the age of four, and songwriting followed shortly afterward.
proved to be a quick learner, and her instrumental prowess earned her a scholarship to the preparatory school at Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory. While studying at Peabody, she became infatuated with rock & roll, particularly the music of
Led Zeppelin
. She lost her scholarship at the age of 11 -- quite possibly due to her interest in popular music -- but continued writing songs nevertheless, eventually moving to Los Angeles in her late teens to become a pop singer. Atlantic Records signed her in 1987, and
recorded an uninspired pop-metal album called
Y Kant Tori Read
the following year. The record was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press and selling very few copies; nevertheless, she didn't lose her record contract. By 1990,
had adopted a new approach, singing spare, haunting, semi-confessional piano ballads that were arranged like
Kate Bush
but had the melodies and lyrical approach of
Joni Mitchell
. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she played a series of concerts in support of an EP,
Me and a Gun
The harrowing "Me and a Gun" was an autobiographical song, telling the tale of
' own experience with rape. It gained positive reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the supporting concerts sold well.
Little Earthquakes
' first album as a singer/songwriter, was released in 1992 and fared well in both the U.S. and the U.K. The same year, she released the
EP, which featured cover songs like
's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and
Led Zeppelin
's "Thank You." Delivered in early 1994,
Under the Pink
, the proper follow-up to
Little Earthquakes
, was an even bigger hit, selling over a million copies and launching the minor hit singles "God" and "Cornflake Girl." Two years later,
delivered her third album,
Boys for Pele
, her most ambitious and difficult record to date. The album debuted at number two and quickly went platinum.
spent much of 1997 dealing with personal matters, including a miscarriage and a marriage. She also worked on her fourth album,
From the Choirgirl Hotel
, which was released in the spring of 1998. The two-disc
To Venus and Back
followed in 1999 to coincide with a tour with
Alanis Morissette
. In 2001,
returned with the covers album
Strange Little Girls
, which also marked her last release for Atlantic.
The next year, she found a new label home with Epic and followed with
Scarlet's Walk
in October. Her eighth studio album, an autobiographical record titled
The Beekeeper
, was released in 2005. The massive five-disc
collection arrived in 2006, boasting a cornucopia of album cuts, B-sides, unedited and alternate versions, demos, and seven previously unissued tracks, followed by the typically eclectic and hard-rocking
American Doll Posse
in 2007, an all-new collection of songs that found the artist assuming five archetypal personalities, all of whom were based on feminine gods in Greek and Roman mythology.
As she toured in support of the album,
released live digital recordings of each concert as part of the
Legs and Boots
concert series, which grew to encompass 27 albums. Although each release was made available,
also released a "best-of"
Legs and Boots
compilation in March 2009, having created its track list from various recordings during the tour. Meanwhile, she also focused on new material that had been written during the tour, which she soon compiled into her tenth studio album. Entitled
Abnormally Attracted to Sin
, the album was released in May 2009 by Universal Republic,
' new record label. A holiday album,
Midwinter Graces
, followed closely behind, appearing before the end of 2009 and garnering warm reviews.
In the summer of 2011,
began touring in advance of her next album, the classically based song cycle Night of Hunters. A conceptual work based on familiar motifs by composers Satie, Chopin, Schubert, and Bach,
' recording centered on a couple torn apart by life's difficulties and monotonies, and the female protagonist's journey to find wholeness within herself.
collaborated on the recording with the string quartet Apollon Musagete, arranger John Philip Shenale, and clarinetist Ernst Ottensamer. Night of Hunters was released by the classical label Deutsche Grammophon in September of 2011; it peaked at 24 on the Billboard 200.
' next move was to re-record some of her songs, newly arranged by John Philip Shenale with the Metropole Orchestra. The resulting set, called Gold Dust, appeared almost exactly a year after Night of Hunters; it debuted at 63 on the Billboard 200. In 2013, after several years in gestation, the musical
The Light Princess
, based on the fairy tale by Scottish seminal fantasy writer George MacDonald and with music and lyrics by
, premiered at the National Theatre in London to wild critical acclaim and was nominated for best musical in the prestigious Evening Standard Theatre Awards. The following year,
announced her return to pop with her 14th studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines. Heavily inspired by her love of fine art, the album appeared in early May 2014. A year later, the official cast recording of The Light Princess was released.

Here is the amino acid sequence of part of a hypothetical gene you want to clone:
a. What sequence of five amino acids would give a 14-mer probe with the least degeneracy for probing a library to find your gene of interest? Notice that you do not use the last base in the fifth codon because of its degeneracy.
b. How many different 14-mers would you have to make in order to be sure that your probe matches the corresponding sequence in your cloned gene perfectly?
c. If you started your probe one amino acid to the left of the one you chose in (a), how many different 14-mers would you have to make? Use the genetic code to determine degeneracy.

It's not unusual for young people to find themselves in high school, and Midland Valley graduate Jarrod Bridges readily acknowledged it at a commencement on Friday.
"I started out as a slacker," said Bridges, now an honor student. "Then, as a junior, I realized how I needed to step my game up to do what I really wanted to do in life, which is computer programming."
Three other high schools – Silver Bluff, Wagener-Salley and Ridge Spring-Monetta – held their graduation programs at the USC Aiken Convocation Center on Friday.
Other local high schools – Aiken High, South Aiken and North Augusta – held their ceremonies on Thursday.
Kaitlynn Haney, the Midland Valley valedictorian, described all the school's accomplishments and the students' support for the sports successes this year.
She encouraged her classmates to express their appreciation for their families, teachers and friends. Graduation is the first step to the rest of their lives, and the students should continue to move forward, Haney said.
The Midland Valley salutatorian, Kali Coleman, said students in the 2014 graduation class will go in different directions. Yet, when they look in their yearbook 20 years from now, "Your friendships will still seem important to you ... but don't let high school be the best years of your life."
The Silver Bluff High School valedictorian, James Jacks, noted how the graduates come from different communities, but "Here, we are united." There is a sense of family, as in "one big Blue machine," he said. "We have bright futures, and the challenge is aim high."
Carlos Sequeira joined his classmates at Silver Bluff's graduation, and that in itself is big news. Five months ago he was critically injured in a car accident, sending him through the windshield. He suffered a head injury and a shattered shoulder.
"My dad fainted when he thought he had lost his son, but I feel good now," Sequeira said. "God has given me a second chance."
He has been homebound since the accident. Sequeira has studied culinary arts with teacher Susan Few for four years. Since he returned home from the hospital, she has formally visited him there nearly every day to help keep him up with his schoolwork.
"He's a wonderful young man and has made a remarkable recovery. I call him a walking miracle," Few said.
At Wagener-Salley's graduation, valedictorian Anthony Wiles cited the students' hard work and success.
"This is the beginning of the rest of our lives," he said. "Take the first step in the future. Follow a path of life and don't let anything get in your way."
All the students must be responsible for their actions and follow through to reach their future, said Ryan Brown, the salutatorian. He serves as the president of the school's National Technical Honor Society through building construction. Brown plans to major in architecture at Clemson University.
At Ridge Spring-Monetta's ceremony, good friends Shalonda Johnson and Shila Johnson joined other students with some informal dance steps before they lined up.
"We're a small school, just like a family," Shila said.
"Our class has always gotten along," Shalonda said. "We do almost everything together."
Students from larger schools can't know all their classmates. Those at Ridge Spring-Monetta can walk through the halls and know everybody, even the freshmen, Shila said.
"Unfortunately," Shalonda said with mischievous grin.
The honor graduates for Ridge Spring-Monetta were valedictorian Alyson Cromer and salutatorian BaChondria Raiford. In her remarks, Raiford spoke movingly about her challenges; she has a disabled right arm.
"To everyone who has helped me get to where I am right now, thank you," she said. "Without the help of others, it would have been much harder for me to make it to this moment."
Raiford also urged her classmates to stay positive and not be afraid of failing.
"It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all," she said.

|Pierre McGuire on M&M: Brad Marchand 'running out of race track pretty fast'
|11.21.13 at 2:22 pm ET
NBC Sports hockey analyst Pierre McGuire joined Mut & Merloni on Thursday afternoon to discuss the Bruins' upcoming game against the Blues, the recent struggles of Brad Marchand, as well as other news from across the NHL.
Boston have been rolling as of late, winning six out of its last seven games. Despite the dominant run in November, some members of the Bruins have been slumping, namely Marchand. The 25-year-old winger has yet to really find his bearings so far this year, as he has seen a dip in his production (eight points in 21 games) while increasing his turnovers and penalties. Bruins coach Claude Julien's frustration with Marchand has become apparent over the last few days, as Marchand was demoted to the fourth line during Monday night's 4-1 win over Carolina.
"[Marchand's] just going through tough times right now as a player on the ice and he's not helping himself at all," McGuire said. "He is running out of race track pretty fast in terms of some of his decision-making."
The Bruins will have a tough task in their next game, as they will face off against the Blues, who hold the third seed in the Western Conference with a 14-3-3 record. St. Louis, off to its best 20-game start in franchise history, has gotten a big boost from Alexander Steen, who leads the NHL with 17 goals.
"[St. Louis] learned a lot from their first-round loss to Los Angeles last year, where it was just a battle of attrition," McGuire said. It was just unbelievably savage the entire series and obviously Steen is off to a great start. It's the depth of their team. … they remind me so much of the Boston Bruins. They really do.The teams are so similar. … This is a great game you guys are going to have tonight. Unbelievable game."
Elsewhere in the NHL, a former Bruin's play is starting to attract attention, as Panthers goaltender Tim Thomas has been viewed as a possible candidate to the U.S. Olympic team. Thomas has bounced back from a poor start to post solid numbers over the last month (2.49 goals-against average, .915 save percentage in November).
"He's definitely worked his way back into the discussion, I can tell you that right now," McGuire said. "He's back into the discussion, that doesn't mean that he's going to make the team. One of the reasons why he's back in the discussion, the injury to Jonathan Quick, who won't be back until December, maybe even not until the middle of December. The other thing is Craig Anderson and Jimmy Howard have both been lukewarm … and Cory Schneider is sitting on the bench in New Jersey behind Martin Brodeur."

|Patrice Bergeron's line too quiet for Bruins
|11.06.13 at 7:05 pm ET
Loui Eriksson is back. Now how about some goals?
No, not just from Eriksson, but from Patrice Bergeron's line as a whole. Regardless of who else has been on Bergeron's line — and there have been three different configurations so far this season — it hasn't been scoring.
In the last seven games, Bergeron's line, whether Reilly Smith-Bergeron-Eriksson, Smith-Bergeron-Brad Marchand or Marchand-Bergeron-Eriksson, has scored a grand total of one goal. Bergeron is one of the best players in the league (arguably the best player on the Bruins), but top-six lines need to produce, and his hasn't.
Bergeron's third-period goal last Wednesday is the second line's only goal since the Bruins' 5-0 win over the Lightning on Oct. 19. It's safe to say that Lightning game was the most complete game the B's have played this season, and a lot of that is due to the fact that Bergeron's line simply hasn't been going.
Consider that Bergeron himself has been a minus player in two of the last three games and three times this season after having a negative rating in just five games total last season. Goals are being scored against the Bergeron line, but just as worrisome is the fact that it hasn't been producing.
Sure, there are some reasons as to why. Bergeron's coming off a few injuries, there's turnover with Eriksson coming aboard, there have been moving parts on the wings and Marchand is in the midst of what will likely go down as one of the worst slumps (12 games without a goal) of his career. That's no excuse for a line centered by Bergeron to be anything less than very good.
'There have been a lot of changes, but the bottom line is that you have to find ways to do your job,' Bergeron said. 'It seems now that hopefully it's going to stay [the same] and we can do some great things.'
Indeed, it does. Tuesday's game marked the first of this season that the Bruins used the lines they had put in place in the final week of the preseason to be their lineup. Yet injuries to Carl Soderberg and Eriksson messed with that, and on Tuesday the Bruins played their fifth game of the season with the Marchand-Bergeron-Eriksson line. It was the first time the trio had played together since the second period of the fourth game of the season.
While the results were underwhelming with a no-show on the scoring sheet, the line actually did play well, with the trio moving the puck well and creating chances in Eriksson's first game back from a concussion.
Encouraging is good, but it doesn't put points on the table. Marchand, who spent four games and a period on the third line after a demotion against the Blue Jackets last month, has just one goal through 14 games this season. Last season he'd already scored nine times through 14 contests.
Between Marchand's struggles and Eriksson's absence, Claude Julien doesn't sound too surprised by the lack of offensive output.
'You've got a guy that just came back from a concussion, and you've got another guy that hasn't played extremely well,' Julien said. 'There's a mixture there that doesn't really [suggest] success, does it? I think it's just a matter of getting those guys going.'
Tuesday was definitely a step in the right direction, but the B's need their second line's fortune to change if the team wants to have the success of years past. Remember, all three members of the line (Bergeron, Tyler Seguin and Marchand) found themselves top five in the league in plus/minus two seasons ago. Those kind of numbers don't come without putting the puck in the net.
'I'm trying to play my game and do everything right, but production is part of my game also, and I need to find that,' Bergeron said. 'With that being said, it's about bearing down when we do have some chances.'
|Brad Marchand talks Mike Napoli shirtless celebration, early season struggles
|11.04.13 at 1:17 pm ET
Mike Napoli spent this weekend celebrating the Red Sox' World Series victory in a shirtless, drunken fashion.
Brad Marchand would know a thing about that. He celebrated the same way when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011, and he said seeing the pictures of Napoli brought back memories.
"Yeah, I did," Marchand said when asked if he saw how Napoli had celebrated. "I did it first, though."
That was the lightest moment in a conversation that centered mostly on Marchand's underwhelming start to the season.
Playing between the second and third lines, Marchand has just one goal and three assists with a minus-3 rating through 13 games, hasn't been his usual aggressive self and has been a turnover machine. He certainly spoke Monday like a player whose confidence has taken a hit.
"I thought I trained as hard this summer as I did any summer," Marchand said. "I came in and things aren't going right. It's definitely frustrating when you can't pinpoint exactly what's going wrong. It just seems like everything's going wrong right now.
"I think it's more about effort right now and working hard. Normally when you do that and you work harder than you ever have, it will come together."
When asked about Marchand's game, Claude Julien was rather blunt.
"He's not playing the way he should," the coach said. "There's nothing coming out of his game right now. '¦ He's really struggling to find his game, and sometimes you've just got to work your way through it.
"Brad is a good skater, and I don't think he's skating as well as he can. He's obviously much better with the puck at managing it, and he hasn't been great at that either. I think a lot of that is a result of frustration and putting a lot of pressure on himself. It's not making it any easier."
Asked if Marchand's struggles have gotten to the point where a healthy scratch could be in order, a la Milan Lucic last season, Julien laughed and was noncommittal.
"That's something I'll address when the time comes," Julien said., adding: "I go day by day, and if I feel it's necessary, trust me, I'll do it."
|Claude Julien says Brad Marchand's skating, work ethic need to improve
|10.28.13 at 8:58 pm ET
Claude Julien was rather honest when asked what Brad Marchand needs to do to snap out of an early season funk that would likely still have him on the third line if not for Loui Eriksson's injury.
Marchand was demoted to the third line in favor of Reilly Smith in the third period of the Bruins' fourth game of the season, but he's back on Patrice Bergeron's line with Eriksson out. Julien said he spoke to Marchand and that skating and work ethic are the two things he needs to improve.
"Yeah, skating," Julien said Monday. "We talked about that, and we had a real good practice today. He seemed to have a little bit more jump. I think when Brad skates the way Brad can skate, he's quick. He's a real fast skater and stuff like that. If he can start using his speed and put a real good work ethic along with that, like a compete level that we know he can, just those two things alone will make a huge difference for him. Today I think he responded well to that.
"I thought he had a real good practice. He was skating better than I've seen him skate in a while, so hopefully he continues to work on that part of it and he's going to be fine."
Marchand finished second on the Bruins with 28 goals in the 2011-12 season and figured to be in line for a big season as he enters his prime with the addition of Eriksson to his line. It hasn't been pretty so far, however, as Marchand has one goal, a minus-1 rating and has committed numerous turnovers.
|Brad Marchand still on third line; Claude Julien doesn't want to sit Jordan Caron for too long
|10.21.13 at 1:38 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins' forward lines remained unchanged Monday at Ristuccia Arena, meaning that Brad Marchand is sticking on the third line for the time being.
Jordan Caron, who was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Lightning to allow Carl Soderberg into the lineup, wore a third-line grey sweater along with Marchand, Chris Kelly and Soderberg. The lines were as follows.
Lucic – Krejci – Iginla
Smith – Bergeron – Eriksson
Soderberg/Caron – Kelly – Marchand
Paille – Campbell – Thornton
With Soderberg back from and ankle injury, Claude Julien said that he intends to keep forwards fresh by not letting them miss long stretches as healthy scratches, which is what he's done on the back end with his seven defensemen.
"That would be the goal," Julien said. "Right now, you saw Jordan sitting out, and I don't think Jordan's been a bad player for us. I think he's played well, so you certainly don't want guys sitting in the stands again for that long.
"We're talking about the early part of the season here. When everybody's playing well, you like to get them in and keep everybody going because at one point you're going to run into some injuries. That's also part of the game, and you want those guys as ready as can be, so we're going to make some room for those guys to come in at times, and it might not always be the same player."
|Andy Brickley on M&M: Tim Thomas 'looks healthy and ready to go'
|10.17.13 at 3:51 pm ET
NESN commentator Andy Brickley joined Mut & Merloni on Thursday to discuss the Bruins' Thursday night game against the Panthers and former Boston goaltender Tim Thomas, as well as Jarome Iginla's scoring drought and Brad Marchand's demotion to the third line.
Thursday's game will be the first time that the Bruins will face off against Thomas, who played in Boston for eight seasons and won two Vezina Trophies (2009, 2011) as the league's best goaltender during his tenure with the team. Thomas is best remembered for his incredible play in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy after posting a .967 save percentage in the Stanley Cup finals against the Canucks.
After the Bruins were eliminated in the first round of the 2012 playoffs by the Capitals, Thomas announced that he was going to sit out the 2012-13 season. Still under contract with the Bruins during his hiatus, Thomas was traded to the Islanders on Feb. 7, 2013. The 39-year-old goalie then signed a contract with the Panthers on Sept. 26.
Brickey said that Thursday's game certainly will be interesting, adding that the Bruins are motivated to hand their old teammate another loss on the young season.
"If anything you can [see] from the morning skate, [Thomas] looked good, he looked healthy, he looked pretty focused," Brickley said. "He looks healthy and ready to go. Those numbers are a little inflated obviously with a little rust from taking the year off and then having to deal with an injury, but you know him and his competitiveness, he'll be ready to go tonight.
"I don't know if I would term [the Bruins' mood towards Thomas] as animosity. The general sense that I get from being around the guys and certainly this morning is that this is a game that they want to win, but whatever personal reasons or whatever feelings they have for Tim Thomas, this is not a love-in. … This is a guy and a team that we want to beat, and want to beat real bad."
|Loui Eriksson kicking old habits as he gets familiar with Bruins
|10.07.13 at 9:21 pm ET
It's only been two games, but with a four-day break between games for the Bruins, there couldn't be a better time for the first of what should be about 600 "How is Loui Eriksson fitting in?" posts.
The new second line of Patrice Bergeron between Brad Marchand and Eriksson has tried to gain chemistry while also handling some mighty tall tasks in matching up against Steven Stamkos' line Thursday and Pavel Datsyuk's line Saturday. The three kept Stamkos and Martin St. Louis' trio off the board in season-opener and swapped goals with Datsyuk's line in the Bruins' win over the Red Wings.
Yet with Eriksson coming in to do more than defend, one couldn't blame Bruins fans for being eager to see how the three will fare offensively. That's a work in progress, as Eriksson admitted Monday that he's still trying to shake some old habits.
"Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to play like I did in Dallas a little bit," he admitted. "I'm just trying to learn to '¦ stay more on my side. I get a tendency to go on the other side. I think that's a pretty simple thing to adjust to."
Indeed, a first-period opportunity Saturday fell apart when Eriksson, a left-shot right wing, and Marchand didn't seem to be on the same page on a play in which they were on the opposite wings. It wasn't a matter of where they were on the ice, as that happens all the time, but Eriksson seemed to want to get back on their respective sides while Marchand appeared eager to continue as is. Marchand, waiting at the blue line, tried to stay the course and remain on the right side, while Eriksson seemed to be getting back over to the right side as he brought the puck through the neutral zone.
The good news is that there wasn't any confusion the next period, when Marchand flew down the right wing and, with Bergeron driving the net, fired a shot past Jimmy Howard for his first goal of the season.
"You just need to read each other," Eriksson said. "I think we're getting better at that."
The three players seemed to get more comfortable with one another as the game went on, and though it's surprisingly been the third line that has perhaps clicked the most on the early season, Julien sees enough progress that he likes the direction in which perhaps his most important line is headed.
"I think you see it in practice, too. Games, practice. It's a matter of time," Julien said. "You can't judge or expect miracles in the first few games of a season. You give them a good month to get to know each other and play together, and you hope that in that month it progresses. So far I've seen that from training camp to now."

NRL woes repetitive and inappropriate
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 17, 2009
DURING the off-season, the NRL becomes the NGDL - the National Groundhog Day League, during which certain events seem to simply repeat events that have gone before.
The latest controversy involves Newcastle Knights prop Danny Wicks, who is accused of supplying and possessing illegal drugs following police raids.
This is merely the latest in a long line of similar cases to have afflicted the NRL, which previously has had to cope with fallout from drug admissions from retired star Andrew Johns in 2007 - among many, many other examples.
Wicks has been suspended from his club following charges over the alleged offences.
The question remains of how the NRL can better control players prior to them ending up in trouble.
In another Groundhog Day off-season incident, appropriately-named Cronulla backrower Paul Gallen was recently alleged to have been caught by police while urinating in public.
Again, please stop us if you've heard all this before. Because you have. Time after time after shameful time.
Back in May, Melbourne Storm halfback Cooper Cronk and his teammate, former NSW State of Origin player Brett Finch, were both fined for urinating in public.
Two weeks prior to that, after former Test forward Willie Mason was photographed urinating in a laneway outside a Double Bay hotel. One month earlier, Brisbane players Nick Kenny and Steve Michaels were cautioned by police for urinating in public.
If the NRL can't constrain its wayward stars, Gallen quit the Cronulla captaincy earlier this year after the NRL fined him for racist comments, then the least it could do would be to ask them to come up with something more original.
Even Bill Murray himself would find this mob repetitive.
THERE are probably still one or two people in Australia who have a positive view of banks.
Granted, they probably work for banks, but even their loyalty would be tested by the latest revelations of profit-gouging.
The Reserve Bank has now confirmed that banks are increasing their interest rates by more than the increase in their funding costs. The gap between those two increases is pure profit.
In other words, banks are using the unavoidable rise in their day-to-day costs to opportunistically sneak in a handy little profit buffer. Who knew that making banana smoothies was such a complicated, clandestine occupation?
