Get a unique glimpse at the famous Poppins cast as the spit-spot English nanny and the Banks children take over the kitchen for a week. With the help of familiar visitors like the Bird Woman, Admiral Boom, and Mr. and Mrs. Turvy, Mary Poppins teaches her irrepressible young charges the basics of cooking, from "A" to "Z." And young readers can re-create the week's menus by following the thirty different recipes. Kitchen adventures were never so much fun In full color for the first time, this enchanting new edition will delight both old and new fans of the inimitable Mary Poppins.
Born in Australia to an Irish father and a Scottish mother, Helen Lyndon Goff aka. P. L. Travers was a voracious reader and began to write while she was still a child. She did some acting but quickly moved into literary and dramatic criticism; she wrote some highly respected poetry as well. However, it is her series of books for children, starting with Mary Poppins (1934), on which her fame rests. The prim, kindly, and enchanting nanny takes charge of the Banks's household and brings the children a seemingly endless stream of fantasy adventures. The book was an immediate success. Walt Disney's (see Vol. 3) musical version, in 1964, brought the stories to an even wider audience. Subsequent books about Mary Poppins include Mary Poppins Comes Back, Mary Poppins Opens the Door, Mary Poppins in the Park, Mary Poppins from A to Z, and Mary Poppins and the House Next Door. Other more recent books include About Sleeping Beauty (1975) and Two Pair of Shoes (1980). Travers was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1977. She lived into advanced old age, but her health was declining toward the end of her life. Travers died in London on April 23,1996 at the age of 96.

Autumn Pasquale, the 12-year-old girl whose disappearance and slaying rocked the Gloucester County borough of Clayton last month, was a bicycle motocross enthusiast.
Now the county plans to name a bike trail in her hometown after her.
Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said Thursday that a resolution to memorialize a new three-mile section of the county's bike trail after Autumn will be on the freeholders' agenda next week.
Autumn's family "is very grateful that this bicycle trail will named after her," said Jaime Kaigh, a lawyer who is serving as spokesman for the girl's parents.
Damminger's announcement came the day before the two brothers charged with murdering Autumn - Justin, 15, and Dante Robinson, 17 - were scheduled to appear in court in Woodbury for a detention hearing.

Antec P160 Aluminum Enclosure Review
Interior (Continued)
I have been reviewing the Antec enclosures for quite some time now and have always hounded then for the lack of a removable motherboard tray. So you can imagine my surprise when I began digging into the internals of this model and noted the feature.
Many folks have said that if there is ample room inside a case, a motherboard tray becomes unnecessary. I tend to disagree with this concept simply because it is so much easier to install the mainboard, processor, HSF and memory modules when the tray is sitting conveniently on a table in front of you. It makes installation a good deal easier than mucking around within the enclosure.
But wait, we have already seen the attention to detail in regards to noise on this case, what can you possibly do to keep up this tradition?
How about a plastic cushion to rest the motherboard tray on? These plastic inserts sit across the rails which act as the mounting platform for the tray. They are sitting slightly higher than the metal arms and provide a means for a plastic on metal contact patch to keep vibrations from the case structure.
But why would you need this sound dampening effort on a motherboard tray? Consider the power of today's modern heatsink/fan combinations. With 80mm fans spinning well in excess of 6,000RPM, you can see the possibility of vibration transferring to the case. And while Northbridge coolers don't have as much power as a standard HSF, they are getting beefier all the time and can make use of the vibration-eliminating features of this Antec enclosure.
Moving onto the cooling aspect of the case shows a good deal fewer fans than you might be accustomed to seeing. Only two fans reside in the stock form of this enclosure, but both are massive 120mm housings. Pictured above is the rear housing and this is the recommended placement of the single fan that comes with this case. I would suggest getting a second to use as a front intake (pictured below), but that is up to you. With the larger size of these fans, you can get slower speeds with higher air ratings to keep noise even lower.
This is the housing assembly for the front fan. It has proper filtration in place and mounts directly in front of the hard drive tower to provide extra cooling for fast spinning drives. For the sake of importance I will reiterate, get another fan!

BEIXIAOYING TOWN, China - Before shoving the men's heavyweight eight out to race yesterday in the Olympic finals, U.S. coach Mike Teti went down the line of his rowers, saying good luck to each one.
When Teti - about to see his last race in 12 years as the national-team coach - got to his coxswain, Marcus McElhenney, he switched gears.
"I patted him on the head and just said, 'Go, Bonner,' " Teti said later.
The coach and the coxswain are Monsignor Bonner alumni. The connection from their Drexel Hill high school never made it easier for McElhenney. Teti sometimes seemed to bend over backward to prove there was no favoritism in any of his boats.

Maccarinelli Decisions McPhilbin in a Controversial Fight
By Alexey Sukachev
Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, West Midlands - Former WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli (35-5, 27KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over considerable underdog Shane McPhilbin (8-3, 5KOs) to capture the British cruiserweight title, and in doing so he fulfills the dream of his father. The scores were 115-111, 116-110, and 115-110 for Enzo - but the fight itself was extremely controversial as was the final outcome.
In the final minute of the first round, McPhilbin, who had already been hurt by Maccarinelli's power punches a moment earlier, landed a left hook to drop Enzo down hard, and the former champion looked very hurt. For some reason, the bell rang when Enzo made it up at the count of nine. The referee Ian John-Lewis, whose work was very much sub-par on this particular night, ordered both boxers to return to their corners but not before giving Enzo an additional five seconds to recover. There was 47 seconds left on the clock, when Enzo was saved by the timekeeper's screwjob.
In the second round, Enzo was hurt for a second time and made it to the bell by going into the survival mode. In the first minute of the third round, Enzo was knocked down with combination - except this time he didn't seem badly hurt. Enzo had a better offensive display in the final 30 seconds and dropped McPhilbin down twice; but both falls were not ruled as knockdowns.
Enzo started boxing better in the fourth and in the fifth, with the champion getting rapidly tired. The champion came back in the sixth, with Enzo bouncing back in the seventh. After a good eight round, Enzo scored a knockdown in the ninth after rocking McPhilbin with a hard shot on the button to bend him forward with both hands and knees touching the mat. After a replay was shown, it appeared that Enzo may have leaned a bit on the champion to force him down. The end of the fight was in Maccarinelli's favor, who had much more left in his tank. McPhilbin never stopped trying but his momentum had been completely lost in the first half of the fight.
Light welterweight domestic contender Martin Gethin moved forward to improve his record to 21-3-1, with 8 KOs, after a fourth-round stoppage of a Hungarian no-hoper Csaba Torma (6-7, 5 KOs). Torma has been steadily battered all the way through until Gethin stopped him at the ropes with another powerful combination.
Thomas Costello (10-0-1, 4 KOs) presented himself as a terrific body-puncher, when he first battered and then stopped hapless Slovakian Lubomir Weis (7-25-3) into the first round. A series of crushing left hooks got the job done for Costello.
Cruiserweight Chris Keane (5-0, 1 KO) looked fairly good, but clearly not impressed anyone with his safety-first defense-based win over tough-as-nails Lithuanian Remigijus Ziausys (21-48-3, 10 KOs). Ziausys was an aggressor throughout an entire fight but he was also eating more punishment than stylistically perfect Keane, whose hands were faster, and who circled over the Lithuanian all way out. The referee, who was also an only judge of the fight, scored it 60-54 - for Keane, while BoxingScene saw it a bit closer at 59-56. Ziausys, only 27, was stopped just once in his career by a feared power puncher Alexander Frenkel.
Super middleweight prospect Grant Cunningham (3-0, 1 KO) PTS 4 Ryan Clark (2-53-4). The sole score by the referee was 40-36. BoxingScene saw it 39-38 - also for Cunningham.

What are the symptoms of bad breath?
It is generally simple how to tell if you have bad breath. Others may notice someone has bad breath before the person does, so another person may tell him or her about their bad breath or give them a larger than normal personal space. The most obvious sign or symptom of bad breath is noticing an unpleasant odor coming from the mouth.
Other signs and symptoms of bad breath include
- unpleasant or sour taste or changes in taste,
- dry mouth,
- coating on the tongue.
How is bad breath treated? What can be done to prevent bad breath?
Treatment of bad breath depends on the cause.
- Brush and floss teeth regularly. Remember to brush the tongue, too. This can help with bad breath caused by foods a person has eaten.
- See a dentist regularly to ensure dentures or braces are properly fitted and cleaned.
- Quit smoking or using chewing tobacco.
Keep the mouth moist by drinking water and chewing sugarless gum or sugar-free hard candy to stimulate the production of saliva. Mouthwash may temporarily mask bad breath odors, but it may not treat the underlying cause.
Natural remedies to treat bad breath include chewing on mint or parsley.
If bad breath is due to a health problem such as a sinus infection, diabetes, acid reflux, etc., then the underlying medical issue needs to be treated.
If bad breath is a side effect of taking a medication, discuss with a doctor whether there are other options for medication that can be taken. Never stop taking a medication without first consulting your doctor.
For patients who suffer from dry mouth (xerostomia), artificial saliva may be prescribed by a dentist.

What will the College of Charleston baseball team do for an encore?
Two days after taking two out of three games from nationally ranked North Carolina, the Cougars (2-1) will take on Charleston Southern (3-0) Wednesday afternoon beginning at 4 p.m. at Patriots Point.
College of Charleston posted comeback wins on Saturday and Monday against UNC, using seven unanswered runs to erase a 4-0 deficit in the sixth inning on Saturday, and using three double plays to hold a 3-1 lead in Monday's series-clinching win.
It marked the highest-ranked team that College of Charleston has ever beaten in a three-game series. The weekend saw an average of 914 fans at each game, setting a new attendance record for opening weekend.
"It was a great weekend against North Carolina, but now we've got to forget about it," said College of Charleston coach Monte Lee. "As a coaching staff you have to establish very early in the season that every game is important. It's part of your resume. You don't get games back. That's the mentality you have to approach every game with. It's a crosstown rivalry, so it's an important game."
College of Charleston is 43-15 all-time against Charleston Southern. The Cougars have won the last three in a row against the Buccaneers. CSU's last win came on April 13, 2011, at Patriots Point (4-3).
The Buccaneers are coming off a three-game sweep of Villanova over the weekend. The Bucs won games 2-0, 2-1 and 8-4 over Villanova.
College of Charleston pitcher Bailey Ober, who was named the Colonial Athletic Association pitcher of the week, will start against the Bucs. Ober had four strikeouts, no walks and only allowed two hits to pick up his first career win against the Tar Heels this past Saturday. He set down 13 consecutive batters before allowing two singles in the ninth inning.
The Bucs are expected to counter with Andrew Locklear, who allowed one hit and struck out two batters against Villanova.

Usually, when I get an idea, it won't leave until I act on it. When I woke up on the penultimate Monday in December, I decided I wanted a new baby rat that very day. I invited my friend Jess along so we could begin our quest, and what a quest it was!
A pet store in Hanley town near my university is the store I bought Dumbo and Fidget from as babies, so I felt it would be the perfect place to seek a new rat pet. Now, as a rule, my directions are pretty good if all I have to do is follow the signs. It should have been a 16-minute journey. But Jess and I were too busy catching up to take any notice of where we were actually going; we got horribly, horribly lost. What was meant to take 16 minutes eventually took us an hour, and, even then, we didn't find what we were looking for!
"Aha! I know where there's another Pets At Home!" Jess cried triumphantly. And with renewed vigor, we headed off to little Walsall. Again, no luck. The store recently sold its last two female dumbo rats — two very pretty, sandy-colored babies. Though disappointed, we didn't give up! There was yet another unexplored Pets At Home in Sutton Colefield, and, after some nightmarish parking, we reached the third and final store.
What did we find? Nothing — only some very sweet, but very male, fancy rats. The last thing I wanted was Dumbo with a bellyful of babies (though I secretly wouldn't mind all that much...)
Deciding for the moment to give up hope, we rested at Jess's house, played with her new Dalmatian puppy and ate lunch. Then it hit me. Not many weeks back, I recalled seeing a female dumbo rat at a little pet store in Wolverhampton. The place is renowned for rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters and of course, rats! So, I gave them a call. And lo and behold, the store had an entire group of baby dumbo rats. Female dumbo rats!
The only problem was, it closed in two hours and we had no idea how to get there! Judging by our earlier "success," we decided it was best to ask for help from the god known as 'Sat Nav.' However, this required a trip to Dudley to fetch one from the only person I knew who had one. That left us with just an hour to reach the store during rush-hour traffic. If only we were rats we wouldn't need a sat nav, because rats have their own built-in version; though they never, ever go where you would like them to.
Thankfully, we made it in time. I requested a little play with a bunch of really sweet, husky dumbo rats, and I decided on the one I wanted to take home. She was a speedy little monster with needle-sharp claws, but she was beautiful.
I named her Mouse, Mouse the baby dumbo rat, and I'll tell you all about her next week!

Thursday, July 3, 2014
Secretary of State Mark Hammond is excited to announce that the 2014 legislative session brought many critical improvements to the laws regulating South Carolina notaries public. Signed into law by Governor Nikki Haley on June 2, Secretary Hammond joined the governor for the ceremonial signing of Senate Bill 356.
This important legislation was a result of input from notaries public, citizens who have had concerns or complaints about the performance of notaries in carrying out their duties, and concerns and questions from members of the legal community requesting guidance on the duties of a notary.
Highlights of the notary bill include:
– Clear statutory definitions for the notarial acts and clarification as to what a notary public can and cannot do. For example, the bill includes specific prohibitions against a notary public notarizing blank documents or records to which they may benefit;
– Specific criminal penalties for fraudulent notarization;

I like Pacquiao to beat Cotto at 150, and I like Mayweather to beat Canelo...but again, that just means that they BOTH have to win in order to keep the superfight attractive.
If one of them loses, I hope the other does too. It'd be like giving them a big **** you for having a fight stall for so long.
And it sounds ignorant, I know but a BIG part of the attraction of the superfight is Pacquiao getting a shot to fight an undefeated Mayweather and pop his cherry. A lot of that goes out the window if Mayweather were to lose.
So your theory, while plausible, should be taken with nothing more than a grain of salt. We've seem this more than half a dozen times. It's either one or the other. They should fight each other...NOW...in MAY before the soup rots.

Sounds possible, but what would really assure us the fight goes down for real this time in November? What if by that time they start having more roadblocks, and once again we don't get the stupid mega fight (which is an overrated fight in itself, just want it to happen and be done). I'll pass on Cotto-Pacquiao II, would be much better if Pacquiao was fighting Bradley. I don't mind Canelo-Mayweather though, but I can't imagine Golden Boy would be stupid enough to throw Canelo to the wolves this early.

Give you a perfect example: Floyd makes every PUBLIC effort to push for the fight, and when Pac finally states publicly YES!!! I agree, all I want is a 50\50 split and May 5th is on -- then out of the clear blue sky, Floyd goes into ego-mode and wants more of a percentage than Pac. Now what the fvck is that .... how can you push like never before for a fight where both will take home over 60million and then undermine all your efforts by asking for a unrealistic split????
This is nothing more than a fan-mind-fvck to continue boosting sales of non-relevant fights. And the fans have unwillingly hopped on-board for the ride.
Another reason this idea is flawed is what happens if Cotto KO's Pac by accident or {insert name here} beats Floyd ????????
If this isn't a likelihood, then we will be witnessing FIXED fights to ensure neither fighter loses their next bout.
That's the only way to guarantee nothing interferes with the PLAN. FIXED FIGHTS until the mega-fight can be made.

If this is correct everyone should avoid paying for both fights. Send a message that nothing less than a mega fight will do.

When the Dallas Mavericks take the floor for the first time this year you might think you're watching the wrong team.
The front office added to the roster six notable players, all of whom make a legitimate impact on the team. Not many other teams made that kind of noise during the offseason, and that's what helps makes following the Mavs during training camp so exciting.
Dirk Nowitzki finally has some new life and energy in what was an aging lineup, and that's exciting not only for him but also the Mavs' entire franchise.
In case you missed it, here's a quick breakdown of the players the Mavs acquired this offseason—Jose Calderon (PG), Monta Ellis (SG), Devin Harris (PG), Wayne Ellington (SG), DeJaun Blair (C) and Samuel Dalembert (C).
The Mavs honestly picked up an entire new team and watching them develop and build chemistry throughout the preseason and training camp is the biggest storyline to keep an eye on.
By the look of the media-day photos featuring the Mavs new talent it looks like gelling together isn't going to be difficult for them to do off the court. Let's just hope it translates to success on the hardwood.
Monta Ellis is, well, Monta Ellis
Signing Monta Ellis was without a doubt the biggest acquisition for the Mavs this offseason.
According to Dirk Nowitzki he's the most explosive scorer he's ever played with.
Dirk: "I think I've never played with a guy as explosive as Monta."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
Right now that probably seems like a great thing for Dirk, that is assuming Ellis goes to a dictionary and finally learns what efficiency is. In his own head, though, Ellis doesn't think he's the kind of player who takes bad shots.
Monta: "There's a lot of guys that take a lot of bad shots in this league. A LOT OF GUYS. ... I'm going to play Monta basketball."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
He may want to watch some of his own tape just to verify that, but hey, this year could be the year he decides to show serious discipline on the offensive end of the court.
One thing is for sure and that is there won't be a shortage of excitement on the floor and in the locker room this season thanks to Ellis.
Mavs Are Playoff Bound Says Monta Ellis
Monta: "We're going to prove a lot of people wrong and we're going to get back to the Dallas Mavericks making some noise in the playoffs."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
Well here's the first postseason guarantee of the year, and not shockingly it comes from Mr. Ellis.
While there's certainly excitement about the talent the Mavs acquired, there should also be a bit of caution.
The players the Mavs acquired aren't necessarily "winners." Sure they are good players, but a bunch of them—DeJaun Blair being the exception, because of the team success he experienced with the San Antonio Spurs—haven't had much experience being a part of a winning team.
The good news, though, is that all of these new additions get to play with one of the league's most lethal offensive players in Nowitzki and with veteran talent like Shawn Marion and Vince Carter.
It will certainly be an interesting year for the Mavs. To say that it will certainly be a playoff year though is a different story. I like Ellis' confidence in his new team, and the good news for him is that a postseason promise this early can be easily forgotten throughout the season.
Dirk Nowitzki feels good, fired up - ESPN (blog) http://t.co/JeeHE4j9xr— Dal Mavericks new (@DalMavericksnew) September 30, 2013
Dirk Nowitzki is Fired Up for the Season
After finishing last season at .500, Nowitzki was able to shave his gross beard. Hopefully last season's disappointments fell to the floor along with the facial clippings.
If Dirk ever needs motivation to help the Mavs reach the playoffs this year, he just needs to be reminded that last year he missed the postseason for the first time in more than a decade. Yep, that should keep him motivated.
Dirk: "We shouldn't be losing seven overtime games in a row. Not with this team. Not with the playmakers we have."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
All Nowitzki really needs to do this season is play with the same level of enthusiasm as he put into this stellar commercial.
In all honesty, Nowitzki is 35 years old, and his best days in the NBA are in his rear-view mirror. This season may be one of his last legitimate shots at a title—at least as a member of the Mavs.
Let's hope his fired-upness lasts the entire season.
Takeaways from Mavs' Media Day
The biggest takeaway from the Mavs' media day is that we don't know very much about this team.
With all the new talent on the roster, there's no telling just how good or how bad the new-look Mavs will be.
My gut tells me that they will be good enough to make Monta Ellis' postseason promise come true. That's assuming Ellis can play well with others and share the ball, and they can get some solid production up front from Samuel Dalembert and DeJaun Blair.
While the topic wasn't addressed during media day, Mark Cuban's trial for alleged insider training casts an uncertainty over the franchise. The legal proceedings won't necessarily impact the on-the-court product the Mavs put out, but the trial could have an impact on the focus and structure of the organization.
Jury picked for Mark Cuban's insider-trading trial http://t.co/SOosDzCGDC— ESPNDallas (@ESPNDallas) October 1, 2013
Honestly, it could be a positive thing to have Cuban's microscopic focus on something other than the basketball operations, but we won't know anything for sure until his insider-trading trial plays out.
Carlisle: "The truth is [Ellis] is going to have the ball a lot in his hands as a playmaker." Expect Ellis to be more than just a scorer.— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
Media Day Wrap Up
It's a "hurry up and wait" mentality right now for Mavs fans, and that's what media day reminded everyone.
The most exciting part of training camp for the Mavs will be seeing how their depth chart takes shape. The odds are that Calderon will be the starting PG and Ellis will start at the shooting guard position.
Monta says he has to "get back to running the floor and being a one-man fast break."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
That would make for an interesting backcourt combination, and one that on paper would seem to work. The only problem is that Ellis is deadliest when he has the ball and is creating offense for himself, which decreases Calderon's value a little bit as a true point guard for the Mavs.
Calderon: "We've got all the pieces to be a really good basketball team. Hopefully we can get that chemistry down."— Earl K. Sneed (@EarlKSneed) September 30, 2013
I'm sure the Mavs will try out a few different rotations to see which one maximizes all of the talent on their roster. That's what preseasons are for, right?

Most European countries are represented in technical committees of the UN ECE and the EU associated with the development of vehicle safety standards and legislation. In addition, several European countries participate actively in the work of international organisations towards the development of legislative tests and standards. For example, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the UK contribute to the work of the various working and steering committees of the EEVC and global research co-operation within the International Harmonised Research Activities IHRA.
Achieving vehicle safety legislation which reflects realworld conditions necessitates programmes of in-depth crash injury research, crash dummy development and other biomechanical work. During the last 20 years, countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden and France have devoted significant national resource to programmes of work aimed at safety standard development.
The monitoring of the performance of European vehicle safety legislation in real crashes to identify progress as well as future priorities for vehicle safety has taken place systematically in few European countries. A notable example is the Cooperative Crash Injury Research Study in the UK. European protocols for in depth research have been following the EU-wide projects STAIRS and PENDANT.
Various Governments have joined the European New Car Assessment programme since its inception in 1996 including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, France and Germany. Some countries actively promote Europe NCAP results. In Sweden, the National Road Administration promotes an in-house travel policy which requires that all cars used in official business have at least a 4* safety rating.
Example of a EuroNCAP crashtest
Some countries provide financial incentives for the fitment or use of safety equipment. For example, in the Netherlands there is a tax (called BPM tax) for passenger cars and motorcycles. However, a purchase of a passenger car or a motorcycle fitted with specific safety systems is exempt from BPM tax. The specific safety equipment is:
Passenger cars: side airbags, anti-whiplash head rest system, navigation devices and for Motorcycles, ABS and CBS (Combined Brake System).
Clearly protective equipment such as seat belts and child restraints are of little value unless they are used. The European Commission proposed on 6th April 2004 a package of measures aiming at improving road safety through a better enforcement of road safety rules. In addition to recommending the setting up a national enforcement plan, the Commission recommended in relation to seat belts to:
Ensure that intensive enforcement actions concerning the non-use of seat belts with a duration of at least two weeks take place at least three times a year, in places where non-use occurs regularly and where there is an increased risk of accidents, and ensure that the use of seat belts is enforced in every individual case where non-use is observed and the car is being stopped; these enforcement actions may take place in combination with other traffic enforcement actions, such as those concerning speeding and drink-driving.
A range of EC funded research reviews have been carried out which have highlighted best practice in enforcing vehicle measures requiring user action e.g. ESCAPE, GADGET.
The Swedish National Roads Administration has within the Vision Zero policy been successful in recent years in encouraging rapid voluntary adoption of seat belt reminders in the national car fleet and the voluntary installation of alcohol interlock devices in the national truck fleet. For example, alcohol interlocks are now installed in over 1500 vehicles and, since 2002; two major truck suppliers have been offering interlocks as standard equipment on the Swedish market. The majority of new cars sold in Sweden are fitted with seatbelt reminders.

When the Stanley Cup playoffs roll around, players are fighting for more than getting their team into the next round. Several players may be playing their hearts out to earn a new contract or a spot on a top line.
But some players are playing for a spot on a team of the future. They are hoping to make a strong impression on the coaching staff and their team leaders. This group of players, of course, is made up of NHL rookies who are getting their first taste of the chase for the Cup.
Not all rookies get a chance to play in the playoffs. On some squads, they practice with the team but are usually sent to the press box to watch the game from above.
However, the players in this slideshow are fortunate. They are given game action and sometimes, major responsibilities.
Here are the top performing rookies to date in the NHL playoffs. All statistics are as of the end of games on Sunday, May 8.

The 4th Annual Silent Auction Benefit in Loving Memory of Jacques Dupont and Becki Mignogna, was a HUGE success. The benefit was held Saturday, November 23rd at The Atkinson Resort & Country Club in Atkinson, NH. The event featured DJ Billy Rears of Get Down Tonight Entertainment who got the guests dancing, the food was delicious and included; appetizers, pasta stations, salad, garlic bread, and there was also a cash bar. There were over 130 items for guests to bid on at the Silent Auction tables – this year I added a Live Auction which had 7 Amazing items (including a Safari for 2 to South Africa). There was also a wine raffle where attendees purchased wine corks for a chance to win one of 15 bottles of wine. Attendees were able to bid on and win some amazing auction items... many bargains were had this year. It was a great way to kick off the Holidays and do s little "Shopping For a Cure" This years event surpassed my expectations, and for those who know me - my expectations are always very high - $18,100. was raised for The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.
It was another emotional event, indeed. The room was full of respect, compassion, love, and an understanding of why this foundation is so very important to me and many others. I've said it before and I continue to say, "I will never stop fighting the fight". There were 210 guests in attendance this year and I had to turn down 25 more, as the food had already been ordered and the floor plan was finalized. I have already met with my venue coordinator and we will be able to have up to 275 guests next year. My pictures are not great, I've sent them to Donna to post them – but a local photographer has already approached me and he is all signed up for next year. Next years benefit is already booked and many people and businesses in my community have emailed or called me as they want to be involved next year. The 5th Annual Jacques Dupont Benefit will be held in November at the same venue and the DJ has already committed to donate his services again.
November 10, 2016 will mark 9 years that cholangiocarcinoma took the love of my life – but I promised him that I would make raising awareness to one day find a cure my mission – and I will never give up. My committee of 3 of my dearest friends and their spouses are meeting on December 27th to debrief and start the planning for 2016. I am very fortunate to have such amazing friends and also my community behind me. They believe in me and the Chokangiocarcinoma Foundation and are willing to join and support my mission.
Merry Christmas and Hugs from New Hampshire,
Barbara Dupont

LOVE LOVE LOVE !! Professional, Knowledgeable,. One of the best doctors in the world. HONORABLE!!!!
Dr Pauli has a wonderful bedside manner. She spends time talking with you and answers all questions thoroughly. The staff is always courteous. The wait time in office has never been more than five minutes. I would highly recommend dr pauli.
Chronically late about an hour behind is usual. No skin check at physical and I have family history of melanoma. I think in trying to catch up she misses things.
Although the practice is very busy, Dr. Pauli takes the time with the patient, truly listens and makes sure her patients feel valued and cared for. Dr. Pauli is one of the best PCPs in the community!
She made me feel unsafe and treated me with what felt like racism. Pauli was so condescending, disrespectful and unprofessional that I had to make a formal written complaint to the BWH Administator. Stay away from this woman if you can, I believe her to be a sociopath and should not be near patients. Shame on BWH for lowering their standards and allowing Ms. Pauli on staff.
Dr. Pauli is thoughtful and takes the time to listen. Based on a simple answer I gave, she asked questions and diagnosed me with a rare, very treatable disorder. Not only is she thorough, conscientious, and sharp, but she is pleasant and has a great bedside manner. I have recommended her to family and friends and will continue to do so. The administrative staff is less than stellar, but they are not just hers; she belongs to a large group. As is common in the medical field, the non-medical personal can be surly and self-important, and they are always brutal to reach on the telephone. Hopefully, over time, Dr. Pauli's friendly demeanor will rub off!
I was nervous after my previous doctor left the practice at the Fish Center, as she was the best, but was instantly put at ease when I met Dr. Pauli. She was kind, attentive, thorough and cautious. I have seen her a handful of times since my initial visit with her over a year ago and feel confident that I am getting the best care with Dr. Pauli. I recommended her to my mother in-law as well as anyone looking for a switch in primary care. Dr. Pauli is also the best!
Dr Pauli was more than courteous and professional as well as being quite up to date in her speciality. I felt very comfortable with her and would strongly recommend her to my friends and family.

An original collection of charming knitting patterns. These adorable designs by Denny Gould feature colourful motifs and stylish garments and accessories, with easy-to-follow instructions. The patterns can be downloaded ready to knit in the size you choose or you can download the intarsia charts to use in your own Projects.
I first started to design clothes for my children when they were younger and went on to sell garments through shops and craft fairs. I also taught the use of machine knitting and knitwear design. I later followed a career in IT, but I now have a granddaughter and whilst hand knitting for her was inspired to start designing and creating knitting patterns again.
I have always loved to paint, so have combined this art into my knitting. I hope you will also enjoy knitting these designs. Most are in stocking stitch using intarsia charts. A different coloured yarn is used according to the chart and when knitting across the row, yarns are crossed at the back. Patterns can be knitted with any type of yarn within each featured thickness, i.e. 4 ply, double knitting, chunky etc. and are not exclusive to a particular brand of yarn so the choice of colours and suppliers are endless. Tension guidelines and full instructions are supplied with the downloadable pattern.
I will be constantly adding new designs so keep visiting the site.
Perfect for those "dinosaur mad" youngsters. A quick and easy design to knit in Aran/Worsted Yarn.
Suggested Yarns:
Sirdar Supersoft Aran
Berroco Vintage(tm)
James C. Brett With Wool Aran
or any Worsted/Aran yarn to give the correct tension
The cushion cover is knitted in one piece and the back has a four button opening.
Good project for a first attempt at Intarsia (picture) knitting.
It also incorporates 2 panels of fair isle (stranded) knitting on the back.
Just add some snazzy buttons and you have a "cool" cushion.
18 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
750 yards of Worsted weight

The global P2P market is currently undergoing a phase of rapid and unprecedented development driven by both changes in global consumer dynamics and the impacts of emerging, and potentially transformative technologies. As the market continues to grow, payment providers are now faced with the opportunity to replace more traditional forms such as cash and cheques, but will face new challenges.
- Understand the market's potential with Datamonitor's definitions and analysis of key P2P market segments.
- Plan your international strategy effectively by seeing how key P2P systems work, and where there are gaps in the market
- Develop new products by seeing what impact technology is having on the market and what this means for payment providers.
- P2P payments are among the most basic forms of transaction but the mechanisms used have many implications for payment providers. All transactions fall within the broad range of proximity and remote, and domestic and remittance P2P payments, and new technologies are having an impact on all of these mechanisms.
- Many established payment tools including cash and money agents continue to hold key advantages and will remain in high use. However the growth of new tools such as digital wallets, means that consumers are finally beginning to shift towards newer platforms. This marks a key opportunity to replace cash and other older payment tools.
- The regulatory environment means that developing a truly universal cross border P2P platform remains an unlikely development in the near term. Despite the growth in remittances, the trend is more likely to be for more regulatory hurdles not less.

- Cheques are in decline but are unlikely to disappear outright
- Remote P2P payments all face similar challenges
- Traditional remote P2P methods remain common in many markets
- Money agents are the most global providers of P2P services
- Card scheme P2P services are growing their capabilities in domestic and remittance transactions
- Bank transfers are growing in use among consumers in many markets but are increasingly a hygiene factor for providers
- Mobile banking is driving sustained growth in P2P bank transfers
- Digital wallets are emerging as a new focal point for P2P payments
- The key mechanisms of digital wallets are similar regardless of the provider
- Most digital wallets struggle with book transfer systems of moving funds
- Moving money in and out of the wallet poses challenges for providers
- Float value is not enough of a revenue generator for most digital wallets

Hi Everyone!
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this because I'm at a total loss. I have an old Tecra A4 with Windows XP. About a week ago, I booted up my computer to find that it was ignoring about 3-4 inches of the screen on the right side and about a half inch on the bottom. The right side of the screen in black and it will not allow the mouse to travel that far over, it just makes everything that would be on my normal screen fit into the smaller space. At that point, I restarted the laptop and it went back to normal...full screen and all and it has been fine, until...
Today I went to restart my computer (from a full screen) and it refused to boot up. All I could see was the Toshiba message at the beginning of the boot process. It won't boot from a disk, in safe mode, or any other way, but it was definitely ignoring the right side of the screen again (even while on that initial Toshiba screen). I finally got it to boot up by leaving it on that initial Toshiba screen for a while and then lightly pressing the power button once. Then the boot process kicked in and Windows booted normally with all of my data/programs still present, but it is still ignoring the right 3-4 inches and the bottom half inch of my screen. If I try to reboot, it just gets stuck on that Toshiba screen again.
What happened to my computer?? Please help me!!

Aggressive, drug-resistant staph infections caught in hospitals or from medical treatment are becoming scarcer, another sign of progress in a prevention effort that has become a national public health priority. The decline was seen in a federal study of methicillin-resistant staph, or MRSA. The bug often causes only a boil or skin infection. But researchers in the study focused on invasive cases that can become deadly, invading the bloodstream, flesh, lungs and bones. Researchers found that in nine metro areas, cases of MRSA fell about 16% between 2005 and 2008. That translates to a drop from about 32 cases per 100,000 to 26 cases per 100,000 people. The results suggest aggressive efforts to stop the germ from spreading are working, researchers said.

They faced stronger teams, injury, and "performance-reducing drugs" in the World Series, but the grandfathers of summer fought their way into the playoffs.
Then, in the quarterfinals of the 70+ tournament, the five players from the Philadelphia region joined their Tri-Valley Giants teammates to face the team that had beaten them, 24-3, three days earlier.
With his team trailing the Sacramento Solons, 8-4, last Saturday, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Ben Lerner began a rally with a single.
Three hits and a walk later, the Giants had closed the deficit to 8-7 before their bats went cold. Abner "Reds" Sokol, a 77-year-old retired salesman, registered the Giants' only other hit after that, and the Solons won, 11-7.

When I was young, I had this strange uncanny knack to allow my mind to wander free of all restraints, jumping wildly from one idea to another in an never ending river of random wackiness that probably explain why I've never gotten along with other people my age. I'm now 17, and surprisingly, this ability has not gone away. Whenever I'm bored, or tired, my brain idily jumps from one idea to the next, somehow streaming every leap together like some kinda psycho spider.
Now why would I spend a paragraph decribing mental episodes I occasionally experience? Well, after a recent, particularly engaging psychotic fit, I got to thinking; the imagry that just went through my head, while completely off the goddamned wall, if I wrote it down, people would at least go 'he's pretty creative'. This in turn lead me to deduce that creativity, as wonderful, sparkly, and well kept as it is, is not as SIMPLE as we make it out to be.
Amongst the sea of complaints we, the people, wash over the Designer Islands, the wave that crests the highest is always the lack of creativity of the industry. We're tired of the same kinds of games, we cry at the door of EA. We demand unique properties, we shout at the Fort Valve. Give us creativity or give us death, we spew at the base of Mount Activision/Blizzard. It reminds me of in the action thrillers, were the invinsible armys are advancing, and while our hero attempts to hold them off, one of the fleeing survivors yells 'kill them!' Perhaps we're too bus running from our own invinsible armies of samy-gamy, but perhaps we're failing to notice that no matter what the companies do, originality is hard to come by.
To ilistrate my point in a less ambiguously pointless way, let's use 3 hypothetical creative directors, all brought in on the same day to pitch their ideas to a corporate leader. We shall call them Richard, Dick, and Rick.
Richard enters first, his clean pressed suit showing himself ready for business. "Tell me your idea." the boss askes. "My idea is quite simple. We will create a first person shooter based on a alien world. You use various machines guns, shotguns, and other guns to blow them up." The boss looks perplexed. "Is this not the same as every other game on the market?" Richard nods, before pulling out a chart. "Familiarity is a strong pulling factor, sir, and by sticking to what works, we can rest assured that our game will be purchased at a decent level."
This leads into my first point about creativity in the industry; Not everyone is a creative genius, so not everyone can come up with brilliant ideas. Sometimes you just have to work with what you were given.
After Richard leaves the office, Dick comes in. "Tell me, Dick, what do you have for me?" Dick smiles before laying it out. "My idea is about a walabee named 'Wienner' who rides around in a golfcart, smacking people upside the back of the head while singing songs about corn. He has a girlfriend with a wooden leg who runs around behind the cart collection purple tokens with are then used to upgrade the couples hovercraft." The boss nods, trying not to appear as confused as he is. "It's a creative idea, Dick, but how are we going to impliment it?" At this point, Dick frowns. "I have no idea, sir."
Problem with Industry Creativity #2: Just because an idea is creative doesn't necissarily mean it will work as a game. I've heard people say they want games were you play a penny-less immigrant on the street, or something similar, but the question that always pops into my head is 'how would you pull that off?' While it's always possible to find some way to play it, it's not necissarily going to be a fun implimentation.
After Dick gets fired, it's Rick's turn to enter the office. He sits in silence before his boss gives him the signal to start. "I've been working hard on this, sir. My idea is based around an illegal underground music group in a world overtaken by an evil corporation which has censored literature, movies, and music. The group travels across the country, playing underground venues and enacting sabotage against the company in an attempt to free the world from it's tyrany. It's gameplay style is a mixture of RPG leveling around a brawl based combat style which uses a light tactical inspirations, interspersed with music based mini-games, used both in and out of combat." The boss nods, liking the idea, and the project is chosen. The game is released to critical acclaim, but lack-luster sales. This may sound like a worse case scenario, but it's more common then you think.
And this segues comfortably into my final point; Even if you get someone who's genuinely creative to give you an idea, and it's capable of fitting in the realms of what could be considered a fun game, it's often too much of gamble. Like it or not, and call them evil for it, but a corporations first and foremost duty is not to us, but to their shareholders. A corporation is made to make money, and if they aren't, they aren't doing their job. I return to Richard, who's familiar game, while samy and prone to getting people up in arms, was more likely to be purchased based soley on the fact that that's what the people want.
In the end, creativity in the games industry is strangled by 3 main issues; Lack of Creative Individuals, Creative Individuals who lack a sense of control, and finally, a generally easy to assume mass opinion. Nothing can be done about the first 2, and while the third reason may have hope, the sad truth is the only thing that'd change the odds is luck.
Personally, as infuriating as it is, I'm willing to lay down my grudge against saminess, ower my I.Q. a few points and enjoy a good mindless cookie cutter game. I doubt our whinning and complaining will change anything, and if you're too busy complaining, you're not busy gaming. Good bye.

Juan Manuel Marquez Plans To Pursue Bradley Rematch
By Rene Umanzor
Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40KOs) plans to pursue a rematch with WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (31-0-1, 12KOs). Marquez felt he was robbed a few weeks ago when Bradley was awarded a twelve round split decision at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Marquez, 40 years-old, also felt he was robbed against Manny Pacquiao when he fought the Filipino star to a draw in 2004. He made a career mission to get revenge on Pacquiao, and that mission resulted in three more fights between the two.
Marquez says his main motivation to continue in boxing is to set the record straight against Bradley.
"I'm sad for what happened in my last fight, because I needed to win. I was more focused and stronger, but as I look to the future....what motivates me is a rematch with Bradley. Nothing else could take place if I don't carry out this fight. I have to settle this issue with Timothy Bradley, as long as he accepts a rematch, because I want to make it clear who won on the 12th of October. Right now I'm not thinking about [other opponents], I'm more interested in making a rematch against Bradley to make it clear who is who. I already talked a bit with [trainer] Nacho [Beristain] and we feel that is the best option," Marquez said.
Rene Umanzor covers boxing in Mexico for The Record.
