Getting Started on International Law Research
This guide is intended to help you begin research on an international law topic at the Pritzker Legal Research Center. The guide focuses on secondary sources, such as books and journal articles, and the research tools, such as indexes, that can be used to identify such materials. Secondary sources can provide valuable background and analysis. They can also refer you to relevant documents, such as treaties, legislation, case law, or governmental documents. It is often best to start with secondary sources, especially for research in an unfamiliar area. The focus of this guide is on English language materials.
What is Public International Law? What is Private International Law?
A distinction is traditionally made between "public international law" and "private international law." In present day practice the distinction is not as sharply drawn as it may once have been. "Public international law" refers to relations between and among sovereign states, as well as international organizations. Some areas considered to fall within the purview of public international law are the law of war, the law of peace, the law of treaties, the law of state responsibility, international criminal law, and the international protection of human rights. Sometimes public international law is referred to simply as international law. The term "private international law" has been used in two ways. This term is used most frequently to refer to the area, known in the United States and some other common law countries as "conflict of laws," that encompasses issues--such as choice of law and choice of forum--that arise when a legal matter involves persons or other entities in different national jurisdictions. In this sense, private international law really refers to rules of domestic (national) law for dealing with such issues. There are various conventions in place to promote uniform practice in selected areas. For further discussion of this area, sometimes referred to as "international uniform law," see the excellent research guide Comparative Law by Paul Norman (GlobaLex). The term "private international law" is also used in some contexts to refer to legal transactions between individuals, businesses, etc. (entities other than states) in different national jurisdictions, in contradistinction to the traditional subject areas of public international law.
Some writers subsume the categories "foreign law" and "comparative law" under the category of "international law." For convenience this website maintains a separate section for Foreign and Comparative Legal Resources.
Modern day legal transactions may well involve matters of both domestic (national) law and international law. It is increasingly common for the terms "transnational" or "global" to be used to encompass all of the areas referred to above.
The "Sources" of International Law
Some further discussion of terminology may be helpful. One of the areas within the rubric of public international law is the "sources of international law." Scholarly treatments of the sources of international law are concerned with the question of what we look to in determining rules of international law. In this sense, the sources of international law (to simplify the frequently cited list found in the Statute of the International Court of Justice) are: conventions, international custom, and general principles of law. Judicial decisions and the teachings of "publicists" may also be looked to, but only as "subsidiary means" of determining international law. By analogy to common law, the first three of these (conventions, international custom, and general principles) are sometimes referred to as "primary" sources of international law, and the last two (judicial decisions and the teaching of "publicists") are sometimes referred to as "secondary" sources of international law. Click here for more detailed discussion of the sources of international law and for help in finding such materials.
However, in bibliographic resources, such as this "Getting Started" guide, the term "secondary sources" is used to refer to materials such as books, articles, and scholarly papers about international law subjects, irrespective of whether such materials rise to the level of "sources" of international law as discussed above.
Research Guides
One way to begin research is to consult a research guide on the subject. A research guide will usually include some substantive discussion, in addition to providing references to the major resources. Research guides are usually "annotated," i.e., each resource is described, not merely listed. Research guides that are available in electronic form usually link to the electronic resources that they cite. Note that some research guides in electronic form are limited to electronic resources and do not describe print resource that may be equally relevant.
"Nutshells" on International Law Topics
One way to acquire substantive background on an unfamiliar subject is to consult a "Nutshell." "Nutshells" are paperback books published by Thomson/West. Each book in this series is devoted to a particular area of law and provides a concise explanation of the subject. A Nutshell can be an excellent introduction to a subject. Most Nutshells deal with areas of United States law, but a growing number cover international law topics.
Treatises on International Law
Treatises provide in-depth, scholarly treatment of a subject. The following is a highly selective list.
Public International Law:
International Trade, Business, and Economic Law:
Encyclopedias and Dictionaries
Another way to obtain background information on a topic is to consult an encyclopedia or encyclopedic dictionary.

Internet Resources for International Law
A very large number of Internet sites are relevant to international law research. These include websites of international organizations (IGOs or NGOs, government agencies, and private organizations). There are subject-oriented sites, such as the human rights web site of the University of Minnesota Law Library; sites devoted to a particular type of material, such as the treaties site at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy; and sites covering a broad selection of topics and materials.
At present our web site has sections for the following: Courts and Tribunals | Criminal Law/War Crimes/Genocide | Environmental Law | European Union | Family Law | Human Rights | Intellectual Property | International Organizations | Trade, Business, and Economic Law | Terrorism | Treaties | United Nations

State prosecutors have determined that a verbal attack against a German Jewish leader was not a case of anti-Semitism.
Stephan Kramer, general secretary of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, disagrees and said on his Facebook profile that he would ask his attorney to inspect the files on the case, to see if an appeal is possible.
Kramer brought charges last fall in connection with the Sept. 27, 2012 incident, in which he alleged that a man verbally abused him as he was walking to synagogue with his two daughters. According to reports, Kramer, who was carrying a prayer book, said the man told him several times to "get out of here," in a threatening manner. Kramer told the French news agency AFP at the time that he revealed a gun he had in its holster, in order to get the man to back off.
The state prosecutor determined that the incident was not of an anti-Semitic nature, according to news reports. Martin Steltner, a spokesperson for the state attorneys, told reporters that the investigation has been called off.
The man involved in the altercation also filed charges against Kramer; here, too, the states prosecutors found no grounds for the charge and dropped their investigation last fall.
Kramer told reporters on Wednesday that he could not understand the latest decision. He said that the incident also had been perceived as threatening by passersby, who called the police on his behalf.
The incident occurred weeks after a rabbi in Berlin, Daniel Alter, suffered injuries in a brutal anti-Semitic attack.

Why You Should Read A Kymaro Body Shaper Review Before You Buy
There are some products that are so highly advertised on television that you think you already know all of the facts about them, and the Kymaro Body Shaper may be one of those items. If you turn on your television at any time of the day or night, you just might see an infomercial for this unique product. If not, then it is worth reading a Kymaro Body Shaper review to see if it is for you.
What Is the Kymaro Body Shaper?
The first thing that you will learn when you read a Kymaro Body Shaper review is that although some people will describe it as a girdle, it is much more than that. It not only helps you appear thinner and smoother, but it moves your body where it should be. It also provides a great deal of support for your lower back, which is something that a lot of women really appreciate.
How Does It Work?
This is a compression garment that you wear with your own bra. Although the straps go over your shoulders, the compression begins just underneath your breasts, and continues down to the top of your hips, which is important to note in this Kymaro Body Shaper review. One thing that this definitely gets rid of is the "muffin top," but it is also good for eliminating back fat and the various bulges that most of us see when we wear tight clothes.
It is available in both nude and black, in a variety of sizes, and you can even buy matching bottoms so that you will fit better in your pants and skirts, too.
What Can You Learn From A Kymaro Body Shaper Review?
When you read any Kymaro Body Shaper review, you will see that there is still a certain stigma related to girdles. They are considered to be old fashioned and something that your grandmother might have worn. However, this product does much more than a girdle and is also a lot more comfortable. It is also made from a special material that will let you breathe and it won't roll up or down when you are wearing it.
The US news station, KFVS 12 News, performed a test of the Kymaro shaper. The test subject has tried everything before in the market (except the Kymaro) and hasn't felt comfortable with any. Take a look at the video below:
Here are the results:
- The shaper doesn't roll up like other shapers or girdles do
- Slimmed her waistline by about an inch and a half
- Made her body shape smoother
- Perhaps most important – it is comfortable
Here are more comments from other users:
"I get excellent back support and it wasn't so tight that I felt uncomfortable."
J. Nuckols, Amazon.com
"I am not overweight but it slims me nicely."
Jhig, Walgreens.com
"This product was very helpful in many ways it not only makes you look slimmer in seconds it also helps support your back!!! i have really bad back problems and after putting the body shaper on i instantly felt a huge difference in my back support and also along as my body slimmer."
glitterkitty23, Walgreens.com
"Love the fit and the look it gives this over 70 + gal. Also happy that I don't have to deal with snaps."
Parkie, Walgreens.com
"Love this very nice for slimming and helps with my back."
mohair, Walgreens.com
"Love this product! It is very comfortable and really does make you look slimmer and smoother!"
pegleg, Walgreens.com
"This product lives up to its claim. I was afraid I would feel very restricted but once it's on you don't even think about it."
becca, Walgreens.com
The fabric is double strength in the mid-section, so no matter how much excess weight or skin you have there, the Kymaro Body Shaper will be able to keep it under control.
"The Kymaro Body Shaper works superbly. I look about ten pounds lighter or more!"
B. Howard, Amazon.com
"The Kymaro is great. It does not ride up like many other undergarment/girdle-type products."
modizz, Walgreens.com
"Absolutely Great! Makes you look thinner instantly and hides all unpleasent "bulges"!!"
morena, Walgreens.com
Where Should You Buy It?
You can sometimes find this for sale in stores, but you will still get a much better buy if you shop for it online. Not only will you be sure to find it in the full variety of sizes, but you can choose between nude and black, and you can also buy the matching bottoms. It is very important that you get the right size in this product if you want to get the most out of it.
Is This The Kind of Product For You?
When you read the Kymaro Body Shaper review articles that are online, one thing that you will notice is that they are written by a wide variety of women. Some women are older, some are younger, some have a lot of fat to hide, while others have lost weight and are just trying to keep loose skin under control. No matter what your problem is, you will definitely look 10 to 20 pounds lighter when you wear this under your clothes and you will also have a tendency to walk more upright, with confidence.

I thought I would share with you today how you go about creating a piece of french country furniture. For the novice painter and renovator it may seem a little daunting looking at this beat up piece of furniture and wondering how the heck to get it to something that looks reasonably good to put in your home.
This is what I started with a sturdy but a bit of a beat up piece of furniture. It had some bad scratches and wearing on the table top and was in a dire need of some attention.
The first step to any renovation even before sanding is to decide what you want to do with your chosen piece of furniture. Things such as what colour you want to paint it, what colour stain to use if you are re-staining the top. What are you going to do with the terrible knobs/handles that are attached to the piece. These decisions need to be made before you begin so that you have a vision of what you want the piece to look like at the end plus finding out how much your idea is going to cost. Things such as undercoat, paint, stain, knobs and handles all add up and it is nice to know an approximate cost for these things before you start. You don't want to get half way through and realise what you wanted to do is going to cost too much. I know you want to get started on creating a gorgeous piece of furniture but a little patience goes a long way in the early planning stages. If this is your first time renovating a piece of furniture I suggest going basic in your design. You many have all these wonderful ideas but in reality they are either time consuming, difficult and a pain in the bum. Go simple to start off with to get your confidence and practice up.
If you have no idea of what you want to do with it then I suggest you don't start doing anything to it until you have made a decision. If you are stuck for ideas why not follow me on pinterest and check out some ideas that I have pinned for inspiration or google for some further inspiration. You can also check out the list of projects that I have completed for some other inspiration. After you have decided what you want to do with your chosen piece of furniture it is time to go and buy the materials that you will require to transform your piece of furniture into something fabulous.
Material that you will need:
Orbital Sander *or a sanding block to do it by hand*
Sandpaper - 180 grit is best to start off with.
Breathing Mask (if using orbital sander)
Undercoat - preferably a stain blocker if using it on stained wood.
Paint Colour of Choice
Chosen Wood Stain *if using*
Good Quality Paint Brush
Foam Roller
*or airless spray gun*
Clean Lint Free Rag
Dark Furniture Wax
The first step is to remove any knobs, handles, hinges or hardware attached to the piece. Place these in a bottle with a lid for safe keeping so that the pieces do not get lost. If you think you will forget how the hardware went onto the piece take a few photos to jog your memory to help you put it back together at the end.
Next sand the piece of furniture to remove any glossy surfaces to allow the undercoat and top coat of paint to stick properly to the wood. Make sure you are in an open space where it will not matter if dust is created. I tend to do mine outside to allow for breathing space and to let the dust fly away in the wind. If you miss this step you could be in for disaster at the end with paint peeling or rubbing off. So do it right the first time and it will save you endless trouble in the long run. If you want to create a stained wooden top like I am for this table it is necessary to sand back the table top back to bare wood. I would suggest doing this with an electric sander because if you tried to do it by hand you would be there ALL day long. If you have layers and layers of paint to remove you can try using paint stripper to get the majority of the paint off before going onto sanding back the remaining paint.
Once you have completed the sanding process give it a good dust off with a brush and wipe it over with a damp rag to remove any built up residue from sanding. If you are going for the two tone look with a stained top and a painted base I would suggest staining the top before going ahead to paint the base. This will stop the stain dripping onto a newly painted base and having you to re-paint it again to fix up these mistakes. I use Cabots Interior Waterbased Stain to stain my furniture with. I have found it easy to apply, quick drying and I love the colour range that they have. You can buy pre-tinted colours in this range or buy a tint base and get it tinted to you specified colour. I chose a lovely chocolate stain for this table as I wanted something rich and lustrous to contrast with the light white base of the table. I recommend reading the instructions on the back of the tin before going any further with applying the stain.
The first step in apply the stain is to make sure the table is thoroughly clean and free of any dirt or dust. I then wipe the top over with a soaking wet rag so that the table top is slightly damp. By doing this it will stop the stain from soaking in too much allowing you control over how dark the stain will be. If the table top was dry it will soak it up very quickly leaving you with a stronger colour than you may of originally wanted.
Using a good quality paint brush, brush the stain onto the top in the direction of the wood grain. Working quickly use long firm strokes applying the stain evenly along the top in sections. It is important that you work quickly when doing this otherwise it will not look good when you have applied stain to areas that have already dried. It is better to apply a lighter coat on your first round and applying a second one later to build up the colour rather than a thick coat to start off with and find out that you are unhappy with how dark it has turned out.
Let the stain dry for the allotted amount of time that the tin says. I think it is something like 5 minutes but I cannot remember. The longer you leave the stain on the darker it will be. Get your clean lint free cloth ready to wipe back the stain and reveal your lovely stained wooden top.
Wipe the stain off in the direction of the grain of wood as this allows for a nice finish and won't leave any wipe marks. The first coat of stain may sometimes look a little bit patch but don't stress as after applying a second coat it will meld together nicely. Leave the first coat to dry for an hour or two before applying a second coat in the same way as the first leaving out wiping it over with the water soaked rag as this is no longer necessary.
Once you are happy with the colour of the stained top let it dry for a day before covering and taping up with newspaper ready to paint the base. By doing this you are protecting the stained top from any accidental paint splatters that may occur during the painting process. Once the top is all snugly wrapper up it is time to get painting the base of the table. I paint a coat or two of the Smart Prime stain blocker undercoat to stop anything leeching through to the top coat. Once this has dried I apply two coats of my chosen top coat leaving any hour or so in between each coat. Once you are happy with the finished paint colour give it a little sand here and there to rough up the piece if you are going for the rustic look. Places to sand would be along the edges and bottom of the legs, around the edge of drawers and along the sides of the table. Once you are happy with that remove the newspaper to finish off the table top.
To finish the table top off I then use a furniture wax to give it a lovely shiny, lustrous finish. To apply the wax simply use a lint free cloth or specialty fine steel wool wiping the wax in the direction of the wood grain. Leave the wax for 2-5 minutes to slightly dry and then with a clean lint free rag buff the wax in the direction of the wood grain for a shiny finish.
The last thing to complete the look of the table is to either add back on the old knobs/handles or replace them with new ones. I opted to paint my existing golds knobs in a matte black using Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint. This saved me money in buying new knobs and finished off the look nicely.
I hope this little tutorial gives you a little confidence to step out and get that furniture project done that has been lurking in the wings for sometime. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me or for more immediate answers pop over to my facebook page and post a question on my wall. Don't expect perfection on your first project as it does take time to master the process, however be proud of your efforts and the fact you repurposed an old piece of furniture into something fabulous!

|Pressure still on Bruins in difficult matchup with Capitals
|04.08.15 at 1:04 pm ET
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Claude Julien said he watched "a couple periods" of Tuesday night's Penguins-Senators game. Interestingly enough, so did the Penguins.
"That third period wasn't what I expected," he added after Wednesday's morning skate.
By now, he probably should have expected it. The Senators came back from from a 3-0 deficit with a goal in the second period and two more in the third to force overtime, where Mark Stone scored his second goal of the night to give Ottawa two huge points and keep the pressure on the Bruins. The fact that Pittsburgh picked up a point in the process on a night in which Detroit jumped back into the third playoff spot in the Atlantic Division didn't help either.
Had the Senators lost in regulation to the Penguins, the Bruins could have wrapped up a playoff spot with a win over the Capitals Wednesday. Now, the Bruins need as many or more points in their final three games than the Senators get in their final two.
The Bruins and Senators are currently tied with 95 points. If the Senators are to win out, the Bruins would need to earn four points, with at least one of those victories coming in regulation or overtime. That's what's required to finish ahead of the Senators.
Of course, both teams could still get in and another could slip out. The Penguins are at 96 points on the season through 80 games, while the Red Wings (97 points in 80 games) and Islanders (98 points in 80 games) remain at risk to miss the playoffs.
All of the teams with whom the Bruins are competing for a spot in the postseason have played 80 games. Wednesday night's tilt against the Capitals, who have already secured a playoff spot but would still benefit from two points for the sake of positioning, is Boston's 80th game. Winning in regulation or overtime would allow the B's to breathe far easier heading into their final two games.
"We've been playing kind of playoff hockey in the last 10, 15 games, so nothing's going to change in these last three games," David Krejci said.
"The good thing is that we control our own destiny, and if we win all three games then we don't have to look at other teams," he added. "It's a pretty big game tonight, so we'll try to get two points and move on to Florida tomorrow."
Getting two points won't be easy. Braden Holtby is expected to start for the Capitals Wednesday, and the Bruins have yet to get a puck past him in two meetings this season. The last time the teams met, a first-period Brad Marchand penalty led to a goal for Washington's NHL-best power play that decided the March 15 contest.
"We've got to be a little bit better than we were last time," Julien said. "It took us a while; they had a good start and it took us a while to get ourselves in the game. They got an early power play goal and then it stayed like that for a while."
That is, until a Nate Schmidt shot went off Gregory Campbell's hand and past Tuukka Rask. From there, Braden Holtby completed his second shutout of the season against the Bruins with a 32-save blanking.
"We have to have a better start and manage the puck well against these guys. I think we can spend some time in the o-zone if we manage the puck better than we did in here last time and keep our feet moving, and at the same time, respect their offense. To me it's going to be a man's game tonight and if you want to play this kind of game, you've got to be ready to put everything on the line."
|Experience proves irrelevant for Bruins in first round of playoffs
|04.26.12 at 2:14 am ET
In the days leading up to the decisive Game 7 between the Bruins and Capitals, there was a plethora of talk about experience — mainly that the Bruins had it and were thus the favorites while the Capitals did not.
A quick look at the history books reflects that attitude. The Capitals were 1-3 in Game 7s since 2008 while the Bruins were 3-3, and the Bruins won all three of those Game 7s last season en route to their Stanley Cup championship. According to the history books, the Bruins had a better idea of how to win Game 7 than the Capitals did.
But even a cursory glance at the Bruins' supposed experience revealed how much the Bruins were lacking in that area. In 2011, Nathan Horton had two of the Game 7 game-winning goals, and Patrice Bergeron had one. In 2012, Horton was not in the lineup, as he missed the playoffs with a concussion. Bergeron was limited in Game 7 by an undisclosed injury that prevented him from taking faceoffs and slowed him somewhat from the relatively healthy player he was in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.
In the end, long-term experience did not benefit the Bruins, as they bowed out of the playoffs with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Capitals. Instead, it was more short-term experience, the experience gained from the other six games of the series and the games leading up to the playoffs, that provided a more accurate view of how Game 7 would go.
Throughout the series, the Capitals consistently beat the Bruins in blocked shots and faceoffs, small details that often reflect the strength of a team's focus and desire. The Bruins outshot the Capitals, but the quality of each team's scoring chances remained similar. Boston's key players like David Krejci and Milan Lucic continued to be quiet while the load fell to players like Andrew Ference, who was 12th on the team in scoring during the regular season and the second-leading scorer in the postseason.
'At the end of the day when you look at your team, your team wasn't playing its best hockey in this series,' Bruins coach Claude Julien said. 'Before this day started, you just hoped that you would get through this Game 7 and pick some momentum up as you moved forward in the playoffs.'
The Capitals already had their momentum before the playoffs. Washington did not clinch a playoff spot until the penultimate game of the season, and it had to fight hard for every victory. The Capitals went 13-9 in their last 22 games of the regular season, and eight of those 22 games were decided in overtime or by a shootout while 16 of the 22 games were decided by two goals or less.
In contrast, the Bruins went 12-10 in their last 22 games. Four of those games were decided in overtime or by a shootout, equaling the total of overtime games in the first round series of the playoffs.
'We've felt like it was playoff hockey for the last 30 games to make sure we get in the playoffs,' Capitals forward Mike Knuble said. 'It wasn't like we had to throw on a switch and start playing again in the playoffs, start playing a different way.'
The Bruins did have to start playing differently in the playoffs. Like many teams, the Bruins rested key and injured players after clinching a berth in order to be fresh for the postseason.
The epitome of inexperience in the series was Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby, and he also proved that a lengthier resume does not always lead to success. With seven postseason starts, Holtby equaled the amount of starts he made during the season for the Capitals. Although the Bruins did not necessarily test him thoroughly, he still earned a .940 save percentage in the postseason, which was better than the very experienced Tim Thomas's .923 save percentage.
'I was saying before we even came into the playoffs that it was good for this team to have a race to get into the playoffs,' Holtby said. 'It really made us buckle down and not take things for granted, and that was a big thing.'
Now, perhaps because of that experience gained in the race to make the playoffs, it is the Capitals, not the Bruins, who have kept alive their hopes of winning the Stanley Cup.
|Last chance: Bruins must expose Braden Holtby in Game 7
|04.24.12 at 6:37 pm ET
The Bruins have one more chance to get to Braden Holtby. If they do it, they should be able to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals against either Ottawa, Florida or Philadelphia. If they don't, they'll be bounced in the first round for the first time in four years.
For the B's, two of their three losses to Washington have been products of the team not being able to get clean looks against the Washington rookie. They've struggled to get legitimate shots by the shot-blocking Capitals and through to the net, so their bids either haven't made it to Holtby, or he's been able to see them perfectly.
In recent games, the Bruins have fared better. Though they dropped Game 5 at home, they got a goal on a rush (Dennis Seidenberg from Milan Lucic), a hard drive to the net (Brad Marchand) and missile from the point (Johnny Boychuk). In Game 6, the B's put four pucks past Holtby, the last of which came on a rush in the form of Tyler Seguin's game-winner.
"It definitely took us a while, but you've got to give it to him," Marchand said of Holtby. "He's been playing great hockey and making a lot of big saves, but we're doing a pretty good job of getting bodies in front now and finding different ways to score on him. We're going to have to try and do the same thing tomorrow."
Holtby has had an impressive .935 save percentage in the series, but his numbers have been helped by the fact that he's had performances such as Game 2 (43 saves) and Game 4 (44 saves) in which he faced a large total of shots but faced few legitimate scoring chances. Many of the shots Holtby stopped in those games came from outside the perimeter due to Washington's excellent shot-blocking and overall defensive play.
Now, having seen enough of Holtby, the B's hope they break through and have a high-scoring affair for once (no team has scored more than four goals in a game this series, and each game has been decided by one goal). One thing to watch is whether the B's, if given the opportunity, take advantage of Holtby's agressive style. In two overtime plays Sunday — Zdeno Chara's early bid and Seguin's game-winner — the Bruins were careful to hold onto the puck until the last possible second in an attempt to get the goaltender to challenge them. It didn't work for Chara, but Seguin kept Boston's playoff chances alive by doing it.
David Krejci, who scored on the power play in Sunday's Game 6 victory, agrees that the B's have gotten progressively better looks against Holtby. Krejci was notably frustrated after Game 4 at his inability to produce, but he feels that he and the offense as a whole have worked harder to make the 22-year-old goalie's job difficult.
"I think we had a tougher start, but the last couple of games, it was getting along," Krejci said. "We've just got to keep it going. It's a Game 7. We've all been there before, so we've just got to go out there, do our best and try to get a win."
|Claude Julien: 'Maybe in trouble, but we're not dead'
|04.22.12 at 10:50 am ET
The Bruins know the refrain by now.
The series isn't over till you win four games.
They repeated it over and over last year on their way to a sixth Stanley Cup title. And Claude Julien repeated it Saturday after a 4-3 gut-puncher at the hands of the Capitals at the Garden.
"Well there's certainly lots of guys in that dressing room that have gone through that and there's some others that are new to our hockey club that have to manage that as good as they can," Julien said. "A guy like [Brian Rolston], he's got some experience so our guys that we've gotten are experienced guys so I don't see that as an issue. We're down 3-2 in the series and most people will tell you, until they win four games, that's when the series is over. So we've got an opportunity to get back into this series and create a Game 7 and that's what we're going to try to do."
There were positives from Saturday that the B's will try to carry over to today in Washington, like Milan Lucic getting in front of the net time and time again in the third period. Lucic's "jam" in the slot created a point-blank chance for Tyler Seguin with 10 minutes left. Only a superhuman effort by Braden Holtby kept the Bruins from a late lead in their own building.
"There are some good things ' I don't think now's the time to start collaborating all those things with players," Julien said. "Sometimes you've got to feel that sting a little bit in order to get yourself ready the next day and we'll address that tomorrow certainly before the game. Still a lot of good things that we did tonight and you look at some of the missed opportunities ' Seguin is one, he had grease tonight and those opportunities were there for him, so that's a positive. You wish he would have put some of those in and it's a different outcome. But building on the positives, and as I said, we're maybe in trouble but we're not dead and we're certainly going to make tomorrow a game that's going to create a Game 7 for us."
Johnny Boychuk finally blew a cannon past Holtby to tie the game on the power play to tie the game, 3-3. He sees a lot of hope.
"I thought we came out really well," he said. "Again, [Holtby] played extremely well ' he made that one stop and stretched out and got it with his toe. We did play well, but it wasn't good enough. They scored more goals than us and that's the end of the day. We lost the game and [today], we have to win."
|Braden Holtby shines in NHL playoffs debut
|04.13.12 at 12:58 am ET
After the Bruins' morning skate on Thursday, forward Chris Kelly fielded a question about what he expected to see from the Capitals goaltender, 22-year-old Braden Holtby, considering Holtby was so inexperienced. Kelly responded by saying he did not think Holtby was too inexperienced, as he thought the young goalie had already played in about 100 NHL games.
But Thursday night marked Holtby's 22nd NHL start, not his 101st. In his NHL playoffs debut, Holtby held the Bruins offense scoreless for 61:18 in a game in which his Capitals were heavily out-shot. He stopped 29 of the 30 shots he faced and held the B's to 0-for-4 on the power play. If others, like Kelly, did not know just how inexperienced Holtby had been, they too would have guessed he'd had been in the NHL for a while.
'It was a great game by him,' Capitals defenseman John Carlson said. 'He held us in it the whole way. We had our chances and we didn't really cash in on a few good chances. He kept us in there the whole game, and you can't ask a goalie to keep you in there for 80 minutes of hockey every game.'
Holtby's night got off to a fast start. The Bruins came out of the gate with energy, and while they were able to force Holtby out of his crease at times, they were never able to beat him.
In the beginning of the second period, the Bruins enjoyed nearly five consecutive minutes of power play time and peppered Holtby with shots from all angles, but Holtby came through for Washington. After the power plays came to an end, the Bruins maintained their pressure on the Washington net. Read the rest of this entry »

The fifth World Cup was held in Australia after New Zealand baulked then reneged on the terms of their sub-hosting agreement.
The subsequent Eichelbaum Report censured the NZRU council before chairman Murray McCaw and chief executive David Rutherford resigned.
If that was messy there was worse to come as the All Blacks went in search of on-field World Cup success on neighbouring soil.
Meanwhile in Europe, England were preparing like never before. Clive Woodward had spent seven years working towards claiming the trophy, promising to cover every detail in a campaign reputed to have cost close to 20 million pounds.
In the year before the tournament, England hosted and beat all three Southern Hemisphere nations, though each visiting country rested a number of players.
England had won the Grand Slam and since their last World Cup defeat had claimed 35 victories in 40 matches. They ventured Down Under early in World Cup year and beat both the All Blacks and Wallabies.
England were in a good space, confident and assured this would be their year, even if their Southern Hemisphere foes did not share the same view.
Eddie Jones, the sparky former hooker was in charge of the Wallabies, speaking with the type of rhetoric used by Alan Jones and Bob Dwyer in their heydays.
The Springboks were in erratic form and failed miserably on their Northern Hemisphere end-of-year tour in 2002. Later coach Rudolf Straeuli received scathing attention for the methods he condoned to train his side in military-style conditions.
He recruited members of the elite Police Task Force to devise four days of living hell for prospective players at Kamp Staaldraad. Players were stripped and forced at gunpoint to carry loads decorated with England and New Zealand flags, then ordered into freezing water to pump up balls underwater while they heard monotonous recordings of the New Zealand haka or God Save the Queen.
Italy were being coached by former All Black prop Brad Johnstone, but he was embroiled in numerous ructions with the players and was eventually replaced by fellow All Black John Kirwan.
The Scots were in disarray, while post-Graham Henry Wales were under the command of Steve Hansen but it did not make much difference as they were flogged regularly by England.
Ireland were solid and in winning most of their 10 tests before the tournament had been elevated to No 3 in the world behind England and the All Blacks.
It was left to the French to lower England before the tournament, beating them by a point though Woodward excused that defeat by pointing out he had played his second-string side.
The All Blacks started their search for World Cup honours under the combined command of Wayne Smith and Tony Gilbert.
Smith had survived the '99 coaching cull while Gilbert had come from a strong teaching background and success in the Otago region. They introduced Todd Blackadder as the new All Blacks captain, a deal that lasted a year before Anton Oliver was shoehorned into the role.
While the changes were rung there were continuing flaws against their Tri-Nations rivals.
After the All Blacks fell to the Wallabies in Sydney midway through 2001, Smith told his Rugby Union employers he was uncertain about his coaching future with the side.
The NZRU put that to the test asking a variety of contenders, including Smith, to pitch for the job. When the interviews were done and the votes sorted, former Waikato and All Black loose forward John Mitchell was appointed as coach. He collected Robbie Deans as his running mate and they went about their first mission of picking a squad for an end-of-year tour to Ireland, Scotland and Argentina.
Some big names were culled, including Christian Cullen, Jeff Wilson and Taine Randell, as the coaches looked for a change in players, style and effectiveness.
They found gold in Richie McCaw and Aaron Mauger and controversy in the bizarre circumstances of Brad Thorn's selection then withdrawal.
They also found an upward trend in results which revealed before they travelled to the UK at the end of 2002, they had lost one test (by two points offshore against the Wallabies) in 11 internationals.
A total of 21 All Blacks were left behind to help them recharge for the World Cup season and among the new selections, the selectors found some real nuggets. Lock Ali Williams, No 8 Rodney So'oialo, hooker Keven Mealamu and prop Tony Woodcock were new faces on the test scene, men who went on to strong international careers. The selectors continued to invest in newer players in World Cup year as they mixed experience with verve.
Others slipped into the mix for the first time were Mils Muliaina, Joe Rokocoko, Ma'a Nonu, Daniel Carter, Thorn and Corey Flynn.
There was a glitch when England visited and with two players in the sinbin at one stage, managed to hold on for a narrow win in appalling conditions at Wellington.
The result did not ruffle the All Blacks and in private that night the coaches were buoyant they had come so close against the Grand Slam champions in foul weather.
Others may have come to the same conclusion when the All Blacks then dealt to Wales and France in New Zealand before putting 50 points past both the Boks and Wallabies offshore. Those results and the dazzling interplay the All Blacks produced suggested they could threaten the title.
Mitchell and Deans became more aloof from the media, the public and their employers.
While the side glowed, the muttering grew about management arrogance.
But the All Black coaches pushed on with their brinkmanship believing their dogged attitude would ensure a World Cup triumph and their future.

Paris Hilton Has ADD
According to TMZ, the mysterious medical illness that was the cause of Paris Hilton's release from jail to serve her time under house arrest is Attention Deficit Disorder:
We're told Hilton is taking Adderall for her ADD. Although our sources were not specific, we're told Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood. As a result, Hilton was having severe panic attacks in jail. There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell.
Hmm, now I might feel sorry for her if I didn't know that her dad is already trying to sell the concept of a "Get Out of Jail" party for Paris to a club in Vegas. These people are so gross. Also, I have emotional ADD, so I've already pretty much forgotten that I was feeling slightly bad for her at the beginning of this paragraph.

I have a flat mole on the right side of my nose which has been there since birth. I always thought it was a birthmark but lately realize it wasn't and is considering getting it removed. I do not mind scarring just want it removed as im tired of being starred at weirdly, called names such as ''moley'' etc. Its lowering my self esteem and i have little or no confidence whatsoever in what i want to do career wise. What procedure method would be best for removing it?
What Are The Options Available For Removing Deep Flat Moles? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Mole needs surgical excision
Removing this mole completely will require surgical excision. Excisions in this area are standard procedure for Dermatologists, particularly those with Mohs fellowship training. Wounds in this area can be repaired either by moving nearby skin into the wound, applying a skin graft, or allowing it to heal in on it's own. A scar is inevitable and it's appearance will improve over the coarse of at least one year. Laser resurfacing procedures can effectively minimize the appearance of the scar but would have be used with caution on your darker skin type. Daily zinc containing sunscreen is also critical after the excision to minimize redness and pigment darkening of the scar. In response to your community comment, there are no topical creams that will remove this mole, no matter what they advertise.
Mole removal
For a complete removal of a mole, the only option for you is to have the mole completely surgically excised. This can be done under local anesthetic. I would advise that you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
Dark moles do well excised and the edges dermabraded.
Excision of your mole under local anesthesia is your really only option to remove it and I would dermabrade the edges of the wound to help blend the scar as nice as possible. Cost $500. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Options to remove flat moles
The best method to remove a flat mole is to surgically excise it. The location of your mole makes the excision a little more difficult in terms of closing it. I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to discuss the possible surgical excision and go over the different surgical options.

Mark Gomes, a SA contributor, posted an article about Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:HIMX). The article talked about Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Glass and the likelihood that Himax could be a major supplier. The stock shot up more than 30% and it seems it was mainly due to the article. Gomes quoted Karl Guttag, a highly regarded expert in the field of integrated circuits. Gomes mentions that Karl's blog may have been referring to Himax. However, Karl responded to the article by saying it was unlikely that Google is using a Himax LCOS panel. Karl mentioned that there are other players in the space that are more likely to be the supplier for Google Glass.
Regardless of the blog posting, Mark Gomes makes a very strong case for Himax. Gomes also has an exceptional track record with picking small-cap stocks that essentially generate significant returns. I personally follow him and I encourage readers to do the same.
I found this topic very interesting given the amount of hype behind Google Glass. If Google is able to open a market for eye-wear technology, we could potential witness a shift on how we see the world. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Karl Guttag himself to discuss the future of Google Glass and potential suppliers in the space.
Mr. Guttag has over 34 years of experience in the integrated circuit field. He has been named an inventor on a 145 patents. Many of these patents are for essential elements such as image and graphics processing. I could go on about Mr. Guttag's experience, but I think my hands would eventually cramp. The following is my interview with Karl Guttag.
Mr. Guttag, thank you for taking time out to speak to us. It means a lot to our readers that you could join us. I want to go ahead and delve right into the topic if that's okay with you. Google Glass seems like it could be a game changer for wearable technology.
Q) Do you consider Google Glass to essentially change the way we look at things or is this technology we have seen before?
A) Certainly, the technology for small light weight near eye displays has been around since the late 1990's (I helped build a 1024x768 color near eye display in 1998) and the "wearable computing" concept has been around even longer. So from my perspective, I see it as being more evolutionary, a different take on an old concept.
And from what I have seen so far, it still has many of the same issues that limited wide spread adoption in the past. The least of the problems is the display itself, as the display technology has existed for a long time and in many ways what I have seen of the Google Glasses the display itself is a step backwards. The biggest issues are all related to human factors. Issues like how you wear them and do they fit (people's faces are very different); how do you input to them; do you look like a total geek wearing them; do you look shifty eye talking to people? Even little things like what do you do with them when you are not using them but have them with you; generally a headset takes up more room than a smart phone in your pocket and will get broken if it is not in a case. Frankly, I can't see people giving up so much of the functionality of their smart phones for something like Google Glass, so you have to start thinking of it like it is a bulky peripheral.
Another factor is that the current Google Glass is monocular (only seen in one eye). This takes some getting used to using. This works best if you have it in your dominant eye (one of your two eyes will dominate over the other). Additionally, from all the demonstrations I have seen, you constantly have to look up and to the corner to see the image and I wonder how your eyes will feel after doing this for long periods of time.
By the way, going binocular (a display for each eye) just brings in a different set of problems. Then you have issues of whether the display is see-through or not. See through is good for augmented reality but lousy for looking at details and image quality. With "see through" you can only reliably display low resolution high contrast content. I want to emphasis that there is no perfect solution, just different solutions with different problems with a head mount display. Each type monocular, binocular, see-through or opaque has its own drawbacks. Google Glass chose one option which has its well known drawbacks.
One other big human factors issue Google Glass seems to have given up on is working for a person with glasses. This is no small problem of optical physics and packaging. If they want it to work with different faces (key is the distance between the bridge of the nose and the eye) and different glasses can result it bigger and bulkier optics. A sleeker design is much easier when you ignore people with glasses which Google Glass, at least for the moment, is doing. Their saying to "bolt it on the side of your glasses" doesn't work in practice.
Sorry for rambling on, but from what I see, Google Glass leaves me/us with more questions than answers. And the more I think about it, the more problems I see with it. Honestly, I'm not trying to trash Google Glass, it is just that I seen many huge unsolved problems with it.
Q) Based on your blog, we know that Google Glass will only be putting frames on the upper corner of the eye. You mentioned initially that the panel in the Google Glass prototype was a match to Himax. Even the 320x240 pixel display was something Himax would make. Why is Himax NOT likely to be the supplier?
A) What Google is showing in their latest demonstration videos is putting the image on the upper corner of the field of view. This is consistent with the low resolution display device of the Himax panel in the early prototypes. Also if the device is only to be a see-through display device, a high resolution, high quality display is a waste as you can only reliably display simple basic information. You will note in the latest Google Glass demo videos, they are showing simple text and not web or even mobile web pages.
The reason I wrote that Himax is not the likely supplier is that the Himax panel in the early prototypes is reflective LCOS and this requires an optical engine with a beam splitter with the panel on one side, an LED light source on another side, and third side (of a square) for the light to come out. This configuration is kind of bulky and not consistent with the newer Google Glass prototype. A transparent display device (one there the light passes through the display rather than being reflective off it) with its straight through optical path would much more easily fit in the later prototypes that Google is now showing.
My point about it not being LCOS is based on size, shape and function. Without getting into all the technical reasons, LCOS's advantages come over transmissive display devices when the image it going to be high resolution and/or brighter.
Mark Gomes of Seeking Alpha wrote that Himax in his research has spent the R&D money to develop transparent panels although Himax has not publicized it. If this is true, then Himax could be supplying a transparent panel to the new design.
Q) There seems to be a concern that the display could disrupt the wearer's line of sight. Given that the pixels are 320x240, would that size obstruct the line of sight. I saw the picture of Glass using navigation, but wouldn't checking items such as email require a bigger display?
A) There are all just all kinds of trade-offs. If the display is outside your line of sight then there can be eye strain from having to look up and out. The amount of obstruction would be based on how big they optically enlarge the image. Based on the newer demonstration videos they are not making it the image very big but rather filling up only a portion of the field of view. Making the image fill up a larger field of view would tend to make the optics bigger.
Definitely there are limitations with having a small and/or low resolution display. Reading anything more than simple images will be very difficult and forget about browsing today's web pages. Furthermore having a transparent display device means that the contrast will be low so high resolution content would be unreadable any way. To see contrast to details you have to block out the light to both eyes (I can't see people carrying a black card to put in front of their face when they want to read something).
Q) You mentioned LCOS display would not be a good option due to a simpler transmissive panel made by Kopin (NYSE:KOP). Can you please clarify why Kopin's transmissive panel is better suited and is more likely to be in the Google Glass?
A) It is the simpler optical path afforded by a transmissive display that is the big size advantage. I named Kopin because they were well known for making such transmissive devices. Sony and Epson also make small transmissive displays used in camera viewfinders. I would expect there are other companies (perhaps including Himax) that make transmissive displays.
Q) Based on your comments, you said Himax failed with LCOS due to an issue in an analog design. What was the exact failure in the design?
What I wrote is that Himax failed with high resolution color sequential LCOS. Back around 2010 they appears to disappear from the market for high resolution devices. I don't know of any significant products in which they were used. Also in 2010 they bought Spatial Photonics which has a MEMs mirror array technology very similar to TI's DLP which seemed to signal that they have given up on field sequential LCOS. The market they seem to have was for their low resolution color filter devices that the sold primarily in China and India.
Himax's LCOS used analog drive technology that was a variation of the technology developed for LCD panels. For a number of technical reasons there are advantages of the digital drive particularly for field sequential LCOS at higher resolutions.
Q) We know Kopin has already made similar products such as the Golden-i, which is mainly used for industrial and military applications. Kopin has already been developing eye-wear technology with Motorola Solutions. Do you believe there are agreements that would prevent Kopin from providing transmissive panels to Google?
A) I have no way of knowing what agreements may or may not be in place today but I doubt there would be a prohibition. I would expect that no good business person would give an exclusive to a low volume application that would preclude pursuing a high volume application. I think a bigger issue is whether it was a profitable business to both parties.
Q) On the profitability side of things, what are the average selling prices for these panels? What's the cost to produce them? Does Kopin have the resources to actually mass produce these products?
A) I would think that the market value for a low resolution color filter panel would be in the $10 range, but Mark Gomes has reported that it may be more like $15. According to Mr. Gomes, Himax would also be making something on the optical engine as well and if what he says is true then Himax would be getting about $25 per unit. But Mr. Gomes didn't have this tied to any volume. The big question would be what would the optical engine including a low resolution display device cost in volume and I would think it would be closer to $15. Then you have to ask yourself what is the potential ramp up in volume for these products. I'm having a hard time getting a very big final number by multiplying the price of the engine by any rational volume I would expect out of Google Glass in the next several years. If I multiply even $25 by 1 million units which I think are both on the high side for the next two years I only get $25M which would be OK for a small startup, but not earth shattering for a large business.
Kopin, Epson, and Sony would certainly have no problems manufacturing the number of panels. They have already been doing these kinds of numbers for electronic viewfinders in cameras.
Q) Do you have an ending remarks you would like to add for our readers? Anything related to Google Glass, Kopin, or Himax?
A) Unfortunately, I don't see there being a huge business opportunity with Google Glass for at least the next several years. I think Google is going to be feeling their way around all the issues with human interfaces using a wearable display. There are big well known (to people in the field) problems that Google Glass does has not solve that will greatly limit its wide spread adoption.
I'm not a "flat earth" person that does not believe in progress and new technology, heck I was involved in early video games (in the late 1970's), early home computers, some of the first graphics accelerators, multimedia processors.
Perhaps I know too much of the problems with near to eye displays, but based on what I don't see solved in Google Glass, I think it is still just a work in progress experiment and not ready for "prime time" in the consumer market. At best, I see devices like Google Glass as being a peripheral product that would plug into say a smart phone and this drops the potential volumes significantly.
This means that the volumes are likely to be small while the price of components that are somewhat mature will be relatively low which does not add up to a great business opportunity in terms of revenue and profit.
Mr. Guttag, thank you for taking time to speak with us. We often hear about analysts with major banks discussing potential technology shifts, but I prefer to speak to an industry specialist such as yourself to provide insight. It was a pleasure having you here. I would also like to encourage our readers to ask questions in the comments section below. Mr. Guttag will do his best to respond to any questions you may have.
Readers should follow Mr. Guttag on his blog, which is found here. He offers valuable information on the integrated circuit market that you can't find anywhere else.

E! News is reporting today that the wedding between Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman is a mere hours away. Despite the fact that the wedding has been kept very hush hush, we have recently seen pics of Drew trying on wedding veils and yesterday we saw her attend her final dress fitting at the Chanel store in Beverly Hills, so we knew that the wedding is close. E! News sources have confirmed that the rehearsal dinner was held last night at San Ysidro Ranch on a patio at sunset, which means, the wedding could be TODAY. Read on for more details about today's supposed nuptials.
But, before the Going the Distance star says, "I do" to Will Kopelman today, she and celebs like Cameron Diaz headed up to Montecito, Calif. for quite the snazzy rehearsal dinner yesterday. A source tells E! News the rehearsal dinner was held at San Ysidro Ranch on a patio at sunset Friday overlooking citrus trees and a lily pond, and about 70 guests enjoyed cocktails as the sun went down.
While many of Kopelman's family members are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in the area and Barrymore's friends are residing at San Ysidro Ranch, all of the guests were treated to Santa Barbara olives, chocolate truffles and bouquets of lavender in their rooms when they retired for the evening.
As expected, details of the wedding are being kept under wraps. We still don't know for sure that the wedding is in fact taking place today, but it sounds like E! News has some kind of official confirmation. I can't wait to see what Drew wears on her big day, but we do know that she is going to be clad in Chanel. I'm secretly hoping that once the wedding is over and everything is all official we will finally get confirmation that Drew and Will are expecting their first child. Do you think the wedding is going to be happening today??

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington, in an interview on WEEI's Red Sox Hot Stove Show, said, "There's still work to do" regarding negotiations for a new contract with designated hitter David Ortiz with the hours ticking down until the Ortiz has the right to negotiate with other clubs on Saturday at 12:01 a.m., but that the team remains "hopeful" that the 36-year-old will be back for an 11th season in Boston.
"We're working on it and we've been talking to David since the end of the season. It's been a good conversation and everyone knows that we'd like to keep him. I think there's mutual interest," Cherington said. "We've had a lot of talks and we've made up some ground in some areas, but we still have some work to do. We'll keep working on it. If we get past tomorrow night, we'll continue to work on it. We remain hopeful we'll keep him in a Red Sox uniform next year.
"We have a guy who's been here for a long time and he's been an important part of the team and a guy we want to keep. It's just a matter of trying to find a deal that works for him and works for us. We're still working on that and hopeful we can get something done."
In 90 games in 2012, Ortiz hit .318 with a .415 OBP, a .611 slugging mark, a 1.026 OPS and 23 home runs.

text: I installed the Momo shiftknob that matches so well with the WRX but now my shiftboot just hangs loose. Before it was sort of connected to the shiftknob but now it sort of is just sitting there and doesn't look as professional as the stock look was. Is there any way to fix this short of wrapping duct tape around the metal part of the shifter to thicken it or something.

After a first date on a Saturday night, if it gets past 11.48am on Monday without a text or call then there's not much chance of a second outing, a survey has found.
Modern communications mean sticking to the so-called three-day rule - the amount of time to wait after a date before getting in touch without appearing desperate - is likely to leave you on the shelf.
The LoveGeist survey, commissioned by the company behind dating site Match.com, found the average wait is now half this time - just 1.52 days - and the most likely moment is 11.48am on Monday.
Kate Taylor, Match.com's relationship expert, said: 'The three-day rule might have worked when all we had were landlines, but technology has revolutionised how we date.
"When everybody takes their mobile phone everywhere, waiting three days to get in touch just makes you look snooty or, worse, like you have run out of credit.'
And when it comes to who does the asking, traditional gender roles in dating still hold true, with 22 per cent of women waiting to be contacted first compared to just 5 per cent of men.

Wauwatosa residents followed the state and the nation and favored Barack Obama for president by more than two percentage points, 50.6 percent to Mitt Romney's 48.2 percent, a margin close to the total vote across the United States.
Obama won 15,220 Wauwatosa votes, just 709 more than Romney.
Results remain unofficial until certified by a board of canvassers, which met after press deadline.
Democrat Tammy Baldwin won the Senate seat to be left vacant by Herb Kohl, drawing 51 percent of the statewide vote, compared to former Gov. Tommy Thompson's 46 percent. But in Wauwatosa, Baldwin finished second by 72 votes out of almost 30,000 cast.
U.S. Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner retained his seat in a landslide throughout his district with 68 percent of the vote. Tosans, though, gave him 55 percent of almost 27,000 votes cast. Democratic challenger Dave Heaster won 45 percent of city votes.
Democrat State Sen. Lena Taylor, whose 4th District includes a piece of northern Wauwatosa, easily won re-election with 87 percent of more than 75,000 votes cast in the district, beating Independent Dave King. In Wauwatosa, she prevailed with 586 votes to King's 388.
Republican Dale Kooyenga won re-election in the 14th Assembly District with 61 percent of the vote, but in the city, Democratic challenger Chris Rockwood beat Kooyenga by nearly 400 votes out of more than 15,000 cast. The 14th Assembly District encompasses the western half of Wauwatosa.
On the east side of the city, Republican Rob Hutton won the Assembly District 13 seat being vacated by Dave Cullen, beating Democrat John Pokrandt with 61 percent of the vote. In Wauwatosa, Pokrandt fared better, losing to Hutton by just more than 500 votes out of about 11,000 cast.
Turnout in Wauwatosa was strong, with 88.63 percent of registered voters showing up at the polls. That beat the last presidential election's turnout by two percentage points, Deputy City Clerk Susan Van Hoven said. Total ballots cast numbered 30,182, with about 9,100 of those absentee ballots, more than 2,000 more than in the 2008 presidential election.
Van Hoven said the absentee ballots, which are sealed in envelopes and require individual entry, added hours of labor. She said that last week absentee ballot handling went on until as late as 8 p.m. every night, and, on Friday, until 9 p.m. Clerk employees worked all day Saturday as well, she said.
Van Hoven said the election kept the office busy until 1 a.m Wednesday.

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
I started this post and my music tastes are so varied- depends on my mood- never thought I'd say (starting at Gershwein (sp), Sinatra, to (of course) the Beatles, Stones, Doors, Cream, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Patti Smith, Blondie and to the more contemporary: Jamiroquai, Greenday, John Butler Trio, Silverchair (from my home town) and, of course, what Aussie would not add "Acca Dacca" (AC/DC) for a good "head banging" session?
Question: Early 80s (thereabouts) who sang "Our House" (in the middle of our street... Was a ??? Nice place to meet)? Had it on vinyl. Can't find it and want to replace it on DVD. A HUGE cyber hug to whoever can help me out.

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
Sabs, thanks so much for your prompt response. Crazy thing is, as soon as I saw CSN, I went to my CDs and it's on the "Carry On" album. So I do have it!
Thank you, also, for pointing out my error. Have a lot on my mind at the moment, making me more vague than a house plant. Am pretty vague at the best of times.
Next question: Have another funeral to organise. Does anyone know who sang "Calling all Angels"? Could have sworn it was k.d.lang but couldn't find it on any of her CDs that I own.
Will with-hold the cyber hug at your request, sab. Thanks for your help.

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
Hi Sabs, just about to answer my own question (googled it). Came up with same as you. The Jane S. With k.d. Is more appropriate for the occasion, I think. Have to find the CD and availability now- 3.30am Saturday here. Thanks for helping out Am starting to think I should ditch the fancy animal treat businesses and go into funeral arranging and deceased estate management.

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
Hi all, the "event" was meant to be last Friday. Couldn't get Church or crematorium time. Just drags on...start of colder weather increases demand, unfortunately.
Tried both sites that Sabs (thank you ) provided but couldn't find the band/ title of the following lyrics:
'Cause tomorrow, we'll fight the break of dawn,
"Cause tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll be gone ...
Say a prayer...
Anyone able to help out? My brain has turned to jelly.

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
Sabs, you've saved the day again! Missed your post re not responding to non-food requests (thanks, again, btw, for your support re my "Community" thread-wish I'd never started the damned thing).
You declined my previous offer of a cyber hug, so plz, just accept my thanks.
Where do you come up with such great links?
Regardless, thanks!

Re: WHAT'S THE BEST SONG FOR YOU???
Hi Sabs, know we have had our differences but who doesn't? Yep, you were subtle re the "community" thread. Thought, whoa, she's changed but didn't have the time or inclination to read things into what you'd posted. Took it at face value. Wish I hadn't posted the damned thread. Have learnt.
Missed your post,as said, re sticking to food only. Will do the same apart from music and films.
Thanks for your help
