Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons has called for a truce with Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
In a statement sent to the Daily Beast, Simmons said that comments he made in a speech last week in Israel in which he defended his friendship with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan were misinterpreted. Simmons had said that just as Farrakhan had alienated Jews, Foxman had alienated African Americans. An outraged Foxman called the comments by Simmons "outrageous and ugly."
Simmons, a co-founder with Rabbi Marc Schneier of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, said that his comments at the conference were undermining the work he has done on behalf of the Jewish community to build synagogues and promote tolerance.
Foxman has publicly praised Simmons for his outreach work, but also has faulted him for his praise of Farrakhan, who for years has peddled anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. — jta

United Six Review - Entertains intermittently
The first impression that United Six evokes is that it's a mishmash of several Hollywood action fares that show the fists and curves of the fairer sex. But you are proven wrong as the story begins. Sure, United Six has six women essaying pivotal roles, but this is about the heist they carry out successfully. The concept is attention grabbing, but it's the screenplay writing that makes the effort partly engaging, partly so-so, partly amateurish, partly self indulgent.
United Six is the story of six girls living in Bangkok. They are going through a tough phase in their lives. Their dreams are shattered, their aspirations crushed. Out of frustration and anger, they decide to rob a bank. One of the girls, Jia, who was fired from the bank for refusing to sleep with her boss, convinces the others and leads them.
They rent a bakery adjacent to the bank and start digging a tunnel which would lead them to the bank. They soon realize that it's not as easy as it seems like. However, they continue with their mission, but one by one, on one pretext or the other, the girls start getting jittery. Jia continues to motivate them, but finds it getting more and more difficult with every passing hour. Eventually, they decide to call it quits. Next morning, they get the shock of their life when they learn that the bank has been robbed and the cops are hunting for them. The girls are caught in a perilous situation…
There are two things that grab your attention while watching this flick. One, the film is well shot. Two, the interval point and also the culmination [the suspense aspect] catch you by complete surprise. First-time director Vishal Aryan Singh steps into the Abbas-Mustan territory, but being the captain of the ship, he should've ensured that the sequence of events leading to the finale is equally interesting. Like I pointed out earlier, the goings-on vacillate between engaging and non-engaging moments quite rapidly.
Pritam's music is alright, although the placement of songs in the initial reels could've been better. Cinematography [Sugin Mamai] is striking. In fact, the film wears a slick look all through. The six actresses [Parvathy Omanakuttan, Daisy Bopanna, Mahi, Isha Batwe, Luna Lakhar and Pooja Sharma] are passable. In fact, all of them don't really get a chance to display histrionics since the screenplay is erratic.
On the whole, United Six has a fascinating idea which entertains intermittently.

Tajbert retains WBC belt
By Karl Freitag
WBC super featherweight champion Vitali Tajbert (20-1, 6 KOs) retained his world title via nine round technical decision over veteran Hector Velazquez (51-15-2, 35 KOs). Tajbert was cut in round one by an unintentional headbutt and the gash bled for the entire fight. In round nine it was ruled that the cut made it too dangerous for Tajbert to continue and the bout was sent to the scorecards where the champion prevailed 87-83, 88-82, 88-83.

Former WBO heavyweight world champion Siarhei Liakhovich (25-3, 16 KOs) knocked out Evans Quinn (18-4-1, 16 KOs) in round nine of a scheduled ten.
WBO #12 light heavyweight Aleksy Kuziemski (19-1, 4 KOs) showed he's still a factor in the 175lb division, defeating the previously unbeaten and highly regarded Igor Michalkin (11-1, 7 KOs) by ten round unanimous decision. Scores were 97-94, 98-92, 97-93.
Two straight losses for once promising heavyweight prospect Sebastian Köber (19-2, 13 KOs). Markus Tomala (7-2, 3 KOs) won a six round unanimous decision over Köber by scores of 58-56, 59-56, 58-56 to avenge a split decision loss to Köber last October.
2009 world amateur champion Jack Culcay (4-0, 3 KOs) destroyed Isak Tavares (15-9, 5 KOs) in a jr middleweight bout. The fight was stopped at 2:23 of the opening round. Culcay knocked down Tavares three times.
All-action flyweight sensation Pal "Pimpa" Bedak (8-0, 5 KOs) scored a third round TKO over Pedro Cardenas (12-7, 7 KOs).

|Three things that can turn it around for the Bruins
|10.15.09 at 4:42 pm ET
With four road dates packed into their next five games, the Bruins have a chance to prove that ancient hockey axiom correct. There's a great and shining chance for the club to bond together on the normally cold and unforgiving road. Who knew that having a few team dinners at Fleming's Steakhouse in unfamiliar locales could mean so much?
It's obviously not all about some magical road solution waiting for the Bruins in Dallas and Phoenix. It's more about things within the Boston dressing room that need to change. The B's players need to shake themselves out of the snow-blindness caused by a flurry of preseason hype and media predictions that tabbed the Black and Gold as the trendy pick for the Stanley Cup finals.
There's plenty the Bruins can do to turn things around after a 2-3 start to the season that lacked the passion and work ethic inherent in last season's 116-point hockey team. The Bruins are simply beating themselves. It's something that hasn't been a major problem since the structured, disciplined Claude Julien took over the coaching reigns three years ago. It's also something the Bruins are much too talented to be doing.
"We talked about it and addressed a lot of different things that we can do to get better a lot over the last few days," Milan Lucic said. "We've talked about it a bunch. Now it's time to not do so much talk, and go out and do it."
It's high time for Lucic and the B's to slam down the preseason power rankings and the glossy magazine pieces, and instead strap on the hard hats and tool belts that allowed them to enjoy so much regular season success last winter. There's plenty of hard work that goes into winning a Cup, and the B's haven't exactly dirtied their finger nails quite yet.
"We haven't played Bruins hockey, and played the way that this team has grown its identity over the last couple of years," said Mark Recchi. "We have to get back to it and realize how hard it is. Get our focus back. I really believe it's not that far away. This is a little bit of a wake up call, and this isn't a bad time to go through this."
With that in mind, here are three things the Bruins can do turn things around just five games into their 82-game schedule:
1. Will the real Looch please stand up — The bruising 21-year-old winger might have been in too much of a lighthearted mood after becoming the B's newest millionaire several weeks ago, and by his own admission lost some of his surliness over the last few games.
His numbers aren't really that far off what they were last season. After five games last season, Lucic had three points, six shots on goal and 14 registered hits to open things up. After five games this season, Lucic has a pair of assists, four shots on goal and the same exact 14 registered hits. But many of those body checks haven't been of the bone-thumping variety. There certainly haven't been many defensemen forced to look over their shoulders while digging out pucks in the corner. That needs to change for Lucic and the Bruins immediately, and the B's forward is well aware.
"The last two games I've feel like been getting better at creating, but for me it's also more about getting on the puck quicker, turning pucks over and then creating scoring chances," said Lucic. "I feel like I need to do a little bit more of that to get back to where I want to be. Talking with the coaches, and Peter [Chiarelli] and Cam [Neely], the one thing they always tell me is that when I keep it simple with that meat and potatoes-kind of game, I'm at my best. I have to play hard-nosed hockey."
"I have to pick [the physical] part of my game up and boost the team up with some big hits to get them going. Maybe Wheels can get me going before the game. Maybe we can get some Indian leg-wrestling going in the locker room before the game start. We can just lock legs and see who wins."
Blake Wheeler, who was taking his skates off right next to Lucic, shot back with: "Don't worry, I'll protect you out [on the ice]."
Indian leg wrestling or not, Big Looch knows what he needs to do and is looking to amp up his physical factor for the weekend road games against Dallas and Phoenix along with getting more involved offensively. Perhaps skating with David Krejci will rekindle a spark and bring out the intimidating side he flashed in last season's playoffs when the two young skaters were paired together. The one big advantage to skating with Krejci is that the right-handed shooter's first inclination for passes will be with the forehand to his left side. That bodes well for the fire-breathing winger bombing down the left side.
Just call it the Sleeping Bear Syndrome.
It's no secret that the fear factor is thrown into the opposition when big No. 17 is playing mean, merciless hockey, and it's paramount to Boston's success. Lucic knows that he and his teammates are much better when there's a certain attitude of aggression among the players. He also hinted that the mounting criticism of the B's sluggish start might be the exact kind of kindling needed to get their competitive fire going. In short, Lucic needs to lead the way in bringing the rage back out onto the ice for the Bruins.
"It seems like right now we're getting challenged by all kinds of people that are starting to doubt us," said Lucic. "I think we should use that to our advantage and go against it. We need to play with that edge and physical presence to be successful. The best thing is for us to be aggressive and initiate it right off the start rather than sit around waiting for somebody to wake us up."
2. Get the special teams back on track — Julien had a simple explanation when asked what could help out a B's power play that's managed success only 13.8 percent (4-for-29) of the time in their first five games. His answer was pretty straightforward and to the point: "Score." Julien is obviously the kind of straight-shooter that has middle management written all over him, but he's also got a point.
The Bruins need to score by any means possible on the man-advantage, and that means showing both intelligence and poise with the puck. But it also means showing a little desperation when that's called for during potential tipping points on the power play. Derek Morris and the first power-play unit helped produce four power play scores in the B's 7-2 thumping of Carolina, and stressed that they need to return back to what made them so successful in that particular game.
They, in essence, need to "go ugly early" in the man advantage and start hunting out those ugly goal situations. Getting position in tight near the net and redirecting pucks, or simply lurking around the cage wating for rebounds could make all the difference.
"When was the last time you saw us get a tip on a goal? Or get a rebound goal on the power play?" asked Morris. "Defenses are getting so good at blocking shots and getting in the shooting and passing lanes during the power plays, and we have to be a little more patient getting the pucks to our forwards.
"Then when we do get the puck down there, we've got to start looking for those ugly goals. Crashing the net and getting to that puck right at the split-second when the opportunity is there.
3. Thomas needs to shake off the slow start — The B's goaltender isn't going to admit to being a slow starter, but he hasn't looked like his Vezina Trophy self during the preseason or first three regular season games behind an admittedly mistake-prone defense. A 4.01 goals-against average and an .868 save percentage are so far below Thomas' norms that there's no choice but to believe they're aberrational. He was miles better than playing in the Dave Lewis system, and that's truly saying something.
Just about at this exact point last season, Thomas stepped up and play shutdown hockey between the pipes in back-to-back games against the Oilers and the Canucks, and made 58 saves in back-to-back shutouts. The Bruins should be looking for much the same out of Thomas this weekend during their tour of the NHL's southwestern outposts, and he's up for the challenge.
"The numbers are a little bit distorted. I didn't feel as bad as the numbers look in the two games that we lost," said Thomas, who said he didn't read anything into Tuukka Rask making back-to-back starts. "I haven't felt really bad, but I've just got bad results. It is what it is. I mean … just … it is what it is. I haven't seen too many goals allowed by us where you'd say 'Oh, the goalie is struggling.' "
"Look at the patterns over the years. The other goaltender has usually played a lot because I haven't always played that great at the beginning. I don't like to get that label. Last year my stats were good, but the team wasn't winning. During the lockout year, I had five shutouts in my first 10 games. You can't say that's the way it is every year."
|Injured Wideman not making the road trip
|10.15.09 at 12:06 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Dennis Wideman didn't practice on Thursday afternoon and will miss the two-game road trip through Dallas and Phoenix this weekend while recovering from a left shoulder injury suffered last Saturday against the Islanders. B's coach Claude Julien confirmed that Wideman is out for at least the next two games, but said that "as we speak" the club didn't have any plans to bring up reinforcements from Providence to replace the felled blueliner.
That could change, but — either way — the B's will certainly miss the puck-moving defenseman that plays upwards of 25 minutes per game when healthy.
"He's obviously getting better, but not good enough to make the trip," said Julien. "He's going to skate here [in the Boston area] this weekend, and we project that he'll be back for the games after the weekend.
"The one thing Dennis brings to the team when he's on his game is that he's a great puck-moving defenseman. I don't think we can say he's a real physical defenseman because that's not his makeup. But he can move the puck well and he's great on the power play. I would just say you're missing a pretty good defenseman."
If the B's do opt to pull out of the Providence farm as they prepare for a pair of home dates at the Dunk this weekend, sturdy defenseman Andy Wozniewksi and winger/center Vladimir Sobotka would be the players most likely to travel with the team to Big 'D'. Certainly it would be safter to add another extra healthy body in case another player hits the injury ward against the Stars, and avoid potentially playing short-handed against the Desert Dogs.
|Dennis Wideman missing from practice
|10.15.09 at 10:26 am ET
WILMINGTON — Dennis Wideman remains missing from practice again on Thursday morning with an injured left shoulder. The 26-year-old defenseman has been out of the lineup since going down with a left shoulder injury late in the second period of the win over the Islanders last weekend. There are no callups from Providence on the ice with the Bruins. Andy Wozniewski and Drew Fata would be the most logical defensemen promotions should B's coach Claude Julien need another healthy body for the road trip through Dallas and Phoenix.
The rest of the regular B's crew is out on the Ristuccia Arena ice getting up close and personal with a series of power play drills.
|Sturm back to his natural left wing spot
|10.14.09 at 2:07 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Marco Sturm admitted that there wasn't much "comfort" in playing his off-wing on the right side over the Bruins first five games.
"[The left] is where I played the last five or six years, but I can go either way," said Sturm. "I don't know if it was comfort [on the right]. It was different. But we'll see if we go on the left side and I notice a big change."
The unfamiliar spot on the right wing didn't stop Sturm from scoring a pair of goals and showing up as one of Boston's best forwards right from first puck drop. A long spring-into-summer rehab from left knee surgery and an abbreviated preseason schedule due to groin problems did nothing to derail the German forward from starting the season healthy and strong.
So the Bruins slipped in a slight change at Wednesday morning's practice, and effectively rewarded Sturm by shifting him back over to his natural left wing position on the B's top line along with center Marc Savard. Michael Ryder was moved to the right wing spot on Savard's right, and the playmaking center now has legit scorers on either side of him. Milan Lucic was "dropped" to second line left wing along with David Krejci and Blake Wheeler — a move that also allows Wheeler to switch back over to his strong side on the right.
It may not be an indictment of how Lucic has played in the early going, but it's certainly a bit of a reward carrot for the strong, willful hockey displayed by both Ryder and Sturm through the last few games.
"It's just a tweak. Never a bad thing just to see if it will help," said Julien. "Maybe shake some things up, get some attention and spark something up. I don't think it's directed at anybody necessarily, except getting the best possible four line combinations.
"I think Lucic has had real good success with Krejci before, and they work really well together when he's been on that line in the past. With Michael up there, when you look back at the last game I thought he was a really decent player. When he works hard he creates chances, and when he works hard he's strong on the puck. Sturmy with his speed and with Savvy, you hope something will come out of that."
Sturm certainly performed satisfactorly at right wing and had the confidence of the coaching staff on his off-side, but also couldn't hold a smile in at the thought of moving back into his natural wing position. The 31-year-old forward has been one of the few Bruins "feel good" stories while bouncing back strongly from knee surgery. Some players need a year to regain their skating speed after going under the knife, and — because of the January surgery date for Sturm's surgery — he's already approaching that milestone just a few months into the season.
That means little-to-no-speed lost and no residual rust on Sturm's game despite all the reasons in the world for it to be holding him back. Sturm has even surprised himself with his level of play in the early going after being away from the game for a lengthy period of time.
"I'm feeling great so far," said Sturm. "I'm really happy with the way I've started. It's better than I expected. I had a rough preseason and even when I came [to camp] I felt okay — but I knew I wasn't there yet. But it came pretty quickly. I'm really happy about that."
*Julien also noted some enlightening video sessions with some of his players over the last couple of days, and perhaps a few light bulb moments with a host of Bruins skaters that simply weren't putting in a full day's work on the ice. Some members of the B's dressing are fond of saying that there are no passengers on the Bruins' bus, and any unwanted passengers were put on notice up on the video screen by their Jack Adams trophy-winning coach.
"Some guys are trying to do too much. Some guys aren't doing enough," said Julien. "It doesn't mean those guys that aren't doing enough think that they're not doing enough. That's why you show those guys video, and — like anybody else and I know I'm that way — it's a lot clearer when you see it.
"I know there are a lot of guys that walk out of there wide-eyed and say 'Wow, I didn't know how bad I was' or 'I didn't know that I wasn't working that hard.' So now you've got their attention."
*Dennis Wideman didn't practice with the team Wednesday and remains "day to day" with a left shoulder injury, according to Julien. There's been no determination made about his availability for the weekend road trip to Dallas and Phoenix, but he shouldn't miss more than a maximum of those two road games. If Wideman can't make the trip, it's likely that B's GM Peter Chiarelli will call for reinforcements at Providence.
"If he misses the weekend then that's probably the most [he would miss]. 'If' that's the case" said Julien of Wideman.
*And finally, courtesy of Yahoo's Puck Daddy, your moment of hockey zen. That is a filthy mini 1-on-1 move. Can't wait to hear Tom Caron describe it.
|It's the old switcheroo for Bruins' lines
|10.14.09 at 11:23 am ET
WILMINGTON — Looking to shake up a team that's been stagnant through its first five games, Bruins coach Claude Julien jostled with the forward lines at practice Wednesday morning.
After the team was a few minutes late getting on the ice, Milan Lucic was wearing a gray practice jersey and skated on the second line with David Krejci and Blake Wheeler. Right wing Michael Ryder was bumped up to the top line with Marc Savard, and Marco Sturm has been switched back over to his natural left wing position alongside Savard and Ryder. The other two lines have remained intact.
Dennis Wideman still is off the practice ice with a left shoulder injury sustained last weekend against the New York Islanders.
It's fairly easy-going set of shooting drills at the moment, and none of the punitive sense given off during Boston's "bag skate" practice late last week after getting bombed by the Ducks.
|NHL Power Rankings: Bruins can't crack Top 10
|10.14.09 at 10:56 am ET
Interesting couple of weeks to start the NHL season, and now seems like a perfect time to drop WEEI.com's NHL power rankings onto an unsuspecting public. In the Eastern side of things, meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Until somebody comes up and knows them off their pedestal, the Penguins are the rulers of everything they see in the hockey landscape.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have picked up where they left off in the second half of last season, and it's really not even a close race. Teams such as the Flames, Rangers and Blackhawks are off to fairly decent starts, but they can't hang with the Penguins once they turn up the dial. Likewise, there's not a team even remotely close to the Maple Leafs in the NHL dumpster. The Leafs are getting blown out nearly every night, and Vesa Toskala has been an abomination between the pipes. The pressure ought to be nice and reasonable for a hungry Toronto fan base once Phil Kessel is healthy enough to play in late November, shouldn't it?
Here are the WEEI.com hockey power rankings:
1. 5-1-0 The Penguins already have big wins over solid teams after beating the Rangers and Flyers last week, and they have most of last year's Stanley Cup-winning cast back. Let's face it. The top spot should be theirs most of the year provided Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Co. remain healthy and motivated. Everybody else in the Eastern Conference has miles to go before they're a match for Crosby's Penguins.
2. 4-1-1 The Flames might have topped this list had they not blown a 5-0 lead against the Blackhawks on Monday night. That stunning collapse brought attention to the simple fact that the Flames haven't played much of the NHL's iron. But the Flames are still tied for the most goals (24) without a ton of offensive production from Jarome Iginla or Olli Jokinen.
|Sluggish start dooms B's on Columbus Day matinee
|10.12.09 at 3:27 pm ET
Once again the Boston Bruins underwhelmed on home ice. It was a lackadaisical start for the home team Bruins during their Columbus Day Monday matinee, and it took almost 30 minutes of hockey for the B's to finally wake up. It was a case of "too little, too late" in Boston's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche on the TD Garden ice. Perhaps it'll be good for the B's to get on the road for a while as they'll do after competing a five-game homestand on Monday afternoon.
After spotting Colorado a 2-0 lead following a sleepy first period, the B's stopped and started their way back into the game in the second period. Mark Recchi scored his first goal of the 2009-10 season and Blake Wheeler added an athletic score to get Boston back in the game, but the B's let down again following their game-tying efforts.
Defensive breakdowns and soft play in their own zone helped the Avalanche pile on two more goals in the second, including a David Jones breakaway score after Andrew Ference made the elementary mistake of playing the body instead of the puck. Perhaps okay to do in certain situations, but not when that player — Ference in this case — represents Boston's last line of defense during a sequence of 4-on-4 play.
Michael Ryder scored midway through the third period to give Boston a shot at tying the game, but the B's sluggish started ended up proving too big a hill to scale this time. The defeat saddled them with a 1-3-1 homestand to start the season. Not exactly what anybody had in mind for a hockey built on so much promise headed into the NHL regular season.
"I think it's one of those things were everyone realizes that things that worked for us in the past, things that we were comfortable doing and being successful at aren't necessarily working for us right now," said Wheeler, who scored one of Boston's goals in the middling loss. "It's one thing getting beat 2-1 or 1-0. We pride ourselves on defense and we are giving up quite a few goals here. It's not the goalie's fault at all."
YOU'RE THE BEST AROUND, AND NOTHING'S GONNA EVER KEEP YOU DOWN: Johnny Boychuk. The AHL refugee has been waiting patiently for his shot with the Bruins, and he finally got it when Dennis Wideman went down with a left shoulder injury. Boychuck played with a Bruins-sized chip on his shoulder and didn't allow himself to get bogged down in Boston's end. He led Boston with three official hits and was a plus-2 on a night the B's allowed four goals. David Krejci also played a pretty strong game for the Bruins and put his first two marks on the season tally with a pair of assists.
GOAT HORNS: Andrew Ference. The B's defenseman hasn't gotten off to a very good start this season and that continued Monday afternoon against the Avs. He did register one shot on net and a pair of hits, but his gaffe ended up leading to Colorado's game-winning score. Ference also finished at a minus-1 for the evening. He was ineffective as a quarterback to the second power play unit and his breakout passes weren't of the crisp tape-to-tape variety as well. Ference needs to turn things around and give Boston something better on the ir second defenseman pairing.
The veteran defenseman said following the game that he mistook Matt Hunwick for David Krejci on the ice, and the mistake prompted him to leave his position guarding Boston's end. Not pretty.
Boston's power play unit could very well get tossed in here as well as they are — in the words of Joe Namath — "struggaling." The B's man advantage is fruitless in their last 17 attempts, and is just 4-for-29 on the season good for a 13.8 percent success rate. Marco Sturm and Marc Savard were also both minus-2 for the Bruins in a loss that could best be termed as mediocre.

NEW YORK, Friday—Yesterday morning I attended a little ceremony. The Brooklyn Goodwill Welfare League, a group of women who have really done a remarkable piece of work in raising money and helping various war and local charities since the beginning of the war, named an ambulance they bought in memory of my mother-in-law. They would have liked to present it to the President, but it was not possible for him to give up the time, so he asked me to receive it.
The ambulance meets all the standard Army and Navy requirements and will serve shortly in some place where it can be of use to our armed forces.
This group seemed to me particularly active and energetic. I enjoyed very much being with them, and also seeing Mr. Newbold Morris again. He and I were the only speakers present.
From there I went to the College of the City of New York and spoke in the Great Hall to a gathering of students. At City College, they have the largest ROTC of any college in the country. It certainly was an impressive sight looking down on all those boys in uniform. They are so young and their responsibilities are so heavy.
The chairman of the meeting said to me afterwards that he felt it was not fair to say that the future lay in the hands of youth alone, that all of us together will have to carry the burden. I agree with him, of course, and I think we older people have the obligation to look at the future realistically, but it is much harder for us not to be tied to the past. Perhaps, our best function is to evaluate the past and to try to point out what things seem to us to have proved themselves valuable.
There was a small item in the paper this morning which filled me with horror. I noticed yesterday that in many parts of the country work had stopped for a few minutes while people prayed for the Jewish victims of Hitler's cruelty. This morning I saw that, in Poland, it was reported that more than two-thirds of the Jewish population had been massacred.
There seems to be little use in voicing a protest, but somehow one cannot keep still when such horrors are going on. One can only pray that it will dawn upon Hitler that the Lord is not patient forever and that he who puts other people to death by the sword, is often meted out the same fate.
A number of people came to see me in the afternoon. I was glad to hear from Miss Alice Keliher, of some of the plans going forward for child care in New York City.

For some students, attending college means traveling halfway across the globe.
For others, picking a school is all about having something that's within driving distance — but not so driveable that mom and dad are likely to pay a surprise weekend visit.
And for a select few, including several members of the McNeese State football team, picking a college means staying as close to home as possible. Maybe even in your own bed. With mom around to make you supper.
Freshman offensive lineman Nick Fontenot, a Barbe graduate, is one of those who gave other campuses a look but decided to continue his college career just a Jean Breaux punt away from where he went to middle school.
"I don't have to worry about food," Fontenot said. "And growing up a McNeese fan, it was just the best choice for me. At first I was looking around other places, but once I visited here it was just kind of awesome."
While Fontenot decided to stay put from the get-go, other Cowboys from Lake Charles have started their careers elsewhere before coming back home.
Cornerback Ja'Len James is one of them. The LaGrange High graduate redshirted for a season at Texas-San Antonio before transferring to McNeese a year ago.
For one thing, James finds Cajun cooking a lot more agreeable to his palate than Tex-Mex.
"I'm more used to rice and gravy," James said. "Salsa picante, burritos and tacos — it was totally different."
But mostly he is more comfortable playing at home knowing that friends and family will always be around to watch him play.
"I could have went somewhere else, but playing in front of everybody that's been behind me since Day 1, that meant a lot to me," James said. "I take a lot of pride in carrying myself better on the field because people around here know me."
And it certainly didn't hurt to have a high school teammate, fellow defensive back Aaron Sam, already on the roster to make his transition to McNeese even easier.
"That helped a lot," James said. "Me and Sam have been friends a long time. Having a chance to strap it up with him definitely had a lot to do with it."
Kicker Alex Kjellsten, a St. Louis Catholic grad, also came back home after a venture into the big-time. Kjellsten enrolled this summer after spending last year as a walk-on at LSU.
He's grateful for the chance to suit up for the Tigers in practice, but realized he'd have to go elsewhere to actually play college ball.
"I'd like to thank LSU for giving me a shot there. I loved every minute of it," Kjellsten said. "But I just wasn't getting the reps. I wanted to come to a place where I felt I'd be able to compete for a starting job."
It may seem like McNeese would undoubtedly be that spot, but Kjellsten gave Louisiana's other FCS schools careful consideration before coming to the program he grew up watching.
"My grandpa has season tickets here. I was always at McNeese football games and after every game I'd come out and kick," Kjellsten said. "So it feels like home to me to be here right now. That's what led me to be a McNeese Cowboy. But it wasn't inevitable when I left LSU. But as time progressed, it some did become inevitable."
Most Cowboys hail from different cities, and in many cases, different states. But the Lake Charles homebodies say they do their best to make those guys feel the same way they do — whether a player has been here two years or 20, it's a place to call home.
"I take a lot of pride in Lake Charles," Kjellsten said. "I love to show guys what we have to offer here."

Labyrinthitis is a problem inside the
inner ear. It happens when the labyrinth, a part of the inner ear that helps
control your balance, gets swollen and inflamed.
Labyrinthitis may
cause sudden vertigo. This makes you feel like you're spinning or whirling,
even though nothing around you is moving. Labyrinthitis may also cause hearing
loss or a ringing in your ears (tinnitus).

toilet leak after replace new wax ring
I had new tile put in the bathroom upstairs so I replaced the toilet yesterday. Today there is a wet spot on the ceiling down stairs. There was no leaks on the floor by the toilet. So I replace the wax ring with a jumbo ring and it leaked again. When cleaning the old wax ring off I noticed the flange was not level. Which I figure made the toilet unlevel. I didn't know that I was suppose to check the toilet with a level tool, until I got on the web. It is a cast iron pipe with a metal flange. Does the flange have to be level along with the toilet? I'm not a plumber I just like to do it myself. Any suggestions.
A toilet flange is supposed to set flush on top of the finished floor level on top of the tile, with only the thickness of the flange itself above finished floor level. It should be securely bolted to the tile. I use Tapcons.
A toilet should be leveled (with a level across the bowl) with beveled plastic shims made for the purpose. The toilet base bolts should be snugged down enough to prevent any movement at all, but not too tight, as that might crack the porcelain toilet base.
If the flange is below your new tile floor level, you can either replumb the flange, get a flange extension, or double the wax rings. I double the wax rings using a plain wax ring on the bottom and a wax ring with a plastic horn on the top. Been doing the latter in our upstairs bath for more than 10 years in my own home after we added tile and have never had a problem.
Good Luck!
My flange is about a 1/4 inch above the tile floor in the front of the toilet. The back of the flange does not have any tile under it. The flange appears to be tilting upward in the back half of the flange. Do I need to find something to fill in the gap around the whole flange so it fits flat against the tile floor? If the flange sits flat against the tile do I need to still bolt it down? You thoughts are greatly appreciated.
if i'm picturing this correctly, it sounds like you have a plastic flange and someone screwed the screws down in the back too far due to not having an even surface to screw to. Usually, however they go on the subfloor so this shouldn't be an issue. If the face of your flange is actually warped, then this may be causing the leak, but if you haven't had this issue until you swapped the toilet, maybe you don't have enough wax or you're moving the toilet too much after the wax has been set? :huh: It certainly wouldn't hurt to have a flange that is completely flat though, IF you can even get something under it.
The house was built in 1967 and the pipe looks like its a cast iron pipe with a metal flange. Picture the tile surrounding the front of the flange but the flange is up a 1/4 inch in the air and tile is half way around and then in the back there isn't any tile. The tile man didnt make tile come up to the flange and around the whole thing. There is space in the back. Should I try leveling the flange with a piece of wood or do I need to call the tile guy back out to put tile around it and make the flange sit on the tile instead of being a 1/4 off the tile. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated

Marcella Wagner Featured In This Month's "Glamour" Magazine
REDDING, Calif. - The story of Marcella Wagner, the Shasta County mother who was forced into labor when she was paralyzed in a car crash last year, is gaining national attention again.
Her journey is featured in this month's issue of Glamour magazine. The article is titled, "A Car Accident Took My Body From Me. But Not My Baby."
Wagner said she hopes the article "makes people appreciate life and realize that you just have to live whatever situation to the fullest and be happy."
Wagner was 32 years old and seven months pregnant when her life was dramatically changed.
She was on her way to class at Chico State University where she had just started nursing school. All of a sudden, a car cut her off and then took off on Interstate 5 near the Jellys Ferry exit.
Wagner was rushed to the hospital and was forced to undergo an emergency C-section. It was there she delivered her first child into the world, a healthy baby boy named Logan Otis Campbell.
She said the memory is a "struggle of it being the best day and the worst day."
More than a year later, Wagner is now learning to live her new life, while sharing her story.
She was contacted by Libby Copeland, a reporter at Glamour magazine last fall.
"It was humbling and it was inspiring and it was a little bit embarrassing," Wagner said.
Copeland stayed with the her for two days, learning all about Wagner's journey and progress, including her continuous physical therapy sessions at the Rose Center in Redding.
Wagner said those sessions are helping her "function more. Not so much getting any ability back but just learning how to utilize what I have."
In the article, Copeland writes about the love and bond Wagner has with Logan, who is now 15 months old.
"He's doing wonderful. He's a busy little boy," Wagner told us.
Right now, Wagner and her husband are living apart while their home is being remodeled to become wheelchair accessible.
She told us they are counting down the days until they can settle back into their house.
"It'll just be a blessing to be home and together and as a unit," Wagner said. "Then I can feel like my life can really begin again."
Wagner said that then she will decide where her life will go next.
"I can then, you know, asses the situation and decide am I going to go back to school, you know, what am I going to do?" Wagner said.
In the meantime, she told us she is thankful for the life she has and feels overwhelmed by the amount of people her story has touched.
"If it makes people stop and think a little bit and, you know, maybe one day there will be a cure out there," Wagner said.
If you would like to check out the article, the copy of Glamour magazine with Wagner in it is on shelves now.
You can also donate to Wagner at any North Valley Bank under "The Marcella Wagner New Beginnings Foundation."

Today, the New York Times reported that Donald Trump--the presumptive Republican nominee for the U.S. presidency in this November's presidential election--has reportedly become a born again Christian recently. Michael Antony, a church pastor in Pennsylvania, claimed this in a post on his blog this week. He says he recorded an interview he had with evangelical Christian leader Dr. James Dobson, president of Focus on the Family. Dr. Dobson says of Donald Trump that he knows the "person who led him … [Read more...]

Was Jesus Original in Telling Nicodemus To Be "Born Again"?
During the time of Jesus, the Sanhedrin ruled the religious life in Israel. It was a council of seventy members. They consisted of Sadducees, Pharisees, chief priests, and elders. One of the chief priests was the high priest who presided.One of the members of the Sanhedrin was Nicodemus. For the Fourth Evangelist tells us, "Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews" (John 3.1 ESV).

Can Genuine Christians Be Trinitarian or Non-Trinitarian?
Yes. I was a Trinitarian for twenty-two years until God enlightened me through scripture that being a Christian has nothing to do with being Trinitarian.

At Forty Years Old I Best Saw the Light–Trinity Doctrine No Longer Seemed Right.
I am a born-again, evangelical Christian. The institutional church says I'm not, that I am a heretic. Why? It's creeds.

PAL is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on the elimination of youth delinquency in the Dade County area, through athletic and educational programs.
"This program is very important to us," Sergeant Joseph Bermudez explained, who is also the program's director. "We try to expose our youth to different sports to steer them away from spending time on the streets, where they could get into trouble. We show them that if you stick with sports and education you can achieve great things like scholarships and professional careers down the line."
More than 80 PAL participants sat in excitement as the Hurricanes faced off against No. 62 North Florida. While cheering the Canes on, participants enjoyed pizza and were issued University of Miami branded rally towels and t-shirts.
After the match, head coach Mario Rincon spoke about the significance of the youth's attendance that day.
"I was really happy to see the Miami Police Department bring the PAL kids," Rincon explained. "Our guys really enjoyed having them in the stands and cheering for them. Hopefully they can come back soon."
University of Miami athletics has enjoyed a decade-long partnership with the Miami Police Department. Each year, PAL connects with several University of Miami athletic teams to schedule games for kids to come out and watch the Hurricanes compete.
Miami will return to action as they head to Lubbock, Texas for a back-to-back against No. 27 Texas Tech on Friday, March 1 followed by a match against No. 69 New Mexico on Saturday, March 2.

All the digging started with a video of Walmart employees throwing around iPads and breaking them just for fun. It got us wondering whether there are more people doing the same stupid thing just for fun without actually uploading the videos online.
And now a Gizmodo investigation with some former Apple Store employees uncovers the dirty details, the other side of the store.
Intentional destruction of expensive Apple devices turns out to be often a game for employees who would then just send them back to Cupertino under some pre-text. People would "test" gadgets - drop them on the floor, compete who'd crack a screen the most, and so on.
After getting used to destroying the devices you are supposed to sell comes the logical thought to actually steal it. And that's what many did too. Phones were getting swapped numerous times for money.
And stealing meant not just the gadgets but users' data. Whenever a hot-looking customer walked in store with a broken device, he or she would be asked for their passcode and then the device would get scanned by employees for naked pictures. Again, that sounds more like a routine, even a group-bonding exercise for Geniuses rather than an isolated case.
That's hardly everything, it's more like scratching the surface - but it's an interesting read, check it all out with reporting from the horse's mouth at the source below.

I have been taking the Pattern Play Class from Onlinecardclasses.com , I've taken a few classes from them and enjoy them very much. If anything it gets my mojo going when I need a kick start! (that and I'm patterned challenged! lol)
I haven't been doing my homework (I know, I know…BAD SPIKE BAD!) but after Day #3, a few card ideas popped into by head. I highly suggest taking a card class to get those creative juices going, whether it's a different layout or even learning one new technique. Sometimes it takes looking at things in a different perspective to get you off and running again!
Card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Patterned paper measures 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
-die cut snowman (can be anything like ornaments, star, etc.) from card base
-adhere patterned paper to the underside
-stamp sentiment in cobalt archival ink
-sprinkle clear embossing powder and heat set
-trace around the snowman with a sparkly pen, I used a baby blue Spica pen.
I was planning to do something similar with another die (which I am still searching high and low for!) but couldn't wait to do this card when I put this paper and die together in my head! (Do you do that? Mentally put cards together when you're doing other things, like laundry? lol)

New porchdeck roof
I figured this would be the right place to find out......
I'm building a 32 ft long by 10ft out porch roof.
I want to tie into the house roof rafters.
I took a look under the facia and found that the builder had used 2X6 for facia board. My question is this. Instead of taking off the soffet and facia and tying into the rafters, would it be good to nail joist hangers to the 2X6 facia board to set the porchroof rafters on....??
Thanks for any suggestions.
i m building something like that but i need a few tips about the roof !! :) thanks bye!
Trusses w/ Hangers
Every Situation is different... and seeing exactly what you have happening may change the suggestion.
What about attaching a 2 x 10 header directly to the home?
Buying Trusses pre-built may be in your best interest and attaching these to the header board with Joist Hangers as mentioned.
A 2 x 6 or 8 Leveled at the Ridge can be used to secure the peak.

A few years ago, I was in the same tutorial as a young woman from South Carolina who was spending a year studying at Auckland University.
She was keen on tennis, as am I, and we were both at the same pitiful level of expertise. We bashed the ball around the Stanley St courts a few times and, inevitably, conversation turned to the Williams sisters who were then establishing themselves as superstars of women's tennis.
I was raving about them, but my classmate's delicate Southern belle features took on a look of distaste.
"I mah-self do not care for those girls," she said frostily.
And that was that. The Williams sisters, indeed the Williams family, certainly polarise tennis fans.
You cannot help but admire their athleticism and their sheer talent, but I think we've always suspected what Serena breezily confessed to the media this week. She doesn't enjoy tennis; she can't understand how she became a professional athlete given that she's by inclination lazy; she understands she needs to play the game to enjoy the lifestyle she adores, but, given the choice, she would rather spend her time relaxing or shopping.
Predictably, some commentators have reacted with outrage, citing Serena's insouciant comments as another example of the ingratitude, arrogance and/or poor sportsmanship shown by the Williams sisters.
The subtext to their reaction seems to be that poor black girls from the projects should be jolly thankful they have such privileged lives and it is in very poor taste to complain about the game that has given them a lifestyle that the outraged commentators can only dream of.
But it hasn't been a dream ride for these two talented young women.
Their father was the cliched tyrannical tennis dad who had the girls out practising on the public courts from the age of 3. They were always going to become tennis stars - whether they liked it or not.
And Serena is not the first tennis champ to confess to a love-hate relationship with the game.
In Andre Agassi's incredible memoir, Open, he talks about the complicated relationship with a game that earned him fame and fortune - and that he grew to hate.
If we can go to work and enjoy doing what we do, we are very lucky indeed. A lot of people are bored and unhappy in their occupations but, like Serena, they do them so they can pay the bills and afford the hobbies or pastimes that give their lives meaning.
If I had been forced to play tennis from the age of 3, I would be over the game by now, too.
I think Serena should be cut some slack, even if it is galling to think of that talent being wasted on someone who couldn't give a fat rat's bum about it.
Imagine the despair of some of the second-tier players when they heard Serena's comments. These are the women who have given everything for tennis; who train for hours and hours a day in the hope of getting an edge; who barely make a living travelling round the satellite tournaments hoping and praying for a break.
It must be galling for them to know that Serena has enshrined her name in the tennis pantheon - and she has done so without even trying.

Dusty Springfield at the BBC
A selection of Dusty Springfield's performances at the BBC from 1961 to 1995. Dusty was one of Britain's great pop divas, guaranteed to give us a big melody in songs soaring with drama and yearning.
The clips show Dusty's versatility as an artist and performer and include songs from her folk beginnings with The Springfields; the melodrama of You Don't Have to Say You Love Me; Dusty's homage to Motown with Heatwave and Nowhere to Run; the Jacques Brel song If You Go Away; the Bacharach and David tune The Look of Love; and Dusty's collaboration with The Pet Shop Boys in the late 1980s.
There are also some great duets from Dusty's career with Tom Jones and Mel Torme.

What Cognitive Disabilities Are Protected From Discrimination?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employers and others from discriminating against those with physical, psychological, and cognitive disabilities. The ADA does not explicitly define the term "cognitive disability." Because different people use the term cognitive disability to refer to different impairments, it's not always clear which disabilities the ADA and similar laws protect.
What Is a Cognitive Disability?
Cognitive disability can refer to any of a number of conditions that severely limit cognition. Cognition is defined as the act or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. Thus, a cognitive disability is any condition that sufficiently impacts learning and knowing. This includes impairments affecting the capacities to learn, process, remember, or communicate information; awareness; and decision-making.
Cognitive disabilities can result from genetics, injury (such as traumatic brain injury or stroke), physical illness, mental illness, substance abuse, or medication. Cognitive disabilities include conditions such as:
- learning disabilities, like dyslexia
- low IQ or mental retardation
- Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia
- certain mental illnesses (for example, generalized anxiety disorder), and
- some developmental and/or intellectual disabilities, such as autism, Asperger's syndrome, and Down Syndrome.
Does the ADA Protect Cognitive Disabilities?
The ADA protects any impairment that significantly affects a major life activity, such as learning, communicating, seeing, caring for oneself, sleeping, and so on. Severe forms of any of the above cognitive disabilities should qualify for protection from the ADA under this definition.
If you have any of these disabilities, an employer cannot discriminate against you by not hiring you, demoting you, or firing you, as long as you can do the main duties required by the job. Your employer must also make reasonable accommodations to help you do your job, such as providing written instructions rather than oral instructions (or vice versa), additional training, or more time to complete certain projects. For more on the ADA and reasonable accommodations, see our series of articles on ADA protections.
Discrimination for a Cognitive Disability
If you were fired, demoted, not hired, or otherwise treated badly because of a cognitive disability, you may have a claim under the ADA. To exercise your rights, request a free consultation with a disability lawyer in your area, who can help you file a claim with the EEOC and a lawsuit, if necessary.

Griz earn #8 seed in FCS playoffs
MISSOULA, Mont. - After finishing the regular season with an overall record of 10-2 and a conference record of 6-2, the Montana Grizzly football team earned the #8 seed in the FCS playoffs.
Saturday morning the Griz watched the selection show at the Press Box where they found out they would be the #8 seed in the 2013 FCS playoffs. Not only did the Grizzlies make the playoffs, but they also received a first round bye in the process.
"To see us come up as the #8 seed, our main hope I guess coming into this morning was that we would have a bye and get a home game, and we got that so we're really excited about that," said Griz head football coach Mick Delaney.
"It's huge you know, it's what we wanted was to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a run at a national title, so we're excited about it," said Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson.
The Griz will host the winner of the first round match between Bethune-Cookman and Coastal Carlina. The first round bye couldn't have come at a better time for Montana, The Grizzlies haven't had any time to rest since their week two bye.
"It's just big for us to kind of have a week off to get healthy and get all our guys back, I think it will be really really good for us," said Johnson.
After finishing last season with and overall record of 5-6 and a conference record of 3-5, the Griz have turned things around in just once year.
"That's tremendous, I think that's one of the things that Griz Nation deserves," said Delaney. "As it has been in the past, we're back to where we are playing that first game at home and whether it's a bye or not it's really important, but when it's a bye it's great."
The Griz will host the second round playoff game Saturday, Dec. 7th at noon inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

Sabre Red, 520010-C
Sabre Sabre Red MK-3 DPS 2.0 oz
Weak Side, next to my S&W SWATMB
If all you have is a hammer, everything appears to be a nail. Having a less than lethal means of defense is certainly always better than only having a lethal means of defense. Whether you're 75% more likely to need to use less than lethal, or 10% more likely to need to use less than lethal means, if you haven't got any on you, then you have 0% of choosing that option.
More tools in the tool box is 100% better than fewer tools in the tool box.
I carry Sabre P-22-CS, which is a combination of CS/Pepper and has a UV dye in it. I don't think it is as potent as the Fox Labs stuff, I just haven't gotten around to getting myself some of the Fox.
The spray is what I use. Fox and red Sabre are the most popular and what I carry.
One of the criticisms of OC is it is not a 100% effective ( about 90% per Berkley Study). While true it misses the main selling points: non lethal and multiple combatants. The other missing points are strategy ... Unless a LEO the goal is to just get away not to engage. Additionally it is not either / or at a $10.00 or so cost point, I just carry it
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
All I can say is when in WO and MT fishing, I carry the spray too, but that is not the primary thing I reach for.
I have read that in a car or back packing a can of wasp spray works very well. To bad they don't make it in smaller cans.
Most encounters can be resolved with non lethal force. Although I always carry a handgun (or two) I also carry pepper spray. The Mace Pepper spray gun is a great alternative. As far as the bear, the Guard Alaska Bear Repellent is the only approved by the EPA to deter all species of bears and even works on wet bear fur. That's your best bet.
Is there any difference in the brands, realistically? Like Sabre vs. Counter Assault vs. the Guard Alaska stuff? Lets talk the higher strength stuff of all of them (except the Guard Alaska - thats a bear-only can so it only works in the bear category).
I think Fox Labs has the highest concentration of pepper.
My non leathal is avodance and use my head.
pepper sptay/OC is nice, but it doesn't work on everyone. What does work on everyone is a tazer, an ASP, and a sap.
I carry Sabre Red but I don't know why I went with that brand. Read something somewhere. I also carry a Kahr CM9 every time I leave the house for over a year now. If I would opt to spray vs. shoot I hope the BG would not feel like laughing at me since my Sabre Red is in a pink container. Gander Mtn. was donating $2.00 to breast cancer if you bought the pink one. Bought two one for my wife and the other is in my right front jeans pocket. :embarassed:
I can't carry at work but I always have this around my neck and at mini Grip on my pocket.

Fresh taste

This coconut oil has a different taste from the coconut oils I've used in the past, saying extra virgin and all. The fact that this specifies that a cold process is being used, indicates that no heat was ever present to destroy/alter any of the nutrients in the oil, including those responsible for the taste. This oil is great in chocolate and smoothies! A big plus for the glass jar too. It is less convenient for shipping, but better for the oil and better for you.

I love this coconut oil and use it for many things. It's not only a great cooking oil, but also medicinal for dry skin and other skin problems. I use it for the majority of my cooking, stir fry, etc. It's even delicious by the spoonful.

I love this oil, It helps you lose weight because it is a good oil. It tastes great on toast, for frying just about anything. I love it. Will continue to order.
Really great product

This is the first time I ordered the Raw oil, and It tastes even better! It has the same melting point, so it is solid at room temp. The raw is processed at a much lower temp than the regular Nutiva coconut oil. I give a Tablespoon to my Goldens at both of there meals. It really gives them a soft coat. I made a butter substitute by melting at low temp 2 parts coconut oil with 1 part canola or grape seed oil. I added a little salt and stired it as it solidified. I use it as a spread instead of butter. I use just the coconut oil as a substitute for butter in almost all my cooking. I can't taste any difference and I know it is better for us than butter.
Love it!!!

I like the Organic Extra virgin more, but I like that this one comes in glass instead of plastic.
