FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.– The MLS Combine took a break today, the day before players have their final chance to impress scouts with Tuesday's Combine-closing matches.
Players went through their final round of meetings with interested teams as team officials looked to get to know the prospects they have been watching over the past few days (and months).
Wondering which teams are considering moving up? Want to know who has seen their stock rise the most? Here are some MLS Combine Off-Day Observations to shed some light on those subjects:
1- Kyle Bekker's stock is soaring.
The Boston College midfielder enjoyed a second strong day and now the talk has gone from "What Canadian team will grab him in the first round" to "just how high can he go"?
His movement, intelligence and technical quality has scouts raving and now it's not a stretch to say he should go in the Top 10. A place in the Top Five still seems too early, though Vancouver will have to at least think about taking him at No. 5. That's not something many would have expected a week ago.
He isn't the only Canadian who has impressed. Emery Welshman has played himself into the first round, and if he has another good day on Thursday he could wind up coming off the board in the 16-19 range. It's tough to see anybody reaching for him sooner than that, even though he truly has been impressive.
2- Most teams rate Andrew Farrell No. 1, but not all do.
Walker Zimmerman tops the draft boards for most of the remainder of the teams. He has a groin injury that has kept him out of the Combine but remains the No. 2 rated player in this draft.
A regular on the U.S. Under-20 national team when healthy, Zimmerman is the sort of prototypical centerback prospect (6-foot-3 and athletic) that has some teams desperate to try and trade up into the top three to snag him.
Farrell didn't play as well on Sunday as he did last Friday, which opened the door for more criticism from skeptics who think he is still a bit too raw to be considered a lock No. 1, but you still find players and coaches raving about him pretty consistently. Right now I'd say there's about a 95 percent chance that either Farrell or Zimmerman will be the first player take on Thursday.
3- Colorado loves Zimmerman
At the top of the Zimmerman Fan Club list, I'm told, are the Colorado Rapids, who are in dire need of a quality young centerback. They currently hold the sixth pick and could package allocation money and/or a player to move up to No. 1 to select Zimmerman. The Rapids are believed to be shopping Jeff Larentowicz, but he wouldn't be a part of a deal with TFC considering the Canadian side already have Torsten Frings and are about to sign former Sporting KC midfielder Julio Cesar.
4- Portland could work way back into first round.
The Timbers moved out of the first round by dealing the No. 3 overall pick to Toronto FC in a deal that landed them Ryan Johnson. It appears Caleb Porter and Portland want back into the first round, with rumors swirling that the Timbers are trying to trade their way back in.
What would Portland have to surrender to move into the first round? The $75,000 in allocation money they are set to receive for the rights to Robbie Findley could help facilitate a deal. It should be noted that just as recently as 2010, a first-round pick was traded for $150,000 in allocation money (FC Dallas sold the No. 7 overall pick in 2010 for that amount to the Philadelphia Union).
5- TFC a safe bet to trade down with one pick.
Kevin Payne loves the draft. Why wouldn't he considering how well D.C. United has done with the draft through the years? With that in mind, it is a safe bet TFC keeps one of their two high first-round picks while using the other to trade down and stockpile some allocation money.
Who might be interested in that kind of move into the top three? Colorado, Columbus, Real Salt Lake, Sporting KC and Seattle are all teams I could see working some magic on draft day.
6- Jason Johnson silding, but could be a steal
Before the MLS Combine, Jason Johnson was a projected top-five player, but after struggling through two straight days (and on the heels of a finish to his college season that could hardly be called a strong one), Johnson's stock is sliding fast.
Just how far can he fall? I had one technical director tell me he thinks Johnson could slip out of the first round. I highly, highly doubt that. For as much as he is struggling with his fitness, and as alarming as it is for a player to come to the Combine out of shape, he still has some impressive tools and could be a steal for a team like Chicago or Real Salt Lake.
7- Teams that could be on the move on draft day, and what they're looking for?
Trade talk is a major part of MLS Combine week and we are already starting to hear some rumblings about teams that could be interested in making moves in the draft order.
As mentioned above, TFC is looking to move down with one of the two top three picks they hold, while Colorado is looking to move up. You also have teams like Real Salt Lake (forward), Sporting Kansas City (central midfielder), Columbus (centerback) and Seattle Sounders (forward, centerback) who I hear are testing the waters to see if they can move up to stand a better chance of landing an elite player at their key position of need.
8- So you want to play for Chivas USA?
It isn't often when you have players lining up to profess their desire to play for a team as notoriously mismanaged as Chivas USA, but that's what we had on Sunday when both Carlos Alvarez and Mikey Lopez stated that they want to play for the Goats.
That isn't much of a surprise considering the fact that playing for Chivas USA means one of them will have been the No. 2 player in the draft, but their desire to play for the Goats goes well beyond that. Both are technical players who could thrive in a more Mexican-style system, and then you have Alvarez being from Los Angeles and having a father who once played for Chivas Guadalajara.
Which of the two will Chivas USA actually take? With new coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola stating publicly that he wants Mexican Americans in this draft, he has pretty much left himself with picking one of those two with the No. 2 pick, even though Andrew Farrell and Walker Zimmerman would address the team's desperate need for defensive help. I wouldn't have pegged the Goats to take Alvarez at No. 2 before the draft (he was projected more as an 8-12 pick) but based on the sound of things, it is very much a possibility now.
9- Eriq Zavaleta is a centerback
I know he scored tons of goals for Indiana, and I know some insist he's better as a forward, but he showed on Sunday the qualities that could make him a truly special central defender.
Could he score some goals in MLS? Possibly, but he has significantly more upside as a centerback and for a team picking in the Top Five, he will be much more of a value pick as a centerback than as a forward. Ultimately, whichever team takes him could give him a look at both spots, but chances are that the team that makes him a Top Five pick (he should be a Top Ten lock) will be picking him with the hope of him potentially being a Geoff Cameron-like multi-faceted central defender.
10- The Current Top Ten on the SBI Big Board
I'm not doing another Mock Draft and Big Board until AFTER the Combine and the day before the MLS Draft, but here is how I see the Top Ten on my Big Board looking right now, based not just on Combine, but also pre-draft rankings, as of Monday (and yes, I'm sure it will be tweaked between now and Wednesday):
1. Andrew Farrell
2. Walker Zimmerman
3. Mikey Lopez
4. Kekuta Manneh
5. Eriq Zavaleta
6. Erik Hurtado
7. Kyle Bekker
8. John Stertzer
9. Carlos Alvarez
T10. Deshorn Brown
T10. Jason Johnson
quality piece! i would love the rapids to move down and snag WZ, to me he's the surest pick coming out this year.
Um, yeah
If so many of the top players on the board are underclassmen every year, why not let more underclassmen in the draft? Do they have to have a Generation Adidas deal to be in the draft if they aren't seniors?
Yeah. As far as I know, you have to be a senior to come out unless you've signed a GA contract. Most of the time it's to protect these college players. A lot of them would likely come out and either not get selected or be cut early on, ruining any chance of going back and finishing school. Most of these kids are better off getting the degree first and then trying their luck at a pro career.
At this point in MLS' development in terms of player salary for non GA players and anyone not a top senior, there's not enough money to make up for the risk of coming out early unlike the NBA or NFL.
Ives – I've seen you and several other journalists talk about college players "projecting" as pro defenders, despite being college forwards. I feel like I never heard this talk until just the last year or two and I was hoping you could explain the line of thinking. I've always thought that great strikers were far more valuable than defenders (maybe an ex-strikers bias!), but there must be more to it. Are some of these players just good with their heads and athletic, but don't have the touch/pace to do it in the pros?? Is it about height and speed? And do many 20-22 year olds in other countries get bumped from forward to defense? I'd love a full post on this, but even a short reply would be great! Anyone in the SBI gallery have any insight??
Paul Miller
Good forwards are a dime a dozen. Great forwards… that's another story. But most aren't great. Defenders, however, are worth their weight in gold.
Personally, I believe we've gone so far down the ball skills/Coerver/whatever road that at the youth level we've de-emphasized defensive techniques. The results are showing. Remember when the USMNT couldn't threaten to score to save their lives, but they had a realistic shot of every once in a while shutting down Brazil's attack? If so, you're probably my age.
Now, we can score on anyone in the world. No, we're not a great attacking side yet. We're arguably just entering the 'good' ranks. But we can't even shut down Antigua's Peter Byers.
You look at these defenders, and even casual observers over the course of 90 minutes can pick out a few positional mistakes, body technique mistakes, etc. And that's just the 1v1 stuff. So, yes, solid defenders are now the thing everyone wants.
Not sure about this. We've improved quite a bit in possession because of the increase in German Americans, Mexican Americans and overall increase in skill in Americans. When you have more possession its harder to defend. Teams counter attack us like we used to do to them.
Josh D
I almost agreed with you. But we differentiate in that I don't think we've lost our defensive qualities (i.e. ability to develop defenders), I think as a nation we still don't know how to develop a proper striker and we are shortsighted enough to see big, fast players as defenders.
I think our failure in scouting is highlighted by this discussion. Here you have a player who has scored tons at the highest level he's played, and has done well as a CB because he's athletic. That's all I have heard about him as a CB: He's athletic (fast, big) and he's technical. There's nothing about his ability to read the game or tackle or head.
I think we have an obsession with truly fast players being forwards and big, athletic guys automatically thrown in at CB. I played CB through my early twenties and I will be the first to say that CB is the one position on the field where you can shine the easiest. Big guys who can run fast and pass will always look solid as a CB at the college level.
Why isn't he a striker? Why haven't the others who are turned into CBs? I think it's because we don't know how to identify forwards and because we can't take forwards to the next level. Thus far, forwards like Dempsey, McBride, and Jozy all took their skills up a level after MLS. I think MLS allows you to find your feet as a professional striker, but moving abroad is the only way to truly learn the technical aspects of the game.
It's common in all sports for players to change roles as they move up. Look at all of the dominant college starting pitchers who project as MLB relievers because they only have one or two pitches. It's the same principle. You need 3-4 pitches to succeed as an MLB starter but you can dominate with 2 as a reliever. In college soccer, you can score a lot of goals with one or two good tools or skills because you have more time on the ball. In MLS, unless your tools are world class, you need a very high technical level to be able to score a lot, so a lot of these guys are very iffy when projected as strikers.
On the other hand, the league is beginning to develop more sophisticated tactics which call for better technical ability from their CBs, so a striker with excellent athleticism and aerial ability who possesses only average technical ability for a striker becomes an extremely appealing option as a cb because average for a striker is excellent technically for a typical MLS cb. Most of these guys also have a cb background, so it's a natural switch.
In order for this to become a top league, we will need to develop skilled players at ALL positions, not just strikers. It's a very positive thing, IMO, for MLS to be moving in this direction, and indicative of a better, more technical league.
I think its because we are developing more well rounded players that happen to end up in situations where the teams attack is lacking compared to the defence so players like (Wenger, Zavaleta, Gaul) that can also attack are put in positions where they can best help their team.
The Imperative Voice
I think it's more about the fact that we produce all around athletes with solid ball skills, which is a formula at our level of league that can play around the perimeter of the formation. Just like our hand eye coordination from other sports makes us better GKs.
What I think we tend to lack, or to peripheralize, are players like Barros Schelotto and Brad Davis who are high on finesse but low on athleticism. Well, maybe not like them specifically, but if you are a finesse player but not as good as them, I think the modern MLS struggles to include you because the styles, formations, approaches are so much built around athleticism, hustle, team defense.
I think it has more to do with qualities we prize and that if you have them MLS will keep moving you around and see where you fit, whereas if you aren't in the mold I've seen some decent players who are square peg round hole.
The Imperative Voice
Corey Ashe to me is a classic example. Kinnear loves the guy and has played him in a few spots, including now back, but he can't hit a cross, positions poorly, and isn't even all that good at getting stuck in. But he motors and motors and that has earned him endless PT here as Davis' understudy or at LB.
The Imperative Voice
I think there's an argument to be made that forwards and backs have more in common with each other than middies. Middies pay faster for technical mistakes and thus need to be sharper. Middies to me also need more of a cross-country runner level of motor/ endurance.
But a mediocre forward with decent ball skills and speed who is hustling in nature and has the knack for defense can be a serviceable wingback of the Bornstein/ Albright mold. In theory. As long as you aren't Dom Oduro I think the skills for playing in some space are transferable around the park. Just not for playing CM. And if the assessment is, flush, at your normal position, ok, fine, try me at back.
I mean, look at Wondo (perhaps before he took off), he has good enough touch, good work rate, endurance. I've seen him chase people around the park. He could be a back.
I can't say I really agree with moving targets to CB. I'm a big believer in mobility. If you're not coordinated enough to be a pro forward how can you keep up with a more coordinated version of yourself on defense?
Middies? Did this turn into a lacrosse blog? Doesn't have much to do with coordination, though, it's mainly about technical ability IMO.
I would say its easier to succeed in MLS as a centerback. MLS teams usually use their foreign slots and DP slots for offensive players which makes it more difficult for an American to break thru.

Case Conclusion Date: 01.12.2010
Practice Area: DUI and DWI
Outcome: Not Guilty
Description: This case dealt with the importance of jurisdiction in a DUI stop. Most police agencies have limited jurisdiction in the State of Maryland so it is important to know which police agency participated in your stop/arrest and where you were driving at the time, (ie. what county.) The Maryland State Police Department has jurisdiction throughout the State of Maryland so they may effectuate a lawful stop essentially anyplace in Maryland. However, it gets interesting when a county police officer effectuates a traffic stop outside of his authorized jurisdiction. When a county officer is outside of his jurisdiction, that officer is no longer an authorized police officer and instead becomes a normal citizen. Consequently, if the officer is driving home and sees a car weaving (outside his jurisdiction), he is not authorized to stop that car under the color of police authority, but rather must call in to the local police agency and have that agency effectuate a stop. This procedure was not followed in this case, the stopping officer was outside his jurisdiction and consequently the stop was deemed illegal. If the stop is deemed illegal, then any evidence obtained is not admissible in court and the Government's case fails, which is what happened here.

While the light-duty F-150 received a shocking style revision in 1997, the F-250 and F-350 pickups continued on with the same, square body style as before. It wasn't until 1999 that these Super Duty pickups inherited the new, rounded body style of their smaller sibling. The 1997 Ford F-250 Super Duty had a trio of transmissions available -- two manuals and one automatic -- with various transmission capacities.
Transmission Capacity
The Mazda R2 transmission -- a five-speed manual -- in the 1997 F-250 Super Duty's has a total capacity of 3.8 quarts. The ZF S5-47 five-speed manual transmission has a 3.4-quart capacity. The E4OD transmission -- four-speed automatic -- has a 15.9-quart capacity with two-wheel drive, or a 16.14-quart capacity with four-wheel drive. All three transmissions use Mercon Automatic transmission fluid.

JUNGLE evictee Pat Sharp isn't the only thing to get up campmates' noses –
Fatima Whitbread got a COCKROACH up hers.
In one of the show's most gruesome scenes, the Olympic champ had a syringe of
water squirted into her nostril to sluice out the creepy crawlie through her
The roach got stuck during Fatima's Fill Your Face head-to-head trial against
Pat to decide who would get the boot.
The pair had to don goggles before strapping on giant clear helmets filled
with crabs, crickets, scorpions, spiders and snakes – then endure a faceful
for 30 seconds.
In the final bit of the challenge, 7,500 cockroaches were dumped into Fatima's
helmet. But one of the little critters crawled up her nose. The trial was
stopped after Fatima felt it scuttle further up her nostril despite
desperate attempts to blow it out.
Medic Bob was finally brought in, armed with the syringe, to hose the
cockroach down and out through her mouth. It was then trapped in a bottle.
Despite her ordeal, Fatima carried on and managed to beat Pat in a tie-break.
And she grabbed the roach as a grizzly souvenir before returning to camp to
describe her ordeal.
Impressed McFly star Dougie Poynter said: "That's bad ass! The most rock 'n'
roll thing you can do with a cockroach – snort it and spit it out!"

"There is no try, only do."
As we all know, nerds used to get beat up and ridiculed. Now — nerd culture contains that 'it' factor, it's prolific, and it seems like everyone is getting into comics and other activities that were once deemed geeky. It's great that more and more people are embracing nerd culture and that nerds, dweebs and geeks and their intelligence are now accepted into mainstream society.
Some super fans take their nerdiness to a serious level with cosplay. Dressing up as your favorite comic book character, sci-fi hero or video game villain requires serious creativity and commitment. Plus cosplayers are one of the awesomest spectacles at comic conventions. Well everyday nerds aren't the only one who appreciate dressing up. Check out these famous people who get down with comic cons.
These costumes are no joke!

Prologue - Ceris Rising
Ceris, the goddess of the Kingdom of Sol, is returning after years of slumber at a distress call from her people. But the people of Sol are in for an unpleasant surprise as Ceris is not what her people believe her to be.
Rain drops slid onto the ground, splashing ripples on the puddles that formed on the uneven dirt path leading to the stone temple hidden at the back of the forest. A dark cloak floated behind a tall figure walking hastily along the path, taking refuge underneath the temple from the rain. A heavy bundle was clutched tightly between his hands.
The man retreated into the temple, finding a safe dry place to set down the bundle before assessing his surroundings. The temple was rather small, built with large stone bricks. Once neatly cut, the bricks were now worn over the years under the elements. There was one entrance to the temple with old rusted hinges being the only remains of what once was a door. Near the entrance were two torch stands, knocked over long ago. Cobwebs covered the place. Dirt scattered across the floor. It was clear the place had been abandoned a long time ago.
On the far wall of this temple was a large mosaic, surprisingly clean and new compared to the rest of the temple. Lined with gold, the wall seemed to glow by itself, being the only light source in the small windowless enclosure.
The man took off his soaking cloak, dropping it on the ground hastily as he bent down to unwrap the bundle that was ever so important to him. His hands shook as he took a glance backwards before revealing the contents of the bundle - 3 glistening jewels.
Grabbing the jewels, he walked nervously up to the mosaic, running his grimy hands along the perfect piece of art. The mosaic showed the image of what seemed to be a goddess, glowing, standing up boldly. There were 3 prominent slots in the mosaic, three slots that appear to once have held something precious.
"Ceris save us." The man muttered under his breath as he hastily pushed one of the jewels into the slots. The mosaic glowed slightly brighter.
"My people are in danger." He whispered, lifting the second jewel into it's slot.
As it slid into place, the sound of horses flying through the forests echoed into the temple. The ominous sound of hooves sent a shiver down the man's spine, He grabbed the last gem, sparkling bright red, and pushed into the slot.
"If it is in the will of the goddesses to sacrifice me, I will gladly for my people." The man fell to his knees in front of the mosaic as gem slid into place. The horse hooves stopped in front of the temple. "I only hope my sacrifice is not in vain."
He looked up one more time at the glowing mosaic, watching at the jewels locked themselves solidly into the wall before he turned away to face the entrance. His hand slid into his sleeve, drawing out a dagger.
"May the goddess lend me power." He prayed, and then charged out of the temple.
The angelic face of the mosaic stared blankly at the leaving man before a thirsty smile slowly crawled to the face.
Ceris was returning.

The ride home was tiring after sitting in the car for the past four hours before even starting back at eleven at night. The city was quiet as midnight hit. Karen visited briefly in Ben's car to joke about the last case and have a little small talk about how he was feeling and about a few phone calls from new clients he received throughout the day. Nothing major except for one. A missing teen case. A fifteen year old girl named Shauna Warren has been reported missing since two days ago when she never came home from school. Ben was asked by a contact and close friend of his within the Pittsburgh Police Department to investigate named Frank Di Angelo. They got to know each other through a few cooperative work cases for which the PPD invited Benjamin to provide his skills.
Ben arrives back at his apartment complex just outside of the city in a neighboring town called Penn Hills. He can't live in the city or else he could never find peace and quiet. Not because of the living, but because of the amount of lingering lost souls roaming everywhere seeking answers.
If it's not already obvious, Ben has a gift. He developed it slowly after Karen passed. He could never sleep once he heard the news of what happened to her. Months went by as he never left his room in his parent's house. He hated life, hated everything and everyone.
But, something happened. One night, as he laid in bed thinking, always thinking, he heard a voice in his head he was sure was not his own inner voice. As he began talking to this voice, the more he did, the more it sounded like his lost loved one. For three days, he stayed in his room, talking to himself. His parents were worried and began making plans to call for medical advice. Ben and Karen figured everything out. He found peace knowing she was okay. He found reason to live again knowing Karen still existed. However, Karen did not have the heart to tell him what happened to her. How she died. Until this very day, she won't say a word about it. Karen knows it would crush him.

text: Hi there, I upgraded my main machine from XP x64 to Windows 7 Professional x64 (yes, Professional, not Ultimate, it's not the RC - it's a final version I got via my university). And well.. stand-by and hibernation.. just make my head explode.. all hardware installed properly (with the exception for the gameport of my Sound Blaster Audigy but that's a known not-working hardware in Windows Vista+ so it is disabled). But well, when I try to enable sleep mode or hibernation mode.. For sleep.. it doesn't really do anything.. the screen goes black.. the fans turn off.. but instantly after they turn off, they switch on again and the system wakes up. Total sleep time.. about 15 seconds or so. Hibernation is even more interesting: it succesfully hibernates.. hiberfil.sys gets written.. but again: the system does not turn off.. fans power down.. and immediately speed up again, the system restarts. Switching off the system manually (while the BIOS initializes) shows: it did actually hibernate, it can resume even if power is completely cut. Just: it doesn't switch off - it immediately wakes up. I should also note: normal shut-down.. works and powers off the PC. My energy settings are (sorry, German version): -Allow Hybrid mode: both on and off tested -Timers for wake-up: Disabled I again say: both sleep and hibernation worked in XP! I also updated my BIOS to its latest revision to make sure there are no possible ACPI problems. My general system is: -Windows 7 Professional x64 German -AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ -8 GB RAM -ASUS M2N SLI mainboard with Phoenix Award 6.00 BIOS (in case some pros have special ideas here) All wakeup events (Wake-Up on LAN, on Ring, on keyboard) are switched off. I Hope someone has an idea, thank you, Julian

Srinagar, Sep 2 (ANI): The prevailing unrest in Jammu and Kashmir is playing spoilsport for the dry fruits business in the Kashmir Valley during the auspicious Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Different varieties of dry fruits like dates, almonds, coconut, cashew nuts, pistachios, and raisins are eaten in the early hours of the morning before the fast commences.
These items are also used to garnish many delicacies like, pulav, halwa and pherni.
Clashes between locals and security forces in the Valley have had an adverse effect on the religious fervour of Muslims in the region.
"This year, due to the prevailing situation, every field has got affected negatively, be it education or trade," claimed Yawar, a local.
"This year due to curfew and strike the trade is affected. Last year we earned near about 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 lakh rupees but this year some day shop is opened and next day closed," said Abdul Rashid, a shopkeeper. By Parvez Butt (ANI)

Summer temperature standard deviation, skewness and strong positive temperature anomalies in the present day climate and under global warming conditions

Spatial patterns of the standard deviation and skewness of daily and monthly mean summer temperature were studied with the climate model Institute of Numerical Mathematics Climate Model version 4 for three scenarios: simulation of the preindustrial climate, effect of quadrupling CO2 concentrations, and simulation of transient climate change for the period 1850–2100. In high skewness regions of the simulated preindustrial climate, hot periods exceeded the number expected for a normal distribution by a factor of 2–8. In the model in which CO2 concentrations were quadrupled, we found an increase in standard deviation and a northward shift of the area with positive skewness compared with the preindustrial scenario. The maximum increase in summer mean temperature was found in subtropical areas. The maximum increase in temperature averaged over the warmest 30 % of days was about 500 km to the north of the region of maximum increase of seasonal mean temperature, in the area where standard deviation was increased. The maximum increase in temperature averaged over the warmest 0.1 % of days was 500 km further north again, in an area of increased skewness. In the transient climate change simulation for 1850–2100, there was a noticeable increase in temperature of the warmest days exceeding the summer mean temperature in regions with increased skewness. In regions with decreased skewness, there was only a small increase or no rise at all in temperature for the warmest days under transient global warming.

THUNDER BAY, ON ------- December 6, 2010 ---- "When it comes to our children, the absolute best healthcare is a must," says Glenn Craig, President & CEO, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. "This Christmas season, your donation makes that possible." The Health Sciences Foundation is encouraging the people of Northwestern Ontario to support the care that saves the lives of babies and children year round.
Last year, 1,580 babies took their very first breath at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Of them, 394 needed the specialized care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
"Donations are crucial to the care of babies and children," says Nancy Persichino, Director, Maternal Newborn at the Health Sciences Centre. "Donor support ensures that we can replace aging equipment and purchase new, leading-edge technologies so that we can continue to provide our children with world-class care."
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- December 6, 2010 ----- Every year, local non-profit arts education organization, Community Arts & Heritage Education Project (CAHEP) produces a series of art cards to be used as a fundraiser. All of the proceeds from our card sales are put directly back into providing accessible, quality arts education programming for the schools and community of Thunder Bay. The artwork on these has been created by learners participating in CAHEP's programming.
CAHEP empowers children and youth in the community of Thunder Bay by creating and implementing accessible, multi-disciplinary arts and heritage programming and resources. Through this, people will discover the joy of arts and heritage within their own lives and create a legacy by fostering a commitment to culture.
SAULT SAINTE MARIE, Mich. – December 6, 2010 ---- The U.S. Coast Guard commenced Operation Taconite this afternoon in response to colder temperatures and the resultant ice growth in the western Great Lakes region.
Operation Taconite is the Coast Guard's largest domestic icebreaking operation, encompassing Lake Superior, St. Mary's River, the Straits of Mackinac, and northern Lake Huron.
As a result of the operation, certain waterways may close once due consideration is given to the protection of the marine environment, waterway improvements, aids to navigation, the need for cross-channel traffic (e.g. ferries), the availability of icebreakers, and the safety of the island residents, who in the course of their daily business use naturally formed ice bridges for transportation to and from the mainland.
THUNDER BAY, ON ------- December 5, 2010 --- All right, so it has been formally confirmed that Prince Andrew is a buffoon. What else is new? Quite a bit actually, and all of it is quite, quite scary.
Once the Wikileak and Guardian (q.v.) stories drawn from an immense cache of (ahem) secret American diplomatic messages were released, I knew that this was a subject that was going to require a reasonably deep analysis. For the past several years, people have been speculating on the subject of what 'new media' was going to look and feel like – such fabric ranged from kitten-soft woolies to a corduroy impossibly charged with enough static electricity to light the New York Times Building for a year.
Who was going to win out? The old media companies like the NY Times? The newer, gauche, arriviste typed like the septuagenarian Rupert Murdoch? Maybe sexy-looking and saucy web concoctions like Slate or Salon?
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- December 5, 2010 --- 'Tis the season for reflection, with the calendar quickly counting off the remaining days until the end of 2010. It is therefore, an appropriate time for us northerners to look back over the past to gauge where we are heading for 2011.
We can agree that we started off 2010 with not a lot of anticipation of good news. A number of mills across the region had recently closed with no signs of positive news approaching to get us back to any sense of prosperity.
I can think of many sad stories that were associated with almost every town. It was a sad visit to these towns as they struggled with continuing unheard levels of unemployment. Many of our workers headed out west yet some came back, learning that the grass isn't always greener. Families were unfortunately separated with the shift in employment opportunities.
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- December 5, 2010 – The City of Thunder Bay will be video streaming City Council and Council's Committee of the Whole meetings, starting with the Inaugural Meeting of Council on Monday, Dec. 6.
"By video streaming meetings and public events, Council agreed we would dramatically widen access to information and improve accessibility for interested people who cannot attend in person," said John Hannam, City Clerk.
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- November 29, 2010 The next Hepatitis C Education Support Group meeting will take place 11 a.m. (EST) December 8th at 574 Memorial Avenue.
Guest speaker Darlene Desmoulin-Lewis will give an overview of Hepatitis C. She's a Public Health Nurse in the Infectious Disease Program at the Thunder Bay District Health Unit.
If you live in the region and want to participate, please call us at 1-800-488-5840, ext. 31. You can join the group via videoconference, using the Ontario Telemedicine Network.
THUNDER BAY, ON ------ November 29th, 2010 ------ When Treydon Turner- Brien helped to carve his Paddle-to-the-Sea canoe as part of Nipigon's Centennial Celebrations in July of 2009, it was hoped that it would someday reach the Atlantic Ocean. After an amazing journey, Treydon's Paddler has gone much further than the original Paddle-to-the-Sea from the classic children's book by Holling C. Holling. The little canoe is about to be released into the salt waters of the South Pacific Ocean off of the coast of New Zealand.
The boat was carved by 3 year old Treydon, with the help of his grandfather Joe Turner, just before his family moved to Alberta. Treydon's family knew they would be moving, and the kids wanted to be part of Nipigon's story before leaving.
A stormy day in Pukaskwa National Park
Earlier this month, a kayaker in Pukaskwa National Park found himself stranded at the mouth of the Willow River in a storm. He saw Treydon's Paddler bobbing by the shore and went closer for a look. Somehow, Paddle had managed to travel more than 180km from Nipigon Bay to Pukaskwa. After reading the message on the boat, and showing Treydon's Paddle to Parks Canada staff working at the Pukaskwa Tourism Information Centre, he decided to carry Paddle on to Wawa.
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- November 28, 2010 ---- For curiousity's sake, I wonder how many readers know what legislative language actually looks like. In relation to the government's Bill C32, amending the Copyright Act, the following is how Parliament describes what you or I know as "a band putting out a CD":
It is for this reason that no Canadian Member of Parliament will never, ever be seen on stage doing a guest shot with the Tragically Hip.
That was a fairly cheap joke taken at a serious issue, but Copyright Law is dry enough to turn an ocean into a beach, so one must squeeze in the entertainment where one can. This week, a Murderer's Row of Canadian writers from Atwood to Yann Martel signed a letter printed as an ad in the Usual Prominent Dailies protesting C32. So what's the beef?
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- November 25, 2010 ---- Hundreds of First Nations telephone customers across Ontario are complaining about service providers failing to follow government direction to refund the provincial sales tax portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax.
"They don't have any problem finding the cheques we send them to deposit in their big corporate bank account," said Anishinabek Deputy Grand Chief Glen Hare. "But they seem to misplace our citizens' requests for their lawful refund of the 8 per cent PST that is still on their telephone bills."
Hare said he had heard horror stories from homeowners in the 40 Anishinabek Nation communities across Ontario who have spent hours on the phone trying to have Bell Canada, one of Canada's largest corporations, delete the PST from monthly phone, internet and satellite bills
THUNDER BAY, ON ----- November 24, 2010 ---- Thirty-two years ago Consortium Aurora Borealis began its first concert series in Thunder Bay. Then the young and energetic Elizabeth Ganiatsos was a music history teacher working out of the infamous Black Shack at L.U's campus. Her passion then and now is the performance of early music, especially that from the Elizabeth the 1st of England.
It was easy for her to recruit students and musicians from the university to help her produce these concerts and many of her history students found themselves on stage at one time or another. As the season's progressed the group began to perform in period dress. Elizabeth would scour the fashion journals of the era and over a period of years managed to costume the entire troop. It was all part of the show, no matter that the bloomers would not stay up. The addition of costumes and dancers to the productions added a visual element to her concerts and the largely amateur musicians did an admirable job they too relied on the visual element to help make the concert a success.
THUNDER BAY, ON ---- November 23, 2010 ---Today, the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation is celebrating another successful year of Family CARE Grants. Family CARE (Care Advancements Recommended by Employees) Grants were created as a way to provide Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre employees with an opportunity to steer patient care initiatives.
Last year's Family CARE Grants funded initiatives such as pagers for visually and auditory impaired patients in the Emergency Department, fitness programs for cancer patients, and an exercise bike, step machine and MP3 players in Adult Mental Health. "Because last year's grant cycle was so successful, we increased the funding by $10,000 this year, providing $30,000 towards initiatives recommended by the Health Sciences Centre family," says Glenn Craig, President and CEO of the Health Sciences Foundation.
NEW YORK -- November 24, 2010 --- A Connecticut-based Coast Guard cutter is scheduled to deploy to the Great Lakes Nov. 29, 2010, to assist in the service's icebreaking mission there throughout the winter months.
The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Morro Bay, an 140-foot icebreaking tug, will arrive in the Great Lakes region a few weeks after it departs its homeport of New London, Conn.
While there, the crew will assist those of other Coast Guard icebreakers during Operations Coal Shovel and Taconite, the largest domestic ice breaking operations in the country. The Coast Guard conducts domestic ice breaking to aid in search and rescue and other emergency operations, mitigate flooding, and to meet the reasonable demands of commerce.
Ice breaking on the Great Lakes is vital to keeping shipping lanes open. Large quantities of steel, coal, heating oil and grain ships throughout the region, and Coast Guard ice breaking services enable these shippers to transport an average of $2 billion worth of cargo each year.

THUNDER BAY, ON ------ November 24, 2010 ------ Childhood Obesity media messages continue to mislead our public to support special interest and very persuasive ad campaigns. This piece of writing is focused on the media, the weight loss industry and the concept of prevention. The lifestyle tool appears to be a very big tool used to scheme over to and slide into blame. Our media and food industries have been blaming TV's and couches for years and years. We, as a society have been standing by and watching our children get bullied, due to obesity and we are all shocked when we see young girls nearly starving themselves to death, in the hope of emulating the Hollywood image. The media continues to promote an image of woman to be extremely thin often wearing a bikini, with a perfect body.

THUNDER BAY, ON ---- November 21, 2010 ---Lawrencia Bembenek, former waitress at the Columbia Grill on May Street across from the Royal Edward Hotel died in Portland, Oregon Saturday. She had been admitted to a hospital in recent days and then was transferred to a hospice. Her health problems included hepatitis C and liver and kidney failure. Right to the end she continued to state her innocence
The Columbia Grill at the time was a place for Senior Police office to go for their coffee break as it was a short walk from the Donal Street Police Station which is now the Thunder Bay Museum.
The extradition hearings took place in the DaVinci Centre in one of the basement rooms. Everyone who dealt with her had nice things to say about her. People watching her walk in and out of the hearing rooms would comment that she does not look like a Play Boy Bunny.
The prison escape of former Playboy Club bunny and Milwaukee police officer Laurie "Bambi" Bembenek popularized the phrase "Run Bambi Run" and seemed tailor-made for the TV movie it inspired.

But in one of the stranger moments of the draft, the Baton Rouge Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year was on stage wearing a Portland cap talking with ESPN's Stuart Scott about going to the Chicago Bulls, the team that had the second pick and the team all-along expected to pick Thomas.
Apparently in the hours prior to
the draft, a deal was reached between Portland and Chicago in which the Bulls
picked LaMarcus Aldridge of Texas at No. 2 for Portland which then drafted
Thomas at No. 4. The deal would secure Aldridge for
But that announcement, although
made right before the Bulls selection on ESPN by Andy Katz based on league
sources and taken as a done deal by the television crew, had not been made
official at the podium by the NBA almost one hour after Thomas' selection by
Finally almost 90 minutes after
Thomas was selected by
Thomas, who helped LSU to the 2006 NCAA Final Four in his redshirt freshman season, becomes the fifth player from LSU to be drafted in the top four at LSU, joining Bob Pettit in 1954 (2nd pick, Milwaukee); Pete Maravich in 1970 (3rd pick, Atlanta); Chris Jackson in 1990 (3rd pick, Denver); Shaquille O'Neal in 1992 (1st pick, Orlando) and Stromile Swift in 2000 (2nd pick, Vancouver).
LSU Coach John Brady has felt all
along in the draft process that
"It's just a blessing to be here.
I'm in a great situation right now. I'm looking forward to being in
LSU women's star Seimone Augustus, the No. 1 pick in the 2006 WNBA draft gave the hopeful NBA star some pointers of draft night. "Just relax, enjoy the moment, go with the flow and make sure I look nice," said Thomas of his conversation with his friend whom he said prior to the draft would be one of the first people outside his family that he calls on his cell phone. In fact, according to NBA.com draft bloggers at The Theatre, after his interview with ESPN, Thomas was being led out to other draft obligations, high-fiving the fans and talking excitedly on his cell phone.
"(The Bulls) are young, they like
to run. Coach Skiles when I visited with him is a great teacher and a motivator.
Just the organization as a whole has a bright future so I'm looking forward to
doing some good things in
The following are quotes From Tyrus Thomas (after the trade was announced, finally wearing a Bulls cap) in the NBA
pressroom backstage at The Theatre at
Q -- It's been a long evening for you waiting to get up here. Were you guys sitting backstage waiting to switch hats?
Thomas -- "LaMarcus and I were backstage waiting for the trade to be finalized and we couldn't move until the trade was finalized so that was about an hour of agony. We knew where we were going but we couldn't do anything until the trade got finalized.
Q -- Tyrus, can you talk about how the trade developed and when you first heard about it.
Thomas -- "I knew
about the trade before the draft even began. I guess it was just a situation
Q -- What type of things were you and LaMarcus talking about in the back room?
Thomas -- "We were just clowning. We were relaxing. We knew where we were going. We were just happy to be here and how blessed we were to be in this situation and we are just anxious to get ready and started on a new career."
Q -- How do you
feel about fitting in
Thomas -- "I am just excited about the whole situation. I talked to (Coach Scott) Skiles and (GM John) Paxson while I was in the back. They know I'm ready to work and they are ready to push me to the limit to help develop me into a better player. I'm just excited about the prospects and ready to go to work."
Q -- You've been
loose since you've arrived in
Thomas -- "You've got to understand the situation. Once I got here, well actually before then, once my workouts were over, there wasn't much that I could control. I wasn't going to put myself under any pressure. I was just going to relax and have a good time."
