Liam Neeson was born on June 7, 1952 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, UK, to Katherine (Brown), a cook, and Bernard Neeson, a school caretaker. Liam worked as a forklift operator for Guinness, truck driver, assistant architect and an amateur boxer. He had originally sought a career as a teacher by attending St. Mary's Teaching College, Newcastle. However, in 1976, Neeson joined the Belfast Lyric Players' Theater and made his professional acting debut in the play "The Risen People". After two years, Neeson moved to Dublin's Abbey Theater where he performed the classics. It was here that he was spotted by director John Boorman and was cast in the film "Excalibur" as Sir Gawain, his first high-profile film role.
Through the 1980s Neeson appeared in a handful of films and British TV series - including "The Bounty", "A Woman of Substance", "The Mission", and "Duet for One" - but it was not until he moved to Hollywood to pursue larger roles that he began to get noticed. His turn as a mute homeless man in "Suspect" garnered good reviews, as did supporting roles in "The Good Mother" and "High Spirits" - though he also starred in the best-to-be-forgotten "Satisfaction", which also featured a then-unknown Julia Roberts - but leading man status eluded him until the cult favorite "Darkman", directed by Sam Raimi. From there, Neeson starred in "Under Suspicion" and "Ethan Frome", was hailed for his performance in Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives", and ultimately was picked by Steven Spielberg to play Oskar Schindler in "Schindler's List". The starring role in the Oscar-winning Holocaust film brought Neeson Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor.
Also in 1993, he made his Broadway debut with a Tony-nominated performance in "Anna Christie", in which he co-starred with his future wife Natasha Richardson. The next year, the two also starred opposite Jodie Foster in the movie "Nell", and were married in July of that year. Leading roles as the 18th century Scottish Highlander "Rob Roy" and the Irish revolutionary leader "Michael Collins" followed, and soon Neeson was solidified as one of Hollywood's top leading men. He starred in the highly-anticipated "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" as Qui-Gon Jinn, received a Golden Globe nomination for "Kinsey", played the mysterious Ducard in Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins", and provided the voice for Aslan in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".
Neeson found a second surprise career as an action leading man with the release of "Taken" in early 2009, an unexpected box office hit about a retired CIA agent attempting to rescue his daughter from being sold into prostitution. However, less than two months after the release of the film, tragedy struck when Richardson suffered a fatal head injury while skiing and passed away days afterward. Neeson returned to high-profile roles in 2010 with two back-to-back big-budget films, "Clash of the Titans" and "The A-Team", and returned to the action genre with "Unknown", "The Grey", "Battleship" and "Taken 2", as well as the sequel "Wrath of the Titans".
Neeson was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1999 Queen's New Year's Honours List for his services to drama. He has two sons from his marriage to Richardson: Micheal Richard Antonio Neeson (born June 22, 1995) and Daniel Jack Neeson (born August 27, 1996).

DIY Ice Cube Jewelry Guarantees A Chilled Out Summer
Do-it-yourself solutions make for a chill (and stylish) summer on a budget.
Mathery Studios has discovered a way to make ice even cooler this summer. The studio's Tumblr page features instructions for crafters to drop a piece of string or chain into an ice tray before freezing to make a necklace or bracelet with an ice pendant. The pendant takes about five minutes to make and is a fashionable alternative to a personal fan during sticky parades and humid days at the beach. Crafters can get creative with the pieces by inserting beads or other colorful pieces inside the ice to give the frozen accessory some flair.
The cubes function as wearable cooling mechanisms that the crafter can wear until the pendant melts, leaving the chain or string behind.
For Mathery's 100 Innovations in 100 days project, one of which was the ice cube jewelry, the crafty inventors also suggested projects from a pool floatation device comprised of plastic water bottles to a bike basket made of pinecones.
Playful and fun ice accessories are also a helpful tool for smaller tykes who need to keep cool in the sweltering heat. One Pinterest user provides instructions for colored ice play blocks that help babies develop sensory skills and provide a nice chill as they play poolside.
Whether its on a string or in the hands of babes, innovative companies like Mathery and many Pinterest users think ice is the way to go for some good, cheap DIY summer fun.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
The Influence of Immunosuppressive Therapy and Underlying Diseases on Vaccine Responses to Influenza A H1N1/09 Vaccines in Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases.
Gabay, Cem, Meier, Sara, Gascon, Danielle, Posfay-Barbe, Karin, Combesure, Christophe, Bel, M., Kaiser, Laurent
Influenza A H1N1 is a new virus that emerged in spring 2009 and rapidly spread around the world causing a pandemic. As patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) exhibit some form of immunodeficiency related to their diseases and the use of immunosuppressive drugs, the Swiss Society of Rheumatology recommended the vaccination of all IRD patients under immunosuppressive agents. However, two important questions remain unresolved: 1) are immunocompromised hosts able to raise successful vaccine responses, 2) is the use of adjuvanted vaccines safe in patients with autoimmune diseases.
To determine the efficacy and safety of influenza A H1N1/09 vaccine formulated in a lipid adjuvant (squalene) in patients with IRD.
Patients and Methods:
173 patients with IRD and 138 healthy controls were included from November 2009 to January 2010 in this prospective, open-labeled, single center, parallel-cohorts study. Among IRD patients, there were 82 cases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 45 cases of spondylarthropathies (SpA), and 46 cases of connective tissue diseases (18 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)) or vasculitis. All received a first vaccine dose and 154 (89%), the second prescheduled vaccine dose. Safety after vaccination was assessed, respectively, in 173 and 149 patients using medical history and clinical indices of disease activity (DAS28, RADAI, and HAQ for RA, BASDAI for axial SpA, SLEDAI for SLE, and BVAS for vasculitis). The kinetic of the vaccine response and antibody titers (using a standardized in-house hemagglutination inhibition assay) were assessed after the first and the second dose and compared to titers obtained in a control group of healthy individuals vaccinated once. Cellular immune responses to influenza H1N1/09 vaccine will be also determined in a subset of patients and controls.
Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs were used in 85% of RA, 63% of SpA, 94% of SLE patients; oral corticosteroids in 31% of RA, 11% of SpA, and 70 of SLE patients; anti-TNF in 43% of RA and 71% of SpA; and rituximab in 21% of RA and 11% of SLE patients. The different indices of disease activity were not significantly different at baseline and after vaccination. Despite immunosuppression, injection-site tolerability and systemic inflammatory reactions were similar in patients with IRD than in healthy controls. Seroprotection rates (defined by IHA titer >= 1/40) after dose 1 were 129/146 (88.4%) in controls and 103/138 (74.6%) in patients (P<0.001). This rate increased to 128/148 (86.5%) after 2 doses. The analysis of the pattern of vaccine immune responses in the different IRD patient groups is in progress and will be presented.
The adjuvanted vaccine against influenza A H1N1/09 is well tolerated and does not induce short-term exacerbation in patients with IRD treated with immunosuppressive agents.

Every Obama fan wanted on the guest list of the state dinner for French president Francois Hollande. So it was an extra-special favor for media figures to get the invite.
On the president's very exclusive guest list Tuesday night: Rev. Al Sharpton of MSNBC, fake-conservative Stephen Colbert, New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson, CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker, and two White House correspondents: AP's Julie Pace, and Bloomberg's Julianna Goldman. That wasn't all.
There were also several other journalist regulars there for familial reasons: ABC reporter Claire Shipman, the wife of White House press secretary Jay Carney, and former ABC "This Week" executive producer Ian Cameron, the husband of national security adviser Susan Rice. Victoria Moseley at ABC (now at CNN) is married to Thomas Nides, who was a Deputy Secretary of State for Hillary Clinton.
(Sharpton, 58, came with his gal pal Aisha McShaw, 35, a "personal stylist.")
Journalists would point out that Republicans are invited to state dinners, too, and the Obamas generally invite one or two. Last night they welcomed Rep. Eric Cantor, as well as Rep. Paul Ryan and his wife Janna. But journalists know that if they accepted the invite in the Bush years, other journalists would frown at them as looking like they compromised their journalistic independence.
The Obamas have held seven state dinners so far, and among the guests were all three current network evening news anchors, as well as a thank-you invite to Katie Couric for that Sarah Palin interview in 2008. Here's a list of some of the top media guests over the years:

Irans Gamble The Proliferation Sprint (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Gavriel Queenann 02/26/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/153176#.T0sItoeO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Iran stands at the threshold of a nuclear weapons capability as the world watches in indecision.
Sanctions, covert action, and diplomacy have failed to alter Irans nuclear policy. Nor have they had a visible effect Iran´s the enrichment program including Tehran´s growing stockpile of 19.75% low-enriched uranium (LEU).
Obtaining weapons-grade high-enriched uranium (HEU) is the most difficult and technically challenging obstacle to acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Assessing the breakout time the time required to convert LEU to weapons-grade HEU is therefore a critical component of determining progress toward a nuclear weapons capability.
Irans bank of rapidly spinning centrifuges has produced a growing stockpile of low-enriched uranium, able to fuel nuclear reactors, but able also to fuel nuclear weapons if further enriched. Enrichment raises the concentration of the uranium isotope U-235, which fissions in first-generation nuclear weapons.
As Iran increases its stockpile of low-enriched uranium, and its stockpile of uranium is enriched to 20 percent U-235, it will consolidate its status as a "virtual" nuclear weapon state.
Iran´s enrichment activities occur at its facilities in Natanz and Fordow. The Natanz facility is above ground and despite Iran´s attempts to protect it with anti-aircraft defenses and a fighter screen remains vulnerable to attack.
As a result, Iran has accelerated its uranium enrichment activities at the Fordow facility. The site once covert and grossly mischaracterized by US officials as a façade is buried in the side of a small mountain outside Qom.
Considered a "hard target" by military analysts, Fordow is the focus of intense scrutiny by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the subject of the nuclear watchdogs detailed analysis of Tehran´s weaponization work.
According the IAEA, Fordow began producing uranium enriched to 20 percent earlier this year and has recently seen an expansion of its advanced centrifuges the key and difficult-to-obtain component in enrichment activities.
These developments reduce the time Iran needs to produce fuel for a nuclear weapon and accelerate the stockpiling of weapons grade uranium. Should Iran choose to make a dash for a nuclear weapon, the world will be faced with a narrow window in which both to discover the move and take action to stop it.
The most recent IAEA report published earlier this month predicts Iran will possess enough 19.75% LEU for a 15 kiloton nuclear bomb sufficiently large to be strategically useful by 1 June 2012.
The worst case scenario is that Iran could reach the 90% HEU threshold for weapons grade uranium within one month of beginning its proliferation sprint. However, this scenario is considered highly unlikely and relies on contested technical assumptions about Iran´s enrichment capabilities.
Proliferation experts say the most likely scenario would be Iran´s reaching 90% HEU within 2.5 to 3 months of beginning its break-out.
A second concern is Iran´s attempts to render its critical centrifuge operations both more diffuse and impenetrable, which would take Iran into Defense Minister Ehud Barak´s "immunity zone."
At present the destruction of the Fordow and Natanz sites could set Tehran´s enrichment program back years, giving sanctions time to have their desired effect. While the Natanz site is vulnerable to attack, US officials have recently said neither Washington nor Jerusalem have the ability to penetrate the Fordow facility.
Simply destroying the Natanz facility while Fordow remains operational would only extend the window for an Iranian nuclear break out to perhaps one year rather than stopping it. According to Air Force officials, its current 20.5 foot-long Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) carries over 5,300 pounds of explosive material and is designed to penetrate up to 200 feet underground before exploding.
The mountain above the Iranian enrichment site at Fordow is estimated to be at least 200 feet tall, which has raised doubts about the MOPs ability to effectively destroy Fordow. Those doubts have prompted Pentagon officials this month to secretly submit a request to Congress for funding to enhance the bomb´s ability to penetrate deeper into rock, concrete and steel before exploding.
The push to boost the power of the MOP is part of stepped-up contingency planning for a possible strike against Iran´s nuclear program, say U.S. officials. US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has said the current generation of MOPs could cause "a lot of damage" to the Fordow facility, but wouldn´t necessarily destroy it outright.
"We´re developing it. I think we´re pretty close, let´s put it that way. But we´re still working at it because these things are not easy to be able to make sure that they will do what we want them to." he said. Panetta added: "But I´m confident, frankly, that we´re going to have that capability and have it soon."
As a result, Tehran finds itself facing a ticking clock of its own and will have to time its nuclear sprint should it choose to make one to beat Washington´s own rush for a bigger and better bunker- buster. The Air Force has so far contracted to buy 20 of the new bombs and more deliveries are expected in early 2013.
Israel has large bunker-buster bombs, but the US hasn´t provided the MOP to Jerusalem. Nor is Washington likely to provide Israel with its replacement in 2013. Analysts believe it is highly unlikely repeated strikes with Israel´s current bunker-busters would prove effective in destroying Fordow. Those doubts render an Israeli strike on Iran fraught with difficulty and potential failure.
This stark reality that Israel´s leaders must confront is rendered even more complicated and dangerous by the Obama administration´s diffident posture vis-a-vis taking direct military action against Iran. Washington has declared an Iranian nuclear bomb is "unacceptable," but refuses to commit to a strike on Natanz and Fordow should Iran choose to make a nuclear sprint.
That leaves leaders in all three capitals Jerusalem, Tehran, and Washington watching the clock and waiting for the starter´s gun to fire. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 02/26/12)

Detoxing the Breast
Cancer of the breast is the most common cancer among women. It is the second leading cause of death in women.
It is estimated that each year there are 175,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer.
And over 43,000 deaths occur each year due to breast cancer.
The numbers say 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer!
The human breast is a gland that contains milk ducts, lobes, fatty tissue, and a network of lymphatic vessels.
While there may be many reasons why a woman may develop breast cancer, one of the major contributing factors seems to estrogen.
Estrogen promotes cellular growth in the breast and reproductive organs.
With many contributing factors to breast cancer and no absolutes, and sometimes no rhyme or reason, we know the best route to take is always prevention.
So today we are talking about breast detoxification and prevention.
• Clean that liver. When the liver is toxic the liver cannot
metabolize estrogen. Good old coffee enemas, herbal formulas that detox the liver.
• Since we know that fat cells store toxins, detox the fat cells, alpha lipoic acid is great for that.
• Also, nothing like a fast, Isaiah 58
• Oxygen, oxygen, oxygen –
• CoQ 10 – improves cellular oxygenation
• Colostrum – promotes accelerated healing and boosts the immune functioning.
• DMG – improves cellular oxygenation
• EFA – needed for proper cell reproduction
• Garlic – enhances immune function
• Calcium D-Glucarate, primary evidence suggest that calcium D-Glucarate indirectly helps the body lower its burden of excess estrogen
• DIM – Diindolymethane is a substance also found in cruciferous veggies. It increases the metabolism of excess estrogen
• Iodine from kelp – an excellent detoxifier of the body, it is also shown to be beneficial with those concerned with fibrocystic breast.
• Red Clover – high in isoflavones and antioxidants and a good blood detoxifier
• L-Cystein – Combines with L-Glutamine to promote the synthesis of glutathione, a naturally occurring anti-oxidant and powerful detoxifier of the body.
• L-Methionine- A potent detoxifying agent, it is one the essential amino acids. Must take as a supplement.
• B-6 – Associated with reduced discomfort from breast tenderness
• Burdock – Blood and skin detoxifier, improves liver function as well as a great diuretic.
Eat 5 fresh fruits and veggies daily.
No under-wire bras
No chemicals – sodium laurel sulfate , etc.
No meats that are not organic and hormone free.
And of course exercise!
• The connection between exercise and cancer is fairly new of research. Some studies suggest that getting regular exercise in youth might give life-long protection against breast cancer.
• Even moderate physical activity as an adult may lower breast cancer risk.
• More research is underway in these findings.
• Outdoor exercise where you get some sun exposure also raises Vitamin D levels, low levels of vitamin D are associated with a greater risk of cancer.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Do it today!

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought ...
Boll-weevil's coming, and the winter's cold,
Made cotton-stalks look rusty, seasons old,
And cotton, scarce as any southern snow, ...
Ashen face, wool hat bobbing,
the young boy's eyes dart to me,
then up at the man pulling a rolling...
Toe after toe, a snowing flesh,
a gold of lemon, root and rind,
she sifts in sunlight down the stairs ...
I want no horns to rouse me up to-night,
And trumpets make too clamorous a ring
To fit my mood, it is so weary white ...
I like the generosity of numbers.
The way, for example,
they are willing to count...
Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room;
And hermits are contented with their cells;
And students with their pensive citadels; ...
From a documentary on marsupials I learn
that a pillowcase makes a fine
substitute pouch for an orphaned kangaroo. ...
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every Shepherd's tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move,...

Last weekend, New York Rangers star Sean Avery showed his support for same-sex marriage.
It didn't take long for someone to criticize him for his beliefs.
Todd Reynolds, vice-president of Uptown Hockey, a management group, tweeted that it was "very sad to read Sean Avery's misguided support of same-gender "marriage". Legal or not, it will always be wrong."
Reynolds would tweet twice more.
To clarify. This is not hatred or bigotry towards gays. It is not intolerance in any way shape or form. I believe we are all equal.
But I believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. This is my personal viewpoint. I Do not hate anyone.
Don Reynolds, president of Uptown Sports and father of Todd told Sean Fitz-Gerald of the National Post that ..."the majority, I think, of Canadians would say that they don't agree with gay marriage – that man and woman were created to be married, not man and man or man and horse, you know?"

Aaron Cook / Amaury Telemaco
These are tales from the brink. These are how two pro pitchers escaped death- one spiritual and one physical.
On August 7, 2004, Aaron Cook of the Colorado Rockies was warming up and was unable to catch his breath correctly. "The trainers couldn't figure out what was going on, so they sent me to the hospital for tests." After a few of those tests, doctors told him he had multiple blood clots in each lung. "In the hospital I was able to spend some good time with my family, and we discussed how God has a plan in everything...That lifted a big burden off my shoulders, knowing that if I can't control it, God's got it in His hands..."
Amaury Telemaco, pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, was 17 years old when he'd had enough of watching his parents and grandparents practice voodoo. Telemaco's sister led him to Jesus. "...She told me that Jesus was there and that Jesus paid the price for me," he recalls. Telemaco's off-seasons are spent preaching the gospel whenever and wherever he can. "Whatever (God) wants me to do, I will do. Wherever He wants me to go, I will go. It's not what Amaury Telemaco wants, it's what Jesus wants."

The manga begins a thousand years after humans flee from Earth, which was supposedly destroyed by the Gauna, aboard massive spaceships created from the remains of the planet. The Gauna follow the emigration ships into space, forcing the humans to create large mechanized weapons called Guardians (衛人 Morito) to protect themselves. Most people in the surviving human population are screened and drafted as Guardian pilots at a young age, if they are shown to be capable of piloting the mecha. The story focuses on one of such ships named Sidonia which has developed its own human culture closely based on that of Japan where human cloning, asexual reproduction and human engineering such as controlled hybrid human/animal mutations and human photosynthesis are commonplace.

Among the vaccines babies receive are Prevnar and HiB. Prevnar targets 7 strains of streptococcus pneumonia which causes pneumonia, acute otitis media (middle-ear infections), meningitis and bacteremia. The HiB, or haemophilus influenza type B, vaccine targets a bug which can also cause pneumonia, meningitis and other invasive diseases almost exclusively in children aged less than 5 years. Naturally, no-one wants their kids to get any of these infections.
The medical community has focused on the use of vaccines to prevent these diseases but in fact they can also be prevented by breastfeeding (5).
Many studies have found that breast milk effectively inhibits the colonization of babies' throats with HiB, Strep pneumonia, and other pathogens. A few examples:
Pediatrics International in June 1999:
"The incidence of H. influenzae in breast-fed infants, mixed-fed infants and formula-fed infants was 0, 0 and 7.0% respectively. The results suggest that the colonization of H. influenzae in the throat was inhibited by the presence of breast milk." (1)
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics in June 1999:
"No respiratory bacterial pathogens were detected in breastfed and mixed-fed infants (this included HiB and strep pneumonia). Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis were isolated from the oropharynx of formula-fed infants."(2)
Acta-Paediatrica-Japonica. 1994 Oct:.
"The adherence of Haemophilus influenzae and pneumococci for example to retropharyngeal cells is efficiently inhibited by human milk." (3)
That's right, these studies found that none of the exclusively or even partially breastfed babies had HiB or strep pneumonia in their throats. When it comes to HiB your baby benefits from any amount of human milk, even if it is supplemented with formula.
Amazingly, this protection extends beyond the nursing period. One Swedish study in the Int-J-Epidemiol. 1999 Feb found:
"There seems to be an association between high breastfeeding rate in the population and a reduced incidence of HI meningitis 5 to 10 years later." (2)
Now that you know you have an alternative to the vaccinations, you may also want to know that vaccinations may not eradicate disease, but rather displace it. Pathogens are part of the ecosystem and when you vaccinate against HiB, streptococcus pneumonia incidence increases in its place. When you vaccinate against the 7 most common strains of strep pneumonia, the other 83 strains, including several antibiotic resistant ones, become more prevalent. Children that receive Prevnar are at higher risk of contracting these other strains, including those that are antibiotic –resistant (7). I'm sure you have all heard of the new superbugs- they are a result of vaccination and antibiotic use. Nature compensates.
Unfortunately for me, I found this all out after I had had my son vaccinated with Prevnar and HiB. When I asked the clinic nurse whether she was aware of the protective effects of breastfeeding against these illnesses, she said yes, she was. When I asked her why doesn't the clinic tell mothers this, she replied that it's because they don't know how long we will breastfeed for. In addition to this, she told me that children under 1 year receive 3 shots of Prevnar, whereas kids over 1 year receive only 1, because infants' immature immune systems don't respond as well to the vaccine. And they don't even give Prevnar to children over 2 years of age!
Oh…OK. So rather than tell us that breastfeeding will protect our children from these invasive diseases and let us decide whether we want to nurse and/or vaccinate them, they say nothing and prophylactically vaccinate all children. Hmmm…This raises the question of who really benefits from this practice: the kids or the pharmaceutical industry?

Credit PK Subban with reigniting one of the oldest rivalries in hockey.
The only problem was his team was on the wrong end of his latest run-in with a division rival.
After riling up the Ottawa Senators (and Don Cherry) with his jersey pulling goal celebration after an overtime win earlier in the week, the Montreal Canadiens defenceman drew the ire of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night for taunting their bench after the Habs tying goal in the first period.
In response, Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk then openly mocked Subban's celebration after he scored the winning goal with five minutes left in the game.
The two players then continued to battle on the ice over the final minutes, with some pushing and shoving going uncalled as the officials watched on.
Speaking from his locker after what turned into a wildly entertaining, back-and-forth 5-3 win by the Leafs, the typically understated van Riemsdyk made it clear he felt Subban brought the whole thing on his team.
"We weren't too thrilled after their first goal," van Riemsdyk explained. "Their player was chirping our bench. I don't know. If they want to play that game, we can play it, too.
"I'm usually not one to engage in stuff like that, but I was a little bit fired up. It just kind of happened… I don't want to get too much into [what exactly was said]. But he was saying some stuff to our bench. It's hockey so… obviously there were some emotions that were fired up there."
Subban declined to speak with the media afterwards, but the reality was this was a heated contest even before his words perked up the Toronto bench.
Playing in their 50th game of what's been a trying season, the Leafs had one of their better nights of the year, especially off the opening faceoff, as they took the play to the Canadiens and hemmed them in the defensive zone. The pressure paid off almost immediately when Nazem Kadri pulled off a highlight reel deke through the legs of defenceman Alexei Emelin and fed teammate Cody Franson for the game's first goal five minutes in.
That got the Air Canada Centre crowd – which had heavy representation from Canadiens fans – to its feet and kicked off what was probably the most entertaining game Toronto has played in since last year's playoffs.
"That's the best start this hockey club's had since… I don't know if we've had a better one this year," Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said afterwards.
"It was a statement game for this team," Kadri said. "We came out there and we worked from beginning to end."
Kadri's name has been bandied about in trade rumours the last few weeks, and he responded on Friday after practice by telling the media that he doesn't want to be moved and this is his home.
He then went out and played one of his best games of the season, with two eye-opening assists (on the Leafs first and third goals) and a big hit on Andrei Markov in what turned into 20 minutes of ice time overall.
"We want consistency and we need Nazzy to continue to step up," Carlyle said, crediting Kadri's revamped line with Joffrey Lupul and Nikolai Kulemin for part of their strong showing.
Despite being outplayed through the first 15 minutes, before and after Kadri's goal, the Habs responded late in the first with a power play marker from Brendan Gallagher – the goal that led to Subban's comments to the Leafs bench.
Toronto then jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the second on goals by Phil Kessel and Mason Raymond, starting a seesaw battle that turned the other way late in the middle frame.
As the Leafs began to sit back, Montreal capitalized twice relatively quickly, beginning when defenceman Cody Franson whiffed on a clearing attempt and Brian Gionta put it back into the Leafs goal with 11 seconds left in the period. Then, as the Canadians started to take over in the third, David Desharnais tipped in a Subban point shot to tie the game with 11 minutes to play and the momentum appeared to be swinging their way.
But that merely set up van Riemsdyk's late heroics, with centre Tyler Bozak doing the winning goal's dirty work by collecting a loose puck and hitting the big winger in front with a nifty saucer pass.
Lupul closed out the scoring with an empty-netter with four seconds to play.
"We had some breakdowns," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien lamented after the game. "Usually we're more solid. We gave them some goals – there's three goals we gave them and they're not even supposed to be scoring chances. We're going to have to pay a lot of attention to that."
"It wasn't a bad effort," Gionta added. "We competed pretty good, but a couple mistakes led to their goals… It's heartbreaking for sure."
The win gave Toronto its first four-game winning streak of the season and the edge in the season series at two games to one, but it was the constant lead changes and budding animosity between the two teams that made Saturday's contest so much more compelling.
The Leafs and Canadiens had one high profile run-in last February that ended with Toronto winning 6-0 and involved its tough guys fighting smaller Habs players, but the anger over that one lopsided game appeared to dissipate over their next five meetings.
They have two more matchups after the Olympic break this season and may even meet in the first round of the playoffs under the NHL's new division-clash-heavy postseason format.
Players on both teams remarked how great the atmosphere had been in the building.
"It was a hard fought game," said van Riemsdyk, who now has three goals in three games on Canadiens netminder Carey Price this season. "It was a fun game for us to play in."
"When you play a team that you're trying to reach in the standings, it makes it even more important," added Leafs netminder Jonathan Bernier, who made 30 saves in the win. "You could feel there's a big rivalry between these two teams. That was a good [celebration] move I guess by JVR."
Carlyle, meanwhile, is hopeful that the win is a sign his team has turned a corner after losing four in a row and 11 of 16 prior to this latest win streak.
But even he could appreciate the battle that had taken place between the two long-time rivals.
"If you don't get shivers and chills for a Toronto-Montreal game on a Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada then I don't think you understand the true meaning of the game here in Canada," he said.

LONDON — Britain doesn't have to wait any longer: Prince William's wife, Kate, is pregnant.
St. James's Palace made the announcement Monday, saying that the Duchess of Cambridge — formerly Kate Middleton — has a severe form of morning sickness and is in a London hospital. William was at his wife's side.
The news drew congratulations from around the world, with the hashtag "royalbaby" trending globally on Twitter.
The couple's first child will be third in line to the throne — behind William and his father, Prince Charles — leapfrogging the gregarious Prince Harry and possibly setting up the first scenario in which a female heir could benefit from new gender rules about succession.
The palace would not say how far along the 30-year-old duchess is, only that she has not yet reached the 12-week mark.
Palace officials said the duchess was hospitalized with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that affects about 1 in 200 women and can lead to dehydration or worse if left untreated. They said she was expected to remain hospitalized for several days and would require a period of rest afterward.
Until Monday's announcement, the duchess had shown no signs of being with child. She was photographed just last week bounding across a field clad in black high-heeled boots as she played field hockey with students at her former school.
According to Britain's Department of Health, severe morning sickness most often affects women early in their pregnancy, and is more common in young women, women who are pregnant for the first time and those expecting multiple babies.
Dr. Daghni Rajasingam, a spokeswoman for Britain's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said women with severe symptoms — including dehydration, dizziness and persistent vomiting — need to be hospitalized for treatment, including being given fluids intravenously.
NEW YORK — The 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert will be broadcast across 34 U.S. and international television, radio and Internet across six continents.
Producers said in a Monday news release the concert will be available to 1 billion people across six continents.
Eric Clapton and Coldplay have been added to an already stellar lineup on Dec. 12 at Madison Square Garden that also includes Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Roger Waters and others.
Proceeds from the benefit go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which is helping victims of Sandy in hard-hit New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The November storm killed dozens and did billions of dollars in damage across the area.
BOSTON — Congressman-elect Joseph P. Kennedy III, the grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy, has married.
A spokeswoman says Kennedy and Lauren Anne Birchfield, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate from Houston, were married on Saturday at the Community Church in Corona del Mar, Calif., in a ceremony officiated by the bride's father, the Rev. Jim Birchfield.
Next month, Kennedy will take over the 4th Congressional District seat of the retiring Democratic Rep. Barney Frank.

By Pamela Redford, Fort Riley Public AffairsMarch 29, 2012
FORT RILEY, Kan. -- With the words, "Rest in peace, Soldier. Job well done," Sgt. 1st Class Hary received his final farewell from his loved ones at Fort Riley.
Soldiers with the 97th Military Police Battalion celebrated the life of military working dog Hary during a memorial ceremony March 15 at Fort Riley's K9 section kennels.
The life of a MWD is commemorated in the same way as a Soldier, with the rendering of military funeral honors for the veteran.
An honor guard detail stood still and silent for Hary that morning. And while there was no next of kin to receive Hary's folded American flag, the 97th MP Bn. took great care to place it between two funeral flower easels filled with white blossoms.
Hary's photo rested beneath his urn, adorned with his dog tags and flanked by his water bowl, leash and favorite toys. His Army Commendation Medal was displayed along with the battalion commander's coin.
Hary's life and accomplishments were read to the attendees by Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Lewis, kennel master.
"Hary, though you are gone, you will never be forgotten. You had a tremendous impact on multiple handlers within this section. Goodbye our friend, goodbye our comrade, goodbye our guardian of the night," Lewis said.
Sgt. Nicholas Milbank read the anonymous poem, "Guardians of the Night," -- a poem which has significant meaning to MWD handlers. The firing of three rifle volleys followed, after a moment of silence.
Taps, the bugle call used in military funerals by the U.S. Army since 1874, rang out in farewell to the dog who gave his entire adult life in service to the U.S. Army and Fort Riley.
Two by two, the "Guardians" went forward for one last salute as "Amazing Grace" played softly.
Hary's headstone was visited by every person who attended. It reads, "Military Working Dog Hary F566, August 02 -- February 2012: Soldier, Friend, Partner."
Hary was born August 2002. He became a MWD at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. During his tenure, he was trained in patrols and narcotics detection. On May 20, 2004, Hary was transferred to Fort Riley where he utilized his narcotics detection skills for eight years totaling 191 narcotics call outs and more than 103 finds.
During his enlistment, Hary deployed to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom 06 - 08. Hary supported force protection at the main entry control points and narcotics suppression.
Upon his redeployment, Hary returned to Fort Riley in November 2005 where he continued to serve the Fort Riley community with more than 416 law enforcement patrols. On Feb. 1, 2012, Hary was laid to rest.

Ashburn, Va. • The wealthiest county in America is settled deep in 4 a.m. slumber when Neal Breen threads the mini-mansion subdivisions and snow-blanketed fairways on his way to open shop.
There's two hours yet before the business day begins, but Breen, who is 21, has plenty to do after flipping on the lights. Donning a green apron without taking off his tweed cap, he boils the first of more than 500 bagels, then shovels them into a waiting oven. When the early risers step from their cars at a few minutes past 6, a chalkboard meets them at the door: "Breakfast of Champions."

Walking School Bus overview
Walking school buses (WSBs) are operated by volunteer parents and caregivers and are well supported by Schools and Auckland Transport. There are over 1400 volunteers in the programme and these volunteers play a vital role, because without them, there wouldn't be walking school buses.
With the help of our WSB volunteers, the programme has grown from strength to strength in the 2013 school year. There are now 362 active WSBs across the Auckland region and the benefits of the programme are as follows:
· Contributes to a reduction in pedestrian related crashes for children aged between 5 to 8 years.
· Reduces the number of cars on the road during the morning and afternoon peak, improving safety and creating less congestion around the school gate.
· The children develop a sense of independent and learn valuable road safety skills.
· Fosters a sense of community as families get to know each other, and their children become friends.
WSB statistics and highlights:
· There are currently 362 active Walking School Bus routes across the Auckland region.
· There are 1,239 daily trips taken on the Walking School Bus.
· There were 2754 engagements with Walking School Bus parent coordinators or volunteers in 2013.
· 34% of Walking School Bus volunteer coordinators note that the Walking School Bus fuels community spirit within their neighbourhood.
· We provided 42 Volunteer Professional Development sessions across the region in 2013. Topics include first aid, recruiting volunteers and succession planning. We had 375 volunteers attend these events and as such, these events allowed us to communicate, engage and support new and existing volunteers.
