Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/5/2013 (1559 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
"If you forget where you left your car keys, that's normal. If you forget what your keys are for, you had better pay attention."
That may be the most useful paragraph I've ever read to help me understand the effect of aging and other factors on cognition and mental functions. This was in a pamphlet produced by the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba, which is a great source of info and support for people with family members showing potential signs of dementia.
But this is not a health column, so today is about making the proper arrangements before diminished capacity becomes a financial management issue for you.
We have seen the costs and complications that arise when people fail to make proper arrangements for the management of their affairs, in the event they become incapacitated.
The main preparation is to sign a legal document called a power of attorney. In this document, the "donor" -- the person signing the form -- empowers someone else to act as their "attorney." This does not mean "lawyer" in this context; it really means personal representative.
The powers bestowed upon the attorney can be very limited. For example, the document might only allow the attorney to sign documents for a single transaction or to have administrative power over a certain bank account or investment account.
Usually, however, it is in the form of a general power of attorney, which grants broad powers and allows the attorney to transact virtually any business on behalf of the donor.
To be useful in the example of diminished mental capacity, it must also be an "enduring" power of attorney. This means the appointment will survive your incapacity, allowing your attorney to manage your affairs if you lose legal capacity.
Clearly, this is a very powerful appointment, so it is a choice to be made very carefully. You want someone you can trust and who will exercise good judgment.
Often, people will name two attorneys to act jointly, which gives confidence one will look after the other. Alternatively, a licensed trust company can be named as your attorney. The Manitoba Public Trustee can also be named as attorney by people with estates of $250,000 or less.
In Manitoba, the attorney must make an annual financial reporting to the donor's closest relative or a representative named by the donor at the time of signing the form.
There are limits to the powers of the attorney and those are good to understand. The public trustee has a publication on its website called A Legal Information Guide for Seniors, which explains all this as well as information on wills and health-care directives (www.gov.mb.ca/publictrustee).
Many people have said to me, "Oh yes, I've got that taken care of. I named someone as my executor in my will."
Wrong. Your will and your power of attorney are completely separate documents and can never both be effective at the same time. The power of attorney is only valid while you are alive. The powers granted by this document stop when you pass away and your named attorney no longer has any authority over your affairs.
The minute you die, the person named as executor in your will becomes your personal representative. In many cases, this is the same person but even in that example, the role and powers change.
For an in-depth look at this topic, my Free Press colleague John Poyser, a legal specialist in this field, is conducting an "Attorney School" on June 1. It will focus on helping people who are named as attorneys but would also be useful from a donor point of view.
You can get full information by calling The Knowledge Bureau at 1-866-953-4769 (toll-free).
If you are looking at being named as an attorney, this is likely a very good investment.
Dollars and Sense is meant as an introduction to this topic and should not in any way be construed as a replacement for personalized professional advice.

Saving Rhinos with Poison
The news only gets worse for Rhinos. South Africa has announced 688 rhinos have already been killed by poachers this year, surpassing last year's record total of 668. Armed rangers and strict anti-poaching laws seem to have little effect due to the high price of rhino horn on the black market. At Royal Malewane Game…

SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons will open its new city-centre store in York on Monday.
The 'M Local' shop in Spurriergate will create 20 new jobs, the company has said.
Lenny Bear, the St Leonard's Hospice mascot, and Vikings from the Jorvik centre will attend the grand opening at 9am.
Gemma Hayes-Logan, store manager, said: "We can't wait to open on Monday and I'm sure customers will love the store. We've been out to introduce ourselves to the local community and I'm pleased that Lenny Bear and members from the City's popular Jorvik Viking Centre will join us on Monday to officially cut the ribbon.
"We'll also have a community noticeboard inside the store, which we'd encourage customers and other local businesses to use to help promote local events. We hope shoppers will come in and give us a try."
The Morrisons shop is the latest in a wave of new supermarket openings in York city centre in recent years. Since 2010, Tesco has opened in Low Ousegate, Piccadilly and Goodramgate, while Sainsbury's is planning to open in Micklegate.
A Morrisons spokesman said the new store would feature a 'Food to Go' section, selling fresh coffee, pastries, and bacon sandwiches, as well as a salad bar. After the opening day, the store will open from 7am to 11pm daily. A series of licensing restrictions were agreed earlier this year, to try to minimise the impact of alcohol sales from the shop on city-centre drunkenness and antisocial behaviour.

It has been stated in the hadiths that there is a treasure underneath the Kaaba
It has been stated in the hadiths that there is a treasure underneath the Kaaba
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated November 15th, 2013
Adnan Oktar: Our Prophet (saas) says that there is a treasure hidden underneath the Kaaba. That is something not known at all, who knows what will be discovered there. In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), a search will be conducted underneath the Kaaba. We will find remains dating ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand years back. We will find remains from those periods. We will see that even in those periods people believed in God and that there was belief in one God. These will be very important proofs. Our Prophet (saas) also foretells that Istanbul will be in the hands of Muslims, it is amazing that has infallibly been the case. In fact, just to prove this hadith wrong, they could have pressed and taken over Istanbul. But this is how it is in the destiny. It has to be in the hands of Muslims. Now, in the upcoming days another comet will appear. A very big, important comet will appear and that will also be a remarkable portent insha'Allah.

Ship Weight:0.30 Monoi Tiare Tahiti Coconut Suntan Oil Sunscreen Tiare (Gardenia) 2 SPF 4 oz. (120 ml) Monoi Tiare Tahiti Coconut Suntan Oil Tiare (Gardenia) SPF 2 is an authentic blend of pure coconut oil delicately scented with fresh Tiare flowers. Apply on the body for soft skin. Tiki Tahiti Coconut Oil helps maintain hair strength. This is simply a sunscreened version of the original Monoi Tiare Tahiti. Since all oils strenghten the effect of the sun on your skin, Monoi Tiare Suntan Oil has an SPF factor of only 3. Monoi Tiare Tahiti makes delightfully scented oils for deep tanning, massage, dry skin, moisturizing baths, hair and scalp conditioning, just a dab for an alluring fragrance. In the native Tahitian language, Monoi (pronounced Mon-oy) translates to "scented oil." It is a completely natural product which has long been revered by Polynesians for its skin moisturizing virtues. Monoi is specific to French Polynesia and is traditionally made from "tiare" (pronounced Tea-a-ray) flowers (Gardenia tahitensis) soaked in the highest grade coconut oil. For centuries, Polynesian women's beauty secret has remained unchanged: MONOI. What is remarkable is that the monoi manufactured by Parfumerie TIKI since 1942 has lost nothing of the ancient benefits and still remains a cosmetic product in daily use. Contrary to the message given out to the general public in the media, monoi is much more than a simple sun-care product. It is mainly used to moisturize skin and protect hair: For the body: As a result of its powerful moisturizing properties, Tiki Tahiti Tiare Monoi is beneficial for moisturizing the body and is recommended to people suffering from dry and very dry skin. Applied after a bath or as drops diluted in the bath, monoi leaves the skin satiny and delicately fragranced. Monoi penetrates instantly into the skin and, used daily, provides natural moisturizing. It can be applied selectively to drier areas of the body, legs or elbows. TIKI Tahiti tiare monoi is a high quality and completely natural after-sun products since they leave a non-greasy moisturizing barrier on the skin. For hair: Monoi's protective properties are proven by the sumptuous hair of Polynesian women. Daily application to the ends of the hair balances the hair's texture. As a weekly hair-care mask, it is a fantastic beauty treatment for your hair. To do this, simply apply monoi generously to all hair when dry and wrap hair in plastic wrap for 30 minutes. After rinsing thoroughly, hair must be carefully washed. Before exposure to the sun, swimming in the sea or in a swimming pool, it is strongly advised to protect the hair with a few drops of monoi applied all over the hair. For the face: TIKI Tahiti tiare monoi is a totally natural product and can therefore be used without any risk as a facial beauty product. Any excess can be removed by simply wiping off with a soft face tissue. TIKI Tahiti tiare monoi leaves a water-resistant film on the skin which protects against cold, sea salt and wind damage. Warmed in the palm of the hands, it is ideal for massaging aching areas or to revive a feverish body. It is an effective after-sun which soothes sunburn. The Original Monoi oil since 1942. MONOI TIARE TAHITI is a French-Tahitian cosmetic oil consisting of pure coconut oil and the fragrance of tiare, the Tahitian Gardenia. The product is a refinement of an ancient Polynesian beauty secret and has been manufactured commercially since 1942. Centuries ago the people of Polynesia discovered that pure coconut oil is an essential secret for beautiful skin and hair. Coconut oil is a natural replacement for your body's skin and hair oils. The coconut oil used in Monoi Tiare Tahiti is so highly refined that it is quickly absorbed by your skin. This Tahitian beauty secret is now available to you. No one knows either who first thought of combining the local tiare flowers with coconut extract to obtain a mixture just as exotic as its Polynesian name, MONOI, which in r'eo-maohi, their ancient language, literally means "scented oil". What is known for sure is that several ancient documents dating as far back as the 18th Century, when the first Europeans navigators like James Cook came to visit the Polynesian Islands, already mention MONOI and its regular cosmetic use by the natives. Those documents also relate how, according to traditional oral legends gathered by the new visitors, MONOI always played an important role in the Polynesians' long standing traditions and culture and how it was so well integrated in their daily lives that they even brought it along in their famous crafts to protect their bodies from the elements during long journeys of discovery at sea. Mixed with Tiare petals for example, (or even with some other local flowers) which were soaked into unrefined coconut oil for several days, Monoi was preserved by the natives into various recipients for daily cosmetic use or for personal care, for popular cures and even for religious rites. In traditional medicine, MONOI was the most popular remedy, which the natives used to soothe a variety of ailments such as earaches, headaches or even mosquito bites. But the Polynesian used it especially in the refined art of therapeutic massages to which they attributed great healing powers. Nowadays, the undeniable benefits of MONOI are still much appreciated by the Polynesians who really enjoy using it to help relax their muscles and soothe their restless minds, before undertaking world-famous canoe races. At birth, babies were covered with MONOI from head to toe and that simple ritual protected the newborns from most certain dehydration during extremely hot spells while it also served as the best natural antiseptic against mosquito bites. At death, the body of the deceased was carefully embalmed and perfumed with MONOI to help him accomplish this last great journey surrounded by the comfort of a familiar odor & In popular tradition, MONOI has followed the Polynesian people throughout their lives and apart form the religious rituals which no longer exits, it remains an integral part of their rich culture heritage. Throughout centuries, MONOI has played an important role in the Polynesian way of life, whether during ancestral rites, in traditional medicine, local pharmacopoeia or in their personal care. Today, MONOI is still regarded as one of the main pillars of the rich Polynesian culture. For generations, forever, the secret of beautiful Tahitian women has always been the same. the MONOI de TAHITI. A completely natural product with legendary virtues, the MONOI de TAHITI has endured the test of centuries without losing any of its unique qualities. Today, more than ever, it is an exceptional cosmetic and an ideal skin and hair care cosmetic. A naturally multi-purpose product and unmatched moisturizer, the MONOI de TAHITI deserves its rightful place in any modern-day bathroom next to other famous popular brand-names. Enjoy some Monoi Tiare products today. It's as close as you can come to discovering some of the true pleasures of tropical Tahiti without being there!

When it comes to potlucks and dinner parties, we've never met one we didn't like* ‑ and we've never liked them more than when there's a theme.
*see here, here and here for proof.
Seeing as how coffee is the life force that gets you through your day, may we suggest it as the main ingredient in your next potluck? With a strict rule of "no coffee cake" you're sure to see some interesting dishes. Just be sure to supply your guests with a sleeping pill on their way out, lest you want your friends to rue the day you were born as they lie wired in bed that night.
Below are four coffee-centric courses and some interesting recipes for each. But remember, just as you wouldn't use a cheap wine to cook with, you shouldn't use crappy coffee either. Sticking to the rule "If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it" also applies to java.
Coffee makes for a great tried-and-true cocktail, like in the Irish Coffee or White Russian, but you can offer your guests something new and fun (and delicious!) with these crafty cocktail recipes.
Drunken Donuts Cocktail (pictured above) ‑ Alie & Georgia (we had to)
Francis the Mule ‑ from Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh via Imbibe
Mexican Coffee Cocktail ‑ from This Girl Walks Into A Bar
Orange Coffee Cocktail ‑ from Drinks Mixer
While your guests are sipping their coffee cocktail concoctions, pass these apps to get everyone buzzing and prepped for the caffeinated dinner to come.
Coffee-Chipotle Brisket Sliders ‑ from Daily Waffle
Spicy Coffee-Glazed Meatballs ‑ from That's So Michelle
Barbecue Chicken Hoecakes with Vinegar Slaw ‑ from Art Smith via Epicurious
Devils on Horseback ‑ from Marvin Gapultos via Serious Eats
Main course:
Coffee and meat, together at last. Try a simple dry rub or coffee-infused barbecue sauce, or go crazy and add some joe to your sides and veggies for a little bit of bitter smokiness.
Babyback Ribs with Espresso Barbecue Sauce ‑ from Michael Chiarello
Coffee and Molasses-Brined Pork Chops ‑ from Yummly
with Coffee Gravy ‑ from Sandra Lee
Spicy Vegetarian Chili with Coffee ‑ from Food Network
Candied Sweet Potatoes (with Kahlua) ‑ from George Duran
Pot-Roasted Celery Root with Olive & Buttermilk ‑ from René Redzepi via Bon Appetit
We've proven that coffee tastes great in any course, but let's face it, the bean's best friend is dessert. We like to think out of the box when it comes to themed dinners, so forget standbys like tiramisu and cappuccino cheesecake and instead wow your guests with something they've never tried before.
Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Coffee Frosting ‑ from Virtually Homemade
Coffee Toffee ‑ from Smitten Kitchen
Coffee Jello ‑ from The Food Librarian
Espresso-Chocolate Shortbread Cookies ‑ from Smitten Kitchen
Mocha-Mousse with Sichuan Peppercorns ‑ from Raquel Carena via Gourmet
Now that your guests are nicely satiated and just a tad bit overcaffeinated, passing out a warm cup of chamomile with a splash of fernet, alongside a Tylenol PM, will close out the night nicely.

When we started the Harvest Festival and Harvest Feast in our tiny village of Sharon Springs, NY, four years ago, our goal was to engage the community in the support of the local farmers and food producers and perhaps introduce a few "outsiders" to the rich agricultural history of Schoharie County, "the breadbasket of the American Revolution." That first year 500 people came — and we were thrilled (there's only a little over 500 people in the entire village).
This year's Harvest Festival was Sept. 15 and 16 and more than 10,000 people from 22 states and four countries passed through Sharon Springs. It is testament to what a small community can achieve when it works together toward a common goal.
The dates for next year's festival are Sept. 21 and 22, so start making plans now!
We'd love to show off our community to you!

WARREN, Mich. -
Police said the unidentified parts were found by a crew who was working 85 feet below the ground in the area of 10 Mile and Schoenherr roads.
A construction crew found two 4-inch squares of human flesh with body fat attached. The suspicion is that a white person was murdered and the killer severed the body and dumped pieces into a man-hole cover.
"You wonder what mind set would actually do something like that. So that's scary, especially behind my house, and we have small grand kids. It's unnerving," said Lisa Nolen, who lives nearby.
Warren police say initial testing offered preliminary results that are not especially helpful to their investigation.
"The DNA profile did not come up with a match in any of the database banks," said Warren police Det. Met Nearing.
Had workers not found the remains they likely have been ground up in the Detroit sewer system. There is no report of anyone missing who might match the remains.
Police are working to find out if the remains match those which were found by sewer workers in Sterling Heights in August.
"It's the same the person and the body parts have been dumped at different times, or this is a completely different person and we won't know until we get DNA test results back," said Nearing.
Body parts found earlier this year in nearby Sterling Heights
In a similar situation, body parts were found by sewer workers in Sterling Heights in August.
The remains got caught on a metal grate, which workers were using for their repair operations 50 feet below the surface.
In that case, police said some of the body parts had tattoos on them but they have not lead to a positive identification of the victim yet.

THE Scouting movement in Darwen has reported a 5.8 per cent growth in membership in the past three years.
Bosses also revealed the number of adult volunteers had shot up 19.75 per cent in five years to 97 and female membership had gone from 28 to 43 since last year.
Leaders say the increase in membership locally reflects the latest census figures which provide evidence of sustained growth across the UK for the ninth consecutive year.
The Scout Association plans to recruit a further 58,000 more young people, as well as 18,000 more adult volunteers, by 2018.
Luke Thompson, a Scout leader from Bold Venture Park Scout Group, said: "Being a scout leader is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done."
Chief Scout Bear Grylls said: "I am super proud to see so many young people and adults learning new life skills, achieving personal rewards through Scouting in Darwen."

A 49-YEAR-OLD woman continued to claim benefits despite working at two nurseries.
Blackburn magistrates heard Karen Landon received a total overpayment of £2,198 during the six months she was working at Little Craft and Safe Hands nurseries.
Landon, of Mount Street, Accrington, pleaded guilty to failing to notify a change of circumstances that affected her entitlement to job seekers' allowance, housing, and council tax benefits.
She was given a conditional discharge for two years, and ordered to pay £100 costs.
Scott Parker, defending, said it had been a legitimate claim for benefits when Landon was unemployed.
"She was offered work, but the hours and wages varied from month to month," said Mr Parker.
"Had she contacted the department, she may well have been eligible to keep some of her benefits."

Kenny Loggins is The King of the Movie Soundtrack.And. on Friday, Jan. 18, at 4:15 p.m., the Blue Sky Riders trio will perform, featuring Kenny Loggins, at the Sundance Film Festival's ASCAP Music Café.Loggins' credits include "I'm Alright" from "Caddyshack," the title song from "Footloose," and "Danger Zone" from "Top Gun.But. on Friday, Jan. 18, at 4:15 p.m., even though he is at a film festival, Loggins and his bandmates Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr will not be playing any of those songs.They will deliver an acoustic set of songs the trio has written over the last few years that show a different side from the man that once cut footloose kicking off his Sunday shoes and rode a highway to the danger zone, shovin' into overdrive."I hit a place where I wanted new inspiration," Loggins, 65, said. "I didn't want to repeat myself or imitate myself."The genesis for Blue Sky Riders when Loggins got together with well-known Nashville songwriter Gary Burr to write songs for Loggins' most 2007 solo album, "How About Now." Then they regrouped to co-write the theme song for a TV pilot, and Loggins realized that he wanted to be in a group again.However, there was one more things Loggins needed. "I had an intuitive feeling that we needed a third voice," he said.Enter Georgia Middleman, who was dating Burr at the time. "Gary told me that Kenny wanted to start a band together," Middleman said."The group's first album, "Finally Home," will be released on Jan. 29.Also performing at the Sundance Film Festival's ASCAP Music Café is Greg Holden, whose name you might not immediately recognize but you know the song he has written.Holden co-wrote "Home," the largely acoustic debut single and coronation song from "American Idol" season 11 winner Phillip Phillips. It has reached No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard singles chart and has had the biggest digital sales week for any Idol winner's coronation song, and it became the best selling of all coronation songs beating out Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood."'Home' was written about something personal in my life," Holden said. "It reminds me of someone I cared about that was going through a tough time."The song was written with Drew Pearson, who has worked with numerous "American Idol" contestants over the years, and it was Pearson's connections to the FOX-televised singing competition that led to the song being chosen for Phillips. "I never expected to be picked," Holden said. "It was winning the lottery."While Holden, born in Scotland but raised in England, is proud of the song, he is excited about jump-starting his own solo career. Now living in Brooklyn, Holden has Holden has toured throughout Europe and the United States as a headliner as well as opening for Ingrid Michaelson.Holden admitted that after a period being a songwriter for others, he needs to get back into the song-writing process for his most important client: himself. "I spent the whole time writing for other people," he said. "I'm trying to remember what is to write for myself."Alex Brown Church better known as the leader of folk band Sea Wolf has performed at Sundance Film Festival's ASCAP Music Café about a half-decade ago, and said he is happy to be returning to the "snowy" place that he remembers."We were there for one day," Church said. "We didn't see any movies. This time we'll have two days, [so we] hope to see some movies."Church's most recent album is 2013's "Old World Romance," which he recorded, wrote and produced by himself. "I feel like I had the confidence and experience to do it," he said.That experience came from Church's first-ever solo acoustic tour he embarked on in 2010. Church, typically accompanied by a five-piece band, scaled back his performances and found it challenging. "Playing by myself, all of the attention is on me," he said. "It really forced me to address my shyness."Also performing at Sundance Film Festival's ASCAP Music Café is Portland native Dave Berg, who will be promoting his own material at the Café though he is best known in Nashville circles as a successful songwriter. His credits include the No. 1 country hits "Somebody" by Reba McEntire, "If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)" and "These Are My People" by Rodney Atkins, and "Moments" by Emerson Drive. He has also co-written singles for Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, and others.Berg has performed in Utah before, most notably during the summer at Sundance Resport when the resort schedules its acclaimed Bluebird Café Concert Series."I'm a lover of film," Berg said. "Most of the great music I've loved recently came from movies."Berg will be performing acoustic material from "Not Quite So Alone," an album to be released at the end of January. Then it is back to Nashville, writing songs for other people. which he doesn't mind one bit. "Nashville now is extraordinarily talented," he said. "It's an exciting place to be."At this year's Sundance ASCAP Music Cafe, at 750 Main St., there will be a new nightly showcase (open to all credential holders) curated by Los Angeles radio station KCRW-FM."I get the sense that [Sundance] wants to bloster their music offerings," said Jason Bentley, KRCW music director. Andrew Bird and Jenny Lewis are among performers slated for night performances during the first weekend. Bentley mused that Sundance officials might like to emulate the success of the Sundance London Film and Music Festival, where music has had more of an emphasis than in Park City.Bentley and DJ Anne Litt will co-host live radio broadcasts from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 19, and Sunday, January 20 at the Acura studio space inside the Park City Museum, with luminaries in both the film and music world planning on dropping by.Highlights from the nighly showcases will air on KCRW's iconic "Morning Becomes Eclectic" the following week, while the Festival is still underway.KCRW's nighttime showcases and live broadcasts in Park City, Utah during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival mark the first-ever formal programming collaboration between the independent film festival and a radio station."They approached us, and they were like-minded," Bentley said. "We were cut from the same cloth."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville man was arrested Wednesday, charged with hacking into celebrity email accounts in a computer invasion scheme that led to the posting of private and revealing information, including nude photos of actress Scarlett Johansson, on the Internet, federal authorities said.
Christopher Chaney, 35, was arrested without incident as part of a yearlong investigation of celebrity hacking that authorities dubbed "Operation Hackerazzi."
There were more than 50 victims in the case, including Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and actress Renee Olstead, authorities said. Others were named only by initials and investigators wouldn't disclose if they were famous, but said victims named in the indictment agreed to have their identities made public.
"It helps get out the message that cyber-hacking is a real threat," U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte said of the case, describing those who engage in such activity as "scum."
Chaney hacked Google, Apple and Yahoo email accounts beginning last November through February, then hijacked the forwarding feature so that a copy of every email received was sent, "virtually instantaneously," to an email account he controlled, according to an indictment handed up Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles.
He allegedly used the hacker names "trainreqsuckswhat," ''anonygrrl" and "jaxjaguars911," and also used the victims' identities to illegally access and control computers. Chaney is accused of damaging email servers that caused losses of at least $5,000 per instance.
Authorities wouldn't say whether Chaney was able to access email accounts via cell phones, but he was able to figure out secure passwords to various celebrity accounts through information that had been made public.
Chaney was arrested by the FBI at his Westside home Wednesday morning and made his initial court appearance in the Jacksonville Federal Courthouse on Wednesday and charged with 26 counts of identity theft, unauthorized access to a protected computer and wiretapping. If convicted, he faces up to 121 years in prison.
Chaney was released to the custody of his parents on $10,000 bail, with one of several conditions being that he have no access to any computer or other device that has access to the Internet. He arrived at his parents' home Wednesday evening, but refused to answer any questions.
He left a note outside his home for the media Thursday that reads, "I understand you are only doing your jobs. I do not resent this or blame the media for trying to get the 'hot' story. I deserve this. My family and neighbors do not. ... Again I apologize and know you have your jobs to do."
Chaney's parents told Channel 4 their son is very smart and just had too much time on his hands.
Celebrities and people in the news have long been targets of privacy invasion but concerns have redoubled in the Internet age.
Authorities said Chaney was responsible for stealing nude photos taken by Johansson herself and were later posted on the Internet. Chaney offered some material to celebrity blog sites but there is no evidence that he profited from his scheme, said Steven Martinez, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office.
"Celebrity information is highly marketable," said Martinez, who added his office continues to receive complaints about celebrities having their personal information breached.
Representatives for Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment.
Chaney "mined through publicly available data and figured out passwords and security questions," Martinez said.
A message seeking comment was left on an answering machine for a Christopher Chaney in Jacksonville. There was no answer at a telephone listing for another Christopher Chaney.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Chaney pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud charges in 1998 in a case involving Prudential Insurance.
Investigators said they hoped the celebrity-infused case will jumpstart those who don't value online security enough to protect their personal information and create more secure passwords that can't be easily figured out by would-be hackers.
"Taking these steps will go a long way in protecting yourself from the financial and emotional costs of having someone intrude on your private life and potentially steal your identity," Birotte said.

PHILADELPHIA- Freshman Noel Jancewicz earned the first Penn Relays title of 2014 on Wednesday. Representing the host Quakers at the world's oldest and largest annual track & field meet, Jancewicz captured the heptathlon title with 5,035 points.
Jancewicz became the third woman in Penn history to win the Penn Relays heptathlon, joining Shani Boston (2004) and Frances Childs (1988). The Robbinsville, N.J., native is just the fourth in school history to surpass 5,000 points in the event and now stands third all-time in the Penn record book.
Jancewicz held a very slim 14-point lead after Day One with 3,090 points. She matched a career-best when she was just one of two competitors to clear 1.70 meters (5-07 ft.) for 855 points in the high jump. She was also tops in the shot put with 589 points after a toss of 10.91 meters (35-09.50 ft.). In the final event on Tuesday, she pulled ahead with the fastest 200 meters of the day at 25.47 to garner 844 more points.
On the final day of competition, Jancewicz fell behind after the long jump, but closed an 81-point gap down to 31 points with the furthest toss in the javelin -- 31.83 meters (104-05 ft.) for 511 points. Trailing heading into the final event, Jancewicz easily won the 800 meters with a time of 2:20.67. Only one other competitor was within 19 seconds of that finish and it earned her 814 points to clinch the Penn Relays title.
Freshman Tom Pitt competed in the decathlon for the first time in his young career and led after the first day of competition. However, he was injured during day two and did not compete in the 1,500 meters. Prior to his exit, he matched the eighth-best high jump in school history as the only competitor to clear the bar at 2.10 meters (6-10.75 ft.). That garnered him an impressive 896 points and added to his win in the shot put with a toss of 13.09 meters (42-11.50 ft.) for another 673 points. Pitt was also tops in the discus with a toss of 39.21 meters (128-08 ft.) worth 649 points.
The 120th edition of the Penn Relays continues Thursday night where several Quakers will be competing in the distance events. Friday and Saturday will contain most of the relays, including some Championship of America races. The first field events for Penn will be on Friday morning and continue into Saturday. For a complete schedule of the events in which the Quakers will be participating,click here.
Last year, there were 48,871 in attendance at historic Franklin Field on Saturday for a three-day total of 111,284 - eclipsing 110,000 fans for the sixth consecutive year. It was the 10th straight year and the 13th time in the last 14 years with more than 100,000 spectators at the world's oldest and largest relay carnival.
For the largest track meet in the world, the Penn Relays is home to the nation's most extensive results page. For all of your Penn Relays needs, see the link to the Penn Relays results page here. PennAthletics.com will have an update on the performance of the Quakers after each day of competition.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there is hereby created and established an Indian Claims Commission, hereafter referred to as the Commission.
The Commission shall hear and determine the following claims against the United States on behalf of any Indian tribe, band, or other identifiable group of American Indians residing within the territorial limits of the United States or Alaska: (1) claims in law or
Page 324
equity arising under the Constitution, laws, treaties of the United States, and Executive orders of the President; (2) all other claims in law or equity, including those sounding in tort, with respect to which the claimant would have been entitled to sue in a court of the United States if the United States was subject to suit; (3) claims which would result if the treaties, contracts, and agreements between the claimant and the United States were revised on the ground of fraud, duress, unconscionable consideration, mutual or unilateral mistake, whether of law or fact, or any other ground cognizable by a court of equity; (4) claims arising from the taking by the United States, whether as the result of a treaty of cession or otherwise, of lands owned or occupied by the claimant without the payment for such lands of compensation agreed to by the claimant; and (5) claims based upon fair and honorable dealings that are not recognized by any existing rule of law or equity. No claim accruing after the date of the approval of this Act shall be considered by the Commission.
All claims hereunder may be heard and determined by the Commission notwithstanding any statute of limitations or laches, but all other defenses shall be available to the United States.
In determining the quantum of relief the Commission shall make appropriate deductions for all payments made by the United States on the claim, and for all other offsets, counterclaims, and demands that would be allowable in a suit brought in the Court of Claims under section 145 of the Judicial Code (36 Stat. 1136; 28 U.S.C. sec. 250), as amended; the Commission may also inquire into and consider all money or property given to or funds expended gratuitously for the benefit of the claimant and if it finds that the nature of the claim and the entire course of dealings and accounts between the United States and the claimant in good conscience warrants such action, may set off all or part of such expenditures against any award made to the claimant, except that it is hereby declared to be the policy of Congress that monies spent for the removal of the claimant from one place to another at the request of the United States, or for agency or other administrative, educational, health or highway purposes, or for expenditures made prior to the date of the law, treaty or Executive Order under which the claim arose, or for expenditures made pursuant to the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), save expenditures made under section 5 of that Act, or for expenditures under any emergency appropriation or allotment made subsequent to March 4, 1933, and generally applicable throughout the United States for relief in stricken agricultural areas, relief from distress caused by unemployment and conditions resulting therefrom, the prosecution of public work and public projects for the relief of unemployment or to increase employment, and for work relief (including the Civil Works Program) shall not be a proper offset against any award.
(a) The Commission shall consist of a Chief Commissioner and two Associate Commissioners, who shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and each of whom shall receive a salary of $10,000 per year. At all times at least two members of the Commission shall be members of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States in good standing: Provided further, That not more than two of the members shall be of the same political party. Each of them shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and to discharge faithfully the duties of his office.
(b) The Commissioners shall hold office during their good behavior
Page 325
until the dissolution of the Commission as hereinafter provided. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointments. Members of the Commission may be removed by the President for cause after notice and opportunity to be heard.
(c) No Commissioner shall engage in any other business, vocation, or employment during his term of office nor shall he, during his term of office or for a period of two years thereafter, represent any Indian tribe, band, or group in any matter whatsoever, or have any financial interest in the outcome of any tribal claim. Any person violating the provisions of this subdivision shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
(d) Two members shall constitute a quorum, and the agreement of two members shall be necessary to any and all determinations for the transaction of the business of the Commission, and, if there be a quorum, no vacancy shall impair or affect the business of the Commission, or its determinations.
The Commission shall appoint a clerk and such other employees as shall be requisite to conduct the business of the Commission. All such employees shall take oath for the faithful discharge of their duties and shall be under the direction of the Comission in the performance thereof.
The principal office of the Commission shall be in the District of Columbia.
All necessary expenses of the Commission shall be paid on the presentation of itemized vouchers therefor approved by the Chief Commissioner or other member or officer designated by the Commission.
The time of the meetings of the Commission shall be prescribed by the Commission.
A full written record shall be kept of all hearings and proceedings of the Commission and shall be open to public inspection.
The Commission shall have power to establish its own rules of procedure.
Any claim within the provisions of this Act may be presented to the Commission by any member of an Indian tribe, band, or other identifiable group of Indians as the representative of all its members; but wherever any tribal organization exists, recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as having authority to represent such tribe, band, or group, such organization shall be accorded the exclusive privilege of representing such Indians, unless fraud, collusion, or laches on the part of such organization be shown to the satisfaction of the Commission.
Page 326
Any suit pending in the Court of Claims or the Supreme Court of the United States or which shall be filed in the Court of Claims under existing legislation, shall not be transferred to the Commission: Provided, That the provisions of section 2 of this Act, with respect to the deduction of payments, offsets, counterclaims and demands, shall supersede the provisions of the particular jurisdictional Act under which any pending or authorized suit in the Court of Claims has been or will be authorized: Provided further, That the Court of Claims in any suit pending before it at the time of the approval of this Act shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claim based upon fair and honorable dealings arising out of the subject matter of any such suit.
The Commission shall receive claims for a period of five years after the date of the approval of this Act and no claim existing before such date but not presented within such period may thereafter be submitted to any court or administrative agency for consideration, nor will such claim thereafter be entertained by the Congress.
(a) As soon as practicable the Commission shall send a written explanation of the provisions of this Act to the recognized head of each Indian tribe and band, and to any other identifiable groups of American Indians existing as distinct entities, residing within the territorial limits of the United States and Alaska, and to the superintendents of all Indian agencies, who shall promulgate the same, and shall request that a detailed statement of all claims be sent to the Commission, together with the names of aged or invalid Indians from whom depositions should be taken immediately and a summary of their proposed testimonies.
(b) The Commission shall establish an Investigation Division to investigate all claims referred to it by the Commission for the purpose of discovering the facts relating thereto. The Division shall make a complete and thorough search for all evidence affecting each claim, utilizing all documents and records in the possession of the Court of Claims and the several Government departments, and shall submit such evidence to the Commission. The Division shall make available to the Indians concerned and to any interested Federal agency any data in its possession relating to the rights and claims of any Indian.
The Commission shall have the power to call upon any of the departments of the Government for any information it may deem necessary, and shall have the use of all records, hearings, and reports made by the committees of each House of Congress, when deemed necessary in the prosecution of its business.
At any hearing held hereunder, any official letter, paper, document, map, or record in the possession of any officer or department, or court of the United States or committee of Congress (or a certified copy thereof), may be used in evidence insofar as relevant and material, including any deposition or other testimony of record in any suit or proceeding in any court of the United States to which an Indian or Indian tribe or group was a party, and the appropriate department of the Government of the United States shall give to the attorneys for all tribes or groups full and free access to such letters, papers, documents, maps, or records as may be useful to said attorneys in the preparation of any claim instituted hereunder, and shall afford facilities for the
Page 327
examination of the same and, upon written request by said attorneys, shall furnish certified copies thereof.
Each such tribe, band, or other identifiable group of Indians may retain to represent its interests in the presentation of claims before the Commission an attorney or attorneys at law, of its own selection, whose practice before the Commission shall be regulated by its adopted procedure. The fees of such attorney or attorneys for all services rendered in prosecuting the claim in question, whether before the Commission or otherwise, shall, unless the amount of such fees is stipulated in the approved contract between the attorney or attorneys and the claimant, be fixed by the Commission at such amount as the Commission, in accordance with standards obtaining for prosecuting similar contingent claims in courts of law, finds to be adequate compensation for services rendered and results obtained, considering the contingent nature of the case, plus all reasonable expenses incurred in the prosecution of the claim; but the amount so fixed by the Commission, exclusive of reimbursements for actual expenses, shall not exceed 10 per centum of the amount recovered in any case. The attorney or attorneys for any such tribe, band, or group as shall have been organized pursuant to section 16 of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 987; 25 U.S.C., sec. 476), shall be selected pursuant to the constitution and bylaws of such tribe, band, or group. The employment of attorneys for all other claimants shall be subject to the provisions of sections 2103 to 2106, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes (25 U.S.C., secs. 81, 82-84).
The Attorney General or his assistants shall represent the United States in all claims presented to the Commission, and shall have authority, with the approval of the Commission, to compromise any claim presented to the Commission. Any such compromise shall be submitted by the Commission to the Congress as a part of its report as provided in section 21 hereof in the same manner as final determinations of the Commission, and shall be subject to the provisions of section 22 hereof.
No Senator or Member of or Delegate to Congress shall, during his continuance in office, practice before the Commission.
The Commission shall give reasonable notice to the interested parties and an opportunity for them to be heard and to present evidence before making any final determination upon any claim. Hearings may be held in any part of the United States or in the Territory of Alaska.
Any member of the Commission or any employee of the Commission, designated in writing for the purpose by the Chief Commissioner, may administer oaths and examine witnesses. Any member of the Commission may require by subpena (1) the attendance and testimony of witnesses, and the production of all necessary books, papers, documents, correspondence, and other evidence, from any place in the United States or Alaska at any designated place of hearing; or (2) the taking of depositions before any designated individual competent to administer oaths under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory. In the case of a deposition, the testimony shall be reduced to writing by the individual taking the deposition or under his direction and shall be subscribed by the deponent. In taking
Page 328

Advance Directives
What is an Advance Directive?
California and federal law give every competent adult, 18 years of age or older, the right to make their own healthcare decisions, including the right to decide what medical care or treatment to accept, reject or discontinue. If you do not want to receive certain types of treatment, or if you wish to name someone to make healthcare decisions for you, you have the right to make these desires known to your doctor, hospital or other healthcare providers, and have these rights respected. You also have the right to be told about the nature of your illness in terms that you can understand, the general nature of the proposed treatments, the risks of failing to undergo these treatments and any alternative treatments or procedures that may be available to you.
However, there may be times when you cannot make your wishes known to your doctor or other healthcare providers. For example, if you were critically injured or ill, what would be your specific wishes about the medical care you want to receive?
Advance Healthcare Directives can be used to inform your healthcare team about medical care and treatment options as well as your right to select another person to make decisions for you if you are physically or mentally unable to make them.
Your nurse will ask you if you have a completed Advance Healthcare Directive. If you have questions about completing an Advanced Healthcare Directive, or would like to complete an Interim Directive, please seek help from your nurse, case manager, social worker or spiritual care personnel.Click here to download the Advance Directive Form

CHINA installed more than a third of the world's new wind turbines last year and is on course to beat the government's 2015 target of 100 gigawatts of generation capacity, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) data.
Wind energy in China now accounts for 5.3 per cent of the country's generating capacity and supplies about 2 per cent of its electricity, placing it behind coal and hydro power. While installations slowed from 2011's record levels, China's 15.9GW of new wind capacity exceeded the 15.5GW of new hydro power and dwarfed the 1.2GW of solar and 700 megawatts of nuclear capacity added last year.
"This year however, project approvals have sped up and we forecast a modest recovery in both financing activity and construction in 2013," said Demi Zhu, China wind analyst at BNEF.
China's adoption of renewable energy has surprised many. Some Australian commentators project wind and solar to contribute only 0.3 per cent of China's electricity supply by 2020. Last year, the country added 80GW of capacity - larger than Australia's total - with coal-fired power accounting for about 60 per cent of that increase, BNEF said.
New investment in wind was worth $US27.2 billion ($26.1 billion) in 2012, down 12 per cent. Turbine costs, though, fell 10 per cent as suppliers, mostly home-grown, cut prices.
Developers of wind farms in Australia have cause for cheer after a study commissioned by South Australia's Environment Protection Authority into infrasound levels near wind farms gave the industry its stamp of approval.
"The level of infrasound at houses near the wind turbines assessed is no greater than that experienced in other urban and rural environments, and … the contribution of wind turbines to the measured infrasound levels is insignificant," the report found.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
1971 film by Mel Stuart
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 musical film about a poor boy who wins the opportunity to tour the most eccentric and wonderful candy factory of all.
- Directed by Mel Stuart. Written by Roald Dahl, based on his book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Willy WonkaEdit
- [sings] A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men.
- Not original to this work, the proverb dates from at least the 18th century.
- [in the tunnel] There's no earthly way of knowing
which direction we are going.
There's no knowing where we're rowing,
or which way the river's flowing.
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
so the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?!
Yes! The danger must be growing,
for the rowers keep on rowing.
And they're certainly not showing...
any signs that they are slowing!
Oompa LoompasEdit
- [sing] Oompa loompa doompadee doo.
- I've got a perfect puzzle for you.
- Oompa loompa doompadee dee.
- If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
- What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
- Eating as much as an elephant eats.
- What are you at getting terribly fat?
- What do you think will come of that?
- I don't like the look of it!
- Oompa loompa doompadee dah.
- If you're not greedy, you will go far.
- You will live in happiness too,
- Like the oompa loompa doompadee do!
- Doompadee doo!
- Computer Operator: Gentlemen, I know how anxious you've all been during these last few days. But now I think I can safely say that your time and money have been well-spent. We're about to witness the greatest miracle of the machine age. Based on the revolutionary Computonian Law of Probability, this machine will tell us the precise location of the 3 remaining golden tickets. [pushes buttons on the machine; the machine prints out a response] It says: "I won't tell. That would be cheating." [pushes the buttons on the machine again] I am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, I will gladly share with it the grand prize. [the machine prints out another response] He says: "What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?" [sighs, then pushes the buttons once again] I am now telling the computer exactly what he can do with the lifetime supply of chocolate.
- Sam: I'll get even with you for this, Wonka, if it's the last thing I ever do!! [to himself; voice breaks] I got a blueberry for a daughter.
- Violet: [about the Oompa-Loompas] Well, they can't be real people.
- Wonka: Well, of course they're real people.
- Mr. Salt: Stuff and nonsense!
- Wonka: No. Oompa Loompas.
- Group: [turn around] Oompa Loompas?
- Wonka: From Loompaland.
- Mrs. Teevee: Loompaland? There's no such place.
- Wonka: Excuse me, dear lady...
- Mrs. Teevee: Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography.
- Wonka: Oh, well, then you know all about it and what a terrible country it is. Nothing but desolate wastes and fierce beasts. And the poor little Oompa Loompas were so small and helpless, they would get gobbled up right and left. A Wangdoodle would eat ten of them for breakfast and think nothing of it. And so, I said, "Come and live with me in peace and safety, away from all the Wangdoodles, and Hornswogglers, and Snozzwangers, and rotten, Vermicious Knids."
- Mr. Salt: Snozzwangers? Vermicious Knids? What kind of rubbish is that?
- Wonka: I'm sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing. [continues] And so, in the greatest of secrecy, I transported the entire population of Oompa Loompas to my factory here.
- Veruca: Hey, Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa. I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away.
- Mr. Salt: All right, Veruca. All right. I'll get you one before the day is out.
- Veruca: I want an Oompa Loompa now!
- Violet: Can it, you nit!
- Grandpa Joe: Mr. Wonka?
- Wonka: I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
- Grandpa Joe: I just wanted to ask about the chocolate, the lifetime supply of chocolate, for Charlie. When does he get it?
- Wonka: He doesn't.
- Grandpa Joe: Why not?
- Wonka: Because he broke the rules.
- Grandpa Joe: What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?
- Wonka: [angrily] Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You stole Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get... NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR! [returns to work]
- Grandpa Joe: [shocked] You're a crook... [furiously] You're a cheat and a swindler...! That's what you are! How can you do a thing like this?! Build up a little boy's hopes, and then smash all his dreams to pieces?! [lividly] You're an inhuman monster...!
- Wonka: I said "GOOD DAY"!! [goes on about his work]
- Grandpa Joe: Come on, Charlie. Let's get out of here. [sets to leave] I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do. If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper, he'll get one.
- [he and Charlie are about to leave, when Charlie slowly walks up to Wonka]
- Charlie: Mr. Wonka?
- [he places the Everlasting Gobstopper on Wonka's desk and sets off as Wonka stops writing]
- Wonka: [puts his hand on the Gobstopper] "So shines a good deed in a weary world." [looks up] Charlie? My boy. You've won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, Charlie, forgive me for putting you through this. Please, forgive me. Come in, Mr. Wilkinson! [The man originally known as Slugworth walks in.] Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson!
- Wilkinson: Pleasure!
- Charlie: Slugworth!
- Wonka: No, no! That's not Slugworth, He works for me!
- Charlie: For you?
- Wonka: I had to test you, Charlie. And you passed the test! You won!
- Grandpa Joe: Won what?!
- Wonka: The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!
- Charlie: The chocolate?
- Wonka: The chocolate, yes! The chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We hafta get on! We hafta get on! We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please!
- [last lines]
- Wonka: But, Charlie, don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.
- Charlie: What happened?
- Wonka: He lived happily ever after.
- It's everybody's non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun!
- It's Scrumdiddlyumptious!
- Your golden ticket to imagination and adventure!
- Charlie is let loose in the chocolate factory and every kid's dream comes true.
- Enter a world of pure imagination.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's and women's fencing teams hosted Princeton and Ohio State in The Coach Dave Micahnik Fencing Center on Saturday to open the season. Competing in both team and individual competition, the men and women fared well against traditionally tough opponents.
Penn put some fresh faces into the lineup, thrown right into it against opponents which included defending Ivy champion Princeton on the women's side and an Ohio State sqaud which annually finishes top-five at NCAAs.
The Quakers split with the men from Princeton and OSU, falling to Princeton, 15-12, and defeating OSU, 15-12. The women were unable to find a win in their opening duals as they fell to Princeton, 19-8, and Ohio State, 16-11.
The Red and Blue have plenty of time to prepare for their next dual, which doesn't take place until the New Year when the teams travel to State College for the Penn State Invitational on January 12.

ROMULUS, Mich. - Suspended Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee has arrived home from a police chief conference in San Diego amid an alleged sex scandal.
His first steps into McNamara terminal at Detroit Metro Airport were inundated with media to talk to him about the recent scandal that broke while he was out of town. However, he gave little to no response to many questions except, "I have no comment."
Internal Affairs Officer Angelica Robinson, who is married, started tweeting the chief on Saturday claiming he was there with another woman, who is not his wife and not a police officer. Robinson also claimed she and Godbee had been having an affair for more than a year.
After some investigating, Local 4 did learn that Godbee and another woman identified as Merica Patterson were both staying in the same room in San Diego.
Godbee and his wife of 22 years filed divorce papers in early August and appear to have split up back in April.
Mayor Dave Bing has suspended Godbee for 30 days as the matter is investigated.

Because, I guess, he was taking up too much ice time from the productive Erik Christensen and Todd White.
Seriously, it's probably best that he goes down and plays a lot of pro minutes instead of rotting on a vine with Boogaard.
Here's the announcement:
New York, November 8, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that forward Evgeny Grachev has been assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Grachev, 20, skated in six consecutive games following his recall on October 28. He was credited with four hits while making his NHL debut on October 29 vs. Carolina, and logged a season-high, 10:13 of ice time in Friday's 3-0 win at New Jersey.
Last season, the 6-4, 224-pounder led all Hartford rookies in assists (16), points (28) and power play goals (four), and tied for first on the Wolf Pack in goals (12). Grachev also tied for sixth on the team in goals, eighth in points and ninth in assists. He registered five multi-point efforts, including three multi-goal performances, and recorded a season-high, four-game scoring streak from October 9 at Providence to October 16 at Portland (one goal and three assists). Grachev notched his first professional point with a power play goal on October 9 at Providence, and made his professional debut on October 3 at Binghamton.
The Khabarovsk, Russia native was originally the Rangers' third round choice, 75th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
The Rangers will continue their longest homestand of the season, tomorrow, November 9, when they face-off against the Washington Capitals at Madison Square Garden (7:30 p.m.). The contest is the second game of the four-game homestand for the Blueshirts, who will host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, November 11, before closing out the homestand against the Edmonton Oilers in a matinee match-up on Sunday, November 14.

Morecambe 1, Wycombe Wanderers 1.
A LATE equaliser from Kevin Ellison denied Wanderers a win that had looked likely thanks to Paris Cowan-Hall's fifth headed goal of the season.
The veteran winger celebrated signing a new contract earlier in the week by grabbing his side a share of the spoils with a header.
It was rough justice on a Wanderers side who were good value for a lead given to them by Cowan-Hall in a first half dominated by the visitors.
A hard working midfield quartet didn't allow the hosts to have a sniff of the ball, and while Wanderers didn't create a succession of chances any good play came from them.
They were comfortably in control and Morecambe didn't look threatening despite stepping things up after the break, and the goal when it came still had a feeling of coming out of the blue – leaving Wanderers to collectively kick themselves for not killing the game off.
Even after Ellison's goal Wycombe had chances to win as they had two efforts cleared off the line, but while this was a vast improvement from last week the search for a win goes on.
A heavy pitch that survived an inspection made good football difficult but it was from a fine pass from Matt Bloomfield that Wanderers fashioned the game's opening chance, as home skipper Mark Hughes threw himself at Matt McClure's shot.
Bloomfield and McClure were two of the four players brought into the side after last week's humbling by AFC Wimbledon, with striker Steven Craig and defender Gary Doherty also being handed recalls.
The Shrimps were forced into an early change as Tony Diagne replaced the injured Robbie Threlfall at the back and while they were adjusting to the alteration nobody picked out Josh Scowen from Nick Arnold's free kick, with Cowan-Hall's snapshot from his team mate's cross drifting over the crossbar.
A hard working midfield stifled Morecambe and any chances were going the way of the visitors. Scowen's pass found Cowan-Hall, who turned his way into the area before having his left footed shot deflected agonisingly wide of the post.
Morecambe made a meal of trying to clear the resulting corner and the ball once more fell to Cowan-Hall on the edge of the area, but this time the winger's shot was always destined to fly wide of the upright.
Opportunities for the home side were extremely rare, with Diagne curling a free kick over from the edge of the area and Alex Kenyon powering a header wide from a long throw into the box.
And it was Wanderers who took the lead five minutes before the interval as Cowan-Hall lost his marker at an Arnold corner and was given all the time in the world to glance a header home at the near post for his fifth goal of the campaign.
Pressure from the Blues continued after the break as Stuart Lewis's piledriver crashed into Hughes, with McClure being just unable to dig the ball out from under his feet from the rebound.
Another shot from the Chairboys skipper was gathered in low down by Barry Roche after taking a deflection. The Shrimps keeper then nervously claimed a curling effort by Craig, after the Scotsman had been played in by McClure when an attempted clearance from Morecambe struck referee Trevor Kettle on the back and ran kindly for the Blues marksman.
Morecambe did at least show greater urgency in the second half but they were very heavily reliant on the direct ball, which was bread and butter for Doherty and Leon Johnson at the back. The pair won every header on the few occasions the home side were able to get the ball beyond the indefatigable Wanderers midfield.
Still Matt Ingram went untested in the visiting goal, although the Wanderers keeper was relieved to see Diagne scuff a shot off target after the Blues defence failed to clear their lines for what seemed the only time all afternoon.
But the hosts did manage to haul themselves level as substitute Joe Mwasile escaped down the right before feeding Andy Fleming, whose cross to the near post was firmly headed home into the top corner by Ellison.
That equaliser seemed to be the extent of Morecambe's ambition, as Ellison was replaced minutes later by veteran midfielder Stewart Drummond. With him off the pitch Wanderers went back on the attack and a Scowen header was hacked to safety off the line by Hughes.
And the home skipper was in the right place in stoppage time, once more clearing off the line as substitute Jo Kuffour's inswinging shot beat Roche but not Hughes.
Wanderers: Ingram, Arnold, Johnson, Doherty, Wood, Cowan-Hall, Scowen, Lewis, Bloomfield, McClure, Craig (sub Kuffour). Substitutes not used: Horlock, McCoy, Hause, Morias, Kretzschmar, Knott.
