CAFTA's Effect on Generic Drugs in Guatemala (New Paper by Ellen Shaffer and Joe Brenner)
Mike Palmedo
August 26, 2009
Today I went to the University of California's building in DC to see Ellen Shaffer and Joe Brenner present their new paper "A Trade Agreement's Impact on Access to Generic Drugs." The paper looks at Guatemala's experience with the TRIPS-Plus intellectual property rules required by the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).
Shaffer and Brenner focus on the effect of CAFTA's data exclusivity provisions (which prevent generic firms from gaining regulatory approval based on the clinical data provided by brand name firms for a fixed period of time, usually five years). They examined drugs for the most common and important health conditions in Guatemala. They found that data exclusivity blocked many generic products from winning regulatory approval. In some cases, generic firms had existing products pulled off the market when data exclusivity was applied. Prices on these products rise - often by very large percentages - when data exclusivity blocks generic competition.
The paper brings much needed empirical evidence to an ongoing debate. Many civil society groups, academics, and Members of Congress have argued that TRIPS-Plus intellectual property provisions will block generic competition and raise prices. However, since the agreements are relatively recent and take time to be ratified and take effect, this is only the second empirical study of its kind. (Oxfam previously did a similar study on Jordan after its bilateral FTA with the US.)
Shaffer and Brenner's paper in the Journal of Health Affairs is online here:

PHILADELPHIA – For the second match in a row, an ejection to a Penn player caused the Quakers to attempt a comeback down a man and the Quakers were not able to mount a rally in a 2-0 loss to Florida International on Sunday.
Midfielder Alex Murphy was sent off via a straight red card in the 60', putting Penn in a 10v11 situation for the second consecutive contest. At the time of the ejection, the Quakers were trailing, 1-0, and hunting the tying goal. Shortly after, the Quakers put together their best chances of the match, but were not able to solve FIU keeper Lawrence Craggs.
Less than a minute after Murphy was booked, Sam Hayward created space down the left flank and stepped to the middle, uncorking a high riser which had just too much air under it and sailed over the crossbar. Nine minutes later, Matt Poplawski was just wide on a header in the penalty area, unable to square the match. In the 71', Alec Neumann picked off a clearing pass from Craggs and broke in alone. He last touch before shooting was a tad too much and the ball slipped away into the arms of a sliding Craggs before Neumann could fire.
Penn's best chance came in the 75' as Louis Schott worked space just outside the 18 and turned into a shot which was targeted for the upper right corner. However, Craggs leaped into the shot and just got a glove on it to direct the ball wide rather than level the match.
The Red and Blue continued to press, looking to find the tying goal despite the unsavory circumstances of the personnel situation. The aggressiveness was turned against them, though, when FIU added an insurance marker in the 79' off a Quentin Albrecht goal. The finish was easy for Albrecht, as he was the beneficiary of solid connections from Marvin Hezel to Ismael Longo who lobbed a pass over Penn's back line to send Albrecht in alone.
That goal made a FIU goal in the middle portion of the first half stand up. After the Panthers denied Neumann on Penn's first chance of the match in the 4', FIU carried the offensive chances with the match's next four shots. The fourth offering found the back of the goal from Luis' Betancur's foot. He brought down a cross from Gonzalo Frechilla at the 18, and quickly shot it by Tyler Kinn before he could react.
Kinn was busy throughout the match, setting a new career high with seven saves – including six in the second half as the Quakers faced a manpower disadvantage. For the match, Penn was outshot, 19-7, by FIU.
The Quakers will return to Rhodes Field again on Oct. 2 for the University City Derby against Drexel at 7 p.m.

Topic: My husband has passed
On March 30, my husband Chris passed away. He was so ill the preceding week, I was actually relieved for him. I miss him terribly, but constantly remind myself that he is finally at peace. That helps me cope with my grief. I will donate all the money I received to this foundation with the hope that it will help in the search for more effective treatments for this awful disease.

Careful Selection is Key to Successful Choice Of Home Improvement Contractor
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
April 4, 2003
Careful Selection is Key to Successful
Of Home Improvement Contractor
As housing costs increase, more and more homeowners are investing in improving their current home rather than moving elsewhere. But this is often - sadly - a case of buyer beware.
Bad experiences with home improvement contractors head the list of most frequent consumer complaints to Fairfax County's Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection. The homeowner's best protection is careful selection of a contractor, including obtaining a complaint history from the department.
Home improvements as defined in the Fairfax County Code cover such construction or property alteration as:
New roof
Installation of aluminum or vinyl siding over existing siding
Laying a concrete or asphalt driveway
Constructing an in-ground swimming pool
Remodeling a kitchen
- Building a deck
Constructing retaining walls greater than 24 inches in height
Additions to existing structures or new accessory structures
- Sealing an asphalt driveway
Not covered are chimney cleaning, exterior or interior painting, fencing a yard, wallpapering or building a brick patio.
Important tips for selecting a contractor:
- Ask for a copy of the contractor's current licenses and insurance certificates. Home improvement contractors and their sales staff must be licensed by the Licensing Section of the Office of Building Code Services, 703-324-1540, TTY 711 (Virginia Relay). They must meet requirements of the Virginia State Board for Contractors and are often required to have a Fairfax County Business, Professional and Occupational License issued by the Department of Tax Administration.
- Check the contractor's compliance record with the Fairfax County Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection at 703-222-8435, TTY 703-222-8653; or visit the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov. If the work was in other jurisdictions, call their consumer offices. Contact the local Better Business Bureau for a further check of the contractor's past performance.
- Ask for customer references, particularly from those who have had projects similar to yours. If possible, inspect the work performed by the contractor.
- Make sure the contractor has insurance to cover damage to your home or injury to employees working on your property. Obtain the name of the insurance carrier and the agent and contact them to verify that the appropriate policies are in effect.
- Get written estimates from several firms. Be sure to specify the work you want done and the materials to be used, so that the estimates will be easy to compare.
- Insist on a written contract, as required by the Fairfax County Home Improvement Code and state regulations, and make sure that it includes all agreements regarding the work to be done and materials to be used. Also, be sure the contract specifies that you will be furnished with a signed mechanic's lien waiver or release from suppliers of materials or subcontractors. In the event that a contractor does not pay a subcontractor or supplier, state law provides that those working on the improvement project may obtain a lien against the property. Without a lien waiver, if your contractor fails to pay a subcontractor or supplier, you could be liable for the debt.
For further information or if you have a complaint regarding a home
improvement contractor, contact the Fairfax County Department of Cable
Communications and Consumer Protection at 703-222-8435, TTY 703-222-8653,
or visit the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov. To determine if a contractor
is appropriately licensed, call 703-324-1540, TTY 711.

Pair of Six-Panel Screens: Scenes from the Tale of Genji
Kanō Tsunenobu, Japanese, 1636–1713
Color and gold on paper, each 170 x 379 cm
Location: Second Chinese Room
Accession Number: P29w1.1-2
Currently on view in the 3rd Floor Passage
Nestled amid the golden clouds in this vibrant pair of screens are depictions of twelve chapters from the Tale of Genji, one of the world's earliest novels. Written around the year 1000 by Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting at the court in Kyoto, the story vividly portrays courtly customs through an intricate web of human relations. The protagonist Genji epitomizes the ideal male persona of the time: strikingly attractive and a master of all the arts, he was also a great lover. Indeed much of the long novel revolves around his liaisons with women of the court.
The earliest illustrations of the Tale of Genji are handscrolls of the early twelfth century. These paintings not only set the stylistic standards of the yamato-e (pictures of yamato, or Japan), but also influenced later renditions of the novel. This influence is apparent here in the bird's-eye-view perspective and thick layering of pigment. The diagonal lines that run through the architectural elements heighten the emotional intensity of the scenes.
Although convention dictated that characters from the Tale of Genji should be shown devoid of emotion or individualization, the screens contain many interesting details. The musicians display an unusual range of facial expressions: some converse with one another, while one puffs out his cheeks to play a wind instrument. Such expressive displays can be seen in other Genji illustrations by the seventeenth century, but they are usually reserved for commoners and not the nobility who were considered composed at all times.
Also remarkable are the monochromatic ink landscapes drawn on the sliding doors and screens in the palace interiors depicted in the screens. These meticulously painted landscapes, dragons, birds, and flowers contrast sharply with the colorful screens themselves. This disparity might be intended to stress that the screens were a product of the Kanō school, whose painting styles and techniques were derived from Chinese ink painting (the kara-e pictures of Tang China) as opposed to yamato-e.

'Teen Mom' Leah's Husband Corey Cheated With This
Last Friday, 19-year-old Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer filed for divorce from her husband Corey Simms after only being married for six months. According to Us Weekly, he was cheating on her and now suddenly his other woman, Jordan Humble (above), is already posing for exclusive paparazzi photos which makes a lot of sense once you consider everyone here is from West Virginia and where Corey met Jordan:
Just weeks before their Oct. 17 wedding, Simms was spotted flirting with several young women at a local Dairy Queen, according to one witness.
Wow, Dairy Queen. That's some high school bullshit. It's almost as if everyone involved is just a bunch of kids who have absolutely no business getting married in the first place, not to mention being encouraged to keep a baby. But that can't be right. Outdated, conservative family values always work out awesome. ALWAYS! *shakes fist*

STOURBRIDGE'S Nick Cruchley insists he has fallen back in love with pole vaulting again and is eager to prove it at this week's BUCS Gatorade Nationals.
Cruchley is rejuvenated after he re-found his love for athletics following his decision to take a prolonged break from competition midway through 2012.
The 24-year-old won gold at the BUCS Gatorade Nationals last year but opted not to do any training for the outdoor season and has only recently made his comeback.
And despite only a handful of competitions under his belt so far this year Cruchley is keen to shake off any rust and claim victory when the competition gets underway in Sheffield on Friday. "I've started coming back to competition now so it's going to be all guns blazing for BUCS," claimed the former King Edwards pupil.
"I decided to take some time out but I was still training and I thought that I might as well give it another go.
"I found a bit of love for it again and I don't regret coming back at all.
"Training has been going well but obviously I have had a big gap from last year so it's a case of trying to get back into the swing of things".
While some athletes are looking at BUCS as ideal preparation for the Commonwealth Games, Cruchley said that his eyes are firmly fixed on getting a gold medal in Sheffield.
But even he can't help but let his mind wander to Glasgow this summer as he looks to announce himself back on the big stage in style.
"My main goal is to get Commonwealth selection so I need to hit as many of the qualifying standards as I can," he said.
"The qualifying standard is 5.60 and that's a big jump but hopefully I can hit that height."
Gatorade is the nutrition and hydration partner to British Universities & Colleges Sports and sponsor of the BUCS Gatorade Nationals.

Spring Pea Saladby Amie Valpone in Healthy Recipes, March 21, 2013
I love peas; I enjoy them whole and juiced but my favorite way to munch on them is in this spring salad. There is so much green in this dish: mixed greens, avocados and peas. No dressing from a bottle here! Sherry vinegar and freshly squeezed orange juice make this salad flavorful without the added calories and fat of traditional store-bought dressings. I also like to throw in some flax oil for an added dose of healthy fats. Serve this salad for lunch or as a side at dinner.
Spring Pea Salad
Serves 4
1 1/2 lbs. fresh peas in the pod, shelled (approximately 2 cups) or 2 cups frozen peas
8 cups fresh mixed salad greens
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoond Barlean's Flax Oil
2 teaspoons red wine or sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 4-5 minutes or until bright green and tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the peas with remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine; serve.

Kiski Area boys soccer eyes section title, playoff run
The Kiski Area boys soccer team, returning most of its starters from last season's section-winning squad, entered the season as the favorite to capture the Section 1-AAA title. With one game left,it remains in position to do that — but so does Franklin Regional.
The Cavaliers (12-2-2, 9-1-1) travel Monday night to face the Panthers (11-2-2, 9-1-1) in a match that will determine the section champion.
"We want to win this game. We want to establish ourselves again, for the third straight year, as section champion," Kiski Area coach Bob Wright said.
On Sept. 18, the teams battled to a 1-1 tie at Kiski Area. Sophomore forward Dakota Lange, the Cavaliers' leading scorer, netted the only goal for Kiski Area in the draw. Should another tie occur in the rubber match, Franklin Regional and Kiski Area will split the section title.
"Franklin impressed by being able to finish a good chance they had and defending very well," Wright said. "They are smart and disciplined at the back."
Despite being pleased with how the Cavaliers have played, the one thing that gives Wright cause for concern entering the playoffs is the team's trouble finishing chances.
"Our potential is still so great to do so much, but we manage to really have difficulty with some little things sometimes," Wright said. "Primarily, that's in the area of finishing."
Along with leading scorer Lange and junior attacking midfielder Matt Dziadosz, who has eight goals and a team-high nine assists, Wright said a number of players have chipped in offensively as part of a fluid attack. With all of the chances the team has fashioned, Wright believes that the team's average of 2 1⁄2 goals per game could be even higher.
Heading into a finale against a Franklin Regional team that has surrendered 0.9 goals per game in section play, the Cavaliers may have to make the most of only a few chances. Wright thinks they can.
"We're going out to win. We're confident, and we think we can," Wright said. "If we can just continue to get smarter and smarter on finishing and finding more and more goals to score, it will serve us really well in the playoffs."
Other local story lines:
• After ending a 14-year playoff drought in 2011, the Highlands girls soccer team not only repeated the feat but also improved on it. Led by first-year coach Mark Duffield, the Rams are 13-3, 11-2 in Section 2-AA, significant improvements over records of 8-10, 7-7 last season.
Buoyed by the efforts of prolific senior forward Natalie Richards and emerging sophomore goalkeeper Sam Kovach, the Rams look to improve on their marks.
"If they believe in themselves as much as I and (assistant coach) Dave (Henderson) do, they can definitely make a good run," Duffield said. "It's very rare that you meet a team that has talent and a big heart as well. They have both."
• Despite rattling off 11 straight wins to open the season, the Fox Chapel girls soccer team (15-2, 10-2) came up short of the Section 3-AAA title after a pair of losses to champion Gateway. Still, after averaging 4.4 goals for and 0.5 goals against, the Foxes are one of only a few teams that boast a solid combination of offense and defense.
• Section 3-AA playoff qualifiers Plum (8-4-3, 6-3-3) and Fox Chapel (11-3-1, 9-2-1) could make noise in the boys playoffs. The Mustangs managed an eye-opening win over section champion Central Catholic earlier in the season, while the defensively imposing Foxes have pitched shutouts in 10 of their 11 wins.

Brad Pitt + Angelina Jolie Hop on the Celebrity Wine-Making Bandwagon
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be releasing their own wine under the name of their French estate, Miraval, on March 15. Would you drink it?
-Lucia Peters
Fergie isn't the only star to have recently hopped on the celebrity wine-maker bandwagon—Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have, too!
It's no secret that the couple owns a 1,000-acre estate with vineyards in southwestern France; called Chateau Miraval, it's been theirs since 2008. And on March 15, Brad and Angie will be releasing wine in the US under the estate's name. According to People, their first wine will be a 2012 vintage pink rosé; and just so we're clear on who bottled it, each bottle will bear the label "Bottled by Jolie-Pitt and Perrin."
Who's Perrin? That would be French winegrower Marc Perrin. Perrin, who is well-respected in winemaking circles, was introduced to Brad and Angie by mutual friends; they hit it off, and the trio spent last summer discussing how to go about putting forth their new venture.
Read Take a Look at Erin Fetherston's Gorgeous Engagement Ring (Pics!)
Miraval's 160-acre valley has ideal grape-growing conditions. Noted Perrin to the Hollywood Reporter, "The terroir, the freshness that comes from the altitude, and the exposition of the vines are all incredible. For us as winemakers, it's a wonderful opportunity to work with grapes that we know well, in an environment where striving for quality is the most important thing."
Later on down the line, we can expect a line of organic reds and whites; but until then, tell us: Would you drink Miraval's rosé?

Land O'Lakes Purina Feed, LLC has rolled out a new industry initiative – the "Feeding for 30 Program"--as part of its ongoing commitment to animal nutrition.
The program builds on the industry goal of 30 pigs per sow per year (PSY) and aims to promote proper sow management and nutrition practices to boost performance starting in the gestation and farrowing barns and continuing through all growing phases.
Through the Feeding for 30 Program, Land O'Lakes Purina Feed and other industry experts are offering collaborative insights and management information to pork producers striving to achieve the 30 PSY goal. Researchers behind the program explain that meeting that benchmark has economic and herd health benefits. Sow nutrition is highlighted as a priority to meet the goal and boost sow longevity within herds.
"As input prices continue to rise and global pork demand amplifies, increased efficiency is fundamental in the U.S. swine market," says Elena Lindemann, lactating livestock marketing director with Land O'Lakes Purina Feed. "In addition to improving a producer's bottom line potential, properly feeding sows can promote their health and well-being – allowing better potential of achieving 30 healthy piglets weaned each year. We hope this initiative will provide useful insights and tips producers can use to support rebreeding rates, colostrum quality, birth weights and lactation performance for optimal pre-weaning pig growth and lifetime potential."
Pork producers, veterinarians and nutritionists can learn more about the Feeding for 30 Program and access nutritional resources here. Management tips also are available by texting "FF30" to 31256.
"Innovation is our focus and we strive to bring new industry-leading programs, products, and expertise to market," notes Lindemann. "It is our goal to provide resources on proper sow nutrition and management, giving sow producers useful information to deliver nutrition needed for achieving 30 pigs per sow per year and optimal profitability for their unique operation."
The Feeding for 30 Program will be highlighted at the 2012 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa. Land O'Lakes Purina Feed experts will be available to discuss details and individual herd goals at the company's booth #364 in the Varied Industries Building on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Details of the proram also will be featured at the Land O'Lakes Purina Feed's sow nutrition forum on Wednesday, June 6, at 3:00 p.m. in the Varied Industry Building, Meeting Room B.

The Wall Street Journal: Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.) had a simple question Wednesday for three of the Obama administration's top Afghanistan specialists: How many American troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year?
None of the witnesses at the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Afghanistan had an answer.
How much is the U.S. spending in Afghanistan? Mr. Rohrabacher asked.
No one could say.
"We're supposed to believe that you fellas have a plan that's going to end up in a positive way in Afghanistan?" Mr. Rohrabacher asked. "Holy cow!"
Mr. Rohrabacher's incredulous questioning came during a two-hour hearing on U.S. policy in Afghanistan that revealed increasing congressional frustration with U.S. policy as the administration tries to rescue its plan to keep thousands of troops in Afghanistan through the end of this decade, if not beyond.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D., Va.) called the witnesses' inability to rattle off the facts "a stunning development."
"How can you come to a congressional oversight hearing on this subject and not know" the answers? He asked. "Like that wouldn't be a question the tip of one's tongue."
Ambassador James Dobbins, the administration's top envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, eventually provided some facts: The State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development spent about $2 billion a year and there have been about 2,200 "casualties" since 2001.
In fact, there have been 2,292 American fatalities since 2001. So far this year, 113 Americans have been killed, the lowest number of U.S. fatalities since 2004, according to iCasualties, the website that tracks U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan.
Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R., Calif.) later noted that the U.S. spends about $6.7 billion a month on the war in Afghanistan.
The idea that U.S. officials didn't have basic facts about the war in Afghanistan on the tips of their tongues seemed apt for a conflict that has fallen off the radar in Washington, where battles over the budget, President Barack Obama's health care program and talks with Iran have eclipsed interest in America's longest war as it winds to a close.
Mr. Dobbins came to Congress this week to reassure lawmakers that stalled talks over a long-term security deal with Afghan President Hamid Karzai were not destined for failure. He had testified Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Mr. Dobbins expressed confidence that the deal would eventually be signed.
But Democrats and Republicans both expressed frustration with Mr. Karzai, who surprised American and Afghan officials last month by refusing to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement that both countries spent the last year negotiating.
"The patience of the Congress and the American people is wearing thin," said Rep.Ted Deutch (D., Fla.), the committee's top Democrat.
Mr. Dobbins was joined at the hearing by Michael Dumont, the Defense Department's deputy assistant secretary for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia, and Donald "Larry" Sampler, the assistant to the administrator in USAID's Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs.
All three sought to assuage lawmakers concerns about Mr. Karzai and U.S. policy.
Mr. Rohrabacher delivered the hearing's most caustic criticism.
"I think we are groveling again," he said. "Maybe this is the grovel administration… This is insanity and it's time for us to get our butts out of that country, not for their sake, but for our sake."

Did you know?
The Comrades Marathon is South Africa's oldest ultra-marathon, having first taken place on 24 May 1921.
South Africa's ultra-marathons generally take the form of cycling or running events, massively supported by locals and foreigners alike. They make their favourite race an annual highlight and a celebration of the outdoor sporting life.
Ultra-marathons in South Africa take place in an astounding array of natural backgrounds – the country has the space to allow you to indulge your long-distance dreams.
Who hasn't heard about the Comrades Marathon, that institution among South Africa's ultra-marathons? Go into the history of this grand old race between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, and you will be astounded at the depth of anecdotes going back more than 80 years.
Cape Town hosts ultra-marathons on both bike and foot, and it's always a festival to go south and compete in the Two Oceans Marathon, the Cape Argus Cycle Tour or, indeed, the gruelling Cape Epic.
The Cape Peninsula has her best foot forward for the athletes on the day - albeit a tad windy at times. But no matter, the heart is pounding, the rhythms are set, the body machine is working and the crowds are cheering – it's all good.
Widely televised, watched on the course by hundreds of thousands of fans, family and supporters, the competitors in these events make up the huge family spirit that exists between an athlete, the stunning settings and the relevant sport.
All along the way you will meet a great variety of people with one thing in common – that wide smile of welcome on their faces.

In localization, we are often wondering how developers, in real life, use the Platform tools to build and deploy multilingual applications. We wonder if developers have a good enough command of English to use Flash Builder or Flash Pro in English? Or do they prefer to use localized versions? Do they prefer to have tutorials in their language or the product itself? What is important for them to get their work done? What about internationalization features? Is there anything preventing them from creating apps and content in languages other than English? What can we improve?
To that end, the Flex team is announcing a survey on their blog. Or if you prefer, go directly to the short survey itself. Thanks for your feedback!

It is estimated that by mid-June, cleanup in three states will be complete.
Active cleanup from the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will conclude by mid-June Cleanup in three states, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi, has been ongoing for three years.
In the course of the last three years since the spill, BP has been working under the direction of the Coast Guard and has invested more than $14 billion into cleanup efforts.
"The transition is a significant milestone toward fulfilling our commitment to clean the Gulf shoreline and ensuring that the region's residents and visitors can fully enjoy this majestic environment," said Laura Folse, BP's Executive Vice President for Response and Environmental Restoration, in a statement. "Even as the Coast Guard has made the decision to move these states to the National Response Center reporting system, should residual Macondo oil appear on the shoreline, BP remains committed and prepared to address it under the direction of the Coast Guard."
In 2010, at the peak of cleaning efforts, 48,000 people were involved. About 1,100 miles of shoreline experience some level of oil contamination and 778 miles of shoreline required cleaning.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/12/2012 (1713 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Way back in 1937, war-devastated British author J.R.R. Tolkien penned a children's novel with a simple opening line: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
The intended audience was Tolkien's children, who loved the simple book about a diminutive little dude who turns out to be a hero.
The Hobbit marked the start of a profound publishing career for Tolkien, who became the planet's pre-eminent fantasy author, as well as one of the most influential writers of any stripe. This was remarkable, given the stolid, clunky nature of his prose as well as his tendency to see the world in black and white.
Tolkien never would have imagined Hobbit meals on the menu at Denny's, a hobbit tourism craze in New Zealand or geeks wearing fake foot fur on the way into movie screenings of a $250-million version of the first third of the simple story.
When The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens today, it may very well be the biggest box-office success since The Avengers made a different sort of geek happy last summer.
The only limiting factors are a handful of questions about the production, which has been nine years in the making for producer Peter Jackson:
1. Can a tiny children's novel sustain three full-length fantasy movies?
At 310 pages, The Hobbit is a piddly book by Tolkien standards. The Lord of the Rings, which inspired a trio of three-hour movies (for a total of 12 hours of film, if you watched the extended editions), clocked in at a mammoth 1,216 pages. The grand mythology of LOTR, which is one long metaphor for the triumph of good and decency over darkness, translated well on the big screen.
The Hobbit, published 17 years earlier, is much more playful and child-friendly -- not to mention a great deal simpler, as Tolkien had yet to finalize the massive Middle-earth back-story contained in the dense and barely readable Silmarillion.
According to various reports over the years, Jackson initially thought about making two Hobbit movies. In one incarnation, the narrative from the book would be told in two parts. In another Jackson would attempt to fill in the blanks between the events of The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, the first segment of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Notes from the back of The Return of the King would help provide the detail, but essentially Jackson would be interpreting J.R.R. Tolkien's intentions almost four decades after the British novelist died.
After the departure of original director Guillermo del Toro, two movies became three. The first chunk, An Unexpected Journey, chronicles how the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen, returning from the LOTR movies) tricks the naive hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman, as a younger version of the same character played by Ian Holm in LOTR) into joining 13 dwarves on a mission to reclaim a treasure from a dragon, Smaug. This hits theatres today.
The second film, The Desolation of Smaug, will deal with most of the rest of the book when it comes to theatres next December. Film No. 3, There And Back Again, will attempt to pull off the tricky feat in 2014 of joining the two Tolkien works, most likely with ideas extrapolated from Tolkien's notes concerning the wandering of Gollum (Andy Serkis again, doing the CGI-capture thing) into Mordor and the rise of the ultimate baddie, Sauron.
On paper, this may sound horrifically dull to anyone but a Tolkien geek -- and even then, they may not be happy.
2. Will Tolkien purists accept Jackson's liberties with the text?
Generally speaking, geeks will accept anything the big Kiwi does on screen, as Jackson proved himself with LOTR a decade ago. But there is some concern about characters that don't exist in any print edition of The Hobbit, yet manage to show up on screen.
For starters, Elijah Wood will return as Frodo Baggins, who wasn't alive during the events of The Hobbit. Presumably, Frodo will learn about the story from an Ian Holm version of Bilbo, his uncle, in the most-dreaded of all Hollywood movie devices, the flashback.
Cate Blanchett's elf queen Galadriel will be back, as will Orlando Bloom as wood-elf archer Legolas. Neither appear in the book, so you can bet your neighbourhood version of The Simpsons' Comic Book Guy will be grumbling for the next 2 1/2 years about this.
3. Will non-geeks pony up big bucks to watch what is essentially a children's story?
That's a better question. While the LOTR film series made $2.9 billion, it's been nine years since The Return of the King opened in theatres. There's no guarantee all the geeks and non-geeks will be back for another journey through Middle-earth.
As well, the lighter tone of The Hobbit could turn off some adult movie-goers -- or at least scare some away from the multiplex. Sitting in a dark theatre for three hours to watch orcs get butchered with swords is one thing. Sitting on your posterior for the same amount of time to watch dwarves engage in physical humour is another.
4. About those dwarves -- can a short guy with a long beard be an effective heroic lead?
While Movember may have redefined sexy for North American men, there's no question straight women and gay men may not take to Richard Armitage's dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield the way they lusted over willowy Viggo Mortensen as ranger-turned-king Aragorn.
While Armitage is an attractive man in real life, he spends the entire Hobbit series buried beneath a mass of follicles and is also diminished by a metre through the magic of camera angles and CGI.
Don't call me superficial: As a real-life short guy with a beard, I accept Oakenshield's appearance as a potential limiting factor when it comes to a mainstream ad campaign.
5. Does anyone really want to watch Bombur eating bread in 3D?
Aside from Thorin Oakenshield, the Hobbit flicks have 12 other primary dwarf characters, all shot in eye-popping 3D in the unusually vivid format of 48 frames per second, versus the regular 24.
A key scene early on involves a meal at Bilbo Baggins' hobbit hole, where the dwarves toss food and eat heartily. As the token fat and clumsy dwarf, Bombur (Stephen Hunter) will likely engage in a lot of this consuming.
This may not be what James Cameron had in mind when he developed 3D technology for Avatar.
6. Can The Hobbit break the curse of the dragon movie?
In 1996, even Sean Connery could not elevate Dragonheart from the level of mediocre crud. In 2000, Jeremy Irons stunk up movie theatres around the planet in Dungeons & Dragons, which featured quite a few flying beasts. Christian Bale and Matt McConaughey could barely do better with Reign of Fire two years later, while 2006's poorly written Eragon landed with a disappointing "meh."
The most critically successful dragon movie of all time may be How To Train Your Dragon, the 2010 animated kids' movie. But putting a dragon on screen with human and other CGI-generated actors has proven trickier to pull off.
The good news is Smaug in the Hobbit flicks will be played via motion-capture by Benedict Cumberbatch, who will also play Sauron in these movies and the bad guy in the upcoming Star Trek: Into Darkness.
Clearly any actor with an ultra-British name was born to be a baddie. This bodes well in terms of tone.
7. Is there any reason to doubt Peter Jackson in the first place?
The Lord of the Rings won Oscars, made almost $3 billion and transformed New Zealand into even more of a tourist destination. Tolkien fans were mostly happy, with even uber-geeks forgiving the insertion of at least one actor from The Goonies.
Then again, Jackson's King Kong was sort of dull and way too reverent to the source material. So the man is not infallible.
Whether the Hobbit series will prove as precious in the long term as the previous trilogy is a saga that will take 2 1/2 years to play out. And that's just tonight's opening screening.

Karsten Nohl, the celebrity mobile cryptography expert, has been at it again. Two years ago he caused a stir by showing that the secret code that protects GSM mobile handsets was easy to crack, leaving phone calls open to interception by third parties.
This year, he is due to show that handsets can also be hijacked to make unauthorised calls and send text messages, running up huge bills without their owners' knowledge. GSM networks, which are vulnerable to this flaw, are used by around 80 per cent of the world's mobile users. Read more

[Mission Feedback] No Negotiation
No Negotiation was played for the first time at the beginning of Tuesday's session.
For those who have now played it, what were your thoughts?
Was it fun? Any annoyances? Did you ever feel unnecessary? Was the level of challenge acceptable? Was it too long or too short?
What could be improved?
How many people had framerate issues? Would they be resolved by removing or reducing ambient civilians?
I am particularly interested in hearing how the mission played out for the BRDM crew. How did the vehicle or crewmen eventually perish?
Were any bugs encountered?
BRDM commander right here.. everything went well when we cleared Vysota and the surroundings, but as soon as we drove to Alpha squad then they got engaged from both sides, so we headed NW towards the power station to clear out some enemies.. as we went on a flanking maneuver, our gunner was shot through the drivers view holes (I think) and some guys suddenly jumped out of bushes and scored a mobility kill, so me and kev (the driver), jumped out and proceeded to clear a hill overlooking the power station, he died on the very same hill and I did a while later.
Overall.. I would suggest that you change the BRDM to a loaned BTR-60 from the Takis, that way the commander has somewhere to sit and look through his periscope, the weapons on those vehicles are same, only difference is in troop capacity. If we had played with 3D view off then I would be just a guy who sat in a barrel without any means of sight.
And adding an engineer squad should be considered.
BRDM driver here - Kefirz has already covered how things turned out for us so I won't go over that in detail. I think we pushed a little too far forward and isolated ourselves, and considering how many UN soldiers had RPGs, that was asking for trouble.
I did have some framerate issues, particularly in driving to Vysota, that made driving precisely a little tough, and these generally cleared up once we hit Vysota, so the civilian ambience might be a little too high. Also agree with Kefirz about swapping the BDRM for a BTR-60, same kind of loadout and armour as the BDRM, gives the commander his own seat, and gives the CO more the option to mount a squad inside it.

My own tests in the editor have shown the BTR-60 to offer greater survivability to single RPG-7 hits than the BRDM-2.
I might change the BRDM-2 for a BTR-60, but adding an engineer team as well could end up with the BTR-60 doing most of the work in the mission and the plain infantry feeling a bit unnecessary.
ok... well you can always have options like limited ammo, and no engies :D
I think armor doesn't matter that much because who cares if you are killed with the 3rd or 4th rpg :D there are still plenty of them coming your way

The won rose almost 8 percent against the dollar last year, its biggest gain since 2009, cutting the value of Hyundai's overseas revenue in local currency terms and hurting the carmaker's price competitiveness abroad. To make matters worse, the yen eased by 11 percent, handing Hyundai's competitive edge back to its Japanese rivals.
The profit decline came even as Hyundai Motor sold a record 1.23 million vehicles in the fourth quarter. The company, which have enjoyed years of strong growth by offering stylish, yet affordable models such as the Sonata and Elantra, will face pressure to unroll new models to revive growth and lean even more on the China market - the sole bright spot on the horizon.
"With the yen seen weakening further, while the won is set to keep rising, Hyundai's ability to overcome worsening external factors will be put to the test this year," said Lim Hyung-geun, a fund manager at GS Asset Management.
"With no major new cars planned this year, it'll be very challenging year for Hyundai," Lim said, adding that he has already offloaded some of his Hyundai Motor shares. "It's not yet a true global leader like Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) which can resiliently overcome adverse currency moves."
Hyundai Motor's Chief Financial Officer Lee Won-hee warned that the won's gains will accelerate in the second half, but said their effects will be limited as the company counters the impact of the strengthening currency by moving more production overseas.
The company's profit was also hit after Hyundai set aside 240 billion won ($225.10 million) to cover the cost of compensating customers for overstated fuel-economy claims on some cars sold recently in the United States and Canada, Lee told reporters after the earnings announcement on Thursday.
Hyundai and affiliate Kia said they would help drivers pay for the additional fuel costs. Analysts projected provisions of about 300 billion won to 400 billion won.
Shares in Hyundai Motor extended their losses on Thursday after the disappointing results, ending 4.6 percent lower, versus the wider market's .KS11 0.8 percent fall.
Hyundai posted a 1.89 trillion won ($1.77 billion) net profit for October-December, missing a consensus forecast of 2.15 trillion won in a Reuters poll of 15 analysts.
The decline, down 6 percent from 2 trillion won a year earlier, was the first profit fall since Hyundai Motor switched accounting rules in 2011.
Hyundai aims to increase its U.S. sales by 4.4 percent this year, while its Europe sales would fall 6.5 percent, CFO Lee said.
By contrast, its Europe sales grew 10.2 percent last year while U.S. sales increased 8.9 percent.
Hyundai's China sales are forecast to rise 13.3 percent, Lee said. That compares with last year's 12 percent growth.
Hyundai, led by founding family member Chung Mong-koo, boosted sales in China after opening a new plant in the world's biggest auto market as Japanese rivals reeled from anti-Japanese sentiment.
"Global economic weakness will continue this year," Lee said, forecasting a prolonged downturn in the United States and Europe and slowing growth in China and other emerging markets.
Hyundai aims to increase global sales by 6 percent to 4.66 million vehicles this year, boosted by new plants in China and Brazil.
That volume increase would be the slowest since 2007 but would still surpass the overall industry's projected 3 percent rise and rival Toyota Motor Corp's (7203.T) 2.2 percent growth plan.

700 Child's Bibles Bring Joy to Children in Slums in the Philippines
Thursday, June 19, 2014
Success Story
The joy and excitement of the children seemed as though it would never die down. Father Eduardo de Haza was finally handing out the long awaited gifts: 700 Child's Bibles in the national language, Tagalog. And it was all thanks to the generosity of you, our benefactors.Caloocan-City has a population of 70,000 and forms part of a gigantic slum in the wider urban area of the capital city, Manila. The people live crowded together in makeshift tin huts and survive principally by sorting and gathering trash. Theparish is a lively one, and each year over 1,300 young girls and boys prepare for their First Holy Communion. There is also a children's choir, a group of the "Little Friends of Jesus," a Mass server's group, and many other groups besides. The Child's Bibles are a welcome addition to the catechetical work of the parish.Father Werenfried van Straaten, the founder of ACN, once wrote of children such as these: "God is the friend of these little ones. The emotion we feel when we discern in their eyes a glimmer of the lost Paradise is no more than a pale reflection of what the Lord experiences when He sees the purity of His own being, reflected in their untarnished souls. They are fresh as spring blossoms and clear as the morning dew. His delight is in them. That is why He does not want us to prevent these little ones, to whom the Kingdom of Heaven belongs, from coming to Him."So now, thanks to you, here in Caloocan-City in the Philippines, 700 Child's Bibles are helping to lead poor children to Jesus.

Now extinct, elephant birds were ratities, a group of
large flightless birds that includes the living ostrich, emu, rhea,

disappeared by the mid-1600's possibly due to overhunting or

silverblue - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link...but I'm still not seeing a point in having triple card setups, or even dual for that matter, on an AMD CPU. At least, not for another generation and chipset release. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIf you use your PC for other stuff than gaming, I could see a few usages. Reply
jesh462 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkSince when does the 990fx support any APU? Reply
jesh462 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkRead that wrong.. I'll get you a link. Reply
jesh462 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkhttp://uk.hardware.info/reviews/3714/5/radeon-hd-7...
Show me where any of these results rule out a 990 board. Yes, AMDs CPUs are not near as power efficient. Ok. To many, that doesn't matter, especially with such low idle usage. Most PCs spend 90%+ idle. Reply
DuckieHo - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link7 SATA ports on mITX!? Yay, great for a home server. Reply
creed3020 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkWow this definitely looks like the most native SATA ports I've ever seen on an mITX. Definitely suitable for a NAS/Home Server. I've just finished two Trinity builds and working on a third (HTPC). So far the performance has been great and temps are great.
I hope thought that ASRock worked out the VRM issues that were plaguing their other mITX board (FM2A75M-ITX) http://www.overclock.net/t/1337304/asrock-fm2a75m-... Reply
DuckieHo - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkYup... I'm now trying to decide an Intel build with a P8H77-I or use this for an AMD build. I trust Asus's VRM implementation more than ASRock's especially for a 23/7/365 server. Reply
CannedTurkey - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkI would love to see this model reviewed. Reply
juampavalverde - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkThe FM2A85X-ITX looks clever, a very powerful yet small board. Reply
JlHADJOE - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkFinally an FM2 motherboard in the form factor the APU is most likely to see use in. I was a bit baffled why everyone only offered full-sized ATX boards at launch, when HTPC is where AMD's APU will really shine. Reply
lichoblack - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkI'm very interested in a review of this miniITX board, but I'd also like to see a review of a MSI model, FM2-A75IA-E53 (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A75IA-E53.html) given that that one incorporates WiFI, Bluetooth out of the box. I've been pondering and mulling about building a special "console PC" for the living room to take some multimedia and gaming chores, but the dearth of miniITX FM2 Mobos is kind of letting me down.
I was thinking of using a Lian-Li PC-Q12, so i'd also be interested in seeing that case at least considered for review on the HTPC/living room concept builds. Reply

Sweet & Simple Vintage Tea Bridal Shower
Nothing says "Spring Shower" like a classic tea party with all the lady-like frills and florals you could wish for! Throw the bride-to-be a vintage inspired bridal shower full of whimsy with these ideas.
Nothing says "Spring Shower" like a classic tea party with all the lady-like frills and florals you could wish for! Throw the bride-to-be a vintage inspired bridal shower full of whimsy with these ideas.
'Tis the season for bridal showers! Since statistics show that June is the most popular month for weddings, it's a reasonable conclusion that spring is the most popular season for bridal showers, right? !
I created some tea party bridal shower ideas that would be pretty indoors or out, with a crowd or a more intimate guest list, in the middle of spring or even in the dead of winter!
When thinking of a tea party, things that come to mind are florals, soft colors, and lots of feminine flair. Lucky for me I have a collection of pretty tea cups and saucers, and plates that I started to amass over a decade ago. To get this look at your bridal shower, scour thrift stores, antique shops, or even grandma's house to find an eclectic collection of tea cups and saucers to serve tea in. Not only are these items utilitarian but they form the basis of our decor as well - check out the gallery to see more!
At the center of the table, a vase of flowers is a must, and a cake pedestal filled with tea sandwiches adds height and plenty of tasty bites for each guest to sample.
Nothing matches at this bridal shower and yet everything goes together. That's thanks to the colors and patterns being so complimentary. It all stands out, yet works together in unison.
This ecclectic approach comes in handy when setting the tables for a tea party. You don't have to worry about having matching sets for a crowd. Layer larger plates with smaller dessert plates, and top with a cup and saucer.
Honey lollipops are an added touch of "sweetness" to each tea cup and act as a name card holder too!
Be sure to serve both hot tea and cold tea to your guests - and don't settle for the typical! We got creative with our tea menu and served this homemade pomegrante iced tea recipe as well as an offering of assorted hot teas.
When hosting a tea party, shop for pretty canisters of tea that can do double duty as decor. For our sweets table I used tea canisters as risers to hold plates of brownie cakes, madeleines, and jam cookies. More were used to hold floral arrangements.
To use the empty containers as vessels for flowers you can do either of 2 things. Place a small water filled glass inside to hold the flowers, or line the canister with plastic wrap or a plastic baggie and insert water soaked floral foam inside. Cut the flower stems to a few inches and stick them into the floral foam.
Distinguish the guest of honor's seat by decorating the back of her chair with a garland of ribbon and flower clips.
I created a beautiful tea cup display using an old wire gate and 'S' hooks. This can be used solely as decoration or as a holding spot for guests to grab their own and fill. If using for a display, consider incorporating photos of the bride into the display for added personalization to the shower.
No bridal shower is complete without a few games! We customized an activity for our guests called "Spill the Tea" - a themed take on the classic gossip bridal shower game. Get the full run down on this bridal shower game and incorporate it into your celebration. Trust us, it's a lot of fun!
Send guests home with a gift that keeps on giving by filling a decorative box with tea party items. An array of pretty boxes can be found at the craft store in all different shapes and sizes and at assorted cost points. Fill with shredded paper filler and tuck in a mix of these items: tea cup and saucer, a couple of tea bags, a tube filled with raw sugar, or a mini jar of homemade or store bought jam.

This Award seeks to recognise and encourage projects which promote the practice of global education in formal and non-formal educational settings, displaying excellence in networking, partnership and coordination for increased and improved global education; bringing together different actors and institutions.
The call for applications for the World Aware Education Awards 2011 edition was launched on 20 October through the North-South Centre (NSC) website and newsletters, with the deadline established for 18 November.
This call resulted in 26 applications from Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Estonia, Ireland, Ireland, Italy, Nigeria, Portugal, Republic of South Africa, Rwanda, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, Uganda, United Kingdom, and international organisations such as IFMSA, EUROCLIO and NMUN.
Applicants were informed that projects would be submitted to an international jury for assessment and that the three laureate projects would be presented during the Global Education Week network seminar taking place in Warsaw on 12-13 December, in the framework of the European Development Days.
The international members of the jury were invited among NSC partner organisations and members of the Global Education Week network. Projects were selected accordingly to NSC selection criteria and scoring grid sent to the international jury, composed by the Council of Europe confederation of International NGOs; European Youth Forum and OBESSU - Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions.
Upon deliberation based on the suggestions of the jury the three laureate projects are:
· Gender & Media (Eesti People to People)
As an example of innovation in networking and partnership among EU and neighbouring countries and coordination for increased and improved global education across the Europe and Asia, the "Gender and Media" training project assured active participation of young people in global education.
Participants learned about present situation with gender equality and gender stereotypes in media in own countries, in Europe and EU neighboring countries, they made own analyses of media and media texts from gender perspective and global education, learned to write gender sensitive news articles, press-realizes and used modern media resources to create news for traditional and social media, blogs and networks.
The objective was to create a group of gender sensitive young people and media customers with new knowledge about gender and media.
· Sustainable development in cultural diversity: a Europe-Asia bridge for youth empowerment (ESTYES)
The project brought together 27 youth workers and 85 young volunteers from 15 youth organizations from Europe and Asia with the aim of exploring issues related to sustainable development and cultural diversity.
It explored the different ways sustainable development is conceived, lived and approached in different cultural realities.
Its final goal was to increase awareness on sustainable development and empower participants with skills, knowledge and experience in order to further work on related issues at local and international level, also thanks to a number of instruments (handbook, dialogue platform) conceptualized and produced in the course of the project.
Young people, Local communities, local organizations, and indireclty countries, and their societies, were the main targets of this project.
· Historiana – Your Portal to the Past (EUROCLIO)
Historiana is an international education program, initiated to develop an educational website on the history and heritage of Europe that involves more than 30 countries. It offers teachers and young people the opportunity to compare locations and periods, various experiences of people, and the consequences of historical developments, articulated in material and immaterial legacies of Europe. The website aim at offering alternative solution to the idea of a European History Textbook.
The first version of the website can be accessed at http://historiana.webtic.nl and is being prepared for piloting with students, which will start early 2012 after the final improvements have been implemented and more content has been added.
The North-South Centre of the Council of Europe would like to congratulate all applicants for the quality of their projects and praise their work and endeavour for intercultural understanding.
Furthermore the NSC would also like to take this opportunity to send its best wishes to all participating organisations and stakeholders and look forward for a fruitful collaboration in the future.

Peru's Ica Valley is a hotbed for growing asparagus...and is now the world's biggest exporter of the pencil shaped veggie.
There's almost no unemployment there...and poverty is way down
But...a danger lurks...because the water table is also way down...since asparagus is a very thirsty vegetable...and the region is basically...a desert.

1) This wasn't perfect (few are) but it was miles better than what we've seen in the previous nine days, and better than most games this season, actually. The Rangers created some offense, had the puck more, protected a lead (they haven't had a lot of practice at that) pretty well, and of course, the guy who has to be their best player was their best player.
2) Speaking of which, the decision to play Henrik Lundqvist back-to-back was a good one. He needs to get back to where he should be, and he is getting there, and now it's time to ride him for a while. There are 19 games left. He could play all of them, or almost all of them.
3) And he sure was superb in that second period, particularly on that sequence just before the Rick Nash 3-2 goal. What I also like about Lundqvist is his accountability. He made sure to point out how motivated he was after his poor play puck-handling led to Steve Eminger taking a penalty. The guy gets it.
4) Speaking of sequences, how about that one leading up to the Michael Del Zotto goal? Lundqvist loses his stick while handling the puck, then Johan Hedberg comes out and does his Ron Hextall/Patrick Roy stroll up the ice. Derek Stepan steals it, loses it, steals it back and flips a shot off Ilya Kovalchuk and into the air, where Del Zotto bats it home.
5) Four goals in the first period? Yikes. And more than one in an entire game for the Rangers? That's allowed?
6) MSG's ice is notorious. But the ice at the Rock might be worse. I mean, did you see that crater? Lucky we didn't lose a linesman.
7) Patrik Elias can play on my team any day. And Kovalchuk=Monster. Well, most of the time
8) How about that gift penalty when Dan Girardi elbowed Lundqvist? Too bad the power play reverted to the three-above-the-circles approach.
9) The Rangers D again let opposition forwards behind them … even on the play that led to the faceoff that led to the goal, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi were both fronting two Devils between them and the net.
10) Then the Rangers' fourth line gives up 2-2 goal right after takng the lead. Matter of fact, for lots of this game, the Devils fourth line was much, much better again (visions of ECF).
11) Del Zotto had two really, really good games in a row. That pass on the Nash goal was something special. He also spent some time battling with Clarkson. Like it.
12) As good as Nash's shot was on that 3-2 goal, and it was terrific, what I really liked was the edge to his game. I think he's done that in quite a few of these divisional games. I thought that the Big Line was pretty strong again in the offensive zone, and pretty scary at times in the other end. I still say the Rangers go nowhere if those three guys — Nash, Richards and Marian Gaborik — don't produce like first-line players.
13) Another strong game for the third line, too. Brian Boyle not only hitting people but hitting them hard, and not picking spots. And J.T. Miller, even though he made a mistake or two, was involved.
14) MSG Network is developing a terrible NBC/Versus-like habit of zooming into a closeup immediately after every whistle, no matter what might be happening on the ice.
15) Clever play by Dan Girardi on the wide shot off the backboard that Carl Hagelin banged in.
16) I won my bet with eric, who wagered the Rangers would never see the top eight again. So two MSG hot dogs for me (unless eric will come to Walter's with me, in which case the next two are on me). It was like stealing, a bet like that. Maybe we'll go double or nothing later on.

HARROD — An emotional week filled with memories, laughter, tears and
heartache filled the community of Harrod last week. An outpouring of
love, thoughts and prayers came in abundance for the family of Allen
Hughes who died suddenly on Jan. 18, leaving friends and family in
shock. At only 52 years old, Hughes, described as someone who
would help anyone at anytime, was gone.
Losing Hughes so quickly has touched many in this area and
surrounding communities. He owned his own business, was a true family
man and was also a firefighter for Harrod. A firefighter, someone who
would put his life on the line for anyone. This is a family outside of
family. They have lost a brother. They are grieving and trying to go one
without one of their own: Firefighter 56.
A memorial service was held on Friday, Jan. 24, followed by a tribute
that has left many without words to describe all of their emotions.
Hughes' casket was lifted up by his fellow firefighters in full gear, to
be carried on top of a fire truck to his final resting place in
Westminster. The caravan of fire trucks, rescue squads, hazmat and other
township EMS personnel led the rest of those with funeral flags on
their vehicles as they entered Harrod. Going past the Harrod Fire
Department and under the huge flag, the lights were on, the sirens were
sounding and the processional continued on in his honor.
Once at
the cemetery, Hughes was lifted gently down from the truck and carried
to the tent. Then came the last call for Firefighter 56. As the Allen
County voice sounded over the radios, there was an eerie silence that
filled the blustery cold air. Wind was pushing the snow and the biting
cold had fingers and toes numb, but that silence broke though all of it.
As the crowd stood there, watching the firefighters salute their
fallen brother one last time, there was a calmness to the wind. Above
the tent for just a few seconds, a slight rainbow appeared and was
suddenly gone. An amazing tribute to honor a man that has touched so
many has left an imprint on the hearts of everyone in attendance that
