Two return to Newsweek fold
Newsweek has dipped into its historical talent pool with two new high-profile hires, Capital has learned.
Matthew Cooper, the big-time Washington journalist, will begin reporting for Newsweek from D.C. on a contract basis, editor-in-chief Jim Impoco tells Capital, and veteran Asia correspondent Bill Powell has been hired as a China-based staff writer.
Story Continued Below
Both men worked at Newsweek in the '90s and both have worked at rival title Time as well. Cooper was most recently a correspondent at National Journal and Powell at Reuters.
Cooper and Powell are expected to bring a bit of the old fire back to Newsweek, which has been returning to its roots under Impoco's leadership following a series of detours.
Impoco, a former New York Times and Reuters editor, has made a series of hires since taking the reins several months ago, snatching up seasoned bylines like Kurt Eichenwald and Jeff Stein in addition to younger up-and-comers.
The most recent batch of fresh-faced recruits includes Zoe Schlanger, a homepage editor at Talking Points Memo; Zach Schonfeld, an editorial fellow at The Wire; and Grant Burningham, a Yahoo homepage editor. Impoco also said he's bringing veteran sports writer and Newsweek contributor John Walters onto the staff.
The newsroom remains comparatively small, however, and the publication is still striving to rebuild an audience worthy of its outsize legacy.
But it's a fun time to work there: The new crew will relaunch Newsweek in print sometime this winter; it spent the past year as a digital-only proposition under former parent company IAC.
The magazine's new owners, IBT Media, have plans for what Impoco described last month as "a more subscription-based model, closer to what The Economist is compared to what Time magazine is. We see it as a premium product, a boutique product."

While we have known the premiere date for some time, Nine now releases further details about what's in store for The Block: All Stars.
Four of your favourite Blockhead couples; Back in Bondi; Four Heritage listed houses; One winning couple.
Celebrating ten years since its debut, The Block is back in Sydney where it all began; in Bondi.
This year, 7 O'Block promises to take the competition to a new level when four 'All Star' couples return to fight for the title they felt they deserved but never received: winners of The Block.
The Block All Stars are Phil and Amity (2003), Mark and Duncan, aka "The Two Fat Tradies" (2010), Josh and Jenna (2011) and Dan and Dani (2012).
They will be dropped into the thrill ride that is property renovation, in a contest to complete the best renovation and sale of four identical heritage-listed houses.
When complete, each one of the four renovated properties will have at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms, huge kitchens, dining and two living areas, plus generous outdoor areas both front and back.
The All Star teams know only too well the pressures of living among their renovations, abiding by council restrictions and budgeting to pay for their tradies, furniture and fittings.
They might have done it before but they have no idea of the twists and turns the new series has in store for them.
7pm weeknights and 6.30pm Sundays on Nine from Feb 4.

This article is an opinion editorial and rant piece. If you do not want to hear me rant about what I will call idiots against bikers then do not read this article.
First off I will talk about a moronic woman named Melissa Arrington, age 27 who was sentenced to 10 and ½ years for negligent homicide and aggravated drunk driving, because the judge in her case found out that she was laughing about running over a bicyclist in her car, and dragging him 800 feet to his death. No one apparently warned Melissa that her calls in and out of jail were monitored, and when she was caught laughing about killing a bicyclist, it was turned over to the Judge. She could have received less than 4 years on the charges, but I guess the Judge got pissed off when he heard the tape of her laughing! You can read the original article by clicking here now.
I will just say this. Everyone who knows me knows I am into Bikers Rights. The way I see it a person on a bicycle has the same rights to share the road as a person on a motorcycle. The victim in this case was a 45 year old man who simply took his bicycle out for a ride one evening and was the victim of a homicide at the hands of a drunken cager named Melissa Arrington. Kill a biker go to jail, this applies to bicyclist too!
The next winner I am going to talk about is a personal injury lawyer whose bullshit rantings were brought to my attention by Biker Law Blog readers. His name is Stephen D. Lombardi of Iowa. He apparently advertises on Injuryboard.com which is a service that charges attorneys big bucks per month to be listed on their site for exclusive areas. In other words when you go to injuryboard.com or most other lawyer directories you are going to find lawyers who pay big bucks to be listed there. Just because a lawyer pays big bucks to be listed does not mean you are getting the best lawyer in town if you know what I mean. Read some of my articles on selecting a motorcycle lawyer, or other personal injury lawyer.
Now I am not in anyway impugning Mr. Lombardi's abilities as a lawyer. I do not know him or his work. He may be the best personal injury lawyer in Iowa, I have no clue. But I will say this; by his own writings he is no friend to bikers and motorcyclist. If you read his article that is posted here you will see full well that Mr. Lombardi supports discrimination against bikers and motorcyclist. He is endorsing mandatory helmet laws for bikers as well as mandatory insurance requirements for bikers. He might as well work for the insurance industry! Then, on his own website, he states that he represents people in motorcycle accidents. Click here and you will see what I mean. To cover himself he then wrote another article which you can read here. Apparently the biker community has caught on to his articles because they have been sending me links to this Mr. Lombardi.
All I can say is this; it is not good business to attack your own clients, or to endorse discrimination against those that you mean to represent.
I will let the biker and motorcycle community decide and make their own decision on this issue. I for one am a straight shooter. I am not one to bite the hand that feeds me. I am sure that Mr. Lombardi would appreciate comments from you bikers and motorcyclist in the biker community telling him what you think about his articles!

Home > Community > Health Library > Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is a rare inherited disease of the nerves and
muscles that occurs mostly in males. The most common type of muscular dystrophy
causes rapid muscle wasting and progressive weakness early in life, usually
between the ages of 2 and 5.
Muscle wasting begins in the shoulder and pelvic areas. Fat and
connective tissue may grow into muscles and cause abnormal enlargement
(hypertrophy), especially in the calf muscles of the legs. Within several years
muscular dystrophy affects the muscles of the upper body and arms. Eventually
all the major muscles are affected.
There is no cure for muscular dystrophy. Treatment involves
controlling symptoms.

Serger Techniques
Advanced Serger Techniques
1. Inside Corner – Four thread sergers work best when serging in a straight line. It is suggested that when you want to serger an inside corner you cut a ¼" nip in the center of the corner so that you can more easily manipulate the fabric. Some books suggest that you make a small fold in the corner and then relax it once it has been serged. It is best if you try both techniques and see which one you find more comfortable.
2. Outside Corner – It is possible to turn the corner without sergering off. This technique takes a lot of practice but can be done. Serge to the end of the fabric, lift the presser foot, pivot the fabric, retract the thread, place the needles in the fabric by hand turning and then continue serging to the next corner. Problem – if you do not get it just right there will be loose stitches and/or dog ear corners. It is easier to serge off and hide thread tails whenever possible.
(Graphic came in at the top)
3. For SHARP outside corners rotate the fabric CLOCKWISE after each side has been serged. That way you will start with a clean raw edge until the last raw edge. Note – at times when starting to serge over a previously serged seam the thread will stack (form stitches without advancing the fabric).
4. Sergin a circle or oval* - Notch to start is the best way to perform this technique. Notch to start means cut a section out of the fabric so it can easily be placed under the presser foot and beyond the upper knife. The section is usually about ¼" deep by 1" in length give or take. To stop you must stitch right on top of the beginning stitches for about 1" and then remove your foot from the foot pedal. Next you lift the presser foot, gently pull the fabric away from the needle, lower the presser foot and then serge a thread tail. Hide thread tails and dab with seam sealant. Tip – when the fabric starts to bunch up as you are turning, stop the serger with the needles in the fabric, gently lift the presser foot but not to its highest position, and the fabric will relax. This technique also works well with outside and inside curves.
(Graphic came in at the top.)
5. Pokies – to prevent pokies it is suggested that you move the upper knife a little to the right to bite more fabric. Always test on scrap fabric first. Another way to prevent pokies is to place water soluble stabilizer on top of the fabric. This acts like a sausage casing and encloses the fabric. Note – pokies are fine fibers of fabric poking out from the segerd edge.
6. Fixing skipped stitches – Use a hand sewing needle and clear nylon thread unknotted. Start from the back and go to the front and secure the skipped stitches. Once the threads are secure pass the needle to the back again and then hand tie a double knot. If possible hide the ends of the clear nylon thread under some stitches or under the fabric. Cut away excess clear nylon thread.
7. Serger Tucking – With wrong sides together you make an outside seam. This is a great way to encourage using embroidery thread to make a custom thread color. Make several rows on a long piece of fabric. On the sewing machine, stitch vertical lines so that the seams alternate direction. The threads used on the back will be featured when you change direction.
8. Serger Pintucks – Pintucks can easily be achieved by using either the rolled hem or picot edge. The Picot edge with 100% cotton Robison Anton thread makes a beautiful serger pintuck.

Thank you! A couple of years ago I made some rolled hem napkins for our family's daily use. I had found a technique to turn the sharp corners without having to cut tails, and was trying to remember! I googled and found your blog and LOVE it! I wish I didn't have unfinished projects though...maybe when all the kids are out of the house that will change! Just wanted you to know you've helped at least one person out here in the interwebbertubesasphere!!!ReplyDelete

Classes written using the Microsoft .NET Framework can make use of COM+ services in an integrated and logical manner. This article discusses COM+ services for in-process components such as JIT, synchronization, transactions, object pooling, constructor strings and the shared property group manager.
Today, developers use such tools as Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 to build COM+ components and install the components in COM+ applications to use COM+ services. With Visual Studio.NET, managed classes are built and then installed in COM+ applications, in order to get such COM+ services as transactions, object pooling and activity semantics. Using Visual Studio.NET and the .NET Framework provides a number of advantages over Visual Studio 6.0 -- namely, better tools, the common language runtime and a much easier coding syntax. Each managed class can be hosted in a coexisting COM+ context; thus, managed classes can take full advantage of all the COM+ services. In the .NET Framework, these classes are known as serviced components. Any managed class can be modified to use COM+ services. The Microsoft.ComServices namespace provides various custom attributes and classes to assist the developer in accessing these services from managed code.
Creating BankComponent.cs
using System; using System.EnterprizeServices; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; [assembly: ApplicationName("BankComponent")] [assembly: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("TestApp.snk")] namespaceBankComponent { [Transaction(TransactionOption.Required)] public class Account : ServicedComponent { // SetComplete automatically called if no exception [AutoComplete] public bool Post(int accountNum, double amount) { // .. update the database, no need to call SetComplete return true; } } // - Registration details - // COM+ Application Name to add the Component // Strong Name for Assembly }
Creating BankConsoleClient.cs
using System; using BankComponent; namespace BankComponentConsoleClient { class Client { public static int Main() { Account act = new Account(); act.Post(5, 100); return 0; } } }
Compile the files with the following procedure
SN –k TestApp.snk csc /target:library /r:Microsoft.ComServices.Dll BankComponent.cs csc /target:exe /r:BankComponent.Dll BankConsoleClient.cs
When you invoke the BankConsoleClient.exe, the COM+ application gets generated. Now the component is ready to use the services of COM+ runtime and can be accessed using VB6.

Reuniting with her former NINE co-star, Tony-nominee Laura Benanti is currently filming "Take The Lead" in Toronto. She plays the love interest of Antonio Banderas in the new film which is due out in 2006. Telling BroadwayWorld about her latest project, Laura said "I am thrilled to be working with Antonio again...he is a wonderful man as well as a generous actor. I am very blessed to have this opportunity."
Benanti is currently doing double duty, having carefully arranged shooting of both the film, and the upcoming FX sitcom, "Starved." Laura recently performed her one-woman show, "Blame it on My Youth" at Feinstein's and prior to that, appeared as Catherine in the World AIDS Day Concert of Stephen Schwartz's "Pippin."
Laura's Broadway credits include Nine (Outer Critics Circle nomination), Cinderella, Into the Woods (for which she received Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, La Ovation and Tony nominations), Swing! (for which she received a Tony nomination), The Sound of Music, Wonderful Town at City Center Encores! She also writes and performs her own original music, as showcased in the BroadwayWorld Front and Center series last August, along with Tony Nominee Gavin Creel.

Barbie Does Campy.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you probably know that the Barbie doll turned fifty this month. Now, if you read this column with any regularity, you may recall that I am not exactly a Barbie lover, and as such, I normally wouldn't take time out of my life to mark this momentous occasion. However, seeing as how my daughter and I were invited to a celebratory party at the "real" Malibu Barbie Dream House, I simply couldn't resist the urge to go check it out, my disaffinity for Barbie notwithstanding (and yes, I think I made up the word disaffinity, but I am too lazy to go hunting through a Thesaurus for the proper antonym for affinity, so disaffinity it is).
Let me just say this, right off the bat: the Malibu Barbie Dream House was kickass. From the moment we pulled into the ivy-covered gates emblazoned with hot pink roses in the shape of a "B," and saw the hot pink, blinged-out convertible Volkswagon with the pull-down makeup tray just above the rear license plate, I knew that I was going to be converted, right then and there. According to the lovely woman I met from Mattel's PR firm, the house was rented, the owner's furniture had been pulled out, and famed interior designer Jonathan Adler had re-decorated it especially for the birthday girl herself. And wow, did he re-decorate. There was the custom, super-plush, black and white carpet monogrammed with lowercase bs, and the chandelier in the living room, made entirely from blonde, Barbie ponytails. There were the living room chairs covered in fabrics from various Barbie outfits and shaped to look like corsets, complete with black satin laces criss-crossing the backs. There was the boudoir ceiling draped in hot pink velvet, and the walk-in closet filled with identical, hot pink, Christian Louboutin platforms (which, the PR person told me, required a bodyguard). And of course, there was the magnificent ocean view, just steps above the Pacific Coast Highway. It was, without a doubt, a house that any girl would dream about.
And yet, it didn't feel like it was inhabited by the Barbie that I knew. The Barbie that I knew was far too earnest to live in such a tongue-in-cheek setting, which is exactly what I never liked about her as a kid. She was so nice to Ken, and she was so good to her younger cousin, Skipper. She seemed like the kind of girl who said things like, "gosh" and "golly," and who volunteered at a homeless shelter on Friday nights instead of going out on dates. She had those perfect clothes and the perfect house and the perfect boyfriend, and the camper that you just know she never used for getting high, or having sex, or doing anything that a real Malibu girl with a camper in the 1970s would have done. And frankly, I found her annoying. I mean, forgive me, but I prefer my female icons with a bitchy side.
I love this - from the idea of a Black Power Barbie to the things Barbie wouldn't do in her camper, to her inability to "cast off the vestiges of her Sandra Dee past" and the gay fashion icon marketed to 30-somethings with a sense of humor. You've hit everything I love and hate about Barbies, with articulation and wit. Definitely stumbling. :) Am only disappointed I live too far from Malibu to visit the mansion.
As I got older, what bothered me about Barbie were her impossible proportions. But as far as the she-could-be-anything-without-context... Well I'm a child of the 80s so I was lucky that the women who came before HAD knocked down so many barriers for my generation, but with Barbie, I saw that aspect of her - that she could be anything - as a way of rewriting history and stereotypes for young girls: if BARBIE can be a fill-in-the-blank, so can I.
Incidentally, my favorite Barbie was the one my parents had to really search to find me: a Hispanic Barbie for that side of my heritage. That was an unusual thing to see back then. I'm glad that at least, has changed.
I was at the Barbie Malibu Gala....and I only remember seeing one young girl with her Mother....she was in an adorable Black Sparkly Tulle skirt over leggings. Most of the people were from the design community or the celebrity circuit. So I question the "can't count" reference to mother/ daughter conversations in the museum portion. Too bad in trying to write a pithy and disparaging column about Barbie...you couldn't overlook your own prejudice and report on what a fun, classy, and joyous event it was!!

For hundreds of thousands of bank employees who work in branch offices, India has turned into Ramgarh of G.P. Sippy's Sholay while cobrapost.com's associate editor Syed Masroor Hasan has become their Gabbar Singh. Why does he strike such fear in them? Hasan—posing as a relative of a fictitious politician—is approaching bank managers for ways to change the colour of money from black to white. Gabbar Singh led a group of bandits in looting and killing people in the 1975 Bollywood blockbuster while Hasan is a journalist who undertakes sting operations. In the movie, Gabbar Singh brags to his gang that mothers in Ramgarh and its surrounding villages cajole their children to sleep by warning that, or else, he would come and get them. On the contrary, bank employees are keeping their eyes wide open and checking every document to make sure they are following the know-your-customer, or KYC, norms.
On a more serious note, Cobrapost's latest revelation has implicated 12 public sector banks, seven private banks and four insurance companies—both public and private—in the alleged money laundering racket. All told, these entities account for about three-fourths of the Indian financial system. What does this mean? Is the entire financial system rotten? The market does not believe so—at least the movement of bank stocks in the past two days demonstrates investors' scepticism about the Cobrapost findings.
The reason behind the market not taking the sting operation seriously could be the hype surrounding the revelations that blurs the fine line between tax evasion and money laundering. People have been continuously looking for ways to keep their unaccounted money safe and banks and insurance companies have been extending a helping hand to them to do so when they are reasonably sure that the money is not being used to fund terrorist activities—one of the prime reasons why anti-money laundering rules were put in place.
For most branch employees, this is as natural as going to a dentist for treatment of a toothache. Offering a locker to keep money in it is also a normal practice as what a customer keeps in her locker—bread, butter or money—is none of a bank's business.
In all probability, Cobrapost will have a third episode of its sting operation covering the rest of the banking and financial system and more instances will come to the surface, but the market may once again shrug off such findings as there is nothing unusual about them.
This is not to condone what banks have been doing but to illustrate the Indian psyche—we are used to certain things and certain practices are taken for granted even though they are not in sync with the spirit and letter of the law of the land.
Although the sting operation has tended to sensationalize things, it could lead to a purge in the entire system. Indeed the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which doesn't like to talk too much about the probe that it set in motion after the allegations were first made, has initiated steps to streamline wealth management offerings by banks, apart from the sale of mutual fund and insurance products along with the incentives associated with these. One very critical step is the proposal to segregate marketing and transactional banking.
The noise on the sting operations should also encourage the banking system to do some soul searching and change some of the old practices, beyond branch banking and the sale of financial products.
At times, bank executives themselves earn a bit of money which they cannot account for. For instance, the chief executive of a public sector bank is entitled to a $500 daily allowance or per diem for overseas trips irrespective of the fact whether this is spent or not. For domestic trips, the per diem is around Rs.1,200. Such norms are prevalent even in RBI. These norms were formulated long ago to create an avenue for a little earning on the side, in a perfectly legal way, when the salary levels in the banking system were much lower. They should now be scrapped and banks should shift to the system of reimbursing actual spending on overseas or domestic trips. That would be a nice way of saying that as with charity, reforms related to unaccounted money also begin at home.

Ellen M. Haskell
Named the 8th official principal of Wheaton in 1876, Miss Haskell brought a different approach and demeanor to the school. Students remembered her as a "Christian Gentlewoman," carrying herself with elegance and charm. The most noticeable change was abolishing or modifying many of Mrs. Metcalf's strict rules and establishing a more democratic atmosphere.
Despite her positive impact on student life at Wheaton, the Trustees believed that the deeply religious Miss Haskell was not sufficiently committed to urging the students to publicly declare their Christian conversion. Miss Haskell's tenure was also marked by dropping enrollments, probably caused by renovations and additions made to Seminary Hall in 1878, which would have interfered significantly with teaching, and made living in the nearby boarding house noisy, dirty, and uncomfortable. The Board of Trustees, despite the displeasure their decision caused Mrs. Wheaton, accepted Haskell's resignation in 1879. Miss Haskell also may have felt her leadership threatened by the assistant principal, Mary Briggs, a popular, jovial teacher, who had probably expected to replace Mrs. Metcalf. She was again passed over in 1879.

I currently have a web site in which I am using some Javascript to change the Background of a DIV.
The DIV is defined as follows :

and the Javascript I am using is as follows :
var docEl = document.getElementById('outerscreen'); docEl.style.backgroundImage = "url('pics/intro.gif')";
My problem arises where this function works perfectly on IE but fails for Chrome, FF and Safari.
Can anyone shed any light on what the problem is and how I might be able to resovle this.
Thanks in advance Chris
Its hard to say whats going wrong as the code you posted should be 100% perfect in all browsers. Is there a demo link you could share with us?
he website is here frances-white.com it works just dandy in IE, however when in Chrome or FF the image does not load.
Because i have a redirect on the URL it may be better seen here http://www.whitecoles.co.uk/lifecoaching/
The source code in question appears on line 12 - 13 or there abouts
I had a quick look and the background color for #mainscreen is the reason why nothing is appearing, simply remove the background color and the image will appear.

A SUPERMARKET is offering shoppers the chance to opt for a compostable shopping bag, following the introduction of the new food waste scheme in the district.
Co-operative food stores in Walters Ash and Great Missenden have made the decision to offer lightweight compostable carrier bags for 6p, which can then be used as food waste caddy liners.
Wycombe District and Chiltern District Council now run a joint waste partnership, which includes the recycling of food waste.
Residents are asked to collect food waste in compostable bags in a silver caddy, before being transferred outside to a brown box to be collected by bin men.
But some householders have complained about the cost of the compostable bags.
The Co-Operative said the bags are more than strong enough to carry shopping, and at 6p each they say it is around half the price of food waste caddy liners bought on a roll. These retail at about £3 for a roll of 25 bags.
Andy Ellis, The Co-operative Food's regional operations manager in Wycombe, said: "Every compostable carrier bag used is one less conventional plastic shopping bag in circulation. We believe they will have a significant impact upon the number of plastic bags which end up in landfill sites every year.
"Our compostable carrier bags are the only certified bag of their kind in the UK. Our aim is to enable our customers to recycle more of the products they buy from us – from the leftover food and packaging, right through to the bag they use to carry their shopping home."

Fantastic spacious apartment in the walls of the ancient city. Friendly and helpful host. Easy walking distance to sights, shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.
El anfitrión muy atento desde el principio, y nos aconsejó bien sobre aparcamiento, restaurantes y visitas en general por Coimbra.
The apartment is in the historic part of the town: new, tasteful, wide for two person and confortable. All is clean.
Joao is the perfect host: kind and helpful.
Joao heeft ons goed wegwijs gemaakt in Coimbra met tips over bezienswaardigheden, historie van de stad en universiteit, fado, eten en drinken. De studio ligt gunstig t.o.v. De bezienswaardigheden, is ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Parkeren in de buurt is gratis maar parkeerplaatsen zijn schaars. We hebben een fijne tijd gehad in Coimbra, mede dank zij Joao.
Encore mieux que ce que nous attendions. Immeuble entièrement rénové à quelques pas du quartier historique. Joao nous a gentiment indiqué ce qu'il fallait visiter et nous a proposé quelques-uns de ses restaurants préférés. C'est un hôte vraiment gentil et prévenant. Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Coimbra.
We enjoyed being with João very much. The appartment was clean and in the historical centre. João gave us a lot of information about Coimbra, he helped us very much. We can recommand the place to everyone. We had a nice time in Coimbra.
Heel hartelijk ontvangen met thee en koffie en uitgebreide tips over mogelijkheden in Coimbra. Prachtig licht en ruim appartement. Heel schoon. We misten theedoeken in de jeuken.
We had a very pleasant stay in Coimbra. The appartement was very good, we loved it..
It is in the old centre of Coimbra, so everything is nearby.
The studio is excellent. In an old building but completly renewd so very comfortabel. Joao, our host was friendly and gave us very good advices.
We can recomment the studio!
Hi Joao,
We had some wonderful days in Coimbra. We understand now why Portegees people are so proud of this city. Your recommendation to go for the national museum brought us to one of the most beautyful historical sculptures in Europe.
The fado's were great to listen. Last of all, your luxery appartment beautiful styled in the historical center made the stay complete. We can recommend this appartment for everybody who want tro visit the city of Coimbra.
Comentários sobre outras ofertas desse anfitrião.
When you drive to the flat you have to go through the old city and end in a dead end road. Just in this road is the very old but totally rebuild apartment. Joao already waited for us and gave us a very detailed explanation of what to see, where to eat and a nice story about the history of the apartment.
The apartment is big and very luxurious and makes you feel at home right away. When we where there it was quite hot, so we used the fan to sleep well.

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2004-- Report identifies barriers to near and long-term growth in the pharmaceutical market; recommends methods companies can use to manage business threats
The demand for healthcare products is ever-increasing, yet large pharmaceutical companies are struggling to expand, according to Navigant Consulting's (NYSE:NCI) Front Line Strategic Market Report(TM) analysts. In fact, the analysts also discovered that leading pharmaceutical players have posted much slower increases in earnings per share and net income in recent years.
In their recently concluded study entitled "The Changing Pharmaceutical Market: Strategies for Profitable Growth in a Maturing Market," the analysts have identified the factors that are causing this growth paradox and may continue to hinder the expansion of pharmaceutical companies, while also recommending several strategies companies can use to better position themselves to manage these factors.
Rigorous research by the analysts yielded the identification of several impediments to pharmaceutical company growth, including thin product pipelines, greater presence of generic competition, an uncertain regulatory environment and declining return on investment for sales and marketing efforts. However, the analysts were also able to identify a number of areas of potential expansion for pharmaceutical companies, including investment into biotechnology products and effective development of targeted therapeutics with smaller, but still profitable, potential. The analysts believe that for pharmaceutical companies to take advantage of these opportunities, they must adapt to this maturing industry by lowering their costs across all segments of their business while redefining their dependence on blockbuster business models.
"Larger pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have been relying on a business model that emphasizes the development of blockbuster drugs," said Ashwin Singhania, Associate for Navigant Consulting's Front Line Strategic Market Reports. "Following this model, drug companies will find it increasingly difficult to ensure growth in terms of profitability, as there are only a limited number of products in their pipelines. Rather, companies should seek to develop and market products that are more innovative, even if the potential sales of the drug are lower than what most pharmaceutical companies currently expect. However, companies must recognize that this change does not come quickly or inexpensively. In order to fund this innovation, companies must be certain to maximize revenues from products they currently market."

Family tree▼
m. 1872
m. 1904
Facts and Events
Sometime after Albert's death Ida and Marion moved down to New London .World War I was coming on and Ida got a job at the Electric Boat Company as a secretary. While there she met and married her second husband, Cyril Hewitt. Cyril was a draftstman at the shipyard. Cyril lived in Uncasville and Ida's father had retired from the railroad and moved back there into Ida's grandmother's house. Cyril and Ida built property on the west side of the Norwich-New London Road just North of the Waterford-Montville line. They built a house and started a chicken farm, raising White Leghorn hens to provide white eggs. (White eggs found a ready market among the New Yorkers who were moving into Connecticut. Native New Englanders produced and used only brown eggs.)
The poultry business was a success, but Cyril was not well and and diedin the 1920's. Ida ran the farm alone until about 1940. She was in her60's and the work got too hard for her. She went to work atConecticutCollege as a salad preparer in the dining room. Sometime in the 50's she retired from that. After an accident in which she demolished her car, Marion convinced her to sell her home. Kirkwood built her a small house next to theirs in Wickford RI and there she lived for the rest of her life.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON/We Need A Little Christmas
Monday, December 24, 2012 12:00 AM
"The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a Light dawned." (Matthew 4: 16)
Back in 1966, Jerry Herman's Broadway Musical, Mame, premiered at the Winter Garden Theater in New York City. It was an instant success and brought gladness to thousands even though it reminded us of a time in our history when the spirit of the nation was at an all-time low. The scene of the musical was set in 1929. The stock market had just crashed. Lives, families and businesses had been destroyed. Added to that, was the gloom of international politics with the threat of impending conflict. All of these factors contributed to an overall darkness and sadness that permeated the life of this nation. We're told that Mr. Herman himself was born in the midst of the Great Depression of the 1930's and, therefore, was acquainted personally with circumstances that might bring an air of sadness into the very heart of a family struggling to get by. And so, it was against that backdrop that Herman imposed upon the consciousness of the nation a little song about Christmas: "We Need a Little Christmas, Right This Very Minute".
Looking at the lyrics, I was struck by the admission: "for I've grown a little leaner, grown a little colder, grown a little sadder, grown a little older". It seems to me to be an admission commonly felt by many of us - of how life tends to beat us down and rob us of joy. Difficult circumstances have a way of hardening us and making us cold - towards others and towards God. Easily we can become bitter and cynical. And so, through this song we admit: "we need a little music, need a little laughter, need a little singing, ringing through the rafter". Yes, it would seem that our need of these things now is as great as it was in 1966 or even the 1930's. We need a little Christmas now!
I can't help but think of this as I read these words in Matthew, which is itself a quote from the Old Testament book of Isaiah. What we have before us here, of course, is part of the prophesy of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and His mission to shed His Light upon a people who were languishing in darkness. Notice that we are told it was a "Great Light". The surpassing power of God is stressed - an illuminating power that dispels the darkness that surrounds us and permeates our core. Part of its greatness is seen in Christ's ability to bring us life and hope - great news for a people living under the shadow of death. Another aspect of its greatness is to be found in the gifts of joy and laughter and singing which God imparts to a people who had nearly forgotten what it was like to be filled with cheer - a people bowed down with the unsustainable cares of a burdensome life. God, in the Christ, shared a melody with us and lifted our spirits once again. Do we not require this again? Do we not need a little Christmas even now?
Stop for a moment and consider the state of your own heart. Do you detect even a smidge of coldness or sadness or hopelessness? I get calls here in my office all the time from individuals who are hurting, families who can't pay their bills, parents that fear they can no longer provide adequately for their own children. We're surrounded by people who are hurting, fearful, and need help. But what about you? Is there not also within you a measure of darkness, discouragement, estrangement and loneliness that longs for the Light of God in Christ?
How quickly we are prone to take down the decorations and toss out the tree when Christmas is over. But wouldn't you agree that even now (and perhaps especially now) we need a little Christmas? -- that wonderful Light to carry with us into the darkness of the coming year?
I've always found it somewhat inexplicable how the spirits of so many people seem to take a nose dive in the days following Christmas. Perhaps it has to do with unfulfilled expectations or the sudden departure of family and friends who, by their holiday presence, helped to ward off lurking fears and worries. But now, as life returns to a more normal state, those fears and worries come crashing in. Wouldn't this be a wonderful time for the Light of Christ to invade our darkness and bring us hope?
The truly great news for us is that Christmas is always with us! That Light Christ brought continues to shine for us. No matter how cold we have become - no matter the depth of sadness to which our spirits have plunged - God, in Christ, is able to lift us up and restore joy and laughter to our souls. And that's especially good news for us because there really is never a time when we aren't in desperate need of that assistance. Oh, we imagine that we are able to get by on our own most of the time and have need to run to God only on the rarest of occasions. But the truth is that such thoughts are a delusion. We need Christ every day - all year long - all life long! Without Him we walk in darkness and our lives take on a morbid, sad existence without song or melody. Christ came to change that and to fill our lives with meaning and purpose. Do you need a little Christmas - right this very minute? I know that I do - and am thankful that He who came so long ago to walk among us as one of us - lives for us even now and stands ready to fill our lives with His Light!

Ellsworth School Board hears plans for new Elementary school
If all goes as presented to the Ellsworth School Board Monday, a $29.4 million proposal to develop a local campus featuring a new elementary school will be voted on by district residents next February.
The two-story 108,000 square foot elementary school would be built east of the high school and just south of Hillcrest Elementary School, according to the presentation made by the construction manager, architects and educational planner retained by the district, all part of recommendations from the ad hoc facility committee. Improvements to the middle and high schools would include security measures involving those schools' front entrances.
There would also be upgrades to the grounds surrounding the buildings, tying in the recently completed "Safe Routes to Schools" network with new accesses, adding recreation fields and new parking areas, separating bus loading zones from public drop-off/pick-ups, introducing new drainage sites and relocating the school bus garage.
Committee members, who began meeting in May of last year, heard about district facilities being examined for maintenance priorities and educational adequacy needs, the board was told. During the process, it was concluded the two existing elementary schools have an abundance of needs per square foot, placing them at the forefront.
Seven options for addressing them were considered, ranging from renovation as well as additions for either or both to one new structure on various sites around the high school-middle school complex, with the aforementioned location ultimately preferred, it was said. The two-story configuration was chosen because the 108,000 square feet said to be necessary would be too "spread out" if all on one level.
As planned, the new elementary building would house kindergarten through second grades on the lower floor and third through fifth grades on the upper floor, it was said. There would be "pods" for the various groups of grades, each containing bathrooms, lockers and a common room where projects by several of the classes could be undertaken. This is felt to make the transition from elementary to middle school easier for students because the latter already incorporates the pod format.
The new elementary school would also house the district's early learning center, home to the 4YK program, and administration offices presently inside the high school, it was said. The EHS space presently dedicated to administration would be converted into a community room for public use. Hillcrest Elementary School would be torn down and other elementary-related facilities owned by the district likely sold.
Due to the move of the fifth grade back to an elementary facility from the middle school, the latter would resume a more ideal ratio of square footage per student as intended when it was built in the mid-1990s, it was said. Another advantage to the proposal emphasized was a "six-figure" savings in busing costs, as double routes would no longer operate--all students (regardless of age) would be transported to the Ellsworth campus once in the morning and away from there in the evening.
Regarding security at EHS and EMS, better visibility from their respective offices to their main entrances would be achieved, it was said. At the former, front doors would be shifted inward, the main office opened up and an elevator equipment room presently blocking line-of-sight moved to be adjacent to the elevator. At the latter, a larger covered vestibule would be built on the front and the office opened up, taking advantage of space presently occupied by a concession stand.
The tax impact of the favored plan on a $100,000 property has been placed at $127 per year, figuring a 20-year borrowing schedule and an interest rate intentionally set high to be conservative at 4.75 percent. Superintendent Barry Cain said the timing of the project is important when recognizing a lot of the district's existing debt load is expiring right now.
In addition to this facilities referendum envisioned for next February's primary election, another referendum to exceed the district's revenue cap was briefly discussed. Present authorization to exceed that cap for the past three years will end and school officials plan to seek new authority from residents for three more years of up to $800,000 annually on a non-recurring basis, Cain said.
Among the next steps toward making the proposal a reality is developing a suggested communications plan for the public.

I don't know about you, but the range of choices to book flights is never ending. Sometimes overwhelming. I've used them all. Kayak, Momondo, FlightFox and Expedia.
On this site, I try to bring to light services that have benefited me as I hop the globe.
While those other booking sites get plenty of press, today I'd like to introduce a site that you may not know about. Vayama.
Vayama is a relatively young company, only four years old, but is fast becoming prevalent in offering a range of airlines and prices to suit anyone's budget.
Flying is not my first choice of transportation, but in order to cross continents it has to be done. For me, I'd rather it be a painless experience than a complete hassle.
Vayama is an easy tool to use. Hot dang!
Type in your parameters in the search window:
I personally like the layout of their search results page. At the top is a clear list of airlines with prices in a neat row and as you scroll down each airline is presented in more detail with an option to select a flight:
One thing that is bold and shows Vayama's confidence in their prices is offering a price comparison to other online booking sites like CheapOAir or Travelocity, right on the same page!
One last aspect that is user friendly about Vayama is once you've selected a flight, instead of punting you to another browser window that can load slower than you'd like, the selection appears in the same window and you can fill in your personal information and continue with the purchase.
I'm also a faithful user of Momondo, knowing that they aggregate online booking sites and don't act as a booking site themselves, which is understandable, yet at times the extra browser window makes me lose patience.
Yes, that's how much I need my airline searches to be smooth and accessible. I'm also a whiny prat when it comes to airline travel.
Somewhere in my foggy memory I remember using Vayama a couple of times to research flights and was always impressed with their results. Thus I sought them out to partner with Girls Running With Bulls.
Vayama is taking me to London this Monday where I'll chomp on curry with some writer and blogger friends. Perhaps even do some shopping at Oxford Circus. Some of the products I adore are nowhere to be found in China. My product bag is a desert replete with tumbleweeds and vultures. This girl needs to stock up!
This may sound silly, but I'm a sharer. When I discover a new tool and think it's useful to others, I just have to tell everyone. So I'm glad to share what Vayama does, thankful to be partnering with them and hope it eases your travel planning.
Though, I only share hugs with a certain selection of people. Just warning you.
Try out Vayama through their website or catch their tweets where they post flight deals and fun things like travel photos. Or like them on Facebook.

WARATAHS halfback Brendan McKibbin was delighted to see last year's Super Rugby finalists under pressure and ''blowing'' despite his side's 37-33 loss in Sydney last night.
The 26-year-old, who continued to prove he is worthy of the starting halfback spot with another commanding performance and perfect kicking game against the Crusaders, said the home side's ability to make their opponents fight hard for the win was a good sign for the remainder of the Waratahs' season.
''It was pleasing the amount of effort that was there, that we showed,'' McKibbin said.
''In the first half we probably left a few opportunities out there, left a few points out there, which was a bit disappointing. But we went into the break confident, we could see that they were struggling. We were blowing as well but we really had them under the pump and I thought some decisions that we made to put pressure on them were outstanding.''
Defensive ''slip-ups'' from, among others, centre Tom Carter and replacement winger Atieli Pakalani cost the side. But McKibbin said those errors could be fixed.
''We spread the field pretty well from our defence,'' he said. ''There was a couple of really good things the Crusaders did individually and there were a couple of slip-ups from us as a unit and that's disappointing but the effort was there.''
Pakalani, who scored the Waratahs' first try, and Peter Betham were brought into the starting XV in the absence through suspension of centre Rob Horne and fullback Bernard Foley, who is injured.
McKibbin praised his teammates for hitting the ground running.
''We stuck to policy very well. There was those couple of defensive errors that probably cost us in the end but I thought those guys coming into the side were exceptional.''
McKibbin was a standout performer in the losing side, making two line breaks and several runs when he spotted space. But the Eastern Suburbs halfback said he was profiting off the hard work of his teammates.
''Some of the ball carries there from our forwards were really good, the chat outside me was outstanding and when you have threats both sides of the ruck there's got to be space somewhere and I was lucky enough to spot a couple of holes.''

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Jun. 19)
U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, who ordered the withdrawal of the U.N. Emergency Force troops from the Gaza area and Egyptian territory at the request of President Nasser of Egypt — without consulting either the General Assembly or the Security Council — was silent today on the document published in the organ of the American Society of International Law indicating that the withdrawal of the UNEF troops could have been postponed or prevented.
The Egyptian delegation at the United Nations issued a statement today declaring that "at no time was the Government of Egypt, later the United Arab Republic, aware of the existence of the so-called memorandum by the late Mr. Hammarskjold of August 5, 1957; and consequently such a paper would have no legal or political binding on the Government of the United Arab Republic."
The delegation's statement declared that Egypt's position regarding the establishment, functions and continuation of UNEF "has always been well-known." The delegation stated that Egypt's position regarding unef was regulated by an agreement the Egyptian Government had signed with the late Mr. Hammarskjold and that "this position was most clearly and formally expressed in the General Assembly, maintaining the entirety of Egypt's rights."

Corfu Achilleion Palace Excursion Reviews
Since I wasn't up to two days in a row of wandering about, I booked a tour. We did the Achilleion Place, Perama and Old Town. The whole town was crazy crowded. My daughters loved the palace and while on the tour it was packed, we had time before we had to board the bus to go back through the rooms and gardens and look closer. As we did the island tour, the streets were crowded so the bus lumbered on. We passed Mouse Island but the bus couldn't or wouldn't stop for us to take photos. The bus had to stop and wait for a plane to take off (the runways are very close to the road). By the time we got to Corfu Town, we didn't have much time left to explore so we walked about and in/out of shops. Another family toured the fort that was there (it costs a few euros).
a sure way to avoid difficulties to find the palace and overall crowds.
I had chosen a different shore excursion but my friend wanted this one, the palace was ok. There were so many tours there our tour guide seemed to get flustered with all the people there and I thought she wasn't the best tour guide to be honest. We didn't stop for the photo op of Mouse Island they just slowed down. The dowtown part was nice, we left the tour a little early and did our own shopping then took the shuttle bus back.

I love to laugh. I am on a constant prowl for an excuse to laugh. I love laughing with people. Moments of pure joy shared with all beings - loved ones, little critter friends, or those I might be encountering briefly for the first time in this life - are dearer to me than anything of material value.
I love to play. Whether creating and moving with sound; exploring the wonders of intimate love with a partner; being immersed in the unbridled excitement of relating to a child; or chasing a little yellow tennis ball with great enthusiasm, life is always playtime.
I am passionate about truth, about being an expression of my truth in every moment. My current dream sojourn as an earthly wanderer seems such a wonderful opportunity for loving and being...at times so brief...at times so infinite.
I love women. Whether as a mother, as friends, or as lovers, the incredible role women have played in my life and my development as a person, continues to be absolutely humbling.
Movies - So many. I LOVE MOVIES! Off the top of my head - Being There, Dumb and Dumber, The Matrix, The Big Lebowski, Forrest Gump, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, The Princess Bride, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Moonrise Kingdom (actually most things Wes Anderson does), Miyazaki's worlds & characters,...
Music - Fat Freddy's Drop, Andrew Bird, Parov Stelar, Flight Facilities, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Nujabes, Downtempo, Classical, Liquid D'n'B, Instrumental & Jazzy Hip-Hop, Reggae...
Food - Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Pasta, anything with lots of vegetables, and Ice Cream

New Poster For I, Frankenstein
Aaron Eckhart's Adam does the gargoyle perch thing
Without that all-important comma, you might be fooled into thinking that I, Frankenstein represents Apple's latest and most terrifying creation - or at least most terrifying until they introduce the next upgrade... But in fact this is the work of director Stuart Beattie and Underworld co-creator Kevin Grevioux, and the new poster has now arrived online.
Aaron Eckhart stars as Adam, Frankenstein's monstrous (well, not quite so monstrous in this incarnation) creation who has survived two centuries of fear and persecution only to arrive into a dystopian vision of our present day, one where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power. He's caught in the middle of the struggle as both sides war to discover the secret to his immortality. They're going to be mightily miffed when they discover it's diet, exercise and an audiobook series.
Eckhart leads a cast that also includes Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Socratis Otto, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey and Aden Young in a film Beattie adapted from Grevioux's graphic novel. It'll hit our screens on January 24.

Style: 38192985 Color Code:
Off-the-shoulder cropped cami featuring a flouncy ruffle overlay at the neckline. Stretch cotton-blend fabric with ribbed texture.
Pretty, but the fit
I wanted to love this top, but when I tried it on, the top just did not fit me at all. At first I thought it was a defect because it seriously looked like someone had tried it on and stretched out the top off-the-shoulder area. It looked floppy and wouldn't hug my body at all. The length was fine, it runs a little short for my liking. It's snug too, but I was not expecting the top to be that big for a small. Definitely get a XS/size down if you're petite. I'm unsure what the XS would be like, if it's shorter in length and much more snug...
Cute, but sleeves fall down
I like this top, I really do...but the darn sleeves won't stay put. I guess two sided body tape would work, but that just seems like a hassle for a shirt I'd wear to brunch. I'm keeping it, but will have to make some sort of adjustment to it -- maybe add little snaps so it clips to my bra. Also, this shirt is short in length. It's longer than a crop top, but shorter than a tshirt. The model in the grey must have the shirt barely tucked in. I like the length, but wanted to give girls with a longer torso a far warning.
If you have smaller boobs, size down.
I ordered this in a S, but I feel like I should have gotten an XS. I like the way it fits on my torso, but the top just falls down if I wear it as an off-the shoulder shirt. I'm not sure if I'm going to try to exchange it for a small or just take in the top part myself. There are two seams on each side of the shirt that'll make it easy to do that. Overall, cute shirt.

Extreme Pics:Kelly Rowland Wardrobe Malfunction -Do Only Black Girls Have Nipple Slips?
Story by Michael Goins -This past weekend, something incredible happened. Two of R&B's top entertainers had massive wardrobe malfunctions. You've heard about Nicki Minaj. New to the "NOC", which I call the "Nipple Outing Club" is Kelly Rowland who also had a nipple slip this weekend. Rowland's nipple slip went to the extreme in that it was a full blown "Damn Girl"!.
With the multitude of nipple slips happening in the entertainment world recently amongst black female entertainers, the question has to be asked? Do only black girls have "Nipple Slips"? Nicki Minaj and Kelly Rowland within a two day period is enough to make any man blush. Of course, the answer is no. Nipple slips have been happening forever, especially in sports. Especially in Gymnastics, Swimming and Diving and Track and Field. Don't believe me, click this link. Many celebrities have had their nipple slip moments including near misses from Halle Berry and Jessica Simpson.
Is it the "Underwear As Outerwear" craze made popular by Rihanna and Beyonce that is contributing to this rash of bare "breasteses"? Of course, a nipple slip is a lot different from the celebrities that wear peek-a-boo tops such as Cher, Rihanna and others. For most artists, nipple slips are just the cost of a good performance, and the chance that one of the "girls" may want to make an appearance is a chance they're willing to take.
I agree.. I look at it this way. Every profession has its "Wow" factor. Quarterbacks throw interceptions. Boxers get knocked out. Basketball players get dunked on. Race car drivers crash and Soccer players get kicked in the $@%'s. For black female entertainers, well, they have nipple slips. Who's next? In the meantime, here are the pics of Kelly Rowland.

UIQ: the Mobile OS You've Never Heard Of, But Will
SAN FRANCISCO -- What if you built a mobile OS and nobody came? That's been the sorry state of UIQ here in North America. UIQ is an offshoot of the Symbian smart phone OS with some fervent fans in Europe, but absolutely zero penetration here in the U.S.
Might that change? Motorola, UIQ and Sony Ericsson executives were frustratingly evasive on whether they'll bring more UIQ phones to the U.S. at a panel at the CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment trade show here Tuesday.
Last week, Motorola, North America's number-one mobile manufacturer, made a major investment in UIQ. The goal was to get access to the "ecosystem" of existing third-party UIQ software, Motorola vice president of software platforms Christy Wyatt said at the panel.
Motorola as a whole is moving away from older handset software such as the P2K platform on the original RAZR according to Wyatt, "they weren't operating systems, they were bunches of software that made hardware go" to three platforms that are much easier to develop for: the Linux-based MOTOMAGX, Windows Mobile and UIQ. Meanwhile, flavors of Symbian power more than half of the world's smartphones, though the OS is much less popular here in the US than it is abroad.
To get high-quality video playback, for instance, "you have to have DRM which comes from a third party, you have to have a codec which comes from a third party [and] there's a relatively seamless cross-porting ability which says that if you've done the work in Symbian with one UI, it's relatively easy to move it to another UI," Wyatt said.
UIQ has a few technical distinctions which make it an attractive platform, too, said Ulf Wretling, general manager of Sony Ericsson's developer program. For instance, the same third-party programs can run on both touch-screen and non-touch-screen devices without recoding. Wyatt mentioned an existing UIQ ecosystem of high-quality media applications for things like video playback. And it's much easier to get proprietary, carrier-branded services up and running on UIQ phones than on non-smartphones, Wretling said. That's a big deal for US carriers, who like to highly customize their handsets.
"There's really nothing technical preventing UIQ from going into [North America,]" Wyatt said. "When you're building a phone, there's a third layer that we often don't reference, this whole apps and branded services layer. If we don't have the AT&T branded services or the version branded services you're still not there. Once you do it the first time you can expect to see subsequent products thereafter."
Motorola may be committed to the UIQ platform, but they're not necessarily showing it in their handset lineup. Of all of Motorola's dozens of phones, only one, the Z8, runs on UIQ. (The Z8 isn't available in the US.) Sony Ericsson, on the other hand, has been using UIQ as their main smart phone OS for years. That hasn't helped Sony Ericsson get those UIQ phones into US consumers' hands, but the Motorola investment could provide a boost.
"Having more licensees of UIQ will definitely help," Wretling said. "There will be a wider selection of UIQ phones for carriers to look into, and typically carriers want a number of phones in a group."
UIQ welcomes other manufacturers to join the bandwagon, too, the execs said.
"We made an open invitation to any manufacturer who wants to invest in or license UIQ," Wyatt said.

Despite making history as many times as they did this season, having a Stanley Cup under their belt, and makings it the Finals for the second time in three season, the players still remain humble, even though the odds point in the favor for the 2014 Stanley Cup Championship.
Predictors, odds men, statisticians, hockey enthusiasts, media, fans, and etc; have predicted the kings winning, but the players, it doesn't matter for them. They remain, focused, ready to work hard, and earn their win.
Here's what the players said during media day. Quotes courtesy of Jon Rosen of lakingsinsider.com.
"It's the Stanley Cup Finals. I don't think any team is going to look at themselves as the underdogs. You're down to two teams, and you want to win, and that's all it really comes down to. It's an exciting time of the year to be a part of it. I really don't care about what the odds say or what you guys are saying about who's favored and who's not." – Matt Greene
"I mean, they've obviously done some good things to get here, too. We've got to just come out and play our game and not worry about that kind of stuff." – Trevor Lewis
"We're just not looking at it that way. It doesn't matter for us. Obviously they're doing some really good things to be in this position. Both teams have done it, but now it's about to take the next step and get it done."- Anze Kopitar
"I don't know if we're the favorites. They've got a pretty good team over there, too. It's a huge challenge for us here. We know what we're up against, and we're going to have to leave it all out there." – Jeff Carter
"Everyone's zero-zero. As players, we don't have too much concern over who's the underdog and who's the favorite. It's just about going out and playing. I think you guys have more to say about that. Just because one team's an underdog, it doesn't mean they're going to play any better if they were the favorite. It is what it is. We'll let you guys chatter about that." – Mike RichardsTags: Hockey, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Kings, NHL
