No. 7 Minnesota overcame a pair of power-play goals and five penalties late in the second period as Jerrid Reinholz's goal with two minutes, 57 seconds to play in the third period gave the Gophers a 2-2 tie with No. 15 Minnesota State at Mariucci Arena.
The Gophers (12-6-6, 7-4-4 WCHA), who outshot their guests 36-21, outplayed the Mavericks (10-7-7, 8-5-5) for the first 30 minutes of the game. However, when the game got feisty, Minnesota lost its focus.
"We lost our composure there in the second period," Gopher head coach Don Lucia said. "We've got to keep our discipline and worry about the things we can control and how disciplined we're going to be."
"I was a little surprised at how many penalties there were," MSU coach Troy Jutting said of the 19-penalty second period. "That's not to say they weren't penalties, it's just surprising to have that many penalties. We're both skating teams and there was just one penalty in the first period and three in the third."
A battle around the Minnesota State goal at 12:27 of the second period resulted in seven of them, putting the Gophers on the power play. However, they managed just one shot before Tyler Hirsch took a penalty for slashing the goalie with one second left in the man advantage, setting off a string of six more infractions, five on the hosts.
The series of penalties resulted in three Minnesota players in the penalty box at one time and, with 1:15 remaining in the period, B.J. Abel's slapshot from the top of the right circle found the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1.
The Gophers were still down two men after the goal and it took the Mavericks less than a minute to take the lead as Cole Bassett's shot from the low slot was tipped into the air and behind Minnesota goalie Travis Weber.
Although they weren't happy with the situation, the Gophers regained their composure and continued their dominance in the final period, outshooting MSU 18-4 while attempting 32 shots to the Mavericks' five.
Netminder Jon Volp kept Minnesota State in the game, finishing the game with 34 saves, but he was unable to give his team a win when Reinholz scored his third goal of the season.
"(Jon) Waibel threw it out front of the net," he said. "I managed to get a stick on it, somehow, and the next thing I knew it was in the back of the net."
The most positive note for the Gophers was the return of captain Grant Potulny, absent from the lineup for three months after breaking his ankle in the first game of the season.
The MVP of last year's Frozen Four assisted on Troy Riddle's goal at 14:36 of the first period, a snap shot from the right circle over Volp's shoulder, and didn't seem to miss a step after missing 22 games.
"It felt great to be out there," he said. "Especially with the support of my teammates and the fans. With everyone behind, it was a lot easier and it's always nice to get on the scoresheet."
Despite the Gophers' dominance throughout much of the game, Minnesota State ran its unbeaten streak to 10 games, six of which have gone to overtime; in seven of those games, the Mavericks have given up the game's first goal.
Still, Jutting realized his team was fortunate to come away with a tie.
"We did not have it tonight," he said. "I thought Minnesota did a great job and really took it to us in the first period. We didn't have the jump in our step that we normally do."
Nonetheless, the point kept the Mavericks four points ahead of the Gophers, who have four games in hand, and three points ahead of fourth-place St. Cloud State, a 3-2 winner over Minnesota-Duluth.
The teams conclude their series with a matinee game Saturday afternoon at Mariucci Arena. The game, originally scheduled for 7:05 p.m., was moved up five hours to accommodate the Gophers' men's basketball game, a nationally-televised contest. The series finale gets underway at 2:05 p.m. CST.

BMW X5 Recalled
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today released a list of auto safety recalls announced in February 2001 and urged consumers to have the problems fixed promptly.
The list identifies the make and model of the vehicle or equipment involved, with a brief description of the safety problem.
NHTSA said it is publicizing the recalls to alert consumers about safety problems and encourages them to take action. Under federal law, safety problems must be remedied without cost to consumers. Currently, 72 percent of the owners of vehicles with safety problems have the recall work performed.
NHTSA said manufacturers are required to mail a recall notice to all purchasers, owners and dealers when a safety defect or noncompliance with federal safety standards is found. The agency urges owners to wait until they receive notification from the manufacturer before contacting their dealers to schedule the repair work. Not all vehicles of a particular make and model may be subject to the recall.
Consumers can get up-to-the-minute information on safety recall campaigns, or information on the recall history of a particular make and model of car, truck, motorcycle, or child safety seat, by calling the agency toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236), or by accessing NHTSA on the Internet at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov.. The Hotline also can be used to report safety problems. Bayerische Motoren Werke
Models: BMW X5 Year: 2001
Number Involved: 13,791
Dates of Manufacture: September 2000 - January 2001
Defect: During assembly of these sport utility vehicles, the lower end of the steering column spindle may not have been inserted completely into the coupling. In such a case, the fastening bolt used to secure the connection may not completely engage the spindle within the coupling. During driving, it would be possible for the spindle to disconnect, resulting in a loss of steering capability and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the spindle to ensure proper insertion in the coupling, and, if necessary, the spindle will be fully inserted and the fastening bolt replaced. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was to begin during March 2001. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.

Pittsburgh Ballet, Westmoreland Symphony toast success of joint presentation
Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre executive director Harris Ferris proposed a toast to George Balanchine on Friday after a triumphant collaboration with the Westmoreland Symphony Orchestra in the production of "Serenade."
"Serenade" premiered in 1934 and was the first ballet choreographed by Balanchine in the United States.
The ballet and symphony joined forces at Greensburg's Palace Theatre for the first time since the ballet launched its Westmoreland County initiative three years ago.
"Thank you for giving our company a chance to dance for you tonight," Ferris said at a reception after the show. "We want to come back, but it's up to you."
Terrence Orr, artistic director of the ballet, introduced the dancers, who had been mingling during the reception.
"We can think of programs like crazy," Orr said. "We're here because of you."
Daniel Meyer, artistic director of the symphony, said there was a palpable energy between the dancers, himself and the orchestra, which made an exhilarating experience for all.
"The gasps that came out of the audience when the curtain opened," Meyer said. "That alone for me, was worth the price of admission."
Seen: Terry and Debbie Reese, Aimee Waeltz, Nichole Gantshar, Kathy Hollahan, Dr. George andLinda Austin, Dennis and Kathy Rafferty, Mud and Phyllis Kluska, Anita Manoli, Jill Briercheck, Sean Cassidy and Gina Sciarrino, Chuck and Nancy Anderson, Susan Ciarimboli, Roxanne Fontanesi, Pat Condo and Jan Taylor Condo, Barbara Ferrier and Eleanor Tornblom, with the Laurel Ballet.

Price is right as Wesko wins Luhmühlen 4*
New Zealand's Tim Price has won his first CCI4*, taking out Germany's Luhmühlen International Horse Trials at the weekend on Wesko.
Price was the only competitor to finish on his dressage score, of 43.8, in a thrillingly tight finale to the DHL Paket sponsored event, the fifth and penultimate leg of the FEI Classics 2013/2014.
Cross-country leader Michael Jung (GER) looked the picture of concentration as he had fischerRocana FST jumping on springs, but a groan from the crowd signalled that a pole had fallen – the first part of the double at 12a – and that it was not to be a German victory.
Price was evidently thrilled to win, but he was quick to acknowledge the host nation in a gracious acceptance speech, in which he dedicated his victory to the young German rider Benjamin Winter (GER), who died as the result of a fall on the cross-country on Saturday.
"I would like to dedicate this win to Benjamin. It was a very sad day yesterday," he said.
Price also thanked the event's organisers "for making us all so welcome. I first came here as a visitor eight years ago and I've been waiting ever since to ride here."
He also thanks his support crew, including wife Jonelle, who was also competing at Luhmühlen "Full credit to my horse, Jonelle and our team who keep everything organised which allowed me to achieve this," he said.
It was his first start at Luhmühlen and something he had looked forward to for a long time.
The only other four star start for Wesko was at Badminton, where the two parted company at the water.
"I had a real need to right that ship. There was the added pressure of it being world champs year too, and there is so much hinging on a big solid result."
Instead of a lap of honour, the leading riders, all wearing black armbands in honour of Winter, were escorted quietly from the arena.
Boyd Martin (USA) proved to selectors that he is fully recovered after breaking his leg in the spring by finishing in with third place on new ride Shamwari 4 and 15th on Otis Barbotière.
Martin picked up just one time penalty to rise four places from seventh on Shamwari 4. This exciting prospect was bought from Swedish rider Ludwig Svennerstal by a syndicate during the winter, but this was Martin's first opportunity to try out the horse at an international competition.
Oliver Townend (GBR) hit fence 10 on the 13-year-old Black Tie, but he remained in fourth place and left the ring with a broad smile on his face.
Indeed Townend has plenty to smile about: this was the second time this year that he has been the highest-placed British rider at a CCI4*, having finished as runner-up at Badminton on Armada. As a result, he has now leapt into second place in the FEI Classics, just 10 points behind William Fox-Pitt (GBR), which means that the series will go right to the wire at Burghley in September.
Elaine Pen (NED) must be delighted with her first CCI4* performance. She rose three places to fifth on her former Young Rider horse Vira with just one rail down.
A four-fault round was good enough to move Andreas Ostholt (GER) and So Is Et up five places to sixth, while the USA's Phillip Dutton (Mighty Nice, seventh), Germany's Bettina Hoy (Designer 10, eighth) and Australia's Bill Levett (Improvise, ninth) all dropped down the order with three rails down each.
Promising Belgian rider Lara de Liedekerke, riding Quella Langonnaise, enjoyed her second 10th placing at CCI4* level this year, following an excellent Badminton debut.
Jonelle Price was the best placed of the other New Zealand eventers, placing 12th on Classic Moet with 70.5 penalty points, and 16th aboard The Deputy on 74.5. Mark Todd and Oloa were 21st with 81.4, Kate Wood and Easy Tiger were 27th on 96.3.
Wesko a former showjumper
Tim Price found Wesko "by chance at the end of a long, cold day" in a jumping yard where he was being competed by British rider Siobhan Edmonds. Price said he had turned to eventing like a "duck to water".
"Everything comes quite easily to him – I wish I had 10 more like him!"
The white-faced bay gelding proved "flawless" in his early eventing competitions and went on to win twice at three-star level, at Blair Castle (GBR) CCI3* last year and at Tattersalls (IRE) CIC3* a fortnight ago. The pair contested Badminton, but took an early ducking in the Lake.
Owned by the Wesko Syndicate, the 11-year-old Dutch-bred gelding is by Karandasj, and out of Kolien, who is by the thoroughbred stallion Mytens, a son of Spectacular Bid.
"I'm thrilled for my horse. This is his first four-star completion, and my first visit here, and I certainly didn't expect to be standing here as the winner," he said.
It was not all smooth sailing, though, as Price had an agonising four hour wait while it was reviewed whether he had missed a flag on a skinny brush in the main arena.
"They couldn't review it until the class had finished, so I was on the edge of my seat for a while there," he said.
The win was also a celebration of a lot of hard work. "It is a long old road from starting in New Zealand, coming over here with nothing, working out how to make a living out of what we do and to get the quality of horses we need to achieve these sorts of things. Now to have that realisation it is possible to have a four-star win … it hasn't properly sunk in yet."
New Zealand has provided the winners of eight CCI4*s since Mark Todd set the ball rolling at Badminton in 2011. Now this tiny country with such a huge legacy of horsemanship has another hero to salute.
About the winner
Tim Price, 35, grew up on a farm near Canterbury in New Zealand's South Island and began his riding career in jumping, up to FEI World Cup level, before deciding that most of his horses were better suited to eventing.
He paid for his first trip to the UK by selling a good horse, Vortex; they were later reunited and competed at CCI4* level together, finishing 20th at both Badminton and Pau in 2009.
This year he was ninth at Badminton on Ringwood Sky Boy and a member of the winning New Zealand team in the FEI Nations Cup at Houghton (GBR). He also won the CIC3* at Tattersalls in Ireland and the CCI3* at Blair Castle last year.
He is now based in Wiltshire in the UK with Jonelle (nee Richards), another South Islander, and a yard full of horses; Jonelle was a member of New Zealand's bronze medal team at the London 2012 Olympic Games and finished 12th (Classic Moet) and 16th (The Deputy) at Luhmühlen.
• A brilliant clear round by Andrew Hoy and Cheeky Calimbo earned the pair this year's Meßmer Trophy for the CCI3*.
The Australian had led after the cross country and headed off a class field of German riders, with Ingrid Klimke second on FRH Escada JS, and Andreas Ostholt third on Pennsylvania. the next placings went to Peter Thomsen on Horseware's Barny (42.90) and Claas Hermann Romeike with Cato (46.00).
After his win Hoy said: "First of all I would like to thank the brilliant team behind this event for organising this wonderful competition each year. We are all still in shock and upset for the terrible loss of Benjamin and we are all thinking of his family at these sad times. Ben loved the sport and his horses and so do we."
The German Championship title was suspended this year in consideration of Benjamin Winter.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Chrissy's Blue Ridge Oopah Burgers
I love Greek food! Feta cheese is my favorite and I'm a garlic fanatic, so I wanted to add a Greek/Italian zest to my burgers.
4 lbs. of thawed ground beef
2 cups of crumbled Feta cheese
1 med. sweet onion
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 cup of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of basil
2 tablespoons of oregano
6 large burger buns
4 ounce package of roasted garlic hummus spread
2 cups of sliced black olives
Cover the grill with tinfoil and poke holes for the grease to drain. Heat the grill to a medium flame. Place the ground beef in a large bowl and fold in the Feta cheese. Finely chop onion and add to the burger mix. In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, basil and oregano. Pour into burger mix. Slide on a pair of plastic gloves and knead ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Press into 'THICK' patties and grill for 30 minutes, or until burger centers are no longer pink. Lightly toast buns on warm grill for approximately 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of garlic hummus across the insides of the toasted hamburger buns. Add burgers and top the meat with sliced black olives.
Serves 6 to 8.
This tangy burger is perfect with a side dish of spaghetti or creamy spinach Lasagna. Bite into this juicy Greek inspired burger and shout 'Oopah!'.

Cantieri di Pisa's Kaitos
76— By Richard Thiel —
February 2004
Talk of the Show
|A Matter of Degrees
You could spend a lot of time learning to drive the Kaitos. Not in harbor, where she maneuvers as well as any long, thin, shallow-draft speed machine and better than some. There's certainly no shortage of power. With the Arnesons trimmed down, each gear engagement is a memorable event, so the skipper of our boat had taken to maneuvering with them trimmed up to give the props less bite and himself more thinking time. The bow thruster, he said, was an absolute essential in any crosswind.
It's out at sea that you'll want to do your homework, specifically between about 1300 and 1700 rpm. In this rev band things happen fast. If you're not paying attention, pretty soon the boat is about a quarter-mile ahead of your "decision loop," as fighter pilots say, and even before she reaches top speed, you're thinking about when she's going to slow down so you can catch up.
Everything depends on drive trim. From rest, she responds best with the Arnesons down, but be prepared to lift them almost immediately. If they're still down at 1400 rpm, she'll be doing about 20 knots and not happy about it. Lift them a little, and within seconds she's at 30 knots. Give the throttles another careful push, and acceleration is steady through to the upper 30s. Experiment with the Arnesons; the slightest dab of the joystick—half a degree of trim—can make a three-knot difference. Then at 1600 rpm the second set of turbos kicks in. Forty knots has come and gone, then 45, then 50, and she's still accelerating. Try raising the Arnesons again. It doesn't help that the joysticks and throttles bracket the wheel. You need a good grip on the wheel at these speeds, and you certainly don't want to be changing hands often.
Once you get your breath back, you can take stock. Visibility is pretty good; only the thick bases of those corner mullions get in the way, and then only on the high side in steep turns. Handling is quite good: light steering and the sort of high-speed agility you associate with muscle boats half this weight. Hull sections are not especially deep, but the fine stem flattened the slight chop off Monaco with little fuss. Once you've mastered the subtleties of trim—and it will take a while—you'll find good cruising at around 40 knots and 1650 rpm, with the second set of turbochargers just in play and the Arnesons trimmed out. For more relaxation or efficiency, try 1450 rpm and 31 to 32 knots, with the Arnesons down but, alas, no roostertail. —Alan Harper

Chennai, Sep 24 (ANI): President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday called upon the film industry to create cinema which contributes to social transformation and moral upliftment.
President Mukherjee, who was speaking on the occasion Centenary celebrations of Indian Cinema organized by Government of Tamil Nadu and South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce at Chennai, said cinema is a popular and powerful medium of communication.
"The number of cine goers in country is very large. It is therefore essential to strike a balance between entertainment and social responsibility of this medium. The recent incidents of crime against women and children have shaken the conscience of the nation," President Mukherjee said.
"We have also been witness to tragic communal riots in some parts of our country recently. We must find ways to reverse the erosion of our values," he added.
President Mukherjee said cinema can and must play a role in resetting the moral compass of the nation.
"It is the responsibility of everyone associated with the film industry to use the powerful medium of cinema to portray our positive societal values for building a tolerant and harmonious India," he added.
He called upon the entertainment industry to be mindful and sensitive to this responsibility and take all steps to create cinema that contributes to social transformation and moral upliftment. (ANI)

What Is TIDAL? Jay Z's New Music Service Gets Help From High-Profile Friends
Jay Z's new music streaming site, TIDAL, is getting a huge boost from some big-name celebrities.
Jay Z's new music streaming site, TIDAL, is getting a huge boost from some big-name celebrities.
So Beyonce chopped off all her hair, took a selfie and put it on Instagram -- we think there's something a little funny about it. Although Beyonce looks great with short hair (of course she does), we couldn't help thinking that maybe ... just maybe ... if she loses her temper her family better watch out. See what we mean below.
This photo from Beyonce's Mrs. Carter Show World Tour is so incredibly amazing. Look at that fan. Ridiculous. A face so amazing deserves some attention, so we decided to imagine what other things could cause such a reaction. The results are pretty great.
The term "idiot" seems like an understatement. Don't get us wrong, we've all thought about it. But come on...
For those of you who watched the Beyonce concert last Sunday, AKA the Super Bowl halftime show, you know that Beyonce's performance was unbelievable. She was fierce; she was intense, and then Destiny's Child showed up! But she messed up when her publicist requested unflattering photos of her be removed from the internet.
We all know Beyonce was amazing during the Super Bowl halftime show. And all know that in the heat of the moment, we sometimes make faces that aren't exactly flattering...
Beyonce blew us all away (and the electricity as well) at the Super Bowl halftime show tonight. Already, GIF artisans from all over the internet are hard at work documenting every breath, bump, and bootylicious beat. Here are some of the best so far! (And of course, we save the best for last.)
Beyonce decided that the time to address whether or not she was lip-syncing the national anthem at the presidential inauguration is now. You know, when everybody's already forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.
Today Beyonce tackled a singer's most challenging assignment, not only singing 'The Star Spangled Banner,' but doing it live at a Presidential inauguration ceremony.
PSY is, of course, currently incredibly obscure in America. But we think that his "cover dance" of a Beyonce pop hit might just break him through, maybe get him on Ellen.
In this amazing clip, a man recreates Beyonce's video for 'Countdown' shot-for-shot while wearing a blue Snuggie. Why? If you've ever worn one, you wouldn't be asking that question.
In April, Ebony magazine published a handwritten note from Beyonce to Michelle Obama in which the singer expressed her admiration for the First Lady...

Why microfilm newspapers?
While the information contained in newspapers is a wonderful resource, the papers themselves were never meant to last for longer than it took to read them. To keep printing costs down, they are printed on very cheap, acidic paper that becomes yellow and brittle when exposed to light and air. They become very fragile and cannot stand much handling. So what's an archive to do?
Our solution is to microfilm the newspapers and discard the original papers. Properly stored microfilm can last much longer than paper, takes up much less space, and can survive excessive handling and viewing.
But there are some things microfilm is not good at. One of those is reproducing the gray shades in photographs in the papers. This is why the newspaper photographs usually appear very dark and hard to see.

Bubby trains Mac on the mechanics of riding a big-boy bike — Dec. 16, 2012
Today's question:
When did you last ride a bike?
Wow...can't believe that Mac is already on a big boy bike!!
Last time I tried to ride a bike I found out that bicycle seats are much smaller than they used to be :) That was about 15 years ago...
NonnieKelly: Oh, Mac is most certainly not yet on a big-boy bike. Bubby just got a new one for his birthday so that one awaits Mac being able to graduate from the trike (which he's not yet figured out how to pedal), and Bubby likes to give him tastes of it now and then.
Too funny on the shrinking size of bicycle seats. I've noticed the very same thing! :-D
Mac's little dangling feet are so cute!
I got a new bike last spring, but put it away in November. I'm a fair weather bike rider.
Those brothers are so cute together!
Any bike riding I did was so far in the past (at least 50 years ago) that I've forgotten just when it was. It would be suicide to try it these days.
Such sweet pictures. Nothing like brotherly love but I just can't get over how quickly they are growing!
Now as for bike riding - do you see my big grin? The kids got me a bike for Christmas! I have been wanting one so badly so that Amara and I could ride together. Unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet but we are ready for it when it does! I can't wait!!! I am one very lucky Grandma!
Do stationary bikes count? If not, it's been at least a score of years. I'd love one of those recumbent bikes, but they cost a small fortune.
Love these! They both look so serious.....the little one definitely gets that this is Big Time Boy Stuff!
I keep my bike in Ventura to ride at the beach house.......such a bike friendly community and it gets me everywhere since we don't keep a car there anymore!
Cute pictures!! Last time I rode a bike was about ten years ago. Sadly.
There's nothing like a big brother to look after you. Sweet pictures. I rode this past fall with my grandkids.

Dan Pink was interviewed on stage during the event by Warren Etheredge and some of the highlights from my tweets last night included:
- "A good book is a basket of ideas that is refined and spread through conversation."
- People are more likely to donate blood for altruistic reasons than for cash. Offering people money moves things from the social realm to the economic realm and behaviors and expectations change. Same is true when you begin imposing a fine on parents picking their kids up late from day care instead of people feeling obligated to be there on time.
- There is great absurdity in how open source developed if you look at it in terms of economic motivation, but the mastery drive is so strong that people participated (even without an economic incentive).
- Even though biznik has an even male-female split, more women turn up for the in-person events than men.
- People who sculpt their jobs to broaden them beyond narrow responsibilities, find more autonomy and job satisfaction.
- "Annual performance reviews are dumb. People need more frequent feedback. Imagine professional athletes only getting feedback on their performance only once a year."
- The carrot-stick approach is the wrong approach when it comes to creative, thoughtful work – non-algorithmic work.
- Using the carrot-stick approach with teachers or students is wrong. Dan Pink's solution for the education problem would be to raise teacher base pay and make it easier to get rid of bad ones.

The Boston Red Sox have been in turmoil ever since long time manager Terry Francona was fired after last season. The Red Sox hired Bobby Valentine as their new manager, a completely opposite personality than Francona. While Francona was mostly quiet and mellow, Valentine was always outspoken and talkative to the media, and he plans every single word that comes out of his mouth. The players were not really big fans of Bobby Valentine, so somebody had to go; the players or the manager. The Red Sox decision; lose the players. They sent three all-stars, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, starting pitcher Josh Beckett, and outfielder Carl Crawford. For all three players, this is their third major league team of their careers. They are now all Los Angeles Dodgers. The Red Sox also sent Kevin Youkillis to the Chicago White Sox at the beginning of the season. Now it's safe to say that the Los Angeles Dodgers have the best team in baseball.
Terry Francona was under the gun, and he knew it. If he didn't take his ballclub deep into the playoffs, he knew he'd be looking for a new job. Francona had been coaching Boston for quite some time, and he wasn't looking to be done anytime soon. The Red Sox were used to Francona and his coaching style, and they liked him. He was a great manager, couldn't ask for anything more out of him. But, sadly for Francona, 2011 ended without a deep playoff run, and he was fired. Do I agree with it? No. Did Francona? Probably not. But Boston felt like it was time to make a change, and Terry Francona was taking them nowhere fast, so they gave him the boot and he was gone. But what they did wrong is brought in the complete opposite of Terry Francona; Bobby Valentine. Terry Francona was a personality Boston was accustomed to, and Valentine was not in the same ballpark. The Red Sox struggled most of the season. Youkillis changed Sox and put on the White Sox in Chicago not far into the season, and the day the White Sox were scheduled to play the White Sox, Bobby Valentine made comments about Youkillis, saying Youkillis hated him and never tried to like him. You see, it was PLANNED. The day Youk left, Bobby V probably made a mental note to make those comments that very day. Francona would have never imagined such a thing. This Boston team was lost, and apparently nobody was looking too hard to find them.
As you know, the players of the Boston Red Sox weren't too fond of Bobby Valentine, and to be honest, he didn't act like he was their biggest fan, either. So the Boston management had to fix this problem, which was bigger than when Francona was in the dugout every game. Players were complaining about Bobby V, players including Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, and Josh Beckett. So they either got rid of the unhappy players, or got rid of the manager nobody liked. The Red Sox picked the players. The Los Angeles Dodgers were building a supreme dream team. They already had Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and a superior pitching staff including Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley. They were having a great year, trading first place in the National League with the Washington Nationals a few times throughout the season. The Dodgers got Hanley Ramirez, Shane Victorino and Joe Blanton at the trade deadline, and that was enough for me to call them one of the best looking teams in the National League.
But the Dodgers weren't satisfied. No way. They wanted to be the best, number one, and they seen the Red Sox controversy as an opportunity to cash in and become number one. So they took advantage of the sale of the century and worked out the blockbuster deal. Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez all went down west to play in LA. It cost the Dodgers next to nothing for all these guys, just a little bit of cash and they had three more all-stars. In his first AB for the Dodgers, Adrian Gonzalez cranked one out over the right field wall at Dodger Stadium. That one was for you, Bobby V! That's just how it goes. How could this have been avoided? Simply kept Terry Francona, and the players would have stayed happy. Francona was a fine manager, I'd even go as far as to say he was pretty good. So now the Red Sox have a manager that their players don't like, and that never results in anything good on the field. Boston fans have to be hating life right now.

THE tower known as the Mole Antonelliana dominates the skyline of the northern Italian city of Turin like a rococo rocket ship ready to take off.
And soon it will, as the home of Europe's newest and most sophisticated museum devoted to worldwide cinema.
Begun in 1863 and rising to a precarious height of 548 feet, the spindly structure is as omnipresent in the ashtrays and paperweights of Turin's tourist shops as the Eiffel Tower is in Paris.
But since its completion in 1908, the massive building -- a ''mole'' (pronounced MO-leh) is the Italian equivalent of our Victorian ''pile'' -- has largely stood empty. It was commissioned by the Jewish community of Turin as a synagogue, but construction costs proved so high that the congregation was forced to cede the building to the city well before it was finished.
The architect Alessandro Antonelli increased the height of the signature spire without providing sufficient support below, which led to occasional topplings (in 1904, during construction, and 1953) and the necessity for interior concrete reinforcements. For half a century, the Mole has been a symbol without substance, a tourist attraction with nothing inside to see.Continue reading the main story
But three years ago, a collective inspiration settled on the members of Turin's city council. A short distance from the Mole stood one of Turin's other prized institutions, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema. The cinema museum's huge collection of films and artifacts had long since outgrown its cramped facilities, leaving much of its holdings hidden away in storage -- some occupying vaults in the city's historic cemetery.
Here was a collection without a museum and a museum without a collection, situated within shouting distance of each other. The solution seemed clear.
Scheduled to open in May, the new Museum of Cinema in the Mole Antonelliana is said to be the most complex restoration of a historical building ever undertaken in Italy. With a final price tag estimated at more than $11 million, the Mole has been renovated, re-engineered and restored to its original glories within and without, including some two miles worth of fresh gilding for the cupola's baroque interior.
The new exhibition space has been designed by Francois Confino, the Swiss architect whose work includes the popular ''Cites-Cines,'' temporary themed film expositions in Paris.
To maximize the tower's boxy interior space, Mr. Confino has erected a huge helical staircase hung from a single central cable; visitors can mount or descend, viewing exhibits along the way, much as they do in Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum in New York.
After passing through a ground floor area dedicated to a history of the Mole itself and temporary exhibits and video installations, the visitor enters a first-level space devoted to the museum's impressive hoard of pre-cinema material: the shadow-puppets, peep-shows, Victorian optical toys and magic lanterns that led up to the invention of the movies. There is a Chinese shadow theater dating from 1700, Giovanni Battista's monograph on the ''camera obscura'' -- the earliest methods of projecting images, dating from 1589 -- and a magnificent three-lens magic lantern, from the Victorian era, made of brass and polished wood.
One of the world's great collections of films and film paraphernalia, it was assembled by the museum's founder, Maria Driana Prolo, a celebrated eccentric who died in 1991 and who seems to have been every bit as blessedly mad as the notorious director of the Cinematheque Francaise, Henri Langlois. The museum's own publicity material describes her as ''unpredictable, bad tempered, but much loved,'' adding that she ''treated with bluntness, scorn and indifference those who did not believe in her dream'' -- her dream being to restore Turin's reputation as the birthplace of the Italian cinema, and not merely as the home of Fiat and candy manufacturing.
By 1907, Turin was headquarters to three of the five largest Italian production companies. One of them, Italia Film, was owned by a former accountant named Giovanni Pastrone, who in 1914 invested heavily in the production of a historical epic titled ''Cabiria.'' Festooned with the name of the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio (whose actual contributions to the scenario were restricted to writing the intertitles), the film became an international phenomenon and unquestionably influenced D. W. Griffith in the making of ''Birth of a Nation.'' Pastrone, who died in 1959, was a member of the museum's first board of directors, and the museum's principal scholarly goal remains the preservation and restoration of early Italian film, a program currently under the guidance of Stefano della Casa.
But Prolo, unlike the Cinematheque's Mr. Langlois, was less obsessed with hoarding prints than with acquiring the accessories of early cinema.
Objects and antiques were her specialties, not films,'' said Guilia D'Agnolo Vallan, a Turin native who is now the United States representative of the Venice Film Festival. ''She would go around and make purchases with her own money, and it was really just she who kept the collection intact.
''The first museum, which was located near the Royal Palace in the central square, was a really dingy setting, a tiny, dark place that looked like a cellar filled with a lot of stuff. She was a strange lady, and at first nobody took her seriously. The fact that the museum was eventually recognized as important was because people were coming in from the U.S. and Japan to use it.''
The cellar somehow managed to accommodate a mountain of material, including 5,000 films, 9,000 production sketches, 140,000 photographs, 150,000 posters and a 20,000 volume library. Among the treasures are the only seven known posters of ''Cabiria,'' including one signed by the master of Italian poster design, Leopoldo Metlicovitz; scene sketches by Charles Chaplin and Federico Fellini; and such iconic props as the Golden Calf from ''The Ten Commandments'' and the sword from ''Excalibur.''
THE pre-cinema collection leads into the great hall of the museum, an echoing space that will trace the various stages of filmmaking through individual exhibits installed in the vaulted partitions of the original building. ''The idea is to play with the fact that it is an old synagogue, so the concept is to build a temple of cinema,'' said Maria Grazia Girotto, the museum's communications director. ''In those spaces we will build 11 chapels dedicated to the greatest themes of the cinema. There will be a Chapel of Cabiria, of the False and the True, of Voyeurism, and so on.''
Or the visitor can lie back on the cushioned main floor and watch one of two giant film projections on the temple's ceiling, a ceiling that will occasionally open and, through the magic of special effects, reveal a starry sky or a towering magic lantern image.
''This is a museum made for the big public,'' said Ms. Girotto, ''not a place for people who know everything about movies.''
The risk with such a spectacle-based approach is that, once visitors have seen the basic installation, they'll have little reason to return -- a problem that proved fatal to the recently shuttered Museum of the Moving Image in London.
Ms. Girotto hopes that a planned rooftop video cafe will appeal to local residents and attract repeated visits. ''It will be a place where you can say, 'I would like to see that film from 1954,' I take a video and I drink a cup of coffee.'' A civilized notion, and with luck, a successful one.Continue reading the main story

Dear Editor,
I have read in the various print media of the outrageous statements made by head of the Privatisation Unit, Mr. Winston Brassington in defence of the hiring of Chinese workers instead of Guyanese workers for the Marriott Hotel Project.
Mr. Brassington has cited the language barrier and that Guyanese workers do not have the skills for that type of construction.
It appears that Mr. Brassington is not living in Guyana or he is not a Guyanese or he has no respect for the Guyanese work force.
Guyanese construction workers are well renowned for their expertise in Guyana, the Caribbean and North America. The previous Prime Minister of Barbados Mr. Owen Arthur publicly praised the Guyanese construction workers in Barbados. All the hotels, houses and large buildings in Guyana were built by Guyanese workers, some under the supervision of foreign professionals.
I cannot see why Mr. Brassington must ridicule the intelligence of the Guyanese nation by stating that Guyanese does not have the skills to work on the Marriott Hotel project. I smell a rat here because this whole Marriott Project is clouded with secrecy and controversies.
On January 28, 2013, the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada reported a similar situation in Canada.
A Chinese company, HD Mining Company had to send back sixteen temporary Chinese foreign workers to China who had been hired to work on the company's Murray River Coal Project in Vancouver saying a high- profile court case has resulted in too much uncertainty to keep the workers in Canada.
Two labour groups, that is, trade unions filed a court action challenging the work permits.
HD Mining has said it sought foreign workers because it was not able to find the skilled workers it needed in Canada. The labour groups have challenged those claims, saying the company didn't do enough to try to hire Canadian workers and advertised positions at lower than going rates.
The unions that brought the court case questioned the company's decision to send the workers back to China, saying the move followed a court order that resulted in HD Mining reluctantly agreeing to turn over résumés of Canadian workers who applied for, but didn't get, jobs at the Murray River project.
"The B.C. Building Trades questions why HD Mining would decide to pull out of its B.C. coal mine project just days after we received the résumés of 300 Canadian workers who were rejected for jobs that were then filled by Chinese temporary foreign workers," Brian Cochrane, business manager of IUOE Local 115 (one of the unions), said in a statement.
HD Mining agreed to supply the résumés after a Federal Court judge ordered Ms. Finley, who has responsibility for Temporary Foreign Workers in Canada to "further consider" her compliance with a court order to compel disclosure of documents – including résumés of Canadian workers – the unions had sought in court.
That case remains before the Federal Court.
In order to get work permits in most countries, the employer have to satisfy the authorities that the skills are not available in the country and when the foreign worker arrives he must train the local workers, that is, the skills must be transferred to the local workers but in the Marriott Case no skills would be transferred because there are no local employees.
Finally, trade unionism is a dying breed in Guyana and those unions that remain are like empty vessels making the most noise.
Yours faithfully,

I have removed Wysiwyg Version 2! from some of my Sites and replaced it with ckeditor.
The wysiwyg folder is left there because some other installed sites could use it in an multisite environment.
And now i get some incompatibility Warnings about Wysiwyg and an advice to update it from 1.0 to 2.0, even when there is no version 1.0 on the whole server and all versions installed to the database are removed.
I couldn't find an explanation for this in the Database.

Look for another instance of the wysiwyg module in your modules directory...I've had this happen once before where I had accidentally copied a module to another modules directory. Then it took a while to find out that it was "hidden".
hope this helps
Comment #2TwoD CreditAttribution: TwoD commented

Wysiwyg does not issue any warnings on its own about updating from one version or the other, and I don't think Ckeditor.module would do that either. The modules are incompatible and should only tell you that the other one needs to be uninstalled (patch in Wysiwyg's issue queue for that, now it just disables ckeditor.module on installation if enabled, which was considered bad UX.).
To see exactly where the active version of Wysiwyg lives, inspect the system table or run a query like:
SELECT filename FROM {system} WHERE name = 'wysiwyg';
Then remove that folder, flush your cache, uninstall wysiwyg if its tables are still there and you'll be fine.
Alternatively, remove the returned database row manually as well as any remaining {wysiwyg/wysiwyg_user} tables.
Comment #5TwoD CreditAttribution: TwoD commented
Did i say anything like that?
That was in response to
And now i get some incompatibility Warnings about Wysiwyg and an advice to update it from 1.0 to 2.0
and was simply saying I don't know where the messages could be coming from since none of the modules you mention print such messages. You didn't state where the incompatibility warning and update advice were shown, nor what the exact messages were, so I can't be completely sure though.
The Ckeditor module does look to see if Wysiwyg is installed to inform you about conflicts, but won't advice you to upgrade it, which is why I tried to rule that module out as the culprit.
If the messages are on the status page, they're not put there by Wysywig, and I don't think Ckeditor module does that either. It could indicate some module is incorrectly detecting Wysiwyg as installed (or at least not being the version it expects). You did not mention changing any other modules recently, so I ruled this out. There's a slight possibility a module providing plugins for Wysiwyg could put the message there since it no longer detects the version it relies on. Then you need to find out which of your installed modules are providing plugins to Wysiwyg and reconfigure/remove/replace them as well.
If it's the regular message you get when looking at the list of modules in need of upgrades, then this is very likely the case where an old version of the module has [also] been installed somewhere, other than where you expect it to be. This is one of the few cases in which I can offer direct advice without more info, since it would require Drupal core to still have an entry in the system table for Wysiwyg, and it's easy to fix.
If the path returned by the SQL query on any of the affected sites is not in sites/all/modules/wysiwyg (unless you still have a few sites which do use their own version of Wysiwyg), you do still have an old version in that location. The version shown in the table might no longer match the version of the module files actually used, if an older version was accidentally dropped into a location which Drupal happens to scan before it gets to the correct version. The only sure way of knowing if that happend is to check the path in that table.
You could alter the record to point to the actual location of the module, if you do want to use Wysiwyg on that site, otherwise simply remove it. If you already did, but it shows up again after clearing the cache, the old Wysiwyg files are still there.
I will not remove the folder. As i said I'm working on an multi site.
I'm not suggesting you remove sites/all/modules/wysiwyg, I'm suggesting you remove any other folder pointed to by the path returned by the SQL query on the problematic sites. That could very well be a subfolder within sites/all/modules/wysiwyg, like sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/wysiwyg, if one accidentally extracted the module inside itself. Or it could be a subfolder within a different module, present on one or more sites, so make sure the paths match exactly. I have no way of knowing what your filesystem looks like, so I can only make certain guesses here.
Didn't i mentioned that i HAVE uninstalled Wysiwyg?
Yes, but you still getting messages strongly implies it's still installed. Core won't put up messages for uninstalled modules, and Wysiwyg itself can't once it's been deactivated. If it's a message printed by Core, the module is still installed in a location where it shouldn't be. If it's not from Core, another module has a dodgy detection check somewhere and there's not much I can do about that.

Ok, thanks for that info. I'm assuming that's the same result on all the sites in this multi site installation?
Yes, that's Drupal Core thinking the old version is still installed, and because there's no longer any 7.x-1.x releases available on drupal.org, it says it's no longer supported.
