Centennial Update: Moving forward & preserving the past: The Centennial Campaign
By Donnie Stephens
The national Order of the Arrow committee hopes to leave a lasting mark on Scouting during the 2015 centennial celebration. Not only does the Order's leadership hope to inspire a new generation of servant leaders, but they also hope to also build permanent exhibits about the OA's history around the country at different key locations. To help make this a reality, the national committee has created the Centennial Campaign with the goal to raise over 1.2 million dollars by the end of 2015. During the silent phase of the campaign, the committee has raised over 600 thousand dollars toward that goal.
The campaign will fund the construction of OA exhibitions in the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas and at each of the BSA's four high adventure bases across the country.
The first aspect of this project is the expansion of the Order of the Arrow's archives to be housed in the museum located in Irving, Texas. The plans also include the creation of four new exhibitions within the museum that showcase the Order's history of youth leadership, the birthplace at Treasure Island Scout Reservation, the work of the Order's founders and pieces of art produced over the years to reflect the themes of our Order's founding principles.
The second project of this undertaking is the continuing preservation of the original ceremonial grounds. With the help of Unami Lodge and the Cradle of Liberty Council the original grounds were relocated from Treasure Island to the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Funds raised by the Centennial Campaign will ensure proper preservation of the lands that is appropriate for their historical significance. Leading the way to the new Summit Circle will be a new constructed national reflection trail. This trail will have 15 "columns of fire" housing the lodge rocks being donated for the 100th anniversary.
The third project is to expand the Order's presence beyond the National Scouting Museum and the Summit Bechtel Reserve to also include the three remaining national high adventure bases: Minnesota's Northern Tier, Florida Sea Base and Philmont Scout Ranch located in New Mexico. Since the inception of the Order's High Adventure program at Philmont Scout Ranch in 1995, there has been a desire to create a display in the ranch's Philmont Museum and Seton Memorial Library that spotlights the Order's connection and service to the outdoors. Similarly, displays will be created at Florida Sea Base and Northern Tier which affirm the Order's commitment to service and the outdoors in these unique destinations.
With such a monumental undertaking in the works, it becomes more important than ever that every able Arrowman, Scout, Scouter and friend lend a hand to preserve our past and protect our history for generations to come. Philanthropic contributions can be made specific to benefactors' areas of interest or through smaller gifts within this multi-pronged project, and the national Order of the Arrow committee is eager to discuss these opportunities with any interested donor. Information on contributing toward the Centennial Campaign can be found on the National Endowment Website, calling the Order of the Arrow office at 972-580-2455 or sending an e-mail to email@example.com.

Coach: Dave Peter
Age: 36
College: Martin Luther College (Minn.)
Overall record: 80-39-1 (11 seasons)
Record at school: 80-39-1 (11 seasons)
League: Agape
Division: 8-man, Division II (Enrollment: 84)
Section titles: 1992, 1998, 2000
Lowdown: After an impressive two-year run of going to the section finals and semifinals, Cal Lutheran returns just two starters on each side of the ball. But the C-Hawks have set a standard of success under Peter and former coach Dave Bartelt before him, and anything less than a semifinals appearance is a bit of a let-down. "We can't live in the past," Peter said, "and mope and be upset about guys who graduated. They're done, and that's just a fact of life." Peter lists Phillip Harrison , who saw some extended time at the end of last season, as his starting QB, but he may also rotate senior Noah Schriefer and junior Eric Romero. Schriefer may be the most talented runner of the trio and is slated to start at tailback. Defensively, 6-5 senior Joseph Shiery anchors the C-Hawks' line and Schriefer will patrol at LB. "Defense will be probably be the toughest place for us to adjust," said Peter, who graduated five starters on that side. The C-Hawks should again contend for the Agape title with returning league champ Excelsior Charter.

When the Senate voted earlier this month to formally apologize for slavery and racial segregation, it appeared to be consistent with other nonbinding, symbolic resolutions that lawmakers have passed before, apologizing for such things as the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
But a disclaimer saying that nothing in the resolution supports or authorizes reparations by the United States is causing dissension among several members of the Congressional Black Caucus and may prevent the two chambers from uniting on the measure.
"I would not want to have any language in place that would deny anyone, any citizen, the right to address a grievance," said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., head of the Caucus.
"I feel that some method other than just an apology should be made," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. "People should be made whole."
But other House Democrats say they don't oppose the disclaimer.
"I think it's just legal clarity that this doesn't provide a basis for reparations and the resolution we passed in the House, though it didn't have that provisions, was not passed as a basis for reparations either," said Rep. Steve Cohen who represents a majority black district in Tennessee and sponsored a House version passed last year.
President Obama isn't pressing for reparations language either. He said during the campaign that reparations are best paid in "good schools in the inner city" and jobs for the unemployed.
Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin first introduced the measure years ago but wanted it passed June 18 on the eve of Juneteenth -- a day of celebration commemorating the end of the Civil War and the release of African Americans from slavery. He said the House is to take it up soon and that a formal celebration will be held next month in the Capitol Rontunda.
But at this point, the two apology resolutions are just that: two separate resolutions. Democrats control both chambers but because the House does not seem eager to take up the Senate's version the resolutions may remain separate but not equal.
FOX News' Molly Henneberg and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tomorrow Always Knows
There's a conservative revolution under way--read all about it in The New Republic and The New York Times--and for the nation's political cartoonists, it must seem like both the best and worst of times. On the one hand, there are plenty of plump, slow-moving targets. On the other, with reality getting so damn weird, how can the lowly satirist keep up?
Full Frontal put that question to Brooklyn resident Dan Perkins, a.k.a. Tom Tomorrow, whose strip "This Modern World" appears in the Dallas Observer and in the neighborhood of 150 other newspapers. Perkins' work blends surreal, squeaky-clean images that hearken back to '50s-era magazine ads with wicked left-leaning commentary. "This Modern World" is "the sharpest strip currently going," according to the back cover of the 42-year-old Perkins' newly released collection of strips, The Great Big Book of Tomorrow. And it must be true, since book covers never ever lie.
In the book there's one strip concerning the Bushes that you repeated, replacing father with son, with each saying simply, "Good evening. Lies, lies, lies. Self-serving hypocritical rhetoric...etc." Do you see a lot of progress being made?
Kwik Buddha performs October 16 at Curtain Club.
Well, it has been a strange couple of years for me. The reason I repeated that one cartoon is to make a point, which is that I could practically be reusing a lot of work. It's not just the obvious stuff--the president named Bush and the war with Iraq. It's also the tanking economy and the cluelessness of the administration and the corruption of the administration and the oil industry ties and all of these things. It's really just quite odd.
Ever get the feeling you're dealing with people who are immune to satire?
The thing about that is when the target ever does see the cartoon, what tends to happen is they ask for an autographed copy. Senator John Kerry asked for a cartoon once in which I was effectively calling him an ineffectual wimp. I had to think about that one a little bit, but I eventually inscribed it "Please prove me wrong." I like to think that's hanging on his office wall where he sees it every day, but I don't know that it actually is.
Many of your strips deal with media criticism. You're obviously dissatisfied, but what would you like to see the media doing?
I would like to see the media doing their job and not spinning everything so fantastically in favor of the administration. I mean, the whole run-up to war there were no questions being asked. Here's a recent example. You have [MSNBC's] Chris Matthews saying what's the big deal about Arnold Schwarzenegger's unwanted sexual advances? Aren't they the same as Bill Clinton? Well, you know, actually they're not. Bill Clinton had consensual sex with an intern. Admittedly there's an imbalance in the power relation, and it's not a great thing, but it was consensual. Arnold was simply groping strange women. Conservatives like to whine about the liberal media, but the fact is that everyone is trying to play catch-up with Fox News. Everyone is terrified that reporting anything critical about the administration is going to get them branded a traitor. Now that's loosening up a little bit, but only because there's a presidential election coming up and the Democrats are actually growing some hint of a backbone.
Are you finding it harder to keep up as reality gets a little more absurd by the moment? Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger--what can you do with that?
I almost feel like sometimes all I'm really doing is reacting to what happened. Reality has surpassed satire. When I give talks, I always open it up with the video clip of George W. Bush saying, "There's an old saying down in Texas: Fool me once..." and then he can't remember the rest and has this astonishing deer-in-the-headlights look on his face. The point is to say, "This is what I'm up against. How do I satirize this guy?" It's actually kind of a challenge in its own way.
That sounds fatiguing.

I feel the fatigue every week, but this is how I make a living. Like anybody at any job, there are times when I'm just tired. What I'm tired of is all the arguing. It's like we're primates and we're just engaged in this feces-throwing match all the time, and sometimes I just get tired of throwing feces and of being splattered with feces.
Do you ever reach the point of fury where you just throw down your pen and say enough feces throwing already?
That has not happened yet. In fact, I would say that when I do get tired--if we want to extend this unpleasant metaphor--when I do get tired of the feces throwing, it is the sheer anger that actually reinvigorates me and makes me scoop up a new lump to throw. That's a metaphor that I know I'm going to regret someday. --Patrick Williams
Sack of Kittens
In this installment of Sack of Kittens: Kwik Buddha. Looks like? Remember when metal bands looked like metal bands? You might not have liked the music, but their black concert tees and long locks were something you could always depend on. It was almost like comfort food, musical mac and cheese. Well, these guys clearly don't remember those days, with their multiple piercings, regrettable facial-hair situations and haircuts that will embarrass them as soon as two months from now. Sounds like? Well, at least they sound like your average metal band. Your very average metal band. Actually, that's probably giving them too much credit. Seriously, it sounds like they're playing with their feet. Too bad they aren't. That'd be worth seeing, at least. Thing that supposedly sets them apart from other average metal bands? They have two bass players. Of course, in their case, that's like having two litter boxes. Two full litter boxes. Which one of these things is not like the other? Meet the members of Kwik Buddha: singer-guitarist D-mon, bassist Pignutz, other bassist Mr. Sinister and drummer, um, Phil. Seriously, that dude needs to man up and pick an equally ridiculous moniker if he's serious about being in Kwik Buddha. A few suggestions: Krazy Muthafukka, Phil M.I. Ballz and our favorite, Landphil. Brings a bit of class to the table, doncha think? Song titles that actually sum up the listening experience? "Kill Me" and "Suffer." Sample lyrics? "Who you fuckin' with?/You know you fucked up/Who you fuckin' with?/You better back the fuck up," from "Floored," off 2002's Coagulant. You don't need to work blue, fellas. You've got a certain Ben Vereen quality I can't put my finger on. Number of kittens in the sack they're currently standing on? Three, and they all have terrible goatees. --Zac Crain

The NHL's draft lottery will have a new look moving forward.
The league announced several tweaks to the existing system on Wednesday, including better odds for those non-playoff teams finishing 17th through 26th to capture the first overall selection. The alteration comes at the expense of the squads that ended up 27th to 30th in previous year -- teams that will now find their odds worse.
These changes will be phased in over a two-year period, beginning with the 2015 NHL draft lottery.
Here's a look at how the odds have changed for the 14 non-playoff teams, ranking from fewest points to most.
Finish (Fewest Points) - New Odds - Former Odds
- 20.0% 25.0%
- 13.5% 18.8%
- 11.5% 14.2%
- 9.5% 10.7%
- 8.5% 8.1%
- 7.5% 6.2%
- 6.5% 4.7%
- 6.0% 3.6%
- 5.0% 2.7%
- 3.5% 2.1%
- 3.0% 1.5%
- 2.5% 1.1%
- 2.0% 0.8%
- 1.0% 0.5%
In another change, the 2016 lottery will be used to determine the top three draft slots in the draft, not just the first overall pick as has been the case.
Three draws will be held.
The first lottery draw will determine the team selecting first overall, the second draw will determine the team selecting second overall and the third draw will determine the team selecting third overall.
As a result of this change, the team earning the fewest points during the regular season will no longer be guaranteed, at worst, the second overall pick. That team could fall as low as fourth overall.
The 11 teams not selected in the lottery will be assigned NHL draft selections four through 14, in inverse order of regular-season points.

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I am now able to transcribe conversations from yesterday using just my memory.
I'm able to tweak the bits I can't remember precisely, to make them more entertaining.
And omit the bits where somebody was waffling.
And that's what I've done for you today in today's Money Morning.
Here follows a conversation with my broker from yesterday about gold and gold stocks…
The bull market that just won't stop
"Steve." We'll call him Steve. It's neutral, it's believable. "Steve, I want to lighten up on gold stocks here. We need to sell something."
"Why?" he answered doubtfully in the annoying, cynical tone he takes when he doesn't agree with me.
"It's all gone up too far too fast."
"It won't last. You know what happens when these things sell off."
"And it's way overbought. On just about any measure you like."
"It's been way overbought for over a month", he observed.
"What if it doesn't sell off?"
"It will", I said. "It's bound to."
"But what if it doesn't?"
"We always get a sell-off in February and March."
"We haven't this year."
"Which makes it even more likely. There's too much euphoria. Too much bullish sentiment. The 'to-the-moon' crowd is crowing. The COT data [commitments of traders – the positions of the professional futures traders] has gone to extremes again. We've had a MACD [moving average convergence/divergence] sell signal."
"That's already been invalidated."
"I know, but – the large caps are up over 80% in two months. That's too much."
"Is it? From how oversold they were? So maybe it consolidates for a while. Or they could carry on going up."
I was starting to doubt my convictions.
"Look, I'm confident this is going to go lower and between now and July, I'll be able to buy in at much lower prices."
"How will you know when to buy back in?"
And so it went on.
Steve is a fantastic broker during a bull market. Once you've got a position, he likes to ride it all the way. Unfortunately, that makes him a rotten broker during a bear market. His risk management is terrible.
Wall of worry? Or irrational exuberance?
So who's right? Is this a new bull market? Or have gold and gold stocks got way ahead of themselves and should we be taking profits?
If you read my stuff every week – and who doesn't? – you'll know that I've been cynical about gold for a some time now. Meanwhile, gold has kept on rising. I've been wrong.
Something Steve then said chimed rather.
"Remember bull markets throw you off. You're climbing the wall of worry."
"Yes, but –"
"That's what they do."
Is that what's happened here? Looking at overbought readings, COT data, sentiment and all the rest of it, and with the recency bias of a five-year bear market, have I failed to climb the wall of worry?
"Who do you know that's been in this one, right from the get go, fully invested?" he asked.
"No one."
"Nobody! Everybody's missed it. Everybody. They're all sitting in cash, not believing this move. They're all "waiting for the pullback and then they'll get in". And the pullback hasn't come."
He continued. "There really isn't very much for them to buy. So many mining companies are dead, there really aren't many opportunities. So it doesn't take much money to push up prices. That's what you're seeing. I can see the money-flows."
He's absolutely right, of course. If this is a new bull market, the most challenging job is to stay invested. This move has caught many people unawares. It's been treated as though it's a bear market rally and profits have been taken too quickly.
That's one of the beauties of owning physical metal. It's such a pain in the backside to sell, you mostly don't get round to it. And so you are forced to stay invested.
But ETFs, stocks, options, spreadbetting positions – they're too easy to trade. And you are goaded into trading, when perhaps it would be wiser (and cheaper) to do nothing.
That's why it can be a good idea to have a trading account and an account for longer-term positions.
Defying the wisdom of Steve
Despite the wisdom of Steve, I remain of the mind that gold has got ahead of itself and that we're going to get a correction. But when? And by how much? Those are the million-dollar questions. Gold sentiment seems to change on a sixpence.
In my short-term account I'm now out of gold and gold stocks. In fact, I actually took a small short position against gold last week – and got stopped out. I may try again. I've still got way too much exposure via physical metal. In my longer-term account I have a few gold stocks and special situations.
So I win whichever way gold goes. But if it goes up, I don't win by as much as I would like. So I'm hoping – never a good investment strategy – it goes down first. Then, of course, I will nail the bottom to the day, buy shed loads of gold stocks, watch them double and triple and retire to the tropics.
My first target for gold is the $1,150 to $1,180 area – for reasons I'll explain in another missive. As for the HUI (the index of unhedged, large cap, gold stocks) I'm thinking 125-140 (it's 170 now).
Now watch it go up, up and up.

There could only be one winner -- one yo-yo to rule them all -- but this was no ordinary yo-yo competition, with each one dangling from a 65-foot (20-metre) rope, suspended on a crane.
The contest on Wednesday, touted as featuring the world's longest yo-yos, was conceived as an unusual way to test the physics skills and sheer ingenuity of students at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
On a lawn at the centre of the campus, in the northern coastal city, a towering yellow crane was set up, to give each of the 14 teams a chance to try their luck.
The oversized playthings were hoisted skyward in a cage, winched up carefully before the cage trapdoors opened and the makeshift yo-yos unfurled their way towards the ground below.
"It looks simple at first, but as you dive in, you want to make it better and better," said Yaniv Bas, a mechanical engineering student at the Technion.
"We only have one shot, which is why it should be simple."
Some yo-yos were spartan affairs, putting substance over style. But others aimed to please the crowd as much as the judges, who were measuring how far each yo-yo would ascend after its initial plunge from the top of the almost 100-foot crane
One entry was painted in yellow-and-black stripes that wiggled psychedelically as the yo-yo span downwards, a built-in mechanism releasing coloured confetti into the air, to the delight of the audience below.
Another was painted on each side with a yellow grinning face, a single tooth painted in a wide, red smile that span around as the yo-yo yo-yoed.
At stake for the team with the best showing was 10,000 shekels ($2,935), and, of course, the glory of beating out their schoolmates.
In the end, Eyal Moshe Cohen won the day, with his all-steel yo-yo netting him and his teammates the top prize.
"It's made entirely of steel, so the momentum is very high, which is what made it win," he said after, grinning at the unexpected victory.
"I was not sure it was going to win until they made the announcement. I'm very proud of it," he said.
And as for the winnings, Cohen, a mechanical engineering student, said he had simple plans for his share.
"I'm a student, I'm not working, so it will go to pay my apartment and things like that. It will make my life easier."

Once an icon of the American west, bison are now hazed through costly government-driven efforts and killed in droves around Yellowstone National Park during the winter. Their crime: migrating outside of the park's borders onto public and private land in Montana, searching for food.

Before the arrest of Marv Albert in 1997, he was at the top of his professional career, working for NBC doing NBA and NFL broadcasts. The end for Albert came when he picked up the morning paper and saw his name attached to the following words; panties, garters and woman's hairpiece.
Hardly what you would expect from a man who could caustically interview the likes of Dennis Rodman and Mike Ditka, the cross-dressing Albert was fired by NBC and left the world of sport with a bag over his head. Since then, he was rehired by NBC and became the voice of the New Jersey Nets in 2005.
And now, with fellow New Yorker Anthony Weiner going through the same type of disgrace, Albert dismisses any comparison because, as he points out:
"I was at least wearing panties to cover my private parts. That being so, I doubt that Weiner will ever be able to go back to politics. However, after a few months of exile, he should be able to get a job with CNN like Eliot Spitzer."

An American Airlines flight en route to the nation's capitol was forced to land in Charleston, S.C., Monday night, airline officials confirmed to The Hill Tuesday.
The plane, American Flight 1012, was flying from Miami to Washington's Reagan National Airport when a flight attendant smelled "an electrical odor" coming from the airplane's bathroom, the airline said.
The flight attendant notified the pilot, who then was then procedurally required to land the plane "as quickly and safely as possible," the airline said.
"A mechanic was sent to Charleston to make repairs, but it was later determined the best course of action was to ferry another plane from Miami to Charleston to complete the journey," American said Tuesday. "That plane is due to arrive in Washington late this afternoon."
No passengers were injured in the incident.

A Great Professional Looking Choice
By Old School Photographer
from Miller Beach, IN
Have been purchasing and using this specific photo paper from Blick once I discovered it 5+ yrs ago. Have used many others in the past; however, this is the only one I've found that result in beautiful pics with 'depth' - colors pop. Pics look professional - not that cheap high gloss thin paper that shows the slightest finger print. Thank You, Blick!

Just got a sample pack looking to get a new satin finish paper to replace a discontinued brand I had been using. This works great, looks great and I hadn't even used the custom profiles. It's actually priced less than the old paper I was using and comes in more sizes.Ordered online and it was here in three days with standard shipping. Ordering more now.

Priced higher in-store
By Jon the Runner
from New York, NY
For these items, the prices on the website are subtle to significantly lower than in-store. Avoiding the shipping charge of online shopping in favor of in-store may not actually save money. Also, found this item cheaper online elsewhere.I've been working on this for over an hour, and so far, no luck printing. You have to set up profiles and settings, but even still, my printer will not accept this media. It's not as easy as the package makes it sounds.

We review some of the recent research activities on plasmonic devices based on metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators for manipulating light at the nanoscale. We first introduce slow-light subwavelength plasmonic waveguides based on plasmonic analogues of periodically loaded transmission lines and electromagnetically induced transparency. In both cases, the structures consist of a MDM waveguide side-coupled to periodic arrays of MDM stub resonators. We then introduce absorption switches consisting of a MDM plasmonic waveguide side-coupled to a MDM stub resonator filled with an active material.

string theory: Focus on contemporary Australian art, is a touring exhibition from the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, that explores innovative approaches to fibre and art in a contemporary context. The exhibition brings together Aboriginal artists who work with expanded notions of textile and craft-based tradition and presents a range of artworks from sculpture, photography, painting to video. Curated by MCA Senior Curator, Glenn Barkley, it features the work of over 30 artists and artist groups from all over Australia.
'String theory' is a scientific principle that posits a theory of everything. In this exhibition it implies expansion and connection across time and space, is porous and open-ended, and diverse approaches to the idea of 'fibre' or craft-based disciplines. A highlight of the exhibition is a commission by Yirrkala artist Lipaki Marlaypa who works exclusively with traditional hand-made string. Many of the works in the exhibition have string as an integral material in their making whilst others use photography, painting and installation whilst still being grounded in a textile tradition.
The exhibition will commence touring in 2013. Please contact MCA Touring:

West Bromwich Albion are thought to be considering a move for West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green.
The 32-year-old's future at Upton Park is in doubt after talks over a new contract recently came to a halt.
With his current deal due to run out next month, the Baggies could now step in for the shotstopper, according to the Daily Mail.
Green was recently named in England's 23-man squad for Euro 2012.

OTTAWA - In a rare occurrence, Chris Neil declined requests by the media to speak with him Wednesday.
Maybe he thought it was too early in the season to have to defend himself for nothing.
A number of times over the years, Neil has been asked to explain his abrasive, on-ice actions to reporters. But rarely, if ever, has he been called up on the carpet by the leagues disciplinarians.
It speaks volumes of the 32-year-old Senators winger that somebody who plays as hard and on the edge as he has the past decade has never been suspended.
It says he plays tough but clean. The way youre supposed to play. He doesnt slash, he doesnt spear, he doesnt kick, he doesnt bite, he doesnt gouge. If he has a score to settle or a message to send, he does it like a man.
He hits. Quite often, with his bare fists. But also with his shoulder or some other part of his upper body. And his timing is seldom off.
In any event, new NHL sheriff Brendan Shanahan apparently didnt see anything wrong with Neils bump into Maple Leafs winger Mikhail Grabovski Tuesday night, either. Maybe Neil stepped up a little, but not with intent to injure. Looked more like a keep-your-head-up warning, if anything.
There were cries from Toronto that demanded Neil get the book, or at least a couple of pages. But never should anybody be suspended for something so close to being incidental contact, and Shanahan either viewed it as such or thought that if Neil was guilty of anything, it was two minutes for interference. If the refs didnt penalize him, Shanny obviously thought, then neither will the league.
Sorta refreshing, isnt it?
We havent seen any videos from Brendan, so I think we are all right, coach Paul MacLean said Wednesday. I mean, players collide on the ice all the time.
Nobody intentionally collides with an opponent more often than Neil. When the Senators went to the Stanley Cup in 2006-07, Neil led the league in hits, with 288. In the four years since, he hasnt pulled up at all, with 870 hits despite missing 52 games to injuries.
Finishing a check is an important part of the game. If a guy knows hes going to get hit, hes more apt to rush a pass, make a mistake. Neil has forced a lot of mistakes.
Hes a good pro, said MacLean. In the Montreal game (Saturday), we came back and won because of his physical play.
Neil also brings leadership qualities to the rink. He has worn the A in pre-season games, and you dont have to ask him to know that gives him a sense of pride. The only way the letter would look better on him is if it were sewn on permanently.
Neil is a guy that stated time and again he wanted to remain in Ottawa through the rebuild, even when the rumours abound that Vancouver was trying to acquire him in a trade.
Hes always been in that leadership group (here), said MacLean. My expectation is for him to be in that group again, with the experience he brings to the group. Hes been great. My expectation was for him to come in, work hard in practice every day. Go to the net, go to the dirty areas that guys arent brave enough to go to. He has done it and he has been rewarded with points.
All the rookies have watched him collect four of them, in four games.
He shows that if you go to those spots consistently, you are going to have success, MacLean continued. Young players need to know that. They need to see it. Its one thing for me to tell them. If they actually see someone doing it, its a better picture.
Through the years, Neil has never been one of the most talented Senators. But while other tough guys around the league have been limited to fourth-line spot duty, he has continually picked up third-line minutes.
Why has Neil always had a regular shift? Part of it has to do with the fact hes a good listener. In the early days, if you didnt play Jacques Martins way, you didnt play. Neil always played.
He takes directions very well, said MacLean. He does what the coach wants him to do and he does it right.
As green as they are, there will be Senators who dont yet scratch the surface of their potential this season, which will be hard to criticize, and there will also be those who underachieve, which will be easy to figure out.
But you know right now what youre going to get from Neil, and thats the same as always. Hell be a stand-up guy, who always plays tough but clean. The way the game is supposed to be played.

America is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to discussing race, declared Attorney General Eric Holder on February 18, 2009, just two weeks after he was confirmed as head of the U.S. Justice Department and the chief law officer of the federal government — and the nation's first African-American attorney general.
Speaking to Department of Justice employees at an event celebrating Black History Month, Holder stated, "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and we, I believe, continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards."
America "has still not come to grips with its racial past," stated Holder, contending that we "simply do not talk enough with each other about race."
To make progress, "we have to have the guts to be honest with each other," he advised, the guts to talk "freely and without fear," and become "tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations."
Instead, said Holder, "certain subjects are off limits and that to explore them risks, at best, embarrassment, and, at worst, the questioning of one's character."
Holder was right. Plenty of subjects have been placed "off limits," and not just relating to race.
NPR News, for instance, fired longtime news analyst Juan Williams because of a politically incorrect remark he made on The O'Reilly Factor.
"Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot," said Williams, one of the nation's top African-American commentators. "You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
Similarly, Joyce Carol Oates created what a recent Wall Street Journal headline called a "furor" after simply tweeting the following after monitoring news from Egypt: "Where 99.3% of women report having been sexually harassed and rape is epidemic — Egypt — natural to inquire: what's the predominant religion?"
Oates also tweeted a few more questions: "Religion has no effect on behavior at all? 'Rape culture' has no relationship to any 'religious culture' — how can this be?"
In reaction to those simple and reasonable questions, "fellow writers and intellectuals freaked" reported New York Times columnist Frank Bruni.
Oates, accused of "Islamophobic tweets" and "anti-Muslim bigotry," became the issue, rather than the level of misogyny and sexist aggression in Egypt.
In the same way, longtime Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen recently created a furor by writing about "the reality of urban crime in America" and "the widespread fear of crime committed by young black males."
Explained Cohen, "In New York City, blacks comprise 23.4 percent of the population yet they represent 78 percent of all shooting suspects — almost all of them young men. We know them from the nightly news."
There is "no doubt in my mind that Zimmerman profiled Martin," continued Cohen, and the result was a quintessentially American tragedy — the death of a young man understandably suspected because he was black and tragically dead for the same reason."
To ignore the racial component of America's murder statistics is "an Orwellian exercise in political correctness," wrote Cohen. "Crime where it intersects with race is given the silent treatment," not unlike "sex in the Victorian era (or the 1950s), an unmentionable but unmistakable part of life. We all know about it and take appropriate precaution but keep our mouths shut."
Ralph R. Reiland is an associate professor of economics at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh.

Using VBA to automatically assign gender in excel spreadsheet
A couple of days ago, I posted about automatically filling in empty cells underneath a gender column based on the first name in the same row. I have found moderate success by downloading an MS Access database (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2169/Name-genderization) with 6000 names and corresponding genders preloaded, copying this database into an adjacent excel sheet and using the VLOOKUP function. However, it doesn't seem to list a lot of foreign names, namely Middle Eastern and Chinese. So I found a fairly reliable and simple baby name guesser website (http://www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php) to supplement this list. My idea would be, when the VLOOKUP turns up a "#N/A" for the gender of the member's name (since I have the VLOOKUP set to "False"), to have a code (preferably in VBA) run that submits the name to the baby name guesser website and inserts "M" or "F" in the cell for the resulting gender. I haven't programmed before, so it would be great on getting guidance on where to start. Thanks!

The book contains a series of mentoring sessions, each carefully thought out to make you consider and plan your life based on your passions, ambitions and ultimate visions.
By actively taking part in each of the exercises, you give yourself the best chance of succeeding as an Entrepreneur, or the sufficient clarity to decide what other career options are best suited to you.
Drawing on his own experience as a successful serial Entrepreneur and those of his vast network, Jon guides the reader through a series of mentoring sessions, educating them on the realities of the entrepreneurial lifestyle and addressing their personality and ambitions to determine if this is the life for them.
Jon Gillespie Brown is the founder and CEO of a number of successful hi-tech companies.
In tandem with his Entrepreneurial commitments Jon actively promotes the concept of 'contribution' and 'giving back' and has provided mentor support to students at the London Business School for seven years and is now also a Mentor at Stanford and UC Berkely HAAS Universities in California where a number of his businesses and family are now based.
From the Author Jon Gillespie-Brown
"I wrote this book after mentoring over 100 people of all ages, skills, backgrounds and ambitions over the last ten years.
I loved hearing their stories and absorbing the passions for their ideas or businesses. When they asked for help and advice I found myself asking the same questions again and again in an effort help them get the most out of their dreams as well as their lives. This book is a result of working with all of those people both formally and informally.
So many of my mentees had ideas that were a million miles away from their true nature or what they wanted from their personal lives, life stage or personality. It was as if the idea was totally disconnected from them as a person.
My ambition is to help people bring together both their dream and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can make a simple decision – will this business idea suit me or should I do something else, like stay in my job or find a better employer.
I wanted a practical and fun process to help people tease out their big dreams and then couple that with their real passions and abilities in order for them maximise their chances of success.
My final objective is to encourage as many people as possible to use the book as a way to help others less fortunate than themselves. The very act of buying the book will mean a donation to some of the poorest people on the planet who will then have the chance to start their own business too."

TRi-Boot XP PRo, Xp Pro & Fedora
Hi, here is my problem.
HDD1 : XP Pro
HDD2: XP Pro, Mandriva 2005
I have it all installed, but the GRUB loader, only detects HDD1 XP and itself (of course). I add the second XP, and when I select it, it "redirects" me to the HDD1 XP boot loader that has the selection for the two XPs. How do I get it so I can boot all three from GRUB?
Did you install the operating systems to the hard drives as they are configured now? In what order?
Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst if one exists.
EDIT:Unsubscribing to this thread as there is a contradictory post here:

Does this look like a coach with a 19-point lead in the last 3 minutes?
Sean Miller has a great deal to be happy about with his Arizona team this year, but that doesn't mean the Wildcats head coach is resting on their accomplishments.
Arizona holds the nation's No. 5 ranking, and entered play Thursday having won 18 of its last 19 games. The Wildcats dusted Washington State by 19 points on Thursday, but Miller appeared to be incredibly stressed late in the game despite holding such a large advantage.
Of course, this is the coach who routinely sweats through his undershirt on the sideline, including one epic display during last year's NCAA Tournament, so perhaps we shouldn't be too shocked at his surly sideline demeanor.
