• Indian Room, Balham
The Lamb Passanda Nawabi was well made, the pieces of lamb impeccably firm and tender, perfect texture. A fairly good rich creamy sauce, enhanced with pistachio. The lamb was a fine dish, although the daal saag stole the show, great feel to the lentils, cooked to point where they still held a shadow for their shape for just a tiny moment, before they disappear into softness. Between the nubs of lentils, the leafiness of the spinach makes for a great textural contrast, a green flavour contrasting with the slightly nutty flavour, earthy flavour of the lentils. Pretty good overall, with high production values.
• Mirch Marsala, Tooting
A decent ginger chicken, well flavoured and cooked, if fairly basic.
• Zaika, Tooting
A hole in the wall type place, while not meriting a huge rave, was unassuming and decent. Chilli chicken curry used thighs, which scored points in my book, even if the curry was bit tired and not fully revitalized by the microwave.
• Ma Goa, Putney
Originally planned to go for pork vindaloo, to find that they only served a modest buffet on sundays. The pakora was a bit flat and the two chicken curries were decent (a red and a green) -- I liked the green better, more mellow spicing, and the fragrance of coconut milk. The lamb curry was my favourite meat item, deep and earthy, bearing the meaty flavours of the lamb well. I liked the daal a lot, a thick liquid with nubs of lentils, aromatic and earthy, and given a lovely flavour by caramelized shallots. Aloo gobi was a nice rendition, if a touch too gingery at parts, another mixed vegetable curry (aubgergines, peas, snap peas) would roar to life with green chilli and coconut milk, a junglely mix of flavours that I liked. Would be back for the vindaloo.

A legacy lives on
David Snyder operates the new multimedia system dedicated Sunday at Zion Stone Church in New Ringgold. The system was donated to the church by the family of the late Richard Meiser. Snyder is one of three people who operate the system. The others are Jared Buchman and Barbara Lushia.
For decades, West Penn Township businessman Richard Meiser devoted time, energy and expertise to his spiritual home, Zion Lutheran Church.
Although Meiser died in 2005, his legacy lives on at Zion, not only through the work he did there, but now also through his family's donation of the funds needed for a new multimedia system that allows those sitting in the balcony seats to better see the pulpit, and those in the nave, (the main part of the church), to see the choir, which sits in the balcony at the back of the church.
The system which includes two projectors, two flat screen monitors, two video cameras, microphones, DVD recorder and a duplicator also projects images, films and PowerPoint presentations on white space at either side of a large mural of Jesus above the pulpit, and over two flat-screen closed-circuit televisions mounted on the walls on both sides of the nave. The system can also record DVDs so homebound parishioners can experience church services.
"People down below can see the choirs and other special musical performances without having to turn their heads and crane their necks toward the back balcony. We will be able to project the lyrics of hymns used in worship that are not in our hymnal without having to copy them in the bulletin," said the Rev. Michael A. Frost.
On Sunday, a PowerPoint presentation about United Church of Christ missionary in South Africa, Susan Valiquette, and her husband, Scott Cooper, formerly of Neffs, Lehigh County, was presented using the system. The system would also allow services to be broadcast via television and/or web-streaming through the church's website, Frost said.
Meiser's gift will continue to enhance Zion Stone Church services.
"The possibilities are almost limitless and it will take some time to realize all of the potential we now have because of this incredibly generous gift from the Meiser family," Frost said. "This was Dick's dream and vision and we are so pleased that it is now a reality. I am quite sure Dick would be pleased."
On Sunday, the Meiser family joined Frost at the pulpit to dedicate the new system.
"I know this was very meaningful to him to have this put into place. This was a vision that he had had, that this would be put in place sometime in the future," said Meiser's widow, Eileen.
"I'm just so proud of him this was his dream," said his sister, Nancy Meiser.
"The project was a vision in the heart and mind of Richard Meiser going back to 2003-2004," Frost said. The "formal decisions to move forward with the multimedia project came about in late 2008, early 2009. The system began in the summer of 2009."
Wiring the system was a challenge, considering the age of the church, built in the mid-1800s.
"It took longer than many of us realized because it is, effectively, putting 21st century technology in a 19th century building and there was quite a bit of electrical rewiring that had to be done along the way," Frost said. "We finally began using the system in worship this fall."
Richard Meiser was a longtime member of Zion Stone Church's Lutheran congregation. He had served many years as the Lutheran congregation council president and as the president of the joint board, Frost said. Meiser was also "instrumental in the development of the plan to merge the Lutheran and UCC congregations into the newly constituted federated congregation we became in the spring of 2005," he said.
Meiser, who died at age 58 on Jan. 29, 2005, was well-respected in both the business and church community. He was an environmental health and safety manager for Air Products, owned D&E Beverage and operated the family Christmas tree farm.
Known for his boundless energy and generosity, Meiser sang in the church choir, taught Sunday school and served as Sunday school superintendent.

nationIf you are a college football fan, you know folks have been looking forward to the LSU-Alabama contest for a few weeks.
LSU is No. 1 in the BCS standings while Alabama comes in at No. 2. The Tide has the home field advantage.
I look at this as an elimination game for the national championship. The loser would have to hope some other undefeated teams lose in the remaining weeks in order for a one-loss grouping. Then maybe the computers would look favorably on a one-loss SEC team.
Some believe a one-loss SEC team should be a national championship contender against undefeated teams. I don't believe that way. A loss is a loss whether it comes in the SEC, ACC, Big Ten or Big 12.
Anyway, the stakes are high in this one. The winner should be the favorite for the national championship. Both schools have played that role in recent years and seceded in it.
Do you think the loser should get another shot at the national championship?

Shame on our lack of faith: Here's potential proof of the multiverse …
|January 24, 2012
|Posted by News under Cosmology, Multiverse, News
In "Physicists Hope to Catch Neutrons in the Act of Jumping from Our Universe to Another"(PopSci , 01.23.2012), Clay Dillow reports,
In a perfect experiment, the neutrons would always decay precisely at a rate equal to the beta decay rate, but this is never the case because neutron bottles aren't perfect–the rate of decay is always a bit faster, presumably because some of the neutrons escape by means other than decay.
Or maybe they don't. Michael Sarrazin at the University of Namur in Belgium and a few colleagues have postulated that maybe these neutrons simply depart for another universe. They have already shown how, theoretically, large enough magnetic potentials could provide the basis for inter-universe matter swapping. Now, in a paper available at arXiv, they've used decay rate data to place an upper limit on how often this might be able to happen. They found that it's probably quite rare if it happens at all–according to their figures, the probability of a neutron making the leap to another universe is smaller than one in a million.
… or maybe as good as proof gets in these matters.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Tori TO
Review for Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA
My daughter (Tori) was diagnosed with a brain tumor in Dec. 2005 on her 13th birthday. She will turn 20 on Dec. 7, 2012. We have seen many families go thru this durning many BTFC events. When my daughter was diagnosed in 2005 there were 2 to 5 new patients a month diagnosed with brain tumors. Now there are so many more diagnosed due to the awareness of the symptoms given out to many pediatric doctors. The BTFC has helped us in so many ways from pay bills to having family events to go to with our daughter and share our story with other family going thru the same thing. We have helped with fundraiser and volunteer at BTFC events too. My daughter LOVES this foundation and will stay a volunteer the rest of her life.

YOU MIGHT CALL THIS THE CASE OF THE Purloined Prose. It begins on a dark and fateful night about a year ago when Phil Zuckerman, 40, began to read to his son Andy, then 5, from a favorite Hardy Boys adventure, The Mystery of Cabin Island. As he sat on a footstool in his Bedford, Mass., home, Zuckerman realized that something was missing. "Somehow the scenes weren't as cold as I remembered. The villains weren't as villainous," Zuckerman says. "It was dull." A little investigation proved that Zuckerman, who is president of the small Applewood Books, wasn't just imagining things. Beginning in 1959, all 38 of the original Hardy Boys titles and 34 of the Nancy Drew books had been revised to soften racial and sexual stereotypes and outmoded cultural references. Gone were all the swarthy, uneducated bad guys, along with Nancy Drew's blue roadster and many of the long, florid passages that had thrilled him as a child.
Zuckerman guessed that his kids would prefer the original products of a literary factory in which prepared outlines were fleshed out by hungry writers. When he showed before-and-after chapters to some booksellers, they agreed. So he has acquired the rights to the original texts of three Hardy Boys and three Nancy Drew stories and plans this fall to reissue facsimiles of the hardcovers, complete with original cover art, first published in the '20s and early '30s.
Not everyone is delighted. Sharon McDonald, the children's librarian at the Bedford Free Public Library, says, "When I reread these books as an adult, the bad guy always has an accent…. It troubles me." But beyond that, Zuckerman insists that the original books reflect "moral character and whole-someness and some historical perspective." Son Andy sees a simpler virtue. In the original description of the Hardy boys ice-skating in Hunting for Hidden Gold, he says, "I felt like the wind was blowing hard on the lake."

Transformative Technologies
Since some point in high school, I've had a bit of an obsession with the idea of "transformative technologies." Basically, I've found it interesting to think about what technologies truly transform our lives, rather than simply offering added value – however significant we might perceive that value to be.
To wit: I've always thought of the radio as transformative, in creating a means for the instantaneous dissemination of identical information to a mass audience. The boob tube, by contrast, seems like mere icing on the cake.
More recently, and perhaps more counter-intuitively, I've been inclined to describe the answering machine as transformative – by contrast with the mobile phone. The answering machine, my logic goes, created a mechanism by which we could connect with someone in short order, without the need to actually locate them. (Of course, the telegraph might be understood to have done the same thing, but the relative challenges of communicating by telegraph might arguably place it a notch behind the answering machine, at least in the specific dimension on which I'm analyzing the latter. More importantly, I would suggest, the primary transformation wrought by the telegraph – which I would acknowledge – lies not in the capacity to communicate with someone without locating them, but in the capacity to communicate with someone at all. In this respect, it should be evaluated against the telephone, in terms of its transformative impact.)
The mobile phone, it is true, makes it easy for us to communicate, regardless of where we are. But (formerly) omnipresent pay phones did something similar – at least in tandem with answering machines, and later voicemail. The ease of actually talking wherever we are, moreover, is less self-evidently transformative to me, than the ease of receiving the content of such communications, regardless of where we are.
A story on National Public Radio last week, however, made me wonder. In it, the reporter described the increasing participation of fairly small-scale African farmers in global markets. A number of relevant variables came into the picture, but among the most significant was the widespread availability – and use – of mobile phones by such farmers. The latter, the report indicated, have "created a great sense for the farmers of reality, of what urban markets are like."
Now that's something different. That a small-scale farmer in Africa, with little other exposure to the global economy, might gain insight into it via his mobile phone struck me as truly transformative.

Now, the Oklahoma City man has completed quite the musical feat himself: writing 100 songs in 100 days.
Songwriting has served as a stress reliever for him his entire life. After getting involved in drugs — "I could write a whole book on the effects of lacquer on a human being," he wrote on his website — he found himself in rehab, where music served as soothing therapy.
"It's always been there," Montgomery said. "It's everywhere. It helped me fit in there and tell myself, 'Maybe I can do this.'" Motivated by the 174 "Woody Sez" columns Guthrie wrote for The Daily Worker from 1939 to 1940, Montgomery came up with the personal song-a-day challenge. He bought himself a camera, tripod and microphone, and began his journey.
With the technical help of his cousin, Jazz Bishop, he met his goal, recording and uploading each song to his YouTube channel, MrRandyMontgomery.
In the videos, Montgomery sings, plays guitar and, on occasion, chimes in with his harmonica.
Each tune is different, but Montgomery said he favors themes of war, politics, women and insects. Although some tracks are more serious than others, his lyrics are generally playful and humorous.
his music, a fan favorite is "Tick on My Dick"; his personal favorite
is "No More," written in tribute to Guthrie's centennial.
Montgomery completed his mission shortly after Christmas by hitting
song No. 100, he has no intention of putting the breaks on his momentum.
In fact, he has continued, adding around 70 songs to his collection.
"Sometimes I write three songs in one day," he said.
One day, he'd like to go on tour, taking the world by storm.
"My goal is to change the consciousness of all planet earth," he said.
TOP 10 Random titles from Randy Montgomery's ongoing project:
1. "Faucet Love"
2. "Kids Are Smart"
3. "Rats Are Cute"
4. "Don't Look Like I'll Be Getting Laid Again This Year for Christmas"
5. "Suitcase Mud"

TML turns text into HTML using a wiki-like markup. Unlike txt2tags, TML does not support multiple output formats (although there is some support for word documents through a separate project). HTML tags may be freely mixed into the source where desired. The output is easy to read and supports table-free CSS layouts. .include files can be used to insert blocks of code such as Google ads that appear on multiple pages. The code was written with technology normally used for software compilation for faster, more accurate parsing.
Metasploit Express is security software for security professionals in enterprises and government agencies who need to carry out penetration tests against their systems quickly and easily. It adds a graphical user interface to the Metasploit Framework, the de-facto leader in pentesting tools, and automates many of the tasks that otherwise require custom scripting, such as smart brute forcing, evidence collection, and reporting.
Polypy is a small program to analyze rings in structures read from xyz files. This can be used, for example, to identify defects in crystal structures. The program was initially developed to analyze graphitic carbon structures, but can be used for any other structure. It includes: ring search using Franzblau statistics [Phys. Rev. B 44, 4925]; output structures marked by ring size, which can used for visualization in a program such as VMD; and extensive output with which atoms are in which ring and the neighbors of each atom.
Cyclone is a low-level network toolkit that provides support for HTTP 1.1 in an API very similar to the one implemented by the Tornado Web server. It has localization based on gettext with pluralization support, native support for XMLRPC and JSONRPC, native support for WebSockets (drafts 75 and 76), decent support for sending plain text or HTML email with TLS and attachments, built-in support for Redis, and support for HTTP authentication.
The Enhanced MetaFile format (EMF) is the native vector graphics file format on Windows. Qt is a cross-platform application development framework, widely used for the development of GUI programs. Although it provides tools for almost every aspect of software development, Qt doesn't include a straightforward solution for the export of 2D graphics to the EMF format. EmfEngine covers this lack and enables Qt-based applications to easily export graphics to the Enhanced Metafile format.
Spectra is a simple tool designed to aid in evaluating the quality of random numbers generated by TRNGs and PRNGs. It does this by counting the occurrences of characters within a given input file to help detect perceived bias, and then visualizes the data as colored (or black and white) pixels in an image file to aid in detection of repeating patterns. As the human mind is exceptionally good at picking up on patterns that might otherwise be difficult to detect mathematically, Spectra allows the user to rapidly make a determination on the repeatability of numbers generated from the suspect RNG.
OwfsWeather is a package that scans and logs weather data from various One-Wire weather sensors. It uses OWFS, the One Wire File System, to communicate with the sensors. It currently supports logging of weather data to Weather Underground, a CSV file, and to an RRD database. Current hardware supported is the WSI-601 weather station from AAG, a DS1820 temperature sensor, and the humidity and barometric pressure modules from Hobby Boards.

I love this place! They are passionate about their tea, and it shows. The selection is impressive and the space is lovely. Go there if you are in the area!
Although I no longer live in Philadelphia, this remains my favorite tea shop in America. The atmosphere is perfect, the space is curated to allow you completely relax and feel instantly at home. The selection is excellent, the staff is helpful and knowledgeable, and there is always something new brewing.
Fun little place. Great service. Good variety of teas.
Great ambiance and they even served me a pi lo chun on a full bamboo tea tray with a gaiwan, cooling pitcher, and tasting cups. A cast iron tea kettle was presented with a little tea light underneath. It was very impressive.
My only knock on them is the tea selection. Far too many flavored teas and not enough oolongs.
As far as I know, it's the best tea room in Philly.
The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop Review
On June 28 there was a deal on buywithme.com to purchase $5 and get $10 worth of Tea OR $13 for a 20 minute Aromatherapy Massage ($26 value) at The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop (therandomtearoom.com). I bought one of each.
The teashop is located 713 North 4th Street, Philadelphia PA 19123
On July 24th MilitiaJim and I went for some tea and snacks before going to Dorian's Parlor (). We had also wanted to redeem the massage certificate but the masseuse was unavailable that day.
The place itself is a tiny thing, with a bar counter, and random furniture and art. A bit like dropping into the mad hatter's grandmother's place for tea. There was china and random interesting things all around. We ordered genmaicha and selected a pound cake and scone from the side table (serve yourself) for snacks. The tea came out in a glass teapot with two nice pottery cups. The place was not full but did have other customers the entire time we were there.
The genmaicha smelled seaweed, earthy
The taste was rice, vegetal and felt a little gritty, not in a bad way but textured and not silky butter
The after taste was like toasted rice
It had a medium body
The color was a translucent yellow-green
Yelp.com has some great pictures: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-random-tea-room-and-curiosity-shop-philadelphia
Saturday July 31 MilitiaJim went back for his massage; it was an inverted massage, where you are on an incline, on your back where you feet are at the higher angle. It was interesting and relaxing but took some getting used to. He would get it again in addition to a normal massage but it is not a substitute. He also got a chai tea with his massage! After reading all the yelp reviews I wish I tried the chai, I'll need to go back now.

I love this place. Walking my dog in the morning in the Northern Liberties section of Philly, I discovered a small shoppe, filled with all things tea. I felt the beginnings of an enthusiasm coming on and grabbed the "tea menu." Spiced assam, I decided it would be. My first small brown bag of tea leaves would be spiced assam.
Then, a few days later, I returned to the small store with the small sign hanging nonchalantly above the door. It felt more like walking into the rabbit hole, magical.
I love this place and now, apparently, I love teas. Vanilla Honeybush is my latest pleasure…make the trip, it's worth it.

Before hitting the onslaught of reporters in the post-game press conference in the visitors' locker room, South Carolina head coach Lou Holtz spent a moment on the field with ESPN -- answering three general questions with the same theme: the offensive line has got to improve before he or anybody can turn make South Carolina a winning program again.
''We couldn't run and we couldn't protect,'' Holtz said. ''We're not going to be able to do much offensively until we get better on the offensive line.''
Saturday against Georgia, the Gamecocks extended this season's streak to seven quarters without a touchdown and eight without a meaningful touchdown -- with their late 80-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter serving nothing more than a morale booster for next week's home opener against East Carolina.
In Holtz's mind, much of the offense's ineptitude against Georgia -- 137 yards total offense for three quarters and 218 for the game -- can be attributed to the offensive line, which to no fault of their own, has been hampered by injuries. The Gamecocks were already without guard Kevin Rivers coming into the game and they lost center Scott Browne midway through the third quarter with a possible torn anterior cruciate ligament.
''Three weeks ago, Larrell Johnson was a third-string defensive lineman and now he's our starting center,'' said Holtz on Browne's replacement Saturday. ''We had another starting tackle who was a defensive lineman last year and didn't play at all.''
South Carolina's line couldn't contain a much more aggressive Georgia defense compared to the Bulldog squad of last week against Utah State. The Bulldogs sacked Gamecock quarterback Phil Petty five times (two by Richard Seymour) and registered a whopping 15 tackles for a loss.
Freshman Derek Watson, who ran for 118 yards last week against N.C. State, was held to 29 yards on 10 carries. South Carolina had one first down and 19 total yards after the first quarter and for the game they never had a run of more than 14 yards.
''Defensively, (Georgia) is awfully big and awfully strong,'' Holtz said. ''The defensive line had a strong mismatch with our guards and that created a lot of problems. We couldn't get any rhythm going as far as running. There was no room for anything.''
Holtz, who is now 0-3 lifetime against Georgia, said recruiting some ''SEC-type'' offensive lineman would be a big priority next year, but right now he and the players know they have to go with what they've got.
''It's going to be a big challenge,'' said starting right tackle Melvin Paige, who added he would miss his bus back to Columbia if he had to chronicle the Gamecocks' offensive line injuries and problems. ''It's a tough situation, but if we don't do it, who will?''
It was another tough game for Petty and this time there wasn't a hurricane to blame. The sophomore did improve in his second career start -- last week he only completed four passes for 70 yards during the rainstorm in Raleigh -- but not by much.
Saturday Petty, who threw for 172 yards on 12 of 28 passing, was intercepted twice in the first half -- the first coming on the third play of the game when Bell picked off a ball that was tipped at the line by Marcus Stroud. The second proved more costly as it cut short the Gamecocks' best drive of the first half (eight plays, 52 yards) when Georgia's Cory Robinson intercepted a sideline pass at the South Carolina 15.
''I thought that interception was a real turning point,'' Holtz said. ''Even though they came down and we blocked a field goal, the interception shifted the momentum and field position.''
In the second half, South Carolina failed to get a first down on four of its first five possessions and at one point Holtz said considered taking Petty out because the offense lacked ''chemistry and enthusiasm'' -- but his assistant coach and son thought otherwise.
''I was inclined to go with a different quarterback to get a different rhythm,'' Holtz said. ''But Skip talked me out of it.''
After Petty led a seven-play, 80-yard drive (albeit with under four minutes left in the game), the former Notre Dame skipper was glad he stuck with the Boiling Springs, S.C., native.
The touchdown drive was South Carolina's first of the year and all 80 yards came through the air.
''Ending the scoring drought was a plus, I guess.'' Petty said. ''It's not a real good feeling to be honest with you. But we put the ball in the end zone and we can look at that as a positive for next week.''

Years ago, there was a day that Trevor Opfer was simply trying to mind his own business when his identical twin brother, Tanner, decided it would be fun to pester his sibling.
After a while, Trevor had had enough and took matters into his own hands.
"He kept bothering me and calling me names, so I fought back," Trevor said. "I hurt him pretty bad, with a black eye."
The Vandalia Field of Dreams committee and the Vandalia Park District last Thursday came to an agreement on renovating the backstop at the high school softball field, and made concrete agreements on several other issues at the park district meeting.
Despite claims from the park district board that the chain-link fence backstop is "in too good of shape" to tear down, the Field of Dreams committee gained permission to remove the fencing to build a brick backstop, and the park board also gave a $3,000 contribution to the project.
Blake Swofford won the Southern Illinois Golf Association's points championship and the tour's Player's Championship this summer.
The Vandalia High School junior easily won the points title, finishing with 177 points in the 16-18-year-old boys division. The second-place finisher had just 79.5.
At the SIGA Vogler Ford-Mazda Player's Championship, Swofford had his best performance of the summer, winning by three strokes and shooting a 1-under-par 71 at Rend Lake.
That win was Swofford's seventh in 13 summer tournaments.
Pitcher Justin Atwood was named the Most Valuable Player of the Vandalia's men's slo-pitch softball league after he helped Buckstop Archery to a 23-1 record and the league title.
Six other Buckstop players were also awarded.
The league wrapped up its regular season on Tuesday, and began a single-elimination tournament on Wednesday.
The finishing order of that tourney will determine the seeding of the end-of-season double elimination tournament that begins next Tuesday.
The busy fall sports season is nearly upon the seven area high schools, and practice for many teams opened last week.

Years from now, if he wanted to, Magnus Paajarvi could probably describe his first NHL goal as an end-to-end rush with a classic finish to the top corner.
By then, no one will remember it.
However, that's not how the Edmonton Oilers rookie plans to describe it.
"A greasy goal," said Paajarvi, following a 5-3 loss to the Calgary Flames on Saturday.
"Obviously you want to score as much as possible. It was a greasy one but everyone counts. It was nice to have it, but too bad it came in a loss."
At the time, Paajarvi's goal was the go-ahead marker, putting the Oilers up 3-2 in the second period. He was first to a loose puck sitting on the goal-line after Colin Fraser fired it out in front from the corner.
Paajarvi got more of the goal post than the puck as he whacked at it, but it was enough to get it just over the goal-line.
A video review was required to confirm the puck had crossed the line.
"We dumped the puck in and Fraser and (Ryan) Jones did a really good job of forechecking," Paajarvi said. "I got a little bit lucky, but I knew it was in for sure."
Paajarvi finished the contest with a goal and an assist. He picked up a helper on Ales Hemsky's opening goal of the contest in the first period. It was Paajarvi's first NHL point.
"I thought he (Paajarvi) was pretty good (Saturday)," said Oilers head coach Tom Renney. "He had an influence on the game, there's no question about that.
"He still has to work on getting pucks deep and managing the puck. This is the NHL and there's 3,000 less square feet of ice out there in North America than there is across the pond and we've got to make sure that pucks go to places where if we can't do something with it, then neither should they."
The Oilers first-round pick -- 10th overall -- in 2009, Paajarvi had struggled to find his way offensively early in the season after an impressive pre-season.
However, after scoring his first NHL goal on Saturday, the native of Norrkoping, Sweden, seemed to grow in stature and was more involved in the contest.
Yet the Oilers were still unable to hold off a hard-charging Flames team in the third period and conceded the tying and then winning goal in the frame.
"It wasn't anything that we weren't expecting," said Paajarvi. "We knew they were going to come hard. But the penalties killed us.
"It's not acceptable for us to lose the third period like that. We have to play smarter. I think we battled hard and we had a good effort, but it just didn't work out."
Late in the game with the Oilers looking for the tying goal, Renney sent his three rookies, Paajarvi, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle to look for it.
The Oilers were not able to tie the contest, although they did have a chance with the clock winding down.
"That's huge, you want to play at that time," Paajarvi said. "That shows that if you play well, you're going to get the confidence from your coach. So if you step it up, you're going to play at important times."
Despite having access to a number of veterans in the late stages of the contest, Renney felt it was a good opportunity for his rookies to earn valuable experience.
"There is a point and time when you have to bite your tongue and go with it," Renney said. "The learning curve does have to involve being put in tough situations and then dealing with it beyond that."

SCIENTISTS in Southampton have discovered what could lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of breast cancer.
Although in its early stages it is thought the pioneering research could have the potential to deliver a completely new kind of cancer drug, which could be available within ten years. The new drug is being described as a "potential lifeline" to those with the disease, and a real alternative to chemotherapy treatments but without the debilitating side effects.
The team led by Dr Jeremy Blaydes, from the University of Southampton, has found that by blocking certain proteins, they could stop breast cancer cells using sugar to fuel their growth.
Sugar is one of the key products needed by cancer cells to grow as they grab the substance from the blood and using it to fuel their development.
The breakthrough has been described as attacking the 'sweet tooth' of tumours and is being heralded as the basis of a new treatment for cases where a resistance to traditional chemotherapy treatment has built up.
Lead scientist Dr Jeremy Blaydes, from the University of Southampton, said: "Because this is an entirely new approach to treatment, the drugs we are developing could be effective against breast cancers that have become resistant to current chemotherapies.
"Unfortunately, despite great improvements in breast cancer treatment in recent years, chemotherapyresistance eventually happens in around one in five cases, and every year in the UK around 12,000 women still die from the disease. To overcome this resistance, innovative treatments that use new approaches to stop cancer from growing are desperately needed.'
"This work is at an early stage in the laboratory but it is really exciting as it has the potential to deliver a completely new kind of cancer drug, which could be available within 10 years."
The research is published in the August edition of the journal Chemical Science and is the culmination of Dr Blaydes research that began as an "inkling of an idea" in 1999.
Following the first of a number of grants which since have totalled just over £500,000, Dr Blaydes said he had a couple of eureka moments during his research.
Speaking about the moment tests showed the cancer cells were dying off after being injected with the compound Dr Blaydes said: "I just asked the student to do it again, and again and again until I thought 'hang on a minute, I think we have got something here'."
He also paid tribute to his colleague Dr Ali Tavassoli in the chemistry faculty along with his team Dr Charles Birts and Dr Sharandip Nijjar.
Dr Stuart Griffiths, research director at Breast Cancer Campaign, said: "For women whose breast cancer has become resistant to chemotherapy, this potential new treatment could offer a much-needed lifeline.
"Every year, thousands of women still die and millions are affected by breast cancer so we will continue to seek out world-class research, bringing the brightest minds together to share knowledge and produce better, quicker results."
The research was partly funded through Breast Cancer Campaign's partnership with supermarket chain Asda and its Tickled Pink campaign, Debenhams' Think Pink campaign and The Generations Walk.
IN breast cancer, the process involves certain proteins called CtBPs binding together to form pairs known as dimers. These, in turn, help the cells to multiply and proliferate.
Dr Blaydes' team, funded by the charity Breast Cancer Campaign, found that certain chemicals can block CtBPs and thus prevent the dimers forming.
The most successful of these 'blockers' is now being developed as a potential new breast cancer drug.
Dr Blaydes added: "What makes this discovery even more exciting as a potential treatment is that CtBPs are mostly only active in the cancer cells, so blocking this "sweet tooth" should cause less damage to normal cells and fewer side effects than existing treatments."
What happens now?
THE treatment that is being developed now has to be refined in order to turn it into something that can be given as a drug.
Following the publication of Dr Blaydes research it is likely a pharmaceutical company will become involved in the development of the drug.
Once manufactured the product then has to go through a series of drug trials before it is cleared to be prescribed to patients.

[1]Shares of Allscripts Health Solutions (NASDAQ:MDRX[2]) plunged about 16% in Thursday morning trading after the company announced that it had fired its CEO and is no longer seeking a buyer[3].
In regulatory filings, Allscripts said Glen Tullman, who had served as chief executive since the company's IPO in 1999, had been replaced by Paul Black, a former Cerner (NASDAQ:CERN[4]) executive, Bloomberg noted.
Along with its CEO, Allscripts also fired President Lee Shapiro, who'll continue as a consultant on a temporary basis.
In a statement, the company said its board had decided against selling and had opted instead to install a new management team. Allscripts had experienced difficulty after its 2010 acquisition of Eclipsys failed to produce the intended boost to its hospital technology sales.
Allscripts had received acquisition offers from several private equity firms, including Carlyle Group (NYSE:CG[5]) and Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX[6]), after losing a major hospital contract and facing a shareholder lawsuit earlier this year. It had retained Citigroup (NYSE:C[7]) to guide it through a potential sale.

A Cumberland, Md., man convicted of abusing a dog by wrapping duct tape around its muzzle was sentenced Friday to work in an animal shelter, the Cumberland Times-News reported.
The judge suspended two 90-day jail terms on the condition that Ricky Adams, 24, work 100 hours at the Allegany County Animal Shelter. Adams also was ordered to make restitution of about $1,400 to an animal hospital that treated the 10-month-old terrier.
Adams was convicted at a bench trial in November.
His attorney said Adams muzzled the dog in March to prevent it from biting. The dog was found outside the city eight days later.
Prosecutors dropped charges in September against a co-defendant, Frederick Lease, for lack of evidence.

The growth of the local-food movement and the infrastructure challenges that small farmers face drew the attention of Rep. Scott Tipton at a meeting with farmers on April 22.
The coordinator for LiveWell Montezuma, JoDee Powers, outlined the growth of the use of local food in local restaurants, schools and Southwest Memorial Hospital.
After consumer institutions start buying local food, they're hooked on the taste and the low rate of spoilage, and they don't want anything else, she said.
Vic Vanic, an owner of Four Seasons Greenhouse and Nursery, said he has sold 5,000 pounds of tomatoes since November.
Challenges that small farmers face include the lack of loans to expand and mechanize and a lack of labor, she said. Small farmers have trouble qualifying for Small Business Administration loans because of their limited size.
Safety regulations designed for large-scale agriculture are also prohibitive and restrictive.
There is also need for more storage and processing facilities in the area. For example, a plant that could flash-freeze vegetables for customers would allow farmers to sell product for use in the winter, Powers said.
Small farmers are tackling the lack of infrastructure by forming a distribution co-op to help cut the costs of delivery to buyers.
This is the co-op's first season, and as of the meeting with Tipton, it was still in the process of finding a location, said Vanic, a board member. "There is this momentum forward with such speed that we're just are all running on the treadmill trying to keep up and put something in place this season that can serve the market," said Gabe Eggers, a board member. Tipton offered to support the farmers as a member of the congressional Natural Resources, Agriculture and Small Business committees.
"What you're speaking to is incredibly important," Tipton said.

The HttpFileCollectionBase class is an abstract class that contains the same members as the HttpFileCollection class. The HttpFileCollectionBase class lets you create derived classes that are like the HttpFileCollection class, but that you can customize and that work outside the ASP.NET pipeline. When you perform unit testing, you typically use a derived class to implement members with customized behavior that fulfills the scenario that you are testing.
The HttpFileCollectionWrapper class derives from the HttpFileCollectionBase class. The HttpFileCollectionWrapper class serves as a wrapper for the HttpFileCollection class. At run time, you typically use an instance of the HttpFileCollectionWrapper class to call members of the HttpFileCollection object.

Darien officer resigns
Officer Chet Wilson filed his letter of resignation Oct. 2, Administrator Marc Dennison said. His last day of work will be Friday, Oct. 16, Dennison said.
Dennison said it will be up to the village�s police committee to start the discussion about replacing Wilson. The committee next meets Wednesday, Oct. 14.
Wilson�s letter of resignation says he accepted a full-time officer position in another department.
�This was not an easy decision to make,� the letter reads. �The past seven years have been very rewarding. I�ve enjoyed serving the residents of Darien and making the village a safe place to live.�
Wilson has worked at the department since June 2002, Dennison said. He worked part-time for two months before becoming a full-time officer.
The village already has been short one full-time person since December when Chief Steve DeVoy was suspended with pay. The village board in March voted to start the process to fire DeVoy, but a hearing still is pending that could fire the chief or bring him back to work.
The hearing is scheduled for Nov. 16. In the meantime, a motion to enforce a settlement between the village and DeVoy is pending.
In September, DeVoy agreed to a settlement written by his attorney and the village attorney. But the village board Sept. 21 voted against the settlement.
DeVoy�s attorney, Tom Halloran, contends the settlement offer was a binding contract that the board broke when it voted against the settlement.

Get email delivery of the Cadence blog featured here
At the upcoming DVCon (in San Jose, CA February 25-28), Cadence will cover all aspects of our verification technologies and methodologies (full list of Cadence-sponsored events is here). However, Team Verify would like to alert users of Cadence Incisive formal and multi-engine tools, apps, and assertion-based verification (ABV) to the following papers and posters focused on this domain.
* Session 2, Tuesday Feb. 26, 9-10:30am features two papers:
Paper 2.1, "Overcoming AXI Asynchronous Bridge Verification Challenges with AXI Assertion-Based Verification IP (ABVIP) and Formal Datapath Scoreboards". Speaker: Chris Komar of Cadence; Authors: Bochra Elmeray - ST-Ericsson and Joerg Mueller of CadencePaper 2.3, "How to Succeed Against Increasing Pressure - Automated Techniques for Unburdening Verification Engineers". Speaker: James S. Pascoe - STMicroelectronics; Authors: James S. Pascoe - STMicroelectronics, Steve Hobbs - Cadence, Pierre Kuhn - STMicroelectronics. (Note: while it's not clear from the title, this paper covers the "Coverage Unreachablity" app running on Incisive Enterprise Verifier (IEV) - more on this "app" below.)
* Session 3, Tuesday Feb. 26, 9-10:30am (Unfortunately a conflict with paper 2.1 - flip a coin?)
Paper 3.1, "How to Kill 4 Birds with 1 Stone: In a Highly Configurable Design Using Formal to Validate Legal Configurations, Find Design Bugs, and Improve Testbench and Software Specifications"Speaker: Saurabh Shrivastava - Xilinx, Inc.; Authors: Saurabh Shrivastava, Kavita Dangi, Mukesh Sharma - Xilinx, Inc, Darrow Chu - Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
* Poster session on Tuesday from 10:30-11:30am
1P.6, "A Reusable, Scalable Formal App for Verifying any Configuration of 3D IC Connectivity" Speaker: Daniel Han - Xilinx, Inc., Authors: Daniel Han, Walter Sze, Benjamin Ting - Xilinx, Inc., Darrow Chu - Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
(Ed. Note.: the best part about the poster session is you can easily interact with the authors - asking them questions on the fly in a way that would be awkward if they were presenting the paper in a lecture format.)
* The Cadence booth at the free expo on Tuesday & Wednesday Feb. 26-27, 3:30- 6:30pm each day
Among the other demos available, Team Verify experts will be on hand to show you our Coverage Unreachability app, one of a number of free apps available to users of IFV and IEV. [Ed. Note.: What do we mean by the term "app" in this context? Verification apps in general put the focus on "problems vs. EDA technology" such that a verification app is a well-documented tool capability or methodology focused on a specific, high-value problem. In this instance - with IFV or IEV as the platform -- the given problem is more efficiently solved using formal-based methods and/or a combination of formal, simulation, and metric-driven techniques than simulation-based methods alone. Finally, the barrier to creating the necessary properties and/or the need for ABV expertise is significantly reduced through either automated property generation built-in to the tool(s) or pre-packaged properties (provided).]
* Bonus: A free lunch on "Best Practices in Verification Planning" Wednesday Feb. 27!
On the Wednesday of DVCon Cadence is hosting an expert panel on "Best Practices in Verification Planning". Panel moderator and R&D Fellow Mike Stellfox will kickoff this important discussion on how creating and executing effective verification plans can be a challenging mix of art and science that can go sideways despite the best efforts of engineers and managers. Note that this won't be confined to RTL verification planning only -- the panel also includes experts on analog-mixed signal verification and formal analysis. Specifically, the CEO of long time Cadence partner Oski Technology, Vigyan Singhal, will be on the panel to share how advanced planning can greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of formal analysis and ABV. (Recall that at the last DAC Vigyan's team successfully verified a sight unseen DUT from NVIDIA in 72 hours. The key their success was resisting the enormous temptation to jump in and start running IEV, and instead taking a whole evening to thoroughly understand the design and scope out the most critical areas for analysis.)We look forward to seeing you in-person soon!

The night before first-time director Jacob Wiebe started production on his short film
The Ballerina, he was knee deep in garbage. In the flurry of preparations ahead of shooting, the corset worn by the main character in his film had been mistakenly thrown out with the trash and promptly driven to a Toronto landfill.
Running on just a few hours of sleep and surrounded by bewildered garbage workers, Wiebe and the film's co-producer George Petrovic were going through the trash at 2 a.m. when the latter let out a massive yell.
"I look over my shoulder, and he's holding the corset up above his head, like Conan the Barbarian with his sword raised," says Wiebe. "Just elated, surrounded by trash and flies and all the garbage men, their minds blown … I don't know what cinema gods were smiling on us that night."
If there are, indeed, film deities looking over independent filmmakers, they haven't always been so kind to the team behind the sci-fi short. A year and a half in the making,
The Ballerinahas come to embody many of the challenges faced by independent filmmakers in Canada whose visions are often confined by shoestring budgets.
"Because most Canadian short films are pretty low-budget, and sometimes it shows in the production, we kind of wanted to do something that was really good-looking," Petrovic says. "Hollywood-quality stuff on a super tight budget."
A budget of merely $6,000, to be clear. And for Petrovic, who wanted to do more than film two people in a room with a handy cam, that simply wasn't enough.
The film tells the story of Earth's lone survivor living on a distant planet who, one day, is visited by a curious alien. Considering the set was to reflect
District 9and feature a fully computer-generated creature, the filmmakers would need external funding to realize their vision.
"It was hard making those connections, meeting people, selling them on the project, getting them really involved and really passionate about it," Petrovic says.
Somehow, Petrovic and co-producer Charles Smith pulled it off. Everything from the $250,000 RED camera (donated by local cinematographer
But the
Ballerinateam was not spared the hardships that plague filmmakers. Two weeks prior to shooting, the Bloor and Landsdowne space that would house their set flooded after an unusual amount of rainfall in the city. While such a disaster would have been surmountable for a large production, it's the kind of thing that can put the kibosh on an independent film.
"Usually on productions, if your warehouse or studio gets flooded, you have insurance, or you have rain days, or you have more money to throw out another location," said Petrovic. "But we were on such a tight budget that we had to work so hard to make sure everything worked out because there was no other choice."
Petrovic visited at least 30 locations until finding an alternative, an East York warehouse.
Once pre-production was complete, filming took only three days. The team now faces at least seven months of post-production where they'll be rendering the creature's entire body from scratch using Wiebe's intricate designs.
For Justin Steele, the film's visual effects supervisor, the budget behind
The Ballerinais a lot tighter than the corporate documentaries he's used to. But that doesn't seem to faze him.
"I find it quite liberating, because when you're put in a box, you have to figure out creative solutions to think outside of that box," he says. "One thing I think
Ballerinahas taught the entire crew is how far you can push the conventional limits of filmmaking while filming state-of-the-art and trying hard to get a compelling story across."
Now preparing to embark on post-production, Petrovic is just grateful to have come this far. This time next year, the producer hopes
The Ballerinawill be on the festival circuit, and maybe even inspiring other Canadian independent filmmakers.
"[I want to show them] you can achieve this crazy stuff that they're doing in Hollywood in Toronto on a small scale and have it look amazing," he says. "I hope it's inspiring to other filmmakers to be able to push those boundaries that, when you say low-budget indie Canadian short films, maybe [we're] redefining what that is."

15 Tasting Notes
I was introduced to this tea two days ago. I haven't seen any weight loss yet, but I am praying to the tea gods.
This is a wonderful smelling tea with the hint of peach it's quite heavenly smelling. I did some research on this tea and apparently it has more health benefits than regular green tea and without the caffeine!
Even though I am not caffeine sensitive, it would be a good tea if you are. I just may start my morning with this tea instead of my usual black tea choice.
Just an FYI, it has more caffeine that green tea and I'm pretty sure it has more than the average black tea as well. Teaopia likes to make this claim that it has "mateine", but that's only another word for caffeine and is chemically identical. However, Mate is still healthier than coffee because of all the nutrients in it.
If you like Earl Grey tea, you must try this tea. The smell is intoxicating. I do add milk to the tea though, it's the only one that I add milk to. I just love the creamy taste, it's a very smooth taste. For all you Earl Grey drinkers out there this is a must!
This is one of my favorite teas. I prefer to drink this tea first thing in the morning, the nutty undertones and the smell of freshly popped popcorn always make me hungry. I usually brew a whole pot which leads to numerous potty breaks but it's so worth it!
I tried this tea recently and I can't complain. The lady at the store did suggest I drink this tea at night and steep it for 7-10 min. Glad, I took her advice for when I woke up… well… need I say more? I enjoy the taste of this tea, but I do agree with the other reviewer that the taste does have a "grassy" taste to it but for me it's a taste that I am quite familiar with. Other cleansing teas that I have tried have a similar taste. Enjoy!

Go on bowl me over....
But that got me wondering, what sort of bowls should I get the dogs next?
We're often doing feeding trials here so they tend to get snapped for the magazine (and snapped in real life when I trip over a discarded school shoe!)
With sadly no New York shopping sprees on the horizon, I'm asking you to be my eyes and ears in the world of doggie fashion.
What do you think is the most desirable super bowl of the moment?
Practicality must score high (dishwasher friendly please!) and ideally I need two bowls sufficiently different so I can work out which one belongs to each dog. Current bowls were particularly annoying in the dishwasher as no matter which way up you put them they always attracted a reservoir of yukky dishwasher water when you opened the door!
Send me your best spots and why you like them and we'll put a page in the mag! Maybe you can send me a pic of your bowl, in your kitchen with your dog and also tell me what you feed!
Any dreamy manufacturers - why not send me your most gorgeous bowls so I can test them out and photograph them! (Why not - there has to be some perks to being a dog mag editor - imagine if I was editing Grazia, I'd have a dozen handbags and a closet full of designer labels!)
If you've got pix mail me your bowl reports to firstname.lastname@example.com so I can post them on the blog for others to see. Or just comments with links and pass on this request to anyone in the world who might have seen a gorgeous bowl!
Hi Beverley
We use stainless steel bowls but do end up collecting unusual ones from car boot sales, charity shops etc. This lovely bowl was bought at a charity stall at a dog show. It is heavy and 'classy'. We also have a few others including a nice deep blue one with the word WATER impressed into its side. Some of them have interesting makers marks too. We just loved the words 'all gone' in the centre of this one though.

I don't use a dishwasher, but like you I hate the bowls that don't drain because no matter what way up they go on the draining board there's always a little puddle of water that doesn't drain out.
I've got quite a collection of bowls (I'm not even sure where they all came from), most of them are just plains one with no chance of water gathering in the underneath.
My favourite is a ceramic bowl with the words "no matter the weather, wind, rain, sun, snow, side by side we will stride, walking together through field and forest, my companion and friend." which is the reason I bought it!
At the moment Fred is using a brake-fast type bowl which is extremely ugly, but does the job.
Beauty is limited to stainless steel bowls as she uses a raised stand. I haven't seen one that doesn't use these bowls!
I'll try to get some photos at breakfast time.

I think these are totally gorgeous - we've got two spaniel bowls, dishwasher proof and stylish.
- 30 January 2010 at 09:50
why not just use normal hygenic and last a life time steel dog bowls!! if confused which one is which get the dogs named engraved on them (a few pounds at most, includingthe DOB is a nice touch), as for the dishwasher, hardly eco friendly is it!!
- 30 January 2010 at 15:40
I was actually delighted to learn that, used correctly, a dishwasher is MORE environmentally friendly than washing by hand! I have small dogs, and they eat off a mixture of ceramic bowls from IKEA, Spode, Wedgwood, etc - my sister lives in the Potteries, and until all the ceramic companies recently closed down, undecorated seconds were extremely inexpensive. Most dog bowls are too big for my toy dogs - and I agree about the non-draining design! Stainless steel would be sensible, but with two cats and two dogs, all fed twice a day, the ones I have were a lot cheaper.
- 30 January 2010 at 18:01
plastic and china bowls once broken will likely contribute to more landfill, as for china being cheaper, i am sure they arnt over a life time of a dog as any will broken or chipped (harbouring bugs leading to tummy upsets and big vet bills. some of my old steel bowls still in A1 condition after 40 years of use. As for dishwashers being more enviromentally friendly only the most modern of machines (less than 5 years old) are that heat less water and if ou dont use the full rinse programm and notthe drying programm and only if you use them with a FULL load! and to be honest hate that chemical smell they leave and so do my dogs

These Italian designed polypropylene bowls are absolutely crunch proof and the award winning luxury designer bowls are beautiful and sturdy http://www.dfordog.co.uk/acatalog/dog_food_water_bowls.html
The Eat Better Bowl is designed to slow down a fast eater. I use one of these on my dog Berkeley http://www.dfordog.co.uk/acatalog/ergonomic_dog_bowls.html
For rustic chic try these made to order feeders which can be finished in almost any colour to compliment your kitchen http://www.dfordog.co.uk/acatalog/raised_dog_feeders.html
For the real wow factor, I highly recommend these Acrylic raised feeders http://www.dfordog.co.uk/acatalog/raised_dog_feeding_bowl.html

The Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot dog bowls have been on my wish list for a long time! These can be personalised if you wish - otherwise they have Good Dog written on them. In the meantime, I use the brown Mason & Cash vitrified enamel bowls. I like these because they don't move around or tip over as the dog is extracting the last few crumbs - and they are dishwasher-safe. I have been using the same ones for over 10 years now.
- 31 January 2010 at 15:23
Think money better spent one good metal bowl and the extra you saved that you would of spent for a designer name could be given to a local rescue centre of the dogs trust, surly the thought your dogs dinner bowl helped to fill up one of an unwanted dog much better, than any silly colour or design that really panders to you needs and not your dogs!

Just to warn everyone, I stoped using ceramic dog dishes some years ago, one of my girls (Dalmatian so very bouncy) jumped up & landed with her hock hiting the dish, result was a VERY nasty gash needing 5 stiches, wont let that happen again!!
- 2 February 2010 at 22:24
I use stainless steel for my two boys. They're not very attractive but wash well and for the few seconds they are chased round the floor, it's ok. They certainly don't care. I looked at the crock ones for the weight but just know that it will be only a short time until one of us, be it four legs or two, that ends up breaking it - so it's not worth the risk.

Forest Lake Students Help Senator Fuschillo Collect Cell Phones for Soldiers
Students at Forest Lake Elementary School in Wantagh recently helped Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) collect cell phones to benefit soldiers serving overseas. Senator Fuschillo visited the school to personally thank the students for participating in his "Cell Phones for Soldiers" program.
"Forest Lake's students will really make a difference in the lives of the men and women serving our country overseas. Each cell phone they collected will help bring American servicemen and women closer to home while they're serving abroad. I thank them for participating in this program and congratulate them on doing such a great job," said Senator Fuschillo.
Senator Fuschillo's "Cell Phones for Soldiers" program collects old or unwanted cell phones to benefit American troops serving overseas. Residents can donate any hand-held cell phone to the program, even if it no longer works. All phones collected through the program will be sent to ReCellular, a cell phone recycling company, which will pay a donation to the "Cell Phone for Soldiers" program for each donated phone. The proceeds raised are used to purchase calling cards for overseas soldiers to call their loved ones back home. Over 1,000 cell phones have already been collected through the program this year.
Senator Fuschillo (center) is pictured with teachers Coleen Nicolosi (fourth left) and Susan Burdick (fifth left) and students (l-r) Joe Piscopo (seated), Liam Garrity, Sean Curtis, Sean Cunnane, Brian Frank, Justina Scibeli, Courtney Gubista, and Kayla Rende with some of the phones they collected for the "Cell Phones for Soldiers" program.

BOSTON, July 18 (UPI) -- Jon Lester allowed one hit over eight scoreless innings Tuesday to remain unbeaten in his major league career as the Boston Red Sox edged Kansas City, 1-0.
Alex Gonzalez drove in the game's only run.
Lester (5-0) gave up only a single to Mark Teahen in the second inning. The 22-year-old left-hander walked four and struck out four. He became the first Red Sox rookie starter to win his first five decisions since Aaron Sele won his first six decisions in 1993.
Jonathan Papelbon retired the side in order in the ninth inning for his 28th save to complete the one-hitter and boost the AL East-leading Red Sox to their second straight one-run victory.
It marked the first one-hitter for Boston since May 25, 2001 when Hideo Nomo did that against Toronto.

Dear Friends,
With great joy I greet you all and I thank you for the warm welcome you have accorded me. After the wonderful meetings that took place in Berlin and Erfurt, I am happy now that I can be here in Freiburg with you, in the warm sunlight. A special word of thanks goes to your dear Archbishop Robert Zollitsch for the invitation – he was so insistent that in the end I had to say, I really must come to Freiburg – and for his gracious words of welcome.
"Where God is, there is a future", as the motto of these days reminds us. As the Successor of Saint Peter, who was commissioned by the Lord in the Upper Room to strengthen his brethren (cf. Lk 22:32), I have come gladly to you, to this beautiful city, in order to pray together with you, to proclaim the word of God and together to celebrate the Eucharist. I ask for your prayers, that these days will be fruitful, that God will deepen our faith, strengthen our hope and increase our love. During these days, may we become aware once more how much God loves us and that he is truly good. And so we must be full of confidence that he is good to us, that he has power for good, that he carries us and all our cares and concerns in his hands. And we want to place all this consciously into his hands. In him our future is assured: he gives meaning to our lives and he can bring them to fulfilment. May the Lord accompany you in peace and make us all messengers of his peace! Thank you very much for your welcome!
