The Season Gets Glowing / from tapers to tea lights, candles make the holidays bright
When it comes to decorating, it's time to light up. And you
don't have to flip a switch or plug anything in. Candles are nice in any
season, but they can add an especially warm and festive glow to the holidays.
Susan Pepper knows this. The Valley Stream mother of three relaxes after a
hectic day with the soothing aromas of scented candles - raspberry, honeydew,
vanilla and ocean mist are among her favorites. She has the perfect job for a
candle aficionado. She's a consultant for PartyLite, a candle company based in
Massachusetts. "When I come home and I light my three- wick candles, I could
melt like the candle," she says. "It soothes me. They light up the house and
they smell good."
But at this time of the year, as Hanukkah draws near, Pepper admits she
goes a little crazy with candles - particularly in the blue and white motif
that reflects the flag of Israel. Tapers and tea lights on the tables. Votives
on the windowsills. Big candles, little candles. Candles in stands and candles
in sconces. Candles in the fireplace, candles on the mantel.
Candles, says interior designer Lynn Gerhard, are "like twinkling stars in
the night sky. I love the ambience they add to a room. And I happen to think
that little bit of sparkle adds energy to the room." She uses candles in her
own home in Islip.
"I like to use a lot of candles on the mantel in front of the mirror so it
looks like you have even more lights flickering," says Gerhard. "I put them on
the stoop and the walkway for people coming in. It's a very festive feeling."
That feeling may have something to do with the popularity of candles at
holiday time. Without a doubt, this season "is by far the busiest time of
year," says Susan Stockman, director of public relations for Yankee Candle, in
South Deerfield, Mass.
"There's something primal about candles," says Bob Sherman, a 30-year
veteran in the candle business who owns Bobby's Craft Boutique in Williston
Park and hosts the candle and soap-making discussion on www.about.com.
Gerhard agrees. "There's a sense of history that goes along with lighting
candles," she says. "People lived only by candlelight for a very long time. It
brings us back to our roots."
"If you think about it, we celebrate all of life's passages with candles,"
says Lyn Peterson, author of Lyn Peterson's Real Life Decorating (Creative
Homeowner Press, $21.95) and a consultant to the National Candle Association in
Washington, D.C. "Candles are the perfect way to combine tradition with the
newest trends. They come in an almost infinite variety of up-to-the-minute
colors and designs, while also capturing the traditional spirit." One of her
suggestions is to jazz things up with bold contemporary hues such as plum,
berry and fuschia. Or tweak the classic Christmas palette by using apple green
and lipstick red.
But whatever your traditions or color scheme, candles can light up your
decor and warm your holidays. Susan Goffman sticks with neutral tones, like
cream and white, to dress up the dining room buffet in her Sands Point home.
Then she adds a splash of seasonal color - surrounding the candles with
cranberries and pinecones. She uses candelabra instead of overhead lighting for
ambience and mirrors as place mats to reflect the shimmering light. "I like
the luminescence, the reflection," she says.
As Pepper and Goffman can attest, decorating with candles is as easy as
mixing and matching colors, sizes and shapes. Candles know no boundaries - you
can use them in the bedroom, bath or kitchen - as long as you keep safety in
mind. Fragrant candles in the foyer offer a sweet welcome to family and
friends, and the scents of pine, cranberry, juniper or gingerbread are just the
thing to make your home feel cozy during the cold winter.
Here are some ideas for using candles to add sparkle to your home this
season. But once again, remember to play it safe:
Make a shimmering centerpiece with pillar candles of varying heights on a
pretty tray or platter.
Frame classic red and green candles with a Christmas wreath laid flat on a
Place candy-cane-striped candles on a silver tray or mirror and circle them
with red pepperberries and holly leaves.
Tie a green or red satin ribbon around the base of a candlestick and let
the ends cascade onto the mantel or table.
Decorate gold, white and silver candles with costume jewelry. Surround the
base of a candle with rhinestones and crystals, or wrap the candle with a
string of fake pearls.
Create a Mexican-inspired look with terra-cotta candles displayed in
punched tin holders, or use rustic wooden candlesticks and chile-pepper wreaths.
Make a reflecting-pool centerpiece by filling a large bowl with floating
candles. Surround the bowl with holly or pillar candles.
Spell out "joy" or "peace" or any holiday wish using clear glass votive
Place a dozen white pillar candles on bricks set at different heights to
replace the glow of burning embers in the fireplace.
Line your walkway, patio or front porch with luminarias - special paper
bags with cut-out shapes that are highlighted by the candles' glow.
Debbe Geiger is a freelance writer.
Candles are a fire hazard only if used improperly. The National Candle
Association offers these safety tips:
Keep burning candles away from flammable objects, including other
Keep burning candles within sight, and out of reach of
children and pets.
Trim candlewicks to � inch before lighting. Long or crooked wicks cause
uneven burning and dripping. Put matches away.
Burn candles in well-
ventilated rooms, but avoid placing them near open windows or drafts.
Place candles on heat-
resistant surfaces designed for candle use. Make sure the holder is large
enough to catch dripping wax.
Retire votives and other candles in containers when � inch of unmelted wax
remains. Blow out tapers and pillars when they're within 2 inches of the tops
of their holders.
Position candles at least 3 inches apart.
Extinguish candles with a snuffer or candle quencher so hot wax doesn't
splatter. Never use water.

Glasgow is gearing up for what it hopes will be an unforgettable games. In athletics major championships become truly special when records are broken or even better shattered.
Everyone remembers the 2009 Athletics World Championships in Berlin; not because of mascot Berlino the Bear but rather as the competition and the track where the fastest ever 100 and 200metre times were recorded.
Similarly, many will remember London 2012 as being the place David Rudisha became the first man to finally run under 1:41:00 minutes seconds for an 800metres. Another example is Jonathan Edwards' unbelievable world record jump of 18.29metres in the triple jump in Gothenburg back in 1995 (a record which still stands today).
Loading article content
Needless to say I could go on.
If a record is broken, automatically an extra bit of history is created and that very moment will forever be associated with the location in which it took place.
With a number of high profile athletes attending the Glasgow games, and some to yet confirm their attendance - there could be numerous Commonwealth records that fall.
A record is something everyone involved in a major competition wants; the athletes, organisers and also the spectators. Glasgow 2014 is no different and all of the above will be hoping that records will be broken.
So what Commonwealth records are most likely to fall at Hampden?
Will the Pryce be right?
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has an extremely impressive record in major championships and is the current multiple Olympic and World Champion. She also got her season off to an impressive start with victory in the opening Diamond League meeting in Doha.
Like her compatriot Usain Bolt, the Jamaican pocket rocket has never competed in a Commonwealth Games and will make her debut in Glasgow.
She is a strong favourite to pick up gold in the 100 and 200 metres but she also has the ability to beat Debbie Ferguson's record of 10.91seconds.
Fraser-Pryce has a personal best of 10.70 and with Nigeria's Olympic bronze medallist Blessing Okagbare pushing her all the way, there is a distinct possibility that Bahamian Ferguson's record could be under threat.
Of course for sprinting a lot can depend on conditions and the speed of the track.
However, we will know prior to the games what times athletes are capable of doing on the Hampden track after the Diamond League Grand Prix event takes place there.
New record anything but a 'long' shot
Greg Rutherford recently broke the British long jump record with an impressive leap of 8.51metres.
However this has been the subject of controversy with pictures apparently showing the jump was a foul and that his foot was over the board. That said, the record still stands, much to the annoyance of Rutherford's long jumping rival Chris Tomlinson.
Controversy aside, the Olympic champion has a great opportunity to add his name to the history books and smash the Commonwealth record.
The current record stands at 8.39metres and is held by Nigerian Yusuf Alli. There are a number of competitors who have the potential to beat the record; that includes the enigmatic Tomlinson who on his day can produce 8metre plus jumps.
Conversely, it is Rutherford who seems to be in good form coming into the outdoor season and he will know that he has a great chance to add not only a medal but a Commonwealth record to his collection.
Rapid Rudisha looks for another record
There is no doubting that if David Rudisha is fit and healthy and competing in Glasgow that there is a strong chance Japheth Kimutai's Commonwealth 800metre record could be in danger.
Rudisha could potentially make easy work of his fellow countryman's record which stands at 1:43:82 minutes.
The main issue is the world record holder and Olympic champion has not competed since last June due to injury. If he gets races under his belt and has some strong showings prior to the games he will most likely be favourite to win and to break the record.
However, whether he will be fit enough unfortunately remains to be seen.
New record may not be too 'steep' an ask
The steeplechase may not be the most glamorous event, but interest will automatically be increased as a result of Eilish McColgan's participation.
There is the potential for three Kenyan athletes to break the current Commonwealth record.
Purity Kirui, Milcah Chemos and Lidya Chepkurui all have personal bests which are faster than the current record; held by Uganda's Dorcas Inzikuru, at 9:19:51 minutes.
Races can transpire where athletes from the same country will have a strategy between them; this can be as much of a help as it is a hindrance,
Much is also dependent on the type of race that takes place. If someone goes out hard and goes through the first kilometre at a quick pace then a Commonwealth record could be on the cards.
On the contrary, many distance finals we have seen throughout history are strategic affairs with a burn up on the last lap. The latter certainly results in excitement but not records being broken.
This is definitely an event to keep an eye on.
One last Bolt from the Blue?
Although he is now 27-years-old, the big Jamaican and face of world athletics has an opportunity to beat the Commonwealth 100metre record.
Bolt has amazingly never competed in a Commonwealth Games before, with injury forcing him to miss 2006 and London 2012 preparation taking priority in 2010.
The current record set by Ato Boldon in 1998 stands at 9.88seconds, a time that poses little challenge to an in-form Bolt. If the Jamaican is fit and competes, I would be very surprised if the record was not broken. That is if the Jamaican runs in Glasgow (he says he is 95% sure that he is).
For a man who is considered the greatest of all time and holds the world record (9.58seconds), this time should pose little challenge.
Interestingly, the fact that a time of 9.88seconds has lasted over 15 years, when the 100metres as an event has evolved significantly, only highlights the dominance that countries outside the Commonwealth had in sprint events prior to Bolt and the Jamaican revolution.

What is the structure of the EEB curriculum?
The EEB curriculum was designed to provide breadth and depth in both theoretical/conceptual issues and organismal biology. Although there are a number of possible "tracks" to follow (e.g., plant ecology, evolutionary genetics, animal behavior, marine ecology, vertebrate morphology, etc.) there is a general plan that makes the most of the curriculum.
At the entry level (sophomore/junior) are a set of courses about organisms: plant diversity, invertebrate zoology, and insect biology. At the same level are a group of "core" concepts courses: genetics, evolution, ecology, behavior, comparative morphology, and conservation biology. All of the 100 level courses (except Bio 188) are designed to build on one or more of the core and organismal level courses.
Given the background in theory and a perspective on organismal diversity and design, one can move to a pretty high level of study. Our 100 level courses are basically graduate level courses offered to advanced undergraduates. They cover a variety of topics and some include field or lab work. However, they also overlap in the basic skills they are designed to impart.
The following table summarizes the parts of the EEB curriculum:
Organism Courses
Concepts Courses
|BIOL0410- Invertebrate Zoology (F)
|BIOL0420 - Ecology (S)
|BIOL0430 -Diversity & Adaptation of Seed Plants (F)
|BIOL0470 - Genetics (F)
|BIOL0460 - Insect Biology (S)
|BIOL0480 - Evolutionary Biology (F)
|BIOL1880 - Comparative Biology of Vertebrates (S)
|BIOL1880 - Comparative Biology of Vertebrates (S)
Advanced Courses
|BIOL1410 - Evolutionary Genetics (S)
|BIOL1420 - Experimental Design in Ecology (F)
|BIOL1430 - Problems in Field Biology (F)
|BIOL1440 - Marine Ecology (S)
|BIOL1450 (ES 145) - Ecosystem Analysis (F)
|BIOL0420, ES 12 and CH 21, 31 or GE 22.
|BIOL1480 - Evolutionary Ecology (S)
|BIOL0480 or BIOL0420 - rec. M 9
|BIOL1500 - Plant Ecology (S)
|BIOL420.- rec. BIOL0430 and BIOL0440.
Who is the EEB curriculum aimed at?
While clearly designed to provide biology concentrators with the breadth and depth for graduate work in ecology and evolutionary biology, we have also structured the curriculum to provide a variety of educational opportunities. Students concentrating in environmental sciences, environmental studies, psychology, neurobiology, applied math, geology will find background and supporting courses here. For example, Bio 42 (ecology) is often taken by geology, ES and applied math concentrators; and Bio 45 (behavior) is often taken by psychology and neurobiology concentrators.
Our courses are also popular with students intending to go on in teaching at the K-12 level. Much of the material in our courses can be made easily accessible at these levels and we have had many productive interactions with students preparing for teaching careers.
Finally, many of our courses at the "40" level are accessible to students with minimal high school background in science. We consider it an essential part of our curriculum that "non-concentrators" have access to the information and ways of thinking in EEB.

GAINESVILLE -- Five seasons after she won it all at Purdue, then left the college game altogether, coach Carolyn Peck is back in the NCAA tournament.
She's the coach at Florida now, rebuilding a Gators team that went 9-19 last season, but now finds itself seeded fifth in the Midwest Regional, with an opening game Saturday against New Mexico.
The game is in Albuquerque, N.M., the raucous home of the Lobos. A daunting task? Yes, but Peck has thrived under more difficult circumstances.
In 1999, her second year at Purdue, she led the Boilermakers to the national championship despite entering the season as a lame-duck coach, having accepted a front-office and coaching job with the Orlando Miracle of the WNBA the previous summer.
The key to her success back then came courtesy of lessons learned as an assistant to Tennessee coach Pat Summitt and Nell Fortner, who left Purdue to coach the U.S. national team, which opened the door for Peck to take over.
"It's staying very focused on one possession at a time," Peck said. "You don't put too much emphasis on what this game means. You don't put too much emphasis on the fact that if you don't win, you go home. The teams that do that are the ones that have longevity in the tournament."
Peck should know. The 6-foot-4 former center at Vanderbilt went 57-11 as coach at Purdue. In her first season, she led the Boilermakers to the regional finals. In her second, the championship year, she was named Associated Press Coach of the Year.
Her three seasons in Orlando were mediocre, but it didn't deter athletic director Jeremy Foley when he decided it was time for a change. Only eight active coaches have won the women's NCAA championship, and Peck is one of them.
Peck gets lots of credit for the quick turnaround from last year. Another key factor is the return to health of center Vanessa Hayden. Hayden missed a big chunk of last season with a broken leg. This season, she has averaged 19.3 points and 10.7 rebounds.
Hayden was a first-team Southeastern Conference selection and the SEC defensive player of the year. Those were two of 12 honors and awards she received this season.
"It is an honor to get all these awards," Hayden said. "I'm just going to keep playing. It does help me out and gives me a lot of confidence."
Although Florida would have to be considered a major longshot in a sport in which three or four teams -- starting with Tennessee and Connecticut -- dominate, Peck's presence is changing the attitude a bit.
The Gators weren't expected to do much this season. Slowly, however, they started turning things around. The highlight of the season: a 10-point win at ninth-ranked Georgia on Feb. 26. They finished 18-10.
Peck views that game as proof that Florida can hang with anyone, in any arena. It will be tested against New Mexico (23-7), where a big crowd will be in The Pit cheering against Florida.
"One thing I do know is the floor is 94 feet long and the goals are 10 feet high," Peck said. "To be successful in the tournament, you've got to learn to put all that other stuff aside."

If you've every had a poison ivy rash as a child, you'll remember being covered in pink calamine lotion. What many people don't know is that it can also bring relief to eczema sufferers. Of course, it isn't something you're going to wear in public, you'll need a shielding lotion for an eczema treatment that doesn't make you look like a slightly pink ghost, but it has a cooling affect and can help reduce the itching.
How does calamine lotion work? Its primary ingredients are zinc oxide and ferrous (iron) oxide. The ferrous oxide is an inactive ingredient and is a black powder. Zinc oxide is a white or yellowish powder. How these two ingredients result in "calamine pink" is a mystery only your pharmacist can reveal. However, that aside, zinc oxide has several properties which make it useful for certain skin conditions, including eczema; it is antiseptic and astringent, it absorbs moisture, which makes it particularly good for severe eczema with weeping sores and, as it's not water soluble, it will keep the skin dry when exposed to alkaline liquids – which is why it's used for diaper rash. It also absorbs ultraviolet light, both UVA and UVB, and is therefore frequently included in the ingredients of sunblock products.
Internally, zinc supports the immune system and is an essential trace mineral used by hundreds of enzymes.
Effective though they may be, in high dosages both zinc oxide and ferrous oxide are toxic through skin contact and when inhaled. Inhalation of zinc oxide affects the nervous system and toxicity is a common enough occurrence to have its own named disorders – "oxide shakes" and "zinc chills". For this reason, it is recommended that zinc oxide be used in a well-ventilated room. Given the possibility of toxicity, it is wise to use calamine lotion for only a limited time.
If you're still using calamine lotion, you may want to try switching to shielding lotion, at least when you're out in public. Eczema is often caused by dry skin that is further irritated by exposure to toxic chemicals. A good shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a protective layer that keeps those chemicals out, keeps the moisture in and allows the eczema to heal. However, if you're attached to calamine pink you may be disappointed – shielding lotion goes on clear and colorless.

USANA Health Sciences, a global nutritional company, has announced American that Sloane Stephens will be its newest brand ambassador. The 19-year-old American will represent the international company alongside fellow WTA athletes and current USANA ambassadors Sam Stosur, Liezel Huber, Aleksandra Wozniak, Zheng Jie and recently retired Kim Clijsters. USANA has been providing its NSF and HFL-tested nutritional products to more than 150 WTA players since 2006.
Stephens turned professional in the fall of 2009 and had a notable season, winning three of the four junior Grand Slam doubles titles with Hungarian partner Timea Babos (the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open). In her rookie season in 2011 she was the youngest player in the year-end Top 100 (at No.97) and in her follow-up season in 2012 she was the youngest player in the year-end Top 50 (and the only teenager).
"My career is just beginning and I am really excited to see what I can accomplish this season, as well as over the next few years," said Stephens. "With USANA's support and its high-quality products, I believe I can achieve great things both on and off the court."
Stephens kicked off her 2013 with a run to her biggest WTA quarterfinal at the $1 million, Premier-level event in Brisbane (falling to Serena Williams) and on Thursday advanced to the semifinals in Hobart. Next week she will compete at the year's first Grand Slam, the 2013 Australian Open, alongside Stosur, Huber, Zheng and Wozniak.

NEW ORLEANS, March 21 (UPI) -- Darius Miller scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds Saturday to pace Kentucky to a 90-60 rout of Wake Forest in a second-round NCAA Tournament game.
Miller got 16 of his points in the first half, shooting 7-of-9 from the field, while DeMarcus Cousins contributed 19 points and eight rebounds for Kentucky, the top seed in the East Region and the de facto No. 1 in the NCAA Tournament with Saturday's elimination of Kansas.
The Wildcats (34-2) were sizzling from the field, shooting 60.3 percent for the game. John Wall scored 14 points and distributed seven assists while Eric Bledsoe chipped in with 13 in the victory, which sent Kentucky to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005.
Al-Farouq Aminu ended with 16 points to lead ninth-seeded Wake Forest (20-11) while C.J. Harris added 11 points in the defeat. The Demon Deacons could manage only 32.8 percent shooting from the field.

Thread: Perfumes for you and your man
October 6th, 2013 05:40 AM #6
Thanks ottilie, leahmarie and kibby I loved reading your posts (looking forward to a list soon kibby) you are really educating me! I like light citrusy fragrances so what ones would fit this criteria. I find that the ones that look very dark in the bottle often have a very heavy fragrance which I find too much. I guess my dislike of jasmine and gardenia wouldn't help as these seem to make a strong fragrance which I find overpowering.Psalm 23

Hi Rollo,
You might like Issey Miyaki's l'Eau d'Issey. It's light but not too sweet, cucumber and mixed floral, I think, nothing so strong or distinct as jasmine or gardenia. I think Annick Goutal also has a light citrusy scent for women, but I'm not sure what it's called. She (Annick Goutal) makes one for men called Eau de Monsieur, which is citrusy. (My husband has worn it.)
October 6th, 2013 09:59 AM #10
I'm with @leahmarie512, I prefer the "fragrance mists" from Bath and Body Works. They're a bit lighter since I don't like anything that is heavy or overpowering, and they're more inexpensive but still smell nice. My personal favorites are (pulling some fragrance info off their site):
Sweet Pea
- sweet pea, pear, logan berry, rhubarb with hints of cyclamen, freesia, raspberry, and musk
It's slightly more floral but still fruity, not overwhelmingly flowery.
Pink Chiffon
- mandarin, red pear, peach nectar, wild berries with hints of coconut, apple blossom, white orchid, and sandalwood
Super light and feminine. Smells exactly like 'pink' should smell!
Dark Kiss
- bergamot, incense, plum, rasperry with hints of amber, rose, vanilla, and musk
A little bit more of a "night" fragrance, because it's slightly sexier and more mysterious.
Sexy Dahlia Rush
- dahlia, plum, red currant, black jasmine, spiced vanilla
Similar to the Dark Kiss, but slightly lighter, day or night.
This is going to sound strange, but my SO doesn't wear fragrances of any kind, not even an scented deodorant, and he naturally smells so good to me. I don't know why, but it's ridiculously attractive. I guess because I don't like a lot of cologne on men to begin with? Previously I did have a bf who wore a Dolce & Gabbana cologne, I have no idea what the name was since it had worn off the bottle, but it was this spicy, delicious-smelling amber colored cologne and literally all he had to do was wave his wrist under my nose and I'd melt, lol. He had another by Chaps and it was repulsive smelling. I think he wore it to punish me.baby BOY arriving november 2015

I was turned off of most Bath and Body Works stuff after one of my classmates would always spray the Sweet Pea scent during biology dissection classes! Formaldehyde mixed with Sweet Pea was awful, and now whenever I smell Sweet Pea it just makes me want to gag.
I'm fairly predictable with perfumes, I'm afraid--most of the stuff my mom has gotten experimentally I haven't had any interest in, but I lovelovelove the scent of lavender, and I love the scent of lavender on me. My mom came across "Pretty" by Elizabeth Arden, and that's all I use. Apparently it has lavender scent in it, which is probably why I like it so much! I don't have an SO, so I couldn't tell you what he uses (or would use). I don't even remember what my brother uses occasionally, haha!Ashley | storyteller | Christian

I love perfumes, especially trying new ones. I have a very long list of loves so I'll only list my very favourites. I pick out my DH's colognes because I'm very sensitive to the masculine ones, I think lots of them are overpowering and have an alcohol-ish (is that a word) scent so he lets me choose for him.
For myself:
Idolé by Armani
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
Black XS by Paco Rabane
Daisy by Mark Jacobs
Juicy by Juicy Couture
Anything by Jo Malone, her scents are almost delicious.
Cerutti 1881 by Cerutti
For my DH:
Code by Armani
Noble Leather by Yves Saint Laurent
CK1 by Calvin Klein

Sampras knocked out of Gerry Weber
HALLE, Germany (AP) -- Pete Sampras' hopes of another Wimbledon crown took a big blow Thursday when Germany's Nicolas Kiefer scored a straight-set victory over the former No. 1 at the Gerry Weber Open.
Kiefer needed just 66 minutes to win 6-3, 6-4 against Sampras, mired in the deepest slump of his career.
"I needed to do well here, this is a big week -- it was very important I reach the final or win here," a discouraged Sampras said.
Still, the 30-year-old Sampras said his career isn't nearing an end despite the latest setback 10 days before Wimbledon, where he has won seven times.
"I don't enjoy losing, and that's been happening a lot this year," Sampras said. "It's a very very big test for me, but I know I can get through it."
Sampras lost for the fourth time in his last five matches and now hasn't won a tournament for two years since the 2000 Wimbledon, a streak of 29 tournaments. He has slipped to 13th in the rankings.
"It would have been nice to go in there with a little more under my belt for my confidence," Sampras said of Wimbledon. "But I still believe I can do it."
Roger Federer of Switzerland, one of the favorites for Wimbledon, also advanced into the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 rout of Germany's David Prinosil. Also, Denmark's Kenneth Carlsen beat Switzerland's Michel Kratochvil, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, Russian Mikhail Youzhny downed Andrei Pavel of Romania, 6-4, 6-0 and Germany's Alexander Popp beat Stefan Koubek, Austria, 6-4, 6-2.
NBA Finals ratings low; Triple Crown ratings soar
NEW YORK (AP) -- NBC's ratings for the Los Angeles Lakers' four-game sweep of New Jersey in the NBA Finals were the lowest since the league went to a prime-time format 20 years ago.
But the same network's ratings for the Triple Crown were up 11 percent from a year ago.
The ratings for the NBA Finals -- the finale of NBC's decade of NBA coverage -- were 10.2 with a 19 share, down 17 percent from the first four games of last year's series between the Lakers and Philadelphia.
The only lower rating was a 6.7 in 1981, before the prime-time format started. The Celtics beat the Rockets in six games for that title.
NBA network telecasts move to ABC next season.
For the three Triple Crown races -- the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes -- NBC had a combined 6.8 rating with an 18 share, largest since 1990. Last year it had a 6.1 with a 17 share.
The Belmont, with War Emblem unsuccessfully seeking the Triple Crown, had a 7.6/21.
Svehla retires after seven seasons with Panthers
SUNRISE (AP) -- Florida Panthers defenseman Robert Svehla, who played 599 of the team's last 605 games, has retired following a contract dispute.
Svehla's agent sent a one-paragraph fax to the Panthers on Wednesday, then the defenseman had a brief phone conversation with Panthers general manager Rick Dudley.
"I have very nice memories, so I'm happy with the decision," Svehla told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel from his home in Slovakia.
"Of course, I'll miss the guys. It's too bad we couldn't make the playoffs the last couple of years, but I thank the Panthers and wish the guys luck and hope they make the playoffs next year."
On Tuesday, the Panthers exercised a $3.25 million option on Svehla's contract for next season. But they didn't commit to Svehla's request for a scouting job following his retirement or his wish that the Panthers form a financial relationship with his former Slovakian club team, Dukla Trencin.
"Maybe we asked for too much. I don't know what happened," Svehla said.
Devils dump Constantine and hire Pat Burns
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Devils fired coach Kevin Constantine and hired Pat Burns to replace him on Thursday, just over a month after the team was eliminated in the first round of the NHL playoffs.
Burns, fired as Boston Bruins coach eight games into the 2000-01 season, takes over a club that finished sixth in the Eastern Conference at 41-28-9-4. The Devils' 95 points were 16 fewer than the previous season, when they were the conference's best team.
The team's inconsistent performance led to the firing of coach Larry Robinson in late January and the hiring of Constantine.
New Jersey was 20-8 record under Constantine in the regular season before being eliminated in the playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes in six games.
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello made his decision for a change over the past two weeks.
"Looking over the picture of where we have raised the bar here in our organization and what we are expecting out of our players, I felt a certain individual and a certain type of coach was needed and I felt Pat Burns fit that description right to the T," Lamoriello said.
Dolphins trade McNown to 49ers for 7th round pick
MIAMI (AP) -- The Miami Dolphins traded quarterback Cade McNown to the San Francisco 49ers Thursday for a seventh-round draft pick, ending a one-season experiment with the former 1999 first-round selection.
McNown never attempted a regular-season pass since being acquired from the Chicago Bears before last season. He was stuck as the Dolphins' third quarterback behind starter Jay Fiedler and backup Ray Lucas.
"I learned a lot in my year in Miami and I think I will be a better player because of that," McNown said in a release. "I know I can be a quality player in the league, and I hope to get a chance to show that in San Francisco."
It is the second time the lefty out of UCLA has been traded for late round draft picks. The Dolphins acquired McNown and a seventh-round draft choice from the Bears before last season for a sixth-round pick in 2002 and a conditional seventh-round pick in 2003.
McNown struggled on and off the field in Chicago, which drafted him 12th overall in 1999. He was 3-12 as a starter with the Bears and had dropped to third on the Bears' depth chart.
He also had alienated teammates, fans and the front office.
He suggested he overthrew receivers because they were too tired to run under the football.

During a period in February 2011, in an attempt by me to tick off the remaining routes on the Brownstone Walls, I climbed Mayday Malefactor (5.10c), Sand Castle, Ten Minute Shift (5.11b) and Time's Up (5.11d). Sandcastle shares the same buttress like feature in the middle of the north Brownstone Wall with Hueco Thanks (5.7) and Ten Minute Shift (5.11b). This feature is left of the Armatron area. I actually discovered Ten Minute Shift by rapping Sandcastle. Handren's book has Sandcastle as two pitches but covering slightly more distance than Ten Minute Shift (five pitches). To run the first pitch the way the book has it laid out is quite dangerous in my opinion because at the end of 200-230' there are no good options to build an anchor and the route is quite run out prior to that juncture as well. It is best to split this route up in four pitches, which we did with a 70m rope. Tom Moulin and Anthony Anagnostou established this route ground up and without any fixed pro on the route in 2006, and that is how we found it in 2011.
This route has several interesting features, but the crux feature is a significant roof about 180' up, a slightly smaller version of the popular roof on the Spectrum (5.11a) route over at the base of Bridge Mountain. Climb a small seam (5.9+) directly below the roof and angle right onto easier ground up to belay in good cracks in a pod below and right of the roof. On the second pitch, you will find a 2" as well as a much better 5" placement before pulling the roof with a few C3's for additional pro as you ride the roof out. We found the rock quite precarious with a jug or two breaking off above. Once mantled (5.10c), traverse directly out left via exposed ground with little to no pro until you can start making it up a hidden corner. At first the corner is a bit manky, closed and hard to protect, but about 30' up you will find varnished cracks to set up a solid medium gear belay. The third pitch continues up the corner (5.9+) until below a dark slick face above where the corner ends. We established a station there and due to the run out nature of the black slick face above, chose to finish with a fourth pitch that traverses out left and runs up the last 5.7 (good pitch) varnished corner pitch on Hueco Thanks.
I spent four days up at Brownstone Walls in a stretch of six. Seven big horn ewes were feasting on the bushes at the base of the walls and a pair of (competing or breeding) peregrine falcons made tremendous racquet during mid February as well.
The north Brownstone Wall is lit up as it mostly angles east and Rainbow Wall does not cut the sun off as early as it does for South Brownstone Wall. The approach up to the two Brownstone Walls deters many climbing tourists, thus on most occasions, particularly mid-week, you are likely to have either of the entire walls to yourself. You can climb Myster Z or Rose Hips to the summit of Jackrabbit Buttress to access the Brownstone Wall climbs which make for a nice long day of climbing. However, you can hike up Juniper Canyon as well. I prefer to park at the Oak Creek trail head (versus Pine Creek) and head north out of the parking area for the Juniper Canyon access on the north side of the wash. Hike up the canyon on a well traveled trail. Ten Minute Shift runs up the left side of a half height buttress (attached tower) well left of the Armatron Wall and it's more popular 5.9 objectives. Sandcastle starts above a bushy section below a thin yellowish seam just to the right of a thin deep corner.
Route Description400'+/-, 4 Pitches, 5.10c
1st Pitch- 180'- 5.9+/ There are several options to complete this pitch. There is a thin corner to the left and there is a thin seam above some easy run out straight below the roof. I chose the direct version. I was a bit tentative about the rock, but the direct seam protected moderately well. As the wall reaches more varnish above, I chose to venture right, up into the pod. There is a run out (5.10a) section up and left through the varnish that leads directly to underneath the roof as well. The pod area made for a comfortable belay on good gear.
2nd Pitch- 60'- 5.10c/ The roof is a bit chossy. A 5" (even though not called for in the guide book) protects underneath it well. But to protect against a slam back fall requires relying on a few tenuous C3 size cams in manky rock. Once you get the mantle, you can place a decent piece, nothing to write home about though. Then traverse straight out left over the large roof on exposed and unprotected, but in the 5.8 range, ground until the upper corner comes into view. Meander up the corner on some chossy rock, never much above 5.9, until you can finally put in a solid gear station about 30' up via a hanging belay.
3rd Pitch- 80'- 5.9+/ Continue up the corner with a couple of moves at the grade about mid-way through. As the corner ends, some large huecos emerge. Climb through them and set up a belay below the base of the large and slick varnished wall above.
4th Pitch- 100'- 5.7+/ We chose to exit out onto Hueco Thanks as we could not see a clear line of protection up above and where we had set up belay would allow for a significant fall on our gear if the pro above the belay did not hold. Traverse left on huge huecos until in the nice varnished corner. Climb the fun well protected corner to its top. From time to time, you can peek back right and see just how run out the black varnished wall is coupled with several interesting "oil slick" sections running across it. Route finding up that varnished wall would be intense. Most of its features appear to be mostly shallow down sloping edges. Needless to say I was happy with our choice. Once topping out of the crack, carefully drag your rope along the top of the buttress feature another 100' to the far end and a tree. This tree is slung and combined with a bolt is the start of your rap descent on Ten Minute Shift. I set up a belay here, but it might be wise to try and find something more direct back at the top of Hueco Thanks.
Climbing Sequence
DescentRap Ten Minute Shift. With a "true" 70m rope, you can skip the third pitch belay. Watch the ends. I have done this rap with two different 70m ropes and they both barely made it. Watch the large cactus at the base of the route when you do the final pull. All the rap/belay bolts were in good shape (2011) but some of the tat could be replaced.
Essential GearSingle rack to 5" including a few C3's. Full set of wires. A "true" single 70m rope will get you down in four raps, a 60m will take five raps. A sunny route until early afternoon in the winter. Half draws; half slings.

Ramirez symptom-free, reinstated from DL
Ramirez symptom-free, reinstated from DL
MINNEAPOLIS -- With infielder Jamey Carroll getting traded to the Royals for a player to be named later or cash on Sunday, the Twins activated outfielder Wilkin Ramirez from the disabled list on Monday to take his spot on the roster.
Ramirez, who was originally placed on the seven-day concussion DL on May 26, had missed 69 games with concussion-like symptoms. He needed two separate rehab assignments, because he retriggered the symptoms while diving for a ball with Class A Advanced Fort Myers in late June and sat out for another month.
But Ramirez said he's been symptom-free for about 15-20 days, and he hit .172 (5-for-29) with a double in seven games with Double-A New Britain just before rejoining the Twins. He also batted .273 (3-for-11) with a double and a homer in four games with the Gulf Coast League Twins before being transferred to Double-A.
"It was tough, but I'm here now," Ramirez said. "So I'm just here to do whatever I can to help this team win. I'm happy to be here. It's great to be back here."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was also pleased to have Ramirez back, as the Twins have been without a backup center fielder to Clete Thomas since Aaron Hicks was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 1.
"He's been through a long road," Gardenhire said. "He had his ups and downs with it. Concussions are always the unknown, so it's nice to see him doing well. And now I have a backup center fielder, which is a good thing."

I have been wanting to try some spicy teas, so it was a pleasant surprise to get this in the 52teas grab bag. Spicy AND chocolate? Why yes please. I'm surprised this only has one tasting note, since it seems like anything chocolate = instantly popular.
I made the mistake of sticking my nose in the bag to sniff when I got this, and got cayenne in my nostrils. Not the most pleasant experience, but it meant that this had to be spicy! I was disappointed by the spice level in Mango Diablo, so I was kind of happy to have a burning nose. And yes, this blend has a lot of kick! It's not "top of the mouth chili pepper" heat, but more "back of the mouth slow burning." At first sip it's like chicory coffee (which is what I automatically associate roasted mate with), then a bit of deep, dark chocolate and them pow cayenne! In fact, I think the spicy element is the strongest taste here: the chocolate is probably the weakest. You can definitely taste it, but it's not super rich creamy chocolate. I actually like that it's subtle, since it doesn't have a dessert-y feel and is light even with all the rich flavors going on.

This is a decent green tea, can be a bit bitter. I really, really love the way it smells. Been having a difficult time finding it lately, wondering if TJ's has discontinued it.

I don't often ask this type of request, but this is a little girl that has been attending school with my boys, She is the age of my oldest son, Aaron. Her family was at Parent/Teacher conference night in tears begging people to sign this petition.
She has a rare type of inoperable brain tumor that is growing. Her doctors feel that there is only ONE medication capable of treating this specific type of tumor, but she has to petition the FDA to be added to a list of people allowed to take it, under a compassionate use exemption.
Her grandfather said to me, personally, that she will likely die without this treatment. The median survival rate is 9 months, and she's been sick for almost a year to date, and is getting worse.
Of course, I signed the petition. But as of today, they still need 88,691 signatures. It's a staggering amount, but with the help of social media, they can get there. Please read her story and consider signing it, and passing the link along to others as well.
***SIGN THE PETITION HERE***: Change.org Petition of McKenzie Lowe
You can also "Like" the Friends of McKenzie Lowe Facebook Page to follow her story and progress. The Boston Bruins have joined in asking for help and some Boston News Stations are joining in as well. It is heartbreaking to me to think that the FDA would allow a child to die before allowing her to try every medication available. She IS getting some treatment now to try and keep it under control until she gets approval for this medication.

This story's a month old, so I apologize to those of you who may have already read about it, but for those of you who haven't, it's pretty amazing: On October 11, Jane Litte of Dear Author posted a sarcastic "Top 10 Tips for Plagiarists, all of them aimed at subtly accusing Lanaia Lee of ripping off the recently deceased fantasy writer David Gemmell's Dark Prince in her self-published novel Of Atlantis. And we're not talking Kaavya Viswanathan-style swipes of an apt phrase here and there; we're talking word-for-word, only changing character's names, for the entire first chapter.
Victoria Strauss picked up the story from there, as, after first defending her novel as entirely original, Lee blamed a ghostwriter for everything. Strauss believes that story, because the party Lee named, Christopher Hill, is infamous among writers and agents for his duplicitous practices—even Lee had been alerted to his reputation.
"I find it completely plausible that the ripoff of Gemmell was Hill's work, not Lanaia's," Strauss writes. "It would be absolutely typical of Hill to do something like this to screw over a client—especially one who'd twigged to his scam. His whole deal was false promises and head games, fakery and bullshit and general psychological torment. If she'd never read Gemmell, there's no reason why Lanaia would have recognized that stolen chapter."
Oh, and then there's the detail of Lee's erratic hypertension and how "I'm not suppose to have any stress, but the last 48 hrs, I have had enough stress for a lifetime." And she'd really just like to put the whole thing behind her, as commenters on Making Light noted: "[If] you keep dogging me I could have another stroke," Lee writes, "contact my agent and attorney, I'm sure no one wants [my] blood on their hands." Then somebody named Cheryl Pillsbury shows up in the comments claiming to have helped broker the relationship between Lee and the publishing company that she paid to publish her novel, and telling people they should watch what they say about any of this or they could get themselves sued or otherwise subject to karmic payback, and everybody has a good laugh at her, because she's an even worse writer than Lee is apart from the passages Hill swiped from Gemmell. Also, if you Google "Cheryl Pillsbury," little of what comes up lends her credibility. And it goes on and on for over 1,000 comments, and another 400+ at Dear Author. Wow.

I ran fvwm, fluxbox, and fvwm-crystal (in Xephyr) and crystal is the only one without decorations. I read a little about it and it appears to be intentional, although I'm not sure where to change it. Try the fvwm-crystal documentation, if there is any. -- Liam

Bank of Ireland sues Celtic boss Neil Lennon over property deal
Celtic boss Neil Lennon is being sued for almost €3 million (£2.6m) by Bank of Ireland.
The former Northern Ireland international is at the centre of legal proceedings following a failed property venture in Dundalk that has already cost him €600,000 (£526,400).
Lennon had put significant money into a development company, Rocket Developments, which went to the wall in December.
The new Celtic caretaker manager is being sued by Bank of Ireland after plans to build 61 houses in Knockbridge, Co Louth, in 2006 fell through when Louth County Council refused to grant planning permission.
The six-acre site was never built on after the planning application was refused and its value has now crumbled from €3m (£2.6m) four years ago to just over €300,000 (£263,300) now.

"Up" received 5 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, while "Princess and the Frog" scored two nominations.
Disney sent us these official statements:
"We are humbled and grateful to the Academy. Being nominated among these remarkable animated films is such an amazing privilege. On top of that, to be honored as one of the best pictures of the year is just mind-blowing. Its truly been a long, wonderful ride getting here, and with all sincerity it really does feel like were floating on air."
- Pete Docter (Director/Writer) and Jonas Rivera (Producer)
"This rare honor is a thrill, not only for us, but for the 400 or more artists who gave so much of their talents in bringing classical hand-drawn Disney animation in (The Princess and the Frog) back to the big screen."
- Directors Ron Clements and John Musker
This is a great moment for all of us in the animation community, and were all so incredibly proud that UP has been nominated by the Academy in three key categories, especially the Best Picture category. This milestone achievement is a great tribute to the filmmaking talents of director Pete Docter, producer Jonas Rivera, and the entire team at Pixar, who worked so hard to create such wonderfully entertaining characters, and develop an original story that was filled with emotion, humor, adventure, and excitement. Were equally proud that The Princess & the Frog, our latest hand-drawn animated feature from Disney, has been recognized in the Best Animated Feature Film, and 'Best Song' categories. With its fantastic animation, original characters, memorable music, and beautiful artistry, it ranks along with the Studios very best efforts.

"A Serious Man" and "Coraline" from Focus Features received Oscar nominations today. "A Serious Man" scored Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay nominations while "Coraline" received Best Animated Feature nomination.
Here are statements from the nominees:
"We are very happy to have received these nominations and would like to thank the Academy and everyone that made this film possible a special thanks to Focus Features and Working Title Films. Thank you very much."
- Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Nominees: Best Picture; Original Screenplay - A SERIOUS MAN
"I feel very lucky and very grateful that Coraline is nominated. There were more excellent animated features released in 2009 than in any year before, so being included makes all of us from LAIKA and Focus Features very proud. And the diversity of the nominees in both storytelling and animation techniques gladdens my heart: The Princess and the Frog and The Secret of Kells, done in hand-drawn animation; Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox, in stop-motion; and Up, in glorious CG. It's a great day for me, my family, and for all of us on Coraline and a great day for animated feature films."
- Henry Selick
Director/Screenwriter/Producer, CORALINE (Best Animated Feature Film)
"This is a great honor, especially in a year in which I'm so involved with the Oscars. Coraline is a special film; like many, a hard film to get made and thus it's rewarding to see it accorded our industry's highest recognition. Kudos to Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman and to all the LAIKA and Focus people."
- Bill Mechanic
Producer, CORALINE (Best Animated Feature Film)
"To know that LAIKA's first movie has been embraced by members of the Academy is a great honor for us. This nomination is a tribute to the unique vision of director Henry Selick and to the passion and talent of the crew who worked closely alongside him, bringing Coraline's world to life with such imagination. We're all extremely proud of today's nomination and want to thank the Academy for this recognition."
- Claire Jennings
Producer, CORALINE (Best Animated Feature Film)
"In an exceptional year for animation, the Academy's nomination of Coraline for Best Animated Feature Film is especially meaningful. All of us at LAIKA are deeply proud of Henry's inspirational direction, our cast's outstanding performances, and the countless contributions of our brilliant artists and visionaries. We remain grateful to the Academy for this extraordinary honor."
- Travis Knight
President/CEO of LAIKA and Lead Animator, CORALINE (Best Animated Feature Film)
"It is a tremendous honor and privilege to be recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with an Academy Award nomination for Coraline. It is a tribute to the hundreds of talented artists and technicians who contributed to the making of the film. This nomination is for them, and to them I extend my sincere thanks."
- Mary Sandell

As expected, the Oscar nominations were virtually surprise-free as they were announced this morning by Academy President Tom Sherak and Oscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway. If you count "The Blind Side's" nomination for Best Picture as a surprise, that's the most gripping moment during the announcement (you could hear the audience clap with excitement when the film was announced).
But I'm more ecstatic with the inclusion of "District 9" for Best Picture, and sadden with the snub of "(500) Days of Summer."
"Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" led the pack with 9 nominations each. James Cameron's sci-fi flick scored noms including Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Cinematography, Film Editing, Music (Original Score), Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects. Although the biggest blockbuster in the world failed to get a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
"The Hurt Locker," Kathryn Bigelow's masterpiece (and my pick to win the top awards) scored nominations for Best Picture and Director, Best Actor for Jeremy Renner, Cinematography, Film Editing, Music (Original Score), Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Best Original Screenplay.
"Inglourious Basterds" followed with 8 nominations including Best Picture and Direction for Quentin Tarantino, Best Supporting Actor for Christoph Waltz, Cinematography, Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Best Original Screenplay.
"Up in the Air" and "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire tied with 6 nominations each, and "District 9" scored 4! I'm so happy for Neill Blomkamp and company.
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will team up as co-hosts of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. The Oscar telecast will take place Sunday, March 7 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

Universal Pictures has bought the rights to the graphic novel "Fire" by Brian Michael Bendis with Zac Efron attached to star. The actor will also be the executive producer of the film alongside his manager, Jason Barrett.
Bendis will be adapting his own creation.
The Hollywood Reporter tells us that the project is "written and drawn by Bendis before he went on to become one of Marvel Comics top writers, the story centers on a college student who is inducted into a special CIA project that tests whether training ordinary citizens to be agents can be successful."
More power to Efron! He's one of the few Hollywood actors I've met who's very real!
