Decoy-carving legend highlights
Bayshore Center celebration
What Is It: The Bayshore Center at Bivalve, the home of New Jersey's official tall ship the A.J. Meerwald, has a tradition of hosting a celebration on the second Friday of each month. For tonight's Second Friday party, the featured attraction is Harry Shourds II, above, a third-generation decoy maker whose creations are considered works of art.
What To Expect: But there's always more to Second Friday than one draw. Tonight's music comes from the The Bud Cavallo Duo, there's a showing of "Crash: A Tale of Two Species," the acclaimed PBS documentary filmed on the Delaware Bayshore, plus art exhibits, more crafts, and plenty of local food and drink at the center's downhome Oyster Cracker Cafe.
Event Info: The free event runs 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Bayshore Center at Bivalve, 2800 High St., Port Norris. The tall ship, the Meerwald, is back in Bivalve and has a 90-minute river sail set starting at 4 p.m. For more details, call 856-785-2060 or see bayshorediscovery.org
A 'Sinatra' salute to moms in Cape May
Who Is He: Brandon Tomasello plays a young Frank Sinatra - a very, very young Sinatra. Tomasello is barely old enought to drink in a saloon, but he has been a popular saloon singer for a few years now doing his Sinatra songbook at several venues in Atlantic City. He moves his act south tonight to a very young venue, the new Cape May Convention Hall.
What To Expect: Tomasello will do his tribute to Sinatra, and to Mother's Day. Go in looking for the skinny kid who would grow up and fill out to be the Chairman of the Board and you may recognize him; you also may enjoy a rare concert in this beachfront building.
Event Info: Showtime is 8 p.m. and doors open 7:30 p.m. at Cape May Convention Hall,
714 Beach Drive. Tickets are free and seating is first-come, first-served. For more details, call 609-884-9565 or see CapeMayCity.org
'Taste of Revel,' solid and liquid
What Is It: It's called a "Taste of Revel," but this event is actually a whole lot of tastes. It's three days of food, drinks, music and more.
What To Expect: The events start in a big way tonight with a Meet the Chefs Kickoff Bash, hosted by Katie Lee, the cookbook author and former host of Bravo's "Top Chef." The opening party features some of Revel's lineup of "Iron Chefs," including Jose Garces and Luke Palladino, plus plenty of food and drinks. Other events through Sunday include everything from Belgian beer tastings to Mother's Day brunches, and the list goes on and on.
Event Info: The Kickoff Bash runs 7 to 9 p.m. today and costs $95 per person, or $150 for VIP package. Other events continue at various times, with various prices, from tonight through Sunday brunch. For a full schedule and prices, see RevelResorts.com/TasteOfRevel
Classic car show in Wildwood
What Is It: If you love a sweet set of wheels, Wildwood is your spot this weekend. The annual Spring Boardwalk Classic Car Show promises to draw beautiful, old-school cars all over the island, but especially to the Boardwalk.
What To Expect: It's always hard to say what will be the hit vehicles at a car show, but this is a promise: If you're into old cars, you can get your fill of them today and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., all along the boards in the Wildwoods. You'll also get a chance to chat the owners up about everything they did to bring the classic out of their cars - or to get the classic back into their old machines.
Event Info: The event is free. Daytime car showings today and Saturday, awards ceremony 9 a.m. Sunday at Wildwoods Convention Center, 4501 Boardwalk. For more details, call 609-522-4546 or see wildwoodmotoreevents.com

Good to see Jill Abramson cracking the glass ceiling to become the first woman editor of the great-but-blokeish New York Times. But it was Reg Bailey, the other glass ceiling-buster, who caught my attention today. He reminded me of a silly incident in the swimming pool the other day.
Reg who? Concentrate. Bailey is the first bloke to become the chief executive of the Mothers' Union. It's his report on the excessive sexualisation of childhood that Patrick Wintour reports on page one of the Guardian today.
It sounds like a level-headed report. Bailey wants parents to be able to complain more easily about products and adverts they deem inappropriate. Regulators should consult parents more on what is acceptable and, if voluntary improvements are not forthcoming from the retail, advertising and video trades then tougher government regulation should follow, Bailey says.
Good stuff. So let's hope that David Cameron – who has long expressed such concerns himself – does more than utter platitudes about it. But don't hold your breath for long.
As with the commercial excesses of the food, fags and booze businesses, it won't be easy to take on such powerful interests. So far the coalition – think Andrew Lansley – has been even more feeble and indecisive than New Labour, sluggish enough, which Tories and Lib Dems criticised so vocally for most of the past decade.
Me, I dislike the sophisticated way some children – not just rich ones, either – are dressed nowadays and encouraged to express themselves as mini-adults in so many ways when they're not. Pop stars have always attracted adulation, but celeb culture has made it all much worse, and much younger.
It's not that the kids are not acutely aware of gender differences from a very early age. Nor do we waste much time (do we?) on the tragic Canadian couple who revealed recently they aren't going to reveal the sex of their child, Storm, because they think they are dealing with social stereotyping.
In our family the granddaughter (aged three) has proved to be incredibly girlie – even her toy guns have to be pink – and no one knows where it comes from. As for emotional manipulation, well, don't ask. When she was two, she told her big brother: "If you don't give me a sweet I'll go and live in another country, so you won't ever see me again."
Can you imagine a little boy saying that? No. But how children work these things out between themselves is one thing. Being cynically exploited by the usual suspects in the high street, on the TV and on the net is something else.
All the same, I'm struck by two different concerns. One is the exposure of children and young people – all of us, actually – to violence brutal, gratuitous and graphic. It is just as offensive and potentially more serious. Is it OK to say that sexual exploitation is bad, sexual violence is worse, but that murder is pretty terminal?
Yet there's a huge amount of it, even on TV cartoon shows for tots. Even the ludicrously tacky Power Rangers (I have to watch quite a lot of it these days) is full of fake violence, fighting between American teenagers and ubiquitous "baddies". I never like it and avoid TV and films that have lots of what I call "pointless violence", the fashionable kind.
The other thing that troubles me, because I see it everywhere, is society's hopeless inability to price risk. It's surprisingly widespread on issues great and small. Both sides in the battle over global warming – what is causing it, how best do we deal with it? – make outrageous charges against each other.
By the same token, we seem to worry far more about the occasional fatal rail accident (and pay more to "prevent" their repetition) than we do about continuing carnage on the roads, much reduced though it now is. Banking? Insurance? They don't seem to do risk very well, either.
But cotton wool kids? We stop them playing outdoors because the streets are full of bullies, drug peddlers, child molesters, TV executives and motorists. Instead, we park them "safely" indoors – in front of one screen or another where all of the above (all right, not motorists) still lurk.
The children are still at risk, but with added risk: they're risking becoming obese as well. Oh, yes, and timid, too. It's a cliché to say that the problem of over-protected childhood is getting worse – but it is, and everyone knows it. There's a neurotic edge to it all, too.
Let's put it this way: I was supervising the grandchildren at the swimming pool the other weekend. While the three-year-old had her lesson, her brother (six) wanted to swim in the toddlers' pool while awaiting his lesson in the big pool.
The lifeguard told me he couldn't be in the toddlers' pool alone unless he was eight. I'd have to swim with him. But he can swim very well and the water is 18 inches deep, I protested. No use, so I changed and paddled around in the toddlers' pool with the yummy mummies and their tots.
The water was warm, no harm done. Except that, as I later said to the lifeguard ("Look, I realise this isn't your fault"), if instead I'd volunteered to help teach these same children to read at their primary schools, I'd probably have had to be vetted by the police.
Daft or what, Reg Bailey?

"Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words," the acclaimed, long-running L.A-based comedy sensation has taken New York by storm and has extended its run!!
**(Mondays at 7:30PM) through March 24 at The Triad Theater (158 West 72nd Street).
Produced by Angelo Fraboni, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel and Peter Martin, the show continues to draw top talent to its rotating cast and bold -faced names to its sold-out audiences.
"Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words" features a line up of revolving performers who will interpret the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous, in both solo and ensemble "chamber" pieces. Some of the "authors" that are featured include Ivana Trump, Vanna White, Mr. T, Star Jones, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Lee, Sylvester Stallone, 'N Sync, Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Cassidy, Neil Sedaka, Britney Spears, Madonna, Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson, as well as the infamous memoirs of Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, which are edited together to create a Rashomon-esque playlet in the participants' own words.
"Celebrity Autobiography", created by Emmy nominated writer and performer Eugene Pack and co-produced/developed with Dayle Reyfel, has been a monthly event in Los Angeles that attracts celebrities as guest performers and audience members. In 2005, "Celebrity Autobiography" premiered on Bravo-TV as a one-hour comedy special. As Pack explains, "I would listen to a lot of books-on-tape, particularly autobiographies, and was astounded at what people would write about. If I got a hold of one of the books, I'd read it out loud to a friend, and they'd insist I was making it up….but people actually wrote these words. I thought that putting the material up in front of an audience would be extremely entertaining."
One night, Pack had access to a comedy space and asked a group of fellow performers and comedians to bring in excerpts of autobiographies that were not necessarily written to be funny. The evening was an instant success---and it soon became a monthly performance piece, co-hosted and co-produced by Dayle Reyfel. After covering over 300 different bios, "Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words" is never short of material because every week, someone else has written their life story!
A portion of the proceeds of "Celebrity Autobiography" will benefit The Actors' Fund, a nationwide human services organization that helps all professionals – both performers and those behind the scenes - in performing arts and entertainment. Founded in 1882, The Fund serves those in film, theatre, television, music, opera, and dance with a broad spectrum of programs including comprehensive social services, health services, supportive and affordable housing, emergency financial assistance, employment and training services, and skilled nursing and assisted living care. Administered from offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, The Actors' Fund is a safety net, providing programs and services for those who are in need, crisis, or transition. Please visit The Actors' Fund website at http://www.actorsfund.org/.
Monday evenings (7:30) through March 24th-- Tickets for "Celebrity Autobiography" are scaled at $35.00 - $45.00 (plus a 2 drink minimum).
Tickets are available in advance through Smartix by phone at 212-868-4444 or online at http://www.smarttix.com/.

The warm, engaging smile Nate Snell flashes as he chats with fans and signs autographs is a decided departure from the manacing scowl he wore on his baseball cards. But times have changed for the 58-year-old Snell, and he no longer has to worry about intimidating opponents or making a positive impression to maintain his roster spot.
Want to really get Snell smiling? Just ask the native of Orangeburg, S.C., about Baltimore, where he's made his home since 1985, his first full season with the Orioles.
"There's something about Charm City," he said before a recent Orioles Alumni autograph signing at Camden Yards. "I've spoken to a lot of the players who've come here and there's something about this city, it sucks you in. It's that family feeling. Everybody loves baseball and everybody loves the Orioles. That Charm City feeling is always like being at home for me."
Baltimore was home for most of Snell's brief major league career, An amateur free agent signing in 1976 out of Tennessee State University, Snell spent seven seasons as a Baby Bird before finally reaching the majors at the end of the 1984 campaign, a promotion that came after Double-A Charlotte won the Southern League crown.
Snell made five appearances out of the bullpen and broke spring training as a member of the big league club in 1984, a gangly 6-foot-4 right-hander with a deceptive delivery. He spent three seasons as an Oriole before being released in December 1986 and signing with the Detroit Tigers, for whom he pitched his final major league season in 1987.
His statistics for 104 games in the majors make it difficult to believe Snell didn't have a longer career. He was 7-6 with a 3.29 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 219 innings. He walked only 12 batters in his career and allowed a home run only once every 11.5 innings.
These days, that kind of production would earn Snell a multi-year contract worth millions and job security. Instead, he was a journeyman, bouncing around the minors until 1988. Ironically, his pro career ended in Miami, with the independent Single-A Marlins in Bobby Maduro Stadium, where he pitched his first game as an O's farmhand for the Miami Orioles of the Florida State League in 1977.
"It's easy to look back and think my ERA was pretty good," said Snell. "As a reliever and as a starter, it wasn't bad. But when you look at the numbers these guys have now, it makes you wonder what could have been."
Even his best season with Baltimore - a 3-2 record with five saves and a 2.69 ERA in 43 games in 1985 - wasn't without some bad luck. Pitching in relief of Dennis Martinez against Minnesota on July 9, 1985, Snell was struck in the side by a line drive off the bat of designated hitter Mike Stenhouse with one out in the top of the seventh. The shot broke two ribs and sent the reliable reliever to the disabled list. At least he got credit for the 11-6 victory.
"He was a left-handed batter and I was falling off (the mound in my follow through) when it hit me, Snell recalled. "Cracked two ribs."
His first visit to Memorial Stadium? That, too, came from an injury - and a visit for an exam by team doctors.
"I remember the first time I came up. It wasn't for pitching or anything, it was to see a doctor," he said. "So the first time I saw Memorial Stadium , it was like, 'This is what it's like to be in the big leagues, playing here. This is where I want to play. Right here.' It took me quite a while because we had (Jim) Palmer, (Scott) McGregor, (Mike) Flanagan - all these 20-game winners. It took a long time, but I stuck around long enough to get there."
Now he's a part of the Orioles Alumni Autograph Series, where former players sign for free and interact with fans for an hour before Monday and Thursday home games. Participants are not announced in advance, but are found in the MASN tent on Eutaw Street beginning 90 minutes before first pitch.
"It's always fun coming back to the stadium and seeing some of the guys. Being around the game is bring back some old memories, so it's good," Snell said.
Snell has also done some Orioles Alumni outreach, like an appearance earlier this year at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum of Maryland. Snell always respected the African Americans who served as trailblazers for his generation, and interacting with some of the elderly ballplayers has sparked him to learn more about the Negro Leagues.
"That was the first time doing something like that," he said. "I got a chance to see some of the old guys who played in the Negro Leagues and chat with them. ... I really didn't follow it as much, but I'm starting to read up on the history now."
For the past 22 years, he's driven a tractor-trailer feeder truck for UPS, often working the night shift. In another three years, he hopes to retire and make more frequent trips to Camden Yards. Some of his coworkers have no idea that he once pitched in the majors, much less for the Orioles.
"I'm just 'Nate' to most of the guys, but some of the guys will come around with my cards and they want me to sign. ... It's a different feeling being at the ballpark and signing autographs than for somebody I work with," he said. "I'm just happy to be here. It's always a thrill to know you've done something that the fans will remember what you did. That they remember, recognize you is something."

SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) — Authorities say an adult and two recent graduates from a San Francisco Bay area high school have been killed in a rollover crash outside of Sacramento.
The Contra Costa Times reports that 18-year-old Christian Bishop and 20-year-old Mauric Waters died after the car they were riding in went out of control and flipped over several times around 3 a.m. Friday.
A California Highway Patrol spokesman says Bishop and Waters were riding in the back seat. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Both were recent graduates of Walnut Creek's Las Lomas High School.
Also killed in the crash was the driver, 26-year-old Stephen Johnson, of Rancho Cordova.
A fourth person in the car, 24-year-old Kevin Wardley of Lincoln, survived the crash. He was hospitalized in critical condition.

Facing Felix just the start of tough stretch for Rays
Facing Felix just the start of tough stretch for Rays
And it won't get any easier when they reach Anaheim on Thursday, as they will face Dan Haren, Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson, and Zack Greinke.
"Couple of Cy Youngs in there," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "A couple of potential Cy Youngs in there, but they have to say the same thing about our guys."
Each of the pitchers the Rays will face has been an All-Star, Hernandez and Greinke have won Cy Young Awards and Weaver threw a no-hitter this year.
"Those are some good pitchers in a row," Jeff Keppinger said. "But you have to face good pitchers throughout the year. It just so happens that we happen to get all of them in a bunch. We have to go out there and swing the bats. Swing at strikes."
While players are used to seeing good pitchers, Keppinger allowed that players aren't immune from looking at the list of coming starters they will face and seeing a difficult task ahead.
"But there's nothing you can do about it," Keppinger said. "We just have to go out there and compete. They have to face our pitching, too."
Sam Fuld noted that because the Rays play in the American League East, they see a lot of tough pitchers.
"You see a lot of quality arms all the time," Fuld said. "Yeah, we have five games in a row where we're facing five really quality guys. But we're pretty well equipped to take that on.
"We see quality arms a lot. This happens to be a little more daunting than normal. But gosh, we've got a lot of momentum on our side. We're swinging the bats better at a good time."
The Rays will be countering the fab five they'll be facing with a group of their own, beginning with Jeremy Hellickson on Wednesday, followed by David Price, James Shields, Alex Cobb and Matt Moore.
"That's the beauty of our pitching staff," Fuld said. "No matter who we're facing offensively, we feel like -- and it's not necessarily the best approach to take -- but we know we can get away with scoring two or three runs and have a chance to win. We don't ever want to be resigned to that, but it certainly helps when we go up against these quality arms."
Keppinger added: "Every time we come into a place, the other team can't be too happy facing our staff. Our staff's good, our bullpen's pretty lights out too. There isn't an easy matchup in there."
Maddon has never been the voice of panic about coming attractions that the Rays must deal with, and predictably, he didn't sound the panic alarm about the pitchers the Rays will have to face in the coming five days.
"We've had a history of beating good pitchers in close games because we've pitched well," Maddon said. "And that's the way I look at it."

The 1997 season was one of unprecedented success for the Kansas City Wizards. With a regular season mark of 21-11, the Wizards (along with Eastern Conference counterpart D.C. United) set a Major League Soccer record for most wins in a season.
The regular season also saw Kansas City sit atop first place for a dominating 26 of 28 weeks. During one stretch in the middle of the season, the Wizards won a remarkable 11 of 13 games, including a league-best seven in a row.
The Wizards shocking defeat, 2-0 in the Western Conference Semi-Finals to the Colorado Rapids does not dimish from the team's regular season success.
From the beginning of the season, the Wizards ran away from the pack and never looked back. On the strength of their 13-3 record against Western Conference foes, Kansas City clinched a playoff berth sooner than any other MLS team on August 28.
The season started with a bang, as forward Mo Johnston hooked a free kick by the San Jose Clash goalkeeper in the 13th minute, leading the club to a 3-2 shootout victory in the home opener on Mar. 29 at Arrowhead Stadium. From there, the Wizards went on to establish themselves as arguably the best team in Major League Soccer.
When opposing teams prepare for the Kansas City Wizards, there's one thing that always comes to mind: Preki. What more can you say about his incredible 1997 season.
As captain of the team, the midfielder with the deadly left foot led the Wizards offense in tallying 12 goals and 17 assists on his way to winning a host of awards including, Honda Most Valuable Player, Budweiser Scoring Champion & Wizards MVP Preki has become the all-time leading scorer in MLS history with a grand total of 30 goals and 30 assists for a whopping 90 points in 59 games.
The Kansas City Wizards attacking style of play in 1997 only strengthened their reputation as an "offensive powerhouse," a tag the team was given at the beginning of the inaugural season. With 57 goals (second in MLS) in 1997, Kansas City came close to matching their impressive goal total of 61 in 1996.
In 1996, the Wizards gave up a league-worst 63 goals, or almost two goals a game. In the off-season, the Wizards went out and acquired the services of Richard Gough from Glasgow Rangers and Steve Pittman from the Tampa Bay Mutiny. Those additions and the defensive nucleus of Sean Bowers and Uche Okafor, helped overcome pre-season, year-ending injuries to 1996 defensive starters Scott Uderitz and Diego Guti.
The defense improved greatly in 1997, helping the Wizards hold opponents to just 51 goals, 12 fewer than 1996.

Strewed with flowers your line of march,
Spanned by the Triumphal arch,
Jewelled hands outreaching now,
Garlands for each Hero's brow!
Each shall find as North he roams,
Open arms and open Homes!
And wherever sunlight darts,
Welcome smiles and grateful hearts
Hosts have fallen in their bloom,
Sleeping now in trench and tomb,
With their names and deeds enshrined,
In each Union Patriot's mind!

Jury selection began Monday in a long-awaited murder trial for a man accused of killing his girlfriend in Torrance nearly 35 years ago.
Prosecutors passed out questionnaires to prospective jurors in Los Angeles Superior Court in downtown Los Angeles, and will follow up in the coming days with in-person juror questioning. Testimony is scheduled to begin about July 7.
Douglas Bradford, 62, of Costa Mesa is charged with stabbing 28-year-old nurse Lynne Knight to death in her apartment in the 21200 block of Anza Avenue on Aug. 29, 1979. She had dated Bradford a few months before her death.
Bradford has been free since he posted $1.2 million bail following his arrest on May 13, 2009.
Witnesses told police that Bradford, an engineering student at the time, had trouble accepting the relationship was over and stalked her, court documents said.
Torrance police developed a case against Bradford while working several unsolved slayings from the past.
Deputy District Attorney John Lewin is prosecuting the case. Attorney Robert Shapiro of O.J. Simpson trial fame represents Bradford.

McDonald's shot helps D-backs sink Brewers
McDonald's shot helps D-backs sink Brewers
PHOENIX -- Trailing by a run and behind 0-2 in the count to Brewers ace Zack Greinke with runners on the corners and one out, John McDonald was one swing away from wasting another scoring chance for the inopportune of late D-backs offense. The club had already squandered two such opportunities earlier in the game with strikeouts and a baserunning error. Instead, the veteran infielder used his remaining swing to pull his team out of the mire with a three-run homer into the first row of the left-field bleachers.
Behind McDonald's power, the D-backs smashed out 15 hits and batted around in the third inning to rally from a three-run deficit to an 8-5 victory over the Brewers on Saturday at Chase Field. "I didn't look too good on the first two pitches," McDonald said. "I was lucky enough to get a breaking ball that wasn't down and put a good swing on it." D-backs lefty Wade Miley bounced back from a rough start to his outing, lasting six innings and allowing five runs (three earned) on eight hits to secure his team-leading sixth win of the season. "It's a team win, offense battled and picked me up when I was struggling," Miley said. "I wanted to go deep to help out the team. It was a confidence thing. I knew my job went to trying to lock it down." Even though 25-year-old didn't have his best stuff, the D-backs were going to ride him for as long as they could to help save the bullpen. "We needed the innings tonight. He was going to go over 100 pitches," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's got game, and he doesn't have a care in the world. He handled the pressure very well tonight. He had a bad inning and composed himself afterwards." With a base knock in the third and a double in the fifth, Miley complemented his pitching performance by extending his hitting streak to seven games, tying the franchise record for a pitcher set by Dan Haren in 2010. "I don't think we're all that surprised right now. He's not just putting the ball in play, he's making hard contact," McDonald said. "When Wade's hitting behind me, they are definitely not going to walk me. It's nice. We have some pitchers that can definitely swing the bat." Miley's double came on a swing he was well out in front of that nearly left the yard, falling just shy on the right-field wall. "I 100 percent thought it was a popup," he said. "I looked up and didn't know where it was and I saw the outfielder running back. I blacked out and started running." Greinke lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks. The 28-year-old gave up eight runs to the Cubs on April 12, but had not surrendered more than three in an outing since. "I was trying to be better than I could really pitch," Greinke said. "That's the main thing -- I got out of my normal game plan. ... I tried to get out of it by throwing harder, and throwing better sliders." With the score at 2-1 entering the third inning, Cody Ransom, waived by the D-backs on Monday and picked up by the Brewers on Wednesday, doubled to drive in two runs after one had already crossed the plate. A throwing error from third baseman Ryan Roberts allowed the fourth run of the inning to score, putting the Brewers up, 5-2. Back on their heels, the D-backs' first four batters of the third inning reached via a single or walk. After Konrad Schmidt grounded out to drive in a run, his first in the Majors, McDonald delivered his clutch homer off Greinke to put his team ahead for good, 7-5. "It was great, coming back after they scored in the top of inning," McDonald said. "That's something we haven't done a whole lot of. It was definitely a positive." Brad Ziegler, David Hernandez and J.J. Putz all worked perfect innings to close out the game. Saturday was Putz's bobblehead night at Chase Field. "To watch our bullpen pitch the way they did," McDonald said, "that reminded a lot of people of what we're capable of doing and what we need to do to be success for this year."

RALEIGH, N.C. With Maple Leafs VP of hockey operations Dave Nonis expected to be named as Team Canadas general manager for the upcoming world hockey championships, the next task at hand will be to fill out a roster.
Judging by the players who already have publicly said theyd like to be part of the experience in Slovakia, where the tournament runs from April 29-May 15, Nonis and potential assistant Rob Blake look to have some prime talent at their disposal.
With the competition still six weeks away, the New York Islanders John Tavares and the Ottawa Senators Jason Spezza already have expressed their desire to represent this country should their teams fail to reach the NHL playoffs. Given the standings entering play Wednesday, thats a pretty safe bet.
(The playoffs) are the main goal, Tavares told the Toronto Sun last week. Thats the focus.
If it doesnt work out, well, I would be proud and flattered to be invited (by Hockey Canada) for Team Canada.
Tavares scored seven goals in seven games for Canada at last years worlds in Germany.
Spezza. meanwhile, has won a pair of silver medals while representing Team Canada at the worlds, but is motivated by the opportunity to capture that elusive gold.
Players understandably will not be named to the individual teams competing in the worlds until the conclusion of the 2010-11 regular season in 31/2 weeks. Having said that, there already are some obvious candidates emerging.
Matt Moulson, Tavaress linemate with the Islanders, would stand to get a long look. having reached the 30-goal mark with 11 games still to play. Colorado forward Matt Duchene, Edmonton rookie Jordan Eberle, Florida forward Stephen Weiss and St. Louis winger Chris Stewart also are good bets to warrant consideration from Hockey Canada, especially since their respective NHL clubs appear to be longshots at best to make the playoffs.
As for the Leafs, defenceman Luke Schenn and, perhaps, rookie goaltender James Reimer come to mind, although both are still hoping Toronto can make a late-season push into the postseason. Forward Clarke MacArthur would be a good pick but, with his contract running out at the end of the season, would Nonis and his staff still give him the nod?
Whatever happens, it should be an interesting few weeks for Nonis and Blake, who are expected to officially be named during a press conference in Toronto on Thursday.

Bill McCurry is chairman of McCurry Associates, a consulting firm based in Princeton, N.J. He is a regular speaker at industry events like OFA Short Course, where he led discussions on family business this year and divulged strategies to bring older and younger generations together for common goals. Bill has advised many growers through difficult financial situations, helping them buy, sell or restructure their business.
One of your Short Course sessions this year was designed to offer parents strategies for advancing their kids in the family business, and another was geared toward kids and how they can become successful CEOs. How did those sessions turn out?
"Well actually, a lot of parents were upset that their kids did not get up in time for the 9:30 a.m. session. I said to the parents of these kids that they are naive if they do not take that behavior as an indication of how serious their kid is about the business. It's not that the kids won't continue living if they don't attend my sessions. The point is that it's important for kids to have a certain amount of knowledge going forward in the family business–and these sessions are stepping stones to acquiring that knowledge. These kids don't have to possess every skill to be successful CEOs. The CEO needs to surround themselves with people who complement them. If the CEO has to have all the skills, then the CEO of an airline has to also be a pilot, a mechanic and a flight attendant. Obviously, that's not practical. So what this process at OFA does is help identify the CEO's strengths and weakness. First, though, we have to identify what a CEO needs to be. The process has to be objective, and that's what we attempt to do with both sides."
But what if these kids have other career goals and aspirations and want nothing to do with the family business?
"There are a lot of families and friends of family who say, 'Oh, isn't it nice you're going to be the fourth generation?' It's not always that nice for every kid, though. For example, I met a daughter who had graduated with a degree in secondary education–and she's now in the family business. If she really wanted to be in the business, why did she get a degree in secondary education? I'm thinking, 'There is something wrong with this picture and everybody needs to wake up.' The parent was totally oblivious, had a fully inflated ego and couldn't see that the daughter had no desire to follow in somebody's footsteps."
So how do you bring different generations of family together to resolve their differences?
"Every family is different, and each family has its own issues. I met with one the other day and wound up saying, 'Look, here are two family counselors who specialize in business environment.' This family was not communicating, there was no respect and business was not going to survive because of that dynamic. There was visible hatred, and when that's the case, you have two options: Sell and get 10 cents on the dollar because the thing is imploding on you; or, you can try to heal the family over. A lot of the time, it's a Hatfield-and-McCoy situation where both parties really want to keep the feud alive. Sometimes, you've got to know when to walk away."
What advice would you offer families with kids who recently graduated from college and are interested in working in the family business?
"No kids should work in the family business after they've finished their education until they've worked at least three years someplace else. The kids get out of school, the kids have to get real jobs on their own with their skills and they have to be gone for three years so they accomplish something on their own merits. Then, after three years and up to 333 years, they can come back to the family and get interviewed, if there's a potential opening. There should be no full-time automatic employment in the business."

iframe scroller position in main page
Hi there!
Here's the situation:
I have an Iframe in the middle of a page (iframe id=myframe) on which is applied a script. The script auto-adjust its size according to the content. The height of the content is mostly longer than the main page (the one that contains the iframe), so I set the y-overflow visible.
Here's the problem:
The Iframe scrollbar cuts the page in half. I wished that the scrollbar would be at the very right of the page. Is there any way to move the scrollbar away from the iframe itself? Or would it be possible to set the iframe width to fit with the end of the page (so that the scrollbar is at the maximum right of the main page)?.
Hope my question is clear... Here's a picture in case.
Thank you in advance.

I found the answer.
Sorry, i wish i could delete the thread (also, not in the good category).
I used this script :
<script type='text/javascript'> function iframer() { // get width of #content frame_x = $('#content').width(); // get height of #menu frame_y = $('#menu').height(); // apply height and width $('#iframe').css('width', frame_x); $('#iframe').css('height', frame_y); } $(document).ready( function() { iframer(); } ); $(window).resize( function() { iframer(); } ); </script>

IT was supposed to be a celebration of the past by the men charged with carrying the Broncos into the future.
Instead the opening night of the club's 25th anniversary roadshow left the Broncos deflated and their character in question after being run over by a Manly side brilliantly led by Daly Cherry-Evans.
All the hype over the milestone quickly disappeared as Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin lamented a lack of desire in the second half of the 22-14 loss.
"I thought we just rolled over early in that second half," he said.
"Ten minutes before halftime Manly looked like they couldn't pick their feet up when we wanted to control possession and come at them.
"We just didn't earn the right early in the second half to grind the game out."
Check out the full match stats, SuperCoach points and more in our new MATCH CENTRE
Watched by 31,139 spectators on a drizzly night, the mood turned from expectation to desperation as the Broncos failed to score in the second half.
"There were plenty of turning points in that second half when we could have won it," said captain Sam Thaiday.
"We were too soft in ourselves.
"If you want to take anything out of that game it was all the disappointed faces in (the dressing room).
"I know how disappointed we are just for a round one match and if we had a harder edge about us we could have ran way with that game."
Brisbane's deceleration in the second half was matched only by Manly's acceleration, the skills of Cherry-Evans and the courage of backrower Anthony Watmough who dominated despite carrying a rib injury into the match and will continue to carry for the rest of the season.
The former Test forward added an ankle injury to his ailments, which will need scans over the weekend.
The Broncos led 14-6 at halftime but it fell apart in 10 nightmare minutes for the home side in the second half.
Tries to Steve Matai, Cherry-Evans and winger David Williams turned the contest on its head.
Griffin said there were few positives.
The halves combination of Peter Wallace and Scott Prince failed to ignite after halftime and Corey Norman looked out of sorts at fullback.
But the form of forward Alex Glenn and Justin Hodges could not be much better.
Hodges refuses to be outdone, not even by his Test and State of Origin teammate Greg Inglis who cut the Roosters to shreds 24 hours earlier.
Hodges fought a earth shuddering battle all night with Matai and the honours were split despite the Kiwis' two-try effort.
The centre was Brisbane's most dangerous weapon and the man most likely to break Manly's line.
Defensive lapses elsewhere cost the Broncos dearly, and their halfback, five-eighth and fullback combination is not yet what coach Griffin needs it to be.
Manly seemed intent on playing their hosts into form by conceding six penalties, mostly from ruck infringements, in the first 20 minutes.

Rabs reckons it's one of the great rugby league tries. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. You be the judge.
The Broncos' social media person's take is probably closer to the mark.

8.35pm AEDT - MATAI HITS BACK FOR MANLY

Nicely worked try from Manly. Good hands.
Jamie Lyon hits the extra two. Broncos lead 8-6 27 minutes into the first half.
8.27pm AEDT - HODGES SUPERB
Justin Hodges, what a machine.
The big Origin centre is way too strong out on the right edge, beating and holding off defenders before scooping a pass into the bread basket of Matt Gillett, who strolls over next to the posts.
Scott Prince adds the two points.
Broncos lead 8-0 after 20 minutes.
8.21pm AEDT - MCCULLOUGH HAS TRY DISALLOWED
Andrew McCullough is ruled to have fallen narrowly short of the line after a burrowing run after 12 minutes.
The Broncos are still awarded a penalty as Anthony Watmough is ruled to have not been square at marker and Scott Prince takes the two points.
2-0 Brisbane.

It's quite a prediction, given the Sea Eagles have made eight consecutive finals series and were a game away from the grand final last year.
Matty Johns also said today that Manly coach Geoff Toovey and his Brisbane Broncos counterpart Anthony Griffin are facing the toughest years of their careers if they are live up to the high expectations on both clubs.
Now it's time for the players to do the talking.

Love rat Lee Ryan faces stab plot
POLICE were last night set to investigate threats to murder reality show love rat Lee Ryan.
In chilling online posts, sick trolls vowed to stab the pop hunk on his eviction from the telly house.
Lee's management team contacted police over the threatening messages, fearing a genuine attack would happen.
Security will be beefed up at Elstree Studios, Herts, on eviction nights to prevent a live situation.
Lee, 30, became a hate figure among viewers after flings with rival babes Casey Batchelor, 29, and Jasmine Waltz, 31, on the Channel 5 show.
The backlash from fans began when he enjoyed a string of romps with Casey, then dumped her for US star Jasmine.
One vile message read: "You say you like damaged girls - I'm going to damage you when you come out of the house #stabyou #damage."
Another twisted post said: "I'll be waiting on the outside for you #stabyou."
A source close to Lee last night told the Daily Star Sunday: "The threats are too serious to ignore.
"It's terrifying to think people are prepared to go that far.
"Lee was expecting some viewers not to like him but it is getting too extreme.
"He's not perfect but he doesn't deserve threats like this."
Lee's management initially contacted the police last Wednesday after the first threat was made but there have been more since.
"He's not perfect but he doesn't deserve threats like this"A source close to Lee Ryan
Our insider added: "Threats of stabbing are incredibly worrying for everyone who works with Lee and for his friends and family.
"His team wanted to flag it up with police so it can be dealt with appropriately." Lee returned to the house on Friday night after two days locked in the "bolt-hole" as part of a CBB twist.
The earliest he could leave the series is during Wednesday's eviction, when he is likely to get a negative reaction from the crowd.
A show source said: "Security will be extra tight. Whenever a housemate is hated this much, every measure possible is taken to make sure they are safe.
"For all we know someone who will be in the crowd could be plotting to stab him when he leaves. We can't risk that happening."
Lee's Blue bandmates Duncan James, 35, and Antony Costa, 32, have been the subject of violent threats in the past, including a bomb threat sent by a Twitter user last year. Police searched their houses but nothing was found.
A source close to the pop band said: "Lee's management has dealt with this kind of thing before and didn't want to let something happen.
"They are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Lee safe and stop the sick people sending threats."

Rock, Paper, Scissors ADR
Via Howard B., I came across this judicial order requiring parties to a lawsuit to engage in a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to settle a discovery dispute. Perhaps the lawyers ought to buy the strategy guide before playing?
Of course, this isn't the only time in recent years that real-world decisions have been turned over to the RPS strategy. Remember the multi-million dollar auction game? But you've got to think that there are better ways to resolve discovery problems. Like, say, jousting.
UPDATE: I should surf more. Volokh and Prawfs are already on this. You might wonder why judges don't issue entertaining orders like this more often – they get lots of attention, resulting in increased fame and possibly better clerk candidates.

Brazilian League Roundup, Oct. 17
Ronaldo had two goals ruled offside in his return to for Corinthians, which was held to a scoreless draw with Guarani in the Brazilian league on Sunday to extend its winless streak to seven matches.
The result did little to quell the pressure from fans disappointed with the team's recent struggles, but kept the popular club within striking distance of leader Cruzeiro, which lost 2-1 to Gremio in Porto Alegre.
With eight rounds to go, Cruzeiro has 54 points, one more than second-place Fluminense and four more than Corinthians. Fluminense was held to a 0-0 draw with Botafogo.
Ronaldo, playing for the first time in 10 matches, had his goals disallowed in close calls in the 5th and 20th minutes at the Brinco de Ouro da Princesa stadium in Campinas. Both times he positioned himself just in line with Guarani defenders and easily found the net, but the linesman each time said the striker was a step ahead of his opponents. TV images showed Ronaldo appeared to be onside for at least one of the goals.
The 33-year-old Ronaldo was still far from his best, but posed a constant threat to Guarani. His best chance to score came from a close-range header that went just wide in the 71st.
"That really was a missed chance," Ronaldo said. "We also had the two goals disallowed, but overall it was a good return."
It was only Ronaldo's fourth match in the Brazilian league this year. The three-time FIFA player of the year hadn't played since Sept. 8, when he scored in a 1-1 draw with Atletico Paranaense.
About 200 fans attended Corinthians' training session on Saturday to protest against Ronaldo, demanding that he improve his physical condition and stop using Corinthians as a personal "spa."
Ronaldo's veteran teammate Roberto Carlos also was far from his best Sunday and was substituted in the second half.
Corinthians, seeking their first national league title since 2005, hasn't won since a 3-2 victory at Santos on Sept. 22. The team is without a coach since Adilson Batista quit after a defeat last Sunday, but president Andres Sanchez said he expects to close a deal to sign veteran manager Tite on Monday.
Cruzeiro missed a chance to increase its league lead despite scoring first against Gremio at Olimpico stadium.
Argentine playmaker Walter Montillo scored in the 28th, but Gremio rallied with goals by Junior Vicosa in first-half injury time and by league-leading striker Jonas from a penalty kick in the 75th – his 20th goal.
The result extended Gremio's unbeaten streak to eight matches and moved the two-time national champion to seventh place. Cruzeiro hadn't lost in four matches.
Fluminense could have taken over the lead had it beaten Botafogo at Engenhao stadium, but it failed to do better than a draw in the matchup between Fluminense Argentine playmaker Dario Conca and Botafogo Uruguay striker Sebastian Abreu.
Also Sunday, right back Jean scored three minutes into second-half injury time to give Sao Paulo a 4-3 win over fourth-place Santos at Morumbi stadium. The six-time champion got the win despite playing a man down from the 58th after midfielder Richarlyson was sent off for a hard foul.
Atletico Mineiro defeated Avai 2-0 in Minas Gerais, while four-time champion Palmeiras – without injured Chile playmaker Jorge Valdivia – was held to a 1-1 home draw with Ceara. Palmeiras midfielder Marcos Assuncao scored his fourth free-kick goal in the last six matches.
In Salvador, Colombian goalkeeper Julian Viafara scored from a penalty to help Vitoria beat last-place Prudente 2-0.

Speed mead
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
The Securities and Exchange Commission, the agency that is being closely watched because of its egregious failures such as turning a blind eye to the Madoff Ponzi scheme, has recently done one laudable job and muffed another in San Diego.
First, the praise. Today (Oct. 26), U.S. District Judge Irma E. Gonzalez turned over to the U.S. Attorney's office the case of Alfred Louis (Bobby) Vassallo for criminal contempt of court prosecution. As has been noted here in several columns and blog items, Vassallo fleeced San Diego investors in a scam called Presto Telecommunications. In 2005, the federal court ordered Vassallo to pay about $2 million in various costs and penalties, enjoined him from committing sales of unregistered securities, misrepresenting ownership and control of companies and misappropriating investor funds. But Vassallo has not paid a cent. The SEC made a convincing case that he has done everything he had been enjoined from doing, including misappropriating investor funds. He is taking the Fifth, but now faces long-overdue criminal charges. Actually, Presto is just one of a long string of capers Vassallo has been involved in, but it looks like there will be some action.
Then the pabulum. According to the Union-Tribune, four former City officials have settled SEC allegations of misleading bond buyers about the City's pension health. Former City Manager Michael Uberuaga, former Auditor Ed Ryan, former Deputy City Manager Patricia Frazier and former Treasurer Mary Vattimo have agreed to settle the SEC charges. They will say they acted negligently. Frazier, Ryan, and Uberuaga will pay fines of $25,000 and Vattimo $5,000. The case has been heard and eviscerated in federal court, where the settlements were filed Friday, according to the U-T.
We await the outcome of the Presto criminal contempt matter, and I a personally glad all of the city job titles list above were prefaced with "former".
You'd think that the settlement terms of admitting negligence just might be a bond rating factor. I wonder if the voters realize that the timing of the settlement and the potential impact on the city's general obligations... oh never mind. I'm sure you are already sketching out a future feature on that topic.
A funny thought: I wonder how many search engines made a decision to categorize this blog post entitled "SEC: One Touchdown, One Fumble" as something about a college football recap... or maybe you are too cool for school!

Response to post #1: Fraud was originally charged. It got reduced to negligence. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #2: Frankly, that never occurred to me. The SEC is an acronym for one of the toughest college conferences in the nation. Yes, I wonder what search engines did with this. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #3: I have no idea how long your wait will be. Best, Don Bauder
"I wonder what search engines did with this"
I just searched for SEC and football on google, and your blog post was listed number 2!
Response to post #7: I'm told the SEC (the Securities and Exchange Commission) posted it on its internal blog. Best, Don Bauder
When Bobby goes to jail and the inmates get through with him his nickname will be Vaseline Vassallo.

I am sort of shocked the guy is not already in jail, in for a long time.
I guesss white collar fraud is not viewed as a serious crime in San Diego.
Response to post #9: Unless he gets sent to a country club prison, as so many white collar criminal are. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #10: Of course white collar crime is downplayed in San Diego. That's been going on for a long time. The Justice Department wants U.S. attorneys to focus on the border. The current DA and city attorney are both looking the other way on white collar crime. The AG is currently ineffective. Why do you think so many sharks locate to San Diego? They can see it is a wide-open town for money hustlers. Best, Don Bauder

Many parents today are looking for a different approach to vaccines. But most doctors feel that the standard vaccine schedule is so important that they are unwilling to work with such parents. Well, I have good news. Times are changing. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that doctors work with parents who have questions and concerns and want to do things a little differently. The new AAP guidelines are listed in the 2006 Red Book of Infectious Diseases – a manual that almost every pediatrician owns. In the Book, the AAP suggests:
A non-judgmental approach is best. Listen carefully and respectfully to the parent's concerns.
Inform the parents of the risks and benefits of each vaccine as well as the risks of each disease.
For parents who are concerned about multiple vaccines at one visit, develop a schedule that spreads the vaccines out.
Continued refusal to vaccinate after adequate discussion should be respected (unless the child is at significant risk of serious harm during an epidemic).
In general, pediatricians should avoid dismissing patients from their practice solely because of refusal to vaccinate.
But parents who have concerns and extra questions about vaccines need to understand the best way to talk to their doctor. You can't wait until your baby's two-month appointment, wait until your doctor is done examining the baby, then suddenly hit the doctor with a dozen questions. It takes a good 15 to 30 minutes to discuss vaccine concerns and options in detail. Us doctors don't have the time to do this within the normal amount of time allotted to a regular checkup. You have to schedule a separate appointment, preferable well before your baby's first shots are due. That way you and your doctor have a nice chunk of time directly devoted to discussing vaccines, without having to go over all the other questions and concerns of a normal checkup.
What can you do if your doctor won't work with you? Find another doctor. I know it isn't easy, and my Vaccine Friendly Doctor database (see the home page) will hopefully grow bigger and bigger over the years so patients all over the U.S. can find a doctor near them who will happily discuss vaccine options. You can help it grow by asking any vaccine-friendly doctor you know to contact me through the website.

LANSING, Mich., Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday she won't take a Cabinet post in the incoming Obama administration.
The two-term governor had been speculated to be a prime contender for secretary of labor. But a gubernatorial spokeswoman told The Detroit News Granholm's not interested and would not accept if President-elect Barack Obama offered her the job.
"The governor made it clear she does not want to be considered at this time," said Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd.
"She is interested only in working on the big issues facing this state: Growing the economy and creating jobs."
Boyd deflected a question about whether the 49-year-old governor had been vetted by the Obama transition team, saying "that's not material."
Other names floated as possible labor secretary candidates include Ed McElroy, former president of the American Federation of Teachers; Linda Chavez-Thompson, former AFL-CIO vice president; Mary Beth Maxwell, executive director of American Rights at Work; and Maria Echaveste, former Clinton White House adviser, the News said.

We know what Melo did in his career, but we're looking at the Melo of 2011-12.
To even bring Michael Jordan in this conversation...you're reaching and disrespecting the GOAT. Im sure you can come up with better logic than that.
The Melo of 2011-2012 even with his shooting slump was never questioned as one of the elite scorers/game changers in the league, period. Everyone was just waiting for him to get his A game back, which he did.

There is the button to download your own pic in jpg which I think is a sweet function. The only problem is that the sides of the images get cut off a bit. Anyone else has this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
Any help is much appreciated!
