Starbucks has declared that it has stopped using the red liquid coloring called "cochineal" used in Strawberry & Cream Frappuccino etc… The raw material of it is surprising, it's insects. The fact that cochineal is squeezed out from insects is actually pretty well known, but how they look is not pleasant.
What the heck is this? Yes, this is the cochineal. The look of it is VERY..well, bugs.
How they use it is, they melt dried cochineal insects in boiling water and squeeze the color out. Then the coloring is used for snacks, meat, jams, soft drinks, and shaved ice syrups and so on. If the product's ingredients say cochineal, it's these insects. Do you call this natural?
In the meantime, Starbucks announced that their Strawberry & Cream Frappuccino and Strawberry Banana Smoothies stop using cochineal, but not every store at the same time. It means, cochineal is still used at the moment somewhere.
Although you could overlook it pretending you didn't see this, and if there's no bad effect to your body what's the big deal, the problem is not that.
According to CNN, the reason they stop using it is, "It goes against consumer's expectation." They must have had a lot of complains, but Starbucks fans would still buy the drinks even though they announced they're from bugs now.
They say they'll use other natural alternatives for food coloring, but whether it's insects or something else, it seems like it still is strawberries. Therefore, it's not clear if cochineal is harmless to human bodies. And it goes the same for the other coloring. There might be things better not to know in the world.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello summoners, and welcome to my jungle Renekton guide for season 4! My ign is BubbleBursts, I was platinum 1 during season 3.
Here is my lolking: profile
I am hoping to inspire and introduce jungle Renekton into normal gaming experience.
I started jungle renekton in season 3 and ended up with very good win streak during my ranked games in platinum. I was like 25 win - 10 lose in a week once.
When patch 3.14 happened with new mastery and changes to the new items, it is totally a buff for jungle Renekton! (Spirit of Elder Lizard has higher true damage, and new passive Bounty Hunter that earn gold!
Doran blade is now 440 gold, and kindlegem is only 850 gold now too.)
This guide is still under development and I will try to record more ranked game videos to show how op jungle Renekton is.
Pros / Cons
+ Fast jungle clear (as fast as shyv, mundo after getting Spirit of Elder Lizard)
+ Lose very little hp from jungle
+ Tanky since mid game
+ Can kill wards instantly with (aa + W) or (fury W)
+ Incredible damage
+ Good ganks (2 gap close, 1 stun)
+ Can jump over walls and easily
+ First E (slice) does not consume fury
+ Manaless
+ Health steroid from ult
+ Tons of AOE damage
+ Good turret diver
+ Good initiator
+ Dive enemy back line easily
+ Very fast (split) pusher
- Rely on hitting first E
- Can be kited
- The wall at base are very difficult to E over
I only lost 300 hp from golem -> wraiths -> wolves -> Wights at lv 3-4. (see video at the Jungle start Chapter)
Renekton does clear very fast, especially after getting Spirit of Elder Lizard.
Reign of Anger
Passive that doubles our fury gains from both auto attacks and abilities when under 50% health points. Great for faster jungling under 50% health. Great during team fights, allowing you to build fury faster increasing your damage and utility by empowering your spells more often.
The damage of W is 10/30/50/70/90 (+1.5 ad) without fury
15/45/75/105/145 (+2.25 ad) with fury.
Leveling Q increase damage by 30/45 (+ more heal)
Leveling W only increase damage by 20/30 (without/with fury) (which is nothing compare to Q,E) and less cd.
Leveling E increase damage by 60/(75 + 0.45ad) and less cd
First E (slice) does not consume fury
If we take cd into account, leveling Q increase damage output the most.
So max Q first, then E, and lastly W.
When you gank someone, and he starts running, you can E into minions and then E again for 2 gap closer.
When fights breaks out and you need fury, E into minion wave and Q. (Try to use fury on W)
When team fights breaks out and you need fury, E into enemy team and Q. (Use fury on Q, or W for squishy target)
This video (showing me diving shen top lane) illustrate some important points of his abilities and how to put them into use.
important points: - escape with double E.
- save fury for W
- Use Q,R to get more fury.
- jungle short cuts using E
Renekton full combo videos
You need to know how to full combo with Renekton : (E -> aa -> Q -> aa -> W -> aa -> E), or (E -> aa -> W -> aa -> Q -> aa -> E). (try to use fury on Q or W)
This video shows the full combo (E -> aa -> fury W -> aa -> Q -> aa -> E)
This video shows full combo with exhaust
This video from 0:23 to 0:35 (end) shows you an example of how to full combo in fights. (aa -> W -> aa -> E -> aa -> Q -> ...)
Rune pages
Armor pen gives Renekton much more damage output mid and late game.
Flat Armor seals are 100% needed for jungle, and against a team with some AD.
CDR is very important for Renekton, Renekton is manaless so the lower the CDR, the more damage output. With mastery, Renekton has 12.5% CDR lv 1.
Attack damage give Renekton damage early game, easier clear. (All his skills scale with AD)
I use two different mastery page for jungle Renekton. Primarily I use the 9-21-0 page. The other one is 21-9-0.
Comparing the two pages, the 9-21-0 helps more in clearing jungle and losing less hp in fights/jungle. Since I am building tanky, this mastery page would be better.
The other mastery page is this: if you want to overwhelm the enemy with your damage, go for it.
Summoner Spells
This is a must for jungles. Renekton can easily ensure dragon/baron kill with fury W + smite. (similar to nunu's consume + smite, voli's bite + smite ...)
I use exhaust on Renekton because with exhaust Renekton can basically 1on1 anyone and even 1on2. (Renekton can 1on1 most champs without exhaust anyway)
Exhaust is extremely good if Renekton wants to target someone. Use full combo on someone: E into him, aa + fury W, aa + Q, (when stun ends, exhaust him), aa + E. The enemy will have no change to do any damage.
Flash will be the alternative to exhaust. Flash gives Renekton extremely easy gank. Renekton has 2 gap closer from skills (relay on hitting first E). Flash will give him 3 gap closer and ensure Renekton to hit the first E!
Jungle start
I start with skill Q, Hunter's Machete, 3 pots and most importantly Warding Totem.
When game starts, guard blue (make sure enemy does not ward blue to smite steal)
Smite blue at 1:55 and finish blue. (1 pot will be used here)
Go straight to red (smite will be up since it has cd 40 sec), and use Warding totem to ward over wall (see video below). Walk to the bush to ensure no one is there to steal red. Now you can kill red using smite with 100% safety. (1 pot will be used here, you will probably have about 300 hp)
Go finish wraiths, and wolves (you may have to use 1 pot here, usually u don't need to). You will have enough gold to buy spirit stone. Recall and buy Spirit stone and sell Warding Totem to buy Sweeping Lens for ganking purposes!
But of course, u dont have to start this way. You can always start (smite red -> smite blue) and other orders as well.
When Renekton get Spirit of Elder Lizard, Renekton will be able to clear any non-buff camp with his full combo.
(E -> aa -> Q -> aa -> W -> aa -> E), or (E -> aa -> W -> aa -> Q -> aa -> E)
This video show the jungle start: (Smite blue -> smite red -> wraiths -> wolves -> recall) (Golem -> Wraiths -> Wolves -> Wights)
This video is a ranked game showing the same start but had to gank after red.
Spirit of Elder Lizard
Spirit of Elder Lizard is extremely good for Renekton and it is the first item I finish for jungle Renekton. It increase his jungle clear speed so much.
Sometimes I get Spirit of Elder Lizard for top Renekton as well.
When Renekton get Spirit of Elder Lizard, Renekton will be able to clear any non-buff camp with his full combo. Jungle Renekton is one of the fastest jungler, similar to mundo, but Renekton lose less hp doing jungle.
Spirit of Elder Lizard's true damage passive works with aa,Q,W,E and even his aoe effects from R.
30 ad, 10% cdr, true damage, conservation, +30% damage on monster, (14 hp regen) are extremely good on Renekton.
This game I carried the team and out level everyone.
(Jungle) Shortcuts
The are many shortcuts you can take using Renekton's E. The following picture basically shows all of them but it missed a few at wolves and base.
Missed shortcut at base:
Renekton is a fast jungler (full game play videos)
Here are several full game play videos:
When you evaluate how fast a jungler renekton is, consider the following:
- Level relative to solo lanes, bot lane.
- How long it takes to clear camps and move through camps
Video 1 (Platinum 1):
Video 2 (Platinum 1): This game went back and forth so many times.
Enemy jungler matchup
This Chapter is still under development.
The difficulty rating is between 1-10.
Fiddlesticks is one of the most bothersome enemy jungler. His fear can disturb many of your plans. Fiddlesticks' counter gank are very strong against renekton. And Fiddlesticks has potential to carry his team by using his ult wisely. But in terms of counter jungling and 1on1 with Fiddlesticks, Renekton can catch fiddle pretty easily and kill him in his jungle. Renekton has 2 gap closer and he can stun fiddle when fiddle try to drain.
Difficulty = 8
Hecarim is also a pretty even matchup because Hecarim has the potential to put up more ganks. But in terms of strength, Renekton is better.
Difficulty = 4
Lee Sin is weaker than Renekton. Lee also jungle slower than Renekton. And Renekton's gap closer is more reliable.
Difficulty = 3
Master Yi cannot do anything against you. Renekton out damage, out jungle and out gank master yi through out the game, especially early and mid. Renekton can easily stop yi's mediate using stun. There is no worries unless yi is fed and it is late game when yi shines.
Difficulty = 2
Shaco is not a problem for Renekton. Starting mid game, Renekton can instant kill his boxes with Q or W. Renekton can also use the boxes as a step to land his first E. Shaco is way too squishy and Renekton can easily 1on1 Shaco and win. Renekton can counter gank Shaco easily as well. When Renekton gets tanky, Shaco will always try to run away from you and choose squishier targets.
Difficulty = 3
Udyr and Renekton is a pretty even matchup. Their jungle speed is similar and they are both very mobile. They both has damage but Renekton has an upper advantage in aoe damage and gap closing.
Difficulty = 6
Volibear hates Renekton because Renekton has tons of burst damage. When volibear's passive is activating, Renekton can instant kill volibear using his full combo, or even just fury W.
Difficulty = 3
Xin Zhao is a slower jungler than Renekton. Renekton also have a more reliable stun and have far more sustain and tankiness than xin zhao. Renekton has tons of aoe damage while xin zhao does not.
Difficulty = 3
Zac is a very good ganker and he is tanky with a lot of close range cc. He has a good passive as well. But Renekton can kill Zac's 4 blobs very easily since Renekton's Q, E, and R are all aoe. They are pretty even in terms of strength.
Difficulty = 6

Re: Firmware update failure
Expand Messages
- Thanks, couldn't have fixed it without you.
I now have my Linkstation back and running 1.44 but with slightly
different steps to yours.
I couldn't get Mandrake to work correctly with my setup but Suse 9.3
running from a DVD recognised and mounted the drive on bootup. I
still couldn't see the Linkstation though. What I then tried was
powering it on with the reset button already held in. It then booted
up with all the lights permanently lit and flashing. I then ran the
firmware updater and it found the device (using crossover) but it
had a different name. HD-HLAN-EM and a firmware version of 3.00! It
took 3 (firmware went to 0.00) failed attempts to apply but on the
4th it finally worked!
I wonder if maybe we could have just gone straight into this 'HD-
HLAN-EM' mode and not dismantled the unit?
Anyway thanks again for all your help, if I ever break my
Linkstation again I'll try 'HD-HLAN-EM' and let you know if it works.

We hired a Landcruiser from Sunworld for two weeks in January.
Car was enormous - a proper 9-seat safari vehicle with sunroof and safari hatch. Car was very well maintained and reliable, but is not modern, e.g. no air-conditioning. In a place like Kenya that's a good thing, as there's less parts to break.
Included was an extensive set of camping and cooking equipment - basically everything you need to be comfortable. Only warning is to leave the Kerosene lanterns in Nairobi - they spill on bumpy roads and make quite a mess. The included electric lanterns are more than sufficient.
Some minor damage to the back (my fault) was treated professionally on return - no attempt at overcharging and it was all resolved quickly and smoothly.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Ecolife Conservation, Escondido, CA, USA
Bill Toone, the founder and heart of Ecolife, is passionate about what he has started, which might best be described as an unusual blend of environmental and humanitarian causes. Ecolife seeks to help preserve natural resources while improving the lives of those who depend on those resources. In addition to seeking direct donations, Ecolife raises funds and awareness by organizing trips to the locations on which they focus. In Michoacan, Mexico, the dual focus is preserving the overwintering habitat of the eastern Monarch butterflies while providing safer, more fuel efficient stoves for the local people who use wood from the trees on which the butterflies cluster for warmth. The health of the families who have the stoves is greatly benefitted and fewer trees are cut down for fuel. We have traveled twice with Ecolife to Mexico. Watching millions of butterflies virtually explode from the trees is mind blowing. After our first wonderful trip, we returned the next year with 5 friends, who were similarly blown away by the experience. We visited the homes of families who had the stoves and saw the appreciation of these families for the many improvements in their lives that the stoves had bestowed - better respiratory health, fewer children being burning, less time spent searching for wood. When we pulled up to these homes in our bus, neighbor women hurried over to tell us how they hoped to have their own stoves soon. Bill Toone and Ecolife played a key role in establishing a pact between the California EPA and its counterpart in Mexico to start a program that would plant a million trees in Michoacan as carbon credits for California businesses. The friends that we introduced to Ecolife have pledged to return to help plant trees. Bill's and his staff's energy and enthusiasm are infectious. They have found a way to combine their efforts in a way that benefits the environment, the local people and all of us who have been touched by their generosity and passion.

Paid by the public
I couldn't help but take note of the inherent irony highlighted by reading two articles in Thursday's Globe: Kelly Grant's piece, Ban Sought On Medical Tourism, and Margaret Wente's column, Crime Is Plunging, But Police Costs Are Soaring.
Ms. Grant writes that "hospital budgets have been essentially frozen for three years" in Ontario. That's led to hospitals looking to cash-paying tourists as a potential source of revenue and raised concerns over possible increased wait times for Ontarians.
Meanwhile, Ms. Wente points out that despite falling crime rates, the Ontario Provincial Police received an 8.5-per-cent pay raise this year.
How is it that we are paying more for a service we need less of and freezing budgets for a service our aging society needs more of?
Rob Parsons, Ingersoll, Ont.
The average firefighter salary is well below $100,000 per year. Most of the firefighters on the Sunshine List are senior platoon or district chiefs, captains and lieutenants who have been on the job many years and provide experience and leadership in our fire halls.
Front-line firefighters appearing on the Sunshine List usually do so because of one-time lump sum payments, such as retroactive payments triggered through a negotiated settlement or arbitration award.
Arbitrators are required by statute to consider a municipality's ability to pay when determining an award. What Margaret Wente and others are doing is confusing "ability to pay" with "willingness to pay."
Firefighters have chosen an inherently risky job. We respond to emergencies that can take a great toll on our health and welfare. We also conduct public education and inspections to help prevent many of these same emergencies.
The best part for Ontarians?
We provide this service for less than a dollar a day from the typical Ontario household.
Mark McKinnon, president, Ontario Professional Firefighters Association
For years, arbitration boards have been handing out huge salaries. With no actual stake in the outcome, they seem oblivious to the debt they are putting on the backs of taxpayers.
Unions, knowing they will get the best deal by pushing things to arbitration, now routinely try to go this route.
It is time to rethink the practicality of arbitration boards, as to continue will mean more indebtedness for all municipalities.
Police chiefs have us over a barrel, as everyone wants to be safe and secure. The problem is we are reaching the financial breaking point in our ability to pay for this service. A big chunk of policing costs involves overtime, something else that needs evaluating.
Larry Comeau, Ottawa
Police, fire and ambulance services – the holy trinity of fear-mongering when anyone tries to rein in their salaries.
William Nguyen, Vancouver
In the crossfire
Re Killed With A Knife (letters, April 17): Even police officers who are supposed to be trained in how to use guns responsibly can get it wildly wrong – how can we forget the shooting of Sammy Yatim on a streetcar in Toronto?
Putting guns in the hands of "everyone" would cause chaos. Can you imagine if those at the party in Calgary had had guns and had fired them at Matthew de Grood? How many others might have been caught in the crossfire?
Christopher Kelk, Toronto
Vouch for it
It isn't that people don't have identification, it's that under the Fair Elections Act they need ID that establishes who they are and where they live, so things like passports and health cards won't do it (Fair Elections Logic – letters, April 17).
As a deputy returning officer (DRO) in the past few elections, I saw vouching a number of times – seniors, often husbands, vouching for wives without driver's licences or household bills in their own name.
I'd like to see the vouching process made easier for poll clerks and DROs to implement and not see legitimate voters made to feel like second-class citizens. Perhaps Pierre Poilievre didn't spend enough time at a polling station before drafting his legislation.

LRT's fast track
When proponents talk about light rail transit, they do not mean the streetcars seen in Toronto (Doesn't Interfere? – April 17).
Look rather to Calgary's C-Train and Vancouver's Sky Train, also to many large European cities.
These trains travel on raised rails and they definitely do not interfere with traffic. This is the urban travel mode of the future and we are missing out on it because people like Toronto Mayor Rob Ford keep saying: Look at St. Clair Avenue. Please don't.

Mr. Flaherty's legacy
Re A Final Farewell To Jim Flaherty (April 17): By all accounts, Jim Flaherty was an amiable, reasonable, principled man and an effective politician; if some media reports and his virtual canonization by the Conservatives are to be believed, he was among the greatest finance ministers ever.
While I'll leave an analysis of his economic legacy to economists, pundits and the cold calculus of economic facts, Mr. Flaherty certainly had the luck of the Irish. He inherited from the Liberals one of the strongest balance sheets in the OECD.
As well, he benefited from the lowest interest rates in decades, which kept the government's borrowing costs down.
Throw in a strong Liberal-built central banking system, a smart-as-a-whip Bank of Canada governor in Mark Carney and an excellent social safety net that acted as an economic damper when unemployment rose and the economy crashed in 2008, and it's hard not to imagine that almost any finance minister under those circumstances would have ended up with a pretty good record.
Alex Roberts, Halifax
During my five years as Canada's high commissioner to the United Kingdom, which included the 2008-09 financial crisis, many leaders from our country visited London.
None commanded the same respect as did Jim Flaherty, our finance minister.
When the banking and business world needed honest advice and a role model to look up to, Mr. Flaherty was there to offer encouragement and plain speaking. He was a modest man with great integrity and insight.
When he spoke, the City of London, the G7, the G20 and the wider international community listened, carefully. During those crisis years, Canada's reputation on the global stage was never higher.
On a personal front, as the father of a disabled young man, I am especially proud that our country, because of Mr. Flaherty's leadership and determination, has put in place the Registered Disability Savings Plan to help the most vulnerable.
Jim Flaherty was a great public servant. He fought hard for Canada and for the disabled and disadvantaged in our society.
We were lucky to have him.

Life Flight helicopter brings night capabilities to Kona Community Hospital
West Hawaii patients needing urgent medical care at hospitals on Oahu and Maui are flying there in a faster, safer and more versatile helicopter.
The Eurocopter EC135 unveiled and blessed at Kona Community Hospital on Tuesday can cruise at 160 miles per hour and is capable of night flying. The helicopter can carry heavier loads and is equipped with night vision and navigational aids that were lacking in a previous machine used by Life Flight Hawaii.
The twin engine machine shaves precious time off a transfer when every moment counts.
The chopper replaces a single-engine A-Star craft. For night transfers, patients used to have to be transported to the airport, taken off-island on a Life Flight airplane, then carried by ambulance again to the destination, a process that could take four hours.
"Now we can do it in a little over an hour or a little under, depending on whether we're going to Oahu or Maui," said hospital CEO Jay Kreuzer.
With plans in the works for a new helipad on the rooftop of the hospital, transfer times stand to get even shorter. The latest state appropriation contained $3.5 million for the new facility, and the hospital is moving ahead with procuring an architect for the project.
Patients will be whisked to the rooftop via elevator instead of having to be loaded in a vehicle and transported to the helipad just mauka of the hospital, Kruezer explained.
"Time is of the essence," he said at the blessing attended by Life Flight personnel and KHC employees and board members.
The new chopper has been doing a transfer a day since April. The machine is the latest in an evolution of air ambulance vehicles that Life Flight Hawaii has used to serve the island. The contract air ambulance service also operates a King Air C90B airplane stationed at Kona International Airport.
Visibility at hospital helipads is tricky at night, said Dave Steel, rotor operations manager for Life Flight. But night vision goggles and new terrain avoidance and traffic collision avoidance systems known as TAWS and TCAS give pilots the ability to quickly and safely perform night operations.
"This is the nicest chopper we've had by far," Steel said. "This is the one we wanted in the first place."
The chopper is stationed at Kona International Airport and capable of covering the distance to KHC in eight minutes. Hilo Medical Center has an identical aircraft.
On Monday, the pilot, a flight nurse and flight paramedic transported a West Hawaii 4-year-old who had fallen out of a window. Last Thursday, a trauma case lifted off from the hospital at 2:30 a.m.
The helicopter is a miniature emergency room, said Lori Cannon, Rotor Wing Kona Base flight nurse. The craft is equipped with a 12-lead EKG, CO2 detection, intubation, and IVAC pumps and other emergency medical technology.
"We're lucky to have this," said the hospital's chief financial officer, Dean Herzog. "One hour is a lot better than four hours, and one transfer a day is a lot."

View the initialisation field - how?
I remember there is a way to visulize the initilised flow field, by specified a zero-step (or one-step?) iteration then use prostar post-processing panel to view the field.
But today whenever I set iteration number to 0, or 1, or a small number, I seem not able to load the data during post-processing (always get "**WARNING - NO ITEMS SELECTED FOR PLOTTING" error.)
I am guessing I need to turn on some options to dump velocity, temperature, etc to .pst file. However, the User Guide lists many options, but just not saying what option will dump data to which file (From my experience, turning on some option will dump data into .info file, some into .erd file, some into .run file, some into .pst file -- What for which is just not clear).
I also set Solution Output Frequency to 1 but still no help (I suppose whatever the value is, the velocity and temperature field data should be stored in .pst file after the final iteration anyway, but this is not the case!)
Anyone please light me up? Thanks!
Re: View the initialisation field - how?
Forgot to mention that I am using STAR-CD v3.15a.
Re: View the initialisation field - how?
Hi Jiaying,
For a steady state calculation, specify the number of iterations to 0 in order to see the initial field solution. STAR automatically saves solution data for all variables that are being solved for - that is why there is no option in PROSTAR for unselecting solution data for steady state runs. When you run STAR, a .pst file will be created as normal.
Your warning message is not related to the solution file - it means that you have to hit Cell Plot instead of Replot in order to display something. When you write the geometry file in PROSTAR, it clears that part of the memory that stores the cell set. Therefore whenever you post process, your first plot must always be a Cell Plot (CPLOT) followed by either replots or cell plots thereafter. Try the following in order to see your initial field solution:
Re: View the initialisation field - how?
At the moment I am working on my own code to solve out the problem of partially cyclic B.C. implement (See my another post). Once I am back to STAR, I'll try this. Thanks a lot, Zhani.

BOSTON -- The name is Brad Marchand.
Not Chad. Not Marshmont. It's Brad Marchand.
You'll need to get it right for the record books.
His Game 6 goal in Boston's 5-2 win over Vancouver was his ninth of the postseason and set a Bruins record for most goals by a rookie in a single playoff season. Marchand shot past Mike Krushelnyski (1983) and Bobby Joyce (1988) to earn the honor.
"It's nice," he said. "Obviously, it's a nice little stat to keep in the back of my mind, but that's not what I was going for coming into the playoffs. I just want to help the team win in any way I can. It's nice to contribute."
Not bad for a guy who gets teased.
Like when Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty took a jab via Twitter during the Eastern Conference quarterfinals: "This game is longer than Marchand's nose." (Marchand had a goal and four assists during the series.)
Not bad for a guy who admitted there was a "question mark" surrounding his standing on the team this season.
Remember that more-beer-than-brains radio show caller? "I don't like that Marshmont! Where the hell did he come from anyway?" (He won the Seventh Player Award with 21 goals and 20 assists in 73 games.)
He comes from Hammond Plains, Nova Scotia and is making his way toward a Stanley Cup.
"He's been a big part of our team taking that step to get to this point," said teammate Milan Lucic. "He's scored a lot of big goals."
So far, there's none bigger than the one he scored in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Boston skated out Monday night with a noose around its neck. Vancouver had a 3-2 series lead; there would be no more second chances. The media hounded both teams with one particular detail of the series: First team to score wins. Every time.
Lucic had conceded the point before Game 5.
"So far, that first goal's been huge and it seems like it's been a big one. For us, back home we've been kind of able to gain momentum off it, and so have they. I think our record speaks for itself when we score the first goal . . . So it's going to be key."
It was. The Canucks looked tough off the opening faceoff. The Cup was in the building, or nearby at least, and they could smell blood. They were skating hard, poised to strike the killing blow.
But Boston struck first. Mark Recchi got the puck on a strong forecheck and shuttled it ahead to Marchand at the blueline. Marchand flew in on the right wing and drilled the back of the net, top shelf, over Roberto Luongo's glove.
It was like taking a nailgun to Luongo's tires. Once Marchand got that first, all-important goal, the pressure turned to inspiration. It took just 35 seconds for Lucic to add another Bruins tally at 6:06. Two-and-a-half minutes later, Andrew Ference made it 3-0.
The Vancouver machine broke down; Luongo was pulled and Cory Schneider came in. Though Boston didn't need more goals, it got two.
Marchand's teammates singled him out as the firestarter.
"It was a huge goal he scored and he emotionally kept on driving for us," veteran Mark Recchi said. "He's such a good kid and it's nice to see him get rewarded but also play an intelligent game tonight. He still played with the edge, but it was on the right side of it."
The Canucks may disagree.
Marchand got slapped with a 10-minute misconduct during the final 30 seconds of regulation for landing left-handed jabs to Daniel Sedin's mug. Most 22-year-olds might be less brazen tossing mittens with Hart Trophy finalists, but Marchand is an equal opportunity antagonist. He's pestered Daniel and his brother Henrik at every opportunity with bumps off the bench, slashes on faceoffs and an ever-moving mouth.
He'll be the first one to say "I shouldn't be doing that stuff" and then do it again the next night.
Recchi, sage as he may be, doesn't try to rein the rookie in.
"He's a young kid that plays on the edge and sometimes the emotions get the best of him," said Recchi. "But when you're young, that's not a bad thing. I would rather have a kid like that than a kid that plays with no emotion. It's a big part of his game and he's learning.
"He's learning to corral it when he needs to and when we need a lift, he's learned to go out and do it. That's the sign of a smart, young player who wants to get better and better."
A record-setting rookie season is a good place to start. But Brad Marchand has only just begun to make a name for himself.

Nothing wrong with giving assistance funds to those victims of Typhoon Pablo. What is quite unfortunate is the way this administration did it--they got the funds from the Christmas bonuses of people working in Malacanan.
As one of the guys who was affected by this says " We also have families here in Manila who are desirous for extra monies".
Why get the funds from the "small people" in government, when you can get it from the humongous salaries, perks and benefits of the "big people", meaning officials?
Malacanan should explain its actions. Again, nothing wrong with getting monies to fund relief work in Mindanao but why get it from those whose salaries are no more than 20,000 pesos? Why not get it from the members of the Cabinet whose wallets have fattened shortly after assuming power in Malacanan.

Nokia and Sony Ericsson have reported another quarter of consecutive losses, although both issued a more positive outlook for the remainder of the year.The companies released their results for the third quarter ended 30 September last week, with Nokia reporting a steep loss of £391m, compared with a profit of £1.3bn one year earlier.Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson revealed better than expected losses of £150m, compared with a £258m loss in Q2 2009, as the effects of its £802m per year cost-cutting plan started to show.However, while Nokia said the handset market was going to decline by 7% in 2009, rather than its original forecast of 10%, Sony Ericsson repeated its prediction that the global market would decrease by 10% this year – although it admitted the decline was slowing.Sony Ericsson's average selling price rose to £104 from £99 one year earlier, but the number of units shipped fell to 14.1 million from 25.7 million.Nokia shipped 108.5 million devices during the period, down 8% year on year but up 5% on the previous quarter. The average selling price per unit was £57, down from £66 the previous year.Strategy Analytics' head of wireless practice, Neil Mawston, said: 'Nokia's revenues and shipments were in line with expectations, but its smartphones were below and its market share is collapsing.'He added: 'Sony Ericsson is not going up as fast as expected. Greater competition from RIM, Apple and others, and a lack of a portfolio refresh in Q3 hit the manufacturer. It has a lack of smartphones, touch phones and QWERTY phones.'Nokia and Sony Ericsson tend to do well in the holiday season, as consumers buy low-cost candybar handsets as presents. Mawston said increased marketing budgets in Q4 should show 'slight improvement'. He added: 'The product is key – they are both struggling in high-end phones.'

sb92075 - thanks for the response - really I agree - but I would be interested in your perspective on this. If the truth were known - we were not aware of the nested tables until we did some digging on why export/import did not work, and why we could not see them in EM12c - and we found the commonality was nested tables.

Arthur Zack and the Beginning of a Great Symphony
In September of 1941, Arthur Zack, a cello teacher from Chicago, moved to Gary to organize an orchestra. A meeting was held in the office of Mayor Ernest Schaible, where Zack met Mildred Wirt, director of auditoriums for the Gary Schools and M.C. Snyder, school superintendent of music. Wirt and Snyder, along with many others, believed that the idea of a local orchestra wouldn't last very long. After a meeting between Mrs. Wirt and civic leaders, however, it was decided that the project would be supported.
To encourage musicians to attend the first rehearsal, Zack placed an ad in the Gary Post Tribune. Twenty-six musicians appeared at the first rehearsal, but the next rehearsal resulted in sixty individuals attending. Many of these early rehearsals were performed in the YMCA building. Although many musicians were gained through advertisements, Frances Monfort was appointed as recruiter of musicians.
The first concert was performed on Dec. 7, 1941 at 8:30 p.m. at Seaman Hall. Jennie Gaudio (Wilkinson) was made mistress of the orchestra and Frances Monfort was principal cello, secretary to the first board of directors, and on some projects, acted as orchestra manager. Anne Mac Isaac was asked to be soloist. The program included the Corelli Christmas Concerto Grosso, a symphony by Haydn, an overture by Boieldieu, two woodland sketches by Mac Dowell, Strauss' Emperor Waltzes and Three Dances from Smetana's The Bartered Bride. Miss Mac Isaac performed an aria by Glueck and three songs accompanied by pianist Helen Leefelt. A few of the musicians were paid and came from Chicago, but most were volunteers.
Unfortunately, word of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was soon received and this influenced Zack to begin the concert with the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner." According to cellist Violet Hayes Wray, "It was the most emotional rendition of the national anthem in which I had ever taken part". Fortunately, this concert became very successful and proved that Gary and its surrounding communities could support a civic orchestra. To finish the 1941-42 season, three more concerts were performed.
Meanwhile, the roots of the orchestra's organizations were being formed. Sydney Lighthill, a local real estate and insurance broker along with Mrs. William A. Wirt contacted seventy-five of Gary's outstanding civic leaders to become directors of the orchestra. At the first board meeting, Rabbi Garry J. August was elected the first president. In the next season, E.N. Ripley, insurance broker, took over the Presidency and with Mr. Paul Howard, Librarian of the Gary Public Libraries, organized a campaign and sold their first season subscription tickets. By 1943, $2000 had been raised to support the 1943-44 season.
The greatness of this organization was due to the loyalty and dedication of the members of the orchestra. The management of which included: Dr. H. Bratton, President; W.P. Cottingham, Mrs. R.T. Griffith, Mrs. W.A. Wirt, R.F. Gordon, Vice Presidents; W.S. Goedcke, Treasurer; Frances Monfort, Mrs. D.R. Wray, Secretaries; M. Dreyfus, W.W. Mathews, A.P. Greene, E.N. Ripley, P.H. West, Mrs. H.B. Snyder, Mrs. W. Wilkinson, Mrs. C.R. Black, Elizabeth Scheddell, Norma Largura, Elmo V. Roessler and others.
The Symphony Finds a Home
In 1943, Arthur Zack, resigned as conductor and went to devote himself to the Rockford, Illinois Orchestra. However in his four years as conductor and founder, he made a great contribution to Gary. His energetic enthusiasm and leadership helped to forge the Gary Civic Symphony Orchestra.
During its existence, the Gary Civic Symphony Orchestra / Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra performed at various locations. From 1941 to 1953, the main home of the orchestra was Seaman Hall of City Methodist Church in Gary. During these years other concerts were performed at Froebel High School, Horace Mann High School and Memorial Auditorium all in Gary. In 1954, the orchestra moved its home base to Memorial Auditorium and remained here until 1960, but then moved back to Seaman Hall for one season. At this time at least one concert was performed at the Gary Center of Indiana University Northwest. Concerts were moved in 1961 to Indiana University Northwest on a regular basis, but some were performed at Seaman Hall and at Gavit High School in Hammond. Concerts were held at Indiana University Northwest Memorial Auditorium and Gary West Side High School from 1966-1971.
In 1972-73, the Gary Symphony became the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra. Because of the name change, the organization no longer contributed to just Gary but also to all of Northwest Indiana. The organization abandoned the idea of a home hall and began to hold concerts at high schools of the area. These schools included Hammond Morton High School, Munster High School, Merrillville High School, West Side, Wirt High School, Highland High School, Crown Point High School and Valparaiso High School.
The first performance at the Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville was a cabaret pops concert in September 1981. In November of the following year, the first concert was performed at the Star Plaza Theater. In 1983, the orchestra established the Star Plaza Theater as its home concert hall. Concerts have also been performed at the Crown Point Community Building, Southlake Mall, the Resurrection Chapel of Valparaiso University, and the Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster. Outdoor performances have been held at Munster Park, John Woods Mill Park in Hobart, Marquette Park in Gary, Main Square Park in Highland, Redar Park in Schererville, Central Park in Griffith, Whiting Park in Whiting, the Newton County Fairgrounds, Our Lady of Mercy Hospital in Dyer, St. Anthony Medical Center in Crown Point, and Southlake Mall. Performances outside Northwest Indiana include Orchestra Hall in Chicago, South Bend, and Indianapolis for the Indianapolis Ballet Theater.
Bringing the Best
Since the birth of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra, many well-known musicians, entertainers, and other artists from around the world have performed with the Orchestra. For example, during the "Big Band Era", the legendary Benny Goodman played in a concert with the Orchestra. Respected conductors, including Boston Pops' Arthur Fiedler have also contributed their talents. Over the years, guest artists have included international superstars such as Van Cliburn, Dizzy Gillespie, Itzhak Perlman, Rudolph Nureyev, Marvin Hamlisch, Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band, The Smothers Brothers, Andre Watts, Peter Nero, William Marshall, Emmanuel Ax, Pete Fountain, Hal Linden, Roger Williams, Rachel Barton, and many others!
Some of the best professional musicians in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area are members of the Orchestra. Many also play with other orchestras in the area including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera Chicago, the Chicago Sinfonietta, the South Bend Symphony, the Elgin Symphony, the Lake Forest Symphony, the Southwest Michigan Symphony, and the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra among others. Many are on the faculty of prestigious music programs at Northwestern University, Valparaiso University, VanderCook College of Music, and Saint Xavier University.
During the 1990-91 season, the orchestra celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. This was done by performing a concert commemorating the first concert of the Gary Civic Symphony at Seaman Hall. It was performed on April 20, 1991. The Opus 50 Rhapsody in Gold Gala was the social highlight of the celebration. During this time, the orchestra also received letters congratulating the group on the anniversary and for becoming a major cultural force in the community from President and Mrs. Bush and Governor Evan Bayh.
The Conductors
The Gary Symphony Society was organized in early 1941 and the first concert was planned for December 7, 1941 under the direction of Arthur Zack. Zack was also founder of the Cincinnati Civic Orchestra and New Orleans Civic Symphony Orchestra. A graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of New York, Zack continued post-graduate work in Europe. Prior to founding the Gary Symphony, Zack was a member of the New York Symphony Orchestra under Walter Damrosch and the National Symphony under Artur Bodanzky.
Rudolph Reiners was born in Chicago, the son of a long line of distinguished musicians. At an early age, he showed a marked aptitude for the violin. Following musical development from his father, Reiners took advanced training in the United States and Europe. His musical credits included being a member of the first violin section of the Chicago Symphony from 1926 to 1948 and a member of the second violin section from 1948 to 1956. Reiners performed under the batons of Dr. Desire DeFauw, who later became conductor of the Gary Symphony, Artur Rodzinski and Fritz Reiner. Reiners also conducted the Chicago String Ensemble.
Irwin Fischer came to the Gary Symphony Orchestra from the Chicago Symphony, where he was organist from 1944 to 1966. Besides his musical abilities and conducting, Fischer was also a composer. One of his works, "Adventures of a Tune," was premiered by the CSO at the first concert of the 1974-75 Petites Promenades Series for Young People. Fischer was also a member of the literati private club, The Cliff Dwellers, as well as a teacher at a music conservatory in Chicago.
During the 1950s, the Gary Symphony was extremely fortunate to have as its music director, Désiré Defauw, the former Music Director and Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Born in 1885 in the ancient city of Ghent, Belgium, he studied violin and graduated from the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. Defauw's American debut was made conducting Toscanini's NBC Orchestra in 1939. Defauw was also Music Director and Conductor of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Belgian National Orchestra.
Leo Krakow served as Music Director of the Orchestra from 1960 to 1968 and again for the 1971 concert season. A Fellowship student at the Juilliard School of Music, Krakow's studies concentrated in violin, conducting, chamber music and theory. In addition to his position with the Orchestra, Krakow served on the faculty at Indiana University Northwest. He also performed with the National Symphony under Hans Kindler for six years as principal violin. Krakow was later Music Director of the Skokie Valley Symphony and General Music Director of the Shubert Theatre.
Tibor Kozma was the next man to fill the position as Music Director and Conductor of the Symphony. The Hungarian-born Kozma was a student conductor at the Saxon Opera in Dresden, Germany. He conducted operas in Czechoslovakia and Broadway musicals in New York. He served on the Metropolitan Opera conducting staff before joining the music faculty at Indiana University. Kozma was well known as a teacher and conductor. The Northwest Indiana Symphony was the first community orchestra that he ever conducted. Kozma was killed in an auto accident in early 1976 following a return trip to Bloomington after a Symphony rehearsal.
Robert Vodnoy served as Music Director from 1976 to 1996, the longest period of any director, conducting performances with artists such as Itzhak Perlman, Andre Watts and Marilyn Horne. Vodnoy was also the youngest Music Director and Conductor the Symphony had worked under at the time of his hiring. A native of South Bend, he was a graduate of Hartt College of Music of the University of Hartford. Vodnoy has guest conducted numerous orchestras throughout the United States, as well as internationally. He is currently Director of Orchestral Activities/Associate Professor of Strings at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and is the newly appointed conductor of the Huron Symphony Orchestra
Since 2000, the Symphony has been under the artistic direction of Maestro Kirk Muspratt. In July 2004, Mr. Muspratt was named both Music Director of New Philharmonic and Artistic Director/Music Director of DuPage Opera Theatre. From 1991 to 1996, Muspratt served as Resident Conductor to Lorin Maazel at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He was appointed Associate Conductor to Joseph Silverstein at the Utah Symphony Orchestra from 1990-1992. From 1987 to1990, Muspratt served as Assistant Conductor to Leonard Slatkin at the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Summer debuts have included the Tanglewood, Chautauqua, and Sewanee Music Festivals. Over the time with the Symphony, Muspratt has instituted several educational programs, including a popular solo competition for children. In order to involve the community, Mr. Muspratt has created "Just Ask Kirk™" cards for audience members' questions and a "Kirkature™" cartoon to help advocate the credo: "Symphonic music is for everyone."
In 2006, Mr. Muspratt was named a "Chicagoan of the Year" by music critic John von Rhein and the writing staff of the Chicago Tribune, and was initiated as a National Arts Associate with the Lake County Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity.
A New Era
South Shore Arts and the Northwest Indiana Symphony Society entered into a business management agreement between the two organizations on July 1, 2008, making South Shore Arts the exclusive management and operations agent for the Symphony.
Under the terms of the agreement, South Shore Arts was granted operational control of the Symphony, including planning, budgeting, fundraising, marketing, governance, education, administration, contract negotiations and accounting. The five-member Symphony board was charged with monitoring the management agreement.
"Our idea was to create an environment where the arts and culture can thrive under a consolidated structure, combining resources and synergies, both for the visual and performing arts, keeping them distinct but managed with one vision for the benefit of residents along the South Shore" said Symphony board president Chris Morrow.
"We have collaborated for many years with the Symphony on educational outreach programs for children," said South Shore Arts Executive Director John Cain. "We are also one of the Symphony's funders in our capacity as a Regional Arts Partner of the Indiana Arts Commission. We have a good working history together, so our board was very excited by the prospect of combining the talents of both organizations, believing that it would be pleasing to both donors and participants."
Looking Forward
In 2010, the Symphony began performing its classical concerts, often to sell-out houses, at Bethel Church in Crown Point, Indiana. Today, the orchestra consists of approximately sixty-five musicians. The orchestra has provided a great cultural contribution to Northwest Indiana and it continues to grow. This season, the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 75th year, presenting the finest musical programs to Northwest Indiana and surrounding communities. 2016 has also been the 10th anniversary of the Symphony's South Shore Summer Musical Festival of free outdoor concerts in five Northwest Indiana communities. The Northwest Indiana Youth Symphony has also celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016.
The 2016-17 concert season marks the Symphony's 75th anniversary as a major cultural institution in Northwest Indiana and the greater South Shore region.

David Kopel, Wall Street Journal
Has the rate of random mass shootings in the United States increased? Over the past 30 years, the answer is definitely yes. It is also true that the total U.S. homicide rate has fallen by over half since 1980, and the gun homicide rate has fallen along with it. Today, Americans are safer from violent crime, including gun homicide, than they have been at any time since the mid-1960s.Mass shootings, defined as four or more fatalities, fluctuate from year to year, but over the past 30 years there has been no long-term increase or decrease. But "random" mass shootings, such as the…
