Last week I pored over the magnificent new (Winter, just in time for Spring) issue of the Claremont Review of Books. The CRB is the flagship publication of the Claremont Institute and my favorite magazine. I want to persuade you to subscribe to it, which you can do here for the ridiculously low, heavily subsidized (don't feel guilty!) price of $19.95 a year and get immediate online access thrown in to boot.
As has become the custom, our friends at the CRB have let me pick three pieces from the new issue to preview on Power Line. This time around, I sought to select three pieces that would gave a representtative sample of the wealth of riches on offer. Limited to three, I have of necessity passed over many truly outstanding pieces. Please check out the table of contents at the link above.
We lead off our preview with the estimable Bill Voegeli's lead review/essay "The Same Old Deal." Voegeli reviews Time-man Michael Grunwald's The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era. Grunwald's publisher holds the book out as "a riveting account based on new documents and interviews with over 400 sources on both sides of the aisle…reveal[ing] the vivid story behind President Obama's $800 billion stimulus bill, one of the most important and least understood pieces of legislation in the history of the country." According to Grunwald, the stimulus bill has been unfairly maligned by the like of, well, us.
Grunwald glorifies the Obama administration's stimulus package as an "overwhelming success," and argues that the president has thereby proven that big government — big, big government, is perhaps now more apt — can be both effective and efficient. So have no fear, conservatives, the government is here (and there and there and there) and here to help. Lest you worry that Grunwald's judgment may derive from a certain partiality for big, big government, Grunwald assures us of his discomfort with too much government meddling in the economy.
Voegeli will have none of it. Voegeli merrily skewers Grunwald for purporting "to know more than he can about the future" and decidedly "less than he should about the past." Voegeli's review performs an utter demolition, with plenty of textual support. Grunwald's pretensions to the contrary notwithstanding, Voegeli adjudges the book a "450-page press release from the Democratic National Committee."

Applicants seeking a second bachelor's degree should submit the graduate application for admission unless specifically requested to do otherwise. Applicants who completed undergraduate degree requirements and graduated the preceding term are also required to complete and submit an application and the $55 nonrefundable application fee.

To be assured of initial consideration by more than one campus, it is necessary to submit separate applications (including fees) to each. Applications submitted by way of www.calstate.edu/apply are expected unless submission of an electronic application is impossible.

Those who do not possess a bachelor's degree from a postsecondary institution where English is the principal language of instruction must receive a minimum score, some programs require a higher score, on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (Paper-Based Test: 550, Internet-Based Test: 80), unless the applicant:

I just had to drop by to share a "first" with everyone. I know it may not seem like much, but today I received my very first genealogy-related recognition of any kind. Check this out:
My regular readers my recall that I've been involved in an indexing project that is being sponsored by the North Carolina Genealogy Society, in partnership with FamilySearch.org. We are working to index estate records that have been microfilmed at the North Carolina State Archives. The project still needs volunteers, so if you're reading this and you can help, please click here to learn more about this iniative. The work is quick and easy, once you get the hang of it, and, as you can see, your efforts will be valued and appreciated if you join in! :)

A groundbreaking ceremony and the appointment of the inaugural director both herald the beginning of the new Kruizenga Art Museum at Hope College.
The groundbreaking for the museum, which will provide exhibition space and house the college's Permanent Art Collection, will be held on Friday, May 24, at 2 p.m. at the museum's future home on Columbia Avenue south of 11th Street. The public is invited, and admission is free.
Newly named as the museum's first director is Charles Mason, who is executive director of the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, Calif. Mason, who will be coming to Hope having spent more than 17 years in the museum field, will assume his new role starting Monday, July 1, focusing on program development in advance of the museum's opening.
The Kruizenga Art Museum, scheduled for completion in 2015, will be built immediately northwest of the De Pree Art Center, for a total project cost of $5 million including construction and a maintenance endowment goal. The museum, designed by Hope College graduate Matt VanderBorgh, is being developed with an emphasis on engaging faculty and students from many academic disciplines in the study and interpretation of art, and envisioned as an educational resource not only for the college but for West Michigan.
The museum will provide exhibition space for the college's extensive Permanent Collection as well as visiting exhibitions, with additional support for curation of the collection. It will complement the De Pree Art Center, which will continue to host exhibitions in addition to housing the offices and faculty and student studios of the department of art.
The Kruizenga Art Museum is among the initiatives of the college's "A Greater Hope" comprehensive campaign, announced in October 2011. It is being named in honor of a leadership gift from Dr. Richard and the late Margaret Kruizenga of Dallas, Texas, and Holland.
The Kruizengas' support reflects both their long-time love for art, developed across their lives as they lived in locations across the U.S. as well as in Australia, Malaysia and Japan, and their decades of involvement with Hope. Each graduated from the college in 1952, and Richard was a member of the college's Board of Trustees from 1984 to 1996. Richard studied economics and business at Hope and went on to a career with Exxon, from which he is now retired. Margaret majored in sociology, later teaching at the college level. Margaret died on Sunday, April 28.
The museum's architect, Matt VanderBorgh of The Hague, The Netherlands, is a 1984 Hope graduate who is director of C Concept Design, which has developed projects in 19 countries on four continents. Leadership guidance for advance programmatic planning has been provided by Donald Battjes, a 1968 Hope graduate from Los Angeles, Calif., who is retired from a career in corporate facilities and real estate administration, most recently as chief of operations and facility planning with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Mason's career experiences include serving with independent art museums as well as art museums affiliated with academic institutions. He is a specialist in Asian art whose publications include the book "Dragons, Tigers and Bamboo: Japanese Porcelain and Its Impact in Europe" (as co-author), as well as numerous scholarly articles and exhibition catalogs. In college and university settings, he has taught courses in museum studies as well as Chinese art history, and has also engaged faculty and students in curating exhibitions.
He has been with the Pacific Asia Museum since 2011. His previous professional experience includes serving as chief curator of the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto, Canada, from 2007 to 2011; chief curator and curator of Asian art at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art of the University of Florida in Gainesville from 2003 to 2007; and curator of Asian art at the Allen Memorial Art Museum of Oberlin College in Ohio. While conducting his graduate work, he was also a curatorial intern at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, Calif., and a research intern with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.
Mason completed his bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature at Cambridge University in England in 1991, and his master's in Asian studies and art history at the University of California, Berkeley in 1993. He subsequently pursued two years of doctoral work before taking his first full-time curatorial position at Oberlin in 1996.
Participants in the May 24 groundbreaking ceremony will include the Rev. Dr. William Boersma, vice-chairperson of the college's Board of Trustees; Dr. James Bultman, president of Hope College; Kurt Dykstra, mayor of Holland; William Mayer, professor of art; and Matthew VanderBorgh.
Work across the summer months will focus on the museum site, including the removal of two cottages that had served as student housing and an adjacent parking lot, and transformation of the former 11th Street into a pedestrian walkway between Columbia and Lincoln avenues.

Phony lawyer routine doesn't fool judge
A 21-year-old Oakland, Calif., man, with a Douglas County criminal history, remained at large Friday after he tried to impersonate a lawyer at Tahoe Justice Court.
Jaden Rae Pool eluded arrest Monday when he failed to convince Judge Richard Glasson that he was a lawyer, and left the court during a hearing on criminal charges.
According to reports, Glasson called Pool's case shortly after 3 p.m. Pool tried to convince the judge he was the lawyer, not the suspect.
According to a video of the proceeding, Pool told the judge he was legal counsel.
"Who are you, sir?" Glasson asked.
"I'm his representative. You can call me counsel," Pool responded.
Glasson asked Pool if he was a lawyer and a member of the Nevada bar.
"I'm of legal grounds," Pool said, but admitted he didn't belong to the bar.
Glasson told him to sit down, and again called for the defendant. Glasson issued a warrant for Pool's arrest, but by this time he had left the building.
Glasson opened a second case for Pool that contained his mug shot and told the court bailiff "to go get that guy."
Pool fled on foot when the bailiff attempted to arrest him, and a chase ensued that eventually involved seven Douglas County officers and several South Lake Tahoe Police officers.
Pool was last seen by officers heading toward the Lakeside Inn and Casino. A resident in a nearby neighborhood called in a report of a man matching Pool's description standing in front of her house on Aynes Court. She said he went over a fence west across from her address.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest on a charge of eluding a police officer.
Pool was in justice on charges stemming from his arrest
March 7 on Tramway Drive, south of the Fox & Hound Lake Tahoe Bar and Grill in Stateline. He was facing allegations of possession of controlled substance for sale, battery on a peace officer, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, obstructing/resisting and failure to obey a traffic control device.
When Pool was 17, he was sentenced to three years in Nevada State Prison after pleading guilty to felony eluding a police officer.
Pool was arrested in September 2010 following a juvenile party in the Pine Nuts. An officer investigating the party said he believed Pool was going to run him over with his vehicle.
The officer was uninjured.
Pool pleaded guilty to felony eluding.
He was certified as an adult by Judge Michael Gibbons and tried in District Court.

Good cleaning products are essential—especially when you're beauty obsessed. But recently I realized just how amazing this one particular, naturally-derived formula is at removing stains: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Radish Countertop Spray, $4, mrsmeyers.com
On a daily basis, tons of products from lip gloss to tinted sunscreen to loads of nail polish roll in and land on my desk for me to try out, so that I can bring you the best of the best. But sometimes things get messy around my workspace.
For example, yesterday I was playing around with this new powder bronzer that I received and it accidentally spilled all over the gray carpet here at Cosmo. It was a mess—I'm talking a mound of dark brown dust that I thought would basically leave its mark for good.
I grabbed the closest cleaning product I could find, a packet of towelettes, to try to wipe it up. Bad idea. I literally wet all of the powder and created some sort of paste that didn't look like it was ever coming out. Then, I looked around where I sit only to find the Mrs. Meyer's Radish Countertop Spray sitting on my co-worker's desk. I was desperate at this point because the stain was getting worse, so I decided to go full force with this spray even though it's for your kitchen. Whatever.
So, I started dousing the gigantic brown spot, and I sh*t you not, it started to disappear right before my eyes. I'm not even kidding—with about eight sprays and no rubbing or blotting with a paper towel, the stain was GONE. I couldn't even believe it. I'm not even embellishing a little bit, and if you don't believe me, you can ask two of my co-workers who watched the whole thing go down. I felt like I was on the Home Shopping Network doing a before and after. It was insane.
The point of my story? While we all love playing with makeup, we aren't the neatest bunch when we're trying out new shades. So, if you spill on your carpet or get some sort of bright eyeshadow that looks like it's now a part of your favorite shirt for life, pick up this kitchen savior. I swear you won't be disappointed. Bonus: It cleans your countertops, too.
Will you be scooping up this spray ASAP?

So You Can Now Get Face Masks For Your Boobs
Guys, there is such a thing as a face mask for your boobs and you can buy one for just $5.99!
Believe it or not, a Japanese brand has released a gel mask aptly named, "Oh! My Busty?!' which is a heart-shaped mask that fits over your assets with convenient holes for your nips.
In a bizarre twist, the masks are one size fits all, which we just can't quite comprehend since as we all know, each pair of knockers are unique (and one's always bigger than the other!).
So what exactly do these masks do? Well, LA-based beauty brand Beautibi claim their boob masks, "keep breasts firm and elastic in overall breast skin texture." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? Over in Korea the 'Volume Up Breast Pack' Masks claim to actually make your boobs bigger. Apparently the mask, 'grasps the essence that evaporates to air by body temperature and surrounding temperature, and helps to be absorbed deeply into the skin." We no compute.
Sure, our boobs deserve all the TLC in the world, but we'd prefer to treat them to a Victoria's Secret Bombshell Bra than a weird gel mask, right?

i've just finished making modifications to the T2J section here so it will load quicker than before. it's somewhat expotential depending on how many pages you have to read. ie, if you go to read ALL messages, it will be a *lot* faster now.
i also made it so hopping around a large number of pages is a bit nicer instead of it just spewing out 200 page links, you only see 20 at a time and can skip forward/backward another 20 by using the >> and <<
oh yeah, you can also do some more extensive use of the link tag. that was added the other day and you can see example on the bottom of the page when posting a new message.
Hello everyone! A lot has happened in the months since our last newsletter
so we've got a lot of news for you. Included is a brief table of contents
for this newsletter and then a message from Joe to all of you!
In this issue:
It's hard to believe the new CD is finished, wrapped up and
ready to go, it all went by so quickly...We had nothing but
fun and good times in the studio, and it really comes through
on the recordings... The photos in the CD booklet will give
you a hint of how silly we are when working on "serious"
music!... But, seriously now, the band came through with
brilliant performances, and the crew worked out all the details
to get it all on tape, or, the hard drives, as the case
was...Check out the new SATRIANI.COM for details on everyone
connected with the latest CD...
Cheers to webmaster Jon Luini for the new and very cool website!
He will be adding features weekly to keep us all glued to our
computers... Speaking of computers, I just noticed last night
that my DVD-RAM drive has its left and right audio orientation
reversed! Strange, huh? Apple is sending me a new one...
I'll be bringing a digital camera on tour this time and I
promise to send crazy on the road photos to Jon for posting on
the site, honest!
Speaking of tours...We have our Euro set list together, but
there is still time to influence our North American set starting
in August....Oh, and yes, we will be playing "Crushing
Joe's brand new album is titled "Strange Beautiful Music" (SBM) and is

Microsoft's Windows Media web sites will also be promoting a stream of

with Sony/Epic for an exclusive full-song stream of "Mind Storm", one
of the heaviest songs on the album. It'll be available on SATRIANI.COM
starting June 24th!
For those of you who want to hear a little more than excerpts
before rushing out and picking up a copy of the album, have no
fear! We've partnered with our good friends over at Apple's
QuickTime group to do a listening party of the album in it's
entirety which will loop for 48 hours. It will start at 10:00AM PST
on June 25th and end at 10:00AM PST on June 27th.
In addition to hearing the entire album, you also will get to hear
exclusive introductions to each song by Joe himself, giving a little
bit of background into each track.
Starting the 25th, look for a prominent link on SATRIANI.COM as well
as different areas of www.apple.com/quicktime/!
J&R Music is also providing an exclusive *download* of Oriental Melody
from their web site. Again, we'll provide a link on SATRIANI.COM once
we have the date it's available and a direct URL!
We ask all of you fans to help out by calling your local radio station
and requesting "Starry Night" on your station. If they are more receptive
to a heavier song, try asking for Mind Storm instead.
As you have probably come to expect with Joe, with a new album comes
new contests and Strange Beautiful Music is no exception! Here's a
quick rundown on the contests we've already got lined up, or going on:

Full disclosure: In addition to working with Joe's online activities,
I'm also one of the FezGuys and just couldn't resist the chance to
profile Joe's web site in my book and he was kind enough to allow me
to do so. Mea culpa.
Thanks for your continued support of all things Joe!

We are very sorry to have to announce that the upcoming G3 concerts in
Mexico City and Monterrey are to be postponed once again.
Due to the uncertainties caused by the terrorist attacks on New York City
and Washington, DC, and the recent threat made to Americans
worldwide, we
feel that it would be unsafe to travel during this time of declared war on
America and its citizens.
While we are very unhappy to have to disappoint our fans in Mexico, we
cannot request that our fellow musicians and crew place themselves in

Wouldn't you like to know exactly what others have recently paid for the new car you are thinking of buying?
You no longer have to wonder with the new TrueCar pricing service. TrueCar is a spin-off from Zag.com and opened for business in April. Zag.com and TrueCar are founded by Scott Painter, a serial entrepreneur who was also part of CarsDirect and PriceLock.com. The parent company, Zag.com, provides a white label platform for auto retailing to companies like USAA, American Express, CapitalOne and Overstock.com, and their mission is to make the automotive retailing experience better for both the consumer and dealer.
Ok, TrueCar is not actually crowdsourcing new car pricing in the literal sense. But they are collecting and analyzing data on individual new car sales from over 30% of all transactions taking place in the US. In a sense, TrueCar is bringing social media openness and transparency to the process of purchasing a new car by leveraging the power of crowds to transform pricing practices that formerly favored the auto dealers. The TrueCar pricing service provides consumers with the power of real information to transform the new car buying experience and minimize the stress involved with buying a new car while shortening the purchase cycle for automobile dealers. Essentially, the no-haggle, upfront pricing is a win-win proposition for consumers and dealers.
TrueCar has a very intuitive and easy-to-use interface. You start out by selecting a make of auto and inputting your zip code. Then, you select the specific model, style and options. TrueCar then provides you with a very good-looking and graphical set of reports showing a curve of what others paid, a bar chart, details of specific prices paid, price history over the last 6 months, vehicle pricing table and cost breakdown.
Being involved with business intelligence and reporting for much of my career, I am very impressed with how TrueCar is serving up their price reports. Until you have a chance to check it out for yourself, here is an example of the Details report which shows the actual number of purchases in my local area over the last 4 weeks.
So, how reliable is the information from TrueCar? Here is what they say about the pricing on their website:
The TrueCar Price Reports are backed by data and rigorous statistical analysis. Today, we collect extensive sales data on more than 30% of all new vehicles sold. All data shown on the site is less than 4 weeks old. TrueCar does not manipulate the raw data, nor do we interpret it. TrueCar has no hidden agenda, is not beholden to anyone, and nothing is holding us back from reporting the facts. It is TrueCar's goal to equally serve consumers and dealers.
And how does TrueCar's price analysis differ from other pricing services like Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds? The primary difference is that the other services use opinions of what the price should be instead of actual prices paid recently.
Finally, as CEO Scott Painter said in an article in Wired in April:
We're transforming the market. Those dealers not willing to give an upfront price are going to go out of business.
TrueCar is offered both online, and by phone at 1-888-TRUECAR, all free of charge.

Serious Paranoia With My Fiesta Metal
2012-Metal posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi everyone ive had my 2012 Fiesta Metal From Brand New since end of May/June This Year, I am quite the paranoid type in general anyway. Regarding my Fiesta its getting rather serious, ive bought it on ford options (my first ford as changed from a VAG) i use the car mainly for work as i drive from my home in essex - NE London to Borehamwood, Herts where i work which takes me just short of a 40 mile round trip. I never turn the car on and just drive have, i always let the revs drop especially as i work nights and finish 6am. Have used normal BP unleaded from new and have currently got 2,800 miles on the clock with no thrashing at all. It took me from 0-800 miles before i even took it past 70mph and around 1500-2000miles past 100mph never wheel spinned or even seen the traction light on keep the gear changes around 2-2.5k rpm and occasionally when merging onto a roads and motorways take it up to 3-3.5k revs in 4th gear to get up to speed etc. the noise from the engine is horrid on idle and i have owned a 2009 corsa 1.4sxi which was pretty bad due their natural characteristics with noisy tappets. But my fiesta is a joke and not to mention, theres some sort of knocking type sound after i have been drive and just left on idle for example today in the morning when getting home from work. then it sort of just stops after a while when left running. Could Someone please shed some light on me and clear my paranoia as im starting to not like the car considering i dont abuse it at all. thanks and kind regards Bhavin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Sen. Barack Obama won the U.S. presidential election in a historic blowout victory Tuesday.
Obama, D-Ill., won by a 6-point margin in the popular vote, 52 percent to 46 percent, over Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. He eclipsed President George W. Bush's 2004 record to win more votes than any other individual in American history. Some 62,438,115 people cast their ballots for him.
As we had predicted in UPI Analysis, Obama's margin of victory was far wider than almost all pundits had expected. McCain trailed him by more than 7 million votes. He got only 55,380,169 -- around 6 million less than Bush did in his 2004 re-election win. Obama therefore won a commanding victory margin three and a half times larger than Bush's in 2004.
The Democrats won at least five Senate seats, boosting their total from 49 seats to 54 seats, and they were in contention as of Wednesday morning to win four more. Given the two independent senators who caucus with the Democratic majority in the Senate, that would give them the magic 60 seats out of 100 they would need to cut off any Republican filibuster attempts to block legislation.
In the House of Representatives, the Dems more than doubled their already comfortable 36-seat advantage in the old 110th Congress. It will now be up to 78 seats. The Democrats control 251 seats, with the Republicans, dominant from 1994 to 2006, down to 173 seats.
McCain proved better at losing than campaigning. His concession speech, in contrast to the tone of his later campaign, was gracious. But two issues doomed his hopes: the parlous state of the U.S. economy as it staggers on the brink of recession following the Wall Street meltdown, and the massive burden of following widely discredited President George W. Bush.
Obama ran a wise, shrewd and balanced campaign. It helped, of course, that he was awash with funds -- more so than any previous Democratic candidate in history. And his much derided background as a community organizer in Chicago at the start of his career, coupled with his years in the Illinois State Legislature, proved the essential foundation for his success.
Obama put together arguably the best organized and most efficient national organization the Democratic Party has known since the heyday of President Franklin Roosevelt and his own "Karl Rove," Postmaster General James Farley, in the presidential elections of 1932 and 1936 and the congressional election of 1934.
Obama has now beaten in straight contests two figures who were for decades prominent leaders in their own parties. He beat out Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., the first former first lady in history to win a Senate seat, with her $250 million war chest and her super-secure base in New York state. Then he went on to beat McCain, who has served in the Senate for 22 years and was the greatest war hero to take a prominent role in national U.S. politics since John Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower.
Obama sensibly poured enormous resources into Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan. He succeeded in picking off New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Virginia, Iowa and Wisconsin: His broad front but carefully focused campaign, derided by many armchair critics as being too ambitious and diffuse, paid big dividends. It convinced key voter segments in the big Northeast and Midwest industrial swing states and bellwether Florida.
As we had predicted in UPI Analysis, this was no cliffhanger election like 2000, 1976, 1968 or 1960. Obama did not win a record landslide, but he won the most decisive Democratic victory in 44 years since Lyndon Johnson's 1964 landslide over Sen. Barry Goldwater, another Arizona Republican. Goldwater was the prophet of the long era of Republican-conservative domination of U.S. national politics that truly began with Richard Nixon's narrow victory over Hubert Humphrey in 1968. McCain's defeat may prove its death knell.
It was the first time since 1964 that the Democrats won more than 50 percent of the total vote. Virginia, the Old Dominion, went Democrat for the first time since 1964.
Obama was vastly helped in both his primary and presidential campaigns by the many mistakes of his opponents. Clinton picked inept state campaign managers and organization administrators. She ignored caucuses and minor primaries across the United States. She ran one of the most woefully mismanaged campaigns in modern U.S. political history.
McCain sorely lacked the drive, innovation and focus of Karl Rove, who masterminded Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns. He looked good on national security, experience and leadership issues until the great Wall Street meltdown, but then he was never convincingly able to articulate any credible responses to it.
McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate had mixed results. The Palin pick should be credited with a major role in repelling Obama's anticipated challenge in some Heartland states. But it cost McCain badly among college-educated middle-class swing voters. With the benefit of hindsight, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would have been a vastly superior pick to reassure the conservative base and also speak credibly on the economic meltdown. But McCain did not like him.
By contrast, Obama's instinct for continuity and moderation in his own vice presidential choice has already served him well. For all his many well-reported gaffes, veteran Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., fulfilled his function of bringing massive foreign policy experience and reassuring familiarity and niceness to the Democratic ticket.
Like his hero, President John F. Kennedy, Obama was cool, intellectual and reflective in his political strategizing. If he can maintain those qualities and that outlook in the coming months, he will be off to a good start.
Congratulations, Mr. President-Elect!

Revived Jets rout sputtering Flamesby Aaron Vickers
CALGARY -- The Winnipeg Jets are still in the honeymoon phase with new coach Paul Maurice, but it's been a great marriage thus far.
The Jets improved to 2-0-0 under Maurice with a convincing 5-2 victory against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday.
Maurice replaced Claude Noel on Sunday, and the Jets beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-1 at MTS Centre on Monday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
"You're asking them to do hard things and things that at times put them in harm's way and practice harder and do those things," Maurice said. "These guys want to win. They're no different than anybody else. They're willing to do what you ask them to do and having a little bit of success just reinforces some of their hard work."
While Maurice has been perfect in his return to the NHL, the Flames have been far from it, dropping a franchise-record seven straight on home ice while being outscored 22-4. Overall, the Flames have lost 13 of their past 16.
"My only point of view is we're waiting for something bad to happen before we start playing," Flames captain Mark Giordano said. "There's no excuse. We have to have that mentality that we have nothing to lose. We've said it before. We can talk all we want, but we've got to go out there and do it."
The Flames didn't, and it didn't take long for the Jets to build on their win in Maurice's debut.
Michael Frolik burst down his off wing and let go a weak backhand from below the faceoff dot that Reto Berra kicked right back onto the stick of Bryan Little in the slot. Little buried it 5:01 into the game to give Winnipeg a 1-0 lead.
It was the first two shots on goal recorded by the Jets. Their fifth also found its way past Berra.
Just 3:10 after Little's goal, former Flames center Olli Jokinen spotted Dustin Byfuglien alone in the high slot, and he beat Berra to the blocker side for a 2-0 lead.
"It's pretty tough to generate energy when you give the first two goals," coach Bob Hartley said. "There was two gifts -- we covered this afternoon in our team meeting - they were bad coverage right in front of our net.
"In the NHL, [when] you let guys get great shots right from 10-15 feet from the net, you're looking for trouble. Obviously with the way that we played here in the past games our confidence is very fragile. You put yourself down 2-0 after a few minutes, we made it tough on ourselves."
Calgary tried to climb back into the game during a first-period power play but Ondrej Pavelec made near-identical left pad saves off Jiri Hudler and Sean Monahan seconds apart.
After managing eight shots at Pavelec in the first period, the Flames managed to lob three at him in the second while allowing the Jets to take a four-goal lead.
Mark Scheifele outraced Shane O'Brien to a dump-in behind the Flames net and tapped the puck to Chris Thorburn. He found Blake Wheeler, who returned the puck back to Scheifele at the far post with a back-door pass for a tap-in at 9:09 to make it 3-0.
"[Thorburn] and [Wheeler] supported me really well on the forecheck," Scheifele said. "[Wheeler] made a great pass to me and I didn't have to do too much to put it in. I credit him for that goal, for sure."
Jokinen added his 13th of the season with 2:29 remaining in the period, one-timing Andrew Ladd's pass behind Berra for a power-play goal and a 4-0 advantage through 40 minutes.
Giordano ended Pavelec's shutout bid 40 seconds into the third period, snapping a shot just under the joint where the post and crossbar meet.
But rookie defenseman Jacob Trouba responded at 2:57 to restore the Jets' four-goal lead. With the teams skating 4-on-4, Trouba picked up a drop pass from Wheeler at the Flames' blue line, slashed his way to the slot and ripped a shot that beat Berra.
"[Wheeler] kind of just bought some time and I came off the bench and I was cutting to the middle," Trouba said. "I'm not going to say I was aiming there, but whatever, it went in. It was good for us."
Lance Bouma's deflection of Dennis Wideman's point shot went past Pavelec with 8:01 remaining to complete the scoring.
"We didn't have enough," Giordano said. "We didn't generate enough on our forecheck and we were very soft in our own end, especially around our net.
"We have to be sharp to start games. Tonight we got down and sagged."

We've all been there, tempted by morsels left out in the open for who knows how long. But when is a long time too long? When is exposed food no longer good to eat? The chefs at Stack Exchange are here to help.
If I left food out of the refrigerator for some period of time, is it still safe? If I left it out too long, can I salvage it by cooking it more?
When in Doubt, Throw it Out! (Answered by SAJ14SAJ)
You cannot see or smell bacterial contamination. Mold that appears to be growing only on the surface may grow invisible roots into softer foods. Do not rely on a visual inspection or "smell test" to tell you whether or not a food is safe.
The Danger Zone
Potentially hazardous food that stays in the temperature "danger zone", 40-140 °F (4-60 °C), for more than 2 hours should be discarded. (Note: this is the FDA's rule. Other agencies may have variations on it. Additionally, government agencies generally make very conservative recommendations—they're trying to make sure that no one who follows the rules gets sick. Breaking the rules means maybe taking on some risk. That's up to you—just remember, eventually someone gets unlucky, and food poisoning is not fun.)
Potentially hazardous foods are those foods that spoil most easily, such as unshelled eggs, raw meats, fish, shell fish, dairy products, almost all cooked foods. This time is cumulative, so it includes time bringing the food home from the grocery store, time before cooking, time after cooking, and so on. The reason is that while cooking may destroy bacteria or other pathogens, it doesn't always destroy the toxins that they have produced.
So in general, regarding perishable foods like meat, most dairy, unshelled eggs and shell eggs in the US, cooked casseroles, and so on: If the food (or its perishable components) have been at room temperature for more than two hours, you should discard that food. To avoid the danger zone, keep cooked food hot until ready to eat, then refrigerate immediately. Separate large items into smaller containers to help them to cool more quickly. If you're defrosting something, do it in the fridge or under cold running water.
Why does cooking not completely "reset the clock"? Some bacteria leave behind harmful protein toxins that cannot be "killed" (denatured) by cooking. Cooking food is only effective against live organisms, not their toxic waste products. Spoiled food cannot be cooked back to safety and must be discarded.
Cooking is pasteurization, not sterilization. Pasteurization means killing most microbes, so as to render the food safe for human consumption. Sterilization methods (e.g. pressure-canning and irradiation) are the only safe methods for longer-term room-temperature storage. Otherwise, the danger zone rules always apply.
Even sterilized food can only remain sterile under an airtight seal, e.g. when properly canned or vacuum-sealed. Once it is opened, it is no longer sterile. Air contains countless bacteria and molds, and their spores, which will readily re-colonize any suitable environment they encounter. Cooked food tends to be an ideal medium for growth.
Regulation and Risks
Follow the guidelines set out by reputable regulatory agencies, especially when serving others. Local organizations include:
FDA Food Code (USDA)
CFIA (Canada)
Food Standards Agency (UK)
Other regulatory sources apply in other parts of the word, but major food safety organizations usually agree in essence (if not in complete detail) on most issues. Failure to follow reputable guidelines is irresponsible if you are serving guests, and failure to follow your specific local codes is likely to be illegal if you are serving customers. Health codes tend to be very conservative, to fully protect the community. You have the right to take risks on yourself by ignoring their recommendations, but please do not risk the safety of others.
Once again, if you suspect spoilage or contamination, please, throw it out.

SAN RAMON, CA — Some big pockets are about to take possession of 24 Hour Fitness, which not only speaks well for future investment in the fitness industry, but could also mean new partnerships for the health-club chain.
24 Hour Fitness announced last month that Forstmann, Little & Co. had bought the company for $1.6 billion. The deal is expected to be finalized this month pending regulatory approvals.
Last September, Forstmann, Little & Co. bought talent and marketing agency IMG Worldwide, which has clients such as Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, Serena and Venus Williams and Peyton Manning. IMG also runs sports academies, broadcasts sporting events and operates tournaments in the tennis and golf arena.
The deal could lead to benefits such as discounts for 24 Hour members at IMG training academies or celebrity endorsements for 24 Hour Fitness from IMG talent. Not that 24 Hour Fitness is hurting in that area. Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal already have lent their names to some co-branded 24 Hour Fitness facilities.
However, in a conference call after the sale was announced, Mark Mastrov, founder, chairman and CEO of 24 Hour Fitness, and Ted Forstmann with Forstmann, Little, wouldn't speculate on future partnerships.
What Mastrov would say is that the company plans to open more clubs each year, but won't be doing so through franchising. He said the company might consider buying other clubs on the market. In addition, instead of concentrating on building 40,000- to 70,000-square-foot facilities as the company has done in the past, he plans to build more 10,000- to 15,000-square-foot express facilities.
All of that building and buying will take deep pockets, which Forstmann, Little & Co. seems to have. Forstmann, Little & Co. will finance the 24 Hour Fitness transaction with more than $900 million from its equity and subordinated debt funds with the balance coming through a senior loan facility. This conservative capital structure will provide 24 Hour Fitness the capital to fund internal growth and expansion in domestic and Asian markets, according to the chain.
"What a great story for the industry," said Rick Caro, president of consulting company Management Vision. "It's a sign that another pure club company with a leader who started it back 20 plus years ago can now be appreciated by savvy financial people and be bought for $1.6 billion. This is an example that one does not have to go public to have an exciting exit strategy for the old company and a plan to grow for the new owners."
The sale of 24 Hour Fitness coupled with the financial success of Lifetime Fitness since its IPO last year make it more likely that club companies such as Town Sports International, LA Fitness and Equinox could be bought by larger private equity companies or go public, said Caro.

Kery - I'm confused! Why are you having Pregnyl every 4 days? Mine was just the trigger shot. What does it do if you keep taking it?
I'd be really p****ed off too if I were you, I can't believe she told people. I've been very careful about who I've told at work, one of the junior managers knows 'cos she's a friend but I haven't told the other managers I just say I've got a doctor's appt or hosp appt. Fortunately there's been different managers in different days so no-one realises how many times I've been out.
I've done ok at work this week. It was really busy and short staffed today but I just let it wash over me and didn't get stressed. Feel quite proud of myself - just hope I can keep it up!
Been quite crampy today and def felt ovulation this morning.
mkdig - Sorry, can't help with the polyps. I hope it turns out to be nothing
maineknitter, stephjim and tina - Hi! How are you doing?
Wishing everyone a big
and a lovely weekend

I'm going to be in town for Sat and Sun and I would love to find some kind of tennis workout. I know that many tennis clubs have these; you know a pro stands there and hits balls and idiots like me around the court in a series of drills. Anyone know of anything?

I found one online that looks good. Has anyone done this X-treme Tennis with Coach Mike? It is at the Tucson Racquet and Fitness Club? http://tucsonracquetclub.com/tennis-lessons-tucson-arizona/adult-cl...
Looks good because it is for 4.0 and up players.
Call Jay at 520 2474747 for clinic info.
What club is he with?
He runs city court leagues and classes.

It so good, i don't have any problem with this.
Paid sub-folders? Really?
All in one bookmark Manager
subfolders only for money, so for me it's useless
I love it
I can only give it 3 stars because ever since the big redo of the extension, it doesn't work half the time. The extension will open a window that is blank, or does nothing at all, depending on which browser i'm trying it on. So far, it mostly works from the panel icon. Toolbar icon, nothing.
I am not having any problems at all and I am letting people know Opera is better than firefox waterfox and Chrome I quit you for some reason years ago I was having problems with photobucket I have 3 computers and a tablet you will be on all of them besides you are so much faster
I love this extension and in other browsers it works just fine but in my Opera developer edition under Ubuntu it simply doesn't work normal :(
I will try this out and if it's performance's is as well as it sounds I will be very happy
I love this app & have purchased the premium subscription; so, so worth it!

The Pacific Oceanscape is home to the world's largest remaining healthy stocks of tuna. In fact, the region's proportion of the global tuna catch is valued at more than US$ 2.4 billion. The area is also home to other species — including coral reef fish, seaweeds and shellfish — that are vital sources of food for islanders.
Oceans store the majority of the carbon on Earth, which gives them a critical role in regulating the global climate. In fact, the Pacific Oceanscape is home to mangroves, seagrasses and salt marsh habitats that are among the most efficient carbon sinks on the planet.
In the Pacific Oceanscape, a vast majority of the population lives within 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the coast — and their livelihoods depend on the sea. The tuna industry alone provides more than 13,000 jobs to Pacific Islanders and contributes US$ 260 million to the region's economy.
Serenity. Beauty. Delight. The area covered by the Pacific Oceanscape can bring us these gifts. It boasts recreational activities ranging from fishing and diving to whale watching, boating and more. The region is also home to iconic marine life, such as whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks and seabirds that have cultural and economic value around the world.
The Pacific Oceanscape has brought together 23 countries and territories to protect, manage and sustain the Pacific Ocean's cultural and natural integrity. Comprised of what many consider to be tiny island nations with modest terrestrial areas, these nations have responsibility for 10% of the world's total ocean surface — an area four times the size of the United States. These are economically important waters, harboring the world's largest remaining stocks of tuna and providing nearly half of the world's tuna catch.
CI works hand in hand with communities and governments across the Pacific Oceanscape to conserve the critical habitats in the region, including islands, coasts and the open ocean. And we recognize that everyone, from village leaders to heads of state, governments to corporations, residents and those far away, all have a stake in protecting this critical area.

NEWS- Going for Gold's: Club opens fully equipped
The new Gold's Gym, which opened on March 28 in the space next to K-Mart, is more than twice the size of the former club in Seminole Square and has 100 pieces of shining cardio equipment, extensive free weights, a sauna, and three group exercise rooms. But to Susan DeJarnette, the most important piece of equipment in the club is one she hopes Gold's members will never have to use: an Automated External Defibrillator.
On January 22, DeJarnette and her husband, Henry, were exercising at the Gold's Gym in Culpeper. Although she had asked the club to purchase a defibrillator, she says she'd been repeatedly rebuffed. She finally purchased one for herself for $950. Unfortunately, the day Henry went into cardiac arrest while on a treadmill, her defibrillator was in the car, and it took her several minutes to retrieve it to administer shocks to her husband. He died that day.
In the Hook's February 2 cover story, "Heartbreak: Could a simple device have saved a life?" Gold's consultant Eddie Dail said the club had always planned to purchase a defibrillator in time for the new facility's opening.
That's just what has happened, says Gold's general manager Deana St. John, displaying the Philips Heartstart defibrillator that recently arrived at the Charlottesville and Culpeper clubs. Twenty-five of the 40 Gold's staff members received training on the device on March 24, and St. John says they're ready to deal with any health problems that might occur.
According to information from the American Heart Association, heart attack victims have a survival rate of as high as 90 percent– but only if they receive defibrillation within one minute of the attack. After that, survival rates drop dramatically.
DeJarnette says she's relieved that Gold's has purchased the potentially life-saving equipment, but it's too late for her family.
"I'm sad that Henry had to die for them to do it," says DeJarnette. "I'm glad they bought one, but it's tempered with, 'Why did something like this have to happen for them to buy one?"
The new Gold's gym opened March 28 next to K-Mart.

I know I cant spell but if you read this you'll hopefully appreiciate the sheer beauty of my experience yesterday.
I live in the UK where things are not considered to be the most beautiful for kiting. But consider this.
You arrive to your local spot one morning and the sun s out, you have a massive yellow sand flat beach in front of you and visability is 40 + km. The water is slight and the wind is blowing a nice 12 knts on shore.
Kite gets unpacked after the usual hello's and excitement. Readyto hit the water to practise the low wind tricks, toe side transitions are abundant and to be honest, they were my first.
I'm happy, in tune with the kite and the wind, and I look to the distance while cruising along one handed and see a sight meant for africa, not exactly liverpool.
I see a Swarm , of seabirds communing at the waters edge, and something I did, disturbed them.
The next minute, I was riding alongside no less than 300 or so launching seabirds which were flying a foot off the surface of the water. cruising along in parallel, I felt happy. Happier than I've felt in a long time.
For me, thats what its all about.
Ride Safe.
The rocket.

Who is the best playmaker in world football?
In the second part of our 'FIFA 14's best players' feature, we take a look at the central midfielders who make things happen for their attacking teammates.
These aren't just players who are classed as attacking midfielders (CAM) on the game, but those who can create chances either behind the striker of in a deep-lying midfield role.
Unsurprisingly, some of the biggest names in world football make the list – plus a couple that you might not have expected to make the cut.
That of course means that some players you might have thought would make the grade don't quite get the nod from the makers at EA Sports, who have the unenviable job of applying the specific stats to players every year.
And so, without further ado, we provide the top 11 playmakers on the game this year. Let us know who you think should have been higher up, and who shouldn't have made the cut at all.
Enjoy the slideshow...

Activists: Syrian rebels blow up tunnel under army post
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian opposition fighters on Friday detonated a cache of explosives in a tunnel under an army post in the northwestern province of Idlib, inflicting heavy casualties among government troops, activists said.
The government denied the casualties and said the targeted post was empty.
Idlib-based activist Ibrahim Ismail said the blast was followed by intense clashes as the rebels launched an attack to retake the Arbaeen Mountain area early on Friday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the fighting was some of the most intense in months, adding that dozens of Syrian troops have been killed and wounded.
Syrian state television later quoted an unnamed military official as saying that the army repelled the attacks, adding that the tunnel explosion occurred near a military post that troops had already evacuated. The official said rebels tried to infiltrate the Syrian town of Ariha but failed and suffered losses in "lives and equipment."
The military official said "terrorist groups" launched their attack starting 4 a.m. on several army posts, but were all repelled.
The Observatory said the main rebel factions taking part in the attack include Suqour al-Sham as well as the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front.
The attacks in Idlib came a month after Nusra Front and other rebel groups captured two major army bases in the province. Rebels now control most of Idlib province, although the government still controls heavily populated areas, including Ariha and the provincial capital, Idlib.
"The main aim of this attack is to liberate Ariha," Ismail said via Skype. The town is a major supply line for the city of Idlib.
In the nearby province of Aleppo, Nusra Front fighters clashed with members of the Hazm Movement, another rebel group that has in the past received U.S. support, according to the Observatory. The groups have clashed in the past, mostly recently in November in Idlib province.

#WeekDaySupper Linguine with Clam Sauce
August 26, 2013
I am a big fan of Meatless Monday. One day a week we eat vegetarian. It's a great way to eat a little healthier and it makes you get creative in the kitchen. I definitely have a lot more vegetarian entrees in my dinner rotation now than I did before I started doing this!
My Long Islander husband loves seafood, so sometimes I'll feature fish or shellfish on Mondays. He has turned me onto clams over the years, so now I've started making them at home. This Linguine with Clam Sauce recipe is to die for. I bought fresh pasta from the farmer's market (the best!) and served it with a French baguette. We, literally, sopped up every last drop of sauce in our bowls!
- Two dozen littleneck clams
- 6 Tbs. evoo
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 5 Tbs. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt
- 8 oz. fresh linguine
- Freshly ground black pepper
Scrub the clams under cold water and set aside. In a heavy 3-qt. saucepan, heat 3 Tbs. of the oil over medium heat. Add the pepper flakes and cook briefly to infuse the oil, about 20 seconds. Immediately add the wine, 2 Tbs. of the chopped parsley, and half of the garlic. Cook for 20 seconds and add the clams.
Cover and cook over medium-high heat, checking every 2 minutes and removing each clam as it opens. It will take 5 to 6 minutes total for all the clams to open. Transfer the clams to a cutting board and reserve the broth. Remove the clams from the shells and cut them in half, or quarters if they're large. Return the clams to the broth. Discard the shells. (If the shells are large, I like to save them to use for Baked Clams.)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until it's almost al dente, about two minutes (for fresh pasta). Follow directions on the box if you are using dried.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining parsley and the rest of the garlic and cook until the garlic is just soft, about 1 minute. Set the skillet aside.
When the pasta is done, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta. Add the pasta, the clams, and the broth the clams were cooked in to the skillet. Return to low heat, toss the pasta in the sauce, and simmer for another minute to finish cooking it, adding a little of the pasta water if you prefer a "saucier" dish.
Taste for salt and add pepper. Serve immediately, with French bread and garnish with the parsley.

"Wonders In A Garden," a public art installation created by five former student artists from Mark Twain Elementary, was unveiled Wednesday in the school's garden.
Teaching artist and designer Julie Williams, from the Arts Council for Long Beach's Eye on Design program, mentored the students.
Eye on Design is a public art education program encouraging civic involvement, critical thinking and creative problem-solving through a customized residency program. Students are guided through the same logistic and creative process a public artist follows to develop a public art concept.
When the 15-week Eye on Design program ends, students give back to their community by creating a permanent public art piece.
"Wonders in the Garden" was funded by collaboration among the Miller Foundation, National Endowment of the Arts, Mark Twain PTA, Long Beach Unified School District, Arts Council for Long Beach and Lowe's.
