For those of you just tuning in to the second week of the National Football League playoffs, we would like to confirm that, yes, Saturday was strange.
Was that Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of his generation, doing his best Jeff Hostetler impersonation? Hand the ball off, hand the ball off, hand the ball off, make high-percentage throw, hand the ball off, touchdown. During his team's 43-22 demolition of the Indianapolis Colts, Brady bore a striking resemblance to the guy who hands you your Big Mac at the drive thru window.
Or how about Seattle Seahawk Russell Wilson, one of the brightest young quarterbacks in the game? In the second half of his team's 23-15 victory over the New Orleans Saints, he completed two passes. Instead, the Saints were merely fed into the ravening maw of Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who devoured Saints defenders like a King Size bag of Skittles.
Even the losing Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, the only human ever to throw for 5,000 yards in a single NFL season more than once (and he's done it four times) handed the ball off more than he passed it through the first three quarters, which, last time we checked, was one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
Saturday was odd times in the NFL. The only team that committed to passing the ball were the Colts, the team whose coach once said that his winning recipe was: "run the ball, stop the run." Saturday, they did neither, and they were demolished.
Watching a game in which Tom Brady, plays, wins, and yet could have played much of the game while holding a box of popcorn is enough to shake a football fan to the core. This is a passing league, right? Quarterbacks win championships, right?
Well, not Saturday. And that raises the question: Why, on the biggest day of their seasons so far, did the three competitive teams Saturday essentially take the ball out of their exceptional quarterbacks' hands for most of the games?
Weather, of course, played a big role. Both games were played in gales that only the Weather Channel loves. Then again, it's winter. Unless you're in Pasadena, rain and wind is not exactly a shocking forecast. Is playoff football different? Is Colts coach Chuck Pagano right? Are championships won on days like Saturday, when the team that ran the ball and stopped the run best won?
It is a storyline that old-schoolers would certainly love, and on Saturday, it proved to be the case. In truth, however, Saturday underscored a different and more enduring reality for the modern NFL: mediocrity is the mother of invention.
Let's be honest, the two teams playing each other in Foxborough, Mass., Saturday were shells of themselves. Almost half the Colts starting lineup on offense was out with season-ending injuries, including their No. 1 wide receiver (Reggie Wayne), tight end (Dwayne Allen), and running back (Vick Ballard), as well as a starting linebacker and cornerback on defense. The Patriots were missing tight end Rob Gronkowski, their most vital cog on offense (besides Brady), as well as virtually all their best defensive players.
And don't be fooled, neither team was a juggernaut to begin with. Even when healthy they had flaws. In the salary-capped NFL, winning is a matter of managing flaws. No one has enough money to build the perfect team. So add catastrophic injuries (which, this year at least, appeared to be the norm league-wide), and you have two teams essentially playing left-handed.
For the Patriots, that looked a lot like LeGarrette Blount, the slab of running back who changed the game when he turned "three yards and a cloud of dust" into 73 yards and game, set, match in the fourth quarter. For the Colts, it looked a lot like interception after interception. They had no Plan B, so on go the Patriots and home goes Pagano to dream of a day when his team will be able to run or stop the run.
The injury situation wasn't quite so dire in Seattle, but Brees certainly looked like he was throwing left-handed into the teeth of a Pacific gale. With a better defense and a better running game, the Seahawks simply had more ways to win on a blustery day that grounded the passing attack, so they did.
Today's NFL is not about the run. Nor is it about defense. Or the pass, for that matter. It is about finding some way to win when your Plan A goes out the window (and perhaps your Plan B and C) as it is almost certain to do during a playoff run – either through injury, weather , or even (gasp!) the play of the other team.
On Saturday, that looked a lot like football circa 1960, lacking only leather helmets and broken teeth. Next week, it could be 400 yards passing and a cloud of touchdowns. In today's NFL, who knows?
But one thing seems sure. You better come with your B game.

American Pool
American Pool Cues are made in a range of butt designs and dimensions. A selected Hard Rock Maple shaft with a pool taper and a hand spliced Ebony butt with exotic wood inlays. We keep a selection of these cues on display in our London showroom for visiting customers to try and purchase. American Pool cues ordered online will be finished to your specification from cues already in production; this allows us to supply the customer with exactly what they require, rather than trying to find a cue close to their specification. Cues can be customised to suit the individual requirements.
What are the delivery times for cues, cases and clothing?
We do have cues in our shop for customers visiting us to try out and buy on the day. With mail order cues I do prefer to make these to order, so that I can insure you get exactly what you want rather than trying to find something in stock that is close to your requirements.
The delivery times for cues vary depending on model and style. In general 3/4 cues are quicker than 1pc.
Approximate Delivery Times
Parris Collection Cues 30-40 weeks for 16" 3/4 cues and 12-18 months for 1pc, 2pc and 12" joint butt cues
American Pool Cues 30-40 weeks
Limited Edition Cues 12-14 Months
Special Cues 24-32 weeks for 16" 3/4 cues and 16-24 months for 1pc, 2pc and 12" butt joint cues
Paragon Cues 24-32 weeks for 16" 3/4 cues and 16-24 months for 1pc, 2pc and 12" butt joint cues
Ultimate Cues 12-18 months for 16" 3/4 cues and approximately 60 months for 1pc, 2pc and 12" butt joint cues
Leather Cases 32-50 weeks depending on design and workload
Clothing 1-3 weeks
Delivery times do depend on the availability of the correct shaft for your cue. The shaft has to have the correct weight, balance, rigidity, feel and of course the right look. All shafts are individually selected for each cue by John. We have shafts constantly in various stages of production with a new batch being finished every 2-3 weeks. Shafts take from 6 to 12 months to produce depending on the model, it is important they are made slowly to ensure stability.
Although every effort will be made to complete your cue as soon as possible, delivery times quoted are approximate and can with some of the higher end cues take considerably longer. If we are taking longer it is only because we are perfectionists and trying to find the ideal shaft to make your perfect cue. Demand for Ultimate cues has increased considerably over the last few years which has caused an increase in delivery times for these cues.
Parris Cues cannot be held liable for cues taking longer than the approximate times above.

That's why the MasterImage 3-D reference platform seems so appealing. This 3-D display, which comes in a 4.3-inch version (for smartphones) and a 10.1-inch version (for tablets) was incredibly clear and rich, not grainy and ghosted like many of the products I've seen in that form factor.
This is a glasses-free display--720p resolution (1280x720) for the smartphone, and 1080p (1920x1200) for the tablet. While you can't necessarily see the 3-D in the video embedded below, you can get a little feel for the clarity.
[ What's the future of consumer technology? Read Consumer Tech Marches Closer To Star Trek. ]
The reference designs the company was showcasing at CES were powered by TI's IMAP 4 chipset. The technology uses cell-matrix parallax barrier, which the company has patented; the company claims it provides brighter images, lessened crosstalk, reduced moire effects, and a wider viewing angle. A few minutes with the technology had me convinced.
The company isn't announcing any license partners just yet, and frankly consumers aren't in a great hurry for 3-D. But if it's done well, maybe that's another story.

Guest poem sent in by Lakshmi Jagad
(Poem #1763) My Little One
My little one whose tongue is dumb, whose fingers cannot hold to things, who is so mercilessly young, he leaps upon the instant things, I hold him not. Indeed, who could? He runs into the burning wood. Follow, follow if you can! He will come out grown a man and not remember whom he kissed, who caught him by the slender wrist and bound him by a tender yoke which, understanding not, he broke.
I don't think we have any of Tennessee Williams' work on Minstrels, do we? Am not much of a critic (not yet) but I can say that I love this poem for its faintly wistful charm. Not even sure what it is about it that reminds me of lost innocence and the passage of time. Most of the times, we only remember what we lost with time, rarely what we gained. The memory clings to the negative! Lakshmi [Links] Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Williams Mitchell's "Beatrix is Three" makes a nice companion piece to today's poem: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/810.html

Voltex CEO Stanley Green said: "We are delighted with this synergistic acquisition for Bidvest Electrical as Phambili Interface is a dynamic and impressive performer, with historically strong foundations that offer tremendous opportunities for creating continuing growth in the niche sector it which it operates."

Derrick Mulligan the current Managing Director of RAD / Phambili Interface (Pty) Ltd added: "Since the MBO in 2000 the company has had exponential growth and the next logical step to continue this growth in the South African and African market was to seek a suitably strong corporate partner with deep roots and experience in our industry to acquire the business".

Innovation means transforming knowledge into new products and services or into new processes and new working methods. Striving for renewal, or innovation, is one of the most important driving forces in the global economy. Innovation stimulates competition and affects our very existence. It creates jobs, increases growth and mobilises factors that can help a nation to improve the competitive strength of its economy.
At Tetra Pak, innovation is the result of the total process of developing an idea into a product or a new way of working which adds value to the business. Innovation embraces everything from hatching an idea to reaching the marketplace with a new or improved product. Whichever way you define it, it is important. Innovation is one of the mainstays of our survival and growth.
Our Product Development Centres are there to help you turn your concepts into fully-fledged commercial products, tested, evaluated and modified to perfection. Use our centres to fine tune new processing concepts, perform trials and test runs, and evaluate final results – all with the help of our experienced technicians and under conditions of absolute secrecy.
Tetra Pak was honoured with the "IFU 2019 Innovation Award" at the annual Juice Summit in Antwerp, Belgium for its new low-energy JNSD (Juice Nectar Still Drink) line.
While maintaining product safety and quality, this new JNSD line solution can greatly cut down energy-consuming heat treatments – reducing overall energy costs by about 67%. It also reduces water used in cleaning in place (CIP) and sterilization in place (SIP) by about 50%.
Our new heating solutions can be tailored to your unique business needs, from small production to large-scale innovation; from rigid to highly flexible; from milk to liquid food. Our modular approach means you get the exact heating solution you need, and don't pay for features you don't.

Tetra Pak Processing has set up four strategic competence areas to drive innovation: cleaning technology; mixing, blending and dosing: food safety; and heat treatment technologies. Each area has a network of technology specialists who share knowledge within our organisation and with customers.
One example of how our focus on key competencies has spurred innovation comes from our Dairy category, where our expertise in mixing, blending and dosing led to the creation of OneStep™ processing technology. Since its launch in 2010, the technology has transformed UHT milk production, providing an effective single-step process that eliminates the need for pasteurisation pre-treatment and intermediate storage.
Do you, or your company, have an invention that could be revolutionary for the food packaging industry in the future, or simply a technology, method or design that could support the packaging of food products for tomorrow's consumers? Tetra Pak may welcome and have an interest in the further development, if your invention meets the need for Tetra Pak's present or future product portfolio.

Note: This article has done its job, and will be retiring soon. To prevent "Page not found" woes, we're removing links we know about. If you've created links to this page, please remove them, and together we'll keep the web connected.
Office Web Apps extend your Microsoft Office experience to the web browser, where you can work with documents right there on the SharePoint site where the document is stored.
Note: Office for the web was formerly known as Office Web Apps. In SharePoint 2010 on-premises, it's still known by its former name.
Office Web Apps work in some of the most widely used browsers, and are officially supported in Windows Internet Explorer 7 and later, Chrome, Safari 4 and later for the Mac, and Firefox 3.5 and later for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Integrate seamlessly with Office
You use Microsoft Office to create documents that present information, collect thoughts, and help you and your colleagues make decisions. You store these documents on your computer, on a removable storage device, on a server. Office Web Apps provide a new way to store your documents so that they can be viewed and even edited in the browser. By using Office Web Apps, a website becomes a new storage device for your Office documents: a storage device that makes your documents easy to access and easy to share.
In Microsoft Office 2010 programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote), you can start using Office Web Apps by saving your document to your SharePoint library.
Now, your document is available to view and edit in the browser, or re-open in Office.
Note: Documents don't need to be created in Office 2010 to be opened in Office Web Apps. For best compatibility, use Office 2003 or later, or use Office for Mac 2008 version 12.2.9 or Office for Mac 2011. If you're using Office 2003, install the most recent service pack and save documents on your computer in the Office Open XML file format (for example, .docx, .xlsx, or pptx files). Then upload the document to a SharePoint site where Office Web Apps are configured.
Browse documents
With Office Web Apps, your documents are like web pages because they are stored on a website and displayed in the browser. To view the document, you click it. To share it with other people, you send a link.
It doesn't matter whether your version of Office matches what your friends or colleagues have. There's no need to download a viewer. Your documents look the same in the browser as they do in the Office programs.
Edit on the fly
Beyond viewing documents, Office Web Apps enable you to edit a document's content in the browser.
Browser-based editing is optimized for situations when you want to rewrite some text, enter some data, add a slide, or jot down notes. If you're already viewing the document, you click Edit in Browser in Office Web Apps, make your changes, and you're done. In most cases your updates are saved automatically (in Word Web App, click Save).
Co-author in real time in Excel Web App and OneNote Web App
In Excel Web App and OneNote Web App you can work with others on the same document at the same time.
Putting a document together or collecting information is often a group activity. For example, use Excel Web App to collect information in a structured way, or be free-form with OneNote Web App. The file is stored in a central location where everyone who needs to can access it. There's no waiting for one person to finish with the file before the next person can get in. There's no e-mailing multiple copies that later need to be reconciled.
There's no special command for real-time collaboration. You simply edit the file in Office Web Apps while you colleagues are doing so.
Transition to Office, seamlessly
Sometimes you want to make substantive changes that require the feature-rich Office desktop applications. In these situations, you can seamlessly transition to the corresponding Office desktop application directly from Office Web Apps. If you have a document open in Office Web Apps, click the Open command to open the file directly from the browser into the Office program that is installed on your computer. When you are finished, click Save in the Office program, and the file is saved back on the server (in the OneNote desktop application your changes are saved to the server automatically).
Note: Opening documents directly from the browser into an Office desktop application is supported in Firefox, Internet Explorer (Windows), and Safari (Mac) browsers. In Windows, you must also be using Office 2003 or later with Internet Explorer, or Office 2010 with Firefox to use this feature. OneNote Web App requires OneNote 2010 to use this feature. On the Mac, this feature requires Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 version 12.2.9 or Office for Mac 2011, and the OneNote desktop application is not available.

Nelson joins Angels, Jimenez returns to Triple-A
ANAHEIM -- A day after infielder Chris Nelson was claimed off of waivers from the Yankees, he was added to the 25-man roster and found himself in his third Major League clubhouse in a span of 22 days.
To make room for Nelson, the Angels optioned Luis Jimenez to Triple-A Salt Lake.
"Lucho had versatility, but Lucho has to go down and play every day," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's a young player, still has growth. He played terrific for us up here, at some point we'll see him again, but he needs to go down there and play."
While Jimenez made a strong impression on the Angels' manager, Nelson is now hoping to do the same.
"I'm finally here and hopefully I can be here for a while," Nelson said. "I'm just excited to be here and I'm ready to showcase my talent."
Although officially listed as an infielder, Nelson is a versatile player who can play second base, third base, shortstop and the outfield.
Nelson is batting .235 in 31 games this season but hit .301 in 111 games in 2012 for Colorado, where he started this season before a May 1 trade sent him to the Bronx.
With Alberto Callaspo, Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick as staples in the Angels infield, Scioscia has not yet decided how Nelson will be used, but likes the versatility that the 27-year-old brings.
"Chris is a really athletic player that can give us infield coverage," Scioscia said. "From the right side, he's got some pop in his bat. We'll see where we can fit him in and hopefully he can contribute."

Are we seeing a slow down in the western Crown Heights boom?
I hope to get a photo of them being dragged out.
This site continues to be one of the sites I believe will make a large impact on western Crown Heights: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/47007/the-big-18-developments-the-whynot-31-wont-stop-talking-about?new=1
The owners/developer has recently put in an application to make the building larger in exchange for including below market units.
"Two blocks to the north, Cornell owns a smaller site at 931 Carroll Street, which records show he also bought in 2014 for $2.5 million.
Hager is proposing developing a 16-story, 150-foot-tall purely residential building with 128 units, including 35 units at below-market rents.
In both developments, Cornell plans to set aside the "equivalent" of 25 percent of the total square footage for tenants earning 60 percent of the annual median income, with 10 percent of that area designated for those earning 40 percent of AMI."

Prime Minister Trudeau, Please Do Not Discriminate Against Christians
The nada Summer Jobs program provides over $200 million per year to fund some 70,000 students with seasonal employment. Just before Christmas, Prime Minister Trudeau changed the requirements for funding which now demands that applints and employers sign a document to attest that they support women's reproductive rights, and the rights of gender-diverse and transgender nadians. No Bible believing Christian should swear support abortion or multiple genders. This thinly veiled discrimination truly means Christians need not apply.
It is very sad that children will be hurt by Trudeau's ideologil test as their favourite mp worker may be rejected for not swearing to support abortion. It is troublesome to think of the thousands of Christian students will lose their summer jobs – jobs they depend upon to pay for fall tuition – for simply having a different view on multiple genders.
The Prime Minister has no right to force young people to bow to his unconstitutional decrees. "I was tortured for my beliefs as a 17 year old student in Ethiopia. I esped to nada for freedom, only to hear my government say you nnot have a job beuse of your beliefs. Please do not discriminate," says Efrem Leakemariam.
The President of nada Christian College and many Christian leaders across the country representing several million nadians are asking Prime Minister Trudeau to withdraw his attack on Christians and come to the table to discuss how to best support students with freedom and equality. This Christians need not apply approach will not be tolerated under section 15 of the Charter or by the court of public opinion.
Minister Patty Hajdu has suggested this attestation clause will be applied to other nada jobs programs. Who will be the next target? What attestation will they have to sign to keep their jobs?
Discrimination is wrong.
Petition to The Government of nada
Petition to Primer Minister Trudeau
We the undersigned, strongly urge you to withdraw your attempt to force students to attest to supporting abortion and multiple genders in order to be employed under the nada Summer Job program.
It is unprecedented and abhorrent for a democratic government to disqualify a citizen from employment for ideology.

Protect Our Children
Children are society's most precious asset; they are the future of our great nation. Children are also the most vulnerable members of our society. Shockingly, the government is willing to teach radil sexual edution to our children in the name of diversity & inclusion. Our government has also only mandated a minimum 1 year sentence for an individual convicted of raping a child – we believe this is not good enough.
The Children's Emergency Protection Fund
The Children's Emergency Protection Fund (CEPF) is a program of the nada Christian College / Institute for nadian Values, a federally incorporated non-profit organization and a registered nadian charity. CEPF partners with programs to help children in serious need across nada. We believe in trying to help any child in extreme need regardless of race, religion, language or culture. CEPF is dedited to protect children from hunger, poverty, and sexual abuse. CEPF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, and foundations.

It's amazing how the jungle drums beat when the Stanley Cup is involved.
The Stanley Cup was hugged, groped, fondled and kissed until 1:30. "We've got a long day tomorrow, so let's shut it down for tonight," suggested Staal.
Thursday, August 10 saw Eric's father Henry meet the Stanley Cup and bring it over to the house, where Eric's Mom Linda and his brothers Marc, Jordan and Jared, waited. As has been well-documented, all four Staal boys have the exciting potential to be NHL stars. Eric, of course, is one of the offensive leaders on the Hurricanes, after debuting with Carolina in 2003-04 20 days before his 19th birthday. Marc is a defenseman in the Rangers' organization and it is likely he'll make his NHL debut this season upcoming. Jordan just completed his second season of junior, putting up very good point totals and was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in last June's NHL Entry Draft. And Jared, the baby, will suit up with Sudbury in the OHL this season. All four boys are well over 6' tall, and most respectful. It is obvious that Henry and Linda Staal did an excellent job in raising their brood.
A huge public reception was next on the agenda, held at 10AM at the Thunder Bay Marina. Mayor Lynn Peterson headed the list of the official delegation in front of a crowd that included CBC television, ESPN, the Score, NHL Productions, representatives from the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame and 5,000 interested others. For three hours, Eric met fans and posed for photographs, but it was clear that not everyone in attendance was going to get through the line, so revisiting a page from previous Cup celebrations, the line was cut off and Eric carried the Cup up and down the line of those who wouldn't be getting to see the Cup otherwise, making hundreds of fans very pleased.
Early that afternoon, Eric took the Cup to the school he attended, the Thunder Bay Christian Academy. They, too, had a line-up to greet Eric, as 300 fans waited to get autographs and pictures of the 21-year-old hockey star.
Eric insisted that his grandparents get the chance to see the trophy he had helped his NHL team win. At the home of John and Lammie Stahl, Eric rolled in with the Stanley Cup. "There she is, Opa," Eric said, handing the Cup to his grandfather. Just then, his grandmother arrived from inside the house. She asked, "Where's your name, Eric?" "Oh, it won't be added until the end of the summer, Oma," Eric explained.
Eric's maternal grandparents then arrived to see their grandson and the Stanley Cup. "When I was playing minor hockey here in Thunder Bay, I used to get a dollar from my Grandma and Grandpa every time I'd get a goal," smiled Eric. "Yeah, but we soon had to stop that 'cause it was getting too darned expensive," laughed his grandfather.
As they continued on, Eric had another idea. "This is where I first played organized hockey," he stated, pointing to the Nor-West Rec Centre. "I've gotta get a shot here with the Cup."
Finally, Eric arrived at Shebandowan Lake and pulled up to his cottage. After taking a number of photos outside the cottage, Eric pushed open the door but wasn't quite prepared for what he saw. His brothers had camped out at the cottage and the place was a little worse for wear. "Jeepers, you guys," admonished Eric. "What the heck are you doing? I'm trying to keep the place clean!"
After relaxing at his camp for a little while, it was time to get back to the city for a backyard party that was going to be taking place at 7PM. On the drive back, Eric pointed out stunning Kakabeka Falls.
Arriving back at his parents' home, Eric's Dad asked for a favour. "Come on, Eric. Put the Cup on the sod cutter for me. I'd like to get a picture of that." Eric dutifully fulfilled the request. "I spent a lot of hours working on this farm," he nodded. "Not any more though."
By 7, the Staal's backyard had ballooned with 200 guests attending the family party. Every time Eric hoisted the Cup, a roar came from those at the party. None of Eric's brother went near the Cup. Following protocol, they'd wait until they had won the Stanley Cup themselves before lifting the legacy of Lord Stanley.
The party soldiered on through the evening and half way through the night. By 3AM, the Cup was in the kitchen, with a handful of friends reading aloud some of the storied names already engraved on the Cup's base.
It was 5:00AM when an exhausted Eric Staal finally bid the Stanley Cup adieu. "The day went so fast," he admitted. "But it was a cool feeling. In fact, it kinda gave me chills!"
So that the itinerary for Erik Cole's day wouldn't be irreparably damaged, it was agreed that the Stanley Cup would fly on the jet to Oswego and that the private airline would send another plane from Thunder Bay to Oswego with the case later in the day.
The flight finally left the northern Ontario city closer to 8AM, arriving in Syracuse, New York at 10. Erik, who enjoyed
a break-out season with the Hurricanes in 2005-06, scoring 30 goals and 29 assists before breaking a vertebra in his
neck towards the end of the season, met the Stanley Cup and was in a great mood, in spite of the delay in the Cup's
The Stanley Cup was driven to his family home in Oswego, where his wife Emily and children Bella and Landon, waited. The
Coles' daughter and son ate their Applejacks cereal out of the bowl of hockey's historic trophy.
Although late, Erik Cole proceeded with his plans. Given a police escort, Cole arrived for a special public event at Oswego's Fort Ontario. Acting Mayor Randy Bateman declared it 'Erik Cole Day' in Oswego on Friday, August 11. After comments from city officials, the public got the opportunity to greet Erik and get pictures with the Stanley Cup.
On hand were teams from the Oswego Minor Hockey Association, who will wear patches on their jersey commemorating Cole's victorious season with Carolina. Erik then announced that, as promised, he was donating $1,000 to the Oswego Public Library for each point he collected during the 2005-06 season, provided it was matched by local businesses or donors. A cheque for $59,000 was presented, with onlookers responding with tumultuous applause. The money will be used to help offer programs and services provided by the local library.
After the civic reception was completed, Erik and Emily, along with the kids, took the Stanley Cup to their cottage in Norwood, New York, up near the top of the state. A quick stop at Dunkin' Donuts along the way to fuel up and off they went.
As the party was in full swing, Erik took Emily aside and presented her with a ring to add to the joyous nature of the celebration.
The event went all night, but by 5:30, only a handful of party-goers remained. Those there, including Erik and Emily, cuddled up with the Stanley Cup in front of the cottage's fireplace. At 6:30 that morning, it was time for the Stanley Cup to travel to Minnesota. Erik and Emily appropriately said goodbye to the Cup and sent it on its way.
Join us again on Friday when we spend the day with Bret Hedican, wife Kristi Yamaguchi, and the Stanley Cup. You'll read about all the fun here in the Stanley Cup Journal.

Might it happen? Slaughterhouse overruled?
For generations, lawyers, judges and constitutional scholars across the spectrum have debated whether the time would come for the Supreme Court to cast aside one of history's most controversial rulings — the 5-4 decision in 1873 in the Slaughterhouse Cases. In that ruling, the dissenters claimed — and modern critics still complain — that the Court had made the Fourteenth Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause into "a vain and idle enactment."
Despite a brief revival of the Clause as a curb on state power to restrict individual rights, in the 1999 decision in Saenz v. Roe involving "the right to travel," that part of the Fourteenth Amendment's Section 1 has remained close to a constitutional dead letter. (It reads: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.")
In 1873, the Court said the Clause only restricted state laws affecting rights of national citizenship, not those affecting the rights of state citizens. Among others who have argued in recent years that the Court should rethink the Slaughterhouse Cases, Justice Clarence Thomas is the most prominent. He did so in a dissent in Saenz v. Roe, saying that, "in an appropriate case," he would be open to reevaluating the meaning of the Clause.
Sometime this Fall, the Court will examine three cases that already are being pushed as "appropriate" ones for the Court to use for a reexamination of the Clause, and the Slaughterhouse precedent.
This is, in fact, a little-noticed part of the controversy already building around those new cases. The core issue, in all three, is whether the Court will expand the Second Amendment personal right to have a gun for self-defense, so that it restricts state and local government laws, not just those at the federal level (an issue that had a prominent role in the just-concluded nomination hearings for Justice-to-be Sonia Sotomayor. She will have a chance to vote on some of the new cases, it appears.)
Under constitutional theory, there are only three ways that the Court could interpret the Second Amendment as applying to the states. The Constitution's text rules out one of those, the Slaughterhouse Cases rules out a second, and the one remaining — "incorporation" of the Second Amendment into the Fourteenth Amendment so that it reaches states — is not an attractive option to constitutional conservatives. Thus, the impending challenge to the Slaughterhouse precedent.
The one federal appeals court that has ruled, so far, that the Second Amendment protects personal gun rights against state, county and city laws is the Ninth Circuit. It took the only option it said was open to it: the incorporation theory under the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
The text of the Constitution itself makes the Second Amendment apply only to federal laws; that has been the constitutional undersanding since 1833 (Barron v. Baltimore), the Ninth Circuit noted in Nordyke v. King, a ruling it issued in April and is still pondering whether to reconsider en banc.
It follows from the Slaugherhouse Cases, the Ninth Circuit added, "that the Privileges or Immunities Clause did not protect the right to keep and bear arms because it was not a right of citizens of the United States." That, it indicated, remains good law, even after the Supreme Court's decision in Heller v. District of Columbia in 2008 recognized a constitutional right to have a gun under the Second Amendment.
Only the Supreme Court would have the authority (absent a new constitutional amendment) to overturn the Slaughterhouse Cases. Two other Circuit Courts — the Second (in an opinion joined by Judge Sotomayor) and the Seventh — refused to extend the Second Amendment to the states, concluding that they were bound by Supreme Court precedents.
The Second and Seventh Circuit rulings are the ones now being challenged in the Supreme Court in three cases: Maloney v. Rice (08-1592) — the Second Circuit case — and National Rifle Association v. Chicago (08-1497) and McDonald v. Chicago (08-1521) — both from the Seventh Circuit. (Because Judge Sotomayor participated in the Maloney case at the Second Circuit, she probably would not take part in any action by the Justices on that case.)
In the NRA petition, its lawyers argue alternative points for applying the Second Amendment to the states — the "incorporation" method, and applying it through the Privileges or Immunities Clause. The petition does not include extensive argument on the Slaughterhouse Cases, though that precedent is mentioned.
The McDonald petition goes further, suggesting the reconsideration of Slaughterhouse if the Court is unwilling to use the other, incorporation method, to extend the Second Amendment. It argues:
"The almost meaningless construction given this [Privileges or Immunities] provision in Slaughterhouse was wrong the day it was decided and today stands indefensible."
The Maloney petition takes a somewhat cautious approach. It suggests that the Slaughterhouse Cases need not be overruled directly, but should be reinterpreted. It makes an argument likely to appeal to conservative Justices and others: re-reading that old precedent to extend Second Amendment rights, but to do so in a way that keeps the Privileges or Immunities Clause from becoming as "open-ended" as it says other parts of the Fourteenth Amendment have become.
A full exploration of the Clause and the Slaughterhouse precedent has been put before the Court in an amicus brief filed by the advocacy groups, Institute for Justice and the Cato Institute (filed in the Chicago cases; it can be downloaded here).
In a clear pitch to Justice Thomas, the brief quotes his dissent in Saenz, and comments: "Restoring the Privileges or Immunities Clause to its proper place in the constitutional structure would have the advantage of tethering this Court's rights-protecting jurisprudence much more closely to the Constitution's text and history" than other parts of the Fourteenth Amendment have.
One of the reasons that Justice Thomas has suggested a possible reexamination of Slaughterhouse is a concern, apparently shared by other Justices and conservative commentators, to rein in the use of other clauses in the Fourteenth Amendment in the Court's jurisprudence.

- Description
AutoSharp Pens® - Features & Benefits
The AutoSharp Pen has many unique features not otherwise available:
The Pen: Paint is held in a barrel and automatically dispensed through a fine felt tip, providing the user unparalleled control over their painting instrument.
The Paint: High quality urethane paint is used which is the same as your vehicles manufacturer. This paint provides the user with a much closer colour match than other companies which primarily use lacquer (old technology) paints.
The Results: The best you can get without refinishing the damaged areas.
Usage Tips
1. Make sure the touch-up area is clean and free of wax or the paint will not properly adhere.
2. Secure the cap and shake the Autosharp Pen vigorously for about a minute for the best colour match.
3. Burp the pen! Gently press the tip down inside the pen with the tip facing up This wil release any pressure that may have built up.
4. Select a test area other than your car to depress the tip and practice using the pen, ie the door jam of your car.
5. Depress the tip of the pen gently and repeatedly, until the paint flows through to the tip.To completely soak the tip can take up to one minute. Once the tip is totally soaked with paint you are ready to touch up your car. NOTE - for best results do not depress the tip too hard or fast as excess leakage may occur.
6. Fill each chip or scratch once and let dry for about five minutes. Repeat once or twice if needed.
7. Make sure the cap is always on the AutoSharp Pen when it is not in use. Store at room temperature on its side. If the tip becomes dry or brittle, hold the pen upright and remove the tip from the barrel. Keep the pen upright so paint does not flow out! Moisten the tip in a little paint thinner and re-seal.
Advanced Usage Tips for chips, fine scratches and wide scratches
Chips: Make sure that the pen has a good flow of paint. This is accomplished through lightly dabbing the tip against a surface other than your vehicle. After a good paint flow has been achieved, you should then proceed to lightly touch the chip with the tip of the pen to the bottom of the chip. For best results, wait at least 5 minutes between coats. Repeat this process until the chip is fully covered.
Fine Scratches: Make sure that the pen has a good flow of paint. Holding the AutoSharp Pen like you would a pencil or ink pen, hold your hand as steady as you can and very lightly draw a fine line across the scratch from left to right, trying to stay inside the lines. For best results, wait at least 5 minutes between coats. Repeat this process until the scratch is fully covered.
Wide Scratches: Lightly pressing tip across scratched area, almost making small-connected circles, will fill wide scratches.

Dania Ramirez Welcomes Twins Gaia Jissel and John Aether
Daughter Gaia Jissel weighed in at 4 lbs., 12 oz., while son John Aether weighed in at 4 lbs., 9 oz., the Devious Maids star's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively
John Shearer/Invision for A&E Networks/AP
This maid is now a mama!
Dania Ramirez and her husband, director John Beverly Amos Land, welcomed fraternal twins on Tuesday, Dec. 17, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
Daughter Gaia Jissel Ramirez Land weighed in at 4 lbs., 12 oz. and measured 17 inches long, while son John Aether Ramirez Land weighed in at 4 lbs., 9 oz. and measured 18 inches long, the Devious Maids star's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Dania's so in love with them," the rep adds.
After marrying Land last February, Ramirez, 34, announced her pregnancy in July. The actress celebrated her baby shower in September, revealing the sexes during the party. Although she had already chosen their names, Ramirez decided to keep them private until she met the babies.
"We have these really beautiful and powerful names for them," the former Heroes star told PEOPLE at the time. "I want to say them out loud once I see them for the first time, just to make sure that it all feels right."
Now that Ramirez is sure her choices fit, she explains them to PEOPLE.
"Gaia is the Greek goddess of Earth. Aether is the god or personification of the upper air that only the gods can breathe, hence the medical term 'ether,'" she tells PEOPLE, adding that they call their son by his middle name.
"They were actually siblings in Greek mythology. My 12-year-old stepson's name is Kai, which means ocean, and we wanted to connect them all. So now we have water, earth and air."
As for the twins' other names, they each honor family.
"John is after my husband," Ramirez explains. "Jissel (pronounced Giselle) is my middle name and I was called that while I lived in the Dominican Republic. When I moved here, everyone called me by my first name because of roll call at school, so I stuck with Dania."
The second season of Devious Maids will premiere April 20 on Lifetime.

Would You Let Your Daughter Wear This J.C. Penney Shirt?
It's not easy to offend most people with a t-shirt these days. We've seen it all. Some companies even specialize in creating "offensive" shirts. You won't find them in your local retail store, but anyone can buy them online and wear them in public.
So why did a shirt sold by J.C. Penney cause so much controversy? It didn't contain any "4-letter words" or "adult" themes. But it did carry a message that shocked just about everyone who saw it.
A Sexist Message
The shirt in question was intended for young girls aged 7 – 16. It featured bright colors, hearts and cute little doodles. And it boldly proclaimed a message you wouldn't expect to see from family-friendly J.C. Penney.
"I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me."
For people across the country, this message was loud and clear: who needs brains when you have beauty?
Public Reaction
J.C. Penney's "too pretty tee" was only available online. It reportedly came with an equally appalling description: "Who has time for homework when there's a new Justin Bieber album out? She'll love this tee that's just as cute and sassy as she is." Apparently the shirt didn't sell too well. The price quickly dropped from $16.99 to $9.99.
People who saw it were outraged. You just don't expect that kind of sexism these days, at least not from a family-oriented retailer. Irate consumers quickly made their voices heard. They used social media as an outlet to express their disappointment and anger at J.C. Penney.
J.C. Penney Reacts
Not long after the complaints began, J.C. Penney pulled the shirt from their website. People are happy that it's gone, but still wondering why it was ever available. In the hopes of smoothing things out, a company representative released the following statement of apology:
"J.C. Penney is committed to being America's destination for great style and great value for the whole family. We agree that the 'Too pretty' t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale. Our merchandise is intended to appeal to a broad customer base, not to offend them. We would like to apologize to our customers and are taking action to ensure that we continue to uphold the integrity of our merchandise that they have come to expect."
What Do You Think?
How do you feel about this shirt? Was J.C. Penney far over the line, or is this just a harmless tee?
Some people publicly announced that they were incensed by this shirt and would never shop at J.C. Penney again. Only time will tell if the company's apology will help prevent current customers from becoming former customers.

Ramirez cautious as DL stint nears conclusion
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez wants to get his latest return from the disabled list right. If that means waiting beyond Monday, the first day he's eligible to return from a left knee injury, then he will wait.
Ramirez's caution makes sense for his current team on two fronts. First, the Brewers would benefit from having him healthy and productive in the lineup, with No. 3 hitter Ryan Braun still dealing with discomfort in his right hand and Corey Hart out for the season. Second, the team could shop Ramirez much more proactively on the trade market if he is producing at his customarily consistent level.
"I really have to make sure that I'm healthy enough to play when I come back," said Ramirez, who spent the All-Star break at home in the Dominican Republic. "I won't try to be a hero. I won't go out there if I'm not healthy enough, because I won't help the team, I won't help myself by doing that. If I feel like I won't be ready [on Monday], I won't be back."
Ramirez, whose three-year contract runs through 2014, says he does not concern himself with trade rumors.
"I've been around for a while, and I will be good trying to block out the things that I cannot control," he said. "That's one of those things I cannot control. The only thing I can control is my play on the field. Nothing would surprise me. I'm ready for anything."
One national baseball writer surmised on Friday that the Yankees and Red Sox would each send a scout to file reports on Ramirez after he returns from the DL. If both clubs prove interested in the 35-year-old right-handed slugger, it could turn into a situation similar to last July, when Brewers GM Doug Melvin pitted division rivals (Angels and Rangers) against each other bidding for right-hander Zack Greinke.
Greinke, who landed with the Angels, was performing at a much higher level at the time than Ramirez has in 2013. Dogged all season by a knee he first sprained during Spring Training, he has been limited to five home runs, 11 doubles, 26 RBIs and 54 games.
After a successful round of batting practice in the indoor cages on Friday afternoon, Ramirez could not commit to a Monday return. That was OK with manager Ron Roenicke.
"I talked to him today, and I'm not sure if he'll be ready Monday," Roenicke said. "He told me he's going to be smart this time. He's not just going to go out there and play on it regardless. ... We were careful with him, but he wants to play. He doesn't like to sit out. He knows how much we need him out there. As hard as it was for him to not perform well, you certainly respect a player who will go out there when he's not 100 percent, knowing that he can help a team win even though he's got some pain."

Note the arcade on the ground floor. Possibly the inspiration for the five massive arches on the façade of the Lincoln Center building?

TLOZ: Lincoln Center was largely inspired by Rome's EUR neighborhood built in the 1930's during Mussolini's regime.

I thought that the inspiration for the layout of Lincoln Center was the Campidoglio, also in Rome:

An Unusual Design Is Improved, and a Landmark Is Born
By CHRISTOPHER GRAY
Left, RIBA Library Photographs Collection, London; Lars Klove for The New York Times
FIRST COUSINS The Van Corlear, left, built in 1879 on Seventh Avenue from 55th to 56th Streets, was a precursor of the Dakota, right, built five years later on Central Park West by the same team: the developer Edward Clark and the architect Henry J. Hardenbergh.
THE Dakota apartment building, with its grandiose gables and courtyard, may seem like one of a kind in New York, but when the developer Edward Clark and the architect Henry J. Hardenbergh built it in 1884, they had already built a structure very close in scope five years earlier. A look at the genesis of this precursor building, the Van Corlear, offers a better understanding of the Dakota because it so clearly benefited from lessons the two men learned the first time around.
Avery Library
Rooms in the Van Corlear (in the floor plan) were strung along a doughnut shape, a design that was also used in the Dakota.
New York State Historical Association
The developer Edward Clark.
The architect Henry J. Hardenbergh.
Mr. Clark, who made millions running the Singer Sewing Machine Company, had bought the land for his famous Dakota on New Years Eve 1877. A week earlier, he had bought a similar full blockfront, on the west side of Seventh Avenue, from 55th to 56th Streets, for what became the Van Corlear, which survived until 1925 and was then replaced by a hotel.
He and Mr. Hardenbergh filed plans for the Van Corlear (a Dutch name probably drawn from the early history of New York) in early 1878. It was to be a $300,000, 36-apartment French flat, as such structures were called. Later that year, The New York Times described this development as a strictly foreign mode of living, albeit one increasing in popularity with the middle and upper classes who found the typical row house inconvenient and wasteful.
The design had six stories of fiery red brick, with Queen Anne and Renaissance detailing. It was ambitious in size but not remarkably different from other smaller, tentative efforts under way elsewhere.
The building was divided internally in halves, north and south, and the architect brought the entrances back onto the side streets, leaving a Seventh Avenue front that he surely hoped would impress. But Montgomery Schuyler, in The Architectural Record in 1897, demurred, describing the style as jerky and detonating and adding that it looked militaristic.
The novel part of the project was the interior. The Times immediately noticed the most salient characteristic: A feature of the plan is the absence of little air shafts scattered throughout. These tiny, useless slots were replaced by a large, open court in the rear, 90 feet long and perhaps 35 feet wide. The area had a fountain, and Mr. Schuyler, identifying French trends of the era, enthusiastically described it as a courtyard worthy of the name.
Indeed, what took place off-street was what remained striking about this structure. The apartments were planned with a skill and élan that other developers had trouble matching even decades later. At 2,000 to 2,500 square feet each, these two- and three-bedroom apartments mostly avoided the long hall that bedeviled later designers, and had fairly good separation of entertaining, sleeping and service functions.
The courtyard permitted a compact arrangement, with a central circulation spine and good ventilation. The apartments were strung out along the doughnut shape of the Van Corlear, with exposures on the street and the courtyard. Mr. Hardenbergh tended to put the dining rooms on the courtyard and the parlors on the street front, so there was a variation of outlook in entertaining.
Bedrooms had real spaces for clothes, unlike the near broom closets typical at the turn of the century. The servants rooms and such households could not function without servants were as good as any even in top buildings in the 1920s. There was only one real drawback, by modern standards: apartments generally had only one bathroom each.
No interior photographs survive, but The Real Estate Record & Guide noted that most of the halls, vestibules and landings were laid with beautiful Spanish mosaic floor tiles. The existence of an intercom system is suggested by the journals specific reference to the bell works in the building. All the doors, sash and other woodwork was made at the Singer works in South Bend, Ind.
On the Dakota, begun in 1880, Mr. Hardenbergh and Mr. Clark spent $25,000 per unit, as opposed to about $8,000 at the Van Corlear. But they also made telling refinements: They chose light buff brick in the French Renaissance style much more restful than the harsh red of the Van Corlear and altered the front on Central Park West with three bays. Apartment layouts were modified to create more distinct zones. And at 10 stories, the new building was much more imposing than its cousin.
The 56 Dakota apartments had no dearth of bathrooms; each had as many as four. Nor did they suffer with a defect peculiar to the Van Corlear, whose courtyard had been used as an entrance for clattering grocers wagons and ice deliverers. At the Dakota the courtyard was for residents only. Deliveries were made in a below-grade turnaround, just under the courtyard.
In its assessment of the Van Corlear, The Record & Guide wrote that its creation had given Mr. Clark a true insight into the actual requirements of our city. And in view of the Dakotas singularity in the New York landscape today, truer words were never written.

The Seagram's Church Institute Building rose to a height of 74 metres 23 floors. It stands on the current site of 17 state street. It lived from 1969 to about 1985. This is a photo of Lower Manhattan from the late 70s or early 80s featuring this building (which is that red or possibly orange building at the bottom, which is shorter that those two black-coloured office buildings).
This gem was razed to make way for Vornado's filthy, disgusting 330 Madison.
What a crime. The pigs at Vornado should at least spring for a new facade for that horrific eyesore.
Americans are barbarous pigs.
1. The nice buildings whose disappearance you decry were also by/for 'Merrykuns
2. Many USians fight to protect such buildings; many more are merely pathetic and a minority os wreakign havoc.
3. One day, and it's not 50 yrs form now, people/isntitutions will be building Beaux Arts buildigns in quantity again. Mark my words.
"Americans are barbarous pigs."
Darn, LondonLawyer....a little harsh
Shall we we delve into the very brutal murderous ways of the British Empire?
McSam on the other hand...feel free to flogg...
the question would be 'where does this statement put him'?
No-one must like part or all of the place they are from.
More to the point of our forum, however, this country shows a disregard for the past. That the city permits pigs like Macklowe, Solow, Zuckerman, etc. to raze pieces of our history is sickening. It would not happen in Europe.

anyway, its much easier to preserve historical structures when only a subset remain due to a war that wiped out many.
