Rangers-Islanders, home and home
Posted By On December 2, 2010 @ 7:00 am In Hockey,New York Rangers | 134 Comments
Here it is. Another test. This one of a completely different variety than Monday's. That was a barometer game, against a very good team on an absolute roll. The Rangers failed that one, because they lost.
This is a new sort of test. Two games against a rival (you can't really call them arch-rivals anymore, can you?) that's really pretty bad. And one that beat you earlier in the season. Maybe your worst loss of the season, actually.
So how do you respond? And can anything but a sweep a passing grade?
Derek Boogaard is expected back — remember last time, the Islanders wanted no part of him, and there was also that near fracas during warmups. Matt Gilroy and Todd White are the likely pruchas. Sean Avery played on the No. 1 line with Erik Christensen and Marian Gaborik yesterday; Derek Stepan centered Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan, and Artem Anisimov dropped down to the fourth line (where he excelled last season, but which should just be an attempt at jump-starting him this year).
Here are the pre-series notes, from the Rangers:

RANGERS vs. ISLANDERS:
The Blueshirts have started games off strong this season, tallying the first goal of the game in 17 of their 26 games and posting a record of 12-4-1 in those contests. The Rangers own a record of 8-1-1 when leading after the first period, having out-scored their opponent, 18-11, in the opening frame. Brandon Dubinsky leads the team with four, first period goals on the season, followed by Brian Boyle with three goals.
Tomorrow's contest will begin the Rangers' seventh of 18 back-to-back sets this season. The Blueshirts are currently 3-3-0 in the first game of back-to-backs, and are 2-3-0 when the first game of the set is on the road following a 3-0 win on Friday at Florida. New York has posted a record of 6-0-0 in the second game of back-to-backs this season following a 2-1 shootout win on Saturday at Nashville, having out-scored their opponent, 18-6, and are 1-0-0 when the second game is at home. Over the last two seasons, New York is 15-2-2 in the second game of back-to-back sets, including a 5-1-1 mark at MSG over the span.
The Rangers have had nine different players credited with at least one game winning goal this season, which is tied for fourth most in the league. New York trails Detroit (10), Tampa Bay (10) and Washington (10) by one, and is tied with Montreal entering tonight's action.
The Blueshirts currently lead the NHL with 433 blocked shots on the season, averaging a league-high, 16.7 blocked shots per contest. Dan Girardi leads the NHL with 77 blocked shots, and Ryan Callahan leads all NHL forwards with 35 blocked shots.
The Rangers currently rank first in the NHL with 776 hits on the season, and lead the league with an average of 29.8 hits per contest. Ryan Callahan currently ranks second in the NHL with 102 hits.
Based on opening day rosters, the Rangers have the ninth youngest team in the NHL with an average age of 27 years and 44 days, and the second youngest defensive corp in the league, trailing only Los Angeles with an average age of 25 years and 51 days.
With a 5-2 win on Nov. 20 at Minnesota, Rangers Head Coach John Tortorella recorded his 300th career NHL victory to become the 40th head coach in league history to reach the mark. Tortorella has posted a record of 303-276-37-52 in 668 regular season games over 11 seasons with the Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning, and is tied for 11th among active NHL head coaches on the NHL's all-time wins list and ranks first among U.S.-born coaches with 303 career victories.

Ave Verum Corpus natum
de Maria Virgine.
Vere passum immolatum
in cruce pro homine:
cuius latum perforatum
aqua fluxit et sanguine.
Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.
Hail, true Body, truly born
of the Virgin Mary mild.
Truly offered, wracked and torn,
on the Cross for all defiled,
from Whose love-pierced, sacred side
flowed Thy true Blood's saving tide:
be a foretaste sweet to me
in my death's great agony

Audio: Not that contemporary
Culture | New labels seek to reshape CCM, but don't yet
Newly created Here To Him Music and Driven Music, spin-offs of Louisiana-based Howard Publishing, have entered the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) market with two attention-grabbing CDs that exhibit "new expressions of songs and artistry that are coming from today's churches." The two new labels and their inaugural releases take on the bustling CCM world with gusto. But the question remains: Is it fresh or just business as usual? Opening Windows features an evening of praise and worship hosted by pastor Max Lucado at San Antonio's Oak Hills Church. Jeff Nelson's 60-member choir gives tunes like "Ancient of Days" and "There's a Stirring" informal but studio-quality readings. Mr. Lucado interpolates inspirational meditations (not a sermon). A "praise team" of pop-style leaders encourages the country, rock, and R&B settings. The "band" is obviously a professional ensemble. The frequent applause reinforces the "show for God" atmosphere. While the technical quality of Opening Windows is high, there is nothing really fresh here. In fact, younger listeners might be impatient with Here to Him's use of Integrity/Hosanna style arrangements, which go back 20 years. The second CD, Artists Acappella: The Signature Songs showcases "CCM's most acclaimed artists" singing their "foremost songs in stirring pop vocal arrangements." They're all here: First Call, Cindy Morgan, Mark Lowry, Babbie Mason, John Elefante, Dallas Holm, Ron Kenoly, Michael O'Brien, Bruce Carroll, The Martins. If you have heard First Call's "An Evening in December," this continues the band's style. There is vocal rhythm along the lines of Take Six and Glad, but without the polish of those groups. For devotees of a cappella singing by The King's Singers (and other ensembles whose vocal energy is undeniable but never forced, edgy, or spread), this CD will be a disappointment. Its perfectly blended sound is obviously done electronically (the technicians do miracles here). While it is fascinating for a few minutes, it becomes subject to the tedium that plagues much of CCM. On the positive side, the benefits of performing a cappella would be remarkable in CCM. Let's hope other ensembles get the message that pop does not always require the din of a trap set or electric bass. Especially striking are "Sometimes Miracles Hide," a ballad about an abortion decision, and The Martins' full-throated rendition of the Doxology in a fairly straightforward format. Why is this double release trumpeted so loudly in the promotional literature? In the worship music category, the nightclub atmosphere with applause and front-and-center vocal leadership is among the slickest I have encountered. Emotional manipulation is easy with this level of entertainment, but it begs the question about the theology of worship. In the vocal performance category we are led to believe that Driven Music is the label that will reshape Contemporary Christian Music. But what they showcase so far has all been done before. Max Lucado listeners should recognize that Here to Him is a company borrowing (with permission) his name and church for commercial purposes. Listeners should beware of the temptation to replace the local congregation's simplicity with what one hears on a professionally recorded CD, which is, after all, a business venture-not church.

Shhh, Go Back to Sleep . . . It'll All Just Go Away
It is becoming abundantly clear that the Undemocratic Party-Quackademia-Lame/Brained Media triumvirate are not quite catching what's going on around them. Whether it is the polls going south on them, the political prognostications, the abject despair of their base, or the enthusiastic opposition, the Left is just wishing it away. That's a good thing.

Donovan McNabb didn't like the fact the Detroit Lions locked up quarterback Matt Stafford to a mega contract extension this week, saying the young strong-armed passer 'had done nothing' to earn it.
Stafford had a chance to respond while guesting on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike In The Morning," per the Detroit Free Press. While McNabb pointed to Stafford's losing record and lack of playoff victories, Stafford got from where the former Eagles, Redskins and Vikings quarterback was coming.
"I understand his point of view," Stafford said on Thursday. "I'm all about wins and losses as well."
Stafford has a 17-29 overall record as a starter since being drafted first overall in 2009. He lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Lions' wild-card appearance after the 2011 season and his career regular-season record against teams that finish with a winning record is 1-22 . But it's still a big deal that he helped Detroit get back to the playoffs after a long drought.
For Stafford, the goal in 2013 is to lead the Lions back into the playoffs, and show more of the prolific yet efficient form he had in '11.
"I'm trying to please the Lions and my teammates and my coaches and nobody else" Stafford told hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. "So people can say what they want to say, but as long as the guys in that locker room and that building believe in me, then that's all that matters."

Your health is in peril: What will you do about it?
Old-Thinker News | Jan 23, 2012
By Daniel Taylor
How many people do you know have had or are currently battling cancer? Do you know anyone who is overweight or has some type of chronic illness treated with pharmaceutical drugs? Chances are that you answered yes to one of these questions, and more than one person fit the description.
There are many issues that are assaulting our bodies in this modern age. The western world seems to be in the crosshairs, despite claims to advanced technology and science. The following are but a handful of the outstanding issues of our day. Use this information to empower yourself. There are few things that you have direct control of in your life; Your health is one of them. Don't rely on the "experts" to tell you about the full spectrum of issues that you need to pay attention to. Medical research is too often hijacked by the grant making powers in the form of large tax exempt foundations with agendas of their own.
Too many people have been conditioned to give up all conscious decision making with regards to their own health. This is partly due to the relentless bombardment of health "studies" thrown at us on the nightly news, convincing us that no matter what we do, there is always something to give us cancer or high blood pressure. Then, those of us who are attempting to improve our health with supplements are told that vitamins and supplements may in fact cause harm! In a sense it is learned helplessness.
The following is publicly available information that you may verify for yourself if you choose to do so. I'm not a doctor, but I have done enough research to understand that as a society our collective health is in a state of necrosis. Much of it is due to poor personal choices, but on the other hand it is due to deliberate deception, leaving unwitting masses to fall into a state of poor health out of ignorance. There is a war on for you mind and body.
– A study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that as of 1994, properly prescribed and used pharmaceutical drugs accounted for the "…fourth and sixth leading cause of death…" in the United States.
– In the 1950's – through a massive polio vaccine campaign – millions of people in both Canada and the United States were injected with the monkey virus called SV40. As this 1997 CNBC documentary shows, SV40 has been found in cancerous tumors in humans. Rare childhood cancers and Mesothelioma are mentioned in particular.
– Watch this video as renown vaccine developer Dr. Maurice Hilleman jokes about the SV40 contamination.
– Many chronic illnesses are connected to magnesium deficiency (and nutritional deficiencies in general), as magnesium is responsible for well over 300 biochemical processes in the human body. I have personal experience with this. In 2005 the Journal of the American College of Nutrition published a report detailing the severe deficiency of magnesium in American adults. "Among US adults, 68% consumed less than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of magnesium, and 19% consumed less than 50% of the RDA."
– Other factors in our environment are exacerbating the nutrient starved state most of us are in. Fluoride is playing a major role in sabotaging your body's ability to process the food we eat. For example, a 1995 study from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Poland found that "The toxic effect of fluoride ion plays a key role in acute Mg deficiency."
– Thyroid cancer rates are skyrocketing. As USA Today reported recently, it is "baffling medical researchers." "Ten years ago, if I saw four new thyroid cancer patients a year, it would have been a lot," says G. Irene Minor, a radiation oncologist with Indiana University Health Central Indiana Cancer Center. "Now sometimes I see that many in a month, and I have seen three in a week."
– There are reports that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan has spread world-wide. Is there a connection with the rise in thyroid cancer?
– Will there be a doctor shortage? As the American people's health declines, finding a doctor may become increasingly difficult. A 2010 survey from the Physician's Foundation found that around 40% of doctors are considering quitting because of increasing costs and regulations associated with Obamacare. According to the report, "40% of physicians said they would drop out of patient care in the next one to three years, either by retiring, seeking a non-clinical job within healthcare, or by seeking a non-healthcare related job." If physicians don't choose to quit, 59% said they will "spend less time with patients."
– Genetic engineering and its unforeseen consequences may in fact be the health issue of our age. Tom Knight, professor at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab has boldly stated that "The genetic code is 3.6 billion years old. It's time for a rewrite." The genetic code of the planet is indeed being re-written as you read this. Today, 93% of soybeans and 80% of corn is genetically modified. We are all most likely eating GMO food of some sort. Additionally, evidence suggests that gm canola plants have spread into the wild in North Dakota.
– Genetically modified corn produced by Monsanto has been linked to organ failure in rats. The report from the International Journal of Biological Sciences states, "Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function… In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted."
– Sterility and infant mortality have also been connected with genetically modified soy. "After feeding hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet, and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating results," writes prominent GMO researcher Jeffery Smith. "By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies."
– Dr. Herbert Needleman once stated that "We are conducting a vast toxicological experiment in which our children and our children's children are the experimental subjects." How will the current and relatively new health threats introduced to our environment effect future generations?
– Sperm counts are dropping dramatically in men. "As many as one in five healthy young men between the ages of 18 and 25 produce abnormal sperm counts," as the Independent reports. Watch the documentary The Disappearing Male for more information.
– In the modern age of genetics, if you are found to be "predisposed" to potentially develop a certain disease, somewhere there likely exists a patent on the particular gene involved, as well as the "cure." What most people don't know is that there is another level to genetics called Epigenetics. This relatively new field of study shows that just because a gene is present does not mean that it will develop into something serious. Other factors are involved in the expression of genes. Whether or not you get proper nutrition, environmental exposures, and other factors all play a role in how your genes behave.
– Dr. Frank Lipman writes, "It is through the epigenome that environmental factors like diet, stress and prenatal nutrition can make an imprint on genes that pass from one generation to the next. Bottom line: While each of us inherits our own unique, hardwired, unchangeable version of the genetic code, epigenetic factors such as lifestyle and diet can radically change what our genes do." Ultimately this means that "You have a lot more control over your health than you think!"
– Researcher Michael Nield has compiled a good source of information regarding the elite's investigations into epigenetics, coupled with their intent to re-engineer mankind. Read his article Epigenetic Engineering.
– Bertrand Russel told us in his 1953 book The Impact of Science on Society that "Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable…"
– Dr. R. Swinburne Clymer warned in 1958 that foods and liquids would be "…used as a medium in deliberately and carefully planned methods developed by the vicious element of humanity, for the mental deterioration and moral debasement of the mass, as a means toward their enslavement."
What can you do?
Again, your health is one of the few things that you have direct control over in your life. Now is the time to make that realization. Change your mindset from that of a victim to a victor. Do you want to avoid genetically modified foods? Print out this non-gmo shopping guide (PDF). Buy BPA free plastics. Filter your water (I personally use a Berkey filter). Be conscious of the world around you.
Don't think that we aren't having victories against the poisoning of our food and environment. Fluoride is being removed from water supplies in both Canada and the United States in response to active citizens. Consumers are avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup like the plague, and companies are responding with products that don't contain it. The same is happening with BPA. These victories do not mean, however, that we can let our guard down. The war for our minds and bodies will never end.
3 Responses to Your health is in peril: What will you do about it?
Mr. Taylor,

With Prevalence of Nanomaterials Rising, Panel Urges Review of Risks
By CORNELIA DEAN
Published: January 25, 2012
It seems that the wisdom of the wise is actually folly. Certainly, what is happening is not natural, but manmade. Messing with the Creators natural order of things is dangerous, to say the least, and ultimately deadly. Though we may have some control over our health, the fact is there are many more things that we're not in control of that affect human beings and the environment. Toxic substances of all sorts have been released into the environment. Since human beings are at the top of the food chain it makes perfect sense that humans would suffer the consequences. Chemicals that are known for years that certain chemicals they use in the environment are toxic, yet they continue to use them. New technologies utilizing nanoscale particles have created a new toxic threat that is invisible to the current medical establishment, and ignored in the name of making MONEY. Many symptoms associated with the uptake of toxic nano partilces are being blamed on other sources, or are completely ignored as the possible reason for these symptoms. Cancer was relatively unknown until the nuclear age dawned. Air, water, and soil have been thoroughly contaminated with highly radioactive particulates from open air, underwater, and underground testing of nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium munitions are another source of contamination as microscopic particles are picked up by air currents and spread all over. The list of toxic substances and pollutants goes on and on. Humans are at the top of the food chain. Its no wonder the diseases and medical problems that plague humanity are increasing!

I get the feeling he won't have a choice. Or at least, he shouldn't.

He should be in jail for the harm he caused those 3 players. Everyone in the country new this trial was pure crap, and he pressed on to try and make a name for himself. Disbarring him is not enough.

I completely agree. Last year was an election year for him, he was grandstanding for his constituents (majority black citizens, I believe). He didn't even freaking INTERVIEW the accuser until AFTER he was re-elected....and all the exculpatory evidence was turned over to the defense attorneys AFTER he had gotten re-elected.
He caused irreparable damage to each of those players' good standing.
BTW, let's not let the accuser off the hook here. She needs to have serious charges filed against her and she should be doing time. She had a LARGE part in damaging these innocent guys, the DA just took off running with her BS story.
Also, where are the apologies from the Rear End Jesse Jackson, and his cohort Al Sharpton? They decried the horrible racism in the area and "rich white folk" taking advantage of the poor black strippers. It'd be nice if they got roasted publicly for a change.

I would definitely agree with that. You can ruin someone's life just as easily that way as you could if you were on the other side, and the charges were true.
A line from one of my favorite movies, "The Life Of David Gale":
"The accusation of rape is just as good as a conviction."
It's so absolutely true. And before I get myself into trouble, let me make it crystal clear I think rape is an abominable crime, and any man (or woman, for that matter) that commits it deserves to rot in prison, as well as have a few certain body parts rendered unfunctionable. But, all a woman has to do to ruin a man's life (for whatever reason - revenge, jealousy, etc) is accuse him of rape. That will pretty much end his life as he knows it. It's because in America rape is not an "innocent until proven guilty" crime, at least not in the eyes of the public. There's such a rush to try to "make things right" due to a woman facing this horrible crime that the accused sometimes just doesn't get treated fairly, especially when they're not guilty.
Can anyone truly say that these players are ever truly going to get their lives back? Not likely. Some people out there are gonna keep them on their condemned list (a certain 80-some-odd professors who signed that petition at Duke, for instance), regardless they've been proved innocent.
Yes, charges need to be filed against this woman. She has basically altered the direction of 4 young mens' lives which may never be totally fixed. If an example was to be made of the men that supposedly "raped" her, then an example needs to be made of her, one that will make evil-intending women think twice before using rape accusations to their own advantage.

Cardinal pulls out victory in tremendous triple-overtime game
Stanford 56, USC 48, in triple overtime: Best football game in the Pac-10/12 with implications since … when?
Perhaps it's Oregon's near-death-experience, double-overtime victory at Arizona, 44-41, two years ago, setting up a memorable, winner-to-the-Rose Bowl joust with Oregon State in the next game. Oregon won that one 37-33.
Or, for longevity, maybe it goes back to USC's triple-overtime loss to California, 34-31, in 2003.

Stanford has some moxie as well as big guys. The Cardinal was tested by a double-digit, third-quarter deficit, by some flawed moments from Andrew Luck, and by a full house at the Coliseum. And it didn't flinch.
With Stanford trailing 20-10, wrote the Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke, "the entire Coliseum was burning with the sort of passion not felt around here since Pete Carroll walked these sidelines. Players danced, fans swayed, the aging rafters shook, it was yesterday once more."
The Trojans' clock management at the end of regulation might have cost them the upset. At the Stanford 40 with nine seconds and a timeout left, they ran a screen pass at the right hash mark to Robert Woods. By the time he could catch it and motor maybe 35 yards to the left sideline, time had run out, depriving USC of a long field goal attempt even as coach Lane Kiffin bitterly contended his team should have had a second left.
It helps to have a stud in the backfield. On a night when Washington was vulnerable against Arizona, the Huskies were able to turn to Chris Polk, who continued toward a record-setting 2011 bender with five touchdowns in a 42-31 victory. Meanwhile, Utah's John White, 5-foot-8 and 186 pounds but a punishing runner, pounded out 205 yards as the Utes, 27-8 winners over Oregon State, did what Washington State couldn't last week — hurt the banged-up Beavers on the ground.
Kyle Whittingham, the Utah coach, won't endear himself to the OSU coaches with this observation: "I'm surprised Oregon State didn't load the box. They stayed in base stuff they've been playing all season long."
Oregon was vulnerable Saturday. With a little more ground capability, or perhaps having its starting quarterback, and maybe Washington State's effort gets rewarded in a shocking upset. As it was, WSU wasn't vastly outquicked by the quickest team around in a 43-28 defeat.
Cal is our Enigma of the Week. Just when the Bears (4-4, 1-4) appeared to have things figured out, they don't, losing to an embattled UCLA team that was down several receivers suspended for the brawl Oct. 20 in Tucson.
That might have led the Bears to guess UCLA would have to feature the run, but maybe not. Kevin Prince, the oft-injured Bruins quarterback, amassed 163 yards on the ground.
"I told him, 'You cannot run not to get hurt tonight,' " UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel told reporters. "I told him I wanted 100 yards and I would be on his tail if he didn't get his shoulder pads down and go."
John Crumpacker in the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that it was "one of the most mortifying and mystifying games of the Jeff Tedford era … that called into question the Bears' resolve and preparation."
The Bruins (4-4) control their destiny — I can't believe I'm writing this — in the Pac-12 South, and they're two victories from bowl eligibility.
This Week
The headliner is Oregon at Washington, with all sorts of auxiliary subplots, while UCLA plays host to Arizona State in a game in which the winner has the edge — temporarily, at least — for the Pac-12 South berth in the league-title game.

SKIPPACK, Pa. (AP) — A defense attorney says a suburban Philadelphia man accused of having killed his mother and then walking into a police station to confess was mentally ill.
The (Lansdale) Reporter (http://bit.ly/XAmzGT ) says attorney Robert Adshead told a judge in Montgomery County on Wednesday that 54-year-old Warren Pennick's actions stemmed from the paranoid schizophrenia with which he has been afflicted since childhood.
Adshead said Pennick thought erroneously that their home was falling apart, they were going to be homeless and he had to save his mother — "and in his mind, saving her was taking her life."
Pennick is charged with first- and third-degree murder in the Halloween slaying of 79-year-old Lorraine Pennick in their Lansdale home. A district judge on Wednesday held all charges for trial in county court.

HP Intern Program - Americas
Making a hard copy takes a device, often a personal computer, to create a document or presentation and a printer to transfer words and images to paper. That's pretty much the business of HP Inc., one of two companies created from the breakup of Hewlett-Packard Co. HP makes 60% of its revenue from personal systems (notebook computers and desktops) and 40% from printers and supplies such as ink. It's the No. 1 printer company and No. 1 commercial PC maker in the world ( Lenovo is tops overall). About half of revenue comes from customers in the Americas. Even after the breakup HP and sibling HP Enterprise (HPE) would rank in the Fortune 100.
OperationsSales of notebook computers account for a third of HP Inc.'s revenue, followed by printer supplies such as ink cartridges, at 26% of revenue. The business of actually selling printers is 16% of HP's revenue and its split between 10% for commercial printers and 6% from consumer printers. Desktop computer sales bring in about a fifth of revenue and workstations about 6%.
Geographic ReachSome 46% of HP Inc.'s revenue comes from sales to customers in the Americas. Customers in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region generate 25% with the Asia-Pacific region and Japan accounting for 19%.
Sales and MarketingHP markets its products directly, as well as through a wide range of third-party channels, including retailers, resellers and distributors, and original equipment manufacturers, and systems integrators.
Financial PerformanceMost financials aren't available from HP Inc. yet, but when it was part of the former Hewlett-Packard its revenue was $57.3 billion (compared to HPE's $53 million revenue). Moreover, the high-margin printer business was the former company's biggest profit maker.
StrategyFortunately for HP Inc. the vision for the paperless office hasn't come true. The company pegs the printer market at $234 billion and still growin. People in offices and homes still want to print documents and images and many of them do it with HP printers and HP ink. For years the printer business profits helped pay for other Hewlett-Packard units that had a hard time finding traction. Now HP Inc. can take some of that money and invest in research and development. With its Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer HP is moving beyond images and words on a page to objects. It also is looking at what are called A3 printers that handle 11 inch by 17 inch sized paper as well as the standard 8 ½ by 11 inch pages. Managed-print services is another area receiving serious attention from HP.
The PC side isn't as cheery. Overall PC shipments have declined for several years for just about all PC makers. The state of the PC has even driven HP and competitors such as Dell and Lenovo to run an advertising campaign touting new capabilities for PCs running the Microsoft Windows operating system (Microsoft also is part of the campaign).

Hey birders!
The Brown Pelican on German Lake was still present at 8:30 this morning. I found the bird on the extreme southwest side of the lake where it was loafing on a rock in a small bay. The good news is that this bird was easily viewable from the road and did not require a boat to view.
To get to this area, take CR13/Beaver Dam Rd. north from its junction with CR16. At one point, CR13 will bend to the west and you will be able to see German Lake to your northeast through a large gap in the trees. Watch for a sign that says "Model Home for sale" and turn right onto that road. This is a short gravel cul de sac and the bird was easily scoped from the road to the east.
Happy birding!

If sport matters, honesty matters. A report from Ireland
By Tom Humphries
A man stopped me at the airport the other morning about Michelle Smith and [radio host] Marian Finucane yacking away the previous morning and we were baffled not just at Finucane's prolonged cheerleading for one of the biggest cheats in sports history but at the general level of delusion there is about cheating in Ireland. I got on the plane to Sydney wondering if it's not just a general problem with our culture.
Michelle was on with Marian to talk about what it was like four years ago to be excitedly planning for the Olympic Games. Marian's ignorance on the cheating business is wilfully pure and wondrous in a woman who is generally copped on.
So what were you doing four years ago Michelle? asked
"Well," Michelle might have said, but didn't, "I was submitting a dodgy freestyle swim from Florida which got two of the officials who signed for it sacked from their jobs but which fooled everyone else. That nicely screwed up the Olympics of my colleague Marian Madine.
"I had not long previously sent back a doping control form which said that I was the only Olympian who didn't
know where I would be just before the Games! And, of
course, most exciting, my banned, cheat husband had just been handed an accreditation by the Olympic Council of Ireland."
"Oooh. Very nice. Eat your heart out John Treacy," Marian might have said. But instead, much cooing: Michelle's achievements in Atlanta still stand, said Marian. Then Ronnie Delany came on (still can't get over the wonder of himself, poor Ronnie) and made fawning noises to Michelle.
What a kick in the teeth for any clean young athlete tuning in. Ronnie thinks Michelle is cool. Damn it, he should have refused to be on the same programme.
No mention of androstenodione. No mention of the forensics lab in the University of Lausanne that found no traces of external tampering with the containers that had the whiskey inside. No mention of Michelle's campaign to destroy Al and Kay Guy. No mention of missed tests.
Believing Michelle involves believing that 200 people in six separate institutions met up to concoct a plot against her. People in RTÉ (Irish Radio) seem to believe this.
Ah, but stop, I'm wasting my breath. I write all this not to kick Michelle when she is down, but because cheating is one of the themes of the pending Olympics and in good measure that's because of Michelle Smith. We Irish are about the only ones who still don't get it.
When Gary Hall and Kieran Perkins bickered the other day that Hall (banned once for smoking dope) whined that he didn't want to be bracketed with cheats like the East Germans, the Chinese and Michelle Smith, he was merely reflecting the fact that everywhere except in Ireland ("Michelle re-lives agony," said the Herald!), Michelle Smith is a byword for big time cheating.
Inside Sports magazine damned Inge de Bruijn last week by publishing a stat list of her improvements alongside a list of Michelle's improvements. A newspaper columnist expressing how right it was that the Chinese should withdraw athletes used mention of Michelle Smith to show how we've all been burned before.
Michelle haunts these Games. A man on the television the other day described the phenomenon of "I'm a victim, everyone else is a cheat" as "Michelle Smith Syndrome."
Another writer asked people to consider the chain of people who had been bumped down the line by Michelle Smith in Atlanta. So I did. Start with Marion Madine. Onto the kids who missed out on just being in an Olympic final because Michelle Smith was in it. Then the fourth place finishers almost touching bronze.
Finally, there were the kids who face chasing down
a list of dodgy Swim Ireland records. Ooops, nearly forgot all the kids who just worshipped Michelle as a hero.
Don't worry. Marian Finucane has reassurance. Michelle's Olympic achievements still stand! They do, they do. People speaking of them now more than ever. Elsewhere.
Look. It matters that Michelle cheated. It matters
that she didn't own up. It matters that sport be clean.
Go to the opposite extreme. Padraig Harrington calls a shot on himself in the US Open or loses a tournament he was going to win because of a scorecard error, well it matters that he did the right thing and with grace. If sport matters, honesty in sport matters.

Top 5 All Natural Allergy Fighters
Allergy season is almost in full swing, but you still have time to arm yourself with all natural remedies instead of reaching for over-the-counter drugs with unwanted side effects. Here are five all natural allergy remedies to consider.
Quercetin: This powerful antioxidant blocks the release of histamine, significantly reducing allergy symptoms. Additionally, quercetin has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Typically, one should take quercetin consistently for 2 weeks before they feel the benefits.
Local Bee Pollen: Visit your local health food store and stock up on this allergy fighter. You can take it by the spoonful or add it to foods. Since it's local, it will slowly introduce the pollen to your body and essentially desensitize you from the inside out. After a week or two, allergy symptoms should subside.
Pine Bark: One of the most studied pine bark extracts is the patented formula, Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol has powerful antioxidant properties and studies using Pycnogenol for allergy prevention have indicated that it can significantly reduce symptoms.
Stinging Nettle Extract: Naturopathic doctor and Live in the Now contributor, Dr. Kevin Passero, says that stinging nettle extract is "one most effective substances in the natural pharmacy for relieving allergy symptoms." It's best to start supplementation as early as possible for best results.
Butterbur: Butterbur has demonstrated some impressive results in many clinical trials and is reported to be as effective as leading OTC treatments at relieving the four biggest allergy symptoms: runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing and nasal congestion.

What's Next: Haute Cuisine
"You will never get oysters from my kitchen," says chef Tim Raue, "because I hate oysters."
That's not something you expect to hear from a gourmet chef, especially one with two Michelin stars and a closet full of toques from Gault-Millau, the prestigious French restaurant guide. But Mr. Raue isn't your typical culinary genius. And oysters aren't the only things missing from his menu.
At his Ma Restaurant in Berlin's famed Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Mr. Raue has banished starch altogether -- no brot (bread), no nudeln (noodles), no kartoffeln (German potato wedges). What's more, his cuisine is completely gluten-free and lactose-free, something almost unheard of in Michelin-starred restaurants, where flour, butter and cream play key roles.
What you will find at Ma is Asian-inspired cooking full of originality, daring and nutrition that still manages to taste good.
Gluten and dairy, says Mr. Raue, "are not a must" in gourmet cuisine. His beliefs stem from a philosophy of healthy eating, and a desire to please all his customers, including those with allergies. About 40% of all diners, according to Mr. Raue, have a sensitivity to gluten or lactose or both.
Journal Community
As opinionated and energetic as he is ambitious, Mr. Raue aims to do more than just stuff his customers with luxurious preparations of expensive ingredients. He wants to feed their heads as well as their stomachs with what he calls "new flavors and the balance of food, body and soul."
Each dish at Ma is calibrated to maximize not just flavor but also the diner's physical and spiritual well-being. This produces some unusual combinations: vegetables with fruit; raw with cooked; a citrus tang with just about everything. A Waldorf salad features truffle slices and crunchy black beans among tart apples and celery. Slices of impossibly tender Wagyu beef rib come surrounded by tiny Brussels sprouts stuffed with a cream made from lovage (a European variant of celery), and topped with grape slices. A predessert palate-cleanser arrives on a stick -- a goat's milk, fennel and pineapple popsicle coated in white chocolate. Lactose intolerance was never this fun.
Mr. Raue, a 36-year-old Berlin native, took up cooking almost by accident (a high-school teacher suggested the restaurant business might fit his creative, hard-working personality). But he has risen quickly to the profession's top tier. Previously chef at the Swiss[ocirc ]tel Berlin's acclaimed Restaurant 44, Mr. Raue now runs six establishments located in and around the Hotel Adlon with his wife, Marie-Anne, who also serves as ma[icirc ]tre d'h[ocirc ]tel, sommelier and recipe sounding board. He says he is always "looking for whether a dish is healthy for the body." He even hopes to apply that philosophy to German food in a new restaurant he'll open this year or next that will feature his grandmother's recipes. It'll still be dairy-free, but even Mr. Raue acknowledges you can't have a German restaurant without gluten.
We caught up with Mr. Raue between lunch and dinner seatings in Ma's dining room, where sleek slate-grey-and-gold tables surround a huge terra-cotta Chinese Han-dynasty era (202 B.C.-A.D. 220) horse.
What motivates your cooking?
All the German chefs of my generation, we're absolutely based in France and in French cuisine; our star chefs have a basis in France. I wanted to change this.
What I'm interested in is the Chinese philosophy of eating. This doesn't mean Chinese cooking. It means the idea they have that everything you eat makes sense to your body, to your needs -- what you need to get energy, to be balanced, to be fit, to cool down in the summer, to warm up in the winter. I am also very interested in Japanese cooking -- for me they are the world champions for perfection and products. But ultimately, I am searching for amazing taste and for me the best style of cuisine for taste is Thai. They use a lot of herbs. They buy something directly at the market, they bring it to the wok and cook it right away. My cooking is a mix of all of that, but I will never forget my own ideas and my own soul. Each dish is a unique plate.
How does this play out in your menus?
It means the dishes make sense. [In my winter tasting menu] you get this ice-cream stick which is done with goat's milk and pineapple, which helps your stomach to work on the beef and the chicken you had before.
Where do you get that knowledge?
Reading. And I worked for five years with Swiss[ocirc ]tel and I was often in Singapore and Hong Kong and Japan....I looked for books and talked to a lot of chefs and went out to a lot of restaurants. If I go to a city, I never ask about any cultural thing; my culture is shopping and food. Shopping I need for visual inspiration for new dishes and I need to go to restaurants to understand the philosophy of the people.
What are you looking for in a new dish?
My goal is that you must have fun on the palate. That means you have a temporary taste on your mouth with each dish. If you start eating my chicken, at first you have the taste of chicken in your mouth, then you have the vegetables around it which give you texture -- and also a different idea of freshness, and you have a very deep special sauce. If you only eat the sauce it can cover everything but if you have all this covering the mouth and you start eating again with one of the vegetables or meat, you refresh the palate and you have a new way of what is happening on the palate. For me this is important: As a chef, you are looking at what is happening in the mouth, not only what you are putting on the plate. You have a concept and a structure: what happened with the first bite, the third, the fourth.
What inspires a new recipe?
I see a plate. I fall in love with a plate and I say, "Great, what can I do with this plate?" Maybe it's a round plate and I can make something in the center and then use the surrounding part to give it more color. So I think what can I do that might be round? And I start with that.
I bought a towel from Kenzo this year. It was hand-embroidered -- a big picture, artisanal, with flowers. It was so great. It was done in green and purple and pink. It looked like a picture from the jungle, and it inspired me, the mix of colors. (The Raue creation that this towel inspired was a dish of slow-roasted octopus with Granny Smith apple and purple curry.)
With some of your dishes it's almost like you're taunting the customer.
A famous food photographer was just in my restaurant and he complained to me, saying, "I just had six courses and normally a menu starts and there are one or two highlights, and here I had six highlights. For me it was too much."
Here you cannot rest. There is not one course where you can talk with friends and eat with one spoon and say I'm not interested [in the meal]. There is taste. The chef has a character. And he is putting his character on the plate, directly on your palate.
You want your dishes to entertain.
For me it is a kind of theater. Most chefs have a kind of boring main course; for me the main course must be the one, it must be perfectly balanced, absolute flavor. And the dessert must say bye-bye with an energy treat with a lot of vitamins and acidity and a natural taste. Natural means there is no white sugar, no dairy products and, of course, no gluten.
What do you cook at home?
I don't...I love to go to restaurants. My second home is a [nearby] Chinese restaurant...This year I went 170 times.
Haute cuisine has seen a lot of trends. What do you think will be next?
The trend will be organic and healthy. This to me means the Chinese philosophy. No one is talking in the Western world about the philosophy of food: why we eat what we eat. They may look at it if they're thinking of going on a diet. But if they're healthy or are in good shape, they never look at why they eat something.

Plessey has acquired University of Cambridge spin-out CamGaN, and will be using its technology to make white power LEDs in Plymouth.
Its critical intellectual property is a way of growing LED-quality GaN on silicon substrates.
"This technology is the product of substantial R&D investment over the past decade and the plans for its commercial development within Plessey have tremendous potential," said co-inventor Professor Sir Colin Humphreys, director of Cambridge's centre for GaN.
It if can be done commercially, growing LED-grade GaN on silicon offers significant cost savings over the more costly sapphire and SiC substrates currently used.
"Our solutions harness novel, patent-protected technologies that increase the epiwafer throughput of standard MOCVD reactors by more than 40%," claimed CamGaN. "By increasing throughput without compromising quality, this technology offers the ability to decrease costs of LED dies by up to 80%."
Belgian company EpiGaN and Welsh wafer maker IQE also have GaN-on-Si technology.
"We believe this acquisition positions us among the first commercial players to successfully manufacture high-brightness LEDs on 6in. silicon substrates," said Plessey.
White outputs of 150 lm/W are planned for late Q4 2012.
This is a high efficacy. Is Plessey sure?
"The 150 lm/W figure is based on the normal benchmark of 350mA input current – 1W input. Hence we have to achieve >600mW light output, which is over 60% efficiency from the combined blue light output and phosphor conversion to white light," Plessey marketing manager Derek Rye told Electronics Weekly. "This is recognised as a challenging target, but one we believe is achievable by around the end of 2012."
First samples have peak emission at 460nm, said Plessey, and the technology extends to other wavelengths such as cyan and green.
The firm also announced plans to release a range of chips for lighting: "These smart lighting products will enable intelligent energy management, remote control, controlled dimming and automated response to ambient conditions."

NCAA DIV. III BASKETBALL: Royals sent on road for first round, Lady Royals to host
Carl Danzig thought this might be the year.
With a 24-3 record, a Landmark Conference championship and a No. 2 ranking in the region, the University of Scranton men's basketball coach felt his team deserved to host an NCAA Division III tournament game.
The selection committee didn't feel the same.
Instead, the Royals will board a bus and travel 235 miles to Brockport, N.Y., to face Hobart College in the first round Friday at 5:30 p.m. The winner will advance to Saturday's second round against either Brockport State or Morrisville State.
While he was disappointed, Danzig chose not to dwell on it.
"You know what, we're in and we've done this before," Danzig said. "I've got guys on the team who have been in this situation. They know how to travel and get ready for this kind of game.
"We're disappointed, but you've got to win. You've got to go on the road at some point anyway. It's been a great year. No hosting is not going to deter from what we want to accomplish."
Meanwhile, the Lady Royals wound up benefiting from the men being sent on the road. Scranton will host the first two rounds of the women's tournament and face Bridgewater State University (Mass.) in its opener Friday.
Vassar College and Williams College is the other first-round matchup Friday at the John Long Center. The two winners will meet Saturday in the second round.
"We're very, very happy," Lady Royals coach Mike Strong said. "We're home, sleeping in our own beds, on our own schedule, (eating) our own food. It means a great deal instead of piling in a bus.
"I'm very surprised the men didn't get to host. But that being said, I'm very happy that we have it."
This is the 25th time that the Royals will play in the Division III men's tournament. That ranks second behind Wittenberg University, which qualified for the 27th time.
Hobart (21-6) is making only its fourth NCAA appearance, but has gone each of the last three seasons. The Statesmen won the Liberty League title for the second year in a row, outlasting Vassar in the final, 75-74, in double overtime.
Senior Richie Bonney is Hobart's top player, averaging 19.9 points and 11.2 rebounds.
Brockport (24-3) is making its 10th NCAA appearance and first since 2009. The Golden Eagles won the State University of New York Athletic Conference title, rallying from a 19-point deficit early in the second half to upend Plattsburgh State, 57-56.
Morrisville State (19-8) is making its third straight trip to the NCAAs after again winning the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) title.
"I think it's a very good draw," Danzig said. "I feel really good about it."
Should the Royals survive the opening weekend of the tournament and advance to the "Sweet 16," there is a potential rematch with Cabrini College. The Cavaliers handed the Royals one of their three losses this season.
"That would be awesome. We figured our paths might cross again," Danzig said. "But we've got to get to that point. The only thing that matters right now is Hobart. We're going to have out hands full getting ready for them."
As for the Landmark Conference champion Lady Royals (24-3), they lead all Division III women's teams in NCAA appearances with 27.
Bridgewater State (16-11) won the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MSCAC) title to qualify for the NCAA tournament for the fourth straight year and ninth time overall.
Jenna Williamson, a senior, is the Bears' all-time leading scorer. She was named MVP of the MSCAC tournament after she scored 63 points in two games, including a school-record 36 in a semifinal win over Salem State.
Vassar (22-5) is the Liberty League champion and making its third NCAA tournament appearance.
Williams (20-5), out of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), received an at-large bid to the tournament. This is its eighth NCAA appearance.
Last year, the Ephs defeated the Lady Royals in the first round, 79-59, on their way to the Final Four, where they lost to eventual champion DePauw.
"We're playing with a lot of confidence," Strong said. "We're not a Cinderella team. We expected to be here. The kids have worked extremely hard, they're talented, their chemistry is excellent. This is what we planned for."
"Sweet 16" and "Elite Eight" rounds will be held March 14-15 with the Final Fours to take place March 21-22. The men's will be held in Salem, Va., and the women's will take place in Stevens Point, Wisc.

Civil partnership is a statutory creation for a registered partnership for same-sex couples in the UK, who are not allowed to marry. It is not open to opposite-sex couples. Civil partnership is almost identical to marriage and is often called "gay marriage", but instead of opening up marriage to same-sex couples as other countries have done, the UK government spent vast amounts of tax payers' money and of civil servants and parliamentary time to write a parallel law in the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and subsequent secondary legislation. This "separate but equal" approach does of course still stigmatise same-sex couples. The Civil Partnership Act 2004 came into force on 5 December 2005 and many couples have registered since.
Civil partnership is purely defined through its registration process and does not (as marriage does) come with vows to commit for life, although many couples choose to say some similar words before they register as part of the ceremony.
Nor is there a duty to cohabit or a duty to have sex, both of which are at least implied in marriage. Since there is no definition of what the quality of the relationship of civil partners entails, the words "living as if they were civil partners", which is used in English legislation in many places to describe cohabiting same-sex couples is pretty meaningless.
This page has free information about:
Registration is very similar to getting married in England, with the following main differences:
For details of how to register, please contact your local register office, which is part of your local council. You do not need to register where you live and you can also register in Scotland.
One main issue is that civil partnership is not called marriage, so that gay men and lesbians are immediately recognisable on paper. Although most forms have one tick box for "married/civil partner", there is no law that demands this and so same-sex couples can easily be identified. Initially the Home Office even planned to stamp "to join civil partner" into passports of foreigners who had been given a visa on the basis of their civil partnership, which would have meant they could not have travelled to countries where homosexuality is still illegal or where there is persecution or discrimination, which may include their home country. Fortunately, that was not implemented. Alternative Family Law does not deal with immigration matters and we recommend you contact Barry O'Leary at Wesley Gryk Solicitors (020 74016887; email@example.com).
State final-salary pension schemes will only pay out survivor's benefits for years of service after 1988, although widow's pensions in most schemes and widower's pensions in some are based on years of services starting from earlier dates. Private occupational schemes only need to use years of service after the civil partnership came into force for survivorship benefits, although most use all years of service. The UK basic state pension is complicated and the benefits are not entirely equal for civil partners as compared to married couples.
On the international level there are countries with same-sex marriage, those with partnership registration forms identical or very similar to marriage, with lesser rights, or in most countries, none at all. Even if there is no domestic right to same-sex marriage, some countries, e.g. Israel and France, still recognise marriage from other countries. Bi-national couples, those moving abroad or any couple having any legal connection with another country could be disadvantaged by the fact that they are civil partners and not married couples. For example while France recognises Dutch same-sex marriage, they do not recognise civil partnership although they have a registration scheme for same-sex and unmarried opposite sex-couples there themselves. This means that the surviving partner of an English couple who have a house in France may have to pay very high death duties on the house when their civil partner dies. This apparently was the situation Fernando Soares found himself in. Apparently France is going to change this law.
The rights arising out of civil partnership are not backdated. Couples who may have been together for years before 2005 could not register, some may have been bereaved then or have to struggle without a survivor's pension, which they should have received if marriage had been available to them. This is illustrated in a case about the calculation of child maintenance by the child support agency that came to the House of Lords after the Civil Partnership Act 2004, but concerned the time before then. The lesbian woman in that case did not get the same rights she would have had if she had been in an opposite-sex relationship (Secretary of State for Work and Pensions v M [2006] UKHL 11).

I love doing string blocks! It is very freeing. Fabric foundation is nice to do as long as you can find something that won't shrink up under the iron (some broadcloths do this and it can distort your block). Paper foundations are fun too - I use coffee filters that I iron flat and trim to 6" square. Just becomes a pain to pull the paper out when you're ready to start piecing blocks together.
A Christmas swap would be fun! I have a bucket full of Christmas fabric strings for a future string quilt.

I agree with hulamoon. Maybe in the spring with happy colors????
I have a terrific old quilting book from the 70's packed with groovy groovy stuff, but one or two projects I'd love to make. One of them is the spiderweb string quilt, I'm pretty sure it's on a fabric foundation.
Just a tip for using fabric foundations guys, cut your foundations oversize and before marking them, give them a really thorough pressing with a hot steam iron...gets all possible shrinkage out if the way first. I don't prewash fabrics (only flannel) but always foundations.even paper can distort the first time it's ironed and goes a little crispy, preiron it too (no steam tho )
Cheers Pami (who is supposed to be driving lol)
Is anyone still up for this?
