My name's Rose Elizabeth, and I hate it because the first name means "a rose flower", nothing more, and it sounds like I'm stuck in the past. My parents were hipsters when they had me and liked old-fashioned names.
I hate my middle name just as much, because it sounds ugly. The Liz and Beth parts are the worst.Boys: Leo * Edward * Alasdair * Ian * Malcolm

My first name (Zena) my dad gave me upon finding the same name in his extended family tree a few days before I was born: prior to that, I was to be named Alata: a botanical name; both parents very interested in horticulture. Sure, I used to get 'warrior princess' comments a lot, more often when I was younger, and while it did get to me as a kid quite a bit, I really don't mind the association at all nowadays, infact, I love it: who wouldn't want to be associated with Xena, the kick-ass warrior-woman? My middle name (Joy) was given to me, again by my father, after his sister Joyce, who died years before I was born, and therefore I never got to meet, however, Dad always used to tell me I was very much like her.
I love my names, and wouldn't change them for the world.☼

My first name was supposed to be Amanda, but my parents couldn't think of a middle name they liked with it. My sister (who was 8 at the time) suggested Jennifer, so I became Jennifer Amanda. I don't hate it, don't love it. It's kind of a plain name. Though I do like my middle name, because I've only met one other person with the same middle! Everyone that sees my initials thinks I'm Jennifer Ann, but Ann is my sister's middle name :-)
My name if I were a boy probably would have been Christopher Michael. They didn't have boy names picked out but that was a name my mom liked.Top 10 girl's names: Serena * Audrey * Sienna * Bridget * Lucy * Hazel * Cordelia * Josephine * Claire * Alice

I don't like mine for numerous reasons: People always mispronounce, misspell, forget it, call me by something else, etc. It starts with mal- which is bad in numerous languages. Also sounds downmarket to me and there's a very bad word in Greek that sounds nearly identical. lol
I'm just over it, never really liked it.
I do like the meaning though, "Queen".
All of my names have positive meanings "Queen", "Beautiful", "Crown of Laurels", "Hillock" and "God is Gracious". Well, Hillock is neutral, but still!
My mom picked it because she was looking for names that would suit and Aries girl, and that made the list, also it's the only one my parents both agreed on.
First middle name is my father's number one pick, and second one is a family name, my great-aunt's.
My mother's forgotten all the other names she'd thought of for me except for Dahlia. She doesn't know how she would've spelled it, because she heard it in church and liked it, but yeah. I would've rathered being a Dahlia, but I don't like the Dal=dull sound in it.Nathaniel . Eden | Alessandra . Noel

Funny, my Mom and I were just talking about this! I was going to be an Elizabeth Joy, which is okay, but I don't see myself as an Elizabeth. Mom said she saw my name in a book, and changed the spelling a little bit. I love my middle name, a great smoosh of two family names. My sister was going to be Emily Elizabeth, but my parents changed it to honor my aunt.Name-obsessed WriterCurrent FavesAcacia, Eleanor, Margaret, Guinevere, Myna, Lydia, Mira, Odessa, Ciara, GwendolynAlexander,Cassius, Nicholas, Sebastian, Cyrus, August, Caspian, Eramus, Benedict, Milton

HARRISON, N.J. – Fabián Espíndola was nowhere to be found when media members made their way into the New York Red Bulls locker room following the club's 2-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Sunday.
It didn't matter. His presence had already been felt.
Espíndola enjoyed one of his finest performances in a Red Bulls uniform on Sunday afternoon, harassing Dynamo defenders without end while also breaking a two-month scoring drought that appeared to be weighing heavily on him.
It was the type of game Espíndola needed to bolster his confidence after eight straight league matches without finding the back of the net. It was also good enough to earn him the Man of the Match honors from the announced crowd of more than 25,000 supporters at Red Bull Arena.
"Espíndola is someone that I think very highly of," Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke told reporters during his postgame press conference. "I always have, when he played in Salt Lake, and that's the reason why I'm happy he is here. It's a different way we play with a player like Thierry [Henry], who is very creative and likes to move all over, and Espíndola has found it tough to play in this system.
"He never gave up and I had a feeling about him today to put him up there. I simplified things. I told him I wanted him in between the two [center backs] for the bulk of the game with Thierry dropping and creating a little bit, and you saw the first five minutes, he had three balls come to him and he played simple one-touch layoff, two-touch layoff and spun and that was a big spearhead of our chances that we had. … Today I felt Fabián would get the job done and he did."
Petke was not the only one convinced that Espíndola was ready to end a scoring slump that dated back to April 20. Designated Player Tim Cahill believed the Argentine forward would net against Houston, so much so that he told both Petke and Espíndola that the day before the game.
"He's a really important player that does so much work and doesn't get the plaudits for it," said Cahill. "He's a great footballer, he's a player that every team needs because he does that extra bit of hard work, takes the pressure off the midfield, and you need the players to work for the team. When he gets his goal today, it's the icing on the cake."
Espíndola snapped his drought in the 60th minute of Sunday's victory, scoring the winner in the match by making a well-timed run that Eric Alexander picked out with a great pass before curling a low shot past Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall.
The veteran striker showed little emotion and barely celebrated the goal afterwards, but most of his teammates came over to rejoice with him. They did not just do so because Espíndola had ended their frustrations against a stingy Dynamo defense, but also because they wanted to congratulate him for finally receiving his reward.
"What was missing for Fabián was the goal," said Henry. "Today he played well, but he scored and as you know obviously because he scored everybody is going to be happy now. But his game is the same, he runs a lot, he helps me a lot up front when we play together and I'm happy for hi

A woman on a plastic surgery message board that I frequent said that her surgeon scraped her natural breast tissue before inserting her implants to decrease her risk of developing breast cancer in the future. I'd never heard of such a thing, is this practiced common?
Scraping Breast Tissue Before Augmentation Normal?
Doctor Answers 13
Removing of breast tissue,subcutaneous mastectomy
Subcutaneous mastectomy, or removal of breast tissue is not done that often now to prevent breast cancer in the future for clinical studies showed that this did not significantly reduce the incidence of breast cancer. Unfortunately, it did cause a lot of problems with healig and distortion of the breasts, especially if most breast tissue was removed. However, if there is a very strong chance of breast cancer, then this may still be an option. Breast implants can then be placed or other reconstruction done but the results are usually not as good as if just breast implants were used. Watch my videos.

Fibrocystic disease
I have had two patients who have previously had subcutaneous mastectomies (possibly misinterpreted as "scraping") for fibrocystic breast disease and had implants placed. Not performed any longer as far as I know. It is certainly odd to be told this by any plastic surgeon.
Augmentation and additional procedures
Interesting question. I am not aware of this technique. There are no additional maneuvers such as scraping the breast that may prevent the incidence of future breast cancer. Statistically, one in nine women will be confronted with breast cancer. Family history is an important contributor to one's risk of future cancer. Other modifiable risk factors include smoking, obesity, radiation exposure, and others. Hormone useage such as hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptive use has some influence on breast cancer. The above procedure that you mentioned does not sound like legitimate practice, but it may have been taken out of context.
Hope this helps!

"Scraping" breast tissue not common.
There is no procedure that I'm familiar with which involves scraping of a breast to reduce cancer risk. Most likely this was a misinterpretation of what this women had done (not uncommon at all!).

Scraping Breast Tissue Before Augmentation Normal?
NO! Never have heard of this "technique" in order to prevent breast cancer . Best if you can find thae surgeon who does this and speak personally to him/her. From MIAMI , please let us know if you find out something.
Never heard of "scraping" breast tissue
I don't know what this technique could be. There is no surgical way to decrease the risk of breast cancer when placing implants for breast augmentation.
Scraping before Breast Implants
Hi pfsvp,
I have never heard of this...and have not seen in on message-boards, articles, or any other medium.
Most likely, this is a version of the game of "telephone," where one person says something and passes it around the circle. By the time it gets to the first person again, it's been completely mangled.
In this case, it may refer to removing existing scar tissue (capsular contracture) in an attempt to improve the result.
What it actually comes from, though, is pure speculation.
I hope that this helps, and good luck,
Dr. E
Scraping breast tissue is not a step in breast augmentation
Hard to say what you heard on the message board, though there is no such thing as scraping breast tissue to reduce breast cancer risk in those who have breast implants. Some women have a high breast cancer risk by family and genetic history, and for those individuals mastectomy, sometimes sparing the nipple, does reduce breast cancer risk. The breast tissue is replaced with an implant.
Best of luck,

Internet Message Boards and Plastic Surgery Misinformation
Thank you for your question. The importance of your specific topic is that so much of what is said on message boards and surgical forums are patients with limited information repeating what they hear as absolute truth. This helps to muddy the waters for many prospective patients thinking what they hear in these arenas is the latest and greatest surgical procedure or cure. The Internet is filled with immense volumes of information and is a very useful tool, but there is significant portion of surgical forums where patients propagate partial truths. Anything that sounds too good to be true or the next magic cure is likely another bottle of snake oil.
Take your questions to your board certified surgeon and get the truth from a licensed professional.
Best of luck

Rotana embarrasses Ryan with the press
Sources have revealed that Lebanese singer Ryan and his business manager George Haddad were extremely embarrassed when the production company "Rotana", which produces Ryan's albums, when the company prohibited the entrance of the press to cover the behind the scenes of his latest music video.
George Haddad had sent an invitation to the press to cover the filming of the clip, and was outraged when representatives from Rotana did not allow anyone who is not part of the working crew to enter the filming location.
George had to inform the press that they were not allowed to enter and apologized to them, but they were extremely angered with the treatment they had received.
In the clip, a Tunisian model had participated alongside Ryan. Rumors have it that Ryan's constant visits to Tunisia have something to do with the same model and that there may be a secret relationship between the two.
Rumors also claim that Ryan may have invited the press to cover the behind the scenes of his clip, despite him knowing that Rotana prohibits any media source to be present during the filming of any music video by any of its members, in order to introduce the model to the world and open the doors of fame for her.
It is known that Rotana does not allow any form of press during the filming of any clip by its members, and only distributes the behind the scenes footage when it sees fit on its music channel only to ensure exclusivity. In addition to publishing photos of behind the scenes for the first time on "Rotana" magazine, to always be ahead of any other media source.

The Malik Report
Red Wings overnight report: Nick's job opportunities, draft/trade targets and audio of me blabbing
by George Malik on 06/04/12 at 07:03 AM ET
Comments (5)
After an incredibly busy and emotional week and weekend for Red Wings fans, punctuated by the recently-retired Nicklas Lidstrom being feted by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Friday night and then taking out a full-page ad in the Detroit Free Press's Sunday edition, we spent some time talking about the Wings brass's organizational meetings, the team's draft strategy, and, mostly, remembering Lidstrom while preparing for life without him.
As I've said over the past couple weeks, however, barring the probable announcement of Tomas Holmstrom's retirement, the time between now and the Entry Dra…I mean the Draft on June 22nd and 23rd is going to result in a sort of "feast or famine" news cycle, and I'm in the latter category this morning.
I'm certain that later today and tomorrow, we're going to hear Ken Holland, Jim Nill and other Wings officials (around this time of year, Jimmy Devellano almost inevitably appears on Roger Lajoie's late night show on The Fan 590, dropping hints about the team's plans) to discuss the conclusions they've made at their organizational powwow, at least in general terms—aside from perhaps Holmstrom's status and the team's final decisions regarding Jiri Hudler, Brad Stuart, Joey MacDonald and perhaps the shape of their negotiations with restricted free agents Justin Abdelkader, Darren Helm and Kyle Quincey—we're definitely going to hear some of the players who have remained in the Metro Detroit area chat with the press before they head to their off-season locales, and I get the feeling that Lidstrom won't exactly be allowed to sneak home to Sweden…
But today's biggest news involves the fact that the Free Press's Helene St. James will get into the sort of player name specifics the Wings' brass can't regarding the team's free agency plans, and will probably share some Lidstrom stories during a live chat this morning at 11 AM EDT (the link goes to said chat)...
And I suppose we should be less than stunned that, as Ken Holland attempts to convince Lidstrom to take some sort of job as a player ambassador and perhaps both a mentor and part-time scout, Aftonbladet's Oskar Magnusson reports that the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation plans on recruiting Lidstrom to help the Tre Kronor (I never translate that, so, for the record, it means Three Crowns) lobby players to play for Sweden's national team:
Federation: We will contact "Lidas"
Job opportunities for the World Championship at home: "We need our stars"
Ice Hockey Sweden will give Nicklas Lidstrom a call about taking a role at home
It might become reality for the World Championship next year.
"We'll contact Nicklas," says Hockey Federation chairman Christer Englund.
Last Thursday, Nicklas Lidstrom, 42, ended a 24-year-long elite career which made him one of Swedish hockey's most accomplished NHL players.
There have been calls to give the Red Wings legend a role with Swedish Hockey. Among other things, Sportbladet columnist Calle Johansson of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation said that they should provide a spot for "Lidas."
Now it seems that Johansson will be heard.
"It means a lot"
Sportbladet can reveal that the Federation wants to involve Lidstrom in its efforts regarding next year's World Championship on home soil.
The World Championships will spend their second consecutive year being played in Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm next year, but there will be one difference which places tremendous pressure upon the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation to deliver more than a Quarterfinal loss: this time around, the Semifinals and medal rounds will be held in Stockholm instead of Helsinki.
"Players of Nicklas' caliber mean a lot for Swedish hockey, not just on the ice, but also through their personality. Obviously, we're interested in meeting with Nicklas, given his experience and the leadership skills he has," says Christer Englund.
Final in Stockholm
Before the World Ice Hockey Championships earlier this spring, both Mats Sundin, 41, and Peter Forsberg, 38, were ambassadors for the tournament in Sweden and Finland.
Christer Englund would be more than happy to see Nicklas Lidstrom take a similar role with next year's World Championship finals being settled in Stockholm.
"We want to engage Nicklas in Swedish hockey, and will contact him to [join us]. He will be permitted to land and take a breather before making any decisions, but over the years we've had incredibly positive responses from players who've finished their careers.
"They really want to help out and we're grateful for it. We need our stars"
Otherwise, the Free Press's sports staff chose to recount Lidstrom's weekend itinerary…
On Friday night, Lidstrom was on the field before the Tigers-Yankees game at Comerica Park and received a standing ovation in the second inning when the scoreboard showed him in the Ilitches' suite. He waved to fans.
Later in the evening, he dropped by the Chili Peppers concert at Joe Louis Arena. Drummer Chad Smith, a hockey fan from his days growing up in Bloomfield Hills, had a Wings logo on the back of his red, sleeveless shirt and used plenty of salty language to introduce Lidstrom, who came on stage to a thunderous ovation. Lidstrom told the fans that despite his great memories at The Joe, standing on stage with the Chili Peppers "might top it all."
On Saturday, during Fox's Tigers telecast, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver referenced a Helene St. James story in the Free Press in which Chris Chelios tried to persuade Lidstrom to keep playing. Their banter about Lidstrom's prowess on the ice showed that the baseball guys (and a football guy, too, in Buck's case) also knew their hockey.
On Sunday, Lidstrom and his wife, Annika, delivered this message, in part, through a Wings advertisement in the Free Press: "Before we leave, we wanted to express our gratitude to the wonderful people of metro Detroit for adopting us and making us feel at home for the past 21 years. ... Detroiters—hockey fans or not—are downright decent and respectable people. ... We will always cherish our time spent here and are proud to claim that we are also from Detroit."
And as you know, I'm not one for self-promotion, but Bryan Yates and the gents on NHL On the Ice invited me to take part in their talk show, and I spent over an hour gabbing and blabbing like an idiot.
They were very kind and allowed me to reflect on Lidstrom's career and impact, the Wings' post-Lidstrom plans, their free agency strategies, the aforementioned contract negotiations with Helm, Abdelkader and Quincey, the players who will take leadership roles, the standard to which the Wings will hold their organization and players going forward…
And I also weighed in on the Wings' better prospects, the Winter Classic (and the HBO 24/7 phenomenon) and, quite frankly, the concept that any controversy about alcohol being served at the Big House kind of ignores the fact that it's not like students and alumni attending Michigan football games do so sober—and I've got six years' worth of experience living less than a mile from the stadium, so I can tell you that the "youngsters" are usually on their third or fourth buzz of the weekend by noon on Saturday, but it's actually the alums who are worse.
You can listen to the interview on their Flash player here, and if you're willing to fast forward to the 30-minute mark, you get to listen to about seventy minutes of me rambling and going on for far too long, just like I do here
I can't help the self-disparaging stuff. I'm very confident in my writing abilities thanks to six years of professional experience, really 13 years of spending all my free time following the Wings and an English degree whose vast majority of credits were earned through writing classes, and I'm proud of the work I do here, but having an ego and having an ego about yourself are two different things, and I really don't see myself as anything other than another Wings fan who happens to get paid to pretend to be a professional.
Shifting gears back to more substantive multimedia content, WXYZ's Tom Leyden and Mike Stone talked about Lidstrom at length during "Sunday's With Stoney" on the Sunday Sports Update, and RedWingsFeed offered a link to their conversation in a handy-dandy YouTube format:
In a similar vein, again from RWF, We All Bleed Red on YouTube offers three snippets of Kris Draper's interview on The Fan 590…
The Fan's audio archive did post full interview if you're interested in audio as opposed to video:
This clip, I haven't seen before: We All Bleed Red also posted a one-minute clip of Sportsnet analyst and former Wing Brad May talking about Lidstrom…
TSN's Ray Ferraro gabbed about Nick, too…
And I haven't seen this interview Nick gave to TSN's "That's Hockey" yet…
What's he looking forward to the most in terms of life after hockey, and maybe some personal indulgences? Being with his kids more and giving back to his wife for doing the grunt work in raising their four boys. Surprise!
If we're going to talk about media types with an ego, one Barry Melrose played for both the Red Wings and Maple Leafs before coaching the Adirondack Red Wings (to a Calder Cup championship on a team whose ranks included Sheldon Kennedy, Keith Primeau, Brent Fedyk, Martin Lapointe, Bob Boughner, Mike Sillinger, Johan Garpenlov and even some old-timer named Bruce Boudreau), so DetroitRedWings.com's Zack Crawford talked to Melrose as part of the team's "Dual Citizenship" lead-up to the Winter Classic:
Playing parts of two seasons with Detroit gave Melrose the opportunity to play against many of his old Leafs' teammates. While the on-ice reunions were typically good-natured, Melrose remembers one such encounter with his old team that led to one of the most memorable bench-clearing brawls in the history of the Wings-Leafs rivalry. To make the inter-connectedness between the two teams all the more complicated, it was a collision between Melrose and his cousin, Leafs forward Wendel Clark that prompted the game's aggression.
"One of the great brawls in Toronto-Detroit history, I was a part of," Melrose said. "We were playing Toronto in Toronto and me and Wendel Clark met behind the net. There was a big collision, and after that all hell broke loose. And I'll always remember that because Wendel and I started it."
The game was played in Toronto on January 13, 1986, but the implications extended beyond the game as both Bob Probert and Park received suspensions in the days following the mayhem.
"That's the night that Bob Probert knocked out Bob McGill," Melrose said. "Eddie Mio pounded (Miroslav) Ihnacak. Brad Park got suspended 10 games. That was one of the great brawls of that year."
Despite being part of such a moment, Melrose didn't get to have many other similar moments in Motor City, as his trade to Detroit came late in his career. He played only 35 games – the last he play in the NHL – with the Wings over the course of two seasons. Just as his career was winding down, the Wings' organization was in flux, slowly improving their status under new management and a new leader, Steve Yzerman.
"My last year, I played when Stevie came in," Melrose said. "So I got to play with Stevie a little bit, but you could see them turning the corner. We made the playoffs my last year there."
Because of the time he spent with the Wings' farm club in Adirondack, Melrose was able to easily transition from sitting on the bench to standing behind it.
"Detroit gave me the opportunity to start coaching because when I was down in Adirondack, I got to be an assistant coach there," he said.
Shifting focus to Red Wings prospects, prospects with Red Wings ties and likely future members of the organization, Dick Axelsson and the Tre Kronor will take on Slovenia in the Inline Hockey World Championship quarterfinals on Tuesday, but his trademark inconsistency reared its ugly head on Sunday—after a hat trick and seven-point performance against Great Britain on Saturday, he was held off the scoresheet and perhaps predictably took a ten-minute misconduct for arguing with referees (something he does all too regularly) in a 7-4 loss to the Czech Republic;
• The aforementioned Jim Nill's son, Trevor, spent two or three summer prospect camps skating with the Wings, but Nill refused to draft Trevor on principle, and after four years spent playing for Michigan State University, the Free Press's George Sipple reports that Trevor will try out with his NHL rights-holder (as he hasn't graduated yet), the St. Louis Blues, this fall:
Jim Nill, Trevor's father, said his son plans to attend training camp with the St. Louis Blues. Jim Nill broke into the NHL with the Blues in 1981 and played for five NHL teams, including the Red Wings. He is now the assistant general manager of the Wings. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Trevor Nill was a seventh-round pick (190th overall) by the Blues in the 2007 NHL draft. Nill had six goals and 15 assists in 128 games over four seasons at MSU.
"I'm just happy with the way he's grown as a man," Jim Nill said of his son.
Nill earned the Amo Bessone Award for the third straight season at the team banquet. The award recognizes the Spartan who best embodies hockey and academic achievement in addition to community outreach. Trevor Nill served as president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for the second straight year and also served as the vice president of MSU's chapter of Athletes in Action.
He told his father he wanted to give hockey a chance, in part because he didn't want to have any regrets.
"He's got it all planned out," Jim Nill said. "We talked, and he said, 'I don't want to look back when I'm 35 and say I wish I would have given it a try.' He's going to give it a shot."
• And in terms of potential—if not probable—future prospects, Yahoo Sports' Kelly Friesen asked The Goalie Guild's Justin Goldman to weigh in on this year's crop of draft-eligible goaltenders in Malcolm Subban, Andrei Vasilevski, Oscar Dansk, Brandon Whitney and Matt Murray (links go to their NHL.com draft profiles).
Given that the Wings may part ways with Joey MacDonald and probably won't bring Jordan Pearce back, and that the goaltending pipeline after that consists of someone facing a make-or-break year in Thomas McCollum and the promising Petr Mrazek, you and I ought to familiarize ourselves with NHL.com's rankings of the best North American and European goalies, because there is no doubt in my mind that the Wings will draft at least one and probably two goalies before signing a veteran back-up and veteran AHL'er this summer.
I'm not the type to have a rooting interest in draft picks as that almost always yields disappointment (see: Detroit picking Igor Grigorenko instead of Mike Cammalleri) but if I were to guess who might be around and might be interested with that 49th overall draft pick, Murray, despite his 18th North American goalie's ranking, is the one that intrigues me.
And if I'm going to engage in some sensible rumor-mongering, I do think that it's sensible to suggest that, should the Wings strike out on one or more of Ryan Suter, Dennis Wideman, Matt Carle or Jason Garrison, the Wings may, and I emphasize may here, attempt to make some sort of trade to bolster their defensive corps.
The Ottawa Citizen's Ken Warren gave me pause when he suggested that Sergei Gonchar and his $5.5 million cap hit might be available for nothing more than a draft pick, and while the 38-year-old's fallen off offensively and defensively, he did post 37 points last season, and is two years removed from a 50-point year.
Warren did a nice job assessing the UFA marketplace as well:
The shortlist of defencemen who could fill a top-four spot includes Ryan Suter of the Nashville Predators, Brad Stuart of the Detroit Red Wings, Dennis Wideman of the Washington Capitals, Barret Jackman of the St.Louis Blues, Jason Garrison of the Florida Panthers, Matt Carle of the Philadelphia Flyers, Milan Jurcina of the New York Islanders and Shane O'Brien of the Colorado Avalanche.
Suter is the jewel of the class, scoring seven goals and 39 assists with the Predators last season and teaming up with Shea Weber to deliver the top 1-2 defence punch in the NHL. If Nashville is unsuccessful in re-signing him, all signs point to him going to Detroit as a replacement for the retired Nicklas Lidstrom. Beyond that, there are few guarantees. Speculation is that the well-rounded Stuart wants to play in California.
Once a player hits the open market, it only takes two teams to drive up his value and add years to a new contract. Carle, for instance, could secure $5 million per season on a long-term deal.
Potential unrestricted free-agent defencemen

Ryan Suter Nas 27 79 7 39 46 +15 26:30
Brad Stuart Det 32 81 6 15 21 +16 21:03

Milan Jurcina NYI 28 65 3 8 11 -34 18:46

I don't buy the suggestions that the Wings might go after Jackman—they've already got Quincey and need to replace Lidstrom and at least make an attempt to more meaningfully address the loss of Brian Rafalski's production as Ian White had his ups and downs. As I said on the radio, I do think that we're gonna see Brendan Smith in the lineup (especially if Jakub Kindl is forced out), but he'll probably be a part-timer to start…
Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia's John Boruk also tends to engage in plain old silly speculation, but he tosses off a solid list of puck-moving defensemen who are in the last year of their contracts while wondering how the Flyers might replace Chris Pronger should they not land Suter:
Mark Streit (NYI) – $4.1 million cap hit. After missing the entire 2010-11 season, the 34-year-old Streit struggled through the first half of this past season before finding his game in the final few months. He's a very good power-play point man, an area in which the Flyers desperately need help. Streit scored 16 goals for the Islanders in 2008-09, including 10 on the PP. However, it would be difficult to see Garth Snow trade Streit within the division unless it comes at the deadline.
Ryan Whitney (EDM) – $5 million cap hit. This guy clearly needs out of Edmonton, but more importantly, he needs to prove he's healthy. Whitney has played in only 105 games over the past three seasons dealing with knee and ankle issues. He's still just 29 and has the ability to run an effective power play as he displayed in Pittsburgh when he scored 26 goals in back-to-back seasons.
Lubomir Visnovsky (ANA) – $5.6 million cap hit. He'll be 36 when the upcoming season begins, but he's just a year removed from an 18-goal season in which he provided 31 PP points with the Ducks. He's not as big as Whitney, but moves very well with the puck. With the emergence of Cam Fowler, I can see Visnovsky being expendable at this point in his career.
Alexander Edler (VAN) – $3.25 milion cap hit. This one could be intriguing. Edler completely underwhelmed in Vancouver's first-round loss to the Kings, which included some bad turnovers. The 26-year-old Swede is still young, inexpensive and coming off his first trip to the All-Star Game. Edler finished with 11 goals and 49 points (sixth best among NHL defensemen). Edler has the tools to become an elite defenseman, but will this past season set him back?
I don't see the Ducks trading their best defenseman in Visnovsky or the Canucks asking for anything other than a price that's too high to pay for the Wings in Edler—who is, of course, the player the Wings wanted to pick ahead of Johan Franzen—but Whitney's definitely available.
And finally, I hate to do this, but the Red Wings' summer prospect camp takes place from July 7-14 in Traverse City, and as it takes place during the Cherry Festival, even the prices of an eight or nine-day stay at the old, reliable Howard Johnson are scary as hell. I'm definitely going to need help if I am to attend any part of the camp, and that means asking for donations.
My health's pretty damn good right now, so I don't anticipate any complications, but if something does happen, I'll simply refund your money.
Here's the inevitable Paypal button:
You'll have to use my personal email address, rtxg at yahoo dot com, to donate, and if you want to aid the cause by some other manner or means, I can always start a Kickstarter account (which would allow you to track my progress and pay via Amazon.com accounts), and I don't mind sharing the mailing address of my secret blogging lair via my other email address, georgemalik at kuklaskorner dot com.
If I end up having to humiliate myself on YouTube or sell t-shirts or something, I can do that, too.

Hey George. I just contributed for your great work. I encourage others to do the same. It's not a lot of money unfortunately, but if everyone just contributes a little, then you should get to your goal.
Thank you again for the great work
Posted by gowings from MTL on 06/04/12 at 12:57 PM ET
Well George great article again and near the end I had to laugh. Surely you jest at O'Brien being a top 4 D or even a Wing of any kind. His baggage which is well documented from his Vancouver party days. He belongs in Philly, NY or Toronto for a laugh!
Another goalie that might surprise is "Russian netminder Andrey Makarov is not just another name to be glossed over at this year's draft.", who just happens to play for my hometown Saskatoon Blades WHL. A real work horse and good head!!
Will see, exciting times ahead!

Phew!!! I know you said you were feeling great, I thought maybe too good! LOL
He has many personal problems aside from penalties and shopping for himself at Victoria's Secret

I have had a raise band on my stomach and nodules that have been recently hurting more. I am 6 months post BBL. Should I still be experiencing these issues? How would I get this corrected?
Should I Still Have a Raised Band and Nodules Thoughout my Stomach at 6 Mth After BBL?
Doctor Answers 1
Nodules 6 months after BBL
Nodules and bands in your abdomen 6 months after BBL surgery is not entirely normal. If they are firm and tender, then they probably represent scar tissue. You should speak with your surgeon about this. He or she should be open to your concerns and discuss some sort of solution if there is one. You may benefit from deep massages or a radiofrequency treatment course. I have seen several patients with similar problems after BBL with other surgeon and we have successfully improved them with a course of radiofrequency treatments that break up this deep scar tissue.

|New Lecture Series Highlights Animal Compassion
January 7, 2008
Dr. Stephen H. Webb will give the inaugural address of the Animals and the Kingdom of God Lecture Series, held at 7:30 pm on Friday January 18th, 2008, at the Bytwerk Theater in the DeVos Communication Center at Calvin College.
Annual lectures in this new series will engage questions concerning the just and merciful treatment of animals from a faith perspective.
"We think Stephen Webb is an excellent choice for the inaugural lecture of this series," said Matt Halteman, Calvin philosophy professor and administrator of the interdisciplinary committee that selected the speaker. "He is one of the leading voices for animal compassion in contemporary Christian theology."
Webb, a conservative Christian theologian and professor at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, is the author of On God and Dogs and Good Eating—a volume in the Christian Practice of Everyday Life series from Grand Rapids-based Brazos Press. His lecture is titled "A Christian Case for Compassion for Animals."
"Webb articulates the importance of compassion for animals as a crucial element of God's broader call to care for creation, and that holistic message fits well with our outlook here at Calvin," Halteman said.
That idea was the founding principle of the Animals and the Kingdom of God Lecture Series, which was funded by a friend of the college for 10 years to bring concern for animals under the larger tent of creation care that already exists at Calvin.
"Animals are a very important part of creation, but their interests are generally underrepresented in discussions of creation care," said Halteman. "Our donor was interested in the creation care work that's already underway at Calvin College and intrigued that there was already a lot of conversation about animal compassion going on among Calvin students and faculty. The donor's intent for this gift is to support the broader initiatives already going on at Calvin by enabling us to bring in high-profile speakers to address the question of how animals fit into the picture."
While he is at Calvin, Webb will also participate in Wake Up Weekend, a yearly Grand Rapids gathering of animal advocacy organizations—Grand Rapids for Animals; VegMichigan; Animals and Society Institute and the Calvin organization Students for Compassionate Living, among them—which is organized by Halteman and Calvin professor of art Adam Wolpa.
Wake Up Weekend, billed as a "two-day celebration of animal compassion, advocacy and education in Michigan and beyond," will feature sessions on animal advocacy, an art auction, a vegan chili cook-off and a vegan potluck. "The weekend features vegan food since that's the easiest way to insure that all participants can eat freely at events where omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans are working side by side," Halteman explained. "Everyone is welcome."
The participating organizations, he emphasized, advocate a variety of perspectives on animal advocacy. "Wake Up Weekend is an intentionally ecumenical event," Halteman said. "The organizations represented are groups that seek to engage the mainstream public. These aren't fringe organizations. The desire is to engage and educate the broader community."
While Wake Up Weekend is not a Calvin-sponsored event, it does have a strong Calvin connection, Halteman said. "The weekend grew out of courses taught at Calvin, and now we've cultivated relationships with acclaimed regional and national advocacy organizations." The art auction, which will benefit several of these groups, will feature the work of local and national artists and also Calvin art students.
Also for sale will be a special commemorative edition of the booklet Living Toward the Peaceable Kingdom: Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation. The text of the booklet was authored by Halteman for a series published by the new Animals and Religion division of the Humane Society of the United States. The commemorative edition of the booklet is illustrated with 15 collages created by Wolpa.
There's a further Calvin connection involving the vegan chili cook-off, Halteman acknowledged, smiling: "Calvin faculty spouses are going to have to defend their title."

The AP did a lengthy profile of Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry. The part I've highlighted below will almost certainly get the most attention from the rest of the media:
Benghazi has proven an interesting case study. Henry rejects the notion that he works off Fox marching orders in discussing the issue, but said, "I wouldn't lie to you. I see that we're covering Benghazi a lot, and I think that should be something that we're asking about."
He said other news outlets have under-covered the story, since four Americans were killed and there's still some mystery about what the administration knew and when they knew about the attack.
"We've had the proper emphasis," he said. "But I would not be so deluded to say that some of our shows, some of our commentators, have covered it more than it needed to be covered."
It's hard to imagine that Henry didn't understand how this would play out. Namely, that the left-wing media would translate what he said about "some" in the network overplaying Libya turn into a condemnation of Fox News as a whole.
Here's Taegan Goddard's dishonest headline:
Fox News White House correspondent says his network overplayed the Benghazi story
Not that Goddard cares, but Henry said the exact opposite — that the network as a whole "had a proper emphasis."
As far as Henry's actual complaint, that's not something I can comment on, because I don't monitor Fox News. But I was and am grateful they are out there calling attention to Libya. When you consider the noise machine the rest of the media created to snuff out the Libya story, Fox News was a vital counterbalance against all of that.
Maybe within the vacuum of Fox News, at times their coverage of Libya looked like overkill. But within the context of trying to penetrate the truth about Libya though the ObamaMedia, it was exactly what needed and needs to be done.

Bay Area bridge managers on Wednesday proposed raising car tolls from $4 to $5 on six bridges, charge different tolls at different times on the Bay Bridge and end the free ride for carpoolers on all seven state-operated bridges in the region.
To introduce Bay Area motorists to congestion pricing, staff members of the Bay Area Toll Authority recommended raising the toll to $6 on the Bay Bridge during peak commute periods on weekdays, while leaving the toll at $4 during other weekday hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, the Bay Bridge toll would be $5 all day.
The higher toll at busier times is aimed at reducing traffic jams by giving commuters an incentive to travel outside peak use hours — 5 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. on weekdays, said Rod McMillan, the toll authority's director of bridge oversight and operations.
In a toll authority online poll, 60 percent of 783 people said they favor congestion pricing for Bay Bridge tolls.
In the same poll, 63 percent opposed the toll authority staff recommendation to start making carpoolers and motorcyclists pay tolls during rush hour on the seven bridges. The charge would be $2.50, and it would be paid through the FasTrak toll collection system.
Managers at the bridge agency said they believe commuters still will form carpools because they will continue to save time by getting rush-hour access to carpool lanes that get them through toll booths faster.
The toll increases for cars would go into effect July 1 if they are approved Jan. 27 by the toll authority, a panel of county supervisors and city members from the region. Besides the Bay Bridge, the increase would apply to the Richmond-San Rafael, Zampa, Benicia, Antioch, Dumbarton and San Mateo bridges.
Truckers would be hit with steeper toll increases than cars, but the increase for trucks would be postponed for a year, until July 1, 2011.
The toll for a three-axle truck would increase from $6 to $15, and the toll for a five-axle truck would increase from $11.25 to $25.
McMillan said the authority proposed postponing the truck toll increase in response to complaints that many truckers have long-term contracts to haul freight, and cannot easily pass higher tolls on to their customers.
This toll increase is expected to be adequate to cover the cost of building the new east span of the Bay Bridge. Even if the project runs over its $6.3 billion budget, the extra cost probably won't be enough to trigger another toll increase, said Steve Heminger, the toll authority executive director.
The agency needs $160 million more in toll money annually for seismic retrofits on the Antioch and Dumbarton bridges, and to offset higher borrowing costs and declining bridge use and toll collections.

Three-axle truck, from $6 to $15.
Four-axle truck from $8.25 to $20.
Five-axle truck from 11.25 to $25.
Seven-axle truck from $13.50 to $35.

I'm new to the Sitefinity (V8.0) and I'm working on adding some new Content Types using Administration > Module Builder and I have to include a Check box List/Drop down list with validation such that content author should select a option before Publishing the content and I don't see any settings to do so.
Any help is appreciated.
I Found the solution under Advance > DynamicModules > Controls > CustomContentType > Views > CustomBackendInsertView > Sections > MainSection > Fields > Departments (Choice Field) > Validation and make the field "Required" as True and also enter some validation message under "Required Violation message" field. Repeat above steps for CustomBackendEditView as well if required for existing content.
With the solution found above, 50% of my work is completed but I also need to TURN ON "Yes/No" (make the checkbox selected) field value by default. I tried modifying the advance settings as I did for "Choose field" but no help. Here is the xml from the "DynamicModuleConfig.config":

Examining Collective Action among Mieso Agropastoralists of Eastern Ethiopia
An increasing scarcity of water for crop farming and livestock watering among agropastoralists of Mieso in Eastern Ethiopia has largely disrupted their livelihoods. Indigenous water well maintenance and government initiated rainwater harvesting are two important collective actions common among these communities. With the aim of examining collective action institutions in both cases, we collected data from different stakeholders and individual members. Theoretically, low level of physical assets (action resource) limits participation of an individual in collective action. In our case, other factors such as environmental uncertainty and lower level of dependence on the resource have been found to be more significant in limiting membership than limitation of assets. Poor agropastoralists depend on their informal networks to have access to other assets. This enables them to maintain their membership. Moreover, there is a difference between self-organized and imposed collective action in terms of rule enforcement and sanctioning. Institutions also produce different incentives in that free riding leads to automatic exclusion in water harvesting, whereas poor free riding members continue benefiting from the water well. In evaluating the success, we conclude that technical capacity of members in benefiting from their collective action is limited and deserves more attention than their ability to develop effective collective action institutions. Technical capacity development of user groups needs to be central in policy and programs addressing this.

1. The person at the touch screen picks three little pucks with symbols
on them. The symbols might be an eyeball, a house, and a man. They drag
them to the screen where the symbols are sent to a writer at the other
2. A 'writer', sitting at a computer, gets the symbols, translates them
into a sentence and sends the sentence back to the person at the screen.
3. This process of sending symbols, interpreting, and returning,
continues until several lines of a story emerge.
4. What is left is a sequence of symbols and the translation into words,
all recorded and stored on the touch screen and at the interface on the
computer of the writer…
The inspiration for this work stems from a desire to create mobile, interactive experiences that offers viewers multiple means of engagement including audio, visual, textual and tactile cues.]]>
The inspiration for this project came from within. Ever since I came to ITP, I have been finding myself at places other than the present moment, contemplating. I moved to New York four months ago from Istanbul, where I had been living for the past 10 years. Not only did I leave the city that I had a love affair with, I also left my cat, my jazz collection, my books, my friends and my cigarettes, all the while feeling like I am back in elementary school, out of the Corporate World and into this place called ITP, where everything is brand new. There is a saying in Turkish for it actually – \"like a fish out of the water\". With so many changes going on in my life, I have been questioning a lot of my past and future lately, unable to focus on the present. Every now and then I find myself drifting into other places, my past, my future, my fears, insecurities. It is almost as if I have emotional growing pains. I am so out of my comfort zone and I love it, but it\'s tough love.
In between all these thoughts of existence and getting lost came Hurricane Sandy. Sandy was like the sum of all these emotions that had been mounting within me. During the hurricane I recorded all the noise Sandy had to offer. Nature is such a powerful source, you cannot control it. So are some emotions. They just rise up from nowhere. Hit you like a storm and leave you dazzled, grow you a bit, shrink you a bit too. And you start contemplating.
The music of "Where is Your Mind?" was done by Mehmet Aydin. The music plays a huge role in setting the tone of this interactive piece. The sound waves in both of the sketches move according to the music. The words and sentences of questioning that are in the two sketches are added as voice over. The viola plays the disrupted tone of the piece. On top of that is Hurricane Sandy. Blowing hard and harsh, blowing right through your soul, unknowingly hurting you.
The interactive piece, "Where is Your Mind?" tries to depict that feeling of being lost, of questioning everything fundamental and worthy of our selves, of shaking our core and testing its grounds.
The project setup will require one screen to play content (TV show) and a mobile device to run the app.]]>
The idea is to add interactive sound capabilities to a punching bag, making it a more effective tool for relieve frustration, and to enhance the sparring experience.]]>
A teddy bear has a strong positive connotation. It is a toy intended for children and it represents love, care and friendship. A voodoo doll, however, is a tool for harming people we loathe. Combining both concepts, we created our unique Voodoo bear.
He is an interactive teddy bear that, depending on the way you treat it, will either love you back or use social media as a means to hurt you.]]>
* press one of four buttons to make a song selection
* sing the song which is projected on a screen. They can also view themselves onscreen through a webcam. The songs will already be associated to the button.
* the screen will have also show an object, either through facetracker or colour tracking, which will make the interaction more fun eg moustache
* while the person is singing, images will be captured at random times and projected on another screen. This screen will have had the shot of the last person singing. These images can be emailed to them]]>
I believe what I\'ve just described is an idea. For my pomp final, I am building a switch that is hooked up to my oven (which I only use to bake pies). When the switch is turned on, my arduino tweets out a message of \"pie?\" from the arudino to cosm and from cosm to twitter.. NYC Pie, Oh My! (the name of the project) will send out an email alert after the pie is done with a link. The link will activate at a noted time and then a person will click on the link, put in their name and email and the option of a guest. THe idea is that there will be a cap on the amount of people that can sign up so it\'s a competition to sign up the quickest. The following day, the person will get an email of a time and location of where to meet up for pie. However, with each meet up, the size, location and time will vary. One meet up could be in a small studio apartment in Brooklyn, so the cap could be ten people. Another meet up could be in an industrial loft space, so a larger cap would be allowed. The idea is to get random people (i.e. strangers) together and brought together by a love of pies and sugar.
For the winter show, I\'d like to have a laptop set up with the website loaded on the screen. People can enter their emails into the listerve on my website and follow the NYC Pie, Oh My twitter stream. I will build a fake oven with the switch attached. Inside this fake oven will be real pie I will be handing out. The twitter handle will tweet every time I open the oven of \"pie?\" When the project is launched later in January, I will send an email out to the listserve about a meet up with a specific time and place for pie.]]>

It is never a good idea to attempt to run a Ponzi scheme. An insurance agent, and a former insurance agent, from Southern California, just got arrested for allegedly running a million-dollar Ponzi scheme. The men targeted Latino senior citizens as their victims.
Do you know what a Ponzi scheme is? It is what Bernie Madoff got in trouble for running a few years ago. Madoff ripped off several celebrities including Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Zsa Zsa Gabor and her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt, and others.
A Ponzi scheme, according to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, "is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors." The Ponzi scheme organizers try and get new investors by making a promise that they will invest funds into things that will generate high returns. They emphasize that this is a "no risk" situation.
What ends up happening with a Ponzi scheme is that the people running it don't actually make the investments that they promised. Instead, they use the money they get from the people they have tricked on personal expenses. The people who invested money lose everything.
Two men in Southern California have been arrested for allegedly running a Ponzi scheme. They got discovered as the result of a joint investigation with California Department of Insurance and the California Department of Justice. Michael Zuniga is currently an insurance agent. (Administrative action against his insurance license is pending). Edwin Salazar is a former insurance agent (whose license expired in 2009).
The two men allegedly owned and conducted business as the Omega Investment Group. They targeted Latino senior citizens whom they had met and become friends with through their insurance business. The men entered the homes of the senior citizens, and "helped" them to refinance their homes in what they called a "risk free" scheme. They took money from eighteen senior citizens and then used that money on their own, personal, expenses.
The two men have a 57 count complaint against them. The complaint includes violations of the California Corporations Code for Securities Fraud, and violations of the Penal Code including Grand Theft, Elder Abuse, Burglary, and Conspiracy.
Be very careful when someone tries to convince you to give them money as an "investment", especially if they insist that their plan is "risk free". Those of you with relatives who are senior citizens may want to warn them about crimes like this one, so they won't get taken advantage of.

My Take: Out With The Old, In With The New
EP Editorial Staff | January 13, 2011
It's a done deal. A new year is upon us and so are new energy rules. Or had you forgotten? It's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you're like me, you're finding it harder and harder to keep up-to-date on everything you need to know.
For example, in the flurry of end-of-year activities last month, you may have overlooked a particularly important event: On December 19, 2010, the Energy Independence and Security Act ("EISA") that was signed into law back in 2007 quietly became a very important part of your life. If you're an industrial motor user and you didn't take note of that fact, you should—with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly and being able to comply with the new law.
In simple language, EISA expands the previously mandated energy-efficiency standards from the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) for a wider range of industrial motors manufactured for sale in the United States. Specifically, EISA calls for the following:
- A broad range of general-purpose motors must now meet higher energy-efficiency standards.
- EPAct motors must now upgrade to NEMA Premium Efficiency standards.
- Many previously exempt motors must now upgrade to EPAct standards.
Whoa! While you've had several years to prepare (or steel) yourself for these stiffer regs, you might still require significant assistance on the road to full compliance. Not to worry. The Motor Specialist Website (www.TheMotorSpecialist.com) may be one of the best sources you can consult to get the job done.
What operation wouldn't want its very own eminently qualified, expert motor specialist working on its behalf 24/7/365—and at no charge? Now, you have one…right at your fingertips…wherever and whenever you need it. Designed to help you cut through the confusion and find the answers to all your EISA questions, this new Website is powered by the MRO giant Motion Industries, working in partnership with Baldor Electric Company and US Motors. It's fully stocked with all the information, tools and support your organization could possibly need to make the transition from the old days to the bright new EISA reality in which we now find ourselves.
Although no one will hold it against you if you forgot to toast the dawning of EISA in your New Year celebrations, you can't afford to forget www.TheMotorSpecialist.com in 2011. I suggest that you make it one of your "go-to" sites this year—visit it early and often.
In the meantime, Happy New Year to all! Thank you so much for your support over the past 23 years. I'll say it again—and I really like saying it, too—we couldn't have done it without you! MT

I believe it was last week I posted part 1. I can't remember because I've been busy with work and making music. And I will say what I always say but this time I will emphasize it because I will be doing some big names: THIS IS ALL IN MY OPINION
CM Punk when he first debuted in WWECW didnt really have a noticeable gimmick partly because the "masterminds" didnt
I read in the forum about putting Drew McIntyre back in his Chosen one gimmick and I stopped and thought of all the horrible and amazing transitions that either broke the character or helped the character. In this blog I will talk about the ones I can remember. Ones like Mark Henry, Kane, Drew McIntyre and others.
Drew McIntyre
Most people remember this guy "debuting"
Its been a while since I have actually done a blog. But I've been watching some of the younger and mid card talent and couldn't help but to think of some veterans they remind me of. So in this blog I will discuss some of my dream opponents for these mid card talents.
1. Cody Rhodes
I actually thought of three veterans that Cody Rhodes can have a great match with. One of them

The National Wildlife Federation Conservation Hall of Fame was established in 1963 to honor Americans who have made major contributions to the nation's environmental and natural-resource protection efforts. In March, NWF added two new inductees to the list of 23 other people whose legacies were previously honored: Morris King Udall and Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Morris King Udall was not the first U.S. lawmaker to champion the cause of conservation on Capitol Hill. But the lanky Arizona native left a legacy in protecting America's natural heritage that few other members of Congress could ever hope to achieve.
"Mo" Udall, as he was widely known, began to build that legacy not long after he was first elected to Congress in 1961. By 1974, the National Wildlife Federation named him its Legislator of the Year for his determined efforts to safeguard the natural world. But the former college basketball star hungered for an even stronger leadership role in resource protection. His opportunity came in 1977 when Jimmy Carter took control of the White House. Udall was asked to become chair of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. He didn't hesitate to accept. And over the next 14 years, he repeatedly asserted his leadership role on the committee, shepherding through Congress and into the nation's lawbooks a number of key measures.
The first of those measures became law in 1977 shortly after Udall's appointment to the committee: the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, a bill Udall had previously introduced into Congress. Twice vetoed by President Gerald Ford, the measure represented a pioneering effort by lawmakers to make coal companies reclaim scarred land.
Udall's greatest victory came three years later, with the passage of the 1980 Alaska Lands Act, which protected more than 150 million acres of federal land in the state. In one stroke, the act doubled the size of the country's national park system and tripled the size of the wilderness system. It was, recalls NWF President Mark Van Putten, "a monumental moment in American history, and Mo Udall deserves a lot of the credit for it."
Born in 1922 in rural northeastern Arizona, Udall was the grandson of Mormon pioneers who were sent by Brigham Young to colonize the harsh country near the Painted Desert. There, Udall learned a farmer's lesson "that nature had first laws," as he once explained, "and that nature was bountiful and generous if you handled it right."
"His connection to the land started in those years of his youth," says Udall's son, Mark, himself a U.S. representative from Colorado since January 1999. Growing crops in the desert and fishing on family camping trips in Arizona mountain country, young Mo Udall "developed a sense of stewardship," says his son, and "a sense of the West in all its rich environments."
As a youngster, Udall lost an eye after a playground accident. Nevertheless, he went on to become the top scorer on the University of Arizona basketball team and played a season of pro ball.
Udall not only kept his seat in Congress for 15 terms, but was a leader on a broad range of issues. In 1971, he sponsored the first real attempt to clean up financing of campaigns for federal office. But Udall is best remembered as an early, eloquent voice on many environmental problems that are still with us:
In 1985, Udall was selected by NWF as its Conservationist of the Year. He continued battling for the environment until his resignation from Congress in 1991 due to ill health. He died on December 12, 1998, of complications from Parkinson's disease, but many of the landmark measures he championed remain firmly in place today.


text: Hi, The keyboard automatically puts a space after an exclamation point when the next letter is capitalized. Normally, this wouldn't bother me, but I use an exclamation point in some passwords followed by a capital letter and the blank space messes up my log in. Is there any way to turn this off? It also wouldn't be a big deal if I could actually see my password on the screen instead of asterisks. I tried to "show passwords" but it just shows the typed letter for a second. The space is added instantly as an asterisk. I have typed my password in a text message and then copied and pasted it. This works, but it's not so user friendly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

Halle Berry is scheduled to testify in Sacramento, Calif., on Tuesday in favor of state legislation that would limit the ability of paparazzi to photograph the children of celebrities.
The hearing before the Assembly Committee on Public Safety is set for midmorning, although it's not clear exactly when the actress is expected to speak.
Berry, 46, has tangled with paparazzi before. In April, she shouted and cursed at photographers at Los Angeles International Airport, telling them to get away from her young daughter, Nahla, the Los Angeles Times reports. She is currently expecting a son with fiance Olivier Martinez.
The bill by state Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, would change the definition of harassment to include photographing or recording a child without the permission of a legal guardian. The legislation specifically mentions photography that involves "following the child's activities or lying in wait" and targeting a child because of a parent's line of work, according to the LA Times.
It also increases the penalties for people convicted of such behavior. The first conviction would require imprisonment of at least 10 days, up from the current five days.
The goal is also to protect the children of public officials, including judges and law enforcement, said Greg Hayes, a spokesman for the senator.
Opponents, including The Motion Picture Association of America, said it infringes on free speech.
Jim Ewert, general counsel for the California Newspaper Publishers Association, told the Times the bill could criminalize legitimate news gathering.
"It's what journalists do," he said. "They take pictures."
