Professor Arthur Laby might have gone back 80 years in his discussion of fiduciary at TD Ameritrade's Fiduciary Leadership Summit in Palm Beach, Fla., but Don Trone was having none of it.
"I'm going to start with the 4th century B.C. and Aristotle's notion of ethos," Trone began during his portion of the afternoon presentation. "It involves leadership, stewardship and governance. I just described something without naming it. What could it be?"
When Trone, president of the Leadership Center for Investment Stewards, heard fiduciary shouted from the audience, he noted the definition of fiduciary he frequently hears.
"It's often defined as doing what's in the best interest of the client," he explained. "Every time I hear it I do this sort of Popeye face. I think, 'really?' I've never gotten behind that definition because for a true fiduciary, it doesn't have to be talked about; it's just understood."
Referring to his time as a Coast Guard search and rescue pilot, Trone noted he never once had to say he would jeopardize his life to save others; it was just understood.
"Through the eyes of your clients, you have to be viewed as a leader. If you're not, you'll never be able to take them through a financial crisis."
Trone claimed that everything elite advisors are doing evolved from "fiduciary requirements for ethical discernment."
"Three major events occurred as fiduciary was developing," Trone said. "The rise of the personal computer allowed for tools like asset allocation software, reporting features and others. Then there was the rise of no-load products and lastly there were investment advisory custodial platforms. Had the confluence of these events not happened at the same time as fiduciary, we would not have the industry we do today."
Trone didn't disappoint in making frank and controversial statements, something for which the retired military man is known.
"The SEC RFI is a disaster," he said. "You cannot compare suitability and fiduciary. It's like comparing was and peace, which are asymmetrical concepts. I can tell you what war costs, but there is no way to quantify peace. You can calculate suitability, but how do you quantify fiduciary?"
Likewise, he called Dodd-Frank a disaster. Referring to the previous days keynote speaker, former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., Trone said none of the objectives of the law that Frank described would be achieved through more rules and regulations.
"Aristotle noted that rules do not improve the behavior of a society," he said. "More importantly, more rules in modern society promote a dangerous 'checkmark' mentality."

Burnout basically means physical or emotional exhaustion caused by long-term stress.
Children just starting out in sport are unlikely to be affected. If they get seriously involved, it could then become a factor.
The symptoms of burnout can be physical, mental and/or emotional.
Burnout can happen if excessively high expectations are placed on a child by parents or coaches and they are pushed too hard too quickly.
Children who go all out in their sport and neglect other areas of their life, like schoolwork, may also fall foul.
The symptoms can be confusing for parents but being aware of them is important because the severe cases can lead to clinical depression.
What to watch for in your child:
Watch out for the development of these symptoms. And act quickly when you spot them.
Rest and relaxation is the best cure and talking about any problems is also a good way of improving things.
You won't have all the answers but just understanding the problems will be a help.
Don't expect too much from your child. Make sure you know what their aspirations are and try to help them achieve those goals rather than pushing them.
What are these?

Ourense, land of spas
Lobios spa town
Ayuntamiento de Ourense
A Chavasqueira thermal springs in Ourense
We invite you to take pleasure in plunging into miraculous waters that rise in a unique place: Ourense. This Galician land is famous for its spas. There are many spas scattered throughout this province, offering rest in extraordinary environments. The perfect place to spend unforgettable days surrounded by nature. You can't miss it.
Ourense is home to culture, art, history, and of course, water, which is very present in this region of Galicia. In this green and humid environment covered in bracken and fields, liquid is an element of great importance thanks to its rivers, springs, streams, wells and, specially, to its numerous spas.
The thermal centres of Ourense fuse together tradition, modern elements and environmental respect. Some exist since far-off times, like Caldas de Partovía, in O Carballiño, which is the oldest in Galicia -dating from Roman times. Others were established in the 19th century, such as the Gran Balneario de Carballiño -one of the most visited in Spain-, and there are more recent ones, such as Villa Termal de Lobios, which has state-of-the-art facilities.
The choice of spas in Ourense is splendid, although they all feature quality in their mineral-medical waters with curing and preventive benefits, environmental respect, extraordinary infrastructures complying with strict rules and personalized care from high-qualified professionals.
Many of these centres offer accommodation for as long as the treatment lasts, like in Molgas.
In addition to the liquid's medicinal benefits, some spas offer many hydrotherapies as well as other methods, including massages and beauty and anti-stress treatments as you will find in Villa Termal de Laias.
Any season of the year is perfect to come to these havens of peace and to come and enjoy the splendid landscapes of this Galician enclave. Peace and quiet for those who need it, but there is also a wide range of activities, including skiing in the Manzaneda ski resort, trekking, horse or bike riding, or even experiencing strong emotions by canoeing and rafting in summer. You can even sail on a catamaran, in places like Arnoia, which has its own jetty.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Ourense, a province which offers many marvels in the way of monuments, art, festivities and cuisine. Come to this magical place where the water of life rises with more power than ever through springs and spas.

(CNN) - Conan O'Brien and President Barack Obama may have had the political crowd in high spirits at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, but in Alaska, Sarah Palin wasn't laughing.
"Yuk it up media and pols," the former Alaska governor wrote on her Facebook page. "While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke."
On Twitter she was even more barbed.
"That #WHCA was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns throw themselves a #nerdprom," she wrote.
While this year's dinner may have rubbed Palin the wrong way, she's shown a little more love for the annual event in the past. In 2011, she attended an afterparty sponsored by Vanity Fair and Bloomberg News, held at the home of the French ambassador in Washington.
But she's never attended the event, and has long mocked what she calls the "lamestream media" for an overly cozy relationship with the political establishment.
@tess Are you serious?? Do you think this was invented by the Democrats? It is a Washington tradition...lighten up...did you go on a rant about Katrina victims, and soldiers dying in Afghanistan and Iraq when Bsuh was up there laughing his ass off....
@Tess Adams.
Take the tinfoil hat off. Many were on food stamps because they had no other choice after Bush crashed the economy. Do you have any idea how many jobs were lost just prior to President Obama being elected? Would you have those people starve??
I am also sick of people like yourself, who probably don't know one black person personally, yet continue to spew your lies, ignorance and innuendo. Many blacks, just like whites, are very hard workers. Many of us work for very little, and scrape by due to non-equality in the workplace. Take off your tinfoil hat and look around, things are improving. And if you want to see a bunch of proud people on food stamps, look no farther than your local trailer park.
I really wonder sometimes why she even bothers to talk. Im not a democrat, or a republican for that matter, but she just needs to stop talking.
Sounds like someone is jealous to me...... Awwwww Poor Palin..LMAO
Hey guys lighten up on Tess. She is just channeling Sarah. Trances make you say silly things, like "I'm a moon unit."
What's 'pathetic' was the republican party trying their hardest to put this trailer trash in the White House.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Wow, arrogant and ignorant at the same time. Amazing...

Nielsen Australian Millennial Report March 2017Media and Entertainment, Consumer | 15-Mar-2017
SGD (including GST)There has been a significant amount of research into the Millennial generation, who seem to be an enigma for many companies attempting to tap into their increasingly large buying potential. They're a new breed of consumer, who have been labelled as the social media generation, the 'me' generation, the selfish and even the lazy generation.
So just how true are these Millennial stereotypes and labels? This report highlights five of the most common myths associated with this generation and dispels them through insightful data and reasoning, while exploring what makes them unique.
Millennials are becoming a new powerhouse of consumers who are more educated, connected and demanding than their parents. Their lives are in consistent states of transition as they join the workforce, move into new homes and start their own families. They are constantly busy, distracted and alert.
In 2016 this lucrative group was worth 7% of the Australian food and grocery retail market and by 2021 their market share will jump to 17%. This 10 percentage point rise over five years means Millennials will account for retail growth of $6.1 billion, demonstrating their immense future buying power. Tapping into this growth opportunity will rely on companies understanding, engaging and delighting these enigmatic consumers.
Millennials are ready to be a part of the conversation if you're willing to listen./all/nielsen-millennials-report-march-2017

Plane crashes in Winston-Salem on Sunday
Pilot reports engine trouble
A husband and wife were killed after a small plane crashed in Winston-Salem Sunday afternoon.
The plane crashed around 12:50 p.m. in a wooded area near the 900 block of Kearns Avenue near Robinhood Road. The couple's dog also was killed.
Winston-Salem police identified the victims Monday as Dennis Alan O'Neal, 58, and Deborah Dee O'Neal, 56, of Blounts Creek.
O'Neal had worked at the Washington Eye Clinic since 2000, according to NBC affiliate WITN, and the family had three children, according to a biography on the clinic's website.
The Lancair LC42-550FG had departed the Wilkes County Airport around 12:35 p.m. and was heading to Warren Airport in Washington, NTSB officials said.
The plane was at 4,000 feet when a partial loss of engine power was reported, NTSB officials said.
The pilot declared an emergency and requested to land at Smith Reynolds Airport, but the plane crashed about four miles short of the airport, officials said. The plane didn't hit any houses, and nobody was hurt on the ground.
The FAA is handling the investigation.
The weather conditions were bad enough that Smith-Reynolds officials said they were advising pilots to fly under instrument flight rules.

Royals emotional about honoring Robinson
HOUSTON -- You wouldn't have known it just looking at the batting practice jerseys, but by game time, Jackie Robinson's signifier was everywhere in Minute Maid Park.
Hours before the annual celebration of baseball's first African-American player showed up on the back of their jerseys in the form of the No. 42, several Royals reflected on the former Dodger star's impact on the modern game.
"Just to get to wear No. 42 again, for all that he endured, all that he went through, the death threats to him and his family -- you get emotional," said outfielder Justin Maxwell. "To still go out and be one of the best players in the big leagues and endure all those things is incredible. The best word to describe it is a pioneer. He went above and beyond what should be asked of anybody. I wish I had an opportunity to meet him. We always have him to thank for our careers."
Jarrod Dyson wasn't dismissive of Robinson's effect on the acceptance of black ballplayers. Far from it, actually, as Dyson took a wider scope in thinking of the six-time All-Star's impact.
"It's not just what he did for black players," Dyson said. "You see all the Latin guys and guys from Japan in our game. He made it a global game. Anyone can come here and play because of him."
Alex Gordon said he's especially noticed how Jackie Robinson Day's impact has evolved through the years and said there's no better reminder than the number on the back of the jersey.
"It's really special, almost like you can feel that number on your back all game," he said. "You get a reminder of the sacrifices he made that made this game better. Everything about how we approach this day enhances his legacy. I think we do it right."

On Target: How will the supes vote?
A rezoning hearing may sound like a snooze fest, but that won't be the case when Hollymead Town Center appears before the Board of Supervisors on July 16.
At stake for its three developers is whether the neighborhood model precludes big boxes and profit, and whether a cash-strapped VDOT that can't afford to improve highways overrules the County's comprehensive plan designating Route 29 north a growth area.
Opponents call Hollymead Town Center a "dysfunctional project" that doesn't have the transportation infrastructure to support the regional traffic it will attract. They're planning a July 9 demonstration in front of the County Office Building.
But county shoppers just want their damn Target.
It's a matter of property rights to libertarian Emmett Boaz. He doesn't believe the area needs more retail. "But if somebody owns the land, I don't think it's anybody else's business," he says. "They can build the Great Pyramids of Giza."
That Hollymead Town Center is owned by three different developers pushed by the County into an arranged marriage only complicates the process. And the project comes to the Supes with mixed recommendations from the Planning Commission.
Section A - Owned by Wendell Wood's United Land Company, the application to rezone this big section of mostly houses has been indefinitely deferred.
Section B - Also owned by Wood, this commercial section would house the Target and Giant. The Planning Commission split 3-3 in a March vote to rezone this portion, which means it comes to the Board of Supervisors with no recommendation.
Section C - Owned by Virginia Land Company, this parcel is designed for smaller retail combined with residential and office units. "The staff was very pleased with it," says project developer Katurah Roell. But on June 24, the Planning Commission turned thumbs down.
County senior planner Michael Barnes calls the denial a matter of "semantics." He says the commission liked Virginia Land's plans for Section C, but recommended denial based on traffic.
"What they're supposed to be considering is the site plan, not the traffic," says Roell. "They want to feel they got their two cents in on dealing with traffic."
Section D - The Kessler Group, which developed Forest Lakes, earned approval for this primarily residential portion from the Planning Commission, along with a recommendation to work with the other developers on the traffic situation.
So, faced with that mixed bag, how will the supervisors vote? Certainly traffic is the major consideration. And while none of the supes would say how they plan to vote on Hollymead Town Center, the Hook asked what they'll be looking at when they cast their vote.
Chairman Lindsay Dorrier: "Finding the funds to implement major infrastructure– mainly for traffic– is the major task. I believe the County and developers can work together to solve these problems and overcome the objections. And I think these projects are a better use of the land than the by-right uses these owners have."
Vice-chairman Dennis Rooker: "The first inquiry is whether it reasonably meets the comprehensive plan. I'm looking for a package of proffers with improvements by developers that will deal with immediate traffic, as well as long-term with a CDA [community development authority]."
Sally Thomas: "Picture the intersection of 29 and Rio. That would be duplicated at Woodbrook, Hollymead, and Airport Road. One of my goals is not to have people say in 10 or 15 years, why did you let that happen?"
David Bowerman: "Traffic is one of the key factors. I'm hearing from special interest and environmental groups that are opposed. The public is looking for Target. Land use is not based on who's coming. I'm not making a decision based on that."
Walter Perkins: "VDOT has given them a list of things that should be part of the proffers. As long as the applicant does those, there's not much reason we can't approve. There probably is some anti-big box feeling here. From a tax standpoint, Target would be good for the county."
Charles Martin: "Hollymead Town Center is another way of focusing growth. A lot of people are concerned about big boxes, but being middle class, I'm not. I can't shop at boutiques. Most of the people I've talked to are in favor of it. I think it's going to be a close vote: 4-2, one way or another."

Chromecast will get new apps Tuesday, including Plex, RealPlayer Cloud and Vevo, according to a report.
Chrome was rumored to be getting more apps and app support, and it's looking like that's starting to happen, according to GigaOm. On Tuesday, Chromecast gained support for local media playback, podcasts and Facebook photos because of Plex, RealPlayer Cloud, Vevo, Viki and aVia.
It seems that many app makers were interested in Chromecast but few seemed to commit to supporting their creations. And it seems that now Chromecast has more than one option for a personal or local media player -- both Plex, RealPlayer Cloud and aVia. aVia which plays videos, music and photos and storage. However, it's currently on available to subscribers.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Chromecast will also get podcast player BeyondPod, PostTV from the Washington Post, RedbullTV, Vevo, Revision 3, online music service Songza and TV platform Viki.
Adding these services and apps can only make Chromecast stronger, which helps Google and consumers wanting to cut the cable cord.

The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano – the county's trailblazer in hunger relief – is excited to welcome Assemblymember Mariko Yamada to Community Produce Program in Dixon on Wednesday, July 16. Assemblymember Yamada will be volunteering at the site, helping to ensure that each person in need receives fresh fruits and vegetables to take home.
"California is on the mend, but far too many people are still struggling to make ends meet," said Assemblymember Mariko Yamada, Chair of the Assembly Aging and Long Term Care Committee. "Through no fault of their own, working families, students and seniors face skyrocketing food prices because of the drought and the price tag for staying cool in scorching temperatures.
"I wish to thank the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano for providing critical food programs that support the most vulnerable in our communities."
Food insecurity is a daily reality for millions of Californians. Children, the elderly, the disabled, and students are the faces of hunger amidst plenty. The drought and summer bring added challenges to ensuring that our community's nutritional needs are met.
The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano works to end hunger and increase access to nutritious food for low-income individuals and families. The Community Produce Program is just one of the ways that the Food Bank distributes food directly to people in need. Refrigerated trucks have been customized for the exclusive purpose of distributing fresh produce to communities in need. Clients will be able to pick-up an average of 20 pounds of produce, twice per month.
In addition to the strong leadership Assemblymember Yamada provides in the legislature, we are grateful for the hands-on help she is bringing to the people we serve," said Larry Sly, Executive Director of the Food Bank.

What's going on with California's High Speed Rail project?
The system's Chief Executive Officer, Roelof van Ark, announced Thursday he was resigning from his $375,000 a year post after only 18 months on the job. Van Ark expressed optimism about the future of the project just a few weeks ago, telling the Sacramento Bee, "We're on the right path to get there."
Now van Ark is stepping down, telling the project's board members at a Los Angeles meeting that he wants to focus more on his family and other issues.
The Authority's board chairman, Tom Umberg, is also stepping down. and the system's press secretary, Rachel Wall, is also leaving for another public relations job.
Gov. Jerry Brown has shown no sign of second thoughts on the $100 billion dollar project, having appointed two trusted advisors to the board to develop a credible business plan. Brown is convinced that construction jobs and "big thinking" are reasons to move ahead.
The changes appear to be part of a continuing makeover by the governor. Opponents and supporters will be watching closely next week to see what he says about high speed rail during his state of the state address.
At the Capitol, lawmakers are making louder noises about their opposition to approving financing to begin construction on the first leg of the project. Some legislators want to place another measure on the ballot, asking voters if they too are having second thoughts. California voters approved a $10 billion bond in November 2008 to start the process.
The high speed system is initially projected to cost about $50 billion, but the recent business plan doubled that estimate.
Public and political opposition has grown, even as one large public relations firm walked away from the project.
Amid this turmoil, finding a new CEO for the troubled project is going to be a tall task. It's not just a matter of defending the project. It's a matter of stopping the bleeding. Otherwise, this will truly be a train to nowhere.

Wade Boggs, venerable hit machine and moustachioed gadabout, has always seemed to be an odd, shady guy. There was that messy affair with Margo Adams. Then he started popping up in hair plug commercials. Then he inducted WWE's Curt Henning into the Wrestling Hall of Fame last year. His boozing on road trips was other wordly.
Now, he's basically trolling around Tampa, willing to talk to horny ladies like the one seen above while making odd hand gestures.
But this Sunday, he'll be back talking about baseball. On April 13, he'll appear on Baseball Tonight as a guest analyst, part of an ongoing "Hall of Fame" series.
For some reason, Wade just doesn't seem like he'll be up to the task at hand; the years of torment, boozing and horn-dogging have completely zapped him of the ability to articulate anything above twiddling his fingers, answering yes or no questions or belching. (Ed. Note: We know the feeling.)
Hopefully, he'll be wearing that shirt during the broadcast.

When the U.S. firebombing of Kobe leaves siblings Setsuko and Seita orphans, they are forced to fend for themselves amid the chaos of the final days of WWII. They first take shelter with an aunt, but her cold reception and reluctance to help forces them back out on the street. They next set up camp in a cave, relying on fireflies for light. At first their adventure is full of excitement and wonder, but the harsh deprivations of war soon become too real to ignore, culminating in a devastating finale. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel, Roger Ebert considered this delicate and devastating story one of the greatest war films ever made.

Roger Ebert has called this "one of the five best movies" ever made for children. Two sisters move with their father to a new house in the countryside to be closer to their hospitalized mother. They soon discover that the surrounding forest is home to a family of totoros—giant, magical bunny-like creatures who live in a camphor tree and can only be seen by children. Befriending the totoros, the girls embark on a series of adventures, exploring the forest high and low. Beneath the film's playfulness and narrative simplicity lie depths of wisdom—as with much of Hayao Miyazaki's work, at its core this film is about humankind's relationship to the earth.

Arrietty has recently turned 14 and is about four inches tall. She and her parents are members of a mouse-sized race of tiny people who live in the shadows of humans' homes. Living under the floorboards, they remain out of sight, except for the occasional trip to "borrow" a cube of sugar or other necessities. But on her first big trip above the floorboards, Arrietty gets spotted by the homeowners' 12-year-old son Shawn, and while they become quick friends, the delicate balance between the two worlds threatens to come crashing down if they are discovered.

Set in a devastated future world decimated by atmospheric poisons and swarming with gigantic insects, this is the story of a young princess, both brave and innocent, whose love for all living things and passionate determination to understand the processes of nature lead her into terrible danger, sacrifice and eventual triumph. Like most Studio Ghibli films, there is neither good nor evil, but conflicting viewpoints, weaknesses and power struggles. This debut film from Hayao Miyazaki is considered by many to be his masterwork—and there are few films, animated or otherwise, of such sweeping scope and grandeur. (Note courtesy of IFC Center.)

The swan song of animation master Hayao Miyazaki, who has proclaimed this his final feature. This film is a fictionalized biographical portrait of Jiro Horikoshi, a gifted Japanese engineer whose greatest achievement was designing the Zero fighter planes used by Japan to wage war in Asia and the Pacific during World War II—eventually including kamikaze flights. Amid the ruins of a demolished and burning Tokyo, with Japan on the cusp of surrender, the aged Horikoshi looks back over his life and work in flashback and dream sequences. With gentle but devastating irony, Miyazaki depicts how the passion, hard work and ingenuity of an individual can be co-opted and corrupted—whether by individual hubris or the demands of society—resulting in disaster, not unlike the Greek myth of Icarus flying too close to the sun. 2014 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature.

Tow truck driver speaks about fatal accident
Lauderhill Police: Elias Konwufine run over by own vehicle
LAUDERHILL, Fla. – A tow truck driver who ran over a man with his own car talked about what led up to the fatal incident.
Ken, who declined to give Local 10 his last name, was driving when Elias Konwufine was run over by his own car outside the Sienna Green Condos in Lauderhill on Wednesday night.
"It's an accident," said Ken. "I did not mean that to happen, but it did."
Konwufine, 39, died at the hospital two hours after the incident.
Ken provided a picture to Local 10 showing Konwufine's Mercedes parked on the sidewalk. In his email, he wrote, "This therefore discredits statements that he was parked 'legally' on the grass (which parking on grass is not permitted as well)."
Ken said Konwufine, the dean of Keiser University's business school, approached his tow truck screaming when he arrived.
"He's cursing me out, trying to get in the door, broke my handle off the tow truck, running next to the truck, jumped on the floor boards, pulling on my door handle, beating on my window," said Ken.
As he pulled away, Ken said Konwufine jumped down from the truck's running boards and was run over by his own car.
"I didn't know his car went sideways. It's a Mercedes. They usually lock straight, they locked upside down, .so I look in the mirror and I see him on the ground," said Ken.
On Thursday evening, neighbors accused drivers of the tow truck company the homeowner's association contracts of being too aggressive. But Ken said towing is dangerous.
"Everyone you tow away is always irate with you," he said.
A sign on his truck warns people that Ken is armed with a Taser and a cattle prod.
"I'm sorry it happened I'm just -- if he would've stopped yelling, and listened in a reasonable manner, been reasonable, none of this would have happened. Paid and gone on with the rest of his life," said Ken.
Ken said he was involved in a traffic crash about 10 years ago that resulted in a death. He said he's decided he'll only do road-assistance tows.
Ken also said he claims Konwufine's wife and son began assaulting him, "beating me on the back on back of my head and my back." He said he retreated to his truck and grabbed his stun gun, but then thought he would have probably reacted the same way if he were them.
"I'd do the same thing they are doing, so I just put it away," said Ken. "It would have been in the same way if something like that were to happen to me."
Konwufine's neighbor said they don't believe Ken's story.
"You [have] been towing for 15 years. You know people are passionate about their possessions," said neighbor Devin Stewart. "Someone jumps in your truck and you continue to drive away? That's negligence."
Neighbors are calling on the homeowner's association to drop the contract with Ken's company.
Traffic homicide detectives are still investigating and as of yet, no charges have been filed. So far, police have called the incident a tragic accident.

Born Joseph Steven Sakic on July 7, 1969 in Burnaby, British Columbia, Joe was four years old when he decided that he wanted to make hockey a career. By 1986-87, he was playing junior with the Swift Current Broncos and was named rookie of the year after a sensational freshman season that saw him score 60 goals and add 73 assists for 133 points. By the next season, scoring 78 goals and 160 points earned Joe the Western Hockey League's most valuable player award and he was named the Canadian Major Junior Player of the Year.
The Quebec Nordiques relocated to Denver as the Colorado Avalanche beginning with the 1995-96 season. That campaign, Sakic scored 120 points and led the newly-relocated franchise to its first Stanley Cup championship. He was named winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after notching 34 points, including six game-winning goals, in 22 games.
On December 27, 1999, Joe earned an assist against St. Louis to reach 1,000 career points. In 2000-01, he again reached the 100-point mark, finishing with 118 along with a career-best 54 goals. He was awarded the Hart Trophy and the Lester B. Pearson Award as the league's most valuable player as well as the Lady Byng Trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player. More importantly, Sakic again led the Avalanche to a Stanley Cup championship, defeating the New Jersey Devils in the final. An indelible memory is the captain being presented with the Stanley Cup by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, then immediately handing the historic trophy to teammate Ray Bourque, who had waited 22 seasons for the opportunity to hoist the Cup.
After an injury-plagued 2002-03, Sakic finished third in scoring with 87 points in 2003-04. He had another spectacular season in 2006-07, reaching the 100-point plateau for the sixth time in his career. Earlier that season, Joe captained Team Canada's entry at the Olympic Winter Games.
Injuries continued to dog Sakic and in November 2008, after playing just 15 games, Joe was forced to conclude his season. Two days after his 40th birthday, he announced his retirement on July 9, 2009. Through 20 NHL seasons - 7 in Quebec and 13 in Colorado, Sakic scored 625 goals and 1,016 assists for 1,641 points in 1,378 regular season NHL games. He also had 84 goals and 104 assists for 188 points in 172 playoff contests.
While his career in the National Hockey League was spectacular, Sakic's international play was equally sterling. After being drafted by the Nordiques in 1987, he helped Canada win the 1988 World Junior Championship. He was part of Canada's silver medal effort at the World Championships in 1991, and won gold at the same tournament in 1994. Canada finished second at the World Cup of Hockey in 1996, but took gold in 2004. Joe was a member of the gold medal champion Canadian team at the Olympic Winter Games in 2002.
A quiet captain, Joe Sakic let his dedication and skill speak for him, and is remembered as the humble but outstanding leader of the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche franchise.

Every time a nation is sent home from World Cup, the thought is always the same: Now comes four long years of waiting for another chance.
It might make an observer feel a little better for just a moment to get in the time machine and see what their country could bring to the table next time out.
One cycle "dies" and the natural process begins anew with the seed-planting of promise. The player pool can move in many ways, with some set for impressive growth over four years time.
Of course, this exercise is a fool's game - which makes me the right guy to take a stab at projecting the 2014 U.S. squad that will travel to Brazil with hope in full bloom.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I had Chad Barrett and Cory Gibbs on my forward-looking list in 2006, just after watching the U.S. bow out in Germany.
There will be surprises and letdowns, so no such list can be gospel. It can only get us looking ahead to that next chance at a World Cup.
Now that I've properly lowered the expectations for my projected squad, let's get to it. I'll go with the standard form of three goalies, eight defenders, eight midfielders and four forwards, just to keep it simple.
With netminders often not at their best until the mid-30's, Tim Howard could be better than he is now at age 35 in 2014. Even so, he faces a battle with Brad Guzan, who one would gather will have been Aston Villa's starter for a good while by then.
Beyond that it gets tricky. There are no obvious choices. I could go the solid veteran route and pick a guy like the Crew's Will Hesmer or Colorado's Matt Pickens. Or I could hope a younger keeper develops impressively—someone like Celtic hopeful Dominic Cervi or Philly's Chris Seitz.
This unit won't be so easy to call. Let's start in the middle, which should see plenty of changes.
AC Milan's Oguchi Onyewu will be 32 and full of motivation, so we like him to marshal the group. I can see Jonathan Spector used centrally by then and I can see him back in the squad.
Los Angeles youngster Omar Gonzalez seems on track for a place, which leaves me one center back to complete the depth chart.
Clarence Goodson could return, while Gale Agbossoumonde, Chad Marshall, Tim Ream and Zak Whitbread will be in the mix. My choice at this moment, however, is San Jose rookie Ike Opara.
Looking to right back, I like the cut of Aston Villa up-and-comer Eric Lichaj. Competition should come from Hunter Freeman and perhaps half-German Daniel Williams, but I'm counting on Marvell Wynne to raise his game to World Cup roster level over the cycle.
That takes us to left back, the position of constant hand wringing for USMNT fans. Due to his position, Heath Pearce has essentially been the final cut twice in a row now. At age 30, I say he goes next time.
WATCH Heath Pearce's World Cup Testimonial.
Freeman can also compete here with potential returnee Jonathan Bornstein and Michael Orozco, but I'll go for Club América talent Edgar Castillo. He can bring that bit of daring to this position.
This is the group that needs the most growth, and thus is the most wide open. Getting even five right would be a high accomplishment.
The 2010 star duo of Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan will be a shade over 30, but seem fairly safe bets to go to Brazil. Central players Michael Bradley and Maurice Edu seem locks, so half the job is done lickety-split.
I should have enjoyed it more while it lasted because now things get tough. There are easily 20 solid candidates for four spots and new ones will emerge.
I'll start chipping away by taking a flyer on a pair of attackers. I've not given up hope for Freddy Adu, and Alejandro Bedoya has a promising future.
Jermaine Jones will be 33, so it's hard to seriously consider him at this time. We do need another two-way midfielder, and I'd like for Stuart Holden to be a central player for this team. He edges out old Houston teammate Geoff Cameron.
After much deliberation, the final slot goes to Anderlecht's Sacha Kljestan for choosing a great path to Europe. He should finally get to focus on attack and solidify his game.
The midfield is so deep with potential, I've had to leave out the likes of Mikkel Diskerud, Benny Feilhaber, Blair Gavin, Jared Jeffrey, Sebastian Lletget, Zach Loyd, Dax McCarty, Charles Renken, Robbie Rogers, Michael Stephens and José Francisco Torres. I do not envy the 2014 boss' job to sort out this tangle.
The front line is usually the biggest four-year crapshoot. Look at this year's team. Who would have tabbed Edson Buddle or Robbie Findley back in 2006?
Nevertheless, half the U.S. strike stable should be the same two names we all had at the top of the 2010 depth chart last summer: Jozy Altidore and Charlie Davies.
With them offering the speed/strength combo, the other picks are flexible.
Target man Marcus Tracy's injury woes make him a risky choice, so my eye turns to FC Dallas youngster Brek Shea. He's versatile enough to play late knockdown artist or work the wing, and he should have some European experience by 2014.
Robbie Findley will be 29 and Eddie Johnson 30, so their games could get smarter or just slower. The likes of Kenny Cooper, Mike Grella, Stefan Jerome and Chris Pontius could get looks, and there will be new flavors during the cycle.
I'm going to give this nod to hard-working prospect Tony Taylor. His work rate, style and versatility should come in handy.

75 kopeks. The cost of that stamp on an alegata. In case, you cannot read Cyrillic or do not recognize it on the cancellation mark of the stamp — it says:
11/24 January 1907
This stamp appeared on an alegata document, describing my paternal grandparents, Jozef Elijasz & Waleryja Leszczynska. You can see from the civil and church records of theirs, that this is their marriage date.
So now I have three Polish authoritative sources for their marriage (date/place).
I found this alegata a bit fascinating. First it had the stamp. Second it listed my grandfather & his parents, but only my grandmother (without her parents — fortunately, the other two records listed those parents). Third and most puzzling is the marriage bann dates:
13th, 20th, 27th January [of 1907 implied]. But wait a minute, the date of the alegata is 11/24 January, 1907. That is three days before their marriage date. So this "official document" had listed a future date [of the marriage], I guess giving them permission to marry in the church assuming the 3rd bann was a foregone conclusion. The future date so messed with my mind and comprehension of Russian/Cyrillic that I had to check and recheck the three documents to assure myself I was reading it correctly and that they had used a future date in the alegata!
Oh, the 11/24 January 1907 thing? That is just the custom of "dual dating". The earlier date is the Julian date: 11-January-1907, as the Russian calendar was still using the Julian calendar. While the 24-January-1907 is the Gregorian calendar that we use today. Of course you can find liturgical calendars (Russian Orthodox for example) that still use the Julian Calendar for their religious events (i.e. EASTER). Why is it 13 days difference? They were in the 20th century and another day difference between the two calendars, as compared to the majority of the church records (1868-1900 during when the Russian language was the defacto language of administration records) in the Russian partition which were 12 days apart.

The British Government is about to push through a law that requires a minimum price of 40p per unit of alcohol to try and stop binge drinking — but one expert argues that taxing sin has done little to curb it in the past.
Top image: Ewan M. on Flickr.
Cambridge University's Dr Philip Withington is the man behind a series of publications titled Intoxication in Historical and Cultural Perspective, and he believes that taxing intoxication doesn't keep people from over-indulging. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Withington argues, intoxication was a habit more of affluence than poverty, saying "if alcohol consumption is traditionally an index of affluence, then minimum pricing will not do much to the consumption of affluent groups: rather it affects the less affluent."
That said, it's possible that alcohol comsumption is more egalitarian now than it was in the 17th century, so it's possible that taxes could be more effective. Or that we've learned more in the past few centuries about how to use sin taxes to control socially damaging behaviors.
For example, there's a much more recent counter-example, which Withington doesn't consider — recent attempts to curb smoking through price boosts and high taxes. Cigarettes are now incredibly expensive, and it's one of the factors linked to the decline of the habit. Or could that change be instead ascribed to other factors, like shifting societal views and decreased advertising?

Today, I feel like talking about Beowulf.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Beowulf is that it is essentially a pagan heroic epic, yet it was written by a Christian for a Christian audience. Naturally, there is an unmistakable contrast between the pagan themes inherent in the story and the Christian themes that are worked into the grain by the poet. The theme of wealth, in particular, is one which both Beowulf and other Christian theological texts of the time period speak frequently about.
Christianity, by its very nature, focuses attention on the afterlife. What we do on earth is important insomuch as it pleases God, works His will, and prepares our souls for Heaven. Especially in medieval Christianity, the presence of wealth was often seen as a distraction from spiritual things and a promoter of greed. The monastic orders forsook all but the basic necessities of life in order to focus their minds and hearts on God, and the Protestant Reformers would later note how the luxuries of the papacy had perverted the office to something that was spiritual only in name. Material wealth is of little use, said the Christians, for it cannot accompany you after death and is troublesome in life. As Boethius pointed out,
"Money has no inherent property such as to stop it being taken away from those who possess it, against their will."
The poet of Beowulf might consider Boethius' statement a point well taken, as the poem is filled with battles in which the loser's treasures invariably go to the one who defeated him. Prowess in war is the most prized virtue, and it is assumed that the stronger man has earned the right to take whatever his strength allows him if the battle was justified for any reason. Yet wealth serves another, vastly more important role in the society and Beowulf – it enables generosity. Noble kings and thanes are often called ring-givers, because aside from valor in war, their honor and reputation is built on the hospitality they show to others and the ways they reward their loyal followers. When Beowulf saves the hall of Heorot from Grendel, King Hrothgar not only lets him loot Grendel's lair, but also heaps numerous other treasures on him and his soldiers to show the magnitude of his thankfulness and the greatness of his soul. The poet remarks consistently how this giving of gifts marks the greatness of Hrothgar's honor. Beowulf then proceeds to reward his faithful followers with more gifts, not even neglecting the man who stayed on the coastline to watch their ship the whole time and was not present at any of the fights. And when he arrives home in Geatland, Beowulf shows his appreciation to his king at home by giving him some of the treasure as well. By such generosity, as well as fighting prowess, are men considered great in this world.
Wealth is seen as something to be used, not hoarded, and, I think, as a sort of vindication that the battle was worth it after all. If the victor does not reward those who have helped him, he will reveal his arrogance and end up with enemies. Those who do hoard wealth in this world inevitably lose it – in a curious affirmation of Beothius' rule. Grendel and Grendel's mother have apparently raided and looted human settlements for centuries, and they lose all to Beowulf. The dragon, too, has a hoard of treasure that does not belong to him, and so he too loses it to Beowulf.
Yet neither can Beowulf keep his winnings in the afterlife. Dying from the dragon's wound, he commands his servant Wiglaf to find the monster's treasure hoard for him, saying, "My going will be easier for having seen the treasure, a less troubled letting-go of the life and lordship I have long maintained" (Heaney, 185). Why? Not for himself, but for his people. His wealth is only good so long as it strengthens the people of his kingdom, and the hero recognizes that it is to his honor to leave his loved ones better off after his passing.

|Zeatin biosynthesis - Reference pathway
|Zeatin is a member of the cytokinin family, a class of phytohormones involved in various processes of growth and development in plants. Most abundant cytokinins are adenine-type, where the N6 position of adenine is substituted with an isoprenoid, such as in zeatin, or an aromatic side chain, such as in kinetin. Zeatin can be synthesized in two different pathways: the tRNA pathway and the AMP pathway. In the tRNA pathway zeatin is a recycled product of isopentenylated tRNAs. In the AMP pathway zeatin is synthesized from an isopentenyl donor, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), and AMP, ADP, or ATP by isopentenyltransferases. After synthesis cytokinins can be glucosylated.

Tasty but following the instructions to a T might help you get your recommended water intake for the day. I like spicy foods, but i'd 1/2 the cayenne pepper if you are not a fan of too much heat. I slugged down about 20 oz of ice water after eating this. Yummy but hot!
May 3, 2016
Since I don't like a lot of salt I used just 1 tsp of salt, the same for the pepper and cut the cayenne pepper to 1/2 tbsp. I made striped bass (rock fish), it took a bit longer but was really good. My husband loved it. I'm keeping this recipe
Feb 21, 2016
Terrible! Ruined some perfectly good halibut. Way to much salt and cyan, even after I decreased the ammounts by a third.
Oct 14, 2013
I was excited to see an approachable blackened recipe. It was really yummy and flavorful. However, we had one piece that was WAY too salty. Next time I will use half of the salt and possibly add it at the end instead of to the bag.
Aug 28, 2013
This recipe was great! I love recipes with a kick and this recipe definitely had that. I used a non stick skillet and substituted Tilapia for Halibut because that is what we had at home. We used the blackened fish in tacos and topped with a sweet spicy slaw. It was delicious! We will be making this again soon. It is a great summer recipe!
Apr 5, 2013
This recipe is fantastic! I also used a non stick skillet and it turned out great. I served a green salsa and avocado over the top and it was delicious!
Sep 21, 2012
I was skeptical at first, but it was perfectly salty-seasony & delicious. I don't have a cast-iron skillet--just used a large nonstick--and it took a lot longer for our pieces of halibut to cook; I've got to keep that in mind for next time so as not to overdo the black.
Jun 21, 2012
This was very, very tasty and I would make it again. Made a dill sauce condiment to serve on the side which really complimented the heat in this recipe. Easy and not time consuming.

Loved this! The rub is awesome,yummm..!!

One moment Matilda was just listening to the chatter amongst the other vampires and another her vision began to glitch. The lights around her began to blink like static. She shook her head frantically and it seemed to have subsided. A portion of the lights immediately broke away and beckoned her to follow them in the opposite direction of where the group stayed. She glanced once at Athenadora, Demetri, Jane, Alec and the new girl before she ventured to follow them.
(I'm just going to have it so that girl who controls people's thoughts put some kind of thing in Matilda's mind so that she saw the lights moving when they weren't.)

Nintendo brings 'Tomodachi' game to US, Europe
Nintendo is bringing its "Tomodachi" game for the portable 3DS system to the U.S. and Europe following its success in Japan.
Called "Tomodachi Life," the game geared mostly toward kids is similar to "The Sims" and Nintendo's "Animal Crossing." Tomodachi means "friends" in Japanese. The game features Mii characters, which can be created by players from scratch or based on a photo of the player. The characters live on their own island, where they eat, sleep, ask each other out and perform rap battles, among other activities.
It's a challenging time for Nintendo, which has seen declining sales for its Wii consoles and its 3DS as more people shift to smartphones and tablets to play games.
"Tomodachi Life" goes on sale on June 6 in the U.S. for $35.

Marijuana Reform Comes To The Mountain State
By Matt Simon, Marijuana Policy Project
I've been organizing and advocating for marijuana policy reform in New Hampshire since 2007, and some of the successes have been very gratifying. After two near-victories on the medical marijuana issue (the governor vetoed bills in both 2009 and 2012), it now appears very likely that New Hampshire will pass an effective medical marijuana law in 2013.
However, I have often wished I could do something to help seriously ill patients in my home state of West Virginia. Sadly, medical marijuana legislation hasn't been seriously considered in the Mountain State, despite the best efforts of Delegate Mike Manypenny (D-Taylor), who introduced bills in both 2011 and 2012.
The situation in West Virginia changed dramatically for the better this week, as Delegate Manypenny hosted a successful public forum Tuesday in the House of Delegates chamber. The forum was called "Should West Virginia Reform its Marijuana Laws?" and generated positive media coverage, including this article in the Charleston Gazette.
Featured speakers included an emergency room physician, the president-elect of the West Virginia Nurses' Association, and a retired police lieutenant and FBI unit chief. This impressive line-up laid to rest once and for all the notion that marijuana policy reform supporters are merely self-interested marijuana users rather than conscientious, civic-minded advocates interested in improving public policy.
I was truly honored to be included in this forum and given the opportunity to speak about marijuana policy in the House chamber — a chamber I had last visited in the 1980's as a student in the Wood County school system.
With strong, credible advocates like these supporting medical marijuana in West Virginia, patients in the Mountain State finally have reason to be optimistic about the future.
In New Hampshire, I've often argued that decision-makers should consider the state's motto — Live Free or Die — when considering whether patients should be free to follow their doctors' advice without fear of arrest. West Virginia's state motto — Montani Semper Liberi (Mountaineers Are Always Free) — seems equally relevant to this issue.
May both states live up to their mottos by passing effective medical marijuana laws, and may they do so soon!

The Ultimate Playlist – A love letter to my Wife on My Birthday
(This is a rather long post, so feel free to skip down to the playlist, if you can't wait.) It is my birthday today. I am now 43 years old. I usually go through a pensive stage of navel-gazing ahead … Continue reading

When you have diabetes, stress can affect more than your mood—it can take your blood glucose for a ride if you're not careful. Here's how to stay on track.
What do your days look like when you're facing a stressful event or situation? Schedules get juggled. We don't get enough sleep. We forget to exercise. Maybe we drink or eat a bit more than usual. And all of these factors can affect blood glucose.
Even if you're able to keep your lifestyle chugging along smoothly, stress can still disrupt your body's engine in ways you might not realize. In fact, research shows that stress causes blood-glucose levels to jump significantly. But the good news is that although you might not be able to control the sources of stress in your life, you can control how they affect your mind, body, and blood glucose.
Aerobic exercise of any kind has the power to calm. Even a brisk 20- to 30-minute walk can help. Try paying attention to your footsteps, counting "one, two, one, two" and visualizing each number in your mind as you go.
Research shows that listening to music reduces feelings of anxiety.
When stressed, most of us take quick, shallow gasps of air. But slow, rhythmic belly breathing is what you want. Blow out all the breath in your lungs (like a big sigh). Then focus on a point about two inches below your navel, in the center of your body. Inhale, imagining taking air all the way to that center and feeling your entire belly expand. Then breathe out slowly from that same place. Repeat 10 times.
Starting at top or bottom, tense one set of muscles in your body at a time, hold for a few seconds, then let them relax. Work your way through all major body parts—feet, legs, chest and arms, head and neck—and then enjoy the sense of release it provides.
Stuck in traffic? Appreciate the chance to sit and listen to tunes. Each time you have a stressful thought, think of something that makes you happy.
Call a friend and tell her that you just need two minutes to unload. A diabetes support group can also help you deal with stress. To locate one, call your local hospital or the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383).
