Does Nick Diaz stand any chance whatsoever against Georges St-Pierre? Is Roy Nelson, from a purely visual standpoint, the absolute worst fighter to get knocked out by? And what's a bigger first step for the UFC – the first female fight or the first openly gay fighter?
This edition of the Twitter Mailbag seeks to answer all these questions, plus some other stuff. You can ask a query of your own by addressing it to @BenFowlkesMMA, or you can just sit back and soak in some knowledge. The choice is yours, dear reader.
Now let's open up this week's TMB and get busy.
TontonKopsy @TontonKopsy
@benfowlkesMMA #TMB Is Diaz capable of any significant adjustment in his game for the GSP fight? Can the team come out w/ a clever gameplan?
I asked Carlos Condit what he thought of that matchup, since he's spent a combined 10 rounds in the cage with Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz. Not surprisingly, he doesn't think Diaz earned the shot, but, he said, "If Nick can kind of bring a dynamic style and utilize his jiu-jitsu more, I think he could have a chance."
Is it a great chance? Probably not. But a couple things we know about Diaz are that 1) he doesn't mind getting hit, and 2) he never stops coming forward, even when he probably should. If he can pressure GSP into making a mistake off a takedown attempt, maybe he can lock up a submission. Maybe he can simply trash-talk GSP into a state of blind rage, at which point the champ's savvy will give way to a sloppy all-out attack. You know, maybe. There's a chance, as Condit said. But, he quickly added, "I would put my money on Georges."
Albert Hantigua @stealthninjago
@benfowlkesmma When all else is equal, is it better for an MMA fight to include mutual animosity (GSP-Diaz) or respect (Cain-JDS)? #mailbag
It's better for the emotions and the relationship (or lack thereof) between two fighters to be genuine, regardless of what that is. If they don't hate each other, please, let's not try and pretend they do. It makes that narrative feel even more stale in the rare instances where there's true animosity. Playing up the bad blood angle is lazy promoting. I understand why MMA organizations do it – it works, often enough – but it's unnecessary. The Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez heavyweight title fight is a great example. Here are two great big men, each capable of fantastic feats of violence, and they're about to take their shirts off and try to beat each other up. This isn't a reality TV show. They don't need to be angry at each other in order for us to see them fight. Hand-to-hand combat is guaranteed. Isn't that enough?
Taylor Loyal @taylorloyal
@benfowlkesMMA Be honest. There's a huge difference in the matchmaking of Jones vs. Sonnen and GSP vs. Diaz, right?
Yes, there is. For all the complaining we could do about Diaz's title shot – and we could, we have – at least he's a real welterweight. He's been one for years, was a champion at that weight in another organization and isn't just fleeing one division for another because his prospects have dimmed, which is exactly what Sonnen did. All the people who are now screaming that Diaz has no chance against GSP, that he'll simply get taken down and elbowed into ground beef for five rounds, didn't seem to feel quite as indignant about it the first time Diaz was offered a title shot. Remember that? Back when Diaz seemed like the logical choice for GSP's next title defense? Then he screwed it up by going all Nick Diaz on his promotional responsibilities, which resulted in Condit getting the shot instead, though before that could happen GSP blew his knee out and Diaz ended up getting decisioned by Condit in an interim title fight. Man, this sport is weird sometimes, isn't it?
Anyway, the point is that Diaz was once thought to be a worthy challenger for the welterweight title, whereas Sonnen was never even discussed as a top light heavyweight. He hasn't even won a fight at 205 pounds in the UFC. He got his shot by talking it up and taking advantage of weird circumstances, which is the exact opposite of how Diaz lost his shot. If you want to complain about something, complain about that.
Thin Gypsy Thief @steampunk22
@benfowlkesMMA aesthetically, is Nelson worst fighter to lose to? Casual fans dont see the cred, just u getting KO'd by a beard & gut. #tmb
Here we go again with our collective concern for the hearts and minds of the "casual fan." Tell me, who are these people who care enough about MMA to watch an FX fight card headlined by Roy Nelson and Matt Mitrione, yet not enough about it to either know or make an effort to find out who Nelson is and why he matters?
Not that I'm saying such people don't exist – supposedly about a million of them watched old UFC fights on Spike TV the night the UFC debuted on FOX with a heavyweight title fight, so we've got no shortage of idiots manning remote controls out there – but I do wonder if we don't stress too much over what they think. Yes, to the man on the street, Nelson might look more like the dude who collects their trash than the dude who should be fighting for a living. Going off looks alone, they might never expect a former NFL lineman to get knocked out by him. But once they see for it themselves, aren't they more likely to be pleasantly surprised by Nelson rather than disgusted with Mitrione? And if they know/care so little about this sport to begin with, who's to say they'll even remember that Mitrione was the one who got starched by the bearded fat man? The people who know this sport know that Nelson has knocked out plenty of good fighters. The people who don't know just got their first lesson.
Mr. Patton @BeardedChild88
@benfowlkesMMA Why doesn't anyone talk about JDS being the pound for pound best fighter? He's the HW champ
You trying to make me go off about the meaninglessness of pound-for-pound rankings again, Mr. Patton? The short version is: They don't matter. The longer version is: They don't matter for some of the same reasons you just touched on.
Junior Dos Santos is a 240-pound heavyweight. The last time he fought, he beat a 260-pound Frank Mir. Does he get more credits added to his pound-for-pound account for that win? How about when he fights Cain Velasquez again, who also hovers around the 240-pound mark? Does he get less of a P4P bump for that fight than he would for beating up a larger, though less-skilled opponent? That's the thing about the pound-for-pound debate that really makes me want to put my head through the wall. As much as people love to argue about it, they can't agree on what it means. Does it mean that you could beat up bigger opponents? Does it mean you're better against people your own size than other champs are against guys their size? Does it seek to tell us who would win if all fighters were shrunk down to the size of beagles and had themselves a battle royale in an adorable little cage? JDS is currently the best heavyweight in the world, but there's no way to know whether he's a better heavyweight than Dominick Cruz is a bantamweight. Seriously, we will never, ever have a conclusive answer to that. Ever. And you know what? That's totally fine.
Brent Haugh @BrentHas2Write
@benfowlkesMMA What happens if Ronda Rousey loses to Liz Carmouche?
For starters, Liz Carmouche becomes the UFC 135-pound women's champion. Then Dana White mutters some curse words under his breath before pretending to be totally fine with it.
I'm kidding … kind of. It's no secret that White wants to be in the Rousey business. He's made that pretty clear. Carmouche is there because Rousey has to fight someone, and because Carmouche volunteered to be that someone. Rousey is a 12-to-1 favorite as of this writing, so few are expecting Carmouche to be much more than an opponent in a showcase fight for the jewel of women's MMA. Given the way the UFC has approached this, it's fair to ask whether it will remain interested in the women's division even if Rousey isn't the champ. Even White admits that she is the sole reason he changed his mind about allowing women in the UFC, so what happens if she loses?
If anything, I think it would be better for Rousey to lose this fight rather than a subsequent one. Even White couldn't possibly justify pulling the plug on women's MMA after one fight, especially if the new champ is the lovable underdog who served her country in the Marines. I think we can agree that "Gay Veteran Wins Title, UFC President Disappointed" is the last headline White needs right now. If Carmouche shocks the world, my guess is Rousey will either get an immediate rematch or, at the most, she'll be asked to win one easy fight before getting another crack at the belt. Also, my guess is that none of this will be an issue, because Carmouche probably isn't going to win.
christian cain @TN_WINS
@benfowlkesMMA If wet get an injury miracle and Chael misses the Jones fight, who do you want to see replace him? Please say Anderson Silva.
You actually think Chael P. Sonnen would withdraw from a fight due to an injury? Not a chance. Haven't you heard that part of his spiel? He could lose a leg in a gator attack, but when they play his music and call his name he's still going to bite down on that mouthpiece and make that walk. Besides, even if he was injured, all it would do is knock his chances down from slim to none. He'd still get paid for showing up.
If you want to worry about someone in that fight, worry about Jon Jones. He's the one who injured his arm in his last fight. He's also the one who showed up in Seattle and told reporters that rehab on that injury was going … OK, but it was complicated by his TUF responsibilities. Did he sound overly enthusiastic about his road to full recovery? He did not.
vincent mann @dogsandguns
@benfowlkesMMA do you think @mattmitrione has a glass jaw, and no ground game, and if so should he be in the ufc?
Mitrione has been TKO'd once, by one of the heaviest hitters in the division. Before that, he lost a decision due largely to Cheick Kongo's wall-and-stall tactics and his own reluctance to go on the attack. Those are his only two losses as a professional so far, so let's not try and draw too many broad conclusions just yet. He came to MMA late, still has fewer than 10 pro fights, and is fighting way above his experience level. He's got talent, but does he have enough time to develop it in the world's toughest MMA organization? That's what we're waiting to find out. Let's calm down and wait some more.
Andrew Lawrence @TheClownKid
@BenFowlkesMMA #TMB Why is no one mentioning Shayna Baszler going to the UFC? She was robbed against McMann & she is just a mean fighter…
Who says no one's mentioning it? I've been talking up Baszler since UFC President Dana White first began his pro-Ronda Rousey campaign. It seems like Rousey's name hardly ever comes up on the CME podcast without Baszler's following soon after, and for the reasons you mentioned. She's got a good submissions game, sharp stand-up, and she fights like she's got the heart of a medieval dungeon-master. White says he likes Rousey because she's mean and nasty? Wait until he meets Baszler. He'll probably have to do a little research on her first, since he only seems to know the names of about three or four female fighters, but once someone sits him down and shows him clips of her stomping on Sarah D'Alelio's ankle, he might come around.
Ryan Normand @MrNormand
@benfowlkesMMA will ufc ever move to a format similar to Bellator for title shots or will it always be your guess is as good as mine style?
I think if Bjorn Rebney were being honest, he'd tell you that there are times when Bellator's tournament-dictated matchmaking is a real pain in the neck. Some of that is evidenced by how the organization is planning to change its rules on title defenses going forward (also known as the Eddie Alvarez Rule). Fight promoters have to put butts in seats, and sometimes you need a little flexibility in your matchmaking to make that happen. Bellator is limited by the tournament structure, but it also needs that tournament to give it some sort of unique selling proposition. It's not an off-brand UFC; it's a totally different thing. See? There's the tournament to prove it.
That works for Bellator, but it also limits it at times. The UFC doesn't need a tournament format just to stand out. Even when it has done mini-tournaments, like the four-man deal to crown its first flyweight champ, White resisted calling it a tournament because, as he said, he "hates" them. Sorry to those of you who were hoping to see a PRIDE-style Grand Prix to determine the next UFC light heavyweight challenger. Ain't gonna happen.
Jay Bradley @jmichaelbrad
@benfowlkesMMA What's more important? The first female UFC fighter or the first openly gay UFC fighter? #tmb
They both represent pretty giant leaps for the UFC, but let's be honest here and admit that in American sports culture – particularly in contact sports, like MMA – there's a big difference between attitudes toward lesbian women and attitudes toward gay men. That's not to say it's no big deal for Carmouche to be the first openly homosexual fighter to compete in the UFC – it is. But I have a feeling that many of the same fans who have zero problem with seeing a lesbian compete in a UFC main event would not feel quite so comfortable watching a gay man headline a pay-per-view. There just isn't that same stigma attached to homosexuality in many women's sports. If anything, a lot of people are ready to assume that a successful female athlete is a lesbian, whereas male athletes still use the mere accusation of homosexuality as a sort of nuclear option against each other.
That attitude toward male homosexuality in sports is stupid and embarrassing and bigoted, and it has to change. I think it will change, eventually. I really hope we get to a point where we only care how well someone can fight, and not who they'll be grinding on after too many drinks at the after-party. Sadly, I don't think we're there yet. I think MMA in particular still has a lot of fans who hold bigoted attitudes toward gay men, which is a damn shame. Maybe Carmouche can begin to change some minds there. My suspicion is that there are more people willing to get worked up over the fact that two women are taking the main event spot (dry those tears, Dan Henderson fans) than the fact that one of them is a lesbian. Maybe that's a good thing. Once those people get used to the idea that sexual orientation has nothing to do with how good a fighter someone is, maybe they'll think it's no big deal when the UFC has an openly gay male fighter. I hope so.

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooks Every Day'
Let's get this out of the way first: Canal House Cooks Every Day is a gorgeous book, designed to be a collectors item just as much as a cookbook. This fact is not surprising given the elegant minimalist aesthetic of co-authors Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer. The duos' quarterly magazine and daily blog posts are similarly anchored by their signature overhead shots of simple, seasonal dishes--the photographs themselves would make for a lovely coffee table book.
But what sets Canal House Cooks Every Day above other titles edging out the actual coffee on living room tables is the complete approachability of the food. Sure, Hamilton and Hirsheimer are picky about the quality and seasonality of their ingredients (and occasionally this pickiness comes off as precious elitism). However, most of the recipes in the book could be prepared by relative novices in the kitchen, and many take fewer than 20 or 30 minutes to throw together. Over half of the recipes are written in conversational paragraphs, as if Hamilton and Hirsheimer were describing the process out loud, in person. These recipes transport the reader to Canal House itself, much like their popular blog, Canal House Cooks Lunch.
In fact, regular readers of the blog will recognize many of the images in the book. Hamilton and Hirsheimer drew inspiration for their cookbook (the duo's first under the Canal House name) from their blog. In the cookbook, recipes are organized by month and day, with notes on things like the weather when the recipe was developed or how the two were feeling that day. Again, this personal touch makes for an intimate read, in and out of the kitchen.
This week, we'll sample a few of Hamilton and Hirsheimer's picks for summer snacks and more substantial meals. First, we'll make a simple strawberry conserve, and then pair it with jamón serrano for a perfect pre-dinner nibble. Next, we'll assemble a composed salad of summer produce, perfect for the long hot days ahead. Finally, we'll whip up a pesto punctuated with anchovies and green olives, and then we'll roll it up inside flank steak for an easy grilled dinner.
Win 'Canal House Cooks Every Day'
Thanks to the kind folks at Andrews McMeel, we have five (5) copies of Canal House Cooks Every Day to give away to our readers this week. All you need to do for a chance to win is to tell us about your favorite simple summer meal in the comments section below.

Collection concerning Florentine families, organizations, trades, and industries covering the years 1437-1804. The documents that compose the collection are divided into two broad sections, one dedicated to families and organizations, and the other to subjects. The former, arranged alphabetically by name, then chronologically for each family or organization, features documents pertaining to about 130 among the most important Florentine families, as well as institutions such as the Monte di pietà and the hospital of Santa Maria Novella (referred to as Spedale). The families that are best-known in the collection include the Acciaiuoli, Altoviti, Antinori, Corsi, Corsini, Guadagni, Rucellai, Salviati, and Strozzi; the best-represented families in the collection are the Amadori, Capponi, Cassi, Lapini, and Ricciardi. A small number of documents containing information on 3 ships is also present. The latter, arranged alphabetically by subject, and chronologically within each subject, is comprised, for the most part, of numerous kinds financial documents (including accounts, receipts, orders, payments, etc.), and documents related to different aspects of rural life and farm management (such as the purchase of cattle and grains). Other subjects include the guilds of Florence, especially the one of the lanaoioli, wool workers, and that of the setaioli, silk weavers; iron trade; and business relations between Florence and England and Florence and the Netherlands.

|Tori, Natalie, and Jen all guessed correctly. I'm impressed!
It's a bookulele. It had to be called that, right? In fact, I think I may have decided to go ahead and make it when I realized how easily 'lele' attaches to 'book.' And when I saw this title at the library sale, the whole project was sealed.
There are several cigar box ukulele documentations out there, but a couple really inspired me to try my own. One was this shoeboxulele (it had to be called that, right?), which despite being made of a cardboard box, some scrap wood and toothpick frets, sounds pretty good:
The other video doesn't allow embedding, but here is the link. Learning that I could buy a neck, thereby avoid having to measure frets, and then just bolt it on, helped fuel things along. It meant that essentially the project would entail turning the book into a box, finishing and adding the neck, and stringing it up.
I'll document in more detail soon but add that the uke does play, albeit with a rather dampened, muffled sound. It turned out to be a good little travel uke, though, since it can be played in the car or in the room without disturbing anyone.
That may in fact be all it's good for, but I'm enjoying it for now.

10 Great Places to Celebrate Sports History in New York State
See where thoroughbred Secretariat became a race-horse legend, the Bronx Bombers' new home and visit halls of fame recognizing baseball, boxing and even fly-fishing greats
Albany, N.Y. (April 24, 2013) – Women in flamboyant broad brimmed hats cheer. The bugler trumpets the "Call to Post" and gleaming thoroughbreds prance past the wooden Victorian club house and grandstands with their iconic red and white awnings to take their places at the starting gate. As Saratoga Race Course prepares to kick off its sesquicentennial season this May, it looks and feels much as it did 150 years ago. The oldest sporting venue in the U.S., the "track" is just one of New York State's contributions to sporting history. Across the state, historic venues, museums and halls of fame memorialize the greats of baseball, boxing and many other sports.
The Path Through History program, introduced by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, makes it easier than ever to explore the state's sports history sites. Sports History, an important aspect of American culture, is one of 13 themes that New York State is using to organize its 500-plus heritage sites. The program includes identifying markers on major state highways as well as additional local signage with a distinctive Path Through History logo to help point the way and a web page on www.iloveny.com/paththroughhistory with additional information. Path Through History will be celebrated with nearly 200 events throughout the state on June 1-2 and 7-8, so be sure to check regularly for more information.
Following is a sampling of the Sports History sites highlighted in the Path Through History program along with other fun places to experience the history of sports around the Empire State.
1. Horses in First Place. While spectators no longer arrive in horse-drawn carriages, the Saratoga Race Course (in the Capital-Saratoga region), the oldest major sports venue in the United States, takes visitors back in time. Bands playing and gingham picnic blankets laid out under the pine trees on the lawn create a country fair ambience. This year, the "track" celebrates its 150th anniversary with events in Saratoga running from May through September. Racing greats such as Man o' War, Whirlaway and Secretariat are enshried at the National Museum of Racing and Thoroughbred Hall of Fame, where new
attractions include a mechanical horse (for those four feet and taller) synchronized with jockey cam videos that simulates the experience of racing. But there's nothing like the sense of tension buzzing through the crowd when, between July and September, the bugle sounds, the bets are placed and the fastest thoroughbreds in the world come racing around the track—as they have for a century and a half.
2. Hitting a Homerun. Every year, the baseball world looks to Cooperstown in Central New York to see who will be the newest Hall of Famers, but year-round the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, pays homage to this American pastime. The museum opened in Cooperstown in 1939, where legend had it, the game was invented a century earlier by Abner Doubleday. This mecca for baseball fans is as powerful a draw as ever. Films and exhibits explore baseball history and aspects of the game, from the role of African Americans and women to famous stadiums and broadcasters. Tens of thousands of artifacts, such as Lou Gehrig's uniform from his last season of play in 1939, the plaque dedicated to Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier bringing the Negro leagues' electrifying style of play to the Majors, memorabilia from Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak and photo galleries of notable native New Yorkers like Sandy Koufax, are on display. And for families who truly want to live baseball, the museum offers "Extra Innings Overnights" with activity stations throughout the museum.
3. Enshrining Their Gloves. When the townspeople of Canastota, in the Central New York region realized there was no boxing hall of fame to honor their two hometown heroes, Carmen Basilio, a former welterweight and middleweight champion in the late-1950s, and his nephew, Billy Backus, who won the world welterweight title in 1970, they worked to raise the funds and create the International Boxing Hall of Fame, which opened its doors in 1989. Since then, many New York boxing legends including Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, and Mike Tyson, have been inducted and honored. The museum displays life-size fist castings, robes, the gloves used in world championships and videos of classic fights. There's even a boxing ring, straight out of Madison Square Garden, where Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier battled in the 1971 "Fight of the Century.
4. Rev Those Engines. Across the state Grand Prix, stock cars, midget and drag racing, have long been a favorite past time. In fact, New York has been hosting road races since the 1896 Cosmopolitan Race in the Bronx and Westchester, and the Vanderbilt Cup, road racing's most prestigious race in the early 20th century. One of the most notable raceways is Watkins Glen International, in the Finger Lakes region. Here, Cameron Argetsinger organized the first post-World War II road race in the U.S. in 1948 on a circuit around the dirt, asphalt and cement roads of the village. The race quickly drew the to p names in American sports car racing along with crowds of spectators, and five years later, the first course was built. Watkins Glen International racetrack was home to the United States Grand Prix from
1961 to 1980. "The Glen," as it is known, has hosted road racing of nearly every class and still hosts national car events; visitors can lap "Thunder Road" with their own cars. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the first race in Watkins Glen, the International Motor Racing Research Center in Watkins Glen opened in 1998. Racing fans will also find photographs, magazines, programs and everything imaginable related to racing, both in Watkins Glen and around the world at this is an archival library. New York has also given rise to some of the best racers including the "First Lady of Drag Racing," Shirley Muldowney, a pioneer in professional auto racing and the first woman to win a major racing championship.
5. Sports History in the Making. With nearly 1,000 golf courses, New York State is home to many golf firsts. Not only is it the birthplace of both the PGA and USGA, but it is also home to Saint Andrews Golf Course in Yonkers, recognized by many as the first golf course in the US. This summer, Rochester is uniquely positioned to secure another first as 'Golf's Titletown'. The LPGA and PGA Championships will be played just two months apart, marking the first time that the men and women will play major tournaments in the same community, and giving golf fans in Western New York the unique opportunity to see the best in golf compete on the biggest stage. The Wegmans LPGA Championship (rising to major championship status in 2013) is returning to Locust Hill Country Club outside Rochester in June, for the fourth straight year while the 95th PGA Championship will take place at nearby Oak Hill Country Club in August. Other prominent courses that have hosted major championships including the US Open are Long Island's Bethpage State Park – Black Golf Course and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club and Hudson Valley's Winged Foot.
6. Football First. African American athletes still faced racism when Ernest "Ernie" Davis became the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy, playing for Syracuse University, in 1961. Davis, nicknamed, the "Elmira Express," was presented the award and then asked to leave. Davis, the number-one pick in the 1962 NFL draft, was signed by the Washington Redskins only after the team was ordered to sign a black player or lose their lease on the D.C. Stadium. Davis refused to play for them and instead, signed the most lucrative contract to date for an NFL rookie. Sadly, he never played pro, as he was diagnosed with leukemia. He now rests at the historic Woodlawn National Cemetery, in Elmira, in the Finger Lakes, where guided summer trolley tours also visit the graves of Mark Twain and other notables.
7. Casting a Line. The Catskills has often been called the birthplace of American fly fishing. At the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum in Livingston Manor, visitors can learn about the history, philosophy and techniques of the sport. Well-labeled displays of angling equipment, art and artifacts explain the traditions and techniques of this Catskill style of angling. Those who want to get out and try their hand can learn fishing etiquette, fly tying and fly casting from the experts. The center also offers programs by naturalists and environmentalists.
8. A New Breed. The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen, in the Hudson Valley region, presents the history of harness racing and a hall of fame for American Standardbred horse breed. The museum, built around the stable on the site of the oldest harness track still in use, is a National Historic Landmark. Interactive displays include an interactive horse auction game, a horse race and a 3-D harness racing simulator. Here, visitors can learn about Hambletonian 10, foundation sire of the Standardbred, who was born in nearby Sugar Loaf and made his debut in Goshen.
9. The Beloved Bronx Bombers. In the borough of The Bronx in New York City, the Yankees, a.k.a. the Bronx Bombers, may have a new stadium, but their history is well preserved. The New York Yankees Museum sponsored by Bank of America tells the story of baseball and the Yankees with displays of artifacts and memorabilia. Guests can enjoy the museum on game days from the time the gates open until the end of the eighth inning. Before the game, ticket holders can visit Monument Park, a kind of open-air museum with plaques and retired numbers honoring distinguished members of the historic Major League baseball team. On non-game days, the Classic Individual Tour includes a visit to the museum and Monument Park. Here, baseball greats like Babe Ruth and Yogi Berra and many of the Yankee's greatest moments are celebrated. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/
10. Schussing into the Winter Olympics. Lake Placid in the Adirondacks is one of only three places in the world to have hosted two Winter Olympic Games (St Moritz, Switzerland and Innsbruck, Austria are the others). It remains a prime year-round training ground for athletes thanks to facilities built for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Visitors can experience Olympic thrills, skating on the indoor Olympic Center rink where, in a surprise win, the U.S. overtook the Russians in the "Miracle on Ice" hockey game in 1980. The Lake Placid Olympic Museum explores the legacy of the winter games; visitors can view video highlights, athletes' uniforms and equipment, Olympic Games torches and medals, including the first gold medal ever awarded. Watch the next crop of Olympic hopefuls practice graceful routines on the rink and soaring jumps at the Olympic Jumping Complex; guests can even take a trip up to the top of the jumping tower themselves to catch the breathtaking view. Not to be missed is the thrill of bobsledding with a pro -- on wheels in warm-weather months -- down the Olympic track. Survivors are rewarded with a bobsled lapel pin and membership in the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation.

Mayor's Office
The City's fourth Waterfest Saturday, June 9 will include a celebration of Public Works Day. The fun and free events planned from 5 to 8 p.m. Holmes Lake Park include music from PANgea, fishing, canoeing, educational exhibits, free refreshments and prizes (while they last).
"Waterfest is an opportunity for those who live, work and play in Lincoln to have fun and learn what they can do to reduce and prevent pollutants from getting into our water resources," said Mayor Chris Beutler. "We all have a role to play in improving water quality by installing rain gardens and rain barrels, picking up pet waste, fixing auto oil leaks and using lawn chemicals responsibly."
The Mayor said adding Public Works Day to Waterfest will help to educate the public about the many services the City's Public Works and Utilities Department provides "from first brush to last flush." Public Works Day will give the public an up close look at some of the Department's large equipment, such as a street sweeper, a storm sewer cleaning truck, a combination sander, a truck equipped with a remote camera to view inside pipes, and a boom truck.
The City's partners in Waterfest include the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Other sponsors are Olsson Associates; JEO Consulting Group; the Lincoln Parks Foundation; Pepsi-Cola of Lincoln; Nebraska Concrete and Aggregates Association; EA Engineering, Science and Technology; American Classifieds; Culligan of Lincoln; and the American Red Cross.

Other conditions impersonating asthma may be malignant tumors of the chest like lymphosarcoma and Hodgkin's disease. Also swelling of the wall of aorta known as aneurysm may cause symptoms of asthma. Sometimes inhalation of inorganic and organic substances also causes symptoms of severe asthma.
Panax is rich in phyto-hormones for both men and women's problems. For men it helps in the formation of testosterone and for women it protects against breast cancer, hence the term adaptogenic (it will adapt to the needs of the body no matter what is needed and no matter what sex.) For this reason, Panax also fits into the aphrodisiac category. Panax Ginseng is used for enhancing the immune system, impotence and premature ejaculation, poor sleep and nervous exhaustion. It is especially useful for older bodies with debilitating conditions.

Siberian Ginseng (also called Eleuthero or Eleutherococcus senticosus) comes from China. It is known for its long-term energy effects on the adrenal glands and circulation. In this day and age, most of our American population is overtaxing their adrenal glands with excess stress. There are just too many tasks enticing us to utilize our available time. We are spending less and less time with our families and doing what nourishes us (our Life Purpose or God Path.) Siberian Ginseng is a yang tonic herb, so it stimulates fast, hot, male energy type of function. Siberian Ginseng has been used for rheumatic complaints, low vitality, and weak liver and kidney energy for about 2000 years. It is considered less heating (less yang) than the Panax varieties (therefore safer.)

Ginseng is known as an adaptogenic herb. An adaptogen is an herb that regulates and helps the body handle stress and maintain vitality. Adaptogens are used for long term revitalization and not for immediate energy like central nervous system stimulants such as caffeine.

bronchitis can last even after the illness has been cured. The main reason that one develops acute
is because of an infection. Almost all infections that then lead to acute
are caused by a virus. Acute
can also be caused by bacteria or a fungus, but these are very rare cases of
infection. Furthermore, you can also develop acute
if you are exposed daily to chemicals that get into your body through air. Smoke, dust or vapors can also cause acute bronchitis. If you live in an area that is polluted, the risk of developing acute
is higher and you are also more at risk of recurrence of
. There is also another problem if the child or person lives around people that smoke, his/ her chances of developing acute bronchitis are much higher.
Ginseng is grown in many parts of the world. The roots are the part of the plant used for all Ginseng products. Each variety has its own health benefits. Ginseng benefits are cumulative. Taking the herb for several months to a year is far more effective than short-term doses. Ginsengs are used in many Eastern formulas to complement other herbs.
Wild Ginseng, from Manchuria, is considered the best, but is extremely expensive. For centuries in the East, top-grade Ginseng roots have been valued more than gold.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a serious disorder which may produce chronic intestinal and pulmonary problems. The symptoms here are those of severe asthma. The disease may start with recurrent infections and pneumonia. The infants who are underweight and prematurely born generally show the symptoms of CF. the chest X-rays of such children show severe scarring of the lungs due to recurring bouts of pneumonia. CF is best detected with the help of a sweat test because the patients secrete excessive amounts of sodium and chloride salts in their sweat.
Ginseng in general provides energy to all body systems, is a stimulant for brain and memory centers, helps lower cholesterol and regulates sugar use in the body. Ginseng also promotes regeneration from stress and fatigue. All Ginsengs contain measurable amounts of germanium, a trace mineral also in mushrooms.
Many people who have had an attack like this emphasize unconsciously on the symptoms. This also makes them impersonate the symptoms repeatedly. Psychological analysis may reveal conditions of mild to extreme emotional insecurity in cases suffering from hysterical asthma. The good part is that the disease is neither serious nor may lead to any other serious ailment. It is mainly a mental condition and may also trigger off from severe hypochondria. The patients may also begin to use it as a tool for emotional manipulation of other people around them. There are really no age barriers for this disease to manifest and many times chronic cases may need psychological therapy to get over the symptoms permanently.
American Ginseng (Also called Panax quinquefolius, Xi Yan Shen) is a yin tonic. Yin tonics are cooling and slowing in nature. American Ginseng is used in China for fevers and for exhaustion due to chronic wasting diseases. It is also used for coughs related to lung weaknesses (such as tuberculosis, bronchial infections or asthma.)
Contraindications: Panax, meaning panacea, is NOT universally applicable in every illness like its name implies. Yang Ginsengs should not be taken during acute inflammatory disease or for bronchitis. Use the yin American Ginseng for
. The yang Ginsengs are used in combination with other herbs to temper their powerful nature.
I use Siberian Ginseng in my 'Old Dog Formula' to increase the circulation to the butt muscles and lower spine. I once had a client who came in regularly for Old Dog Formula for their two very aged shelties. I noticed that they came in a bit more regularly than they should for the dosage I had recommended. When I asked them about it, they confessed that they were also using the product with fabulous results. I like it too and use it occasionally for gardening season.

i was so weak felt really tired and drained. i was coughing all the time had sore throats and really just felt disgusting. after 2 days on bronovil i felt much, much better. thanks

Foreign body aspiration is found in toddlers mainly who tend to put everything in their mouths. These foreign bodies may then get sucked into the bronchial tubes and get lodged in the trachea. These may be tricky to detect as many foreign bodies do not get reflected on the X-ray and the symptoms are very similar to asthma. The doctors sometimes have to manually check and remove the foreign body with the help of a bronchoscope.
In other cases it is seen that a patient develops intrinsic asthma after suffering with chronic
at some very early stages in life. Intrinsic asthma may develop much later and also without any apparent history of allergens or any genetic indications. So many times because of the close relativity of all these diseases it becomes very difficult to chart out the primary cause leading to other complications. Closeness in symptoms also presents a very tricky situation.
In order to make your breathing a lot easier when you have
, here are some tricks for you to follow. First of all, when suffering from bronchitis, you must drink a lot of fluids. Try drinking at least nine galsses of water every day. This is very beneficial if you have
, because it helps to keep the mucus produced thin. Another thing to remember is to avoid any dairy products or sugar if you have bronchitis. They only weaken your immune system. Furthermore, the production of mucus will be increased by the use of these products, if you have
Cardiac Asthma: In this situation the symptoms of breathlessness are similar to those of bronchial asthma but they are caused mainly because of a heart disease. These symptoms happen generally during sleep or after exertion. The attacks are very similar to those of asthma accompanied by suffocation and tightening of chest muscles. They may even create pain in the chest region. The patient gasps for breath and is very restless. He may sweat profusely and has terrible difficulty in inhalation and exhalation. This may also be accompanied by a sharp rise in blood pressure and may trigger off terrifying fear of death in patients. The attacks may last for about few minutes to few hours. After the attack the patients feel terribly exhausted even for several days.
Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema: Chronic
and emphysema are diseases that are very closely related to asthma. It is generally seen that the patients of slightly older ages start with asthma and later on if untreated develop symptoms of chronic bronchitis, which may eventually lead to symptoms of emphysema.
In contrast to bronchial asthma, cardiac asthma is caused by failure of the pumping action of the left ventricle of the human heart. It is generally a condition that is suspected in people with a history of hyper tension and heart diseases in the family. It is also to be generally ruled out before proceeding for further treatments if the patient happens to be above the age of forty years.
Viral Bronchiolitis, Foreign Body Aspiration and Cystic Fibrosis: These three conditions are generally found in children and have symptoms closely mimicking those of asthma. Viral Bronchiolitis is a condition caused by a potent virus called the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). This virus causes wheezing and fever and the symptoms do not respond to anti-wheezing treatments.
The asthma may be due to allergens of any kind, which are difficult to detect as it is, and the system thus provoked may lead to more severe disorders. Sometimes the whole cycle may go in a different direction altogether and the patients develop asthma after a prolonged bout of chronic bronchitis. Thus, whichever route the diseases take it becomes complicated to chalk out the path where one may lead to another and symptoms may be very closely entangled.
The second useful trick when having
is not to take any cough suppressants. It is the first impulse that somebody has when suffering from bronchitis. This is not good, because when you cough, your body eliminates the mucus that is produced when you have bronchitis. If you take any drugs that are meant to suppress cough, the mucus may buildup. This can lead to serious complications of
, like pneumonia. Other drugs you should avoid in case of
are decongestants and antihistamines. Instead of helping you with your
, these drugs can make things worse. If you take them when you have
Hysterical Emphysema: This is a disease that is mostly psycho-somatic in nature. It is generally found in young girls and also in some hyper sensitive older women. In this symptoms are that of heavy breathing but do not show any difficulty in breathing. There is no perspiration and apparently there is no wheezing too. Bu the patient still feels very heavy breathing. The attack usually manifests after an emotionally charged bout that may include uncanny anger.
Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory tract and is mainly caused by constriction of the air passages due to several reasons. There are quite a few conditions that manifest with symptoms similar to that of asthma. This makes these diseases as well as asthma both very difficult to diagnose. Some conditions that impersonate the symptoms of asthma relatively closely are described here to facilitate ease of detection and treatment.

Panax notoginseng (Also known as Pseudoginseng or San Qi) is grown in China and is used as an analgesic and to stop internal and external bleeding. It is also added to treatments for coronary heart disease and angina. Quite interestingly, San Qi was used extensively by the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War to increase recovery rates from gunshot wounds. Avoid this one during pregnancy. It could harm the fetus.
Ginseng comes in two varieties, red and white. Red Ginseng is cured by steaming which gives it its color and yang attributes. So, next time you go to the health food store, don't just ask for Ginseng, be specific.

After persistent malfunctions in the transformers at Sultartangi Station over the past year, one of the Station's two transformers is back online following temporary repairs.
The waterfall that forms when Hálslón Reservoir fills, has been formally named. The name was announced in Egilsstadir this week. A report on the waterfalls within the area affected by the Kárahnjúkar Power Plant was presented on the same occasion.
Landsvirkjun, the Blanda Station, was on of six companies that received recognition from the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health in Iceland (AOSH) at the Occupational Safety and Health Conference in 2008.
What does Búrfell Power Plant have in common with an aircraft hangar in Austria, a swimming pool in France and a coal mine in Germany? The answer is that these places are ideal locations for cultural events and art exhibitions.
Landsvirkjun's Information System Division has fulfilled requirements for certification in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard, information security management systems.
Tinna Traustadóttir and Ríkarður S. Ríkarðsson have been appointed as the Executive Vice Presidents of the new Sales and Customer Service and Business Development and Innovation. The Marketing and Business Development Division will no longer exist.
Landsvirkjun, the National Power Company of Iceland, and the Port of Rotterdam have signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") to perform a pre-feasibility study of exporting green hydrogen from Iceland to Rotterdam. According to the MOU, the parties also agree to the exchange of knowledge, with the aim of exploring new opportunities of cooperation related to hydrogen.
Among the first companies globally to adopt a new approach to finance green assets.
Landsvirkjun's results for the first half of the year reflect the difficult economic conditions throughout the world.
Hörður Arnarson, CEO, Landsvirkjun, explains how the power company's ongoing innovation allows it to maximize the sustainable harvest of natural resources and add value to the economy in an interview with Country Reports in partnership with Newsweek.
" The current economic situation has shown us that supporting innovation and improving the utilisation of natural resources in Iceland is more important than ever" says Kristín Linda Árnadóttir, Deputy CEO of Landsvirkjun.
Landsvirkjun, Norðurorka (Utility Company), Húsavík Energy and SSNE have signed a new contract to continue their cooperation on the EIMUR innovation project which was formally established in 2017.
Landsvirkjun has started the process of developing a hydrogen production facility at Ljósifoss Hydropower Station.
Acceptable first quarter results under challenging external conditions.
At Landsvirkjun's board meeting, on April 20, 2020, the board of directors agreed on a new dividend policy for the company.
Landsvirkjun has exercised an issuer call option to redeem a bond on 28 October 2020 of the amount of USD 50,000,000.
Landsvirkjun's contribution to reigniting the economy.
Jónas Þór Guðmundsson re-elected chairman of the board.
Landsvirkjun and MýSilica join forces to support innovation and development in the Mývatn area.
The offering was very well received, with an order book which was multiple times oversubscribed.
Landsvirkjun will deliver 100% certified renewable energy to the high-performance computing data center.
The visitor center is temporarily closed due to COVID-19. This is only a precautionary measure.
The ratings apply to long- and short-term commitments, with and without the guarantee of collection.
Acceptable results in challenging external conditions.

Parks Kicks Off Summer Beach Season In New York City
Last week, Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe joined Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, local elected officials, and New Yorkers at four ceremonial beach openings throughout New York City to announce the official start of beach season.
The City's beaches opened on Saturday, May 27, with lifeguards on duty daily, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Swimming is strictly prohibited at all other times. Beaches will remain open through Labor Day weekend.
City beaches span a total of 14 miles and include Orchard Beach in the Bronx; Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn; Rockaway Beach in Queens; and Midland Beach, South Beach, and Wolfe's Pond Beach in Staten Island. All City beaches are free to the public.
"New York City's beaches are in great shape, and we look forward to a fun and safe summer," said Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe. "We remind beach-goers to observe all beach rules and regulations, carefully monitor children at all times, and especially to never go in the water when there is not a lifeguard on duty."
The kickoff festivities began on Wednesday, May 24 at South Beach in Staten Island with Mayor Bloomberg and Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro in attendance. On Thursday, May 25, Coney Island in Brooklyn was celebrated with Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz in attendance. Friday, May 26 was a beach opening doubleheader. The day began at Rockaway Beach in Queens with Council Member Joseph Addabbo, State Senator Malcolm Smith and State Assembly Member Audrey Pheffer in attendance, and concluded at Orchard Beach in the Bronx with Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion in attendance.
Over the past four years, Parks & Recreation has spent $40 million on improvements to New York City's beaches, and there is an additional $28 million worth of ongoing improvements. In the Bronx, a new lifeguard station is being completed to accompany the recently renovated main pavilion at Orchard Beach. South Beach on Staten Island is home to a new gazebo, shade pavilion and restored bathhouse, while Midland Beach boasts a new pier extending from the boardwalk into the Lower Bay of the New York Harbor. At Rockaway Beach in Queens, the City opened a new ocean-side skate park and playground in 2005, along with the City's first surfing beach. In Brooklyn, Parks is installing 95 historic boardwalk lights and will be welcoming professional volleyball to Coney Island for the first time this summer. Parks is also in process of lighting the famous Parachute Jump thanks to $1 million allocated by Borough President Markowitz.
The Daily Plant is pleased to announce the appointment of Jill Weber as Administrator of the Rockaways.
Jill began her Parks career 26 years ago, serving as an environmental analyst, horticultural intern, Riverside Park horticulturist, Old Nursery supervisor, and Bronx PRM where she managed landscape operations, volunteer programs and a variety of districts.
In November, 1993, Jill was hired as Director of the PACT program, Parks' first venture into welfare to work. She has been at the helm of our welfare initiatives ever since. Jill has served as Chief of POP since 2003, servicing about 2,800 former welfare recipients and presiding over the largest transitional employment program in the United States.
We wish her well in her new position.
"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!"

With the next session of the Alaska State Legislature approaching, Homer Representative Paul Seaton has been named to a handful of key positions in the House.
Homer Representative Paul Seaton begins his 11th year in the legislature after winning reelection over Democratic challenger Liz Diament November 6th. Seaton will begin next year's legislative session as chairman of the House Fisheries Committee, an appropriate post for the representative from Homer who is known for his Greek fisherman's hat.
"It seems like … a really good match-up, considering everything that's happening … with king salmon and all the issues we've got there," said Seaton.
Seaton says the single biggest issue the fisheries committee is likely to face is the statewide impact of low king salmon runs. He says the committee will also likely look at bycatch issues surrounding halibut fisheries in various parts of the state.
As chairman, Seaton has the power to receive all of the bills that come in and schedules when they will be heard in committee. His fisheries committee also has the power to oversee activities of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Seaton will also be a member of the House Resources, Education and Health and Social Services committees.
Another Peninsula legislator – Representative Mike Chenault of Nikiski – was chosen by his fellow Republicans to return as House Speaker. Seaton says he is pleased to have Chenault as speaker.
"He listens well to everybody," said Seaton. "He does a really good job of bringing people together and making sure we have an opportunity to work out any problems," he said.
Seaton says oil tax reform will likely once again be a dominant issue in the upcoming legislative session. He says the House has not yet seen a proposal from Governor Sean Parnell on what that reform might look like.
The 28th Alaska Legislature is set to gavel in January 15th in Juneau.

EDMONTON — An emotional Premier Alison Redford said Tuesday she will pay back approximately $3,100 relating to the use of government aircraft for personal use, but rebuffed opposition calls to repay the hefty price tag for her trip to South Africa for Nelson Mandela's memorial.
Amid growing controversy over her travel expenditures, the premier asked auditor general Merwan Saher to determine whether her office is in compliance with the government's own travel and expense policy.
She has also suspended the use of government aircraft for out-of-province travel pending Saher's review.
Redford, her voice breaking at times, told reporters she had asked her staff to review her flight records and found five questionable instances.
In one case, Redford took a government aircraft in March 2013 to Vancouver, where she and her daughter, Sarah, attended a family funeral. The premier then met officials with the Asia Pacific Foundation and Consul General of India.
Redford said there were also four instances in which a friend of her daughter accompanied them on a government flight.
"At the end of the day, I'm the premier of Alberta but I'm also a mother to a daughter who I like to spend time with," said Redford.
"On a few occasions when I know that my (travel) schedule will be demanding, I have encouraged Sarah to bring along a friend so that she has company.
"But, upon reflection, taxpayers should not have to pay any of the costs that are associated with my daughters' friend's travel."
The revelations come as Redford continues to come under heavy fire over the $45,000 tab for the South Africa trip in December.
The trip included a $15,000 flight to Ottawa on an Alberta government plane to catch a free ride on Prime Minister Stephen Harper's jet, a $10,000 commercial flight home instead of returning with Harper the same day, and $20,000 for the travel costs of an aide to accompany her to South Africa.
Wildrose MLA Rob Anderson said Tuesday's announcement was a distraction from the real issue — the South Africa trip and other questionable expenses.
"This isn't about her daughter. This isn't about her friends. No one is attacking that," he told reporters. "What we're talking about is someone who continually chooses to fly in the lap of luxury."
A new Leger poll commissioned by the Herald shows nearly eight in 10 Albertans believe she should repay all or part of the South Africa expense.
In the first question period of the spring legislative session, Redford faced immediate demands from Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith and Liberal Leader Raj Sherman to repay the cost.
But the Tory leader insisted she was acting in her official capacity on the Mandela trip, even if mistakes were made in the travel planning. The premier noted she had apologized for the cost and taken responsibility.
"I clearly stood up in front of Albertans and said 'I screwed up'," Redford said.
All three opposition parties said it's time to permanently ground Alberta's fleet of four aircraft used by cabinet ministers, which has been derided by critics for years as a wasteful indulgence by the government.
"It's unnecessary to have all these government planes available just to have ministers fly around on a whim," said Sherman.
NDP Leader Brian Mason said there is a double standard where the premier and her staffers rack up expensive travel bills and enjoy high compensation levels while the government imposes wage freezes and pension changes on public sector workers.
Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt said Redford was "trying to get ahead" of an issue that is causing major political damage.
However, the issue has already thrown the government off message during what was supposed to be a positive week with the throne speech and Thursday's provincial budget, he said.
Premier Alison Redford agreed Tuesday to repay money for four trips taken by her daughter's friends who were on government flights, and for a trip by the premier and her daughter to Vancouver for a family funeral in March 2013.

The boys went home long enough to shower and, in most cases, shave off their playoff beards, and then met at 4:00PM for a team gathering at Tia's Restaurant and Bar, right on the waterfront. The boys sat on the patio, nibbling on finger foods and enjoying a beer. Word quickly trickled out that the Bruins were at Tia's, and soon, a sea of people surrounded the area, including news outlets that delivered live hits from the waterfront location. The team howled when, in the distance, they saw Zdeno Chara and Andrew Ferrence arriving with the Stanley Cup being pushed in a baby stroller! Police helped carve a path through the crowd to get Zdeno, Andrew and Stanley onto the patio with their teammates. It was all but impossible to hear any conversations because of the cacophonous din of the screaming fans.
The Stanley Cup was flown to New York City for Friday, June 17. Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Tim Thomas accompanied the Stanley Cup. The three Bruins' stars walked into the Green Room at the Today Show at 7:30 that morning, only to find New York TV and radio stations already on set waiting for their arrival.
Bergeron, Chara and Thomas were greeted by the hosts, each of whom asked the boys a question about winning the Stanley Cup. Ann Curry then gave each a congratulatory kiss as well as planting a kiss on the Cup itself.
Returning to Boston after spending the morning in New York, the Stanley Cup made a stop at the home of Tim Thomas for family photos. The Thomas's garden is magnificent, and features the Bruins' logo carved out of stone.
Fans will undoubtedly know that Adam Sandler is a fan of the Boston Bruins. In fact, in his 1996 hit film 'Happy Gilmore,' Sandler wore a Bruins' jersey while golfing in a most unique manner. This summer, Adam will play the cranky father to Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg's character in 'I Hate You, Dad.' The Stanley Cup was taken to the film set and was immediately surrounded by cast and crew. Adam Sandler was ecstatic, and was really interested in examining the trophy.
Saturday, June 18, it was the much anticipated Stanley Cup parade through Boston. The Bruins were seated with identifying signs in Boston's famous Duck Boats, vehicles that can drive through streets as easily as they can take to water. Just prior to the parade, a few members of the Bruins' family addressed the crowd at the TD Garden at 11:00AM. Owner Jeremy Jacobs thanked the crowd for their support, and teased team president that the championship was something he was never able to do as a player. Tim Thomas said, "You guys wanted it, we got it and we want to share it with you today," which drew a Godzilla-sized roar from the fans. Captain Zdeno Chara held the Cup aloft, and with his height, there were fans in Cape Cod who could just about see the trophy above the city. Patrice Bergeron introduced Brad Marchand, who reprised the chorus of rapper Wiz Khalifa's 'Black and Yellow.'
Well over a million fans came out to cheer on the champions, making it what the police claim is the largest civic celebration in the city's history. Homemade signs were abundant along the parade route, many proposing marriage to rookie Tyler Seguin. The players, all wearing matching championship t-shirts, smiled and waved at the throngs lining the parade route.
At 7:00PM, the boys met at High Rollers Luxury Lanes and Lounge in the entertainment complex. For three hours, they laughed and bowled as they noshed on pizza and sliders. Then, they visited the Shrine Club in the hotel. Owners Randy Greenstein and Ed and Joe Kane had cordoned off a special area for the visit. "We have a very, very special surprise for you, gentlemen," the owners said. They then delivered a 30-litre bottle of Ace of Spades 'Midas' champagne. The bottle, one of but six in existence, had been flown in and then brought by limousine from the airport to the Shrine. The Bruins all took turns enjoying a gulp of extraordinary champagne from the Stanley Cup, signing the label of the bottle after their turn. The bottle, now empty, was signed by all of the Bruins and will be displayed at High Rollers with plans to raffle it off at a later date.
On Friday, we'll take you out to the ballpark to observe sports collide as we take you to Fenway Park to watch the Bruins watch the Red Sox. Grab your glove and we'll catch up with you then.

July 11, 2014 : By Drew Menard
Several incoming students have jumpstarted their academic careers at Liberty University by taking part in one of four Summer Orientations. During these events, Liberty gives future students and their families opportunities to explore campus, gain important information, and connect with leadership and future classmates.
Although all new students can participate in orientation events during Welcome Week right before the semester begins, Summer Orientation allows participants to get a head start on this process, as well as become familiar with campus.
Liberty recently hosted orientations on June 16, 23, and July 11, with a final one scheduled for July 25. In all, the first three events drew about 3,700 guests, including incoming students and their families, making it the highest Summer Orientation turnout ever. Liberty will welcome nearly 4,200 new/transfer students this fall, its largest incoming class to date.
Though a high percentage of these "early birds" hail from Virginia or North Carolina, students come from all across the U.S. for Summer Orientation.
"It is our privilege to welcome the students with open arms and with great anticipation as we begin the journey of carrying them all the way to the finish line (graduation)," said Justin Mercer, Liberty's director of Orientation and Retention.
During Summer Orientation, incoming students are able to take New Student Seminar 101, a graduation requirement that introduces students to academic material as well as teaching them how to be safe and responsible on campus. The students are able to meet with academic advisors, Financial Aid, and Student Accounts to ensure that everything is lined up for them to begin their studies. They are also able to meet their classmates as they take tours with resident directors from Liberty University Student Leadership, attend informational sessions, and participate in a kickball game at the Liberty Baseball Stadium. A family cookout is held in conjunction with the game.
Students are can also pick up their Flames Pass during orientation. This multipurpose card serves as their official university ID and key to a variety of services and activities both on and off campus.
Summer Orientation also offers a session for parents of incoming students — hosted by the Parent and Family Connections Office — providing them with important information as well as reassurance that their son or daughter will be well taken care of.
Pam Dean traveled from Spartanburg, S.C., to the July 11 orientation with her daughter, Elizabeth, a rising Liberty freshman. The family was able to visit a residence hall and familiarize themselves with campus.
"I now know all the departments that we need to get (connected) with," Pam Dean said.
Though Pam and her husband, Robert, are a bit emotional at the idea of taking their first child to college in August, they know she is in good hands.
"I think this is an environment for her to thrive in if she will take advantage of what is here," Pam Dean said. "I am very excited for her future."

MIAMI — As hundreds of injured survivors of the Haiti earthquake overwhelmed Florida hospitals in January, state officials pleaded with the federal government for basic information about arriving patients but got little assistance, e-mails obtained by The Associated Press show.
More than two weeks after the quake, Florida officials warned they could not treat any more victims. In response, the American military abruptly halted medical airlifts, saying Florida had refused to take additional patients and provoking a bitter exchange over who was responsible for the delays.
"I have advised the federal government that until we see a plan for the future transportation and care of these patients that Florida could not agree to accepting more patients," the state emergency management chief, David Halstead, wrote in a Jan. 28 e-mail. "We have been forced to daily react to last-minute requests to accept large number of long-term care patients."
Nearly five years after Hurricane Katrina exposed serious flaws in the nation's disaster-response capabilities, e-mails obtained by the AP under Florida's open-records law show state and federal officials squabbling over where to send patients while an epic humanitarian crisis unfolded hundreds of miles to the south.
The picture that emerges is somewhat at odds with the one put forward by the Obama administration, which worked intensely in the weeks after the earthquake to mount a faster, more organized response than that of the Bush White House following Hurricane Katrina.
Moira Whelan, a spokeswoman for U.S. Agency for International Development, the agency leading U.S. relief efforts in Haiti, said the federal government worked through Florida's concerns during an unprecedented response to an international disaster.
The Jan. 12 earthquake killed more than 230,000 people. More than 18,000 survivors were evacuated to the United States by the end of January and more than 31,000 by the end of February. Hundreds ended up in hospitals in Florida, the nearest U.S. state.
Hospitals in three Florida counties alone accepted more than 450 quake victims in January, before patients were flown to the Tampa and Orlando areas.
While not an exceedingly large number in itself, those patients added to the hospitals' strain at the height of the snowbird season. They also arrived at the same time as tens of thousands of football fans flooded South Florida for the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl.
Within 10 days, the state was struggling to manage the influx of evacuees, the e-mails show.
Frustrated Florida officials complained that flights carrying seriously injured quake victims arrived with just a few minutes' notice and with no information about how many people were aboard, what they needed or how long they were expected to stay. State agencies also wanted to know how their rising costs would be reimbursed.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

'Approaching the breaking point'
On Jan. 24, officials asked that a single federal agency be appointed to assist the state in communicating with federal officials and obtaining reimbursement. The lack of coordination, Halstead wrote, "is contrary to good emergency management principles" and led to "a number of denials by federal agencies who consider this a state mission."
Two days later, a flight landed at the Fort Lauderdale airport with 21 trauma patients and two burn victims. The additional quake victims "saturated" South Florida's hospitals, Halstead wrote, so they were sent farther north in the state. The next day, another flight landed in Tampa with 22 more patients.
Halstead protested that Florida hospitals were "rapidly approaching the breaking point" and would accept no more patients without a plan for their transportation and care.
Military medical transports were immediately grounded, although some private flights continued.
Halstead spokesman John Cherry said Florida never told the military that the flights could not land. Instead, the state said it was irresponsible to accept more patients where there weren't enough beds.
As the dispute unfolded, some survivors waited, near death, at field hospitals in Port-au-Prince for an airlift out of the leveled city.
An American doctor in the capital city said he had at least 100 critically ill patients who could die "in the next day or two" if they did not get to better hospitals. Dr. Barth Green said he relied on military transport flights because they were bigger and better equipped to handle seriously injured patients.
Estimated cost: $8.8 million
A Transportation Command spokesman told The New York Times that a cost dispute had made Florida unwilling to accept any more patients, prompting an angry response from Halstead.
"Instead of praising all of our support (yesterday alone another 800+ US citizens and foreign nationals were repatriated with 100+ receiving direct support from Florida) we read that the state is not doing enough or what appears to be nothing at all," Halstead wrote to TransCom's deputy command surgeon.
An estimate by the Florida Hospital Association put hospital costs related to earthquake relief at $8.8 million when the airlift was suspended.
In an e-mail to the governor's staff and legislators, Halstead suggested it would be helpful to activate the National Disaster Medical System, which seeks to evenly distribute patients among hospitals and reimburses those facilities.
Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services Carmen Nazario replied that HHS would await a formal request from the state, which came Jan. 27 from Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.
State officials also appealed to the U.S. Transportation Command, the State Department and the American Embassy in Haiti for better coordination with federal relief efforts. The Transportation Command told Halstead that Florida's concerns were being addressed "at the highest levels" in Washington.
Finally responding to the Florida governor on Jan. 29, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius thanked him for the state's "rapid and comprehensive response," but her office said more follow-up was needed to fulfill the request.
Halstead's pleas for some kind of plan persisted through Jan. 31, when he told the Transportation Command's deputy command surgeon that unless he personally cleared the flights, none were approved to land in Florida.
On Feb. 1, the National Disaster Medical System was activated, and the medical transports resumed. Hundreds more injured Haitians were evacuated to the U.S. in the following days, including dozens who were sent to Georgia and elsewhere.
Richard Olson, a Florida International University expert on disaster response, said the lesson the U.S. government can take from the Haiti quake is to plan for the domestic impact of international disasters, and not to concentrate the response in one state.
"Florida did pretty well, considering," Olson said. "But loading it all onto one state, it's not logical. There are going to have to be three or four states minimum in the U.S. involved in dispersing relief."

I have a grid with an implied default selModel of RowSelectionModel, and implied default setting singleSelect = false, causing you to be able to select multiple rows of data.
In a gridView, the same would be done using multiSelect = true, which also gives you the optional feature called simpleSelect = true. This makes it so you aren't required to hold ctrl for a multi-selection.
Is there an easy way to have simpleSelect for a grid with RowSelectionModel? It's not in the documentation, but I was hoping there is a relatively simple trick to enable this. I'd reckon this is a popular feature and I'm probably missing something, but I can't figure it out using google.

I hope this blog speaks for those in Queens County who feel isolated politically due to the domination of the borough by a small cabal of Democrats who have dominated our elected representation for over a half a century. I do believe that conservative values are shared by the silent majority. I too was a Democrat, until I realized that I agreed with nothing they were doing. So it is like being born again as a Republican.
The goal here is not just to inform, but to remind everyone of the true nature of the local Democratic establishment. Our public must know that when they are voting Democrat, they are actually voting against their own self interest, and the vitality of this community.

Thanks for your feedback -- we'll look at supporting other browsers depending on demand.
Glad you like the extension! :)

gal67 says:
Geeks dont chose IE but locked down work desktops do
sosnowsk says:
Count me in as another geek who uses IE and RTM. The integration with gmail looks fab & I'm dying to try it on m IE machine.
redviper says:
IE7 is awesome. I'd love IE integration for RTM/Gmail also.
redviper says:
Also a vista sidebar gadget would be really appreciated.
joyeuse13 says:
Add me to the list of RTM users with IE. I actually don't like Firefox. I know, I lose geek cred.
bpatil says:
@paul.sinclair - rtm is not just for geeks (im in sales, not engg). I use maxthon (www.maxthon.com) which is a shell on top of IE. Maxthon would let me use gecko as an engine, however the non-geek internets dont like anything but IE. My choices are constrained.
shennyg says:
I am on IE6 at work, most govt agencies are rocking it old school... win 2000 outlook 2003 IE6
At home I am the latest and greatest!
At home I am the latest and greatest!
ugur.isik says:
iw would be really perfect cus i have to use IE at work due to restrictions of firefox.
I am in the list to :)
I am in the list to :)
sandra.montisci says:
Any likelihood of getting Remember the MIlk for GMail integration with IE any time soon? Whilst I can use whatever browser I want at home, I don't have such a facility at work, where they will only use IE. So that prevents a seamless transition between machines and thus getting things done as effectively as possible.
alexvercammen says:
Count me in. Here at work, our desktop is locked and therefore IE7 is the only browser available. I have Firefox at home and the RTM/Gmail add-on is great. Any chance to get one for IE7 that would not require authorization at installation as well.
(closed account) says:
guys... this already exists!
Its not as good as the FF plugin, but you do have RTM in gmail...

Story highlights
- A divorce has been granted for the man and the 15-year-old girl, human rights group says
- Man says he paid a $20,000 dowry for her, but parents took her back
- Rights group says the girl and man fought, and she ran away
- The case outraged human rights activists this week
A divorce has been granted in the case of a Saudi teenager who was wed to a 70-year-old man, Saudi Arabia's Human Rights Commission told CNN on Wednesday.
The man was the focus of outrage this week when he said his bride's family fooled him into paying a $20,000 dowry but then took their daughter back. The commission said the two fought and she ran away, back to her family.
In Saudi Arabia, no law stipulates a minimum age for marriage. There's been a push for that in recent years, but extremely conservative religious scholars have pushed back.
The man told CNN that he is 70, but the commission said they believe he is 86. The man also told CNN that he thought his bride to be was 25.
After learning of the marriage, the commission sent an investigator to the girl's home in Al-Hurath village in Jizan province, in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen.
Dr. Hadi Al-Yami, who runs the commission's branch that covers that area, told CNN that the group sent an investigator to a courthouse where the man had complained to a local official.
The commission then reached out to the girl's family, offering legal help, Al-Yami said.
On Wednesday, Dr. Bandar Alaiban, the commission's president, said a meeting had taken place with the parents, man and the girl.
"A divorce has taken place," Alaiban told CNN, "and the dispute has now been resolved amicably."
The marriage angered human rights groups and activists.
Dr. Suhaila Zein al-Abedin of the Saudi National Association for Human Rights -- also a government-backed group -- voiced concern not only about the age difference, but the circumstances of the marriage.
"When you consider the very large difference in age, it looks more like this was not a marriage, but like the girl was sold," al-Abedin said. "The girl's parents need to be held responsible for this."
Prominent Egyptian activist Mona Eltahawy tweeted, "It's only when there's enough public outrage that we can fight #childmarriage. We are not angry enough to help that 15 y/o & others like her."
Yemeni activist NoonArabia tweeted, "#ChildMarriage is a violation of human rights http://www.humanrightsdefence.org/child-marriage-as-an-human-rights-issue.html ... #RunAwayBride #PTs."
