SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - A closed door meeting took place Friday afternoon between Superior Court Judge Louisa Abbot, attorneys for Paula Deen and her brother Earl Hiers and the attorney for Lisa Jackson, the former general manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House Inc.
Jackson's attorney Wes Woolf told WTOC earlier Friday that the meeting would involve him, Deen's attorney and the judge a closed door meeting in the judge's office.
They were expected to discus was what happens next - procedural items such as timetable for discovery, planning and housekeeping issues when it comes to the case.
But after the meeting, Woolf said he would no longer be able to provide WTOC any information.

Ants: Family Formicidae
Ants are one of the most successful and ecologically important groups of terrestrial insects. They have colonised all terrestrial habitats throughout the world except the polar regions and highest mountaintops.
Ants can be found anywhere from coastal mangroves to urban backyards and inside our homes. Their success, in part, is because of their ability to communicate with each other. They have the most complex form of chemical communication in the animal kingdom and together they accomplish tasks beyond any individual insect.
Ants are formidable opponents and defend their foraging area from other animals. They can overwhelm by sheer weight of numbers and have offensive armoury that may include fierce jaws and potent stings.
Features of ants:
- Ants are social insects. They exist in colonies that work together to gather food, rear young and defend the nest.
- Nests contain eggs, larvae and pupae and different types (or castes) of ants.
- Colony sizes range from a few individuals to tens of thousands. Each colony is made up of a queen, different-sized workers and a number of other castes at different stages of the colony cycle.
- The most commonly seen caste are workers.
- Winged ants leave the nest to mate and found new colonies in late summer and spring, often after rain. Many are eaten by birds and other predators.
- Ants are probably the most common insects encountered by humans.
- There are around 15,000 different species of ants worldwide.
- There are 1,275 Australian ant species described, but this could double with further research.
- Most species of Australian ants are found only in Australia.
- Many plants and other insects have evolved relationships with ants, even to the point where ants are a necessary part of their life cycle.
- Some birds place ants on their bodies to remove parasites. This is known as anting.

Today we're celebrating Suzanne Johnson's Royal Street. This is the first book in her Sentinels of New Orleans series. I love reading about New Orleans, and this book begins just prior to Hurricane Katrina, and it follows Drusilla Jaco's, otherwise known as, DJ, misadventures after the storm. Her mentor is missing, she has managed to piss off Jean Lafitte, and a minor voodoo god has a bounty on her head. If that's not enough to keep her busy, her new partner, a ruthless, gun-toting enforcer, is convinced that her mentor has gone rogue and he's determined to track him down. Check back in a bit for my review of Royal Street, but for now, enjoy this excerpt from the book.
EXCERPT- ROYAL STREET by SUZANNE JOHNSON
Friday, August 26, 2005
"Once [Tropical Storm Katrina] moved over the gulf today, it was expected to wheel north, pick up speed and hit the Florida Panhandle on Sunday."
The New York Times
A secluded Louisiana bayou. A sexy pirate. Seduction and deceit. My Friday afternoon had the makings of a great romantic adventure, at least in theory.
In practice, angry mosquitoes were using me for target practice, humidity had ruined any prayer of a good hair day, and the pirate in question?the infamous Jean Lafitte?was two-hundred years old, armed, and carrying a six-pack of Paradise condoms in assorted fruit flavors.
I wasn't sure what unnerved me more—the fact that the historical undead had discovered erotic accessories, or that Lafitte felt the need to practice safe sex.
Nothing about the pirate looked safe. Tall and broad-shouldered, he had dark blue eyes and a smile twitching at the corners of his mouth as he watched me set two glasses and a bottle of dark rum on a rickety wooden table. A tanned, muscular chest peeked from his open-collared shirt, and shaggy dark hair framed a clean-shaven face. A jagged scar across his jaw reminded me the so-called gentleman pirate also had his ruthless side.
He'd arrived by way of a stolen boat at this isolated cabin near Delacroix, a half-hour outside New Orleans, to pursue two of the world's most timeless pleasures: sex and money. I'd met him here to play the role of a gullible young wizard falling under the spell of the legendary pirate, at least for a while. Then I'd do my duty as deputy sentinel and send his swashbuckling hide back to the Beyond, where he could rub shoulders with other undead legends and preternatural creatures unfit for polite human company.
My hand shook as I poured the rum, sloshing a few drops of amber liquid over the side of the glass. I'd finally been given a serious assignment, and I needed it to go without a hitch.
Lafitte's fingers brushed mine as he took the drink, sending an unexpected rush of energy up my arm. "Merci, Mademoiselle Jaco—or may I call you Drusilla?"
Actually, I'd prefer he didn't call me anything. Despite his obvious hopes for the evening, this wasn't a date. "Most people call me DJ."
"Bah," he said, taking a sip of rum. "Those are alphabet letters, not a name."
From beneath the red sash that accented his waist, Lafitte pulled a modern semiautomatic handgun and set it on the table next to the rum bottle. I knew how he'd gotten it—he'd rolled the Tulane student that summoned him, lifted the kid's wallet and iPod, rode the streetcar to Canal Street, and made a trade for the gun. Enterprising guy, Lafitte.
I pondered the odd spike of energy I'd gotten from his hand. Touching increases the emotional crap I absorb from people as an empath, but Lafitte was technically a dead guy. Still, I'd like to say if he touched me again, I'd demand double pay from the wizards' Congress of Elders. Triple if it involved lips.
But who was I kidding? My bargaining position was nonexistent. My boss Gerry only sent me on this run because he had something else to do and knew Lafitte might respond to my questionable seduction skills.
I'd pulled my unruly blonde hair out of its usual ponytail for the occasion, loaded on some makeup to play up my teal eyes, and poured myself into a little black skirt, short enough to show off my legs while not offending Lafitte's nineteenth-century sensibilities.
It must have worked, because the pirate was giving me that head-to-toe appraisal guys do on instinct, like they're assessing a juicy slab of beef and deciding whether they want it rare, medium, or well-done.
"You really are lovely, Drusilla." The timbre of Lafitte's voice shivered down my spine, and I fought the urge to check out the biceps underneath that linen shirt.
Holy crap. This was just wrong. I should not be absorbing his lust.

Sentinels of New Orleans Book One
Suzanne Johnson
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Tor Books
Number of pages: 337
Word Count: approx. 94,000
Cover Artist: Cliff Nielsen
Book Description:
As the junior wizard sentinel for New Orleans, Drusilla Jaco's job involves a lot more potion-mixing and pixie-retrieval than sniffing out supernatural bad guys like rogue vampires and lethal were-creatures. DJ's boss and mentor, Gerald St. Simon, is the wizard tasked with protecting the city from anyone or anything that might slip over from the preternatural beyond.
Then Hurricane Katrina hammers New Orleans' fragile levees, unleashing more than just dangerous flood waters. While winds howled and Lake Pontchartrain surged, the borders between the modern city and the Otherworld crumbled. Now the undead and the restless are roaming the Big Easy, and a serial killer with ties to voodoo is murdering soldiers sent to help the city recover.
To make it worse, Gerald St. Simon has gone missing, the wizards' Elders have assigned a grenade-toting assassin as DJ's new partner, and undead pirate Jean Lafitte wants to make her walk his plank. The search for Gerry and the killer turns personal when DJ learns the hard way that loyalty requires sacrifice, allies come from the unlikeliest places, and duty mixed with love creates one bitter roux.
River Road
Sentinels of New Orleans, Book 2
Suzanne Johnson
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Tor Books
Number of pages: 336
Word Count: approx. 92,000
Cover Artist: Cliff Nielsen
Book Description:
Hurricane Katrina is long gone, but the preternatural storm rages on in New Orleans. New species from the Beyond moved into Louisiana after the hurricane destroyed the borders between worlds, and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the preternaturals peaceful and the humans unaware. But a war is brewing between two clans of Cajun merpeople in Plaquemines Parish, and down in the swamp, DJ learns, there's more stirring than angry mermen and the threat of a were-gator.
Wizards are dying, and something—or someone—from the Beyond is poisoning the waters of the mighty Mississippi, threatening the humans who live and work along the river. DJ and Alex must figure out what unearthly source is contaminating the water and who—or what—is killing the wizards. Is it a malcontented merman, the naughty nymph, or some other critter altogether? After all, DJ's undead suitor, the pirate Jean Lafitte, knows his way around a body or two.
It's anything but smooth sailing on the bayou as the Sentinels of New Orleans series continues.

CAIRO (AP) — The Palestinian prime minister has warned that his government could fail to meet its obligations to its people because of a cash crunch, urging Arab countries to pay up promised aid.
Salam Fayyad met Sunday with Arab League members to discuss ways to raise $100 million in aid they pledged earlier to his Palestinian Authority. The Arab League chief said seven countries have responded favorably, but he did not name them.
Fayyad said his government's bid to gain recognition from the U.N. for a state of Palestine in November has so far led only to Israeli punitive measures, including halting monthly transfers of about $100 million in tax funds it collects on behalf of the Palestinians.
Fayyad said the cash shortage could cause the disintegration of the Palestinian Authority.

STOCKTON - Quality Sound in Stockton deals with the modern technology needed to install the complex configurations required to outfit out high schools, hospitals and other facilities with security, audiovisual, fire alarm and other systems.
STOCKTON - Quality Sound in Stockton deals with the modern technology needed to install the complex configurations required to outfit out high schools, hospitals and other facilities with security, audiovisual, fire alarm and other systems.
But when it was founded in Stockton 65 years ago, it was the place where local church choirs and University of the Pacific's Conservatory of Music went if they wanted to capture their music on records, said co-owners James Bryan, president, and Marv Langford, vice president.
There's an old RCA record lathe tucked away somewhere in the company's Stockton warehouse, which is chock full of equipment and rows of pallets awaiting delivery.
Quality Sound has changed drastically since it was established in 1948, but the 21st century business hasn't completely severed ties to its past.
Sounds do play a role in other jobs. Some of the work at schools means bringing audiovisual systems into schools or performing arts classrooms. But it goes well beyond sound, with the company installing systems to improve communication both within and outside a school.
And the next time you go to an Oakland A's or Raiders home game, the new sound system you're hearing at O.co Coliseum is courtesy of Stockton's Quality Sound.
"You can feel that chest thump all across the stadium," Langford said.
When the company was founded, terms like "quality" and "deluxe" were popular in business names, Langford said. Rather than change the name it had for decades, they just added the tag line "systems integration" to show how the company has moved beyond just sound.
But the company does still stand for quality, Bryan said. "We are what our name is."
And that means that the systems it installs and the services it provides are not driven by price, but by quality, he said.
Bryan started working at the company in 1968, and he bought it 12 years later. Once he became owner, he said his electrical engineering background caused him to steer the company away from its retail roots and toward larger, commercial projects.
Langford joined the com-pany in 1981.
Both were born and raised in Stockton, which has proved to be a good, central location for the business, Langford said. Most of the company's jobs are within an hour and a half drive from the city, but the company does have work farther afield.
The history of the company is as rooted in Stockton as its owners. While it still recorded records, it also rented out the equipment blasting the sounds heard by Stockton ears at decades worth of San Joaquin County Fairs and city fireworks shows.
And Quality Sound's owners look forward to a long future, too. A focus on the long term when dealing with customers is the secret of longevity, Langford said.
"Any job that we've done in the past, we can walk back in with our heads held high," he said.

Old English macian "to make, form, construct, do; prepare, arrange, cause; behave, fare, transform," from West Germanic *makōjanan "to fashion, fit" (source also of Old Saxon makon, Old Frisian makia "to build, make," Middle Dutch and Dutch maken, Old High German mahhon "to construct, make," German machen "to make"), from PIE root *mag- "to knead, fashion, fit." If so, sense evolution perhaps is via prehistoric houses built of mud. Gradually replaced the main Old English word, gewyrcan (see work (v.)).
Meaning "to arrive at" (a place), first attested 1620s, originally was nautical. Formerly used in many places where specific verbs now are used, such as to make Latin (c. 1500) "to write Latin compositions." This broader usage survives in some phrases, such as to make water "to urinate," to make a book "arrange a series of bets" (1828), make hay "to turn over mown grass to expose it to sun." Make the grade is 1912, perhaps from the notion of railway engines going up an incline.
Read the valuable suggestions in Dr. C.V. Mosby's book -- be prepared to surmount obstacles before you encounter them -- equipped with the power to "make the grade" in life's climb. [advertisement for "Making the Grade," December 1916]
But the phrase also was in use in a schoolwork context at the time. Make do "manage with what is available" is attested from 1867. Make time "go fast" is 1849; make tracks in this sense is from 1834. To make a federal case out of (something) popularized in 1959 movie "Anatomy of a Murder;" to make an offer (one) can't refuse is from Mario Puzo's 1969 novel "The Godfather." To make (one's) day is from 1909; menacing make my day is from 1971, popularized by Clint Eastwood in film "Sudden Impact" (1983). Related: Made; making.
make (n.)
"match, mate, companion" (now archaic or dialectal), from Old English gemaca "mate, equal; one of a pair, comrade; consort, husband, wife," from Proto-Germanic *gamakon-, related to Old English gemæcc "well-matched, suitable," macian "to make" (see make (v.)). Meaning "manner in which something is made, design, construction" is from c. 1300. Phrase on the make "intent on profit or advancement" is from 1869.

LONDON (AP) -- Emboldened by comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney was in such a position of strength at Manchester United in 2010 that he took on manager Alex Ferguson and won a lucrative new contract.
At that time, Rooney was at the peak of his powers, easily English football's star player. He seemed to believe he was too good for United, that the club wasn't matching his ambitions.
Less than three years later and the opposite may be true.
Ferguson's decision to drop Rooney - now behind Robin van Persie in the pecking order - for Tuesday's Champions League match against Real Madrid has left some to question the striker's future at Old Trafford.
Ten years ago, David Beckham was snubbed by Ferguson for a big Champions League match against Madrid - and then left United for the Spanish team at the end of the season. Ruud van Nistelrooy was left out of United's side for the 2006 League Cup final following an apparent rift with Ferguson and wasn't at the club the following campaign.
Rooney's plight - missing out on arguably United's biggest match since the 2011 Champions League final - was overshadowed by the game-changing red card awarded to Nani and the fact that Ronaldo scored the winner against his former club on an emotional night at Old Trafford.
Yet, it could well prove to be an intriguing side-issue for the rest of the season, for Rooney will never be short of suitors. British bookmaker William Hill has odds of 7-2 on Rooney leaving in the offseason, with Manchester City the favorite to sign him.
The reasons behind Ferguson's selection must be galling for Rooney. The coach suggested the player's fitness was an issue - "Wayne Rooney needs a game or two'' - despite Rooney having played 90 minutes against Norwich on Saturday, scoring a fabulous late goal and setting up two others in an impressive display.
Ferguson also said Danny Welbeck was the attacking player more suited to the defensive duties of shackling Xabi Alonso, the deep-lying playmaker who starts many of Madrid's attacks.
"Big decisions have to be made,'' United assistant manager Mike Phelan said.
And Ferguson has shown down the years he is not afraid to make them.
Until Nani was sent off, the tactics worked perfectly. Welbeck was United's best player, stunting Alonso's influence but also looking like his team's most dangerous player going forward.
However, he didn't score from two great chances and that is the point Rooney's many supporters will argue. Whereas Welbeck has scored only two goals for United this season, Rooney has 14 and would have been more likely to take those chances.
Rooney, brooding while sitting in United's dug-out, came on as a 73rd-minute substitute, all fired up. But couldn't change the game, missing a good chance when he hooked a close-range volley over.
His actions after the final whistle were telling. While the majority of United's players complained to the officials - Rio Ferdinand applauded sarcastically in Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir's face - Rooney was shaking hands with Madrid players.
Perhaps it is a sign of the new, mature Rooney. But usually he is one of the most emotional players out there, the first to be barking at the officials.
As United's players trudged off the pitch aggrieved at a sense of injustice by a refereeing call, Rooney could have been hurting for another reason.
"He'll be bitterly disappointed to be left out,'' former United midfielder Roy Keane said in his role as a TV analyst. "Wayne might be quite selfish about it and look at it and say the writing's on the wall for him.''
That's the same Keane who also had run-ins with Ferguson, notably after criticizing his teammates in an interview with in-house station MUTV in 2005.
Rooney has had to accept he is no longer the main striker at United since Van Persie's arrival in August and his contribution to United's surge to the Premier League title has been fleeting.
It's getting to the stage where pundits are applauding his determination and ability to track back to help his defense more than his impact as a goal scorer. Rooney has been playing on the left wing, behind the striker even in central midfield this season - and he surely sees himself as more than simply a glorified utility player.
Rooney's actions and body language are sure to be followed with increasing interest for the remainder of the season.

Lady Bucs go 2-0-0 as Gaughan posts two shutouts
MACON, Ga. (September 26, 2011) – Following her performance over the weekend in which she recorded two shutouts to lead ETSU to a 2-0-0 week, senior goalkeeper Caitlin Gaughan (Indianapolis, Ind.) received Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Week honors, the league office announced on Monday.
For the week, Gaughan made 11 saves off 24 shots faced to record her third and fourth shutouts of the season and improve her record to 6-3-0. With the two clean sheets, Gaughan now ranks second in the A-Sun in shutouts and leads the conference with a goals against average of 0.85.
On Friday, the Lady Bucs opened up the conference season at home against USC Upstate. Scoring two goals in each half, ETSU won, 4-0, as Gaughan kept the Spartans off the scoreboard with one save off five shots faced.
On Sunday, UNC Asheville came into Summers-Taylor Stadium and suffered the same fate as Upstate did on Friday. The Bulldogs fell behind early when the Lady Bucs scored two goals in the game's opening 20 minutes, and Gaughan looked spectacular again. The senior keeper faced a barrage of 19 shots, but met every challenge Asheville could muster through a career-high 10 saves to keep the Bulldogs scoreless.
This marks the first time Gaughan has been named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week, and she is the first Lady Buc to earn the honor since Rachel Van Horn did so the week of October 15, 2007.

With 17 fourth-quarter points, the Bengals have broken open Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Dre Kirkpatrick's 21-yard interception return gave the Bengals a 34-17 lead vs. Baltimore with a little more than four minutes left in regulation.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has been intercepted three times in the final quarter. The first one set up a Bengals field goal that extended Cincinnati's lead to 10 points, with the last two picks coming with the Ravens in obvious passing situations.
The Ravens will be eliminated from postseason contention with a loss.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Sleep-deprived Nevada lawmakers quickly passed all five bills they had to deal with in a special session called overnight by Gov. Brian Sandoval.
The Republican ordered the session before dawn Tuesday after lawmakers failed to take final action on a handful of measures in the four-month regulation session that ended just hours earlier at midnight.
Legislators passed measures dealing with class-size reduction, charter schools, tax abatements for new businesses, money for a scholarship fund and more police officers in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas.
"I think it was a fabulous session," Sandoval, looking crisp despite being up for 28 hours straight, told reporters minutes after the final votes were taken Tuesday.
He said he decided to call a special session because legislators "were very close to getting it done" and the issues left hanging were important for public safety, education and Nevada's economy.
"They just ran out of time," Sandoval said of the lawmakers.
During the night, legislators curled up in chairs and on couches to wait out the pre-dawn hours. Muffled snores wafted from the reception area of Democratic leadership offices, where three women snoozed sitting upright on a sofa while Assemblyman David Bobzien, D-Reno, sprawled out in a chair.
Legislative leaders who spent all night in the Capitol called members of their party after Sandoval signed the proclamation.
When legislators began dribbling back to chambers around 4 a.m., nerves were frayed and tempers short.
Republican Sen. Greg Brower, R-Reno, berated the Democratic majority as "a model of inefficiency and leadership." A Democratic colleague, Sen. Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas, retorted that Republicans took time Monday night to honor termed-out colleagues who wouldn't be returning.
"If there's mismanagement, it was all around," he said.
Monday night marked a crazy finish to a regular session that will be remembered for the expulsion of a troubled lawmaker, historic votes on gay marriage, driving privileges for people living in the country illegally, gun control and tax reform.
In between there were fights and oratories over sports bets, election bets, dangerous dogs, state dogs, state cocktails, tax credits, tax abatements, local government, the federal government and raw milk.
But the last few hours were frenzied, leaving bills to die in the chaos that came to an end at midnight when a clerk in the Senate counted down the seconds to the deadline and declared time was up. The session began Feb. 4 and was limited to 120 days.
The first weeks dealt with the expulsion of Steven Brooks, who became the first legislator expelled in Nevada since statehood after a string of public incidents and arrests.
It was the first session since the Great Recession put Nevada's economy in a vise grip that testimony in money committees wasn't dominated by doom, gloom and finding more places in the budget to cut.
Nevada's mining industry, a frequent target when lawmakers go looking for money, was in the bulls-eye. Legislators gave final approval to a proposed constitutional amendment to lift the 5 percent cap on net proceeds of minerals, a move that would allow the Legislature to adjust the tax rate. That measure will be on the 2014 ballot for voter ratification.
Lawmakers debated taxes but failed in the end to pass tax reform.
The 2013 session also exhibited new twists on social issues.
A proposal to repeal Nevada's constitutional definition of marriage and legalize gay marriage spurred soul-searching debates late one night on the Senate floor.
"I'm black. I'm gay," declared Sen. Kelvin Atkinson, thrusting the North Las Vegas Democrat into the national spotlight. The Legislature approved a bill to abolish the Protection of Marriage Act ratified by voters in 2002 and declare that Nevada will recognize all marriages regardless of gender. If approved again by the 2015 Legislature, it will go to voters in 2016.
Tens of thousands of people will be able to drive on Nevada roadways under a bipartisan bill authorizing driver privilege cards for people in the country illegally. Sandoval, Nevada's first Hispanic governor, signed that measure surrounded by Democratic and Republican legislators and members of Nevada's growing Hispanic community.

Marlins surprised by Samson's early 'Survivor' exit
JUPITER, Fla. -- David Samson has run marathons, participated in triathlons and served as the Marlins' president since 2002.
There is enough of a track record to show that Samson tends to finish what he starts, which is exactly why some of the Marlins were stunned that his stint on "Survivor: Cagayan" lasted just one episode.
JUPITER, Fla. -- David Samson has run marathons, participated in triathlons and served as the Marlins' president since 2002.
There is enough of a track record to show that Samson tends to finish what he starts, which is exactly why some of the Marlins were stunned that his stint on "Survivor: Cagayan" lasted just one episode.
The 28th season of the series premiered Wednesday night on CBS, and Samson was the first of 18 cast members to get voted off the island. The tribe spoke, and what it said caught several Marlins by surprise.
"When I watched it, I didn't think there was a chance he would go," said Tom Koehler, who is competing for the fifth-starter spot. "The way they made it seem, they made it seem like he was safe. I guess they do that on purpose to get that little shock factor in the first episode."
Closer Steve Cishek got into the show, and he was flabbergasted by the outcome. Samson's nemesis turned out to be Garrett, another member of the Brains Tribe.
Early in the show, Samson was selected by his teammates as the Brains' leader. His first executive decision was to part with the weakest link, which he identified as Garrett.
Samson immediately viewed Garrett as a threat, but at tribal council, the Marlins' president ended up voting to eliminate J'Tia, a nuclear engineer, who botched the building of a shelter. Garrett, meanwhile, rallied support to oust Samson.
"It was actually kind of a shame, because [Samson] was right the whole time," Cishek said. "I can't believe the other girl made it through two rounds. She was like a nuclear physicist or whatever, and she couldn't even put blocks together. It was infuriating."
In all, Samson stayed three days on the island before the first challenge, which the Brains failed miserably.
"I was surprised. I don't know why they pick who they pick," Koehler said. "When I watched the show, it looked like there were other people I would have voted off. But there are other things that happen behind the scenes that you don't really see.
"There's obviously a reason he was the one to go home. Some of them said he was the biggest threat for them going forward. I guess that's why they got rid of him right away."
Garrett was ousted by the remaining Brains at the conclusion of Wednesday's episode.
The series was filmed in the Philippines last summer, and the results were kept quiet.
"I'm sure it was a great experience for him," manager Mike Redmond said. "I haven't really had a chance to talk to him about it. I haven't watched a whole lot of 'Survivor.' I don't really know if I could do it, either."
Cishek felt Samson did nothing to deserve getting the boot right away. But the unpredictability of "Survivor," and the fact that each contestant's fate is in the hands of others, is what makes the show so captivating.
"It's kind of ridiculous," Cishek said. "Put me on 'Wipeout,' where I can control my own destiny."

Student Generated Questions
Hello everyone,
Here is a student centred activity for any reading text but the text needs to have enough paragraphs so that every student can ask questions about those paragraphs.
1. Each student gets a slip of paper with a question number written on it.
2. Whatever number is written on the student's slip, the student has to read that paragraph and prepare a question about that paragraph. If you do it this way, then the questions are in the same order as the information appears on the text. But if you wish the students to ask questions about different paragraphs , then students can draw numbers from a bag and work on that paragraph. This means that the number on the slip of paper does not correspond with the paragraph number.This also means that the questions are not in the same order the information in the text appears.
3. After each student has written his/her question on the slip of paper, the teacher checks whether the question is correct or not.
4. After the teacher has checked the question, the student puts his slip of paper on the floor.
5. When all the questions are on the floor, each student takes a piece of paper and answers each question one by one by standing up and getting the slip and answering it and putting it back to the floor so that other students can also answer it. the students have to write the answers in their notebooks.
6. The teacher could also set a time limit. All the questions are checked afterwards.
Good luck.

What if you could outsource retirement? "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" took a cast loaded with British talent — Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy among them — to India to find out. The fish-out-of-England romantic comedy did boffo business. With a $10-million budget, it has grossed more than $135 million worldwide since its May release, making it Fox Searchlight's highest-grossing specialty film of 2012.
Director John Madden ("Shakespeare in Love,") and writer Ol Parker were in town recently to chat about the film, playing off each other like a seasoned comedy team.
Were you surprised that the film struck such a chord internationally?
Madden: The honest answer is, you don't have any idea it will connect in quite that way. I will tell you one thing, though, it's a very funny, witty script, among other things ...
Parker: Above all, it's a witty script.
Madden: And I do absolutely say that because the writer's sitting next to me.
The film's success crushes the theory that older audiences don't go out to see movies.
Madden: I think that's been guessed at for a while; it's true that their experience hasn't been addressed. Suddenly now there are a lot of movies being made that speak to that kind of audience, and that's terrific.

Sara Knutson Cullen was as comfortable in a dress and stiletto heels as she was smoking cigars and flying Black Hawk helicopters in Afghanistan — a driven and level-headed 27-year-old whose dreams stretched far beyond her roots in Carroll County, family and friends said Sunday.
Cullen, a captain in the U.S. Army, died along with four other Army members in a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan last Monday, the Department of Defense said. She is the first Marylander killed in Afghanistan this year.
Friends and family of the Eldersburg native said Cullen died doing something she loved, that she was drawn to in spite of — or perhaps because of — the challenges and the risks.
"She was always looking for the next adventure, the next challenge, the next task to being a better person," said Katie Owens, her best friend.
NATO reported the crash of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter last week. Initial reports indicated there was no enemy activity in the area at the time, the coalition said. The incident remains under investigation, the Pentagon said Saturday.
According to the U.S. Military Academy alumni website west-point.org, Cullen served previously at Fort Wainwright in Alaska and deployed on a humanitarian mission to Pakistan. The website said the helicopter crash occurred during a training mission in heavy rain.
Cullen, a 2003 graduate of Liberty High School and a 2007 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, kept a tight-knit circle of girlfriends who met in the fourth grade at Freedom Elementary School in Sykesville. As their lives diverged, the women could still gather around Owens' mother's kitchen table and talk for hours. Cullen rarely talked about her job, friends said, and instead the group chatted about lighter topics, like dating.
"She was your words of wisdom," Owens said. "Plenty of times, I just needed to talk to her because she put things in perspective."
In November, Cullen married Chris Cullen, a former Black Hawk pilot whom she met while stationed in Alaska a few years ago. The ceremony and reception were held in downtown Baltimore, and their loved ones danced all evening.
Cullen's mother, Lynn Knutson, said that at the point when the wedding DJ was supposed to announce the last dance, the couple asked him to instead put on "God Bless America," which the wedding-goers belted out at the top of their lungs.
"Sara didn't just settle down for anybody," Owens said. "They were happy."
Knutson described her daughter as a fun-loving woman with a beautiful singing voice and a contagious laugh. Cullen loved fashion, so her announcement that she wanted to go into the military came as a surprise, Knutson said.
"We were like, 'Do you know you'll have to wear a uniform?'" Knutson recalled.
Knutson and Cullen's friends said that kind of contradiction was a key part of her personality. Cullen's interests were diverse: camping and the outdoors, getting dressed up to go dancing all night, and long conversations. To spur debate, her mother said, she would take the opposite position as the rest of the class on college term papers.
Cullen had recently begun to talk to her mother and friends about possibly applying to law school, and her mother mailed her an LSAT manual.
"She wanted to do something big with her life," said Lindsay Podobnik Holbig, a close childhood friend. "She didn't let other people hold her back or stop her."
At one point when Cullen was stationed in Alaska, her parents visited. Knutson said Cullen showed them a machine that simulated the experience of flying a Black Hawk.
"It's probably the most difficult thing she could learn to do," Knutson said, describing the physical dexterity and years of study required to fly the helicopters.
Cullen and her husband bought a house in Georgia, not far from where her parents chose to retire in South Carolina, before she was deployed in January. Chris Cullen took a job with a military contractor in Afghanistan shortly after her deployment began. The couple would meet on weekends, or in the morning for coffee.
Cullen was one of two service academy graduates from Maryland killed in unrelated air crashes Monday.
Navy Lt. j.g. Valerie Cappelaere Delaney, 26, a 2009 Naval Academy graduate from Ellicott City, died when the EA-6B Prowler jet she was piloting crashed during training near Spokane, Wash.
In Afghanistan, Cullen was killed along with Staff Sgt. Steven P. Blass, 27, of Estherville, Iowa; Chief Warrant Officer Bryan J. Henderson, 27, of Franklin, La.; Staff Sgt. Marc A. Scialdo, 31, of Naples, Fla.; and Spec. Zachary L. Shannon, 21, of Dunedin, Fla. All were assigned to elements of the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade at Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia.
The crash and the deaths of two special operations troops shot by an Afghan policeman made Monday the deadliest day for U.S. troops in Afghanistan this year, accounting for half the 14 troops killed in 2013.
Holbig, one of several in Cullen's close circle of friends, said that when they gather again around the kitchen table without her, it wouldn't be the same.
"She was her own person," Holbig said. "What she did at 27 years old, we would say, in our lifetime we would never achieve the things she did."
Baltimore Sun reporter Matthew Hay Brown contributed to this article.

** (out of four)
Here's the rotten thing about destroying humongous mystical beings: Kill one, and everyone expects you to kill 'em all.
So after ousting the Kraken in "Clash of the Titans" (a movie that also had plenty of wrath), Perseus (ever-bland Sam Worthington) can't raise his son peacefully without his dad, Zeus (Liam Neeson), expecting Perseus to save the world again. That comes even before the betrayal of Zeus' backstabbing son Ares (Edgar Ramirez), who's such a jerk that even Hades (Ralph Fiennes) tells him to calm down.
Some semi-amusing jokes every so often modulate "Wrath of the Titans" to elevate it above "Clash," a mediocre remake that replaced its 1981 predecessor's outdated effects with maximum seriousness and empty bombast. Yet "Wrath" similarly gets bogged down in a mess of overblown bloodshed and characters yelling each other's names.
Director Jonathan Liebesman ("Battle: Los Angeles," which no one liked but me) taps into some basic notions of fatherly responsibility but still fights a lose-lose battle--alternating between dull, repetitive chatter about old family squabbles and action sequences that mostly look like an expensive mess. "Wrath of the Titans" delivers giant hands made of fire and two-headed demons and 3-D CGI up the wazoo. Big freakin' deal. Large does not automatically equal awesome.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (April 17, 2007) - A day after receiving Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Week honors, freshman Marissa Hardy (Rocklin, Calif.) etched her name into the ETSU record books as she became the first pitcher in school history to toss a no-hitter Tuesday night. Hardy retired 18 of the 19 batters she faced, and the Bucs cruised past Virginia Intermont 8-0 at
With the win, ETSU ended its two-game slide and improved its record to 23-22, while Virginia Intermont fell to 19-8 overall.
The Bucs kicked things off with three runs in the first thanks to four consecutive hits from Katy Jett (Talbot, Tenn.), Jessie Hackworth (
Hardy, making only her second collegiate start, cruised right along as she retired the first 13 Lady Cobra batters she faced, until Celia Henline became the only base runner to reach, when Cheniece Cason (Moreno Valley, Calif.) had trouble fielding a grounder at short. The error did not affect Hardy in the circle, because settled right back into her groove and retired the next five batters.
After allowing four runs on five hits through the first two innings, Henline entered in relief and retired 12 straight ETSU batters; however, fielding blunders haunted the Lady Cobras in the sixth. Caitlin Zyskowski's (Grand Rapids, Mich.) three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning put ETSU up 8-0, which ended the game with the mercy rule. The Lady Cobras could have sent the Bucs down in order, but two errors prolonged the inning, giving Zyskowski the chance to end the game early. Jett scored the first run of the inning when Vercoe reached on an error by Lindsay Smith at first.
Hardy was near perfect Tuesday night as she did not issue a walk and posted a season-high eight strikeouts. The Rocklin,
The Bucs will now have a quick turnaround as they face Radford on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at Dedmon Center Field. For live stats of the Wednesday's game please visit www.ruhighlanders.com.

Atashin'chi, Nube and Sorcerer Hunters come to mind. At least they're relatively unknown to me.
"Memento Mori. When the nineth lion ate the sun."
im gonna toss out King of Bandit Jing (short series but pretty good) Blue Seed (not sure how to descibe this one) Irrisponsible Captain Tylor (good comedy) 12 Kingdoms (very worth watching) and last but not least Heroic Age (another not sure how to describe) almost forgot the one that got me into anime Armitage the III
i swear most of these anime that legit are just way to old. others are pretty popular and known, just the hype is no where where it used to be.
and the person stating bleach and naruto, lol made my night. now back to studying for my exam.
on my way to my DREAMS- your smile - through food
I'm surprised by how many people are listing things that were released on DVD in English, and a lot of it is still readily available in the retail channel... That stuff isn't rare.
So, I'll go with The Squash Seller.
It's a rare short film by Masaaki Yuasa. As far as I know, it never made it to DVD, nor was it ever fansubbed.
needs sleep, and lots of it.
Dominion Tank Police, of which this exact image is forever burned in my mind :
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
How about Windaria? It's certainly old as hell.
As far as things I'd choke a bitch for, Mermaid's Scar on VHS. Knew I shoulda just kept that shit from Blockbuster back in the day.
Saw someone mentioned Devil Hunter Yohko; I have that as well.
My first and still my favorite anime is also one that probably is not well known, especially to younger viewers.
Kimagure Orange Road.
48 episodes and a movie from 1987.
Its well worth the time to watch it if you've never seen it before.
Synopsis from wikipedia:
"Teenage romance meets fantasy in this series as a love triangle develops between the main character, an indecisive esper named Kyōsuke Kasuga, Madoka Ayukawa, a mercurial and enigmatic girl with a tough past, and Hikaru Hiyama, Madoka's ditzy and energetic best friend. Kyōsuke falls in love with Madoka, and Madoka wants to return those feelings, but can not because of Hikaru's involvement with Kyōsuke."
I would have to say that Hyper Speed Grandoll and Maps were fun anime that I wish could have been more than just ovas.
Currently have the courage to be a lazy bum!
crying freeman, nobody cared about it except me, bc I'm a misogynist and it was really bad which attracted me.
Does anybody remember Viz Manga heroes? Genocyber was intense, back in my day.

Okay, I'm better now. I just can't stand the thought of KOR being considered "Rare" or "Unknown". To an anime fan of my vintage, that's almost sacrilege. But.... (cringe), I guess you're probably right about this. Sigh.
I had a bit of a similar reaction to the previous poster who mentioned Haibane Renmei and Serial Experiments Lain.
The good news is, if some of these younger folks get the message and start digging these titles up, they have a lot of great anime waiting them. Just as long as they don't do like my sons do. (Take one look, say, "It's not in HD? The heck with this!" and go watch something else. Very frustrating.)

Now and Then, Here and There
An absolute CLASSIC of anime that is not well known outside of Japan sadly. An anime about the terrible emotional and psychological cost of war and how it affects children. It also talks about things like rape, child-soldiers, torture, war-crimes...etc. It's a really deep show and it's not for everyone.
The plot is basically this: In order to save a young girl, the main character is transported from modern Japan into a world torn by war in every possible way, and suffering from a severe lack of water.
This is a series for anyone wanting a deep, thought-provoking, tragic and gripping show. It's only 13 episodes, but has a truly sad ending.
This made me go look for it and I watched it last night..stayed up till about 3:30am watching the entire 13 episodes!
Your review didn't let me down at all!
I have suggested this to a couple friends, it should be watched more!

The otaku is strong with this one...
Congratulations on hitting one of the real treasures out there.
I've been doing the old man gripe about young folks not knowing about various titles from the 90's and back, but it occurs to me there are also some much newer titles to tell people about.
First on my list is "Dennou Coil". If you like good science fiction, especially of the near-future variety and with a touch of the surreal, this is a great choice. Sadly, unless you have a region 4 DVD player and understand Japanese, you have to go underground for this one; despite being an award-winning series from Madhouse and Bandai, it somehow never managed to get licensed in the English speaking world.
(CR take note!)
"Texhnolyze" has received a couple mentions already, but I want to add my own "Oh heck yes!" to the chorus.
I'm not entirely certain how obsure "Tokyo Underground" is to the younger crowd; it's one of the many titles that disappeared into Geneon Limbo and may still be stuck there. The manga is better, but the anime is still pretty good.
If you enjoyed the gut-wrenching mind-f&*k that was "Madoka Magica", then "Shadow Star Narutaru" and "Alien 9" may both be right up your alley. If you didn't enjoy it, then stay the crap away from both of these titles. I mean it. Really.
And.. I just realized that "Hare + Guu" is now more than ten years old... someone please tell me it isn't considered "obscure"!!!

/ Artworks / Monument / Obelisk of Distances
The Obelisk of Distances was erected in 1818 as an official starting point for measuring all the road distances in New South Wales, and it continues to perform this function today. Also known as the Macquarie Obelisk , it was erected by Governor Macquarie in what was then the geographic centre point of Sydney.
The monument was also the 'symbolic peg' indicating the furthest extent of the British Empire in the early 1800s. From a contemporary perspective it also reflects the process of superimposing European notions of time and space on the antipodean environment.
The Obelisk is apparently the earliest surviving monument in the colony, probably built by convict labour.
The monument it is a tall, tapering shaft of sandstone approximately six metres high on a rectangular base and pedestal. It is set below street level, approached on both sides by flights of steps, and surrounded by a ring of wrought iron railing.
The once prominent position of the Obelisk has been been eroded over time by the encroachment of roads. There was originally a surrounding wall which had design elements reflecting those on the Obelisk itself.
Francis Greenway (1777-1837) was an English architect transported to Australia for the crime of forgery, arriving in Sydney in 1814. In New South Wales he worked for the Governor, Lachlan Macquarie, as Australia's first Government architect and is well known for buildings such as St James' Church Sydney and Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney.

WebM is an open web media project headed up by Google, aimed at developing "a high-quality, open video format for the web that's freely available to everyone." However, it's only for HTML 5 websites to stream videos online and few portable devices and players currently support playing this kind of files. Normally, you can't directly import a WebM files to Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. Fortunately, there are two easy ways to fix the problem. Read on to learn more.
This is a free way to get Adobe Premiere working with WebM files. If you're editing WebM files with Premiere Pro CS6, chances are you already installed this great free WebM open movie plugin for Premiere. If not, download it from
Zero Maria Cornejo Ribbon Print Stretch Silk Dress Blue hgYajJGs8
Designed with video professionals in mind, the plug-in exposes more advanced VP9 features such as 4:4:4 video sampling and 10/12-bit pixel buffers. For minimum clutter, only the most important encoding parameters have interface controls, while dozens of other settings can be adjusted using the custom arguments text field.
It's great for us to get the free plugin for Adobe Premiere to support for Google's WebM video format. But the plugin doesn't just add WebM support to Premiere Pro CC. If you're using a WebM file in Premiere Pro CC, the easy workaround is to convert WebM to Premiere Pro CC compatible video formats such as MPEG-2. It might be a bit time consuming but it works.
To convert WebM to Premiere Pro CC, you can adopt EaseFab
Video Converter for Mac
for help. By running it, there's no need to set the codec yourself: the program has optimized presets for Adobe Premiere (Premiere CC included). You can convert any video file to Adobe Premiere compatible format without loosing quality. If you're using a Windows PC, please turn to the

Simple steps to convert WebM to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro CC
Step 1. Import WebM videos
Install and run the WebM to FCP Converter on your Mac, then run it. Click on "Add Video", and browse your files, select all the WebM files you wanna convert. This application supports batch conversion, so you can add more than one file at a time.
Step 2. Select output format
Click "Profile" pull down list to select "Vegas/Premiere (MPEG-2)" as the best video format for Premiere Pro. WMV, MOV formats are the good choice as well.
Tip: If you would like to customize the video and audio parameters, you can click "Settings", adjust the parameters as you want, like Video Codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sampling rate, bit rate, channels.
Step 3. Start transcoding WebM files to Premiere
Finally, click "Convert" button to start transcoding WebM video to MPG for importing to Premiere Pro CC.
When the conversion task is finished, click "Open" button to get the exported files and then import the converted WebM files into Adobe Premiere Pro CC to do further editing.

Python 3.7 is
officially released
! This new Python version has been in development since
Valentino Garavani Rockstud Leather Ballerinas Pink AABRvR9
, and now we all get to enjoy the results of the core developers' hard work.
What does the new Python version bring? While the
Dorothy Perkins Little Mistress Blue Crochet Midi Dress QoTlv6XpTk
gives a good overview of the new features, this article will take a deep dive into some of the biggest pieces of news. These include:
More importantly, Python 3.7 is fast.
In the final sections of this article, you'll read more about this speed, as well as some of the other cool features of Python 3.7. You will also get some advice on upgrading to the new version.
While we might strive to write perfect code, the simple truth is that we never do. Debugging is an important part of programming. Python 3.7 introduces the new built-in function
. This does not really add any new functionality to Python, but it makes using debuggers more flexible and intuitive.
Assume that you have the following buggy code in the file
Running the code causes a
inside the
function. Let's say that you want to interrupt your code and drop into a
right at the top of
. You can do so by setting a so called "breakpoint" in your code:
A breakpoint is a signal inside your code that execution should temporarily stop, so that you can look around at the current state of the program. How do you place the breakpoint? In Python 3.6 and below, you use this somewhat cryptic line:
Here, is the Python Debugger from the standard library. In Python 3.7, you can use the new
function call as a shortcut instead:
In the background,
is first importing
and then calling
for you. The obvious benefits are that
is easier to remember and that you only need to type 12 characters instead of 27. However, the real bonus of using
is its customizability.
Run your
script with
The script will break when it reaches
and drop you into a PDB debugging session. You can type
and hit
to continue the script. Refer to
Nathan Jennings' PDB guide
if you want to learn more about PDB and debugging.
Now, say that you think you've fixed the bug. You would like to run the script again but without stopping in the debugger. You could, of course, comment out the
line, but another option is to use the
environment variable. This variable controls the behavior of
, and setting
means that any call to
is ignored:

Shaheen, Brown matchup expected to be a pricey raceBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 12. 2014 9:13PM
The anticipated U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Scott Brown is expected to be a costly campaign for both sides, and the money is already flowing in.
Shaheen voluntarily released her campaign finance report on Thursday, well in advance of the April 15 filing deadline for the first quarter of 2014 set by the Federal Election Commission.
The former governor had her best three months of fundraising since being elected to the Senate in 2009, according to Communications Director Harrell Kirstein.
Once the Brown candidacy advanced from theory to reality, the donations increased substantially.
The Shaheen campaign is expected to report to the FEC that $1.5 million was raised from Jan. 1 to March 31 from 26,689 donors, more than double the 12,000 donors of the last quarter in 2013.
Shaheen has accumulated a $7.3 million war chest for the November election, some of which has already been spent, since the campaign reported it has only $4.3 million cash on hand.
In releasing her spending report prior to the FEC deadline, Shaheen hopes to bring attention to the number of donors and to the fact that Brown has, so far, refused to discourage money from outside groups.
"Ninety-six percent of (Shaheen's) contributions came from grass-roots donors who gave less than $250," according to Kirstein. "Our campaign is proud of all the grass-roots support to date, and we're confident we'll have the resources we'll need to win in November."
People's Pledge
Shaheen has pressed Brown to sign the People's Pledge, a pact he agreed to in his unsuccessful effort to keep the Massachusetts Senate seat he won in a special election after the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren won that race, but the pact between the two minimized the influence of Political Action Committees and third-party donors.
Common Cause and Public Citizen, two groups that advocate for transparency and accountability in government, have asked Brown and Shaheen to meet and develop a People's Pledge designed for the New Hampshire campaign, and they hope for a reply by April 15.
The Brown campaign declined to offer a preview of his campaign finance report and does not appear inclined to discourage third-party contributions this time around. He still has to defeat several primary opponents in September.
'Dark money' is flowing
The "Independent Expenditure Search" on the FEC website revealed that a lot of money has already been spent in New Hampshire on Brown's behalf by the Ending Spending Action Fund.
According to OpenSecrets.org, "Ending Spending is a conservative nonprofit group that focuses on federal spending and the national debt. The group does not disclose its donors."
As soon as it became apparent that Brown would run, Ending Spending started spending. The political action committee paid $60,136 to an ad agency for media placement on April 3 and $10,086 for media production on April 8 in support of the Brown campaign, according to the FEC reports.
A search for independent expenditures going back to Jan. 1 did not turn up any for Shaheen, although they are likely to be forthcoming if there is no agreement between the two candidates. Most third-party money, or "dark money," is spent on negative campaign ads targeting the opponent.
The issue has moved front and center in the wake of two Supreme Court rulings that eased or eliminated restrictions on third-party money - the Citizens United ruling in 2009, which struck down restrictions on independent political spending by corporations and unions; and the McCutcheon ruling on April 2, which abolished limits to how much one individual could give to political campaigns.
Voters disagree
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey released Thursday suggests that voters, by a 2-to-1 ratio, disagree with those rulings.
Of those surveyed, 54 percent feel the government should regulate how much money can be given to political campaigns; 29 percent disagree; and 16 percent are undecided.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from April 3 to 4 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
It also revealed that there is a limit to how much campaign contributions can accomplish.
"Voters still think it's a candidate's views and not campaign contributions that provide the winning edge in an election," Rasmussen reports.
Brown will first have to defeat three challengers in the Republican primary - former Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Smith, state Sen. Jim Rubens and conservative activist Karen Testerman.
Money will flow to whichever candidate wins the Republican nomination, according to Rubens.
"The millions in big money necessary to defeat Jeanne Shaheen in November will follow the candidate who wins the September primary," he said in a statement issued Thursday.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The former IT director in the office of the prosecutor who tried George Zimmerman has filed a lawsuit against his former boss, claiming he was unlawfully fired.
Ben Kruidbos filed the lawsuit against State Attorney Angela Corey's office on Thursday.
He is seeking more than $5 million in damages.
Kruidbos contends he was fired in retaliation for testifying at a hearing in which Zimmerman's attorneys were seeking sanctions against prosecutors.
Kruidbos was fired last month and accused of misconduct after he testified in June about retrieving evidence from Trayvon Martin's cellphone the defense contends wasn't disclosed.
Judge Debra Nelson postponed the sanctions hearing until after Zimmerman's trial.
Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime last month for fatally shooting Martin last year.

BOSTON — Bruins President Cam Neely touched on a couple subjects of interest to me during and after the State of the Bruins town hall meeting tonight at TD Garden.
In response to a question from an audience member, Neely acknowledged that the Bruins are actively looking to upgrade their practice facilities.
After the town hall, I asked if he could expand on that.
"Obviously, you've seen [Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington] is fine, it's just more the space for players," Neely said. "Whether it's in Wilmington or whether it's somewhere else, we're unsure. But we know we have to do something. And we do want to do something."
Rumors have abounded for years that the Bruins would move their practice facility elsewhere. Now we at least know for sure they're looking to get something done somewhere to provide their players with some more state-of-the art.
•Also, Neely announced during the town hall that on Oct. 28 the Bruins will honor Milt Schmidt's 75 years with the organization. Obviously, those aren't continuous years of service because Schmidt was the GM in Washington in the 70s. Nonetheless, it's a great idea to honor the franchise's history some more after the tribute to the '70 team last season.
There are still numerous sweater numbers that should be honored or retired in the future, including those of Wayne Cashman, Gerry Cheevers and Rick Middleton. Neely acknowledged he'd like to figure out a way to make the Bruins' history a major part of their present.
"There's been a number of discussions over the years about honoring certain players, whether it's a Bruins Hall of Fame. I know some other teams have started to do that. So it's something we'll definitely look at because there's been a lot of great players that have come through this locker room."
