FISC Says It Will Declassify Ruling That Forced Yahoo Into PRISM
from the how-much-black-ink-will-they-use-up? dept
The Government shall conduct a declassification review of this Court's Memorandum Opinion of April 25, 2008, and (2) the legal briefs submitted by the parties to this Court in this matter. After such review, the Court anticipates publishing that Memorandum Opinion in a form that redacts any properly classified information.Of course, given the government's history of over-redacting, I fully expect a document with a ridiculous amount of black ink applied (invest now in black ink!). However, I do wonder if this is part of the various FISC judges realizing that there's been a fairly strong outcry against their secret court with a big rubber stamp.

Things We've Learned So Far
-anyone who ever thought that Karlheinz Schreiber could suddenly become a reliable witness, from which one could unravel the "mystery" needs their head examined
-the only people who still care about Mulroney/Shreiber are the media and the PMO
-Karlheinz Schreiber has a bad skin condition
-Kady O'Malley has bionic fingers
-the "bombshell" will come when CBC Newsworld gets the ratings report for the inquiry coverage (I think we've found a cure for insomnia)
-news reports will be filled with feeble attempts to make it appear as though new information has been gleamed, partially because reporters are trying to justify how they got saddled with this lame gig
-some pundit will refer to "tomorrow" as a potentially big day in the proceedings
-we need an inquiry to find out why this inquiry was necessary

I for one find the whole "nothing to see here" attitude from Liberal supporters now with respect to this inquiry a bit annoying when it was the LIBERALS who were the LOUDEST voices calling for it in the first place.
I supported the inquiry and still do. Didn't you support it when it was called too? What's changed? If this is "old news" now, why was it not "old news" over a year ago when the inquiry was called and Liberals supported it?
Some consistency would be nice. I think these are serious allegations and I don't see why Liberals are so quick to cut Mulroney some slack as this poor old wonderful PM that we should be pitying all of a sudden. Yes I know the Libs still officially support the inquiry but this turn on a dime sympathy for Mulroney is bizarre, sure Harper's treatment of him is obsecene and unjustifiable (and stupid from a political and party unity perspective as well) but it doesn't mean we Liberals need to be cutting Mulroney any slack ourselves.
And now there's a video making the rounds on Liberal blogs where we are supposed to feel great sympathy for poor saintly Mulroney bc Stephen Harper was mean to him? Give me a break. Brian Mulroney said WORSE things about other people himself, including A LOT of Liberals such as Trudeau and his cabinet ministers, so he's not to be pitied.
So what gives, seriously? Can't we just say they were both terrible but Harper is worse? And why did people like you support this inquiry in the first place if it's so worthless now?

Oh, so I speak for the party. Who knew...Truth of the matter, this story has bored me for years and after watching Schreiber in committee, it was obvious this guy is so unreliable, it's a waste of time.
BTW, from my blog Nov 2007

"Don't Care"
I'm pretty sure I'll be in the minority on this one, but I react to the whole Mulroney saga with a gigantic yawn.
About the only use I saw was distracting the media from bludgeoning Dion.

Fair enough Steve and I do like consistency. Perhaps I'm overgeneralizing but Liberal blogs as a whole seem to be a lot more Mulroney friendly (the Mulroney sympathy video going around on several Lib blogs is further evidnece) than they used to be and I just don't get it. I suppose it's done to maybe make Harper look like an asshole for being well such an asshole to a former PM, but I don't think you need to make Mulroney look good to make Harper look bad and have to try to create sympathy for him. They were both bad, just Harper is worse. Doesn't mean Mulroney doesn't still deserve to be harshly criticized for his record and character while in office.
I don't think Mulroney is worth any pity and since he called for this inquiry himself deserves to get whatever shady embarassing details come out of this inquiry.
- 4:19 PM, April 16, 2009
- Steve V said...
"and I do like consistency."
I just got lucky on this one ;)
I attribute the lack of focus from Liberal blogs as a testament to the lack of substance, but I can't speak for anyone else. Partisanship aside, it's quite telling to see the lengths the PMO has gone to seperate themselves from Mulroney.
- 4:24 PM, April 16, 2009
- Jim said...
Yes it is quite telling, but it also makes me think they know something we don't that there will indeed.
Harper may have made A LOT of dumb moves lately, but I don't think he would have gotten through painful calculated moves to distance himself if he wasn't fairly confident that Mulroney's name wouldn't be poison by the end of the inquiry. But I guess Harper isn't exactly the grand strategist the media USED to make him out to be, so maybe this was just plain stupid on his part all around.
Anyways, I do think the inquiry will tarnish Mulroney's reputation further, but at the end of the day it will still likely be clear that Harper went way too far in trying to separate himself (at the expense of his own party's unity) from his one-time "mentor".

should say: "know something we don't that there will indeed be some sort of bombshell before this is over."

There might well be, but to date it's been pretty pedestrian, and this is the main character.
- 4:54 PM, April 16, 2009
- Jim said...
But Shreiber said there are 7 scandals to come, 7!
Seriously though Schreiber is a horrible witness. The interesting part will be when Mulroney himself testifies since much of his own stories don't really make sense either, like why he needed it all in cash, and there were no records of it and he only reported it when the whole thing came to light, why he put in separate cash boxes instead of just bank accounts, and so on...
In my view we are looking at TWO shady characters in this story, and while Shreiber will likely in the end appear to be the more shady one that's not really saying much...

I have become more sympathetic to Mulroney recently. It is about legacy. In a country where Prime Ministers don't have the lasting power of an American President, BM will easily qualify as a top ten Prime Minister. I would rank Chretien and Mulroney about the same category. Whether you like it or not, NAFTA, the GST, and Meech Lake did change the country greatly.
When one talks about Harper in history, the first thing that will be mentioned is the need for the GG to prorogue Parliament. Something that was unnecessary and weakened him greatly. He will be seen forever as a mean spirited ideologue, who came to power at a time when the Grits were led by Martin and Dion. Two leaders who had to be considered duds with regards to electoral success.

Chretian and Brian M. equals???
Meech almost killed us
NAFTA may yet kill us
on the other hand, Jean:
* slayed the separatists
* slayed the deficit (with help from GST)
* kept us out of Iraq
Brian didn't make the top ten
Jean is near the top (he looks better and better as the years go on)

Policy Number:2-11
Policy Category: Education
Under Review: No
Approved by Council: September 2003
Reviewed and Updated: May 2011
College Contact: Quality Management Division
Downloadable Version(s): Professional Responsibilities in Postgraduate Medical Education
The delivery of postgraduate medical education in Ontario has significantly evolved over time. Today training occurs in a variety of environments – teaching sites are not limited to traditional teaching hospitals, but also extend to community settings, such as physicians' private practices. Also,
training relies on a team-based approach to care, involving the provision of comprehensive health services to patients by multiple health-care professionals. There are no longer exclusive domains of practice; rather, care is delivered through multidisciplinary teams. This collaborative, teambased approach promotes optimal health care for patients.
In order to ensure both an appropriate educational experience for trainees and a safe and effective delivery of health care to patients, it is essential that supervisors and trainees in the postgraduate environment are aware of the responsibilities and expectations that their roles entail.
Trainees need to be given opportunities to observe and actively participate in clinical interactions in order to acquire the knowledge, skills, and judgment required for future practice. This occurs through a process of graduated responsibility, whereby trainees are expected to take on increased responsibility as they acquire greater competence. For this to occur safely, supervisors must be capable of assessing the competencies of the trainees they are supervising on an ongoing basis.
Trainees cultivate attitudes about professionalism through observing the attitudes and behaviours displayed by their supervisors. Positive role-modeling is therefore of the utmost importance and supervisors are expected not only to demonstrate a model of compassionate and ethical care, but also to interact with colleagues, patients, trainees, and other support staff in a professional manner.
An understanding of the responsibilities and expectations placed on supervisors and trainees is essential for ensuring patient safety in this complex environment. Thus, while this policy focuses on professional responsibilities in the postgraduate environment, supervisors and trainees are expected to be familiar with other applicable CPSO policies as well; these include, but are not limited to Delegation of Controlled Acts, Mandatory Reporting, Consent to Medical Treatment, Disclosure of Harm, Medical Records, and Physician Behaviour in the Professional Environment.
The purpose of this policy is to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the most responsible physicians (MRPs), supervisors and postgraduate trainees engaged in postgraduate medical education programs. This policy focuses on professional responsibilities related to the following aspects of postgraduate medical education:
This policy applies to all physicians who are involved in the guidance, observation and assessment of postgraduate trainees enrolled in postgraduate medical programs in Ontario and to the postgraduate trainees, themselves.
Postgraduate Trainees ("trainees") 1 are physicians who hold a degree in medicine and are continuing in postgraduate medical education. Regardless of the class of certificate of registration held, postgraduate trainees cannot practice independently within the confines of the training program.
Most Responsible Physician is the physician who has final accountability for the medical care of a patient when the trainee is providing care.
Supervisors are physicians who have taken on the responsibility by their respective training programs to guide, observe and assess the educational activities of trainees. The supervisor of a trainee involved in the care of a patient may or may not be the most responsible physician for that patient. Residents or fellows often serve in the role of supervisors, but do not act as the most responsible physician for patient care.
The supervisor and/or most responsible physician must provide appropriate supervision to the trainee. This includes:
The trainee must:
The most responsible physician, supervisor and trainee must demonstrate professional behaviour in their interactions with each other, as well as with patients, other trainees, colleagues and support staff. Displaying appropriate behaviour and providing an ethical and compassionate
model of patient care is particularly important for the most responsible physician and supervisor, as trainees often gain knowledge and develop attitudes about professionalism through role modeling.
The most responsible physician and supervisor must be mindful of the power differential in their relationship with the trainee. Also, they should not allow any personal relationships to interfere with their supervision and evaluation of the trainee. Any personal relationship, which pre-dates or develops during the training phase between the most responsible physician or supervisor and the trainee, e.g., family, dating, business, friendship, etc., must be disclosed to the appropriate responsible member of faculty (such as department or division head or postgraduate program director). The appropriate faculty member would need to decide whether alternate arrangements for supervision and
evaluation of the trainee are merited and, if necessary, make these arrangements.
Any form of behaviour that interferes with, or is likely to interfere with, quality health-care delivery or quality medical education is considered "disruptive behaviour." This includes the use of inappropriate words, actions or inactions that interfere with the ability to function well with others. 4 Physicians, in any setting, are expected to display professional behaviour at all times.
In the postgraduate environment, it is important for patients to understand that care involves a collaborative, team-based approach and that trainees are integral members of the health-care team. 5 The delivery of care relies on MRPs, supervisors, and trainees fulfilling each of their obligations as outlined in section one "Supervision and Training".
Trainee involvement in patient care will vary according to the trainee's stage in a postgraduate training program as well as their individual level of competency. Trainees are expected to take on a graduated level of clinical responsibility in step with their demonstrated growing competency,
although never completely independent of appropriate supervision.
In accordance with the Health Care Consent Act 6 and the CPSO's policy on Consent to Medical Treatment, 7 patient consent is required in all situations where a treatment or a change in treatment is proposed. In addition, there are some factors unique to the postgraduate environment
which should be disclosed to the patient in order for them to make an informed decision as to whether to give or refuse consent:
When a significant component, or all, of a medical procedure is to be performed by a trainee without direct supervision, the patient must be made aware of this fact and where possible, express consent must be obtained. Express consent is directly given, either orally or in writing.
An examination is defined as solely "educational" when it is unrelated to or unnecessary for patient care or treatment. An explanation of the educational purpose behind the proposed examination or clinical demonstration must be provided to the patient and their express consent must be obtained. This must occur whether or not the patient will be conscious during the examination. If express consent cannot be obtained, e.g., the patient is unconscious then the examination cannot be performed. The most responsible physician and/or supervisor should be confident that the proposed examination or clinical demonstration will not be detrimental to the patient, either physically or psychologically.
1. The majority of trainees in Ontario hold a certificate of registration authorizing postgraduate education, and are commonly referred to as "residents" or "fellows" in most teaching sites. However, a trainee may have a different class of registration depending on his/her individual circumstances: 1) pre-entry assessment program certificate of registration – commonly issued to international medical graduates (IMGs) for an initial "assessment phase"; this would include completing a "pre-entry assessment program" or "assessment verification period"; 2) restricted certificate of registration – trainees who have qualified under the Residents Working Additional Hours for Pay policy; 3) certificates of registration authorizing independent practice – trainees who have completed their residency program and qualified for full registration, but who continue to do fellowship training.

3. For details about substitute decision-maker and consent, please refer to the CPSO policy Consent to Medical Treatment.
4. For more information, please refer to the CPSO policy Physician Behaviour in the Professional Environment.

ON HIATUS~ Someday I will spread my wings and fly~
Haha... I've been watching anime on my TV for about a year now. I love my PS3!
Wicked stuff sinji 2 bad my tv sucks
well, turns out Boxee is x86 32bit only. oh well. maybe in the future. until then i'll just connect my laptop to the tv and use the mouse like I have been doing. thnx anyway...
Anyone else having problems with member only video? I've logged in via Boxee, but the video list never changed. I can access and watch videos from non-member content, but the latest episodes and Fairy Tail do not show up when logged in. I submitted a help-ticket to Boxee, but I have no idea if this is a Boxee issue or Crunchyroll issue, and if more users are experiencing this.
One other complaint is it seems that the Crunchyroll bar is on screen the entire time. So you have Boxee's timeline bar + pause buttons which disappear, and then you have Crunchyroll's timeline bar + pause buttons which stays on screen during the entire video. That definitely needs to be fixed because it's quite annoying to see the bar up while watching the video and not to mention that two bars is redundant.
Overall it's a good start, but definitely has some issues.
I'm getting wet!!!
Cool, but I thought Boxee was a set top box like Roku or something. If it's just software, you could already do this by plugging your PC up to your computer and using a remote control. My 360 controller function like a mouse and Crunchyroll is one of the sites that auto pops up whenever I load Chrome so this isn't that useful for me.
Cool looking interface though.
ok... so maybe I never am on... but hey... I\'m old XP
Great Job Shinji! x uhh =[ i really want to but wouldnt know where to start...
1] i dont have the internet at home
2] i got a working t.v and laptop at home!
3] i got a memory stick on me!
= [i dout it will but i'll try my luck...]
what if...i download it onto my memory stick.....
Transfere it onto my laptop at home....
Hook it up to my tv......
would it work via the tv aerial ?? =] eh?? eh??
If not ahh well lmao i guess i'll just have to wait =[
Love Reborn!! Tops Naruto in my opinion! Narutos still gd but nyer! x
I will have to try it out.
It's great watching CR on HDTV - its what I do now. But maybe this will make my experience better or easier.
Always out and about!

that goes for my too ^^'
wow seems really cool but my computer skills end at watching videos online i have no idea how to do any thing fancy like hook up my tv to the internet
Its really easy, I haven't used a monitor for any of my computers for the past 6 years, Ive always just used a big screen or plasma with wireless keyboard and mouse. It only takes a simple cable switch. If you have a dvi port on the back of you computer for video (a lot of newer computers will have this or possibly even an HDMI port) You just buy a small dvi to HDMI converter piece (if you dont already have and HDMI port) that runs about $5-10 (U.S.) and screw that in. Any person in a Best Buy or Radio Shack or other electronics store will know what you're talking about. Then you plug an HDMI cable into that little piece and plug it into computer. Run that to TV and voila C.R. on TV. If you dont have a dvi port than you can buy a VGA converter piece and follow the same steps. You might have to play around with video settings to fit to screen especially if it is an older card that was made befor most computer monitors had a wide aspect ratio.
* You might run into a bit of trouble doing this if you have an older computer that only uses integrated graphics instead of a separate video card especially if you are trying to use a tv with a 16:9 aspect ratio like a plasma. If so I'd recommend spending $30 (or probably less over internet) to get a video card.

Say that again! That's funny... If only we could watch CR on our TV's by connecting a PC and a computer together.
good times...

Sorry, but that won't work. You need to connect to the internet at home with the tv you're using.
uhhh wth is boxee it sounds really cool is it like a free view box is it availbe in the uk
is watching devil beside me :D
Unfortunately, the Boxee software sucks. It cant handle multi-monitor setups. You have to use your "primary" monitor as the TV display, which is impossible for most of us with laptops to do, and mirroring the displays reduces the resolution of the output. I will stick to my own methods for displaying it on my TV (move the web browser to the TV "monitor" and click the FullScreen button) for now. Boxee has quite a ways to go before they are really going to be mainstream.
Always out and about!
Well i watch them on my tv just fine using windows and S-video cable plug right into video card and to the tv (this one has a s-video in jack) Witch is what you got to do in the first place with the software talked about here.
This was done with Windows Xp after everythings pluged up tv and computer. If your computer was on when you pluged them in restart your comp!
R-Click background L-Click>Properties L-Click>Settings tab on the top right you. At that point you will see two boxs labled 1 & 2 and R-Click> the # 2 box and R-click Attatched. then L-Click Apply and OK
and bam you computer screen and tv are attached together i just pick an anime and drag it to my TV and turn up my computer speakers(pritty decent set w/subwolfer to boot) and we have CR ON TV WOO!
and note my computer and tv are close together so it was pritty cheap for a 6 foot cable.
UHHH yeah?!

As the head of her own interior design company, Amy Finley brought plenty of style, elegance and creativity to working on her own Southern California residence. When she joined forces with electronics system designer and installer One Touch Audio & Video Intregration, the result was a home run—something her professional baseball player husband, Steve Finley, can relate to (he's belted more than 300 of his own home runs throughout his career).
But what's the biggest "wow" that makes this the gold winner in the category? An obvious candidate would be the outdoor theater designed for 100 guests. Perhaps it's the projected interactive art that enlivens a 165-inch wall area. Or maybe it's the thousands of LED lights programmed to provide just about any ambiance in the home. It could even be the lack of wall clutter that keeps the 17,000 square-foot residence a model of aesthetically rich modern design.
"I really love the outdoor theater," says One Touch owner Corey Brushia, who then added another "wow" candidate (one that probably doesn't receive as much recognition by house visitors): "The equipment room and the amount of wires—my wife has seen a lot of these installations, and when she saw the number of wires, the hundreds of connectors, and every one terminated and color coded, she was impressed."
After designing the house as a spec home to sell with a simple electronics system incorporated, the Finleys decided to keep it for themselves—and that's when the project really took off, says Brushia. Steve wanted an easy-to-manage, hard drive–based system, and Amy wanted to design everything around entertaining. That meant that except for obvious aspects such as the outdoor theater and the projection art, she didn't want much of the audio and video in sight.
The crux of the technology is an AMX control system that the Finleys and their children can access via user-based touchpads or an RTI T-3 remote control that can be taken anywhere in the house. Every touchpanel has the same easy-to-use interface that's been programmed for eight people, so all a family member has to do is hit my dvr or my movies or my music and go from there. Each user has a dedicated DVR and can scroll through an Xperinet server for movies and an Escient server for music.
Though 42-inch Panasonic plasma TVs are mounted in rooms throughout the house, "There are no sources you can see anywhere except for iPod docks," says Brushia. "You won't see any source, any boxes or, for the most part, any speakers."
The interior contains 32 zones of audio, with a multitude of Sonance speakers hiding in the walls and ceilings. What's definitely not hiding are the screens.
Inside the house, a 12-seat theater room features a 120-inch Screen Research model fed by a Marantz DLP projector. Outside, a 180-inch motorized model from Screen Research takes center stage in tandem with another Marantz DLP projector, which may be upgraded in the near future.
The interactive art in the gallery beams onto a regular wall rather than a screen, with an InFocus DLP projector providing the image. A digital rendering of plants grows and sways in constant, random motion as people walk in front of the lens. Brushia says the Finleys plan to add another interactive art area that will feature an underwater image and require two projectors.
The true "wow" for Amy, however, might have come when One Touch programmed a remote—with more commands at the touch of a button than she thought possible—specifically for a fashion show she threw that served as a housewarming party. "When she pressed the first button, it played arrival music for the guests. The second one she hit right before the fashion show, so it dimmed the lights, dimmed out the secondary rooms, left the walkways lit and changed the music playlist. The third button switched her to a microphone system and mixed another playlist so she could start announcing the show. And the fourth button turned on all the lights after the show," says Brushia. "That was just a surprise to her."

Sitting down with Carolyn Dooley is like studying the art of cake, cookie and bread baking from the last century. Her expertise has made the Home Economics department at the Ionia Free Fair a mecca for kitchen divas.
Sitting down with Carolyn Dooley is like studying the art of cake, cookie and bread baking from the last century. Her expertise has made the Home Economics department at the Ionia Free Fair a mecca for kitchen divas.
Now, this department superintendent for nearly a decade and her husband Myron will lead the 2013 Ionia Free Fair Parade on July 20 as grand marshals.
"They were selected because of their years of volunteer service and love for the Ionia Free Fair," said Director of Marketing Becca Usher in announcing the selection.
Fair Manager Bev Clark said the Dooleys are among the breed of volunteers who dedicate their lives to the fair.
She praised Carolyn for organizing the popular pie and cake auction that raises thousands of dollars each year.
"Carolyn is amazing," said Clark, adding that Carolyn and army of volunteers offering their specialties and expertise are responsible for making the historic Ionia Free Fair the magnitude it is.
Carolyn Dooley and her late mother Anna Meyers were names once synonymous with the fair's cake and canning competitions.
Carolyn began exhibiting at the fair in 1968 alongside her mother. In 1979, the Ionia Sentinel-Standard featured the mother-daughter team after they walked off with a slew of top prizes, a common practice every year.
But that isn't where the legacy begins. The Lansing State Journal in 1966 wrote about Anna winning with 14 of her cake entries and how she learned baking from her mother.
"She was a tremendous baker," Carolyn said of her grandmother. "She did her baking in an old wood stove. She'd put a piece of paper in the oven with a little flour on it."
Her grandmother monitored the temperature of the oven by how brown the flour got. Carolyn, who attended a one-room school house at Bowne Center, near Alto, recalls walking pass her grandmother's house and smelling the aroma of bread baking.
The Dooleys at one time owned three farms and the homestead where they ran a dairy farm for 20 years with a herd of around 60 cows. They left the dairy business about 20 years ago and hand built a stunning log cabin on one of the farms. Instead of a hobby farm, they have a farm for all their hobbies.
Carolyn and Myron are in their early 70s and still like to keep busy.
Carolyn admits, "I can't be idle. Sometimes I have too many irons in the fire." Pointing to Myron, she adds, "He's about as bad, or as good, however you want to look at it."
Myron helps prepare the home economics exhibition building every year. Carolyn calls him her "support system."
Assistant Superintendent Elena Brooks will take over as superintendent when Carolyn retires. Until then, they both review the categories and update whenever they can. Currently there are 13 sections, such as single layer cakes, quick breads, decorated cakes, canned goods and youth exhibition.
"We are always trying new things," Carolyn said.
Elena added a glucose-free category and Carolyn went with sugar-free.
The cake and pie judging is in the afternoon of July 22 followed by the annual cake and pie auction at 7 p.m. that night when the first-place winners are auctioned.
"We always have a good time running up each other's bids," Carolyn said.
All food entries are 100 percent homemade. Carolyn maintains a judge can tell the difference between a box mix and homemade.
For the 25th anniversary in 2011 of the auction, 30 cakes and 12 pies from the adult and youth classes raised $4,300 for the department. A strawberry and rhubarb pie sold for $350.
Carolyn and Elena plan special contests during the week. There's one for cherries, another for baked and canned goods and still another for maple syrup.
"About every 10 or 15 years we do another cookbook. We have a cookbook for sale now. Once we had three recipes from the fair put in a national cookbook," she said.
Carolyn doesn't claim to be an expert and says she learns something new every day. As for her knowledge of baking, she learned the essentials working with her mother and grandmother.
"You learned just as a matter of necessity," she said. "I didn't go to school to learn. It was just from life experiences."
Luckily for the rest of us, Carolyn passed on her knowledge of baking to her daughters. One daughter owns Shirley's Chuckwagon Café in Nashville, north of Battle Creek, and cooks from scratch. A cousin also owns Meyers' Hometown Bakery and Beanery in Lake Odessa specializing in … well, you know.

Farmer Brooks Davis knows about sleepless nights.
"This job will make you turn gray-headed," he said of farming. "For us, we feel plenty of stress-making marketing decisions. You could work all year for free if you don't make the right decisions."
Davis of Arkansas County, Ark., said fuel, fertilizer and other inputs all went up this year. While crop prices have been favorable, he said if he makes a bad decision about marketing, "we could lose a lot of money. I think it's common for people with a business to wake up at 3 a.m. worrying," he said.
Stress is a normal part of life for farmers, said Russ Kennedy, health specialist with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. Many a farmer has suffered through a sleepless night worrying about pests, market prices, weather or repaying a six-figure crop loan.
"Farmers accept stress as part of daily life, and most do little to cope with it consciously," he said. Much of our stress comes from everyday responsibilities.
"In response to daily strains," he said, "your body automatically increases blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, metabolism and blood flow to your muscles."
This response is intended to help your body react quickly and effectively to a high-pressure situation, but constant stress can threaten your health and well-being.
Kennedy offers several ways to reduce unwanted stress or manage it:
Be realistic. If you feel overwhelmed by some activities (yours and/or your family's), learn to say NO! Eliminate an activity that is not absolutely necessary. You may be taking on more responsibility than you can or should handle.
Shed the "superman/superwoman" urge. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection from yourself or others. Ask yourself, "How much can I do? Is the deadline realistic? What adjustments can I make?" Don't hesitate to ask for help.
Meditate. Just 10 to 20 minutes of quiet reflection may bring relief from chronic stress as well as increase your tolerance to it.
Visualize. Use your imagination and picture how you can manage a stressful situation more successfully. Whether it's a farm problem or visiting with your banker, many people feel visual rehearsals boost self-confidence and enable them to take a more positive approach to a difficult task.
Take one thing at a time. For people under tension or stress, an ordinary workload can sometimes seem unbearable. The best way to cope with this feeling of being overwhelmed is to take one task at a time.
Exercise. Regular exercise is a popular way to relieve stress. Twenty to 30 minutes of physical activity benefits both the body and the mind.
Hobbies. Take a break from your worries by doing something you enjoy.
Healthy life style. Good nutrition makes a difference. Limit intake of caffeine and alcohol, get adequate rest, exercise and balance work and play.
Share your feelings. A conversation with a friend lets you know that you are not the only one having a bad day, coping with low prices or production problems. Stay in touch with friends and family. Don't try to cope alone.
Give in occasionally. Be flexible! If you find you're meeting constant opposition in either your personal or professional life, rethink your position or strategy. Arguing only intensifies stressful feelings.
Go easy with criticism. You may expect too much of yourself and others. Try not to feel frustrated, let down, disappointed or even "trapped" when another person doesn't measure up

Once again this month's post comes all too late! But since we have one last day in this beautiful month {hoping it's not June Gloom where you are} here is a bit of inspiration pulled from the soft blues, turquoises, indigos and cobalts that remind me of June.
I love the use of both contrasting and complimentary colors in rooms that favor the cool hue. How great is that yellow at the top, or the layers of soft blue at the last picture in the bottom right corner (that quatrefoil chair is pretty amazing too).
This wallpaper is gorgeous!
Teals and turquoises bring a coastal feel to any space and the solid walls are a beautiful backdrop to accessories like the gold bamboo coffee table, chinoiserie pillow cases and backless sofa above.
Blue bedrooms are one of my favorites… I've always been partial to warmer colors in living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens, but I can't get over how great a blue bedroom looks.
Here's a darker take on blue. Bringing in a strong navy, cobalt or indigo can be a great substitutes for black and dark brown in rooms.
That's my June blues round-up… to see more 'Rooms Inspired by the Month', click here. Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Escape Plan (US - BD RA)
Gabe sleeps through his lookout shift during the big prison break...
One of the world's foremost authorities on structural security agrees to take on one last job: breaking out of an ultra-secret, high-tech facility called 'The Tomb.' Deceived and wrongly imprisoned, Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) must recruit fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to help devise a daring, nearly impossible plan to escape from the most protected and fortified prison ever built. (From Summit's official synopsis)
The action heroes of the '80s continue crawling their way back into the zeitgeist. Their efforts have finally begun to move past the desperation phase and into a nice warm place between the mainstream posperity and straight-to-video obscurity. The Expendables movies continue to make money on a brand name, but most of the movies starring these former greats are produced on significantly lower budgets to considerably lower profits. At the risk of sounding dismissive, this is the place I'd prefer see these guys and films like The Last Stand and Bullet to the Head are much closer to proper extensions of their original output than either of the Expendables movies, regardless of actual quality. Commando and Rambo III were B-movies that made A-money, because the market craved them. The market has changed and now only supports a nostalgia niche. And that's actually kind of awesome. 2013's rush of B-action hero throwbacks was closed out by Mikael Håfström's Escape Plan. Like all the other films in the collection, it didn't set the world on fire with critical acclaim or box office success, but it didn't entirely fail and kept the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Swarzenegger in the public eye for another month.
Håfström isn't a foreign director trying to get a foothold in the Hollywood market, like The Last Stand's Kim Jee-woon, nor is he a fading star himself, like Bullet to the Head's Walter Hill – he's just a working director that knows what he's doing. His biggest hit was a stylish Stephen King adaptation called 1408. Following that, he directed an international cast for Shanghai, a noir thriller that didn't get a major release, and The Rite, a quickly forgotten possessed-priest thriller starring Anthony Hopkins. For his part, he appears to have been a fine choice for the material. He shoots using flowy camerawork and crisp editing, both of which establish a solid visual storytelling practice. He works best when he's visually establishing Stallone's planning process minus the benefit of a narrative explanation (though, follow-up sequences tend to unnecessarily verify things). Unfortunately, this workman-like approach is part of the film's major problem – it feels entirely generic. There's nothing here to visually set the film apart from its underwhelming narrative or the glacial momentum Håfström's rational direction creates.
The screenplay, by Miles Chapman and Jason Keller, takes inspiration from obvious sources, like John Flynn's Lock Up (also starring Stallone), Don Siegel's Escape From Alcatraz, and even John Sturges' proto-escape classic The Great Escape, but owes even more to the middle section of John Woo's Face/Off and Stuart Gordon's underappreciated sci-fi prison opus, Fortress. Of course, every time there's a callback to a different prison-break movie/TV show, the audience only reminded that they aren't watching that movie/TV show instead. Nothing in Escape Plan offers anything new to the lexicon, not even the intricacies of the super prison itself. It might not have mattered if the stolen story elements were backed by clever dialogue (the last lines are 'Why don't you and me have a really special dinner?,' 'Oh, I'll cook…,' 'Haven't I suffered enough?') or unexpected plot twists (we are given so much information that it's basically impossible to be surprised by the narrative turns).
The cast is, naturally, the bigger pull than the director or concept and including the usual STV genre mainstays, like Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and Vinnie 'Ex Football Thug' Jones, and a fair number of established, award-friendly character types slumming their way through supporting roles, like Vincent D'Onofrio, Amy Ryan, Jim Caviezel, and Sam Neill. D'Onofrio and Ryan are completely wasted as the people who sit idly and worry about Stallone. Their scenes take us out of the prison and place us back in the real world, bringing the already languid pace to a complete halt. Caviezel and Jackson are as boring as they always are, even cast against type, while Neill is typically charming in the underdeveloped role of the prison's doctor (in the film's worst moment, Stallone reminds Neill to 'remember his oath' before cutting to a shot of Neill literally reading the Hippocratic Oath from a medical textbook). Surprisingly enough, though, Schwarzenegger's performance is probably the film's most endearing aspect. His character isn't given many shades of personality, but he consistently lands his funny lines with a comedic grace I frankly didn't know he had in him. The bit where he feigns insanity to buy a hiding Stallone some time is probably the closest Arnie will get to an 'Oscar moment.' Stallone himself is fine, but is definitely coasting on his faded celebrity.
Escape Plan was shot using Arri Alexa digital HD cameras and is presented here in 1080p, 2.40:1 video. For the most part, it looks like it could've been shot on 35mm – details are sharp and natural without being overly clean or particularly digital-looking. Håfström and cinematographer Brendan Galvin alternate between deep-set, wide-angle images that set their stages and incredibly tight close-ups that turn backdrops as blurry swaths. The closer textures are very impressive, without any notable sharpening effects, and the purposefully blurry stuff is still well-cut in terms of element separation. The outer world's colour palette is limited and stylized without appearing unnaturally graded. Basically, a given environment's inherent hues are homogenized, so that most skin tones, clothing colours, structural palettes, et cetera, appear generally alike. By the time Stallone lands in the super prison, the colours are largely limited to steely blues and greens, warm flesh, and red and yellow highlights. Of these, only the reds bleed out of their designated shapes unintentionally. The film has a steady sheen of digital grain throughout, but only a handful of the darkest images appear particularly noisy. The white levels are a bit over-exposed and 'bloomy,' while blacks are deep without risking finer texture.
Note: All of the deleted footage and footage included with the EPK extras is framed at an open matte 1.78:1 and looks a lot better than the cramped 2.40:1.
This Blu-ray comes fitted with a DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 soundtrack. Despite the genre designation, Escape Plan is really more dialogue-driven than action-driven, so there isn't exactly a constant stream of aggressive, multi-directional audio. It's more of a study in atmospherics. The sounds of a 'standard issue' prison at the beginning of the film are organic and largely natural. The sound designers don't spend too much time over-saturating the ambient environment with more than basic footsteps and clanging metal doors. This is contrasted by the super prison environment, which is generally more sinister and daunting. The lockdown procedures are louder with more rear channel echo and the fistfights include more bass-influenced blows. There are also more excuses for explosive gunshots and metal-shredding bullet effects. Alex Heffes' musical score is standard issue sci-fi action stuff, though it is more symphonic than expected. Based on the trailers, I had assumed the film would take a more techno-inspired route or at least feature more percussion elements. The score is mixed pretty low on the track, but never low enough to disappear entirely during the more actiony moments.
The extras include:
- Commentary with Håfström and co-writer Miles Chapman – This is a brutally uninteresting, awkward 'Skyped' group commentary. Håfström spends most of his time either describing the on-screen action, assuring us that the cast members liked each other, or asking Chapman questions about the script. His accent is quite charming, but he's only particularly valuable for his habit of describing/recalling locations. Chapman, who seems a bit more prepared for the process, has a curious habit of pointing out his own script's shortcomings while defending them against allegations that haven't been vocalized. I'm not sure he even realizes he's doing this.
- Executing the Plan: The Making of Escape Plan (20:20, HD) – A fluffy EPK made up of footage from the film, interviews with the major cast and crew, and raw behind-the-scenes footage.
- Maximum Security: The Real-Life Tomb (22:00, HD) – A brief breakdown of the reality of a maximum security prison, including interviews with a series of experts, as well as illustrations/photographs/video footage from facilities throughout history.
- Clash of the Titans (15:30, HD) – A look at the re-teaming of Stallone and Schwarzenegger, following the two Expendables movies.
- 11 deleted/extended scenes (8:10, HD)
- Trailers
There is always room for another movie or TV episode about a prison break, but it's an awfully busy field. It takes something special to set the next prison break movie/TV episode apart. Escape Plan doesn't offer anything special to set itself apart. It's about as mediocre as a film can be without being offensive. The only people I can really recommend it to are diehard Arnold Schwarzenegger fans, who do have a very charming performance to look forward to. Lionsgate's Blu-ray looks and sounds typically sharp. The extras are pretty fluffy, though.

Nice review as usual Gabe.
I'll watch this purely for Arnold. I'm not much of a Stallone fan.
I gather you're not much of a Jim Caviezel fan? I think he is great in Person of Interest.

I've seen this and found it to be decent but nothing to write home about, the performances are better than the end product especially from Schwarzenegger and Caviezel.
Triply, agreed about Person of Interest, it's my favourite show on TV at the moment and has been since day one, Caviezel is great in it as he is in another film he did called "Outlander" which is an outstanding film in it's own right.

I'm barely catching up with The Wire, Person of Interest is going to take me a while to get to. I would welcome seeing Caviezel in something where I'm not bored by him, though.

Water polo is the oldest team sport in the Olympic Games. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, it was the only time that the Canadian men's team had ever qualified for the Olympics through the normal process. Canada has placed in the top three in the past five Pan Am Games and in 2011, including this year right here in Markham with a silver for the women's team, and a bronze for the men.
Markham Pan Am Centre
The sport of aquatics had an early start; Egyptian hieroglyphics discovered from the Stone Age showed people swimming. Around 400 BC, records showed Egyptians and Romans diving off cliffs. It did not become an organized sport, however, until the early 19th century in Great Britain.
In water polo competition, two seven-person teams (six field players and a goalie) try to throw the ball, weighing about 400 to 450 grams (1 lb), into the opponent's goal. A game consists of four eight-minute periods and during play, athletes cannot touch the bottom or sides of the pool.

They are different window managers.
They both do the same basic thing.
Each has it's own specific features, but they are not that much different.
The best example is what settings can be changed.
JWM - use "JWM configuration"
Openbox - use "Openbox config" and "Fbpanel configuration"
Example screen shots:

Thank you for the useful information
I used to think it was just something like changing the theme (such as the default icons) until I noticed that there are different applications for doing things like those (changing the appearance of icons, changing background) so I was just wondering what it actually was
What confused me more was when I changed form the default Openbox to JWM I didn't didn't see much difference
I think it changed changed the screen resolution slightly and the start menu edges look a bit more sharp I think, but other than that there is no noticeable difference

This is a decent explanation as to what windows environments are. Note that the ones discussed in the article aren't in puppy by default (although some can be installed)--but its still an intro to the concept.
Also, openbox has themes that can be installed (I suppose there's some for JWM--I just don't see them)
In short, both are basically slightly different toolkits for tweaking appearances. If you're happy or don't care, pick one and ignore.

They are called window managers. They draw the windows you see -with the title bar, the borders and sometimes re-size corners at the bottom. They also usually setup keyboard-shortcuts. A full desktop environment includes lots of other things. Purists even reject having a panel or taskbar as being part of the window manager.

I see that others have answered the question from a higher level point of view. I think it may also be helpful to say:
Your graphics card and monitor and stuff are all configured by the thing called "xwindows". This is a very low level program. It can have one of a great many "window managers" added to it. The window manager strangely enough deals with the "managing" of the windows. Things like what keystroke closes a window and how you resize them and issues like that are all part of management.
JWM is a very small and very efficient window manager program. It is fairy simple to configure to do all the things that need to be done. It lacks some of the clever things of other windows managers like bouncing icons and spinning icons and the like. It just does those things that are needed to get the job done.

I find Openbox is a small and fast window manager. In terms of speed, I dont see a difference with JWM. I like the option to undecorate a window (remove the titlebar for a small increment in screen space). Alt+Tab switching displays fairly large easy to read icons along with the program titles.

Subject description: 13 is a lucky number sometimes (oddly enough)
Pennys worth
Both jwm and openbox are fine window managers. It all depends on your style as to which may suit you better (having both is the best option, imo).
Jwm has more features natively included (trays especially) and runs a bit lighter because of that. Window focus can be click or sloppy but there is no autoraise option (as far as I'm aware of). Control options tend to be not as extensive for most users. Basically it's simpler in many ways but still offers a very useful feature set in a light wm.
Openbox is more compliant (EWMH and such) but may need add ons if you want a taskbar, pager, systray and so on. Natively it uses a client menu for iconified windows. The configuration gui is easy to use but themes are a bit more complex to create. It has autoraise with delay but no outline option for moving/resizing windows to point out a few other basic differences from jwm. A much more complete set of control binds in one place (~/.config/openbox/rc.xml) plus a default top, 'root' and bottom section for the main menu.
Either can be fast and lean or loaded up with other stuff. Both can look great.
Survey says:
openbox is Capped less often
Joe's Window Manager is rarely referenced as such
Not quite 2¢, but hth

Sánchez Madan continued to report on human rights violations from prison, his neighbor, Juan Francisco Sigler said. Prison authorities threatened retaliation, saying they would do everything in their power to keep him jailed if he continued to write, Sigler told CPJ. On at least one occasion, inmates beat the journalist severely at the encouragement of authorities. As further retaliation, the reporter was sent to solitary confinement for weeks at a time, according to Sigler.

Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, recently did an interview with derStandard in which he discussed issues with Ubuntu's latest release, innovation, the future of GNOME, and other subjects. Perhaps the most interesting thing he said is that Linux does not yet deliver "a good enough user experience." Of course, you could say that of any operating system. Editor's Note: QT-based Gnome was also an interesting point-of-view.

This may actually be the defining point - tone of voice. Are you coddling or encouraging? When Inara gets worried over something, I don't get all ooey gooey "oh you poor widdle baby waby!" I keep an upbeat voice and tell her everything is fine.
So perhaps that's the difference - baby talk coddling vs. confident encouraging.

Thoreau, Henry David
Thoreau grew up in Concord and attended Harvard, where he was known as a serious though unconventional scholar. During his Harvard years he was exposed to the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson , who later became his chief mentor and friend. After graduation, Thoreau worked for a time in his father's pencil shop and taught at a grammar school, but in 1841 he was invited to live in the Emerson household, where he remained intermittently until 1843. He served as handyman and assistant to Emerson, helping to edit and contributing poetry and prose to the transcendentalist magazine, The Dial.
In 1845 Thoreau built himself a small cabin on the shore of Walden Pond, near Concord there he remained for more than two years,
living deep and sucking out all the marrow of life. Wishing to lead a life free of materialistic pursuits, he supported himself by growing vegetables and by surveying and doing odd jobs in the nearby village. He devoted most of his time to observing nature, reading, and writing, and he kept a detailed journal of his observations, activities, and thoughts. It was from this journal that he later distilled his masterpiece, Walden. The journal, begun in 1837, was also the source of his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), as well as of his posthumously published Excursions (1863), The Maine Woods (1864), Cape Cod (1865), and A Yankee in Canada (1866).
One of Thoreau's most important works, the essay
Civil Disobedience (1849), grew out of an overnight stay in prison as a result of his conscientious refusal to pay a poll tax that supported the Mexican War, which to Thoreau represented an effort to extend slavery. Thoreau's advocacy of civil disobedience as a means for the individual to protest those actions of his government that he considers unjust has had a wide-ranging impact—on the British Labour movement, the passive resistance independence movement led by Gandhi in India, and the nonviolent civil-rights movement led by Martin Luther King in the United States.
Thoreau is also significant as a naturalist who emphasized the dynamic ecology of the natural world. Above all, Thoreau's quiet, one-man revolution in living at Walden has become a symbol of the willed integrity of human beings, their inner freedom, and their ability to build their own lives. Thoreau's writings, including his journals, were published in 20 volumes in 1906.

Approved as original equipment by vehicle manufacturers and militaries world wide, these tough hubs are built to last. A hardened nylon center is used instead of metal to keep you moving in the rare case of a hub failure. The only way to repair it is to replace it. The question is, with what? Factory automatic hubs have a history of failing when you need them most. A damaged hub will render your 4x4 useless and leave you stranded. Wish you could swap your venerable automatic hubs to a set of manual locking hubs? Rugged Ridge has heard your plea Rugged Ridge Manual Locking Hubs are unanimously recognized as the world's toughest hubs by our thousands of satisfied customers worldwide. Brute strength matters, that is why the bodies of our hubs are crafted from impact resistant nodular iron, and feature a corrosion resistant die cast aluminum cap.

With the money you save you'll be able to carry a spare set, not that you'll need them. Sure you have to get out of the cab to lock the hubs, but unlike automatic hubs you won't have to wait until you lose traction for your four-wheel drive to engage

Nordic keen on Darksiders 3 but will take time to avoid "shitty sequel"
A brand new Darksiders seems to be on the cards following Nordic's acquisition of several former THQ franchises yesterday.
"I'm impressed with the love and interest that those IPs, especially Darksiders, are bringing in," Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors told Game Informer.
You can see Nordic Game as a middle man in order to create great new sequels. If we can find the right team with the right terms, I'm sure we can find the right financial solution to make it happen.
"Officially, we haven't talked to any partners. It takes a very long time to make games. You won't see a new Darksiders this year. I don't believe in bringing out a shitty sequel.
"I am a business man within the games industry. We are not the creative, talented developer that brings out new versions in house. I understand the potential of the IPs. In the past 24 hours, we have been contacted and there have been a few discussions (but I can't confirm names)."
Nordic's deal with what's left of THQ saw it win a host of IP including Red Faction, Stuntman, Full Spectrum Warrior, Destroy All Humans, MX vs ATV, Supreme Commander, Frontlines, Juiced and Titan Quest.
And it sounds like it won't be long before the first releases from this stockpile make it to market.
"I'm sure we can find a solution for at least one of the IPs, or a few of the IPs, this year. Potentially this summer," Wingefors added. There will be a lot of discussions at E3, but it's hard to say. I'm very open minded and flexible. I trust a handshake. I just need to find the right people."

Givanildo Vieira de Souza, better known as Hulk, is one of the most frightening sights in world football when in full-flight and in Zenit St Petersburg's Russian Premier League match with CSKA Moscow, he showed just why he is so revered.
With Zenit leading 1-0 and the half-time whistle about to blow, the Brazilian received a pass from a teammate with his back to goal, before quickly turning the CSKA defence inside-out with a piece of sublime skill.
With a shot on his rocket of a left foot blocked, the 27-year-old powerhouse cut back onto his less-favoured right and curled an absolute stunner into the top corner from 20 yards, past the helpless goalkeeper.
Zenit went on to secure the 2-0 victory to put them eight points clear at the top of the league and continue their relentless march to the title.
Strikes such as these are becoming a trademark for the brilliant Brazilian, and he is surely one to watch as the World Cup rolls around in 2014.
Watch the goal above.

"Minecraft developer Mojang has confirmed to Gamasutra that the previously revealed Android version of its PC indie hit will be arriving on Sony Ericsson's PlayStation-certified Xperia Play before other phones. The Xperia Play version of Minecraft will feature customized controls for the system's PlayStation-styled slide-out buttons, the company said. Mojang is also developing versions of the title for iOS and other Android phones, and said the smartphone versions of the game will be tweaked slightly to deal with the vagaries of the new platform." And we have video. I'll be buying an iPad 2 soon, and with that thing getting Minecraft... I fear for my life.

Billy Currington Wants to Do WHAT to Shania Twain?
During a recent radio interview, Billy Currington was posed with series of philosophical, end of life questions. Asked how he would spend his final 24 hours on earth if he found himself in such a scenario, he gave humorous and intriguing answers, revealing that when he goes, he wants to go out with a bang…
"I still wanna pound Shaina Twain," he said after a, uh, pregnant pause regarding one woman he's always wanted to hook up with. Obviously, Currington didn't hold back at all when chatting with Fitz in the Morning host Fitz.
The singer, who is an admitted beach bum, shared that if he had to die, he would probably like to die at the bottom of the ocean, most definitely a result of a shark attack. But would he be going to heaven or hell once he passed on? That depends.
"I am going to the most peaceful place, wherever that is. They say that's heaven, so I'm going there," the singer jokes. "I've been a good boy. Santa Claus said I did good. That's all that matters."
Currington's last meal would consist of peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some Capt'n Crunch cereal — a comfort food meal if there ever was one. "If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it bad." And the one thing he thinks he'd be glad to never have to do again? "Never have to smell another corn dog at another festival," he spills.
Shania Twain and corn dogs — both are on Currington's bucket list of stuff to "do" and not do. The singer may have already missed his best shot. In 2004, the labelmates cut 'Party for Two' for Twain's 'Greatest Hits' album and delivered a memorable performance at the 2004 CMA Awards.

INDIANAPOLIS — With tears in their eyes and Kevin Ware in their hearts, there was no way Louisville was losing this game.
INDIANAPOLIS — With tears in their eyes and Kevin Ware in their hearts, there was no way Louisville was losing this game.
Russ Smith scored 23, Gorgui Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, and top-seeded Louisville put aside the shock from Ware's gruesome leg injury to earn a second straight trip to the Final Four with an 85-63 victory Sunday against Duke.
As the final seconds ticked down, Chane Behanan put Ware's jersey on and stood at the end of the Louisville bench, screaming. Cardinals fans chanted "Kevin Ware! Kevin Ware!"
"We won this for him," coach Rick Pitino said. "We were all choked up with emotion for him. We'll get him back to normal. We've got great doctors, great trainers."
With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware, who has played a key role in Louisville's 14-game winning streak, jumped to try and block Tyler Thornton's three-point shot. When he landed, his right leg snapped midway between his ankle and knee, the bone skewing almost at a right angle. Ware dropped to the floor right in front of the Louisville bench and, almost in unison, his teammates turned away in horror.
Play resumed about 10 minutes later, but it was clear the Cardinals' minds were elsewhere. They missed four of their next five shots along with two free throws, and were uncharacteristically sloppy. They regrouped after a timeout, with Smith's finger roll sparking a 12-6 run to finish the half that gave them a 35-32 lead.
Smith picked up where he left off at the start of the second half, making all three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt to give Louisville (33-5) a 38-32 lead, its largest of the game to that point.
Just as he did against Michigan State, Duke star Seth Curry got hot after halftime, making two three-pointers in the first three minutes. Mason Plumlee dunked to tie the game at 42.
That, however, was all Louisville needed.
Clawing for every rebound, diving on the floor for loose balls and cranking the intensity up even higher on their ferocious defense, the Cardinals were not going to lose. Everyone, Duke included, knew it.
Smith, the most outstanding player of the Midwest Region, made a layup. Peyton Siva had a nice jumper at the top of the key, and then followed with a layup. Just like that, the Cardinals were off on a 20-4 run that sealed the victory.

My good friend Aviva is in rabbinical school. Aviva writes a fantastic blog about her rabbinical school journey called Becoming Rabbi, which you can read by clicking here. I'm currently in LA visiting family and friends, and Aviva and I decided that we would catch up while making loaves of the traditional Jewish Sabbath bread challah. Aviva lives in Bel-Air, a gorgeous neighborhood in Los Angeles made famous by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I'm from West Philly so visiting Aviva at her beautiful Bel-Air home to make challah seemed especially appropriate!
Aviva is a whiz at making all kinds of challah. She knows how to craft perfect loaves of crunchy yet gooey raw vegan challah (we worked together at the raw vegan retreat center, where Aviva honed her craft), traditional (non-vegan) challah, and glutenous vegan challah, but never before had Aviva made (cooked) gluten-free vegan challah!
We were both up for the challenge and spent several hours making the bread and waiting for it to rise while gabbing, catching up with her wonderful hubby, listening to music (Aviva always has the latest and coolest mixes), and just enjoying the spirit of making Shabbos bread. Here's the recipe we used, adapted from several challah recipes to include our gluten-free twist. I hope you enjoy making it and sharing it with loved ones, whether you celebrate Shabbat or just want some seriously awesome gluten-free vegan bread!
Gluten Free Vegan Challah
(Serves 6-8)
Dough part 1:
2 1/2 tsp gluten-free rapid rise yeast
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar, xylitol or regular raw sugar
1 tsp salt
4 Tbs canola oil
Dough Part 2 (Egg substitute):
3 Tbs canola oil
3 Tbs warm water
2 tsp baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the yeast into the water along with a pinch of sugar in a large bowl. Mix these until well combined. Let the mixture rest for a couple minutes until bubbly and creamy. Add the sugar, salt, and 4Tbs of canola oil and mix. Beat the "Dough Part 2" egg replacement ingredients with a whisk until it fizzes and pour this into the yeast mixture. Add the flour, one cup at a time, until the mixture is thick and difficult to stir. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it until it is springy and elastic (about 5-10 minutes).
The ingredients for "Dough Part 2" work as the binding agent or "egg". Add part 2 to part 1 right before you mix the flour. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a slightly damp cloth or plastic wrap and set in a warm place for an hour and a half. After this, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and separate the dough into equal portions, depending on how many challot you care to make. We made 4 pieces and 4 challot. Divide each piece into 3 pieces and roll out into 3 equal-sized strands. Pinch the ends together and braid the dough.Place on a baking sheet or greased pan and bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy! 🙂
