NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's lacrosse team (12-4), which captured its first NCAA Tournament win since 1992 on Saturday at Penn State, takes on No. 1 seed Syracuse (14-3) at 3 p.m. this Saturday on Capital One Field in Byrd Stadium at College Park, Md. This national quarterfinal can be seen on ESPN2. The Bulldogs, playing in the NCAA Tournament for a school-record second straight spring, are coming off a 10-7 win at No. 8 seed Penn State. The Orangemen advanced to the second round by beating Bryant at the Carrier Dome, 12-7, on Sunday night.
Yale and Syracuse last met 13 years ago at Boca Raton, Fla., an 18-6 Orange win on March 11, 2000. The neutral site game was one of four in the Sunshine State for the two teams when the Elis used to make early season trips to the south. Syracuse leads the overall series 18-4. The Bulldogs last win was 11-9 in 1963 at New Haven. This is the second NCAA Tournament meeting for the two; The Orange won 17-8 on May 16, 1992, at Syracuse.
The other NCAA Quarterfinal at Byrd Stadium pits Cornell against Ohio State at 12:30 on Saturday, but the winner of the Yale-Syracuse game does not face the team advancing from the first contest. The winner of the Denver (No. 4)-North Carolina (5) game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., takes on the Yale-Syracuse survivor at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on May 25 at either 2:30 or 5 p.m. in a national semifinal. The Bulldogs and Big Red are the only non-seeded teams remaining in the field.
The team departs from New Haven by bus at 1 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs have a 12:50 to 1:50 practice at Byrd Stadium on Friday. Saturday's opening face-off against Syracuse is scheduled for 3:00, but that is the earliest it can start. The Ohio State-Cornell game could push the start time back, but the Yale contest can't start until 30 minutes after the opener has concluded.
- reach its first national semifinal since 1990…
- be the 13th win this season, the most since the 1990 team had 16…
- play a school-record three NCAA Tournament games this spring…
- tie a season-best mark of five straight wins this spring
Yale overcame a 5-1 halftime deficit by scoring nine of the game's next 10 goals on the way to an impressive 10-7 win at Penn State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The final stats were balanced other than the Nittany Lions taking 13 of the 20 face-offs, but the Elis never lost confidence and went on a historic offensive run. Colin Flaherty led the way with three goals while Conrad Oberbeck hit the net twice and had three points. Eric Natale stopped 10 shots overall after allowing just two goals in the last 30 minutes.
The Blue has played five straight games (3 road, 2 neutral) outside of New Haven since finishing off its 2013 home schedule on April 15 against Stony Brook (11-10 OT win). Yale has won four of the five games, the only loss coming in a one-goal decision (8-7) at Byrd Stadium against Maryland on April 20. The Blue is 7-3 in games played away from Reese Stadium this spring.
Yale offensive coordinator Graham Niemi (10th season at Yale) is a 1997 University of Maryland graduate who helped his Terrapin squad – as an assistant coach - make the 1997 national final (loss to Princeton). As a player in 1995, his UM team fell to Syracuse in the 1995 national championship game. Paul Carcaterra, the sideline reporter for ESPN2 on Saturday, was on that Syracuse team. This will be Yale's second game of 2013 on the turf at Byrd Stadium, the home of Niemi's alma mater. Defensive coordinator Andrew Baxter (first year at Yale) will know one of the teams playing in the first game very well, and it's not Cornell. Baxter spent the previous four years as the top assistant for Ohio State.
The ESPN2 talent for Saturday includes Eamon McAnaney doing play by play, Quint Kessenich as analyst and Paul Carcaterra on the sidelines.
The Bulldogs became the first school to win a pair of Ivy League tournament titles by dispatching Penn and Princeton on May 3 and 5 at Ithaca. Tournament MVP Dylan Levings kept the ball on Bulldog sticks, winning 19 of 23 face-offs and picking up 13 ground balls. An unselfish team to the core, nine Elis registered a goal, while Brandon Mangan, Kirby Zdrill and Conrad Oberbeck each netted a pair. The defense held an explosive Princeton offense to eight goals with aid from Eric Natale, who turned in another gem with 10 saves.
The Orange have won 11 national championships, including the 2008 and 2009 titles, and they have played in 16 title games overall. Syracuse, a Big East member that is 3-0 in neutral site games this spring, won the conference tournament championship by beating Villanova on May 4.
Yale has played in the NCAAs four (1988, 90, 92, 2012) times and are 2-4 overall. The best run came in 1990 when the Blue beat Princeton in the quarters before falling in OT to Loyola at Rutgers Stadium in the semis.
The Yale men's lacrosse team has won half of the Ivy League Tournament titles. After losing its first two Ivy Tournament games, the Blue has won four straight to become the first school ever to win two. The Bulldogs entered this season's tournament as the No. 2 seed, they were a No. 3 seed in 2012 and 2010 (6-7, Princeton) and a No. 4 two years ago (7-11, Cornell).
Dylan Levings won 12 consecutive face-offs to open the contest and ending the day with victories in 19 of the 23 battles on the X in the title game victory over Princeton. In the semis, Levings took 11 of 17 face-offs, which meant he had won 75 percent of the face-offs in the two games. On being named MVP, he felt it was an honor, but said, "it's cooler to be going back to the NCAA tournament. That's definitely much more exciting to me."
Yale, which shared a league title in 2010, has won six Ivy League Championships, including the first one handed out in 1956. The others came in 1969, 1988, 89, 90 and 2010. The outright titles were in 1956 and 1989.
The Bulldogs have played 13 post-season games including seven in NCAA Tournaments and six in the Ivy League Tournament. Yale is 3-4 in NCAA games and 4-2 in Ivy appearances.
The eight New England head coaches vote each week on the top teams in the region.
1. Yale
2. Fairfield
3. Brown
4. UMass
5. Harvard
6. Providence
7. Bryant
8. Holy Cross
The Yale men's lacrosse team lost four regular-season games this spring by a combined five goals. The Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 167-128 this season.
Is a strong defense. The Bulldogs rank seventh in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just eight goals per game.
Four Bulldogs earned 2013 All-Ivy League honors. Peter Johnson received his second-consecutive first-team honor on defense. Brandon Mangan and Michael McCormack were second-team selection, while Kirby Zdrill was honorable mention.
All-American candidate Brandon Mangan was a two-time Ivy League Player of the Week this season. His first came after he led the Bulldogs with six points and four goals in the 7-6 overtime victory over No. 13 Penn. His second came two weeks later after scoring three goals and five points in the come-from-behind, 11-8 victory over Brown. In between Mangan's two awards, Colin Flaherty received Yale's third Ivy League player of the week award. The sophomore turned in a four-goal, six-point performance over a pair of Bulldog victories, and truly shined against Dartmouth, providing three fourth period scores to complete another Bulldog comeback.
The Bulldogs, after opening Ivy League play 0-2, won four straight conference matchups to clinch the No. 2 spot in the Ivy League Tournament. The May 5 victory over Princeton made it two straight. Last season, the Bulldogs lost their first two Ivy League games, caught fire and won their next nine games en route to an Ivy League tournament title and their first NCAA tournament appearance in 20 years. In 2010, the Bulldogs lost their first two Ivy League games, before winning out and capturing a share of the Ivy League title.
The class of 2013, with 12 victories this season and 43 total, have become the fifth class in the 131-year history of Bulldog lacrosse to reach 40 wins.
D Michael McCormack (West Islip, NY.), an All-America candidate, caused 23 turnovers and scooped up 60 ground balls this season. McCormack is a 2013 second-team All-Ivy pick. Last spring, he led Eli defensemen with 55 ground balls and 34 caused turnovers. McCormack, the captain, was second-team All-Ivy League and first-team All-New England last season after averaging 2.16 caused turnovers per game, good for sixth nationally.
Senior Peter Johnson (Minnetonka, MN), an All-America candidate, is a 2013 first-team All-Ivy League pick and is a finalist for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. The award is given to Division I student-athletes who show notable achievement in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. Johnson is first on the team and 10th in the nation this season with 2.19 caused turnovers per game. A first-team All-Ivy and honorable mention All-American, he caused 1.81 turnovers (16th in D1) per game last season. Johnson has been selected as pre-season All-Ivy League and All-America by insidelacrosse.com.
Junior Dylan Levings (Massapequa, NY.), an All-America candidate, was awarded MVP of the Ivy League tournament after winning 19 of 23 face-offs in the championship against Princeton, and taking 75% of face-offs overall. Levings won 17 of 19 face-offs against Providence and 22 of 25 against Cornell this season. He ranks sixth in the nation in ground balls per game, with 7.93 and eighth in face-off percentage at .592. Levings, a huge factor behind Yale's 2012 success, won 62.9% of face-offs, and an even better (.701) in league games. Against Harvard last year, he won the first six face-offs and nine of the last 10, which earned him New England (NEILA) Player of the Week honors. He had 10 double-digit win outings last season and was ninth in ground balls (6.63) in Division I.
Junior Brandon Mangan (Wantagh, NY.), an All-America candidate, leads the Bulldogs in points (61), goals (36) and assists (25), and is 21st in Division 1 in points per game with 3.81. He is a 2013 second-team All-Ivy League pick who recorded his 100th career point against Stony Brook and was twice named Ivy League Player of the Week this season. Yale's active career goal leader, Mangan started 28 games over his first two years, earning Ivy Honor Roll twice last spring before catching fire in the postseason and tallying seven goals. His biggest goal came early in his career, Mangan drained a game winning overtime goal against Princeton his freshman year.

Conrad Oberbeck, a sophomore from Greenwich, Conn., provided three goals and an assist in the 9-6 victory over Penn in the semifinals of the Ivy League tournament. Earlier in the year, he scored six goals, one short of the school's sophomore record set in 1958, against Albany. He is second on the team with 34 goals. Last season, he scored in 10 of the 16 games, and finished atop the Yale class of 2015 with 20 goals and 26 points. He received Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors on March 12 for his five goals in two games. Oberbeck, an attackman, played at Brunswick School before coming to New Haven.
Kirby Zdrill, the fourth most efficient scorer in the nation connecting on 50 percent of his shots, was named Honorable-Mention All-Ivy this year. The Edmonton, Alberta native is third on the team in goals scored with 30.
Goalie Eric Natale (Westminster, Md.) ranks eighth in the nation in goals-against average (7.93). The sophomore has made a career-high 12 saves three times this season, once in the 15-8 win over Albany, again in the 12-8 victory against Fairfield and again on the biggest stage in the semifinals 9-6 win over Penn. Last season, he started three games and played five games overall. He made two saves in a 2012 start against St. John's and stopped six shots in a win over Albany.

recipe: fresh homemade salsa
4 medium tomatoes (or thereabouts)
1 small white onion
2-3 diced green onions
1 bunch of cilantro
2 jalapenos
3 cloves garlic, diced
the juice of one lime
garlic salt
red pepper flakes
Alrighty now. Please note, I am not a professional recipe writer-upper, and I will ramble to get my point across (one of my more charming qualities). :)
When I call this a "recipe" what I really mean is a "guideline". And for the record, my husband makes this for the family, I just stand by with my bag of corn chips in hand ready to strike.
As far as the tomatoes go, the redder the better. With our last batch we had two nice tomatoes left over from our last trip to the local farmers market and when I went to the grocery store to pick up a couple more the best looking ones were roma tomatoes, so that's what we used. I don't think it matters that much. I am by no means a tomato expert.
If you like more "bite" to your salsa, use more onion. I personally prefer more green onion flavor in the salsa than "regular onion" flavor, but that's just me. You may be different.
One full bunch of cilantro. This is a must! There is no such thing in my world as "too much cilantro". Pile it on and pile it on now, please.
It goes without saying here that you need to rinse it well and then use the leaves only - discard the stems. (I actually have a TO DIE FOR baked chicken recipe that requires cilantro stems, but that's another post. I'll tell you about it next month. (LOL) Get it, next month? Ha ha...nevermind.)
With the jalapenos you need to slice them down the middle and remove the membrane and seeds. If you like hot spicy salsa you can include the membrane. If you want a milder salsa discard the membrane and seeds. We use 1/2 of the membrane from one of the jalapenos because the kids eat this too. If it were just me and my husband eating it we would use the membrane of one whole jalapeno.
Word of caution!: if you are inexperienced dealing with jalapenos please be aware that you need to be careful with the insides. Handling the membrane and seeds can really hurt your fingers, burning them and causing soreness that can last for days. I suggest you wear latex gloves or just be really careful to not handle them too much with your bare hands.
Garlic, mmmmm yummy yummy garlic. So, my husband says he uses 3 cloves, but I'd say it's closer to 4. He may make the salsa in this house, but I may add in more garlic when he's not looking. Just sayin'. ;-)
Toss in a few shakes of red pepper flakes. I suggest you start with one shake and then increase if you want more heat.
Salt and pepper to taste. We use regular salt and garlic salt pretty interchangeably in our family, and we really love garlic, so we tend to use more garlic salt in the salsa. If you aren't a huge garlic fan then you might just stick to regular salt to do the final seasoning tinkering. If you are a fellow garlic lover (or leery of vampires) just use garlic salt at this point.
Sometimes we (and by "we" I mean "my husband") will make this all by hand - dicing and chopping all the ingredients. That makes for a chunky and pretty salsa, as seen here:
"Muffin Tin Monday - meximeal"
Sometimes we just toss this all into the food processor and push the pulse button a few times. That makes for a very soupy salsa. Less visually appealing, but we think it tastes better. All the ingredients really get mixed up super well and get to know each other better.
"EasyLunchbox fiesta!"
The great thing about making something like salsa is that you can just add a little more of this or that until you get it to taste just the way you want. In that second photo we obviously added more green onion after the food processing. "We" probably added more garlic too. Just sayin'. ;-)
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for about a week or so. This salsa tastes WAY better the next day. I really recommend letting it sit in the refridgerator overnight before you dive in. It will also get spicier the older it is. By the end of the week it is spicy. Ay, caramba!
Hope you enjoy!! Oh, and don't forget the corn chips!! :)

Perfect timing. I was JUST telling hubby last night that we needed a good salsa recipe for all our home grown tomatoes that are currently sitting in buckets on my kitchen counter. Now if I can get it made before the princesses eat them all, I'll be golden! Thanks girlie!

Agreed on cilantro! I may have Chris whip some up while we're at the beach. :) I can't deal with much heat, though, and my kids certainly won't stand for it. If we left out the jalapenos altogether, what do you think it would taste like? Would it be too bland?

Shelley, if you strip out all the membrane and seeds the outer jalapeno will add good flavor without being spicy. It's the insides - especially the membranes - that make it so hot.

Just tried your salsa recipe and loved it! I used yellow tomatoes, since that's what I hade around, and also plenty of garlic and garlic salt... :)

The only thing that I don't agree with is what you said about the cilantro stems.... You've probably tried adding the stems to the salsa, but felt that they were "woody"; I included them in my salsa, and it was perfectly fine.
In my opinion, the stems only add more flavor; and I also have a sneaking suspicion that half the people out there who won't chop up the cilantro stems along with the leaves have never even tried the stem before..

Renowned executive says business must rebuild trust
Niall FitzGerald honored by International Business School's Perlmutter Institute
Former Unilever CEO and Reuters Chairman Niall FitzGerald asserted during a recent visit to Brandeis International Business School that it is imperative for corporate leaders to restore the public's confidence in business.
A Knight of the British Empire, FitzGerald addressed various business school groups after receiving the Perlmutter Award for Excellence in Global Business Leadership.
"For the first time since the end of the Cold War, there is a serious questioning of… the capitalist system," he said. "Leaders should not be left off the hook for the reckless behavior in which they indulged…. They need to acknowledge what has gone wrong, and move to rebuild trust brick by brick."
The Perlmutter Award, presented by Louis '56 and Barbara Perlmutter on behalf of the Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership, is given to leaders who exemplify a "recognized commitment to the global community and its prosperity." FitzGerald spoke of the rage over the widening gap between the rich and poor and the high unemployment rate—particularly among the young—in the United States and in Europe that has inspired massive protests, from the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York to the indignados in Madrid.
The highly respected executive suggested that business must re-establish its reputation as a place for bright young talent entering the workforce. "The view of business has been tarnished," he said. "We have to give [young people] reasons to want to spend their lives within it. Now is the time for business leaders to stand up. The price of economic freedom is moral vigilance."
FitzGerald spoke at a luncheon and in one of senior lecturer Charles Reed's classes; he also met with faculty to share his thoughts on the role that business schools can play in inspiring and molding future generations of global leaders.
A native of Ireland, FitzGerald spent 30 years at Unilever, the global consumer goods company. During his tenure as CEO and chairman, he successfully cut costs, and improved the company's profitability and cash flow.He is known for his philanthropic efforts – he is chairman of the Board of Trustees of the British Museum – as well as his passion for promoting economic development in Africa. He was chairman of the Nelson Mandela Legacy Trust in the UK and co-chair of the Investment Climate Facility for Africa. He is also a regular panelist at the World Economic Forum's annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, where he has chaired discussions about poverty on the continent.
Businesses, he said, have both moral and strategic reasons to act with "enlightened self-interest" and pursue long-term goals that are good for society. "They share responsibility for building and maintaining society. There is a difference between making money and creating sustainable wealth, and there are tough trade-offs that have to be made."
Louis Perlmutter '56, a member of the Brandeis Board of Trustees, called FitzGerald a "tri-sector athlete" who operates effectively across the business, social, and government sectors. "He is a great business leader, and also a great societal leader."
Bruce R. Magid, dean of the school, lauded FitzGerald's company leadership and humanitarian endeavors, saying it was clear that he has a "commitment to action, and a commitment to excellence."

It's that time of year again! While everyone is familiar with external protection from the sun (hats, sunblocks, etc) there's also some internal options as well. Both watermelons and tomatoes contain high levels of lycopene, which help protect against sunburn by neutralizing free radicals produced by sun exposure. Pretty cool, right? So make it a point to stock up on these two delicious fruits, especially during the sunny, summer months!

Aveda was the makeup brand used at the William Okpo NYFW Fall/Winter 2013 show earlier this year and I spoke to Janell Geason, Global Artistic Director, Aveda Makeup, on the beauty looks featured.
She said: "The look at William Okpo is heavily influenced by Mexican painter Frida Kahlo – think bohemian and nomadic. She is the girl who is not afraid to be her natural self. The brow is super strong, yet imperfect. It's forward-thinking and a bit 'out there.' This is distinctive, refined beauty, not at all about being too polished or pristine."
Here's how you can get the look at home:
1. To create a smooth and even complexion, apply Aveda Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 15. Add Aveda Inner Light Concealer where needed. To set, apply a light dusting of Inner Light™ Mineral Loose Powder with the Aveda Uruku Bronzing Brush.
2. Fill in the brows with Petal Essence Eye Definer in Cacao or Black Orchid to create a Frida-inspired look.
3. Use Aveda Petal Essence Single Eye Colour in Antique Gold from the lash line to brow, creating a beautiful wash of colour. For darker complexions, choose Aveda Petal Essence Single Eye Colour in Ginger Root.
4. Finish eyes with a coat of Aveda Mosscara in Black Forest.
5. Swirl Aveda Uruku Bronzing Brush in Petal Essence Face Accent in Peach Lights and blush cheeks to add contour.
6. Prep lips with Aveda Nourish-Mint Renewing Lip Treatment. Then colour the lips with a blend of Nourish-Mint Smoothing Lip Colour in Cana and Melochia Bloom.
The colours are earthy but vibrant and will work beautifully with most skin tones.

Who had a great 2012? We take a look at five of the biggest Canadian news winners of the year.
1. Quebec Student Movement
Photo: Quebec student protests paralyzed the province for most of the spring and summer. (AP photo)
When students at several of Quebec's largest universities first went on strike to protest against the provincial government's plan for a sharp rise in tuition fees, it seemed unlikely that the movement could succeed.
The province's Liberal government was heading into election season, and many thought then-premier Jean Charest could use the crisis to his advantage.
With a corruption inquiry looming, Charest was in desperate need of something with which to distract the electorate. With public opinion firmly in favour of the tuition hike, it looked like the Liberals might be able to use the student unrest as a wedge issue to help win another term.
The fact students in Quebec already paid the lowest tuition in the country wasn't hurting Charest's chances either.
But then the government passed Bill 78, legislation that severely curtailed the right to protest.
Opinion quickly turned against the law, and the protests began to take on a different character. The demonstrations were no longer just about tuition.
Quebecers young and old took to the streets to bang pots and pans in solidarity with the students and their ideals. Social issues, economic justice and the environment were now part of the conversation.
After a series of failures by the province to reach an agreement with the student unions, it became clear that the election would ultimately settle the dispute.
On the night of Sept. 4, Pauline Marois and her Parti Québécois won the right to form a minority government.
In a stunning victory for the student movement, the tuition hike was cancelled at the government's first cabinet meeting.
The students succeeded where so many thought they would fail and helped bring down Charest in the process.
And their victory did not stop there.
The PQ has effectively put an end to the asbestos industry in the province, will shut down the province's sole nuclear plant and has placed a moratorium on fracking for shale gas, all issues important to the movement.
In a recent interview, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, one of the student movement's most visible figures, told HuffPost that, while he is pleased with the direction the government is taking, the PQ is doing so only because of popular pressure.
And that may be the student movement's greatest victory: reminding all Canadians that our elected officials must be held to account, not only at the ballot box, but in the streets.

2. Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen

Forget Chavril, 2012 was the year of Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber.
Already one of the biggest popstars in the world, Bieber reportedly first heard Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" on the radio on a January trip home to Stratford, Ont.
In other words, 'Hey, I just heard your song, and this is crazy. But I'm Justin Bieber, so call me, maybe?'
Originally released on Sept. 20, 2011, "Call Me Maybe" was only a moderate Canadian success. The Bieber connection, however, would make the song a worldwide earworm, the undisputed Billboard song of the summer. It sat at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks – the longest reign of any Canadian artist.
The Biebs and his manager, Scooter Braun, announced Jepsen's signing to Braun's Schoolboy Records label in the U.S. on Feb. 14, 2012, the same day as the release of her "Curiosity" EP. But on Feb. 18, the song hit the stratosphere with a "Call Me Maybe" YouTube lipdub video starring Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, and other teen stars bouncing around, singing the song. After word of the event spread to Bieber's more than 20 million Twitter followers, the official video – released on CarlosPenaTV's YouTube channel – was viewed more than 54 million times as of December. The video sparked a worldwide sensation and, until a certain South Korean megahit came along, was THE viral video meme of the year, with everyone from Katy Perry to James Franco to the U.S. 2012 Olympic swim team putting their spin on the catchy jam.
"Maybe" became a coy, cheeky smash hit because of Bieber, the mogul.
Jepsen, a Mission, B.C., singer-songwriter, released her second album, "Kiss," on Sept. 18. She has sold more than 10 million digital copies of "Call Me Maybe" worldwide, making it one of the best digital-selling singles of all time. Now, the song is nominated for two Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year.
Bieber did not sit still either. "Believe," his third album, was another megahit that reached the top of the charts the week it was released. He continued to sell out stadiums and cause headaches for local law enforcement wherever he appeared. Pop music has always been a ruthless business in which hot acts find themselves has-beens in a blink of an eye. Bieber's ability to stay on top of the charts and in the minds of fickle teens round the world is eyebrow-raising, even if you don't like his music.
What's interesting about Carly Rae Jepsen's success is that it points to one possible future for Bieber. If his global celebrity fades and the crowds stop packing the stadiums, he doesn't have to fade into obscurity. His manager Scooter Braun has created a global pop-music empire. With any luck, the golden boy from Stratford will stay part of it for years to come.

3. Justin Trudeau

'Prime minister in waiting' has been Justin Trudeau's unofficial title ever since he became an MP in 2007. But it was in 2012 that Canadians actually started to think that Pierre Elliott Trudeau's first-born son might actually be up to the job.
It started with his heavily publicized boxing victory over Tory Senator Patrick Brazeau in March.
Many Canadians took one look at Brazeau's biceps and decided that Trudeau didn't stand a chance.
Trudeau, meanwhile, hit the gym, honing his skills and strategy.
On fight night, Trudeau endured savage strikes in the first round, calmly waiting for Brazeau to tire. When he did, Trudeau used his reach advantage and superior technique to score a convincing victory.
With one swing, Trudeau put his reputation as a flaky, inexperienced golden boy behind him. All of a sudden, he started to look like a real contender.
The shift in perception could not have come at a better time for the MP from Papineau.
The question of whether interim Liberal leader Bob Rae would try to stay on as the chief of the troubled party was already on Ottawa's mind. Now, it could not be considered without reference to Trudeau.
Eventually, Rae decided not to run, and it seems likely Trudeau's growing momentum had more than a little to do with the decision.
When Trudeau formally launched his leadership campaign in October, Canada's TV networks carried the speech live. Trudeaumania, the sequel, was upon us.
Then came the polls, many of them pointing to the possibility that a Trudeau-led Liberal Party could actually win a majority.
Trudeau faces at least two credible challengers for the Liberal crown in Marc Garneau and Martha Hall Findlay and has already suffered through a few campaign missteps, but it is difficult to imagine anyone else accepting the leadership at the Liberal convention in April.
And if he does win, Trudeau will be able to credit more than his famous name and boxing victory.
He has taken an unlikely stand on foreign investment, reached out to young people and made it clear he will not back down from a fight.
The next federal election is still a long way off, but Trudeau was certainly on the right path in 2012. If he can maintain the momentum, he may very well put the 'in waiting' part behind him.

4. Canada's Banks
Photo: Things were looking up this year for Canada's banks. (CP)
This wasn't the best year for banks around the world. Major names like Bank of America, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank all announced layoffs, and analysts made much ado of the shrinking banking sector, which has shed 160,000 jobs globally in the past few years
Not so in Canada, where the big five posted record profits – even in the face of deteriorating business conditions.
A quick rundown of the numbers: RBC led the way, posting a record $7.5 billion in profits in fiscal 2012, up 17 per cent on the year; BMO saw its profits jump by about a quarter; Scotiabank hit a record $6.5 billion in profit; TD saw its profit jump more than 10 per cent; CIBC's profit jump was somewhat smaller than the others.
Meanwhile, the global financial industry continued to shower Canada's banks with accolades, a trend that started with the financial crisis, when Bay Street's big names pulled through relatively unscathed. The big five dominated this year's Bloomberg list of the world's strongest banks.
And it all culminated with the poaching of Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney by the Bank of England – perhaps the clearest sign yet that Canada's financial system is the envy of the world.
What makes the banks' performance even more remarkable is that it all took place as Canada's economy showed signs of stagnation. Exports have been under pressure, and Canada fell back into trade deficits in the second half of the year. And, more important to the banks, the housing market moved into a significant slowdown, particularly the Toronto and Vancouver markets. Given their dependence on consumer lending, that bodes ill for the banks.
Canada's economy will probably only eke out a 1.5-per-cent growth rate for the year. So how does that translate into the record profits we're seeing at the banks?
For a lot of analysts, it doesn't. For all the positive earnings reports, the credit rating agencies are looking at the numbers and seeing red. Canada's banks were hit with a slew of credit downgrades this year, with Moody's downgrading RBC this summer, over "concerns about high consumer debt levels and elevated housing prices."
Standard & Poor's downgraded Scotiabank just last week, along with the National Bank and four smaller Canadian financial institutions. The agency predicted "pressure on profitability growth, especially in banks' retail businesses" – coded language for a decline in mortgage and consumer lending. Indeed, the CMHC reported a whopping 37-per-cent drop in the issuance of new mortgages in the third quarter of this year.
But perhaps more telling than any analyst's report is CIBC's move this year. Canada's fifth-largest bank shut down its low-end mortgage business, a clear sign that it wants to reduce its exposure to the housing market.
So it seems unlikely that the banks will repeat their winning performance next year. For now, however, the shareholders are happy, pundits are happy, and the employees and executives at the banks are happy, with record high bonuses coming their way.
Yet the one group that might not be happy with Canada's banks is … Canadians.
According to a survey carried out earlier this year, Canucks are growing increasingly unhappy with their banks, largely on account of rising fees.
And Canadians are also reportedly growing more pessimistic about the reliability and stability of their banks, which – given what the credit agencies are expecting – might be pretty smart of them.

5. Ryder Hesjedal

Cycling has not had a good year in the news. Lance Armstrong, arguably the most famous name in cycling in several decades, was thoroughly disgraced. He has been stripped of his seven Tour de France victories, and his many, many accomplishments have been tarnished.
Canadians do have one feel-good story to cheer about, and it could make a generation of Canadian athletes hop on their bikes or at least pay attention to competitive cycling.
After making the switch from mountain biking to road cycling in 2009, B.C.'s Ryder Hesjedal had a breakout season this year that culminated in his winning the Giro d' Italia, one of cycling's three biggest races. He did it in the most dramatic fashion. After weeks of racing up and down Italy's mountains, Hesjedal gritted his teeth and would go on to win the 3,500-km race by a mere 16 seconds.
He was only the third non-Italian to win the notoriously difficult race in the past 15 years.
"I never thought 'I'm going to win,'" Hesjedal told the Canadian Press the day he won the race. "I was always just focused on having a good ride, and I knew that would put me up there. The day I pulled on the jersey for the first time, I knew I was good and could accomplish something great and that drove me harder."
The Toronto Star's Cathal Kelly called it "among the most impressive individual accomplishments by a professional Canadian athlete. Ever." He's probably right.
And The Walrus Magazine's Richard Poplak, who wrote the definitive profile of Hesjedal back in 2011, says that the Giro win could mark the beginning of the Hesjedal era. We for one can't wait.

The San Juan Bronco football team hit the road on September 13 for their first of two road games, picking up a win against North Sevier.
Friday the 13th might mean bad luck for some, but the Broncos notched their first region win and evened their overall record at 2-2.
San Juan's defense took the field first after they won the coin toss, chose to defer and kicked off to start the game.
After a quick three and out, the Bronco offense took the field and marched 37 yards to the end zone.
The drive was capped off by Max Morley when he punched it in from five yards out. Kasper Pedersen added the PAT and the Broncos took the early lead, 7-0.
The Bronco defense rose to the occasion again as it stifled another Wolf possession. San Juan picked up right where they left off when the offense took to the field again. That success was short lived as a holding penalty soon backed the Broncos up to a first and twenty.
After an incomplete pass on first down, Jens Grover managed to get 11 of those yards back on second down. Two plays later, after a failed conversion attempt on fourth and 3, the Broncos turned the ball over on downs.
The two teams exchanged punts for much of the rest of the first quarter.
The Broncos defense decided they'd seen enough of that and came to life driving the Wolves backwards.
Two big sacks by Jens Grover (-16 yards) and Brayden Giddings (-11 yards) set the Wolves back on their own four yard line.
On the next play, the North Sevier running back bobbled and dropped a lateral pass. Hayden Brown tried to jump on the ball, but the Wolves recovered, resulting in a safety and a 9-0 Bronco lead.
Down by nine points, the Wolves came alive marching the ball down the field on their next possession for the score. The PAT missed, bringing the score to 9-6, where it stayed until the half.
The second half didn't start off too well for the Broncos after a less-than stellar kickoff return found them on their own 15 yard line.
The bad field position didn't last long, however, as Morley broke a tackle in the backfield on a busted play and proceeded to outrun the rest of the Wolves defense the remaining 85 yards to the end zone. Pedersen again booted the PAT, and the Broncos extended their lead to ten points, 16-6.
Just when the Broncos thought they had a little breathing room, the Wolves battled back. After a solid kick return put them on their 45 yard line, they proceeded to drive 55 yards on nine plays to pay dirt. The PAT was blocked by San Juan's Easton Lee, and the score remained 16-12.
San Juan was again unable to get the offense rolling on their next drive, going three and out. North Sevier took over in pretty decent field position on their own 37 yard line, but back-to-back penalties, a false start and a hold found them on their own 22.
The next play Brown and Sterling Black sacked the Wolves QB at the nine yard line forcing the Wolves to punt on fourth and long.
After a good punt return by junior Brittain Bowring, the Broncos took over with great field possession on the Wolf 23 yard line.
San Juan's rushing attack answered the call again as Grover, Morley and Terrance Tate each carried the ball on the drive, which ended when Tate snuck across the goal line for the final Bronco score. Pedersen's kick was true, and San Juan led 23-18.
Just like a bad dream, the Wolves wouldn't go quietly into the night, marching the ball down to the Broncos two yard line before falling short on a fourth and goal when Grant Laws batted a would-be touchdown pass to the ground.
Two possessions later, the Broncos went back to the ground, driving the ball down the field to the one yard line before lining up in the victory formation and taking a knee as the final seconds ticked off the clock.
Offensively, the Broncos were led by Morley, who had 114 yards rushing on six carries along with two rushing touchdowns.
Morley was followed by Grover who added 80 yards on 13 attempts. Tate and Payton Palmer both carried the ball six times for 19 and 20 yards respectively.
Defensively, San Juan was led by Grover who logged 15 tackles and a sack. He was followed by Trason Jack with seven stops; Hayden Brown and Grant Laws each had six tackles.
Next was Brayden Giddings, Chase Richmond and Sterling Black with four tackles and a sack each.
Black also forced a fumble that was recovered by Richmond. Tate and Brittain Bowring had three tackles, followed by DiQuan Lopez with two. Morley, Lee, Payton Palmer and Chase Palmer each had one stop respectively.
San Juan will climb back aboard the bus next Friday, September 20 and head west, where they will take on Parowan.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Bring On the Myth of Billy Beane
Some have described my baseball fanaticism as sociopathic in that I find great delight in the destruction and demise of my rivals.
Yeah? So?
That's why I'm super excited to hear the Cubs rumor-mill sound off on a possible Billy Beane signing as the next Northside GM. Like a sick unempathetic psychopath, I enjoy watching the Cubs die a long, painful death. So bring on the Beane!
The notion that Beane is this magical franchise-saving GM is nothing short of a mirage. If you pick through the mountains of excellent work at PoNY you will find plenty of detailed examples why. But for now, I will just focus on one: during his tenure in Oakland (1998 to present) he hasn't won anything. And if you've paid attention to the Oakland A's the last five years you've probably noticed that those teams have been ATROCIOUS.
Yes, going back some years the A's captured the AL West Division title four times (2000, 2002, 2003, 2006). But since when does being the best out of four teams and nothing else get you all the accolades of a champion? The dude is a flop! His teams are flops! And his club has no fans! Wait til he has to deal with an angry mob of 40,000 Chicagoans in that dump of a stadium as it shakes back and forth, falling apart!
So, you know what to do, Ricketts… bring on the BEANE! We Cardinal fans are lickin' our chops!
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Most Israeli officials downplayed Egypt's decision to terminate a natural gas supply to Israel, calling it a business dispute, not a politically motivated one. Egypt announced Sunday it was ending its natural gas export contract with the Israeli company East Mediterranean Gas company, known as EMG, Ahram Online said.
We are following what is happening in Egypt and hope everything will work out for the best, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israel Radio Monday in response the decision to halt the gas service. Lieberman said Israel desires to uphold its peace accords with Egypt.
Knesset member Isaac Herzog described Egypt's decision to terminate the gas supply as a
negative development but cautioned against over-reaction.
On a policy level it is clear to us all, both to Israel and to Egypt, to continue to maintain the peace treaty, he told Israel Radio. Some Israeli officials called the decision a blatant violation of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, Haaretz said.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz described the decision as one of
great concern, both politically and economically.
This is a dangerous precedent that casts a pall over the peace agreements and the peaceful atmosphere between Israel and Egypt, Steinitz said. Amapl-American Israel Corp., which owns a 12.5 percent stake in EMG, said it had been notified of the decision to cut the gas supply.
A statement issued by the company said the Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co. notified EMG that they were
terminating the Gas Supply and Purchase Agreement between the parties, Ahram Online said.
EMG considers the termination attempt unlawful and in bad faith and consequently demanded its withdrawal, the statement published on the Egyptian Web site said..
Since Hosni Mubarak was ousted as president of Egypt last year, the pipeline supplying natural gas to Israel (and to Jordan) has been sabotaged 14 times, causing the gas flow to Israel to be halted for months. The 2005 gas agreement signed between Egypt and Israel has been harshly criticized by Egyptian leaders, who lashed out at Mubarak for signing the deal and alleged he had stolen millions of dollars from the proceeds, Haaretz said.

One night before Hillary Clinton was set to address the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, a lineup of political heavy-hitters made the case for her to be the next president.
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Vice Presidential nominee Tom Kaine and Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg headlined Day 3 of the convention.
Obama called Clinton the most qualified candidate ever. Kaine introduced himself to the country before questioning Republican Donald Trump's trustworthiness. Biden and Bloomberg both hammered Trump's judgment, temperament and qualifications for the job.
On social media, reaction was swift.

Vegetarian Appetizers Recipes
Indian-Inspired Vegetarian Wonton Appetizer Recipe
Christmas celebrations are a few days away and I've been experimenting in the kitchen with new, fun appetizers that could be served that day. Whenever I host a dinner, I try to serve dishes that reflect the multi-cultural aspect of our household. The idea behind these fusion appetizers was to use Asian wonton wrappers and fill them with flavorful Indian-inspired navratan korm, which consists of a creamy curry made of nuts and vegetables.
Korma is usually served with naan (flat Indian bread) and can be messy if served buffet-style. So making little bite-sized pockets is a neat way to introduce someone to this dish. Once the filling is ready, the key is to ensure that the wonton is well sealed so the filling doesn't leak while frying. With a little practice it's really easy.

Indian-style Spinach Phyllo Cups
After learning how to make so many Indian dishes from my husband's paternal grandmother, I noticed that most meals were served family-style with chapati bread, naan, or basmati rice. Our guests love Indian cuisine, so I started to include a few of my favorite dishes, made into bit-sized portions.
I love serving finger food. It allows your guests to easily mix and mingle right before the more formal sit-down part of the meal. Palak paneer phyllo cups are one of the many appetizers I've developed over the years.
These spinach appetizers require 4 steps: forming the phyllo cups, pan-frying the cubes of paneer cheese, making the Indian spinach and cheese filling and assembling at the last minute when the guests are about to arrive. I usually do the prep way in advance so I can have a stress-free party and start the evening in a good and calm spirit.

Lavash Spanakopita (Palak Paneer Purses)
This is an Indian take on the classic Greek fare with a healthy twist. I prepared the savory "pastry" with spinach-flavored lavash bread and used palak paneer as the filling.
Many Indian dishes are served family-style and this is a great way to turn palak paneer into individual servings. We had many guests over the weekend and I served these fusion-style appetizers with raita sauce on the side.
Quick note: I'm going to be in Houston this weekend for my first interview with Cleverley Stone on her show on CBS Sports & Entertainment Radio this Saturday, August 31st at 10 am. Then I will be heading to Barnes & Noble at 2 pm for a cooking demo, followed by a book signing.

How to Cut, Copy, and Paste Text on an Android Phone
Selected text on your Android is primed for cutting or copying, which works just like it does in your favorite word processor. After you select the text, choose the proper command from the contextual action bar, which looks like a toolbar atop the touchscreen.
The action bar lists several commands. For example, to copy the text, choose the Copy command; to cut text, choose Cut.
Just like on your computer, cut or copied text on your phone is stored in a clipboard. To paste any previously cut or copied text, move the cursor to the spot where you want the text pasted.
A quick way to paste text is to touch the Paste command button above the cursor tab. To see that button, touch anywhere in the text. Not every phone features a Paste command above the cursor tab.
Some phones feature a Clipboard app, which lets you peruse, review, and select previously cut or copied text or images. You might even find a Clipboard key on the onscreen keyboard.
You can paste text only into locations where text is allowed. Odds are good that if you see the onscreen keyboard, you can paste text.
