SCC Softball Is Swept By Douglas College
The Shoreline Community College Softball Team was swept on Saturday in a doubleheader at Shoreview Park by Douglas College from New Westminster, BC by the scores of 10-2 and 15-7.
In Game 1, SCC took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first, when Alia Kelly hit a 2 run homerun, but SCC was then called out for batting out of order and the 2-0 led went back to 0-0. SCC's Kelsie Mason pitched well the first four innings, holding Douglas to one run, but DC exploded in the 5th and 6th innings for 9 runs while SCC could only respond with 2 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning. The game was called to the 8 run run. Alexis Salcedo had 2 hits for SCC and Vallen Brewer had a RBI double in the game.
In Game 2, Douglas was a hitting machine, pounding out 19 hits in the
game. The game was close after 3 innings with SCC only trailing 4-2, but a 7 run 4th inning for Douglas put the game out of reach, but SCC did rally for 3 runs in the 5th and 2 runs in the 6th, but DC scored 4 runs themselves over those innings to win 15-7 by the 8 run rule again after 6 innings. Nicole Reyling and Vallen Brewer had 3 hits each for SCC and Reyling, Alia Kelly and Greta Coleman hit homeruns for SCC. Alia Kelly took the loss on the mound.
SCC fell to 10-20 overall and 4-10 in the region. Douglas moves to 17-4 and 12-2. SCC has lost 9 of its last 10 games.
Shoreline plays Olympic College on Tuesday at Shoreview Park at 1:00pm.

Hi there!I'm quite new to making pizza's and I would like to start making my own. I created my first pizzas last week and even though they weren't great I can feel an addiction coming up! Now I've bought the right flour (high gluten) I'm looking at the rest of my ingredients, mainly cheese and pepperoni.I live in the Netherlands and pepperoni seems unatainable here. We have some chain pizzeria's (domino's) and they do serve pizza's with pepperoni but I have not been able to find it in regular supermarkets or even large supermarkets which cater to restaurants etc, thus I have no idea where they are getting their stuff from. I am not a fan at all of Salami on my pizza so the question is, is this ingredient replaceable and if so, by what?
Sopressatta is nice ?John

Disagreeing with Greg Wyshynski
Jonathan Willis
May 13 2009 08:46AM
But this Ducks/Wings fight shows us the difference between sending a message and "message sending." This was a nasty but emotionally organic bit of olde tyme hockey; none of the players on the ice were knuckle-dragging goons looking for a target at the end of the blowout…. The NHL's disciplinary system would become a parody of the joke it is if any of these players are suspended for Game 7.
Greg Wyshynski is the editor of Yahoo's excellent Puck Daddy blog, and an irreverent and outspoken columnist who has far more good points than bad ones. On this point though, I think he's letting Perry and Getzlaf's point totals blind him just a little bit.
It looked to me like Perry and Getzlaf were looking for targets. Here's a quick glance at three numbers from their two bouts: size, penalty minutes, career fights:
Getzlaf vs. Hossa
Size: 6'4, 221lbs vs. 6'1", 208lbs. Advantage: Getzlaf PIM: 121 vs. 63. Advantage: Getzlaf Fights: 10 in 297GP vs. 4 in 775GP. Advantage: Getzlaf
When you toss in the fact that only one forward in the entire league took more penalties than Ryan Getzlaf, and that Getzlaf instigated the event and threw the first punch, I think the possibility that he was looking for a target to soften up before game seven becomes incredibly likely. Still, let's move on to event #2.
Perry vs. Rafalski
Size: 6'3", 209lbs vs. 5'10", 200lbs. Advantage:Perry PIM: 109 vs. 20. Advantage: Perry Fights: 14 in 286GP vs. 2 in 692GP. Advantage: Perry
Corey Perry's another guy on the frequently-penalized list, tied for fourth among NHL forwards (one back of Ethan Moreau). Meanwhile Brian Rafalski managed to take virtually no penalties all season; an incredible feat for a defenseman. Again, we have a case where Perry clearly instigated the altercation and used it as an excuse to whale on a clearly overmatched opponent.
I didn't bother mentioning the third fight, although again in all categories Niedermayer is well ahead of Datsyuk (a Lady Byng candidate), since Niedermayer isn't exactly a fighter himself. But Niedermayer's elbow to Datsyuk's face wasn't exactly a clean move itself either, and works back to the overall point: that the Ducks blatantly provoked this incident.
Of course, the NHL has a suspension policy for players involved in an altercation in the last minutes of a game – a policy that I've never been especially fond of – but if the policy is there it should be enforced, particularly when one team has two big, tough players attacking a pair of smaller, less-willing combatants. The fact that those two players happen to be scoring stars is incidental – they clearly defied NHL policy, and neither of the "fights" was an equal contest: it was a pair of big guys beating up on a pair of smaller guys.
They won't be suspended, obviously; the NHL has repeatedly shown that it has a two-tiered justice system, one for stars and one for role players. Since Getzlaf and Perry are stars, and it would look too much like the NHL was rigging the series, they will not suspend the offenders.
If the league were just, though, neither Perry or Getzlaf would suit up for Game 7. And it wouldn't be the travesty that Wyshynski claims – it would be two players who willfully went after smaller, less physical opponents with no time left on the clock getting exactly what they deserved.
I would love to see the Ducks get a handfull of suspensions for this, but I dont think they can do it. They have been consistently inconsistent and to enforce the rules NOW would just not make any sense.
I would love to see a whole new regime in the NHL from Bettman and Daly to Colin Campbell. Redefine the expectations and be crystal clear as to what constitutes a suspension and make it apply to everyone. I prefer tough hockey with lots of fighting and violent hits. It just doesnt make sense that in this era of hockey the so-called tough guys arent allowed to be tough but the Stars are given carte-blanche.
I was watching that dust up and all I could think was how much salary was being tossed around in the form of elbows, straight arms and flying knuckles. Lots of skill in that there scrum.
Curious if you think that Niedermayer should see a suspension for his elbow to Datsyuk as well.
you know what pissed me off is TSN reporting that Ryan Malone only has 17 million left on his contract when he clearly has over 25 million left on his original 7 year deal.
I base my opinion on a much simpler system I call it the, "I have no Ducks in my Playoff Pool" System.
I say suspend them all !
@ cm: Maybe it was front loaded, which doesnt change the Cap hit but Tampa is probably more worried about real money than Cap implications.
My thinking exactly Jonathon, nice work.
It's beyond me how Getzlaf starts the whole thing then escapes with a measely 2 minute roughing penalty (to go with a rediculous 2 minute hooking penalty).
The Ducks knew exactly what they were doing and although I take little exception to it as a hockey fan, based on the image the new NHL is trying to project it will look silly when they don't discipline the Ducks for their actions.
Clearly still a lot of Duck haters amongst Oiler fans. What about Hossa grabbing Niedermeyer from behind while he was engaged with Datsyuk? 3rd man in? 10th man in? I saw it a bit different than you Willis. I thought Detroit was trying to show that they wouldn't back down or be pushed around and that they couldn't be scared by the big bad Ducks. ~I'm sure everyone would be saying the same thing about Getzlaf & Perry if they were wearing the Oil drop and the exact same thing happened. Right?~
Anyone here who wouldn't trade Hemsky straight up for Perry or Getzlaf is sadly mistaken.
Sorry JW but I think your off the mark on why they will not be suspended.
First off the rule was made to limit the boogeymen of the league from throwing down in the last 5 minutes. Ala Senators Sabres two years ago. I know Getzlaf and Perry are gritty but not even close to heavies.
Second, it is not because of star treatment that they will not be suspended but because Colin Campbell has painted himself in the corner.
Without a doubt, Scott Walker should have been suspended and he is no way a star that recieved preferential treatment. It was in the last minutes of the game, he got a 2, a five, and a game misconduct. Also, he is much easier to paint the goon brush with then your attempt at Getzlaf and Perry. However, Colin Campbell knows this is an entertainment business and the fans love those heated dustups at the end of the game between two players, not goons, but players.
Getzlaf and Perry will not be suspended, not because they are stars, but because precedant has been set and Colin Campbell would look like a fool suspending those two and not Walker.
IMO I'd say there are no suspensions warranted here. I wouldn't even call what happened 'Fights', as opposed to some rough stuff after the whistle. After the league recinded Walker's automatic one game suspension for his hit on Ward, there is no way these guys will face a suspension. And I think that's the right call. Game 7 will be better with all the stars in it.
I agree there is a two-tiered system, but in this case it benefits the fans as it'll be a better game with the two Anaheim thugs in it. My hope is that Detroit will exact their revenge on the score board as they so often do.
What about Pavel Datsyuk getting tuned? Hes not prize fighter himself.
@ Jack Bauer ~ya your right, Niedermeyer is a much more established pugilist~

I can't figure out what this has to do with what happened.
Is there any doubt that the fight broke out because Getzlaf was trying to send a message?
What happened after it all broke loose is a secondary issue.

It will never happen, so luckily I will never have to worry about the amazing level of dissapointment that will be felt by the Fans of Oilerville when the next highly touted player comes up short because he's THE ONLY ELITE FORWARD ON THE TEAM. You think Perry would come here and score 30 goals with Horc as his centre, or that Getzlaf would rack up 66 assists feeding the likes of Penner and Kotalik? Please, give up.
Will Perry come here and magically put up more points than his career high 72 that he potted while playing with Getzlaf, Bobby Ryan, Niedermayer, and Pronger? No, i doubt it. That team has the benefit of having MULTIPLE quality top line players. No matter who comes here, if the trade includes Hemsky, the returning player will be all by his lonesome.
Does anyone actually think this send a real message?
What message do you think it sends? Do you think Hossa or Datsyuk or Rafalski, will back down one bit in game seven?
No chance. I like that they stood in there. Datsyuk did fine v. Greybeard.
So what if Getzlaf takes more penalties in the regular season, he didn't like what Hossa did so he gave him a shot. That is part of hockey. No one got hurt, and there is no way that Detroit will be intimidated come game seven. If anything this will just heighten the intensity for game seven.
Three game sevens in round two...AWESOME.
SENDS a real message...
@ Archaeologuy:
If you don't think Getzlaf is better than Hemsky you are clearly wearing the COPPER and BLUE googles today. Perry is a different player, and straight up I wouldn't say he is better than Hemsky, but Getzlaf is a workhorse who can do it all.
I'd take him in a heartbeat for Hemsky.
@ Jason Gregor: I didnt say I wouldnt take Getzlaf. He seems like the real deal. 2 years of more than a point per game pace and he's a huge Centre. My biggest problem with Ross Creek's statement is that it includes Perry, who i dont think is better than Hemsky.
The main point of my reply to him though, was that it doesnt matter who is coming because elite players dont produce a massive amount of points on their own. You've pointed this out on your radio show before, there are very few elite point producers who DO NOT have other top 30 producers that play with them.
So lets say Getzlaf for Hemsky happens (it wont but lets pretend). Now the Oilers have filled the void at Centre and opened a relatively equal sized hole at RW. It doesnt turn this non-playoff team into a contender.
Getzlaf is as close to the top tier (Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, Zetterberg, etc.) as anyone else. He is a superstar, and although Perry probably benefits from playing with him, I'd still take his game over Hemsky's (I don't dislike Hemsky, I just don't think he's as good as most people here seem to think). If Hemsky's your best forward, you're in trouble. If he's your 2nd best, you're likely in good shape.
@ Arch If you got Getzlaf and moved Gagner to Hemsky's spot, they'd be a better team. Simple as that. They're not get him anyway. I just wanted to fire you up ;-)
@ Chaz:
I'm with Chaz. Sure there was some punches thrown but in my mind it was more of a scrum that got a little carried away rather then a series of fights. Hell I've seen guys get face washed in a scrum during the regular season way harder then most of the punches thrown last night.
I hate how the media, minus Wyshynski apperentley, immedietly jump all over the "holy crap there was something that happened at the end of the game everyone should be suspended otherwise someone is going to get killed" bandwagon, rather then using this as a way of getting everyone really amped for game 7. Has everyone already forgotten the Leafs/Kings series from 93 or whatever? Clark punched McSorely's eye out at the end of game one and that set the tone for one of the most exciting playoff series I can remember. This is the playoffs people. Everyone out there is going to do everything they can to help their team get even the slightest edge. If this same scenario happened with James Wisniewski, Kent Huskins, Dan Cleary, Justin Abdelkader, etc, do you think people would be talking about this? I really doubt it. Let the players sort it out on the ice and lets all just enjoy some exciting hockey shall we?
@ RossCreek: And if youre 2nd best player is Horcoff because you got rid of Hemsky youre screwed
Perry has managed to provide Hemsky like production (for 1 season) playing with Getzlaf, who as you note is as close to top tier as anyone can be. Perry's game is tough and gritty, but he isnt even close to Hemsky in terms of talent. Now, I would change my tune if Perry managed to accomplish anything without Getzlaf as his C or without one of the best Defenses in the league behind him, but that likely isnt going to be the case for a while.
@ RossCreek: Gagner isnt as good as Hemsky yet. I thought we all learned our lesson about assuming that potential would turn into reality.
@ Arch So you're saying Horcoff is currently their 2nd best forward, yet if you could make that deal, you'd be screwed because Horcoff would be your 2nd best forward? So you've upgraded your #1 player and your #2 remains the same, but you would be "screwed"?

I wouldn't even call what happened 'Fights', as opposed to some rough stuff after the whistle.
I wouldn't call Perry beating on Rafalski a fight either; it was an excuse to jump a guy much, much smaller and unlikely to fight if given a choice.
@ Arch I didn't say Gagner was as good as Hemsky (yet), but he'd be playing with a much better player than who Hemsky currently plays with.
May 13 2009, 11:12AM
@ RossCreek:
Getzlaf > Hemsky > Perry.
And just for the record, Perry's an embarrassing player to cheer for. He's a dirty player and I wouldn't like him even if he were wearing an Oilers' jersey.
Anyone who wouldn't take Getzlaf for Hemsky doesn't have a clue. Centre's with his size, skill, speed and edge come into the league about once every 3 or 4 years.
@ RossCreek: Yes, i am saying that. We were screwed this year because we all assumed the kids would take the next step, but they didnt. Instead our 2nd best forward was Horc. How far did Horc at #2 take us this season? So let's say someone can come in and score 20 more points than Hemsky, how will those 20 points translate into a playoff berth or success? The team would still be fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot. The same amount of holes exist on the team. Sure, an upgrade of your best player, but Atlanta has had Kovalchuk for HOW LONG and that hasnt taken them over the edge.

I thought Detroit was trying to show that they wouldn't back down or be pushed around and that they couldn't be scared by the big bad Ducks.
Was that Brian Rafalski was doing? Or maybe Datsyuk was trying to prove how tough he was by taking a Niedermayer elbow to the head? No, the Ducks players forced the issue and short of lying there and taking it, the Wings did the best they could (although in Rafalski's case it didn't make much of a difference).
~I'm sure everyone would be saying the same thing about Getzlaf & Perry if they were wearing the Oil drop and the exact same thing happened. Right?~
I would be. Granted, I'd be hoping they didn't get suspended, and I'd probably point to the Walker incident as an excuse if they did, but I have no compunctions about calling out dirty plays. I said earlier in the year (during the Souray/Weller fight) that if there was proof Souray used his wrist guard, he should be suspended. I also cringe when I see names like Marchment or more recently Boulerice in the lineup for the Oilers.
Some of us are fair-minded enough to dislike dirty play even when it's coming from our own teams.
@ Archaeologuy:
You seem to think the only acceptable return for Hemsky is a guy who can single-handedly launch the Oilers into cup contention. Whenever a Hemsky trade proposal is pitched you shoot it down saying the asset coming back can't "do it alone"... well neither can Hemsky; obviously.
You are probably correct: Getzlaf wouldn't produce as much away from Perry... so what? Getzlaf is still a better player than Hemsky, and his presence would probably improve Penners totals, AND his cap hit is less than Horcoff's.
Here's what I saw as an Anaheim Fan from that vid:
Getzlaf hooks Hossa (the original situation) and Hossa takes offense and comes at Getzlaf and they get into.
Then all the craziness occurs. I'm sure that Getzlaf did it to provoke something and it worked. Not saying it was right. But it's not like he jumped on his back without his knowing.
The Perry thing I didn't see what started it but once Raf was down he should have stopped. Can't defend that one.
This didn't seem to be about "sending a message" as Wysh said. This was about a situation that just got over the top due to emotions.
Nobody is mentioning that the smallest guy, Marchant, was the one going from place to place and jumping in as well. That showed to me that it was emotions.
Nieds and Dat was just an odd pairing that tells me that something else was going on. Not sure though.
Both groups had people going from place to place and trying to grab somebody off someone else. If this was a "message" or "fight" then they would have let people square off and go, but that didn't happen. People just kept jumping in - Hossa, Lidstrom, Marchant, Getzlaf. They were all pulling and pushing.
The problem for the NHL is that because everyone came in then who do you suspend? Just Anaheim? But Hossa jumped in among others. Just Detroit? But Perry went away on Raf among others. Both - then you have a disputed game 7 that will leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Best bet is to have it play out and leave it on the ice.
My .02
@ JW Didn't Datsyuk high stick Niedermeyer before the elbow? Just trying to recall from last night. I'm giving my opinions on the incidents based on watching the game live. Haven't analyzed the replays all that much but it seems we see it differently. I could be mistaken. I'll give you the Perry v Rafalski argument though because I know the type of player he is. Doesn't change how effective he is.
@ Chris: I never said I wouldnt take the trade. I've admited that Getzlaf seems to be a legit top tier player. I'm just pointing out that it wouldnt make the TEAM significantly better to gain one elite player and lose another. His Cap hit being less than Horc's means nothing except to say that the oilers would have 2 Centres making more than 5 mill a season, because the trade proposed does not include Horc.
Chris wrote:

I've already clearly stated that I dont believe there are any players who can single-handedly launch the Oilers into Cup contention. Getting rid of the best player on the team to acquire an even better player doesnt make any sense for a team that literally has no other elite forwards.
What i dont understand is the desire of some Fans for the Oilers to be the next Columbus or Atlanta. Why would anyone want to watch a team that has 1 good player?
RossCreek wrote:
Anyone here who wouldn't trade Hemsky straight up for Perry or Getzlaf is sadly mistaken.
Getz yes, Perry no.
This altercation was clearly started by Getzlaf, he pushed Hossa with goal horn going off - repeatedly - and when Hossa pushed back he dropped his gloves and whaled on him unprovoked with no time left on the clock. What happened afterwards is bad yes, but you cannot/will not suspend both teams top lines. Getz continued the fighting as it was calming down going after Hossa again. Perry was over kill - but by then you could consider it already a line fight. Hossa jumping in on Neidermeyer later when he was fighting a Wing was only after another Duck had joined it, so third man in argument on him is nullified. Datsyuk was throwing down though, but even there Neidermeyer threw the first gloved punch a second before Datsyuk. The video shows it was surely not instigated by the Wings.
I would say you would have to suspend the catalyst, and let what happened afterwards slide. The final buzzer was clearly sounded/sounding when Getzlaf swung, so not only was it in final minutes, it was AFTER the game. Stars have been thrown out of games in playoffs before, but thats not the league but the ref. Oiler goggles be damned, I agreed with Weight getting kicked out of the game way back when. This is in the rules as a suspension, and thus should be upheld that way. I agreed with them not suspending the (Hawk?) guy last week for the rule, but this is clearly different circumstances. Not Suspending Getzlaf would be a mockery of the rules and the league.
Side note: Was entertaining and should make for a great game 7, the league will probably just send Getz a thank you letter for the extra ratings. And I really enjoyed watching Neids and Datsyuk getting punched in the face - schadenfreude ftw.
@ Jonathan Willis: Agreed
Archaeologuy wrote:
The main point of my reply to him though, was that it doesnt matter who is coming because elite players dont produce a massive amount of points on their own.
Iginla has...Kovalchuk has.
Sakic in his early years...Yzerman...
The greats can do it...I'm not saying Getzlaf is that great just yet, but for my money he is one of the top ten forwards in the game.
The true top end offensive players produce regardless of their linemates. Another top-end skill guy can help them produce more that's for sure, but if Hemsky wants to be in the category he will need to put up points regardless of who he plays with.
I do agree with you that Corey Perry is benefitting more from playing with Getzlaf, than Getzlaf is playing with Perry. I like Perry as a player, but I wouldn't put him ahead of Hemsky one-on-one either.
Alright, I'll back off the Perry argument a bit. But if Dustin Brown's name was thrown around, then I'd imagine Perry's could too (hypothetically speaking). To me, Corey Perry has a shot at the Olympic team. IMO, he'd be a nice fit on the 4th line with Mike Richards and Brendan Morrow, although Shane Doan may be more likely to get the nod.

Sure it does. An upgrade is an upgrade.
Archaeologuy wrote:

I don't understand... are you saying the Oilers have only one good player now? I know the ideal situation is to bring in yet ANOTHER player to play with Hemsky. (After all; Penner, O'Sullivan, Kotalik, Sykora, Nedved, and several others have all been unable to consistantly produce while playing with Hemsky) Or, maybe after so many years the onus is on Hemsky to have an impact EVERY night with the linemates he's given.
RossCreek wrote:
@ Arch If you got Getzlaf and moved Gagner to Hemsky's spot, they'd be a better team. Simple as that. They're not get him anyway. I just wanted to fire you up
Not even close, gagner is at least 2 years away from bringing what Hemsky does.
I just hope this gets a fire under Datsyuks butt....I think the Wings will come out both barrells blazing in front of the home crowd. GO WINGS
@ OB what are you talking about! You think Horcoff and Hemsky with Gagner on the 2nd is better than Getzlaf and Gagner with Horcoff on the 2nd? You're saying Getzlaf for Hemsky is bad? Its not as though you're bringing Gagner in to replace Hemsky. You're bringing in Getzlaf!
@ The linemates make a huge difference crue.
AO put 106 as a rookie when the 2nd/3rd top scorers on his team were Zubrus/Halpren with 57/44 each.
He then dropped to 92 when Semin showed and put up 73.
And this past year was back to 110 when he had Backstrom/Semin/Green all well over a PPG.
Thorton had 96 last year when the 2nd/3rd top scorers had 55/48, this year he put up 86 when 2/3 were at 71/65
Doan, who's good, but I don't think anyone would call elite put up 73 this year when his 2/3 put up 41/36.
A couple of years ago Savard put up 96 in Boston when their top 2 wingers put up 44 and 45

I'm saying Gagner is huge downgrade from Hemsky (for the time being) and likely couldn't handle the riggers of playing against top competition.
@ Chris I wasn't even gonna respond to Arch. Thats ridiculous. To say "Getting rid of the best player on the team to acquire an even better player doesnt make any sense" blows my mind. @ Arch ~ Iginla did have Cammalleri all those years~

Climate change experts and government officials have arrived in Doha, Qatar, for yet another round of global climate talks. Olav Orheim, the chair of GRID-Arendal's board, writes in the British newspaper The Independent that while no one is holding their breath about any major breakthrough on this highly contentious issue, there might – just might – be reason to believe that at last progress can be made.
November 24, 2012
By Dr. Olav Orheim
Arendal, Norway
At the end of this month (November 27) climate change experts and government officials will once again be packing their bags and, armed with the latest, no doubt alarming, statistics about a warming planet, be heading off for yet another round of global climate talks, this time in Doha, Qatar. While no one is holding their breath about any major breakthrough on this highly contentious issue, there might – just might – be reason to believe that at last, progress can be made.
The world's two biggest CO2 emitters, China and the U.S., having played out their own very different political dramas over recent weeks, are placing climate and the environment firmly on the agenda. Within China, there is a growing groundswell of public anger about the general state of the environment and the frequency of environment related scandals – from the emergence of "cancer villages" to poisoned water supplies to contaminated food.
At the recent Communist Party Congress in Beijing – a once in a decade event signaling a leadership change – outgoing party chief Hu Jintao devoted an unprecedented entire section of his speech to what he called "environmental civilization." China, said Hu, was facing "tightening resource constraints, rampant pollution and worsening environmental degradation."
Hu pledged that in future the country would take what he described as a holistic approach to controlling and preventing pollution. How quickly and effectively Beijing acts on these ideas – and whether it makes moves to implement them on a global and not just national level – remains to be seen. But make no mistake, China's leaders realize they ignore the environment at their peril.
The environmental message has also been heard loud and clear in Washington. Global warming got precious little play in the run up to the presidential election; for the first time in many years, the environment didn't feature in any of the debates between the candidates. Mitt Romney only mentioned climate change in a throwaway, joke line at the – climate delayed – Republican Convention.
But then along came Hurricane Sandy. Whether or not Sandy – responsible for the deaths of more than a 100 and causing billions of dollars worth of damage in the U.S. alone – was a game changer in favour of President Obama in the last days of a bitterly fought campaign, will probably be argued over by the political pundits for months and years to come. Whether or not Sandy was caused by global warming will probably never be known, but what is clear is that warming oceans are making such storms ever more likely.
The effect Sandy clearly had – by striking when and where it did – was to bring the whole issue of climate very much back onto the public and political agenda in the U.S. and beyond. The sight of President Obama and the Republican governor of hard-hit New Jersey making very public common cause to bring relief offered the slightest hope that Washington gridlock could actually be overcome. Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal that kill hundreds and result in the displacement of thousands often never make it on to the global media networks. Ditto typhoons in the Philippines and other countries. Sandy struck in what is one of the world's media capitals: there was saturation coverage, beamed not only all over the U.S. but round the world.
Capitol Hill insiders say the Obama White House made a strategic decision back in 2009 to downplay climate change – it was just not seen as a vote winning issue. Instead the emphasis was placed on creating 'green' jobs and growing the green economy. Sandy has recalibrated the whole debate.
In his election victory speech, President Obama put climate change right up there, linking it with other major issues facing his new administration. "We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet" said the President.
A renewed commitment on the environment by the leaders of the world's most powerful economies comes not a moment too soon. For too long, particularly in the U.S., the climate change skeptics have been having their way.
In late 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an international body which gathers together the work of thousands of scientists around the world, will begin issuing its latest, voluminous, global assessment report. It's the fifth such report since 1990 and all indications are it will make grim reading with droughts, heat waves, floods and storms all forecast to be on the increase.
Earlier this month UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made a renewed plea for a global deal to rein in fossil fuel emissions.
"..Extreme weather due to climate change is the new normal," said the UN chief. "This may be an uncomfortable truth but it is one we ignore at our peril. The world's best scientists have been sounding the alarm for many years. There can be no looking away, no persisting with business as usual…"
We have been warned. Progress at the next round of climate change talks in Doha is vital.
Dr. Olav Orheim, a Norwegian glaciologist, climatologist and polar expert, is chair of the Board of Directors of GRID-Arendal, which is a Norwegian non-profit environmental foundation and collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) committed to bridging the communications divide between science and policy.

Hahah…this reminds me of funny story – I had spent some time with the Marines of HMLA-169th about 10 years ago. We were all in one of their hangars in Pendleton and two marines got into an argument about Star Wars 1-3 being much worse than 4-6. All of a sudden, one of the engineers (about 30 years old) sticks his around the corner and says he can't contribute to the convo because he's never seen them. The entire hangar came to a grinding halt and their Sergeant runs over and accuses him of being "Un-American and Un-patriotic" for not having seen Star Wars. I found out a few weeks later that the Sergeant had ended up procuring a projector and all 6 films and made the entire fighter wing watch them in a weekend before they re-deployed to Iraq.

One of the great things about the NFL is that nearly every team can make a case for the upcoming season being "their year." That's because every campaign sees plenty of worst-to-first turnarounds, where non-playoff teams from the year before suddenly find themselves in postseason contention down the stretch.
Conversely, that also means that there are plenty of franchise that go into a season with playoff aspirations that fail to meet those expectations. Atlanta and Houston are two prime examples from 2013. Nearly every year, half of the teams who made the postseason the year before find themselves on the outside looking in when the NFL's tournament commences again.
Thus, there are certainly going to be plenty of franchises who find 2014 to be disappointing. Right now, they consider themselves contenders, viable candidates to make the playoffs, win a game or two and perhaps even make a Super Bowl run. But when the dust settles on their 16-game odyssey, they'll have come up short of their dreams for one reason or another.
With that in mind, it's time to take a look at the teams most likely to fall into that category in 2014. To see the 10 NFL "contenders" that won't make the playoffs this season, CLICK HERE.

The Green River Pirate boy's basketball team enters the New Year with a 5-4 record after splitting games last week at the Wayne Holiday Classic played at Wayne High School. Last week on Thursday night, host Wayne defeated Green River 52-47 and then on Friday night the Pirates defeated Altamont 63-55.
Despite 30 points from Justin Johnson, Green River could not quite defeat the host team. Green River grabbed the early lead at 14-9 after the first quarter but Wayne outscored Green River in the next two quarters to take a six-point lead into the final period. The Pirates won that period 12-11 to get to the final score.
Besides Johnson's points, Erick Mendez scored six, Nick Corrigan scored five including Green River's only three-pointer, Spencer Marshall scored points and Adrian Escalante scored two points.
Both Wayne and Green River hit 22 baskets in the game but Wayne had two three pointer to only the one for the Pirates. Green River was outscored at the free throw line by four as the Pirates went only two for 10 in the game.
Against Altamont, Johnson led the team again, this time with 28 points. Green River outscored Altamont 18-12 in the opening quarter, increased the lead to 30-20 at the half. Altamont won the third quarter 13-11 and then both teams scored 22 points in the final period. Mendez scored 19 points in the game with Escalante scoring nine points. Jordan Olsen scored five points and Marshall scored two points. Justin Johnson is the leading scorer in the state of Utah with 32.56 scoring average after nine ball games.
Green River plays at West Ridge Academy this Saturday night and then at Pinnacle Academy in Price the following Friday night.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Two Staten Island University Hospital volunteers and one auxilian were honored March 15, 2013, at the Waldorf-Astoria during the 20th annual United Hospital Fund's Hospital Auxilian and Volunteer Achievement Awards ceremony.
Leondina (Dina) Caccavo, Katherine (Kay) Cappetta and Susan Lamberti will be among 86 volunteers feted with a luncheon in the Grand Ballroom of the renowned Manhattan hotel.
Cheryl Wills, NY1 news anchor, will speak to some 750 people expected to attend the event, which recognizes those who provide exceptional service to hospitals in all five boroughs.
Ms. Caccavo began serving in the gift shop at the North Site in 2006. In all types of weather – rain, sleet, snow – she can be counted on to come in to work via mass transportation to man the register and mentor to the junior volunteers assigned to the shop.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Ms. Cappetta volunteered in the hospital's Company Store helping employees impacted by the storm obtain needed household supplies. In 2011, she was a Volunteer of the Year and was recognized by the Staten Island Interagency Council for the Aging. The SI Network of Volunteer Administrators recognized Ms. Cappetta in 2012. To date, she has donated more than 2,700 hours of service.

After retiring in 2001 from the NYC public school system, she became a director of Northfield Bank, where she also serves as chairperson of the Northfield Bank Foundation. In addition to the many charitable organizations she is involved within on Staten Island, she also serves as an elder at Olivet Presbyterian Church.
For the last four years, Ms. Lamberti has been a member of the hospital's Service Auxiliary, helping with fundraising events and co-chairing the Auxiliary's 2011 Fashion Show, which benefitted hospital programs and projects.

Great Shoe!
"I am still amazed how comfortable this shoe is! The very first time I wore these shoes, I kept expecting the pain to start just any minute--but it never happened. I am more than pleased to find a pair of heels that is just as comfortable as it is beautiful."

wow....I'm impressed so far
"these shoes had me a little worried at first. One, I don't go for skinnier heels normally, I tend to like wedges and more stable, thicker heels. But, they looked so darn cute, I thought I would give them a try. Tried them on out of the box and wow, they were darling. They looked very narrow in the footbox and that had me worried, but actually didn't feel too narrow or tight; after wearing for a full day, ask me again what I think about that - my thoughts may change. Heel didn't feel too high and didn't feel shaky. Platform felt solid and they actually make your foot look smaller and more dainty. These are keepers so far."

LOOOOOVE Them
"I wear a size 11. These shoes were a size 10. So I thought they would be perfect for my friend who wear a size 10. So I tried them on. And I forgot about my friend and bought them for myself. By the way my friend love the shoes she never got. I do feel a little guilty. But hay these shoes were way out the box for me. This was my first floral print. And I love them."

Pretty Print but a bit harsh
"The heel height appears tall, but it doesnt feel tall or unstable because of the platform to the front. I prefer a slightly roomy toe box and some regular widths squeeze my toes and cause me pain; this toe box isn't to wide so it squeezes a little. The upper edge of the shoe on one side is abrasive against my skin (just by the ankle area). I ordered my regular size 9, but its a little long and is flapping on one side. The length of an 8.5 would have been better for this one, but the toe box may be too snug."

Love those shoes!
"I received nothing but compliments the first time I wore these shoes. They make a real statement and go with so many of my clotes. With the wedge they don't even feel that high. The only problem I had was with heel slippage. I put some paper in the heel and it worked better. I would recommend these to my friends. Great shoes!"

The December Dilemma of Accepting Christmas
A Phoenix man celebrates the holidays with Chinese food and a lit Christmas tree/Chanukah bush in the background. (photo: Daniel Greene/Flickr)
Chanukah begins on Wednesday night this year. Tonight. December 1st. Yes, it is confusing. Even we Jews are confused. Why — everyone is wondering — does Chanukah coincide with Christmas some years and, in other years, Chanukah arrives weeks before?
The answer is that the Jewish calendar is different from the secular calendar. The Jewish calendar is lunar, and the secular calendar is solar. Since each Jewish month is only 28 days long and the secular months are 30 or 31 days long, after a few years the Jewish calendar and the secular calendar become out of sync. The Jewish calendar corrects this by actually adding an extra month every few years in order to get things back to normal. This spring, there will be an extra Jewish month (Adar II) added, and, by next Chanukah, Christmas and Chanukah will coincide once more.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Chanukah is really a very minor holiday in the Jewish year. The Jewish holy days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Passover are much more important than Chanukah. But due to its (sometimes) proximity to Christmas, Chanukah has become much more important than it was originally intended to be, especially in the United States.
And then, of course, there are the presents. Eight nights of presents. Growing up in a mostly Catholic neighborhood, the only way my parents could convince us that celebrating Chanukah was a good thing compared to our neighbors' exciting Christmas celebrations was by giving us eight presents: one for each night of Chanukah. Yes, our neighbors had the Christmas tree. Yes, they had Santa Claus. Yes, they hung stockings by the fire with care. Yes, they had Christmas carols. Yes, they had the beautiful decorative lights hung on the bushes and trees. But we had eight nights of presents.
In general, Chanukah traditions are much simpler than Christmas traditions. You light the Chanukah menorah. You sing some songs. You spin the dreidel (a special top). You eat chocolate gelt (coins). You eat potato latkes (pancakes). You get some presents. You give some presents. Repeat for eight nights. End of story.
Christmas traditions seem much more complicated and stressful to me. Procuring, transporting, and putting up a live tree in your living room. Decorating the house, inside and out. Buying expensive presents for everyone in your family. Cooking a special Christmas meal. Traveling to be with family. The whole Santa Claus thing. On the other hand, Christmas takes up a huge chunk of space in the American consciousness. It's really, really hard to be left out of the Christmas festivities when all the radio stations are playing Christmas music, every other TV show is about Christmas, houses are decorated with Christmas lights, every store is loaded with Christmas paraphernalia of all kinds, everyone wishes you Merry Christmas, etc.
As a child, I really, really, really wanted to celebrate Christmas. In spite of the eight nights of presents. I wanted a tree. I wanted a stocking. I wanted Santa. I wanted all of it. Now that years have passed and I have a child of my own, I think things are somewhat better in our multicultural, pluralistic, internet-connected world.
My son is interested in Christmas, but he doesn't seem quite as jealous as I remember feeling growing up. We generally celebrate Christmas with a close family friend, and, after decorating her tree and exchanging presents, he seems to have had enough of Christmas for one year. But the "December dilemma" remains. What does it mean to be Jewish during a prolonged, public, and pervasive holiday season? It becomes even more complicated for interfaith couples, now a large proportion of Jewish families. Do they buy a Christmas tree even though they are also celebrating Chanukah? Do Christmas ham and potato latkes go together? Can Santa visit as well as Judah Maccabee? I'm not sure if we will ever solve the "December dilemma" here in the United States.
Meanwhile, I'll sing along to Christmas carols on the radio, enjoy the pretty lights around town, wish my neighbors Merry Christmas, light the candles, spin the dreidel, eat latkes, and hope that the next generation does it even better.

It may not even be lunch time yet but our 2nd day here at PROJECT is well under way. We were able to catch up with Chelsea Scott, the owner of Dzojchen (doh-jen). Originally based out of London and Singapore, the brand is taking its first steps onto American soil at the show this week. Scott believes that good denim shouldn't have to follow the trends of a season, but rather be able to transcend through collections. By having a few elements that pop, like asymmetrical zippers, pleats, leather accents and unique inseams, Dzojchen denim maintains a classic and simple look with comfort being a top priority. Head on over to the Dzojchen online store to be the first of your friends to rock Dzojchen before it hits U.S. stores later this year.

PALOS HILLS—The Carl Sandburg College volleyball team saw its season end with a 25-21, 25-13, 19-25, 25-12 loss at Moraine Valley on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Region IV tournament.
Sophomore middle hitter Caitlin McVay (Rockridge) and sophomore setter Lexa Mahr (Macomb) each posted double-doubles in their final match for the Chargers (21-18). McVay notched team highs of 16 kills and 15 digs, and Mahr had seven kills and 10 digs while handing out a team-best 29 assists. Sophomore outside hitter Lorren Newingham (Pekin) had seven kills as well as four blocks.
Moraine Valley, which swept the Chargers in August at the South Suburban Invite, advances to Saturday's Region IV Final Four on Saturday at Lake County.
The match ended the Sandburg careers for sophomores McVay, Mahr, Newingham, Ashlynn Winkler (United), Sadie Van Norman (United) and Erika Hibberd (Pekin).
"We just ran into a better team tonight," Sandburg coach Todd Winkler said. "It's always tough to have your season end short of where you hoped, but I think we had a pretty good year. We have a strong group of sophomores who had great careers for us, and we're really going to miss them."

"I normally wear size 5 in sandals and size 6 in tennis shoes, but this 5.5 fits perfectly. I have a very narrow heel, so the only thing I would say negative about this shoe is that I wish it came in narrow. I love the light weight of the shoe."

comfort and style
"Absolutely a shoe of comfort, cushions your feet as you walk, run and play. So many compliments for the stylish look and lovely colors. If i had four feet I would gladly buy another pair. Without a doubt a pair to have."
