- Brett Favre
- Sarah Palin
- Michael Jackson's children
- Kate Gosselin
- Adam Lambert
- Tyler Perry
- Jenny Sanford
- Glenn Beck
- Lady Gaga
So, what or who do you think a Lady Gaga is? I'd be fascinated to know.
What a list. Mainly just people in entertainment news? She might be a singer. And who in the heck is Glenn Beck?
Lady Gaga is one of those famous for being famous people, who has made a lot of capital out of being famously bisexual. She only ever seems to be mentioned as being with men, though. Maybe she's only "bi" when her boyfriend is around. *smirk* There's a lot of that going around.
Tbh, you couldn't pay me to sit with most of the people on that list. I don't know who Jenny Sanford is. I'd like to meet Kate Gosselin (she's CUTE and handy with a zinger aimed at dum-dum John!). Tyler Perry seems like he would be interesting. But the rest? Please. Security!
I am so not hip, because although I know who all of these people are, I don't find any of them fascinating.
Santa Puppets
i love lady gaga - her songs rock, poker face and let's dance (great to run to). as for her crazy perfomance art and dressing. it is entertaining and at least it is someone new in the mix. giving madonna a run for her money.
perezhilton talked about her very eraly on....
Barbara please Lady G!! WOW are we really in that short of a supply of fascinating people.
I don't know who lady gaga is either.
Sarah Palin is fascinating? Wow. Who knew?
I guess I must have seen Lady Gaga perform, but not quite extraordinary...you know what I mean, hehehe...thanks for the visit. Namaste.
Good heavens! Half of those, I don't know who they are. Some others, I wouldn't consider them fascinating. Who, among those, did something really extraordinary to be considered fascinating? I wonder...
You will always be hip in these eyes, MZ! But there are so many more fascinating people in the world than those listed!
Back to Lady Gaga.
Michael Jackson got torn apart for his weirdness! I think his true bohemian spirit paved the way for those who are capitalizing on being different in the entertainment business. Whether it's all publicity or it's the real deal, one would have to be her fly on the wall, me thinks!
Hahaha, yeah it's hard to keep up!! She's a musical entertainer. But this list just made me laugh... really?!?
these are 2009 most fascinating people... must have been a slow year...
You have to remember that this is "HER" list. It isn't your list or mine. It's hers. So who is fascinating to her isn't necessarily to you or me.
I expect a bit more from Baba Wawa. It would be nice to have someone with brains on that list. I guess I'm an intellectual snob! I do know who most are though- Lady Gaga is a Madonna clone- heavy muscular style dancing- rather mechanical and heavy on the sex objectification, singing incidental and over produced. Now if Leonard Cohen was on that list I'd be cool with that!
I've just watched Lady Gaga on the X Factor!
Kate Gosslin? Really?
send her your pic in tee shirt regalia!
even ba-ba needs enlightenment from MZ!
The gaga I know about...but I have no idea who Jenny Sanford is and I doubt I'll watch to find out - lol!
Lady Gaga is very popular right now. She could be this generation's Madonna. Glenn Beck is just a fool!
How dare she leave you out of the list! Humph.
Lady Gaga is a very famous singer at the moment. I like her music, and she is typically not my preferred genre at ALL. But she's different, and I like that.
Glen Beck is a professional asshole.
Are you living in a cage woman? LOL. Lady Gaga is the bomb...but...I've heard she's a man...WOOT!!! publicity stunt I tell you. What shocked me even more is that Mama Zen didn't make the list. Now see, ya should have made more of a presence at the book singing...For sure you would have been in the top 10 if ya had done that :) Have a wonderful week ahead :)
Okay, I've heard the name Lady Gaga, but that's about it. My impression was that she's another pop diva in the Speas-Aguilera-Pussycat Doll mold, which immediately dropped her off my "interesting" radar. I mean what's interesting about another carbon copy popslut? Seriously.
And when did Baba Wawa go to work for Fox News? Glenn Beck?? WTF?? I suppose he's interesting in the same way as a new strain of flesh eating bacteria might be. Sarah Palin? Interesting in the same way that a train wreck might be.
I note Katie Couric didn't make the list. Too bad. that could have made the awards ceremony very interesting.
Or perhaps she's the 10th of 10. Yeah, that must be it.
And you should have totally made the list. If Couric isn't the 10th, I hope it's you. then you can confront Hockey Mom Nazi with your... I forget what it says t-shirt. (But I'll make it for you if you tell me where to send it. I'm good like that.)
Aww, I'm sorry you didn't make the cut MZ. There's always next year, right?
she sang the song "just dance" :-)
thanks for dropping by my blog.. see u again!
i am surprise lady Gaga made the list.. i know she is an entertainer etc but there r many others just as talented
no loss to you that you don't know who lady gaga is. mind you, i don't know most of them...
You don't know who Lady Gaga is????
***Falls flat on his face***
Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite.
I guess she hasn't decided yet on who she really wants to be and I mean I think that its rather grand of her to be and accept how she was born and to use it to her advantage.
It takes guts.
all you would have to do is see her once, she has so little to hide...lol.
Dare I admit how many names on this list I don't recognize??? Sigh!
Hugs and blessings,
MZ, it's an honour not to be on that list, because it's frankly a crap list. I hope Barbra's joking.
I didn't know half the people on it so had to look them up, and honestly...it's more like a celebrity freakshow than a quality shortlist.
I thought lady gaga was a singer. But there are others on the last that I'm afraid to admit, I have no idea who they are.
Huh, I would have had a different list.
Crap. I didn't make the cut either.
Did Barbara weawlly know who Wady Gaga was?
I can't tell Lady Gaga's song as any other trash on the radio either. I only know her because of her Kermit Frog outfit. (Oh my eyes...) Unbelievable how she repeatedly topped the Bejork's swan dress.
All I know about her is that she invented the disco stick. I think it's a personal toy or something. (I'm catching up on my reading today after 9 long weeks of graduate school hell.)

(4) Class D authorizes raffles only; eff. 6/20/00
Section 499:15. General.
Subd. 1. The provisions of this Code are additional restrictions placed on gambling by the City. If this ordinance conflicts with any of the laws or regulations referred to in Subd. 1 of Section 3, the more stringent shall apply.
Section 499:20. Gambling Prohibited Unless City Permit Obtained. No person, except an organization which is licensed by the State or has a valid exemption permit from the State, and which also has a permit or approval from the City, shall conduct lawful gambling within the City. Such City permits shall be obtained each time an exemption permit is sought from the Board. All permits required by this Section or State Statutes shall be prominently displayed during the permit year at the premises licensed to conduct gambling.
Section 499:25. Filing of Records and Reports, Access to Records and Inspections.
Subd. 1. Every organization permitted to conduct lawful gambling in the City shall quarterly file with the City the following reports:
(i) The G-1 Monthly Tax Returns and all Required Schedules (Minnesota Department of Revenue); or
(ii) Schedule CD-LG 1010 (Gambling Control Board); eff. 6/20/00
These reports are due thirty (30) days after the quarter ends.
Subd. 2. Unless the information is shown in the documents filed under the preceding subdivision, every organization not exempt from State licensing shall file an additional report with the City proving compliance with the Trade Area spending requirement imposed by this Section. Such report shall be submitted annually on or before June 30th. eff. 6/20/00
Subd. 3. A copy of any lease agreement between a nonprofit organization and an on-sale licensee shall be filed with the City Administrator with the premises permit application. The information submitted to the City shall contain a copy of the signed lease and a sketch showing the leased area; provided, however, with respect to organizations owning their own building, a lease and sketch are not required. eff. 6/20/00
Subd. 4. All licensed or permitted gambling operations are deemed to have consented to inspection of the licensed or permitted premises by the City.
Subd. 5. Authorized employees or agents of the City may inspect, at any reasonable time without notice or search warrant, all records, including gambling accounts and other bank records required by the Board to be maintained and preserved.
Section 499:30. Premises Permits.
Subd. 1. An organization shall make application for a premises permit on a form prescribed by the Board. eff. 6/20/00
Subd. 2. Upon receipt of the pending application for a premises permit, the City Council shall, within the time allowed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 349 or Board Regulations, adopt a resolution either approving or disapproving the application.
Section 499:35. Premises Permit Limitation.
Subd. 1. Limitation on premises permits. No organization shall hold more than three (3) Class B premises permits at on-sale licensed liquor establishments in the City.
No organization shall hold both a Class A premises permit and a Class B premises permit in the City.
A licensed bingo hall may have more than one organization holding a Class A or Class C premises permit at the bingo hall provided at least one of the organizations is a "local organization" (as defined by Section 10, subd. 3).
Subd. 2. On-sale liquor license establishment. Except for a Class D permit, no more than one (1) lawful gambling premises permit shall be approved for an on-sale licensed liquor establishment in the City. If an on-sale liquor establishment is already the subject of an existing Class A or Class B or Class C premises permit, the City will not approve another Class A or Class B or Class C premises permit for the same location; the only other premise permit that may be approved is a Class D permit.
Subd. 3. Priority in approval process. It is anticipated that there may be more than one organization applying for a Class A or Class B or Class C premises permit at a single on-sale liquor establishment. Therefore, the following criteria, in the order listed, prioritizes and determines the approval for the one available premises permit:
First, renewal applications will be preferred; an organization renewing its Class A or Class B or Class C premises permit at the on-sale liquor establishment will be preferred over an organization that does not already have its premises permit at the on-sale liquor establishment.
Second, if there are two or more applications and if a renewal application is not involved, then a "local organization" will be preferred over an organization that does not meet the definition of a "local organization." Because of the nuisance prone nature of gambling compared to other licensing or permitting activities within the City of Owatonna, the City prefers that the organization have a local connection so as to facilitate investigation of applicants and the investigation and arrest of any violators. In situations where a renewal permit is not involved and where two or more organizations seek to have a Class A or Class B or Class C premises permit at the same on-sale liquor establishment, the organiza-tion that meets the definition of a local organization will be preferred over an organization that does not meet the definition. For purposes of this Section, a local organization is an organization defined by Minnesota Statute Section 349.12, Subd. 28 that also meets all the following criteria:
(a) The organization has at least fifteen (15) members that are current residents of the City of Owatonna; and
(b) The physical site for the organization's head-quarters or the registered office of the organi-zation is located within the City of Owatonna and has been located within the City of Owatonna for at least two (2) years immediately preceding application for a license; or
(c) The organization owns real property within the City of Owatonna and the lawful gambling is conducted on the property owned by the organization within the City; or
(d) The physical site where the organization regularly holds its meetings and conducts its activities, other than lawful gambling and fundraising, is within the City of Owatonna and has been located within the City of Owatonna for at least two (2) years immediately preceding application for a license.
Third, if no renewal is involved and if two or more non-local organizations seek approval, the City Council will approve the organization that applied first.
Section 499:40. Lease.
Subd. 1. Lawful gambling at on-sale establishments. Lawful gambling at on-sale liquor or club license establishments shall be conducted in compliance with the following regulations:
(a) Only Class B and Class D gambling licenses, as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 349.16 may be issued, except where the licensed gambling organization also holds the liquor or club license for the premises, in which case, any class of gambling license may be issued;
(b) On-sale establishments shall be limited to one licensed gambling organization at any one time in the licensed premises and any rooms adjoining the premises under the same management. No lease shall be made with one organization while another lease is in effect for the same on-sale establishment;
(c) Every agreement between a nonprofit organization and an on-sale premises for gambling shall be in the form of a written lease. The written lease shall be the complete agreement between the parties, and there shall be no unwritten terms or conditions. The lease specifically provides that the lessee shall operate only after issuance of a premises permit and shall be subject to the terms of this ordinance;
(d) A lease agreement between a nonprofit organization and an on-sale establishment shall not provide for rental payments based on a percentage of receipts or profits from lawful gambling. The maximum rental fee shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per month;
(e) Except for mechanical dispensing devices, all gambling shall be conducted from a booth, or other area properly segregat-ed from the rest of the licensed premises, except that raffle tickets, paddlewheel tickets and tipboards that offer only merchandise prizes may be sold within the permitted premises. The physical layout of this area set aside for gambling shall be subject to the approval of the fire chief;

Department of Biological Sciences
Biology is the scientific study of life: its diverse forms, processes, environments and systems. At Bridgewater, we prioritize hands-on biology learning in our well-equipped laboratories and through fieldwork and ecological studies in the multiple different habitats located close to campus.
Our goal is to provide undergraduates with a broad background that gives them career flexibility, and to provide graduate students with opportunities to develop skills and knowledge in more specialized areas.
Dr. Carson joined Bridgewater State University in 2000. His expertise is with both classical genetic analysis and molecular genetics and he teaches Genetics and Human Genetics for majors, Human Heredity, and other non-majors biology courses. Dr. Carson's research relates to proteins that control cell division in the bacterial species, Escherichia coli. Approaches to this problem include isolation of new mutants, a technique that is very amenable to involving undergraduate students in research projects. His additional interests are in bioinformatics and the social and medical implications of genetic and molecular genetics technologies such as DNA fingerprinting, genetic testing for human disease and gene therapy. Dr. Carson spends off-hours with his family, numerous animals and loves the beaches and whales of New England.

Christopher Bloch joined the faculty of Bridgewater State University in the fall of 2006. His primary teaching responsibilities include General Biology II, Ecology, and Biometry (experimental design and statistical analysis in biological research). Dr. Bloch's research interests lie primarily at the population and community levels of ecological organization. Currently, the principal focus of his work involves the effects of natural (e.g., hurricanes) and anthropogenic (e.g., logging) disturbance events on population dynamics and community structure. Most of this work has used terrestrial snails as a model organism, but he has studied a variety of organisms, including whip spiders, rodents, and bats, in tropical and temperate systems. He also maintains an interest in the mechanisms that generate broad-scale patterns of biodiversity. He actively involves Bridgewater students in his ongoing research on the ecology of terrestrial snails in Puerto Rico as well as local projects focusing on effects of habitat loss and fragmentation.

Dr. Krevosky joined the faculty of Bridgewater State University in the fall of 2002 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. Her responsibilities include teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology (lecture and laboratory) as well as the introductory Biology laboratory course. Additional courses include Animal Physiology (lecture and laboratory) as well as other upper level Biology courses. Dr. Krevosky's research interests focus on the study of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, of cancer cells. Many cancer cells acquire genetic mutations or express proteins that prevent cell death following therapeutic intervention (chemotherapy, irradiation). The study of the basic mechanisms of cancer cell death may lead to the identification of novel targets for the treatment of cancer. Dr. Krevosky looks forward to the opportunity to work with Bridgewater undergraduates to introduce them to cellular and molecular biology techniques used in cancer research. Knowledge of cellular and molecular biology will enable Bridgewater students to become well-rounded and successful scientific researchers at the undergraduate level.

Boriana Marintcheva joined the faculty of Bridgewater State University in the Fall of 2008 as an Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, where she currently teaches Introductory Biology, First Year Seminar, Cell Biology and Virology. Dr. Marintcheva's research interests focus on the biology of virus-host interactions using bacteriophage (bacterial virus) T7/ Escherichia coli model system. Knowledge about the specifics of virus-host interactions in different systems has allowed the development of preventive and therapeutic measures aimed at diminishing the negative impact of viruses on human health, and using viruses for practical purposes such as biotechnology and drug delivery. While bacterial viruses are harmless to humans, they function in similar ways to animal viruses and often employ simpler molecular machinery. Historically, many aspects of viral biology were initially understood using bacteriophages and then applied to the more complex systems of animal viruses. In her research Dr. Marintcheva uses techniques from molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry. She hopes to involve Bridgewater students in her research program and share her knowledge and enthusiasm for science.

Bill Murphy is the CTO of Blackstone, where he leads the Blackstone innovations and infrastructure team.
Bill Murphy of Blackstone describes why user experience is an underappreciated critical success factor.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
PwC: Bill, can you please tell us about your role and responsibilities at Blackstone?
BM: I came to Blackstone about two years ago to lead the technology team after leading product and technology at Capital IQ for 11 years. My strategy has been to take a product-like approach and architect a transformation that positions our team to be proactive and to focus on creating long-term efficiencies for our professionals who are doing everything from private equity, real estate investing, and hedge fund solutions, to our credit business. We're the largest alternative asset manager in the world, which brings unique opportunities to use technology effectively.
As you can expect, we face some information challenges and workflow challenges to keep our professionals as productive as they can be. Our overall goal comes down to creating transparency inside of Blackstone as well as with our investors in ways that haven't been typical in the alternative asset management world.
PwC: How do you tackle these challenges?
BM: We do that in how we design the user experience to handle information. The only way to truly design the right experience is to be in the middle of the business, understand all the problems, and then you can work to create the right solutions. I equate the process to be like one of those magic eye paintings, where you stare at a painting and then suddenly the picture comes into focus. You don't necessarily know what the solution is going to look like, but if you concentrate and focus on it, a clear picture usually arises.
That's my view of building systems for our industry. You need to put the right information or a lot of information in front of the right people in a way that makes it easy for them to consume it and come up with the new opportunities, the new products, and the new creative ways to invest—to see something that others haven't seen yet.
In terms of use cases for value add, we aim to take away as much stress as possible from the easy stuff, by automating the routine and mundane actions, and give users more time to focus on the higher-end pieces of what they need to do.
PwC: How does this view impact the future of the applications you are investing in?
BM: My view is that in enterprise IT, applications are going to win every time. The infrastructure stuff is just a means to an end. As soon as a great SaaS [software-as-a-service] application emerges in a space, it is extremely disruptive and drives out the legacy solutions eventually. So, we're investing in apps that meet our needs and make us more efficient, and we're integrating them together to unify the user experience as much as possible.
Also, we build mainly web applications, and our strategy has been to build them in a very touch-friendly way, so they would be very usable on a phone or a tablet. We are doing responsive design, building web applications in ways that render very well to phones and tablets.
PwC: Enterprise applications have a long history. What characteristics are you focused on for the future? Have design principles evolved over time?
BM: Absolutely. We see a trend that the apps people use at home generally are much more usable than the enterprise applications they have at work.
The user experience is the key underappreciated enterprise critical success factor. We have been kind of maniacally focused on making that user experience world class in our web apps. It is really about what can one do to provide information in an easy-to-digest fashion and take action on that information in as little time as possible, because every minute of our professionals' time is valuable.
Another aspect of making the user experience fantastic is personalizing it to the user type. I think the technologies that fail are the ones that put the onus of personalization on the individual user. The technologies that succeed are the ones that figure out how to tailor the experience without the user knowing about it.
I also think that users are more and more unwilling to spend the time to learn your system. Therefore, you really need to strive to create the experience they want to have without working at it.
PwC: So in some sense what you're saying is that instead of the user adapting to the app, the app adapts to the user?
BM: Right. It adapts to the user by being so well designed that it just feels right and doesn't cause a major disruption from their existing work processes, unless it eliminates the work, of course.
PwC: Where are you seeing new opportunities to deploy apps?
BM: Think about Wayne Gretzky. He was the best hockey player ever, because he didn't skate to where the puck was; he skated to where the puck was going to be. One significant opportunity I see is to build applications that anticipate two steps ahead where the user will be and provide support accordingly—almost like augmenting users with the best possible personal assistant who is with them all the time. Google Now is an example of that in the consumer space and a good proxy for the trend in apps that we are all going to be benefiting from in the next 10 years.
If we can use technology to do that in the enterprise, we will have achieved a lot of productivity gains.
PwC: You said the user experience is the most underappreciated critical success factor. How do you get your teams to focus on the user experience?
BM: If you think about all the great innovations, they're typically from people who can understand their problem set so deeply that they can then reimagine and think differently and not accept the status quo. So a good design principle is to focus on the problems at hand, understand them in excruciating detail, and extrapolate them out to the right solutions using the latest in technology.
The bridge between the business and an excellent solution is best provided by technologists from the product development team who are completely engrossed in the business, so they can help make those decisions and not rely on just asking somebody.
I liken my designers to journalists, where the most important part of their job is to come up with the right questions so they can draw out the important problems of our user base. Once we understand the problems, we're pretty confident we can solve them. I think most of the subpar solutions in the world come from poorly designed problem sets.
PwC: Do you use any formal methodology?
BM: Our methodology is to communicate early and often and be with our users every step of the way, so we can design the solution that results in the best user experience. Because there are so many different methodologies, we try to cherry-pick them through the life cycle. For instance, we pick the right methods from agile to help us be iterative, the right methods from waterfall to manage the project based on the resource constraints, and the lessons from the other methodologies. I don't think there is one right methodology. It's about adapting a collection of methods to your culture and the tools at hand to create the right experience. Basically, use a common sense approach all along the way.
We have an open forum design process, where everybody gets in a room to talk about the problems and then the proposed solutions. My strategy has been to seed a best-idea-wins culture. There's not a lot of hierarchy, and dictatorial behaviors are really frowned upon.
Also, all the technology trends aside, effective change management for the users is core to our methodology. An effective product that's delightful enough for users to make them want to change and a change management process to make that change without pain are the two critical success factors to getting any ROI [return on investment] out of these new technologies.
PwC: Given what you have told us, what is the right operating model for IT in the future?
BM: I think the right model of the future will be inspired by product-focused commercial teams. Much of the internal IT operating model today is reactive. Ask any business user, what should we do today? The answer usually is, well just fix my report, or just fix this, or just fix that. And you just die of 1,000 paper cuts.
At the end of the day, the reactive operating model is the biggest thing that internal technology teams suffer from versus product-focused commercial enterprises. The product-focused commercial teams have much more incentive to focus on the long term and to treat their solutions as a living, breathing thing.
In contrast, internal IT teams view their solutions as projects—not products. That leads to bad short-term-focused decisions and a lack of long-term investment. My goal here really has been to orientate us as a product-focused organization to make the long-term investments. Sometimes that's painful on the prioritization side. But when you do it, the benefits really start to add up once you get the momentum going.

United States of America 1969
Johnston Satchel
signed and dated underneath, fibre-tipped pen, "LEVINE / 1975"
25.4 (h) x 51.9 (w) x 34.2 (d) cm
Purchased 1975
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
The work of Marilyn Levine is characterised by inordinate attention to detail which creates an uncanny illusion of reality. At first glance, Johnston satchel appears much like any other lovingly dilapidated leather bag. Only upon closer inspection is the object's true material revealed. The stained and partially glazed ceramic is modelled by hand, without assistance of casting techniques. The artist has captured in stoneware the scuffs and abrasions caused to an object by recurrent and customary use. Levine sculpts with a clay and nylon composite to achieve her trademark verisimilitude, staining her finished objects with commercial glazes that allow expanded colour possibilities.
In 1969 Levine moved to the West Coast of the USA, embracing its vibrant art scene. Here she was introduced to California Funk, an emerging ceramics movement inspired by Pop art, which held at its core the exaggerated representation of daily life. Levine began to explore the deceptively realistic visual language with which she would work for the next 30 years: 'It was in the process of trying out being a funk artist, trying to be funky, that I found out what you could do with a pair of shoes or what you could do with a jacket…'[1] Themes of absence and loss implicitly inform the artist's aesthetic, with her work representing human existence and the passage of time. Levine's meticulous trompe l'oeil style encourages viewers to examine Johnston satchel for its form, texture and presence in reality, rather than any perceived functionality.

Phil Kessel's Frustrated: You Would Be Too
February 07 2011 08:04AM
Phil Kessel's comments that "It might not be working out here" via the National Post have hockey fans wondering exactly what he means. Is Kessel unhappy in Toronto? Is Kessel frustrated by his recent slump?
That people are taking Kessel's frustration as a sign he's unhappy in Toronto and some sort of problem child seems a bit off base to me. First and foremost it's important to remember that Phil Kessel is an awkward guy who's a terrible public speaker. He says dumb things constantly without appreciating the subtlety of his words. As far as the quote goes all that's important is how he actually feels and how the team operates behind closed doors which we'll never know and shouldn't bother speculating on.
As for why he's frustrated I think it's pretty obvious; the Leafs have their 2nd through 4th best players on the 2nd line (Grabovski, MacArthur, Kulemin) while the third line has Kris Versteeg and Colby Armstrong. Phil Kessel plays primarily with Joey Crabb and Tyler Bozak, who have combined for 63 career points in 138 games.
Phil Kessel is a goal scorer but he's a 23 year old kid struggling with the weight of the world on his shoulders in Toronto. In a lot of ways it's not fair to Kessel that his play is compared to a trade his General Manager made and it's unfair that early in the Leafs' rebuild Kessel's being asked to carry the load alone and answer publicly for the Leafs' failings when things get rough.
Should Kessel have made this public? Obviously not, but Ron Wilson isn't helping things by throwing Kessel under the bus here. As fans we're frustrated by the Leafs' poor play; I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a group of professional athletes who spent their whole lives growing up being awesome at hockey and winning lots of games are also frustrated by losing.
We've all said stupid things when we've been frustrated. Lord knows the over 50% divorce rate in North America speaks to that. This will blow over. If I had to guess it'd be that Kessel doesn't want out of Toronto; he wants some real linemates and to play for a winning team. You know, the same thing all of us want for him.

United Mine Workers of America International President Cecil E.Roberts issued the following statement. "The report issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration on the disaster at Crandall Canyon identified the blatant disregard for miners' safety by the mine operator, Genwal Resources, a subsidiary of Murray Energy. The company's production-at-all-costs mentality clearly was the most significant factor contributing to this tragedy.
"It is now abundantly clear that the mine operator had reason to know it was likely that a mine 'bump' (coal outburst) would occur in the area where it did occur on Aug. 6, 2007. Ample warnings were given in the company's own internal documents, based on experience in another section of the mine where a collapse had previously occurred, as well as on conditions miners were experiencing just a few days prior to Aug. 6.
"Yet that did not stop senior company management from pressing ahead, even after the company had seriously-and illegally-weakened the structural integrity of the mine by mining coal from the barrier pillars and the mine floor. We think these were criminal acts. In our opinion, the fine levied by MSHA for these actions is not penalty enough.
"In separate investigations of this tragedy earlier this year, both Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) called for a criminal investigation into the Crandall Canyon disaster. We wholeheartedly agree.
"But there is more to this tragedy than the greed of a coal operator causing workers to be put in harm's way. The fact is that companies like Murray Energy are supposed to be kept in check by MSHA. That did not happen at Crandall Canyon. Indeed, as Sen. Kennedy's report earlier this year demonstrated, there already was evidence to suggest that MSHA personnel helped expedite the approvals of plans submitted by Murray Energy that led up to this disaster.
"We must ask: Where were the MSHA inspectors? Why was MSHA not being proactive in protecting miners' health and safety? Why did MSHA act as little more than a rubber stamp for a clearly flawed mining plan?
"To its credit, the Department of Labor's separate "independent" review of MSHA's actions asks some of these same questions. The DOL report finds MSHA wanting, especially with respect to the agency's review of the mining plan and its actions in the rescue attempt, including the subsequent deaths of three brave rescuers," said Roberts.

Jeg anbefaler denne leiligheten veldig godt plassert i Manhattan. Det er romslige, vi var 7 personer. Beskrivelsen er i overensstemmelse med virkeligheten. Ingen grunn til bekymring for å hente nøkler, wifi fungerer ... Liten minst ett bad for fire soverom dette er for lite, og to av rommene har utsikt over den lille gårdsplassen ikke veldig rent. Ellers hyggelig opphold ....
Je conseille cet appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan. Il est spacieux, nous étions 7 personnes. La description est conforme à la réalité. Aucun soucis pour récupérer les clefs, le wifi fonctionne ... Les petits moins, 1 salle de bain pour 4 chambres c'est trop peu et 2 des chambres ont une vue sur la minuscule cour intérieur pas très propre. Sinon agréable séjour ....
Hei. Vi var 2 familier som reiste sammen til New York og hadde en fantastisk ferie. New York var så spennende og fantastisk som vi hadde håpet på. Vi bodde veldig sentralt og leiligheten var helt grei. Vi lagde en del mat selv i leiligheten og den kunne ha vært noe bedre utrustet. Vannet i dusjen gikk fra iskaldt til veldig varmt. Gikk greit og hente nøkkelen som lå 12 gater unna der vi bodde. Ellers hadde vi ingen kontakt med verten bortsett fra noen meldinger før avreise. Vi savnet nok litt mer informasjon fra verten ang. leiligheten , men totalt var oppholdet topp.
vi nyte flat, veldig rent, ingen støy på soverom siden, bråkete på forsiden hvis noen har til å sove i sofaen.
den boksåpner må være endring, og brød grill fungerer hvis du holder en finger på knappen, resten var fint,
vi hadde nøklene inne i leiligheten venter på oss i kveld, og en nabo åpnet døra for oss. East Village er et kult sted å bo, svært lukket til t-bane, flott! eric fra Frankrike
forklaringene for å få nøklene var gode, ble døra mangler, men nøklene ble gaved til oss i kveld.
we enjoy your flat, very clean, no noise on the bedrooms side, noisy on the front side if some one has to sleep in the sofa.
the can opener needs to be change, and the bread grill works if you keep a finger on the button, the rest was fine,
we had the keys inside the flat waiting for us in the evening and a neighbour opened the front door for us. the east village is a cool place to stay, very closed to the subway, Great ! eric from France
the explanations to get the keys were good, the front door was missing, but the keys were gaved to us in the evening.
Fin leilighet i East Village med interessant nabolag. Vi enjoeyd tiden. Ideell for fire personer.
Nice appartment in East village with interesting neighborhood. We enjoeyd the time. Ideal for four persons.
The rented apartment, advertized on the platform wimdu.de as "Luxus-LOFT 3 Schlafzimmer, 2 Bäder – Ausstattung" ("Luxury LOFT 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths – Equiped") had several serious defects and deviations from the published specifications. The use of the apartment as described in the ad was not possible, leading to additional unplanned costs and expenses. As per the terms and conditions, all problems were promptly reported and well documented by photographs.
The shortcomings in detail:
• Severe uncleanliness (including bed sheets, towels, bathroom, kitchen, refrigerator, floors) and other serious hygiene issues throughout the entire apartment
• No Wi-Fi or Internet access, a direct deviation from the terms of reference in your ad
• Toilet was broken/defective – the tank ran constantly
• Air conditioning unit did not work (it was masked)
• Soiled linens and bedding
• One of the bedrooms had no bedding whatsoever (due to the low temperatures it was not possible to stay overnight)
• Soiled towels
• Dirty, foul-smelling refrigerator – completely non-usable
• Non-usable cabinets (misconstruction)
• Dirty floors throughout the apartment and in particular the bathrooms
• Dirty windows
• The trash was never emptied
• There were defective doorknobs which would fall out of the door
• There was no laundry detergent
• The clocks were defective
• TVs did not work – all four of them
No promised on-site support was received from you as the responsible US agency. No support was received at any time, no action was taken to address any of the shortcomings. A selection of the submitted photographs can be found in the appendix to my e-mail.
Never again!
Windu is the most expensive website to rent an apartment on the face of the earth. Based on an email sent by CityKit (Management Company of the property) the actual cost of the apartment was $2001.00 for 7 days but we paid to Windu 2,421.21. This means 420 (20%) commission. Making this type of commission could be typical in the industry but letting the client to find out about it is very unprofessional. Hiding key information like the location of the apartment is no very professional either (third floor without elevator) Later we realized the apartment was in poor shape and not properly maintained, CityKit totally ignored our request for simple things missing like extra cover and linen for the sofa bed or to send a technician to fix a huge leak on the bathroom sink. Definitely I won't recommend Wimdu to a friend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great location, but it is not really a 1BR apartment, It's a very small place, well locatedand clean. But when you add in all the costs (e.g. Wimdu booking fee) and hassle (driving back and forth to guest services for the key, TV not working) you wonder if it would have been more convenient to stay in a hotel.
Had a great stay in this apt. Everything went smooth, picking up the keys and finding the apt. It was clean and has everything you possibly need. Don't forget to take earplugs :) It's on the second floor, so you're right in the middle of all the sounds from the city. Been here with 4 adults and it's big enough. Location was great, subway just 3 blocks down, grocerystore around the corner... Would stay here again
I would like to have 2 sets of towels for 1 week !

Veterans are angry that U.S. has not provided funds to maintain military cemetery in Philippines.
When he walks through the dilapidated Clark Veterans Cemetery in the Philippines, Dennis Wright says he feels one overriding emotion: anger.
Before World War II, more than 5,000 soldiers, sailors, Marines and Army civilians were buried at several cemeteries in the Philippines. Later, those remains were sent to Clark in order to make room for a cemetery for World War II fallen. In the ensuing years, military dependents were buried at Clark.
Then in 1991, a massive volcano eruption covered the roughly 8,600 tombstones there in more than a foot of ash, just as the U.S. was leaving the Philippines and Clark Air Base.
More than 20 years later, the gravestones lie halfway buried in ash and weeds. The local Veterans of Foreign Wars post has taken responsibility for maintaining the cemetery, but the donations it receives allow members only to keep the weeds at bay, said Wright, whose development company has offices in the Philippines and has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for improvements.
To Wright, the troops, veterans and military family members buried at Clark Veterans Cemetery have been abandoned by the U.S. government.
"We take all these guys who died from 1900 to World War II — who were there, they were happy, they were resting in peace — we get them up, we march them to Clark, we put them in a boring field … and then we forget these guys?" Wright said. "Now, I'm telling you, when you sit there and look at that, it can only do one thing to you: Make you mad and make you angry that our government has got 8,600 U.S. servicemen and their dependents who are buried at Clark who were abandoned and then forgotten."
The callousness toward those interred at Clark Veterans Cemetery stands in stark contrast to the World War II fallen who occupy their former resting places, said Wright, a retired Navy captain.
"Is (a) World War II dead soldier more important than World War I dead?" he said. "Is he more important than Vietnam War dead? Is he more important than an Iraqi War dead?"
It would take about $2.5 million to get rid of all the ash and reset the tombstones. The local VFW takes in $25,000 to $30,000 in donations each year, so it can only maintain the cemetery as is, Wright said. Moreover, most of the VFW members are in their 60s, so they have problems maintaining the cemetery.
"It shouldn't be done by a bunch of aging veterans who aren't getting any younger," he said.
That's why Wright is chairman of the Clark Veterans Cemetery Restoration Association, a non-profit organization advocating for the American Battle Monuments Commission to take over responsibility for the cemetery.
Proposed legislation in the Senate would do just that and allocate $5 million to renovate the cemetery, but Wright does not expect the measure to pass during the current legislative session.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who introduced a bill this year to have the monuments commission assume responsibility for the cemetery, said the U.S. government has a "moral responsibility" to take care of veterans cemeteries.
"There's no reason that the brave service members buried at Clark should be deprived of the honor they have earned and that veterans at other cemeteries are afforded," she testified before the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee in June. "It's time for the U.S. government to fulfill its responsibility to care for this sacred ground."
The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, who said the U.S. government needs to respect veterans after they have been laid to rest.
"This cemetery has been unjustly left behind and it is a disservice to veterans who have passed and those living all over the world," Begich said in a statement to Air Force Times.
One of the most impassioned advocates for having the monuments commission take the cemetery under its purview has been Nathan Beeler, an 11-year-old from Avon, Ind., who has traveled to Washington to lobby Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and other top lawmakers.
"I got involved with this in third grade because we were randomly browsing through the Internet and we went over a little article talking about a veterans cemetery buried in disgrace, and so I felt angered because our veterans died for our freedom and when they're buried in disgrace, it doesn't make sense, so that's why I started to do something," he said.
When Nathan talks to members of Congress about the proposed legislation for Clark Veterans Cemetery, he makes sure to include that the bill is "budget neutral." As the story about the cemetery gets out, the bill has a better chance of passing.
"One person will be touched by it and then they'll talk to more and more people, and I know many people were touched by it, so I feel very optimistic," Nathan said.

I've just seen a vision of the future.
Not a vision of the mortgage future, although I came here (Las Vegas) on a mortgage-related errand, to pick up a journalism award National Mortgage News received for its coverage of American Indian housing.
I'm talking about the future of the media business, as shown by the work of the student journalists who were all over the coverage of the UNITY 12 conference in Vegas.
UNITY 12 is a once-every-four-years convocation of minority journalists, currently made up of the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the Native American Journalists Association (I am an associate, or non-Native, member of NAJA), and the National Lesbian/Gay Journalists Association. More than 2,100 minority journalists touched down in Vegas and showed the energy that can be produced when you combine intelligence, drive, education, and passion into the coverage of the news.
The UNITY groups are trade associations for journalists of all ages, but it is the student journalists who are given the opportunity to shine the brightest. And shine they did. UNITY 12 isn't just a giant trade fair for them, where they can hope to be recruited by CNN, Accuweather, Gannett or McClatchy (though there was quite an impressive trade show here for just that purpose). No, they have to sing for their supper.
The UNITY News operation, (www.unitynews.org) produced by student journalists and a mentoring team, put out a daily convention print newspaper, a daily video feed, audio stories for radio output, and of course were all over the social media.
It would be very easy to cover this conference in soft tones. There's a lot of great stuff happening here. The big news orgs are at their best, recruiting minority journalists. The minority journalists are at their best, flexing their muscles with the strength in numbers they exhibit both physically and figuratively.
UNITY News didn't do that. Or at least, that's not all they covered. The first thing that happened was that one of them promptly got thrown out of a NAHJ meeting for tweeting news from the room (they were also filming).
Now, the irony of a trade group of journalists clamping down on coverage of their meeting wasn't lost on anybody, and it cast a wide shadow over the meeting. UNITY News immediately recognized that and did a full video piece showing them getting the boot but also trying to get NAHJ's side of the story as their meeting broke up. And they covered the event in the convention daily, with a followup story in print the next day as well. They did great.
This probably wasn't NAHJ's finest hour but there are two sides to every story. As someone who has covered many meetings over the years I am fine with an organization putting its internal sessions off the record or saying journalists are not allowed to attend. I believe NAHJ (and any other private firm or association) is perfectly justified in holding organizational meetings in private. It just has to be clear in advance. Ambiguity creates the kind of media buzz generated here.
A second hot story got full attention from the students. That was the absence of the National Association of Black Journalists from the convention. NABJ withdrew from UNITY last year, citing financial disputes, and the NLGJA subsequently joined. The student coverage went straight to the 600 pound elephant in the room: was homophobia involved? It's not immediately apparent to me that homophobia was involved, or at least was not the precipitating factor for the split, but it was certainly worth raising the question.
Also, there was a smattering of black journalists at the meeting, despite the official split. I'm told the president of NABJ attended, and if so, props to him and the other black journalists that were there (some of them also may have been members of the one of the other groups. At least one woman here belongs to all four groups—something else I learned from UNITY News). Maybe this divorce isn't quite final. Certainly the split has hurt UNITY as NABJ was the largest group in the coalition.
UNITY News didn't stick to the convention floor but ventured outside into a hot Vegas summer to see what was going on in the host city. A video/print piece on homelessness profiled a woman who lived for years in a Vegas storm drain. Another took on prostitution in Sin City. A radio report interviewed an Elvis impersonator and noticed the raggedy edges of his costume, a sign that the recession has hit even the Elvis impersonators. Another, with the Colorado theater shooting fresh in mind, visited a local gun dealer. (I myself was appalled to see an ad touting Uzis for sale on a wall at McCarran Airport.)
Curiosity is a great trait for a journalist. Somebody noticed that the convention next door to UNITY was the Deaf Nation convention, so over they went for a report. The icing on the cake was interviewing a barista from the Starbucks the deaf people were getting their coffee from, and his efforts to learn a little elementary sign language. A terrific story.
President Obama and Mitt Romney were both invited to UNITY 12 to kick off the conference, and their no-shows prompted another timely student piece. (The Democrats did send a surrogate; I do not think the Republicans did.)

The Lodestone Natural Resources hedge fund is liquidating after the arrests of two of its top executives in February in connection with an insider trading probe, although no charges have been filed, according to anonymous sources.
Financial regulators in the U.K. arrested Chief Investment Officer Tim Whyte and one of its founders, Carl Linderum, in late February. While neither has been charged with a crime, investors are unsurprisingly nervous about leaving their money in the fund. Without other funds, whose assets could support the firm through the crisis, Lodestone is closing its doors, reports Bloomberg, whose sourced asked not to be named.
Lodestone's liquidation comes after Diamondback Capital Management suffered a similar fate, losing nearly three-quarters of its assets, following an insider trading investigation in the U.S.

6th Saturday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 9:18-26
At that time, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment; for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well." Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. And the report of this went through all that district.
