From the 100th GREY CUP to the NHL lockout, and all the golden storylines from London 2012, it's been another year of captivating headlines in sports. TSN today announced its annual list of the Top 10 sports stories of the year as chosen by a panel of commentators, reporters and producers from Canada's Sports Leader. TSN will count down the Top 10 stories of 2012 during SPORTSCENTRE: YEAR IN REVIEW on Monday, Dec. 24 at 8 p.m. ET.

Along with counting down the Top 10 stories of 2012, the year-end show also unveils the year's Top 10 highlights, lowlights, and sound bites, as well as a special edition of the Ultimate SC.
Dutchyshen and Hedger will tee up the Top 10 stories of the year in a one-hour live chat with fans tomorrow at 12 noon ET on TSN.ca. TSN.ca complements SPORTSCENTRE: YEAR IN REVIEW with feature articles written by TSN personalities who covered the Top 10 stories.

C Gary Sanchez is ranked 68th, OF Tyler Austin is ranked 85th and OF Mason Williams is ranked 87th. None of the players have excelled above the Double-A level, and are so far from the major league level, that the team spent nearly $300 million on free agents.

Good news for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) - Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb's apixaban stroke drug gets Singapore's Health Sciences Authority approval
Singapore: Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore has approved new treatment, apixaban (Eliquis), marketed by pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), to reduce the risk of a first or recurrent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
Apixaban is an oral anticoagulant that has demonstrated superior risk reduction versus warfarin in the three important outcomes of stroke and systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause death.
Atrial fibrillation (AF), which is an abnormal heart rhythm, poses a large threat to Singapore's ageing population as it increases the risk of stroke by almost five times when compared with a normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm). Local statistics show that AF afflicts as many as one-in-20 people over the age of 65, while the lifetime risk of developing AF is estimated to be approximately 25 percent for individuals 40 years of age or older.
AF related strokes tend to be more severe than other strokes with an associated 30-day mortality of 24 percent and a 50 percent likelihood of death within one year.
"AF-related strokes can leave their victims disabled and dependent," explained Dr Deidre Anne De Silva, president, Singapore National Stroke Association and a consultant with the Department of Neurology at the National Neuroscience Institute (SGH campus). "Survivors of AF-related strokes may have to live with long-term physical, cognitive, psychological and social consequences which impact not just the patients, but also their families and caregivers," she said. AF is associated with at least 15 percent of all strokes.

|In response to Re: Leaking Steam Radiator Pipes
The pipes should not be leaking, but since we cannot see the system, we cannot tell you how to fix the problem. You need someone versed in steam heating to fix the leaks and also check to see if the system is operating properly.
: My steam radiator pipes are leaking...not at the radiators themselves but before that, where the pipes have a joint to turn up and a steam valve. The leaks are so bad that I've had to use buckets to catch the water in my basement. I've talked to 2 heating companies..they've both said that there's probably just too much water in the system and there's nothing that can be done. I asked during the annual maintenance and cleaning, 2 months ago. I make sure the level in the tube is at or under the level indicator, and have been leaving it lower. I have to check the level every 2 or so days or auto shutoff kicks in because of water loss. I've also tried to tighten the joints, but they seem tight. The leaks stop when the system is not generating heat. I don't know much about the system--is there a more intelligent way to explain this to someone so they take me seriously? Is this something that happens with time and I have to let it go or replace the system?

It's not surprising that obesity is linked to sedentary activities and there is a known link between sitting and diabetes, heart disease and more chronic conditions. Many experts agree that a sedentary lifestyle is a common cause of increasing waistlines and can be considered a catalyst for diabetes, high blood pressure and joint damage.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau reports, Americans participate about 10 hours per day in sedentary activities consisting of computer work, watching television and driving. These types of activities are seen as a great health threat and correlates to a higher risk of all-cause mortality – as reported in a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Seventy-five percent of all visits to an MD end with a prescription for medication, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. With those kinds of numbers, the real wonder drug could be exercise. A trend, reported by the Centers for Disease - National Center for Health Statistics, will be more prescribed exercise and healthy lifestyle rewards to be given by health insurance providers.
These rewards have partially led to an increase in health club membership among Baby Boomers. Many will throw themselves into a workout with the same intensity they give to their retirement activities and ignore the importance of gradually getting accustomed to a fitness regimen. This kind of thinking can lead to injury and it's often easier to succumb to an injury with a de-conditioned body rather than a fit body.
Instead of going it alone and risking injury, working out with a doctor prescribed routine and medically licensed therapist may be the safest choice. Rehab experts at Orchard Park Rehabilitation Center in Centennial, Colorado, report that when out-of-shape people try to exercise, they are more prone to injury because their lack of strength often means they have decreased joint stability. Those people often lack endurance, may tire quickly and may readily complain of discomfort.
Those patients that need a gradual and improved return to fitness may be better served with exercise and specialized equipment that is formulized specifically for de-conditioned joints, atrophied bones and muscles. With those types of patients, rehab experts do prescribe gravity altered exercise. Essentially, it means that body weight is partially suspended and reduced during exercise.
Being able to un-weigh the body during exercise is still a novelty in physical therapy gyms but will be a driving trend by those who are unable to comfortably bear weight due to obesity, joint pain or injury. The unique environment and resistance found in the air chamber of a gravity altered treadmill will un-weigh the body up to 80% and greatly improve comfort with less gravitational force.
Rehab equipment and programs have changed significantly just in the last few years and specifically to address the needs and characteristics of injured and aging bodies and/or obesity. Swiveling seats, handles and bars make it easier to access exercise equipment.
Instead of picking up a dumb-bell and cranking out 3 sets of 10, rehab experts employ a kinder- gentler form of therapy. Rehab equipment may use no resistance, three dimensional resistances or pneumatic air resistance in order to progress strength and endurance and to address patient need.
Perhaps the biggest reason to obtain a doctor's script to exercise is the growing numbers of people who have chronic conditions. Some conditions, heart or lung disease, mandate an educated practitioner and one who knows the navigation and obstacles presented by chronic conditions. Rehab experts also have a direct communication pathway with the referring physician. State law requires regular communication with prescribing physician regarding exercise tolerance and health progression of a patient.
According to local rehab experts at Orchard Park Rehabilitation Center, physical inactivity might best be treated as a medical condition itself rather than simply a cause or byproduct of other medical conditions.

Patent law is territorial. It is also designed to deal with the circumstance of unified infringement by a single actor. But modern commerce is not limited by national boundaries or by corporate forms. Patents written to cover modern technologies, particularly network computing technologies, are attempting to bring the distributed acts of different users around the globe into the ambit of a territorial legal system that looks for a single infringer. Not surprisingly, the effort to do so has created significant problems for patent cases.
Two of those problems are the subject of our article. They involve what we call divided or distributed patent claims - claims that are infringed only by aggregating the conduct of more than one actor, or aggregating conduct that occurs in more than one country. Patent law doesn't deal well with either class of divided patent claim. Prosecutors and litigators need to be aware of these problems in order to most effectively represent their clients.

Countdown to Father's Day 2008 (T-11): Top TV DadsWednesday, June 4th, 2008
As we count down to Father's Day (T-11 days) – here's our look at some of TV's favorite fathers: From the 1950s cardigan-wearing, "Father Knows Best" types to the 21st century guys juggling dysfunctional families and questionable careers.
We've been continuing our look at TV dads by going back to those black and white happy days of the 1950's & 60's.
TV's Top Dads (in chronological order)
Ben Cartwright (1960's)
Ben Cartwright, played by Lorne Greene, was the thrice-widowed patriarch in the long-running Western series, Bonanza (1959-1971). A pillar of the community, Ben was also a solid family man, raising his three dissimilar sons on the family's 1000-acre ranch, the Ponderosa. At the core of the show was Ben's commitment to helping his sons to face life with strength and integrity.
Check back each day for another TV dad (or you can cheat and check out all our TV dads here).

Propio vino: A wine making experience
Looking for something new to do this weekend?
Now is the perfect time to cross wine making off your bucket list.
Proprio Vino Winery in Pueblo West will give you a little taste of the wine making business and you won't have to hop on a plane to Italy to enjoy the experience.
Proprio Vino Winery is a family owned business owned and ran by Dustin and Jessica Dague out of their garage.
While both Jessica and Dustin have full-time jobs other than the winery,
Jessica is a dental hygienist while Dustin just opened his own concrete business called Unique Concrete, they hope to someday make the Winery their full-time job, along with Unique Concrete.
"My family has been making wine in the mountains of Colorado for nearly half a century and several centuries in the valleys of the Calabria region of Italy," Jessica Dague.
"Our friends and family were always wanting our wine so we ended up giving a lot of it away, so one day we decided we would open up our house to people who wanted to come in and make wine with us.
"This is our second year with Proprio Vino Winery and each year we have more fun doing it."
The process of making the perfect bottle of wine begins with the perfect selection of grapes.
"We get our grapes from California and we crush the grapes in September.
"When we crush, we will have wine to sample from last year's wine collection and Jessica will cook a big Italian meal," Dustin Dauge said.
Dustin said that when the crushing is over, it will still take another several months in order to get your finished product.
"We have most of our equipment in Salida so we will haul the crushed grapes up there and continue the process, which include pressing the grapes and then watching them turn into custom made wine, then in April we will start the bottling process."
Although most people want to buy wine from Proprio Vino Winery, they are unable to sell their wine.
"We cannot sell our wine because we do not have a liquor license but each individual can make up to 100 gallons of wine without having a license.
"Each individual that wants to make their own wine needs to be present for the process.
"We rent out the equipment to make the wine and make them buy their own crate of grapes.
"We are hoping to someday soon get our liquor license but until then we enjoy what we are doing.
"We are teaching a class on wine making and each new experience is always fun."
Proprio Vino provides all the de-stemming and crushing machinery, fermentation tubs, kegs, snacks and clean-up.
In addition, they also make customized labels for your finished product.
They will store your wine all season and keep a watchful eye to make sure that yours is the finest in your wine rack and then when the time finally arrives for you to bottle your custom wine, Proprio Vino will help you bottle and cork your very own vintage!
"We have six different types of red wine and two different types of white.
"We are always experimenting and trying new stuff all the time and our customers can also customize their wine any way they want and we do personalized labels too, which is always fun," Jessica said.
Wine, whether you look at it as science or as an art, everyone enjoys a different aspect of it.
"It is a family tradition and are kids are always helping us squeeze the grapes. Although it involves alcohol, we still urge customers to bring their children along if they'd like. It is a great character building skill and it teaches kids the ethic of hard work and we hope that in the future our kids will take over Proprio Vino Winery."

"These are great shoes hands down. I ordered a size 6.5, but had to exchange for a size smaller. Overall great shoe. Do not expect white though. They are more and off white, which I preferred anyway. Very classic but modern too."

Always love Rocket Dog flats!
"Great flats, demure yet different! Fit is tts, fairly comfy but pinches a little in the back, probably just needs to be broken in more. Overall, great shoe :)"

Too cute, but too short...
"I love flats, & I love houndstooth, so I thought these would be the perfect shoe! They have less cushion than most all other flats I own, but that in itself would not be a reason I would return them. The real problem is that I found them to be too short & a touch narrow. I would size up, but I already purchased the largest size. If you don't have as big of feet as me, size up."

Category name i.e.AUTOMATION
That's not to say that there aren't manufacturers that offer home-automation and home theater control on the cheap. But, whereas the AMX and Crestron systems typically deliver rock-solid performance, a system built around inexpensive devices isn't always 100 percent on target. I've spent more than my fair share of time waving at an X10 motion sensor trying to make it acknowledge my existence, and almost as much time explaining to my wife why it isn't working the way I said it would.
Promises, Promises So, along comes Control4, promising to, in my words, do a lot of what AMX and Crestron can do for a fraction of the cost (but it's still in a higher price range than the X10). Furthermore, Control4 explains that their systems are easy to retrofit into an existing home. Finally, they say there's no need for extensive, expensive, customized programming. Oh, it's sweet music to my ears: a fairly affordable full-blown home theater control system that's expandable and extendable to wirelessly control my devices all over the house.
A Control4 system starts with a central controller that communicates with and controls other devices using a combination of Ethernet, RF, IR, RS-232, and—for most of the home-automation devices—ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) mesh networking technology. (See sidebar for more on ZigBee.) Both of the controllers currently available, the basic Home Theater Controller and the more advanced Media Controller, include a two-way RF system remote control that, if you didn't know better, you'd assume was just another universal remote control.
For the price of a mid-level Philips Pronto, Control4's $1400 Home Theater Controller offers extensive control of your home theater system. Control4's included two-way RF system remote control uses video sense inputs, an RS-232 connection, multiple IR outputs, and more. But, unlike a typical universal/programmable/macros-out-the-wazoo remote control, the Home Theater Controller incorporates an Ethernet connection and wireless ZigBee connectivity, providing multizone audio and wholehouse automation upgradeability.
At a bit more than twice the price of the Home Theater Controller, Control4's Media Controller ($3500) starts with all the features of the basic unit and then piles on oodles more. For starters, it offers many more control capabilities, thanks to additional RS-232, relay, and contact connections, plus built-in Wi-Fi (802.11g) connectivity. Hidden inside the black box (with its large front-panel LCD), however, is a full-blown, three-zone digital music server with disc recognition of music on the internal 80-gigabyte hard drive (via an online database). It also provides automatic title recognition of CDs and DVD movies loaded in RS-232-equipped disc changers.
Think about that for a moment: For less than the price of most single-purpose digital music servers on the market, Control4's media controller is a three-zone-capable music server plus a home theater control system and the beginnings of a wholehouse control system. While $3500 certainly isn't pocket change, it is one heck of a value for the money.
Taking Control of the Controller Any control system—even one as simple as a basic universal remote control—requires at least some amount of programming. Typically, the more elaborate the control capabilities, the more extensive the programming, which ultimately equals more time (self-installed) and/or more money (professionally installed). Control4's goal is to hit the exquisite but elusive sweet spot that balances cost and capabilities.
The PC software required for the initial setup isn't available to the end user. Although it's intuitive, the program requires an attention to detail that many consumers may not anticipate—especially those who, like me, don't read manuals until they've exhausted all other trial-and-error methods. The first time through, you will have to identify how your components are connected and figure out which sequences you should include for various programmed features. The consumer-oriented ComposerME software allows for tweaks and small changes to the way the system operates (including different menu layout skins), but major amendments require the assistance of an installer. You can do most of the modifications online, though, so an in-person service call might not be necessary.
Control4's recently announced 4sight service, when used in conjunction with a security system, allows homeowners to remotely monitor their home using a PC—allowing you to keep tabs on all Control4 devices, lights, temperature controls, and so on. They can also install other optional devices such as a water sensor. The system can even send you e-mail notification of changes in the house (like open doors and windows).
Personalisation rather than customization minimizes programming time and costs. Control4's onscreen menus don't provide AMX/Crestron-style customizability. Instead, they use a predefined common layout with easy-to-identify icon buttons. The user-interface graphics are the same whether you view them on your television, the 10.5-inch Wireless Touch Screen, or one of the 4-inch Ethernet Mini Touch Screens. While it's definitely not as much an ego stroke as a menu screen designed specifically for you, it's absolutely fine for the 90 percent of the population who can't afford one of the high-end control systems.
Control4's Ernie Coulter programmed my test system, which consists of a Media Controller, a 10.5-inch Wireless Touch Screen, a couple of ZigBee-enabled dimming outlets for lights, and a 4-inch Ethernet Mini Touch Screen for second-zone access and music. After I had the chance to put it through its paces—including the brutal wife-and-family test—I was overwhelmed by the exhilarating yet strangely calming feeling that this is the way things ought to be.
Quite frankly, since I first heard about Control4 more than a year ago, I was a little skeptical that they could produce the low-cost/high-capability system they envisioned. Now that I've used the system, I'm a believer, a true devotee, and someone who desperately wants one of these systems for his own.
Don't Touch That Panel. . . But you must know something. The majority of the time, I used Control4's 10.5-inch Wireless Touch Screen to operate everything. Be warned: Do not let a salesperson put one of these touchpanels in your hands, or you might as well write the $4000 cheque for it right then and there. It's that addictive. Not only does it give you the full menu screens, it puts disc cover art, playlist programmability, and all kinds of automation control right in the palms of your hands—and once it's in those hands, you won't want to give it back. I nearly had to pry the panel out of my wife's hands in order to box it up and ship it back.
I'm not egotistical enough—nor rich enough—to demand special customization (much as I would love to have it), but I can't tolerate a control system that's not extremely reliable. On this count, I have nothing but praise for Control4's system. Discs played and stopped when they were supposed to, lights dimmed and brightened, and audio went where and when I told it to go. I can't ask for much better than that.
Considering that this is Control4's first generation of product, it's surprising that they got so many things right. Could it be improved? Sure. I'd like to see video distribution. I want a less expensive wireless touchpanel. I'd like the system to automatically discover music files transferred to the internal hard drive from a networked PC. Let's have more ZigBee-enabled devices. And, by all means, give me one of these systems to keep—with the wireless panel, if you don't mind.
I don't know how the system will work if you have the maximum 65,000 ZigBee devices connected. But, for the average homeowner, this system is—like the microwave oven, the cell phone, and the Internet—something you'll wonder how you ever lived without. Unfortunately, at my house, now that we've sent the system back, we're not only questioning how we lived without it, we're sadly pondering how we're going to be able to continue to live without it.

The Harrisburg High School boys' soccer team got a pair of second half goals Wednesday night to knock off Breese Central in the first round of the IHSA Class 2A Regional.
Carver Gregg and Anfernee Houston both found the back of the net in Harrisburg's victory.
The two goals however weren't the turning point in the game for Harrisburg according to head coach Mike Stewart.
"You could tell this was a tournament game because both teams played liked they wanted to win. This was a game that really boiled down to who broke the ice first. When some confusion in the net on our side occurred and Dylan Butler made a
tremendous save, I think that is what changed the momentum of the game for us. "Within the next two minutes the same thing happened at the other end and Carver Gregg was able to complete the deal and put us on the board first. Anfernee's goal in the 72nd minute sealed it for us"
Stewart said he was pleased with how his team came out of the gate.
"We came out on the attack. We need to play like all the time. I think that took
Breese Central by surprise Getting 11 shots off and several more that went wide also played a factor in the win today. We have not been quick to shoot the ball all
season. We have been telling them all season to shoot more, take the outside shot, put the ball on frame and the goals will come. I think this win just proved that."
Ryan Cowsert got the win in goal, making six saves in the shutout.
Houston finished with four shots on goal, while Cody Morris had three. Gregg and Luke Horton each had two, while Nat Harris and Butler each had one.
Harrisburg is now 9-10-2 on the season.

Great Styler!I have been a Sedu user since 2007. I started out with the regular 1" Sedu. I had to have that one replaced under warranty twice in under 2 years. I have had the most recent replacement since then....Just in case anybody is concerned about the quality of Sedu.
I switched to the regular Sedu Revolution in early 2012. My original still works and I just sold the backup SR I purchased in 2012 on eBay and replaced it with a new regular Sedu Revolution.
I purchased this one just a few weeks ago. In some ways it is superior to the regular Sedu, and in others, I feel like it is inferior.
What makes this iron superior to the regular Sedu Revolution?
Auto shut-off! - WHYYYYYY wasn't this on the regular Revolution? I have left mine going a few times over the years....
Smaller housing - This makes it far easier to curl on shorter hair. It also makes it easier to straighten shorter hair.
What makes this iron inferior to the regular Sedu Revolution?
I don't know why, but I am pretty sure that my hair straightened easier with the older model of Revolution. I wonder if the plates on the Diamond edition are a bit smaller? The original Revolution was just overall grippier and straightened better. I feel like this Diamond edition is a hybrid between the original Sedu and the Sedu revolution.
The original Revolution heat adjustments offered more in the way of flexibility and heat settings. The Diamond Edition jumps from 280 to 340 degrees. What if I wanted 300? 340 makes my hair smoke, but sometimes I would like a bit more heat than 280 degrees.
Well. That about sums up my thoughts on this. I still use this iron daily as my hair is just past chin length and the back part has hair that is only 1.5" long. This iron fits to flatten out that hair, where the original Revolution didn't fit as well. I also appreciate that I can indeed curl my hair with this. When my hair was down to my shoulders, my original Revolution didn't work as well for curling my hair as this Diamond Edition is working on my chin length hair.
I will use both irons, depending on what I want to do on any particular day.

Did Not Work When Travelling To EuropeI purchased the Sedu Revolution Diamond Syling Iron specifically for travelling around Italy. It did not work anywhere. I tried it in Venice and in Rome and it wouldn't turn on at all. Would not recommend this product if you are purchasing it solely for travelling.Oct 14, 2014Marilyn

Best Flat Iron Ever!I have very damaged hair from bleaching and heat styling.
But this flat iron actually locks in moisture, and makes my hair look healthy again. You only need one single pass to straighten. I haven't even had to use the maximum temperature. I use 340, and it's plenty hot. I shall never use another flat iron ever again!Sep 3, 2014Christine / CanadaHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

I am so amazed how I don't have to do my hair every day with this iron. It works Great!! I love the auto shut off feature and the different temp. settings.

Everything And Morewhile going through cosmetology school i got a babyliss which was an amazing flat iron that stopped heating up about two years later, sense then i have used many cheaper name brand irons that just did not live up to my babyliss. so i did my research on folica and for the options that i wanted the sedu diamond seemed to be the best choice and it was. it heats up faster then my babyliss, curles better, straightens much faster, and it has auto shutoff which seems to be hard to find.May 27, 2014Bethany / VirginiaHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Top Of The LineWhile surfing online and reviewing several reviews I took the big leap and purchased this amazing flat iron and I.am happy to say I did. The Folica customer service was excellent and to receive a product true to its name is exceptional . I am not a online shopper, so when I hit the order button I was really nervous , but best purchase to date. My hair likes the iron and is straight n smooth. It does everything the company says it will do. What made me happy that I did this was..I didn't see that u could get the gift set for the same price as the iron alone, but I didn't have to worry that I missed it because Folica placed the better value in my shopping cart. If your in need of any product that this company sales I wouldn't hesitate and take the leap. Great product and great company.May 25, 2014Karen / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

DisappointedI had ordered this product and at first really liked the waves it gave my hair the first time, but noticed it gave my hair a burnt smell even on a lower setting and offcourse using a heat protectant. I called Folica and they exchanged the product. Even with the new flat iron it still gives my hair a burnt smell, to the point where when my boyfriend or family members hugged me or came close to me they would ask why my hair smelt burnt. I do like Sedu products, but am completely disappointed in the Sedu Revolution Diamond flat iron. Also, I'm curious has anyone else had this issue?

Worth The Cost!I have had my SEDU Revolution Diamond Iron for about a month now and absolutely LOVE it! I received it as an anniversary gift and am very pleased with the results. My natural hair is thick and long and this straightener makes it very smooth and silky in minimal time! I do however use a heat protectant because it can get really hot! I chose this brand because I wanted it to be an investment and wanted something that would last. It is also digital and has auto shut off! Overall, it was a great choice for me!

So Happy I Went With The SeduI only received my Sedu Revolution Diamond Styling Iron yesterday, and I am already in love with it! After my beloved Paul Mitchell died, I spent months researching and sampling flat irons. I looked at everything from Chi's to BaByliss, and I am so happy I went with the Sedu. I was able to straighten my hair (wavy curly, shoulder length) in under ten minutes, and it felt so smooth and soft. My husband even commented that it looked like I had just left the salon. My hair was still straight and shiny the next morning. On top of that, I love the auto-shut off and the way the sedu feels in my hand. It also heated up very quickly. I was very weary of trying a new brand, but I am so happy I did!Mar 18, 2014Jennifer / Denver, COHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair

Spring Break Re-charge
by gwilson on Mar.14, 2011, under Uncategorized
We've entered into that mid-semester respite known as Spring Break. It came none too soon this year! After a couple of months of digging into our courses and working around a week of snow and ice, now we experience the equivalent to "hump day" and start the downward slide toward summer. For some, it means the end is coming too soon to get their course performances up to snuff. For others, it means the end of the semester is a mirage on the horizon – a moving target that never seems to get closer.
So what does all that mean when it comes to our semester grounded in reality? It means we are past mid-term grades. It means we start the thoughts of pre-registration for next fall. It means things like academic awards banquets and end-of-school accolades take center stage. It means we work hard to recruit our incoming students and prepare ourselves to bid farewell to graduating seniors. Such things are never on our radar screens in August or September, but cannot be overlooked when the calendar reads "March".
For all who are already part of our BIMS program, rest up this week and be ready for "finishing well" – the mark of outstanding students. For those looking to join our program, "finish well" where you are. We look forward to walking through your college careers with you to prepare you for meaningful careers in biomedical science – research, employment, patient care, forensics.

Janice Marie Alsobrook
Janice Marie Alsobrook came into this world on Sept. 29, 1964. Parents Ray "J" and Barbara Fern (Allen) Alsobrook welcomed her with open arms and hearts. She joined her sister Margie, and two years later they welcomed their brother Mike. They were among the family and friends that were with her as she made her final journey from this world.
Jan broke free from the chains that bound her in this life on the evening of Feb. 13, 2014. Earlier that day she faced the news of her mortality with strength and courage and fought that last battle well. There again with open arms to meet her were her parents and older brother Jackie Ray, whom she had not met in this life.
Missing her infectious laugh and sparkling blue eyes are brother and sister, Mike Alsobrook and Margie Wood, niece Jenny and husband Bill Bashore, nephew Matt Wood, great nieces Taylor and Erin, great nephew Ian Bashore, and longtime faithful and furry companion Trigger.
The Alsobrook family moved to Dolores from Wyoming in 1976. Jan attended school there until the family relocated to Cortez after purchasing The Hair Affair in 1979. She was a 1983 graduate of Montezuma-Cortez High School then attended cosmetology school in Durango and became a licensed cosmetologist working at The Hair Affair in Cortez for many years.
Jan was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and enjoyed her many callings, especially working in the genealogy library. She also enjoyed singing in the choir, photography, traveling, scrapbooking, and watching movies. Trips to the mountains in the fall to see the changing colors were one of her favorite things. She loved animals and adopted many homeless pets over the years. She never met a stranger, had a good heart, and would do just about anything she could to help someone out.

Rising from the ashes
July 03 2009 12:28PM
You would think that in the wake of the Dany Heatley debacle, Oilers fans and Edmontonians would be standing in line to lie down on the proverbial train tracks and wait for the 12:15 Express to roll by and end all the suffering.
Instead we are seeing a shocking amount of people deciding that this isn't an Edmonton problem – it's a Heatley problem. And while people all over the internet are delighting in rubbing salt in our collective wounds, Oilers fans are flocking to this little website in increasingly overwhelming numbers to voice their support for their team and defending the City they love – regardless of the opinions of a handful of pro athletes.
Calling the bottom
You can probably mark July 2, 2009 down in your calendars as the bottom of stock in the Edmonton Oilers. Yeah the old stock price has taken a beating of late – of that there is no doubt. But whereas in the past many fans were seemingly content to remain silent, sit back and take shit from dink hockey players who spurned their hometown in the past – it's different this time.
When we wrote a little article yesterday on this non-pornographic internet portal we were shooting from the hip - telling everyone down on the team and the city to grow a pair of proverbial balls and telling Dany Heatley to get stuffed in the process. It could have been a risky move – there could have been plenty of sass-bashing fans coming on here and explain to us how Heatley was in fact correct in his refusal to waive his NTC. Who would want to live somewhere so (gasp) cold right?
Little did we know that it instead unleashed a torrent of people who were seemingly waiting for a chance to show substantial pride in both the City of Edmonton and the Oilers.
The onslaught
Generally WanyeMail™ is a river of twitter alerts, herbal aphrodisiac sales pitches and other junkery. But in the past 24 hours we have been getting actual emails from actual people. Like over 40 emails.
Here are some excerpts:
"Hey Wayne – thanks for writing that article today. I was so happy to read that someone wasn't ready to roll over and die at the feet of a bastard like Dany Heatley. The Oilers will be fine, just you wait!" "Hello OilersNation – as an Edmonton native now living in London, England I just wanted to thank you for writing that article encouraging Edmontonians to show pride in their city. I have lived overseas for over 20 years but I think of my hometown every day. Edmonton might be cold but it is really a fantastic city. People who don't realize that should pull their heads out of the sand." "WANYE – F****** rights!!!! Screw Heatley and anyone who doesn't want to come to Edmonton. Things are bound to turn around. In Kay-Z we trust." "Wanye – That was a great article you wrote today. I moved from Edmonton to Boston for school and stayed because of a job. I have been homesick for a good Skyreach Centre (now RX1) beer ever since. Your website has allowed me to feel as though I am back on Whyte Ave having a beer with my friends. I miss Edmonton terribly! GO OILERS!" "Just wanted to shoot you a quick email and tell you that I really enjoyed your article encouraging Oilers fans to get some swagger back in their stride. I am an Oilers fan living in Phoenix. I was a Gretzky fan in the 1980s and have stuck with the team ever since even though #99 is our Coach! I am always amazed every time I meet an Edmontonian at a hockey game. You guys are always so passionate and energetic yet polite and respectful. I know our Oilers will come back from this and will win the Cup again soon!"
A full disclaimer
Yeah you know what? Yes, it's cold here. And yes, we consider Southgate Mall's recent "Aug 5" advertising campaign to be a landmark event in the past 3 years. And yes, our 100 foreign visitors in 2008 were shocked by how many people drive pickup trucks in Edmonton.
Big deal.
This is home and there are millions around the world and right here in Edmonton who wouldn't want to be anywhere else. And eventually the Oil will land a superstar or two who will compliment the 20 or so Edmonton Oilers who are already proud to call Edmonton home. The team will win again - and in the meantime we will continue to freeze our bits off getting to RX1 to cheer them on. We wouldn't have it any other way.
And when it does turn around - and it will make no mistake - all of the nay sayers that are having a field day running down Edmonton and the Oilers all over the internet, TV and newspapers will receive an Oil stained sucker punch directly to the face courtesy of the proud members of the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club.
And from us there will be no mercy. Those who have jumped off the bandwagon will immediately be shot if trying to reboard the wagon by the likes of scorecoff hemmercules, socaldave, cambosmash, humantorch, KayleW, OvenChicken8, West Coast Oil and the thousands of other Oilers fans who are waiting for their day of redemption to arrive.
Calling the bottom Pt 2
The funny thing about picking a time to invest in a company is that if the fundamentals are strong – the bottom is exactly the right time to get involved. Everything goes through peaks and valleys. We are doubtlessly in a valley in right now. But with our Owner, the new management and coaching staff bound and determined to rebuild this team - things are strong. With a fan base so hilarious that over 200,000 people visited a website of this dubious quality in the past 30 days – sending a reporter to the draft in the process – things are strong. With a roster of players who are doubtlessly sitting back in their solid gold summer homes and watching the image beat down their team is currently receiving at the hands of Heatley, pumping iron and getting ready to defend RX1 in the fall, shoving revenge directly up the ass of the rest of the NHL in the process – things are strong.
Funny thing about calling the bottom of a market. Though things seem like they have hit rock bottom and it is only going to get worse, things actually only go in one direction:
Oh and that jam at the top of the post? Just some kickass mashup by another local gem Nik Kozub, who is probably cold as all hell in the winters too.
I put on for my City. Wanye Gretz, Edmonton, AB.
July 03 2009, 12:33PM
Good on you.
New owner, new arena, revamped downtown in the works -- Edmonton's best days are AHEAD, not behind. Let the naysayers and whiners flock to cow-town.
Man do I wish that whale would land on the kid. He kind of looks like a young Dany Heatley.
Well said, I can't think of anything to add.
July 03 2009, 12:41PM
Wanye for Mayor of Oilerville!

Good work. I don't live in Edmonton anymore, but its got a special place in my heart.
Well said.
We need to be like supporters of Millwall FC in the UK whose unofficial slogan is "Noone Likes Us - And We Don't Care".
You don't want to come to Edmonton? F&$k off then. We can't attract UFAs? Who cares? Build from within and trade.

Are you serious? That's their slogan??
Wait, are they any good?
I love and miss Edmonton every day. Stuck out on Vancouver Island I see how strong our fan base is daily. All the bandwagoneers out here. I have been slavering over every morsel of summer trade and draft action on the Oiler sites. Everyone here seems content to forget about their beloved Canucks until the next time they look poised for a playoff run.
Go Oil. Gratz Heatley on earning the Oil Country ire without ever wearing the jersey...not too many can claim that dubious distinction.
What, Wanye puts out for his city?
*slowly re-reads last line using hooked-on-phonics*
Oh, puts "on". That's not the same thing at all. Or is it?
I'm an Ohio native who only gets to visit Edmonton, and even I take it personally when someone tries to soil the reputation of one of my favourite cities.
As an Oiler fan, I think it's impossible not to be an Edmonton fan at the same time. That's one of the things I love about this team, it goes hand-in-hand with the city (and the region) to which it is apart.
Just call me a proud prospective Edmontonian.
I was really hoping for a MSPaint graph, but the Oilexco graph will work too - oh waita minute.
As I have said if these primadonna's don't want to come here we will have to make our own superstars by drafting better & either trading or poaching better RFA's. The hell with #danyheatley.
Edmonton - putting the Y in City ...
I love this city. I'm mad about our lack of decent public transit. I'm excited that downtown is slowly but surely becoming UNslummy. A new arena? Fuck yes. We have history. We love hockey.
A few years from now when some brilliant, pimpled kid figures out teleportation using the nuclear reactor in the basement of the UofA, nobody will be able to talk shit about our proximity to anything either.
Oh, btw. Canada is apparently doing the best of the G20 countries during this recession. Alberta is hands down the richest province. And Oh, snap, we're the capital city. Lets maybe hold our heads a bit higher.
So how many people just google financed TSE:OIL and were sadly disappointed?
Well said Mr. Gretz. The problem with selling Edmonton to hockey players is that they're only here for the cold Months. I love winter, but if you weren't raised in a Northern environment, I could see why some aren't crazy about it.
I see three options to get around this:
1. Continue burning fossil fuels and eating from styrofoam boxes until our Winters are bearable for Whimpy Southerners*. I have been doing this for over 30 years straight. 2. Convince the NHL to switch their schedule so it starts in March and ends in Oct**. 3. Trade and draft players who have thick enough skin to handle some cold weather and who's wives don't complain about not being able to shop on Rodeo drive 12 Months of the year.
* Whimpy Southerners are anyone born south of Leduc
** The NHL is a progressive league, not afraid of change right? Right? Hello??? Is this thing on???
Edmontonian's rock! I have worked in London, England and Hong Kong, but Edmonton is a world class city no doubt!
The fans have a song and evrything.
They play in the first division.

A-f*cking-men brother. Hockey is a physical, demanding sport, supporting your team the exact same way. Someone knocks you down, you get off your ass.
I have only ever lived in the city for 3 years, but I have been an Oiler fan since I figured out what hockey was 30 years ago. While I might not be a city boy, I have spent enought time there from school, to hockey games, concerts, K-Days, it is a second home to me. No one puts it down, especially some princess hockey player who can't take the heat.
I have been on the floor at RX1 at a concert, and when the band comes out it is retarded loud. I would give both nuts to be able to hear that 42 times a year, and ramp it up for the spring and playoffs. Any REAL hockey player that cannot understand and appreciate that, should just skip right on by this town. As much as we dog the 20 some guys that put on that most hallowed of jerseys, and walks down the aisle to ice surface of the glorious RX1 on 118 and WGD, they get it. They know what it means to stand on that ice while the anthem plays. They see the history facing them when they look at that flag, they can see those names and numbers that define near perfect hockey.
We need a bumper sticker: Stand behind your team, if not feel free to stand in front of them, preferrably when Souray is mid wind-up.
We have a great sports city.
Anyone been to Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa in the winter? Just as cold.
Spoiled hockey players wanting to play in Florida and California? Happy for your opportunity, let's see with the recession full blown down there how full your arenas are this winter.
After 15 years of mediocre Oilers hockey with one Faustian bargain in 2006, the pendulum will swing back, and I hope the Oiler organization has its farm system settled, and its priorities straight when the winning begins. FA's should be begging to play here, the fan support is incredible! Aside from Montreal, there really is no other market as passionate about the game.
Winning, it's an attitude.
July 03 2009, 01:22PM
Did anyone see the tkachuk comments about Edmonton/Heatley situation?
I wouldn't mind bringing him in to whip our boys into shape.
@ OvenChicken8: What did he say?
*collapses into a pile on the floor, uncontrollably weeping with pride*
Screw Vancouver, I'm packing up the "F*ck Dany Heatly" van and coming home immediately!
July 03 2009, 01:28PM
I've never been to Edmonton. I don't even know where it is...but man, after reading this...I truly wish I was an Edmontonarianite!
July 03 2009, 01:30PM
Sure no superstars want to sign here,. Sure there's been no playoffs in 3 years. Sure all of Edmonton's trees lean south.
But you know what?
Since the lockout Edmonton has played the same amount of playoff series as Calgary and Vancouver and in those 4 series they have won series than both teams combined and has a yet another banner to hand in the rafters.
The best part is that as Vancouver moves backwards (no Ohlund & no Sundin) and as Calgary attempts to break St Louis' record of consecutive playoff appearences without winning anything, Edmonton is slowly getting better. This year, without any moves, has cause this team to be written off my many. And I believe that it with the maturation of the young guys, a healthy Visnosky, and a thrid line center, this team is poised to surprise.
July 03 2009, 01:31PM
I have so many friends who do nothing but complain about Edmonton. So what do they do? They move to Vancouver for a year and come running back because it's too expensive, there are too many drugs, and it's full of filthy hippies with money (the worst kind). Oh, and their hockey team sucks too.
Edmonton is good times for good peoples.

@ ronaldo: Paraphrasing it: -Heatley should act like a professional/get over himself and play where he is told -He really likes playing in Edmonton and he likes the atmosphere etc.
It was a quick 30 second blurb on the TSN clip about Heatley being the most hated man in hockey.
*Side note: Mark Spector can eat my (insert filthy body part here). If Edmonton is so bad, tell me, why does he still live here?

Between him and Souray, they would warm the city up in the winter. LOL
@ OvenChicken8: Thanks. Seems like we get a lot of love from the American players (Weight, Guerin, Tkachuk), maybe we should target more of them (kessel).
Edmonton is like any city around 1 million people, it just got there a bit sooner because of oil and seems immature (architecturally that is) because of it. Sure it is super cold here in the winter but last time I checked there is no great pleasure suffering in 40 degree heat. If everyone wanted to play in a perfect climate then the whole NHL would be in Vancouver or San Jose. It is the media and one Pronger-whore that likes to make a big deal about the weather here and they can't stop perpetuating it because there is no other reason they can fathom that a player might not want to be here (maybe he is a sociopathic priss that can't make up his mind, maybe the player is a backstabbing wife-cheating douche that can't help but be an asshole) - but on a whole Edmonton is not a lot worse than Calgary specifically and other similarly sized cities generally.
July 03 2009, 01:54PM
Sweet!! You used me as one of your gun wielding oiler maniacs riding the Nation wagon. I will fufill my duties proudly, shotgun and all.
*sheds a tear of joy*
Although I don't live in Edmonton I have loved every moment I have spent there, feels like home everytime I'm there. If my wife were ever to lose her job, job hunting in Edmonton would be on my list for sure.
"And when it does turn around - and it will make no mistake - all of the nay sayers that are having a field day running down Edmonton and the Oilers all over the internet, TV and newspapers will receive an Oil stained sucker punch directly to the face courtesy of the proud members of the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club."
Solid gold statement! Every Oiler should read that.
On a more serious note, how much would we have to donate to ON to buy Wanye the opportunity to give a motivational speech to the dressing room before game 1 of the season?

I can see it, too, but my version is somewhat different.
Wanye gets jacked for his inspirational address by downing four boxes of Mentos and half a jug of Diet Coke and tequila. After eyeballing the troops, the first thing out of Wanye's mouth is, "Men," and then his stomach contents. He takes a twister and hits the floor . . . death soon follows.
@ Robin Brownlee: You're right, that does sound like a more realistic scenario. That's why they pay you the big bucks.

George, Mario and Jennifer all share this common surname: Lopez!
Dania Ramirez, Sara Ramirez and Cierra Ramirez are all beautiful and talented -- but, no, they're not sisters! Their last name originated in Spain, and means "son of Ramiro."
These three aren't the only ones in Hollywood with the name Rodriguez. In addition to Robert, Michelle and Adam, actors and actresses like Freddy Rodriguez, Genesis Rodriguez, James Roday (Rodriguez), and Raini Rodriguez all boast this common Latino last name, which means "Son of Rodrigo."
Hollywood superstars Cameron Diaz, Rocsi Diaz and Aaron Diaz all share the same name, which is believed to mean "Son of Diego." The surname has roots in Spain and Portugal.
Devious Maids star Roselyn Sanchez, actress Kiele Sanchez, and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez aren't related -- they just share a very popular Spanish last name.
The Queen of Salsa Celia Cruz shares a last name with Spanish actress Penelope Cruz. The last name of Spanish origin means "cross."
The "G' in Becky G actually stands for Gomez -- meaning that the budding pop star shares a name with superstar Selena Gomez. Both singers have origins in Mexico.
Who knew? The King of Bachata, Romeo Santos, shares his name with Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr., who's full name is Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior. "Santos" means "saints" in both Spanish and Portuguese.
Famed comedian and actor Luis Guzman and Step Up: Revolution hottie Ryan Guzman aren't related, but perhaps -- many generations ago -- their ancestors both hailed from the same village of Guzmán, Spain.
Former Miss Universe, Zuleyka Rivera, and Glee star, Naya Rivera, both share this surname, derived from the Spanish word ribera, which means riverbank.

Myanmar's Central Bank Heads for the Cloud
Myanmar's central bank is headed for the cloud.

After decades of performing the bulk of the Central Bank of Myanmar's work longhand, a trio of Japanese companies are pushing the institution to the technological cutting edge. The three companies — Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd Fujitsu Limited and KDDI — collaborated to build the Southeast Asian country its first Internet-linked computing platform in an attempt to help the central bank's antiquated systems keep pace with Myanmar's rapid change.
Myanmar has ushered in a raft of reforms over the last 18 months in a move to breathe new economic life into the country left impoverished and stuck in time after decades of military rule ended two years ago. One of the key challenges is to modernize Myanmar's aging systems. The wide-ranging and extensive menu includes its power grid and sewage system as well as a need to bolster its financial institutions.
The central bank's painstaking method of performing most of its complex operations by hand was a headache in the making. In stepped Japan Inc.
"This new computing environment paves the way to build an ICT (information and communication technology) infrastructure that is indispensable for the modernization of Myanmar's financial system and represents an important milestone toward the establishment of a stock exchange," said Takashi Fukai, President of Daiwa Institute of Research, in a statement released Tuesday. The Tokyo Stock Exchange and the research arm of Daiwa Securities Group signed an agreement with Myanmar in May to help it establish a securities exchange.
Eager to grab a slice of what could be Asia's last frontier, Japanese companies have charged into Myanmar, pushing its technological expertise to edge out a growing field of global competitors. Japanese technology firms see the country as a clean slate, offering tremendous potential for the type of growth missing in the domestic market.
The central bank's new private cloud computing system, essentially computers running applications such as word processing and spreadsheets over the Internet, will raise the institution's efficiency and strengthen its information security. Each of the companies provided a different part of the system. Daiwa designed and built the platform, Fujitsu provided the servers and personal computers, and KDDI crafted and constructed the bank's communications infrastructure, the companies said in a joint statement. The bank is currently outfitted with 150 terminals. The system also includes capabilities to deal with the country's patchy power problems.

There are other fruit sweetened preserves, but not many that are organic, too. This one tastes fresh and homemade.

My husband is a big raspberry fan and he said this was definitely one he wanted me to buy again! I especially liked the ingredient list!
Very good

I love how they don't use sugar. I order strawberries, raspberries, and apricot, but raspberry is my kids favorite! Bigger jar version contains sugar. I wish they had bigger jar of "just fruit spread".

I'm not a jam person, so I find this tastes like every other jam, but I think it's healthier than the bigger brands.
Crofter's Organic Raspberry Just Fruit Spread Has a Good Flavor!
Posted by BeckySue on Mar 13, 2015
I really like the fact that this item is organic. However the flavor is Raspberry but it does not have near enough Raspberry flavor. The first ingredient is grape juice. However the price is certainly reasonable. The flavor is good. It just does not taste enough like raspberries.
