Boston Bruins bring smiles to Newtown
NEWTOWN -- Hundreds of sports fans packed the Newtown Youth Academy on Monday with the hopes of meeting their heroes.
Members of the Boston Bruins -- the 2011 Stanley Cup champions and idols to millions of fans, both young and old -- came to town to host a street hockey clinic for children.
They played hockey with the children, signed autographs, posed for pictures and, most importantly, shared some smiles in a town where smiles have been hard to come by lately.
Amid the fanfare and festivities, the greatest hero at the Newtown Youth Academy Monday night wasn't a Boston Bruin, or even a professional athlete.
It was Natalie Hammond, the lead teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School who was wounded while protecting her students during the horrific shooting attack at the school Dec. 14.
"It's amazing, the fact that the Bruins have taken a day out of their busy schedule to be here with us, and to make our community excited and fun and happy really means a lot," Hammond said. "It's really incredible."
Incredible, too, has been the resilience and fortitude of a town that has endured such unspeakable tragedy. Six educators and 20 first-graders were killed in one of the deadliest school shootings in American history.
A subsequent outpouring of sympathy and support has come from every corner of the globe. While few things will ever interrupt an NHL team's relentless pursuit of the Stanley Cup, the Bruins were happy to put their season on hold for a day so they could visit Newtown.
"We wanted to come here and let the kids be kids and have fun," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "If that's what we've accomplished, then we've accomplished something.
"I have all the time in the world for these people."
Julien's team is coming off a 3-2 win on the road over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. That win moved them into first place in the Northeast Division standings, a point ahead of the rival Montreal Canadiens.
The Bruins will be back in action Thursday when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The rigors of the NHL schedule, however, pale in comparison to the suffering the people of Newtown have endured.
"We're just happy to be here," said Bruins center Rich Peverley, a 30-year-old father of two. "Anything we can do to bring a smile to people's faces and make it a positive experience."
The tragedy hit particularly close to home for the players who have children of their own.
"I can't even fathom what people are going through," said Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference, a 33-year-old father of two. "I can't even begin to understand it."
Other Bruins players on hand included forwards Daniel Paille and Chris Bourque and defensemen Dougie Hamilton and Adam McQuaid.
The Bruins have been quite supportive of the kids in Newtown in the wake of the tragedy. When the Newtown High hockey team held a benefit game Jan. 12 to raise money for Sandy Hook-related charities, the Bruins donated an autographed jersey, which was auctioned off.
"They're not really the local team here, but they've really extended a hand," said Newtown High hockey coach Paul Esposito, a die-hard Bruins fan.
"It's great to see the coaches and the players here, and the (Bruins) support staff and the alumni were here. They ran our practice today. They're doing a fantastic job, and I think a lot of people are really happy they came."

Acreage and harvest trends were substantially higher throughout the U.S. Cotton Belt in 2010 than in the previous production season, providing a springboard for what many are hoping will be an even better 2011.
"Talking with Extension agronomists from across the nation, they're anticipating an increase in acres in their respective states from 10 to 25 percent. We could get back to 2004-2005 levels in 2011," says Guy Collins, University of Georgia Extension cotton agronomist. Collins gave a review of 2010 during the opening session of the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta.
"I think we hit our bottom as far as acres in 2008, and we're coming out of that now, which is no surprise due to prices," says Collins.
Yield trends were slightly higher in 2010 than in 2009, he says. "If you look back to 2004, yields have been fairly stable at around the 800-pound mark, which isn't bad when you look at the entire Cotton Belt. You can see an upward trend from 2000 to 2004, but beyond that, it has been fairly consistent despite heat and drought from this past summer," he says.
Looking at total bale production from 2004 up until now, it has followed a very close trend to that of harvested acres. Prior to that, it was more correlated to yield trends, he says.
The Western states of Arizona and California both increased their cotton acreage in 2010. Both states had marginal conditions in the spring with freezing occurring into May, says Collins. Good fall conditions allowed them to mature their crop and achieve high yields.
"In Arizona, the pink bollworm eradication program is coming to an end, largely due to the success of Bt cotton in the region. Roundup Ready Flex Pima varieties will be offered in 2011, so there may be an increase in Pima acreage this year.
For 2011, considering the recent price rally along with the availability of new technology and equipment, the outlook appears very positive for U.S. producers, says Collins.
In the Southwest, growers had a good year, with frequent rainfall throughout the entire season, says Collins. Texas dominated the Cotton Belt acreage-wise with more than 5 million acres.
"It's difficult to discuss in general terms the state of Texas because it is so large," says Collins. "In south and central Texas, they had a relatively expensive production year, largely due to insect pests such as flea hoppers and stink bugs. But they did have decent yields. In April and May, rainfall delayed planting in some of the Blackland areas, and rainfall also slowed crop growth substantially."
High Plains growers had several challenges, but they had a good start with a dry June and wet July. "These are some of luckiest growers in the nation in that they do not have glyphosate-resistant Palmer armaranth pigweed yet. Texas growers had near-record bale production this past year with excellent fiber quality."
In his region-by-region review of 2010, Collins says essentially every state in the Southeast increased its cotton acreage in 2010 compared to 2009. "Yields were appreciable, although not always what we wanted them to be. In the upper part of the Southeast – Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina – yields were highly variable, depending mainly on rainfall patterns. Drought hit hard in some areas of North Carolina and Virginia."
Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed continues to be a challenge in this region, he says. "And as we move down in the Cotton Belt, we saw some potash deficiencies and resulting leafspot diseases. That was the case throughout the Southeast," says Collins.
Moving further South, Georgia had a good start to the season with excellent rainfall and good vigor in the spring.
"But that was followed by a hot and dry summer, primarily in July, which negatively impacted yields in some places, especially for those guys who didn't have irrigation. The rains returned in August, which saved a few of us, and we were able to make a top crop in some cases, followed by excellent harvest conditions."
In the lower Southeast, glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed is an ongoing battle, but growers are being more proactive about the pest, whether it be technology driven or through management practices, says Collins.
Not so much in Georgia but in other parts of the Southeast, caterpillar pests were an issue this year, he adds. "As in other parts of the Southeast, yields were variable, partially dependent upon rainfall. In the latter part of July, our temperatures were extremely high in Georgia. Rainfall patterns were relatively dry compared to past years during the month of July. That forced our crop into a premature cutout in some cases and a lot of stress that could have impacted yields."
One issue facing these growers in this region is variety changes, especially in Georgia, Alabama and Florida, and to some degree in South Carolina and the southern part of North Carolina, says Collins.
"We relied very heavily on Deltapine 555 as our predominant variety in past years. With the expiration of the single-gene Bt varieties, we are looking frantically for a replacement for our staple variety. We do have some varieties that seem to be competing well with 555, although the list is small. One thing we have seen in just a year is a drastic improvement in our fiber quality which does help the marketability of our cotton."
Varieties planted in 2010 illustrate the "last gasp" of Deltapine 555, says Collins. Deltapine still dominates in the Southeast region, although there is a growing interest in Phytogen and FiberMax varieties in some of these states, he says.
"As we transition to new varieties, we notice they tend to have different fruiting patterns, and that affects how we manage the crop. Deltapine 555 is very aggressive, requiring aggressive PGR management, and that does not apply to some of these new varieties, so we're having to change our management style as we make the transition."
Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth is a primary challenge that has faced Southeastern growers for the last several years now, he says. "Now it has moved to north Alabama, and we hate it for those growers. However, they may be at a slight advantage in that they can learn from the experiences of farmers who have dealt with this problem in the past."
In the Mid-South, essentially every state in the region increased its cotton acreage in 2010, notes Collins. Slightly higher yields were seen in 2010 than in 2009, especially in the Delta.
"Starting in the Missouri Bootheel, less rainfall was received than the long-term average. In Missouri, sections of the state went from extremely dry to extremely wet conditions. In Arkansas, they had a warm spring that allowed them to plant earlier. There was injury from pre-emergence herbicides due to rainfall patterns. Plant bugs are an ongoing challenge for those growers, but they were able to manage it with about three applications. They had a hot and dry mid and late season."
Tennessee lost about 60,000 acres of cotton due to flooding, and that land was not replanted to cotton, says Collins.
Mississippi got off to a great start in 2010 with excellent planting conditions, but growers there had a very hot and dry June, says Collins. Record heat in August caused square shed, but harvest weather and yields were good, he says.
"Louisiana had a very dry spring and had to replant some of their cotton," says Collins. "Spider mites and plant bugs are an ongoing challenge throughout the Mid-South, along with potash deficiencies."
In the Mid-South, Stoneville varieties appear to dominate the region, he says. But there is a growing interest in Phytogen varieties, especially in Tennessee, with more than 60 percent of their acres planted to Phytogen varieties.
Challenges for 2011 for the Mid-South include glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth, says Collins. "Growers there are attracted to grain crops, largely due to the shift in infrastructure and the costs associated with producing a grain crop versus producing cotton. There are opportunities for cotton in the region for 2011, one being price, which could reward us all. High prices along with improved varieties and new technology could make cotton very competitive in this region."
In the Mid-South and in the Southeast this year, high micronaire was observed in some cases, says Collins. "That comes as no surprise with the varieties we're planting along with hot and dry conditions. It was widely variable depending on the state and the rainfall received."

I hope everyone is fighting against flu season and winning! Work was madness last week and my weekend was action packed so on my day off yesterday I was a slug and didn't do anything but watch b-horror movies on Netflix and make earrings.
I have a necklace tutorial I wanted to share. Now I rarely make necklaces, because I rarely wear necklaces. I usually just wear my press pass/id around my neck. But these are super simple to make and I need something cute to wear on my days off, right?
Howlite Spikes: I got mine off ebay and at bead stores in NYC
Jump Rings
Clasps: I'm using lobster claws
Cut a piece of wire. A little less than a foot would be more than enough, it all depends on how much you want to wrap around your spike.
Start wire-wrapping the bead. Slip the wire in the holes, keeping one length longer then the other. Holding the longer length, start working it around the bead. You don't have to go in a straight, uniform line. When you reach the end, tuck it into the mass. Create a loop with other end and then wrap the rest around.
Now take your chain. I'm using this white-gold chain. I would honestly prefer all gold, but I don't have enough so I'm improvising.
Thread your spike.
Open two jump rings.
Add your end and your clasp.

Best of the Decade
Just as they did ten years ago, James Quandt and TIFF Cinematheque (née Cinematheque Ontario) have conducted a worldwide poll of film curators, archivists, historians and programmers for best ("most important") films of the decade (scroll down for the compiled list). It's a heady and wonderful list that militates unashamedly and polemically for film as art. There are 54 films on the list, and four of the top 5 are Asian. Here's the top 10:
1. Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand)
2. Platform (Jia Zhang-ke, China)
3. Still Life (Jia Zhang-ke, China)
4. Beau Travail (Claire Denis, France)
5. In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai, Hong Kong, China)
6. Tropical Malady (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Thailand)
7. The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (Cristi Puiu, Romania); and Werckmeister Harmonies (Béla Tarr, Hungary).
8. Éloge de l'amour (Jean-Luc Godard, France)
9. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu)
10. Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas, Mexico)
One of the purposes of such a list is to stimulate conversation and debate. So, let me make a few comments about it; I invite you to do the same.
-- Just 5 of the 54 are women-made films: Beau Travail and L'Intrus (Claire Denis); The Gleaners and I (Agnes Varda); The Headless Woman (Lucretia Martel); and Longing (Valeska Grisebach). Missing women filmmakers include Chantal Akerman, Catherine Breillat, and Jennifer Reeves (among many others).
-- The list privileges narrative, feature-length films. Avant-garde/experimental cinema is almost wholly absent (save Ken Jacobs, and Apichatpong, whose work straddles narrative and avant-garde modes). Thus, for instance: no James Benning, Peter Tscherkassky, Nathaniel Dorsky, Michael Robinson, or (again) Jennifer Reeves. Also: no short films except Guy Maddin's The Heart of the World.
-- The decade was marked by an explosion of the documentary form, which had a profound influence on fiction filmmaking and even made great incursions into the mainstream. But documentaries (except the Varda) go missing on the list.
-- By explicitly advancing the cause of art cinema, a poll such as this automatically marginalizes the aesthetic merits of commercial cinema. So, from Hollwyood to Bollywood, popular cinema barely registers here.
-- A personal aside: My own cinephilia peaked during this time. I attended TIFF throughout the decade, and caught most of the films on the list at the festival. There's exactly one film here that I didn't care for at the time: Roy Andersson's Songs from the Second Floor (2000). Time to give it a second look.
-- I wonder: are all filmmakers represented here by their most worthy work of this decade? There are two Tsai Ming-Liang films on this list but not What Time is it There? (2001), which, to my mind, is a key film in his oeuvre, a kind of summation of his themes and a compendium of his style. I have no quarrel whatsoever with Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth or In Vanda's Room (astounding films, both!) but I miss the inclusion of his Straub/Huillet documentary, Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? Finally, I wonder: is Lucretia Martel's The Headless Woman her best film--better than The Holy Girl or La Cienaga?
Let me conclude by adding a handful of personal choices that are not on the list: La Captive (Chantal Akerman, France), RR (James Benning, USA), Remembrance of Things to Come (Chris Marker, France), Man Without a Past (Aki Kaurismaki, Finland), and Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine (Peter Tscherkassky, Austria).
I'd love to hear your reactions to the Cinematheque list--and your ideas for "best films of the decade" that don't appear on it.

Obama Campaign Sinks to New Low – Scare Our Seniors to Death by Rev Michael Bresciani, August 17, 2012
Spending the last week studying the Ryan plan on Medicare against the remarks made about it by Barack Obama and Joe Biden has produced a surprising result. The surprise is in finding that the only way Mr. Obama can deal with Ryan's plan is to lie about it and he has done plenty of that.
When this writer is not dealing with the religious beliefs and trends in the nation I spend most of the remaining time on general trends, pop culture influences and philosophical assuagements that are the ebb and flow of American society.
Little digging is needed to capture the tone and temper of the Obama campaign and the effect it has on the people. It is open and blaringly apparent that Mr. Obama can manipulate both words and emotions with all the skill of a pied piper. What he can't seem to do is consistently tell the truth.
But Would the President Actually Lie, Misrepresent the Facts or Manipulate the Free Election Process?
Yes – is the easiest way to answer the question, but in fairness let's look at his record of campaign tactics to see if he has ever, cajoled, threatened, coddled, omitted facts, blamed others or twisted the truth in his campaign so far.
Blame vs. Responsibility
Barack Obama has for the last three plus years blamed George Bush, the weather, earthquakes and Europe for most of the economic policy disasters he has personally engineered that are now bringing the nation's economy to its knees. That's not the debate, that's the record.
We have all heard the terms, reverse engineering, reverse psychology and reverse discrimination, but now, courtesy of the mind of Barack Obama a new term has emerged. It is 'reverse responsibility" it works both ways whether you did something or failed to do something you can't take credit for it.
It is best seen in the cartoon art found together with an article entitled "Built By Obama: What You See Is Not What You Get" over on the wildly popular website called The Peoples Cube. The article which first appeared in PJ Media is great, but the picture says it all. In a rendering of Mr. Obama's head are two sections, one says, "If you're successful, it's to someone else's credit." The other section says, "If you're a failure it's someone else's fault."
If this kind of thinking were found in a high school freshmen we could laugh it off and forget about it, but in a sitting president it is frightening.
Promise Them the World, but give them…
In the 1950's Lavin perfumers launched one of its most memorable ad campaigns with the slogan "Promise her anything, but give her Arpege." In the same spirit Barack Obama has promised, the gay community the whole world short of hoisting the rainbow flag over the White House and the Congress. With 'Don't Ask – Don't Tell" gone and all new hate crime legislation enacted it may not be too far off before we see the multi colored flag waving over 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. What we know is that it is not about a flag, but it is about securing gay votes on November 6, 2012.
The thing about liars and the very father of lies himself (Satan) is that those who believe the lies not only have been duped, but they have also been gypped.
Constitutionally, the lie that the 14th amendment doesn't cover the gays, leads to frantic, fearful and fanatical ways to prove that anyone who disagrees with them must be motivated by hate.
On the theological or biblical level, they have been duped and ultimately gypped because the lie that they have been, 'born that way' effectively keeps them from the truth that they need to be "born again." (Jn 3: 1-8)
Pander to Special Groups and Minorities
Hispanic votes have been bought and paid for with a single stroke of the president's pen by the recent executive order that grants amnesty to dependents of illegal aliens. Add to this the easing of border restrictions and now millions of Hispanics would not dare risk the ousting of their champion for fear they may be deported. This is pandering with executive privilege which historically speaking is unprecedented and lends new meaning to the word - pandering. It lends nothing to the character of the president.
Since the border enforcement agencies have been defanged, 15 murders and rapes have been committed by released illegals. Exposing American citizens to murderers and rapist to garner a few votes makes simple lying look tame by comparison. Do Mr. Obama's policies make him culpable for the murders and rapes done by the released illegal border crosser's – not according to Obama's 'reverse responsibility' thinking.
Suppression of the Military Vote, Which is Ordinarily Conservative
Before you fly away from this article in unbelief - read it yourself. The Obama camp has actually filed suit to keep our bravest and finest from voting in the last three days for early voters under the Voter Act. (UOCAVA) Ohio is a swing state so some fifteen military organizations are counter suing the DNC so their votes are not blocked. Need details? Check out Editor, David Kupelian's scathing article about the move to suppress and deny the traditionally conservative military vote from being cast.
Fight the States on Voter ID Laws
Pennsylvania voter ID laws remain intact due to the 70 page decision by Judge Robert Simpson, but other states are still embroiled in Obama and DNC efforts to have ID laws nullified. Why would anyone in the nation be upset with a law that curbs voter fraud, this is a question millions are asking?
Fraud has been found on every level. It has been shown that cats, dogs, convicted felons, dead people and imaginary people have been found on the registration rolls in some states. The Obama campaign is OK with most of them and we can be thankful that intergalactic space aliens have not made themselves known as yet, or they too, would be showing up on the voter lists.
The Obama led War to Save Women from the Draconian Ways of the Conservatives
Since neither the GOP or conservatives in general have ever been at war with women, we have only to scratch the surface to ascertain that this make believe war is based on a woman's right to abortion. Without criticism or scolding it takes no great understanding in the use of the English language and the use of semantic devices to conclude that the death of fifty four million unborn babies and the word 'health' maybe the single most self-serving use of a non-sequitur in the entire history of mankind. How does the death of anyone; add up to 'health?'
Statistically 1.37 million women a year have an abortion thus it would be well within reason to assume that most of Obama's female supporters and sycophants come from this large bloc of voters and from those who think abortion is perfectly OK even though they may have never had an abortion.
We have all seen the pictures at Obama rallies filled with hand waving, clapping and drooling women who seem only a short step removed from pictures of frenzied teen-aged girls at an Elvis or Beatles concert.
These kinds of women would throw Mother Teresa under a bus to spend a few seconds gawking at George Clooney or a chance to briefly touch the hand of their favorite celebrity. Being fed with smiles, humor and feigned love, they can feel the heat, the luminescence and the proof that this is indeed – the man.
Nothing wrong with a little excitement, but it is the same kind of enthusiasm that helped to elect a pop-culture figure in 2008. If we have learned anything in the past four years, wouldn't it be that pop-culture figures make very poor presidents?
It is here where we are forced to conclude that like the words of folksinger Tom Paxton's famous song entitled 'The Last Thing on my Mind' it may be after all for these exuberantly impassioned sycophants' – "A lesson too late for the learning."
Obama says: 'The Ryan Plan' is Armageddon for Seniors' - Utter Nonsense!
In fact under Obamacare both spending and the cost of Medicare will continue to soar. Ryan's plan will not have any effect whatsoever on anyone over 55 and will not push granny over a cliff as Mr. Obama and his super-Pac's are pedaling in their extremely dishonest ad campaigns. We need to get the facts and convey them to seniors before they panic on the strength of a purely politically motivated misrepresentation of the facts.
An older gentleman, many years my senior told me once that, if you want to get people onboard a cause you must be 'against something.' Anti- drugs, anti-alcohol or anti anything will raise someone's ire and support will follow. In this nation the greatest presidents, were for something, usually America itself, and under their leadership the country flourished.
What is Mr. Obama for? If the last four years have revealed anything our perpetually campaigning president has proven he stands for only one thing – himself.
Using fear to extort votes from our seniors is cowardly and unprincipled, but whether you agree or not, it is obviously un-presidential. We can do better than this America.
