Two Late Goals Vault U-17 MNT to 2-1 Win Against Canada
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2012) – The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team conceded an early goal, but earned a come-from-behind 2-1 win against Canada on Sunday at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Alan Winn scored the game-tying goal off an assist from Christopher Lema in the 60th minute, after Canada had taken an early lead following a 6th-minute goal from Marco-Leonel Dominguez.
Sebastian Elney entered the match in the 71st minute as a substitute for forward Ahinga Selemani and quickly impacted the match – scoring the game-winning goal in the 87th minute to help the U.S. earn its first win in the past four matches.
Elney's goal was assisted by Corey Baird.
The U.S. is back in action on Nov. 28 as the team kicks off the 2012 Nike International Friendlies against Brazil at 5 p.m. ET at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, Fla.

Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl. In a small mixing bowl, combine the fish sauce, water, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder and sesame oil. Season with black pepper. Whisk well and add the beef. Toss well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator and place in the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a metal blade. Process until smooth. To test, bring a small pot of water to a boil, add a teaspoon of the mixture to the water and cook for about 1 minute. Remove from the water, taste and adjust seasoning. Roll the rest of the mixture into individual balls, about 1 tablespoon for each ball. In a saucepan, bring the beef stock to a boil. Add the meat balls, stirring occasionally. When the meat balls start to float, cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the green onions, Nuoc Cham and black pepper. Ladle into individual bowls and serve.
Stem the chile. Split the chile in half, remove and discard the seeds and membrane. Finely chop the chile. Combine the chopped chile, garlic and sugar in a mortar. Pound the mixture into a paste. Remove the zest and pith from the lime, and discard. Add the lime to the chile mixture. Mash well. Add the fish sauce and the water. Mix well. Serve as a seasoning agent instead of salt and pepper.

Supreme Court Façade Restoration - West
Update: November 4, 2013 — This project has been completed.
The U.S. Supreme Court Building's West Front Façade is undergoing a complete restoration to address deterioration due to age, weather and nature.
The United States Supreme Court Building, designed by architect Cass Gilbert, was constructed between 1929 and 1935. The classically detailed exterior is clad with white Vermont Imperial Danby marble with bronze windows and ornamental bronze doors, railings and light fixtures.
In December 2005, a modillion from the pediment cornice failed and fell to the ground which initiated the planning for the restoration of the building's west facade. Emergency repair work has been performed on the West Portico over several years during summer recess of the Court, but now full restoration work is underway.
The project entails removing of old and new bird deterrent systems and safety netting and replacement of the mortar and sealants in all of the joints between the stones. Additionally, the stone will be cleaned to remove general soiling, black gypsum crusts and disfiguring copper staining.
The stone cleaning will use a low-pressure water washing method using mild detergents. The column capitals, carved portions of the cornice and the pediment statuary will be cleaned with a laser technology similar that which is used cosmetically for skin. The laser removes soiling without touching the very deteriorated and fragile stone. The carved stone of the portico column capitals and cornice and the sculpture of the portico pediment will also receive a special conservation treatment, called consolidation, to slow the deterioration of the stone and loss of detail.
The bronze grilles at the portico will be cleaned of paint, coatings and corrosion and will be restored to the original brown statuary bronze finish to match the new windows that were installed as part of the interior rehabilitation.
Scaffolding was installed during the summer of 2012 across the entire west elevation of the building. The scaffold is wrapped in a scrim enclosure printed with a full-size photograph of the building's façade – a practice that is used extensively in Europe.
The remaining scaffolding and scrim will remain in place for the duration of the project.

Summer at Trinity
Trinity School Summer Camp offers new learning experiences for rising Pre-K through rising Sixth Grade students. The camp, which premiered in 2016, had a very successful 2017 season. In June, Trinity School had more than 400 campers participate in 20 different camps, which is nearly double the number of campers from its opening year.
The camp's second year also saw some wonderful enhancements, including Flik lunch offerings and the addition of Atlanta Sports Camps. During this traditional sports summer camp founded by Trinity P.E. Teacher Brian Balocki, campers engaged in activities such as soccer, kickball, tag and capture games, basketball, flag football, hockey, lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee, and cooperative challenges. Campers also spent two mornings each week at a local swimming pool where they played water sports.
Trinity's Special Interest Camps once again offered fun and diverse learning opportunities. Many of these camps are taught by Trinity Teachers, and the following are some highlights.
Early Learners Lead Teacher Pam Lauer and Kindergarten Lead Teacher Brooke Kelly teamed up to teach the very popular Wilderness Explorers Series. This year they offered: Animal Tracks and Traps, The Enchanted World of Fairies, Junior River Keepers, and Insect Safari. Each of these camps featured exciting outdoor adventures in Discovery Woods.
Kindergartner Bryson says, "My favorite thing about wilderness camp is that we saw different animals and different insects, like a giant apple daddy snail. I am Bryson, the animal finder."
Fifth Grade Lead Teacher Thomas Benefield's Art Explorations Camp gave participants a chance to explore and develop their creative side. Abrakadoodle Art offered a combination of science, math, and art in its STEAM Art Adventure. Each Abrakadoodle camp ended with an art show where the campers presented their work. During Fine Cooking Camp, campers learned about nutrition, cultural cuisine, and etiquette and made a variety of dishes that included chicken and rice, cupcakes, and pizza.
In Early Learners Assistant Teacher Samantha Osby's Lego Camp, campers were challenged to build large Lego sets that included flying machines, from helicopters to Star Wars ships. Engineering Specialist Kevin Howard taught the very popular Not So Evil Genius Invention Camp. He took campers on adventures against arch nemeses that allowed them to design, build, and problem solve their way out of seemingly impossible situations. Led by Pre-K Lead Teacher April Patton and Science Teacher Thalia Scott, Super Scientists Camps returned this year. Campers learned about chemistry in Fizz, Pop, Bang…Kids Chemistry and about prehistoric animals in Digging for Dinosaurs.
Kindergartner Kieran says, "I love Super Scientists camp! My favorite part was digging up dinosaurs and building dinosaurs."
During Mathminds Camp, which is also a popular Extended Programs class led by Second Grade Assistant Teacher Kerry Coote, campers worked at their own level and pace to solve math challenges. This camp offered something for those that needed extra support in math as well as those that love a math challenge.
"I love the size of the group," says Third Grader Emma. "I get to work one-on-one with my teacher and work in a small group with one or two friends."
Trinity School Summer Camp is a great way for current families to stay engaged during the summer and for the School to connect with other members of the Atlanta community. Each camp offering is an opportunity for Trinity and non-Trinity students to be a part of a community of learners, gain new experiences, and build friendships in a safe and fun environment. Whether they were learning to compete in a healthy way, be a team player, hike through the forest, or explore math and science concepts, every camper created special memories that will last a lifetime.

SCERA's Theatre for Young Audiences' RAPUNZEL Begins 2/18
Grimm meets Disney. That's how director Chase Ramsey describes his concept for SCERA's upcoming Theatre for Young Audiences production of "Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale."
That's because the Utah premiere of "Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale" combines many of the elements of the original Grimm story but puts a happy twist on it reminiscent of Disney's animated hit "Tangled" - making it a charming new musical designed for children and the rest of the family. As a bonus, the show's lyricists and writers, Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Freidman (also creators of the popular "How I Became a Pirate"), plan to visit Utah and see the production.
The one-hour musical will offer public performances on Mondays and Fridays @ 7pm beginning Feb. 18 and running through March 8. Reserved-seat tickets are for $6 for adults and $4 for children (age 3-11), $4 seniors (age 65 and older), and students (w/ID). They may be purchased in advance from 10am-6pm weekdays and Saturdays from 12Noon-6pm at the main office of SCERA Center, 745 South State, Orem, by calling (801) 225-ARTS, online at www.scera.org or 30 minutes prior to performance.
Chase Ramsey is directing the familiar tale about the girl with outrageously long hair trapped in a tower deep in the gloomy forest. The evil Lady ZaZa needs Rapunzel to stay hidden so she cannot inherit the kingdom. If Rapunzel escapes before she turns 18, Lady ZaZa's plan will fail. She has put a spell on a once regal fire-breathing dragon to guard the princess but doesn't count on the handsome knight Sir Roderick and his hairdresser friend Edgar - on a quest to find a perfect head of hair - to thwart her plans. In the classic battle of good versus evil, Roderick and Edgar seek to rescue the princess with the help of a crazy gypsy women who wears a cloak fashioned from newspapers, potato chip bags and whatever litter she has gleaned from the forest.
Ramsey, who will earn his bachelor's degree in directing this spring from Utah Valley University, says the magical elements and the music, which ranges from pop to country, drew him to the production. He is also thrilled about his cast, including popular actress Kelly Coombs Johnson as Rapunzel, who is regularly seen in lead roles at theatres up and down the Wasatch Front.
The set, designed by Nat Reed, has a large tower that turns and opens into Rapunzel's rooM. Reed also created a 20-foot puppet for the dragon, Socrates, which will be operated and voiced by Shawn Mortensen, and is sure to be an exciting highlight for kids of all ages.
Other performers include Taylor Eliason as Sir Roderick the knight, Julie Nevin as the gypsy, Samantha Frisby as Lady ZaZa, Brandon Haden as Edgar the Hairdresser, Jillian Ormond as The Queen and Justin Stockett as the King.
SCERA President & CEO Adam J. Robertson loves the Theatre for Young Audiences program. "It's so neat to see kids experience the magic of live theatre, many for the very first time. And for parents, it's witty and fast-paced and entertaining for them as well."

Samsung may be planning four Galaxy Note III variants
Reports have surfaced that Samsung may be producing four versions of the upcoming Galaxy Note III mobile phone.
According to ETNews, the device will launch with various specification choices, which will include a budget-friendly model, high-end variant and a limited edition device.
The report claimed that the high-end version will be a premium handset sporting a 13-megapixel camera produced from "high-quality materials" and sporting an "unbreakable" AMOLED screen.
A cheaper device may also be released, probably with a plastic case, and an eight-megapixel camera. The other Samsung Galaxy Note III variants will also sport the cheaper case but with varying screens, depending on the price.
No other specifications are indicated in the report, but you could easily expect these to vary depending on the model too.
Although unconfirmed, it would be no surprise to see Samsung release various devices as the company did the same thing with its flagship Galaxy S4.

It was an awesome game. Wow @ some of the saves Lu made. Yeah, Datsyuk and his crew wanted it bad. Just the way it is I suppose. Sure Osgood gift wrapped 2 for the Canucks, but you know what, Howard was equal to the task and Detroit was really hungry. It's just two good teams playing good entertaining hockey.Island Nucklehead wrote:trouble wrote:Mikodat wrote:Offensively ... good.. Defensively sucked.. End of story..
Lou say got to make some big saves.. 5 goals let in is not good enough for a goalie making that kinda money
Gimme a break. Luongo made some fantastic saves in this one. It's not on him. 2 PP goals against, 42 shots v 26 shots. Gee, I wonder who kept us in the game? Are you going to blame Luongo every time we lose?
If you would have told me the Canucks would score 4 goals when a quarter of their starting lineup is out with injury, against a Detroit team that is having a helluva time winning games (ie HUNGRY), and come out on the wrong end of a 5-4 decision I would probably take it with a "that'll happen". That was a good game, and the Canucks played well. Detroit NEEDED that game more than we did, and that's no fault to our boys, that's just the way it is.
Keep in mind folks, this team is facing one of the leagues worst injury bites, when you look at who is missing. For this team to be above .500 (5-3 now) without their top goal scorer, top PP QB and other starting players is doing alright in my books. Let's wait until these folks are healthy before we judge the potential of this team. Certainly, lets not hang the goalie for a loss when we give up 40+ shots against.
Although I'm disappointed in the loss, I'm not disappointed in the game. Detroit was on a mission and nothing stopping them.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The latest fashions may look great draped on towering, lithe runway models, but what are top designers offering stylish women who want to look good at work?
Professional women have typically looked to designers such as Kenneth Cole, Nicole Miller and Jill Stuart for guidance and wearable options, all of whom showed their spring 2014 collections at New York's Fashion Week.
But can their revealing panels and cutouts, leather and lace, all well in evidence on the catwalks this week, be appropriate for the work environment?
Absolutely, said Cole, a U.S. American designer known for classically wearable fashions often in black and white.
"The workplace is evolving, and workwear is more accepting of street wear," Cole said ahead of his Saturday presentation, which he characterized as "1980's Harlem chic."
"It's an extraordinary opportunity," he said of designing fashionable work clothes.
"It's always been a priority for me to do cool, comfortable clothes that women can wear to work," he said. "There's no reason that women can't look great and be comfortable looking great."
Miller opted to empower women with a show entitled "Rebels With a Cause," bearing the theme "power meets pretty." She made heavy use of prints, patterns, appliques, metallic embroidery and beading, although the collection was virtually devoid of color but for a bit of soft peachy rose and milky blue.
Her clothes put a decidedly youthful, feminine and edgy spin on the 1980's notion of power dressing, once typified by stiff constructions and aggressive shoulder pads.
Miller played up a sheer fabric she called "power net" and lots of black leather, combined with such items as a chandelier-beaded silk dress.
Cole also presented a street-influenced collection, marked by oversized vests over short dresses or paired with pleated trousers or skirts. He used vivid orange and bright, deep greens, often in sequined fabrics with silver and black.
Cole said his "evolved urban aesthetic" melded streetwear, leisurewear and sportswear, noting that flexibility was endemic to his separates.
"No one has the opportunity to go home and change," he said. "People consume fashion in a way that they never did before."
Tadashi Shoji showed a romantic, "sweet liberation"-themed collection in pale pink, ivory, yellow, lavender and mint green.
"Women's liberation in the 60s and 80s, women wore power suits," he said. "I think women became so confident and they can show their femininity and sweetness."
Rebecca Minkoff, a favorite of the younger set, showed floral dresses, mixed with plaids, and featured a plentitude of embroidery in her high energy show.
Jill Stuart, meanwhile, wielded a tougher edge, with functional, sporty looks using black leather and eschewing embellishment. Cutouts and panels, lace and brocade made subtle statements in a collection rendered almost entirely in black, whites and gray.
Stuart also emphasized shoulders, either bare in halter tops or accentuated with rounded construction.
Cynthia Rowley offered a bit of almost everything. Dresses ranged from minis to well below the knee, and fabrics included large florals, horizontal stripes and solids. Colors were midnight blue, pinks, purples, greens and the ubiquitous black and white.
Her native and nature-inspired fabrics were sculpted, quilted, embossed with flowers and decorated with plumed creatures and sequin-and-feather decoupage.
With offerings spanning flowing gauze to studded leather, Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing said: "What is a career anymore?"
Women in many different industries have changed the idea of "what career dressing is," he said, adding that regardless, "Women are on the go."

Where does your motivation come from because I don't have any and I'd really like some of yours.
I love hearing about people getting in shape and seeing their before and after pictures.
I love seeing when someone I know has transformed their body and themselves and lost weight.
Sure, there's a jealousy there but it's not a malicious jealousy but rather this feeling of, "well I can do it, too. they did it, I can totally do it."
And then they talk about their desire to look better or feel better about themselves. That desire propelled them and kept them away from the frosted brownies from Shop-Rite. That motivation to feel good and be healthy helped them put their sneakers on each day and head to kickboxing or out for a walk or a run or propelled them into Zumba.
And I know none of those were easy. I know it wasn't all rainbows and teddy bears for them. I know they had to work at it each day.
I know it because I've done it. I've motivated myself. I've been so unhappy with myself and uncomfortable in my own skin that I've lost weight and gotten in shape. And it was hard but I did it and it felt great for so many reasons.
But now, almost a year (like two weeks away from a year) after my twins were born , I'm unhappy in my own skin. I'm uncomfortable in my "fat" clothes. I live in baggy t-shirts and yoga pants- sometimes for two or more days at a time. I can't keep myself away from the frosted brownies from Shop-Rite. I can't bring myself to head out the door each day to exercise or at least walk for a bit or, um, anything.
And please don't tell me to be easy on myself. Sometimes, when there is hard work to be done, you don't get to be easy on yourself. You don't get to mill around and take your time. Sometimes you have to get your ass in gear and just do it.
But I can't seem to do that.
I feel like the weight of the world has been on my shoulders lately. And, like every good emotional eater, I've allowed the weight in my ass to show how much the world actually weighs.
And while other areas of my life are pretty good, I am unhappy with myself and I can't take control of that.
Like everyone who struggles with food issues, I'm in control when I dive into those frosted brownies. Luckily, they rarely make their way into my house. And right now, they are gone from my house because, well, my 7 year old and I just polished them off for dessert.
I think that I literally just stumbled upon my own issue as I was writing this post.
I am not in control. Sure, I make our bed each morning so that I have some semblance of control in an otherwise pretty out of control life with 4 kids and an overworked husband. But other than that, things are out of control. And I don't mean spiraling downward or anything to that extreme but just slightly above normal chaos.
I am not in control when one or both of my twins are screaming for no specifically known reason. I am not in control when my 7 year old talks back and not only gets me angry beyond belief but also makes me think that we're doing this whole parenting thing wrong. I am not in control when my 5 year old has ANOTHER tantrum because she hasn't gotten her way about something. I am not in control when the doctor calls to let me know that one of the girls has a severe food allergy. I am not in control when my thoughts and weekends are occupied by things that weigh me down more than I need or want right now.
I am in control when I put the food into my mouth. More often than not, lately, I'm putting the wrong foods into my mouth and I'm not meeting those extra calories with exercise, as I know I should be. I am in control when I send my 7 year old or my 5 year old to their room indefinitely for their behavior and then leave them there 5 or 10 minutes more than they actually deserve. I am in control when I allow the twins to cry just a little bit longer or louder than I probably should because I need to sit in the bathroom for a few more minutes and gain just a tiny bit of peace. I am in control when I turn my phone off or ignore a call or a text or a message or anything having to do with anything that I just can't or don't want to deal with it right then.
I am in control of everything but me and what I need to feel good. And that is extremely upsetting to me. I have completely let myself go and brought about my own unhappiness and I just don't know how to get control of it all.
And the biggest worry of all, is that sometimes I just don't care.
My kids are fed, healthy (for the most part), happy (I think), and getting used to life in a new school and town. My house is not always clean but it's becoming more and more organized (sort of) and clean (sometimes) as the weeks go by. The seemingly important things, my family, my marriage, my home, our health, are intact.
It appears though, and again this is an almost instantaneous realization, I am not.
And the fact that I even wrote this and put this out there shows that I do care a little, but I really struggle to care. And that upsets me.
But I'm not sure if it upsets me enough to do anything about it.
Or if I'm just seizing control of something by choosing to ignore it and hope that `it all gets better on it's own.

Where does your motivation come from because I don't have any and I'd really like some of yours.

I know what you mean. I don't emotional eat but I do struggle at times with emotional drinking and know all the control issues that comes with it or any addiction. I also struggle big time with motivation and yoyo-ing between caring and not caring. When I do have it, I'm unstoppable but when I don't, I'm seriously my own worst enemy. It's a fight. And honestly, the only effective inspiration/motivation is my daughters and my desire for them to be healthy inside and out with a positive body image - something I am learning with them at age 33.
I also won't tell you to go easy on yourself even though I really want to. I mean, I can't imagine running a household of six and having any time for myself at the end of a day, let alone a desire to hit the gym or go running.
That said, I know it's possible and I'm positive you'll find a way to make it happen eventually.
In the meantime (from what I've seen and read) I think you're doing a really awesome job with your kids and new home. Your gang DOES seem happy and that's the most important thing.

A view from the top: mountain forests
"Mountain Forests – roots to our future". That was the headline for this year's International Mountain Day celebrated by the UN every 11th of December since 2003. This year especially emphasized the interdisciplinary implications of sustainable mountain development. Whenever I have the opportunity to spend time in mountains, I realize how strongly the different elements in that landscape depend on each other and how fragile it all is. Earlier this year, for example, I had the privilege to visit the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. The experience of seeing these amazing animals in their natural habitat was incredible and it wasn't just the climb up the Virunga Volcanoes that was breathtaking.
But the conservation of this ecosystem does not only provide benefits in terms of biodiversity conservation. Adjacent communities and the Government of Rwanda as a whole benefit from the income streams the tourism sector generates. Protecting the ecosystem also helps to assure sustainable flow of water from these "water towers" benefiting agriculture and lowland ecosystems alike. Not only are the Virunga gorillas and other mountain species threatened by climate change but there are also consequences for the communities that depend on them.
Covering 24% of the Earth's surface, mountain ecosystems play a critical role in maintaining a sustainable flow of resources to the plains below. Mountains are the source for nearly 50% of the world's freshwater for direct consumption, agriculture, and energy. Also, mountain tourism accounts for 15-20% of the world's tourism industry, totaling an estimated $US70-90 billion per year. Mountain regions are also severely impacted by climate change, which only magnifies existing development challenges. Ecosystems will experience a vertical shift, as climates warm, generally flora and fauna will move towards higher altitudes. Fragile alpine ecosystems systems and endemic flora and fauna are likely to change resulting in significant negative ecological and socio-economic implications.

"Öküzgözü" I'm impressed merely by the plethora of umlauts involved here. It's incredibly intimidating, which means it must sell like crazy since that report awhile back said wines sell more when you can't pronounce the name or know what the name means.
Nice going with the hair shirt. No photo?

Wow, Marcia, you're never first! Nice going. You might also be the last, the way things go these days.
"Where Winemakers Get Their Haircuts" really does sound like an actual article from Wine Enthusiast, which is what made me laugh. And I rarely make me laugh. No photos, though I think you can find one in the J. Crew catalog. Their new "Crew Cut" shirt. Or something like that.

As always this bit is laugh out loud funny (a bad thing in the office)! When you were nominated for a Poodle, I did a tribute bit on my blog and took a stab at doing one of these. Going in I thought it would be fairly easy but soon discovered how difficult it is to write something funny and biting but without crossing the line.
All the more reason you deserve huge kudos for doing the voodoo that you do so well.

Oh, for Tim Fish it would probably be Old Spice.
Thanks for the "tribute." It's always hard to write in someone else's style, and comedy is just damned hard anyway. Which is why I only occasionally get it right.
Good luck with your blog, Bob. It's a strange world.

I have to take exception to the haircuts, Ron. I've been researching this very subject for my M.W. and it is obvious that men in the wine biz over age 50 do not go to a Barbour. Their wives do the deed (and in the case of Mittites, second-person plural present active imperative wives take turns).
Of course, this does not apply to all men over 50, only the ones with hair.

The Winnipeg Jets have officially hit the halfway point. Twenty four games deep and the boys are very much still in the playoff race. Holding a 12-11-1 record the Jets are currently sitting in 9th in the Eastern Conference, a single point back of the Rangers for 8th, and two points behind the division leading Carolina Hurricanes. It hasn't always been pretty, but the team has set themselves up for an end of the year push that could potentially see them make the playoffs.
This article will review each of the major positions (forwards, defensemen, and goaltending) as to their performance and roles thus far this season, as well as cover some major points on the team, and give a look forward to the second half of the year.
So far this year, as is with much of the team, it's fair to say that the Jets forwards have been consistently inconsistent. According to leftwinglock.com, the only line that the Jets have iced together more than 10% of the time, has been the Ladd-Little-Wheeler line at 16.55%. (For comparison sake, Chicago's top three lines are rolled out at a frequencies of 18.9%, 18.03% and 16.42%)
Why is this occurring?
The Jets have been an extremely streaky team as no two lines have seemed to really be clicking at the same time, and it is the coaches job to fix that problem. Mixing up lines is the only method Claude Noel can use to shake things up and attempt to motivate for better play. That is of course, until the team can draft and grow its depth. Players like Nik Antropov, Bryan Little, and formerly Alexi Ponikarovsky currently have no true threat to their place in the lineup without sacrificing wins. All that Noel can do is attempt to move guys around and put them with others that might be able to get them going. It will take time for players such as Mark Scheifele to develop into constant NHL caliber players and until then, Claude has to work with what he's got.
That being said, there have been some forwards who I think have been standouts.
Evander Kane has played with everyone from Jokinen to Burmistrov to James Wright, yet has still been a force almost every night. He has been rewarded for his efforts, playing an average of 20:01 minutes/game which leads the forwards in that category. He has also contributed 18 points this year, which is good enough for 3rd on the team. He sits third on the team with his relative corsi rating, and has a PDO of 989 meaning he is bound to start getting a bit more puck luck as the season progresses so look for his goal and point production to continue rising as we move forward.
Kyle Wellwood has been an interesting case. He has found himself watching a load of games from the press box this year, yet I honestly do not see why. He may not have the greatest personal stats (3 points: 1 goal & 2 assists) but he provides many intangibles that provide great value to the team. Our friends at Arctic Ice Hockey's (in this case arby_18) provided a great breakdown of what exactly it is Kyle Wellwood brings, looking at factors such as his corsi numbers and his offensive zone starts/finishes in comparison to the rest of the team. Be sure to check it out here.
Andrew Ladd has been the type of captain this team really needs. He has been one of the few members of this team who has brought his best every night, he pushes the play down into the other end of the rink (As seen by his OZS [51.0%] and OZF [56.2%] numbers), and currently leads the team in points (24), goals (13), and assists (11). It's scary to think of what this team would look like without him, and I am always proud to rep his jersey whenever I watch games.
The Jets defensemen have been quite the story to follow. Within the same week this year I managed to write 2 separate pieces on the Jets defensive situation. The first of which explained the plethora of defensemen and trade options that they had created due to the emergence of Zach Redmond, and the next breaking down how the heck they were going to cover for the lack of blue line depth. The back end is where the injury bug has bitten this team the hardest, but surprisingly enough the team has been able to remain relatively solid defensively. They currently sit 12th in the league with only 28.6 shots against per game and manage to keep the majority of shots from a decent distance, as they rank 16th in the league with an average distance of 34.2ft. That's not to say there haven't been some interesting moments, as I still feel Ron Hainsey is not a top four defenseman and the Clitsome – Byfuglien paring has been scary to watch at times, but they have been able to hold down the fort for the most part.
Where the production has really gone down is in the offensive side of things. As silly as it may sound to some, the Jets normally rely heavily on points from the point, and the departure of Enstrom has really hampered that. TSN Jets mentioned an interesting stat on this during the Panthers-Jets game on Friday night explaining how in the first 8 games, the D-men produced 31 points (mainly on the back on Enstrom), but since, have only contributed a mere 22. This has had a direct impact on the power play, and is probably something that will be difficult to improve with both Redmond and Enstrom out for what will continue to be extended periods of time.
Then there were the goalies. It has been a struggle for Ondrej Pavelec thus far between the pipes, although to his credit he has been better over the last five games. It seems as if the book has officially been released on him, as night after night you see teams going non-stop for his glove hand. In fact, Tuesday night in Florida he was beaten cleanly 3 times in a row in that exact spot. He is sporting a very mediocre .901 SV%, a scary 2.87 GAA, and leads the league in goaltending losses at 11, despite the mid-ranked defense play that is going on in front of him. The real kicker to it all is the 5-year $19.5 million contract he signed this offseason. That contract sees him getting paid more than current SV% and GAA leader Craig Anderson, and a comparable number to goalies such as Cory Schneider, Jaroslav Halak, and Corey Crawford.
It simply appears to me that Pavelec is a master at getting people to forget his bad games. Take the last two match ups against Florida for example. On Tuesday night, he let in a couple stinkers, wasn't great, and twitter was a buzz ready to kick him out of town. Friday night on the other hand, Ondrej put the team on his back and was the reason that the team managed a win in overtime. He manages to make highlight reel saves at least once a week, and last year was deemed by TSN1290 as the creator of "Pavlectricity" for the team when they needed a big moment. The truth of the matter is that Pav has never really put up great numbers (his career SV% is .906 & GAA is 2.98) and his contract is one that the Jets may still seriously be regretting.
Short term should things not improve, I am confident in giving Al Montoya more of the workload this year. He holds a 3-0-0 record, has a shut out, and has a better save percentage (.909%) and goals against average (2.33) than Pavelec. He sports similar career numbers (.906% SV% & 2.73 GAA) to Pav, and has been a career back up between Phoenix and Long Island (which is bound to bring down your save%). It may not work, but it would be nice to see what the Jets really have in Montoya if things aren't looking great anyways.
It's a major story to track going into the remainder of the season and the trade deadline. The Jets do have both of their buyout options available going into the offseason, and although the franchise may not be in the financial position to throw away that kind of money, it may end up being the smartest move for long term success. Especially when you consider that Jonathan Bernier will very likely be available when free agency hits this summer.
Struggling Special Teams
The Jets have been absolutely horrific on the special teams for the majority of the season. They have spent most of the year in the league basement in both penalty killing and power plays, and have just recently started to kill penalties more effectively. I won't get too deep into this though, as later this weekend there will be a feature here on JetsNation.ca covering these areas specifically.
The Jets… A Road Team? & Looking Ahead
Believe it or not, the Jets are much improved on the road this season. In fact, they have the 4th best road record in the Eastern Conference at 8-5-1. If you were to tell Jets fans at the start of the season that this was going to be the case, you can be sure that none of them would have thought the team wouldn't be sitting in a playoff spot. Yet, as surprising as the Jets road record is, their home record is equally unexpected. They are an Eastern Conference worst 4-6-0 at home this year. Now in their defense, that stat is slightly tainted as they have played the fewest games at home. Regardless, it appears as if the intimidation factor of the MTS Center has gone away. Teams have come prepared to play against the excited, emotional, and loud crowds Winnipeg brings every night and it has, on more than one occasion, left the Jets looking unprepared and lacking effort.
Looking at the Jets schedule, the team plays 14 of the next 24 at home and have only one 3 game road trip left ahead. Normally, that would be music to fans ears, but this year that may actually be problematic. You often hear from teams how extended road trips can help them get over the negativity surrounding a struggling team, so should the team continue their problems at home, that relief may not be possible. The Jets next 6 games are all against opponents who are currently sitting ahead of them in the standings, so the next 7-10 days the Jets could either vault themselves up the standings, or come tumbling down.
Recently our own Brett Martin pointed out in an article titled "Lucky, Lucky Jets" that the Jets have an opportunity to benefit from the misfortunes of the other teams in the Southeastern conference. Division leading Carolina recently lost Cam Ward for what will be the majority of the season, Florida is missing about half of their line up, Tampa has been struggling immensely over the last few weeks (3-7 in their last 10), and Washington has dug themselves in a hole that may be too deep to get out of. Should the Jets play at their best and manage to avoid too many more vital injuries, they could really start to climb and claim the Southeast division of their own. (Imagine trying to explain that one to your kids in a few years)
There is most definitely some room for improvement should the Jets want to accomplish such a goal. The trade deadline is just under a month away, and at this point it is truly hard to read how the Jets will approach it. Should things go south, they do have pieces they could "sell" in Ron Hainsey, Nik Antropov, and Olli Jokinen. Should things improve and the Jets rise in the standings, those same players could be moved to address goaltending issues or add some scoring stability and support. It is in such a situation that the impact of injuries to Redmond and Enstrom really show their effect, as it truly limits what the Jets can give up if they want to acquire more valuable and productive pieces.
The Jets have been an interesting team to follow through the first 24 games of the season, and have left themselves right in the thick of this going into the home stretch. Here's hoping they can push through, and in 2 months from now I can check back in with a preview for their first round playoff match-up.

The question for the jury is " Did He act reasonable?"...looking at what I've seen I would say yes.......
Yes, but in the context of this 'survival analysis' for Lien...we must also answer this question:
In his 'acting reasonable' did he also act 'intentionally' in running over the biker in order to save himself and his family?
You can bet that Ms Allred will allege that Lien acted intentionally. [ remember, this has nothing to do with 'he had no choice...what else could he have done?"]
A binary example might help readers in understanding the ramifications:
You are in martial arts...and you come under attack by some punk...you, while acting in 'self defense' kick him causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground, resulting in his death or paralysis.
Was your kick an intentional defensive act on your part or not?
Then answer this question, given we are discussing serious civil exposure to Lien.
What are the potential serious implications of an 'intentional act' on the part of Lien, during this looming litigation that will require very expensive defense lawyers?
Don't feel bad if you don't get it. Not many do.

Foods Co
Recently, Foods Co was invited and has agreed to participate in grocery industry discussions to set standards for wages, benefits and working conditions.
This employer has already demonstrated that it bargains in good faith with the employees and the organizations that represent them.
Wages up to:
How do we rate employers?
When YourBreadAndButter.com looks at an overall rating for an employer we look at eight main areas concerning how they treat their employees and in turn their customers.
Wages - How does this employers wages compare to similar types of stores that participate in industry discussions which determine standards in the grocery industry.
Grievance or arbitration - Is there job protection language that employees can use to reverse and remove wrongful discipline without fear of retaliation?
Benefits - How does this employers medical, dental, vision, prescription and overall health care compare to similar types of stores that participate in industry discussions which determine standards in the grocery industry.
Customer Service - How is the customer service? Are there sufficient employees working to take care of the customers?
Retirement - Does the employer contribute to the employees retirement in the form of a federally regulated and insured pension plan? Does the employer provide and contribute to any retirement plan?
Food Quality - How is the quality of the prepared food in the Bakery, Deli, Meat, Produce and other service departments?
Votes on wage & benefits - Do employees get to vote on what types of wages, benefits, retirement and working conditions there are in the workplace?
Health & Safety - Does this employer have a good health and safety record for shoppers and customers and how fairly do they treat work-related injuries?

SCARPA employee Artley Goodhart took a week off and headed to Yosemite to finally try the climb he's been dreaming about for years: El Capitan's Freerider. But what happens when you don't achieve your goal?
Recently I attempted a project on El Capitan in Yosemite that I've been eyeing for years. After training for six months, I was ready to give Freerider (5.12d, 35 pitches) a go. But a day before we left, we saw that Mother Nature had other plans. We made some adjustments to the game plan, but our one-week window was already a little tight.

|The programme does not contain active announcements
The YGGDRASIL mobility programme promotes the internationalisation of Norwegian research by offering grants to international Ph.D. students and younger researchers in all subject areas in connection with research stays in Norway. The programme seeks to encourage the establishment of new networks and the strengthening of existing ones, while at the same time making Norway an attractive destination for researchers at an early stage in their careers.
The programme provides grants for research stays for Ph.D. students and younger researchers who are affiliated with a higher education and/or research institution in the following countries (regardless of citizenship):
European countries: All countries, including all Council of Europe member states, except for the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden).
Non-European countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico and South Africa.
The programme is currently undergoing an evaluation, and no calls are planned with deadline in 2013. Any new calls will be published on our website.
Norwegian research institutions (universities, university colleges, independent research institutes or other institutions at which research constitutes an important activity).
The grant application must be submitted by the Norwegian research institution, not the grant candidate from abroad
The programme has an annual budget of approximately NOK 10 million.

Thanks to the lovely Sheri over at The Educated Genealogist for the nomination. [UPDATED - also to the lovely Greta at Greta's Genealogy Blog *blush*]
Disclaimer: official rules state disclosure of 10 things you have learned about your ancestors that has surprised, humbled, or enlightened you, plus ten other blogger nominations. Ten seems an AWFUL lot, and it's Friday evening and I've already opened a cider, so here's three things I've experienced from this week's research in the (virtual) London Metropolitan Archives, and a virtual cider for everyone who reads this blog - thanks for being part of my online genealogical journey.
AAAAAA! - I discovered new (shortlived) baby siblings for my grandmother and great-grandmother. Don't you love those genealogical discovery moments when you go "aaaaa!" just a bit too loud and scare the cat? Hilda Alice WHITE (1903) and Edwin Leslie HALL (1904), welcome to the family!
OOOOOOH - "Blown Up" or "Kill'd by Explosion of Powder" is not something you want to read on a burial record. I'm glad to live in a time when the chance of being blown up by the local gunpowder mill is fairly minimal.
HMMMMMM - I found a probable baptism for my Charles AUGER which claims his parents were George and Lucy Auger - except Lucy was unmarried according to subsequent census records. Frankly I'm more inclined to believe Lucy managed to get away with telling fibs when baptising Charles.

Take a look at this video. In it, Olivier Loubiere, Corporate Business Ethics Advisor of French nuclear conglomerate AREVA (it mines uranium, designs and builds reactors, and attempts – badly - to deal with nuclear waste), tells us how the company is to 'self-regulate' and adopt 'a set of voluntary best practices'.
The nuclear industry is said to be one of the most tightly regulated industries in the world. The problem is, when you see what the nuclear industry gets up to under the supposedly watchful eye of its government watchdogs – leaks, accidents, cover-ups, and attempts to influence public opinion by subterfuge – one wonders what it might do under so-called self-regulation.
The problem is this: what the nuclear industry gets up to in the public eye is bad enough. What it does away from the public gaze can be even worse.
Has AREVA's Corporate Business Ethics Advisor visited Niger where villages are contaminated by the nearby uranium mines operated by his company? Despite the country supplying France with around 30% of the uranium needed to run French reactors, Niger is stuck at the bottom of the United Nation's Human Development Index which measures worldwide levels of life expectancy, literacy, education and standards of living. AREVA has been operating in Niger for 40 years - are we seeing ethics or exploitation here?
Talking of exploitation, has Mr Loubiere visited Olkiluoto in Finland where AREVA is building a new nuclear reactor and the migrant workers there are being paid slave wages? Is that 'best practice'? He has been AREVA's Corporate Business Ethics Advisor for quite a few years. So where was he in 2009 when the company attempted to block the screening of a documentary in France that detailed the contamination and lack of security at the country's exhausted uranium mines? Is that ethical? Don't the French people have a right to know?
Will self-regulation address these issues? We very much doubt it. There is little enough proper official regulation as it is and that has failed to prevent the scandals mentioned above. So why expect the nuclear industry to clean up its own messes voluntarily? What's needed instead is far tighter and more accountable official nuclear regulation without the kinds of conflicts of interest we see at the International Atomic Energy Agency.
In the video above, Mr Loubiere talks of an 'ethical approach'. We're struggling to see the ethics in AREVA's approach to nuclear power. With the nuclear industry only talk is cheap. Everything else is hugely expensive and it's the people, not AREVA, who end up paying the bill. We'll judge Olivier Loubiere and AREVA by their deeds not their words.
Justin McKeating has been blogging the meltdown of the nuclear industry for Greenpeace International since 2008. He is based in Brighton, UK.

What is the problem with the IAEA, the IAEA do not serve the interests of the "nuclear industry" they exist to serve the needs of all the members nations of the UN.
For example if a radiation accident occurs in a country which does not have a nuclear industry then they can get expert advice from the IAEA. Also if a country which does not have a nuclear indsutry needs radioactive sources for cancer treatment then the IAEA can help them get this lifesaving equipment.
I think it was unreasonable in the other blog entry for the greenpeace person to complain that the suits had IAEA on the back with paint or felt tip pen. I worry about people who put style over substance, it is only a small matter if the letters IAEA are not perfectly printed onto the suit.

The IAEA promotes the peaceful murdering atom.
This is how it works:
quote by Dr. Rosalia Bertell, November 1999 issue of The Ecologist, pp. 408-411:
The main way in which the "radiation protection industry" has succeeded in hugely underrating the ill-health caused by nuclear power is by insisting on a group of extremely restrictive definitions as to what qualifies as a radiation-caused illness statistic. For example, under IAEA's criteria:
Why IAEA says: 32 Chernobyl deaths and ignores 1000,000 Chernobyl deaths:
> If a radiation-caused cancer is not fatal, it is not counted in the IAEA's figures
> If a cancer is initiated by another carcenogen, but accelerated or promoted by exposure to radiation, it is not counted.
> If an auto-immune disease or any non-cancer is caused by radiation, it is not counted.
> Radiation-damaged embryos or foetuses which result in miscarriage or stillbirth do not count
> A congenitally blind, deaf or malformed child whose illnesses are are radiation-related are not included in the figures because this is not genetic damage, but rather is teratogenic, and will not be passed on later to the child's offspring.
> Causing the genetic predisposition to breast cancer or heart disease does not count since it is not a "serious genetic disease" in the Mendelian sense.
> Even if radiation causes a fatal cancer or serious genetic disease in a live born infant, it is discounted if the estimated radiation dose is below 100 mSv [mSv= millisievert, a measurement of radiation exposure. One hundred millsievert is the equivalent in radiation of about 100 X-Rays].
> Even if radiation causes a lung cancer, it does not count if the person smokes — in fact whenever there is a possibility of another cause, radiation cannot be blamed.
> If all else fails, it is possible to claim that radiation below some designated dose does not cause cancer, and then average over the whole body the radiation dose which has actually been received by one part of the body or even organ, as for instance when radio-iodine concentrates in the thyroid. This arbitrary dilution of the dose will ensure that the 100 mSv cut-off point is nowhere near reached. It is a technique used to dismiss the sickness of Gulf War veterans who inhaled small particles of ceramic uranium which stayed in their lungs for more than two years, and in their bodies for more than eight years, irradiating and damaging cells in a particular part of the body.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is failing in its duty to protect the victims of radioactive contamination.Since 226th April 2007, the collective IndependentWHO has maintened the vigil outside the WHO building in Geneva.
The constitution of the World Health Organisation (WHO),
states the following principles:
"Healthy development of the child is of basic importance ..."
"Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people ..."
In Chapter 1, Article 1 - Objectives of WHO, it states :
"The objective of the World Health Organization shall be the attainment by all peoples
of the highest possible level of health".
But on 28th May 1959,
,WHO signed Agreement WHA 12-40 with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
which prevents WHO taking any initiative or action to achieve its objectives:the preservation and the improvement of health.
An analysis of the action taken by WHO in response to radioactive contamination,
from the start of the nuclear age up to the present day shows this quite clearly
The IAEA advises atomic states, it is the PR agency for the atomic miliatry and industry, reports to the security council and has the five VETO powers of the U.N. as members. They want to blame the radiation victims, because of their fear of radiation – called RADIOPHOBIA by the IAEA: Japan officials are going to call radiation measurements illegal and that they are disturbing the industry. Health plays no role. They are adapting the IAEA ideology of Radiophobia: The fear of radiation is worse than the radiation. And the declining birth rates among belarusians under the age of 30 – declared by the IAEA with "Radiophobia"
By IPPNW students: "What's worse, the IAEA is going public these days with statements ridiculing the so called "radiophobia" of the population and calling for an end of aid programs, which, according to the IAEA report of 2005, only serve to instil a victim mentality in a totally healthy population – a claim not only cynical, but potentially dangerous for the health of the affected population."
I want to see the IAEA before the ICC. The International Criminal Court. For mass murderer, with weapons of mass destruction and it's invisible war – you can not touch, feel, hear, smell, see.
Teratological effects and mutations through radiation – ignored by IAEA, OECD, ICRP, UNSCEAR, SCIENCE – proven by Étienne Wolff in the 1930ies.
1927 Herman J Mueller discovered in 1927 (!) the following: ARTIFICIAL TRANSMUTATION OF THE GENE by radiation – he got the The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1946 for this.
Discovered by Abraham Petkau, 1970: The low electric charge of the cell membranes attract the free radicals in the early state of the reaction (minor total dose) - and cause immune system decrease - results: Anemia, leukemia, dying of pneumonia, influence - IGNORED BY IAEA, WHO, ICRP, BEIR, UNSCEAR.
All recommendations for radiation emssion out of atomic power plants are based on a healthy mature 34 / 35 year old human.
This is called REFERENCE MAN
But what happens if you do not take a mature human as a default for limit values.
What if you choose a HUMAN EMBRYO
The answer is ZERO. This is called REFERENCE EMBRYO.
"Presently the international organizations (WHO, IAEA) recognize as the main cause of increase of thyroid cancer in liquidators and children population after the accident their irradiation with radioactive iodine, I-131. The rest of diseases, they suppose, are provoked by psycho-emotional reactions.." (!!!…RADIOPHOBIA…!!!) There is no linear dose effect correlation, but "The bimodal dependence of effects on dose was revealed for all studied parameters. Namely, effects increased at low doses, reached maximum (for low doses), then decreased (in some cases the effect sign reversed) and thereafter increased with the increase of dosage": http://www.rri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/NSRG/reports/kr21/kr21pdf/Burlakova.pdf
The international radiation protection bodies such as ICRP, UNSCEAR and BEIR base their findings on the somatic damage (cancer, leukemia risks) mainly on studies of the victims of the nuclear tests of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, wo still lived in 1950. That's right, not 1945, 1950! This study is called "T65D." It was begun in 1950. The five years before that has not been studied. It was observed since 1950. About 800,000 Japanese people harmed by radiation, and the analysation of their causes of death.
What has been done can not be undone, even if ALL reactors are shut dow: Increased mutation rates (insects, small mammals, humans, mutation means: cancer after generations, diseases, disabilities), less chance of healthy newborns, , increased impotence and infertility, leukemia. The species has been changed, the damage in the DNA, for eternity. Even if the half-lifes are gone in some distant future. Then you can safely shut down the nuclear power plants and sell it as a victory of reason.. After a certain predetermined plan of course. The atomic philosophy of eugenics: You can shut down the reactors. But not the half-lives. Not the modification of your DNA. Not the pre-programmed mutations and the principle of autosomal recessive modes of inheritance. Alltogether, your children will become sick or not viable. We are the culprits, perpetrators, but we created based on energy, like radio-iodine, which quickly disappears. A dose-response relationship which is not linear, is rejected by our science. We created it, the murdering peaceful atom. Powered by the United Nations. Radiation protection recommendations and commissions are our strategy for socially acceptable, slow, clean mass murder.
IAEA quote: "Lessons will be learned."
We must take this IAEA statement seriously. It is a confirmed declaration of war against all life on this planet. They threaten time and space, since the damage in the DNA - caused by low radiaiton - will be there for eternity. We should believe them. The IAEA is part of the most powerful war industry ever. They change evolution. Radiation had and has impact on evolution. Man made radiation are the daily emissions from atomic reactors. They make the children of our children more mortal. Future generations will not know why they don't get old. Cancer is the accepted "natural" cause of death in the future. Also the heart attacks among children (like in Belaru). The allergies already are part of our normality. We are in a process of change in our life and death. Produced to an acceptable residual population.
I wish good health to everyone,
with kind regards,

Anna Johansson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 36 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
My name is Anna Johansson and I am 33 years old. I live in Lund in the south of Sweden. I'm about to start a small business that will work with improving photos for people who don't know how to do it by them selves.
This is for pretty much everyone who likes to takes photos but don't know how to fix them in Photoshop.
This is also for those who are a little bit older and were around before the age of the digital camera, who might have old and worn black and white photos that needs to be fixed.
I want the name of the web site fotofix.se in the logo. I prefer bright colors and I thought it might be a good idea to use one of the icons from photoshop in the logo, but that is of course not an requirement.
The site is not ready yet, but maybe you can get an idea by looking at http://www.fotofix.se/test.html. There are a few examples of before and after photos in a slideshow.
Another site that does the same as mine will is http://www.photofix.com.
It would be nice if it would be possible to add catch phrase next to the logo.

Larry Eitel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 75 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
I am a web developer currently working in python-django.
Anyone interested in a secure tool to manage contacts, notes, etc along with specialized search and research tools.
Looking for a distinct logo using the four letters xchg. I have a rough example of an attempt to make the X standout. The same "X" needs to be used as a basis for a favicon. I am leaning toward an orange-like color to be used elsewhere in the site.
So I need a Logo with letters "xchg", a favicon, and a letterhead-logo with main xchg logo with a tagline "Life's Details".
A friend had a nice idea that involved two lightning bolts crossing each other to form an X. This to illustrate lightening fast access to your life's details. Perhaps two lightning bolts with blue and orange. See San Diego Chargers for example of use of lightening bolt.
