The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired forwards Jonathan Audy-Marchessault and Dalton Smith [5] from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Dana Tyrell [6] and defenseman Matt Taormina [7] Wednesday, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Audy-Marchessault, 5-8, 184 pounds, has played in 56 games with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League this season, recording 14 goals and 41 points. He leads the Falcons in games played, points and power play goals with seven. He ranks second for goals. Audy-Marchessault has been selected as an AHL All-Star the past two seasons. He has played in two career NHL games with Columbus, both during the 2012-13 season.
A native of Cap-Rouge, Quebec, Audy-Marchessault played four seasons in the QMJHL with the Quebec Remparts from 2007-11 and was undrafted.
Smith, 6-2, 214 pounds, has played in 50 games with Springfield this season, recording four goals and nine points. He leads the Falcons with 99 penalty minutes and also led the them in 2012-13 with 128.
A native of Oshawa, Ontario, Smith played in 196 games with the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League from 2008-12, recording 50 goals and 105 points. He was drafted by Columbus in the second round, 34th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
BP Commentary:
This is a good trade for Syracuse's future, and potentially Tampa Bay's. Yzerman has spent his time as GM of the Lightning acquiring skill and competitiveness, and Audy-Marchessault brings the skill (plus smarts and an admirable compete-level) and Smith brings the competitiveness. Most of the drafted prospects in the system project higher than the fourth line, but with the exception of someone like Cedrick Paquette, who has the offensive ability to play on most lines and the grit to play on the fourth. Dalton Smith is a guy who could one day fill a fourth line role in Tampa Bay as a banger. He doesn't have much, if any, offense to offer, but he skates well enough to be a BJ Crombeen-type player (and hopefully someone who can win the majority of his NHL fights). Roster composition is important, and fourth line banger is an undervalued puzzle piece that can't be filled by just anyone.
This is a lost season for Syracuse. Taorimina was a valuable part of the Crunch this year - maybe more than people realize. Take him off the roster and the green defense is a disaster (understandable growing pains). He was an unrestricted free agent at season's end. Tyrell was a restricted free agent, and as the longest tenured member of the Lightning organization after the departure of Martin St. Louis [8] he was the product of a different regime. He was a candidate for Crunch captain next year if he was re-signed and Mike Angelidis [9] was not, but skilled offensive players are harder to find than high-character grinders.
There are three defensemen set to join the Crunch next year from the junior ranks: Slater Koekkoek [10], Dylan Blujus [11], and Jake Dotchin [12]. Expect a vet or two to be added to the back line, also. Henri Ikonen [13] and Joel Vermin [14] are scheduled to join the offense.
Next year's Crunch team will likely be led by Marchessault in scoring and Smith will keep the opposition honest. The Lightning wanted Marchessault as a free agent a couple years ago, so they finally got their man. He'll fill a role similar to what Cory Conacher [15] filled for Norfolk and Syracuse. He has second line NHL upside per Hockey Prospectus, but he'll have to climb a young depth chart and overcome size concerns to get there. He will help Tanner Richard [16], Paquette, Vermin, and Ikonen next year grow into their AHL scoring-line roles.
This was a good trade for the organization as a whole.

Christie Declares State Of Emergency [VIDEO]
Governor Christie has declared a state of emergency as Sandy gets closer to New Jersey.
"As we move towards what is an increasingly likelihood of seeing Sandy make landfall in New Jersey, I am urging all New Jerseyans to take every possible and reasonable precaution to ready themselves for the storm's potential impact," said Gov. Christie at the East Keansburg Fire Department.
The roads to the state's barrier islands will be closed Sunday afternoon at 4PM as will the casinos in Atlantic City. When asked, he said this does not include shoreline communities.
Once the storm gets going he urged people to stay off the roads although no roads are planned to be closed.
He also will not decide until Sunday after further briefings about closing down state government offices especially in Trenton. He joked that his daughter Bridget is pressuring him not to cancel trick-or-treating on Halloween again this year. He said no decision has been made but safety would be the overriding factor with any decision. He said local officials may decide as well.
The Governor urged residents to prepare and not assume the forecast is wrong, saying he's made the same assumption in the past. The problem with Sandy, said the Governor, is that it is a slow mover as opposed to Irene, which moved away quickly.
Christie also said residents should heed the advice of local officials "over their own judgement" during the storm. He said people need to think about what they're doing during the storm and suggested a general rule, "If it looks stupid, it is stupid."
He said that people will need to be patient with the restoration of power and praised the utilities for increasing response staff. However, he cautioned, his office will be watching to make sure there aren't unnecessary delays to getting power back to customers.
He noted that he has cancelled a scheduled Romney campaign appearance for Tuesday. When asked, Christie said he will spend Saturday night at his home in Mendham and would spend Sunday night at the Governor's residence in Princeton to be closer to the State Police OEM bunker in West Trenton.

[Illinois] Making the Mid-Infrared Nano with Designer Plasmonic Materials
Published on
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range (3-30µm) has become a burgeoning and dynamic field of research both for fundamental exploration as well as for more applied research in health and the environment, security and defense, communication, and sensing. At the same time, the areas of plasmonics and metamaterials have experienced explosive growth over the past decade, fueled in part by rapid developments in fabrication, characterization, computational science, and theory. Yet, the integration of plasmonic structures into mid-IR optical systems has been slower to evolve. While scaling metamaterial and plasmonic geometries to mid-IR wavelengths is actually fairly straightforward, replicating the near-IR and visible optical properties of constituent materials in plasmonic and metamaterial systems is less trivial, leading to very different behavior of scaled systems in these two wavelength ranges.
In this talk, I will discuss our group's recent work developing novel optoelectronic and plasmonic devices and structures for mid-IR applications. I will demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing traditional plasmonic metals in mid-IR structures, and use this discussion to motivate our recent work with highly doped semiconductors as designer mid-IR metals for plasmonic, metamaterial, and epsilon-near-zero applications. In particular, I will focus on the promise of these new plasmonic materials for nano-scale confinement of micron-scale wavelengths, and for potential applications in sensing and thermal emissivity control. Recent results demonstrating all-semiconductor perfect absorbers and nano-antennas for sensing and selective thermal emission will be presented.
Dan Wasserman is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. His research team focuses on plasmonic and metamaterial devices and structures, nanotechnology, and semiconductor-based material systems for the mid-IR wavelength range. Prof. Wasserman received his Sc.B. in 1998 from Brown University in Engineering/Physics (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with Honors). He received his PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University in 2004. At Princeton, Dr. Wasserman was a Francis Upton Fellow and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow. Dr. Wasserman's post-doc, as a Princeton University Council on Science and Technology Fellow, focused on quantum cascade laser physics in the Gmachl group at Princeton University. Dr. Wasserman is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award, an AFOSR Young Investigator Award, and the 2010 Excellence in Teaching Award from the UMass Lowell Physics Department. Source

Thirteen Years of Perfect Attendance Possible in Hudson
How much school did you miss?
One Hudson High School Student hasn't missed a day this year. In fact, she hasn't missed a day in 13 years!
Could she be eligible for the Guiness Book or World Records? Perhaps an East Texas record at the very least.
Loren Huffstetler hasn't taken a sick day over the last 13 years, and her mom told KTRE that she really encouraged it, and didn't miss a day of high school herself. Loren actually said things have come up that she's wanted to be part of, like senior skip day, but she just kept trucking along in class and hasn't missed. Only a few more weeks to go Loren!
The Guiness Book of World Records doesn't track perfect attendance records because they say it's a common occurence. Really, all the way from kindergarten to high school?
If you know of anyone in East Texas that has topped Loren's feat, please let us know. We doubt we can find anyone like her. Nice job Loren!

WINNIPEG - Come October, Winnipeg will become the wrestling capital of North America,
as the National Wrestling Alliance will converge on the River City for its
56th annual convention.
The convention, slated for October 15th-17th, will be held at the Ramada Malbourough
Hotel in downtown Winnipeg. The convention is a history-making event for NWA,
as it will be north of the 49th for the first time in the modern era. "This
marks the first time the event will be held outside of the United States since
the NWA made it's comeback," says convention organizer and CWF Owner Ernie
Todd's work putting together the convention has been phenomenal. Primarily
a solo effort, Todd's work has been all-encompassing. "Organizing an event
of this magnitude is very challenging. Arranging a venue, hotel discounts, the
AGM, the fan fare, sponsors, advertising. It is a major commitment on my part
to bring to my hometown & the CWF fans, some of the best independent talent
from around the world. Now organizing the shows will be an shows themselves
will be huge challenge, as some talent I have never seen."
Among the highlights of the convention will be some of the hottest wrestling
action from across the Alliance. At the top of the card will be a convention-long
tournament to crown a new NWA North American champion. The four-man tournament
will include two semi-final matches that will be held on the 15th, with the
final match on the 17th.
Other matches announced on nwa-wrestling.com are NWA National Champion Ricky
Murdoch going against Winnipeg's own Spyder for the title and New Jersey State
tag team champions One in a Million taking on TJ Bratt and former NWA Canadian
Champion Rob Stardom. Also slated for the convention are Texas Heavyweight Champion
Tejas and representatives from NWA-TNA, including Jerry Jarrett.
The convention, however, will not just be featuring North American grapplers.
At the top of the international portion of the show is a bout for the NWA British
Commonwealth Title between NWA UK's Drux Onyx and NWA Australia's Will Phoenix.
Also announced for the show will be a tag bout from NWA Ireland, featuring Paddy
"Suicide Machine" Morrow and Carl "Shooter" O'Rourke against
Fergal Devitt and Paul Tracey, while NWA-UK Hammerlock will have former Heavyweight
Champion "Vigilante" Johnny Moss battling Byron Black. As well, Zero
One referee Mr. Fred will be the head referee for the event.
Todd's goal for the convention is not only to put on a successful show for
the industry, but also to raise awareness and funds for a local charity. "I
am hoping that everyone who buys a ticket to this event will get their money's
worth," he says. "I also am hoping this will raise some awareness
for Aboriginal Diabetes, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the
National Aboriginal Diabetes Association."

October 28 is a very important day to me; it is the 23rd anniversary of my very first match.
It was a great day in the fall of 1989. My hair was a picture-perfect wrestler mullet length -- I would kill for that hair today. I had been attending wrestling training for three months. Well, actually, I was basically getting beat up for three straight months by many other wrestlers, all seeking out their dreams.
I trained at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, N.Y., a famous hardcore boxing gym. Beside all the men boxing each other, shadow boxing, hitting the speed bag, heavy bag or jumping rope, and not far from the spit buckets, splattered blood and sweat stains, in the corner of the gym was a wrestling ring, where I practiced my craft.
Most of the time, I was the only Caucasian person in there, and would often be pulled aside by the boxing trainers, and they would tell me to "forget that bull crap wrestling" and to start boxing. They were all looking for the next "Great White Hope" fighter, and my young Sylvester Stallone looks had them champing at the bit. In my mind, there would be no "Yo Adrian!" moment for me inside a boxing ring. I have, however, been blessed with countless amazing moments inside a wrestling ring.
I actually hated boxing for a few reasons. First, when our wrestling ring broke, we had to train in one of the boxing rings, and it would have been easier to fall on the concrete than inside a ring that contained a giant, metal post right in the middle of it.
Second, when guys didn't show up for wrestling training, we would have to get out the heavy bag, pick it up, bodyslam it, then run the ropes, jumping over it, then deliver a move to it. We would also hit the ropes and my trainer, WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz, would throw the bag at us as we ran off the ropes, forcing us to catch it and let it fall on top of us. You don't know pain until someone throws a giant heavy bag at you, mid-run, and it hits you in the face, midsection, and your little "Dreamers" all at once. If that isn't enough, you also have to then quickly fall with it on top of you, which would result in getting hit all three places a wonderful second time. So, needless to say, the boxing world and Tommy Dreamer never became synonymous with one another.
Gleason's sits next to the famous Brooklyn Bridge, where a lot of TV and movie shots of the Manhattan skyline have been filmed. You look down the street and can't help but get caught in the hopes and dreams of making it in the big city.
Me, I just wanted to wrestle in Madison Square Garden (a goal accomplished many times). Gleason's also had an arena located directly under the bridge (sadly, it is now a parking garage). However, in its day, it held many pro wrestling and boxing events. With my family being from Brooklyn, I had, probably, 55 tickets sold for my first event. My mom, dad, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, girlfriends -- anyone who was special to me -- came out to support me that night.
I drove to the area by myself, getting there early so I could shake my nerves and apprehension. I can remember all I wanted to do was throw up. I was preparing myself to tell my trainer what my wrestling name would be -- Tommy Acid. I was going to paint my face in honour of The Great Muta, a Japanese wrestling legend who was on fire in the United States at the time. Muta was the first wrestler performing moonsaults and delivering running hand spring elbows to his opponents in the turnbuckles.
I wanted my entrance music to be a techno song called "This is Acid." And, just like The Great Muta, I would spit green acid in my opponents' faces, rendering them blind, until I hit my soon-to-be famous hand spring elbow combo. I was all set and nothing could stop me. Though, in hindsight, having acid in my mouth would have burned a hole in my jaw and throat, but this is pro wrestling right? Anything is believable, right? I knew we would have hours to prepare for the match. I figured I would tell my opponent what I wanted to do, he would have no problem doing it. It all seemed so straightforward as I drove in my car, listening to my future theme music.
I arrived so early, in fact, that nobody else was even there. I sat outside until a custodial worker let me in. I waited by the ring. Eventually, I saw some of the other wrestlers coming in. Nobody got into the ring. We all went upstairs and sat in a crowded locker room. Before I knew it, it was now only two hours until bell time and my opponent still hadn't arrived. The butterflies in my stomach were having a battle royal of their own. Next thing I know, it was an hour before match time. The nerves had gotten the better of me, and it was time to puke again. With 30 minutes until show time, Johnny told me that my opponent wasn't going to make it, and that I was now to face Diesel Don. Diesel Don was billed at 500 pounds, and wrestled as Curly Man Moe, doing a Three Stooges gimmick. He was probably five-foot-10 and 400 pounds, truth be told. I had seen him do a drop kick, and hit someone with a kick to the back of the head (an Enzaguri, also known as The Ghetto Blaster from Canada's Bad News Brown/Allen fame).
I looked over at him, in the corner of the room, and I turned to my trainer said "Him?!" in the highest-pitched voice ever. I reminded him that he promised I would wrestle The Shadow (we had trained together before many times). Johnny replied, "Well, Ralphie isn't going to make it and now you've got Don."
To tell you how clueless I was back then, I called my opponent Shadow and didn't know his real name was Ralphie. And I had no idea why my trainer was calling Curly Man Moe "Don," when all I knew him as was "Curly" or "Man" or "Moe!" I had no idea what the hell was going on. The only thing I was sure of was that I didn't want to wrestle this big, fat guy with whom I had never trained. Where the heck my original opponent was, only the Shadow knew, and I knew it was time to puke again.
Johnny then said, "What's the name and gimmick you want to do?" At least this much I knew for sure, and nothing was going to change. I handed him my cassette tape, told him that I am from Yonkers, New York, I am painting my face, and my name is Tommy Acid. My gimmick, I told him, is that I spit acid in guys' faces, then I win. Johnny took my tape, and said, "Your family is from Brooklyn, so you're from Brooklyn, New York. You're too good looking and clean-cut for that face paint crap and the gimmick is stupid. No acid. Your name is Tommy Laughlin. You don't need a gimmick."
I took one last shot.
I told Johnny that it was my dream to be a wrestler and that my favourite wrestler was "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Could I please have something flashy, I begged. I also said I didn't want my family's name out there. So how about Tommy Dreamer, I asked.
He said "Who cares? If you like it, then it fits. Tommy The Dreamer. There you go. Listen to Don, and good luck tonight." He then walked away.
"WHAT?" I thought to myself. "No way, that name sucks!"
I was scared of my opponent, had no idea if I was winning, or what the hell was going on. Forget about, "Where's the Shadow." All I wanted to know was "where's the toilet" because my stomach couldn't take any more. Through all of that, I knew I had to make sure I did one thing and that was I had to tell my mom not to worry. Just then, I saw her walk in, beaming with pride. I quickly grabbed her and told her The Shadow wasn't there, and I was wrestling Diesel Don, or Curly Man Moe, or whatever his name was, but not to worry. I gave her a kiss and that was it. Saying it, and reading it back now, that is probably the craziest conversation a son can ever have with his mom.
I went to Don and he asked, "What can you do?" I said "I can do anything you want." (I couldn't.) "I can do a running hand spring elbow like The Great Muta."
He said, "OK, see you out there."
That was it?
See you out there?
This is how we do it?
I had been practicing with the damned Shadow for two weeks. I was a bundle of nerves, with all of my friends and family watching and I didn't have a clue what I was doing.
As the show began, I watched all of the matches. I was supposed to be first, but now I was fifth. I watched Kid Krush, a Hawaiian guy, who painted his face, and who later became Taz -- the Human Suplex Machine, wrestle Big Sweet William, a 300-pound blond-haired good guy in fluorescent pink who would later become Hugh Morris (a.k.a. Bill DeMott). I saw Mondo Kleen, Johnny's star pupil, sit in the office with Johnny as he was preparing for his main-event match against Johnny. He later became Damian Demento and wrestled in the first main event on Monday Night Raw versus The Undertaker.
Then, I watched Curly Man Moe go to the ring. Next, I heard my music, but it wasn't "This is Acid." However, the crowd erupted when the ring announcer said my name, "Tommy The Dreamer." (I may have padded the joint in my favour.)
Once I got out there, I wasn't nervous in front of the people. The match was a blur, but all I remember was Curly Man Moe saying, at one point, "Do the Muta thing." As I ran at him, I had no gas in the tank, and hit him with the lamest clothesline in the corner, then turned to the fans and said "C'mon!" and they responded in cheers. He slammed me and said, "Don't move." I watched an eclipse happen right on top of me as he delivered an elbow drop that prompted my family to cringe and both my girlfriend's and mother's eyes welled up with tears. As I laid there, thinking not to move, the ref counted 1, 2 ... Moe pulled me up by the back of my head (early stages of my flowing mullet turning into my bald spot) then I heard him tell me to move. As he went for elbow again, I moved, and he told me to cover him. The referee counted 1-2-3! I was alive! It was my first "Yo Adrian -- I did it!" moment!
I was a hero, and it was the greatest feeling ever. Actually, I won my next bout in December and was undefeated in 1990. Take that Goldberg and Ryback. (I only had about eight matches in 1990, but undefeated is undefeated.)
Nowadays, I don't get nervous, but I do get emotional. I am still so happy to be doing something that have I loved for as long as I have. Many of my loved ones have passed away, but I feel they are still cheering and have the best seats in the house (skybox luxury seats) to watch me when I wrestle. I have set out on my path and accomplished my dreams. We all have a dream, and we all have a beginning. Tommy The Dreamer was born on October 28, 1989, and I am blessed to have performed and to continue to perform in front of you.

RAID (redundant array of independent (or inexpensive) disks) is a method of organizing, storing and copying computer data on to two or more hard drives. Data is categorized by importance and function and then stored accordingly, allowing your computer to perform much more efficiently as the hard drive is less cluttered with data. By arranging data in this way, the efficiency of the computer's hard drive is optimized and its performance is greatly enhanced. While RAID takes up a certain amount of storage it is incredibly valuable to business or corporate servers that are relied on by multiple computers at once. RAID is not meant to be used as a sole back-up system for your data, it is primarily meant to increase your computer's performance which is why it's popular for servers that connect with multiple computers. RAID is available in several different levels and RAID levels 5, 6 and 10 are considered the most suitable options for business or corporate servers.
RAID 10 combines the principles of RAID 1, which uses mirroring, and RAID 0 as a way of increasing computer speed and productivity. This RAID system is the best option for enterprises that use processor-heavy applications like large databases and messaging or collaborative server programs. RAID 10 is able to handle multiple hard drive crashes and is most often corrupted by physical damage such as overheating or water damage necessitating repair and data recovery. Recovering a RAID 10 server, however, is far from easy.
Hard Drive Recovery Group is the best option in RAID 10 data recovery as their technicians are highly trained, experienced and able to recover your data within 24 hours. While many corporations house Information Technology professionals, they are often able to perform simple RAID array rebuilds, before data (more…)

St. Catharines L2S 3A1
Ancient Mediterranean society was crisscrossed by multiple boundaries and borders. Firm boundaries between male and female, slave and free, gods and mortals (to name just a few) defined social identities and relationships, even as these lines were regularly crossed in religious ritual, social practices and artistic imagination. In current scholarship, Feminism is now Feminisms, encouraging multiple, and even transgressive, approaches to the study of women, gender, and sexuality in the ancient world. But has Feminism itself become a boundary, dividing fields of study or generations of scholars? Or is it a threshold, encouraging crossings between literary, historical and archaeological evidence? What new approaches are scholars using to push the boundaries of the evidence and the limits of our knowledge of the ancient world?
This conference will focus on boundaries, liminality, and transgression. What kinds of crossings did ancient people experience and what control did they have over such crossings? How did borders and border crossings differ in relation to gender, ethnicity, age, or legal status? If the masculine and feminine were clearly demarcated categories of being, how do we interpret homosexual, transvestite and gender-labile aspects of the ancient world? What points of contrast and connection exist between different types of gendered space (literal or metaphorical) and do they change when geographic or national boundaries are crossed?
We invite submissions for abstracts of papers and workshops that explore these and related themes, and encourage proposals from a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives. Abstracts of 300 words should be submitted electronically to the conference website: www.brocku.ca/conferences/feminism-classics-vi. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is June 30, 2011.
For inquiries, please contact email@example.com.
The Department of Classics at Brock University is pleased to host Feminism and Classics VI. Brock University is the only Canadian University to be located in a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve. It is within an hour's drive of Toronto, Ontario and Buffalo, NY, and thus easily accessible and close to major attractions, shopping and airports.

Today is the second last day of October and I see that I have only blogged twice. So what have I done that has been keeping me away from blogging? Paid work, work, work! I have not had time to look at my TNG website which I had hoped to have live by now. (Perhaps a job for the Christmas break!)
However, I have been able to grab some time to scan documents - something that I really needed to do. I kept putting it off because I wasn't happy with my electronic filing system. Originally I had my files prefixed with the ID number from Reunion for each individual. However, earlier this year I decided to combine some of my Reunion files. I had one family file for my husband but three for my side. I have now combined my three and have spent many hours merging the identical people. I'm now happy with this part of my research. Of course, after merging the files the ID numbers changed so my filing system was useless.
I asked Geniaus earlier in the year to describe her filing system. I also purchased an ebook titled Sassy Jane's Guide to Organizing your Genealogical Research Using Archival Principles by Nancy Loe. After reading the rational for her method I have decided to go with that for my documents. I'm still undecided and thinking about photos.
For today I'll talk only about the specific sources of information. The image below shows how I file this data. I have two identical folders for myself and my husband.
If I have several items that pertain to a specific family they have a surname folder in the above folders. Each individual document is saved by SURNAMEChristianName with appropriate ending including an abbreviation for the newspaper (if this is the source) and the date. This does mean that all the documents about an individual can be spread over several folders. However, using Spotlight on my Mac means I can find them all very quickly and in Lion get a preview of the document without opening it. This means I can see what birth certificates I have very quickly. I can see what obituaries I need to find.
Now that I am satisfied with my system, I have begun to scan. I am nowhere near complete, but I have made significant progress and have refound many items of interest which I will share on this blog. You know, the items that have been placed in a box, ready to file!
Can anyone see anything I have overlooked in my system. Or is anything not readily obvious? While writing this I realise I need to have an authority control document for consistency particularly for my newspaper abbreviations which are clear to me but not to others.
Now off to breakfast to celebrate my husband's birthday. He's wearing his new R.M. Williams boots!

What have I been doing in October?

I am using Nancy Loe's "Sassy Jane e-book" too. I knew it would be good because I've seen the great advice she gives in her blog.ReplyDelete
Work is such a pain when it gets in the way of fun but at least your work is fun too.ReplyDelete
Congrats on the filing system. I can't see anything missing but the beauty of this system is that it it DYNAMIC - easy to change along the way.

With the Green Bay Packers trailing the Bears by one game, thanks to that bad call in Seattle way back in Week Three, and reeling from a blowout loss last Sunday to the Giants, the Pack jumped back into first place, thanks to a win over the Vikings coupled with an overtime loss by the Bears.
The Packers took down Minnesota, 23-14, erasing a four-point deficit and overcoming a 210-yard rushing performance from Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
Fueling the Green Bay win was a subpar performance from Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, who completed 12 of 25 passes for 119 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions that killed second-half scoring drives.
A sustained fourth-quarter field goal drive ensured that the Vikings wouldn't be running Peterson down the stretch, since the Packers went up two scores without much time left.
On his 29th birthday, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 286 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

The bill, as proposed and passed by the New York State legislature, would have required a similar bill to pass the New Jersey state legislature and be signed by Governor Chris Christie to take effect because it also included Newark Airport.
Rather than delay the study – known as a Part 150 study - Cuomo vetoed the bill and directed the Port Authority to conduct the study on the two New York State airports, as well as meet regularly with residents and elected officials whose districts are impacted by airplane noise.
"I recognize that aircraft noise has been a concern for residents of Queens County and Nassau County," wrote Cuomo in his veto message. "Therefore, rather than wait for New Jersey to enact companion legislation that would require Part 150 studies at all Port Authority airports, I am vetoing this bill but directing the Port Authority to conduct noise studies that meet the requirements of Part 150 for LaGuardia and JFK airports."
Cuomo also directed the Port Authority "to establish a community roundtable for airport noise and related issues in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration and other stakeholders."
The Port Authority agreed to conduct the noise studies and community meetings, but there is not timetable for either.
"At Governor Cuomo's direction, the Port Authority will conduct noise studies at John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports that meet the requirements of federal aviation Part 150 regulations and also create community roundtable meetings on airport noise and related issues in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration and other stakeholders," a spokesperson said in a statement.
Proponents of the bill hope the study will provide hard data on the impacts of plane noise in neighborhoods in Queens - especially northeast Queens - where residents have been complaining about a stark increase in noise since the Federal Aviation Administration approved a new departure pattern out of LaGuardia Airport.
"We are confident that this study will prove that despite assurances to the contrary, the FAA's recently implemented flight patterns do have a significant impact on our communities," said Assemblyman Ed Braunstein, who represents Bayside.
The move was also hailed by grassroots groups who have been raising concern over airplane noise as the FAA moves to implement new procedures – known as NextGen – that uses GPS technology to allow planes to land and takeoff at shorter intervals, However, it also means that some planes fly closer to the ground over residential neighborhoods.
"This is a spectacular outcome and shows what can be done when all communities work together and with elected officials that truly care about their constituents," said Len Schaier, founder of Quiet Skies, a group formed to educate residents of Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island about airport issues.

From Amandla Stenberg to Chloe Grace Moretz: 10 Actresses to Watch In 2013
The New Year will ring in a fresh crop of young, up-and-coming actresses. We can't wait to see what these gals have in store!
-Diana Denza
Though Hollywood is never short on would-be leading ladies, only a few of them ever make the cut. These 10 talented starlets, though? Let's just say that we're pretty sure they'll soon be household names—that is, if they aren't already! Complete with kickass resumes and unbeatable drive, these gals have definitely got it going on.
1. Bella Thorne
You may remember this now-15-year-old for her role as an aspiring dancer on the 2010 Disney Channel series Shake It Up. With close to 2 million fans on Facebook and a lead role in Buttermilk Sky (which is slated for a November 2013 release), Bella Thorne's star is shining bright.
Read The Many Hairstyles of Brad Pitt (Or, Happy 49th Birthday, Brad!)
2. Amandla Stenberg
Who could forget Amandla Stenberg's heartbreaking performance as the wide-eyed, ill-fated Rue in 2012's blockbuster film, The Hunger Games? Equally as impressive, she handled the flood of racist tweets against her with grace. The 14-year-old released a statement thanking her fans for their support, leaving her attackers to drown in the venom of their bigotry. We're anxiously awaiting Stenberg's next move –and we expect it'll be a good one!

Dorm Report: So, what's in a (nick)name?
Philadelphia, PA – The CFL (that's Canadian Football League to you and me) generally doesn't get much press down here in the United States, but over the weekend it managed to wake up more than a few fans north of the border.
An eight-team league at the moment, the CFL is expanding to a ninth club for the 2014 campaign, granting a franchise to Ottawa for a third time, following the demise of the Rough Riders (1876-1996) and the Renegades (2002-05). The two previous monikers sounded sturdy and tough, befitting a physical sport, but this time around the new name has fallen flat.
With great fanfare, in front of Ottawa's CFL alumni, league dignitaries and over 3,000 fans, the team finally let the cat out of the bag and announced the new nickname: the REDBLACKS.
Huh, what? Come again ...
The REDBLACKS.
And while the press release stresses the name in all caps in every instance, that might just be a way to deflect attention away from just how silly it sounds.
It is supposed to be a salute to the history of sport in the region, recognizing the predominant colors of past and current Ottawa teams. It claims to be unique (oh, yeah) and even edgy (not nearly) and was met with an avalanche of criticism from social media almost immediately.
Sounds like a 5-year-old headed up a marketing firm and just babbled the first thing that came to mind. Why not call them the dirty shoes, or maybe the helmet-wearers? Hey, "Predominantly French Guys in Spandex" hasn't been taken, either, how about that one?
One person noted that Toronto may not have been happy about the name Blue Jays back in the day, but at least that mascot/logo/icon is tangible and real. Trust me, a name like REDBLACKS would never fly down here because it sounds as though it is insulting two minority groups at the same time. Just try and slip that one by Roger Goodell or David Stern.
It got me thinking about the countless nicknames we deal with in these parts, ranging from established, professional sports clubs to the hundreds of colleges and universities that dot the landscape from coast to coast.
You can have your Wildcats and Bulldogs, Tigers and Eagles, I'm drawn more to the obscure, less celebrated and, more often than not, not quite successful teams in college sport. You'll find me wearing my Idaho Vandals hat or Western Carolina Catamounts baseball T-shirt before I'd put on a Louisville Cardinals jersey. I love the image on my Northern Arizona University baseball cap, it draws quite a number of inquiries, but I still consider the school not all that far off the beaten path.
Living in the smallest state in the union prevents me from having hometown bragging rights to a major league sports franchise, but what I do have is the Wilmington Blue Rocks, a minor league baseball affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The name has historical significance to the region and has a cool ring to it, but it's still not as catchy as the Albuquerque Isotopes or the Las Vegas 51s.
Side note: I picked up a foul ball at a 51s game in Sin City a few years back. I say picked up because I was the only person in my section and I figured I had nothing else better to do than get up and retrieve it.
But, back to the dorm rooms ...
At the Division I level, there are close to 350 colleges and universities, but there are only a handful of truly unique mascots/nicknames that are great to pull out in random conversation to show just how far off the radar you can reach. Crimson Tide is unusual for sure, but with Bear Bryant and national championships being the calling card there, it is even too familiar with us northerners.
Moving down alphabetically, Arkansas schools have some cool names, from Razorbacks to Trojans, Golden Lions to Red Wolves, but still a bit too mainstream. Down at the bottom you have the Youngstown State Penguins, but is the Buckeye State even climatically conducive for the a group of aquatic, flightless birds who call Antarctica home? Sometimes the names just don't make sense on the surface.
If you want to reach further into the abyss of wild and crazy nicknames, start trolling Division II and III institutions of higher learning.
Checking in with the state of Arkansas once again, Arkansas Tech boasts the Wonder Boys, a title that first appeared as a proper noun when the school's football team defeated Henderson State University (13-0) in November 1920. Known as the Wonder Girls and the Wonderettes then, female athletes are now known as the Golden Suns at Tech. Go figure.
I could spend almost all of my time talking about The Natural State, thanks to Arkansas-Monticello, which fields the Boll Weevils as well, but what fun would that be?
Let's see, there's the Brevard Tornados in North Carolina (not exactly in the heart of Tornado Alley) and the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans (not home to pointy-eared Star Trek devotees).
Central State in Ohio has a menacing Marauders program, so does University of Mary in North Dakota and Millersville in the Keystone State, each of which could surely give the Fighting Scots of Edinboro (Pa.), Monmouth (Ill.) and Wooster (Ohio) a run for their money. But would any of them stand a chance against the Muleriders of Southern Arkansas or the Savage Storm of Southeastern Oklahoma State?
Simon Fraser in British Columbia could scare off more than a few opponents with its Clan, the same is probably not true for the Washburn Ichabods for which the logo is a fella in a top hat toting his books. The Texas A&M- Kingsville Javelinas sound like a cross between a sharpened, elongated weapon and a delicate dancer, but in truth the name comes from an animal that is quite possibly a mythological hybrid of pig and hippopotamus.
I wouldn't mind being known as a Battling Bishop, from either North Carolina Wesleyan or Ohio Wesleyan, but I think I will pass on being considered a Continental from Hamilton College (N.Y.) because I would probably have to have my clothes dry-cleaned, neatly pressed, and smoke a stylish cigarette more often than not.
There are herds of animals, from Bears, Beavers, Bison and Bobcats to Cougars, Falcons, Grizzlies and Lynx, with plenty of outlying family members. Don't forget the many hard working men and women who have battled to bring their mascots to the masses, from Vikings, Spartans, Buccaneers and Colonels to Cobbers, Pioneers, Quakers and Lords.
Odd, unusual, strange ... so many of those nicknames are, but two others stand out above the rest.
St. Louis College of Pharmacy, founded in 1864, is the oldest college of pharmacy west of the Mississippi River and the mascot is known as the Eutectic. Yeah, go ahead and Google it (I had to). While you're busy trying to figure out a way to mock this NAIA's sports programs with a clever slogan or chant, you'll have to know how to pronounce the word in the first place (yoo- tek-tik) and by then these brainiacs will be having their way with you.
FYI, eutectic is described as: Of, relating to, or formed at the lowest possible temperature of solidification for any mixture of specified constituents.
See Ottawa, it could be worse. All right, maybe not so much.

Found this article that maps the Seahawks moves over the past 3 seasons and how the writer thinks the Raiders can use this model to turn around their fortunes. Must really hurt to have to look at what an old-AFC rival is doing to see what the Raiders need to do.

(Reuters) - Shane Victorino belted a seventh-inning grand slam to put the Boston Red Sox into the World Series with a 5-2 victory over the visiting Detroit Tigers that clinched the American League Championship on Saturday.
Victorino's blast turned a 2-1 deficit into a three-run lead and sent the Fenway faithful into a frenzy as the Hawaiian thumped his chest and roared in delight while rounding the bases.
The Red Sox, who won the best-of-seven series 4-2, will meet National League champions St. Louis for Major League Baseball's championship starting on Wednesday in Boston.
The showdown will be a rematch of the 2004 Fall Classic, won by Boston in a four-game sweep that ended their 86-year championship drought.
Red Sox closer Koji Uehara was named Most Valuable Player of the series after registering one win and three saves in Boston's turnaround triumph. The Red Sox had finished last in the AL East in 2012 with a 69-93 record.
"From day one in spring training there was something special about this team," said Victorino, one of several players brought in to change the team chemistry.
"Guys came here in one mindset. I know the last couple of years have been tough here. But you know, we put that all behind us. Boston strong."
A tense pitching duel between Boston's Clay Buchholz and Detroit's Max Scherzer turned into a see-saw struggle as the Red Sox scored in the fifth to take a 1-0 lead, only for the Tigers to take it right back in the sixth, moving 2-1 ahead.
The seventh belonged to Boston as Victorino, who had been a dismal 2-for-23 at the plate in the series, connected off reliever Jose Veras's third successive curve ball for the game-winning hit over the fence in left.
It was the second grand slam for Boston in the series following an eighth-inning roundtripper by David Ortiz in Game Two that erased a 5-1 deficit and helped the Red Sox win 6-5.
Uehara, who pitched seven scoreless innings in relief and struck out 11 in the series, registered the final out with a strikeout of Jose Iglesias and jumped into the arms of catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia as the celebrations began in Boston.
The Tigers were left to wonder 'what if?', as they squandered an opportunity to score more runs in the sixth and opened the door to Boston's winning rally in the seventh.
After Victor Martinez drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single off the 'Green Monster' wall in left, Detroit still had men on first and third with none out but suffered a baserunning blunder by Prince Fielder.
Boston reliever Brandon Workman replaced Franklin Morales and got Jhonny Peralta to bounce to second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
Pedroia tagged Martinez out, and with Fielder caught in no-man's land between home and third, fired home in time for catcher Saltalamacchia to chase Fielder back toward third and tag him out.
In the seventh, Boston's Jonny Gomes led off with a laser drive off the top of the Green Monster that went for a double. Scherzer then walked Xander Bogaerts to put men on first and second, and was removed from the game.
Jacoby Ellsbury then hit a grounder up the middle that shortstop Iglesias reached but bobbled for an error that loaded the bases and set the stage for Victorino.
"We made a couple of mistakes and they capitalized on them," said Tigers' rightfielder Torii Hunter, a 17-year veteran who has still to reach his first World Series.
"Victorino got the big hit, the grand slam, and we couldn't do anything about it. They played well."

Masturbation is a harmful habit.I don't agree with the psychologists and doctors who say it is fine.For the purposes of development of a human being, it is not wise.It uses up the precious sexual fluid, especially with men.
It also wastes your time and energy, and it is distracting.It keeps the mind focused on the lower energy centers, rather than where your attention belongs - on the upper energy centers.To learn about these centers, please read The Energy Centers on this site.
This article suggests a number of ways to stop the habit.That is all it is – a habit.
Bible view. The following link gives a very detailed and interesting view of masturbation from a Jewish perspective.
http://www.jewishsexuality.com/what-is-so-bad-about-masturbating .
Here is a reference for a Christian view: http://bibleresources.org/masturbation/
Definitions of masturbation. 1. Sexual self-gratification, usually to orgasm.
2.(Psychological definition).Any activity that tickles the mind or body and gives a little pleasure, but is really a waste of time and accomplishes nothing.
I often receive emails from young men and women who have a masturbation habit.Here is a typical one:
Dear Dr. Wilson,
I had a severe addiction with pornography and masturbation between the years of 18 and 26.I ejaculated about 60 times a month during these years.It felt good for a while, but then I developed the following symptoms:
-severe premature ejaculation all of a sudden
-severely sexually exhausted and drained
-feeling tired, sleepy, and dopey all the time
-seminal leaking during bowel movement and after urination
-severe lower back pain
-severe bloating/tension pain in my abdomen after orgasm and lasting days/weeks
-frequent urination
-waking up during the night to urinate
-severe prostatitis
I became very alarmed and concerned, and finally realized that I had destroyed my body over the years.

On the other hand, masturbation does have some well-documented health benefits:It makes you happy – literally
Women have unlike most men, different ways to orgasm. There is the G-spot (a sensitive wall on the anterior wall of the vagina), the clitoris (which contains 8000 nerve-endings compared to 4000 for the penis), and even anal stimulation (which might not be for everyone).
The thing is that when a woman masturbates and reaches her climax, a host of feel-good chemicals are released.
As Dr Lauren Streicher, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Northwestern University
Report Amanda 28DEhjn7Z
, in the Huffington Post, "We know that pleasure makes people feel good. It's really that simple. Orgasms release the endorphins dopamine and oxytocin, which can improve your mood and create a natural high. Who needs drugs when you can make your own?"
Another delightful side-effect of masturbation for women is the fact that it helps get some shut-eye. Masturbating helps you sleep the same way exercise makes you feel better.
The reasons for this is the release of what pop-culture calls the 'cuddle hormone' aka oxytocin. Masturbation or sex boosts one's oxytocin levels and lowers cortisol (a stress-hormone).
Dr Rachel Needle, co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes
Carmen 90 Denim Bow Detail Block Heel Sandals j816fATpT
CNN: "For women, oestrogen levels increase after sex, which can enhance a woman's REM cycle for a deeper sleep. In men, the hormone prolactin is secreted after orgasm and has been tied to sleepiness."
Another important thing about masturbation is the fact that it makes women comfortable with their body, which is particularly important in a society hell-bent on dissecting the way women look and heaps on tonnes of issues pertaining to insecurity and body image. These insecurities can carry over when a woman has sex leading to an awkard time.
On the other hand, masturbation can lead to increased self-confidence and makes one comfortable with their own body as they find their way around all the bases.
Dr Marget Redelman OAM, a doctor and a medical sex therapist
RAYE Sal Suede Sandal 04mPelJyIu
for TheHealthsite.com, "Sexologists advise masturbation as a learning step for women who have not yet learned to have orgasms. Solo masturbation gives the privacy, security and unlimited time in an unpressured space which allows a woman to learn about her very special individual sexual arousal and orgasm response pattern."

This month's HASA How-to takes a closer look at stories at HASA.
How do I...
... find something to read?
In this How-to you will learn a bit more about the various kinds of stories at HASA and how to find a story if you're looking for something specific (a character, a time period, a location etc.).
How to find all stories
There are three kinds of stories at HASA: General and Reviewed status stories are available to all site visitors, and you have to be logged in to read Beta status stories.
Reviewed: These are the stories that have been evaluated by the reviewers' pool and have been judged as excellent stories by the majority of the reviewers.
General: This is a catch-all category. If a story is not Beta and it is not Reviewed, but the author wants it available for others to read, it will be in General.
Beta: These are works in progress by HASA members that the author doesn't yet want the general public to read. Remember: you can only see these when you are logged in, although Beta stories that are entered in Challenges or linked in Playlists can also be read by the general public.
How to find a specific story
There are a number of ways to locate stories on HASA:
Story Sort Bar: The most popular way is to use the story sort bar at the top of every HASA page. Create a custom search by selecting an author, era, genre, character and/or status. The stories are sorted by most recently updated.
Recommended: You can look up stories that have been recommended by HASA members over the years. This is useful if you are looking for a particular kind of story, for instance a gap-filler that deals with family dynamics, or a story that combines humor and economics as a topic.
Keyword Search: Most story pages have a Keyword search form in the side navigation column. This form searches the titles and summaries of stories, but not the story text. Here are some tips for an effective keyword search:
- Each line may contain one or more search words.
- Do not use commas - use spaces to separate terms.
- Separate lines are used as an OR search.
- Words in the same line are used as an AND search.
- Partial words will also be searched; for example, "owyn" will find both "Eowyn" and "Éowyn."
- If you are unsure about spelling, use only part of the word.
How to save a search
Often, you want to read a set of stories that have similar characteristics, such as all having a particular character, all by the same author, all poetry or romances, etc. You also want to know when there is something new or updated with that kind of story. If you bookmark a single story or author, or create a playlist, you can track existing stories, but you may not know when they have been updated. You won't know about new stories. What do you do?
You create a saved search.
- Set up a sort filter using the drop down menus in the story sort bar.
- Click Go.
- On the search result page, you will see a form "Save Search to Your Library".
- Type a unique name into text box.
- Click "Save".
- The page refreshes and your search is added to the Saved Searches list.
To get to your saved search:
- Click on the "Stories" button in the top navigation menu.
- When you get to the Stories home page, look in the navigation sidebar for "My Library".
- In My Library, click on ;the link that says "Saved Searches".
- Your searches appear in alphabetical order in the sidebar menu, ordered alphabetically and stamped with a date when it was created.
- Click a search name to rerun the search.
Have fun reading and exploring!
If there is any topic you'd like to see in the how-to, please let us know!

Get Vista and Windows 7 Chess Titans Game on Windows XP (All) For Free!
Well, one of some Vista and Windows 7 games (both of them still share similar games with only additional online games on 7) which was still not be able to be ported back to Windows XP is Chess Titans (originally created by Oberon for Microsoft) for "some technical reasons". Yes anyway so far you can still get other ported Vista (or Seven) games on XP though e.g. here: http://jonnyw1989.wordpress.com/2007/01/31/windows-vista-games-for-xp-update/ (or just google it for more options btw).
But hey thankfully there are always some great people who are still working hard to port such features back to XP for its loyal users for free. So finally as a result here is a working version of Chess Titans for Windows XP that you can download, install, and play the game on XP for free, as you can see the above screenshot (proof), yea obviously without need to have Vista or Windows 7 at all!
Please note running the game requires .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed first as the main prerequisite, which you can download from Microsoft for free here, only if you don't already have it installed: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en
The good news is you can also play the game not only on Windows XP (and equivalently Windows Server 2003), but even also Vista and Windows 7 especially Basic Editions (non-Ultimate/Premium) as well, which have no Chess Titans game too just like XP. At least you'd also need to have a computer with a capable DirectX 9 graphic card for playing Chess Titans though as recommended for best result, but don't worry, as already tested personally by me even it would also run well on a non-high end machine without any significant problem. Finally please enjoy the game and share it for free.
~ Download Chess Titans for Windows XP (All) for free here:
(Please feel free to reupload and/or redistribute it for free by yourself if you want etc, thanks).
...Btw to get Vista or Seven Mahjong Titans on Windows XP please visit here:
Finally please enjoy for free, and long live XP!
