All of us must eat and drink, and do so daily to obtain the energy and nutrients we need for growth and health, and to enjoy the social and cultural experiences we strongly associate with food. The study of nutrition and food provides a solid academic education and practical training for a variety of career opportunities. These fields also encompass some of the most critically important – and hotly debated – issues affecting modern society, among them world hunger and problems related to safety, bioengineering, and globalization of food. Through positions in health care, business, government service, private practice, the food and food service industries, and educational and community programs, nutrition and food professionals help individuals and the public make better informed choices about food and nutritional health.
Students in the undergraduate program may specialize in one of two closely related areas of concentration:
Or may choose to combine either of these areas of concentration with Global Public Health:
The two concentrations in Food Studies and Nutrition and Dietetics and the combined majors in Global Public Health share many liberal arts and core courses in common. This means that students can enroll in one of the areas, and take courses in each of them. Students are encouraged to take courses across all of the areas during their entire undergraduate career.
Half of all total credits are taken in NYU's College of Arts and Sciences, and our program gives all students a strong liberal education along with specialization in food or nutrition or global public health.

The Vespa 'S' College was a special model produced by PIAGGIO as a limited edition model. Its charmingly youthful styling proved especially appealing to a select few Vespa fans. Regrettably this beautiful little scooter is no longer produced in this version but, in order to preserve this particular type of styling, we decided to make the suitable parts available to all our customers wishing to convert their own 'S' model Vespas.
This conversion should not represent a problem to practised Vespa mechanics as the original panels and covers are simply replaced by their College style counterparts. Starting from the steering assembly cover, the glove box, floorboards and side panels all the way through to the number plate surround and lighting, we have the complete set available and in stock. In the case of the seating assembly you are faced with the choice between the sporting aspect of the single seat, or on a more practical note, the dual bench type item. Last but not least the cherry on the cake is provided by the colour matched decorative self-adhesive decals sets and your scooter could easily be mistaken for the exclusive College model!
Before you start restyling be careful to consider the overall paint colour of the Vespa frame. Its originally white colouring was combined with either sky blue or postbox red body parts.
SIP-TIP : To prevent possible accident damage to your new body parts please consider the purchase of suitable side panel bar protectors.(Part No.: PI656107)

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018
Pure adrenaline
Those who want to travel far and fast don't need a lot. Just the best. So we built the KTM 1090 ADVENTURE to be light on its feet, yet fully equipped and easier to ride than ever. Multi-mode traction control and ABS come as standard and the engine is built using the same state-of-the art technology as the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE models. Even though this V-twin is a little smaller, it still delivers 125hp (92kW). And it's available as a KTM ADVENTURE L that is limited to 70kW, which can also be further reduced to 35kW to fulfill A2 licence requirements. The featherweight chassis and well-balanced suspension team up with prize-winning Metzeler Tourance Next tyres to take you wherever you dare, whenever you want. All fun, no bulk - this bike is made to load up on adrenaline instead.

Inside an unsuspecting building off Union Square, Cee Lo Green's mic stand can be found, awaiting his return.
The building, which now houses Primary Wave Music Publishing and Brand Synergy Group, used to be a chandelier factory. For the past three years, it's served as the space for the two companies—which are partners in name only—to recruit clients such as Cee Lo, Big Boy, and Rihanna.
Click here to jump right to the pictures >>
Primary Wave signs the musical talent, while Brand Synergy creates and aligns partnerships with the talent and brands, like one between Cee Lo and Duracell (Cee Lo was recently appointed Chief Creative Officer of Primary Wave). So, in essence, when clients come to this space on East 16th Street, it's a one-stop-shop for recording and building brand partnerships.
"We're not just slapping a name on a brand," said Laura Striese, vice president of Brand Synergy Group said. "We're finding ways to creatively integrate brands. Someone like Lo (Green) is in on all the meetings, every step of the way when we create partnerships."
The layout and decor of the office is the brainchild of Primary Wave CFO Ramon Villa. The team subscribes to the view that an open workspace fosters creativity. The beauty of no doors and offices means there's no need to set up meeting times, and things get done quicker.
"When you walk into the space, I think you can tell we're all inspired by music," Striese said.
Music can be heard playing throughout the office, and sometimes clients even try out new music in the main space.
"When you walk in here, there's a pulse," said Jeff Straughn, founder and CEO of Brand Synergy Group. "It comes across in our work environment that we have a competitive energy that other record companies don't have."

Boston's longest-serving mayor, Thomas Menino, will formally announce that he won't be seeking re-election for a sixth term.The popular Democratic mayor planned an announcement for 4 p.m. Thursday at Faneuil Hall.
Boston's longest-serving mayor, Thomas Menino, will formally announce that he won't be seeking re-election for a sixth term.
The popular Democratic mayor planned an announcement for 4 p.m. Thursday at Faneuil Hall.
A person with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed Menino's decision not to see re-election in November to The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The 70-year-old was re-elected to a fifth four-year term in 2009. He has recently faced a series of health problems but has remained popular with voters.
Menino was hospitalized for eight weeks in the fall after a respiratory infection and a blood clot that was complicated by a spinal fracture and diabetes.
His decision not to run for office again is expected to trigger a political scramble to replace him as a new generation of political figures eye the mayor's office.
City Councilor John Connolly announced his mayoral intentions last month, regardless of Menino's decision. But Menino had been considered a heavy favorite had he opted to run.
As recently as January, Menino delivered an upbeat assessment of the city during his annual state of the city address.
Menino used a cane to walk to the podium and spoke vigorously about his plans for Boston. At the time, Menino gave no indication of whether he'd decided to seek a sixth term this year.
"Our progress is real. Our future is bright. The state of our city is striking, sound and strong," he said in prepared remarks that cited progress on economic development and crime reduction.
On Tuesday, Menino appeared at a rally at Boston City Hall plaza to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The previous day, he delivered a speech to the Boston Municipal Research Bureau in which he said he had never been more confident about the city and announced several new development projects and initiatives.
Menino became acting mayor after his predecessor, Raymond Flynn, left office in 1993 after being named ambassador to the Vatican. Menino, then president of the City Council, was automatically elevated to the mayor's job.
The circumstances prompted some critics to label him the "accidental mayor," a charge the sometimes-thin-skinned Menino was quick to reject. But he was elected mayor in his own right in November 1993 and won re-election by wide margins in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009.
The city's previous longest serving mayor, the late Kevin White, was in office for four terms, from 1968 to 1984.
Menino's longevity also exceeded the legendary Mayor James Michael Curley, who also served four terms, but not consecutively.
Menino built his reputation by focusing on the unglamorous nuts and bolts of running a major metropolitan city — fixing potholes, cleaning streets, even curbing the practice of saving a shoveled-out parking space by putting folding chairs or trash cans along the curb.
It's everyday commitments like those that earned him the nickname of the "Urban Mechanic."
The 2004 Democratic National Convention put Menino's political and negotiating skills to the test when the city's main police union threatened to picket over an unresolved contract.
It was only with the last minute help of other politicians, including Republican Gov. Mitt Romney, that a contract was reached in the early morning hours the day before the convention opened in the city.
During his years in office, Menino also became a vigorous national voice in favor of stricter gun control measures.
He co-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and criticized the National Rifle Association's call for more armed guards at schools after the Connecticut school shooting in December.
"That is crazy," Menino said. "Every victim of gun violence and their families knows that's crazy."
Menino also built a reputation for creating an impressive political machine that handily defeated challengers.
Last year, Menino also played a crucial role in helping elect U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, campaigning with her at stops across the city.
Associated Press writer Bob Salsberg contributed to this report.

What Teachers Say and Do to Support Students' Autonomy During a Learning Activity
Johnmarshall Reeve, Hyungshim Jang
Feb 2006
Journal of Educational Psychology v. 98, n. 1, p. 209
This research paper presents the results of an educational experiment to measure the effects of different instructional behaviors. The experiment investigated a controlling style of teaching compared to an autonomy supportive style, and found that the supportive style resulted in increased student interest, enjoyment, engagement and performance. Autonomy-supportive teacher behavior can be effective in fostering intrinsic motivation in students. The paper provides useful background information on the topics of motivation, intentionality and autonomy, and also gives examples of controlling vs. supportive teacher behaviors.

Welcome to Texas on the Potomac's "The Week Ahead," a preview of events to come on Capitol Hill and at the White House this week.
This week's report was written by William K. Moore of ViaNovo.
The U.S. Supreme Court ends its term this week, with decisions due on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law and Arizona's immigration statute requiring police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons. Across First Street, lawmakers will scramble to act on highway, student loan and flood insurance legislation before departing for the Independence Day recess.
Most observers anticipate the ruling on the Affordable Care Act could come in three flavors: the court could uphold the law, rule in the individual mandate unconstitutional but the rest of the law valid, or invalidate the law completely. Any outcome would have profound impact on Americans, the healthcare industry, the courts and future social change. The Arizona decision, which experts suggest is likely to uphold the law's most controversial aspects, could provoke renewed action in state legislatures to enact statutory copycats.
This week, the Senate will first act on flood insurance, after which members hope to have deals on lowered student loan interest rates and the surface transportation authorization. The House will debate two appropriations bills while awaiting action on the balance of the week's agenda.
Bipartisan action last week in the Senate on a Food and Drug authorization, the farm bill and building momentum for bipartisan agreement on the highway proposal gives hope the Congress may yet produce concrete accomplishments this summer. At the end of the week, the Supreme Court will adjourn until the first Tuesday in October. Lawmakers will return to Capitol Hill July 9.
The other item on the schedule, a bitterly partisan House contempt resolution against Attorney General Eric Holder relating to the anti-gunrunning operation Fast and Furious will probably darken any improvements in Congress' standing that may be realized from bipartisan achievements.
The presidential race remains in equilibrium, with President Obama having a slight advantage for reelection.

Where can I shoot?
Generally anywhere outside of city limits, on public land is ok including the west desert, B.L.M., State and County lands and Forest Service areas.
You must be more than 200 yards from the items listed in the law below and not on or over a roadway.
Currently shooters often use the area south of Fairfield and west of Redwood road south of Saratoga. Shooters also use a area near mile marker 21 on SR 68 (clay pits), although parts of the pits are now closed and posted due to heavy equipment in the area and excess trash left by shooters. There are several roads leaving SR 68 (Redwood) heading west from mile marker 20, 17 and 4, leading to Allen's Ranch Road, Broad Canyon, Chimney Rock Road and the Elberta Slant Road, all of which have some good areas for shooting with suitable hills for a back stop.
Additionally the Utah County Sheriff's Office, Thistle Gun Range in Spanish Fork Canyon will be open again on Friday nights (5-9) and Saturdays (9-5) this summer, starting June through October.
13-3-3. Discharge of weapons
(a) A person may not, without written permission
from the owner or other person in charge, discharge a
firearm across, into, or within 600 feet of:
(1) a house or dwelling, or
(2) any structure where an animal is kept or fed
including a barn, poultry yard, corral, feeding pen, or
stockyard, or
(3) orchard, standing cornfield, standing silo,
vehicle, or farm equipment.
(b) (1) Hunting of any wildlife, or the discharging of
any firearm is prohibited within the boundaries of all
state parks except those designated by the Division of
Parks and Recreation (R651-603-5 Utah
Administrative Code).
(2) Hunting with, or the discharging of, a rifle,
handgun, or a muzzle-loader in, or within one mile of
all state park facilities designated "open"—including
buildings, camp or picnic sites, overlooks, golf courses,
boat ramps, and developed beaches—is prohibited.
(3) Hunting with, or the discharging of, shotguns
and archery tackle is prohibited within one quarter of
a mile of the above stated park areas.
(c) Nothing herein shall prohibit the possession and
use of firearms at an approved Shooting Range during
the appropriate hours of operation.
Medical Care in Jail
My child/spouse/family member is not getting their proper medication. Why won't the jail give them their medication?
When someone comes into the jail, they are given the opportunity to tell the medical staff about their medications, their doctors, and the pharmacies that they use. The medical staff then verifies these medications through the information given and the jail doctor orders those medications that are felt to be appropriate and necessary while in the jail. The final decision is left with the jail physician. An inmate has ample opportunities to ask to speak with the doctor or medical staff about their medication concerns.
Why can't the medical staff tell me how my child/spouse/family member is doing? I just want to know that they are okay.
Because of federal privacy laws, jail policy is such that the medical staff are not allowed to discuss the medical care, treatment plans, medications, or any other private information of any inmate. The medical staff are happy to take any pertinent information that you may have that will assist them in providing the appropriate level of care for the inmate, but they cannot discuss the inmate's condition.
How can I deposit money on an active inmate's books?
There are several ways in which you can deposit money onto an inmate's books:
How can I deposit money onto an inactive inmate's books to pay off any debt?
There are three options:
Can I purhase commissary for an active inmate?
The website http://www.jailatm.com allows you to log in and purchase hygiene, stationery and/or a phone card for an active inmate. It helps to know the inmate's booking number, however the website does have a search option if you do not know that information.
If an inmate owes a debt, you can make a payment to the account but cannot order commissary until the debt is paid.

Actor Patrick Duffy has called on TV bosses to reunite him with his former onscreen wife Suzanne Somers for a "Step By Step" special.
The 64-year-old star is pushing for a reboot of the 1990s family sitcom, in which he and Somers played single parents who spontaneously marry and end up with a large, blended family.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I would love to work with Suzanne again. The 'Step By Step' cast was so wonderful to be with. They were my family and I think a little two-hour special about where these people are – not a documentary, but actually doing a show – seeing where they all come to (sic) over the years. It would be so fun to play that goofy Frank Lambert character again, ageing another 25 years."
Duffy recently revived his most famous character Bobby Ewing for a "Dallas" reboot, and admits he has also become nostalgic for his short-lived 1977 sci-fi series, "Man From Atlantis."
He adds, "Going back to 'Man From Atlantis,' it would be interesting to play that character 40 years later. … Not trying to be a superhero, but to be a sage voice of that kind of sci-fi thing. … I would be the Obi-Wan of the 'Man From Atlantis' at that point. That would be fun."

The Project
Last May California announced plans to close one quarter of their 278 parks, a devastating move that is intended to save the state a mere $22 million per year. The closure list includes thousands of acres of park land, recreation areas, wildlife reserves, and 50% of the state's historic parks. By July 2012 Californians will be bereft of 70 magnificent natural parks. The media has done little to disclose the ongoing closures or emphasize their impact.
Not wanting to miss the chance to see these places before they were gone forever, we decided to make our way across California in a converted airport shuttle bus, shooting as many parks and people as possible. Individuals we met along the way were concerned about the closing of their local parks, but no one had a collective firsthand experience of the overall picture. As we connected dots on a map, a pattern emerged. No one knew exactly what the conditions of closure would be, nor could they see how the state would ultimately benefit.
The First 70 is a short film about Californians banding together to enact change and develop solutions in the face of a glaring bureaucratic oversight. Volunteers have been forced to lend even more of their time and effort to support the already grossly underfunded state park system. Independent organizations and nonprofits have become obligated to step up to the challenge of keeping parks open, supporting them financially while working within the state's guidelines.
Why We Need Your Support
We've chosen our target amount not because it will make up for the amount we've put into this project (it won't), but because we think it is realistically raisable and will help cover a portion of the costs. Unlike many other projects on Kickstarter, we are not dividing the funding into sections like preproduction, production, post production, sound design, color correction, distribution, etc. We're asking for your help funding all of these things in one lump sum because the parks are closing in July, and this movie needs to get out fast. There are still a few parks to visit and interviews to shoot, and we are beginning to feel the monetary burn as we push through this last portion.
We've taken on this film as a labor of love and have invested our savings and time to do so. We are trying to save parks, not make money, but it would be fantastic to make up for some of the basic production costs.
The Costs
Here's how it all adds up:
$20,000 on video equipment
$4,500 in production costs, food, gas, park fees.
$6,000 on editing workstation
$5,000 on publishing, pr, kickstarter rewards, and distribution
There's also editing, color correction, sound design, web design and all that good stuff which our (luckily) multi-talented directors are tackling on their own, so it's not included in the total here.
Any amount raised over the target will go to good use making the film even better. Our target is the bare minimum to get this movie into the public eye. More money beyond the target means more production value, more interviews, and an increased ability to spread our message.
Thank You!
Parks are closing across the nation and we are devoted to the cause, please lend your support to help us showcase these beautiful places. With enough backing beyond the target, this film could get big enough to really make a difference in California and across the country.

Hot on the heels of the Aircraft Carrier u-turn rumours came the Secretary of State's speech at the Royal United Service Institute's Land Warfare Conference. With the Strategic Defence and Security Review calling for a reduction in the size of the Army's manpower, it was inevitable that at some point proposald would crop up to trim the Army, in terms of regiments, Battalions and capabilities.
The programme is euphemistically being called 'Army 2020', as part of 'Future Force 2020'. Interesting, when the 2010 Defence Review was pretty much out of date with three or four months!
"Army 2020, as we call it, will deliver a new structure designed to meet the needs of a smaller, more flexible and agile Army. Set on a firm foundation, in terms of both men and materiel. Well-trained, well-equipped, and, crucially, fully-funded."
Apparently three key considerations underpin the structuring of the Army – sustainability, capability and integration:
"That requires the UK's Armed Forces to be intelligent, flexible and adaptable, both in approaching the fight and during the fight. With an expeditionary capability and a theatre-entry capability."
Expeditionary capability is hanging by a thread as it is, and any future cuts might render it a thing of the past.
"But all of us here recognise the reality that this process is not taking place in a vacuum. The wider national interest requires that we build for the future with strict financial discipline. Tackling the fiscal deficit and returning the economy to sustainable growth are themselves strategic imperatives. Efficiency and the successful application of military force are not mutually exclusive concepts. Indeed, military productivity, which binds them together, is a key concept in the future management of our Armed Forces. The value that our Armed Forces produces for the country is based on their capability to deliver standing military tasks and project formidable power when national security requires it. That, not balancing the books, is the raison d'être for the existence of our Armed Forces and the MOD."
The talk about financial discipline is of course welcome. Of course, the thing about balancing the books is just lip service – even the dumbest observer knows that slash and burn is the name of the game.
Hammond had something interesting to say about logistics:
"Working closely with partners to operate logistics more rationally through Alliance structures. Looking, sometimes, to others to provide the tail, where Britain is providing the teeth."
This has been tried before many a time. When we think back to NATO, early on there was a strong movement to adopt the same calibre small arms, and standardise as much as possible – hence how military equipment has a NATO stock number (even the hull of a warship, it seems!). But standardising on 7.62 and 5.56 is one thing, but what about when it comes to rationing, uniforms, fuel, and the myriad of other cultural differences? It's one of those things that sounds great to an accountant – get rid of the support lines and just buy it in when you need it – but you can't just hire in military tail whenever you need it. A tail doesn't just bolt onto the teeth effortlessly. Would other countries be able to handle supporting the cultural diversity in Britain's army, for example? We're talking leather in beret bands (anathema to a vegan!).
In terms of Reserves:
"The Future Reserves must be structured to provide, as they do today, some niche specialist capabilities that simply aren't cost-effective to maintain on a full-time basis – for example in areas of cyber, medical or intelligence. But the Future Reserve must also be able to provide on a routine basis those capabilities across the spectrum of tasks requiring less intensive complex training."
I feel this is slightly cynical. Again and again we find ministers attempting to replace regulars with reserves. And that is what it entails. No disrespect to reservists, but it is always going to be a downgrading in capability. I know that there are some success stories with use of reservists – some of the medical reserves, for example, and the Royal Engineers railway guys, but I can't help but wonder if we have already pushed the reserve agenda as far as we can? Maybe he's thinking in terms of reducing Regular Logistics?
Or, more ominously, is he thinking in terms of privatisation of logistics? This, if true, is rather worrying. My personal feeling is that privatisation in defence has been pushed too far by successive governments, and that the cost savings pale in comparison with the problems experienced. Wherever privatisation is heralded, I cannot help but fell that it is motivated by a desire to help wealthy businessmen make even more money. Rumsfeld, Cheney and Haliburton springs to mind.
On the Regimental System:
"I also understand that people worry about how, in the midst of all this change, we will maintain a strong thread of continuity. Retaining the ethos, traditions and connections that are part of what makes the British Army so effective – particularly a regimental system and regionally-focused recruiting. Of course, a Regular Army of 82,000 will have a different structure to one of 102,000. And some units inevitably will be lost or will merge. But let me be clear, we value the history and the heritage because they deliver tangible military benefits in the modern British Army. There is no question, as some have suggested, of abandoning the regimental system in the British Army. But that does not mean that we can avoid difficult decisions as the Army gets smaller. That means focusing on analysis of recruitment performance, demographic trends and future recruiting needs."
Thinking wider about the Regimental system, one wonders if it might mean an extension of the restructuring that occured in 2006.
In the current British Army, there are 37 Regular Infantry Battalions:
- Grenadier Guards (1 Bn)
- Coldstream Guards (1 Bn)
- Scots Guards (1 Bn)
- Welsh Guards (1 Bn)
- Irish Guards (1 Bn)
- Royal Regiment of Scotland (5 Bns)
- Duke of Lancasters Regiment (2 Bns)
- Yorkshire Regiment (3 Bns)
- Mercian Regiment (3 Bns)
- Royal Welsh (2 Bns)
- Princess of Wales Royal Regiment (2 Bns)
- Royal Fusiliers (2 Bns)
- Royal Anglian Regiment (2 Bns)
- Royal Irish Regiment (1 Bn)
- Parachute Regiment (3 Bns)
- Royal Gurkha Rifles (2 Bns)
- Rifles (5 Bns)
One would imagine that if the MOD is intent on reducing infantry manpower and infrastructure, it will attempt to reduce the number of parent Regiments through mergers, and then reduce the amount of Battalions. For example, in 2006 the Royal Greenjackets (2Bns), the Light Infantry (2 Bns), the Devon and Dorsets (1Bn) and the Gloucester, Berkshire and Wiltshires (1Bn) merged to form the 5 Battalion Rifles Regiment. There are a lot of 2 and 3 Bn Regiments in the order of battle that might make sensible mergers.
One wonders how Hammond – and indeed Cameron – will fare when it comes to the inevitable decision that the Royal Regiment of Scotland cannot sustain 5 Battalions. As outlined by Mike Jackson years ago, demographically it just isn't sustainable. Yet when Alec Salmond and his ilk start their bluff and bluster about Scottish heritage, who will blink first? In 2006 Blair called in Jackson and said, to quote, 'I need you to help me out of a hole here'. There have already been unfounded rumours in some Scottish media outlets about disbandment of Regiments. Hell hath no fury like an old boy whose Regiment is threatened. In particular, regional pride in the form of Ireland and Wales might also be heavy going. The Guards, although seemingly out of date, are bombproof from any kind of change when it comes to the Army's respect for all things senior and historic.
The traditional Regiment structure has been evolving ever since the early nineteenth century. The Cardwell Reforms in the 1880's saw the establishment of country Regiments, which in turn were merged into what might be call sub-regional Regiments between the end of the Second World War and the end of the Cold War. The County Regiment structure which appears to be held up as a traditional golden age only existed for around 60 years. History suggests that where Regimental structures are concerned, a state of flux is actually the norm.
That things have to change is, sadly, non-negotiable. As with the Royal Navy, we would all swell with pride if the Army regained some of its former glory. But strategic necessity and my tax bill just don't warrant it. But on the flip side, we don't want to see a rerun of previous defence cuts, with cuts so savage that the guys that are left have an impossible job to do, and are then asked to do too much by the very same politicians who slashed the Armed Forces in the first place!
Interesting times ahead indeed. My predictions – more mergers and cuts in Infantry units, cuts in Armour and Artillery, and cuts and increased reliance on reserves in specialised support functions – in particular logistics.

Robert Rubin and Chuck Prince ran the financial giant Citigroup in the years leading up to the Great Financial Crash of 2008. Together, their leadership proved so disastrous that the company was forced to beg for one of the largest bailouts in economic history. Under Rubin and Prince, Citigroup made just about every wrong-headed bet it could have made: The company issuing millions of predatory subprime mortgages, bought billions in doomed mortgage derivatives and made tricky trades to hide assets from investors. On Thursday, April 8, Rubin and Prince will testify before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. Here are ten questions the Commission should ask them.
1. How much money did each of you make during your tenure at Citi?
2. How many subprime mortgages did Citi issue while you were running the company?
3. How much did Citigroup spend on campaign contributions and lobbying efforts between 1999 and 2009? Please include sums funneled through trade groups like the American Bankers Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Financial Services Roundtable.
4. How much money did Citigroup lose in 2008 and 2009?
5. How many Citigroup mortgages have gone into foreclosure since 2006?
6. How much bailout money did Citigroup receive from the federal government? Please include sums received under the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, and the Federal Reserve.
7. Citigroup moved about $100 billion in assets off its balance sheet under your tenures, refusing to disclose anything about these questionable assets to investors. By pulling the wool over the eyes of your own investors, Citi was able to expand its leverage ratios beyond the legal limits. Why did you do this? How much money did you ultimately lose on those off-balance-sheet assets?
8. Citigroup was created in 1999 by the repeal of Glass-Steagall, a deregulatory effort that Rubin pushed through when serving as Treasury Secretary. How does Citigroup's disastrous performance over the past decade reflect on the repeal of that law?
9. Every single banking conglomerate in the United States needed a substantial bailout from U.S. taxpayers in 2008. If Citigroup remains at its current size, what is the likelihood that the company will get through the next financial crisis without needing a bailout?
10. What does Citigroup owe the American people? What do you, personally, owe the American people?

Help Your Heart with Watermelon
We generally think of organic watermelon as a summertime snack, but this juicy treat is available year-round.
It may surprise you to learn that watermelon is a vegetable because it's part of the cucumber and squash family—a classification that remains controversial.
Composed of 92% water and 8% sugar, watermelon has long been recognized as a weight watcher's BFF. A half-cup serving of diced watermelon has only 25 calories and meets 10% of your daily vitamin C requirement.
Some of the latest research shows watermelon contains high concentrations of lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce cancer risk. In addition, a 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture study cited watermelon's role in cardiovascular health, with amino acids that help maintain arteries and blood flow.
There are more than 50 U.S. watermelon varieties, available with red, orange or yellow flesh. The four most popular categories are:
- AllSweet: 20–25 pounds, red flesh, oblong shape, dark green rind (with or without stripes); best served "as-is," simply sliced and eaten
- Ice-Box: 5–15 pounds, red or yellow flesh, round shape, dark or light green rind; great for cooking/recipes
- Seedless: 10–25 pounds, red or yellow flesh, oval to round shape, light green rind with dark green stripes; ideal for beverages and sorbets
- Yellow Flesh: 10–30 pounds, yellow to bright-orange flesh, oblong to long shape, light green rind with mottled stripes; use in kebobs and garnishes
One of the newest pairings on restaurant menus is watermelon and cheese, a trend borrowed from Mediterranean cuisine. Tune in tomorrow and Saturday for two such delectable recipes.

You've Got To Fight For The Right To Party...Into Old Age
I am in the final stages of finishing My Life by Sofia Tolstoy. She continues to amaze me: how much she accomplished, and how she remained so supportive of her husband and family which at times was a thankless task.
She wrote of the celebration of a great poet, nearing the end of his life, and the community was going to hold a fete. She arranged for garlands and wreaths to be sent in her family's name, and many of her family members (minus her husband) participated in the celebration. She wrote, "As for me, I simply found it a pleasure to organize and take part in the event. As a rule I am quite fond of celebrations, glamour, fun, beauty, the company of pleasant people, although apart from the latter, I do have the company of pleasant people. I was destined to live my life completely outside of that whole (sphere.) On this occasion, too, fate robbed me of the very celebration I had organized." (She had to remain home nursing sick children.)
Later, she found in her husband's diary, his comments on that event: "Everybody's terribly silly, overeating, overdrinking, and singing. Even gross! Vainglory, luxury, poetry, it's all quite enchanting when one is filled with the energy of youth, but without youth or energy, with on the dullness of old age permeating everything, it's gross."
Sofia reports, "For some reason, however, I did not find it gross. I was happy to bring what might have been a final pleasure to this celebrity poet. Life is too hard, grey and complicated and that it's good when one sees flaring up from time to time, if not sunlight, then at least a tiny star!" I agree with her. This has been on my mind lately: the process of aging gracefully and not falling prey to the undertow of jadedness and negativity. It's an easy way out. You don't have to make much effort to be a curmudgeon. I hope I can keep striving for that light, or at least a tiny star.
Postscript: The photograph that I used was the last taken of the couple on their anniversary, September 23, 1909.

Tween heart throb Justin Bieber intended to celebrate his mom's birthday over the weekend with a cake.
But the candles set her hair on fire, People reports.
The pop star, 17, surprised Pattie Mallette with a birthday cake at the end of the concert at Berlin's O2 World arena. But as she leaned over the cake to blow out the candles, a few strands of her hair caught on fire.
Bieber quickly put out the flames, and then said, "Mama, I'll always be your baby," according to Germany's Bild newspaper.
Mother and son both later joked about the incident on Twitter.

Joint pain is the hallmark symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but many who have RA also know that fatigue can be just as frustrating and debilitating. The inflammatory condition that causes RA itself can cause fatigue but there are other factors that can wear you down. Stress of dealing with a chronic disease and pain can be wearing and fatigue itself can worsen pain creating a constant cycle. Managing fatigue can be an important part to breaking the cycle and managing RA's impact on your day to day life. Medications can help manage inflammation process but the medications themselves can also contribute to fatigue.
Researchers wanted to find treatment options other than medications to help provide fatigue relief. The study, published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, found that regular physical activity and psychosocial therapy helped decrease fatigue.
About the Study
The systematic review included 24 randomized trials that assessed non-medication interventions for fatigue in 2,882 adults with RA. Six of the trials with 388 participants assessed physical activity interventions including pool exercise, yoga, strength training, indoor cycling, low impact aerobics, or tai chi. The review found that compared to controls, physical activity was associated with decreased fatigue.
Psychosocial therapies were assessed in 13 trials with 1,579 people. These therapies may include talk therapy focused on behavior change, group education, and lifestyle changes. The review found that these therapies were also associated with a with a decrease in fatigue compared to controls.
There was not enough quality evidence to assess the benefits of other interventions including herbal medicine, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, Mediterranean diet, or reflexology.
How Does This Affect You?
Systematic reviews are considered one of the most reliable forms of research because they create a large pool of participants. Studies with large pools of participants increase the reliability of the outcome but, the review is only as reliable as the studies that are included. There were some problems with the studies included in the physical activity and psychosocial review that would decrease the reliability of the review. The other factors that were studied only had 1 trial each so it was not possible to pool the data for more reliable results. Overall, the results of this trials are similar to the results of other research that supports physical activity and psychosocial interventions to help manage chronic health conditions and improve general health.
There are many factors that can contribute to RA fatigue. Effectively managing fatigue and other RA symptoms may require a combination of medical and lifestyle changes. Communicate with your doctor about your RA symptoms to make any necessary treatment changes but consider lifestyle changes like regular physical activity or changes in thought process to help you manage symptoms and the effect of RA on your life. Explore different exercise options and psychosocial interventions to find one that works best for you and remember that inactivity and stress can actually make your symptoms worse.

The 10 Best Slacker Novels According to Adam Wilson
Though we're sure he's no slouch himself, Adam Wilson sure knows a thing or two about the intricacies of slackerdom. His debut novel Flatscreen, which hit shelves this week, is the hilarious story of professional slacker Eli Schwartz — perpetually stoned, uncomfortably doughy, cheerfully lewd — who is forced to face up to certain facts of life (and required to put on pants) when his (parents') home is purchased by an aging, sex-addicted ex-TV star in a wheelchair. As you might imagine, hijinks ensue, most of which are relatively unflattering to our friend Eli, but he manages to slouch and whine his way towards a satisfying conclusion. Since he's the expert, we asked Wilson to tell us about his all-time favorite literary slacker novels — click through to check out his (also very funny) list, and then be sure to tell us about your own preferred misanthropic reads in the comments!
Wilson says: "I've always thought of Jesus Christ — the New Testament's long-haired itinerant carpenter and struggling magician — as the first literary slacker He drank a lot of wine and never wore pants; he was into holistic healing; he could be preachy and moralistic, but was a good guy deep down. And to think they strung him up for it. Society's attitude toward slackers hasn't softened much."

Perhaps controversially, I believe that too much emphasis and, indeed, money is spent on encouraging people to start their own business. In my opinion, resources should be restructured to offer more help to people once they have actually taken the plunge.
I believe people should be shown that business is a genuine career option, and I am a strong advocate of Young Enterprise. But I've seen too much money wasted on national campaigns encouraging Joe Bloggs to start a business while someone who has a great small business cannot get to the next stage because of unnecessary barriers.
A prime example of a product which should help but which doesn't is the Government's Small Firms Loan Guarantee (SFLG). The idea behind this is that the Government covers some of the risk of the loan in order to allow banks to lend more easily to small businesses.
This was re-launched last year as the Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme and the Labour Party's manifesto tells us it has helped 9,000 businesses. Writing as someone who has first-hand experience of the SFLG, I can tell you that if I was to start the process over again, I certainly wouldn't bother. In the end we gave over so many of our own guarantees that the entire point was lost; despite whatever their PR says, the banks are simply not ready and willing to lend on this scheme.
In a nation of more than 60 million, 9,000 people on this scheme is not a claim to fame but an admission of failure. The figure should be tenfold. The Government needs to seriously and quickly address this issue and they should not be putting forward a scheme which the banks may or may not promote. They should be telling the banks that if a business comes in and meets a set of criteria, then they must allow them finance under a scheme where the risk of the loan is partially covered by the Government itself.

"Black Friday" creep is getting almost as bad as Christmas creep, with retailers pushing things ever earlier.
Today, Wal-Mart announced it would open its doors at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. That's two hours earlier than 2011, so at this rate, Wal-Mart will be opening at 6 a.m. Thanksgiving Day before the end of the decade. We already have Black Friday, Cyber Monday and (for the procrastinators) Christmas Eve, and now we have Black Turkey Day. This is not what the pilgrims wanted.
And it's not just Wal-Mart. Sears will also open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Target hasn't officially announced anything, but the site blackfriday.com leaked a flyer that indicates it will open at 9 p.m. Best Buy will open shockingly late, at midnight. Four hours is like four years in Black Thursday time!
Wal-Mart is also offering a guarantee on three products, providing even more incentive to skip out on time with the family. According to the Associated Press:
"Those who are lined up inside the store between 10 p.m and 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving will be able to purchase the following items: an Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi for $399 plus a $74 Wal-Mart gift card; an Emerson 32-inch LCD TV for $148, down from the original $228; and an LG Blu-ray Disc player for $38, about half off the original price. For those who are inside the store during that one-hour window on Thanksgiving and find the product sold out, Wal-Mart will offer a guarantee card for the item."
So expect the crowds to be even crazier this year, the lines to start earlier, and the creep to keep creeping. Ready for Black Wednesday Before Thanksgiving?

What is Buy Now Pay Later?
Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months depending on how much you spend. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).
You can choose;
Buy Now Pay Later for 9 months when you spend £50 or more (1 month = 28 days).
Buy Now Pay Later for 12 months when you spend £300 or more (12 calendar months).
How is interest calculated?
Interest is calculated daily from date of order, compounded every 28 days and added to your account as a lump sum at the end of the delayed payment period. This means you will pay interest on interest.
How to avoid paying interest?
You can avoid all of the interest by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, this can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.
Making partial payments without clearing the cash price in full will reduce the lump sum of compound interest charged at the end of the delayed payment period.
Remember if you choose not to pay the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, any outstanding balance plus a lump sum of compound interest will be charged to your Very account.
How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?
To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose "Make a payment", select "Pay Buy Now Pay Later" and allocate your payment to the specific Buy Now Pay Later you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.
What happens after the delayed payment period?
If you have not paid the cash price in full or have only made a partial payment, a lump sum of interest will be charged to your Very account. Any outstanding balance plus the interest will now become payable on your account.
As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest at your account rate, meaning you will pay interest on interest. This will be included within your account minimum payment request every 28 days and cannot be repaid using Take 3.
If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.
What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?
The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.
Do I still have to pay my minimum payment?
Yes, allocating payments to Buy Now Pay Later will not cover the minimum payment for your Very account. If you have a non-Buy Now Pay Later balance on your Very account, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) Joe Southwick threw for three touchdowns and Boise State took advantage of five turnovers to breeze past Southern Mississippi 40-14 Saturday.
The Broncos (4-1) won their fourth straight by intercepting Golden Eagles quarterback Ricky Lloyd twice and recovering three of four fumbles by Southern Miss, which is 0-5 for the first time since 1976.
The 5-1 edge in turnovers came one week after coach Chris Peterson's team used three New Mexico fumbles to survive a 32-29 scare.
``I don't know how we keep getting turnovers,'' Peterson said. ``But it sure makes things different for us. I'm not sure why we're getting them - whether we're just in the right place at the right time or what - but as long as they are coming like they did today, we're going to be in every game and we have a chance to win most of them.''
The first interception came on Lloyd's fifth attempt of the game and set up Southwick's 11-yard scoring pass to Matt Miller that put the Broncos on top 7-0. Linebacker Tyler Gray returned his first-career interception 34 yards to the Golden Eagle 11-yard line, and Southwick and Miller connected on the ensuing play.
The lead swelled to 24-0 at the half when another Southern Miss turnover set up Southwick's second touchdown, a 33-yard strike to Chris Potter with 6 seconds left in the second quarter. That proved to be an insurmountable deficit for the Golden Eagles, who came into Saturday ranked 119th in the country in total offense.
``That was nice to get that score there,'' Southwick said. ``We got the ball back after another turnover, and we're thinking, `Let's just get into field goal range.' Luckily, (Potter) was able to get free and get some separation. I didn't think he had moves like that.''
Southern Miss' two touchdown drives came on consecutive possessions in the third and fourth quarters after Anthony Alford replaced Lloyd at quarterback, but the Broncos answered both touchdowns with scores of their own.
Southwick connected with Kirby Moore for 27 yards and his third touchdown pass to make it 37-7, and Michael Frisina added his second field goal of the afternoon from 31 yards out with less than three minutes left to close out the game.
Southwick finished 17-of-26 passing for 201 yards with an interception.
D.J. Harper led the Broncos in rushing with 14 carries for 51 yards, including touchdown runs of 11 and 19 yards.

Connecticut cities Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford are all among the 25 most dangerous cities in America, according to our analysis of violent crime per capita.
What's wrong with Connecticut?
First of all, the state faces a growing gang problem.
Gangs are no longer a problem associated with big cities alone. Since the 1990s, their prevalence has been growing in smaller cities and suburban areas. FBI data shows that since 2009, gang membership increased most significantly in the Northeast and Southeast regions of the country.
Bridgeport is especially dangerous. The state's most populous city had 15 murders per 100,000 people in 2012 after a rash of gun violence. Residents interviewed by the Connecticut Post admitted that "something has to be done" about gangs in the city. At least 15 sets of gangs operate in Bridgeport, according to the newspaper.
While gangs in Bridgeport are primarily neighborhood-based and focus more on robberies than drugs, gangs in Hartford are more into drug trafficking. An internal police memo from 2009 discussed the "gang infestation" that has been plaguing Hartford, noting that "recruitment is at an all-time high."
New Haven also has a known gang problem. City authorities have been meeting with gang members in an attempt to persuade them to stop the violence, the Associated Press reported last month.
It's not clear why gangs thrive in Connecticut, but research has shown crime is more prevalent in areas with high income gaps. And Connecticut has the starkest contrast between the rich and the poor, according to Census data analyzed by Bloomberg.
All three Connecticut cities that made the most dangerous list are now adopting a program that has proven successful to reduce gang violence in cities such as Chicago and Cincinnati. That program, called Project Longevity, recruits law enforcement and social workers to "engage in a sustained relationship with violent groups."

For this layout I started with one of the MCS digital cut files: the palm tree, but instead of cutting the palm tree I removed the Silhouette Cameo cutting blade and inserted a brown Silhouette sketch pen. In the Silhouette settings I easily adjusted the settings (see on the right side, at the bottom):
After resizing the tree to almost page size I inserted the paper I wanted to draw on and pressed "Send to Silhouette":
The next step was water coloring the palm tree image. I used my Studio Calico water color paints and got to work:
I used large brush strokes to "roughly" color the image:
After I finished coloring I set the paper aside to let it dry and selected the paper, photo and embellishments I wanted to use. Next came the designing of the page. Before adhering anything I placed everything I thought wanted to use on my paper and kept rearranging until I was satisfied with the look:
After adhering everything I added some machine stitching, journaling, a date stamp and a couple of paint drops and I was done!
Here are a few close-ups of the finished page:
Hope you like it!! For more July Main Kit inspiration hop over to the Design Team gallery and if you're interested in information about the kit club then you can find the details HERE.
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to take a peek at my project!

Big in size. Big in popularity. Big in collectibility.
In April 1832, the U.S. Congress carved out a federal reserve near Hot Springs, Arkansas. In April 2010, the U.S. Mint paid tribute to this site with Hot Springs National Park, the first 3-inch, .999 fine, 5 oz Silver coin in the mint's history to launch a brand new series.
This was the start of the America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins™ series. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Mount Hood National Forest followed later that year. The U.S. Mint has released five America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins each year since 2010. They're one of the mint's most talked about bullion products.
The series honors five national parks and historic sites every year. The program is expected to run through 2021 with a total of 56 coins honoring national parks and historic sites. By the time the series is complete, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories will be represented.
Big, beautiful, 5 oz Silver editions of the popular quarters.
America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins have a nominal face value of 25 cents. The designs are exact duplicates of the popular America the Beautiful quarters that are now in general circulation. Check your pockets or purse and there's a good chance you'll find some of these quarters.
But these giant 3 inch, 5 oz coins show design details in ways that no pocket quarter ever can. Also, the coins' .999 fine Silver composition gives them a lustrous sheen.
For more serious collectors, APMEX has very rare, First Strike and proof America the Beautiful coins — some graded perfect SP-70 by PCGS.
A large selection for investors and collectors.
Though the U.S. Mint issues these coins as bullion, they have become very popular amongst collectors. In the first year of the series, which includes the popular Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Parks, only 33,000 coins of each design were minted. These have become rare collectibles.
There is a total mintage of only 200,000 coins, spread across all designs for the given year. So these big, beautiful coins are scarce enough to potentially become valuable with collectors.
If you have a collection that you wish to complete, click here to see the huge APMEX selection of America the Beautiful (ATB) coins. One of the largest anywhere, it's where you're most likely to find the coin you're looking for.

Bruins win Stanley Cup
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Sixteen years to the day the Boston Bruins last hoisted the Stanley Cup and rejoiced, Brad Marchand was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Scratch that. Make it "last hoisted the Stanley Cup" before tonight. Thanks to the two-goal performances of Marchand and linemate Patrice Bergeron, as well as another spectacular performance in net by Tim Thomas (37 saves), the Boston Bruins are at last rejoicing again.
The Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Rogers Arena, 4-0, becoming the Stanley Cup champions for the first time since the big, bad glory days of Orr and Espo in 1972. The victory ends a 39-year title drought and gives the Bruins a place on the pedestal (or the at least the duck boats) alongside the Celtics (2008), Patriots (2001, '03, '04) and Red Sox (2004, '07) as champions during this unprecendented era of all-around professional sports success in the city.
The victory was the Bruins' first here during the series in three tries here in Vancouver, which had won Games 1, 2, and 5 here despite scoring a total of just five goals on their home ice and eight overall in the series. The Bruins won all three games at the Garden by a 17-3 advantage, but winning in Vancouver was a tall challenge.
Of course, these Bruins, on determined path since blowing a three-game lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Philadelphia Flyers last postseason, have been up for every tall challenge they have faced during this playoff run, beating the rival Montreal Canadiens in seven games in the first round, avenging the previous loss to the Flyers with a sweep, then taking down the talented Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games to reach the Cup Finals against the gifted Canucks.
Tonight's challenge was also one they proved up to almost immediately, with Bergeron flipping a one-timer past beleagured Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo at the 14:37 mark of the first period to give the Bruins the crucial first goal.
The play was set up by the relentless rookie Marchand, who boosted the Bruins lead to 2-0 in the second period with a wraparound goal after beating Luongo to the far post at 12:13 of the second period.
Bergeron got his second of the night a little more than five minutes later on a shorthanded break in in which the puck trickled past Luongo as Bergeron and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff crashed into the net. Marchand iced the cake with an empty-netter at 17:16 of the third period.
The winning effort was typical of these Bruins, with so many players contributing to the clinching victory. Tireless defenseman Dennis Seidenberg had two assists. The fourth line of Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton was stellar defensively. Mark Recchi, the classy 43-year-old future Hall of Famer, had an assist in the final game of an NHL career than began in November 1988. Andrew Ference . . . David Krejci . . . Milan Lucic . . . Johnny Boychuk . . . and on it goes.
But it will be the 37-year-old Thomas who is remembered the most for what happened tonight. The Conn Smythe award winner as the MVP of the postseason, the affable goalie allowed the Canucks — the highest scoring team in the NHL this season — just eight goals in the seven games while setting a record for saves by one goalie in a single postseason. Until this postseason, Gerry Cheevers was the most beloved goalie in franchise history.
Tonight, he has company. And so do the rest of his teammates on those cherished 1970 and '72 champions.
The 2010-11 Boston Bruins have made some history of their own.
Final score: Bruins 4, Canucks 0: The gloves and sticks are on the ice. The arms are in the air. And Tim Thomas has been engulfed by his teammates. It looks exactly like you imagined all these years, Bruins fans.
The 39-year wait is over. Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand each scored a pair of goals, and the Boston Bruins are the 2010-11 Stanley Cup champions. Once more, with emphasis: The Boston Bruins are the 2010-11 Stanley Cup champions.
Stay right here at Boston.com for much, much more tonight.
19:00: The Bruins are one minute away from winning the Stanley Cup. How's that look typed out?
17:16, Boston 4, Vancouver 0: The Canucks pull Luongo, and Marchand makes them pay, scoring his second of the night. Safe to say it's over yet? We'll say it. The Bruins are less than three minutes from being Stanley Cup champions. How does that sound?
13:34: Penalty killed. Canucks are outshooting the Bruins, 34-19. The Bruins are outscoring the Canucks, 3-0.
12:54: Marchand nearly gets one shorthanded, but the puck kicks wide of Luongo.
11:34: Milan Lucic called for hooking. The crowd awakens from it's slumber. The Paille line takes the ice.
10:09: Thomas covers up in front with Maxim Lapierre buzzing around. Twenty-eight for 28 so far. With his last save, he surpassed Kirk McLean for the second-most saves in one Cup Final. McLean was Vancouver's goalie in their seven-game loss to the Rangers in '94. Johnny Bower of the '64 Canadiens had 233 saves in the Final, four more than Thomas has at the moment.
9:30: Thomas gives up a long rebound on a Kevin Bieksa fling at the net, but the Bruins clear it away.
8:06: Daniel Sedin gets one of the Canucks' best chances of the night on a mini-breakaway after a Bruins turnover in the neutral zone, but his backhander is smothered by Thomas, who tips sideways to make sure the puck doesn't bounce loose. Twenty-five Canucks shots, 25 Thomas saves.
6:50: Not much going on for the Bruins on the power play, though Ryder nearly surprises Luongo with a quick wrister. Bruins are perfectly content to play their disciplined defensive game and let the clock tick.
5:33: First penalty on the Canucks, with Jannik Hansen banished to the box for interference.
3:17: Chris Higgins fires off a close range shot on Thomas that doesn't appear to make it to the net. The Canucks are desperate to get a goal, obviously, and they are playing like it.
0:40: Roberto Luongo, with 10 saves on 13 shots, is still in net for the Canucks, in case you were wondering if we might see Cory Schneider.
Start of the third period, Bruins 3, Canucks 0: First line out there for the Canucks, second line for the Bruins. And here we go.
Second intermission notes and quotes: Inspirational messages scrolling across the scoreboard: "If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it" . . . "It's a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness" . . . "Pain is temporary, victory is forever." . . . Unfortunately for Canucks fans, those who could use the inspiration most remain in the home locker room . . . The teams are 19-19 on faceoffs, with Vancouver outshooting the Bruins, 21-13 . . . The Sedins are each minus-3, meaning they've both been on the ice for all three of Boston's goals . . . Dennis Seidenberg leads the Bruins with 17:54 of ice time, while Johnny Boychuk is second (15:26). Zdeno Chara is relatively rested by his standards (16:34).
End of the second period, Bruins 3, Canucks 0: Twenty minutes. That's all that stands between the Bruins first Stanley Cup championship since the days of Orr and Espo in 1972. Patrice Bergeron has two goals, Brad Marchand a goal and an assist, and Tim Thomas has stopped all 21 Vancouver shots he has faced as the Bruins have scored as many goals through two periods as they have in the previous three games combined here in this series. We don't count our Stanley Cups before they've hatched around here, and neither do the Bruins, who are playing their usual disciplined game tonight. But . . . 20 minutes. I'll be back with some second period stats and the start of the third period shortly. Do not move, don't change the channel, and stay right here.
17:35, Bruins 3, Canucks 0: Goal. And it's suddenly very, very quiet in here.
17:35, Bruins 3, Canucks 0 . . . pending review, apparently: This could be the pivotal moment of the night right here. Patrice Bergeron appears to score his second goal of the night, this one in a shorthanded situation, when the puck trickles past Luongo as he's being hauled down by Christian Ehrhoff.
17:24: After a puck deflects into the stands, Kevin Bieksa raises his arms in frustration. Didn't like something there.
16:07: We have our first penalty more than 36 minutes into the game when Chara is banished to the box for interference. Coming off a TV timeout, the Canucks go with the Sedins/Burrows line. Huge, huge two minutes here for both sides. The Bruins have their fourth line out there after Chris Kelly wins the faceoff and is replaced immediately by Daniel Paille. Seidenberg and Boychuk are the defensemen to begin the penalty.
15:47: The Kesler line gets two or three golden opportunities on Thomas after Adam McQuaid loses his stick, but there's still nothing to show for it.
14:21: The goal is Marchand's 10th of the playoffs, building on his franchise rookie record for postseason goals.
12:13 second period, Bruins 2, Canucks 0: . . . and seconds later, Brad Marchand silences the Rogers Arena crowd, collecting a rebound of a Dennis Seidenberg shot to Luongo's left, slipping behind the net, and wrapping it inside the right post before Luongo could recover. It appeared that Luongo was impeded by Henrik Sedin, who banged into the goalie while trying to get to Marchand. Mark Recchi also picked up an assist.
11:47: Luongo slaps away a shot by Michael Ryder breaking into the zone . . .
11:02: The Canucks have outshot the Bruins, 6-2, this period, and two of the Bruins shots have come from fourth-liner Gregory Campbell.
10:15: With his stop of a Ryan Kesler shot at the 1-minute mark, Thomas set the all-time record for saves in a single postseason.
9:23: Chara turns the puck over to Alex Burrows in front of Thomas, then gets recovers to make the save when the goalie slides too far out of the net to try to defend the shot glove side. Could have been a brutal mistake by Chara, but he covered for his own blunder just in time.
5:30: Canucks hold a 13-5 shots advantage. Not an entirely accurate representation of how the game has gone, and not just because the Bruins are up a goal. Boston is playing its usual disciplined defensive game.
4:24: Another strong shift by the Bruins' fourth line. Meanwhile, the crowd is cheering any little thing they can to try to jump-start the Canucks, such as a rudimentary Henrik Sedin check of Chara. The seeds of desperation are planted.
2:01: Thomas with three sharp stops in the span of a minute against the Canucks' top line of Sedin, Sedin, and Burrows. Vancouver is playing determined offensive hockey right now.
1:15: Luongo bats away a close-range bid by Marchand, who navigated around Alex Edler. Great chance.
Start of the second period, Bruins 1, Canucks 0: The Peverley-Krejci-Lucic trio get it started for the Bruins.
First intermission notes and quotes: Haven't emphasized enough the quality play from the Bruins' fourth line of Gregory Campbell, Daniel Paille, and Shawn Thornton, who accounted for three of Boston's five shots in the first period . . . The Bruins outhit the Canucks, 22-20, with Milan Lucic leading the way with five. That's a major improvement for Claude Julien's squad over Game 5 here, when Vancouver seemed to catch the Bruins by surprise by setting the early tone physically . . . The Bruins won 53 percent of the faceoffs, with Mark Recchi, David Krejci, and Rich Peverley combining to win 5 of 6.
End of the first period, Bruins 1, Canucks 0: The Canucks controlled play for the majority of the period, outshot the Bruins, 8-5 . . . and yet the Bruins have to be pleased with where they stand. Patrice Bergeron's goal at 14:37 off a beautiful and perhaps fortuitous pass from Brad Marchand, who appeared to be targeting Mark Recchi. Scoring first was crucial for the Bruins tonight, and after weathering Vancouver's early energy, outplayed the home team in the second half of the period. So what's the key for the Bruins' in the second period? How about getting the second goal of the game.
19:47: If further evidence is required that anything short of maiming will not be called tonight, it was just presented right around the blue line in the Boston zone. The Canucks' Chris Higgins collided with an unsuspecting Zdena Chara high and hard while Vancouver's Kevin Bieksa was rushing the puck. Under most circumstances, it was probably interference, and Chara sold it as such. Under Game 7 circumstances, it's no harm, no penalty.
14:37, Bruins 1, Canucks 0: It's been said time and again that the Bruins need to score first here tonight. And they have. Patrice Bergeron one-times a feed from Brad Marchand past Luongo, and the Bruins have the lead. The goal is Bergeron's fifth of the playoffs, while the assist, which came after a deft spin move by Marchand along the sidewall, is his eighth. The pass appeared to be targeted for Mark Recchi, but it got through to Bergeron, who scored before Luongo could do anything about it. How important might this be? The team that has scored first has won all six games in this series.
14:29: No penalties so far, which benefits the Bruins given their significant advantage over the Canucks in 5 on 5 play this series. The referees, Dan O'Halloran and Stephen Walkom, also handled Game 7 of the Lightning series, when no penalties were called during the entire game.
14:05: This feels remarkably similar to the start of the previous three games here — lots of energy, a few good chances, and no results on the scoreboard.
11:59: The Marchand-Bergeron-Recchi line did a nice job controlling play on their last shift. Luongo now has four saves.
10:29: Hansen has fit right in with Kesler and Higgins on the Canucks' second line, generating creative scoring chances.
8:10: The Canucks have outshot the Bruins, 6-3, and that's pretty indicative of how they've controlled play. Thomas has had to make 2-3 spectacular saves so far.
7:40: Rogers Arena shakes to its foundation when Mason Raymond, wearing a brace covering his full torso, is shown on the scoreboard exhorting the Canucks. The Canucks' in-house TV team reported he would not be here tonight, remaining behind in Boston after suffering a compressed verterbrae in his back when he was checked into the boards in Game 2, but he is in the building. The atmosphere is very similar to when injured Bruins forward Nathan Horton was shown on the Garden scoreboard during Game 6.
7:27: The Bruins' fourth line makes Luongo work, with Daniel Paille having the best opportunity glove-side on the Vancouver goalie.
5:37: Brad Marchand has been everywhere so far. You get the feeling that if the Bruins win, he'll be on the short list of reasons why. Meanwhile, Canucks fans let out a roar every time their team gains control of the puck.
4:05: David Krejci and Henrik Sedin swap quality close-range chances. Luongo and Thomas match each other with quality close-range saves. The tension is palpable.
2:18: Jannik Hansen, moved up to the second line to replace the injured Mason Raymond, gets a quick shot in the slot on Thomas but fires wide. Good chance. Seconds later, Luongo makes his first save, bringing chants of "Loooooo."
Start of the first period: The Canucks control play early, with their first shot on Tim Thomas coming at 18:03. Vancouver has come out flying in the previous three games here in this series, so the energetic start is no surprise. It's crucial that the Bruins get through the first five minutes or so without allowing the Canucks to get on the scoreboard.
Pregame: Bruins will start with the Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Mark Recchi line, with Vancouver public enemy No. 1 Johnny Boychuk and Zdeno Chara on defense. Tim Thomas is in net, of course.
The Canucks will open with their second line of Ryan Kesler and Chris Higgins, with Jannik Hansen moving up to take over for the injured Mason Raymond. Sami Salo and Christian Ehrhoff are the defensive pairing, and Roberto Luongo is in net.
Mark Donnelly does a stirring rendition of "O, Canada." The guy who sings "The Star-Spangled Banner" might as well have done it in fast forward. And we're almost ready to go here in Game 7.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — What could be better than a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final?
Wait . . . I guess the answer is obvious, isn't it?
Winning a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final. Bringing the Stanley Cup back to Boston for the first time since those big, bad golden days in '72. Proving that Boston is again and always will be a hockey town. Building a lasting legacy for Tim Thomas and Mark Recchi and Patrice Bergeron and . . .
There we go, getting ahead of ourselves. It's just that it's difficult not to ponder the possibilities should the Bruins defeat the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Rogers Arena. But for the Bruins, there can be no anticipation of what's to come should they finish with the bigger number on the scoreboard tonight.
They must stay focused, knowing that the task is not easy — Vancouver is 3-0 here during the Final, while the Bruins are 3-0 at the Garden. The Canucks clearly receive a jolt of energy from their remarkably dedicated fans, which is why it's imperative that the Bruins refuse to let the Canucks capture the momentum in the first few minutes; they've come out flying in each of the previous three games here, and each time the Bruins have withstood the onslaught.
The Bruins' best chance to seize the Cup on Vancouver ice tonight is an obvious one: Score on Roberto Luongo early, and get him thinking about his failures (15 goals allowed in essentially six periods in Boston) rather than his successes (two home shutouts). The Bruins also cannot allow the Canucks to establish physical play early, as they did during Game 5 here. The Bruins are the tougher team. They need to remind the Canucks of as much early and often tonight while remaining out of the penalty box.
The Bruins feature the same lineup as in Game 6. The Canucks are without talented second-line forward Mason Raymond, who suffered a compressed vertebrae when he was checked into the boards by the Bruins' Johnny Boychuk early in Game 2. Jeff Tambellini will replace him in the Vancouver lineup, with Jannik Hansen moving from the third to second line.
The rumors that Nathan Horton would be in the lineup tonight for the Bruins are not true, shot down adamantly by Claude Julien earlier today. The rumors that Nathan Horton poured Boston water on the Vancouver ice earlier tonight . . . well, it is Game 7. Anything to establish your turf is fair game.
