Podcasts and a reading from interesting blogs: Perfection in biology?
The "evil" Discovery Institute's Nota Bene tells me:
(Quite honestly, having seen how long people live in a generally non-insane environment like Canada, I am a hard sell for nonsense about the imperfections of nature. I suspect that people - by act or omission - kill far more people than nature does, at present.)
What Darwinists Have to Grapple With: Physicists See Perfection in Biology
The scientists at Biologic Institute have noticed something sure to challenge and trouble Darwinian biologists: physicists are recognizing perfection as a principle in biology.
When we think of simple, elegant, unifying principles in science, we think of physics. It's not surprising then that physicists who examine living systems are looking for principles of this kind.
And it seems they have found one. Simply stated, it is that biological processes tend to be optimal in cases where this can be tested.
Life's complexity can make it hard to pinpoint what "optimal" means, but sometimes physical limits provide a crisp definition. Because these limits cannot possibly be exceeded, they serve as an objective standard of perfection. Interestingly, in cases where it is clearly beneficial to edge right up to this standard, that's exactly what life seems to do.
For decades enzymologists have recognized that certain enzymes are catalytically perfect—meaning that they process reactant molecules as rapidly as these molecules can reach them by diffusion. That hinted at a principle of physical perfection in biology, but no one anticipated its breadth until recently.

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
There are some foods that I have only to think about and a myriad of childhood memories come flooding back to me. Snapper soup is one example; those words instantly take me back to a seafood restaurant in northeast Philadelphia. I couldn't be more than six or seven years old, and I'm sitting with my grandparents in a wood-paneled room; there are decorative oyster plates on the wall alongside Victorian valentines. My grandfather is drinking a Harvey Wallbanger and orders snapper soup to start. He offers me a taste, and it's delicious.
"What's in it?"
"Turtle, sherry, and cream."
I'm pretty sure that Lari Robling, a fellow native Philadelphian, has had a few similar experiences. Endangered Recipes is an incredible collection of vintage recipes from another era. These recipes come from the stained index cards and handwritten notebooks of grandmothers and aunts. They are the foods that you fondly remember from family gatherings, church basements, and potlucks. Robling has traveled all over the country seeking out people who she calls "Recipe Rescuers," who are adamantly recording and preserving the recipes that are such a integral part of their regional and family traditions.
There is a place in all of our hearts for the recipes that we grew up with, a time before we learned words like local, sustainable, and organic. The recipes in Endangered Recipes might not be the healthiest or the most cutting edge but they will satisfy a deep and very real need that we all have—tasting the foods of our childhood.
Every day this week we will share some oldies but goodies with you. Get ready for classic dishes like Smothered Pork Chops and Borscht, regional specialties, such as Pensacola Gaspachee Salad, and a few that are just plain great but have fallen out of fashion—remember Green Goddess Dressing? —Caroline Russock

New Delhi, Jan 16 (IANS) The Delhi Waveriders clinched a thriller against Mumbai Magicians in the Hockey India League match here Wednesday after opposition skipper Sandeep Singh missed a penalty stroke in the dying minutes.
The match ended at 2-1, giving the hosts their second win in as many games.
Rupiner Pal Singh and South Africa's Lloyd Norris Jones made it 2-0 for Delhi while drag-flicker Sandeep Singh pulled one back for Mumbai at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium.
But Sandeep soon became a villain when he failed to score off a stroke in the 70th minute.
The hard-fought win was Delhi's second straight one at home after they beat Punjab Warriors Monday.
They now have 10 points in their kitty.
Sardar Singh was named man of the match.
Mumbai, playing their opening match of the competition, relied more on counter attacks.
Delhi, on the other hand, were better in planning and constantly penetrated into the strike zone.
They had the bulk of the possession in the first quarter but could only find the net in the 27th minute with Rupinder Pal scoring off their second penalty corner.
The next quarter witnessed exciting play from both teams. Norris Jones, who missed easy scoring opportunities earlier, did well this time to guide the pass beyond the opposition goalkeeper in the 48th minute.
Mumbai hit back in the 50th minute on counter attack, giving them a penalty corner which Sandeep Singh converted with ease.
The matched reached its climax in the final quarter until Sandeep made a mess of the penalty stroke.
He claimed a goal after his flick landed near the goal line but the umpire quickly ruled that out.
The spectator count dropped significantly from the tournament opener here Monday but the atmosphere remained lively, thanks to a handful of fans who danced all the way.

As Americans face off over President Barack Obama's gun control proposal, The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof wants everyone to remember the saga of the gun and the goose.
In his column published yesterday, Kristof argued guns just make bad situations worse, regardless of the people involved.
To illustrate his point, Kristof tells the story of "good admirable, law-abiding people" who felt the need to draw guns over a goose.
From his column:
Take the time we gave a goose to a neighbor.
That goose would wander off to a different neighbor's property and jump into the watering trough for his sheep. The sheep owner was furious that the water would be fouled, and one time he was so fed up he threatened to shoot the goose.
He was probably just making a point, but, since he had a gun handy, he pulled it out and aimed it in the direction of the goose. Seeing this, the goose-owner (who had come to fetch his bird) saw the need to protect his property and pulled out his own gun. They faced off — over a goose!
This story, according to Kristof, "underscores the role that guns too often play in our society: an instrument not of protection but of escalation."

PRICE v. PEOPLE OF STATE OF ILLINOIS(1915)
[238 U.S. 446, 447] Mr. Trafford N. Jayne for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Lester H. Strawn and Mr. Patrick J. Lucey, Attorney General of Illinois, for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Hughes delivered the opinion of the court:
This is a writ of error to review a judgment of the supreme court of Illinois, which affirmed a judgment of the municipal court of Chicago, finding the plaintiff in error guilty of a violation of the 'pure food' statute of that state, and imposing a fine. 257 Ill. 587, 101 N. E. 196, Ann. Cas. 1914A, 1154
The violation consisted of a sale in Chicago of a preservative compound known as 'Mrs. Price's Canning Compound,' alleged to be intended as a 'preservative of food,' and to be 'unwholesome and injurious in that it contained boric acid.'
The statute (Laws of Illinois 1907, p. 543; Hurd's Rev. Stat. chap. 127b, 8 and 22) provides:
A trial by jury was waived. There was a stipulation of facts setting forth, in substance, that the defendant had sold in Chicago two packages of the preservative in question; that the compound contained 'boric acid;' that the label on the packages bore the following statement: 'It is not claimed for this compound that it contains anything of food value, but it is an antiseptic preparation, and among its many uses may be employed to prevent canned fruits and vegetables from souring and spoiling;' that the preservative was not offered for sale or sold in any food product, but only separately as a preservative; and that the defendant was accorded a hearing before [238 U.S. 446, 449] the State Food Commission pursuant to the provisions of the food law.
There was also introduced in evidence on behalf of the state an envelop, used for inclosing the compound, upon which were statements as to its uses, prices, etc. It was thus stated that the preservative could be used 'in canning all kinds of fruit,' and was 'especially valuable for corn, beans, peas,' etc. There was also the statement on the envelop that the contents 'of this package' were sufficient for 'four quarts,' and that the retail prices were from 10 cents for one 'package' to $1 for fifteen 'packages.' That was the case for the state.
A motion to dismiss was denied. The plaintiff then made an offer of proof, and thereupon it was stipulated that a witness in court, if sworn, would testify that the 'Price Canning Compound is an article of commerce, which has been sold under that distinct name for a period of years, with the ingredients and in the proportions contained in the sample taken by the Food Department, which is the subject of this suit; that it has acquired a wide reputation over a large number of states in the Union as a distinctive article, used for canning by the housewife;' that 'it is not sold to manufacturers of food or canners of food for sale;' and that 'boric acid is a constituent part of the compound and has been such during all the time that the compound has been sold.'
Objection to evidence offered that 'there is no added ingredient of any kind whatever, whether it be injurious, deleterious, or otherwise,' was sustained as not being addressed to the charge made. The defendant ( the plaintiff in error) also offered to prove 'that boric acid is not injurious to health or to the human system,' and that the 'Price Canning Compound is not adulterated or mislabeled in any way.' The offer was rejected, and the defendant excepted. In response to a further offer, it was conceded that the witness, if placed upon the stand, would [238 U.S. 446, 450] testify that the compound 'is an article of commerce, sold in Illinois in the original package manufactured in Minnesota.'
Upon this state of the record, the contention of the plaintiff in error that the statute was inapplicable, or, if applicable, was repugnant to the Constitution of the state, and to the commerce clause and the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitution, was overruled.
The supreme court of the state thus construed the statute:
The plaintiff in error challenges the correctness of this construction, but this question is simply one of local law with which we are not concerned. We accept the decision of the supreme court of the state as to the meaning of the statute, and, in the light of this construction, the validity of the act under the Federal Constitution must be determined. Missouri P. R. Co. v. Nebraska, 164 U.S. 403, 414 , 41 S. L. ed. 489, 494, 17 Sup. Ct. Rep. 130; W. W. Cargill Co. v. Minnesota, 180 U.S. 452, 466 , 45 S. L. ed. 619, 925, 21 Sup. Ct. Rep. 423; Lindsley v. Natural Carbonic Gas Co. 220 U.S. 61, 73 , 55 S. L. ed. 369, 375, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 337, Ann. Cas. 1912C, 160; Purity Extract Tonic Co. v. Lynch, 226 U.S. 192, 198 , 57 S. L. ed. 184, 186, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 44.
The first Federal question is presented by the contention that the statute, as applied, effects a deprivation of property without due process of law and a denial of the equal protection of the laws, contrary to the 14th Amendment.
The state has undoubted power to protect the health of its people and to impose restrictions having reasonable relation to that end. The nature and extent of restrictions of this character are matters for the legislative judgment in defining the policy of the state and the safeguards required. In the avowed exercise of this power, the legislature of Illinois has enacted a prohibition-as the statute is [238 U.S. 446, 452] construed-against the sale of food preservatives containing boric acid. And unless this prohibition is palpably unreasonable and arbitrary we are not at liberty to say that it passes beyond the limits of the state's protective authority. Powell v. Pennsylvania, 127 U.S. 678, 686 , 32 S. L. ed. 253, 257, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 992, 1257; Crowley v. Christensen, 137 U.S. 86, 91 , 34 S. L. ed. 620, 623, 11 Sup. Ct. Rep. 13; Holden v. Hardy, 169 U.S. 366, 395 , 42 S. L. ed. 780, 792, 18 Sup. Ct. Rep. 383; Capital City Dairy Co. v. Ohio, 183 U.S. 238, 246 , 46 S. L. ed. 171, 175, 22 Sup. Ct. Rep. 120; Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11, 25 , 49 S. L. ed. 643, 649, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 358, 3 Ann. Cas. 765; New York ex rel. Silz v. Hesterberg, 211 U.S. 31, 39 , 53 S. L. ed. 75, 79, 29 Sup. Ct. Rep. 10; McLean v. Arkansas, 211 U.S. 539, 547 , 53 S. L. ed. 315, 319, 29 Sup. Ct. Rep. 206; Chicago, B. & Q. R. Co. v. McGuire, 219 U.S. 549, 569 , 55 S. L. ed. 328, 339, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 259; Purity Extract & Tonic Co. v. Lynch, 226 U.S. 192, 198 , 57 S. L. ed. 184, 186, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 44; Hammond Packing Co. v. Montana, 233 U.S. 331, 333 , 58 S. L. ed. 985, 987, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 596. The contention of the plaintiff in error could be granted only if it appeared that by a consensus of opinion the preservative was unquestionably harmless with respect to its contemplated uses; that is, that it indubitably must be classed as a wholesome article of commerce so innocuous in its designed use and so unrelated in any way to any possible danger to the public health that the enactment must be considered as a merely arbitrary interference with the property and liberty of the citizen. It is plainly not enough that the subject should be regarded as debatable. If it be debatable, the legislature is entitled to its own judgment, and that judgment is not to be superseded by the verdict of a jury upon the issue which the legislature has decided. It is not a case where the legislature has confined its action to the prohibition of that which is described in general terms as unwholesome or injurious, leaving the issue to be determined in each case as it arises. The legislature is not bound to content itself with general directions when it considers that more detailed measures are necessary to attain a legitimate object. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. v. Georgia, 234 U.S. 280, 288 , 58 S. L. ed. 1312, 1316, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 829. Legislative particularization in the exercise of protective power has many familiar illustrations. The present case is one of such particularization, where the statute-read as the [238 U.S. 446, 453] state court reads it-especially prohibits preservatives containing boric acid. The legislature thus expressed its judgment, and it is sufficient to say, without passing upon the opinions of others adduced in argument, that the action of the legislature cannot be considered to be arbitrary. Its judgment appears to have sufficient support to be taken out of that category. See Hipolite Egg Co. v. United States, 220 U.S. 45, 51 , 55 S. L. ed. 364, 365, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 364; Circular No. 15 (June 23, 1904), Bureau of Chemistry; Food Inspection Decision 76 (July 13, 1907); Bulletin ( December 31, 1914), Bureau of Chemistry;-U. S. Department of Agriculture.
It is further urged that the enactment, as construed, contains an unconstitutional discrimination against the plaintiff in error, but in this aspect, again, the question is whether the classification made by the legislature can be said to be without any reasonable basis. The legislature is entitled to estimate degrees of evil, and to adjust its legislation according to the exigency found to exist. And, applying familiar principle, it cannot be said that the legislature exceeded the bounds of reasonable discretion in classification when it enacted the prohibition in question relating to foods and compounds sold as food preservatives. Ozan Lumber Co. v. UnionCounty Nat. Bank, 207 U.S. 251, 256 , 52 S. L. ed. 195, 197, 28 Sup. Ct. Rep. 89; Heath & M. Mfg. Co. v. Worst, 207 U.S. 338, 354 , 52 S. L. ed. 236, 243, 28 Sup. Ct. Rep. 114; Lindsley v. Natural Carbonic Gas Co. 220 U.S. 61, 78 , 55 S. L. ed. 369, 377, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 337, Ann. Cas. 1912C, 160; Mutual Loan Co. v. Martell, 222 U.S. 225, 235 , 56 S. L. ed. 175, 179, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 74, Ann. Cas. 1913B, 529; Eberle v. Michigan, 232 U.S. 700, 706 , 58 S. L. ed. 803, 806, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 464; Keokee Consol. Coke Co. v. Taylor, 234 U.S. 224, 227 , 58 S. L. ed. 1288, 1289, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 856; Miller v. Wilson, 236 U.S. 373, 383 , 384 S., 59 L. ed. --, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 342. We find no ground for holding the statute to be repugnant to the 14th Amendment.
The remaining contention is that the statute as applied violates the commerce clause. Treating the article as one on a footing with adulterated food, the power of the state to prohibit sales within its borders is broadly asserted on its behalf. On the other hand, the plaintiff in error insists that the compound is not an adulterated [238 U.S. 446, 454] food, and was not charged to be such, but was an article of commerce manufactured in another state; and that whatever may be the power of the state of Illinois over manufacture and sale apart from interstate commerce, the state could not prohibit its introduction and sale in the course of interstate commerce. It is not necessary, however, to deal with the question in the scope thus suggested. The sole ground for invoking the commerce clause in order to escape the restrictions of the state law is sought to be found in the doctrine with respect to sales in original packages. Brown v. Maryland, 12 Wheat. 419, 6 L. ed. 678; Leisy v. Hardin, 135 U.S. 100 , 34 L. ed. 128, 3 Inters. Com. Rep. 36, 10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 681; Schollenberger v. Pennsylvania, 171 U.S. 1, 22 , 23 S., 43 L. ed. 49, 57, 18 Sup. Ct. Rep. 75. The record, however, is wholly insufficient to support the contention. The stipulation of facts read in evidence by the state set forth that the defendant had sold in Chicago 'two packages' of the compound. The state then introduced in evidence an 'envelop used for inclosing the compound.' This, among other things, bore a statement that the content of 'this package is sufficient for four quarts.' And it set forth prices as follows: 'Retail Price. 1 Package, 10c. 3 Packages, 25c. 7 Packages, 50c. 15 Packages, $1.' The clear inference from this evidence was that the compound was offered for sale at retail in small packages (in envelops) suitable for the consumer. The defendant made an offer of proof, and in lieu of the offered testimony it was conceded that the witness, if sworn, would testify that the compound mentioned in the statement of claim 'is an article of commerce sold in Illinois, in the original package manufactured and made in Minnesota.' As to the nature of the package, nothing more was shown. All that was admitted was entirely consistent with the view that the original package referred to was simply the small package in the envelop which the state had described, and no error can be charged to the state court in so regarding it. Nothing appeared as to the character [238 U.S. 446, 455] of the shipment from Minnesota to Illinois, and it would be wholly unjustifiable to assume that, in commercial shipments into the state, the small package was segregated or separately introduced. If these small packages were associated in their shipment into the state, as they naturally would be, and were subsequently sold separately or in various lots, these separate packages, although respectively in the original envelops, would not be classed as 'original packages' within the rule invoked, so as to escape the local law governing domestic transactions. We have repeatedly so held, in cases not materially different in this respect. Austin v. Tennessee, 179 U.S. 343 , 45 L. ed. 224, 21 Sup. Ct. Rep. 132; Cook v. Marshall County, 196 U.S. 261 , 49 L. ed. 471, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 233; Purity Extract & Tonic Co. v. Lynch, 226 U.S. 192 , 199-201, 57 L. ed. 184, 186-188, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 44. The testimony offered by the plaintiff in error, and treated as received, taken in connection with what had already been proved as to the character of the packages put up for retail sale, fell far short of the proof required to constitute a defense upon the ground that the state law, otherwise valid, was applied in contravention of the commerce clause.
It should be added that no question is presented in the present case as to the power of Congress to make provision with respect to the immediate containers (as well as the larger receptacle in which the latter are shipped) of articles prepared in one state and transported to another, so as suitably to enforce its regulations as to interstate trade. McDermott v. Wisconsin, 228 U.S. 115, 135 , 57 S. L. ed. 754, 767, 47 L.R.A.( N.S.) 984, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 431. It does not appear that the state law as here applied is in conflict with any Federal rule.

A Brother's Tribute
Bill, Amelia, Aidan, and Father Kevin, thank you again for a beautiful service and your dedication to this family. As I look out to the crowd this morning I see many loving and familiar faces that produce a memory for me personally and my family. For those in the audience that do not know me, my name is Keith Mayer and I am the youngest of Michelle's four brothers or as Michelle always referred to as "The Keither". On behalf of the Mayer family, Michelle's parents Jim and Claire, her brothers Anthony, Jimmy and Mark, I want to express what we feel to those who mourn with us today in this Church and back in Philadelphia. We loved her as a sister, as a mother and as a daughter and I stand here today with great pride and energy to eulogize my outstanding sister.
In order to convey her daily struggles with family, friends, and the world, Michelle authored a daily blog which illustrated in acutely articulate writing her thoughts and translations of fond memories of the past, the unpredictable present, and her hope for the future. To me, this blog will forever serve as Michelle's memoirs - the stories are vast, the writing eloquent but yet the lessons simple. On every entry, Michelle never stopped teaching. Whether or not it was her intent in those entries I don't know, but her sentences led to paragraphs of life's happenings and the reasons behind those happenings and what can be learned as she would convey this in simple stories so that any reader can comprehend and apply to their daily life. Michelle's writing centered upon childhood memories of growing up in Philadelphia, picking buttercups with Uncle Snowy, her fabulous high school years and the lifetime friends she made during those four years, conversations and specific memories with Bill, Amelia and Aidan, the goodness of our parents, Bill's grandfather Mel, Watson the dog, and many others. But on July 14th there was an entry that touched me deeply entitled Nothing Gold Can Stay:
The entry spoke of a day at Emerald Isle, off the coast of North Carolina, and how the day was a serenely beautiful moment where the kids were carefree, Bill and Michelle were in each other's embrace, and it was at this point when Michelle lifted her head from Bill's shoulder and recited the words of Robert Frost:
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour,
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay,
Michelle's lesson in this blog entry was clear - golden moments don't last and that's why they are golden.
When I think about gold I think about its brilliance and luster, but also the rareness of gold. In my sister those same qualities were nurtured at a very early age. It is of no secret for at least anyone that held a conversation with Michelle or read any of her writings that she was clearly brilliant. I, on many occasions, would have to interrupt conversations to reference a dictionary to figure out exactly what she was saying to the point where the conversation would cease because Michelle would lose her train of thought in addition to her patience waiting for me to get up to speed. Further, her intelligence was so great that she didn't realize she had the ability to clear out a whole dining room as her and my father would go head to head on any issue, and I mean any issue. They would argue over why one fork would shine brighter than another; an exaggeration, but clearly a golden moment. But the rareness found in gold that generates its luster surely flowed through Michelle much the same way. Michelle gave us strength in HER time of trouble, wisdom in HER time of uncertainty, and courage in HER time of need; she will always be by our side.
During Michelle's suffering I would ponder a simple question to myself over and over again, Where is God? When a wife in her prime and a mother of two could be forced to suffer such a grueling disease rather than the glorious freedom to digest all the great things about life without any interference: Where is God?; and every time I had the same answer - I don't know. But when I think about it further and I reminiscence about the doctors clearly telling Michelle that it would not be in her best interest to get pregnant, that she would not be able to handle it, that her body would battle her all during the process and placing herself in grave danger. Well, her body did battle her and Michelle won. So, every time I lay my eyes on Amelia and Aidan I say to myself "there's God" and every time I lay my eyes on my brother-in-law Bill, who's endless, tireless, unstoppable dedication for my sister remained constant and his resolve to love her to death do us part … again I say "there's God".
In Michelle's suffering and death, I witnessed what people are capable of; the goodness that exists in everyone flourished during Michelle's time of need, Bill's time of need, Amelia and Aidan's time of need; people taking care of each other for no other reason than it was the right thing to; it is important for us to talk about that good, to remember that good. I saw my sister surrounded by a community that displayed love, kindness, care, friendship and sacrifice of time to assist in any way possible. In Michelle's death I am proud and humbled by the people present today that embraced all those qualities, because in the end it is always important for us to remember that standing together as a people, a human race, we can do amazing things and that is what I saw with this community and it should never be forgotten by each and every one of us as our lives continue.
My sister needs to be remembered as having a predominance of courage over timidity who, with the help of Bill, saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw disease and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved her and pay tribute to her today pray that what she was to us a loving wife, a doted mother, a beloved daughter, an admired sister, a charismatic relative, and an inspirational friend will someday come to pass for everyone as an example of strength in the human spirit and the endless bounds that spirit can stretch. As I reflect on conversations with Michelle over the years and her writings, and for every one she sought to touch and who sought to touch her, I mirror her philosophy towards life in the words of George Bernard Shaw "some people see things as they are and ask why, Michelle dreamed things that never were and asked why not?"

May God embrace and hold you tight. You have created a piece that describes Michelle in the light that I saw her. As with everyone in her life I learned and grew to become more open minded and cautious about where I am spending my energy. Michelle helped us all feel like taking on the responsibility of living life. She is a gift from God that was sent to open and warm hearts. I dearly miss her. Now she is free. Free from suffering. Free to be an angel to her adoring family. You are all in my heart and prayers.
God bless you and your family,

I just heard your story on KYW and wanted to express my sympathies for your loss. I had been a friend of the family from years ago, but never had the pleasure of meeting Michelle. She certainly was a remarkable woman. My prayers are with you.

I typed in the Google search box, "choose to see," and this is where I came. What a perspective on life Michelle had! No matter what her struggles life presented, she had an unfailing way of allowing the expression of love of her family, self and life to shine through when anyone looking in could have winced from the emotional pain. I thank Michelle for her writings, but I thank you for sharing the post you wrote to share your eulogy of such a beautiful soul. What an encouragement to reach beyond my own emotional suffering and choose to see the beauty in life!

Thank you for leaving this up. Today I woke up to a beautiful fall day in Texas, thinking, what would I do if this was my last day on earth? I wrote out a list and am determined to see it through. I stumbled on this blog and amazing entry after looking up various interpretations to Joni Mitchell's Hejira - one of Michelle's lovely entries. Wisdom, art and beauty never die. Obviously Michelle and her family had - and have - this in spades. Thank you again.

Linux Desktop Environment
The Desktop is an environment. When the Desktop appears as the computer session begins hundreds of programs and settings work together to provide the working environment for each user. In other words, when you turn on a computer the working area that is viewable is the Desktop. All graphical operating systems have an environment which they create, Windows, Mac or Linux. Understanding the purpose and design of the Desktop is an important aspect of employing the Desktop to work for you and with you.
Desktop Components
The Linux system can either run with the graphical user interface which is the interface that allows users to see images and text. Or the Linux system can run only in text mode which allows you to do everything faster and more efficiently but requires extensive knowledge of Linux commands and programs. Each option can compliment the other. In fact, many users find it more productive to use both interfaces.
The GUI, graphical user interface, gives you a background which you can change, icons which are links to programs, and visual aids which are available for word processing, image manipulation, spreadsheets, etc. The GUI uses images to help the user make decisions as to how to use the operating system through the use of icons. This process is intuitive, meaning for the most part if a user sees a series of options in button form they instantly realize that these represents options to programs. This intuitive process makes it much easier in terms of training as most computer aware users can easily pick this up rapidly.
The text mode has no hints through the use of icons, or arrows, etc. The user must know the commands necessary to accomplish each task. For a new Linux user the aspect of understanding even a fraction of the 10,000 Linux commands with variations is overwhelming. However, every Linux user must be able to use 10-20 commands so the command line still is important in Linux.
The graphical interface of Ubuntu 8.04 opens to the Desktop. This is where everything will start for the user. Desktop icons provide shortcuts to programs that are commonly used and the bar across the bottom of the desktop includes minimized programs, a place to change to another workspace, minimize all programs and a trash can. On the top of the Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron desktop you will see another grey panel that includes a full Gnome main menu to the left broken up into three sections Applications, Places, and System. The main menu contains access to most of the applications computer locations and system commands that are needed with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Also on top are icons that link to Firefox 3.0, Evolution, and help. To the right of the top panel is a clock and numerous shortcut icons including a red power icon which allows the user to log out, lock screen, switch user, hibernate, restart or shutdown. Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron includes Gnome 2.22 which offers a sleek environment to operate in along with many new features.
Note that much effort goes into creating icons which are intuitive, for example the Evolution mail program link is represented by an envelope. The terms "Applications", "Places" and "System" are self descriptive terms which help a user understand immediately the basic concept behind each of the terms.
Another important concept in terms of the Desktop environment is that it is a flexible environment. Each aspect of the Desktop is able to be manipulated and configured in a way that is most effective for the user.

Opeth Tickets
|Although we have run out of Opeth Tickets, we would like to invite you to view tickets in the following places
Details of Opeth and the Ticket Luck value
Opeth is a name of a Swedish heavy metal band, being an important name in the world of music, right from its formation in the year of 1990 in the capitol of Stockholm. The band has gone through a series of changes, with regard to its members.
There is a one particular member, whom the band owes a credit for many of the things, named Mikael ?kerfeldt, he is singer, guitarist, and songwriter has remained Opeth's great power almost from the beginning of the band.
Opeth can best be defined as a band, which has firm roots in Scandinavian death metal. The band has continuously experimented with the fusion of progressive music, folk, blues rock and jazz into their generally very lengthy songs.
There are many compositions, formed by acoustic guitar interludes and strong dynamic shifts, along with both growling and clean vocals. Interestingly, they had such rare tours, to support their first four albums. In fact, Opeth had conducted the first world tour after the 2001 release of Blackwater Park.
It is very important to point out that, Opeth has released nine studio albums, two live albums, one box set, and one DVD, till date. The band had released its debut album titled "Orchid" in the year of 1995.
The band was unable to get the attention of the American music lovers, until the 2003 release of seventh effort Damnation which had a debut at number 192 on the Billboard 200. Opeth's ninth studio album, titled Watershed has been released on June 3, 2008, and it has entered the Billboard 200 at number 23.
According to the history of the Opeth, it was basically formed as a death metal band in the year of 1990 in Stockholm, by vocalist David Isberg. Isberg wanted to form a band and asked former Eruption band member Mikael ?kerfeldt to join the band as a bassist.
It is intersteing to tell you that ?kerfeldt was shown up to practice on the next day of Isberg"s invitation. At that time, Isberg had not cleared it to the band members that ?kerfeldt would be joining them. There was a conflict arose of the inclusion, but Isberg and ?kerfeldt left the band to form a one.
The name of the band was derived from the word "Opet", taken from the Wilbur Smith novel Sunbird, which meant "city of the moon". Isberg and ?kerfeldt had immediately recruited drummer Anders Nordin, bassist Nick D?ring, and guitarist Andreas Dimeo, for it.
Both D?ring and Dimeo had left the band after their first performance, as an indication towards the slow progress of the band.
They were replaced by guitarist Kim Pettersson and bassist Johan DeFarfalla. But controversies kept on being held, as right after the next show; DeFarfalla had left Opeth to spend time with his girlfriend in Germany.
So he was replaced by ?kerfeldt's friend, bassist Peter Lindgren. Lead guitarist Pettersson left following the band's next performance, and Lindgren switched to guitar. Isberg had lost all the interest in the band, and quitted in 1992 to join Liars in Wait.
The band had been survived with only three members, ?kerfeldt took over vocal duties, and the trio spent the next year writing and rehearsing new material.
The group began to rely less on the blast beats and aggression typical of death metal, and incorporated acoustic guitars and guitar harmonies into its music; developing the core sound of Opeth.

The purpose of this option is to prepare professional nurses for practice in a variety of health care settings. Graduates will build on their varied academic and experiential backgrounds to provide nursing care with an interdisciplinary case management focus. Strong advocacy, decision making, and planning skills are necessary for graduates to function in increasingly complex roles within the rapidly changing health care system.
The program requires two calendar years plus one semester (7 semesters which include two summers) for a total of 90 semester units. Students must enroll in the first four semesters full time. It is possible to reduce the course load to part-time after the fourth semester.
This program is offered at both our Sacramento Regional Center and our main campus in Oakland.
Graduates of the MSN entry-level program will be able to:
- Assume professional nursing roles in a variety of settings.
- Practice within an interdisciplinary framework.
- Assume roles as case managers.
- Think critically in applying the nursing process.
- Advocate for optimal health of the population and health care services.

Photoplay Frankenstein
Boris The Monster makes an unlikely appearance in the November 1931 issue of Photoplay, the leading movie fan magazine of its time, where picture space was usually reserved for Hollywood's most glamorous stars.
In stunning profile, likely shot by Universal still photographer Roman Freulich, Karloff's face shines through the heavy makeup. Perhaps the photograph was taken before final touches were applied, or it was lit in such a way as to wash out the dark paint that gave The Monster its dead-man gauntness of thin black lips, sunken cheeks and dark circles under the eyes.
Note that we see Karloff's forehead, perhaps treated with greasepaint or thin gauze. Note the brow ridge and the crown, built up separately. With The Monster's next outing, for Bride of Frankenstein in 1935, makeup man Jack Pierce would use a one-piece, full forehead rubber appliance that simplified and sped up application. Note also, that Karloff doesn't appear to be wearing the heavy eyelids that gave The Monster its menacing, lizard-like stare. The story goes that Karloff himself suggested the droopy lids, to dull The Monster's eyes. Here, the eyes are bright and intelligent.
Photoplay was launched in 1911 as a film-related fiction magazine, soon to embrace the nascent Star System and quickly evolving into a massively influential film celebrity magazine, reigning at the peak of Hollywood's Golden Age. With a writing staff that included the nation's top gossip columnists, Photoplay typically featured profiles of big name performers, with heavy emphasis on their romantic liaisons, as well as movie star fashions and beauty tips.
The issue at hand featured comedienne Ina Claire on the cover, painted by F. Earl Christy. A cover blurb warned, Don't Go Platinum Blonde Yet! Wait!. Articles included The Extra-Private Life of Marlene Dietrich, Why Women Go Crazy About Clark Gable, and a profile of firebrand "Loop-de-Lupe Velez". Though the magazine acknowledged the popularity of chillers, horror films got very little coverage in Photoplay, too grim a subject for its glamour-seeking readers. It speaks to Frankenstein's novelty and box-office clout that the film won some degree of attention from the nation's best-selling movie magazine.
Stick around, we'll look at more Frankenstein references from Photoplay over the next couple of posts.

Also interesting that the "secret" makeup was so boldly pictured (even if in an unfinished form) and that the "?" actor was so casually identified. And in a national publication the very month of the film's release.
Guess it wasn't really that hush-hush after all.

On this day — Fallout from a Texas Tribune poll that made explicit what many had already inferred; and the Senate and House budget committees will continuing hearing testimony about how budget cuts will impact services.
*Texans Back Budget Cuts…*
And they back them by a 2-1 margin over raising taxes — so sayeth the Texas Tribune/University of Texas poll that was released Monday. Texans the TT/UT poll spoke to voiced support for legalizing gambling and assorted sin taxes, like increasing the tax on alcohol, to help generate more revenue to cover the shortfall.
*… Provided They Don't Cut the Budget*
And this is where the rubber really meets the road in this survey. The pollsters took voters opinions on the budget cuts that lawmakers here in Austin are considering and their opinions aren't so sanguine.
There isn't a single proposed item on this list that gains anywhere near 50 percent support, suggesting that cutting these key programs could be politically toxic for Republicans. The problem is that the programs that they've proposed cuts to account for the vast majority of state spending. For instance, about 90 percent of Texas' general revenue is spent on public education; higher education; and Health and Human Services, which provides Medicaid for the poor and adult services for the elderly.
With a revenue shortfall that could approach $27 billion, there is no way to close that gap without taking the budget ax to education and aid to the poor.
Conservatives Keep Up Call for No New Taxes
In the light of polling that suggests that Texans meant "cut spending, just not spending to anything that actually amounts to much of anything in the state budget," conservative activists such as Empower Texans' Michael Quinn Sullivan took to the Internet to decry the result and blamed the media for the outcome:
The spin, of course, is that voters' "enthusiasm dissipates when asked if they support specific cuts."
Perhaps so, but that doesn't change the fact that those same voters want state spending reduced, and are not interested in new revenues flowing into the treasury.
If anything, the enthusiasm dissipation is owing as much to misinformation as anything else. Just consider the number of horror stories Texans are being treated to by irresponsible "journalists" being manipulated by school administrators. We are deluged almost daily with stories of major cuts to the classroom as apparently the first line of expenditure reduction
That claim seems to be countermanded by a report from Standard & Poor's, one of the nation's premier credit rating agencies, which said that significant budget cuts would do nothing to fix Texas' long term structural budget problems and could prevent the state from remaining competitive over the long term; the Statesman's Kate Alexander reports:
"We believe that a balanced approach that includes both revenue enhancements and expenditure cuts has a higher potential of success in preserving the state's long-term structural budget balance than a strategy that relies solely on expenditure cutbacks," wrote S&P credit analyst Horacio Aldrete-Sanchez in a report released last week.
Though S&P is not likely to join the Texas Forward coalition, the analyst's language mirrors that of the education groups, health and human service advocates and faith leaders that have decried the deep budget cuts.
Aldrete-Sanchez also emphasized that the state's budget hole is not a one-time problem that will go away as the economy improves.
"In our view, the state's budget imbalance is likely to reappear or persist beyond the upcoming biennium unless other sources of revenue or additional budgetary flexibility are identified to fill this growing funding gap," the analysis continues.

Too Many Remotes, Not Enough Time!
A friend of mine put this photo on Facebook one night with the quote, "..and I can't find the remote I need to turn down the freakin' sound bar!!!"
Even though we are techies, haven't you had similar moments and frustrations? I have yet to find a great, intuitive, easy-to-use solution to solve the problem of multiple remotes.
Is managing your wireless and wired networks something like using multiple remotes? Do you have one management solution for the wired network, one for the wireless network; one policy and security application for BYOD, one for wired devices, and the list goes on.
Take this quiz to see if you've got too many remotes:
- Are users experiencing inconsistent services and experiences in different locations, across different networks, because of disparate underlying technologies and the rise of high-bandwidth, non-critical mobile apps?
- Do you have multiple and disparate management platforms (wired, wireless, VPN, guest access) making problems hard to find and resolve, and maintenance a resource drain?
- Are you maintaining multiple access control lists for remote access, guest access, wireless access, campus buildings or floors, or branch locations?
If you have answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, then you should come to Interop New York, October 1-5 and join us at Booth 221 to learn about Cisco Unified Access. Next week, you'll hear and see a lot about what Cisco is doing to bring you closer to unifying your networks.
Here's a short rundown of what you can expect:

Headlining this week's Association of the Louisville Orchestra (ALO) parties for A La Carte (to benefit the orchestra) was Dinner at the Green Room. The Green Room is the banquet room at the commissary of the new "G meals on demand and to go,†owned by John Shaw Woo. Founded with the concept of providing healthy meals at affordable prices, G Meals is finding more and more corporate and individual customers all over town.
Gathering for cocktails were June Creek, Jo Ann Gammon, Nancy and David Laird, LaDonna and Larry Shapin, Terri and Steve Bass, Jeanne James and Dennis Hesthaven, John Johnson and his daughter Shay, Emma Birk and John King, Ed Schadt, Christy Kramer, Carolyn and David Neustadt, Karen and Ken Sales and Shaio Woo among others.
Between JoAnn and Nancy it's not known which one works harder to make A La Carte a success, but they have been at it a long time and are very much appreciated for their efforts. At the Green Room it was stormy outside but warm and fuzzy inside.
One of Louisville's most generous, Sam Swope, hosted another of his gala parties to celebrate yet another of his fundraising motorcycle rides through the countryside, by scores of his friends from all over. They ride for the pure joy of riding, and to raise money for KOSAIR Charities. This year's ride was on Sunday up to Maker's Mark at Loretto, Ky., where Bill Samuels hosted a reception and tour for the group.
The party was held at Sam's new Lexus dealership on Blankenbaker Parkway. Since Sam officially retired at the end of last year, it probably should be said that the event was held by Sam, at the dealership where Patti Swope is the Board Chair and Dick Swope is the president and CEO.
It takes a big man to turn his business, the Swope Auto Group, over to the next generation, but Patti and Dick have been at it a long time and are up to the challenge. And, they have learned a lot about generosity from Sam. It was recently announced that the Swope Auto Group is the title sponsor of the Heuser Hearing Institute's Sound Beginnings Breakfast on Thursday, September 20, and Sam is the event's Honorary Chairman. The Institute's Hearing & Language Academy is a preschool for hearing impaired children, and has never turned away a child because of the family's inability to pay tuition. A lot of Louisvillians are grateful to a lot of Swopes.
Sullivan University's National Center for hospitality Studies will honor Chef Paul Virant of Chicago's Perennial Virant with the Distinguished Visiting Chef award on Thursday, Aug. 9.
As recipient of the award, Chef Virant will present on-campus cooking demonstrations in addition to a question-and-answer session held exclusively for Sullivan University students. He will also sign copies of his book, "The Preservation Kitchen: The Craft of Making and Cooking with Pickles, Preserves, and Aigre-doux.†Aigre-doux means bitter-sweet. (I looked it up.)
According to his bio, Paul Virant is the chef and owner of Michelin-star restaurant Vie in Western Springs, Ill. and Perennial Virant in Chicago. He credits his grandmothers, both avid canners, for instilling in him a reverence for local ingredients and serving as the inspiring force behind his becoming a chef.
He has a national reputation and has garnered regional and national attention, including a three-star review by Phil Vettel of the Chicago Tribune and a spot on Gayot's list of top 40 Resturants in the U.S.

LAN Airlines receives first Boeing 787 Dreamliner in the Americas
• The Company celebrated the arrival of the first of 32 new aircraft that will join its fleet over the next ten years with an event at the Boeing factory near Seattle
• LAN also unveiled the new Premium Business and Economy cabins featured in the 787 and 767 long haul fleet inspired by warm colors and tones of South America and the latest in-flight comfort and technology.
•Santiago, Buenos Aires, Lima, Los Angeles, Madrid and Frankfurt, will be the first cities the LAN 787 will start flying to. These routes will gradually integrate during the aircraft's first year of service.
LAN Airlines, one of Latin America's leading passenger and cargo airlines, today became the first airline in the Americas (and one of the first in the world) to receive the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Equipped with the latest technology, the aircraft will revolutionize the airline industry.
LAN will receive 32 of this new aircraft over the next ten years, with the first three to be delivered this year. The $4.9 billion order represents one of the largest investments in the airline's history.
Top LAN executives, Boeing representatives, and authorities celebrated the delivery of LAN's first 787 at an event at the Boeing factory near Seattle including LAN Airlines CEO Ignacio Cueto. The LAN team directly involved in the project was recognized in addition to the over 1,000 team members who were trained over the past two and a half years especially for the delivery and operation of the aircraft.
LAN Airlines' CEO, Ignacio Cueto, stressed the importance of the delivery for the Company and celebrated the benefits this aircraft will have both for the regional aviation industry and the travel experience of passengers:
"LAN is proud to be the first airline in the Americas to receive the 787 Dreamliner," said Ignacio Cueto, CEO LAN Airlines. "This is not only a milestone for LAN, but also for all of our passengers that will experience an enhanced LAN in-flight experience thanks to the cutting edge technology and visionary elements of this new aircraft. The Dreamliner will make it possible for us to cover greater distances in a more environmentally conscious and highly efficient aircraft which will help ensure our sustainable growth".
"LAN has clearly become the leader in aviation in Latin America and across the globe due to its strong leadership, unrivaled customer service, and commitment to technology and innovation," said Van Rex Gallard, Vice President of Sales for Latin America, Africa, & Caribbean, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The addition of the 787 to the LAN fleet will help them maintain that leadership edge by increasing their global presence and bringing a new and exciting flying experience to more passengers in more locations around the world."
Peter Turner, Customer Vice President, Civil Aerospace, Rolls Royce stated: "We are proud to support such a significant moment both for LAN and air transport in the Americas. The Trent 1000, designed exclusively for this aircraft, offers exceptional financial and environmental benefits and we look forward to playing our part in providing another excellent customer entry into service with this engine".
The first cities served by the LAN fleet of 787s are Santiago, Buenos Aires, Lima, Los Angeles, Madrid, and Frankfurt. The aircraft will begin to fly commercially over the next few months, and these routes will be added gradually during its first year of operation.
As part of LAN's continual innovation process and concern for giving its passengers the best possible travel experience, the Company has applied the latest in design trends to the 787 cabin with a focus on a comfortable experience with the charm of South America. These have been inspired by the warm colors and textures of South America and reflect the attention to detail, reliability, and warmth that characterize the Company.
One of the new features offered in the new Premium Business class cabin is a 100% horizontal full flat seat with the same dimensions of our current seat that includes: an ottoman (feet support), a memory system that records the seat position chosen by the user, apart from lumbar massage.
The new Economy class features reclining ergonomic seats, which have a head support with 4 positions along with bright warm colored blankets and head-sets that invoke the chromatic tonalities of South America.
The cabin configuration aboard LAN's first 787-8 will be 217 seats in Economy and 30 seats in Premium Business.
Entertainment onboard the LAN 787
In terms of onboard entertainment, passengers traveling on the LAN Boeing 787 will enjoy new features including high-definition screens using the latest touch technology (9" in Economy and 15.4" in Premium Business) and new data ports compatible with Apple® devices, tablets, cell phones, digital cameras, and USB devices.
The new travel experience on board LAN's Boeing 787
Committed to caring for our customers and the environment, this aircraft offers:
• An innovative, modern and harmonious design.
• With electronic auto-dimming windows and dynamic lighting to create a better atmosphere. Thus, preparing the passenger for the different stages during the flight (day, night, etc.), and for the time zone to which it is arriving.
• Larger windows: the windows of this aircraft have up to 40% more surface area than current windows, which will allow all passengers (in all rows) more visibility during the flight, giving them a better view.
• Overhead bins with 30% more storage space for carryon luggage.
• The aerodynamics of the Boeing 787 incorporate technology that reduces the impact felt by the passenger due to turbulence. In addition, the pressurization of the cabin to a lower altitude (6,000 feet instead of 8,000) would result in the reduction of headaches or other symptoms a passenger might experience when flying.
• The cabin includes new air humidification techniques, significantly reducing fatigue and dryness associated with long trips.
• The passenger may have a more enjoyable trip thanks to the technology in their engines that make them less noisy from both inside and outside the aircraft.
Some of the environmental benefits of the 787
• An emission of up to 20% less of CO2 than similar aircraft.
• Up to 40% less noise footprint than similar aircraft on takeoff, the period of greatest noise in flight.
• 50% of the structure is a carbon fiber composite material, which makes it a first in the industry, this material being more resistant to fatigue and corrosion. This allows, moreover, that the manufacturing process will produce less non-recyclable waste.
About the engine for LAN 787 fleet
• The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 has been designed and optimized exclusively for operation on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. In October 2011, it became the first engine to power the 787 Dreamliner in service. New technologies in aerodynamics, materials and coatings were incorporated to support Boeing's low emissions requirement.

Rockford Bank & Trust is moving from its original location on North Wyman Street to the Stewart Square Building, 308 W. State Street.
Rockford Bank & Trust opened Jan. 3, 2005 in the Morrissey Building, which decades ago was home to the old Rockford Morning Star. The bank marketed itself at first as Rockford's downtown bank.
Less than a year after opening though RB&T built a new bank branch on headquarters on Guilford and Alpine roads and moved most of its operations to that location.
Of course, the Register Star reported in August that the Morrissey Building is being foreclosed on. The building is owned by Morrissey Realty Group, which is principally owned by Joseph Morrissey, father of Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey. Morrissey Realty Group owes more than $1.4 million on two loans taken out in 2005 before the Great Recession sent residential and commercial property values plummeting.
Charlie Bullock, chief operating officer of Rockford Bank & Trust, said the move has nothing to do with the foreclosure case.
"At the downtown branch we deal with depositors and safe deposit boxes. We love the building, but we don't need that much space," Bullock said. "At the Stewart Square Building we're going to have about 1,200 square feet. It's several thousand square feet at the current location."
Bullock said RB&T's lease expires in 2014 so they decided to move to a more cost-effective location. In Stewart Square, the branch will be across the hall from the Rockford Chamber of Commerce. The bank plans to begin business in the new location in the first week of February.
In any case, it is likely not a positive development for the Morrissey Realty Group to lose a paying tenant during a foreclosure. The Register Star called George Hampilos, who is representing the Morrissey Group in the foreclosure, for an update on the case, but he has not returned the call.

Toews held out of scrimmage for precautionary reasonby Brian Hedger / Chicago Blackhawks
|Chase Agnello-Dean / Chicago Blackhawks
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Chicago Blackhawks went through their first day of scrimmaging at training camp on Friday at Notre Dame's Compton Family Ice Arena without captain Jonathan Toews.
After he went through a practice session with his assigned group in the morning, the decision to pull him from the scrimmage was made in order to rest an undisclosed lower-body injury.
"He practiced this morning and [being] precautionary, we kept him off for the game," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "It's not serious, but we decided we'd give him a little [time], see how he is [Saturday] and maybe give him a couple days off the ice."
Toews completed all of the off-ice conditioning tests on Wednesday. According to Quenneville, the injury didn't just happen at camp.
"I think it was kind of bugging him before, but he went through everything [Thursday] and today and felt not bad, but we said, 'Hey, let's be smart about it,'" Quenneville said.
Replacing Toews at center on the white team's top line was rookie Brandon Pirri -- who's in contention for a roster spot after leading the American Hockey League in points for the Rockford IceHogs last season. Pirri was just as surprised as anybody in the arena when he didn't see Toews on the ice before the opening puck drop.
Icehogs coach Ted Dent, who was manning the bench for Pirri's team, broke the news soon afterward.
"I was sitting on the bench and the ref was sitting at the faceoff [dot] and we had four guys out there," Pirri said. "So [Dent] kicked me and said, 'Get out there.' So I just ran out there."
Pirri is one of the candidates for what appears to be a vacancy playing between stars Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa on the second line. Rookie Drew LeBlanc and 20-year old Brandon Saad are a couple of other horses in the field.
While Saad and LeBlanc traded shifts playing with Sharp and Hossa on the red team, Pirri played exclusively with Bryan Bickell and Patrick Kane in place of Toews, scoring a goal and not looking overmatched.
"Those are two talented guys," Pirri said. "It was a fun opportunity. You've just got to give a guy like [Kane] the puck and get open and [Bickell] just creates room for everyone, so it was a lot of fun."
Hossa and Sharp, whose team played in both scrimmages, led the stat sheet, setting each other up for goals, with Hossa adding a second tally in the first scrimmage. Kane also found the back of the net.

Google sees bright future in wearable devices
SAN FRANCISCO — For years, Silicon Valley has predicted that wearable devices would be the next big thing.
And they are — in Silicon Valley.
Elsewhere, consumers haven't shown a lot of interest in the futuristic devices, which still can't do much more than the average smartphone.
But with hardware makers preparing to roll out Android watches — LG is making the G Watch, and Motorola, the Moto 360 — Google is betting the wearable revolution is now much closer at hand.
SHINAL: Google I/O - Apple on their minds
At Google I/O, the annual conference for software developers that kicks off Wednesday, Google will try to entice developers to build apps — and tailor old apps — for this new generation of devices.
GOOGLE I/O: More women developers to attend
Developers will get their first chance to try Android Wear, Google's new operating system for wearable devices, at the conference. And Google is expected to show off what a smart watch can do with a simple flick of the wrist, a glance or a voice command.
Splashy conferences that draw thousands of developers from around the globe are crucial for Google and rival Apple, which compete for the time and attention of software developers.
Developers dream up the apps that get consumers to buy devices. Apple held its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month in San Francisco.
"Unless an ecosystem of apps is there, it's hard for consumers to justify spending money on these gadgets," said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel. "These companies have to create an ecosystem that makes the hardware a necessity for consumers."
Of all the areas in which Apple and Google compete, wearables has emerged as a key battleground. Growth is slowing in smartphones and tablets, and technology giants are searching for "the next big cash cow," Milanesi said.
Apple, which is under pressure to produce another trendsetting hit, is expected to bring out its own smart watch this fall. Bloggers have nicknamed it the "iWatch."
Both Apple and Google are targeting one of the most promising areas for wearable devices: tracking health and fitness data for consumers.
At its developer conference in early June, Apple announced HealthKit, which collects and shares health and fitness data from various apps and wearable devices. It also announced an app called Health to monitor that data on the iPhone. Google is expected to roll out a similar service at I/O.
Wearable devices are part of a broader effort by Google to extend Android beyond smartphones and tablets. The company sold limited quantities of its $1,500 Web-connected eyewear Glass to the public in April. It's also developing a smart contact lens to measure blood-sugar levels in diabetics.
At I/O, Google is expected to unveil the first product to come out of the Open Automotive Alliance, a consortium led by Google that includes Audi, General Motors, Honda Motor and others. Expanding Android into cars will compete with CarPlay, technology Apple released earlier this year.
In January, Google took aim at Internet-connected home devices when it paid $3.2 billion in cash for Nest Labs, which makes home gadgets such as thermostats and smoke alarms. Last week, Nest bought video-monitoring and home security start-up Dropcam for $550 million in cash.
"Google wants to make sure that they are present in our lives: in the living room with Nest, in the driverless car, on wearable devices and on tablets and phones" Milanesi said.
Analysts say this big push into wearable devices could broaden their appeal with consumers. But so far, it remains a nascent market.
Some 2.8 million wearable devices, including smart watches and fitness trackers, were shipped in the first quarter, according to ABI research. By way of comparison, 300 million smartphones were shipped in that same period.
Android is the world's most popular mobile software, powering more than 1.2 billion phones and driving users to the company's wildly profitable search engine and advertising business. Investors have high hopes that wearable devices could be a future source of revenue.
Shares have risen ahead of Google I/O. But year to date, they are trading up 3%, lagging the S&P.
"People are targeting large numbers for the wearables space," said BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis. "This market may take longer to grow than some investors think."
