Our story begins one day in London, 1894…
A wife takes their drunk husband away fom the pub in an effort to bring him home. Needless to say, this is not going to be as easy as it looks… and when are things ever easy when someone is intoxicated?
It's dark, quiet, and mysterious - an all too common story attachment with these places.
Mr. Hansen has spent all his money, her money, mind you, on things to make him happy. If she only knew… I'm certain she just might. This is certainly not a pleasant couple to see in distress. Let's hope things don't go bad.

Subject: FINAL UPDATE - Liberty Alliance in Palo Alto on Jan. 24th
With the list moderator's permission. Thank you.
The final update of the Liberty Alliance developer event includes
confirmation that Hellmuth Broda, CTO EMEA, Sun Microsystems, will be
giving the business policy presentation. This presentation will
highlight issues of privacy and business considerations relative to
identity. Broda's presentation will dive deep into identity issues as
related to privacy and policy implications worldwide.
Registration for this developer and business event closes on Friday,
January 21!
Thanks and we hope to see you on the 24th.
On January 24th, at the Palo Alto Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liberty Alliance
will hold an informational event featuring tracks focusing on federated
identity management from both a developer (including Java and Linux) and
business perspective.
The Liberty Alliance Project, with over 150 member companies and
organizations from around the world, is the only global not-for-profit
organization working to advance federated identity management
specifications and identity-based Web services using open standards.
This free event will provide developers, system integrators and
businesses with information about how open federated identity management
solutions are helping enterprises address a wide range of B2B, B2E, B2C
and end-user identity management, privacy and security issues. There
will be interactive demonstrations of Liberty Alliance specifications at

Emory Bellard became one of my favorite college football coaches over the years.
When I learned of the death of the former Mississippi State and Texas A&M coach Thursday afternoon, it was met with a great deal of sadness.
Bellard was the first head coach of the Bulldogs that I can remember well.
While I was in junior high school in Starkville, I found out that MSU had hired a coach who was going to bring a unique offense with him. They called his offensive formation the wishbone.
The wishbone, which is seldom used anymore, had a third running back a yard behind the quarterback and was flanked by two more running backs a few yards behind to form what appeared to be a "Y."
In that offense, the quarterback had three options after taking the snap from center. He could hand off to the fullback, keep the football to run himself, or pitch to one of the tailbacks.
The formation, similar to the two-back veer, could cause tremendous matchup problems for any defense as a player had to be assigned to the fullback, quarterback and one of the three tailbacks.
The wishbone offense became my favorite to watch, probably because of the unpredictability of it. When it is run correctly, it can be a thing of beauty and Bellard knew how to put it together. He got his chance to do that with the Bulldogs from 1979-83.
John Bond became one of the greatest quarterbacks in MSU history while running the wishbone for Bellard.
With Bellard, Bond and the bone, it created quite a bit of problems for opponents of the Bulldogs from 1980-83.
There was no telling what Bond was going to do once he got the football in his hands. He was a good enough passer that he could hit wide receivers down the field, but he also had the athletic ability to get chunks of yardage on the ground.
Critics of the wishbone said it leaned to heavily on the running game and there wasn't much passing. Bond seemed to prove that theory wrong.
Bond finished his MSU career second all-time in total offense with 2,280 yards rushing and 4,621 yards passing for a total of 6,901 yards.
It's probably safe to say that Bond wouldn't have been as productive at quarterback if it had not been for Bellard and his system.
Bellard was a good man as well as coach. He will be missed.

The actress also admitted she didn't even know if she'd be appearing in the third series of the show with Matt Smith -- the current time-travelling hero.
Loading article content
Gillan cast doubt on her future during a signing event at Hamleys toy store in Glasgow's St Enoch centre. When the 22-year-old actress from Inverness was asked if a third series was ahead of her, she said : "Who knows? I'm just taking it series by series and I'm just having fun. So, I don't know. I have no idea."
The star remained tight-lipped about the Christmas special and second series, which she is about to start filming.
"We are about to start in a week-and-a-bit on the series, which is exciting," she said. "We've finished the Christmas special so that's all in the can and it's a good one.
"It's really funny but it's also heartbreaking ... There's a really, really scary monster in the Christmas special."
Speaking about the attention from photographers she said: "It doesn't unnerve me. But it is surreal."
However, many fans and families didn't have the chance to show the young star any attention yesterday despite queuing for hours. There was anger when at least 150 fans were turned away and only 200 got in to see Gillan.
The crowd was a mixture of mums and dads with their kids and grown-up "geek" fans, mostly men, some even clad in the Doctor's trademark jacket and bow tie.
Chris Paton, 39, brought his wife Claire and sons Calum, 9 and Jamie, 5, on the 7.30am train from Largs.
The family queued outside the Hamleys store from 8.30am but were eventually turned away at around 10.30am because all the wristbands allocated to fans had gone.
Paton said: "We queued for hours then they told us no-one else was going to get in. I asked to speak to the manager of Hamleys and was told they were out.
"Then the manager appeared and just blamed the BBC for the poor organisation. I'm angry and the kids are disappointed."
For those who were lucky enough to have a place in the queue, the prospect of meeting Amy Pond was well worth the wait.
John Strathie, 45, from Grangemouth had brought along his daughter Leah, 7, to meet the star. They had been queuing since 6.45am and had been up since 4.45am in order to arrive in time. He said: "We all love the show, we watch it as a family. It's always on in our house and we gather together on the couch every Saturday teatime for the latest episode."
Julie Bisson, 32, from Jersey, is on holiday in Scotland visiting relatives, and brought along daughters Rebeckah, 11 and Caitlin, 7.
She said: "We were supposed to head back home but we hung on another day so the girls could come along. We are all massive Doctor Who fans."
Speaking about the large number of people turned away, Hamleys' manager Sam Connolly said: "We knew demand would be high, but we didn't anticipate this level of interest.
"This is the first event we have done with the BBC. Our only previous signing was with Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson and it wasn't as manic as this."
A BBC Worldwide spokesperson for the event said: "Karen is an extremely popular star and we were pleased to see her fans out in force to cheer her on. It would have been impossible to meet and greet everyone who came so to manage the event fairly we worked together with Hamleys to allocate on a first come first served basis 250 wristbands. This was advertised clearly in advance both in-store and online and staff were speaking to people in the queue for the bands to keep them updated and aware of how quickly these were going. Karen very kindly stayed for an hour longer than we had asked to ensure that fans had a good amount of time with her and overall the event was very positive with fans excited to see Karen in person."

From Race to Show and Back Again
Rob Phillips
1969 Chevrolet C-10
Long Beach, CA
Phillips & Co. Hot Rods
After spending years making other's automotive dreams come true as the project manager for the television show Overhaulin' Rob Phillips looked to make his own dream come true and opened up his own shop in Long Beach, California, Phillips & Co. Hot Rods. He knew he would need a flagship vehicle to showcase his shop's services and his talents. Thankfully, he didn't have to look very far; he had been working on redoing his 1969 Chevrolet C-10 on the side throughout the Overhaulin' builds. The truck formerly found its home on the race track and at burnout exhibitions. It was fun, but needless to say it was all go and not a lot of show. The time for an update was now and the changes came quickly with the total rebuild taking less than a year to accomplish. That year was plenty of time for Rob's shop to work its magic, after all he was used to putting out custom vehicles in 7 days!
The first step was to strip the body of its old yellow paint and stepside bed. The door handles and marker lights were shaved clean and the drip rails were molded in and smoothed out. The front and rear bumpers were smoothed out and tucked in. Up front, the headlights were from Yogi's while the rear tail lights are finely machined billet pieces with LED lights produced by Marquez Design. Finally, the C-10 was made smooth and sprayed by Lanzini Body Works in nearby Huntington Beach. The custom copper and black two tone was mixed up and sprayed using BASF RM Diamont colors before Dennis Recklefs striped the center dividing line in green and orange. While this was taking place Rob stripped the frame down and installed all new components. The rear trailing arms came courtesy of Early Classic as well as the crossmembers. The rear end was outfitted with an Auburn Posi with 3.42 gears and Early Classic axles. 6-inch drop springs and QA1 shocks bring the classic truck closer to the ground while maintaining its ride. Up front, at first, standard lowering gear was installed. But once Rob caught the autocross bug, that all changed. More on that later.
Taking the truck's race heritage to heart; a 1990 454 Chevy big block was bored .030 over by Magnum Supercharger in Cedar, Minnesota and installed in the truck. Forged rods and pistons were used along with a high volume oil pump and an Edelbrock camshaft. Edelbrock RPM aluminum heads and a Victor Jr. EFI manifold and 1,000 CFM carb topped off the motor that is cooled by a Be Cool fan and radiator. Hedman 2-inch headers and Magnaflow exhaust rounds out the power package. The motor was painted to match and dressed up using GMPP valve covers and March pulleys. The massive engine is backed up by an S&W Gear Vendors Overdrive transmission. When all was said and done the truck put out 650 hp and 640 ft lbs of torque borrowing plenty of high octane fuel from the custom Rick's Hot Rod stainless steel tank. Not too bad for a full show truck with a complete interior entertainment system.
On the inside, luxury and style was the goal over the old stripped race interior. '68 CST buckets were installed and wrapped by A&M Upholstery in Katzkin black leather and suede. Power windows were installed before the rest of the interior was wired for sound with M&M Electric. An Eclipse head unit powers the tightly fitted Kicker audio system. Kick panels hold a set of 65.2 SS Kicker component speakers while a custom box was built to house the deep bass kicking from a 10-inch Solo X subwoofer. The system is powered by 2500.1 and 350.4 Kicker amplifiers for plenty of power along with two Optima yellow top batteries installed by Geoff Curtis. The luxury end of the spectrum was finished off thanks to a cool breeze from Classic Auto Air.
Rob finished the truck up just in time for the SEMA show and it turned heads everywhere he went. But it wasn't until the Good Guys Del Mar show that the truck found its new niche and Rob discovered a new passion, autocross racing. Autocrossing usually pits muscle cars against one another in a timed cone course. Handling, braking and power are all main concerns when it comes to running the course in a quick time without taking any cones out. Rob decided to give it a try when a truck class was opened up. He already had the power thanks to the big block, and the braking was taken care of thanks to massive Baer Brakes 14-inch rotors with 6-piston calipers. He ran the course and put up some impressive times but he knew that the handling needed to be better. For quicker steering, a quick ratio AGR steering box and super pump was installed to fit Rob's driving style. Anti-sway bars from Hotchkis were installed along with their control arms. Of course, the chrome 20-inch wheels had to go to match up with the autocross race style. Flat black MHT Mach X wheels measuring 19×10 and 19×12 where installed with Pirelli PZero 285/30/19 and 305/30/19 rubber for plenty of grip while on the road course.
Rob Phillip's C-10 just goes to show you that you can have your cake and eat it to. Show trucks can be performers and compete amongst the best.

Snow UpdateJanuary 5th, 2014 at 3:47 pm by Pamela Gardner under Weather
The heavy snow continues to pile up. The individual snow showers are moving northeast…so we are not out of the woods just yet.
Here is a look at wind speeds…the wind is picking up to our west. Wind speeds increase this evening in central Indiana 20-30 mph gusting up to 40 mph.
Temperatures are falling to our west. Temps are already in the teens in Illinois. As the wind picks up, the colder temps filter in.
Winter Storm Warning update: a few counties have been taken out of the warned area. Southeastern Indiana has had more rain than snow and that is why.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Rodney Williams helped Minnesota rally in the second half after a sluggish start, scoring 15 points with six rebounds and four assists in the Gophers' 72-57 victory over Richmond on Sunday night. Trevor Mbakwe had nine points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in his most extensive action of the season for the Gophers (4-0), who play No. 9 Duke next in a Thanksgiving weekend tournament in the Bahamas. Andre Hollins had 14 points, seven assists and three steals and was the primary spark during the defining stretch of the second half when the Gophers pulled away, putting them ahead for good 51-49 with a 3-pointer with 8:12 left. Derrick Williams led the Spiders with 16 points, and Kendall Anthony added 13 points. The Spiders (3-1) were outrebounded 41-30 and squandered a 49-42 lead they built by holding the Gophers scoreless for more than four minutes.

Jack Mapanje's first collection of poems, Of Chameleons and Gods made a very particular impact in Malawi after its publication in 1981 because the Censorship Board recognised its implicit criticism of the autocratic regime of Hastings Kamuzu Banda, and subsequently withdrew the book from circulation, despite its international reputation. The notoriety of the poems' political gesture has often deflected from the skill and beauty of the poems as they transform elements of Malawian oral culture into syncretic literary forms. Mapanje makes particular use of the praise verse form in making ironic, understated and satiric commentary on the political situation and its supporters. This rhythmic speaking voice is apparent in the poem …

There have been young people who have successfully written novels before, but it's always impressive when someone who hasn't even gone to college yet produces a work of fiction that reads as if it were written by someone twice her age.
Jennifer Tokarz, a high school student, wrote Disappearing Light Hides True Evil, a young adult paranormal novel. It's about nineteen-year-old Angel and her younger sister Skye. Angel likes to tell Skye their grandfather's stories about the strange people--wizards, according to their grandfather--who live on the mountain. Then Skye suddenly disappears, and Angel sets out alone to find her. Her quest puts her in great danger, but she also finds she empathizes with a most unexpected creature. Angel also finds out a shocking truth about herself. Let's just say she's no ordinary teenage girl, but has a magic inside her she never could have guessed at.
What blew me away about Jennifer's book was not only the story, which is unlike any other young adult paranormal I've read before, but also her writing itself. Jennifer writes like I, a published novelist, couldn't until I was twice her age. It is an astonishing effort from one so young. Who says young people don't care about reading and writing anymore? Jennifer Tokarz is already on the verge of a promising writing career, and she's definitely a writer to watch out for.
Stephenie Meyer, watch your back. Marlene Perez, Rachel Vincent and all you other grown-ups who write paranormal stories for young adults and up, you've got some serious competition in this 14-year-old wonder.

Dan Serunkuma has decided to withdraw from the East and Central Africa Tusker Senior Challenge Cup (Cecafa Cup) competition.
Reason? The striker has preferred to concentrate on his club career with Kenyan side Gor Mahia, who have a title decider against Thika United today and FKP Cup games between November 18th and 21st.
I find this disturbing as the player will be on holiday thereafter and a majority of his club teammates will be in Kampala representing Kenya in the regional event that starts on November 24.
Behind this, I suspect Serunkuma is an aggrieved man, who is simply reacting out of emotions to pay back for the period he has since been ignored for national duty.
Whatever the case, the young man's decision should be respected as it makes no sense dragging a disinterested player into camp, who will not offer the team a 100% but become a negative influence.
Of course without him, Cranes will miss the services of an inform striker, whose goal-per-game ratio has not gone unnoticed.
Neighbours Kenya are trying to influence the 22-year-old to represent the Harambee Stars and rightly so as his 17-goals tally in the Kenyan Premier League has been amazing.
But considering the assembly of attacking options considered to for the regional tournament, Uganda should find no problems defending her title.
The forthcoming championship should be an opportunity for Kiiza in particular to blossom.
Of all the Cranes strikers, Kiiza is the only figure that has not been granted a significant opportunity to shine.
Over the years, Geoffrey Massa, Brian Umony and Emmanuel Okwi have all benefited from the freedom they have been offered to perform and none has disappointed. The 2012 edition should bring the best out of Kiiza, a selfless and versatile striker.
The secret is how often any given coach can bring that day from him and Tanzanian club Yanga seem to have found that just as Marian Doran did at Nalubaale, where he gathered 45 goals in three seasons.
Kiiza has wonderful positioning in the box and above all that anticipation of being in the right place at the right time -element that Bobby Williamson personally relishes.
How about Martin Mutumba?
After being subjected to unprecedented criticism following his disappointing display during the 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw against Senegal in June, Mutumba was forced to return to the drawing board and review his game.
And although it has taken a while, the results have been positive. His recall to the side to redeem himself in the Uganda Cranes shirt was deserved.
If Mutumba does start Cranes group games which should be the case, it will be interesting to see how Williamson utilizes him this time.
His agility makes him the right candidate to resolve Cranes' troubles on the left.
His dexterous footwork enables him to manoeuvre the ball quickly and often creates yards of space when there appears to be none. The key is pairing him with the correct full-back.
Mutumba comes into the centre of the pitch so quickly that he needs someone constantly overlapping to stretch the opposition, and widen the gaps for him to drift through.

Confident outlook for UK grain in year ahead
11:32 28 May 2014
©Lee Blanchflower Photography 2011
Hopes are high that an expected surplus of UK produced wheat could help provide significant export opportunities for East Anglia growers.
Visitors to a HGCA meet the exporter day at the Ipwich grain terminal of Nidera UK were told that following the poor quality grain of 2012 and low availability due to reduced plantings and variable yields of 2013, UK grain exporters are confident of a better scenario for 2014/15.
David Eudall of Nidera UK, said just under 0.5 million tonnes of wheat was available for export this season, with the previous year not faring much better.
"There was around 730,000 tonnes available in 2012/13 but in 2011/12 the UK had over 2.5 million tonnes available for export and hopefully in the coming season we will return to these sorts of levels," he said. "Current predictions are for a UK wheat crop of 15-15.5 million tonnes in 2014 and this should leave an exportable surplus of close to 2.0 million tonnes."
Typically, Spain and the Netherlands with a demand of around 0.6m tonnes and 0.7m tonnes respectively are the biggest export destinations but Belgium, Germany, Ireland and Portugal are also keen on UK produced wheat.
Pricing has got to be competitive, but many countries rate UK produced wheat highly so there is always demand both within the EU and further afield, he explains.
"The limiting factor for exporting UK wheat outside of the EU is often the moisture content where most third world countries require max 14.5% or even 14.0% and this is often difficult for growers to achieve consistently."
"But if you have low moisture wheat, the markets of Saudi Arabia and North Africa can be a lucrative option.
"The South East of England always has an exportable surplus and this is often the area most likely to be able to produce wheat of the right quality and moisture for more distant markets."
Working from offices on the outskirts of Ipswich and with a dedicated Grain Terminal at Ipswich port, Nidera UK trades around 1.8 million tonnes of grain every year and purchases 1.4 million tonnes direct from farm.
With a fleet of 35 trucks operating out of 8 centres and storage of 160,000 tonnes at various locations throughout the UK, the company pushes up to 0.9 million tonnes of grain and other commodities through its Ipswich terminal every year.
On the busiest days, 400 vehicle movements can take place at the terminal with boats as large as 14,000 tonnes loaded in 12 – 14 hours.
According to Sarah Mann, export manager for the HGCA, some of the organisation's key objectives are finding a home for surplus production, looking at ways of adding value to it and developing protocols to open up new markets – one of the latest being China.
One of the biggest successes of this approach in recent years has been UKS specification wheat, she says.
"UKS is a blend of soft extensible varieties well known throughout the EU for their biscuit making and bread blending characteristics. UKP in contrast is a blend of semi-hard endosperm varieties to suit both EU and non-EU bread making.
"UKS varieties are always in high demand as they are useful for blending with hard high protein wheats and the UK's specific maritime climate gives them some much sought after unique properties."
And knowing what you are growing and where it could potentially go are two of the most important aspects of making the most of export markets, she says.
"Firstly you need to understand the local market. For example, growers within 30 miles of a port are ideally located to regularly supply the export market.
"If you're thinking of export, consider end markets when selecting varieties – ukp or uks – and discuss with your merchant which varieties their overseas customers prefer. Furthermore, test your grain and ensure your merchant knows you have met the export specification."
Where possible, grain intended for export should be stored separately to ensure the integrity of the UKP and UKS specifications.
"All told Wheat exports account for around 16% of production in most years whilst with barley it's around 15%," Sarah Mann says.
"In 2011/12 cereal and oilseed exports were estimated to be worth nearly £1.0Bn so it's a significant part of UK production with serious opportunities for growers able to meet the required specifications."

In taking a look at the technology trends for 2013, research firm IDC makes some interesting predictions about how smaller tablet form factors, which IDC refers to as mini tablets, will impact the overall mobile technology market as well as the education market.
IDC predicts that the overall tablet market will grow by at least 42% -- accounting for an additional 170 million devices. The majority of that growth will come in the form of tablets that are eight inches or smaller, which IDC expects to account for 60% of all tablet sales.
That's almost a complete reversal of the tablet market today, where smaller tablets make up just 33% of the market. IDC acknowledges that the iPad mini will be one of the major drivers of what it calls the turbocharging of the tablet market by smaller and less expensive devices. However, the company noted that the shift to smaller tablets won't be solely as a result of Apple's decision to build the iPad mini. IDC also highlighted Google's Nexus 7 Android tablet as well as updated offerings from Amazon and Barnes & Noble as also helping to drive interest in smaller devices.
Perhaps the most interesting point of this shift towards smaller devices is that it illustrates a shift in the perception of smaller tablets. The early perception of the iPad when it was initially announced three years ago was that it would be a content consumption device rather than a potential business tool -- an assumption that was proven wrong in very short order.
A similar assumption eventually became commonplace about smaller tablets. It was easy to assume that a smaller tablet is less capable, particularly when you consider that the earliest small tablets tended to run a re-sized version of Android that was designed for smartphones. That the two most well known smaller tablet lines -- Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook -- came from the e-reader space didn't help. As a result, the iPad and larger tablets have come to be seen as more serious tools than their smaller cousins.
IDC's numbers seem to indicate that consumers and business users are beginning to see past that initial assumption and consider smaller tablets as viable choices for home and work.
There are, of course, some serious advantages to smaller tablets including lower price points, a broad range of devices and device ecosystems, and greater portability -- all of which are likely to drive adoption across the board in the consumer and business spaces.
All of those factors are attractive to one of the biggest and relatively untapped tablet markets -- education. IDC predicts 2013 will be the year of "explosive growth" and "viral expansion" of small tablets in schools. As such, they will be responsible for one of the greatest changes in education in generations -- the shift from textbooks to digital learning tools.
Those digital learning tools include electronic textbooks, but also encompass a range of capabilities beyond them. With access to education videos, apps, and the entirety of the Internet, tablets -- led by Apple's iPad -- have become a driving force behind the flipped classroom concept. This concept upends the traditional lecture--style teaching that most of us grew up with in favor of class time that is devoted to discussion about concepts, critical thinking, and work on projects. Students rely on video and audio materials (produced by teachers and/or selected from source like Khan Academy) viewed or listened to outside of class on their devices.
Tablets also offer access to subjects beyond the ability of even the most well-funded school. The explosion of massive open online courses (MOOCs), course libraries like Khan Academy and Apple's iTunes U, and skill-focused training sites allows teachers to tailor programs of study to the specific needs and interests of their students. Many of these tools also offer education analytics that can help teachers assess student progress with much greater specificity. In fact, these new analytic tools offer new insights in many of the same ways as today's business intelligence solutions.
While the iPad has a lead on the competition when it comes to the education market, it isn't the only option. Apple may have made headlines with its education event in January, where it announced its electronic textbook initiative, but both Amazon and Barnes & Noble already had electronic textbook programs at that point -- though Barnes & Noble's Nook Study program remains PC or Mac only at this point. Kno, an electronic textbook startup that has traditionally focused on the college market, has also begun to offer K--12 content that can be viewed on iPads and Android devices.
Of course, the biggest gains in education for tablet makers will likely be made months from now as schools that have been testing iPads, Kindles, or other devices move on to full scale deployments for the 2013 -- 2014 school year.
Whether its at home, at the office, or in the classroom, the diversification of the tablet market is poised to make all of us even more mobile in the coming year than we have been in this year.

Hey the Red Wings are 2-0-0 on the young season. But while they've taken care of business by beating the teams that they should, like Ottawa and Colorado – a pair of teams that have missed the playoffs in two of the last three seasons – the Wings know that they can play better, especially on the power-play.
"We haven't executed well," Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. "We've got some good breakouts and we've been setting up, but we haven't gotten the shots when you need them.'"
Through the first two games, the Wings are 0-for-9 with the man-advantage.
With a few days to prepare for their next opponent – Thursday when the defending Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks visit Joe Louis Arena – coach Mike Babcock said Monday that he plans to juggle one of the power-play units by using Jiri Hudler on the point with Niklas Kronwall.
"I'm not getting Huds on the ice enough," Babcock said. "Then Huds and Mule can get switching in and out of the middle on that thing. I'll have (Danny) Cleary at the net with them and (Valtteri) Filppula so we'll have a different look on our second group than or first group." Only Columbus and Anaheim have had more PP opportunities and remain scoreless with a man-advantage.
"Specialty teams are going to be important," Lidstrom said. "We worked a little bit on the power play today after practice but that's something we'll be working on a little more to get it going and get some goals on it.'"

With his first shift in Friday's season-opener against the Ottawa Senators, Nicklas Lidstrom joined another exclusive group.
The Red Wings' captain became the sixth pro athlete in Detroit sports history to play his entire career, for at least 20-seasons, with the same local organization – the Red Wings, Detroit Tigers or Detroit Lions.
"I didn't know that," said Lidstrom, after Friday's morning skate. "That's some nice company."
Lidstrom is the third Red Wing, joining hall-of-famers Alex Delvecchio and Steve Yzerman, to play 20-plus seasons in the same NHL sweater.
Tigers hall-of-fame right-fielder Al Kaline and shortstop Alan Trammell, and Lions kicker Jason Hanson are also in the 20-seasons club.
"I didn't see myself being here this long, especially with back in the 90s there were a lot more trades and players moving around," Lidstrom said. "I didn't see that happening at all."

Opening night starts in a few hours, but for Red Wings equipment manager Paul Boyer, the season began seven weeks ago.
|The new patch that the Red Wings will wear to honor their fallen friends.
"My opening night started August 15, by loading a truck, getting orders, making sure that I have pants and gloves. It never stops," said Boyer, in his 17th season with the organization. "It's more exciting at the beginning of camp, when we know that we have to get going again. We have to get 63 guys up to Traverse City and get going."
In the hours leading up to the season-opener against Ottawa, Boyer and his crew had to put new league-mandated two-inch numbers on the front of each players' helmet. They also had to adhere patches, which pay homage to three former Red Wings killed last month in a Russian jetliner crash, to the left sleeve of each players' jersey, as well as sew a special commemorative 'Love for Lokomotiv' patch on the inside of the jerseys.
Brad McCrimmon, Ruslan Salei and former prospect Stefan Liv were among 44 people who died Sept. 7 when the plane that was carrying their Lokomotiv hockey team crashed shortly after takeoff.
Tonight's set of jerseys will eventually be sold to the public, with the proceeds going to the McCrimmon and Salei families. The plan is for the Wings to also make a special road 'white' set available. They will either wear that set later in the year at Anaheim of Philadelphia.
The new helmet numbers are meant to help the broadcast cameramen identify players.
"Really, it's not much more than a regular game day," Boyer said. "It's the time leading up then just the day itself. Now today with our new patch going on, we have a little more to do.
"Normally, we like to wear the first set of jerseys in the last exhibition game, but we couldn't do that because we hadn't decided on a patch yet. And we also still had a lot of (Grand Rapids) guys still up here. But it's the whole week that's busy."
Boyer has been busy with getting guys fitted with new skates, helmets and gloves. Typically, he would take that time after camp to get guys broken into new equipment.
"I don't have the time to think about the excitement of opening night," he said. "You just have too many things to get done. I'm just trying to make sure that we can get on the ice and play tonight."

|Hall of Fame defenseman Denis Potvin signs autographs for fans outside of JLA Friday.
A nine-time NHL All-Star and a three-time Norris Trophy winner, hall of fame defenseman Denis Potvin knows a thing or two about opening night butterflies.
Potvin, who won as many Stanley Cup championships as Nicklas Lidstrom, said that he still gets nervous before games. And he retired as a player after the 1987-88 season.
"But everyone will tell you that they don't mind being nervous before the start of a game," said Potvin, in town Friday as a color analyst for Rogers Sportsnet, which broadcasts Ottawa Senators games.
"I'm not as nervous. But yes, I'm very excited for the start of a new season," he said.
Potvin said that he was very much a creature of habit during his playing career, something that continues to follow him into his 18th season as a broadcaster.
"It was always just a routine," he said. "I have no problem having a nap in the middle of the afternoon, even today. But I think the butterflies come from the nervousness that you may not be able to do even the normal things. And that's what you have to get over. I mean, you can achieve great things, but you don't know when that will happen. But you just want to be able to do your normal things, move the puck, move up the ice, or whatever it is that you do."
Potvin said that he doesn't have a lot of memories of playing the Red Wings during his career, which makes sense, since he probably only played in Detroit a handful of times, if that.
"They were always a physical team," Potvin said. "But the thing that the Red Wings lacked in the years that I played in the 70s and 80s is that they really didn't have the speed and the puck control that they have now. But really the talent started shaping up in the 80s when (Steve) Yzerman showed up, and of course, (Nicklas) Lidstrom after that. Those were not great years for the Red Wings."
What are Potvin's recollections of playing for then New York Islanders and then-assistant general manager Jimmy Devellano?
"I love the guy. They had to steal him from our organization to bring him here to finally build a champion," said Potvin of Devellano, who is created with being the architect to four Islanders Cup titles in the 80s. "He's just one of the best, and still today, I love him, and I look forward to talking to him whenever I get a chance."

For the majority of fans, who attend tonight's game at Joe Louis Arena, a successful home opener will be measured by a Red Wings' win or a loss to the Ottawa Senators.
|While the Senators were on the ice Friday morning, Joe Louis Arena crews were still in preparation-mode putting on the finishing touches to what everyone hopes is a win-win for the home crowd.
And one such person, who has worked tirelessly to make sure that 20,000-plus guests enjoy their time at The Joe this evening is the Wings' director of marketing Rob Mattina.
"We have long summers in the planning of the year, and I think you see all of your hard work come to fruition on opening night," Mattina said. "So it's as exciting for us, as it is for the fans and the players."
While the players took to the ice at 10:30 today for their morning skate, and the hospitality staff was fast at work preparing meals for the 400, or so, expectant guests inside the CC Olympia Club, the Wings' marketing department was putting the final touches on things, including the pre-game show, which is set to begin at 6:50 p.m.
Mattina and his crew were also working with advertisers and media outlets to build buzz about tonight's opener.
"It starts with the advertising that's going on, on the radio, and the new commercial kind of gives you chills," Mattina said. "You feel the energy through all of the media people that we spoke to this morning, and seeing Tom Wilson, Ken Holland and Mike Babcock all on air today.
"You feel it with the players and the excitement as they're coming into the building to practice this morning. I think, generally throughout the entire organization, there's an excitement that comes with opening night."
It's never been a better time to be a sports fan in Detroit with the Tigers reaching the American League Championship Series and the Lions kicking off the NFL season with a 4-0 record for the first time since 1980. The Red Wings are the only pro sports team in town that consistently reaches the postseason, having won four Stanley Cup titles in the last 14 seasons.
And we're just hours away from lifting the curtain on a new season for the city's most-successful sports franchise as it heads back to work.
"The Red Wings are such a powerful brand that has been successful for so long, and we have the greatest fans in the NHL," Mattina said. "And it's awesome that the Tigers are winning, and it's awesome for the City of Detroit that the Detroit Lions are doing fantastic."
So how will Mattina judge whether or not tonight's game was a hit with fans?
"You know it's successful by the energy of the crowd," he said. "It's all about the fans, and as long as the fans have smiles on their faces and you see high-energy in this building. ... And obviously, capping off with a Red Wings' win will be fantastic."
Sounds like a win-win for everyone!

|JLA executive chef John Borso and his staff have been hard at work all day in anticipation of feeding approximately 400 hungry guests tonight.
It's already crazy here at Joe Louis Arena, and the puck isn't scheduled to drop on the new season for another eight hours, or so.
Yet, here in the kitchen, next to the CC Olympia Club, preparations to feed 400 hungry guests is well underway under the watchful eye of JLA executive chef John Borso.
"We're preparing a little bit more, because we like to start off with a nice, big bang," said Borso, as he loaded a piece of Thai coconut salmon dipped in peanut sauce onto the end of a wooden skewer. "Opening night is always special to us. We always try to out do last year's opening night with doing different things."
On the menu tonight on the CC Olympia Club includes a prime rib, a raw bar with oysters on the half shell, and for dessert pink Breast Cancer Awareness cupcakes
What goes into planning a meal for 400 or so guests on a nightly basis?
"I'm always reading magazine articles that give me ideas," Borso said. "The Internet has been – over the last 10 years – a great gift. We also have sales people, who come in and educate and sell us things that they want to promote. So there are all sorts of avenues that can go into planning."
At the end of the day, Borso and his staff feel good when their guests can retreat to their arena seats and watch a Red Wings' victory.
"Knowing that we just feed a number of people through our club, and knowing that everybody is happy; they've gone to the game and are enjoying the game, and everybody is full and having a great time," Borso said, "that's what makes me happy."

The NHL and former Red Wings forward Brendan Shanahan, the league's new player safety czar, handed down a decision on Brendan Smith last week, essentially ending the young defenseman's attempt to make the Wings' opening night roster.
In the league's decision, Smith received an eight-game suspension, which included five NHL regular-season contests, for his illegal hit to the head of Chicago forward Ben Smith.
While Smith didn't agree with the league sentence, it was the right thing. The league is trying to crack down on shots to the heads of its players. So Smith took his lumps, said he'll learn from his mistake, and last weekend he returned to Grand Rapids, the Wings' American Hockey League affiliate, where he began to prepare for the Griffins' season-opener Saturday night in Rockford.
However, today the AHL announced that its president, David Andrews, has independently reviewed the Smith-on-Smith collision – which occurred Sept. 28 at Chicago's United Center – and he's decided that Brendan's hit warrants a separate three-game suspension in the AHL. Smith can return to action Oct. 18 in Grand Rapids.
Apparently, this is nothing new, and it's been part of the AHL's by-laws. But man, talk about piling on. And the worst thing is that Smith still must sit out five NHL games at some point.

If you know Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean, you know that the old defenseman in him comes out from time to time.
I've known Paul since he returned to the Red Wings as an assistant coach six seasons ago. He's not a very talkative guy, but he will surprise you once in a while.
Every now and then he'd spot me in the hallways inside Joe Louis Arena. Most of the time I walk with my head down, which is a big no-no in hockey circles. "Don't you know that you should never put your head down?" MacLean would tell me. From that point, it became a running joke.
"Head up," he'd say whenever he'd see me.
"Head's up, Coach," was the usual reply.
So now that MacLean has return to Detroit as the appointed leader of the enemy Senators, what will Friday's opening night be like for him in his old stomping grounds?
"I'm just hoping I'm not scared to death," he said. "I think I'll be alright. The Joe is always an exciting night. Being here at The Joe is a little bit special. They're not raising any banners so that's probably a good thing."
Just keep your head up, Coach.

The Red Wings signed Mike Commodore on the first day of the free agency period last July. The 6-foot-4 defenseman was brought in to compete for a spot on the team's third defensive pairing.
Now Commodore, who won a Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006, hasn't skated in a week since catching a skate blade in the ice at Chicago's United Center last Wednesday. Diagnosed with a Grade 1 MCL sprain, he will be fitted for a brace Thursday. But as far as a timetable for his return, everything is up in the air, Commodore said.
"This is all new to me. Never had a knee injury," he said.
However, Commodore only has to remember last October as the last time he missed significant time early in a season, because of injury. Last year, he suffered a broken thumb in an opening-night fight with San Jose's Ryane Clowe, and never really bounced back from the injury, collecting six points in 20 games with Columbus.
"It was bad timing. I came back from that," said Commodore when asked about the thumb. "This is a little different. I've never had a knee problem in 12 years. The good thing is it's only a Grade 1. Once I get this brace and skate for a few days, I'll be ready to go."
With Commodore out for at least Friday's opener against Ottawa and Saturday's game at Colorado, 24-year-old Jakub Kindl will be inserted into the role as the sixth defenseman. Still, Commodore isn't overly concerned about falling behind Kindl on the depth chart.
"I know my place," Commodore said. "If he plays well that's great. If the team is doing well, that's what I'm here for. I want to be part of a good team that's why I came here. I'm not worried about playing time at all, falling behind or losing ice-time.
"My main concern right now is getting my knee healthy and getting myself back in it. And when I'm healthy they'll know I'm available."

Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom left practice early Tuesday with a sore knee. When asked if he'll be ready to play in Friday's opener, the 38-year-old veteran said, "That's the goal. Hopefully, I'll practice tomorrow."
Coach Mike Babcock ordered the Swedish forward off of the ice before practice even began.
"It was pretty obvious that he was in pain," Babcock said. Still, the Wings' coach is confident that he'll have Holmstrom back in time for the opener against the Ottawa Senators at Joe Louis Arena.
As for other injuries, it looks as if defenseman Mike Commodore (MCL) will likely be the only guy not ready to return to action this weekend. Not only is he expected to miss Friday's opener, he'll also likely sit out Saturday's game at Colorado. The absense of Commodore means that Jakub Kindl will start the season as the sixth defenseman and will be paired with Jonathan Ericsson.
Center Pavel Datsyuk (sore back), forwards Henrik Zetterberg (upper body), Danny Cleary (upper body) and Patrick Eaves (foot) should all be ready to go against the Senators. Eaves and Commodore did not practice Tuesday.
Yet Babcock was satisfied to see everyone else back on the ice Tuesday morning.
"It's amazing when you get rid of exhibition now who gets healthy fast," Babcock said. "It's like the Fountain of Youth."

THE Japanese genius for innovation in consumer products continues unabated. Feedback's prize for the most lethal invention of the month goes to a combined radar detector and television set which clips onto the rear-view mirror of your car. There's nothing like watching the latest TV game show while bombing along at twice the speed limit.
Our award for the invention that deserves to sell well in Britain, but probably won't, is a device that detects drunks urinating in lifts and sounds an alarm. A model that delivered an electric shock would provide an even greater public service.
Another invention that we would like to see do well is a plastic window pane that does not block signals from television satellites. The makers say that it will allow people to install receiving dishes indoors. Although the window deserves to succeed on aesthetic grounds alone, in Japan, at least, there could be ...

Embattled member of the House of the Representatives, Hon. Farouk Lawan on Friday passed his first day in Kuje Maximum Prisons, Abuja amid tight security provided by the military and mobile policemen.
His presence in the prison has also turned it to a beehive of activities as dignitaries, especially his associates thronged the prison yesterday to empathise with him.
Sources in the prison said that Lawan upon arrival in the facility was not accorded any VIP treatment He was allegedly ushered into the prison yard to rousing welcome of inmates.
According to the sources, Lawan only stared into space and shook his head in disbelief.
Asked if he was allocated a special room, one of the sources, who refused to disclose the hall and room number for security reasons, acknowledged that Lawan was allocated a bed in the "important personalities" block in the prison yard. It could not be established if the lawmaker shares the cell with his co-accused, Mr. Boniface Emenalo.
The former chairman, House of Representatives Ad- hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy was remanded in prison custody on Friday by Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi of the Abuja High Court over his alleged receipt of $620,000 bribe from businessman, Mr. Femi Otedola.
Although the entry points into the prison was mounted by fierce-looking armed military and mobile police men, who were assisted by prisons wardens, who had sniffer dogs, restricted movement in the area.
LEADERSHIP SUNDAY gathered from impeccable sources that the lawmaker who was remanded alongside the secretary of the ad-hoc panel, Mr. Boniface Emenalo, was in high spirit as he received his political associates.
A top prison official, who craved anonymity, told LEADERSHIP SUNDAY that some People's Democratic Party (PDP) chiefs and other prominent Nigerians, who did not want to be seen at the yard, arrived in the prisons gate as early as 6. 30am in exotic cars.
It was also learnt that three inmates were usually assigned to a room in the VIP cells for security reasons. "Prisons authorities do not allow a single person in a cell be it VIP or ordinary cell for security reasons. In fact, he has been allocated a room where he will no doubt sleep on a double bunk bed with a fan," the source added.
The officials of the prisons have reportedly granted Lawan the privilege of eating the food brought by his family members.
LEADERSHIP SUNDAY saw a light skin man, identified as Mohammed, exchanging pleasantries with a serving senator, who rode in a Toyota Sienna, with the inscription RE 55AAA at the gate with a food flask.
The two lawmakers will remain in the prison till February 8, 2013 when the matter would come up for hearing.

Orthodox and Reform Jewish campers will hold a joint Fourth of July celebration.
The Americafest celebration next week, which will bring campers from the Orthodox Camp Darom in Grenada, Miss., to the Union for Reform Judaism's Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, Miss., was made possible by a grant from the Foundation for Jewish Camp.
The celebration will mark the first time the two camps have come together for an intercamp program day, and will include a Fourth of July parade featuring campers from both camps, an afternoon carnival, an outdoor concert by Jewish musician Dan Nichols and fireworks.
"While the two camps practice their Judaism differently, their missions are very much the same: to strengthen the Jewish identity of young people from small and isolated Southern Jewish communities by providing them with outstanding programs and powerful Jewish memories," Jonathan "J.C." Cohen, the Jacobs camp director, said in a statement. "Jacobs Camp's motto, 'A Jewish Place at a Southern Pace,' will surely ring true during this one-of-a-kind celebration."

Counseling service for military personnel preps for open house events
Apr 14, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
Therapists with the Soldiers Project donate their time and commit to working with one client each.
Three opening events are scheduled in the coming weeks at the Soldiers Project-Wyoming Chapter in Riverton.
The nonprofit organization provides free, confidential psychological services to military personnel and their families who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therapists donate their time to the Soldiers Project and commit to working with one client each, staying on the case as long as there is a need.
The Soldiers Project-Wyoming Chapter is located on the old Riverton hospital property at North 12th Street East and East Lincoln Avenue, in a home refurbished by Lander therapist Charlie Wilson. Local realtor Richard Emond transferred the Habitat for Humanity house to Wilson for the Soldiers Project, and community members have offered donations and discounted services to get the facility ready.
Build supporters will be the focus of the Soldiers Project's first open house, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday.
"We would like to thank all those who have contributed time, labor, materials and patience as we slowly but surely made a dream into a reality," Wilson wrote in an invitation.
Another event will be for therapists and law enforcement officials who may have questions about the project. They are invited to an open house for professionals from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. Wilson encouraged therapists interested in getting involved to call him at 330-4635.
"We are really looking for volunteer therapists," he said. "We are recruiting."
A general grand opening will be 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. May 11. Anyone who can't attend the event is welcome at the first two gatherings.
"It's not exclusive," Wilson said.
The Soldiers Project limits its services to veterans who were stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan primarily because of a lack of resources, he explained.
"We don't mean it in any way to slight anyone or say one vet is more important than the other," Wilson said.
He plans to invite other organizations serving area veterans to use the Soldiers Project facility. He also wants community members to use the center if they have questions about veterans issues in general, and he hopes to coordinate with St. John's Medical Center in Jackson to offer free cognitive testing for local service members. In addition, the Soldiers Project has a program called Adopt a College that educates school faculty and administrators about the challenges veterans face when returning to school after serving. Wilson said he'd be interested in bringing the program to Central Wyoming College in Riverton.
To set up an appointment through the Soldiers Project, call (877) 576-5343. The local facility can be reached by calling 856-1244.

Re: Crew Tryouts-welcome letter
Posted By: Mike Guccione
Date: Thursday, 15 March 2012, at 9:12 a.m.
This is a email that went out to all the new people explaining the 24th.
Welcome to the Yacht Racers Resource Center meet-up group. The purpose of this group is to expose people to yacht racing. I will be getting you invites to special events, training programs and of course yacht club parties in an effort to get you hooked on the sport of yachting. Our first meet-up is actually an event specifically designed for someone who is clueless about the sport and sailing in general. Two yacht clubs, Del Rey Yacht Club and South Bay Yacht Racing Club, are putting on a free introduction to yachting class on March 24th. More about this at SBYRC.org.
What is going to happen, in brief, is you are going to get training in the morning then during lunch you meet about 15 skippers looking for new crew. You will be offered a ride out to the ocean and maybe even do a quick race. There will be some free food during lunch and there is a snack bar in case you are not a hot dog fan. My job is to find you a boat to race on. From experience about half of you will eat this up and about half of those will find this really something you love and will be in the sport for a long time. Now the question is who is who. Most of the new crew coming into racing are woman. There are even races strictly for woman. Age is not really a factor we have an 85 year old still kicking ass on the race course but the average ages run between 25 and 45. Fitness is more of a factor.
There are three main categories of racing and then subdivisions by class of boat. The first are random leg courses they are the most popular as there is the least amount of work needed to be done. Then there are Beer Can Races. Every Wednesday during the summer months is a quick simple race and then a BBQ and trophy presentation party. Finally grand prix type racing: These are called buoy races and this is my passion. This is the most complex part of the sport where a synchronized performance by a team of dedicated team players decides the outcome. It's very complex and only for these people that are real competitive. I will be looking for crew for our 30 foot racing boat at this first event. So if I just described you make sure you see me. You can do low stress races with boats that go out mainly for fun or if you are an adrenaline junky you can join the high stress buoy racing levels.
Now if you don't find a boat to crew on that very first day you can register at my website at YRRC.com and you can let people know you want to race and also see what skippers are looking for crew. We will also meet every Wednesday night after the race and get the remainder of you on crews.
What we are not is a place to go out for a Sunday picnic sail. There are other organizations for that.
See you on the 24th
Mike Guccione
: New crew keep coming in and we have decided to
: put up a wait list. 75 is more than we have
: boats for. We will cut the list down to 50
: unless we get more boats to take them out.
: Seems yacht racing is of interest to a lot
: of people. We just need to reach out to
: them. JOin our meetup group at meetup.com
: and then go to yacht racers resource center.
: See the new potential crew in advance. It
: even includes photos and experience. Think
: what could be done with all of the clubs
: pulling in the same direction.

M.S. in Clinical Psychology
Quick Facts
- Program units 34-37
- Duration 2 years
- Average class size 15
- Location Thousand Oaks only
The Master of Science in Clinical Psychology is a research intensive degree that emphasizes a scientist-practitioner model. The degree prepares you for positions requiring knowledge of applied psychological research or continuing on to a doctoral degree. The knowledge you gain will prepare you to answer questions posed by health organizations, non-profit organizations, businesses, consumer organizations, and educational institutions.
Through a Master's thesis and coursework in empirically supported assessments, treatments, and research, you will acquire skills in psychological research, program evaluation, and outcome assessment as well as clinical skills related to understanding psychopathology and major therapeutic techniques.
We work closely with each student in a small class format and provide access to the technology and resources you need to maximally benefit from your educational experience. Classes are held on the Thousand Oaks campus, located between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
