Puck Daddy
Rich Clune and the addiction of hockey culture (Puck Daddy Interview)Josh Cooper at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Rich Clune's story is also one of addiction and mental health awareness. The unrestricted forward has been sober for five years now and wears it like a badge of honor. And he's gone to great lengths to keep it that way.
In the 2012-13 season with Nashville he got elbowed in the face and hurt his jaw. Instead of taking painkillers he took ibuprofen because was important for him to not trigger any addictive thoughts in his head.
"I had this nasty cut that wouldn't heal and essentially my skin was just like pulling away from my jawbone," he said.
Clune believes that life is about decisions. You either decide to make your existence better, or you don't.
"Everyone has their own cross to bear and I think it's OK to ask for help but ultimately you're in charge of your own reality," he said.
Clune has a lot of thoughts and many interests. He's a hockey fighter along the lines of the current-day skilled enforcer. But he's a deep thinker.
Ask about hockey culture and he brings up sociology studies.
Clune is currently living in Los Angeles. He's working out, reading, writing and taking acting classes. He's also trying to find that next contract. In spite of his role as a fighter, he can play.
Joel Ward going to San Jose as 'identity player' on three-year, $9.825 million dealJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Joel Ward and his glorious behind are going to the San Jose Sharks.
The 34-year-old Ward signed a three-year $9.825 million for an annual salary cap hit of $3.275 million.
This is a per-year raise from Ward's prior deal, a four-year contract signed with Washington that paid him $12 million overall. Ward was one of the clutch glue type players on the free agent market, along with new Caps forward Justin Williams. The latter actually saw his salary drop to $3.25 million over two years as an essential replacement for Ward.
How does Ward fit with the Sharks? He's a big, powerful forward with a strong cycle game. These attributes would fit nicely on Joe Thornton's wing. But they have yet another 30 something under contract into the second half of that decade for a lot of money. However, he should fit nicely in the puck possession system favored by new coach Peter DeBoer.
Ryan O'Reilly inks creative 7-year, $52.5 million extension with SabresSean Leahy at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Ryan O'Reilly and the Buffalo Sabres have agreed to a seven-year, $52.5 million extension for the 24-year old forward.
The cap hit comes in at $7.5 million per year.
O'Reilly, who spent the first six seasons of his NHL with the Colorado Avalanche, is another young piece acquired by Sabres GM Tim Murray. He'll join 23-year old Evander Kane, who they traded for in February, 18-year old No. 2 overall pick Jack Eichel and 25-year old Tyler Ennis, who was extended last summer.
The makeup of the extension is interesting. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, all seven years come with a $1 million salary and the rest coming via signing bonuses. So O'Reilly protects himself from escrow and with all the bonus money, a buyout, sort of like what we saw with David Clarkson's deal with the Maple Leafs.
Columbus signs Brandon Saad to six-year $36 million dealJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Brandon Saad has been signed to a six-year contract worth a reported $6 million per-year by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Saad, who was an integral part of Chicago's last two Stanley Cups and was acquired by Columbus the day before his restricted free agency was set to begin. So the questioning starts – if you're the Blackhawks, who at one point intimated they would go to the mat to re-sign Saad, would you have spent that type of money and term on a 22-year-old forward who has never scored 30 goals and hit a career-high of 52 points last season?
There was always the question of whether Saad was prone to an offer sheet with the salary cap strapped Blackhawks, and Chicago at least got NHL-ready players in Mako Dano and Artem Anisimov in the package for Saad.

Blues re-sign Jake Allen, stick with 1A-1B tandem in goalSean Leahy at Puck Daddy2 days ago
The St. Louis Blues have solidfied their net for next season, inking goaltender Jake Allen to a two-year, $4.7 million extension on Friday,according to Jeremy Rutherford of the Post-Dispatch.
The 24-year old Allen, a two-time NHL All-Rookie Team netminder, was a restricted free agent as of Wednesday and sees a nice raise from the $850,000 he made in 2014-15.
This now means that both Allen and 1B goaltender Brian Elliott are on two-year deals.
Allen played well down the stretch for the Blues, allowing two goals or less in 12 of the final 13 regular season games, but couldn't help lead them past the Minnesota Wild in the first round. GM Doug Armstrong obviously feels confident in the 1A/1B setup, hoping both can continue pushing one another and find success. But the two-year term also allows some flexibility if the plan falls apart.
Canucks invite giant 6-foot-9 goaltender to development camp (Photos)Josh Cooper at Puck Daddy2 days ago
The Vancouver Canucks have a big name on their development camp roster.
It's John McLean – who is of no relation to the former Devils coach/player because his name is spelled differently. He's a 6-foot-9 goaltender – which is freaking huge!.
Game changer? Project? Maybe a publicity stunt?
The 25-year-old McLean spent four years at Gustavus Adolphus College, a Division-III school in Minnesota. In 2013-14 he had a 1.96 goals against average and .920 save percentage in 26 games.
Look at how low he gets in his goaltender's position ... such a low crouch:
It used to be teams would put the 'fat kid' in goal. Now they're just putting super tall guys in net. The man is a freaking giant. (Humming 'In the valley of the Jolly Green Giant …').
Please give us a caption for the below photo? He's like a goaltending Gandalf to Frodo and Samwise -- sincewe're on a Hobbit theme today.
Connor McDavid officially shakes on entry level deal with OilersJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy2 days ago
The Edmonton Oilers have agreed to an entry level deal with Canadian wunderkind Connor McDavid.
Alas, for those of us wishing both he and Jack Eichel (picked No. 2 in the 2015 Draft by the Sabres) would pull a Lindros and hold out to go somewhere else – this is not the case. Eichel signed his contract Wednesday.
Above is the photo of McDavid (the No. 1 pick in last weekend's draft) and Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli – shaking on The Chosen One's first contract. All these photos are pretty awkward for most prospects, but Chiarelli is way more photogenic than Sabres mad scientist/GM Tim Murray. Also, they're not as bad as high schoolers putting on college team hats on National Signing Day.
McDavid is currently at Oilers development camp. And he's drawing quite a crowd, via Rob Tychkowski of the Edmonton Sun.
Jonathan Toews gets ultimate honor of having beer named after himSean Leahy at Puck Daddy2 days ago
He has three Stanley Cups, two Olympic gold medals, one Conn Smythe Trophy, alake named after him and, of course, one Mark Messier Leadership Award. But one achievement Jonathan Toews had yet to earn? Having a beer named after him.
Enter Tinley Park, Il.-based Hailstorm Brewing Company who earlier this week introduced a brew in honor of the Chicago Blackhawks captain.
Welcome, Captain Serious #19 Pale Ale:
According to I Heart Beer, the brew is "a dry, hoppy, west coast style pale ale brewed with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Galaxy hops. It's 45 IBU and 5.6% ABV."
That all sounds pretty great for the captain, who enjoyed himself a beer or a few during the Blackhawks' previous two Cups of this era.

- Where is everybody? Oh right, it's Christmas Eve. (Photo: TBD Staff)
My favorite part about spending Christmas in D.C. is the freakish quiet. No lines, no traffic, and the small number of people you do see on the street are exceptionally friendly. We're in this together!
It's a rare Friday morning commute when you can stand in the middle of 11th Street near Metro Center and not see a single car coming in either direction.
More good news for anyone planning to make their way downtown this morning: the Department of Public Works has gone ahead and suspended enforcement of parking meters, residential parking, rush hour lane restrictions, and towing both today and Saturday, Dec. 24 and 25. (Those same rules will also apply Friday and Saturday, December 31 and January 1, FYI.)

Razan Moghrabi is back to acting but will she keep her clothes on this time?
Scandalous star, Razan Moghrabi, has been having a hard time getting back into the Arab showbiz world after a video emerged last year of the Lebanese sexpot making "obscene gestures" to a male friend alone in her house.
Since then, she has moved from her traditional role as actress, onto TV presenting, in a bid to regain her name. But after a year of keeping her head down and getting on with work, Razan is finally ready to get back to acting and will be starring in new Egyptian TV drama, 'Hekayat Haya' (A Life's Story) set to air in the holy month of Ramadan this year.

Ask lots of questions. After all, it is going to be permanent.
Mirror Mirror Beaute Bar
Pat's Hair Shoppe

As a master cosmetologist for nearly 25 years,
her own permanent cosmetics done she made
the decision to start a new journey and
immediately began researching trainers. After
speaking to nationally renowned permanent
makeup artist, Pat Connell she took her basic training in Raleigh NC. Within months of basic training she began apprenticing with Pat Connell. After the completion of her intense and highly specialized training she began practicing the art of permanent cosmetics on her own.
Whether someone is searching for a discreet enhancement or a truly dramatic cosmetic effect, Michelle can provide the "something else" that is desired. Because the aging process causes color and proportion loss, she is able to restore confidence and provide a feeling of "looking your best" every day.
** Certificates mean nothing if they are not issued by an official certifying body, such as the SPCP.
"I have a medical condition that causes my right eye to water all of the time, which resulted in me walking around with eyeliner only on one eye by the end of the day. Michelle permanently fixed the problem! I have had my eyeliner a year and it still looks great and I brag to my friends that it is the best money I ever spent on myself!"
Patty Davis
"Permanent make up is great because I used to have no lips or eyebrows. I have had people ask me if I have had a facelift. Running late is no problem now... just put on powder, blush & mascara and your ready to go. Thanks Michelle for making me beautiful."
Gina Alexander
Realtor, Carrollton GA
"I love my new lips and eyeliner! Friends and family tease me I've had collagen treatments. And only recently has my husband quit asking me to wear my makeup to bed!
Joli Tripp

"I actually won my permanent eyeliner through a raffle, but absolutely love it! I was so pleased with Michelle and her talents that I purchased the procedure for my daughter as a Christmas gift. Since then, I have referred Michelle to several of my co-workers in Newnan. Michelle is a perfectionist and it shows!"
Cricket Strickland
"After my permanent cosmetic procedures, my son thought for months that I was still getting up early to apply make-up. He was shocked when I finally revealed my secret — in fact, he's still kind of mad at me for duping him. But really, I feel better and I look better — it has definitely improved my attitude. I can't express my appreciation enough to Michelle."

A new study asserts major randomized, controlled trials (RCT) of therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) miss the mark when it comes to enrolling patients who are typical of those seen by physicians in daily practice.
The research, published in the September issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, which is the clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, found most IBD patients failed to meet eligibility criteria for the trials. Ultimately, Christina Ha, MD, lead author of the study, said it was important to recognize the limitations of research findings when so many patients are excluded.
Ha, who is an assistant professor at the Meyerhoff Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, said, "The unique thing about the inflammatory bowel disease population is it is a heterogeneous group of people." The two major illnesses recognized as IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Physicians see patients across the spectrum of age and with different disease manifestations and comorbidities.
The retrospective cohort study focused on 206 adult patients with moderate-to-severe IBD who presented to a tertiary referral facility (Mount Sinai Medical Center) for adjustment to their medical therapy over an 18-month period. Researchers found only 31.1 percent of these patients would have been eligible to participate in any of the selected RCTs of biological reagents, which raises questions about the therapeutic efficacy of the studied biologics beyond the limited clinical trial populations.
The eligibility determination was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria extracted from published RCTs of biologics approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Reasons patients would have been excluded included having stricturing or penetrating Crohn's disease, taking high doses of steroids, having comorbidities or prior exposure to biologics, and receiving topical therapies.
When the criteria was applied to the cohort study's presenting population, 34 percent of those with Crohn's disease and 26 percent of those with ulcerative colitis would have been eligible to participate in at least one of the RCTs. The correlating converse is that two-thirds of Crohn's patients and three-quarters of ulcerative colitis sufferers would not have been eligible, leading the study's authors to wonder whether or not clinical trial findings are broadly applicable to the real world patient population.
"Our findings are certainly provocative," Ha said. "Most of these patients would not have qualified for clinical trial enrollment, and yet they are being treated based on those clinical trial findings."
She continued, "A lot of people look at clinical trials as the gold standard without really dissecting the methodology behind the trials." In the case of the RTCs for IBD biologics, she continued, "We're taking the results from this very select group of patients, and we're trying to apply it very broadly to this very heterogeneous group."
The problem, Ha said, is only expected to amplify. Not only is the incidence rate of IBD increasing, but also patients now are presenting with more complex and aggressive disease. She noted there are a number of theories and hypotheses behind the increase but few concrete answers. "While we're learning much more about the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease, we still don't understand the mechanism," Ha said. Still, those who study IBD believe genetic factors, environment and gut bacteria all play a role in the manifestation and course of the illness.
Those turned away from many IBD trials were often excluded because they haven't done well on current medications or have aggressive disease. "Yet," Ha pointed out, "these are the people who probably need to be enrolled in the clinical trials the most."
She continued, "Our study is a word of caution to those who design the trials to try to be more inclusive of the people who need the medications the most."
Ideally, she would like to see researchers move toward much more inclusive, pragmatic trials, but she also pointed out there is much more expense in conducting such studies. "In order to detect these subtle changes, you must follow patients over a long period of time," she noted.
In the meantime, Ha was quick to say that she doesn't discount the knowledge gained from current RTCs, but she cautioned physicians to understand and appreciate the limitation of the findings in light of the large number of patients excluded from such research.
"While the data from randomized, controlled clinical trials are very important and should be used to help guide our clinical practice, they shouldn't be the absolute determinant of medication choice because most of the patients we see don't fit that clinical trial population," she concluded.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY – A poor shooting night from the free throw line finally caught up to the Saint Leo men's basketball team as the Lions went 11-for-22 from the charity stripe en route to an 86-71 loss to Franklin Pierce in the first day of the Molloy Lions' Classic on Friday night.
Coming into the game unblemished, the Lions jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after just four minutes as Saint Leo (3-1) connected on every shot they took. Pushing the advantage to 12-3 and forcing Franklin Pierce into a timeout, the Ravens responded with a 13-0 run over the next three minutes to take their first lead of the game.
An Allen Young layup would put Saint Leo back in front and start a back-and-forth battle that would carry over the ensuing seven minutes as no team gained larger than a three point cushion.
The final four minutes of the opening half would see FPU close out the stanza with an 8-1 run to give the opponents from Rindge, N.H. a 35-30 advantage as both teams headed to the lockers.
A rocky beginning to the second half saw Saint Leo staring at a double-digit deficit by the 15:52 mark as Franklin Pierce continued their run that started at the end of the first half, taking a 52-42 lead at the 12:30 mark.
One last rally by the Lions would see the score cut to 54-51 when Daniel Oliver rolled in a layup with 9:17 left but Franklin Pierce would respond with a 16-7 run over five minutes to clinch the game.
Shooting 40.6 percent (28-of-69) as a team, the Lions were led by Jeremy Jackson, whose 7-of-17 night earned him 17 points, as he was the only Saint Leo player in double figures.
Matt Kendrick took advantage of his seven foot size to pull down 10 boards, seven coming on the offensive side.
Led by Kinard Dozier's 24 point night, three Franklin Pierce players hit double-digits as the Ravens outshot the Lions in all three areas.
Saint Leo will look to rebound from their first lost as they play in the second day of the Molloy Lions' Classic. It will be a battle of Lions as SLU will face off against host Molloy College, losers of their game on Friday. The game is scheduled to get underway at 2:00 p.m. in the Quealy Gymnasium.

It's official, "Battlestar Galactica" is my cocaine; it makes me happy and energized and completely OK with the world around me. We could all use more of that feeling, and hey, this method's totally legal.
Standard warning: If you haven't seen the show, or the most recent episode, and you care about that sort of thing, don't click to the next page. There be spoilers, and lots of them; you've been warned.
My brain kind of broke after last week's emotional rollercoaster of an episode, but this week, the writer/director Ronald D. Moore decided to slow things down and focus more on the characters and their reactions rather than directly pushing the story arcs forward.
Kudos to him; I did love last week, but it was the most depressing hour of television I think I have ever seen, and I can't take that EVERY week. The break was good; and as someone stated on a message board I was reading, this is probably the last time we're going to see anything approaching humor on this show, so we best enjoy it while we can.
And there's the theme of "A Disquiet Follows My Soul." Earth is frakked up, they don't know where they're going, might as well get what they can from life. The most notable example is Laura Roslin, still hiding away from 'her' people, still afraid to answer for what she's done. So screw it, she says, as she gives up her cancer meds and finally, actively seeks a romantic relationship with Admiral Adama. About time (yes, I'm a shameless 'shipper, and I don't care).
They've earned their rest, and their happiness, but they can't stay there (and they've convinced me even more that they're both going to die). Dido and Aeneas were never meant to fall in love and happily-ever-after was out of the question from the get-go; as much as it pleased me to see them together, they're both being bad leaders here.
Their people need them, especially since Vice President/former terrorist Tom Zarek is being Tom Zarek and stirring up trouble. True, he's got a point; the leaders have failed them, are offering no answers for said failures, and are insisting that the leftover victims of genocide and oppression ally with their enemies. Yeah, that's going to happen overnight.
One of the most fascinating points in this show is demonstrated right here. Adama is saying that he needs to make all decisions related to security of the fleet, and since the military protects the fleet, he doesn't feel he needs to answer to the people. Zarek is saying that if their democracy is going to survive, the people (or their elected officials) need to have a voice in decisions that will affect their lives, but he's not offering better solutions for the future. No one's completely in the wrong, and no matter how much Zarek irritates me, if I were in that fleet, I would be on his side. Hell, I probably would have voted for Gaius Baltar too. Which irritates me, and makes me love the show all the more.
Hey, cognitive dissonance rules. And so does "Battlestar Galactica."
And just a word about Gaeta, the broken idealist; I sense a bitter end for you, and while I love you as a character, you've become part of the problem. I don't know if you'll survive this, but I will tear up if you die, even if you're a total crap bag now. That's just how I roll.

Namely: The quilted crewneck, pullover anorak and bomber. Do you think quilting details are played out already? Well guess what? YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT.

As negotiations are under way to resolve Numsa's week-long strike in the metals and engineering sector, reports of violence have prompted a rethink on how to legislate industrial action. Finding the balance, however, between the right to work, the right to strike and the right to safety isn't easy. And then there's the economy to consider.
Numsa's 220,000 workers in the metals and engineering industry have been on strike for a week, costing the economy an estimated R300 million a day, halting work at General Motors, interrupting construction at Eskom's Medupi and Kusile sites, and causing rating agency Moody's to warn SA may face a credit rating downgrade.
The Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa), the biggest employer negotiator, said Numsa has rejected its latest offer of wage increases of up to 10% for the lowest paid workers in a three-year deal which would reduce to 9% in the second year and 8% in the third. The union wants 15% and a one-year deal.
The Department of Labour held meetings with the different stakeholders over the weekend and reported progress in discussions. On Monday, spokesperson Mokgadi Pela told Jacaranda News there was a meeting...

Merrimack recruit Drew Vogler was listed as one of the NHL Central Scouting Service's Goaltenders to Watch for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Merrimack recruit Drew Vogler, a 6-foot goaltender with the Topeka Roadrunners of the North American Hockey League, has been named a Player to Watch by NHL Central Scouting for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
The CSS ranks players by letter grades and have termed Vogler a "C" prospect for the draft. There are only two "A" goaltenders listed on the North American list, including Boston College freshman Thatcher Demko.
Vogler is off to a stellar start in his first NAHL season, posting a 3-1-0 record with a 1.71 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. This past summer he took part in USA Hockey's Select 17 festival as well as participating in USA Hockey's Warren Strelow Goaltending Camp.
Vogler's USHL rights are currently owned by the Cedar Rapids Roughriders.

Adele recorded 'filthy' rap song with Tinie Tempah, but it will never be released
Everyone knows Adele has one of the most powerful voices in the music business ... but did you know she also has a mean rap game?
Yeah, we didn't either until now, thanks to Adele's close friend Tinie Tempah. According to Tempah, the singer even showcases her cockney rhyming slang and potty mouth in her never-before-heard raps.
After he first heard her rap back in 2011, he recently revealed the 25-year-old singer's secret skills while filming Alan Carr's "Chatty Man" TV show on Wednesday (Oct. 30).
"Adele helped me pick some of the songs for [my new] album ['Demonstration']," Tempah said. "She has a rap. She was with me and [rap friend] Labrinth in the studio when he recorded 'Earthquake.'"
So why hasn't Adele's rap skills been revealed before? "Nobody really knows this. She recorded a rap and she told us that if we ever played it to anyone she would sue us," Tempah revealed. "So when you talk to her next, ask her about the rap. It is really filthy as well."
Are you bummed we'll never get to hear Adele's "filthy" raps? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Midwest Living Review
Boyne City is a pretty quiet town, which makes the morning hum at the bookstore Local Flavor stand out. One regular sits out front with a cup of coffee and the paper, his dog snoozing under his feet. Pull open the old-fashioned screen door, and inside, a group of middle-aged guys who come to Boyne City every year to camp stand chat around the coffee urns. Fresh off a morning jog, another woman ducks in for a quick browse and a coffee to go. Detect a theme? This Water Street business has been a bookstore for some time, but it closed suddenly and then reopened under new ownership in 2009. Among the updates: a new name and coffee service, which apparently was a really smart move: Everyone we saw in the store had a paper cup in hand. It's nothing fancy -- you serve yourself from thermal flasks and choices for pastries are limited -- but that doesn't matter. The brews are flavorful, and the atmosphere charming, with new and used books invitingly arranged on wood shelves. A special section at the front of the store focuses on Michigan authors and subjects, and the children's area in the back offers many titles we hadn't seen before. Fiction is helpfully categorized by topic (Western, historical, etc). Though it's not a cozy coffeehouse, a handful of tables invite lingering. A love for reading, for coffee and for community is clearly on display at Local Flavor, as appealing to visitors as it is to the regulars who've made this shop a part of their morning routine.

2005 Late Harvest Gewurztraminer, Koinonia Vineyard (375 mL)
The nose on this beautiful wine is alive with a bounty of aromas. Floral nuances of orange blossoms and rose petals fill your senses, followed by peach, pear, lychee and lemon grass. Wonderful flavors of honeydew and apricot explode on the palate while sweet undertones of cotton candy and almonds provide a lingering finish.
Our 2005 Late Harvest Gewurztraminer has the pretty color of pale straw with gold nuances. Its sweetness delicately balanced by a crisp acidity makes it a wonderful food wine. Enjoy with spicy prawns on a bed of mixed greens, with a selection of cheeses or with a pear crisp for dessert. Whatever you choose to serve this wine with, make sure you have an extra bottle chilled. They are little and your company might just enjoy this nectar so much that they forget to share it with their busy hostess!

Primary schools record an increase in enrolment after al-Shabaab fighters were forced out of much of Mogadishu in August last year, allowing for some semblance of normality to return to the capital's residents.
Many children returned to school after more than 20 years of clashes between Islamist militias and armed groups and government forces in Somalia. The city's capital Mogadishu Primary schools witnessed an increase in enrolment following the exile of al-Shabaab fighters.
For over two decades, attending school in Mogadishu was dangerous for children of all ages. The violence and disorder has left many generations of Somali children with little or no education.
Many businesses and schools have begun to function once more since the African Union (AU) forced the al-Shabaab militant Islamist group to withdraw its fighters out of Mogadishu.
Figures released by the Somali ministry of education show that primary school enrolment increased by 68 percent following the withdrawal.
Officials say class benches which are made to seat three students are now seating five.
Some older students share class curriculum with students three to four years younger. However, many of them say they are just happy to be receiving an education.
"What I am expecting is a better future after returning to my former school. All I want to get is an education," said Isse Ahmed Abdalla, a grade 7 student.
"Day after day children are coming to school for registration and classes are getting crowded because people recognize that the only way they can help their children survive is to get them an education," said Ali Osman Ali, headmaster at al-Najah primary and secondary school in Mogadishu.
Education Minister Aideed Ibrahim said that parents and guardians feel more confident about sending children to school this year.
"After the security improved, children are getting the opportunity to go back to school peacefully. This is why the classes have become overcrowded in the last five months," he said.
Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world but is a rare example of how an economy can still function -- but not flourish -- without a national government.
The country's turmoil has left one in four Somalis either a refugee or internally displaced.
A 2011 U.N. report found that only 30 percent of children aged 5 to 17 were enrolled in school in southern Somalia; a total of about 1.8 million children were out of school.

I do not disagree that it is effective.....where I do disagree is that anyone would carry the thing. I am not a fan of leaving anything in your car, or having it in a bag and not on your person. It is just flat ass too big to carry.
But I do agree that if there was a home invasion there are few other weapons that would be as handy as a shotgun pistol and that goes double true for folks that are not well versed in guns in general....that is one thing a revolver brings to the table, pull the trigger and it goes bang....if it does not go bang keep pulling till it does.

Seriously, it is one of the best close range guns out there. It is not a gun to take to the range and punch paper with, but to call it a gimmick is a reach. With the right shells, it is about the most deadly handgun you can have within 5 yards of your target you can buy. I keep it in my bedroom for my fiance who would have a hard time using my shotgun.

The Bachelor
Sean Lowe Hits the High Seas: The Bachelor 2013 Filming Heads For [SPOILER]
While we're sure Canada is romantic and all, something about a climate that doesn't invite constant nudity just doesn't seem to mesh well with The Bachelor. To put it plainly, Sean Lowe looks about 194% better without a shirt on.
So, based on our incredibly well-researched statistics, we figured the next place the ABC entourage headed would have a little more naked beauty. Cue the airplanes, guys, because The Bachelor is heading south. Reality Steve confirmed this relocation as the (not so) Virgin Island of St. Croix, where the crew will be taping the next segment of dates.
While filming just began this weekend, locals St Croix Libation Society are tweeting up an irreverent tropical storm about the show's stint on the island. Tweets started out jokingly: "So The Bachelor is set to begin filming on STX, but we're not allowed to talk about it. #Oops," and playfully riffed on the show's infamous send offs with "The Bachelor filming at beautiful Buck Island today. Dismissed contestants being fed to local barracuda."
Some hints at dates that will be taking place in St. Croix? Apparently, they're "filming a totally authentic and not at all made up mock "carnival parade" tomorrow!" the STX Libation Society reports, adding "Should we make it a summer jouvet?" Another tweet suggests that a helicopter ride is in Sean's future (pretty standard on these dates — but we can't wait to find out who the lucky lady will be), but other posts mentioned trouble in paradise.
The handle lashed out at The Bachelor, saying "While we welcome @bachelorabc to STX, local business's also need to get paid. Enough with this "free rooms/services" for publicity crap." Hmm, sounds like not everything in the islands is rosey...

Sandy Carter
|This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (January 2014)
|Sandra "Sandy" Carter
Sandy Carter at Enterprise 2.0 Conference, in November 2011
|General Manager, IBM
Sandra "Sandy" Carter is an American business executive, a recognized leader in social business, influential speaker and best selling author.[1][2][3] She is IBM's worldwide General Manager of Ecosystem Development and Social Business and one of the key leaders responsible for setting the direction for IBM's Social Business initiative. Most recently, NAFE named Sandy a "Social Media Star" and "Woman of Excellence."[4]
Life and Education[edit]
Growing up, Sandy Carter dreamed of being a doctor or veterinarian. When she started college, she pursued a medical career. But one day during her sophomore year at Duke University, that ambition was stopped cold. "It turns out that I'm allergic to anesthetic," Carter says.
With the help of a professor, Carter was introduced to a professor in the computer-science department who was using computers rather than animals to test cosmetic ingredients. A new path opened up for her. "I fell in love with technology and the power that it brought to the medical field," Carter says. "I felt really empowered that IT has so much potential to help different customers in different ways." That feeling of empowerment served Carter well the following summer when she applied twice for an internship at IBM and was turned down both times. Determined to work at IBM, Carter applied a third time, but handled her application a bit differently. This time she wrote it like a Pascal computer program: If you want a great person, then do this. She sent it to the head of HR, who realized she had the kind of creativity that would make a difference and hired her.
For her internship, Carter was charged with training the HR department about computers. "At the time, many people didn't know how to use PCs, as they were trained on 3270s and all this green-screen stuff," Carter says. Her mission was to train the department in an innovative way, as the HR employees weren't technologists. She succeeded.
After graduating from Duke in 1985, Carter explored her options, including pursuing computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and applying to the business schools at Stanford and Harvard universities and the University of Pennsylvania. During Carter's interview at Harvard, two professors won her over. They believed their program would not only let her increase her knowledge of technology, but also teach her how to manage the development of it, communicate it and use it in the general public.
Sandy is an avid traveler and a lover of all things Texan. She has traveled to over 68 countries in her Social Evangelism Role. Since the early days, her interest in Science, Math, and Engineering started from winning a Science Fair project on automating solar energy. After graduating from Duke University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Math and Computer science from, she went to Harvard Business School and graduated with an MBA (Managing Technology & Marketing) from Harvard Business School, and is fluent in eight programming languages. She received a patent for developing a methodology and tool to help customers create a technology deployment path in automation of their IT processes.
Sandy resides in New York with her husband and two daughters and a Maltese named Scarlett. She loves to travel, swim, read, and watch Duke Basketball.
Carter joined IBM in 1989 as a leader of the small business focus at IBM, having roles developing markets around beauty care automation, banking, and automotive solutions. Her ability to understand and envision business trends and apply it to the IT industry was soon recognized by IBM's leadership. Currently, she is Vice President, Social Business and Collaboration Solutions Sales and Evangelism, where she is responsible for setting the direction for IBM's Social Business initiative, working with companies who are becoming Social Businesses, and being the evangelist for the concept and best practices around Social Business.
Prior to her current position, Carter was VP, Software Business Partners and Midmarket where she was responsible for IBM's worldwide software ecosystem initiatives. In this role, she created the SVP program, a best of class in industry for partnerships; Created Ready for and Powered by for Partners. She has won recognition from VAR Business, CRN Channel Champions, Xchange Excellence, and Forrester ISV Partner Program for IBM's Business Partner program. She was also VP, SOA, BPM and WebSphere Strategy, Channels and Marketing where she drove IBM's Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) marketing efforts to achieve 70% market share for SOA, and where IBM WebSphere® became a market leader, receiving more than 34 industry awards. Sandy was created a methodology for creation of new markets documented in the book "The New Language of Marketing 2.0: How to Use ANGELS to Energize Your Market"
Fast Company named Ms. Carter one of the most influential women in technology, and Everything Channels CRN magazine named her one of the most powerful 100 women in channels in 2009 and 2010.
Industry Recognition[edit]

They have taken some flak for it in the past but I have no reason to believe they're currently any worse than any other gaming company. (I'm not even sure they were any worse than most others before, though it wasn't a good deal either way.)
Granted, I'll gladly give them kudos for that. They still treat their staff like crap though.

High Rise Climb For Lung Association Fundraiser
(March 28, 2010)—
March 28, 2010
Christopher Mora-Posey could only watch last year as fellow San Francisco firefighters scaled the 1,197 steps to the top of the former Bank of America building on California Street to help raise money and awareness about lung disease and asthma.
"I showed up in moral support," the beefy 41-year-old San Francisco firefighter recalled Saturday. He was lucky to even do that.
Mora-Posey was just out of San Francisco General Hospital, where he had been in a coma for three weeks, his lungs having collapsed from severe burns when his ventilator mask was jarred loose in an explosion at a Portola district house fire Feb. 5, 2009. He also was treated for a torn shoulder and other wounds.
On Saturday, after months of rehab and conditioning, he was back - not as a supporter, but as a participant in the American Lung Association's fourth annual skyscraper stair climb.
1,200 climbers
He was among 50 San Francisco firefighters and 1,150 other well-conditioned souls who clambered up 52 stories through the heart of the former Bank of America building.
At the top, he enjoyed a celebratory bagel with his son, who made the climb with him. Then he went back to the bottom and ran up again - this time with a firefighters' air tank on his back to add to the challenge. It took him, he said, 17 minutes.
"Last year, I could barely make it up a few steps. This year, I made it up over a thousand," he said. "I'm satisfied - trust me. I envy people who went up in full gear - that's hard. It's hard to go up without anything."
About 25 firefighters went up in full firefighting regalia - tanks, coats and breathing apparatus - an outfit that weighs about 70 pounds.
Asthma no obstacle
Mora-Posey's injuries also caused him to develop asthma, but that didn't slow him down. He came equipped with an inhaler, which he used before ascending. Mora-Posey said he went up twice to be a "positive role model and be a good morale booster" at the Fire Department.
While not fully recovered - his lungs are at 90 percent - Mora-Posey was slowed on his first run up the stairs. That's because his 9-year-old son, diagnosed with Type I diabetes soon after the fire - had to take breaks.
"He is my role model," he said of his son, Siano Valle-Posey.
When Mora-Posey decided to go a second time, fellow firefighters urged caution.
"I just wanted to see if I could do it without stopping," he said. "I didn't stop. This is another steppingstone for me to get back to work."
Mora-Posey said he had suffered what could have been a fatal dose of carbon monoxide in the fire.
"I'm a spiritual person," he said. "There had to be God or angels looking over me. That and all the thousands of prayers from everyone helped."
'You will be tested'
Greg Collaco, a firefighter who oversaw emergency services for Saturday's event, said he has been doing the climb for four years, first as a participant, then a team leader. He said under normal conditions, the event is "challenging."
"Cardiovascularly, you will be tested," he said. "The lungs go before the legs do."
But for Mora-Posey the legs and the lungs went and went and went - up 104 stories worth of stairs.
"I didn't think I was going to be able to do it," he said.

Pearl Beach, New South Wales
I must correct Christopher Kofron on the cassowary (This Week, 7 September, p 5). It is not the largest bird in the world, though I would like Australia to have that honour.
Landsborough Thomson's
However, he is right about the danger. I have records from New Guinea of a man being killed in such an attack in 1964. A common belief in Australia is that the emu is our largest bird. But the cassowary is heavier, deserving the title of national giant.

NM Earns Nearly $48 Million From Trust Lands
By News Editor And Partners
Royalties from leases and oil and natural gas production on New Mexico trust land netted nearly $48 million in revenue in May.
The revenue coming into the State Land Office each month supports public schools, universities and hospitals.
New Mexico Land Commissioner Ray Powell says the goal is to create jobs while protecting the state's working lands.
In May, more than $42 million went to public schools alone. Special schools, such as the School for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Alamogordo and the School for the Deaf in Santa Fe, received nearly $2.3 million.
More than $377,000 went to state colleges and universities.

Graduate Thesis Video: Cross-Talk
22nd March 2013 by Daniel
This semester is my last at Mills College, where I am finishing up my Masters thesis in Electronic Music and Recording Media. For the past several months, I've been creating my thesis piece for the graduate showcase concert series, Signal Flow. Over the course of my graduate studies, I have worked on a lot of audio/visual pieces in the form of short videos. With this newest piece, one of my goals was to create a large-scale piece that expands on the subjects in my previous works.

Connect Android Smartphone to HDMI Monitor/TV For Big Screen Effect
Sorry, iPhoners, but this one is for the Android crowd.
I saw an interesting podcast from TWiT TV's Know How show on turning your phone into a computer. I was particularly fascinated by the fact that you can plug in a cable adapter (they demo on on the podcast) to display your phone video on an HDMI TV!
One word of caution: The Galaxy S3 has an 11 pin connector vs a 5 pin connector. You will need an adapter or a cable specific to the S3 to get it to work. This is also covered in detail in the video, and there is an appropriate link in the TWiT show notes.
MHL stands for Mobile High-Definition Link, and it apparently has been around since 2010, according to a Gizmodo article on the subject.
This would be handy for someone who travels and gives presentations a lot. It will be interesting to see if there is enough interest to propel this forward or if another competing standard will end up the winner.

The GWUH Women's Board, Inc.
A Philanthropic Powerhouse Celebrating over 112 Years of Dedicated Service
Nearly every part of The George Washington University Hospital has been touched by the dedicated members of The Women's Board. Founded in 1898 by prominent Washingtonian ladies, The Women's Board has evolved into a philanthropic powerhouse consisting of more than 70 members. The Women's Board was first authorized by a Columbian University ordinance dated April 13, 1898 empowering its founders, a mere handful of prominent Washington women, to organize for the purpose of assisting the Hospital in its advancement and capabilities by providing financial support for the acquisition of new technical equipment and other improvements and by rendering services to its patients and staff.
On October 7, 1898, the group officially organized as the Board of Lady Managers, steadily increasing to 100 members with an associate membership of which one third were men. Columbian University was rededicated as The George Washington University in 1904. A few years later, the organization's name was changed to the Women's Board, The George Washington University Hospital. In 2004, the name was changed officially to The George Washington University Hospital Women's Board, Inc. (Women's Board) when the Women's Board became incorporated. The Women's Board continues its dedicated service to the hospital, university and surrounding community.
The George Washington University Hospital Women's Board, Inc. is a nonprofit organization. Tax ID 43-2058202.

About the Instructor:
Carolyn Clark Kurek , AIFD CFD has been involved in the floral industry for over 30 years. An award winning designer, Carolyn is experienced in all aspects of the floral industry. Carolyn was an instructor for the Indianapolis Floral Design School for 4 years and has taught numerous classes in floral design with IUPUI. Carolyn has been a guest lecturer and program presenter for a variety of clubs and organizations. She has also coordinated displays and stage presentations for the general public.
Having mentored several designers and shop owners into successful careers, Carolyn realized her true passion in the floral industry was sharing her knowledge and experiences. Looking to the future of the floral industry, Carolyn recognized the need to properly train future floral designers for an exciting and creative career. With the establishment of the C2K Floral Design School, Carolyn can pursue that passion.
Many people ask how the name C2K came about, Carolyn is happy to share the story, "The C2K Floral Design School is named in memory of my late husband. When we married he posed the question of what I would use for my last name. Having already established my career as Carolyn Clark, he wondered if I would change it to Carolyn Kurek. When I told him I wanted my name to be Carolyn Clark Kurek, he smiled and immediately dubbed me C2K, and it stuck. He also was very supportive of my career recognizing that my passion for floral design was as strong as his passion for his career in Chemistry. He also was a college professor and understood the value of sharing your knowledge and experiences with students eager to learn a profession. So I honor him, in a multitude of ways, by choosing the name C2K Floral Design School."

The Blackbird,Fly is a 35mm twin reflex camera by PowerShovel/Superheadz of Japan. Powershovel designs toy cameras, these are not reproduced from some old Soviet plans or found in a warehouse somewhere. You can pickup one of these toy cameras in various specialty shops around the US or by mailorder. It takes pretty cool pictures, a BBF Flickr Group has a lot of examples of the results. I love that it uses regular old 35mm film and the exposure frame overlaps the sprockets.
And Four Corners Dark has an interview with Hideki Ohmori of Powershovel: part 1 and part 2.

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Starkville Historic Preservation Commission suggested significant changes to a draft of "quick start" design guidelines for historic neighborhoods at its meeting Tuesday.
At the commission's request, Mississippi Heritage Trust Executive Director David Preziosi created a sample of a quick reference section for a larger, in-depth set of historic neighborhood guidelines. In an earlier meeting, Commissioner Cyndi Sullivan compared the section to the "quick start" guide featured with several modern electronics, and the name has stuck ever since.
A schedule for these guidelines' development calls for the HPC to provide comments and suggested changes to the draft to Preziosi by Jan. 30. Commission Chair Michael Fazio was absent, along with Commissioner Jason Barrett, leaving Maxine Hamilton acting as chair pro tempore.
Commissioner Tom Walker was the first to pose a question about the "quick start" guide draft.
"Will there be something in the overriding document that says these quick references don't preclude anybody from having to meet the full requirements of the big document?" Walker asked. "The problem is that you're dealing with people's property. People will read things however they want to read them. If you put something in that's general, it may make it easier 90 percent of the time, but that 10 percent of the time will make it a huge headache for everybody."
Commissioners agreed with Walker on the need for a clause clarifying the document at large's power to override the "quick start" guide. Commissioner W. Briar Jones also drew agreement when he said he wants to re-evaluate Preziosi's format.
Preziosi's draft, as seen in the HPC e-packet on the city's website, organizes the guidelines into three columns: one for changes to historic buildings owners might propose, one for actions the HPC would take in response to those proposals and one for more information where applicable. The draft often uses the "More Information" column to direct readers to pages of the guidelines containing specific details.
The draft covers several guideline topics the HPC discussed in-depth Nov. 24, and Jones said the commission made a point of wording their suggestions on each topic with specific verbiage, ensuring City Planner Ben Griffith had the suggestions transcribed as the commission intended. Jones said the draft does not adhere as closely to the verbiage as he would like, he said, and he believes the chart format may interfere with the adherence he seeks.
"We took some pains to get the verbiage," Jones said. "I don't think it's going to be spelled out to a T, and that's what makes this extremely difficult."
Sullivan then suggested a "quick start" guide written in the exact format Griffith used to transcribe the commission's suggestions — headings for each potential design request with concise sentences explaining the city's response. Walker, in turn, said writing the guidelines at large in this manner would negate the need for a "quick start" guide entirely, but Sullivan said a "quick start" guide could still be useful to highlight the most common questions.
"I do like having a cheat sheet in front of me," Sullivan said. "I do want to reference other parts of the guide."
Hamilton said she did not take issue with the grid format Preziosi presented, but she acknowledged she was examining the grid from an engineer's perspective.
"We have to appeal to the general public," Hamilton said. "A very small percent are engineers."
Ultimately, the commission decided to ask Preziosi to attempt to emulate their verbiage more closely within the draft's grid format.
Finally, Jones said he wanted Preziosi to excise multiple references in the draft to "staff approval," and other commissioners agreed. Jones said all renovation and redesign requests in historic neighborhoods need to either come before the HPC or be automatically permitted by the guidelines.
"Some of these issues are going to be sensitive, and we don't want the staff or the city of Starkville to be tied up with these burdensome problems," Jones said. "Hopefully, this commission will be made up largely of people who reside in these districts... so that to some degree, tough decisions will be mitigated by peers."
