No fluke — Spurs were in control
MIAMI — Tony Parker has been on one knee before. In the old days, he spent a lot of time praying his jumper would fall.
So he had some experience with what happened Thursday. Then, he lost the ball, by his estimation, "three or four times." He spun around with the shot clock winding down, with LeBron James hovering over him, until he ended up dribbling on a knee like a Harlem Globetrotter.
That wasn't the play the Spurs had drawn up. "He was supposed to throw a bucket of water on the crowd," one staffer said afterward, continuing the Globetrotter theme.
But the bank shot that followed, as well as the review that required officials to check Parker's fingernails, didn't accurately describe the opening game of the Finals.
This win wasn't a fluke.
This win, if anything, outlined how the Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship.
Vegas favored the Heat and for good reason. LeBron said this week that he's "20, 40, 50 times better than I was in '07," and that's a lot better.
Thursday showed that. LeBron was ordinary; all he ended up with was a triple-double.
But the numbers don't tell how the Spurs kept him under control. They had him game-planned, just as they did six years ago, with Tim Duncan protecting the rim as he also did in 2007.
Then there's Kawhi Leonard. He was disappointed he didn't get a chance to play LeBron this season, but there was a twist to that. LeBron had never seen him, either.
Maybe that made a difference midway through the fourth quarter when LeBron tried a simple pass. Leonard swept his arms the way he does — like a man with a broom in his hands — and the steal changed the game. Parker sped to the other end, spinning on Norris Cole, and the Spurs had a 3-point lead.
The Parker score was spectacular to those who haven't been watching him these past years, and common to those who have. This gets back to LeBron and his improvement since 2007.
Isn't Parker also 20, 40, 50 times better than he was then? Just as LeBron was already special six years ago, so was Parker. He was the MVP of those Finals.
Parker was still growing, though, and Thursday showed how far he has come. At one point during a timeout, he walked out to where the coaches stood on the court and talked to Gregg Popovich. Parker then turned and took a seat in the huddle — where Popovich usually sits.
Parker gave directions to his teammates as he never would have six years ago. "Timmy and Pop allow me to do that," Parker said Thursday. They allow that because Parker has earned the right.
He sees the game, and sees what is coming. He said afterward he knew LeBron would switch to him at some point, which LeBron did.
Parker also took care of Popovich's highest priority, which was the basketball. After Duncan opened the game with a turnover, leading to a Dwyane Wade dunk, the Spurs went on to commit only three more turnovers. Their total tied a Finals low.
Parker also did what he's done for so long, which is score. He had 10 points in the fourth quarter.
As Wade said afterward, he is "the engine behind everything."
But the engine was just part of a balanced, efficient game. The Spurs shared the ball, and they got quality looks they didn't always make.
"I thought we played an OK game," Manu Ginobili said. "Not great."
So while the lasting image of this game was Parker's buzzer-beater, the one play belies what is really happening. The Spurs have now won seven of their eight road games this postseason — and will get two days off before they try for another.

Falls or accidents can lead to pain, broken bones, and fear of future falls. Protect yourself and others by preparing for episodes. Simple steps can help increase your safety at home and wherever you go.
Keep all areas well lit. This helps your eyes send the right signals to the brain. It also makes you less likely to trip and fall. If bright lights make symptoms worse, dim the lights or lie in a dark room until the dizziness passes. Then turn the lights back to their normal level.
Keep a flashlight by the bed.
Place nightlights in bathrooms and hallways.
Replace burned-out bulbs, or have someone replace them for you.
To reduce your risk of falling:
Rise out of a bed or chair slowly.
Wear low-heeled shoes that fit properly and have slip-resistant soles.
Remove throw rugs. Clear clutter from walkways.
Use handrails on stairs. Have handrails installed or adjusted if needed.
Install grab bars in the bathroom. Don't use towel racks for balance.
Use a shower stool. Also, apply adhesive strips to the shower or tub floor.
With a little time and preparation, you can get around safely.
Bring a cane or walking aid if needed.
Give yourself plenty of time in case a dizziness episode begins.
Be patient. If an activity like walking through a crowded shop causes you stress, you may not be ready for it yet.
If you become dizzy or disoriented while driving, you could hurt yourself and others. That's why it's best to avoid driving until symptoms subside. In some cases, your license may be temporarily held until it's safe for you to drive again.
For safety:
Ask a friend to drive for you.
Take public transportation.
Walk to stores and other places when you can.
Don't be afraid to ask for help running errands, cooking meals, and doing exercise. Whether it's a friend, loved one, neighbor, or stranger on the street, a little help can make a world of difference.

Dedryk is fine I think but was deemed to have played Tuesday so went in before the football started.
Ted Hughes wrote:Great stuff Doug thank you.
I was wondering whether Denayer could be drafted in as fullback cover ? He seems to be two footed, quick & skillful & my only reservation about him as a player, is whether he will be quite strong enough as a centre back. But to be a fullback, he pretty much has the build now. (I recon he will play at the top level for certain, it's just a matter of where, poss midfield imo).
Was there anything to suggest they are trying him in the fullback position or was it all central stuff?

I like the idea of two defenders playing against four or five attackers - good training for the situations they're likely to confront, more and more, on matchdays.
However, overall how did Jovetic look to you ?? Would you say he's now ready to step into Sergio's boots ??

I generally don't buy food at airports because it's generally over priced. For our trip this past week I packed up bagels with tofutii, dried fruits, nuts, trail mixes and bananas for the flight and for our trip in generally. The only items that we purchased was this mediocre coffee and the smart fries which the Hubz and I had a few of and then decided they were just awful and we through them out; yes they were that bad.
I did not purchase any of these items but I did find these great vegan options at the JFK airport:

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: Your Car Is So Old…
The average age of cars and trucks in the United States hit 10.8 years, making it the oldest fleet ever recorded by analysts at Polk. This is way up from 8.4 years in 1996. Per The Detroit News, you can blame the economy and vehicles that no longer turn to useless hunks of metal and electronics after eight years. For some reason we're guessing the average age of Audi/VW products is a little lower.
2nd Gear: What's Korean For GTI?
I very much want to drive the Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Front-wheel-drive cars can be fun, especially when fitted with over 200 horsepower and nearly as much torque. For the moment, I'll have to limit the fun to Forza 4. To get an idea of how much fun that'll be I suggest you check out this video from Carscoop. An optimist sees one extra door, a pessimist sees one less door.
3rd Gear: Top Gear Isn't Sorry About India Special
Feelings were mixed here about the Top Gear India Special, which may have something to do with last year's special being quite excellent. The government of India had bigger issues than merely the pacing, pointing out it didn't like the jokes about diarrhea.The Beeb responded saying "We genuinely loved our time in India and if there were any jokes to be had they were, as ever, reflected back on the presenters rather than the Indian people."
4th Gear: M.I.T. Has A New Chrome Alternative
Chrome looks best on giant '50s land yachts, but a little touch of the shiny metal can enhance a car in moderation. Actual chrome is expensive and heavy, leading automakers to look for alternatives. One such option comes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who developed a tiny layer of glass "500 times thinner than human hair" that combines with aluminum to create a stronger chrome alternative. The creator tells The New York Times it could be used to make aluminum wheels maintain their luster for longer periods of time.
5th Gear: Billionaire Syed Mokhtar Wants All The Proton
Malaysia's Proton makes cars in their domestic market we mostly ignore, but they do own Lotus. We care about Lotus. Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary's DRB-Hicomb plans to expand his holding in Proton by $410 million and essentially take over the company Bloomberg reports. As Southeast Asia's second youngest billionaire (just 60) we're hoping he can break Lotus of their love of fatties.
6th Gear: Detroit's Economy Rebounds, Sort Of
The improvement in the domestic car industry has positively impacted Metro Detroit says a new report laid out in The Detroit Free Press. The Global MetroMoniter report said the city was 9th in growth (out of 57 cities) nationally in 2011. Of course, Detroit had nowhere else to go but up. They were at the bottom of the measures just a few years ago.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Hayao Miyazaki' tag.
We trotted out the family to see the new Hayao Miyazaki–Ghibili movie this past weekend with the kids, and weren't disappointed.
The movie has been kept unusually tightly under wraps, the promotion and publicity surprisingly low-key, and the teasers devoid of much action, even though the movie was filled with amazing scenes …
Well, now we know why, the Studio promoters must have been worried that the biopic story of the invention of the iconic Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane and the inventor Jiro Horikoshi would become a hot potato of controversy, given that it is the symbol of Japanese imperialism.
The movie, however, focused squarely, in the spirit and tradition of Miyazaki, on the development and fleshing out of the key characters … And the anime film has all the great hallmark stamps of the Miyazaki movie, masterful storytelling, and it was a story of young Jiro's coming of age, his romance and love story with a girl from the other side of the tracks, beginning with the events of Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, following Jiro's entry to the working world, and through to the days of rumours, rumblings of and the readying for WWII.
Jiro is a character that many kids will like or relate to, a boy forever with his head in the clouds literally, fixated on perfecting or improving his paper airplanes (incredibly like my son) and his later utter absorption and passion for his art/aviation engineering science. It is obvious that Miyazaki made this movie with a determination to reach and inspire the Japanese youths of today … to reach for the sky, follow their dreams in the face of adversity, poverty, disaster and against all the odds. The movie's title (based on a French quote by Paul Valery) itself gives the imagery of rising on wings of an eagle, and of seizing the day… and living to the fullest.
On the art of the movie: It is everything we love of all the greatest Ghibili hits, reminding me of scenic beauty of Laputa a little, with its very European feel to it, and the many scenes set in the posh Karuizawa mountain resort, a favorite of the Japanese Royals and elites. The movie, however, resembles more the Graveyard of the Fireflies with some of its pathos, than the recent series of fantasy-related high-octane action anime that Ghibili has turned out.
Some reservations: The bittersweet romance, great success combined with personal loss of Jiro is an aspect of the tale, as well as the dark war history of imperialism, does, however, differentiate this movie from most of the other Ghibili movies. It feels a little more grownup and lacking in childish themes, — which makes me think that the movie may be a bit slow in parts for the very young, and perhaps more suitable for kids from grade 5 or 6 onwards. The complex animation and exquisite detailed art of the earthquake and the many failed test pilot scenes (are reminiscent of all the great inventor stories like the Wright Brothers) …will however, add humour, delight the audience and perhaps be enough to keep the attention of the younger ones.
The movie is in itself fairly educational, imparting to kids a fair bit of information about the Zerofighter, life in Japan before the war, and best of all, will probably inspire considerable summer reading especially in boys. The Zero, so named because of its carrier-based Type O designation, had retractable landing gear and with external drop tanks had a range of 1,929 miles. It exceeded the Japanese Imperial Navy's specifications with a maximum speed of 331 mph and a ceiling of 33,000 feet. The keys to its superiority were speed, range and maneuverability (see Science, How Stuff Works. Read more about The impact of the A6M Zero Fighter aircraft in WWII ).
All in all, a must-watch life-affirming movie inspite of the darker connected backdrop of war destruction and militarism. Kudos to Hayao Miyazaki for trying to help Japanese youth move past their dark demons of war history.
Aileen Kawagoe
P.S. Although the mainstream consensus that the zerofighter plane was a model superior to other fighterplanes of the WWII (notwithstanding its lacking ruggedness and its vulnerability to gunfire), for detractors to this view, see Myth of the Zerofighter

KENNEBUNK — Police have released the names of the first round of alleged clients of Alexis Wright, who allegedly ran a prostitution operation out of her Kennebunk Zumba studio, charging 21 men.
KENNEBUNK — Police have released the names of the first round of alleged clients of Alexis Wright, who allegedly ran a prostitution operation out of her Kennebunk Zumba studio, charging 21 men.
All 21 individuals are charged with the misdemeanor count of engaging in prostitution.
The names released late Monday afternoon are the first of what police said will be groups of names released as alleged clients are summonsed. Police say those charged utilized the services of Wright, 29, of Wells, who they say operated a prostitution operation out of her Pura Vida Studio and an office space on High Street in Kennebunk. The alleged client list may contain more than 100 names.
Police say Wright was working with Mark Strong Sr., 57, of Thomaston, who allegedly researched potential clients and helped set up video equipment to record the sexual encounters.
Wright and Strong have been indicted and pleaded not guilty to more than 160 counts combined — Strong with 59 and Wright with 106 — including promoting prostitution and invasion of privacy.
According to court documents, investigators said Wright had sex with clients for money, and that she and Strong conspired to videotape the encounters without the person's knowledge.
The release of the names Monday came after three failed attempts by attorney Stephen Schwartz, representing two of the "johns," to prevent the names from being released.
Schwartz, of the Portland firm Schwartz & Schwartz, said his clients — identified only as John Doe I and John Doe II — are victims of the crime of invasion of privacy. He argued that revealing their identities before a trial would cause "severe and completely irreparable harm" to their families, personal and professional relationships, while potentially prejudicing the jury pool.
As a result of Schwartz's last appeal, a judge ordered that those alleged clients who have been charged but are also victims of invasion of privacy shall not have their addresses released to the public. In the press release issued Monday, the Kennebunk Police Department said it would not be providing the ages and states of residency for those charged with engaging in prostitution as it would contribute to "identifying" those who may be the alleged victims of invasion of privacy.
Schwartz said while he was hoping for a different outcome from his appeal, he respected the judge's decision.
"We filed the motion to protect the privacy rights of our clients, one of whom has been charged," he said Monday night. "I thought we provided the court with adequate and substantial grounds for granting the restraining order."
Police said they plan to release the names of other individuals charged in the case in "batches" as they become available. The process, they said, could take months.
Schwartz said he thought withholding all of the identifying information of those charged, including ages and addresses, was a good decision, as it allows protection for not only the families of those charged but for the men themselves, who he said were also victims of invasion of privacy.
He said though his clients, one of whom has been charged, could have appealed, the standards on appeal were a "high hill" to overcome.
For now, he said, he'll help his clients and "hope that people have short memories."
In the original paperwork filed with the court by Schwartz, John Doe I is described as having residences in both Maine and Massachusetts and has been told he is receiving a summons of engaging a prostitute.
"I am a disabled person," he said in the paperwork. "I am a productive member of society, I have children, and my family and reputation will be irreparably harmed if my name is revealed pursuant to the so-called 'list.'"
John Doe II said he owns a business and has a child and is also worried that a "public spectacle" will be made of the allegations against him.
"Once they're on 'the list' they have a scarlet letter," Schwartz said. "This has the capacity to do great damage."
The men charged this week include:
Gary D. Bahlkow, Jens W. Bergen, Norman P. Crepeau, Joseph P. Cuetara, Kenneth A. Fairbanks, Donald F. Hill, Monie B. Hobbs Jr., David Kline, Robert R. Labonte, Dale P. Madore, Paul A. Main, Harry J. McMann, Kevin L. Pagliccia, Claude S. Palmer Jr., Philip K. Parker, Colin P. Powers, Clinton J. Ray, James A. Soule, John D. Verreault, James P. White and Peter M. Wormell Sr.
Kim Ackley, a local real estate agent, said that disclosure of the names of the people accused of being prostitution clients will cause temporary pain for families but it's only fair because others who are accused of embarrassing crimes don't get breaks.
"What's fair for one has to be fair for the other," said Ackley, who knows several people on the list. "The door can't swing just one way."
Ackley said she believes the interest will die down once all the names become public in the coming weeks.
"These guys have got to pay the price," she said. "It will all blow over in time, you know. A year from now it won't even be talked about, once it goes through the courts. You've got to move on and go on with your lives."

Material from The Associated Press was used in this report. This story was edited Tuesday to include middle initials of the alleged johns after Kennebunk police released that information.

Item Description
Letter, A.C. Morton to Mr. Hill
Author: Morton, Albert C.
Date: April 30, 1858
Albert Morton wrote from Quindaro, Kansas Territory, to Hiram Hill in Massachusetts. Morton reported that the arrival of two new Eastern businessmen had brought business growth to the town, including a sash and blind factory and new three-story brick building. Despite these new constructions, Morton described the atmosphere as "dull". Though it was a bad time to sell land, since money was scarce, with the recent opening of Indian lands to settlement it was an optimum time to buy land at a low price.

Welcome to Expats dating, where expatriots living, working or studying overseas can meet friends, partners or potential lovers. Many have escaped unpredictable situations and climates in favour of 'the good life abroad'. People leave their home country and become expats for many reasons, be it to take advantage of more affordable markets, a new job, to study, to work, or maybe to be with other family members who are already living overseas. Whatever your reasons, things you are bound to miss are your family, friends and people you have met on your journey through life. If you are currently living overseas, we hope you will use Expat Dating to find others living in your community for friendship, fun or love. Internet dating is like a party with millions of guests, each one looking for friendship, love or romance. Why not join the party? Why Expats look for dating partners overseas >>
Quote of the day from Expats Dating: 'A stranger is just a friend you haven't yet made'

Career Center
Postdoctoral Research Opportunity in Water Resources
| *Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.
A research opportunity is available with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Center for Forest Watershed Research/Santee Experimental Forest in Cordesville, South Carolina.
Forest roads and associated stream crossing structures (e.g. relief culverts, bridges, etc) provide access for forest management. These essential infrastructures need to be properly designed, installed, and maintained for flooding resiliency and ecological benefits purposes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) manages approximately 370,000 miles of roads and at least 40,000 stream crossings along these roads. Undersized stream crossing structures (i.e. culvert) could cause significant economic losses and could affect stream connectivity, creating barriers to aquatic organisms. It is thus fundamentally important to conduct proper hydraulic design to accommodate extreme flow events impacting design life of these structures. Extreme precipitation events are growing more severe and more frequent in recent years due to increased atmospheric water vapor content resulting from rising air temperatures. As a result, land and water managers, planners, and researchers are increasingly concerned how such extreme precipitation events would affect design discharges and ultimately the road drainage facilities, culverts, bridges, stream crossings and water management structures.
We are looking for a research participant who has a good knowledge of extreme precipitation event dynamics due to changing climate and associated impacts on flooding dynamics, including design and risk analysis of road cross-drainage structures and stream crossings. Under the guidance of a mentor, the participant will examine large data sets from long-term hydro-climatic monitoring to derive precipitation intensity duration and flood frequency analysis for associated peak discharges impacting forest road cross drainage structures at three US Forest Service long-term experimental forest watersheds (Hubbard-Brook in New Hampshire, Frazier in Colorado, and H.J. Andrews in Oregon).
Anticipated Appointment Start Date: Summer/Fall 2020 (flexible)
This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and USFS. The initial appointment is for one year, but may be renewed for an additional year upon recommendation of USFS and is contingent on the availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend in the range of $6,035, commensurate with educational level and experience, as well as partial coverage (75% of total premium) of individual health insurance. The participant will also receive a travel stipend for attendance at project meetings and presentations at scientific conferences. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program. The appointment is full-time at USFS in the Cordesville, South Carolina, area. Participants do not become employees of USDA, USFS, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits.
This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), and foreign nationals. Non-U.S. citizen applicants should refer to the Guidelines for Non-U.S. Citizens Details page of the program website for information about the valid immigration statuses that are acceptable for program participation.
For more information about the USFS Research Participation Program, please visit the Program Website.
USDA Forest Service Santee Experimental Forest (SEF) is located within the Francis Marion National Forest (FMNF) near the town of Huger in Cordesville, South Carolina. Located in coastal counties of Charleston and Berkeley, the 2600 ha SEF was established in 1937 by the USDA Forest Service with a mission of silvicultural and hydrological research, environmental monitoring, demonstration and educational activities in support of sustainable forest management practices. The four long-term gauged experimental watersheds of varying scales at the SEF on freshwater wetland forests has its unique location draining to tidally influenced Huger Creek, headwater of East Branch of the Cooper River which drains into Charleston Harbor.
The FMNF is subjected to significant urbanization issues, with numerous rapidly growing urban communities found within and adjacent to the proclamation boundary. It is situated between two major metropolitan areas: Myrtle Beach (60 km to the north) and historic Charleston (50 km to the south). This part of coastal South Carolina is a popular tourist destination well known for its freshwater and saltwater recreation, golf/tennis, beautiful coastal scenery and historical landmarks dating back to colonial America. The climate is hot and humid in the summer and typically mild in the winter. With a population of over 128,000 residents, Charleston is the largest nearby metropolitan area. However, the towns of Moncks Corner (25 km), Goose Creek (55 km), Mount Pleasant (36 km), and McClellanville (32 km) are nearby.
Clemson University's Baruch Research Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science is located in Georgetown located about 60 km northeast from the SEF. Post-secondary education is available at the College of Charleston, Trident Technical College in North Charleston, Horry Georgetown Tech in Georgetown, Citadel in Charleston, and Charleston Southern.
Air transportation is available at the Charleston International Airport. There is an Amtrak station in North Charleston. South Carolina has an income tax and a sales tax that is 7%.
Housing prices are variable depending on location, but are significantly higher in Charleston County than Berkeley and Georgetown counties where most of the Francis Marion employees live. Prices for lakefront or oceanfront property/housing are considerably higher than for off-water property, due to high demand and limited availability in some areas. Rentals can be difficult to obtain in some areas and prices vary by location.
| The qualified candidate should have received a doctoral degree in a physical science (e.g., forest hydrology or water resources) or civil/agricultural engineering discipline related to environmental/water resources engineering hydrology/hydraulics, or be currently pursuing the degree and will reach completion by the start date of the appointment.
Preferred Skills:
- Strong quantitative/statistical skills that integrate large data sets from long-term field hydro observations and numerical modeling to understand hydrologic (rainfall-runoff) and climatologic processes and scaling effects, particularly in the context of climate variability and change including the downscaled ensemble climate model predictions. - Background in engineering design and risk that relates to flooding - Skilled in Geospatial data acquisition from platforms like LiDAR, NexRad, and Satellite/aerial images, pre-processing, and modeling analysis using ArcGIS and related software

Cakespy: Buche de Thanksgiving Recipe
Quirky, cute, sometimes controversial, always delicious recipes from Jessie Oleson.
Note: Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe.
Nobody ever makes Thanksgiving cakes (or if they do, they've never invited me to dinner). So in an effort to right this grievous wrong, I have adapted a traditional Christmas cake—the Bûche de Noël, or the Yule Log—for Thanksgiving.
The November version starts with pumpkin cake rolled with rich cream cheese filling, and gets even better when liberally slathered with chocolate cream cheese frosting and finished off with sweet marzipan detailing. Perhaps this all sounds like a bit much, but I assure you, one bite of the Bûche de Thanksgiving will allay such fears. Consider it a sweet alternative to pumpkin pie, and a rich and tantalizing amuse-bouche before the more predictable Bûche de Noël in December.
- Yield:about 10
- For the cake:
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon grount nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar, to dust your surface while rolling the cake
- For the filling:
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the frosting:
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 3 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Optional: Ingredients for garnish
- White writing icing
- Marzipan
- Food coloring in red, yellow and green
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed until thick and yellow. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar and all of the pumpkin, beating on high until sugar is mostly dissolved.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into egg yolk mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; fold into pumpkin mixture. Spread into the prepared pan.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool for about 5 minutes, just long enough so that the cake has set. Turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off the parchment paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the filling. In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth (it will be a spreadable consistency, slightly less stiff than a cream cheese frosting). Unroll cake; spread filling evenly, almost but not quite to the edges (when you roll it back up the frosting will fill in the uncovered ends). Roll up again. Cover and chill until firm.
Slice off a small slice from either end of the cake to ensure that it is flat on the ends--from these scraps, if desired, you can cut a piece of the cake into a small circle, which you can affix to the side with either a bit of leftover filling or using a toothpick (this will be the "branch" on the side).
Prepare the frosting. In an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and butter and beat until fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, bit by bit, until the frosting has reached your desired consistency (I used about 3 1/2 cups). Add the vanilla and cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
Spread the frosting on the cooled cake (depending on the texture of your finished cake, you might want to apply a crumb coat first, but I found I did not need to). Let the cake chill for about half an hour, and then apply log detailing to the cake--I used Wilton's white writing icing.
If desired, garnish with marzipan turkeys: mix a golf ball-sized piece of marzipan with food coloring (I used 2 drops of red, 4 drops of yellow and a tiny drop of green) to make a rich, burnt sienna type of cooked turkey color; separate into one large ball and two smaller ones; roll the large one into an oval, and the smaller pieces into teardrop shapes but with a blunt end; these are your drumsticks. Shape small bits of white marzipan to form mini bones and attach these to the drumstick pieces; assemble it all and add other marzipan detailing as desired.

Creating a self-regulatory organization (SRO) to oversee investment advisors would cost at least twice as much as providing the Securities and Exchange Commission with adequate funds to examine advisors, a new economic analysis released Thursday by several advisory trade groups says.
The analysis, conducted by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), comes a day before the House Appropriations Committee voted on a spending bill that allocates $1.3 billion for the SEC, which is $136 million more than last year's level and $86 million less than the Obama Administration's request.
The BCG study, commissioned by advisor trade groups and TD Ameritrade Institutional, found that bulking up the SEC's exam program for advisors is projected to cost $240 million to $270 million per year, whereas allowing the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to be an advisor SRO is projected to cost $550 million to $610 million per year. A newly created SRO for advisors is projected to cost even more—$610 million to $670 million per year—the BCG analysis found.
The study also found that even dual registrants (60%), which are advisors regulated by the SEC and FINRA, expressed a preference for SEC oversight over FINRA as an SRO.
What's more, the analysis says, more than 80% of advisors polled said they would prefer to pay user fees to fund enhanced SEC exams. Eighty-one percent of advisors prefer an enhanced SEC exam model over FINRA as an SRO, while 75% of advisors said they would prefer a new SRO over FINRA even if it cost them more, the analysis states.
However, both the conclusions and the methodology of the Boston Consulting Group survey were criticized by groups including FINRA and the Financial Services Institute (see specific criticisms below).
The BCG "study makes the economic case that outsourcing investment advisor oversight to FINRA or a new SRO would cost too much and is strongly opposed by investment advisors," said Kevin Keller, CEO of the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board of Standards, at a press conference announcing the study's results. The CFP Board "firmly believes that the SEC should retain oversight of investment advisors and be given the tools to adequately do the job, including the option of imposing user fees."
David Tittsworth (left), executive director of the Investment Adviser Association (IAA), added at the press conference that while "there is a compelling need to enhance advisor oversight, giving the job to FINRA would be the wrong choice for many reasons, including its lack of accountability, lack of transparency, weak track record, excessive costs, and its bias favoring the brokerage industry." The BCG report, he said, "underscores the conclusion that the best and most efficient approach is to ensure that the SEC has enough examiners."
And the boost in SEC funding provided in the House Appropriations bill—if passed—may aid in enhancing advisor exams. Said Tittsworth: The extra $136 million included in the House Appropriations bill for the SEC "is surprising and a fairly significant increase. I think the SEC can and should be able to do a better job [in examining advisors] with those extra funds."
In this political and budgetary environment, Tittsworth told AdvisorOne in an interview, "the fact that the SEC may receive more than a 10% increase for 2012 is very significant. It demonstrates that a number of Congressional leaders believe that the SEC's work is extremely important and that additional resources are required to do its job."
Upon release, the BCG analysis—commissioned by the CFP Board, the IAA, NAPFA, the Financial Planning Association, and TD Ameritrade Insitutional—immediately drew criticism.
Howard Schloss, executive VP at FINRA, said in a statement that the cost projections in BCG's study of FINRA becoming the SRO for investment advisors are "wildly inflated." The study's methodology, he said, "is flawed and not clearly explained. And the fact that the Boston Consulting Group never asked to sit down with FINRA or the SEC to discuss projected costs of IA oversight is evidence this study was never a serious attempt to explore costs."
Dale Brown, president and CEO of the Financial Services Institute (FSI) said that "The simple fact is FINRA is the only entity with the capacity, funding and know-how to effectively examine retail investment advisers, which is not happening now."
Added Brown: "When the SEC's own chair and commissioners acknowledge that an SRO is necessary, and that the SEC can't do the job, then it doesn't make much sense to keep pushing the improbable. The status quo simply continues to keep investors at risk."
But John Walsh, former associate director and general counsel at the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), who's now a partner with the law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan in Washington, told AdvisorOne that BCG's analysis is "an effort to come up with some good numbers" regarding an SRO's cost and that the BCG report would add to the debate of whether an SRO is needed. "To make good policy," Walsh (left) said, "you need to talk about" whether an SRO makes sense.
A revised version of House Financial Services Committee Chairman Rep. Spencer Bachus' draft bill calling for an SRO for advisors is expected to be introduced in the spring. However, retiring Congressman Barney Frank recently told AdvisorOne that he was not in favor of Bachus' SRO bill.
The BCG report provided the following arguments that funding an SRO would likely cost advisors at least twice as much as paying user fees to the SEC.
- The average annual fee per IA firm is projected to be $27,300 for a full "Enhanced SEC" examination program; $51,700 for a FINRA-IA SRO; and $57,400 for a new-IA SRO.
- If the SEC were authorized to collect user fees to fund only the incremental cost to hire additional advisor examiners (including supporting expenses) and not the total costs of an "Enhanced SEC" examination program, the average annual fee is projected to be $11,300, less than one-fourth the fees needed to support an SRO.
- The actual approach for apportioning the fees to be paid by IA firms will need to be determined.
BCG also said that the cost savings to the SEC of creating an SRO is likely to be "minimal because the SEC would need to spend significant resources ($90–105 million) overseeing an SRO." The startup costs of an SRO alone ($200–310 million), BCG said, could fund an enhanced SEC examination program for an entire year ($240–270 million).

The big leftwinger made strong contributions to the Canadiens and in 1952-53, Bert Olmstead first sipped champagne out of the Stanley Cup. That season, he was also named to the NHL's Second All-Star Team.
The powerhouses in the National Hockey League during that era were the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings won the Cup in 1952. Montreal captured it in 1953. Detroit grabbed it again in 1954 and 1955. But the game was all over in 1956 — the Montreal Canadiens dominated the NHL to such a degree at that time that they won the Stanley Cup an unprecedented five times in succession.
Montreal won the semi-final against the New York Rangers in 5 games, with Bert contributing 3 goals and an assist (two of those goals were in the deciding Game 5 contest).
The Stanley Cup final was like 'Showdown at the OK Corral.' The gunslingers from Detroit faced the sharpshooters from Montreal. It was certain to be one hell of a series.
In Game 1, Bert Olmstead contributed 2 assists, both on goals by Beliveau, was the Canadiens outscored the Wings 6-4. Montreal outdrew Detroit again in Game 2, winning 5-1 and Olmstead collecting 3 assists. The Red Wings rebounded 3-1 in Game 3 but Montreal brought them back to earth in Game 4 with a 3-0 whitewash. Bert Olmstead assisted on two goals, both scored by linemate Beliveau. Game 5, played April 10, 1956 in Montreal, was a 3-1 Montreal win, giving les Canadiens le Coupe Stanley. Bert Olmstead earned an assist on Montreal's third goal, a tally by Bernie Geoffrion. The assist gave Olmstead 8 during the Stanley Cup final and a league-best 10 for the entire playoff tournament.
Bert Olmstead was named to the NHL's Second All-Star Team that season.
Bert started the day at the Okotoks' Seniors Centre at 7 that morning, visiting with the residents with whom he shared stories and laughs. Most of the folks there remembered Olmstead's five Stanley Cup victories — four with the Montreal Canadiens and one as a Maple Leaf.
At ten, Olmstead toted the Cup over to the Okotoks Recreation Centre where the Black Elk Hockey Camp was in session. Students, fully garbed in hockey gear, stood slack-jawed to see the Stanley Cup arrive, and were even more impressed when they discovered the man who brought it was a five-time champion. Both students and instructors gathered around the Cup, and you just know that visions of one day hoisting the Cup over their head or sipping champagne from the silver brim were running through a lot of impressionable young minds.
Later that afternoon, Bert took the Stanley Cup to the Foothills Centennial Centre where the Okotoks Oilers, the new Western Hockey League Major Junior franchise, hosted the trophy. The team, which will begin play this fall, assisted through the evening as dinner and speeches were delivered. Emcee John Gerlitz was a genial host, mixing equal quantities of warmth and laughs. "Do you know what the Edmonton Oilers and the Titanic have in common," queried Gerlitz. "Well, they both look good until they hit the ice!" The crowd, which included Okotoks' mayor Bill McAlpine, well-known Calgary Flames' trainer and Okotoks native Jim 'Bearcat' Murray, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and members of the Okotoks Oldtimers Hockey Association, roared with each punchline. "Does anyone know what the Toronto Maple Leafs and the post office have in common? They both wear uniforms but neither delivers!"
Bert Olmstead and his wife Nora were thanked for making the day "one of the most memorable in the history of sports here in Okotoks."
"I'm a hockey man through and through," replied Bert, who'll turn 79 on September 4. "I have a lot of love for the game and for what it means, so I'm happy to have the Stanley Cup once again. I'm excited to share this with Okotoks, I'm happy for the town, for the Olmstead family and for hockey!"
The ovation was more than well-deserved.
In 1939-40, Pike's rookie season, the Rangers finished the regular campaign in second place, just behind the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins. Those same two teams met in the playoff semi-final.
The opening game went scoreless until midway through the second period, and New York went on to blank Boston 4-0. Game 2 saw the Bruins double the Rangers 4-2 in a penalty-filled contest. Brothers Muzz and Lynn Patrick scored in Game 3 but it wasn't enough as Boston edged New York 4-3. Davey Kerr, the Rangers netminder, earned his second shutout of the playoffs, backstopping the Rangers to a 1-0 win in Game 4. Game 5 was also a tight affair, with Babe Pratt's third period goal making the difference in another 1-0 win for New York and another shutout for Kerr. In Game 6, with Boston missing Art Jackson, Mel Hill and Dit Clapper to injuries, the New York Rangers eliminated the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-1. Alf Pike scored New York's first goal of the game.
The Stanley Cup final saw the Rangers challenged by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto agreed to play back-to-back games in New York because the Ringling Brothers Circus was booked for Madison Square Garden on April 4.
Toronto won Game 3, 2-1 then followed with a 3-0 win as Turk Broda recorded the shutout.
With the series tied at two wins apiece, Game 5 saw the Leafs make some changes in their lineup. Hard-hitting Bucko McDonald and Reg Hamilton replaced Jack Church and Red Horner, but the changes were moot as New York doubled the Leafs 2-1.
In Game 6, Toronto tinkered again. Horner and Church were returned to the lineup (it would be Red Horner's final NHL game). Toronto led 2-0 until Neil Colville and Alf Pike scored in the third to tie the contest. In overtime, Bryan Hextall potted the winner to give the New York Rangers the Stanley Cup!
Through the afternoon, Pike graciously offered the Cup to help raise essential funding for the Calgary Minor Hockey Association. The Stanley Cup was displayed from 1:00 until 5:00 PM at the Chestermere Water Festival, where a donation to minor hockey earned you a photograph with the Cup. Any youngster wearing a hockey jersey received a picture for free.
Alf grew tired as the day grew longer and excused himself, knowing that he had made a difference by sharing his past glories with his adopted home.
After three seasons starring for the University of Denver Pioneers, and earning Second Team All-Star status in 1959-60, John MacMillan was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 1960-61 season and split the campaign between the big club and their AHL affiliate in Rochester. Johnny split 1961-62 between Toronto and the AHL Pittsburgh Hornets, but when the NHL post-season began, MacMillan was on the Leafs' active roster.
John dressed for Toronto in three games of the Stanley Cup final in 1962-63 as well. MacMillan was inserted into the line-up of Games 3, 4 and 5 against the Red Wings as the Maple Leafs won their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship. For a second year in a row, Johnny had his name engraved on the Stanley Cup, although in '62-63, for some inexplicable reason, John Stewart MacMillan is immortalized as 'C. MacMillan.'
69-year-old John MacMillan spent two hours, starting at 10 AM, at the retirement home in Milk River and later stopping at the local hospital. At each stop, MacMillan had photo cards of himself with the Leafs that he was more than willing to sign for anyone who asked.
At noon, Johnny gathered some of his old friends and ate lunch with them. As much as he tried to catch up on the group's events, most were enthralled with the Stanley Cup's presence.
Milk River is renowned for its terrain — rich farmland surrounded by dramatic mountains and big sky so familiar to those of the Midwest. But the area is also well-known for its history. Nearby Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park showcases the petroglyphs of ancient aboriginals. The Milk River Ridge is the site where, in 1987, a local teenager discovered a nest of petrified dinosaur eggs. To celebrate the local history, Milk River has an enormous replica dinosaur beside its tourist information centre; perfect for photo souvenirs or shots with the Stanley Cup.
Autographs and photographs followed, along with a visit with the Stanley Cup in the council chambers by the South Country Sabres, the region's midget 'A' team.
John and his family were eating dinner with the Stanley Cup at Milk River's Southgate Hotel when they came upon an idea. "Let's cross the border into Montana," John suggested. "I'll bet the Cup has never been there." The group arrived at the customs building and impressed the staff with hockey's glorious trophy. John was invited to climb to the roof of the building where he held the Stanley Cup while straddling the border -- one leg in Canada and the other in the United States.
The group decided to celebrate with a toast in a nearby bar. Sweetgrass, Montana looked like it was out of a Hollywood western. With classic old rickety buildings that looked like they were new at the turn of the previous century, all that was missing were tumbleweeds scooting across the landscape. The saloon of choice in this village of 100 citizens was the Glocca Morra. A toast was made to John MacMillan and his day with the Stanley Cup. "I think it's pretty phenomenal," MacMillan responded. "I can't find the words to describe it."
Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Vic entered the NHL through the portals of the Chicago Blackhawks during the 1949-50 season. In December 1950, Stasiuk and Bert Olmstead were shipped to Detroit in exchange for Stephen Black and Lee Fogolin. As a part-timer, traveling back and forth between the minors and the big club, Vic Stasiuk earned his first Stanley Cup championship in 1952, repeating in 1954 and 1955.
Vic Stasiuk brought the Stanley Cup back to his hometown on Tuesday, August 16. "I feel very privileged and honoured to bring the Cup back to Lethbridge," beamed Stasiuk.
After 4:00, Vic, his wife Mary, their three daughters and son returned to their home where guests awaited. Vic uncorked a bottle of champagne given to him by long-time friend Johnny Bucyk. Then, from 6:00 until 9:00 PM, the Stanley Cup was taken to the Paradise Canyon Golf Club where members, friends and family got the opportunity to fawn over the Cup. Any donations given were presented to the club's junior golf program.
Although Vic was part of three Stanley Cup-winning teams in Detroit, his name is only engraved on the world's best-known trophy twice — 1951-52 and 1954-55. In 1953-54, even though Vic played 42 games with the team, he was injured during the playoffs and his name omitted from the Cup. "We never got the chance to spend any time with it (the Stanley Cup). We didn't get to parade it around like they do today. I've seen it once since then (mid-fifties), when Jamie Pushor (of the 1996-97 Detroit Red Wings) brought it back to town a few years ago. But I was so excited to just hold it over my head that I never looked for my name!"
On Friday, Stanley Cup Journal turns the page and reveals what Wally Stanowski and Bob Hassard, both former members of the Toronto Maple Leafs, did on their day with the Cup.

Greetings, and Dear Laura
It seems like just yesterday that we were in Chicago for Stitches. That was so much fun! Our trip back in rental cars went so well that we've decided to skip the train next year and drive both ways. No more delays and cancellations for us!
Your hubby's Christmas sweater has grown since I saw you. I always love how you calculate needed progress to make goal. It's much more precise than my 'just keep knitting and it will get done' approach.
I've been frogging a lot lately. I was working on these socks when I saw you. They were my July project that ran into August. And September. October is looking likely. I was finishing the first foot in August when I noticed a glaring error and had to frog back to the ankle. I did finish that first sock and promptly cast on the second. I was almost to the heel when I discovered that I had switched from 3x2 rib to 2x2 rib. FROG! So I still have most of the second sock yet to go.
Early in September I decided to make a 'quick' pair of socks for my sil Chris. She's been sick for several months now. They've diagnosed a problem with her gallbladder (which took 6 weeks to determine) and now she needs to find a surgeon who will agree with the specialist that it should be removed. In addition, they are installing a new furnace this fall and we have had rather chilly weather here, especially at night. I thought that a pair of worsted weight socks would be quick to knit and help her feel warm and cared for.
I used a Malabrigo worsted with a contrast yarn. At first it went really well. I cast on just before a road trip to a reunion and since I didn't do any driving, I completed the first sock in one day!! I cast on the second sock immediately, but the following weekend we hosted another reunion and knitting time was hard to come by. I got serious about it again the day after the reunion - and that's when I noticed that the almost-completed cuff was in 2x2 rib instead of 2x2 garter rib!!! I evidently have rib issues.
The socks are now complete (and matching!) and warming her feet. Back to the July-August-September-October socks!!
I also want to show off this beautiful iPad2 case that knitting@lunch made for me!! The color is a darker purplier color than it appears and I love it very much. Stylish and cushy at the same time!!
Keep knitting!
Cynthia (aka Designated Knitter )

- Luna Lovegood: "There are ways of flying other than with broomsticks."
- Ron Weasley: "I s'pose we're going to ride on the back of the Kacky Snorgle or whatever it is?"
- Luna Lovegood: "The Crumple-Horned Snorkack can't fly..."
- — Luna Lovegood to Ron Weasley in 1996[src]
The Crumple-Horned Snorkack is an elusive magical creature believed to live in Sweden. However, it was never found (even by Luna Lovegood, a wizarding naturalist who searched the globe for impossible creatures for years) and is very likely a delusion of Xenophilius Lovegood.[1] Outside of the Lovegood family, Colin Creevey also seemed to believe in the existence of the creature, once expressing an interest in being hired by The Quibbler to try and photograph one.[2]
Luna Lovegood and her father, Xenophilius Lovegood, who often printed stories of the Snorkack in his magazine The Quibbler, made an expedition to Sweden during the summer of 1996 to search for the Snorkack, but were unsuccessful in locating their elusive quarry.[3]
At some point in 1997, Mr Lovegood purchased what he believed to be the horn of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack, as a gift for his daughter. When Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger visited him, the latter pointed out that it was in fact an Erumpent horn and dangerous, but Xenophilius refused to listen. When a Stunning Spell struck the horn in the skirmish that shortly ensued, the horn blew up, destroying most of the house. The Lovegoods believed that the horn would repair itself.[4]
After the Second Wizarding War, Luna would go on to become a famous wizarding naturalist and would discover many magical creatures, though she never found a Snorkack. She eventually realised that some creatures simply do not exist, and accepted that the Crumple-Horned Snorkack never existed.[5]

Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1¶
Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 on December 16, 2011 (Downloads are available from Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 downloads and from the Percona Software Repositories).
Based on MySQL 5.1.60, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.1.60-13.1 is now the current stable release in the 5.1 series. All of Percona 's software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.1.60-13.1 milestone at Launchpad.
Bug Fixes¶
- SHOW SLAVE STATUS could give incorrect output with master-master replication and using SET user variables. This could only occur with a sever having both master-master replication and --log-slave-updates enabled. This is also filed in MySQL bug tracker, but not fixed in upstream MySQL at the time of this Percona Server release. Bug Fixed: #860910 (Alexey Kopytov)
- MyISAM repair-by-sort buffer cannot be more than 4GB even on 64bit architectures. With this bug fix, both the server option --myisam-sort-buffer-size and the myisamchk --sort-buffer-size can be set to values over 4GB on 64bit systems. For users with large MyISAM tables, this could be a great improvement in myisamchk, CREATE INDEX and ALTER TABLE performance. Bug Fixed: #878404 (Alexey Kopytov)
- The atomic operations used in Response Time Distribution on 32bit systems could (in theory) be optimized incorrectly by the compiler. This has not been observed in the wild and may only be an issue with future compilers. With this bug fixed, we have corrected the inline assembly to always produce correct compiled code even if future compilers implement new optimizations. Bug Fixed: #878022 (Laurynas Biveinis)
- GCC 4.6 has expanded diagnostics and compiler warnings. We have audited and fixed these warnings for Percona Server 5.1, finding that the warnings were benign. Bug Fixed #878164 (Laurynas Biveinis)
