I don't remember doing my last blog from the boat. To say it has been an emotional roller coaster the last few days would be a vast understatement. I think I have a splinter in my right hand as well. The term "touch wood" has been used more times than I have ever heard. The little piece of wood mounted in the nav table is nearly worn out. Kelvin's head has a permanent dent and bruise (because every time the phrase is used he knocks himself on the head). The sentence, "If it works the way it is supposed to, we will be ok – touch wood," has been used a hundred thousand times.
Every boat is doing the only thing they can. And, that is deal with the breeze they have and make the best of it. That is exactly what we did when we split to the north. I get interviewed once every couple days from a young lady named Danielle from Volvo, and she spilled the beans that Ian Walker thinks my age caught up to me and we were heading back toward Quingdao instead of Auckland. Hmmm. Looking at the last couple of scheds, "young Ian" may have spoken a tad too soon. But, it is far too early to tell. I did place a bet with him, through Danielle...last one to Auckland buys the first round of beer for the other person's team (and in this case I believe we have 7,358 team members) when we hit the dock in Auckland. Let's see if he mans up and accepts the bet.
It has been said before and I will say it again. On this leg traditionally you have to get east in order to turn south. Will that be the case this time? We have bet on it…in a big way. Four days of horribly nasty sailing upwind worth of betting on it. We have had our moments since and look to get back into this thing, but there are no sure things out here. I wish there was believe me.
This is a quick one. Back to stressing about our current situation.

Lying Scientists, No Allies, Unfriendly Skies and a Name Change
January 1, 2010 by Chip Wood
*Surprise! Those scientists were lying to us. Leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit confirm what many of us have suspected for years—the chief proponents of global warming manipulated the statistics, ostracized anyone who didn't agree with them and used "tricks" to get the results they wanted. Told that the revealing messages had been "taken out of context," columnist Ann Coulter replied: "I have placed the words in context and it turns out what they mean is: gigantic academic fraud."
*All of our allies have abandoned us. During the past few years about 40 other countries sent troops to fight alongside U.S. forces in Iraq. Now we're down to one country with combatants there—the United States. As a result, what was once called "Multi-National Force-Iraq" will henceforth be known as "United States Forces-Iraq."
*Flying the not-so-friendly skies. If you or a loved one flew somewhere over the holidays, you have my sympathy. Air travel, which used to be a grand adventure, has become an unpleasant drudgery. There's nothing like shuffling along in your socks, or seeing your possessions—or yourself!—pawed over by some mean-spirited flunky to take the joy out of travel.
*Are you hiding a Starbucks there? Here's a strange one. Starbucks has removed its name from a coffee shop in its hometown of Seattle. Instead, the place is now called 15th Avenue Coffee. Why the switcheroo? Starbucks is conducting a test, to see if more people will patronize the store if they don't know it's a Starbucks. Mmmm, maybe K-Mart should have tried a similar strategy… such as calling its stores "Target."

Disabled Costa cruise ship reaches port
A disabled Italian cruise ship, the Costa Allegra, reached port in the Seychelles Thursday.
The Allegra lost power in the Indian Ocean Monday because of a fire in the engine room.
It was carrying 636 passengers and a crew of 413, according to Costa Cruises. Most of the passengers were from Europe, but eight were from the United States and 13 were from Canada.
Safe on land, passenger Mari-Anne Thon described her alarm when the fire broke out.
"It was extremely black smoke so we knew what was going to happen," she said, briefly choking up before continuing: "So they sounded the alarm and we went out to our room to get our life jackets and then we went up to the muster station. We all were standing there quite a while."
Fellow passenger Gordon Bradwell agreed that the situation was "a concern in the beginning because it could have been far worse than it was."
"It could have been disastrous, yes, no doubt about it," he said.
But he said the crew calmed the passengers.
"That concern lasted for an hour or two, and then it abated because we were assured that everything was going to be OK. And it was," he said.
The ship departed from Diego Suarez, Madagascar, on Saturday and was originally scheduled to arrive in the Seychelles Tuesday.
The Allegra is a fleet mate of the Costa Concordia, which wrecked off the coast of Italy on January 13, killing at least 21 people.
Most of the passengers and crew of the Allegra were expected to be put on planes and sent home almost immediately.
Costa Cruises said it had secured 600 plane tickets and 400 hotel rooms.
With power out on the Allegra, people on board had to use mineral water for washing, Costa said.
They had a supply of cold food that included fruit, cheese and cold cuts, while fresh bread was flown regularly to the ship by helicopter, the company said.
A large French fishing ship began towing the liner to port on Tuesday.
A Seychelles Coast Guard ship reached the Costa Allegra later in the day, along with two tugboats from the Seychelles Ports Authority, said Seychelles presidential spokeswoman Srdjana Janosevic.
The ship was towed to Port Victoria, the Seychelles capital.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

On Aug. 8, Kingston will host its inaugural Slug Hunt at the SLUG inFESTation.

Slug hunters can pick up their licenses, and a handy-dandy slug hunting map, at the Kingston Art Gallery or the Chamber of Commerce, and then on Aug. 8, hunting season opens.
That night, from 5-8 p.m., have your slug signed by the artist, get a certificate of authenticity and more at the Kingston Art Gallery.

AMMAN, Jordan
The Mafraq highway leads away from Jordan's capital city of Amman to the border. On the other side is Syria. No one visits there anymore; to be at the checkpoint now, as a civil war rages in Syria, is a disquieting experience, as if by taking one more step in you would tumble into a vortex towards hell. The flow of people, the terrified citizens who chose — if choice is the right word — to leave their land is one-way only, to a refugee camp in Jordan.

The ABI has issued the following information for travel insurance customers about the cover that most policies offer if people are affected by swine flu.
You can view this here
This is general advice, it is not policy specific. Terms and conditions will vary from scheme to scheme
Q1. We are due to travel shortly but my wife probably has Swine Flu. Can we cancel our trip and claim reimbursement?
A. Yes – if you visited your doctor you will need to provide a medical certificate which confirms your condition, or if you contacted the National Pandemic Flu Service, you must provide your unique ID number together with the label on the prescribed anti-flu drugs which will include your name and the date of issue.
Q2. I had to self-diagnose Swine Flu based on my symptoms and NHS advice. Am I covered to cancel my holiday even though I do not have a firm diagnosis or confirmation of medical necessity from my GP?
A. Claims as a result of Swine Flu will require a doctor's certificate confirming your condition or if you contacted the National Pandemic Flu Service, you must provide your unique ID number together with the label on the prescribed anti-flu drugs which will include your name and the date of issue.
Q3. Am I covered to cancel my holiday if the FCO has issued advice against travel?
A. No. You should contact your tour operator or airline.
Q4. Am I covered to cancel my holiday if I am concerned about travelling because of Swine Flu?
A. No. Disinclination to or fear of travel is not covered.
Q5. The airline refused to let me on board as they thought I had Swine Flu. Am I covered for cancellation costs?
A. The airline's medical officer will need to provide written confirmation of the reason for denial of boarding. If it transpires that you did not have Swine Flu your claim will be against them for "failure of service".
Q6. Whilst on holiday abroad my travelling companion caught Swine Flu. Can I remain with him?
A. The same terms and conditions should apply for Swine Flu as for any other medical condition. If the policy usually provides cover for a travelling companion to remain with them, then this would also apply in the case of an insured person being taken ill with Swine Flu if it is recommended by a doctor.
Q7. I am suffering from Swine Flu abroad. Am I covered for a friend or family member in the UK to travel out to be with me?
A. Cover would be provided subject to normal policy terms and conditions, which would generally provide cover for one person to stay with them or travel from the UK to escort them home if medically necessary and recommended by the treating doctor.
Q8. I was suspected of having Swine Flu and quarantined beyond my scheduled return date shown on my insurance. Is my cover still valid?
A. The policy would be extended until you return home and there would be cover under the policy for the costs associated with unexpected accommodation or hospital fees and the additional costs such as new flights etc. in bringing you home at the end of the quarantine period. This should be approved and arranged via the emergency medical assistance company shown in the policy.

Iconic Navy Pier is being reimagined into a bolder, greener, more contemporary urban space, following a design that grew out of The Centennial Vision planning framework adopted by Navy Pier Inc. (NPI) in 2011.
On these pages you will find renderings of the soon-to-be reimagined Navy Pier, video from James Corner speaking about the redesign and its importance to our world-class city as well as more information about The Centennial Vision and Pierscape.
Phase I of the redevelopment will occur in stages over the next 20 months. The two primary construction periods will occur between September 2013 and Memorial Day 2014, then again between Labor Day 2014 and Memorial Day 2015. Limited construction activity may take place between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2014, but will be planned in a way that minimizes the impact on Pier operations during the summer.
Phase I projects include transformation of South Dock into a more engaging, greener space with new paved surfaces, more seating and additional social areas; conversion of the South Arcade indoor walkway into a Chicago-themed food experience; and creation of a lighted water fountain/ice skating rink in Polk Bros Park.
Phase I construction will be managed by Madison Evans Construction Group LLC, a joint venture of two local firms selected following a competitive process. Madison Evans provided the most cost effective proposal and a commitment to exceed the already high bar NPI had set for involvement of businesses owned by minorities and women.
The redevelopment may also include a new hotel and entertainment district near the Pier's east end, which would expand the Pier's audience with more adult, nighttime and year-round visitors.
Originally envisioned as one of five municipal piers in Daniel Burnham's "Master Plan of Chicago," Navy Pier celebrates its centennial in 2016.

Congratulations, you're into the third trimester!
You've made it to the third trimester! If born now your baby would have a very good chance of survival, but the final three months are when all the hard work of the previous six is matured so we want to keep her right where she is for the time being. Did you miss out on what was happening to your baby last week? Take a look at fetal development - week 27. Your baby now weighs around 900 grams or 2lbs. She is probably now at the peak of her activity, before the space she has to play in begins to shrink as her body takes up more and more of it. It may feel as though there's a football match going on in there, but if all the action is disturbing you then remember that it's important for her to tone up her muscles prior to birth. Her freshly opened eyes now boast very well formed eyelashes and eyebrows. The lungs are now capable of breathing air, but need more time to fully mature, so if your baby were born now she'd need assistance breathing to start off with. Over the next trimester your baby will put on a lot of weight, in bone mass, muscle and plenty of fat.
You'll find that your physical changes are most obvious in this trimester, if you haven't already mushroomed then prepare to get big! The extra weight you're carrying around in this trimester is likely to become a burden and as your joints are beginning to weaken in preparation for birth you're likely to experience aches and pains as well as other third trimester delights, like varicose veins and haemorrhoids. Relieve aches and pains as much as you can through exercise -prenatal yoga, walking, swimming and stretching are all good – and warm baths. The baby presses down more on your bladder now, meaning that you'll find yourself going to the loo even more often. With the extra pressure you might find that you get some leakage of urine when you laugh, sneeze or cough, bringing a whole new meaning to peeing yourself laughing. If you've been doing your Kegel exercises this is when you can reap the rewards! If not, it's never to late to start... Moving into the third trimester can be as much of a shock as a relief. You may find that the realities of being about to become parents hit you more strongly as you start to think more about premature labour, your birthing options and how to incorporate a new baby into your life – whether it's your first, second or later! If you've been putting it off then now's the time to think about making preparations for the baby, getting the nursery ready - if you're lucky enough to have one -, deciding whether you'll be using re-usable or disposable nappies and buying other nursery essentials. It may seem a bit early still, but you'll soon be feeling more tired and cumbersome and the last thing you'll want to be doing towards the end of your pregnancy is trailing round the shops in a panic.
NB: All pregnancies are different and fetal growth rates vary, this is meant only as an approximate guide to development. If you have any concerns about your developing pregnancy then speak to your doctor.
Find out more about what's happening to you in the third trimester of pregnancy.
You can share experiences and join in the debates with other ThinkBaby members in the pregnancy folders. Writing a birth plan - Having a birth plan is an important part of preparing for labour, not least because you need to consider options and possibilities with your birth partner. Here's how to go about writing a birth plan. Three stages of labour - Help prepare yourself for labour by reading up on the three stages of labour.
Take a sneaky peak at what's happening next week in fetal development week 29.

KIM KARDASHIAN Phoned In Her Haiti Trip From A Luxury Hotel And Attended A Fashion Show? (VIDEO)
Did KIM KARDASHIAN merely phone in her Haiti trip from a luxury hotel and attend a fashion show instead of going all hands-on like the rest of the celebrities who were helping out for real?
According to Hollywood rumors, Kim stayed at the posh five-star Karibe Hotel in Port-au-Prince, and rode the streets of the earthquake-devastated country in a chauffeured convoy with a heavy complement of security guards that called to mind Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the country's former iron-fist dictator…
Just how badly did Kim want to salvage her tattered reputation, and pose for photo ops, that she had to dig herself deeper into the mess she's already in?
In fact, Kim's attitude during her trip so annoyed Oprah Winfrey (yes, the Oprah Winfrey), who has been there with Sean Penn for ages actually sweating it out with Haiti's recovering people.
After the requisite photo ops with momager, Kris Jenner…because, yes, Kim traveled with her own camera crew… she caught a fashion show, then went back to her $1,000 a night Presidential Suite whose amenities included a private elevator, a Jacuzzi, and dual plasma TVs.
In her blog, Kim vehemently denies merely pampering herself in Haiti and having attended that fashion show:
"Some media outlets have tried to tarnish the motive behind my visit and have written completely ridiculous and untrue things. I have ignored all of this until now… but when a magazine makes the decision to twist the truth and write lies like that, it belittles the entire experience we had in Haiti, and I won't let them do that."
But here's a video of Kim in said fashion show that she did not…we repeat…Did. Not. Attend.
Hey Kim, did you know you have an extremely well-dressed doppelganger in Haiti who enjoys working the runway in fashion shows? Imagine that.

CARTER FOSTER: Sun in an Empty Room, while not a bedroom scene in this section about the bedroom, exemplifies Hopper's interest in emptying things out. Oftentimes when you study Hopper's preparatory studies for a painting with the painting itself, you see this process. You see him putting things in the drawings that he ends up taking out in the paintings. If you look at Sun in an Empty Room against all of his previous bedroom pictures, you see this process working itself out. He's emptying out the room. He takes everything out of the room, except for perhaps the viewer. The viewer is implicated and he ends up painting sunlight on the side of a house, which is something he stated he wanted to do.
He reduces things down to their essences in this work, and it puts more onus on the viewer to come up with what the meaning is, because you don't have a figure to bounce off of. But in doing so, I think he comes to this distilled point where he was doing a lot of what he wanted to do in his art. NARRATOR: This is the last stop on our tour. The final item on the program is a video. Exhibition curator Carter Foster offers a tour of Edward Hopper's New York, focusing especially on the paintings Early Sunday Morning and Nighthawks.

Two cited for illegal drugs in WinhallOctober 22,2013Two cited for
illegal drugs
WINHALL The Winhall Police Department investigated two cases recently which both unexpectedly resulted in citations for drug charges.
On Oct. 14, around 10:45 a.m., police received a report of a stolen stove from a home on French Hollow Road. While investigating the report, officers interviewed Brian Schwartz, 21, of Winhall, a tenant of a nearby cabin and found evidence of possession and sale of illegal drugs.
The next day, around 5:10 p.m., Winhall Police executed a search warrant at Schwartzs home and discovered about 11 ounces of processed marijuana.
According to police, the marijuana has an approximate street value of $2,200.
Schwartz was arrested last week and cited to appear in Bennington criminal court on a felony charge of possession of marijuana.
In a separate case, Alexandra Thomas, 22, of Londonderry, was stopped on Winhall Hollow Road on Oct. 9, around 4:20 p.m., for a minor motor vehicle infraction.
Further investigation and a search revealed Thomas was in possession of heroin and was operating with a suspended license, according to police.
Thomas was arrested and cited to appear in Bennington criminal court for possession of heroin. She was also issued a ticket for a third offense of driving with a suspended license.
Officers with the Winhall Police Department have asked that anyone with additional information about either incident contact them at 297-2121.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

April 01, 2008
PASADENA, Calif. - This month, NASA begins the most extensive field campaign
ever to investigate the chemistry of the Arctic's lower atmosphere. The mission
is poised to help scientists identify how air pollution contributes to climate
changes in the Arctic.
The recent decline of sea ice is one indication the Arctic is undergoing significant environmental changes related to climate warming. NASA and its partners plan to investigate the atmosphere's role in this climate-sensitive region with the Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS) field campaign.
"It's important that we go to the Arctic to understand the atmospheric contribution to warming in a place that's rapidly changing," said Jim Crawford, manager of the Tropospheric Chemistry Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We are in a position to provide the most complete characterization to date for a region that is seldom observed but critical to understanding climate change."
The campaign begins this week in Fairbanks, Alaska. NASA's DC-8, P-3 and B-200 aircraft will serve as airborne laboratories for the next three weeks, carrying instruments to measure air pollution gases and aerosols and solar radiation. Of particular interest is the formation of the springtime "arctic haze." The return of sunlight to the Arctic in the spring fuels chemical reactions of pollutants that have accumulated over the winter after traveling long distances from lower latitudes.
"The Arctic is a poster child of global change and we don't understand the processes that are driving that rapid change," said Daniel Jacob, an ARCTAS project scientist at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. "We need to understand it better and that's why we're going."
ARCTAS is NASA's contribution to an international series of Arctic field experiments that is part of the International Polar Year, a two-year event focusing science and education on Earth's remote polar regions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of Energy also are sponsoring research flights from Fairbanks this month in collaboration with NASA.
The wealth of data collected also will improve computer models used to study global atmospheric chemistry and climate. This ultimately will provide scientists with a better idea of how pollutants are transported to and around the Arctic and their impact on the environment and climate.
"We haven't looked at pollution transport in a comprehensive fashion," said Hanwant Singh, an ARCTAS project scientist at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. "We can see Arctic haze coming in but we don't know its composition or how it got there. One goal of ARCTAS is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the aerosol composition, chemistry and climate effects in the Arctic region."
The aircraft observations also will help researchers interpret data from NASA satellites orbiting over the Arctic, such as Aura and its Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer instrument, developed and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.; Terra; and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation. Interpreting satellite data can be difficult in the Arctic because of extensive cloud cover, bright reflective surfaces from snow and ice, and cold surface temperatures. For example, it's difficult for researchers to look at satellite data and distinguish between light reflected by clouds and light reflected from white ice cover.
"NASA has invested a lot of resources in satellites that can be of value for diagnosing effects of climate change," Jacob said. "Satellites orbit over poles with good coverage and good opportunity, but you really need to have aircraft observations supporting those to make good interpretations of what satellites are telling you."
The new airborne view of the Arctic atmosphere combined with satellite data will provide scientists with a better understanding of the atmospheric side of the climate question.
"We're interested in data that will help models better characterize the current state of the atmosphere, to set a benchmark for them so we can gain confidence in their ability to predict future warming in the Arctic," Crawford said.
A second phase of the ARCTAS campaign, involving JPL scientists using data from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer on Aura, takes place this summer from Cold Lake in Alberta, Canada, where flights will focus on measurements of emissions from forest fires. Researchers want to know how the impact of naturally occurring fires in the region compares to the pollution associated with human activity at lower latitudes. Understanding the relative influence of each is important to predictions of the Arctic's future climate.
"What we've found before is that there's sometimes a significant amount of ozone produced from these fires and sometimes there's not," said John Worden, an ARCTAS project scientist at JPL. "We need to understand that, because ozone in the Arctic region is a significant greenhouse gas, where it will be involved in part of the warming of the Arctic region. Because the plumes from these fires can stretch across the globe, the ozone and other pollutants they produce such as aerosols and carbon monoxide can have an impact on local pollution in higher latitude cities."

Age, on-the-job injuries and illnesses, and days away from work
November 15, 2005
Older workers require more days away from work to recover from a workplace injury or illness than do their younger counterparts.
The median number of days away from work for all workers was 8 days in 2003; for those aged 55-64, it was 12 days, and for those aged 65 and older, it was 18 days.
Older workers have more disabling conditions like fractures and multiple injuries than do younger workers. And similar events lead to more severe injuries in older workers than in others.
Data from the BLS Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities program provide a wide range of information about workplace injuries and illnesses and the demographics of the workers involved. Additional information is available from "Injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among older workers," by Elizabeth Rogers and William J. Wiatrowski, Monthly Labor Review, October 2005.

Dallas, Texas—It happened inside a small Dallas apartment. Police say a 24 year old mother engaged in group sex with several men and made her six year old daughter record it on a cell phone.
"They took it too far; whatever, they just took it too far" said the woman's ex-boyfriend.
We're not identifying the mother to protect the identity of the child. But the man we spoke to at the apartment was her live in boyfriend at the time.
"I've been with her for two years. I got with her because she said the baby was mine that she was my daughter", he said.
He says he was working and didn't know what was going on until the child told him. He then called police.
"As far as details, I didn't see the videos. They got what they got, and they're doing whatever they will with it", he said.
Police arrested the woman Saturday. According to the report, the woman described what she did as a "gang bang" and said there were three separate incidents involving six men where the child recorded the acts.
Police say the acts happened between March and August of this year.
Ashley Lind with the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center says cases like this are not isolated incidents.
"Unfortunately we do encounter maternal abuse more frequently than the public is aware", Lind said.
Despite the age of the child and no evidence so far that she was sexually abused, Lind says this will likely have an impact on the child requiring therapy.
"At around the age of six, a child is developing gender identity and they're understanding the role of trusts and building relationships. And so those two developmental areas can be impacted over the course of time", Lind said.
Police are still reviewing the videos and it's possible the men involved may be charged. As for the ex-boyfriend he says it's time to move his life in a different direction. He has since learned he's not the child's biological father.
"I hope that her life is better than what it was", he said.

Is there a second Sidney Crosby?
Probably not, but Nathan MacKinnon has some amazing - if not incredible - similarities to Sid the Kid.
First of all, who is Nathan Mackinnon? He is the most talked about hockey player in these parts of Atlantic Canada and for a 15-year old, his career mirrors Sidney Crosby in so many ways when he was at this stage in his career.
In fact, 10 years ago I interviewed Crosby on the eve of a major full page story on him in the Hockey News. The News had done stories on 14-year-olds but never a full page item.
By the way, the interview was conducted in Crosby's Cole Harbour home and I was witness to the famed dryer where he took shots. I told my wife that night that I interviewed the most mature 14 year old that I ever met.
Let's count some of the ways that MacKinnon is similar to Crosby at this stage in his career.
Nathan, like Sidney is from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.
Like Crosby, he dominated minor hockey.
Like Sidney he attended the prep school at Shattuck St Mary's in Faribault, Minnesota, recording an eye-popping 85 points in 34 games.
MacKinnon was the number one overall pick of the QMJHL midget draft - the same as Sid. MacKinnon accomplished that last month, being taken by the Baie Comeau Drakkar. Crosby had a good Canada Winter Games as did the young MacKinnon.
The comparisons continue with Crosby having Pat Brisson as his agent. I'm not sure if midget kids can have agents, so Mackinnon has an "advisor," the same Pat Brisson.
This week, the biggest franchise in Atlantic Canada - the Halifax Mooseheads - who've had a porous last three years, got MacKinnon via the trade route.
Growing up in Cole Harbour, MacKinnon's parents billeted the Mooseheads.
Mackinnon thought, like Crosby, of going through the U.S. college system. Last week, when the Mooseheads got his rights, he decided to stay in Halifax and play in the Q.
The Baie Comeau team did not want to trade him as they felt he could be an impact, if not a franchise player, but there are no English schools in and around Baie Comeau; hence the trade.
Baie Comeau Drakkar got a lot for him, including the Mooseheads best player last season - Francis Turbide, and three first round draft choices.
But the Mooseheads feel he is worth it.
MacKinnon's family has followed the Moose since their inception and Nathan since he was a child.
MacKinnon is a 5'11 centre, weighing 170 lbs with room to grow. Brian Urquhart, the Mooseheads' vice-president of business operations, says the arrival of MacKinnon has already resulted in increased season ticket sales.
"Things are pretty slow in July but they have been active since we got him," says Urquhart.
Cam Russell is the GM of the Mooseheads and says MacKinnon is worth what he gave up.
"He is the best player in the draft and will in his first year as a junior, providing he doesn't get hurt, will be on the best players on the team. He is a power-forward with seldom seen top-end speed. He's up and going at top-end speed faster than anyone I've seen in a long time," says Russell, who played for the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks.
In February, he excelled for Nova Scotia in the Canada Winter Games which were held here. He starred leading the team in scoring and by a wide margin. He scored eight goals and 11 points to finish in a tie for fourth place in tournament scoring. This was accomplished with a poor Nova Scotia team.
In those games, many scouts thought he was the best player in the tournament and some suggested he's the early favourite to be the first overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft.
He is looked on as the most talent player to come into the Q from the midget ranks since Crosby, who was in Rimouski between 2003-05 where he took home Player of the Year in all of the CHL.
MacKinnon looked at the U.S. college system in making his choices just like Crosby did at this stage of his career. Crosby opted for Rimouski where he was home schooled and learned French.
He's been described as a "tremendous talent' and a "complete" player who can hit, shoot, makes plays and is an outstanding player.
He has also been described as a kid with an "edge" and very "driven" which separates him at that age.
MacKinnon's arrival has perked up season sales.
The Mooseheads for years had been one of the better teams in the Q, having made a run for the Presidents Cup and a trip to the Memorial Cup on two occasions and losing twice in game seven.
But the last three years have been bad ones, with the team finishing at the bottom of the league one season and close to it the other seasons.
The past three or four summers have been dull, hockey-wise, here and the attendance that once was one of the best in this country has had a steep decline.
That will stop this season. People are anxiously awaiting training camp and the arrival of maybe another Sid Crosby.
For TSN.ca, I'm Alex J. Walling.

Delaware students build world's tallest Lego tower
What do 500,000 Lego pieces and a group of Delaware students add up to? The world's tallest Lego tower.
At 112 feet and 11.75 inches tall, students from the Red Clay school district made the Guinness World Records book on Monday for building the world's tallest structure made of the toy bricks.
Students from every school in the district worked on the project, and the district even held a "brick drive" to collect the Legos, Delaware Online reports. It also held fundraisers and collected donations.
The 11-story tower weighs just under 1 ton.
In order to qualify for the Guinness record, the tower had to be free-standing and contain no adhesives. The previous record-holder was a 106-foot tower built in Prague in 2012.

Buffalo native cast on NBC's '30 Rock'by jmaloni
Jeffrey Schara will be seen on Sept. 23 episode
Schara is a graduate of Williamsville South High School and Ithaca College, where he graduated with his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater. As a local actor, Schara has performed at the Studio Arena Theatre, the Lancaster Opera House and the Palace Theatre.
After moving to New York City, Schara worked as an extra for many television shows and films including "Gossip Girl," "Ugly Betty," "Eat, Pray, Love" with Julia Roberts, and "Going the Distance" with Drew Barrymore.
Schara met the casting director of "30 Rock" at an acting class in January. It wasn't until the beginning of August when he was called in by NBC for a role on Tina Fey's sitcom.
"I was ecstatic that they called me," Schara said. "It's my favorite TV show!"
Schara wrapped filming in the middle of August. He said, "Shooting was surreal. The entire cast was so down to earth and welcoming. It was a really wonderful experience."
Schara recently visited Los Angeles and has plans to act on both coasts in the near future.

Worried that you're harboring dangerous belly fat? Your waist circumference tends to be related to the amount of visceral fat you have, a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology found. The American Heart Association recommends keeping your waist below 40 inches. To check, wrap a tailor's measuring tape snugly around your bare abdomen, just above your hip bones. Relax, exhale, and measure. If your number comes up a little elevated, here's what you need to do to target visceral fat. (Want the latest health and nutrition advice delivered straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Dose newsletter.)
A diet packed with fructose can make your belly bulge. In fact, adolescents in a Georgia Health Sciences University study who consumed the most fructose had about 20 percent more visceral fat than those who ate the least. Your move: Avoid fruit juice or foods that have added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Don't worry about whole fruit, though. It accounts for less than 20 percent of the fructose in the typical American's diet, say Emory University researchers.
Resistance training is great for adding lean body mass, but cardio is better for burning visceral fat. In a Duke University study, people who trained on treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes for 8 months (at the cardio equivalent of jogging 12 miles a week) lost about 8 percent of their visceral fat. Those who performed equally intense resistance workouts saw no change in visceral fat. (For more ways to sculpt every muscle in your body while torching body fat, check out The Workout That Gets You Shredded.)
Foods like barley and quinoa do more than just help fill you up. In a 2010 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who ate three or more daily servings of whole grains had 10 percent less visceral fat than those who ate hardly any or no whole grains, even when the researchers adjusted for other lifestyle and diet factors. One benefit, they speculate, might come from prebiotic compounds that feed beneficial bacteria in your gut.
The right amount of shut-eye is key. A study in the journal Sleep showed that people who logged 6 to 7 hours a night had the lowest levels of visceral fat. Above or below that range was associated with more visceral fat, with the worst numbers going to those who slept less than 5 hours. Over a 5-year span, these sleepers put on visceral fat about five times faster than the healthy sleepers did.

The data has been collected and the numbers have been crunched, and the U.S. News & World Report has handed in its homework: the 2014 rankings for the top high schools across the country has just been released.
And this year, schools from the Hartford area and Fairfield County lead the way in academic excellence, fleshing out most of the spots at the top of the Connecticut's top ranked list. (see the list above)
At the head of the class this year is
Academy of Aerospace and Engineering in Hartford, which U.S. News ranks as the state's best high school.
North Branford High School was listed at an unranked position on the report's statewide list.
The full slate of the news magazine's
Connecticut high school rankings can be found here.
Nation's Top School
The nation's top high school is
School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas, Texas.
Only one Connecticut school ranked in the Top 25 of this year's list — the state's top ranked school, Academy of Aerospace and Engineering, at No. 15.
Ranking Methodology
The report bases its findings on "the key principles that a great high school must serve all of its students well, not just those who are college bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators."
Schools were then awarded gold, silver or bronze medals "based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (January 22, 2013) – The Rutgers swimming and diving team freshman Joanna Wu (Kent, Wash.) was named BIG EAST Athlete of the Week in women's swimming and diving as announced by the conference office Tuesday.
"This is a great honor for Joanna and our program as a whole," said head coach Phil Spiniello. "I am very happy for Joanna. She is a dedicated and hardworking young athlete with a bright future as a Scarlet Knight."
Over the weekend, Wu led the Scarlet Knights with three top individual finishes as RU downed Richmond (164-135) and Central Connecticut State (219-80) at RU Aquatic Center on Friday. She took home the top spots in the 100 and 200 backstroke events with times of 55.61 and 2:01.25, respectively. Wu's 100 backstroke time was her personal best on the season. She also grabbed the first place finish in the 500 freestyle with a 5:00.77 touch and swam the first leg of the 200 medley relay in 26.10 seconds to kick off the winning squad's 1:45.30 finish.
The Scarlet Knights are next in the pool on Saturday, Jan. 26 as they host Fordham and Rider. Action is slated to begin at 10:30 a.m.
