This just in: the Edmonton Oilers won't have to spend an early draft pick on a defensive prospect this summer. The cupboard is full. And then some. Justin Schultz was the big addition to the blueline last summer and has been splendid. Edmonton's future blue already at the NHL level (Smid, Petry, now Schultz) increased the moment he stepped onto NHL ice. Once they find a fourth, the organization may even be able to deal from strength–although defensemen get injured so much, stop developing so often and slow down so quickly having a few extra is never a bad idea.
This has been a strong season for developing blue at all levels. Many of the kids outside pro hockey will be pushing to graduate this season. One player who won't be turning pro?
Back in December, I ranked them thusly:
- Justin Schultz
- Oscar Klefbom
- Martin Marincin
- Martin Gernat
- David Musil
- Dillon Simpson
- Joey Laleggia
- Colten Teubert
- Taylor Fedun
- Brandon Davidson
- Kyle Bigos
- Erik Gustafsson
Now? I think this is closer to current reality
- Justin Schultz (-)
- Oscar Klefbom (-)
- Martin Marincin (-)
- David Musil (+1)
- Dillon Simpson (+1)
- Martin Gernat (-2)
- Joey Laleggia (-)
- Taylor Fedun (+1)
- Erik Gustafsson (+3)
- Brandon Davidson (-)
- Kyle Bigos (-)
- Colten Teubert (-4)
Some notes on the top 6:
- Schultz is going to play in the NHL for a decade plus. He's outstanding with the puck, has issues without but doesn't lack toughness or ability. He's strong and battles. Opposition forwards may win the puck, but they're going to have to work like buggers to do it.
- Klefbom's season was lost, but the performance of Jonas Brodin in Minnesota perhaps gives us hope. I expect the Oilers to give him every chance to make the big club in the fall, but believe a season in OKC would be the wiser path.
- Marincin has kept his spot in line with an uneven but overall satisfying rookie season in OKC. He's a bit of a roverboat gambler–Oilers have a few–but he's reached the AHL and didn't falter. He should build on it next season and could be an NHL player by the end of his entry level deal.
- Musil moves up based only on how much I got to see him this season and how very good he is defensively. He's also strong–just like his Dad–and I think he could be another Laddy down the road (skating aside). Folks, I don't know enough about projecting hockey players to say with authority that he'll be able to play NHL level hockey with his footspeed; but if he can, David Musil will have a long career.
- Simpson has moved up the UND depth chart smartly this season and another year should make him the best graduating college player (Oiler division) since Jeff Petry turned pro. He's a rock solid prospect.
- Martin Gernat moves down for a few reasons. I have had my suspicions about disconnects between player and organization but have not seen any public or private verbal about specifics. So, I'm left with the fact that this is a young, talented teenager far from home who perhaps marches to the beat of his own drum. Why does that mean moving him down two notches? Quality of competition and history. The fact the Oilers have not yet signed him is further evidence of a disconnect.

Blast at Syrian regime building in capital kills 5By BARBARA SURK and ALBERT AJI
The Associated Press | December 13,2012AP PHOTO
Syrian men use sledgehammers to break the concrete of a residential building destroyed in a government airstrike, while searching for belongings under the rubble, in Maarat Misreen, near Idlib, Syria, Wednesday.BEIRUT Three bombs collapsed walls in the Syrian Interior Ministry building Wednesday in Damascus, killing at least five people, as rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad edged closer to the capital, the symbol of his power.
The blast came as more than 100 countries recognized the opposition umbrella group as the legitimate representative of Syria, a diplomatic blow to Assad.
Five people were killed in the Wednesday attacks and 23 others were injured in the attacks, according to a statement by the Interior Ministry.
Such bombings have been a trademark of Islamic radicals fighting alongside the rebels, raising concerns about the extremists role in the civil war.
Wednesday afternoon, attackers detonated two explosive devices before an explosives-laden car went off near the entrance of the Interior Ministry building in Kafar Souseh district in Damascus. The blast knocked down walls inside the ministry building, scattering debris on the street and shattering windows in nearby structures, including at the Egyptian Embassy.
Police cordoned off the area. The pro-government Al-Ekhbariya TV showed splotches of blood on the street in front of the ministry.
Syrian TV said the Interior Minister Mohammed al-Shaar and senior officials at the ministry were unharmed.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts. An al-Qaida linked group, Jabhat al-Nusra, has claimed many deadly bombings inside Syria in the past.
Rebels have targeted the center of Damascus with bomb attacks in the past, most dramatically in July when they detonated explosives inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed four top regime officials, including Assads brother-in-law and the defense minister.
Opposition fighters have been making inroads in their advance toward Damascus, capturing military bases as fighting intensified in the southern districts of the Syrian capital and its suburbs.
The conflict started nearly 21 months ago as an uprising against Assad, whose family has ruled the country for four decades. It quickly transformed into a civil war.
According to activists, more than 40,000 people have been killed since March 2011.
On the political front, more than 100 countries recognized a new opposition coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people during an international meeting being held in Morocco. The U.S. also has declared the coalition is the legitimate representative of its countrys people. The moves open the way for greater humanitarian assistance to the forces battling Assad and possibly even military aid.
The presence of extremist groups among the rebel forces has raised concerns in the U.S. and other nations that are supporting the opposition in Syria. They do not want to see extremists gain power in the region. The U.S. has blacklisted Jabhat al-Nusra Arabic for Victory Front as a foreign terrorist organization and said the group was part of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Al-Nusra fighters appear to be among the most effective fighting forces on the rebel side, spearheading many recent gains.
Western officials have raised concerns that an increasingly desperate Assad might unleash his chemical weapons stockpiles against rebels.
A U.S. official said Syria fired several Scud missiles at rebel positions in recent days. The missiles can carry chemical weapons, but the official said there was no evidence they were used. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Syria is believed to have a formidable arsenal of chemical weapons, including sarin and mustard gas, although its exact dimensions are not known. Syria is not a signatory to the 1997 Convention on Chemical Weapons and thus is not obliged to permit international inspection.
The government in Damascus has been careful not to confirm it has chemical weapons, while insisting it would never use such weapons against its own people.
On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch accused the Syrian military of using air-delivered incendiary bombs in at least four locations across Syria since mid-November.
At least 91 people were killed in fighting nationwide on Wednesday, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that relies on reports from activists on the ground. Most heavy fighting was concentrated on the northern city of Aleppo, Damascus suburbs and northern province of Deir el-Zour.
An international aid group said tens of thousands of Syrians, many of them wounded, are trapped in Deir el-Zour, due to intense fighting and bombing.
In a statement Wednesday, Doctors Without Borders said local residents reported the city of Deir el-Zour is being shelled and bombed daily. There is only one makeshift hospital with four doctors in Deir el-Zour, and those doctors are completely exhausted after six months of working in a combat zone, said Patrick Wieland, a coordinator for the group. He said it is virtually impossible to obtain medical supplies in the besieged city.
In northern Syria, rebels clashed with pro-government Kurdish gunmen near the city of Ras al-Ayn along the border with Turkey, according to an official in the mayors office in the Turkish border town of Ceylanpinar. At least 17 wounded Syrians were brought over to Turkey for treatment, and several died, the official said.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Turkish government rules bar civil servants from speaking to journalists without prior authorization.MORE IN Wire NewsNEW YORK Terence J.

Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells will have office hours on March 8th from 8:00-9:30am at the City Vista Busboys & Poets (1025 5th Street NW). This is an excellent opportunity to gain face time with both the Councilmember and his staff.
Ward Redistricting
Incorporating population counts from the 2010 Census the D.C. government was tasked to revise Ward boundaries to comply with district law. Wards are allowed to vary plus or minus 5 percent from the average derived from dividing the citywide population by eight. Under this criteria Ward 2 needed to shrink in size while Wards 7 & 8 needed to grow.
Last Thursday the Subcommittee on Ward Redistricting returned their recommendations. As Ward 6 is nested between Wards 2 and 7 its borders incurred the most change. I believe I read that 12% of the population of Ward 6 was affected in some way. While the eastern border of Ward 6 also changed substantially the western edge is in close proximity to our neighborhood and deserves a closer look on this blog. The changes
The changes reunite Penn Quarter and Chinatown from fractured between Wards 2 and 6 to fully within Ward 2. Ward 2 punts Shaw to Ward 6 to facilitate the swap while making sure to keep the Convention Center in the process. The committee's recommendations have elicited the term "Jackmandering" to bring attention to how the Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans, who was on the subcommittee, seemingly carved out all the large real estate assets along the border for his jurisdiction and pushed the higher crime areas to Ward 6 to deal with.
May MVSNA Meeting
This month's Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association (MVSNA) membership meeting will be held on Tuesday May 17th at 7:30pm in the community room of the Yale Loft condominiums (437 New York Ave NW).

If you haven't already, try the interactive redistricting tool the Greater Greater Washington blog created to crowdsource data on the redistricting.
What are your thoughts on redistricting? Do you prefer the Triangle to stay in Ward 6? Or should it be assigned to whatever Ward will keep it connected to Mount Vernon Square?

DDOT to Unveil Proposed Streetcar System Plan
DDOT spokesperson John Lisle sent out an announcement yesterday that the agency will unveil it's proposed streetcar system plan a series of public meetings scheduled in every ward. The meetings kick off next Thursday October 22nd with the Ward 6 meeting (our ward) at J.O. Wilson Elementary (660 K Street NE) from 7 pm – 8:30 pm.
During the tenure of Mayor Anthony Williams two disconnected streetcar alignments, one on H Street NE, and the other in Anacostia were planned and the trams were ordered from the Czech Republic based Inekon. The order was fulfilled by Inekon years ago but the trams remain in the Czech Republic as progress on the project stalled. Finally in 2009 with the appointment of new DDOT director Gabe Klein tracks have begun to be installed on Benning Road NE and in Anacostia along Firth Sterling.
In early August, at a public forum held in the Atlas Theatre on H Street NE, Klein pledged to place streetcars back on the front burner stating the sluggish progress on the project was unacceptable. These public meetings in each ward will give District residents an opportunity to hear about the current progress and view updated plans for future streetcar lines across the District.
What does this mean for the Mount Vernon Triangle? One goal DDOT has is to connect the H Street NE/Benning Road streetcar line to the K Street Transitway which will run from Mount Vernon Square to Georgetown. I pondered two potential alignments for that connection back in April. I have a reputable source that says we should expect when the system is unveiled the MVT segment will use New Jersey Ave and K Street then connect to the H Street NE segment behind Union Station on the Hopscotch Bridge.
That NJ/K alignment makes a solid sense as both streets have wide right of ways and streetscape money already earmarked in the coming years. I don't have any information on timing or station locations but perhaps some of the details we crave will be shared at these public meetings.
UPDATED [10/15/2009 11:10AM]: Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy wells tells the Washington Business Journal the H Street NE/Benning streetcar line is his primary project.

Residential Parking Protection Pilot Act
Yesterday David Alpert of the Greater Greater Washington blog reviewed the proposed Residential Parking Protection Pilot Act. This Ward 6 pilot act, which has a hearing at 11am today, will require that one side of all residential streets within a RPP zone be reserved for Zone parking permit holders. Alpert stated without balance the parking bill will hurt business then followed up with his five suggestions to improve the RPP program.
I do not agree with the blanket nature of the program. In my eyes all residential streets are not equal in nature but these modifications to the RPP program appear to treat them as such. The armchair urban planner in me believes that in mixed use high-rise districts, such as Penn Quarter and Mount Vernon Triangle, the on-street parking on commercial corridors should be metered to encourage high turnover. Long term parking should be primarily in parking garages which all these new construction buildings have. Modest amounts of RPP can be setup on street segments that lack retail space. Having a resident's car, which has an RPP permit that costs $15/yr, squatting in a spot in front of Busboys for six days straight without moving will harm our retailers and in turn impact vibrancy of the neighborhood.
The above map mock up represents my rough draft vision of how parking permit zones and meters could be outlayed in the Mount Vernon Triangle (and surrounding area) considering the future plans for development in the Mount Vernon Triangle Action Agenda. My map preserves metered parking on both sides of streets that have significant commercial uses (such as 7th, H & K Streets). It also allows other streets that are purely residential and church uses to have both sides of the streets available for RPP.

Council Passes Gutted Noise Bill & Single Sales Moratorium Deferred
Tuesday morning DC City Council voted on several issues with great relevance to the downtown and Triangle areas. The Council gutted the Noise bill before passing it.
The Single Sales of alcoholic beverages were also discussed. These single sales are magnets for loitering, public drunkenness, trash, panhandlers, and public urination. Miles Groves, of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, recapped the Council's decision this way: "It was decided not to amend the current bill, but to create a new bill for Ward 6 and for ANC2c and ANC2f. The new bill should be read in two weeks, followed by a public meeting. After that, there will be a second reading and we hope the bill passes before the council goes into recess."
Other blogs have written about this with greater detail and knowledge than I could ever impart. Below I've listed a roundup of links from DC blogs recapping the issues. I found the Cary for Council post to be the most informative although some of the others have good discussions in the comments.

I have an appreciation for the Orthodox Church, especially the Russian Orthodox, as they have influenced one of my personal heros Chiune Sugihara, it makes me feel uneasy to know that the church is trying to put down legitimate dissent. Further, it is unacceptable to use religious language to cover up their own corruption deflection legitimate criticism.
As one of the greatest teachings of Jesus according to the Gospel of Matthew
Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.
It's an imperative to take seriously the critique given to us and to transform that, rather than shuck aside the criticism as though those failings don't exist to point out a miniscule failure in the other.
The contradiction is rife especially in religious circles, this event just shows you one facet of our failings.
Sunday news programs are completely dominated by Republican white men.

An excerpt from the AJE article is below, something that is unfathomable in the US criminal justice system.
"If convicted, the 33-year-old faces a 21-year sentence that could be extended indefinitely if he is still considered a threat to society. If deemed to be insane he would face closed psychiatric care, possibly for life."

Maybe it's time to emphasize rehabilitation as a goal of the criminal justice system rather than punishment. Maybe it's time to restore the humanity to those who have turned to committing the most inhumane crimes. Or does engaging those that have turned to inhumane acts, such as Brevik, show us a reflection of the darkest and most inhumane within us, which we would rather lock up and throw the key away or simply vanish from our sight and thought so that we ourselves aren't reminded of the the inhumane within us; someone that looks like Breivik, acts like Breivik, and thinks like Breivik.
So some of the news from the "flytilla," and this is how the Israeli government reacted.
Check out this clip for a digest of the story.
Yes, people should be protesting the Syrian regime and the Iranian regime too, but systematic land confiscation and "separate but equal," treatment should be protested too.

The latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that the second wave of the swine flu has peaked, nationally. For the fourth week in a row, flu reports are down.
But Dr. Ruth Carrico, a University of Louisville Assistant Professor of Health Promotion and Behavioral Science says "not so fast,"
a third wave is likely to hit within months, and could be compounded by increases in seasonal flu and other respiratory illnesses.
"We should expect another wave," Carrico said, "We should perhaps expect multiple other waves over the course of the next
months or year."
And Carrico says it's "reasonable to think" that we may see another H1N1 upswing as soon as January, no coincidence that
comes after holiday activities.
"We get out of our routine. We all get together. We go to the shopping malls. We get together as family. We have multiple
generations together."
She says don't let your guard down. Keep using good hand hygiene, cough into your elbow, don't go to work if you're sick,
and if you haven't already gotten the vaccine, Carrico says, get vaccinated.
Tuesday marked the second of 15 days of mass immunizations in Jefferson County Public Schools, parochial schools and some other private schools. The health department school immunization effort in JCPS is due to be complete by December 18.
Based on enrollment figures and vaccination numbers released by the Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, about
33% of students at participating schools received immunizations in the first day of the school effort in Jefferson County. Of a combined total enrollment of 6,980 students on Day 1, 2,336 were immunized.
Meanwhile, the Oldham County School District reports that 236 of about 600 students at East Oldham Middle School were immunized on Tuesday morning. And, based on parental consent forms due in advance, of the total middle and high school enrollment of 6,358 students in Oldham County, only 2,152 have requested the vaccine.
School and health officials stress that some students might have received immunizations elsewhere, including public vaccination
clinics and at doctors offices.
Carrico says the vaccination effort has worked to limit the spread of H1N1, but that people should not be lulled into thinking that it's over, that even some who have been immunized may still get sick, and because some people infected with H1N1 don't exhibit serious symptoms, those carriers are infectious without knowing it.
"There is no third option," Carrico explained, "You're going to be sick or you're going to be immunized. It may not be now,
but in some wave when this comes back, that it will ultimately impact all of us."

Arizona Wildcats
UA promotes former Chaparral coach Charlie Ragle
The Arizona Wildcats have promoted assistant director of football operations Charlie Ragle to the role of tight ends coach.
Ragle will replace Spencer Leftwich, who left the team and is expected to take a job on UTEP's coaching staff. Billy Kirelawich, who was an operations coordinator in 2012, will move into the role of assistant director of operations.
"From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful and appreciative to Rich Rodriguez for giving me the opportunity to work with him and our staff at Arizona," Leftwich said in a press release. "I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Tucson and the success we had this year. This is an opportunity, to get my whole family together, that I just couldn't pass up."
Ragle joined Rich Rodriguez's staff before last season

Partly working with sound sampled from his field trips to the Amazon forest (Michael Palace is a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Complex System Research Center), Horchata's music ranges from the most organic of atmospheric music to the deepest of basses and beats. The result, a bodily experience that shakes the end and tortures the subwoofer, has been demonstrated live on many occasions, which has helped Horchata gain the status of a band to watch.
Ad Noiseam is proud to release the "Basidia" album, which showcases all the facets of Horchata's talent, and hopefully, displays the high amount of thought put into these recordings. A great care is given here to the feeling and the sound design, making of Horchata an act of his own, where structure, atmosphere, beats and tones are carefully arranged into a mesmerizing and beautiful experience.
Currently, Horchata's setup inlcudes a 39 module Synthesizers.com setup, which he hopes to complete this coming year (44 modules). A 8 module Synthesizers.com rack is filled for live performances . Horchata will support the Larvae and Needle Sharing tour in North America in April 2004.

Recent data released by Performics may shed light on some of the trends we're seeing in online shopping this holiday season. Their study was conducted in mid-November and asked questions about the previous 30 and upcoming 60 days.
When asked where they've been finding the best deals recently, 45% of participants chose online.
Where are they having luck finding good deals online? Search came in second at 40%, just after retail websites at 43%. Of course, shoppers may have arrived at retail websites via search. So, theoretically, that search number could actually be much higher.
What happens when shoppers find the deals? What makes them ultimately place an order? Free shipping offers and discounts on the homepage were most likely to drive people to buy.
Young adults are far more optimistic about the future. Older adults were more likely to believe their current economic status wouldn't improve in the near future. Young adults were more likely to spend more this holiday season than in last year's.
You may want to keep that last nugget of data in mind for 2010. Going forward, younger adults are more likely to spur the kind of growth needed for the global economic recovery.
The Original Search Marketing Event is Back!

A strong performance of Amsterdam hub Schiphol has seen international passenger numbers at Edinburgh Airport grow in September.
880,124 passengers travelled through Edinburgh Airport in September, a drop of 2.2% on the previous year.
Although international traffic grew year on year, domestic traffic continues to suffer from uncertainty in the domestic market.
Edinburgh Airport Chief Executive, Gordon Dewar, said: "International traffic continues to grow from Edinburgh, perhaps unsurprisingly as we have the most international routes in Scotland.
"KLM is performing very strongly which may indicate that an increasing number of travellers are choosing hubs other than Heathrow when travelling internationally.
"Domestic passenger numbers continue to be down versus 2011, but we're confident the forthcoming slot auction will give this market the stimulus it requires."
Edinburgh Airport's traffic in September was as follows:

BlueCare Dental PPO has one of the largest national networks of general and specialty dentists in both Illinois and nationally, which offers members flexibility in choosing a provider. There are two types of plans offered:
In a PPO plan, costs are typically reduced when you receive covered care from network providers. Dentists in the DPPO network have agreed to pre-determined fees for their services. These fees (Schedule of Maximum Allowances), on average, are lower than usual and customary fees. In most cases, BlueCare DPPO provides savings when a network dentist is selected.
You pay less out-of-pocket and contracting providers have agreed not to balance bill. Also, dental specialists can be chosen from the network without a referral for covered services.
One of the many advantages of the BlueCare Dental Preferred Choice plan is its provider network, where you have access to a national network of contracting dentists, and a local network that is one of the largest in Illinois. Members can visit any general or specialty dentist from the network at any time without a referral for covered services.
Dentists undergo credentialing before being accepted into the DPPO network and are re-evaluated periodically.
A complete list of contracting general and specialty dentists can be found online by visiting the Dental Provider Finder® . You can search for a network dentist near your home or office, and conveniently download a map and driving directions. You can also contact customer service at 800-367-6401 for assistance when selecting a dentist.
When you visit a BlueCare DPPO contracting dentist, you receive all the advantages your plan offers including the highest available level of benefits. It's best to confirm the dentist is part of the BlueCare DPPO network when you make your appointment. Remember to present your ID card at your initial visit so the dentist can verify benefits.
If your current dentist is not contracted as a BlueCare DPPO network provider, you can continue to receive care from that dentist, but you may not receive all of the advantages available to you when you use a contracting provider. You also can nominate a dentist to participate in the BlueCare DPPO network by completing the Provider Nomination Form.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is pleased to offer BlueCare Dental Connection™, a proactive approach that protects more than just teeth. BlueCare Dental Connection provides resources to help encourage you to manage their oral health, which may help improve your overall health.
Research shows a potential link between periodontal disease and other health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes control and premature birth.

Goal-wise, it wasn't a great season for Thunder Bay's NHL contingent.
But, in a lockout-shortened season, the brothers Staal and Pyatt, Patrick Sharp and Robert Bortuzzo still managed to collect 52 goals among them, earning $2,600 to help send up to 22 underprivileged children to camp through Tim Hortons Camp Day.
Freedom 55 director Tom Mihaljevic, whose company last year pledged to donate $50 for each goal the local NHLers scored in 2012-13, said the Goals for Kids partnership with Tim Hortons was a natural pairing.
"We will continue to do this and we want to encourage other businesses as well to help out and step up to the plate and provide some kind of funding for the children of not only Thunder Bay, but Northwestern Ontario," Mihaljevic said Wednesday.
Injured Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal led the local charge with 18 goals this season, followed by younger brother Jordan with 10.
Tampa Bay's Tom Pyatt scored eight times, while Chicago's Patrick Sharp, who leads all playoff scorers with eight goals, netted six in just 28 games, missing significant time because of injury.
Tom Pyatt's older brother, Taylor, had six goals in his debut season with the New York Rangers, while teammate Marc Staal collected just two before being viciously hit in the face with a puck, all but ending his season.
Pittsburgh defenceman Robert Bortuzzo, who scored his first NHL goal against future hall-of-famer Martin Brodeur – with an assist from none other than Sidney Crosby – managed another in limited action to round out the total.
Mihaljevic said he's hoping no lockout will mean more money for the cause in 2014.
"That was an unfortunate situation, but it did occur, so we're hoping and anticipating a larger cheque, based on an 82-game schedule throughout the NHL."
Tim Hortons Camp Day activities continue until midnight Wednesday at franchise locations throughout Thunder Bay.
Waterloo Street restaurant owner Brent Prepp said it's a great cause and easy to support.
"Every purchase of a coffee throughout North America, all the proceeds go to the Tim Hortons Children's Foundation, which is six camps across North America, five in Canada and one in the United State," he said.
"We send a bunch of kids to camp from across Canada and locally from Thunder Bay."
Prepp added the foundation is building a new leadership camp in Manitoba, which children from both the city and region will be able to use when it opens.
While Wednesday's one-day blitz provides a huge chunk of the annual donations to the foundation, Prepp added the public can give all year long, either at individual stores or online.

Baxter is currently on preorder, with shipments expected to begin next month. Rethink Robotics
One of today's press releases that stood out from the pack:
What's happening: Rethink Robotics, based in Boston, today unveiled Baxter—what the company calls the world's first humanoid robot capable of applying common sense in the manufacturing workplace.
Why it's of interest: The announcement describes a product that sounds like a bit more than just a manufacturing machine, but on several occasions borders on a form of artificial intelligence. In fact, the machine was based on the vision of Rodney Brooks, cofounder of iRobot and former director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.
Click here to view a slideshow of Baxter on our sister publication, Boston Business Journal.
An excerpt of the release:
"Roboticists have been successful in designing robots capable of super-human speed and precision. What's proven more difficult is inventing robots that can act as we do – in other words, that are able to inherently understand and adapt to their environments," said Rodney Brooks, founder and CTO of Rethink Robotics. "We believed that if we could cross that chasm with the manufacturing environment specifically in mind, we could offer new hope to the millions of American manufacturers who are looking for innovative ways to compete in our global economy."
Baxter is a complete system with application software that will be enhanced through regular software updates. Rethink will also make a software development kit (SDK) available in early 2013, opening up Baxter-centered innovation to programmers, robot enthusiasts, inventors and anyone else with a passion for cutting edge technology.

VERMILLION, S.D. (KWSN) —South Dakota senior linebacker Tyler Starr finished ninth in the Buck Buchanan Award voting announced Monday by The Sports Network.
Starr was one of 20 finalists for the award, which honors the top defensive player in FCS. Senior Brad Daly became the second Montana State defensive end to win the award in as many seasons. Daly received 64 of 147 first-place votes from a national panel of sports information directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries.
Starr is the 2013 Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He was a finalist for the Buchanan Award for the second year in a row. In this year's balloting, Starr received four first-place votes, five second-place votes, eight third-place votes, and six fourth- and fifth-place votes.
Starr led the MVFC in sacks (9.0), tackles for loss (15.0) and forced fumbles (4). He finished second on the team in tackles with 71. He also had an interception and was credited with four pass breakups.

During his first year in office, Gov. Rick Snyder avoided the national media like the plague. But now? In the past year, he's been everywhere, talking with everybody about Michigan's story. And that has put the speculation machine into motion.Already, some national pundits believe he'd make a good candidate for president. So, how does President Snyder sound?"That's one of those speculative hypotheticals that's way out there," said Snyder with a laugh. "I'm just happy being governor of Michigan."So, if that's such a wild idea, how about saying you won't run for president."I don't see value in that," said Snyder.Why not say no and take the issue off the table? "Again, I view that as just generating more distraction from staying on message."If there is any doubt about running for that post, talk to Mrs. Snyder, who is more blunt. "We don't discuss that," said Michigan's First Lady Sue Snyder. Because (running for president) is off the table? "Yes, it is. Clearly from my perspective."So, apparently, you can put away those 'Snyder for President' signs. That is of course, unless things change.

He issued General Order 3, which is said to have contributed to the freeing of 200,000 slaves, two and half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation decree of January 1, 1863. Each year since June 1865, former Texas slaves and their descendants have celebrated freedom. Today, "Juneteenth" is a commemorative holiday in 31 states and the District of Columbia.

She is also the author or editor of six books that include Freedom: A Documentary History of Emancipation, 1861-1867, Slaves No More: Three Essays on Emancipation and the Civil War and Freedom's Soldiers: The Black Military Experience in the Civil War (1998). Among the honors that she has received are the J. Franklin Jameson Award of the American Historical Association and the Lincoln Prize for excellence in Civil War Studies.
Dr. Rowland will discuss the topic, "African American Soldiers in the U.S. Civil War." Her talk with cover the origins of the decision to recruit black soldiers. She will also focus on black soldiers' experiences in the Union army, the significance of their service to themselves, to other African Americans, and to the nation as a whole. Dr. Rowland will use slides with her lecture.
The Sanctuary Choir has performed throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. The very talented group is known for its songs of inspiration and encouragement. Dr. Anthony Leach serves as the minister of music and organist. He has gained national recognition as an Associate Professor of Music at Pennsylvania State University. For over 25 years, Dr. Leach has performed sacred and secular music from the African American tradition. He is past national chair of the American Choral Directors Association Repertoire and Standard Committee on Multicultural & Ethnic Perspectives.
Please join us on June 8th at 6:30pm in the Great Hall at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.
The library is located at 901 G Street, NW Washington, DC 20001.

The pool area during the day was overly noisy with activities...Had to go up one level to get away from it. Stupid games again and lots and lots of screaming and noise.
Where have all the lounge chairs gone? On the promenade deck, not one to be found...only cheap plastic chairs and very few of them to sit.
Other than St Martin and St Thomas, Tortola (God-forsaken place) and also arriving in San Juan at 3 PM...didn,t give any time for anything...stores close by 6 pm....not enough time even for beach activities!
I am easily please as a rule...but food was a mish-mash and the expected relaxation of the promenade deck was a downer. I guess it is bye bye NCL for me after 3 cruises with them.
