Shortly after Rich Peverley's game-winning shootout goal gave the Thrashers a 2-1 win against the Florida Panthers…coach John Anderson and the rest of the coaching staff departed to the locker room with big, broad smiles on their faces. Their team had just stolen two points on away ice in a game they very easily could have wound up with none…and the team of coaches looked like they just wanted to get out of Sunrise, Florida quickly, before someone could find a reason to take the points back.
For much of the game, the Panthers did a very good job of keeping Atlanta's high-powered offense off balanced by playing a chippy, grinding kind of a game. They held the Thrashers scoreless for the first 58:56…which is even that much more impressive considering the amount of time Florida played shorthanded in the second period.
A very scary moment for Thrashers fans came at the 2:39 mark in the second period when Toby Enstrom was driven into the glass by Panther forward Michael Frolik. The boarding call brought with it a five-minute all-you-score power play for the Thrashers and an early exit for Frolik. Atlanta was not able to capitalize however…nor were they able to score on the power play that came just six seconds after the Panthers killed off the major. Same with the eight seconds worth of a 5 on 3 when Bryan McCabe elbowed Ilya Kovalchuk up around his throat. Ditto the subsequent 5 on 4 for 1:52.
For the night, the Thrashers failed to score on four power play chances and are 0 for 7 in their last three games while on the man advantage. Since the shootout loss to Boston on November 19, the Thrashers have been successful only three times on their last 30 power play opportunities, (10.0%).
Three or four times during regulation, Atlanta went postal…clanking the puck off the iron. But with just 64 seconds left in the game and the Thrashers down 1-0, Kaptain Kovalchuk was able to finally find the net, beating Tomas Vokoun with a blast from the right side after a great pass from Maxim Afinogenov.
I'm not sure…but after Kovy's score, I think I saw Vokoun looking around to see where Keith Ballard was.
After surviving the five-minute overtime period in which the Panthers took all five shots on goal…the Thrashers found themselves in a shootout in Sunrise with a chance to steal away not one…but two points on this night. After Stephen Weiss was stopped by Johan Hedberg to open the individual skills exhibition, Kovalchuk blasted one past Vokoun again.
And that's when the post started becoming the Thrashers friend.
In the second round, Nathan Horton heard more than a Who…he heard the puck ring off the left post. Slava Kozlov was then unsuccessful on Atlanta's second attempt and the Steven Reinprecht kept Florida's hopes alive with a goal to open the third round. Afinogenov's attempt then was stopped by Vokoun… leaving the shootout at 1-1 after three rounds.
Rostislav Olesz was up next for Florida and for the second time in four chances, a Panthers player struck iron on his shot…this one ricocheting off the crossbar.
Peverley then dispensed of the Panthers by burying his shot over Vokoun's right shoulder.
Goalkeeping was a big reason for tonight's win. Moose started in goal and stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced. One huge save came in overtime when he was able to deny Weiss while on his backside after a rebound deflected off to his right. Hedberg improved his overall record to 7-2-0 with a 2.24 GAA and very impressive .932 SV%.
"Without our goalkeeping we wouldn't be where we are today", coach Anderson told Matt McConnell during the post-game show. "It's certainly different from last year".
Atlanta has now moved its record to 15-8-3 for 33 points. To give you an indication of how far this team has come since last year…last year's Thrashers squad was not able to notch their 33rd point until the second half of the season…coming after game number 42 by way of a 4-0 win in New Jersey on January 8 last winter.
Stealing these two points was a fantastic way to get the cross-continental road trip off to a fine start. The Thrashers will now travel north of the border for a Monday night matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs who find themselves at 8-13-7 following the 7-2 beating suffered in Boston Saturday. Later in the week they'll play in Calgary and Vancouver.
Hopefully, Anderson and his coaching staff will be smiling just as much then as they were on this winning night.

Hedberg has done a masterful job in his "back-up" role. He made at least three (3) stellar saves, to keep Atlanta in this game. It very well was nearly a 1-0 shutout. So, thanks to Peverley's shootout winner, Atlanta completes a three-point swing. Florida was 64 ticks from owning a 4-point swing on us, landing both points while denying 2-points to Atlanta. Instead, Atlanta took the 2-points and denied Florida a point, for a 3-1 split.
Carolina won over Vancouver, 5-3. Tampa rolled the Isles, 4-0. And the Capitals smoked the Flyers, in Peter Laviolette's coaching debut for Philadelphia. That's not how he wanted to get things turned-around.
Okay, tear off points #63 and #62, for there are only 61 more points to go until Atlanta clinches a playoff berth.

Time to shake up the power play. Move Kovy down low. Use Kubina and Bogosian up top. Throw Kane on the second pp unit in place of White. It's grown stagnant and it was never more evident than on the five minute major. Too much passing and not enough finishing. And they almost gave up a shorty to begin that man advantage. Very fortunate to come away with two points tonight.
December 6th, 2009
12:26 am
The Thrashers have now taken 19 of the possible 24-points on the road this season. That's not a misprint. The road record of the Atlanta Thrashers is 9-2-1. The Thrashers are now 6-2-2 in their last ten games.
December 6th, 2009
1:22 am
You called it Bill, tough to watch until the final couple of minutes, we SHOULD have had at least three goals before, and they could have pocketed two… Great Game from Hedberg, that Weiss save was AWSOME !
So we stay with everyone, gain on Fl, NYI, Ottawa as well as Buffalo,
and how about Philadelphia, blitzed by Washington, without #8, 8-2,
they are now 6 behind us, GOOD !
Toronto may not be easy, wonder if Ex will be in the lineup ? He has not played very much this season…
Calagry looks to be our most difficult game, will have to be on our toes for that one for sure, but 2 BIG Pts !
December 6th, 2009

Let's keep it up!!! What a difference 2 years makes….
December 6th, 2009
8:14 am
All hail the Moose! Like W, he kept our goal safe (well, except for that one time). He absolutely stood on his head last night.
I heard what D Elliot said last night, about Boulton didn't fight Frolik, because it would have been against the "Hockey Code". I thought the Code meant when some doufus from the other team drives your defenseman headfirst into the board, you drop the gloves no matter who that guy is. Glad he got the 5 minutes, but I wanted his a$$ whooped, too.
With all the firepower we have, how can we play for what, 10 minutes consecutively, on the PP without a single goal?!? We spend most of the time passing around the perimeter, looking for that perfect shot. Can someone please crash the net? Mix things up?
Having just gone through all the criticisms, we are still finding ways to win, and that's the bottom line. Although winning like this is a lot scarier than I'd like.

A Moose sighting in Florida. Locals amazed, story at eleven.
December 6th, 2009
9:57 am
Little is still missing the net. He either changed the lie on his stick, the curve at the tip, or he's shooting from too far back. He always missing the net to the left, up high. Bryan still has a quick release, he's just not hitting the target.
Did anyone see Carcillo sucker punch Bradley in last night's Caps-Philly game? Carcillo is a bum! He should be suspended for weeks. Typical Flyer, can dish out a hit but can't take one. Emery could not stop a beach ball last night.
Boston fans really gave it to Phil Kessell last night, real bad. Not sure that all realize that Kessell never asked to be traded, he asked to be compensated, just like Marc Savard. Boston got the better of that deal by far; Bruins fans should stow it.
December 6th, 2009
9:59 am
Once again, he's Peverywhere. Is there a situation this guy can't excel? Well, maybe….I'm no statistician, but it seems like the last few games, Pevs has taken more than his fair share of penalties. I don't like to see him making a habit of that. To be fair, a number of those penalties have been questionable calls. Is his style of play responsible for this? Are the officials just paying closer attention to him now that he is a leading scorer? Any other thoughts on this?
December 6th, 2009
10:10 am
Will someone please tell TOBT that he is allowed to put the biscut towards the basket. this guy just never shoots. He is like the point guard that the other team never has to guard because they know he is no lthreat. Please already TOBY shhot the PUCK.
December 6th, 2009
10:12 am
Paminski – Agreed. The last few penalty calls on Pevs have been marginal at best. The hooking call last night was atrocious. Someone needs to tell the ref that a player has to actually tug at a player's waist or arm with his stick to hook him. The first period last night was one of the few times I actually questioned the legitimacy of a hockey game. It seriously looked like the refs were tilting the ice in the Panthers favor. Weiss was getting away with everything and then the Thrashers would get called for nothing at all.
December 6th, 2009
10:45 am
The best thing about Peverly is the position he plays-center. Pevs is an all-around center too, nothing lacking about his game.
There is such a real shortage of good centers in the NHL right now.
Aside from goaltender, center is the toughest position to play in the game.
Penalties-the refs have sooo much leeway in calling penalties these days. I know they want to open the game up and free the skill players, but i have to say half the penalties I see are marginal. You would think the NHL was recruiting from the SEC ref pool.
December 6th, 2009
11:05 am
It's not that they called penalties on Atlanta that much, it's that Florida played pretty dirty and they got away with tons of hookings and trippings in their zone, not to mention questionable no-call on Hedberg's tripping that nearly cost us a shorty. I agree that PP is stagnant. It's way too static. They need to start moving both the puck and the bodies. Especially on smaller rinks like the one in Miami.
December 6th, 2009
11:38 am
That stick save by Moose near the eand has got to be the save of the year! Amazing…and maybe a bit o' luck.
This team will not give up, and that's a great trait. There is still much upside to this team. I can see them winning 6 or 7 in a row when they finally get all the parts in gear.
December 6th, 2009
11:44 am
Does anybody know why Kovy was poking his stick in faces at the Florida bench? That was a funny close-up.
December 6th, 2009
2:00 pm
the announcers said that assclown had played in two games prior to last night and had collected 29 pims. sounds like he was just playing his role. we're fortunate that kovy didn't get suckered into it.
December 6th, 2009
2:06 pm
Ok Kovy, what else do you need to see to determine if this is the kinda team you want to stay wtih for the next 5-7 years?
Are we going to wait until March, get a low 1st round pick, a role player and prospect for one of the best players in the league or risk losing him for nothing in July?
The clock is ticking-sign him or trade him. This courtship dance is one of the silliest things I have ever seen.
December 6th, 2009
2:30 pm
Good way to steal the two points but there is a new problem/issue coming up for next season. What does the team do with Moose? His contract is up and the general thought was that he should become a goalie coach here. Does the team sign him or do they keep Kari as a back up or do they have a goalie who can handle the load moose is carrying?
December 6th, 2009
2:46 pm
I wonder whatever happend to Kari…ah, who cares. Go Thrashers
December 6th, 2009
3:16 pm
Did anyone catch the WAS @ PHI highlights on SportsCenter? Washington had a NINE minute power play (and scored 3 times)!
December 6th, 2009
3:31 pm
The spineless wiesel Carcillo got a 4 game suspension. Double the suspension ceause he's a Flyer.
The league should have made a real example out of him.
December 6th, 2009
5:52 pm
Rusty, Kari had his second surgery recently and woke up feeling like a new man. He had a problem corrected that had been bothering him since child hood. He is on his way back soon,just a matter of when he rejoins the team. My guess after new years….
Question still remains, do you feel that Moose has gas left in the tank for another year or is he done? A another two year deal, should it be done???
December 6th, 2009
5:59 pm
Keep Moose, trade Kari for future picks, sign Sharpe from Chicago. Sign Kovalchuk.
December 6th, 2009
7:33 pm
Let Moose go after this year, let my boy battle Opie for the number 1 spot. He has to prove his arch nemisis Stendec wrong.

One thing Pavelec must learn from Hedberg is how to handle the puck.

December 7th, 2009
9:11 am
I'll retract what I said about Hedberg not being a good puck handler, Saturday night was quite a display (though almost a disaster on the one PP). He moved the puck intelligently and was very aggressive. Agree that Pavelec needs to steal a page from the Moose book.
Would be real nice, almost imperative to get the 2 pts tonight. If they can win tonight and then get at least one point out of the CGY/VAN games that would be a decent road trip. Will be interesting to see if XLB is in the lineup – here's hoping he is.
December 7th, 2009
9:49 am
Hip…I hope he is not in the line up, if he is, he will probably have his best game of the year, like Vick did.
December 7th, 2009
10:07 am
The Thrashers better be ready for Toronto tonight. The Leafs played poorly Saturday. Ron Wilson will have them charged up tonight to make amends, especially Kessel, who took alotta garbage from the Bruin faithful. Toronto has been playing better of late.
I'd count Ex being in the lineup tonight. Wilson likes motivated players. Ex will be motivated to do well against the team that traded him. I think…..
December 7th, 2009
11:14 am
I hope Ex will not injure anybody from Thrashers. Bolts should be ready to figth.
December 7th, 2009
11:16 am
wow. that would be hella-weird. can y'all imagine seeing Ex go at it with Boults or Thorburn?
December 7th, 2009
11:26 am
ex wont fight either of them, he might try to pick a fight with one of the blew crew, if they were to go.
Maple Syrups have the worst PK units. Maybe we can get right tonight with a couple goals.
December 7th, 2009
11:47 am
"One thing Pavelec must learn from Hedberg is how to handle the puck."
Not from Moose. Don't get me wrong. I love Moose, but he overhandles the puck. He's iced the puck more than once this year and he turns it over at least once a game leaving the defensmen vulnerable to a scoring chance. Pavs needs to ask Brodeur the next time the Thrashers play the Devils.
December 7th, 2009
12:02 pm
the thing opie needs to learn from the moose is how to succeed in the shootout.
December 7th, 2009
12:03 pm
Ex would have to take the visor off to fight Thorny or Bolts. Besides, that's Colton Orr's job.
December 7th, 2009
12:44 pm
Nate, if your point is that nobody's perfect, I don't disagree. That includes Mr. Brodeur. May I remind you how Kane scored on him in New Jersey. He tipped in a pass from Peverly who intercepted Brodeur's attempted clearance along the board. I don't think we want our golies to replicate that play too much.
December 7th, 2009
12:57 pm

So would you say Brodeur overhandles as well? I'll be honest. I don't watch as many Devils games as I do Thrashers games because it's about as much fun as watching paint dry. But the games I've watched Brodeur handles the puck much better than Hedberg. And I think you'll agree that the general consensus around the league is that Brodeur is the best puck handler around. That doesn't make it so necessarily, but I think it's true. Who would you argue is the best goalie puck handler in the league for Pavelec to model himself after?
December 7th, 2009
1:05 pm
I'd like for Pavelec to play like Dryden, Tretyak, Savchuk, Hasek, and Roy put together.
December 7th, 2009
1:26 pm
"Kari had his second surgery recently and woke up feeling like a new man. He had a problem corrected that had been bothering him since child hood. He is on his way back soon,just a matter of when he rejoins the team."
Hopefully "like a new man" means someone else's core muscles and "a problem since childhood" probably refers to his poor physical conditioning.
Since our GM is on a roll maybe he can unload Kari and get something of value in return. As soon as he is deemed healthy…UNLOAD!

Hi Bill. Please bear with me. This is very important to me. Thanks.
I humbly request that censors permit this post despite its length. Thank you.
This is difficult to type. I am speaking as a fan who has been a Falcon supporter since the birth of the team in the 1960s. All that ended over the weekend. I suffered in silence as Keith Brooking gloated during a Cowboy victory in Texas. It hurt but at least the Falcons competed. That was not the case Sunday at the Georgia Dome. Excuses be damned. There are no excuses for that giveup job. Some folks will say it is just a game. In this instance I disagree. This was a citywide disgrace. Falcon defenders should have been out of their minds when Mike Sick took the field. What was the response? Falcons stepped aside as he walked uncontested into end zone. Unacceptable. Falcon secondary looked the other way on his short touchdown pass. Unacceptable. Over the decades I have only despised and wished doom on several Falcons. Three quarterbacks come to mind. One of which was in the Georgia Dome recently. I can honestly say I truly hate every player/coach on present Falcon roster with the exception of Tony Gonzalez who works his butt off every play. Sorry you wound up with these quitters Tony. Just take the money and grit mouth guard tightly. A spot awaits you in Hall of Fame. I see injury prone Matt Ryan as a one season wonder with no instestional fortitude (guts). Allowing a toe bruise to keep him on sidelines. Matthew Stafford competes for his team with much more serious afflictions. Maybe the overrated Falcon QB and Thrasher waste Kari Lehtonen should tank their present seasons as a team. Both appear worthless. All I hear from apologists is wait till next year wait till next year. Listen people. I am over half a century old with a weak heart. That was fine when I was in my 20s but not now. Time is of essence for me and others like myself who have suffered with these losers since day one. Defeats are part of sports. Quitting is not. The Falcons quit against Philadelphia. That was painfully obvious to everyone with eyes to see. In the one game for which I would not sugar coat or forgive another defeat. Falcon wins used to bring me great joy. No longer. The Falcons quit on me. I have quit on them. Many will scoff and say good riddance. No problem. As a sportswriter for many decades I have an extremely thick skin. Many will call me a fair weather fan. That is not true. The decision I made was difficult due to my former adoration of team. I now wish nothing but doom and failure on this uncaring franchise. Southern teams like the Saints and Dolphins now have my support. They are now my official state teams. The Falcons are dead to me. Just as they are officially dead to the rest of NFL. Continued success Tony Gonzalez. God bless you. ++STENDEC++ BTW – Thrashers keeping KL under contract is nothing to what Falcons staged Sunday
December 7th, 2009
2:12 pm
Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
Ex won't fight, but I'd like to see him play tonight. Buds have been playing better lately and we need all the help we can get, this is a big two pts for the boys to get tonight.
December 7th, 2009
2:15 pm
Oh no-I am agreeing with Stendec again. Falcons did quit yesterday, totally.
What was worse was seeing all those Falcons' fans holding Vick jerseys with pride. Looks like some Atlantans have a twisted definition of what a hero should be. You should make the most of the opportunity you have and Vick through his away. Those little kids with the Vick jerseys are the gangsters of tomorrow. That's alot worse than quitting in a football game, whether you are getting paid or not.
Besides, I gave up on pro football long ago, even my Bills who I never missed for years. All my time goes to college football.

Midfield – Maybe we can put together an instructional video of those guys for Pavs to watch (and maybe Moose can sit in also). Throw in some sketch comedy (a la Shenanigans instructional video) and he just might watch.

3:51 pm
Ben over at the Blueland blog is saying that Exelby will dress tonight. That could make for some interesting things.
I hope an amped up Thrasher's team takes the ice tonight. This is a game we ought to win and hopefully we will win BIG.

WBF – with the new revenue sharing ruling being declined in the NFL, the league won't be too far behind you in giving up on Buffalo as well. In the words of Larry King, "Toronto – hello!"
December 7th, 2009
4:45 pm
NYC-the Bills are heading to Los Angeles. I think Toronto was in the mix originally, but the league wants a team in the 2nd largest market, which currently does not have a team. Once Ralph wilson is gone, the Bills are history. All of Buffalo knows this, about half have accepted it!
Giving up on revenue sharing will doom the small market teams. The NFL is strong in the smaller markets with very little competition with other fall sports. The NFL believes that they can get away with this, since MLB already does!
December 7th, 2009

(NFL is strong in smaller markets)
I think Jacksonville begs to differ with you.

It's hilarious that Toronto's fans see us, the Atlanta Thrashers, are a thug team, full of goons who can't play hockey. But, I suppose, we do tend to go into Toronto with that "chip on our shoulders." Waddell wants to prove his team is good. John Anderson wants to show all the people he used to play in front of … that he's a good coach.
And when the Thrashers win, the patrons at the Air Canada Center will declare, "See, this is why the league shouldn't have expanded so much. Even these southern markets can field a competitive team." Those who don't feel that way, feel this way, "How BAD are we … that we just lost to Atlanta? Fire the GM!!" Okayyyy. Not every Leaf fans feels this way. Sheesh.
It's 0-0, after one period. Let's go Thrashers! It was a tremendous 1:43 seconds of 5-on-3 Penalty Kill.
December 7th, 2009

Can we say meltdown. Yuck. Bad passing, bad effort, bad bad bad… 5-0

Highly un-good

I can hear stendec's rant already. In 10 years of watching the Thrash, that may have been the worst 2nd period ever. Just end it now and move on to the Calgary game.
December 7th, 2009
10:48 pm
Ya know, Michael B. Shapiro, I would have thought that Pavel Kubina and Nik Antropov would have had this date circled on the calendars. Kubina was a -3 and Antropov a -2. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but hasn't Moose traditionally played well in Toronto? Or against the Leafs, in general? At least he performed triage pretty well in the third period. I think this is the 4th time Hedberg has relieved Pavelec this season. And to my recollection, Moose has only surrendered one (1) goal when he does relieve Pavelec.
When teams come into Toronto and win, the media says things like, "It's HOMECOMING for too many players around the league. That's why we lose." I do wonder what they say after wins? Perhaps, they should cite that it's HOMECOMING for their own Leaf players, who play before their Ontario-based families ALL THE FREKKIN' TIME. Forty-one (41) times a year, to be precise. Not counting preseason or those odd, occasional playoff games.
I didn't Brian Burke's face all night. Was he there???
December 7th, 2009
10:50 pm
Another verb omission. I didn't SEE Brian Burke's face all night. Was he tipping beers with Waddell, up in the Gondola?
December 7th, 2009
10:54 pm
Maybe part of the deal for Kubina was giving up the game plan to the Leafs.Sure looked that way tonight.

PARIS (AP) -- "Black is back for summer," designer Barbara Bui declared following her saleable and typically feminine collection for spring-summer 2013.
The French-Vietnamese designer opened her Paris Fashion Week show true to her word with a series of sexy-looking black nappa ensembles.
Bui, with an eye on her youthful clientele, ticked the on-trend box with gentle masculine tailored-jackets that led the eye down provocatively to skintight pants or many inches of leg.
Capturing the spirit of spring's first bloom, Bui then unleashed a diaphanous series of sheer organza blouses.
Fluttering layers and contrasting pockets endowed the cornflower blue and nude looks with an interesting textural play.
Unfortunately, the message of harmony got lost by the end the show, diluted by a series of geometric American Indian patterns with conflicting silhouettes.

Kerwynn Williams scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in overtime. On Louisiana Tech's ensuing possession, the Aggies stopped the Bulldogs on four plays to seal the win.
The Aggies now move to 9-2 on the season. They have clinched a share of the WAC title, and can win it outright next Saturday with a victory over Idaho.

The St. Thomas University women's basketball team, which went through three coaches in a span of a couple of months last summer, wasn't supposed to do much this season.
But the Bobcats (16-10, 13-2), under the third of those coaches, Albrey Grimsley, has clinched the Sun Conference regular-season title and is preparing for next week's postseason conference tournament.
The coaching instability started when Robin Harmony left after last season to become the head coach at Division I Lamar University.
She was replaced by Desma Thomas, who resigned — without ever coaching a game at St. Thomas — to take a job as an assistant at South Florida.
Finally, Grimsley, who had never been a head coach before, took over the team fairly late — she was hired July 29. But after a rough start in nonconference games, Grimsley and the Bobcats turned it around.
And, despite the coaching turmoil, here's what connects the past three Bobcats coaches — they are all former Miami Hurricanes players.
Meanwhile, the Bobcats' men's basketball team (22-5, 15-2) also clinched first place in the conference and is ranked 11th nationally in NAIA Division II.
Led by second-year coach Patrick Gayle, the Bobcats have four wins in the past month over teams ranked in the top 11 nationally.
Among Gayle's best players is 5-6 senior guard Kevin Hincapie, who recently scored a career-high 29 points, leads the team in assists and is averaging 2.9 steals. The team's leading scorer is 6-1 senior guard Floyd Battle (15.2).
But Gayle said the glue to the team is 6-4 junior forward Lorel Beckford, who showed his toughness recently by coming back after having been elbowed in the face in two consecutive games.
"On the second one, his tooth was hanging out — it looked like he had been in a fight real bad," said Gayle, who starts four seniors and a junior.
As a freshman two years ago, ex-UM point guard Shane Larkin, who went on to become an NBA first-round pick, averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals. He shot .360 from the floor, .323 from three-point range and .857 from the foul line.
As a freshman this season, UM point guard Manu Lecomte is averaging 7.8 points, 2.4 assists and 0.6 steals. He is shooting .413 from the floor, .396 from three-point range and .778 from the foul line.
Those are encouraging numbers for Lecomte. But, Larkin made a huge leap his next year, and it remains to be seen if Lecomte can keep pace. As a sophomore, Larkin averaged 14.5 points, 4.6 assists and 2.0 steals, shooting .479 from the floor, .406 on three-pointers and .777 from the foul line.
Guard Deric Hill on Wednesday broke the school's 20-year-old single-season record for assists with 179 and the 27-year-old single-season mark for steals with 64.
Sophomore Emma Onila was named the Sunshine State Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week for the second week in a row.
Ranking second in Conference USA in scoring, FIU's softball team won eight of its first 10 games for the second-best start in program history.

Wonderful vacation!!!!
This home has absolutely everything one could want in a vacation home! My husband and I took our 3 children and their families for a ski week and everything was perfect. In the morning we walked 4 min to the ski run (key for our little grandchildren), at the end of the day we walked 5 minutes to wonderful restaurants on Main Street. The kids loved the boot & glove driers (their mittens were really wet after snowball fights & sledding up the street), the movie theater, hockey table & climbing wall. And the adults really enjoyed the wonderful kitchen and great room. All the concierge services we used were fantastic (esp. the massages & food prep) and my daughters & I even enjoyed a snowshoe hike from the house. GREAT experience….I've recommended this vacation home to all my friends!

Vitamin B12Vitamin B12 is is a water-soluble vitamin needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 acts with folic acid and vitamin B6 to control homocysteine levels. An excess of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and potentially other diseases such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.
Where is it found?Vitamin B12 is found in all foods of animal origin, including dairy, eggs, meat, poultry, and fish. According to one report, small, inconsistent amounts occur in seaweed (including nori and chlorella) and tempeh.1 Many researchers and healthcare professionals believe that people cannot rely on vegetarian sources to provide predictably sufficient quantities of vitamin B12. However, another study found substantial amounts of vitamin B12 in nori (at least 55 mcg per 100 grams of dry weight).

'Tis the week of Christmas and all through the mall, some shoppers were stirring, but we heard another call. The Wednesday's Child team, with three siblings in tow, sought out the one in red from head to toe! And then we heard someone say "Yes, Suhaley, Melody and Clyde – there's Santa in his chair at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza". And with the help of a not-so-small elf, these three siblings got some pictures with and presents from the jolly one himself!
Suhaley (2003) is the big sister and tends to be a little more on the reserved side in comparison to the younger ones, perhaps because she's keeping a watchful eye on them when they are all together.
Suhaley is making satisfactory academic progress in school and gets along well with other children. She likes to play video games, read stories and make jewelry. Suhaley loves to eat out at restaurants such as "Chili's" and currently aspires to become an actress when she grows up.
Melody (2007) is a sweetheart of a girl who loves playing with her siblings and has an affinity to dolls and cartoons. Melody has a healthy appetite but, unlike her sister, prefers to eat at home. Her favorite food is homemade chicken soup with rice. Melody has some minor speech and language delays but it doesn't stop her from expressing herself.
Clyde (2006) is a very active and animated little boy who loves playing with cars, blocks and airplanes. He works really hard in school and is doing well in spite of some autistic features. Clyde is having much success with supportive services in place.
These siblings currently live in two separate homes, so our Christmas list includes a hope that next year (and for many years to come) these three siblings will be able to grow-up sharing one tree, one home and one permanent family.

DEBORAH WARNER 1947 - 2012 : An Inspiring Woman and Artist
Hello friends,
Beth here. As a trained textile designer with a BFA from Moore College of Art & Design, I was very lucky to have been taught by Deborah Warner. She passed away last night after battling lung cancer. The news of her passing is quite sad to me, not just because she was my professor, but because she's with me in one form or another every day I'm in the studio. I had a trio of incredible instructors during my time at Moore, and I hear them in my head while I work, always reminding me to push myself, to seek further, to craft better, to hold myself to higher standards. From Deborah, I always remember other important lessons: to relax, to enjoy what she would call "happy accidents", and to remember to have fun. This is not to say she didn't demand a high level of craftsmanship or push us into pursuing our concepts to a logical and sound conclusion, but she always knew the value of loving the rigors while journeying to such ends.
Today's a sad day for me. I've been a bit weepy as I look at images of her work, or as I think about her and her warmth & kindness in the studio. She helped me through a particularly difficult senior year too, to which I'll always be thankful. Moore is a small women's art school, and our Textile department was even smaller. We all luxuriated in huge amounts of one-on-one time with our professors, and as a small tight-knit community of textiles artists, loosing one of our own cuts especially deep. But I'm thankful for her lessons, ever rattling in my brain. I'm thankful for her kindness, for the scores of artists that she taught and enriched along the way, and very thankful to count myself among that number.
Thank you, Deborah. We all love and miss you.

BNY Mellon expands cross-border payment offering
The bank also gains entry into China as custodian for a new Chinese fund.
We maintain a price estimate of $27 for BNY Mellon's stock, which is around 15% above the current market price. We largely attribute this premium to the weak short-term outlook for global custody banking compounded by the deteriorating economic conditions in the eurozone. The bank's foreign-exchange related lawsuits are also a bitter pill for investors to swallow.
More choice for clients = more business for BNY Mellon
BNY Mellon's Payment Decision Service automatically executes cross-border payments on behalf of clients based on various standing instructions, which are pre-agreed upon by the bank and its clients. This allows the clients to complete payments across the globe in an efficient and reliable manner. Until recently, however, BNY Mellon's service was restricted to payments in the U.S. dollar. Hence, clients who needed to make payments to their vendors/business associates in other currencies were forced to either shoulder additional foreign exchange costs, or go through other payment service providers.
With BNY Mellon enabling payments in three more currencies -- EUR, GBP and AUD -- the bank essentially supports payments in currencies that account for more than four-fifths of all global payments.
It must be mentioned here that BNY Mellon has been working hard to make good the loss in reputation it suffered, and continues to suffer, for its alleged misrepresentation of foreign exchange rates to its clients over years in order to pocket more profits. Even as the bank faces a series of lawsuits concerning these issues, it has recently taken some steps to address some of the biggest concerns regarding exchange-rate transparency raised in these lawsuits. We believe that the new payment options should complement these concrete steps taken by BNY Mellon to help grow its foreign exchange business in the years to come.
And this is just the beginning of what China has to offer
China, the world's second largest economy, is looking for ways to promote the use of the yuan globally -- something that is seen as a necessity to ensure continued growth in local businesses for the export-driven economy. Consequently, it has opened its doors to international financial institutions in the recent past -- like the pilot cross-border yuan transaction carried out by Deutsche Bank (DB) earlier this year.
The appointment of BNY Mellon as the global custodian for a Chinese fund is yet another step in that direction. The S&P 500 index QDII fund was launched in Q2 2012 by Bosera Asset Management and has the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) as its local custodian. The fund will add to BNY Mellon's assets under custody and management of nearly $2.7 trillion.

According to the Guardian newspaper, Selfridges is selling dozens of units at once to corporate IT buyers, indicating that the device is catching on with businesses. In fact, Selfridges said in a statement, the Q10 is its fastest-selling consumer electronics product ever for its London, Birmingham and Manchester stores. It said that the initial inventory of the Q10 "sold out in stores within two hours," and added that new stock is "being continually delivered on the hour, every hour to keep up with demand."
Selfridges, a department store, and Carphone Warehouse outlets are currently the only retailers for the device in the U.K. Carphone Warehouse has also reported sellouts.
Building on Installed Base
At least one analyst has suggested that 2,000 units of the Q10 were sold in the first 90 minutes of availability. BlackBerry has not yet indicated the total sale numbers. However, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins told Bloomberg News on Monday that he expects sales of the Q10 to reach the "tens of millions." He added that the Q10 is building on "the installed base of more than 70 million BlackBerry users."
The Q10 is the new BlackBerry 10 unit with a physical keyboard, as opposed to the all-touchscreen Z10, which launched in the U.K. in January. Interestingly, most of the promotional and advertising effort has been behind the Z10, since it represented a new direction more in line with the all-touchscreen iPhone and Android models. The Z10 sold about a million units in the quarter ending March 2.
There had been some reports of high rates of return for the Z10, but Heins has said those reports were false, and the rates are "better than previous BlackBerry launches." In mid-April, BlackBerry said it would ask securities regulators to investigate a report of high returns from one investment research firm, because, the company said, it may have been an attempt to manipulate its stock prices.
Leader in Five Years?
This wave of interest in the Q10, assuming it holds and spreads, could indicate that there is still a large demand for the physical keyboards that have characterized BlackBerry phones in the past.
At least one investment analyst firm, Wedge Partners, has speculated that BlackBerry is in the process of cutting back on Z10 production. Other analysts have disputed that sentiment, and have noted that Z10 sales are steady in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. (continued...)

SAN DIEGO (WKZO) -- A San Diego woman who allegedly escaped a Michigan prison nearly four decades ago will remain behind bars. Judy Hayman's request to be released was denied by a judge Monday, which will give prosecutors more time to get a warrant from Michigan to send her back to that state.
Michigan officials say Hayman escaped from a state prison 37 years ago while serving time for larceny. She remained on the lam until last month, when authorities tracked her down in San Diego and arrested the now 60-year-old woman. Her lawyer claims Hayman went back to Michigan in 1982 to resolve the case and had her sentence suspended.

The proposal has been submitted to President Bishop, and is under review by the President's Council.

A centralized office for all student part-time hiring.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

I was also happy with how well it turned out. I'm not a huge fan of makeup, because many times it looks as if the person wearing it had crayons do an orgy on their face. IE way too much make up.
I was very relieved when the makeup looked great and natural. And she looked stunning.

3 Financial Stocks to Watch
DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. Customers Bancorp Customers Bancorp ( CUBI) provides various banking and financial products and services to small businesses, not-for-profits and consumers. This stock closed up 4.1% at $19.02 in Wednesday's trading session. Wednesday's Volume: 1.04 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 91,155
Volume % Change: 1061% From a technical perspective, CUBI spiked sharply higher here with monster upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low of $16.50 to its recent high of $19.31. During that uptrend, shares of CUBI have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of CUBI within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if CUBI manages to take out Wednesday's high at $19.09 to its all-time high at $19.31 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CUBI as long as it's trending above Wednesday's low of $18.31 or above $17.50 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 91,155 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then CUBI will set up to enter new all-time high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $23 to $25.

The Australian government is proposing to ban all brand images and use of color on cigarette packaging, the New York Times reported April 29.
The plan submitted to Parliament for consideration would make Australia the first country to restrict cigarette packaging to plain boxes, with promotional text limited to brand and product names in a standardized color, position, font, and size. The proposal also calls for limits on Internet advertising, new taxes, and new antismoking campaigns.
Philip Morris International called the proposal "an unconstitutional expropriation of valuable intellectual property, violating a variety of Australia's international trade obligations." But Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said the government "will not be intimidated by any big tobacco company."

A Different Kind of Wood Saw
This clever submission caught my eye, especially given this comment about wooden saw replicas on our extremely popular Cabinet Saw Caption post.
I always wanted a wood saw so I made one.

Im greatful for having such a wonderful girlfriend in the world. You've support in what i want and support me in the time of need. I really do appreciate everything you do for me from putting up with me to doing things that make me happy and smile.

But i know for sure that i want to do whatever i can and will do everything to show you how much you mean to me and how much i love you. From the bottom of my heart to the last speck of dust of love.

This is the point in my life that ive been waiting for so i can change the things i need to change in my life.

An epidemic of measles is currently raging in the Miandgja, Ngomashi, and Lwibo districts in the Masisi region of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. There are hundreds of thousands of children living in these areas who have not been immunized against measles. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has therefore launched a large-scale emergency vaccination campaign and has also treated 130 children who have contracted measles.More >
Kinshasa, November 6, 2009 – Last month, seven vaccination sites operated by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) came under fire during attacks by the Congolese army against the Forces Démocratiques de Libération du Rwanda (FDLR) in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Thousands of civilians had gathered at the sites. MSF denounces this clearly unacceptable abuse of humanitarian aid for military purposes.More >
MSF is providing treatment to those infected, and has launched a vaccination campaign for approximately 400,000 children between six months and 15 years of age.More >
Since April, an outbreak of measles has been sweeping through the town of Guri El and nearby areas in the Galgaduud region of South and Central Somalia. So far, MSF has treated 403 patients for measles-related complications in the area.More >
During the last four months, MSF teams in cooperation with the national health officials have been moving quickly, following the epidemic trend, to help treat tens of thousands of patients and to proceed swiftly on a massive vaccination campaign for 7.5 million people.More >
A total of 1,900 people have died in Nigeria, Chad, and Niger in a recent meningitis epidemic and MSF has launched its largest ever vaccination campaign against the disease.More >
This year's meningitis outbreak in northern Nigeria has already led to the deaths of over 1,500 people. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), in cooperation with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, is carrying out a mass vaccination campaign as well as undertaking the very important task of treating the patients who are suffering from the disease.More >
More than 1,900 people affected by meningitis have died since the beginning of this year in an area of sub-Saharan Africa known as the meningitis belt. In Nigeria, Niger and Chad alone, MSF medical teams have treated more than 56,000 sick patients. The organization is currently vaccinating a total population of more than seven million in the three countries, the biggest vaccination campaign MSF has ever carried out.More >
Several countries in West Africa are facing a major meningitis epidemic. In Nigeria, this is the worst meningitis epidemic the country has experienced since 1996.More >
"It's true that vaccinations stop the epidemic from spreading, but without emergency medical treatment for patients with meningitis, the number of lives lost would be catastrophic," says MSF doctor Nico Heijenberg.More >

Defender reaping the benefits of regular first team football.
Seamus Coleman
Seamus Coleman believes he is reaping the benefits of playing regular first team football in his preferred position.
The Republic of Ireland international was recognised for his current rich vein of form when he scooped the Club's March player of the month accolade on Thursday afternoon.
After a couple of minor injury setbacks, Coleman has been a mainstay for the Blues since the middle of February, and has now racked up 26 appearances in all competitions this season.
"I've felt good all season," Coleman told evertontv. "I've had a few niggling injuries - nothing serious - but the last couple of months since I have been back I felt good and very fit.
"I've been doing a bit of yoga and stuff like that [to help stay fit]. Long may it continue and hopefully I can play every game now until the end of the season."
Coleman continued: "I've grown into the role more as the season has gone on. At the start of the season it was my first go [at right-back] since my Blackpool loan spell. Early doors, maybe there was a mistake or two but I feel as though I have got more confident as the games have gone on.
"The manager put me in right midfield for a couple of seasons but I've always seen myself as a full-back and I think he did too. Luckily for me and unfortunately for Tony [Hibbert], he was injured and it meant that I got my chance. I've really enjoyed it."
After four shut-outs in the last five games, Coleman will be keen to keep another clean sheet at the Stadium of Light this Saturday.
Impressively, the Blues are unbeaten in their last 18 matches against the Black Cats, dating back to the pre-David Moyes era.
Twenty-four-year-old Coleman says silencing Sunderland both on-and-off the pitch will be crucial if the Toffees are to take that formidable record into another season.
"The game against Arsenal was a positive result and if we can go into the game against Sunderland looking for all three points it will be a good week," added the Irishman.
"Martin O'Neill is obviously a great manager but they saw fit to change it. Paolo Di Canio has come in and you can see what kind of character he is. He is on the touchline for the 90 minutes and he is celebrating goals like he scored them.
"It's going to be a tough atmosphere on Saturday and he will have them right up for it. But we know what we are in for and if we can get an early goal and silence them that will be positive.
"With five games to go we are still in with a shout of finishing where we want to finish and we would have taken that at the start of the year."

The installation of an expensive addition to Lee County's ambulance system will be completed this week.
The Opticom system is supposed to make it easier for EMS and Fire Rescue crews to navigate through traffic.
"There's a tremendous amount of traffic, and a lot of times there's just not any spot for vehicles to go," Lee EMS Deputy Chief Scott Tuttle said.
Tuttle says along the Highway 41 corridor, his crews have a high-tech help getting through traffic.
"We started installing it about four years ago, today is significant because we're getting our last vehicle online," Tuttle said.
Called the Opticom system, it's a set of wires is installed in each EMS ambulance in Lee County. The wires are connected to GPS technology that activates when lights and sirens are running.
"The system is sophisticated enough to know the speed of the travel of the vehicle, the direction of travel and whether there is a turn indicator on," Tuttle said.
Instead of fighting through traffic at a red light, the Opticom system sends a GPS signal which prompts the traffic light at an intersection to change.
"The other vehicles don't have to sit there and fight and struggle on which direction to move for an ambulance," Tuttle said.
It's an investment worth more than $200,000, made in partnership with Lee Department of Transportation and the South Trail and Iona-McGregor Fire Districts, but the total cost to taxpayers is just $66,000, with grants taking care of the rest.
"As a taxpayer myself, I'm very comfortable with the amount of money we spent on the system and the safety it provides to motorists," Tuttle said.

Cervical Health Awareness Month is observed in January of each year. Formerly known as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, the name was updated a few years ago to recognize women diagnosed with non-cancerous cervical diseases that still require follow-up and, in some cases, treatment.
In the years I've been working in ASHA's HPV and cervical cancer programs we've seen HPV vaccines come to market that are effective and recommended for routine use with all adolescent females and males; the emergence of HPV DNA tests as a standard of care for women 30 and older; and even political tussling over policy and practice in the field. So much progress, but many challenges remain.
The vaccines are the field's bold-face headline of the last decade, of course, and are a shining public health triumph. We need to do a better job, though, of getting more "needles in arms." HPV vaccine rates badly lag those of other adolescent immunizations: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that in 2011, only 53% of females ages 13-17 had received at least one dose of an HPV vaccine, and a scant 34.8% completed the three-dose series. Uptake with the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, by comparison, was 78.2%. The challenge with males is even greater: In 2011 only 8.3% had received even one shot, with 1.3% completing the series.
An age-old issue is that cervical cancer remains mainly a disease of poverty: poor women are diagnosed more often with the disease, and are more likely to die as a result. Approximately 80% of all cervical cancers occur in the developing world; India bears the largest burden. A number of efforts are underway to address this, including the development of HPV tests designed specifically for low-resource areas (where fresh water and electricity may not be available) and smart phone apps that allow rural health care workers to more efficiently diagnose and treat cervical cancer.
I would say it's an exciting time to be in this field but the truth is it's always exciting, with plenty of triumph, heartbreak, and challenge around each turn. We invite you to get involved! Check out these resources and let us know what's on your mind as we head into 2013:
I wish you and yours the best in 2013. Let's make it a great year!
