Perhaps no one understands the evolution of the role of the NHL tough guy more so than Tim Hunter.
His credentials as one are distinguished: eighth on the NHL's all-time penalty minute leaders list at 3,142; two-time NHL single season penalty minute frontrunner.
He saw plenty of action in his 16-year career (1981-1997), and encountered hundreds of other tough guys who could never approach or eclipse his longevity. Look at it this way: his inaugural bout came against Glen Cochrane, December 28, 1981, and he wrapped up his fistic days with an April 19, 1997 scrap with Ken Baumgarter.
In between, there were approximately 199 fighting majors, and dozens of epic tussles.
"There are not too many guys who've had more fights in the game than I have," says Tim Hunter, 52, assistant coach with the Washington Capitals.
When Hunter entered the league in 1981, the NHL could still prove to be a cauldron of bad blood, unbridled emotion spilling into bench clearing brawls and multiplayer melees.
His skills were soft, but his passion for survival was scorching.
"I was told in the Central Hockey League that in order to play, I had to be the best defenseman or the meanest son of a bitch in the league. I tried to be some of both. When I made it to the NHL, I really wasn't capable of playing good hockey."
Hunter evolved as a stronger skater and found his way; he laced up the skates in 947 NHL games, including more than 100 playoff competitions. The game allowed for that type of development back then.
"There's no room for that type of player now," says Hunter. "There is no room to evolve in today's NHL. You have to be capable of playing and you have to win. You have to be capable of playing against any team and all players. There is less of a disparity between your first skater and twelfth skater now. You would be able to hide guys then – you can't today."
Limited role players don't exactly thrive in today's era, those multipurpose types who can be brutish, fight when needed, and even chip in the occasional goal.
"In my opinion, Shawn Thornton is the best today," says Hunter. "He can play against anybody. He won't dominate a guy like John Scott. But he won't end up injured, either. Where Scott has trouble with the faster players, Thornton doesn't. Fighting is still part of the entertainment package."
Hunter's first scrap in the league paired him up against veteran pugilist Glen Cochrane, of the Philadelphia Flyers.
"In reality, I wasn't nervous," says Hunter. "I fought every tough guy in the Central Hockey League and I had trained hard and prepared hard. Glen was a tough guy, probably around six-feet, four inches. I bumped him and he didn't like it. I was always pretty well prepared. In my career, you can't say that I was ever knocked down and left in a pool of my own blood."
Hunter says that the majority, if not all, of his fights were spontaneous or related to the course of play. Very rarely, would he accept any premeditated invitations. Even though he was well-acquainted with rough elements, most of his battles, he says, were "spur of the moment."
"I was never one of those guys who felt as if on the first shift you had to fight the other team's tough guys," says Hunter. "I never asked Cochrane, or Terry O'Reilly, or even Dave Semenko. I gave them no choice, or they gave me no choice. You know when it's time. Later on, there were young guys who would want to fight right off of the faceoff, and I'd turn them down. I'd ask, 'why are you here?' Get out, play, do something, and give me a reason."
Fighting has received a whopping black eye since the spate of deaths of NHL enforcers a few years ago. Looking for something to blame, many chose to attribute the stress of fighting for the off-ice problems of a few men who seemed to have a predisposition for danger.
"What troubles me," says Hunter. "is that some people say that fighting was the cause of these deaths – Wade Belak, Rick Rypien – and that it was related to their job as a hockey player. Most tough guys lead normal lives, and I think that they would have had problems whether or not they worked at a gas station or were CEOs. I don't believe it was hockey that did it to them. All players face pressure, even guys who score face pressure. What has happened is that fighting has been blamed, when it's really been about addiction problems."
Hunter has little or no sympathy for a player who embraced a role, signed a contract, received a paycheck, and then grumbles that hockey has scarred him for life.
"When I hear former tough guys complain, it makes me wonder why they didn't just quit or get out of the game."
Noted for his exceptional stamina and exceedingly long fights, Hunter was the NHL penalty-minute leader in 1986-87 (361 PIM's in Calgary), and again with the Flames in 1988-89 (375 PIM); he is still the Calgary Flames career leader in penalty minutes, with 2,405. There are a few fights that poke through Hunter's memory; a tussle with Kevin Maguire, his epic confrontations with archrival Dave Semenko; scraps with long-arm slinger Dave Brown; and encounters involving Nick Fotiu.
"Fighting in the playoffs was always more fun," says Hunter.
In the first of his four fights with Edmonton Oilers' Dave Semenko, in the playoffs, on April 17, 1983, Hunter tossed left after left against the wild-haired, helmetless enforcer. After the officials interceded, Semenko fired another shot. "Semenko suckered me over the top," says Hunter. "I learned from that to protect myself at all times. There really is no code in fighting. If you drop your guard, you will get hurt. The code is a crock of shit – something that Don Cherry throws at people. Guys will do a lot of things, especially when you are dealing with a salary."
"Nick Fotiu played in the 1970s," continues Hunter. "I got into the game around the last part of that wild era. Fotiu was upset because I beat up Dan Maloney earlier in the period (on October 27, 1982), and Fotiu speared me with about seven seconds left. He hit me on the top of the head at the hairline, and my helmet just exploded."
Years later, Hunter and Fotiu ended up as teammates in Calgary.
"Nick stepped in to fight Craig Coxe one night (on March 30, 1986)," says Hunter. "Nick hit Coxe and broke his orbital bone. Coxe just shakes his head and keeps fighting. I was shocked. I've never heard such an impact. It was amazing."
Over the years, there were good nights, and, as the balance and law of averages dictates, not so good nights. But considering the amount of times he discarded the gloves and the escalating mass and size of the opposition he stood up to, he endured remarkably well, and incurred few injuries. There was one time in the early 1990s when he did break his ankle in a scrum against Buffalo. The Sabres' were looking for revenge on Jamie Macoun, who had high-sticked Pat LaFontaine, in an earlier game. LaFontaine had lost bone and teeth and bled profusely from a severed facial artery. "Of all the guys to grab me, it was my ex-teammate Colin Patterson. I went down."
Hunter's policy on the ice was ordinarily an unpretentious cycle of battle, forgive, and then forget. The one exception to that rule was his relationship with Marty McSorley, who once had jumped Hunter and clawed at his face. The pair resolved their dispute with a second period grudge match, on October 10, 1991; McSorley was on the Los Angeles Kings and Hunter was a Flame then. Years later, the two tough guys ended up as his teammates in San Jose. "I'd sustained damage behind the eyeball once courtesy of Marty and his gouging," says Hunter. "We had a pretty big fight in Los Angeles and I enjoyed that one. When we were in the locker room together, it was always in the back of my mind."
Despite the fact that Hunter, who has more than 1,000 games to his credit in thirteen years as an assistant coach, will help to influence the composition of the Washington Capitals' 2013-2014 roster, there is no guarantee he will reserve a spot for a player who is practical with his fists.
"Good tough guys are really hard to find today," says Hunter.

Israel's Next Chief Rabbi Has Illustrious Shoes To Fill—From Long Ago
Can David Stav, who is in line for the post, return it to the stature it held before his immediate predecessors?
In early 2010 Takanah's leaders felt obliged to go public with their accusations against Elon, who had allegedly not honored his private promises to them. He was eventually indicted in late 2011 on two counts of indecent assault allegedly committed against two 17-year-old boys between 2003-2005. Similar actions involving young men 18 and over were reportedly known to Takanah but could not be prosecuted legally. Several months ago, in February of 2013—the month in which his father died—the Jerusalem Magistrate Court dropped one of the charges against Elon, following the refusal of a witness to testify.
The rather tawdry spectacle that is now unfolding in Israel makes one wonder whether the country will ever again have a chief rabbi who is more than a mediocrity—quite unlike, it must be noted, the period from the British Mandate through the Jewish state's early years. In 1983 Menachem Elon, already a member of Israel's Supreme Court, was the candidate favored by Menachem Begin's center-right coalition—which included the religious Zionist Mafdal party, the ancestor of today's Jewish Home—for the largely ceremonial position of president. Somewhat mysteriously the secret ballot among members of Israel's Knesset granted the victory to one of their own, the recently elected MK Chaim Herzog, who had served as an officer in both the British military (during World War II) and in the IDF, where he had twice been head of Military Intelligence. Of greater relevance was Herzog's more recent stint as Israel's envoy to the United Nations (1975-1978)—a post previously occupied by his brother-in-law Abba Eban—especially his famous speech in response to the General Assembly's resolution condemning Zionism as racism, during which he tore up the official document in front of the assembled delegates.
With this dramatic gesture, Herzog was following in the footsteps of his revered father Isaac (1888-1959), Israel's first Ashkenazi chief rabbi. In May of 1939, when Isaac Herzog was chief rabbi of Palestine, he led a march in Jerusalem against the notorious White Paper on the future of Palestine issued by the British government. During that demonstration he symbolically tore up the document, which called for limiting Jewish immigration despite the perils faced then faced by European Jewry. Herzog's elder son Chaim joined the Hagganah in 1936 and then enlisted with the British army to fight in Europe. His intellectually gifted younger brother Jacob remained behind but served in Hagganah intelligence. Unlike David Stav, Rabbi Herzog could not claim that both he and his sons had served in uniform, but he did fight the White Paper ferociously.
No less courageous was Rabbi Herzog's address in early June of 1944 at the eighth All Palestine Conference of the Mizrachi Organization held in Jerusalem—the religious Zionist organization that spawned the political party now headed by Netanyahu's former head of staff Naphtali Bennett. Herzog opened by mourning the "horrible slaughter of millions of our brethren" as well as the destruction of great yeshivot such as those in Vilna, Grodno, Lublin, and Lomza—the last being his own birthplace. The chief rabbi also expressed his gratitude "to the Christian Churches—Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, as well as to the Anglican Churches—for their endeavors on behalf of suffering Jewry" and appealed, as might be expected, to the United Nations to "open the gates of Zion." He also brazenly called upon the nations of the world "to bring a sin-offering to atone for the historic crime committed by you all against the Jewish people."
But the most striking part of Herzog's speech—later published in English as "the Present Gloom and the Prophetic Light"—was its last section, in which he called for a "spiritual revival" of the Jewish people in its historic land and for a Zionism that would not be "a mere secular movement … divorced from the words of God." Palestine's chief rabbi denounced Jewish secular nationalism as dangerously close to the "unbridled nationalism … which has brought about the present world destruction" and boldly asserted that "while secular Zionism denounces assimilation, it is itself guilty of spiritual assimilation, inasmuch as it would mold the rebuilding of Jewish nationhood in the form of alien nationalism." True Jewish nationalism, in his view, drew upon the prophetic "vision of universal peace" and strove for "the spiritual perfection of the whole world."
Which of today's candidates for the position of Israel's chief rabbi—Ashkenazi or Sephardi—could, or would, challenge the country's political leadership in that way?
Stav's primary interest is in such things as allowing Israelis to register for marriage with any rabbi in the country so that they won't opt for civil marriage in Cyprus. But one hopes he will also have something to say, for example, to ultra-Orthodox Jews who like him have nine children but are unable or unwilling to find jobs to feed their own families. Will either he or his erstwhile rabbinical colleague Shai Piron—who ran as No. 2 on Lapid's list and is now Israel's education minister—have the courage to confront the Israeli people and its leaders on such issues as the country's obscenely high poverty rate or its abysmal treatment of dark-skinned refugees from Africa? One can only hope. It may be too much to ask for someone with Rabbi Herzog's unflinching courage, but perhaps we can at least get someone who cares about "the spiritual perfection of the whole world."

This game may be remembered in December, which would not be a good thing for Real Salt Lake.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
If the MLS Cup final on Dec. 7 seems a long way off, that day hardly could take much longer to arrive than Saturday's end of stoppage time in RSL's 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City at Rio Tinto Stadium.
RSL absolutely deserved a better result while facing staggering personnel issues before, during and after this game.
Already short-staffed, Real played a man down for the final 30 minutes and competed gamely. This team usually disdains home-field ties, but a point in the standings — and limiting KC to one point, instead of three — certainly would have been acceptable under the circumstances.
A meaningful game in the middle of the Major League Soccer regular season? That's a novelty. So, to some degree, was RSL coach Jason Kreis' all-out blaming of inexperienced referee Matthew Foerster and the MLS administrators who assigned him to a high-profile contest.
"He should not have been refereeing that game," Kreis said.
While I never like to endorse such complaints or attribute any outcome to officiating, Kreis merits this forum because of the outstanding job he's doing this season and the conditions his team was dealing with Saturday.
The league's two best teams battled in a physical, confrontational, controversial game that ultimately turned when Real defender Chris Wingert was ejected for a second yellow card. Foerster's call was "an incredibly poor decision against us," Kreis said.
RSL almost immediately gave up a tying goal, and tried vainly to hold on for the tie.
Somehow, you just knew this was not going to end well, when Kreis and others on the bench kept pressuring the officials to determine that stoppage time was exhausted after the ball was knocked out of bounds. KC's corner kick was allowed to occur and Ike Opara headed home the winning goal in the 97th minute. Just like that, RSL's club-record 11-game unbeaten streak (counting Gold Cup competition) was over.
Do the math: That's seven extra minutes, after stoppage time was announced as five minutes. "Those are difficult things to keep track of, I guess," Kreis said wryly.
The standings are more clear-cut. Even after the loss, RSL (11-6-4) remains just ahead of KC (10-5-6), in position to win its first Supporters Shield for the best regular-season record in the league and potentially host the MLS Cup final.
Now that RSL's remarkable run is over, it has to be said that this kind of success simply was not supposed to happen in 2013. On that Monday in December when three dependable players were traded in moves made necessary by the salary cap — the "day of reckoning," by general manager Garth Lagerwey's description — this season immediately presented itself as a case of rebuilding and reorganizing.
Next thing you know, RSL's leading the entire league. The recent run of six wins and two ties in MLS play came with 10 players lost due to injury or international duty at various times. Real again played without mainstays Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando, Alvaro Saborio and Tony Beltran, all involved in the Gold Cup tournament. Third-string goalkeeper Jeff Attinella made his first MLS start, thanks to Rimando's absence and Josh Saunders' season-ending knee injury, becoming the 25th player to be introduced as an RSL starter this season.
And yet these guys kept winning — until Saturday, when they deserved a tie, at worst.
The obvious conclusion is that Kreis is doing some of his finest work in his seventh season. All he wanted Saturday was for the league's officiating department to match him.

Back from "Vacation" | Life after Columbia07252011
I don't even remember the last time I was on this page. Not much has happened since school finished. I participated in a competition with a professor of mine, bought myself a new bike which I'm really excited about, playing basketball, and just hanging out. I was overdue for a vacation/break and I was looking forward to getting some rest after 6 years of school!
These last few weeks I've been slowly working on a portfolio for an upcoming interview. This particular portfolio does not include all my academic work from columbia. I will continue to work on this portfolio for myself and then post it on ISSUU.com I'm ready to go back to work. I hope that with a job I can begin to start adding new material to this blog more frequently!

Teaching young children table manners can pay off big dividends – they will be more confident when dining away from home, and their good manners will cause them to be welcomed guests!
So, what should you teach young children, and how? As with teaching anything to children - like buckling up for safety in the car – use repetition, repetition, and repetition, until manners become habits. And, if you make manners fun, children are more likely to enjoy using them at your table and when dining out.
Here are the most important rules for little people:

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The card came quickly, looked exactly as pictured, and they even added another line that wasn't part of the template, and sent me a proof to review within 6 minutes (!!!) of submitting my order. How awesome is that? I love this site. We got our wedding invitations here too, so I knew to expect good things, but it's always nice to feel even MORE impressed. I'll definitely be back."
"Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this shower invitation. The paper was almost 'linen' like and the printing looked hand painted. Also pleased that I was able to print where the couple was registered on the back without extra charge!"
"This invitation is even better in person than it appears on line. The papper is heavy, the printing is clear and crisp. The colors more vibrant. I made a few adjustments with the designers via email and my proof cam back perfect! I would recommend this to my friends!"
"1st quality and so impressive. Addressed these invitations right away so that everyone could see them..Will use this company every time I need any type of stationary. Thank you very much"

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 21 points as number-5 Michigan bounced back from its first loss of the season by posting an 83-to-75 win last night at ninth-ranked Minnesota. The key Big Ten victory saw the Wolverines rebound from their three point loss Sunday at number-11 Ohio State. Hardaway made good on 7-of-8 field goal attempts, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range.
Trey Burke added 18 points and nine assists as Michigan shot 55% from the floor as a team. The Wolverines improved to 4-and-1 in conference play and 17-and-1 overall. Michigan is tied for second place in the Big Ten with Michigan State, both trailing 4-and-0 Wisconsin. Minnesota dropped to 3-and-2 in the league and 15-and-3 overall. The Wolverines are idle now until next Thursday when they host Purdue.
Also last night in the Big Ten, number-23 Illinois was stunned at home by Northwestern 68-to-54. And Detroit Mercy blew a 20 point second half lead and lost their Horizon League game at home last night to Valparaiso 89-to-88 at Calihan Hall.

A recent review of Iowa City's longtime sidewalk inspections prove them to be effective, according to Iowa City leaders.
The system requires property owners to cover the costs of repairs in front of their homes
However, some homeowners say faulty sidewalks shouldn't be their responsibility.
Iowa City resident Susan Ray says she's received one of the city's notices about sidewalk repairs in the past, and has no problem with the system.
"We received a notice from the city that it needed to be fixed and we called and had a company come out and fix it," said Susan.
However, Jacob Hodges says some things are out of the homeowners control, like tree roots causing the sidewalks to buckle or crack, so paying is not fair.
"As far as clearing the snow, I think that's the homeowners responsibility, but if there's something wrong with the sidewalk I don't think that's the homeowners job," said Hodges. "I think the city should take care of that."
Rick Fosse, Iowa City Public Works director, says the goal is to simply provide a safe and walkable environment.
He says a reduction in claims shows the city's plan works well.
From 1990-1999 the city paid $173,590 in trip and fall claims, from 2000-2009 it dropped to $8,630, and since 2010 the city hasn't paid a dime in claims.
Fosse says in December a council member suggested that the city cover the cost of the sidewalk repairs, but due to limited funds the council didn't agree.

Former stopper Myhre says Mucha will be desperate to keep place.
Jan Mucha
Thomas Myhre has warned Tim Howard that deputy Jan Mucha won't give up his gloves too easily.
Slovakian Mucha has kept goal in each of Everton's last three games with first-choice stopper Howard nursing two broken bones in his back.
The first of those outings - a 3-1 win against Reading - saw Mucha make his first ever Premier League appearance for the Blues, despite joining the Club from Legia Warsaw as long ago as July 2010.
Mucha's clean sheet on Saturday helped Everton record a 2-0 win over reigning champions Manchester City, a performance which earned rave reviews from pundits and teammates alike.
Former Toffee Myhre was also impressed, but says it's no surprised to see Mucha rising to the challenge.
Myhre himself had the unenviable task of replacing Neville Southall at Goodison Park but later lost his spot to Paul Gerrard after just one-and-a-half seasons as the Club's No.1.
"It is not easy being a deputy sometimes and Tim Howard has done ever so well for the club," said Myhre. "The thing for Jan is that Tim has hardly ever been injured.
"Tim performs well season in, season out and it's been hard to see how he could be rested.
"David Moyes said earlier this season that maybe he needed another keeper to keep Tim on his toes, but Jan has done well since he came in.
"He made some very good saves against City and I'm sure it was a relief for him.
"Maybe Jan will be thinking about playing so well he gives the manager something to think about when Tim is fit.
"I played 80 or so games for Everton but then got injured and found it very difficult to get my place back when I recovered.
"It will be interesting to see what Moyes does. Everton haven't kept as many clean sheets as I'm sure they would have liked to this season.
"I'm certainly not saying that's Tim's fault but Jan will be wanting to make his mark."

Halloween in Brooklyn by Joey L
I only had one mission while on my birthday weekend trip to nyc and that was to eat. I was very successful. I had a lot of fun and met up with a lot of tumblr(s) and instagram(ers)! Everyone took me in with open arms and were more than stoked to join me in my foodie/drinking ventures.
I can see how people can fall in love with a city like this. I was in the middle of everything with access to go anywhere. Different food options on every corner and all i had to do was instagram a picture with my location and somebody i knew would pop up and meet me around the corner to join me for breakfast. Everyone is connected here. In a giant city, it really still is a small tight knit social media community. California definitely still has my heart, but i could see myself cheating on her for a couple years to give this whole nyc thing a go possibly. I've already started considering jobs.
I enjoyed every single person i crossed paths with this entire weekend and thank them immensely for sparing time out of their schedules & relationships to show me the ropes. I definitely got spoiled. It truly was my best birthday celebration yet. And i think maybe next year, who knows, we might make this a permanent thing.
I also apologize to all the people who follow me on instagram (@itsbatgirl) they were subjected to so much food porn.
I loved shooting pictures of this skyline.
In the frantic search of the perfect doughnut, the guys from All You Can Eat Press, who after having traveled the length and breadth of the Big Apple just to taste as many donuts as possible, have created a small but beautiful map (with a mini infographic), minimalist design but very attractive and well made, that for only $ 8 we can find very easily the best donuts in NYC.

Overheard: It's the LUV economy
0 comments post a comment
LONDON Paul Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm Inc. (San Diego, Calif.) said he heard someone say it was a LUV economy. That is the European economy is performing in the shape of an L, the U.S. economy is performing in the shape of U and the Asian economy is performing like a V.
Speaking to attendees at the company's investor day in New York on Thursday (Nov. 12) Jacobs said: "I think maybe that is an accurate way of projecting it, based on how we see sales going in terms of demand for handsets."
Must Europe get used to the idea of recovery-less economy?

Last November, I published my review of Bloomberg Law, the recently launched legal research service from business news giant Bloomberg. One aspect of the service I did not mention in my review is the odd piece of hardware required to log-in. Whereas other legal research services rely on usernames and passwords, Bloomberg Law requires you to log-in using something it calls the B-Unit, a credit-card sized, biometric fingerprint reader that ensures that you and only you log-in to your Bloomberg Law account.
You can use it to log-in from anywhere you have Web access. After you enter your usual username and password, a screen prompts you for the B-Unit. Turn it on and its asks you to "present finger." Assuming it recognizes you, an small LCD display says, "ID valid." You then hold the B-Unit in front of your computer screen. After a few moments, a four-digit verification code appears in its LCD screen. Enter that in the space provided on the log-in screen, and you are good to go.
Below are some pictures. And, by the way, I'm pretty sure "doohickey" is the correct technical term.

I believe the correct technical term is closer to "dongle". Not sure this fits exactly, but see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongle. Same idea as original dongle when it comes down to it.

Any idea what the rent is on this or is it an subscription model?

The Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation was established in 1994 to provide ongoing support of the treatment efforts at the cancer center. Since that time, hundreds of generous individuals, companies and others continue to give to the Foundation in support of Thompson Cancer Survival Center. These gifts ensure leading-edge cancer treatment, clinical trials and technology advancements as well as services such as early detection; education and direct patient support are available and accessible to all people throughout our region regardless of their ability to pay.
As Thompson Cancer Survival Center continues to serve our community and the region, there are many opportunities for you to help strengthen our programs and services and make a difference in the fight against cancer.
The Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable organization under IRS code 501(c)(3). All donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed.
The BUDDY'S Race Against Cancer, a 5K walk and run, is Thompson's flagship fundraiser spearheaded by a partnership between Thompson and BUDDY'S bar-b-q. What started in 1993 with a handful of friends and a passion to raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detection has grown steadily to become one of the area's most successful fundraising efforts. That first race drew a crowd of several hundred and raised about $27,000. Since then, the BUDDY'S Race has raised $4 million for cancer screenings and education throughout East Tennessee. Thanks to BUDDY'S Race Against Cancer supporters and participants, thousands of medically-underserved individuals receive potentially life-saving screenings and education each year. Unlike some fundraisers, all of the proceeds go to fight cancer locally.
If you would like to know more about the work of the Thompson Cancer Survival Center Foundation or about making a contribution, please contact our office today at 865.541.1227.

Renowned Congolese doctor, Denis Mukwege, has been something of a savior for the victims of sexual
violence in his native country. His hospital has become a refuge and beacon of hope for thousands
of women.
Because Dr. Mukwege recognizes that his patients often suffer in silence, he has become a voice for
them. He travels around
the world –often at his own expense– to tell their stories and raise awareness
about the use of rape as a weapon of war.
He has been honored by the United Nations with the 2008 prize for human rights for his tireless work at
Panzi hospital. Dr. Mukwege was also named "African of the Year" by a Nigerian newspaper and has been
nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice.

The fallout from the firing of a former Department of Natural Resources manager accused of looking at thousands of driver's licenses in his off-time is still building. Several class action suits that seek to hold the ousted worker and the state responsible are underway.
Diane Knutson told FOX 9 News she plans to join the legal fight too, and she wants to know why there wasn't more oversight.
"I started thinking, 'Why us? We're not high profile. We're not any of these people they're talking about. We're just a neighbor," she said.
Knutson received one of the 5,000 letters mailed by the DNR a few weeks ago to inform her that her driver's license data was illegally viewed by an employee. By the time the agency named that employee on Friday by announcing his firing, Knutson said she already knew who the suspect was.
"We figured it out," she said. "Strong suspicion -- the car was gone. We kind of realized the DNR person they were talking about lives down the street."
John Hunt lives near Knutson's Woodbury home. He was an enforcement division manager for the agency, but he was not home when FOX 9 News stopped by.
Yet, although Knutson riddled out who was accused, her questions only began to grow when she learned her daughter-in-law got a letter too -- and so did her daughter-in-law's mother.
"In talking to her, she said, 'I got the same letter," Knutson said.
Now, Knutson wonders whether her family was being targeted by a neighbor they didn't really know.
"Made me mad," Knutson admitted. "Just makes me wonder what more he knows that I'm not aware of yet."
Knutson called one of the attorneys that filed a potential class-action lawsuit in the hopes of joining, and she wonders why no one at the DNR caught Hunt's off-duty visits for nearly four years.
"They need to be aware this information is out there. Nobody's watching them and that needs to stop," Knutson said. "They need to know this can't happen, and we can't feel violated like this."
FOX 9 News asked both the DNR and the Department of Public Safety why Hunt's use of the database wasn't watched more closely. The DNR explained that it had no monitoring system in place since the database was not theirs. DPS told FOX 9 News they check the top 50 users each month, but Hunt wasn't one of them.
Hunt has not yet been charged.

HAMPTON (AP) -- Hampton police are looking for those responsible for stealing historic copper from Fort Monroe.
Authorities say someone snuck into the moat area of the former Army base and stole copper and aluminum gutter piping from 10 buildings.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that two buildings were completely stripped of their gutters and downspouts. An additional eight buildings had some of the metal removed.
The copper, which has developed a patina over time, likely dates to between 1889 and 1909. Its value isn't yet known.
Police say the theft was bold because Hampton has a police officer who patrols the fort 24 hours a day.

text: UPDATE!!! Finally! The orange First Aid Rip Away Pouches are in stock! Orange 1st Aid Pouches Available in Large ($48.85) Or Medium ($37.99) Doc Opinions wanted!!! For quite some time now we have been trying to find a manufacturer to make an Orange 1st aid bag that can live up to our standards. The challenge has primarily been finding a MOLLE material in Orange. Here are the 1st prototypes that have actually seen the light of day. I would like your opinions and commentary on what you would like to see in such a pouch. As far as function goes...I think that these are pretty good. I am not too keen on the black webbing on the front as it makes the bag look like a halloween decoration (on the other hand it sure makes it stand out ) We have mocked up a bag in medium and large size...we will probably only make one at first. Which size would you like to see 1st. Price: About $40 for the medium and $50 for the large bag If all goes well, production may be as soon as Jan 1st 2012 Doc

An ambient kinetic sculpture that reacts to the amount of light around it. It always pulses up and down, but as there is more light, the leaves arch higher, and as there is less light, they pulse gently up to a low angle.
In this video, the light is strong, and then I am blocking the light sensor to simulate a dark room.
Ideas Taking Shape: Sundial: Process
As many warned me, muscle wire is a tricky material.
It reacts to direct voltage quite happily (if you have the correct equation of resistance per inch etc. in place) - but if you are sending voltage / input from the Arduino, it is not happy as the Arduino does not supply enough current. It only reacts in tiny amounts unless it is getting a huge amount of current (especially with several pieces of M.W.). It also is not happy holding its bended position for a long period of time - the most problematic thing in my last post's proposed design.
After experimenting a bunch I decided that I want to take more time to explore this material. Instead, I am returning to initial product sketches and tried and true materials.
My goal through this project has been:
- to see where the sun is throughout the day
- throughout the year
- understand its position in terms of cardinal directions
I now have prepared my object and done a mockup using the planned materials:
- sun path in veneer, a material that lets just the right shine of light through and speaks to the concept of understanding things outside while inside -
- mounted on a base with compass rose for orienting the direction of the object / sun path (must point South for proper reading)
- base box size allows for Arduino and Breadboard
- RTC clock working happily on BB
- yellow LEDs strung up from the breadboard through a foam core pre-cut with holes matching the LEDs position in the Arc Veneer top
- sides made with veneer mounted on felt
- top / bottom spacing secured by 4 small poles
- handheld: such that an average person could wrap his or her hands around the sides of the circle while it's on a desk or table.
I am not representing the full circle of the sun because it is this very location-specific view that I am illustrating.
Further products could explore the addition of the moon and a full circle.
Exploring the compass rose illustration… found some really inspiring drawings:
Ideas Taking Shape: Final: Process
General idea - leaves curling over, wires contained in light beech wood box - creating a small desktop piece.
Ideas Taking Shape: Final: Process
Improvements to the reaction of the muscle wire… using multiple "hour" / "month" inputs from the Arduino, filtering through the tip120
Ideas Taking Shape: Final: Process
I prototyped my initial idea for showing the path of the sun through the sky throughout the year.
This initial idea had been made up of 12 months/layers, each laser cut with the sunpath as the bottom arc and holes for each hour along that arc. These holes are according to the number of hours in that month and according to the sun's position at that precise hour.
LEDs light up at the sunlight hour and the month (so for example, in the November arc, and at 10 a.m.).
Having shown it to a lot of people and looked at it a lot myself, I still do not think it communicates all of the information very well.
Over the weekend and the beginning of this week, I have been working with muscle wire and think it could be the right medium for this project.
The concept behind it is:
Each hour is represented by a flower petal (24 in total, per month).
On the first hour of sunlight (7 a.m. for November), the 7 a.m. position petal curls back. Et cetera until 4 p.m. when the sun sets and all of the petals that had opened will close back to their original position.
As before, the actual arc length and shape is important to me, therefore each month will have a different containing arc.
There will be a full circle of petals, but only the hours of sunlight petals will be activated.
I am going to start with One Month and prepare the full hour wheel, so 17 normal petals and 7 muscle wire petals, and build from there.
In the below sketch, the pink are the muscle-wire incorporated, sun activated petals, and the blue will always stay still as they are the no-sun hours.
Rough tests:
I plan to contain the wiring and Arduino underneath the flower, in a thin plywood box that would sit comfortably on a desk or table - or could be mounted on the wall.
A lot of thinking through the process left me in the plan to begin with just one month.
See various possibilities:
In other news, the laptop stand!
Muscle Wire
Jie Qi taught Sophie and me about muscle wire yesterday. She is a fantastic teacher. We had so much fun! The pleasure of mixing electronics with craft… sewing the muscle wire into place, adjusting its placement with copper tape circuits…
To start with, we figured out how much muscle wire to use based on the voltage we were going to use (a 5v power source). Using Ohm's law (V = I / R) and research as to how many amps the muscle wire takes, (we used 0.006 HT Flexinol), we calculated that our target length was 9.6 inches. We cut our 9.6 inch pieces in half to have more material.
Then we crimped the ends of the muscle wire because it is easier to solder the crimp than to solder the tiny end of the muscle wire.
Next we soldered the muscle wire into place on the copper tape circuit. It's important to try to have the muscle wire tightly in place so that when you apply voltage and it tightens further, the interaction is swift.
We also sewed the muscle wire into its place in the paper so that the paper would be fully reactive rather than just pulling at either end.
Above you see the sewn paper / muscle wire, and the copper tape circuit connecting the two pieces of muscle wire (the total length of 9.6 more or less, to resist the 5V coming in properly).
Another circuit photo - this is the back of each panel:
Applying voltage, curling up!
Ideas Taking Shape: Sundial: Process
Sketches of how this could be… the arcs, where the arcs could sit, how the LEDs would climb the legs of the arc.
More details, thinking through the months… front view and side view:
Maybe having a tilted based would give the same understanding of the change in the arc / day etc?
I found a website that models the path of the sun throughout the year to model solar energy options.
It produces drawings like these:
I traced these and created thin arcs, with wholes where the hours are. I am lasercutting each arc, putting together a small arch structure where the LED wiring could fit behind the arcs and the LEDs would shine through each hole at the appropriate time.
Here is that sketch, with the arcs in month order. See how the arch changes throughout the year.
It makes more sense to go with an order that reflects the order of the sun throughout the year though:
I also tried piling up the above arches - one on top of the other - out of curiosity - though this would not be a feasible design because the light would not come through to the front if it were December or January.
And then the Arduino component of the clock - using Processing first, just to get a feel for the parsing, and then the Real Time Clock module. My tape tags show that the date is parsing correctly (It was 7:30 p.m. and November when I was testing).
Two models:
Without "data"
Some of the "real" sunpath models:
Ideas Taking Shape: Final
For my final, I am going to make a small, desktop sundial - season - clock.
There will be an arching wire for every month with LEDs along the wire. The LEDs mark the hours throughout the day, along the arch of the wire, mirroring the sun's path through the sky each day. This description of the sun's path is detailed - if it is a new month, the LEDs along a new wire will light up - demonstrating how the sun's path changes throughout the year.
The structure would be wrapped in rice paper or another slightly textured paper to mask the wiring underneath and diffuse the light from the LEDs slightly - such as the tea filters I used in my Light Jars.
My rough mockup / starting to understand the wire spots through the year.
For example, currently the sun rises south of east and south of west - not exactly in the east or exactly in the west.
I am deciding between several formats:
1. Full detail: every month, every hour. (12 arches, approx. 144 LEDs)
2. Part: every month, but rather than hourly, it would be chunk of hours (morning, middle, afternoon) (12 arches, approx 48 LEDs)
3. Part: seasons, every hour. There would be an arch per season, and LEDs lighting up every hour. (4 arches, 144 LEDs).
4. Detailed LEDs: for each part of the day, the LED colors would have variations: white+yellow (early morning), bright yellow (midday), or white/yellow/purple/blue/red (sunset).
5. Detailed LEDs + Internet info: if the day is cloudy, rainy, the LEDs will be yellow throughout the day. If bright and sunny, the LEDs will be white throughout the day. If the pollution index is high, the sunset colors will be particularly rainbow-like (according to the theory that the more polluted the day, the more glorious the sunset).
Rough trial: LEDs lighting up according to time of day / month.
This would live on desks, in living areas, in schools, and teach us about our environment at the same time as it added information to our days in an ambient, subtle way.
Other ideas on sunlight:
Untitled (for the Sun) by Jim Campbell - a clock that displays time as a percentage.
"Beginning at 0 at sunrise, the five-digit display shows the percentage of daylight already spent, reaching 99.999 at sunset… because time is measured by the length of daylight, the clock (or 'time') runs faster in the daytime in the winter then in the summer."

Bad bets in Las Vegas
Deutsche Bank AG probably never wanted to build a casino. But now it's stuck with a foreclosed project under construction.
The bank now owns a disaster in Las Vegas called Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino. The project's developer foreclosed on it last year, and Deutsche Bank had to choose between selling the project or finishing it.
It chose to finish it. And now, things are so bad that water must be pumped out of it non-stop after workers hit an underground aquifer.
Deutsche Bank also made some other bad bets in Vegas, such as lending money to the now-bankrupt Station Casinos and the unfinished Fontainebleau, according to Bloomberg.
Cosmopolitan is supposed to have two high-rise condo and hotel towers, a resort and casino. Its construction price tag has zoomed to $3.9 billion from $1.8 billion, and Deutsche Bank has had to write down $748 million on the project, Bloomberg reports.
Right now, Cosmopolitan is the most expensive project for a single lender in Las Vegas.
"Any construction project of this size runs into problems," a real estate market researcher told Bloomberg. "But to bump into an aquifer is just bad luck."

You may have heard everyone talking about this year's flu season, but you might not give it another thought unless you actually get the flu. If you do get sick, knowing what to do can help you feel better faster.
Try these tips if you get the flu:
Most people who get the flu get better without having to see their doctor. But if your flu symptoms get worse, if you have a high temperature for more than a few days, if you have any trouble breathing, or if you seem to get better but then feel worse again, call your doctor right away.
And next time, get the flu vaccine so that you're less likely to get the flu!

The 30th annual Miracle Makers fundraising special aired on KOMO 4 TV on June 6, 2014. The special takes us on a journey through the hopes, fears, victories and challenges facing patients at Seattle Children's. Cosponsored by Costco Wholesale and KOMO 4.
In the spirit of the holidays, patients, parents and doctors share inspirational stories of healing and hope. From surviving heart failure and a near-death drowning to battling a flesh-eating disease, witness how the impossible became possible thanks to the care patients received at Seattle Children's Hospital.
Miracle Season, hosted by Steve Pool and Molly Shen, aired Dec. 8, 2013, on KOMO 4 TV. The annual holiday special celebrates the remarkable lives of Seattle Children's patients.
