Wonderful opportunity to hear from an inspiring activist around an important issue!
Christina Rivers left a positive review 2/27/2014
The workshop was very helpful, as are the materials posted on line. However, its title was a bit misleading, as the session focussed more on prevention than response.
I also think it would have helped to have a member of the Univ. Integrity Board as a presenter. We were fortunate to have a former member in the group, but would have been nice to have more structured inclusion of a board member.
It also might help to have breakouts or discussion of the big differences between disciplines.
But again, overall, it was quite helpful, between "great" and "meh".

T+L takes a ride around bike-friendly Copenhagen, and asks 10 stylish cyclists what gets them in gear.
Tilde Wolffbrandt, TV Producer
Copenhagen's Street Fashion
Tilde Wolffbrandt, TV Producer
"Independence and flexibility come with using a bike. It's always easy to meet my husband, wherever we may be. One of my favorite places to visit is the Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket, a museum with a beautiful winter garden. It's best on Sundays, when admission is free. Right now I'm headed to the shop Sneaky Fox, in the Latin Quarter; it's famous for colorful hosiery."
In Denmark's environmentally minded capital, the bicycle is king. A system of free rentals and dedicated lanes has more than a third of Copenhagen's residents commuting daily on two wheels—all part of the city's goal to reduce carbon emissions and become the world's eco-capital by 2015. New York City's Department of Transportation recently tapped Jan Gehl—the Danish architect who paved Copenhagen's bike-centric way (and has advised London, Melbourne, and Dubai on how to "copenhagenize")—to help with its own 1,800-mile master plan, set for completion in 2030. This fall, we took in the scene at Højbro Plads, a 19th-century marketplace turned cosmopolitan crossroads at the center of Strøget, which became the city's first car-free zone in 1962. Lycra-clad, muscle-bound cyclists they are not—these are ordinary (if extraordinarily beautiful) people riding in suits, skirts, even high heels; some on trendy three-wheelers with baby pods, others steering classic upright Pedersen domestic models with polished wooden fenders and sprung-leather seats. We asked some of them to stop and tell us where they were going, what not to miss, and what it is that makes their city so appealing.

The data obtained from the purification of various cell and tissue samples demonstrated that high yields of quality DNA are easily extracted with the KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit.
DNA purified from mouse ear, liver, and kidney samples produced a high yield of DNA, as shown in Figure 1. This is demonstrative of the ability to provide quality starting material for applications, such as the genotyping of mice, where ear and tail are typically used. DNA yields obtained depend on both the lysis time and volume of tissue; 10 mg and 15 mg of mouse kidney samples were lysed for 1 hour, 4.5 hours, and overnight, the results of which are shown in Figure 2.
However, even after only 1 hour of lysis, the DNA obtained was of an excellent yield and ratio, making it ideal for use in downstream applications. In addition, lysis of the ear, liver, and kidney samples in the KingFisher Flex for 15 minutes was effective, producing an adequate yield for subsequent PCR reactions (data not shown).
The effects of the amount of sample material were compared with the purification of DNA from a different quantity of HeLa-S3 cells. The results indicate that there is a direct correlation between the yield of purified DNA samples and the number of cells in the sample, as shown in Figure 3. Even with the smallest amount of approximately 15,000 cells, the purification process was efficient and the subsequent PCR was successful.
Efficient and fast DNA purification is an essential starting point to a broad array of drug discovery applications. As such, it is essential that researchers have a reliable method of obtaining high yields of pure DNA. The KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit, in combination with the KingFisher Flex offers a high-throughput workflow solution.
Since different sample materials require a range of lysis times, the entire purification process can be effectively optimized to take into account the volume and type of material being used. As a result, optimal yields are produced from each purification for use in downstream applications. Additionally, with some materials, the hands-on time can be minimized and throughput maximized by performing the lysis directly in the KingFisher instrument.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Creators | Stan Lee has announced his visit to Fan Expo Canada in September will mark his final appearance in that country. "It's so pleasant to go somewhere where people like you and want to hear what you have to say," he said. "It's very flattering. But I'm 93 years old. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do it. I want to make this one big event." When it was pointed out that Lee doesn't look as if he's slowing down, the legendary creator replied, "Well, I can't run the marathon and win the way I used to." Lee made his final convention appearance in Europe in 2014. [Toronto]
Orlando's MegaCon has been sold to Informa PLC, the multinational media company that owns Fan Expo Canada organizer Hobby Star Marketing and Dallas Comic Con.
Beth Widera, who's owned the 22-year-old Florida convention since purchasing it in 2003 from CrossGen, confirmed the sale to the Orlando Sentinel. She will remain as executive director. Continue Reading »
Less than a year after unveiling seven collector coins celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Man of Steel, this morning at Fan Expo in Toronto the Royal Canadian mint introduced four more, featuring iconic Superman comic book covers.
The superhero's milestone anniversary and Toronto roots were also celebrated last year with a set of stamps from Canada Posts. Although Superman was created in 1933 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they were teenagers living in Cleveland, Shuster was actually born in Toronto, and lived there until age 9 or 10. He worked as a newspaper boy for the Toronto Daily Star, whose building served as a model for the Daily Planet (originally called the Daily Star).
Informa, the multinational media company that last summer bought Fan Expo Canada organizer Hobby Star Marketing, has purchased Dallas Comic Con and the related Sci-Fi Expo and Fan Days. Founder Ben Stevens will remain as director.
A statement on the convention website states, "this partnership will help these shows realize their true potential with new access to extensive resources and expertise."
Launched in October 2002 by C2 Ventures, the company owned by Stevens and Philip Wise, Dallas Comic Con has grown from 5,000 attendees to about 20,0000, leading to a relocation in May from the Irving Convention Center to the Dallas Convention Center. Stevens and Wise continue to own C2.
The winners of the ninth annual Joe Shuster Awards were announced Saturday in Toronto during a ceremony held in conjunction with Fan Expo Canada. The awards are named in honor of Toronto-born artist Joe Shuster, co-creator Superman. The full list of nominees can be found here. The winners are:
Isabelle Arsenault: Jane, le renard & moi (La Pastèque)/Jane, The Fox and Me (Groundwood Books)
Jeff Lemire: Sweet Tooth #29-40 (DC Comics), The Underwater Welder (Top Shelf)
Cover artist
Mike Del Mundo: A+X #2B, Amazing Spider-Man #678-679, 683B, Incredible Hulk #4B, Ka by Cirque de Soleil #1, Marvel Zombies Destroy! #1-5, Max Payne 3 #3, New Avengers #24B, Scarlet Spider #1B, 4B, Uncanny X-Men #17, Untold Tales of Punisher Max #5, Venom #16-17, 20, 22B, Wolverine #314-317, X-Men Legacy #1-2 (Marvel)
With the official debut today at Fan Expo Canada, Canada Post has revealed the designs for all five stamps in the series celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman and the hero's Toronto roots (co-creator Joe Shuster was born in the city, and the Toronto Daily Star building served as the model for the Daily Planet).
The stamps depict the Man of Steel in five eras, by five different artists: Superman #1 (1939), by Shuster; Superman #32 (1945), by Wayne Boring; Superman #233 (1971), by Neal Adams; Superman #204 (2004), by Jim Lee; and Superman Annual #1 (2012), by Kenneth Rocafort. They're sold in sheets of 10, with the booklet covers featuring art by Shuster, Lee, Rocafort and Dick Giordano.
Although the stamps won't be available until Sept. 10, people with Canadian addresses can pre=order them now on the Canada Post website.
Although many eyes this weekend will be on Fan Expo Canada, where DC Comics will reveal more details about the newly announced Justice League Canada, about 1,300 miles south Tampa Bay Comic Con is quickly emerging as an event to watch.
As the Tampa Bay Times notes, the fledgling convention has grown from about 550 attendees in 2010 to, based on advanced ticket sales, more than 20,000 for this year's edition, which kicks off in an hour at the Tampa Convention Center.
The rapid growth is attributed largely to the increasing number of television and movie stars — actors from The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones headline this weekend — but Tampa Bay Comic Con hasn't forsaken comic books. Guests of honor George Perez and Frank Brunner will be joined by the likes of Pat Broderick, Greg Horn, Joelle Jones, Mike McKone, Jimmy Palmiotti and Mike Perkins.
Tampa Bay Comic Con continues through Sunday.
Canada Post will debut a series of stamps Friday at Fan Expo Canada celebrating the Toronto roots of the Man of Steel.
While Superman was created in 1933 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they were teenagers living in Cleveland — a fact commemorated with placards, an airport display and vanity plates — Shuster was actually born in Toronto, and lived there until age 9 or 10. He worked as a newspaper boy for the Toronto Daily Star, whose building served as a model for the Daily Planet (originally called the Daily Star).
"The thing about Superman is that he is like the ultimate hyphenated citizen. He is a Canadian-American-Kryptonian superhero," the Toronto Star quotes Canada Post spokeswoman Keisha McIntosh-Siung as saying. "He's really a timeless hero."
The limited-edition series of five stamps, which goes on sale Sept. 10, celebrates the 75th anniversary of Superman's debut in Action Comics #1. Each stamp features artwork from different eras.
Welcome to "Cheat Sheet," ROBOT 6′s guide to the week ahead. It seems like we only just finished Comic-Con International, and now we're heading into another major event: Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, the third-largest pop-culture convention in North America. But that doesn't begin until Thursday, giving everyone plenty of time to squeeze in a trip to the local comic book store.
To see what ROBOT 6's contributors have at the top of their Wednesday shopping lists, keep reading.
Spinning out of his recent appearances in Amazing Spider-Man, Morbius the Living Vampire will once again sink his teeth into an ongoing series. Starting in January, the character who first antagonized Spider-man in Amazing Spider-Man #101 by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane will appear in a new comic by Hell Yeah writer Joe Keatinge and Journey into Mystery artist Richard Elson.
The new series starts in January and was announced at the Amazing Spider-Man panel today during Fan Expo Canada.
"What Dan Slott and company has been doing with Morbius lately has injected a new life into the character and I was already adoring it," Keatinge told Newsarama. "Dan really, really gets what motivates a character in the Marvel Universe, especially in the Spider-Man corner. In said corner, they're largely all tragic characters trying to do better. In the case of Peter Parker, the result is usually for the greater good. In Morbius' case, everything just keeps going to Hell. As a writer, there's a lot to work with."
Although he started as a villain, Morbius was always more of a flawed character who got a raw deal vs. being an actual bad guy. A biochemest with a rare blood disease, Morbius ended up giving himself vampire-like powers and bloodthirstiness when he tried to cure himself. When he wasn't fighting Spider-Man, you could find him teaming up with the Legion of Monsters or even starring in his own series as a part of the 1990s "Rise of the Midnight Sons" crossover event.
FanExpo Canada wraps up today in Toronto, and both Marvel and DC were there this weekend announcing various projects:
Although usually not active on the weekend, DC's The Source blog had two tidbits today coming out of Fan Expo Canada.
The first has to do with the return of the Justice Society. According to DC's The Source blog:
There's been plenty of speculation about the Justice Society in The New 52 – and we can now confirm that they will, in fact, be back! As with everything else with DC Comics – The New 52, however, there's a significant twist. What is it? We're not saying. Just. Quite. Yet.
"It's everything you want, but not what you expect," promises Eddie Berganza, DC Comics Executive Editor.
As Brian Cronin pointed out, word from the convention is that James Robinson and Nicola Scott are working on the series which will be set during an as-yet unspecified time period – on Earth-2.
Speaking of Robinson, the Source also announced Jill Thompson as the artist on Shade #8. The standalone issue — set in Paris in the early 1900s — is something Robinson wrote specifically for Thompson, reminiscent of the standalone stories Robinson would write when he was doing Starman. Shade #8 comes out next May.
Marvel is heading north to Fan Expo Canada Aug. 25-28, and they're bringing an exclusive Dale Eaglesham-drawn variant cover for Captain America #1. Cap, however, is nowhere to be seen; instead Wolverine and Alpha Flight sport Cap-like shields for the hometown crowd. The "variant" shields worn by Puck and Guardian are really nice touches.
Politics | Warren Ellis joins the list of creators who want nothing to do with Heavy Ink after Travis Corcoran's inflammatory remarks. At The Daily Cartoonist, Ted Rall pushes back on the outrage, saying, "If I only bought from companies and individuals whose political beliefs I agreed with, I wouldn't be buying much." [Warren Ellis, The Daily Cartoonist]
Conventions | Now there's even more of Fan Expo Canada to love: The self-proclaimed "largest combined gaming, horror, comic, science fiction and anime event in the country" is expanding from three to four days, Aug. 25-28, 2011. [Convention Scene]
Manga | A Chinese artist named Xiao Bai is this year's winner of the Japanese government's International Manga Award. The prizewinning entry, Si loin et si proche (So near and so far), was published in Belgium last year. [Monsters and Critics]
At last weekend's Fan Expo Canada, cartoonist James Turner (Nil, Rex Libris) debuted several color posters spinning out of his graphic novel Warlord of Io from SLG Publishing.
He calls the above poster "Tiki Mek"! Expect Turner to have a larger print run available on his website in the coming months. He's also working on posters featuring his characters from Nil and Rex Libris.
Also, James is letting us run two exclusive short comics he's done. Read on, faithful readers …

In Patton's Footsteps
This tour was fantastic! There were 12 of us and during our two weeks together we all got to be close friends. We saw all the places, from Normandy through Belgium to Germany, and got an excellent look at all the places where history was made. Kevin is very knowledgeable and did a great job shepherding us from village to museum. Because we had a WW II vet on board, we were able to see and experience many moving moments. We highly recommend this tour.
General George S. Patton believed in fulfilling the unforgivable minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run. He proved it in his race across France, his relief of the besieged town of Bastogne and his drive into Germany. On the In Patton's Footsteps Tour, a fascinating WWII Tour, we visit the sites and battlefields significant to Patton's Third Army, including Normandy, Brittany, Mont-St-Michel, the battlegrounds of Falaise Pocket, Bastogne and Mainheim, Luxembourg, to understand how this maverick general helped win the war in Europe.
Our historian for this tour is Kevin M. Hymel. Mr. Hymel is the Research Director for WWII History and Military Heritage magazines and has written numerous articles for each. He is the author of Patton's Photographs: War as He Saw It and has served as a historian at the U.S. Army Combat Studies Institute at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. Kevin has been a popular historian with Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours for more than 10 years, and has appeared in numerous documentaries on the History Channel and American Heroes Channel. He received his Bachelor's Degree from LaSalle University and Master's Degree from Villanova University, both in History.
- Brittany - Study the areas in Brittany where Patton's Third Army staged their breakthrough and smashed an SS armored column
- Mont-St-Michel - Visit the historic seaside medieval monastery at Mont-St-Michel that is completely surrounded by water at high tides
- Battlegrounds of Falaise Pocket - See the museum and battlegrounds of Falaise Pocket where American, Polish and Canadian troops fought to prevent the German retreat
- Bastogne - Tour Bastogne and the area where Patton came to the relief of the encircled 101'st Airborne and the famous "Nuts" Museum where General McAuliffe refused to surrender
- Manheim, Luxembourg - Drive to Mannheim to the very corner where Patton's eventually fatal accident occurred as well as the American Cemetery in Luxembourg where he is buried
Day-By-Day Itinerary
DAY 1 Overnight flight to Paris
Please contact our office for help coordinating flights.
DAY 2 Normandy
Arrive at Charles De Gaulle airport in the morning, meet Historian Kevin Hymel by 10 a.m. in airport hotel lobby, and drive to our hotel in Normandy. Dinner reception.
DAY 3 Normandy
We will spend the morning at Omaha Beach where the Americans took the German fortifications after a fierce fight. Losses were especially high in the first wave of landings. Today the American Cemetery stretches along the bluff. We will study the battlefield, traverse the beach, analyze the maps and imagine the courage that saved our freedom that day. We also will pay our respects (at the thousands of crosses and Stars of David) to the deceased. Pointe-du-Hoc is a sheer cliff some forty meters high where the elite Ranger Force scaled the German breastworks on D-Day. We will spend part of the afternoon there, trying to fathom how they did it.
DAY 4 Brittany
Our day will begin at Pattons Headquarters in Nehou where the general waited for the Third Army to become operational. From there we will drive to Coutances. From there, we will visit Avranches, where Patton first took command. We will stop at a statue to Patton where the Third Army broke into the Brittany Peninsula and headed east, west and south through the German lines. Finally, we will see the Pontaubault Bridge where Patton's troops poured into the Brittany peninsula.
DAY 5 Mayenne, Mont St Michel
We will visit Mont St. Michel, the medieval monastery where Patton visited during his honeymoon. It is a must for any visit to France. We continue to Mortain, the mountaintop town where the Germans attacked the 30th Infantry Division in an effort to cut off Patton's base of supplies. Although surrounded, the Americans held out for seven days until relief arrived. The mountaintop affords an excellent view of the surrounding countryside.
DAY 6 Reims
In the morning we will visit Mayenne, where one of Patton's hard luck divisions turned itself around by seizing a vital bridge. Then we will travel to Argentan where elements of the Third Army turned north to close the Falaise Gap. At Chambois, we will view where American, Polish and Canadian troops fought to stop the retreating Germans. The museum in Chambois provides an excellent overview of the battle at the Falaise Gap.
DAY 7 Metz
We begin our day at Eisenhower's headquarters in Reims where German General Alfred Jodl signed the unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945 ending WWII in Europe. We will then go to Verdun, site of some of the greatest battles of World War I, where here, in 1944 Patton, Eisenhower and Omar Bradley met to figure out how to defeat the German stranglehold on Bastogne, where the surrounded 101st Airborne Division, and other Army units, fought for its life.
We will then visit Essen and Pannes, two of the towns where Patton led his tanks into the battle of St. Mihiel, one of the first major engagements by the U.S. Army in the First World War. Outside of Essen, we will see the location where Patton, a 32-year-old Lieutenant Colonel, met Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur during an effort by the Allies to cut off a German bulge in their lines. Here the two bravely stood together as German artillery approached them. In Pannes, Patton rode a tank into battle and personally helped chase the Germans out of the town. These actions in World War I foreshadowed the future proved the abilities of tanks in warfare.
DAY 8 Luxembourg
In September 1944, with little fuel, supplies and replacements, Patton found himself stalled outside Metz, a city surrounded by six steep granite hills that were heavily fortified by many conquerors over the centuries. No army had ever overcome its defenses. From there we will see where Patton's forces crossed the Moselle River and fought off a German counterattack. After study and discussion in the field, we will retire to L'Horizon hotel for lunch.
Later, we will tour Fort Hackenburg, part of the Maginot Line, France's defensive front in 1940 and fought over by Patton's troops in 1944. We will visit the Dragon's Teeth of the German Siegfried Line.
DAY 9 Luxembourg
When the Germans launched the Battle of the Bulge, Patton turned his Army north towards Bastogne where the 101st Airborne Division was holding the town. We will view the Patton statue in Ettelbruck and the Battle of the Bulge Museum in Diekirch.
We will eat lunch in Clervaux, where the Germans broke through the 28th Infantry Division. From there we will travel to Longvilly and Noville, where armor and airborne forces slowed and stopped the German drive to Bastogne. We will complete the day with a visit to Patton's headquarters during the Battle of the Bulge.
DAY 10 Luxembourg
From Luxembourg City, we will retrace Patton's relief of Bastogne. We will see the site of the final attack by Col. Creighton Abrams to relieve the 101st Airborne Division. After a stop at McAuliffe Square where you will learn the history of the Sherman tank on display, we will drive to Houffalize, where Patton's Third Army helped close the Bulge. The day will end with a visit to Patton's grave in Hamm.
DAY 11 Mannheim – The Last Days of Patton
We will drive to Trier, Germany, where Patton seized the city despite orders to the contrary not to. When Bradley told Patton he did not have enough forces to take the city, Patton radioed back, What do you want me to do, give it back? We will visit a Roman coliseum and the Porta Nigra, the black gate that dates back to the second century erected by the Romans in 180 AD.
After that we will drive to Mannheim and see the spot where a car accident paralyzed Patton and eventually cost him his life. We can review and reflect on our journey across Europe, and our travels in the footsteps of General Patton, at the Farewell Dinner on this last evening of the tour.
DAY 12 Flights Home
After breakfast, we say good-bye to our new friends; an airport transfer will be provided to the Frankfurt Airport in Germany (FRA).
Tour Dates
- June 13-24, 2017
Prices are per person based on double occupancy. For a single room add $595.

Imagine what would have happened back in February 2006 if New Jersey police and state prosecutors had portrayed accurately the case against former NHLer and Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet.
Imagine if they'd said, "Basically what we have here is an NHLer who's been funneling football and basketball bets from a handful of his hockey buddies (and, at least, one of their wives) to another buddy in Philadelphia. End of story."
Do you think anyone would have had a problem with the NHL suspending Tocchet for two years? No.
Instead, the local authorities gave the "undercover sting" a name, "Operation Slap Shot," and described it as a highly sophisticated betting ring.
Leaks from law enforcement sources to the media immediately alluded to ties to Philadelphia crime families. Ooh, the Cosa Nostra. Get Bobby De Niro on the phone, quick!
And, of course, there was the wife of the most famous hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, in the middle of all of this.
When the dust finally cleared on "Operation Slap Shot" -- and it finally did clear Thursday afternoon when NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced Tocchet would be eligible to return to the game Feb. 7, 2008 -- the only thing that really stuck from the original hype was the fact Tocchet did place some bets for Janet Jones Gretzky.
So, we can understand that Bettman sounded a bit churlish in describing the circumstances surrounding the original charges and Tocchet's ultimate reinstatement.
"I think it's unfortunate to say the least," Bettman said Thursday. "Probably an understatement."
The impression left by law enforcement at the time focused attention on the case and the game that never should have been there, Bettman said.
At the time, a league source familiar with the investigation told ESPN.com there was way more smoke than fire with the charges than turned out to be true. That's small consolation for the game, which took one in the teeth just as it was enjoying a surprising renaissance after the lockout and has had to live under the cloud of the investigation until this week.
"It was a cloud that shouldn't have been there for as long as it was," Bettman said. "The cloud should be fully dissipated once and for all as of this moment."
In the end, the New Jersey officials, for all their pronouncements and vague allusions and shadowy story lines, ended up with next to nothing on the criminal tote board. They sent the alleged ringleader, former state trooper James Harney, to jail for five years. He could be eligible for parole in a year. Another co-accused, James Ulmer, was sentenced to six months in jail, while Tocchet pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years' probation.
Uh, better cancel that call to Mr. De Niro. Here's cab fare home.
As for Bettman's decision to allow Tocchet to return to work, let's just say Tocchet will be getting a belated Christmas gift.
Bettman and former federal investigator Bob Cleary, who spoke to 100 people connected to Tocchet and the bookmaking scheme (if we can call it that), acknowledged that Tocchet didn't exactly adhere to the terms of his "leave." After being told not to have any contact with NHL or team officials, Tocchet, it turns out, breached that order about 40 times. Oops.
That's pretty understandable given that, outside of his criminal friends, Tocchet doesn't likely have too many friends that aren't in the NHL.
And then, there was the fact Tocchet didn't see anything wrong with continuing to gamble, legally, by showing up for the World Series of Poker.
Both faux pas factored into Tocchet being denied immediate reinstatement, something the Coyotes were hoping for.
"I think that they were hoping for immediate reinstatement. My guess is that they were disappointed," said Bettman, who met with Tocchet and his legal counsel before meeting with the media. "We had a lively discussion which is why we were a little late."
Coyotes GM Don Maloney also has met with the commissioner earlier this week to lobby for Tocchet's timely return.
A cynic might suggest Tocchet's penalty is too light, that the embarrassment caused by the NHL veteran deserves a lengthier term, at least until the end of this season, perhaps beyond. But let's have a little perspective.
According to Cleary's investigation, Tocchet's betting ring included fewer than10 NHL people (Cleary would not identify them). No bets were ever placed on hockey games. There was never any evidence of a wider betting ring or ties to organized crime. Tocchet has been without a source of income (if you don't count gambling proceeds, of course) since he went on "leave" almost two years ago.
Then, there are the restrictions Bettman has placed on Tocchet pending his return. He is forbidden from gambling at all. He must undergo tests through the NHL/NHL Players' Association substance abuse and behavioral health program to determine whether he is a compulsive gambler. If he is, he must get treatment for that problem. Tocchet must also refrain from activities that "reflect adversely" on the league or its teams or officials.
In short, he'd better fly right.
Given all that, two years sounds just about right.
"Anybody who doesn't think that two years away from the game isn't a severe punishment is not really evaluating the entire context of what has transpired," Bettman said.
The commissioner denied that Gretzky's desire to have Tocchet reinstated had anything to do with his decision.
The team's decision to bring Tocchet back into the fold does speak to two issues starting with Gretzky's incredible loyalty.
It was The Great One who hired Tocchet when Gretzky first took over as coach after the lockout. At the time, Gretzky praised Tocchet's edge and work ethic and there is no doubt the coaching staff in Phoenix has been left wanting in Tocchet's absence. Still, Tocchet's reckless disregard for the integrity of the game and his relationship with Gretzky (how did he ever think placing bets for Janet Gretzky was going to turn out to be a good thing?) likely should have meant the end of the relationship with Gretzky, on and off the ice. But that is not Gretzky's way.
"We respect the commissioner's decision and are relieved that this situation is behind us. We will welcome Rick Tocchet back on Feb. 7, 2008," Gretzky said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
Secondly, Tocchet's return reinforces that Gretzky remains a powerful figure in the hierarchy of the Phoenix Coyotes.
There was much discussion last summer when GM Mike Barnett, senior executive vice president hockey operations Cliff Fletcher and head PR man Rich Nairn, all close to Gretzky, were fired. New CEO Jeff Shumway made it clear during the offseason that things were going to change around the Coyotes, that the team wasn't going to be landing pad for Gretzky's friends.
Or not.
Bringing Tocchet back into the fold, whether he deserves to be or not, leaves little question that The Great One still calls the shots in the desert.

Sorbonne Confidential... illustrates how objective measures can be far from objective a concept often difficult to see when looking only at one s own context. It illustrates how rigor by itself can distract, exclude, and alienate. By taking on an institution that began before the American Revolution, the book demonstrates how systems can develop around programs, allowing them to self-perpetuate without regard for their impact on schools and society. At some level, the book is also an argument for the power and importance of teacher education and of the need for systems that care more about creating good teachers than objectively assigning scores. --Education Review

Exercise during the first couple of months after delivery will help you feel more emotionally stable and reduce hot flashes and night sweats that frequently occur until your ovarian function returns to normal. It will also help get you back to exercising on a regular basis. Studies show that the longer the new mother puts off exercising, the less likely she will exercise at all.
Most women do not want to leave their babies during this honeymoon phase. For that reason, exercising with your baby is an ideal solution. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking is best because it stimulates bone density, which has been shown to decrease about 5 percent over the initial 3 months after delivery from a drop in hormone levels.
Exercise classes designed especially for moms and babies are an excellent way to get the needed exercise and, just as important, network with other new moms. Sometimes finding time to attend a class is difficult, but it is worth the effort. The key is to plan ahead and get everything ready the night before. Preparing the diaper bag ahead of time, including a water bottle for yourself, will help reduce the mad rush out the door. It also becomes a motivator for actually going to the class. After all, if everything is ready, you have no excuses.
Walking is a perfect exercise for the new mom, and getting out in the fresh air also benefits baby. You can either walk with your baby in a front infant carrier or use a stroller. If you choose to use a stroller, be sure that the handles are tall enough to allow your elbows to be bent at a 90-degree angle. As with any exercise, be sure to stay in good posture and stretch after each walk to keep your muscles healthy.
Another good weight-bearing exercise is dancing with your baby. Not only will you feel better, the movement and music may stimulate infant development and, if nothing else, put the baby to sleep. Just turn on the music, put your baby in a front infant carrier for safety, and have a ball! Incorporate stretching into your dance routine as well.
Shaping up after delivery is an ongoing process. It usually takes a new mom 6 months to a year to return to prepregnancy proportions. You will reap many benefits by starting to exercise early in the postpartum phase and continuing on a regular basis. Eventually, regular, sustained exercise will help you return to your prepregnancy weight, improve abdominal muscle tone, and enhance your overall body image.
Question: What works best for losing weight? Dieting or exercise?
Answer: The combination of exercise and diet is best. Researchers have found that short-term weight loss (about 1 kilogram, or 2 pounds, a week) through a combination of diet and exercise appears to be the best way to lose weight after delivery. Weight loss achieved primarily through dieting without exercise reduces maternal lean body mass, lowering metabolism and making it even harder to shed those unwanted pounds. The slower you lose the weight, the more chance you have for keeping it off for good!
Continue to perform at least 20 Kegel exercises at least twice a day every day. Try to walk 20 to 30 minutes a day and gradually work up to 45 minutes at a good pace at which you can talk, but you can't sing. You might want to split your aerobic workouts by walking your baby twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes each time.
In addition, work on strengthening your core muscles because abdominal muscles were stretched and chances are they need to be toned. Here are some key exercises to practice along with instructions for breathing while you practice core exercises. The core exercises are designed to both strengthen and stretch the muscles of the core. The core exercises are listed in the order of intensity. Start with the first exercise and slowly progress according to your individual comfort and tolerance level.

A clear dependence of the hole mobility on molecular weight of poly(3-hexylthiophene) in films is demonstrated. The charge carrier mobility of regioregular polythiophene is shown to increase by four orders of magnitude as the molecular weight is increased from ∼3 200 g mol–1 to 36 000 g mol–1. These observations could explain why the mobility values obtained in different labs vary so widely and suggest that optimizing the molecular weight of conjugated polymers could lead to significant improvements in device performance.

A holographic lithography technique is used to fabricate large 2D Penrose quasi-crystals (see Figure, scale bar: 5 μm). The method combines holography and photo-induced polymerization techniques and is applied for the first time to fabricate quasi-crystals. This method is very versatile and relatively inexpensive in fabricating various mesoscale to nanostructures.

Reduction of the dielectric constant k to the ultra low-k range is important for the continuing miniaturization of semiconductor devices. It is demonstrated that γ-cyclodextrin can act as an effective porogen (see Figure) to reduce k while maintaining good film strength. A continuous thin pure-silica zeolite MFI film with k = 1.8 and elastic modulus of 14 GPa is reported, prepared by spin-on from a zeolite nanoparticle suspension.

Porous alumina arrays with various Moiré patterns (see Figure) are prepared by two-step nanoindentation with different rotation angles and subsequent anodization. The patterns on the porous alumina array are in good agreement with the theory of Moiré patterns in terms of the rotation angles. In addition, replicas of photoresist polymer with the Moiré pattern are successfully prepared.

Dendrimer architectures are used as spacing-templates to fabricate single molecule nanoarrays. It is shown that this new method (see Figure for illustration) fabricates a nanoarray of single thioctic acids separated by a distance related to the dendron size on Au. This approach could be used for assembling single functional molecules for nanotechnology in areas such as molecular electronics.

Vanadium oxide hydrate has been used in a new, robust, and inexpensive shape-templating synthesis leading to silica nanotubes (SiO2-NTs, see Figure) with good chemical purity, a well-defined morphology, and high aspect ratio. Unidimensional nanosized cavities or channels are made accessible through the open ends of the SiO2-NTs, which can be functionalized, thus generating particles with magnetic, catalytic, or uptake/release behavior.

Microstereolithography has been used to fabricate functional, three-dimensional, molecularly imprinted microstructures (e.g., see Figure) with recognition for adenine and its derivatives. The range of target analytes that are responsive to this molecular imprinting technique is large. This and related lithographic techniques will allow for the direct integration of functional polymers with molecular recognition into the microfabrication process.

Molecular gradients comprising two-dimensional in-plane variation of density of substrate-grafted molecules (see Figure, darker regions in the plot denote regions with higher substrate density) have been fabricated. This is achieved by utilizing the technology of "mechanically assembled monolayers" in conjunction with in-plane asymmetric stretching of elastomeric substrates uniformly-coated with organosilane precursors.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated using two europium complexes, differing only by the addition of tert-butyl groups around the β-diketonate ligands (see Figure), blended into poly(2-(6′-cyano-6′-methyl-heptyloxy)-1,4-phenylene) (CN-PPP). The addition of tert-butyl groups results in CN-PPP–Eu LEDs with increased operational lifetime and decreased operating voltage.

I have a feeling this should be a common requirement, but I can't work the proper way of doing it. I currently have a standard MVC3 site which is using Ninject to inject service classes (in singleton scope) from Project A into the constructor of the controllers - this is all working fine.
I have another class library - Project B - which requires classes from Project A. What I am wanting to do is inject the same singleton instance I use between in my MVC project within the Project B classes. Is this possible?
Currently in the global.asax, I have this for setting up the bindings.
private void SetupDependencyInjection()
// Create Ninject DI kernel
IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel();
// A load more binding go here...
// Tell ASP.NET MVC 3 to use our Ninject DI Container
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new NinjectResolver(kernel));
Within my controller, I have something like
public ExampleController(IRepositoryA iRepositoryA, more params....)
this.iRepositoryA= iRepositoryA;
var ProjectB.Class1 = new ProjectB.Class1(this.iRepositoryA);
// more setup of params here....
I have two classes in ProjectB which look like this
public class Class1
public Class1(IRepositoryA iRepositoryA, more params...)
var class2 = new Class2(iRepositoryA, more params...);
public class Class2
public Class2(IRepositoryA iRepositoryA, more params...)
// Something goes here....
What I am looking to do is instantiate a new instance of ProjectB.Class1 without having to pass iClass (plus potentially a load more) as a parameter. I believe I can expose IKernel from the global asax and then do something like iKernel.Get(). Is this the best way of doing this? The other problem I see is that the parameters injected into the controller may go down 3 or more levels, e.g. like example above, but contining further that just to Class2. Is it best in this instance to just keep passing the parameters down the chain?

I've been looking forward to the space horror game Routine for, quite literally, years now, but the most recent update suggests 2016 might be when the game finally arrives. The trailer for Routine still gives me chills! If we all watch it again, maybe development will finish faster.
You Think This Moody First-Person Trailer Won't Scare You. But It Will.
A First-Person Horror Game, in Space, Where You're Not Shooting (Much). Sign Me Up.
Just because you play a game in the first-person doesn't mean you have to spend the whole thing with a gun stuck out in front of you. More games should realise this. Like the upcoming Routine, which is billed as a "first person horror exploration game set on an abandoned Moon base".

lol, it's all a conspiracy
This is actually taking the voice of a man who's great at impersonations, and animating it with style.
The Chowder/SU art style brings you in to a nice, sort of cozy feel. The humor is dry, like we expect from Vinny, and we know will come up. The animation is smooth and charming, and the glitchiness inside the world, giving soft little glances at what is reality, and the cold humor animation that was Terminal 7 Gives us a laugh at acceptable randomness.
I rate this 4.5, as 5 could be counted as ass kissery, but I do recommend any VineFans who love Vinesauce to watch this is they haven't. And if you have, give it another look.

Of course the prior week was revised up so when this one's revised up again next week it will be even worse.
Is it possible that person by person people are starting to discover that the theories of a gov stimulating an economy are false, and even the fanatically faithful drop in ranks as each new round of "stimulus" reveals itself for the wealth transfer (theft) that it is. Then even the faithful begin to fear that at some point there really won't be enough wealth to transfer without it creating violent unrest.
It has always been false;however, the 'market' could always have hope that whenever bad news hit, the Fed would step in and provide some sort of stimulating effect. Just the mere talk would lead to a rally. The rallies were probably fueled more by financial equations (cashflow/interest rate), which would increase value of an asset, than by 'the Fed will actually stimulate the economy' mindset. Both the former and latter were based on expectations. Now, expectations have been removed and reality priced into the market at a point of fair value. This is akin to 'Buy the rumor Sell the fact'. Now, all that is left is the top part of the equation - how bad/good news affects cashflow.

We saw the bottom of 2012 unemployment rates at 14.5% (U6 numbers) and it's been on the rise for several months. The trend is UP, not down, despite the spin from potus and the media.
Look for yourself:
This metric has predictiveness...but it is a bit slower than as the 52 week NSA
initial claims number. It is good enough for me to keep it in my group of indicators to follow.I like NSA initial claims number because it real data not samples and by using the 52 week moving average the previous changes in data are included. Most importantly it is probably the best of the high frequency data.
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Hard to say. Apparently, it is hard to tell from the data. I wrote this elsewhere.

Gamestop boss: Wii cut may come to US, PS2 drop was too late
Gamestop CEO Dan DeMatteo has told CNBC that a Wii price cut may become inevitable in the US, thanks to dwindling demand.
"I think [demand for] the Wii could slow down to the extent that Nintendo may want to cut the price," he said.
"Nintendo has it within its arsenal to do that. The component costs have come down considerably. They used to break even on the Wii, but now they're making a considerable margin."
Clearly having his console price cut head on today, the exec said the Sony's recent PS2 price drop was too little, too late.
"To be honest, it really wasn't worth doing," he said.
"If they'd done it earlier, publishers probably would have kept making games for the PS2, but once they've stopped, they've stopped."

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - The purpose of this Sunday's liturgy is to get us to contemplate the person of Jesus Christ so that we can know him more deeply. Knowledge leads to love, and love to imitation. Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life, must be the center, the criteria and the model for our daily lives. This is what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
Had Jesus of Nazareth been a Roman or a Greek, certainly his contemporaries would have left behind statues in his honor. However, because the Jews had a strict understanding of idolatry, their interpretation of the Mosaic Law did not allow them to make any images whatsoever of any human person. It would have been interesting if we had been left something that would illustrate the physical attributes of the Lord.
Throughout the centuries, there has been much discussion on the subject. The Shroud of Turin and Veronica's veil tell us a lot about his Middle Eastern features; however, our faith is best served by depending on the one authenticated source, the Gospels.
The accounts written by the Evangelists depict Our Lord's great capacity for physical activity. The long hours spent at hard work in the carpenter shop had prepared him well for the grueling task of his public ministry.
He walked many miles under the blazing Middle Eastern sun in order to preach the Kingdom of God. He slept many nights under the stars, and he spent much of that time in the bliss of silent prayer. He found little time to eat because of the multitudes seeking his healing touch, and yet when he did find time to rest, he slept so profoundly that not even a terrible storm could awaken him.
His body was strong and so was his soul. During the hours of tribulation in Gethsemane, he persevered in profound prayer while the apostles slept. When Joseph of Arimathea requested his body for burial, Pilate was surprised to discover that Jesus had died so quickly. Pilate knew that he had encountered a strong Galilean.
Jesus did not display his divinity in the manner of the mythical figures of Greek and Roman literature. He did not fly from place to place as though he were some sort of superman. Amazingly, in him the supernatural and the natural were interwoven. His divinity seemed so simple and normal.
No mysterious beams of light, flashes of lightning, or peals of thunder occurred as he performed his miracles. Instead, it was enough for him to touch, or be touched.
Only once did he show the magnificence of his divinity before a select group of apostles. Even then, during the Transfiguration, the experience was brief, simple, and discreet.
Aside from his physical attributes, Jesus knew exactly what he wanted. He was one with his mission. Everything that he did proceeded from his passionate desire to fulfill the will of the Father.
Unlike the complicated discourse of many philosophers and religious leaders, Our Lord's teaching is simple and easy enough for everyone to understand. However, the message is so clear and precise that his words are irresistible to all those who listen.
Who is this man that has divided history into two parts? Who is this man that has divided nations? Who is this man for whom many of his followers have given their lives rather than deny him? In this Sunday's gospel narrative Peter tells us who he is: "You are the Christ" (Mark 8: 29).
Tacitus (54-119 A.D.), Suetonius (75-160 A.D.) and Pliny the Younger (61-115 A.D.) of the ancient Roman Empire all give written historical testimony about the existence of Jesus. Jewish thinkers Philo (died after 40 A.D.) and more importantly Flavius Josephus (born 37 A.D.) also gives written historical testimony about Jesus and his work.
There is no historical doubt about the actual existence of Jesus of Nazareth.
But, Jesus asks the apostles "Who do people say that I am?" (Mark 8: 27).
When we consider all that Jesus said and did, we are faced with the dilemma that C.S. Lewis wrote about in his book Mere Christianity: either Jesus is a liar, a lunatic, or he is who he says that he is: the one true God.
Keep in mind that Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled 1,093 prophecies of the Old Testament.
What do we need to do in order to truly know Christ Jesus?
Above all, we must be open. Far too many people attempt to live Christianity based upon their own terms. They do not come to the Lord with open minds and hearts. Far too many remove pages from the Scriptures and reduce Christianity to their own comfort level.
When we are completely open, the Holy Spirit floods our souls with his loving and peaceful presence. He cannot enter locked doors and windows that he cannot open. God respects our freedom. Only the open can believe and see.
Knowledge automatically brings us to love. We only love that which we know. Our love for the Lord must be authentic and real. Hypocrisy repulsed the Lord. "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?" (James 2: 14).
Love brings about transformation. The goal of discipleship is to die to self so that the Lord may live within us. "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me" (Mark 8: 34).
The narrow road of the Gospel is difficult to live. Nevertheless, it is the only road that leads to eternal life in heaven.
In this Sunday's gospel narrative we discover the drastic invitation of Jesus. "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me" (Mark 8: 34). The cross, our personal cross or crosses which cannot be transferred to anyone else is an essential aspect to our walk with the Lord Jesus.
Jesus and the two thieves were not the only people ever crucified by the Roman Empire. Crucifixion was the form of capital punishment used for those people living under Roman jurisdiction who were not actually Roman citizens. Beheading was the punishment for Roman citizens, crucifixion for non-Roman citizens.
Just think how horrible crucifixion must have been if the Romans spared their own citizens such a terrible death. So painful was death by crucifixion that the Romans eventually did away with it as a form of capital punishment.
Too many of our contemporaries seek an easy life without suffering, without sacrifice, without renunciation, without mortification. Many people would like to stand under the cross of Jesus and cry out as did the jeering crowd on the first Good Friday, "Come down from the cross."
However, there is only one Jesus, and he is the crucified Jesus who rose from the dead. Christianity without the cross is not Christianity; only through the cross of Jesus have we gained salvation.
So, when we suffer, we should not consider our suffering a burden; rather we must look upon the cross we bear as an immense gift from God.
Mother Theresa once said: "Suffering is a sign that we have come so close to Jesus on the cross that he can kiss us and that he can show that he is in love with us by giving us an opportunity to share in his passion".
Undoubtedly there are many forms of suffering that are quite mysterious. Moreover, the need to carry our cross as an essential dimension of Christianity does not take away the need and the duty to seek cures for illnesses and to make this life a better life for everyone. Although human progress continues to make this earth a better place for everyone, suffering, in one form or another, will always be a part of our existence. The meaning of suffering does make sense when we contemplate Jesus Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
When we ask the question why, we need to look upon the crucifix. It is only there that we will find the meaning of suffering and the exact reason why we must carry our own cross.
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it" (Mark 8: 34-35).

Running the code below (compiled with -lpthread) on a multicore system (Ubuntu 11.04 x86-32), which simply spawns a SCHED_FIFO thread and goes to sleep, displays some strange behavior. If you press a key it echoes it out just fine. However, if you hold down a key the process will hang and you will need to hard reboot (soft reboot hangs as does kill -9). Doing the same via a telnet session works just fine.
#include <sched.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
void* schedtest_busy_wait_thread_entry(void *arg)
struct sched_param sp;
sp.__sched_priority = sched_get_priority_min(SCHED_FIFO);
assert(sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &sp) == 0);
while (1);
return NULL;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
pthread_t thread_id;
assert(pthread_create(&thread_id, NULL, schedtest_busy_wait_thread_entry, NULL) == 0);
while (1) sleep(1);
return 0;
Obviously this is just an excerpt of a much larger and more complex system that requires a busy waiting SCHED_FIFO thread (with hard coded affinity) but displays this same behavior. /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us is at the default 950000.
Any pointers?

Although the Obama administration has made much of the fact that U.S. forces are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, it clearly has no intention of leaving that war-ravaged country to its own devices. In fact, plans are afoot to keep as many as 25,000 American troops in Afghanistan for at least a decade longer than the official deadline, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt., left) has declared that the United States should cut off aid to Israel on the grounds of "human rights violations." As head of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on foreign operations, Leahy is promoting a bill that would suspend U.S. assistance to three units in the Israeli Defense Forces, asserting that they are involved in human rights abuses in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.
A new U.S. military report — which will give additional credence to those advocating an end to foreign aid and interventionism — reveals that America has been funding her enemies to the tune of $360 million. After a careful examination of combat support and reconstruction contracts, researchers determined that the U.S. tax dollars had ended up with the Taliban and other enemies whom the United States has been fighting for the past decade.
As the GOP 2012 presidential campaign evolves, foreign policy issues will become more and more relevant, particularly as pro-Israel candidates debate Palestine's venture for membership into the United Nations. Although domestic issues will continue to play a central role in the debate — largely due to the economy's prolonged comatose state — Palestinian leaders' request for U.N. membership serves a new recipe for the GOP campaign plate.

Comments about Dr. Brown's Nose & Face Wipes, Naturally Soothing with Calendula, 30 ea:
I decided to try these wipes as a makeup remover since mine were running out. They were on sale and since they are for sensitive skin I thought they might be useful. Unfortunately they are too thin and tear easily. The wipes have a strange odor and I will not be repurchasing them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

58. Picture of Esophagus
The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the throat (pharynx) with the stomach. The esophagus is about 8 inches long, and is lined by moist pink tissue called mucosa. The esophagus runs behind the windpipe (trachea) and heart, and in front of the spine. Just before entering the stomach, the esophagus passes through the diaphragm.
The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is a bundle of muscles at the top of the esophagus. The muscles of the UES are under conscious control, used when breathing, eating, belching, and vomiting. They keep food and secretions from going down the windpipe.
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a bundle of muscles at the low end of the esophagus, where it meets the stomach. When the LES is closed, it prevents acid and stomach contents from traveling backwards from the stomach. The LES muscles are not under voluntary control.
