Vegas, baby. This summer's NHL awards show will be held in Las Vegas. I don't have a vote, but if I did, here's who I would vote for.
Jack Adams Award: Claude Julien
The Bruins went from eighth to first in the East without really adding any significant players. Julien managed everything well, from the goaltending to the forwards. He incorporated young players into the lineup and they all excelled. He actually reminds me of Ray Bourque behind the bench. He is sturdy, in control and understands defense wins championships. That's a good aura for the playoffs.
Honorable mention: Brent Sutter (New Jersey Devils), Bruce Boudreau (Washington Capitals), Paul Maurice (Carolina Hurricanes), Todd McLellan (San Jose Sharks), Joel "Q-Stache" Quenneville (Chicago Blackhawks), Ken Hitchcock (Columbus Blue Jackets), Barry Trotz (Nashville Predators).
Selke Trophy: Ryan Kesler
Kesler has everything you want in a strong defensive player. He has good size (6-foot-2, 205 pounds) and is an excellent skater. He is one of those players who seems way bigger than 6-2. I think this comes from his strong skating and excellent anticipation. Kesler reminds me of Montreal GM/coach Bob Gainey when he was a player for Montreal. Gainey was almost the identical height and weight and, like Kesler, looked enormous on the ice. Add his 25 goals and Kesler is the ideal No. 2 center. A four- or five-year extension at $3.5-4 million per year is about right for him.
Honorable mention: Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeni Malkin, Mikko Koivu, Joe Pavelski, Mike Richards, Manny Malhotra, Patrick Marleau.
Calder Trophy: Steve Mason
I put Mason on my Columbus Blue Jackets/Mt. Rushmore list because I said he will help lead the team to its first postseason appearance in franchise history. Well, it looks like he will. It's hard to argue against 10 shutouts and a 2.22 goals-against average. It has been another banner year for rookies in the NHL.
Honorable mention: Pekka Rinne, Bobby Ryan, Kris Versteeg, Patrik Berglund, T.J. Oshie, Blake Wheeler, Steven Stamkos, Drew Doughty.
Vezina Trophy: Tim Thomas
This is a remarkable story. Storybook stuff. The league leader in save percentage and GAA and the NHL's biggest competitor in net. I love stories like Thomas' because, in this age of multimillion-dollar contracts, Thomas is one of us. Because of his journey, he is human. He didn't appear in his first NHL game until he was 28 and didn't become a regular until he was 32. He played in the AHL, IHL, ECHL, Sweden and Finland. He would put his Adam's apple in front of a Sheldon Souray slap shot to win a game and would stop by the side of the Mass Pike to help you with your flat tire. He is the heart and soul of the Bruins and probably should be an MVP candidate, as well.
Honorable mention: Steve Mason, Pekka Rinne, Cam Ward, Miikka Kiprusoff, Roberto Luongo.
Norris Trophy: Zdeno Chara
This was a difficult one, especially considering the Bruins would get their third major award. But the Bruins have a chance at 120 points. The fan base has been resurrected. Radio call-in shows in Boston actually talk hockey. The Bruins have a variety of characters and players its fans can latch on to: Milan Lucic, Thomas, Marc Savard, Phil Kessel, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron. But Chara is the backbone of this resurgence. His size, leadership and attitude set the wheels in motion. He plays 26 minutes a night, is a devastating fighter, has a slap-shot presence on the power play and will even go to the front of a net to be a big-body, top-of-the-crease player. He has 165 hits and 117 blocked shots. Chara is playing as well as Chris Pronger did in his prime. A physical force that gets a little leeway from referees because of the letter on his chest and the ferocity of his game.
Honorable mention: Mike Green, Nicklas Lidstrom, Dan Boyle, Mark Streit, Shea Weber, Dennis Wideman.
Hart Trophy: Evgeni Malkin
This was an incredibly difficult decision, and I probably arrived at it from various roads. Part of it is poetry. I thought Malkin was the most visually pleasing player to watch this season. This is, of course, a subjective thing. I like watching the angular and smart-play sports. Malkin has a tremendous feel and IQ for the game. He knows where the game is going before most. Add his incredible skating and long reach, and you have a player who brings so much to the ice. He is a center who makes plays on every square inch of the ice. He is an excellent defensive player who stick-checks at a Pavel Datsyuk level. He blocks shots, battles around the net in a physical way and really cares every game. And he shows up. This will likely be the second straight season in which Malkin has not missed a game.
Malkin and Ovechkin have completely changed the definition of a Russian player. You can still get on Ilya Kovalchuk (Ovechkin outhits him 239-41! Malkin has more blocked shots than the Thrashers captain, 371-5), but you can't say any player in the NHL plays harder or is a better teammate than Malkin, Alex Ovechkin and Datsyuk. They are great role models for young Russian players, and Russia should prop them up accordingly. This award will be very close and Ovechkin could very well win it again, perhaps justifiably. But I like Malkin by a nose and I like how the Hart Trophy results look over the past three years: Sidney Crosby, Ovechkin and Malkin. That's the way it should be.
Honorable mention: Ovechkin, Green, Thomas, Zach Parise, Crosby, Datsyuk, Richards, Boyle, Marleau, Joe Thornton, Jarome Iginla.
Weekly Tribute to Jack Falla
All season long, we have provided an excerpt from Jack Falla's 2000 classic book "Home Ice." The gist of the book is Falla and his backyard rink. For those who have read it, the book is much more than that. The excerpts have proved to be wildly popular among most of you readers. The point was to honor a man who loved the soul of hockey and introduce Falla to those of you who had missed his presence in this column over the years.
The impetus for the excerpts was Falla's unexpected and tragic death in September 2008. For some reason, people don't associate the word "tragic" when describing the death of a man in his early 60s. I'm not sure why. For anyone who was a part of Falla's life, partially or wholly, will tell you they greatly and palpably miss him and his joy for living and writing. Having a person like Falla taken away from us is a tragedy. We have reached the end of "Home Ice." This is our final excerpt of the season:
As I look in our guestbook, I see that I have taken the final skate in three of the six seasons we've been keeping that record. Twice by myself. Once with Barbara. And all three times, I knew intuitively that it would be the final skate. And even when I wasn't the last skater off the ice in a given season, I still knew when I was taking my own last skate, and on those days, I stayed out longer and skated harder. Of course, I didn't skate any better, I just did what I've tried to do ever since I took those first shuffling strides with my mother -- skate as well as I can. Because life is different from a skating season, and in life, you never know which skate will be your last. Only that one of them will be.
Au revoir, Mr. Falla.
The Mother of All Mailbags
Instead of tiebreakers, how about a one-game playoff if two teams are tied for the eighth and final spot?
St. Louis
I've been advocating for an 8-9 play-in game for years now. One for each conference. A Monday doubleheader on national television the day after the regular season ends. Confetti, a KISS concert and balloons. Lots of balloons.
Hey Bucci,
Quick question. You mentioned draft choices for the upcoming draft. Since the season is almost over, I was hoping you can expand on that by offering draft scenarios for the bottom three teams and why they would draft the player you are thinking of.
Long Island, N.Y.
Quick lottery draft nuggets from the league:
• The first 14 picks of the NHL draft are determined by the annual lottery; this year, it will be held April 14.
• NHL teams cannot move up more than four positions in the draft order.
• Therefore, only the five NHL teams with the fewest regular-season points have the opportunity to select first overall.
• No team can move down more than one position as a result of the draft drawing.
Here are some results from the past six draft lotteries:
2003 -- Florida moved from fourth to first.
2004 -- Washington moved from third to first.
2005 -- Pittsburgh, the New York Rangers, Buffalo and Columbus had equal chance for first pick in a unique lottery following the lockout.
2006 -- St. Louis maintained first overall pick.
2007 -- Chicago moved from fifth to first.
2008 -- Tampa Bay maintained first overall pick.
With all of that mind, it looks like these five teams could have a chance at the first pick in June: New York Islanders, Colorado, Tampa Bay, Atlanta and Los Angeles. We will have to wait for the final couple of games to get teams four and five, for sure.
Islanders fans, it appears you will get either Canadian scoring ace John Tavares or mobile Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman. That is great news for you. The Isles are going to add a very good, young player to their organization in June. It is going to be very interesting to see how the Avalanche and Lightning play it the rest of the way. The team that finishes second to last has a 61 percent chance of picking second overall. The team with the third-worst record has just a 14 percent chance.
It will also be interesting to see how teams on the cusp of the fifth-worst record might position their lineups in order to get into the bottom five to have that chance at the first pick. As we have seen in the past five conventional NHL draft lotteries, the team with the worst regular-season record has picked No. 1 overall just twice and teams have moved up from third, fourth and fifth.
Hedman and Tavares are the 1-2 picks, although Matt Duchene is a very gifted center with great hands and speed. There are still very good prospects after the top three and the bottom five teams should get very good players that will add organizational depth to their franchises. Hopefully, it is in the top-six forward or top-two defensemen variety.
It looks like the Islanders, Lightning and Avalanche will be the bottom three and have the best chance at the first overall pick. In all three of those cases, I would take Hedman with the first overall pick. Unless the Lightning trade Vincent Lecavalier and/or Martin St. Louis before the draft, Hedman is a better fit than another offensive forward. The Avalanche are also in desperate need of a defensive upgrade from the goalie out, but with Joe Sakic near retirement, Tavares or Duchene would be a good fit. Same with the Islanders.
What will Montreal do with all their free agents?
Big Rapids, Mich.
The Canadiens have 10 unrestricted free agents: Alex Tanguay, Saku Koivu, Alexei Kovalev, Robert Lang, Tom Kostopoulos, Mathieu Schneider, Francis Bouillon, Mathieu Dandenault, Mike Komisarek and Patrice Brisebois. They also have four restricted free agents: Tom Plekanec, Christopher Higgins, Kyle Chipchura and Guillaume Latendresse.
This puts the Canadiens in a tough position. They would need quick answers from the likes of Marian Hossa or Jay Bouwmeester if there is mutual interest there. The Habs can't afford to wait on players like that while their players leave one by one.
I imagine the Canadiens will identify who they wish to keep and try to get them signed early with a contract that suits them. If they can't come to a quick agreement with a player from the unrestricted free-agent list, I would let them walk. The restricted free agents should not be difficult to re-sign.
With Andrei Markov and Roman Hamrlik making over $5 million over the next two years, it might be difficult for the Canadiens to sign Komisarek. I would assume a team like the Islanders would love to sign him and have him play on Long Island, especially alongside Victor Hedman.
I would think Lang and his $4 million salary will go away. I don't think Kovalev will return unless it was for short term (like two years) and similar money ($4.5 million per). I would do the same with Koivu; short years, shorter money.
Tanguay is a tough decision. He is making $5.3 million this year and has scored more than 80 points once in his career. He is about to turn 30. I would probably not bring him back at that price.
The Canadiens need to get younger, faster and tougher. That is how I would approach all of these signings -- focused, quick and to the point.
GPS navigation systems have been around since the mid-1980s, but it is only in the last 10 years that they have become affordable to the masses. I was the person who responded about a year ago when someone in one of your columns asked why they couldn't come up with a GPS system to determine when a puck crossed the goal line (my response was that GPS doesn't work indoors). I work for a GPS company and a previous CEO, Brad Parkinson, was credited as a co-inventor of GPS (design concept began in the mid-1970s). I always think it would be really cool to use GPS in football to determine immediately after ball replacement if a team got a first down. I think the NFL could use some new technology instead of employing two guys with chains.
This is why the e-mail bag rocks. You, the reader. Roger Goodell, take note.
Dear John,
Your idea that Mike Richards is a possible Hart Trophy candidate is absurd.
I am a life long Flyers fan. I vividly remember my father taking me to a game against Winnipeg in 1981 to witness Bobby Clarke return from an ankle injury, I attended Pelle Lindbergh's last game against Chicago in November of 1985, I cried my eyes out at age 10 on Memorial Day 1987 when they lost Game 7 to the Oilers, I listened to a radio as I was going to sleep and heard Gene Hart announce Ron Hextall's goal against Boston in 1987. Any comparison to Bobby Clarke is asinine.
Again, I am a Flyers, and though I hate myself for saying it, I would trade Richards and his little buddy Jeff Carter in a heartbeat for either Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin or Hossa. No question about it. The Richards hype in Philadelphia (as you mentioned, it doesn't seem to be taking place anywhere else) is mainly a media creation from an organization and the media company that owns them trying to sell the fans the notion that Richards is the greatest player the organization has seen.
Joe Boylan
Philadelphia, Pa.
I'm speechless.
I'm a huge Bruins fan from Rhode Island, and I'm loving the success the B's are having this year, but looking to the offseason kinds of makes me a little nervous. We have limited cap space while Krejci and Kessel are both RFAs. These are core players. ... So my question is, how do you see this playing out and if we have to choose, which one would you let go?
Josh DeSantis
Newport, R.I.
The Bruins will have major decisions to make this summer concerning their salary structure. Tim Thomas' salary number is somewhat offset by Manny Fernandez's $4.3 million salary coming off the books. But the Bruins still need a backup. Then, there is Kessel and Krejci.
Kessel is a force, the Bruins' most talented and explosive player. He has to play well for the Bruins to go deep in the playoffs. I think he is the most important player on the Bruins outside of the goaltending. He should be a 35- to 40-goal scorer for the next five seasons and that equals roughly a $5 million annual salary.
Krejci has to look at Jordan Staal's contract extension in Pittsburgh -- four years, $16 million -- and say, "I deserve that." Maybe with the economy and the sinking cap, Krejci may be in the $3.5 million per area; but that still, along with Kessel, adds roughly $8.5 million to Boston's payroll. And that is on top of what the goaltender position will cost them next season.
This means someone has to go from the current roster because no major numbers are coming off the books. The most likely candidate is Marco Sturm's $3.5 million salary for the next two years. As long as Sturm comes back healthy, it is an easy contract to trade to a team like the Islanders. That is not a knock on the Islanders. Sturm is a good signing. It's short term, he is fast and productive, and plays with great energy and enthusiasm. He would be a great fit on the Island.
Unless my math is way off, I think the Bruins may have to make another move, whether it's someone like Chuck Kobasew or even Patrice Bergeron. It is going to be a very difficult series of decisions for the Bruins.
Hey John,
I have a question for you. In the last week, we have seen at least two great hip checks: Keith Ballard sending Scott Hartnell through the air and Steve Ott doing the same to Taylor Pyatt. In my opinion, both hits were clean. And, in each case, the checkee was skating with the puck with their heads down. I thought Scott Stevens all taught us the lesson of always keeping your head up, but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, after each of these checks and after Hartnell and Pyatt collected themselves, they immediately went after the guys that checked them looking for revenge, but not in the flow of the game kind of revenge, but the "I'm so embarrassed I got laid out like that that I need to prove I'm a man right now" kind of revenge. Unfortunately, this happens all the time after good clean checks. I was just curious what your opinion was on this?
Justin Kelly
Birmingham, Ala.
My stance on this has been stated here for years. I always use the NFL comparison. When a safety cleans the clock of an NFL wide receiver, you don't see a teammate of the wide receiver come over and even shove the safety. Hard hits are a part of the game. Now I understand the bonding that can develop from Sidney Crosby challenging the Panthers' Keith Ballard after Ballard hip checked Evgeni Malkin this past weekend. And I understand it's a tactical move that could result in a player shying away from a big hit later in that game or in a future game against that same team. I like strategy and I like a good fight, but I don't know if I like that tactic. Players should be free to legally hit. Now in an illegal hit situation, I have no problem with a player going after an opponent.
So this past Friday I'm on my way home from Amherst for a men's league playoff game (which we lost). I decided to stop on the Pike for some McDonald's since I hadn't eaten anything all day. As I'm eating my quarter-pounder, I notice this mullet approaching. I look up only to see the legend himself, Barry Melrose. After calling all of my buddies to tell them I was eating McDonald's with the mullet itself, I mustered up the courage to say "Hi" (I didn't know what to say ... the hair's more intimidating in person). He's a class guy ... we talked about the regionals for about 15 minutes and he didn't seem to mind that some college-aged, out-of-shape player/fan stopped him to talk. Just thought I'd share it with you, as it started my weekend off right.
Barry is very approachable. If you see him at an airport, a Micky D's, or at the opera, say "Hi."
Mr. Buccigross,
I just wanted to drop a line and tell you that I really enjoyed your broadcast of the BU vs. UNH game yesterday. I haven't watched a lot of college hockey (tuned into this one to see the Flyers prospect vanRiemsdyk play) and found it surprisingly exciting. You and Mr. Melrose are a good broadcast duo. Anyone listening could tell that this is your passion. Is there a school that you are rooting for or do you have to stay neutral? I would have a tough time watching a game without rooting for someone. Keep up the good work. I will be sure to tune into the finals.
John Cannon
Philadelphia, Pa.
I won't have a favorite college hockey team until Heidelberg University gets a hockey team. It's my favorite assignment each year, doing play-by-play for a hockey game. We had a fantastic broadcast vantage point to call the games and see the players up-close. After watching BU up-close, it is clear to me Matt Gilroy is the Hobey Baker winner. And it was told to me by someone in the know he is expected to win the award Friday.
I'm watching the regional coverage of BU-UNH on ESPNU, and Melrose asked why our mascot is named Rhett. Our colors are scarlet (not red -- that's Cornell) and white. In "Gone with the Wind," Rhett is in love with Scarlett. So the saying goes, no one loves Scarlett like Rhett, hence the name.
Matt Bain
Boston University, '07
Hey John,
What are your thoughts on James vanRiemsdyk? I know a lot is expected from him as the No. 2 pick behind [Patrick] Kane, but he doesn't seem to have developed as much as you would hope for? Does he still have a bright future?
I think he has a very bright future. He has great size and great hands, an excellent combination. He was playing out of position at New Hampshire for the good of the team. He played center there, but in the NHL, he will be a classic left winger. He is also woefully well below the necessary fitness level to be a professional hockey player. The quicker he learns how to eat and train, the quicker he will become a good professional player. His stamina is weak and his strength is average. He needs to put down the joystick, turn off the Xbox, hit the weight room and the bike, and get down to business.
I have been a lifelong Avs fan, my family has had season tickets since 1995. This season has been unprecedented and my question to you sir, is it OK to root for the Avs to lose so the team can get one of the top two draft picks? I would love to see Victor or John in an Avs Sweater.
Thanks for reading my e-mail,
It is perfectly fine to do that, TJ. This time of year, it's about ping-pong balls.
Hi John,
I just wrote to the press officer of Håkan Loob's team and I asked him to forward my mail to him; he should know about the Hakan Loob Hanukkah song and the Loob trivia on ESPN, etc. ... Let's see if he answers; they are about to win the league, so he might be busy with other things.
On another note, I just love the pronunciation guide under all the foreigners in the NHL. Henrik Zetterberg is described as HEHN rihk ZEH tuhr buhrg ... If somebody asked his mother who that is, she wouldn't say it's her son ... Shouldn't a native Swede do the spelling for a Swede and a Czech for the Czechs, etc.? I don't know, but I think Ilya Kovalchuk is Ill-ya Koval-chook, not Koval-chuck ... Markus Näslund is Markus (impossible for a native English speaker to pronounce it the Swedish way) Naeslearned (pretty much). I am sitting in China reading about how my favourite Swedish team won't get back to the Elite League and how Henke Lundqvist (pronounced Hehnke Luundkvist) probably won't make it to the Stanley Cup this year, either. Also, when a couple wants you to name their twins (boy and girl) and they are Flames fans you tell them Flaminia and Carl-Gary.
Magnus Sjolander
Shenzhen, China
I tattooed that e-mail on my back.
Hey Bucci,
Hope I'm not breaking the rules here. ... I'm trying to think of a name for the fantasy baseball team. I know hockey is your specialty, but ... any thoughts???
Most who read this column know my passions for life are hockey, golf, baseball, music and cheese. I play fantasy baseball. My team name is Wily Mo Beer after Wily Mo Pena. You're from Minnesota, so I would call your team: Kent Hrbek likes to hunt.
"Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them." -- John Updike
Hey John,
I just finished reading your latest column, and was moved to write this after reading Nick DiIorio's letter. I have one thing to say to Nick: play hockey. I also had two back surgeries within one year before turning 40. I spent most of my life playing baseball at a reasonably high level, but always wanted to play ice hockey. I regretted not playing, and knew that if I didn't try it, I'd carry that regret with me forever. That's why, at age 42, I joined a beginners D league that is run by the Wharton School of Business at U of Penn, not far from Nick's home in Brookhaven. I had no idea what I had been missing. In addition to being a blast (I even scored a goal on my 43rd birthday), it has helped me build leg and core strength, which are essential for a healthy back. Imagine how great it would be for Nick to watch his son's games and his son being able to do the same.
Steve Sabo
Dear John,
Claude Giroux is hot-pocket awesome. I wonder if he will affect Daniel Briere's playing time in the future, especially considering Giroux is so good in his own zone. Attached is a picture of our daughter, Tevya Domenica, borrowing my wife's Jeff Carter jersey.
Dan & Marie
She's a beauty, a one-in-a-million girl.

TORONTO - Loblaw Companies Ltd. (TSX:L) says it will sign an accord on fire and building safety in Bangladesh following the collapse of a building in that country that killed more than 1,100 workers.
The company had items for its Joe Fresh clothing label made in the building.
The Accord on Fire and Building Safety is an initiative aimed at improving worker safety in the Bangladesh garment industry.
The company says it will also keep its promise to have its own people on the ground in the country that will report directly to the company.
Several other big retailers have also signed the pact, including Benetton and trendy Swedish fashion chain H
The agreement requires that the companies conduct independent safety inspections, make their reports on factory conditions public and cover the cost of needed repairs.

Killing micro-organisms can kill taste. This is not the slogan for a health advice campaign, but could well be the simple conclusion reached by consumers who eat ready-to-eat (RTE) meals. RTE foods are very popular for their convenience and widespread availability, but they are not always as tasty and healthy as fresh products.
The lack of taste and freshness is mainly due to decontamination processes, where the eradication of micro-organisms for the protection of human health often goes hand in hand with the loss of nutrients and flavour. The project HighQ RTE looks into the decontamination problem and suggests novel nonthermal technologies to improve microbial safety and shelf life of RTEs, while maintaining overall high taste and nutritional quality.
In HighQ RTE, the focus is on three types of foods: ready-to-eat vegetable and fruit salads; fluid foods (egg- and dairy-based products and ingredients); and ready-to-eat meals of vegetable origin.
Current thermal food manufacturing processes can improve food safety and product shelf life without leaving residues, and are cheap and well perceived by consumers. However, heat treatments at high temperatures induce several changes including lipid oxidation, nutrients bioavailability and modifications of the organoleptic properties. Another frequent effect of thermal treatments is the 'Maillard reaction' which results in melanoidins which can be metabolised by the microflora of the hind gut in heterocyclic amines, some of which have been reported to be human carcinogens.
HighQ RTE is developing four new technologies. For each, modelling of the death kinetics of the naturally occurring microbial population and deliberately inoculated pathogenic species is performed. This results in models of bacterial survival and regrowth that is the basis for quantitative risk assessment procedures. Risk assessment is fundamental in determining lethality levels and treatment doses in all processes and for choosing the appropriate processes for each food system.
Four non-thermal processing technologies are being developed to improve the safety and shelf life of RTE meals: Photosensitisation (PHOTO); Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF); High Pressure Homogenisation (HPH); and High Hydrostatic Pressure in combination with CO2 atmospheres (HHPCO).
PHOTO is used for ready-to-eat vegetable and fruit salads. It consists of the combination of a non-toxic dye and a bright light which, in the presence of oxygen, results in the selective destruction of the target microorganisms. The PHOTO technique can also be used for packaging decontamination. PEF and HPH is used for fluid foods.
PEF involves the application of high voltage electrical fields for microseconds to liquid foods such as sauces, dressings, beverages and fillings. During HPH treatment the fluid is forced, under high pressure, through a narrow valve after which it undergoes a rapid depression. The process variables affect also the food microstructure and the interaction between food ingredients.
The fourth technology is HHPCO which is used for RTE meals. It combines traditional high hydrostatic pressure with CO2 for safer packaging and longer shelf life. HighQ RTE studies the effects and results of these four technologies and compares them to thermal treatments.
HighQ RTE is developing pilot scale equipments. The resulting technologies can be used to significantly increase the production of high quality and safe RTE products in the catering sector.

Similar to MongoDB update: how to check if an update succeeds or fails? but for default mongodb shell. db.collection.update() will execute silently in both cases: when query has found a document and when not. And getLastError is also null after both updates.
How can I find out that something was actually updated without re-querying collection?
I am using MongoDB version

Posted on 10/11/2011 10:03:24 PM PDT by jonatron
Boston police arrested 141 people during Occupy Boston demonstrations on Tuesday. The early morning arrests (1:30 am) were for trespassing and unlawful assembly. After almost 15 hours in custody, all of the peaceful demonstrators detained by the Boston Police Department had finally been released as of 6 pm on October 11. Occupy Boston has many eye-witness accounts and videos of police misconduct during the arrests (see above).
Perhaps the most disturbing, and characteristic, clip is of a member of Veterans for Peace being thrown to the ground multiple times without provocation. Street medics and clearly marked legal observers who were also detained despite explanation that they were neutral observers, and in sharp contrast to how non-violent arrests ordinarily take place.
As the Boston Globe said:
Urszula Masny-Latos (executive director of the National Lawyers Guilds Northeast regional office) said no protesters fought with police. She said police could have employed a technique routinely used at other protestspolice approach a protester, tell them they are violating the law, and the protester then submits to being taken into custodyand still achieved their goal of clearing the area.
They really attacked, Masny-Latos said of police. They used force that was completely unnecessary. It was just brutal. I have no idea why they arrested us with such force (Boston.com).
While police contend that their actions were, at least in part, due to an anarchist contingent that had taken control of the group, this was not the case. While police stood across the street from Occupy Bostons General Assembly, the General Assmebly(Sic) voted almost unanimously (80%) to peacefully protest Occupy Bostons removal from the area that BPD insisted the protestors(Sic) vacate by 12:00 am Tuesday.
Occupiers have been in constant contact with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, a non-profit that manages the publicly park owned by MassDOT, and, prior to their arrests, they had received verbal consent to stay in the park. Further, Occupy Boston has plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for restoring damaged areas of the park. Last week, members also unanimously agreed to return to Dewey Squareand any other areas that they occupyto repair any damaged grass.
As the Huffington Post wrote:
The Greenway website confirms that it did have an agreement with the protestors(Sic). Occupy Boston organizers have been cooperative with the Conservancy and the Boston Police Department to date, and have agreed to avoid the planting beds and adhere to common sense rules. Calls to the Greenway seeking comment were not returned (The Huffington Post).
Ya know, liberal popo are meaner than conservative popo.
Everyone (The real 99%), knows the Boston Police are very fair, friendly and tolerant, not in the least bit brutal- even with communist, terrorist-supporting fools.
When I was a kid, Halloween was only one night of the year. Now, it's the whole month of October and November and December and... (If the 'RAT politicians get their way and the useful idiots can take the cold).
Entertaining article, even though parts of it read as if it were translated from Chinese into French, and then dragged kicking and screaming into English, eg: a non-profit that manages the publicly park owned by MassDOT,
Gee... The police didn't use "a tactic" that was used at "other protests." Gosh darn it. The police should apparently ALWAYS telegraph their actions lest a complete idiot "protester" not know what is happening. Whatta buncha losers.
Want to enjoy a little Jewish humor? The so-called Veterans for Peace member (neomarxist group) on the ground is wearing a Palestinian kaffiyah scarf, the symbol of the murder Yasser Arafat and his killing minions.
Above it is a 6-pointed star on the police/sheriff's car. A Jewish star, the Mogen David, is also a 6-pointed star.
Scissor, paper, rock becomes Jewish Star over Palestinian kaffiyah and marxist rabble. I love it when the good guys win.
Notice the involvement of the marxist National Lawyers Guild, an organization of communist lawyers and liberal supporters, that was originally formed by the Communist Party USA to protect its thuggish members.
Old reds never die; they just smell that way.
Apparently so do the newer ones.
How many Tea Partiers did you see arrested in Boston lately? Super liberal-state arresting lazy hippies. I'm sure there was a good reason for doing so. These libs can argue against the eeevil pooolice all they want, but the facts are the facts.
We organize peacfully (and are clean), they are not peacefull, are looking to instigate problems, and are filthy.
The "protesters" are also ripping themselves to shreds. My favorite: I have to say that I [sic] seems our movement is starting to make enemies with the police. BWAHAHAHAH
#1: When arrested, make a face like you are being hurt
#2: When touched, fall down as if thrown down
#3; When walking to paddy wagon, limp heavily
#4; Always play you act for the cameras
Think they all need a dose of Whup Ass.
I love the guy at :10, in the white shirt. Touch him and he falls.
And I forgot, always have the crying bimbo at the end.

April 9, 2004
Urszula Masny-Latos is an adviser to the Black Tea Society
"This November if you want to vote for a rich white male, pro-war, pro-cop, pro-god, pro-death penalty, pro-Israeli Occupation of Palestine, pro-US Occupation of Iraq, pro-national ID card, pro-patriot act, pro-NAFTA, anti-Gay Marriage, pro-video surveillance, pro-prison industrial complex, pro-no child left behind, anti-universal health care candidate, then this is the election for you!"
The Bl(A)ck Tea Society was an ad hoc, nonviolent anti-authoritarian coalition whose purpose was to protest the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. The group believed that the United States was a two-party duopoly that offers no real choice between Republicans and Democrats.
Anarchist Black Tea Society
Yours in anarchy,
Black Tea Society
It's a poignant scene, especially for an anarchists' festival.
The Really Really Democratic Bazaar was organized by The Bl(A)ck Tea Society, a coalition of activists protesting the DNC. Its purpose is to offer a space where people can demonstrate their opposition to the "corporate elite" that have taken over the city. The BTS refers to itself as "anti-authoritarian" and is made-up of people from various political backgrounds, including progressives, libertarians, Marxists and anarchists.
Better hope they don't pick up the soap, or else someone is going occupy their back country.
In some jurisdictions the police don't bother to arrest vagrants who've broken the law. Instead they transport them over the county or state line and throw them from the vehicle at about 60 m.p.h. Because of the large numbers in Boston perhaps a freight train could be used.
Soros and like-kind money used to organize and initiate and pay ($350-$650/week) and feed and publicize these rabble-rousers will of course not be available for this part of the operation.
They used force that was completely unnecessary. It was just brutal. I have no idea why they arrested us with such force
Boston Cops - the Night Shift. They're not really a subtle and delicate bunch of guys. The garbage that crawls around at night in Boston can only be dealt with as demonstrated.
OMG That article wasn't biased was it ARF
These people are loons, you can't just pitch a tent for weeks and destroy parks , streets fields etc and then complain that the people, the police, and just about everyone especially those on their way to work in the morning have had enough of you.
Boston to their credit and it is a nice city though the state has been ruined by the upper class students who stay there after college has done much more than NY City to stop the stench these protesters are causing.
Just because they like to live in squall er , we don't
Tell you what.
I got to know a lot of cops in Boston and having been to many other cities I would have to say the Boston cops are by far the most friendly and best I have come across .
They actually talk to you as a person unlike most cops in other big cities I've been to.
Just looked their site and what a laugh it is.
Why do these left wing fringe fanatics actually think that they speak for all of us or why do they think that because they have a 100 or so protesters they are the majority.
it's always the same thing with left wing fanatics and extremists and that is they tell each other they are the majority when clearly they are not.
That is the trouble with MA, I've found the local native people more conservative in their social views and they do like to help each other out.
The problem for the state is
1.Cambridge, bunch of Harvard, MIT elites and aging hippies.
2. Lexington the homosexual women have invaded a beautiful historic town and took it over.
3. Boston and certain areas like sadly now southie, North end,my favorite> Brookline, Newton especially have too many college liberal left over yuppies and now Quincy is being taken over by the yuppies.
LOL. Keffiyeh plus Star of David was the first thing I saw too!
Jew consipracy! ROFL.
If they're soooo peaceful, why were they arrested! Dingbats!
who are they?
"Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
Certainly true !! The BPD is the most Humane I've encountered.

Loving twenty eleven, but ...
I've created a child theme and would like to create my own custom homepage but am a beginner and all the reference documents refer to twenty ten theme.
I've tried copying sidebar-page.php and renaming as sidebar-home (so it now appears as a template) but all the php I was expecting to see here is gone.
Please can anyone help explain what this line is now doing and if there are any (beginner) tutorials on how to create a custom page for twenty eleven?

The Manager and Salesman did a great job for my wife and I. We told them where we needed to be on price and payments and they were able to show us several options. The sales people were very helpful and had plenty of choices for us to look through. We felt no pressure to go one way or the other with our options and the choices were clearly explained in detail.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Attorneys for 44-year-old Willie McNair have
asked the Alabama Supreme Court to block his lethal injection, which is set for Thursday for his conviction in the 1990 robbery and murder of 68-year-old Ella Foy Riley.
In a bid for a stay of execution filed Friday, McNair's attorneys say the jury's recommended penalty of life in prison without parole for McNair should not have been overruled by the state court judge.
Under Alabama law, a judge in a capital murder case is not bound by a jury's recommended penalty.
Prosecutors contend McNair has exhausted his appeals.
He's scheduled for execution at Holman Prison for killing the Abbeville woman in her home and stealing her purse when she refused to loan him $20.

The Tap Pre-Show: See the Last Bison perform 'Switzerland' in our studio
The Last Bison is a family affair. Actually two families. Frontman Ben Hardesty's father Dan does the banjo and mandolin, with Ben's sis Annah on bells and percussion. Andrew Benfante handles reed organ and the melodica, and brother Jay is on drums and percussion. Then "honorary relatives" Teresa Totheroh (Annah's best friend) plays violin, with Annah's boyfriend Amos Housworth on cello.
With their talents combined the Virginia folk revival act has made one of my favorite songs so far this year "Switzerland," appearing on its debut album "Inheritance" for Republic Records (home of the Avett Brothers and Of Monsters and Men). The combination of whimsical xylophone and banjo, the beauty of violin and cello, and the gruff passion of Ben Hardesty's voice really gets under my skin. »Read Full Blog Post

Soulstice cast hits the right notes with Sondheim's 'Follies'
Just after intermission in the production of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" now being staged by Soulstice Theatre, Heidi Schiller — oldest among the pre-World War II showgirls attending a one-time reunion — begins to warble an operetta-like tune from her heyday.
Playing the older Heidi, Amanda Hull sings that we must never look back. But of course Heidi looks, remembering the ravishing young performer she'd once been, when she could hit every note in songs like this one. Which the suddenly materialized younger Heidi (a lovely Julianne Frey) then easily does, singing of the bittersweet passage of time — something a young Heidi can't possibly feel as acutely as her older self does. »Read Full Article

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
- Hyphenation: de‧pre‧da‧tor
depredator (plural depredators)
- One who depredates, or commits depredation.
- 1817, Walter Scott, Rob Roy:
- An open heath, a close plantation, were alike subjects of apprehension; and the whistle of a shepherd lad was instantly converted into the signal of a depredator.
1836, Robert Huish, Lander's Travels[1]:
- Orders were now given to fire on all depredators, royal or plebeian; and after a few shots had been discharged without producing any fatal effects, the thieves hid themselves amongst the rocks, and were merely seen peeping through the crevices.
1892, Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, The Wrecker[2]:
- The sight of her old neighbourly depredator shivering at the door in tatters, the very oddity of his appeal, touched a soft spot in the spinster's heart.

Horton Hatches the Egg
by Dr. Seuss
Minor Characters
Character Analysis
Horton's Friends
Three boos for Horton's friends: Boo! Boo! Boo! These little creatures really let him down in his time of greatest need:
They taunted. They teased him.
They yelled, "How absurd!
Old Horton the Elephant
Thinks he's a bird." (80-82)
This motley crew (we counted a giraffe, a hippo, a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch, and other critters we're afraid to try to identify, but which look like squirrels, a moose, a lion, and some bunnies) seem to represent a cruel, callous society which ridicules what they don't understand.
But Horton's friends help us see how strong he is. A lesser elephant would have hopped right off the egg and run away with his friends. A lesser elephant would have abandoned the egg in order to earn the acceptance of his friends. Horton has his priorities straight.
Will he forgive his friends for their terrible breach? Well, check out the snooty looks on Horton and the elephant-bird's faces in the homecoming scene. Those looks, and Horton's distance from his friends, suggests that they might have to learn a thing or two about faithfulness before they rejoin the Horton club.
The Circus Crowds
The circus crowds have the same reaction to Horton as his friends do, except these people are willing to pay for the pleasure of taunting our hero:
Sold to a circus! Then week after week
They showed him to people at ten cents a peak. (159-160)
And everywhere thousands of folks flocked to see
And laugh at the elephant up in a tree. (165-166)
Oh, cruel world. Where are all the good guys?
The circus crowds, like Horton's friends, finally do see the goodness in Horton—but only because his kid looks kind of like him. Still, maybe, just maybe, they'll be more accepting in the future.
The Hunters
For, while Horton sat there
So faithful, so kind,
Three hunters came sneaking
Up softly behind! (95-98)
If nothing else, these three hunters are superhumanly strong. They six-handedly uproot Horton's tree with him inside it. They even manage to get it into a pot. And into a cage. Then they push and pull it over a ten-thousand-foot mountain range. Yikes.
The hunters contribute to the transcontinental flavor we talk about in "Setting" by sending Horton on a whirlwind tour. Plus, they allow Seuss to weave all kinds of complicated issues into his story, including colonization, slavery, forced migration, and, of course, the ethics and morality of zoos and circuses.

The Amazing Recovery Of Sammy, The Abandoned Cocker Spaniel
Sammy was found abandoned by his owner in a garbage bag and is currently recuperating at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital.
1. This is Samurai, or Sammy, and he was found earlier this month, abandoned, dumped in a garbage bag in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.
2. Here's a photo of Sammy the next day. The Red Bank Veterinary Hospital put him on a naso-gastric tube (the yellow tube in his nose) and tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
3. According to the Red Bank Vet's Facebook, he coughed out his feeding tube so they had to start feeding him by syringe in tiny doses (he did get a stuffed bunny though).
4. By St. Patrick's Day, Sammy was doing better and able to eat more!
5. And even more amazingly, children from the community started sending Sammy get well cards (omg).
6. This is Sammy on Monday of this week. He's still hanging in there!
7. Later in the day on Monday, Sammy ate by himself for the first time.
8. On Tuesday Sammy took a short walk.
9. And by last night, Sammy was eating and drinking by himself, not to mention wearing an incredibly stylish Burberry jacket.
10. So remember, support your local shelters because they can work miracles!

TClock: Show Windows 7 Look-like Date & Time in System Tray in Windows XP and Vista
As we all know "Windows 7" comes with new Superbar (redesigned Taskbar) which shows Date along with Time in system tray. Earlier we mentioned that you can even customize the date and time format and can show AM/PM symbols, Day and Month names:
How to Show AM / PM Symbols in System Tray Clock in Windows 7
How to Show Day and Month Names in System Tray Date in Windows 7
But it was only applicable in Windows 7, then what about Windows XP and Vista users?
No need to worry. "TClock" is a very small and portable utility which can be customized to show the Windows 7 look-a-like Date and Time in Windows XP and Vista.
Actually its an application to customize system tray clock format. You can show whatever you want. You can customize AM/PM symbols, date and time format.
Following are some screenshots taken from Windows XP, Vista and 7 showing TClock in action:
Windows XP:
Windows Vista:
Windows 7:
As you can see, we can show both Date and Time (even Day and Month names) using TClock. You can customize its properties by right-click on system tray clock and select "TClock Properties".
As you can see in above screenshot, you can even access "Task Manager" and "Taskbar Properties" from its context menu.
Once you enter TClock Properties, you can change various options like:
- Changing clock font and color
- Its size and position
- Date and Time format
- You can even set alarms
To show date and time, just use the string shown in the above screenshot. You can get more information about the format from following topic:
How to Show Day and Month Names in System Tray Date in Windows 7
"TClock" also allows Windows XP users to hide Start button, rename Start button, opening Start Menu from system tray.
You can also set Transparency for Start Menu and Taskbar and it works even in Windows 7.
So its a small but highly customizable application for Windows users.

Libbey Reports Record Adjusted Income From Operations
Thursday April 25th, 2013 - 3:14PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the first quarter ended March 31, Libbey Inc. reported that sales were $183.5 million compared to $187.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 2.3%, or 2.8% excluding currency fluctuation. Net income grew to $2 million from $600,000 in the 2012 first quarter, the company stated.
Libby related that adjusted income from operations grew 9.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2012, increasing to an all-time first quarter record of $16.4 million from $14.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.2% to a record for any first quarter of $26.2 million, the company asserted, after adjusting for $4.3 million of restructuring charges relating to the company's previously announced plans to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at its Shreveport, LA manufacturing facility, versus $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2012.
"Overall, we are pleased with this quarter's results. While disappointed with a sales decline in the U.S. and Canada, we are very encouraged by our significant sales increase in Mexico and Latin America. The critical story, however, is our success in cost reductions, which resulted in record adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA for any first quarter ever. This performance is even more notable, given that we had an extensive amount of maintenance activity, which led to underutilized capacity during the quarter," said Stephanie Streeter, Libbey CEO. "We are building a track record of success improving our cost structure, focusing on productivity improvements, leveraging our advantaged businesses and strengthening our balance sheet. We believe this solid start to the year should enable continued improved financial and operational performance for the remainder of 2013."
Libbey's sales in the Americas segment were $123.5 million compared to $129.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 4.7%, or 5.2% excluding currency fluctuation. Sales performance was led by a 4.5% increase in sales within the Mexican and Latin American end market. or 2.8% excluding currency impact, offset by an 8.6% decrease within the United States. and Canada end market, the company reported.

While the vid does have some rather interesting visuals (to wit, Kymberly Kyle's garden hose tryst), the excruciatinglynoticeable slow pacing and noticable lack of female orgasms (Whitney is the only one we witness getting off) make for somewhat dull viewing. Especially considering this is a solo tape. Things get wet, but not exactly wicked.
