Cynthia Ozick was born in 1928 on the Upper East Side of New York City. Her parents came to America as part of a mass exodus of Russian Jews escaping brutal state-sponsored attacks, or pogroms. Ozick's mother was nine when her family arrived; Ozick's father did not immigrate until he was twenty-one. Facing conscription into the Tsar's army, he fled Russia and used the skills he had acquired through a formal education to open his own pharmacy in New York.
By the time Ozick turned two, her father had moved the business and his family to the Pelham Bay area of the Bronx. At five and a half, she entered heder, small classes for religious instruction, but was turned away by a rabbi who did not believe in educating girls. Her maternal grandmother took her back the next day, insisting that the rabbi allow her to study.
Though Pelham Bay was a diverse community of immigrants, Ozick was ostracized because of her Judaism. When she attended public grade school, classmates taunted her with religious slurs because she would not sing Christmas carols. She read books from the traveling library that arrived on Friday afternoons. Each child was allowed two books and a magazine. Usually by sunset, Ozick—who knew from early childhood that she would be a writer—had devoured her quota for the week.
Acceptance to Hunter College High School in New York City, at the time an all-girls school for intellectually gifted students, bolstered her academic self-confidence. She attended New York University, then headed to Ohio State for her master's degree. She married Bernard Hallote in 1952 and, after graduation, moved back to New York.
Ozick did not publish her first novel, Trust, until 14 years later. She has since written acclaimed novels, short stories, essays, and literary criticism. Four of her stories have won the coveted O. Henry Prize. The recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, she was honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters with the Mildred and Harold Strauss Living Award and was the first writer to be granted the Rea Award for the Short Story, given ever since to an author whose writing has made a significant contribution in promoting the short story as an art form.
On August 9, 2007, Dana Gioia, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, interviewed Cynthia Ozick in Washington, DC. Excerpts from their conversation follow.
Dana Gioia: What were the most important books of your childhood?
Cynthia Ozick: My mother would often tease me, "Is it Little Women again?" The fairy books were indispensable. I've never gotten over the fairy tales—never. I remember an engraving in one of the fairy books of a long avenue with cypress trees. It was so melancholy that it stayed with me forever, so that, whenever today I see a tall angular tree, that same feeling of strange melancholy returns from the fairy tales.
DG: Did you always want to be a writer?
CO: Always. It was a destiny that I never had any alternative to; or wished for any alternative. I simply knew it, always. But I never even thought of myself as a writer until I had published a certain basic body of work because it seemed to me that it was hubris. Who would take me seriously? So if someone asked, "What do you do?" it took me a long time before I could say, "I'm a writer."
DG: What is the difference for you between writing fiction and writing criticism?
CO: If you're going to write an essay, let's say, about Henry James, you have a subject, and you know something. If you're going to write fiction, you have nothing. You begin in chaos. You may have a smell, a scene, a word, an idea, an emotion. It seems to me that ideas and emotions are inseparable. Emotions may not always be ideas, but ideas are always emotions. In fiction you can come up with something that you never knew you knew.
DG: In The Shawl your main character, Rosa, is Jewish, but she is also very proud of being Polish. What can you tell us about her background?
CO: Rosa is a very deeply assimilated Polish Jew. She is so assimilated that her family has had an estrangement from their origins. When I was writing this, I can't say that I consciously knew what I was doing. But from my perspective now, perhaps unwittingly, I was making a point—from the Nazi point of view, it didn't matter how Jewish or Polish you were. There was no way out. You couldn't point out who was a Jew. If you were completely assimilated, how would anyone know? So a badge had to be manufactured—hence the yellow star—which would point you out so that you could become a victim. What this demonstrates to us is that there were no loopholes.
DG: The most brilliantly unexpected thing in The Shawl is Mr. Persky. What would you tell us about this almost comic figure?
CO: Mr. Persky as opposed to Rosa gives us an important difference: the differences between immigration and refugee status. An immigrant never wants to go back. He doesn't want to go back. He's come to America for the future, for opportunity, for life, for health, for children, for everything positive. He has left the negative behind. A refugee is full of longing. A refugee wants to go back to the good times. A refugee has never left home.
DG: The shawl itself is more than an image. It is the novel's central symbol. How do you see its significance in the book?
CO: The shawl is a symbol, and it has many meanings. It suggests terrible danger. It means you will be murdered if you are deprived of it, as Magda was. It also means infinite shelter. It represents the violence of rape, because we are given to understand that Magda is the result of something like an SS brothel. It represents degradation. At the same time—it's so contradictory—it represents life. But actually, what is it? It's an old rag. And so it seems that in despair, we can take an old rag and turn it through imagination into a living child. That's what Rosa does.

By Andrea Brown, Herald Writer
An old cedar fence taught Jim "JJ" Johansen how not to drive.
He clipped it making a tight turn and lost a year of safe driving from his UPS record. The fence was cheap to repair, but that didn't matter.
"I really shouldn't have driven up the driveway," Johansen said. "I was in a hurry, not looking at the situation."
That was about 20 years ago. He still delivers packages to the home.
"I walk up the driveway instead," he said.
The fence remains in good standing and so does the driver.
Johansen, 55, received the UPS Circle of Honor award last year for 25 years of safe driving. It's a coveted award attained by about 6 percent of UPS drivers worldwide.
"An analogy is a perfect game of bowling. It takes skill and it takes luck," he said. "The other part is that you have to have a desire to be a safe driver. My grandfather drove semis and I had that desire to follow him and he had 42 years of safe driving."
Johansen has driven more than 600,000 miles in the big brown rig. He does about 130 deliveries a day in north Edmonds. It's a scenic, winding route of houses with long driveways.
Dogs. Driveways. Other drivers. Those are his three worst nightmares.
Dogs usually can be controlled with the biscuits he carries with him at all times.
"They know which pocket they are in," he said.
Pulling into a driveway is easier than backing out an 18-foot truck.
"Roughly a third of all accidents happen while backing," he said.
Yeah, he appreciates the irony that his only mishap was while going forward.
As for motorists, well, they are not to be trusted.
"It's nuts what you see out here on the road. People pull right out in front of me. Incredible," he said.
"People don't take driving very seriously. It's all about getting from Point A to Point B as fast as they can do it.
"Oh, and make cellphone calls at the same time. Or put their makeup on. Or feed the baby. Or have the dog in your lap.
"I've seen it all. The people of Edmonds are fortunate I have a very poor memory, otherwise my memoirs would be really popular."
Johansen took over the Edmonds route 22 years ago.
"I got lucky. Nobody wanted the route," he said. "Most guys had seniority and had routes they liked."
He knew the area.
"I grew up a mile up the hill and live a mile and a half away," he said. "I graduated from Edmonds High School. When I started the route, my in-laws lived on the route and my ex-in-laws."
The people on his route are more than customers.
"I've gone to weddings," he said. "I've gone to funerals."
His UPS career began in the Everett warehouse while a community college student after serving as a helicopter crew chief in the U.S. Army.
The task-focused delivery service fit with his military background.
"You get to wear a uniform," he said. "And you have to get it done."
He landed a route driving before the invention of Internet sales.
Now he's like the Santa Claus of Amazon. His brown sleigh is packed with boxes of goods ordered online: books, tools, electronics, clothes.
"Shoes. Oh. My. God. Shoes," he said.
It keeps him on his toes.
"Someone coined us as industrial athletes, that's what we are," he said. "It keeps you in shape, but it beats you up."
The trucks have improved in recent years, with power steering and more head room.
Johansen, who is 6 feet tall, used to have to remember to duck at the doorway 250 times a day.
"I had dents on my head," he said.
He works out of the UPS Canyon Park Center in Redmond.
"There are two drivers who are older than I am," he said, "but I have more grandchildren than they do."
His UPS rig is loaded when he arrives, and he can't go home to his wife until it's empty.
It makes for a long work day, but Johansen makes time to help out new UPS drivers.
"He serves as a mentor for younger drivers and imparts that mentality of safety on them," said Jessica Scrace, UPS Northwest District spokeswoman. "We're proud to have drivers like him who are so committed to helping their communities through their focus on safe driving."
Not many will wear his badge of honor.
"There are about 102,000 drivers around the world," Scrace said. "There are 6,484 Circle of Honor drivers."
Johansen is a mentor on another safety topic: early cancer prevention.
An elevated PSA was detected during routine lab tests last year.
"The doctor said, 'You have prostate cancer.' I said, 'No, I don't.' I was completely in denial," he said,
"I had that da Vinci robotic surgery. I got back in the saddle right away."
Local Circle of Honor
These Circle of Honor drivers either live in or deliver in Snohomish County. Next to their name is the number of years they've driven with no accidents.

Which, unfortunately, went badly. Rattled, the junior officer required several turns of the helm, with the ship timidly advancing then quickly reversing; turning first to port then to starboard until--after an interminable time--it was safely lashed to the dock's stanchions.
Blanched with trepidation at the diatribe he knew in his heart would be coming from the admiral's launch, he was quite perplexed by the one-word signal sent by semaphore: "Good".
His relief was short lived, however, as this was quickly followed by
To the previous message please add the word "God"!

I'm not one for sharing my chosen baby name until the babies arrival, but we haven't even chosen one yet! We had, however, chosen a girl name.
If our little boy had been a girl, her name would have been Tyndall Elisabeth. Two is it for us though, so I'm heartbroken I'll never get to use it. I LOVED it!

The nimble Syracuse guard weaved to the hoop through a maze of Layton defenders and put just enough English on his acrobatic layup that the ball kissed off the glass and into the hoop.
The guard tumbled to the hardwood behind the baseline. The Syracuse crowd chanted, "He's a legend! He's a legend!" The Lancer student section was quick to respond: "What's his name? What's his name?"
His name is Diante Mitchell, and if by the end of the season he accomplishes what he's set out to do, the Titan faithful won't be the only ones who know it.
"We want a region title, a good placement in the state tournament and we want to go as far as possible," Mitchell said. "That includes going all the way down to the state tournament and playing whoever it is."
Playing in the state tournament, with its glitz, glamour and loud, eager crowds, long has been a goal for Mitchell. When he was younger, he and his teammates would sit in the stands and daydream about the day it would be them on the court.
"When it was state tournament time, we'd miss school and go to wherever it was and sit all day, watching basketball," Mitchell said. "We used to talk about how we wanted to be down there playing and have kids watch us play."
Mitchell got a small taste of the playoff atmosphere two years ago at the end of his sophomore season when the Titans earned a spot in a play-in game. But they lost by two on their home court to Pleasant Grove.
Syracuse didn't even make it that far in Mitchell's junior season. The Titans won just one Region 1 game despite Mitchell averaging double figures in points.
But this season, with one final chance, Mitchell has done everything in his power to make sure he finally gets to play under the lights at the Dee Events Center.
"He's a special individual who wants it really, really badly," Titans coach Justin Nelson said. "And even though he's enjoying some success, he has that drive that champions have. That's a special thing in a high school kid."
After dedicating the offseason to improving his jumper, which has made defenses guard Mitchell tighter on the perimeter, leaving them vulnerable to his dribble penetration, Mitchell has poured in just less than 20 points per game. He's also piled up rebounds and assists and become a do-it-all guy for the Titans.
"He is the most complete player that I've ever been around," Nelson said. "He does everything well all aspects of the game.
"I would put Diante up against any guard in the state. His athleticism and the things that he does, it's tough for high school players to do everything as well as he can."
Mitchell's contributions have led to wins. Syracuse entered the week 11-6 on the season, and after losing their first two Region 1 games, the Titans beat both Weber and Layton on the road to put themselves into the thick of playoff contention.
With just a few games left on the schedule and only a handful of wins from achieving his goal, Mitchell can see the postseason on the horizon. And if he's able to put the finishing touches on his Syracuse career by delivering the Titans into the playoffs, there won't be many opposing student sections unfamiliar with his name.
"When you start winning and you get to the big stage and people start to see what he's all about, he'll open some eyes," Nelson said. "Everybody that sees him realizes there's something special there."

In 2005, Sudara* founder Shannon Keith took a trip to India that opened her eyes to a tragedy occurring daily to women and girls throughout the country. She could hardly believe what she witnessed in India's Red Light Districts—modern day slavery. Shannon listened to story after story of young girls being sold into the sex trade by their families, orphans picked up off the street by pimps, and even young mothers just trying to get enough money to feed their children. Many were held against their will. Others were trapped by economic poverty. Worst of all were the stories of those who managed to escape the brothels only to return due to social stigma and having no other means to survive.
Shannon returned home and gathered friends to help do something about it. The team knew that without safe, steady employment, these women stood little chance of surviving outside of the brothels. They identified a group of like-minded partners in India who were compelled to work together with any women looking for a way out of the Red Light Districts. Together, the team created a simple pattern that could be used to teach anyone wanting to learn how to sew.
In 2006, Sudara hired the first 6 employees in their first-ever sewing center partnership and began teaching each woman the skills needed to become seamstresses and our first pair of PUNJAMMIES® loungewear was produced. Stitch by stitch, the women gained confidence not only in their newfound trade, but also in their newfound hope and freedom. Since that time, our relationships have grown into multiple sewing center partnerships and hundreds of women gaining a new community and safe place to work and heal.

Winston McKenzie's steel-band snub and less-than-flattering comments about Croydon at yesterday's 'carnival' made Ukip the laughing stock of the nation and blew a large hole in his party's local election chances.
It would be hard to argue it was out of character.
When it comes to gaffes, attention-seeking stunts and shot-in-the-foot statements, the former boxer and would-be South Norwood councillor has form.
We've rounded up some of his more outlandish moments.
1. The election rap
Facing an uphill struggle to overcome heavyweights Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson in London's 2008 mayoral election, self-styled man-of-the-people Winston knew the perfect medium for his message: verse.
Displaying enough vocal dexterity to make John Barnes sound like Eminem, McKenzie opened with passable rhymes ("My desire is to take it to the wire and see Ken retire") but soon veered off-course into rambling so nonsensical it would seem made up on the spot if he didn't ask his cameraman for a cue half-way through.
Things reached a bizarre head when he dissed the incumbent Mayor on the grounds that he "sounds like a duck".
2. Shown the door by Simon Cowell
McKenzie's election rap was not his first foray into music. In 2005, he fancied his chances of reaching pop stardom on ITV talent show the X-Factor.
After passing the first stage of auditions, Winston was invited to show off his croon to Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
Sadly, he was sifted out by producers without ever facing the inscrutable glare of the music magnate and his fellow judges.
3. 'Gay parents are child abusers'
Ukip's catastrophic 'carnival' wasn't the first instance of McKenzie making controversial comments in the run-up to an election.
Six months before MPs voted resoundingly to legalise gay marriage, McKenzie was swimming furiously against the political tide by likening adoption by same-sex parents to child abuse.
In comments his own party distanced itself from, he said: "This business of gay adoption is tantamount to child abuse. It is unhealthy. The child has no chance to turn out normal."
4. Political bedhopping
What do the Conservatives, Labour, the Lib Dems, Ukip, Veritas and Unity all have in common? Answer: they're all political parties that have at one point counted Winston McKenzie as a member.
As well as flirting with every mainstream political clan, McKenzie has also run for election to Parliament, Croydon Council and the London Mayor's office as an independent, losing his deposit on each occasion.
Explaining his political bedhopping, he said: "It is not until you join a group and find out all about them that you realise this group is not for you."
5. Winston McKenzie vs Robert Kilroy-Silk
Permatanned talk-show host Robert Kilroy-Silk enlisted McKenzie in 2005 to be culture spokesman for Veritas, his newly formed party that prided itself on straight-talking. And straight-talking was exactly what he got when McKenzie quit the party following a disastrous election campaign in Croydon North, where polled just 324 votes, leaving him thousands of pounds out of pocket.
Claiming the party's founder had failed to support candidates, he said: "I'm disgusted and disillusioned with the party. I blame Robert Kilroy-Silk squarely for my disastrous campaign."
6. Founding and folding his own party
Stung by his experiences of other parties, McKenzie decided he could do better himself. He rolled up in a pick-up truck to launch the Unity Party June 2009 and announced his intention to run for election in Croydon Central.
Just four months later the wheels came off the party when its financial backer withdrew funding, forcing it to fold.
7. Pub shuts after drugs and guns raid
The Thornton Heath pub run by McKenzie and his boxing brothers lasted longer than his political party, but not by much. McKenzie Bros Bar and Grill opened in July 2001 and closed in December 2002 after a police raid led to 25 people being charged with drugs and firearms offences.
Winston, who was not arrested or charged, insisted it had closed the refurbishment. It never reopened.
8. Calling his own constituency 'a dump'
It would be folly for any politician to denounce a whole borough as "a dump", "unsafe" and "descended into depravity". When said politician is standing for election in that very same borough two days later, it is nothing short of political suicide.
9. Fashion sense
The man loves his hats.
10. The bid to buy Crystal Palace
In early 2010 McKenzie claimed to be the figurehead of a mysterious consortium hoping to hijack a bid to rescue the football club from administration.
Would the club have been better off? Watch this political advertisement of the former boxer in the run-up last year's Croydon North by-election and judge for yourself...

There is a misguided religion that holds sway over the majority of people without them noticing it. This is a hidden religion that hardly reveals itself. This religion which dominates people's attitudes and behaviors with no written doctrines at all is the religion of the ignorant. Unawarely many people adopt the principles of this religion and live by its commandments and prohibitions. However this false religion directs them to a crooked way of living while there is the possibility to adopt the morality which is hoped to please Allah and thus make them live a beautiful and easy life. One of the attributes of people who adopt this way of living is a blind courage which is distant from rationalism. We can also express this state of mind as 'recklessness.' There are different aspects of this deviant state of mind.
One of the most remarkable impacts of recklessness upon people is indifference. This base form of behavior displayed by members of the societies who do not live by the morality of the religion give them both mental and physical harm. In this mood people cannot recognize danger or even if they do, they simply do not care. For this reason in such societies deaths, injuries and material loss occur very frequently. For example;
Insistence to live in a building which is about to collapse and thus reported to be untenantable by the authorities rather than reconstructing it is one of the signs of heedlessness.
A flawed reasoning: Nothing will happen
Another attribute of people under satan's instilment is their recklessness and imprudence. That is, they act on the premise that "nothing would happen." For instance such people leave very young children alone at home, assuming that 'nothing will happen to them" and then cause great material loss and loss of lives. In societies distant to the morality of the Qur'an recklessness is so widespread that people constantly hear the words like, "Never mind", "Forget about it, nothing will happen" etc. from one another. Indeed due to this flawed rationale people hesitate to take any measures themselves or offer it to others since they avoid to be accused of being a coward. For instance those who work in a workplace with no fire extinction equipment refrain to demand the necessary equipment since they fear that other employees will mock them and imply that they act cowardly. However such reckless attitudes displayed only out of an unwise mindset generally result in harm coming to many people.
Being cautious is Allah's command
The consequences of recklessness may be various scourges, accidents or material loss in this world. Indeed our Almighty Allah Who creates man with the ability to think warns us in the Qur'an by the verse, "...but take every precaution...' (Surat an-Nisa, 102). Consequently people must keep in mind that they may be give an account of the harms they give both to themselves and to those around them due to their reckless behaviors. The way to avoid it is to seek Allah's good pleasure in every deed and to submit to Him. To those who submit themselves to Allah, He promises a beautiful, respected and honorable life:
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life and We will recompense them according to the best of what they did. (Surat an-Nahl, 97)

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:04am
The scenarios are numerous. This team wins, this one is out, this team loses, this team is in. One thing is clear: Three teams have to win in order to make the Major League Lacrosse playoffs. Boston, Long Island and Rochester are all fighting for the right to take the turf at Harvard Stadium and battle for the 2012 MLL championship.
The overwhelming question thus becomes: What do these teams have to do to win this weekend?
The Rattlers have had a turbulent season. Wins against Chesapeake, Boston and a double-dip against Long Island have Rochester fans believing this team is a favorite for playoff glory. Losses to Ohio, Hamilton and the humiliating opener against the Cannons have given ample doubt to those claims, though. Who is this Rochester team? How do they parlay their achievements into victory against their opponent this week, all the while hoping for the Lizards to fall against Hamilton this weekend? Let's look at what the Rattlers do well.
The Rattlers have cobbled together an excellent squad of help defenders that live to check and check to live. The strategy of slap-checking a guy into submission has worked well for the Golden Snakes this season. The addition of Mike Manley to the fold has instilled a real toughness into the Rochester backline. Manley has never met a slide he didn't like, even if some of them are later than a JetBlue shuttle flight. Six minutes of penalties in exchange for countless adjusted shots and 33 groundballs is a fair trade by itself, but when you combine those stats with Manley's fight club grit, the previously toothless Rattlers' defense now has a talisman to rally behind. Manley will match up with Matt Danowski this weekend in Charlotte, and it's been proven with relative certainty that if you stop the Dino by making him sore, you have a much better chance of winning.
Steve DeNapoli is a dervish on both sides of the ball. It was he that knocked the ball from Paul Rabil's stick in the overtime game against the Cannons that gave Rochester possession and the chance to win the game back in Week 4. The Rattlers have asked the world of the speedy Hofstra midfielder, and he has given them the entire solar system in response. He may not be the prettiest 6-on-6 player that has ever laced up cleats, but he is one of the best — if not the best — transition midfielder in MLL. Only Matt Abbott of the Chesapeake Bayhawks has a claim for that title. DeNapoli will need to gobble at least six or seven 50-50 balls on the face-off and turn one or tow of them into goals for the Rattlers to best the Hounds. Luckily for him he has Joel White on the opposite wing to help him out and Ned Crotty to finish the break.
A team left for dead after several trades left them picking up discarded veterans like used tissues at a wedding, the Lizards have banded together to make one big run early in the season, winning five games in a row in convincing fashion. Rookies shot them to the top of the standing at one point; Matt Gibson (11 games: 16G, 14A), Tommy Palasek (12 games: 21, 5) and Will Mangan (6 games: 8, 3) brought the Green and White back into the picture. That picture may not hang in a museum anywhere, but it certainly leans against the boulder of Springfield, Pa., known as Drew Adams. Adams has not had showcased the scintillating form that he showed early on in the season these past few games, but he has still done better than expected in goal. The Lizards need their keeper to come up big against the Canadians this weekend if they want to punch their ticket. What else needs to go well for them?
These two players combined for two points last week against the Chesapeake Bayhawks. It is an embarrassing stat line for one of those players, much less both of them put together. Seibald is a throwback midfielder. He can play defense with a rake, catch with a shovel and throw with a gardening trowel. Basically he's the constant gardener of MLL — the one guy you can rely on to play a mistake-free game when it matters the most. Even if he didn't do it last week, Seibald has the capability to rebound from such a dreadful performance with a four-goal game; there is no doubt about that. The residual doubt resides in Stephen Peyser, who has managed to pair the most epic of meltdowns (big-old ostrich eggs against Charlotte and Rochester) with the most artistic of finishes (repeating hat tricks against Boston and Hamilton). Unfortunately for Long Island, he has perpetrated more of the former than the latter in recent weeks, going 2 for 23 against Chesapeake and Charlotte respectively.
Greg Gurenlian has been nigh-unstoppable for most of this season; a hulking monster of a man with a blade in his hand and spatted cleats just ready to mess anyone up that crosses into his squared circle. And then last week happened: 8 for 20 against wunderkind Alex Smith understudy Adam Rand with just four groundballs. Hardly beastly, and entirely human. It's the first time this season anyone has made Gurenlian look human, and it cost his team a win. More face-off wins mean more possessions, and the Lizards love to bleed their touches into a pool of congealed victory and then rub it on their bodies and howl into the night. They may be called the Lizards, but they need to play like their leader — the beast among men — in order to punch their ticket in the empty amphitheater of McMaster.
The 2011 MLL champions have dragged themselves into the playoffs despite having two broken legs and one bionic arm. Fortunately that arm belongs to the cyborg known as Paul Rabil, who regained his absent form last week against the Ohio Machine going off for 7 points (3 goals, 1 2-pointer, and 3 assists) and dispatching the Mah-Sheen with back-to-back goals in the fourth quarter. The heart of a champion still beats beneath the chests of the knights of Cannon, but it's slow and has a pacemaker that tends to short out of time outs and breaks in the action. Boston doesn't want the lead to win, it needs the lead to win, and it will face the dragon of doubt when it takes on the Machine for the second time in two weeks at Selby stadium. It's a trap game, and Admiral Ackbar is nowhere to be seen.
I don't know who that guy is, but that's not the Jordan Burke that I've seen play for the past two seasons. The Cannons have not gotten the great play they have expected from their star netminder in the last few games. In fact Burke hasn't had a truly great game — defined as a performance that indisputably wins his team the game — since his 18-save performance against Hamilton more than a month ago. Burke was lit up against Denver a few weeks ago, giving up 16 goals and saving just 11 shots in the friendly confines of Harvard Stadium. Sure Burke backstopped the Cannons to a crucial win against Chesapeake to keep Boston in the playoff hunt, but it was a very average game by the standards he set for himself earlier this season. Burke hasn't had much help in front of the net either, as the Cannons defenders have all had average or below average seasons with the exception of PT Ricci. The Cannons need the Burke of old to take control and maybe bark a few more times so his defense can re-learn how to bite.
The Cannons win by attacking their opponents from all angles; behind the cage, from the wing and from the top down. Everyone knows about Rabil — new and improved, now with passing! — but teams have yet to find a way to stop Kevin Buchanan when he gets runs from the wing, and Ryan Boyle has wrested command of the X from over zealous defenders who thought he was an easy mark for the middle part of the season. Last week against the Machine, Buchanan deposited four goals into his team's account, and Boyle cashed in his 401k to dish out five assists and a goal of his own. When Rabil, Buchanan and Boyle are on their game, the Cannons are impossible to deal with on the offensive end. But if you take one line of the triangle out, you're just left with two disconnected paths and the Cannons inexorably, inescapably, inevitably falter.

Eddie Vedder Earns AMPAS Invite, Explains 'Let It Go' Cover
Listen to Pearl Jam Radio on iHeartRadio
Eddie Vedder could have a hand in picking some of the next Oscar winners. The Pearl Jam frontman is one of 271 artists and executives invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Twelve of those got the invite from the Academy's music branch, including Pharrell Williams and this year's Best Original Song winners, "Let It Go" writers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. The invitations go to those the Academy feels have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures. And while Vedder has never earned an Oscar nod, he did pick up a Golden Globe award for his work on the Into the Wild soundtrack.
Vedder also recently connected himself to the Oscar-winning song "Let It Go." He sang a snippet of the Frozen hit during Pearl Jam's concert in Milan last week. Now Vedder's close friend Tom Tomorrow has explained that Eddie covered the song because his five-year-old daughter asked him to. Tomorrow said on Twitter that Vedder "wants everyone to know that his daughter sings it better."

He has an undescribed "medical condition," and even feeds himself by sucking up a food substitute through a straw under his mask.
Peter Beinart on why the front-runner should pass on his party's first primary, not just August's straw Poll.
However, two top 2016 contenders were excluded from CPAC but not from the straw poll.
It was nearly impossible in Arizona to bring a case against a straw purchaser.
After a public forum and a straw poll, it settled on J.D. Winteregg, a 32-year-old teacher from Troy, Ohio.
I can give them some money, and they will then manage to get me out on straw bail.
To these were fixed horizontal beams, the whole covered with mud and straw.
The figures were of straw, and no wonder yielded so readily to the spear.
Here was a vacant stall, except that it was half-filled with straw.
He gave the information carelessly, as though it did not matter to him a straw.
Old English streaw "stems or stalks of certain cereals," literally "that which is scattered or strewn," related to streowian (see strew), from Proto-Germanic *strawam "that which is scattered" (cf. Old Norse stra, Danish straa, Swedish strå, Old Frisian stre, Old Dutch, Old High German stro, German Stroh "straw"), from PIE *stere- "to spread" (see structure (n.)). The notion is of dried grain stalks strewn on a floor as carpeting or bedding. As a type of what is trifling or unimportant, attested from late 13c. Meaning "hollow tube through which a drink is sucked" is recorded from 1851.
To draw straws as a means of deciding something is recorded from 1832. The last straw is from the proverb of the camel. Straw poll is from 1932; earlier straw vote (1866). Straw hat first attested mid-15c. To clutch (or grasp or catch) at straws (1748) is what a drowning man proverbially would do.
To make a final, desperate effort: "The candidate made a few last attempts to discredit his opponent, but it was clear he was just grasping at straws."

Decades ago, an elite team of South Korean security officers carried out a covert mission in North Korea to kill the top officials responsible for an attack on the South Korean president. But when the successful team returned to the submarine to take them back to South Korea, a sniper shot all the officers to eliminate all traces of the mission from the outside world.
Officer Park Moo Yul (Park Shin Yen) sacrificed his own life to save his best friend, Lee Jin Pyo (Kim Sang Joong), who is the only survivor of the mission known as "Clean Sweep." To fulfill a promise to his best friend, Jin Pyo kidnaps Moo Yul's son, Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho), and raises him in a remote area of Thailand to become an elite combat soldier while patiently plotting to seek revenge on the "Council of Five" Korean government officials who planned operation Clean Sweep.
After earning a Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, the highly trained Yoon Sung returns to South Korea to work at the Blue House's National Communication Network Team and carry out Jin Pyo's plan for revenge under the codename "City Hunter."
Yoon Sung is aided in his quest by Bae Man Duk (Kim Sang Ho), a gambler he saved from thugs in Thailand, and by Kim Na Na (Park Min Young), a Blue House bodyguard who finds out his real identity and falls in love with him.
Meanwhile, Prosecutor Kim Young Joo (Lee Joon Hyuk), a son of one of the Council of Five, tries to root out corruption in the government while also trying to track and learn the real identity of the City Hunter.
Can Yoon Sung succeed or will his heart get in the way of his ability to follow through with his mission?
"City Hunter" is a 2011 South Korean drama series directed by Jin Hyuk. It is based on a famous novel by Japanese writer Tsukasa Hojo.

text: The Stealth wiki last edited by HardcoreGamer99 on 09/07/16 07:48AM View full history OverviewStealth has become a common concept in video games today. However, there are a few games that rely on it as the core of their gameplay. The Metal Gear, Tenchu, Thief and Splinter Cell franchises all feature stealth as a main gameplay aspect.Stealth has made its way into almost every First Person Shooter since the debut of GoldeneEye on the Nintendo 64 and especially Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation. Recent titles to apply the stealth concept to the FPS genre include Crysis and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.HistoryThe genre's earliest ancestor was the 1980 maze chase game Pac-Man, which laid the foundations for the stealth genre.[1] It emphasized avoiding and running away from enemies rather than fighting them, and had an influence on the design of Metal Gear.[2] Another early arcade maze game from 1980 that emphasized avoiding enemies was Lupin III, based on the anime of the same name, where the titular protagonist is a thief who must steal money and escape before being caught by police inspectors or guards. [3][4]Sega's 005, released for the arcades in 1981,[5] was an early game to employ stealth elements. Players controlled a spy who must avoid enemies as he makes his way through buildings and warehouses, where he will need to dodge the enemies' flashlights and use boxes as hiding spots. 005 holds the Guinness World Record for being the first stealth game.[6]Metal GearMetal Gear Solid is perhaps one of the best known stealth games.The ultimate example of a game that uses stealth as its core concept and basis for gameplay is the Metal Gear series of games. It is believed that the stealth concept came into being because of the technical limitations of the 8-bit MSX and NES platforms. No more than three enemies could be rendered on the screen at the same time, so creator Hideo Kojima had to implement a different style of gameplay, resulting in the revolutionary stealth-based gameplay of the original Metal Gear.In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX2 and its popular sequel Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation, each guard has a field of view in which they can spot the player or investigate the area. This field of view is visible to the player via their in game heads up display, as a part of their radar. A core component of gameplay is to avoid these fields of view, and maintain stealth while still accomplishing an objective. To maintain stealth, the player can utilize the environment by crawling through airducts or under cars, or simply hiding around corners. They can also use their equipment. Using a silenced firearm to kill guards, or using a chaff grenade to disable a security camera are common methods of maintaining stealth. Disabling guards by knocking them out or killing them will alert other guards if the body is discovered. In this situation, maintaining stealth includes hiding or disposing of the body, such as stuffing it into an available locker or if on a ship, dumping it overboard.While Metal Gear Solid has stealth elements, there are action combat sequences. If the player is detected, guards enter an alerted status, and the player will be forced to fight an overwhelming number of guards. During the alert sequence, the player can use weapons and other equipment to kill or disable reinforcements. The game remains in the alert sequence until the player finds a way to escape their detection. All boss characters are unavoidable, and must be fought.Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty introduced new abilities such as leaping over and hanging off of railings, opening and hiding in storage lockers, and sneaking up behind enemies to hold them at gunpoint for items and ammunition. The environment also had a greater impact on the stealth gameplay, taking into account factors such as weather, smell, atmosphere and temperature. The game also introduced a collective enemy AI, where the enemy guards work together in squads, can communicate with one another, and react in a more realistic manner. The game also expanded its predecessor's cover mechanic, with Snake or Raiden now able to take cover behind walls or objects and pop out to shoot, while enemies could also take cover and pop out to shoot at the player or throw grenades.Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots deviated from the stealth aspects more than any of the previous games in the series with much more action-oriented gameplay; many players opted to approach it more like an action game than a stealth game.Splinter CellAnother franchise that features the stealth concept is the Splinter Cell series. At first, the series seems very similar to the Metal Gear series of games. Where the two franchises differ is how they handle stealth. The guards in the Splinter Cell series have a wide cone of sight, so in order to remain unnoticed, players must utilize dark areas in order to maintain stealth. Gameplay features a light meter that tells players whether they are in a area of darkness suitable to maintain stealth. If the light level is low, guards cannot see the player. if light levels are high, they can spot the player from a good distance away.Unlike the Metal Gear series, detection can mean the automatic failure of a level. Often, the best course of action in the Splinter Cell series of games is to avoid detection altogether. Player weapons are a silenced pistol and a silenced automatic rifle, but they are not effective unless used to make headshots. Combat is discouraged and the player can get overwhelmed easily by a few enemy guards. Also differing from the Metal Gear series, the player cannot take as much damage and cannot carry any healing items in inventory, they have to be found and used on the spot.While the game does have action sequences, they are not the focus of the game. Objectives can change from mission to mission, requiring that you not be detected, or not kill, so it can be difficult at times. Later games in the series feature a sound meter. This meter indicates to the player how much sound they are making in relation to the environment, and if the sound levels are suitable to maintain stealth.

The Australian stock market closed lower in cautious trading after US and European stocks fell overnight.
However, some early falls of nearly 0.3 per cent were pared back to 0.14 per cent after the latest National Australia Bank monthly business survey on Tuesday showed business confidence increasing in the past month.
The Australian Stock Report's senior equity analyst Benny Sada said that survey had allayed fears about the domestic economy and provided a degree of support for the market.
"It was a very lacklustre day and coming up to the US and Australian earnings seasons trading activity is expected to be relatively subdued," he told AAP.
"We need to see earnings to justify run-ups in the share price and there will be clear evidence of that in the next few weeks.
The banks and energy stocks had some of the biggest falls.
Woodside Petroleum lost 28 cents to $41.74 and Oil Search fell six cents to $9.70 while Santos was flat at $14.26.
Among the banks, ANZ lost 28 cents to $33.59, National Australia Bank dropped 14 cents to $33.59, Westpac was 12 cents lower at $34.22 and Commonwealth Bank gave up earlier gains to close four cents down at $81.32.
Making news, discount retailer The Reject Shop recovered to close 23 cents, or 2.4 per cent, higher at $9.81 after announcing the appointment of former Brewery boss Ross Sudano as its new chief executive.
* At the close on Tuesday the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was eight points, or 0.145 per cent, lower at 5,510.9.
* The broader All Ordinaries index was down 7.8 points, or 0.14 per cent, at 5,498.5.
* The September share price index futures contract was six points lower at 5,472, with 21,693 contracts traded.
* The price of gold in Sydney was $US1,319.20 per fine ounce, up $US6.76 on Monday's price of $US1,312.44.
* National turnover was 1.4 billion securities worth $2.5 billion.

Serena, from North Carolina, asks:
I am looking to get rid of my computer, but I want to make sure that everything is off of my hard drive (banking info, etc.). How can I do this and be sure?
Serena, you are right to be cautious. Many people think that formatting a hard drive is the best thing to do in this situation. However, this still leaves behind traces of the data that you used to have on your computer, and undelete and data recovery tools can soon restore this information.
In 2003, students from MIT bought 158 used hard drives from eBay and other second hand sources. Credit cards numbers, financial information, data files, medical records, browsing histories, emails and more were all recovered from these disks, despite the fact that 60% of them were formatted before they were sold.
So, how do you make sure that your data is gone for good? You need to use a secure disk wipe utility. They used to be the preserve of government agencies, but now everyone can get a hold of software that will exceed or meet the Department of Defense standards for the secure deletion of data. Here's how to do it with Darik's Boot and Nuke, (DBAN).
1. First, make sure that all the data you want to keep is backed up and copied to another source, because once this process is complete, you will not be able to recover any data from your hard drive.
2. Download the free DBAN software from their website. It downloads as an ISO file.
3. Next, you need to burn this image to a CD-R or DVD-R. It is important that you burn it as an image, and not simply burn it to a disc. To do this on Windows 7, right-click on the DBAN ISO file and select Burn disc image.
Now click Burn to start the burn process.
If you are using XP or Vista, you will first need to download an ISO burn utility. You can find a free one here. Once installed, you just right-click on the DBAN ISO file and click Copy image to CD.
4. Now that you have Darik's Boot and Nuke on disc, you need to restart your computer and make it boot from your CD/DVD drive. Instructions on how to do this will vary depending on the manufacturer of your computer, but it usually involves pressing a function key during the boot up screen so that you can enter the BIOS settings screen and change the boot options to boot from the CD/DVD drive instead of the hard drive as it will be set to do by default.
Dell users should hit F12 a few times as soon as the computer restarts in order to get quick access to the one-time boot menu that will allow you to select the CD/DVD drive as a bootable option.
5. As soon as DBAN loads from the disk you created, you will be greeted with the options menu. For a default wipe, type autonuke and press Enter. This will begin the wiping process.
However, pressing simply pressing Enter will give you more options and allow you to choose what level of security you wish to employ in your data wipe.
6. Select the drive that you want to wipe and then type M.
7. Now select from the security options you are given. The DoD options are the standards used by the Department of Defense. The most secure option is the Gutmann Wipe, but this is also the longest method. DBAN recommend the last option, the PRNG Stream wipe as sufficient for most users, but the choice is yours. The spacebar will confirm your selection.
8. Make sure that the drive you want to wipe is still selected, then press F10 to start the erasing process.
9. The time required to complete the task will depend on the size of your disk, the amount of data on it, and the security method you chose. It can take several hours to complete, but you will soon have the peace of mind that ensures nobody will ever be able to recover any of your data from this hard drive again.

What can I do?A: This is the single most common question they get! They recommend you try Spot's Stew Natural Food for Dogs and add VitaGlo Dream Coat to his food every day! You can also try applying the Herbal Healing Salve directly to the hot spots to soften and soothe the irritated area. They believe many skin problems can be controlled or avoided with a natural diet. Some dogs develop skin problems or react negatively to ingredients commonly found in commercial pet foods such as artificial preservatives, colorings or other additives. Halo has created a natural diet; by AAFCO definition it cannot contain any artificial ingredients or be highly processed. Halo does not use meat meals; a protein source which can be of questionable quality and digestibility. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) have a proven anti-inflammatory affect within the skin and as such play a vital role in skin health. The Dream Coat is an excellent source of EFAs and their dog owners love the results they get. –Dr. Donna SpectorIf the skin condition does not improve within several weeks on the new food and Dream Coat supplement, contact your veterinarian to determine if your dog has an underlying medical condition. Q: I have an older dog that doesn't have a lot of energy anymore. Is there anything to perk her up?A: Many older pets do not drink enough water every day; as a result they suffer from mild dehydration which can cause very low energy levels. I recommend including canned food in each meal and encouraging water intake (ice cubes, new bowls/fountains, broths, etc) to help improve hydration and get that energy back. I also recommend a vitamin-mineral supplement to help supply antioxidants and B vitamins that can help support the immune system and energy levels. For best results I like to alternate the Daily Greens with the Vitamin-Mineral Mix every day. –Dr. Donna SpectorSometimes poor energy is a sign of a medical condition and they advise a health check-up with your veterinarian. Q: Why does my dog eat poop? Does he have a deficiency?A: Copraphagia (poop eating) is usually a nasty learned habit. While it is typically not caused by a medical problem or nutritional deficiency it is important to make sure your dog is getting a nutritionally balanced diet and not eating a poor quality food. Also have your vet check your dog for parasites or for conditions that could cause maldigestion or malabsorption. Remember if your dog routinely eats poop, they are more likely to acquire parasites and you should have them checked 2-3 times each year. Check out my article on copraphagia for more ideas on why your dog eats poop. Q: Why does my dog eat grass? Does he have a deficiency?A: Grass eating is not unusual in dogs. It is not usually associated with gastrointestinal illness or a deficiency. It is most likely a trait inherited from their wild ancestors in which wild dogs would consume prey that would have eaten plant material. Eating grass is not bad—just stay away from chemically-treated lawns and toxic plants. Give Halo's Daily Greens a try for the added phytonutrients! --Dr. Donna Spector Q: What can I do for my dog with arthritis?A: One of the most important things you can do for your dog with arthritis is to keep him lean. Unwanted extra pounds put additional stress on his joints and can increase the pain and discomfort he experiences. Check out my Weight Loss Tips if you needs help getting your dog to lose those pounds. An exercise plan is also critical for dogs with arthritis (swimming is great!)—it keeps them strong and flexible and also helps to keep the weight down. Halo makes a Hip & Joint Supplement containing glucosamine and chondroitin. Glucosamine has been proven effective at relieving pain in many pets with arthritis. Vitamin C plays a critical role in collagen synthesis and is also included in the supplement. Fatty acids can also exert an anti-inflammatory effect within arthritic joints and Dream Coat is an excellent source. –Dr. Donna SpectorSometimes limping or joint pain is a sign of a medical condition and they advise a health check-up with your veterinarian. Q: I am searching for a food that will be okay for my dog that has a history of pancreatitis. A: Pancreatitis varies in its severity but in general dogs that have had bouts of pancreatitis require a lower fat food. Ask your veterinarian how fat-restricted your dog's food should be. Halo Spot's Stew Canned Chicken Formula is their most fat-restricted food and has a 17% (DM%) fat content; followed by the Halo Spot's Stew Adult Dry Formula with 18% (DM%). Both have been used successfully in dogs with a history of pancreatitis. –Dr. Donna Spector Q: I am searching for a food that will be okay for my dog that has a history of urinary stones. A: It has been proven that the most important part of stone prevention is to increase the amount of water that your dog drinks every day*. When dogs drink more they make more urine. This urine is less concentrated (more dilute or watery) so the crystals are less likely to form into stones. Because they make more urine they urinate more frequently which also helps get rid of the stone-making substances. I recommend Halo's canned formulas because they have a high water content (82 to 85%) when compared to other canned foods (78%). This additional water is excellent for urinary health in all pets. –Dr. Donna Spector*There are many different types of urinary stones and some types will require very specific medication or dietary recommendations; ask your veterinarian what type of stone your dog has. Q: My vet said my dog is allergic to chicken. Is Halo okay for pets with food allergies?A: True food allergies are actually very uncommon—they account for only 10% of all pet allergies. Pets are often misdiagnosed with food allergy when what they really have is an adverse food reaction or food intolerance. Pets may react to artificial dyes, preservatives and additives in food or they may react to the quality of a protein source. For example, "chicken meal" is a rendered product that can have a variable composition and can vary greatly in its digestibility compared to real whole chicken. Adverse reactions may be more common with diets of lower digestibility. By choosing a natural diet like Halo, artificial ingredients and rendered meat meals will be avoided and thus lessen the potential for any adverse food reactions. The only way to definitely diagnose a food allergy in a pet is to perform an elimination diet trial—blood tests and skin tests are not reliable for this. Read my article about food allergies to learn more. –Dr. Donna SpectorSome pets do have true food allergies and even high quality natural foods like Halo could cause a reaction because of the type of protein included. If your pet is allergic to certain foods, read their labels thoroughly to identify all ingredients. Q: My vet told me my dog needs a high fiber food? Can I use Halo?A: While the vegetables that Halo uses provide an excellent source of fiber for digestive health, Halo should not be considered a high fiber food. For dogs that require extra fiber in their diet I often use Halo as the primary food and then mix in additional fiber—psyllium, canned pumpkin, carrots, potato skins—a combination of soluble and insoluble fiber for maximal digestive benefit. Ask your vet if this would be appropriate for your dog. –Dr. Donna Spector Q: Do you have anything for chronic eye discharge? A: Pets with short snouts ("peke faces"; brachycephalic) tend to have bent tear ducts. Debris can easily accumulate and clog up their tear ducts; causing tears or discharge to spill out on the face. When used properly the Cloud Nine Herbal Eyewash Kit can help keep discharge to a minimum and the eyes clean and comfortable. Read my article on proper eye cleaning. –Dr. Donna SpectorIf the eye discharge does not improve within several days or if your pet develops squinting, redness or pain, contact your veterinarian to determine if your dog has an underlying medical condition. Q: I've heard digestive enzymes are important to help my dog process food better. Do you carry any?A: Halo does not carry enzymes specifically—but they add prebiotics and probiotics to the dry cat and dog formulas to maximize digestive health. Probiotics are live bacteria that help restore the balance of good and bad bacteria. The prebiotics are essentially a food source for the probiotics and have been proven to stimulate the growth and function of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. –Dr. Donna SpectorIf your veterinarian has determined that your pet has a pancreatic enzyme deficiency he or she will require a true enzyme supplement. Q: My dogs have strong breath. Do you have anything to help with that?A: They believe that good breath starts with excellent digestive health. By choosing Halo natural dog food you are using the highest quality ingredients and the prebiotics and probiotics in their dry foods will help restore the balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria. Bad breath can also come from mouth problems—you should see your veterinarian routinely to make sure there isn't a problem with plaque, tartar or something more serious. Daily tooth brushing is also recommend to keep teeth and gums as healthy as possible. Try the new Spot's Stew Chew Sticks to keep your dog's mouth healthy and fresh. –Dr. Donna Spector Q: Is it okay for dogs to eat the cat food? A: I don't recommend routinely feeding healthy dogs the cat formulation of Spot's Stew. Halo cat formulas are designed with higher levels of protein and fat than what dogs require. This creates a food that is higher in calories and can lead to problems with obesity when fed to dog's long term. The vitamin/mineral balance is specific to cats as well. Dogs should stick with their canine formulas to reach optimal health. Q: My dog is overweight. My vet has recommended a prescription weight loss diet but I don't like the list of ingredients. Can I use Halo?A: Halo foods can be used successfully in a weight loss program. Halo donated food for a weight loss challenge to a New York City shelter (Bideawee) and I monitored the progress of 7 obese cats over 4 weeks—all successfully lost the desired amount of weight. Q: Is canned food bad for my dog's teeth?A: No. While many vets recommend dry food to "keep teeth clean and healthy" it is a fact that many dogs do not chew their food well enough to get any abrasive cleaning action from dry food. Whether you feed dry or canned food…the single most important thing for dental health is tooth brushing. It is a fact that by age three more than 80 percent of dogs show signs of gum (periodontal) disease and this is because most dog owners do not give their dogs proper dental care (DAILY tooth brushing and annual dental cleanings). Keep the canned food and start brushing! Their Mission To provide people and their pets with honest information and wholesome products to better the lives of animals and the people who love them. Halo, Purely for Pets evolved from three guiding principles: balance, nature and love.

Federal Land management has largely led to poor stewardship. Permanenty funding the Land and Water Conservation Act to provide $900 miilion annually for more land purchases is a bad decison. The feds should focus on managing the 25 pecent of the US that they already own.

Fusion Energy Education
"The basics of fusion are deceptively simple: the process powers the sun and other stars, and it all takes place when atomic nuclei collide at high speed. But many questions remain. How can humans develop and exploit fusion energy? Is there a way to convert it more efficiently into useful mechanical, electrical, or thermal energy? This intriguing site, created by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, presents an online fusion course designed to teach students and others about how fusion works and how it might be harnessed in the future. Visitors can try out The Guided Tour to get started, or they can click on one of the Main Topics. These include Energy Sources and Conversions, Two Key Fusion Reactions, and Creating the Conditions for Fusion. Each section contains graphics, explanatory text, and various diagrams. The site also includes charts which can be printed out for classroom use."

Piplup (Diamond & Pearl 93)
Piplup (Japanese: ポッチャマ Pochama) is a Water-type Basic Pokémon card. It is part of the Diamond & Pearl expansion.

Release information
This card was originally released in the Diamond & Pearl expansion with artwork by Ken Sugimori. In March 2007, a holographic variant of this print was one of the cards available in the US Spring 2007 Collector's Tins as a special sneak preview before the actual release of the expansion. It was subsequently released outside the US in Special Edition Blister Packs later that year. This holographic variant was released again in the Piplup Classic Trio Box in January 2009, as well as being made available in several European countries as part of various Summer tour events taking place between July and October 2009.
Another holographic variant was released at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2007. This print features a gold foil globe with "San Diego '07" in the bottom right corner of the artwork. The card was also later reprinted in the Diamond & Pearl Trainer Kit. A promotional parallel foil variant with a "Diamond & Pearl" stamp was also released as part of a Burger King promotion in July 2008. In Japan, the card was reprinted as a promotional mini card as part of a 7-Eleven Poké Ball Lottery campaign in March 2007. This version, measuring 4.5cm × 6.5cm, was randomly packaged with certain 7-Eleven products in select stores.
The card was reprinted with different artwork by Atsuko Nishida as a DP Black Star Promo. It was released in June 2007 in Diamond & Pearl Blister Packs. The Japanese version was released through a Meiji Chocolate promotion in February 2007. It was reprinted again in POP Series 6 with different artwork by Atsuko Nishida, the Japanese version available through a trade event at the 25th Next Generation World Hobby Fair in January 2007. Holographic variants of the POP Series 6 print were released in June 2008 in Turtwig Starter Blister Packs, and again in August 2008 in the Diamond & Pearl Collection Set. The card was reprinted yet again in POP Series 8 with different artwork by Atsuko Nishida, the Japanese version available through a McDonald's promotion in May 2007.
Peck is a move in the Pokémon games that Piplup can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Diamond.

Sensible thoughtful design of neckwear
By Rabbit
from New York City
Best Uses
This is a nice product that I have wanted manufacturers to produce but I guess they have their own reasons for not producing it. I wear it all Winter with any type of dress.It is safe and stylish. The other kind of neck wear like the Scarf measured five feet long. With that wrapped around the neck there is always a chance of choking accidentally. This one with short length is great.I brought one after the other because of the safety feature ( not to mention about the stylish nature ). It is simply classy.I think Hammacher Schlemmer has life time guarantee on their products.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
