Kai Ryssdal: If you believe the adage about real estate -- that bit about the three most important things being location, location, location -- then one would think there are few places worse to own a home than the Gaza strip. Israel's got a naval blockade going. There's the not-incidental risk of rocket fire and bombings. The political situation is fluid, at best.
And yet, home prices are up sharply. Reese Erlich reports from Gaza City.
Reese Erlich: On a wide street packed with expensive homes and condos, real estate broker Essam Mortja walks with confidence.
Essam Mortja: This is the best place in the world. Real estate markets collapsed everywhere else. But here, it just goes up.
Mortja is so bullish, he's about to put his own house on the market. The three-bedroom/two-bath house will go for $900,000. What makes it worth that kind of money?
Mortja: You have a great view of the Mediterranean. The whole world wants to own property here. It's clean and safe. It's the best neighborhood in Gaza.
1.6 million Gazans are packed into 140 square miles of land, one of the highest population densities in the world. So like Manhattan and San Francisco, limited space plus high demand equals high prices. But only a small number of business people and professionals returning from lucrative jobs abroad can afford it.
A forklift lowers a pallet of concrete blocks at a construction site as Suhail Halima looks on. The wealthy businessman just paid $1 million for this lot in downtown Gaza City. Halima estimates real estate prices have gone up 20 percent since last year.
Suhail Halima: The U.S. dollar and Jordanian dinar have lost value. Gold is at an all-time high. So land is a good investment.
Israeli authorities have periodically bombed and sent tanks into Gaza. They say it's a necessary response to Palestinian attacks on Israel. Halima says even the threat of future military action hasn't cooled the real estate market.
Halami: The Israeli army destroyed one of my warehouses worth $1.6 million. We rebuilt the warehouse, but the land kept its value.
While land is a preferred investment for the rich, it remains unaffordable to the vast majority of Gazans, whose median income is $800 per year. In addition, a lot of housing stock was destroyed or damaged during the three-week war with Israel that ended in January 2009.
Ziad el Zaza, a former deputy prime minister, says the Hamas government has tried to provide help.
Ziad el Zaza: The government distributed $69 million to help those whose farms or houses were destroyed in the war. The government has recently sold land at subsidized prices to the poor. The recipients then spend their own money to construct apartments.
But so far these government efforts are limited, and home ownership is just a dream for most Palestinians.
Back on the ritzy side of Gaza City, real estate broker Mortja hopes to find more customers for pricey homes. He's set up a website in an effort to lure investment from Palestinians living in the U.S.
Mortja: Come and invest. You'll make more money here. Now you can invest in real estate and see a profit in just a couple of weeks.
Moratja is bullish. But with political instability still a threat here, no one can really say how long real estate prices will keep going up.
In Gaza City, I'm Reese Erlich for Marketplace.
Ryssdal: Reese's story was funded by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

Beware relief effort scams following natural disaster
Saanich police are reminding people wishing to donate to relief efforts following the Japanese earthquake to be mindful of where your money is going.
"We see scams, as a matter of routine, after major incidents like this. We saw it after the tsunami in 2004, and after the Haiti earthquake last year," said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.
It's become common to receive e-mails or even phone calls from individuals claiming to be from reputable organizations requesting donations to help relief efforts, but they may not be who they say they are.
"Donate only to credible agencies. Mail a cheque, go in to an charity's office, go directly to their website – as opposed to a pop-up saying 'click here to donate," Jantzen said. "There's little to nothing we can do about it if you do get scammed because much of the time it's done offshore."
Chris Freimond, spokesperson for the Red Cross, says his organization is aware that its name is used by scammers.
"We don't have people proactively soliciting funds," Freimond said, referring to callers and door-to-door collectors claiming to be from the Red Cross. He says the best way to ensure your money winds up in the right hands is by instigating the donation process yourself, through a phone call, web address or in person.
"There are a number of ways people can donate, which we believe are secure and will ensure your donation goes to the right place," Freimond said.


text: In a World Invaded By Space, Two Producers Launch a Film Project No One Wants to SeeMike Fahey7/08/11 4:30pmFiled to: Lights, Camera, Wha?Space InvadersMoviesFilmArcadeTaitoLorenzo di Bonaventura88EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Not satisfied with aiding in the creation of the childhood-stealing Transformers and G.I. Joe movies, producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura has teamed up with Odd Lot Entertainment's Gigi Pritzker to bring Space Invaders to the silver screen. Oh joy. When last we checked in with the Space Invaders franchise, Warner Bros. was looking to option the rights to create a big budget picture based on the iconic rows of descending sprites. Apparently that deal fell through, and now Lorenzo di Bonaventura has added the 1978 arcade classic to his to-do list of franchises to screw up. Lorenzo also served as the producers on Transformers and G.I. Joe, and is working on a remake of Pet Sematary and the Asteroids film. This is obviously not a big fan of original ideas we're dealing with here. Luckily di Bonaventura isn't writing the flick. He and his producing buddy are currently looking for a writer with the chops to produce a deep and meaningful film based on a video game with no real backstory other than "here come the aliens!" Pretty sure that movie has already been made several times over. Just take one of those and periodically send a warbling pixel spaceship flying across the top of the screen.

ARMY DAYS: WWII Signal Corps Sketches
My dad did not often sign his work. When it comes to sketches like these, signing one leads me to identify others. Else, I wouldn't be able to positively I.D. many others, as his style was changing at that point in time. Not that they're anything above the norm, but they just help with the continuity.

Coogy: BA-ROOM! 4th of July In April
I had somewhat planned to save this Coogy for the 4th of July (American Independence Day for you non USA-ers) and about as close as I could get to fireworks. However, my Uncle John dropped a comment in my previous post for Coogy, titled TERMINATION, that the title might signify that postings of the strip have come to an end. No such thing! Uncle John, this one goes out to you.

Linus The Lionhearted: The Flyin' Lion
In case you missed the comment a few posts back, Brubaker has mentioned and provided a link for "The Flyin' Lion", which was the pilot that sold the Ed Graham Prods series of Linus The Lionhearted. If you need more background on the show, just punch Linus into the searcher at the top of the page. Here's the comment:
select "Linus the Lionhearted" and click episode 4.
I'll just mention that although the soundtrack cover above has Graham's New York office stamped on it, all of the writing, animation, etc., was totally produced in Los Angeles (although not necessarilly the soundtrack itself.)
Thanks Bru!

Coogy NY Tribune Promo: PEnnsylvania 6-4000 (In Canada, 808-509)
Hey Spectorphiles. Here's the sales promo by the New York Herald Tribune for Coogy, from 1951. The written style of the copy was certainly not by my father's hand, but I suspect it might have been written by Harold Straubing, at that time an editor for the Trib, and subsequently he and his wife Helen (including Geisha, the gentlest German Shepard you'd ever want to meet) great lifelong friends of the family.
If you read my previous Coogy post then you'll notice the "Tennis Anyone" from which it's referenced.

22 secondary roads remain closed in VDOT's Culpeper District
CULPEPER — Crews from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are continuing storm cleanup efforts following Hurricane Sandy. In Central Virginia, 20 secondary roads are closed at this time, due to high water and downed power lines. The majority of the closures are in western Fauquier County.
VDOT continues its coordination with utility companies to safely and efficiently repair fallen power lines and reopen roads.
As many across the state return to work and school, VDOT reminds motorists that leaf-covered roads cause slick driving conditions. Avoid driving over wet leaves if possible.
For the latest information on road closures, visit VDOT's traffic and travel website, www.511Virginia.org. The site also has live traffic camera images for many major highways, including Interstate 64, I-66 and Routes 29 and 250 in Central Virginia. Motorists can call 511 from any telephone in Virginia for road and traffic conditions on all major highways in the state. Call 800-367-7623 24 hours a day to report highway-related problems or request information about Virginia's highways.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

Catching up with Mat Kearney before two O.C. gigs
Songwriters usually choose an observational, stream-of-consciousness or personal approach with their lyrics. Mat Kearney definitely steers toward the latter on Young Love, his third studio effort and first through Universal Republic, which debuted atop the iTunes album chart and landed at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 last summer.
The Eugene, Ore., native, who plays two shows at as many venues in O.C. next week, compares his method to a fact-based filmmaker.
"On this record, I learned that I'm much better writing songs that are more like documentaries than fiction," said Kearney, 33, in a phone interview from his home in Nashville. "There are really literal, personal stories" derived from family and friends' lives.
A prime example is the album's stark, acoustic-based closer, "Rochester," performed in a manner reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska."
"Honestly, it's me doing the best Springsteen impression I have. I wrote it about my father," a rough man who ran an illegal gambling ring in New York, escaped an abusive life and struggled to raise three boys. "It's the most gut-wrenching, redemptive song on there."
How did Kearney's parents react?
"I got nervous about putting it out because it's so vulnerable," he admitted. "When I played it for my mom on acoustic guitar, she started crying and said 'it's the most beautiful thing you've ever written.' Then I sent my dad a CD. He listened to it every night while driving home from work and called me in tears."
Another striking tune, "Down," concerns the recession and a family's home foreclosure: "It's probably the most faith-driven, hopeful and heavy song ... it ended up being a beautiful moment on the record."
Carefree and infectious first single "Hey Mama" was inspired by the first time the pop/rock singer/guitarist met his wife, in an Anthropologie store. "I was trying to pretend I needed her opinion. She was like, 'Those clothes are ugly and I know what you're trying to do, so back off.' It's just the sassy and flirty side of things."
Penned in 15 minutes, the song's stomping rhythm became a launching pad for other beat-heavy songs on Young Love: "Usually I'm bored by most singer-songwriter records; they don't do much for me. And there are limitations when you're home by yourself ... I started clapping and programming big 808 kick drums. All of a sudden I had this really fun groove that you couldn't create with a band."
Sublime vocals (akin to Chris Martin crossed with Adam Duritz) mixed with spoken-word cadences (as on current single "Ships in the Night") have been a frequent Kearney hallmark since 2006's Nothing Left to Lose. Released on Aware/Columbia, that album sold more than 400,000 copies, spawned three Top 20 adult pop radio hits and multiple placements on television series. Three years later, the solid but more streamlined City of Black & White moved a relatively modest 100,000 units.
"I tend to want to do the opposite than what I did before," Kearney says. "When I wrote Nothing Left to Lose, there was more of a hip-hop influence. With City of Black & White, I wanted to make a singer-songwriter record but was really having trouble writing that way.
"For this (latest) record I made a few loop-driven tracks, and I felt like some life was injected back into my music and songwriting. I just kept going down that rabbit hole. The more beats, the more fun and bombastic the songs were, the more they resonated with me."
The percolating, pop-inflected "Count on Me" boasts a playful innocence, and Kearney got background help from much younger vocalists.
"We did these stomps and claps. I was singing and each line was the beginning of the alphabet." (He demonstrated.) "Then I started counting up from one. It became this fun sort of Beatles song that had a cheeky form to it. That just landed out of nowhere. Then we got our producer's kids downstairs, asked if they could sing 'ABC' and coaxed them. They got really embarrassed and it took an hour."
Power pop/rock whiz Matt Mahaffey – who has collaborated with, among others, Pink and Hellogoodbye – collaborated with Kearney on the whimsical female courting tune "She Got the Honey."
"He moved to Nashville and I'm a fan from his Self days. I jumped at the chance to be around [someone] that has worked with Beck, Danger Mouse and all these really talented artists. We're actually talking about getting together and writing again."
Unsurprisingly, Kearney's formative influences in high school were progressive, '80s-spawned hip-hop acts like De La Soul (name checked in "Honey"), A Tribe Called Quest and the Pharcyde. "I rejected the whole Bob Dylan/Beatles/hippie thing until later in my life because I was a graffiti skater kid. The backpacker hip-hop music really resonated with me."
He didn't pick up a guitar until junior year at CSU Chico, where the English Lit major first gained confidence in his writing: "There'd be a thesis on some book I read and I'd turn it into this confessional story about someone close to me. The teachers would say, 'This is the most ridiculous but awesome approach to writing a paper.'
"I would make everything personal to find pleasure in it. That's when I realized maybe this writing thing is for me ... I (created) these little songs and (discovered) this is a glove that fit."
Eventually relocating to Tennessee, Kearney's indie CD Bullet emerged in 2004 and the track "Trainwreck" garnered a Dove Award. (The Christian music industry has been a prominent supporter since the start of Kearney's career in the mid-2000s.)
Kearney played L.A.'s Mayan Theatre last month and returns for a two-week Golden State trek that starts Tuesday at House of Blues Anaheim and continues Wednesday at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano.
"The goal with this tour was to selfishly put some shows together in California when the weather's nice and get off the beaten track a little bit. People won't have to travel downtown and fight the traffic."
Among the cozier rooms and places Kearney has never been in is Capo: "It will be the full band with all cylinders firing. There should be a bunch of different emotions; all the rocking and intimate moments."
Fans can also expect to hear the breezy new Afropop song "Young Dumb and in Love." Kearney said it almost didn't make the album, but goes down great in concert.
"Every time that guitar riff comes in, everyone cheers and gets excited."
Mat Kearney plays Tuesday at House of Blues Anaheim (1530 S. Disneyland Drive) and Wednesday at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano (33157 Camino Capistrano). Tickets are $20 for either venue.

Does a program that does this exist already? (Sprite animation)
Thanks for the ideas. This project is not really off the ground yet. That version of the app that you may have downloaded was essentially abandoned. If you check the post above yours, you'll see a link to the more up to date thread on iDevApps. We are currently looking for a Cocoa programmer to get some work going.
You've definitely got me thinking about the thumbnails.

Gargantuan Gougères
Guests at Bar Boulud are greeted with these golden French cheese puffs, with grated Gruyère cheese and the mild Basque pepper Piment d'Espelette. Almost twice the size of ordinary gougères, they're a bit like crispy, cheesy, slightly spicy popovers.
Slideshow: More Hors D'Oeuvre Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes 30 gougères
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Piment d'Espelette
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
- Fleur de sel and cracked black pepper
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large saucepan, combine the milk with the water, butter and salt; bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Add the flour all at once with the Piment d'Espelette and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the flour is thoroughly incorporated. Reduce the heat to low, return the saucepan to the burner and cook the gougère dough, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away from the side of the pan, about 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the dough cools slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring briskly between additions to thoroughly incorporate each egg.
Drop 3-tablespoon mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Top each round with 1 tablespoon of cheese; sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper.
Bake the gougères for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° and bake for 30 minutes longer, switching the baking sheets halfway through, until the gougères are puffed and browned. Turn off the oven, propping the door ajar with a wooden spoon. Let the gougères rest in the oven for about 30 minutes longer, until crisp on the outside but still steamy within. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make Ahead
The gougères can be frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost in a 350° oven for about 8 minutes.
Suggested Pairing
Burgundian white wines pair well with these rich cheese puffs, but they can also be expensive. To find bargains, look to the less well-known southern part of Burgundy, the Mâcon.

View our complete coverage of the 2012 UCI Cyclocross World Championships in Koksijde, Belgium on our Full Coverage page.
by Robbie Carver
For the fourth consecutive year, Marianne Vos displayed her complete dominance over women's cyclocross, leading this year's race from pole to pole. Far more exciting was the battle for second, as Belgian Sanne Cant disrupted a Dutch sweep, taking the bronze behind Daphny van den Brand in an exciting last lap that saw Katie Compton rally, then fumble, and Sanne van Paassen just barely lose contact before the final sprint. Americans Nicole Duke and Meredith Miller came in 19th and 20th, respectively, with Amy Dombroski 23rd and Kaitlin Antonneau 26th.
At the gun, two things became immediately apparent: that this was Vos' race to lose, and that Compton wouldn't be there to make that happen. British champion Helen Wyman launched into the holeshot, with Daphny van den Brand making an early bid for the lead. But within moments, it was the reigning champion Vos, who only lost a single race this season (she took second place in her first World Cup of the season, on this very course), coming around Van den Brand to stamp her authority on the race. As Vos stormed off the front, Compton struggled with a poor start, missing her pedal, and a crash that saw her off her bike, shaking her head as riders raced by. Clearly on strong form, it would take the determined American champion half the race to catch the lead chase group, an effort that ultimately cost her the podium.
It was Vos' compatriot, World Cup winner Daphny van den Brand, who did her best to take the race to Vos, clinging to the world champion's wheel for the first half of the opening lap before Vos' incredible strength made that wheel just too tough to follow. By the time Vos came around for the second lap, she already had 10 seconds, and she slowly built that up over the remainder of the race.
The famous sand dunes of Koksijde proved difficult for all the riders, as each – from Vos at the front, to a cartwheeling Helen Wyman further back – bobbled and struggled against the deep, shifting terrain. But it was Vos' ability to ride the short, steep climbs, and to power through the grass, that saw her lead grow.
It was not a race lacking excitement, however, as behind Vos, the battle for second remained undecided until the final sprint. As Van den Brand did her best to maintain the gap over those chasing behind, Sanne Cant, Katerina Nash, Sophie de Boer and Sanne van Paassen organized themselves and began drawing the Dutch racer back into the fold. America's hope, Katie Compton, was nowhere to be seen.But the American champion was determined to make up for her poor start, and as the lead chase crossed the line for the third time, Compton stormed onto the finishing stretch, her head down, and she charged up to the leaders. Indeed, for the second and third laps, Compton posted the fastest times of any racer on the course. Sanne Cant, not wishing to see the American make contact, attacked hard into the sand, bringing Van den Brand into sight and momentarily splitting up the chase, dislodging Nash and De Boer.
Further back, American Nicole Duke was having an incredible ride, sitting around 16th, with Meredith Miller not far behind her. Kaitlin Antonneau and Amy Dombroski were also riding well in the top 30. It was clear, however, that the sand belonged to the Dutch and Belgian riders.
At the front, Vos – who never looked fully comfortable in the sand, despite her incredible ride – stumbled, offering the spectators a bit of drama as behind her Cant caught Van den Brand, Compton now right on their heels. The battle now was for silver, with Cant, Van den Brand, Compton and Van Paassen crossing the line together with two to go, over 30 seconds behind Vos.
As all the riders struggled in the sand, it was clear that Compton's effort had cost her dearly, as she strained to keep contact with the two Dutchwomen, Van Paasen and Van den Brand, as they pushed the pace and increased daylight between themselves and the American champion. Cant, however, no doubt boosted by the home crowd, clung to the two chasers and her hopes for to be the first Belgian woman to medal at Worlds. As Americans held tight to the hope that Compton would find that extra little bit, the Belgians cheered on their own to disrupt the Dutch sweep.
As the riders made their way into the final lap, the big question was: could Cant unseat the two Dutchwomen? But Compton was not satisfied with fifth place, and clawed her way back onto the lead chasers just as they crossed the line. It was a last ditch move, however, as Cant attacked hard into the sand, answered by Van den Brand, once again dislodging Compton. Van Paassen, also, proved unable to respond.
From then on, the battle for second was an exciting Dutch vs. Belgian affair, as Van den Brand attacked Cant, got a gap, but then bobbled on the steep ride-up that each of the riders struggled to clear, allowing Cant to catch back on. For a brief moment all four latched back together, elbowing into turns, and the hope that Compton could pull out another silver briefly rose again. But a significant bobble by Compton at the base of the run-up ended that hope, and Compton's race – marred by the difficulties that have plagued her all season – was over.
Over 40 seconds after Vos posted up for her fifth world title, Cant unleashed a final bid for silver, dislodging Van Paassen, and the Belgian led into the finishing stretch with Van den Brand tucked in behind her. Cant seemed to know her lot was bronze – even as Van den Brand sprinted around for silver, the Belgian raised her hands in celebration of her podium position. Sanne van Paassen followed a few seconds behind, with Compton and an impressive Nikki Harris crossing shortly thereafter."Sanne[Cant] came back in the last section," said Van den Brand. "It was a very tough section to give full gas but I was sure in the sprint. I was the strongest at the end of the race as I felt like I had enough to give at the end."
When asked what she's thinking as she dominates the race, Vos responded, "I just block my thinking – I just think about the next section coming up and how long it is. I try to go fast on the straight sections and save energy on the next section or so. The crowds were also fantastic – I surely noticed the cheers!"
As for Vos' future in the sport, she responded, "It depends on how it goes with the team and the Netherlands Cycling Federation. For now, the 2012 Olympics is most important, along with the World Championships. But when I am racing 'cross, it becomes the most important. The first goal for me is always the first race that comes."
When asked about women's equality in cycling, Vos responded, "In this race – already cyclocross is parallel with the men. It would be nice though if women's cycling was more popular in general. But it is a vicious cycle with sponsoring and the media with women's cycling though.""I had a really bad start," said Compton. "I missed my pedal and then I crashed, lost a bunch of spots and had to start chasing. In the sand you can't pass, so I got stuck going slower than I wanted to and just got tired. This season seems like a cluster-f***," she continued. "Nothing's really gone well so it's frustrating. It's good that [next year's Worlds] is in the US. I want to do a full World Cup schedule at some point. So it might be tough if I spend more time here in Europe. I may have jet lag. But right now I just want to have some down time then think about next year. I just like racing in the US, but I need to be in Europe to race against these girls and race on harder courses to get better. I have to look at the program and plan it. If I spend more time in Europe that's good too because here I have like my second family – a home away from home."
"I rode my own race for the first half," said an excited Sanne Cant. "I started to get closer to Daphny, so I thought, 'why not go for the podium?' But I had a lot of people still on my wheel. My plan was to lose a rider on each lap and to hit the last sand section first." Cant sees her medal as an example for cyclocross women in Belgium – a step towards helping the women's racing scene in cyclocross to gain more media attention. "The World Championships was my ultimate goal this season. Even though the Belgians expect a medal in every category, I wasn't nervous after seeing the Juniors and U23s the day before. And leading up to the race all my preparation was perfectly in order – I did all my training well. And it all worked out!"
"I'm disappointed," said Kaitlin Antonneau, who finished 26th. "The only positive thing I can think of is that I did better than last year. I tried my best. But I can't be disappointed with my season even if [today] didn't go as well as I wanted."
Amy Dombroski, who had to skip the US Nationals because of illness, was pleased with how her day unfolded. "I'm happy with how it went since the last two weeks, I didn't even know if I'd be here riding. I've just been feeling so awful. Technically, I think I was solid. The thing you have to remember when you mess up is that everyone is messing up here, so you can't get angry about it. I think I'm going to finish out the season because I'm starting to feel better and better. It can only get better from here," she added. "It was a long stretch of time when I was feeling awful. Here I am, in the cyclocross capital of the world, and everyone's talking about all the races and the training and I'm just sitting on the couch. It was a trying period but I learned a lot from it. If you are racing so much and start to feel rough, you can't just race through sickness here because then you'll bury yourself in a hole like I did. People are always telling athletes to back off and take some more rest but the way you actually learn this lesson is by falling in that hole and finding your way out."
"I was crashed out by a Polish rider on the last sand section," said Joyce Vanderbeken. "She fell so I tried to go around since there was enough room. But just as I tried to pass she threw her bike in front of me."
"After watching the videos and talking to enough people before getting here, I knew what to expect," said Meredith Miller, who had never raced on the course before. "When I got here on Thursday and rode it, I wasn't overwhelmed because it was what I expected. This is definitely about as hard as it gets. And in the days of pre-riding, I wasn't really going race pace because I wanted to try and save everything for today. So today was much harder than anything I've ridden in the last couple of days! We don't have anything like this sand in the US. It's one thing to ride across it but a completely other experience to ride down it and know how to dismount while keeping your momentum. I came here with no expectations, finished 20th, was hoping for better than that but it is what it is."

For one night, the Vancouver Cannots.
• Red Fisher's game column
• Stubbs: 40 years of Habs-Nux history: just don't ask Reggie
• Pat Hickey on Alain Vigneault
• Pierre Ladouceur's game analysis
To do that he would need another 246 wins to pass Plante . If he averaged 40 wins a season it would take 6.15 seasons that would make him only 29 if he sticks it out.
I don't agree that Kostitsyn is "back to normal." He's much more involved and physical than last year, even though he hasn't scored in a few games. But neither have his former linemates. I think JM should put the Pleks line back together.
Fearless prediction: Carey will eventually become the Habs all time leader in regular season wins.
I'm sure they will have to do some juggling and be creative. It all depends on your point about a self-imposed cap. If they have one, they will need to move players to resign Stamkos. Stamko's cap hit won't exceed $7m, or at least that would be my guess. As pointed out earlier, the market correction for mid to lower tierd players will continue, so really who knows. My guess, is Yzerman will do a very good job and he has a pretty decent base in place now.
Bugs. That gold medal winning team was so stacked that they could have probably won with you between the pipes.
Many problems in Tampa..
Like someone pointed out below, they're attendance is pathetic, so spending to the cap limit will be a challenge unless the current owners are willing to take it in the teeth for a while.
2nd, they'll also have to re-sign Hedman, and juding by his excellent 2nd year in the league, he'll command the big bucks too one day. And Ohlund's monster contract will bite them in the behind next year and for the next 3 after that.
3rd, they lack goaltending, and good goaltenders today will set you back 4+ mill per year.
4th, they botched it at the draft this year like you pointed out yesterday, passing up on an excellent player like Skinner and drafting Connolly instead.
So, factor in all of those problems, and it ain't so rosey in Tampa..
But, let people believe that they're the greatest thing on earth…..
"These head movies make my eyes rain" -Simple Jack
I got AK at under 64.5 pts, with Triple X and Tom Nickle.
Tampa is going to have money issues. Next year, the team has about $38M committed to 12 players (1 goalie, 4 D, and 7 Fs). Signing Stamkos for $8M would leave $14M to sign a goalie, at least 2 D, and 4 forwards. Some money will need to be left for signing Hedman and Downie the following year.
The problem is their defence, highly suspect after Hedman and Ohlund (whose contract is too long as well), wildcard goaltending and weak defence is going to cost them if they're going to live and die on Stamkos's production.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
In his head he's been retired since Sather gave him that ridiculous money.
Cammy,Gionta and Gomez all signed through 2014 @ $18m. If Tampa has Stamkos, St. Louis and Vinnie for $20m, Considering they'll produce the Habs trio by a wide-margin.
Another question to consider is can the team spend to that cap? Tampa is averaging fewer than 16K per game in attendance; ownership could very well have a self-imposed cap on the team, which is much lower than the NHL's.
He does.
I'm just makin' the assumption V's relationship with the new owner and GM is amicable and, if the destination were agreeable, he'd be willin' to entertain' the possibility.
If I'm not mistaken, Vinny's got a no movemnet clause…
So he can't be waived, sent to the minors, or be traded without his consent.
He can decide to stay home and they still have to pay him, on the cap too..
"These head movies make my eyes rain" -Simple Jack
I got AK at under 64.5 pts, with Triple X and Tom Nickle.
Tampa is about 10 million under the cap Mike…plenty of money moving forward. The key for them will be like with us, having an affordable youth group moving along contributing to the team …and not spending too big on goaltending. Their forward core is good enough to go Pittsburgh style with though…they are fine.
Unless Yzerman wants nothin' but Bill Guerins fillin' out the balance of his roster, or wants to go the Loafs route to support Marty, Vinny, and the other Stevie, I have to think he's gonna have to lose either Vinny or Stamkos, and it won't be Stamkos.
It's gonna turn out to be one of those lopsided trades you get when a gun is to the GM's head, which is the only way I can see the other side of the trade takin' on Vinny's terms.
Or maybe Stevie Y. lucks out on the prospects front and keeps both. I suppose there are worse problems to be had.
Ok listen up, you doorknob…
Vinny's contract expires in 2048……Hamrlik's contract is up after this year.
Marty's contract if for another 4 years at 4 or 5 mill per year, and he will be 40 when it's done…..Cammy's in his prime making 1 million more, so that one is to our advantage. At worst I'll say it cancels out.
And Gomez is done in 2014.
So please tell me how a franchise like Tampa can build their goaltending, defense and 3 forward lines when 20+ mill is gonna be committed to 3 players for a minimum of another 4 years?
Go eat your cereal, please….

I agree %100.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry with 3rd line success.
darche is an honest guy – he will give you a few good games. Pouliot is the only player on the team who is not a top 6 forward who has the potential to develop into one. I think JM is the only guy in the city who doesn't get that. He BP has had a 2 game trial with G-G.
BTW – I am very impressed with the physicality he's bringing to the game.
If only he could stay on his feet….
Gomez, Cammy and Hammer are 19.5 million combined.
So why cant Tampa have their 3 players for 20 million??
Are you going to bark all day little doggy?
Or are you going to bite?
Thank you screwed-up ownership in TB nixing the Vinny deal last year, can't imagine having that nightmare contract on the Habs books. Not sure who'd want to take him, that length, that cap hit… all the GMs dumb enough to take it on are already capped out or too poor.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
This is a perfect example of a rule being put in place to stop the deliberate act of shooting the puck over the glass to relieve the pressure. Instead of a ref making a judgement call, it's carte blanche.
Dumb de dumb dumb!
"Without the strength of the past, the team may face a choice – to win, or to be French-Canadian?" — Ken Dryden
Not to mention Marty's 35, if he loses a step in his skating it's going to hurt them badly. Their top prospect had hip issues as junior player and refused to get medical screening before the draft as well. Guy taken right after him is making himself the rookie sensation of the NHL.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Last nights win was Carey Prices 68th moving him ahead of Richard Sevigny and Jocelyn Thibeault. Next up are Brian Hayward and Rick Wamsley.
There already is a temporary agreement – the Kovy Amendment – in the CBA that will handcuff Stevie Y. If ever there was pressure to move Vinny, it's just about now.
Stamkos apparently will want 9 mill per year…
So I'm sure the Lightning will be forced to sing him to a 15 year deal also, with the money spread out like Kovy's deal. And expect this to be done before the season ends, or shortly after. Because once the new CBA is discussed, these lifetime contracts will probably be illegal. And if they're still accepted in the new CBA, they'll have crazy regulations that you'll have to follow.
So, he will get his money and crazy term, simply because he's Stamkos. He deserves it, but don't expect Tampa to be successful.
Him, Vinny and Marty will cost them over 20 mill per year on the cap.
No team can compete with that chunk going to 3 guys, especially when one of them isn't even worth a bag of smarties…

@ joeybarrie
-Father time is cathing up with Knuble, his career is ending
-Guerin is done.
-Langenbrunner is also slowing down huge.
-Who cares about Zherdev.
-Backes would be amazing!
Nah, just got an eye for the obscure.
Guevremont is Rypien thirty years from now.
Ahh, the burdens of expectation (remember those?).
Based on one game – following a six-game winning streak(!) – the morose ultramaroons out this way are making out like the Canucks lost to the 1975 Capitals.
I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel insulted.
Happy with the win last night…
Just too bad that the 3rd line is playing so well, and that we can't take Pouliot outta there and give him more minutes. It's a good problem for the Habs, seeing that the 3rd line is playing excellent hockey, but Benny should be playing in the top 6 instead of Lapierre.
Max has had 3 years to prove he can be a consistent player, and he still cannot do it. He has 2 good games, followed by 7 invisible ones.
And I can't believe I;m saying this, but Benny's been one of our most involved players all year. He doesn't miss a chance to finish his checks, and he's been showing more patience and confidence with the puck. Is this due to him playing vs weaker players on the opposing team? We can't know for sure, but it could be.
In any case though, no matter what line he's played on he's looked better than Lapierre.
Play him with AK (who's back to normal, hate to say I told you so) and Gomez. Get Laps back onto the 4th line, and bump Pyatt/Moen up to the 3rd.
You understand, JM?
"These head movies make my eyes rain" -Simple Jack
I got AK at under 64.5 pts, with Triple X and Tom Nickle.
I had to laugh when the geniuses behind the sportsnet desk were talking about resigning Stamkos, years, money, etc. Huh? What are they talking about? Stamkos will sign for a gazillion years and be their franchise player, even if it cosst them 95% of the team. This is logic. There's nothing to discuss. He's their Crosby/Ovechkin/Gretzky. You do NOT eff around with such a guy.
Why would ANYONE care what happens to Vinny or St Louis with this guy around? Sign him first then worry.
I agree with Guerin. And signing him would be dumb if we are to make another move before the trade deadline. However his 4.5 min per game last season on the PP and his 21 goals (11 from pp) and 45 points look good to me right now…
There may be other teams, but only ONE Club De Hockey…
Yeah, he was just barely good enough to win Olympic Gold against the BEST of the best players in the world.
Totally agree, Timo.

Regarding the PP sucking, I don't know what the answer is but that 4 minute PP was brutal to watch. It looked like coaching was the problem. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what they were trying to do.
Hey! Careful.
Careful, buddy.

Rule 63.2 "When any player, while in his defending zone, shoots or bats (using his hand or his stick) the puck directly (non-deflected) out of the playing surface, except where there is no glass, a penalty shall be assessed for delaying the game. When the puck is shot into the players' bench, the penalty will not apply. When the puck is shot over the glass 'behind' the players' bench, the penalty will be assessed."
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline-plan wrapped helically around an axis?
again. certainly his play has declined, wasn't disputing that, just the injury-prone and soft attitude statements.
Wasn't Guerin paired with Crosby/Malkin in Pitts? That would definately help his stats.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Agree about the Kid getting more respect after punching guys in his crease in the back'o'the head now. No longer cringing when the puck's in his zone. Confident. Rubbing hands together in malicious glee with totally unearned vindicated contentment.
Feel bad sayin this, but who the heck is Guèvremont? Am I bad person for not knowing or are you a freak because you do?
Aas for the poker-boy, consider that your Halloween thing raised money for the Foundation only and he'll probably give elsewhere too. I mean, I don't know that, but if you got 9mil and you give 100k away to a charitable cause the next day you get it, stands to reason you won't stop there.
And waitaminnit, waitaminnit, waitaminnit, are you implying…are you implying that…that the leafs are STUPID??? Whaaaaaaat??? The leafs? Noooo… the leafs? Stupid? Them?
Well, maybe.

Habs top prospect :), David Desharnais just scored, 1-0 Bulldogs in the second. SF09, what's up with a morning game?
I was making a joke, apparently you didn't get it. Who's the stupid one now?
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
I'd take Knuble for sure, Zherdev has no physical power in his game. Backes… I don't think we can take him without dumping a big contract and who among the vets can we really lose? Yes I know folks let's send Gomez outta town but realistically it's not like a lot of teams want his contract. Langenbrunner, he might fit in there as a playoff piece provided the Habs don't give up much for him, but he and Knuble are rental types and would have to be acquired on the cheap to justify it.
Guerin, I just think the calender's finally caught up with him a bit too much.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Price needs help from the Gomerites. No matter how bad Gomer is, they always blame it on someone else. Never his fault.
If you listen to them, Gomez would be leading the scoring race if Gio had been able to just convert on half the golden opportunities Gomer gave him. Of course, now on the Pleks line Gio has pulled away from Gomer in points and plus-minus. Someone else must be the problem on the Gomer line now.
Listen to the SmartDog. He knows his poop!
HMMMMM, who is the ONLY player you left out of the doing well column?
Actually you left out AK too…
There may be other teams, but only ONE Club De Hockey…
He's had 4 off-season surgeries, two wrist, one shoulder and now a knee operation. He doesn't miss a lot of time with the team per say but he has had several surgical procedures to correct physical ailments and these operations seem to have taken a toll on his abilities. He's not exactly playing like Getzlaf or Eric Staal either when he's on the ice either.
You don't volunteer to get operated on, he's had injuries and he's not recovered well from them from indications on his last 2 seasons of NHL scoring or this season's especially now that Martin St. Louis isn't on his wing to boost his scoring along.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Yeah, like Iginla is doing in Calgary with his whopping 2 goals, right?
We should be more like Calgary, right Timo?

Even more reason to sign Guerin…
!9th overall last season in Powerplay goals, and led his team with 11. (one more than our team leader Gionta)
That being said I have been looking at it. Why wouldn't we assign Boyd to Hamilton? 1.4 million dollars sits in the press box in O'Byrne.
So whats up? giving us 2.7 million in cap space with Boyd in Hamilton OR in a trade along with O'Byrne….
Been hearing about alot of scouts in our stands lately…
Jamie Langenbrunner is a UFA in July and has played with Gomez and Gionta…. 2.8 million cap hit, and because he came in mid season, we would get him under the cap easily….
Nikolay Zherdev is in his final year and is a cap friendly 2 mil for 25 goals…
David Backes is a UFA soon and our FAV trade partner owes us a deal according to some…
Mike Knuble is having a tough time in Washington (expect the last 2 games). UFA and at 2.8 million would be the best signing I could possibly think of…. The have to re-sign Semin, Laich and Fleischmann… Dont see Knuble getting a new deal worthy of his contribution.
There may be other teams, but only ONE Club De Hockey…
A good observation. The Habs seem to chop and hack at the puck a lot more, and their passes – especially from some people – aren't as accurate.
I'd say passing from the D now that Markov is back is strong, Pleks passing is as good as ever. Cami and Gio, Halpern and Pouliot are pretty good… Gio's pretty good. Outside of that, it's no-mans land. Just flick the puck in someone's general direction and hope they get it.
Listen to the SmartDog. He knows his poop!
* Thing I'm likin' about Price is not only the way he wins but also the way he loses. His play has become consistent to the point where I no longer find myself tryin' to peer through the mesh on his mask whenever the camera's on him, you know, tryin' to figure out where his head's at. His confidence not only has him playin' bigger in the net, the next time he tries to Hextall someone, he'll do it with the panache borne of street cred. On the fair assumption the Habs will not finish the season with 150 points, I can stomach losses if he continues to play this way. Heck, he's built enough equity with the Bell Centre crowd that even a complete stinker won't trigger Fansolvency™.
* Stubbs has some interestin' Canucks lore in this mornin's Gazette. Have a couple o' Nucks stories of my own, includin' one involvin' former Hab Ryan Walter, and another that happened about 15 years ago at a hockey trade show at Place Bonaventure in Montreal. Was strollin' around when this 50-ish, tall and lanky guy comes around the corner. He looks familiar. Somethin' clicks. "Jocelyn Guevremont. Nice to meet you.", I say as I put my hand out to shake his. "Wow! Only two people have recognized me since I retired [1980]," he retorts, "and you're number two." Guevremont was so utterly thrilled to be remembered, he insisted I come to whatever-company-it-was-he-was-workin'-with's reception over at the Chateau Champlain, "Bring your friends!" Straight-up chap. Good times.
* "Steven [Stamkos] is not ready for the NHL." Hey, Barry Melrose, think he's ready now, ya goofy bag o' do?
* Reignin' WSOP no-limit holdem world champ Jonathan Duhamel is donatin' $100K to the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation, the single-largest donation to date and, oh, I dunno, just a skate blade more than we were able to raise for the Foundation on Halloween night.
* To quote the ever-frustrated Elmer Fudd, "Shhh! Be vewy, vewy quiet." If you do, you can just barely hear the hummin' blades of the Mopey Loaf RookieGrinder™ gettin' set to chew up and spit out Nazem Kadri. After callin' the movers and reservin' a pile of cardboard boxes on behalf of head coach Ron Wilson – I mean, it's not like Burkie's entirely heartless – his next call will almost certainly be to Dave Nonis, GM of the Toronto Marlies, "We think Nazem's ready, Bill. What's that? Dave? Yeah, whatever. Send him over. He's ready." What Burkie will really mean by "ready" is everyone in the Loafs org has run out of ideas, is prepared to cross their fingers, and, hey, if it doesn't work out, it's not like he and Wilson haven't already crapped all over the kid. It's old hat.
Well, tell our good friend in Halifax (or whatever) that the Nuck were "so much better" that they lost, ok?
And to pick me up some'o'those First Nations sandals they sell next time she reports to back Victoria. Aw'iiiight?
Unnnnh! (z-formation finger-snap) Yowza!

Markov got called for the same pentalty a couple of years ago when the puck was on end in the defensive zone & his clearing shot went the length of the ice over the net and hitting the netting & as well as creating a 5 on 3 advantage against The Habs……….
It's the Panthers curse, you play there and it pretty much negates your big-game ability.
– I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
And I'M called a weirdo???
I don't think that's very fair.

To recap from earlier postings: My Heart predicted the Habs would go 3-2 in their first five games, my Head said 2-3. The team went 3-1-1. My Heart was off the mark by one point, a deviation from reality of 15 per cent, or, in other words, it was 85 per cent correct. (My mind, on the other hand, deviated from reality by 43 per cent. Par for the course, actually.)
After taking the measure of the team, Heart predicted the Habs would go 6-4 in their next 10 games. My Head said 5-5. My Heart was spot on – the team went 6-4. Overall, the team is 9-5-1; my Heart had predicted 9-6-0. In other words, it was 95 per cent correct.
Here's what lies ahead for the Habs' next 20 games:
HOME: Hurricanes, Flyers, Predators, Leafs, Kings, Sabres, Oilers, Sharks, Senators, Flyers, Bruins
AWAY: Bruins, Flyers, Thrashers, Devils, Red Wings, Leafs, Avalanche, Stars, Hurricanes
Okay, Heart, what is it? 9-9-2. Head? 7-10-3.
I know what you're thinking: Give my Head a shake.
Uh oh – concussion!
Man I love J.T.'s commentaries. From her site: "The Canucks are so much better than the Canadiens with their sticks in
close quarters, it's like watching the Chinese national ping pong team
versus the British Open lawn darts champs. In ping pong."
Those "soft" goals were what caused his W-L record last year to be crap.
A differing opinion must mean we are all Price-bashing spinners. From Jan 09 until just recently, Price has played average to below average. Get over it.

Mark Wednesday, Feb. 20, on your calendar as "Lunar Eclipse Night," for if the weather is fair you should have no difficulty observing a total eclipse of the moon.
The eclipse will be visible wherever the moon is above the horizon during the time frame that the eclipse is taking place. As it turns out, North and South America will be turned toward the moon and will be in excellent position for this sky show.
Europe, Africa and a part of western Asia will also be able to see the eclipse, although for these regions the event will take place in the hours just before sunrise on the morning of Feb. 21.
All told, given clear skies, about three billion potential eclipse viewers will be able to partake in the spectacle of the full moon becoming completely immersed in the Earth's shadow.
This will be the third total lunar eclipse within the past year. The previous two favored different parts of North America, but this one will be readily visible from start-to-finish across much of the continent, weather permitting.
The total phase will last 51 minutes and begins at 10:01 p.m. ET.
Slideshow: Month in Space: January 2014 Because some of the sunlight striking the Earth is diffused and scattered by our atmosphere, the Earth's shadow is not completely dark. Typically there are coppery red and orange hues cast over the moon at and near totality from sunlight refracted from our atmosphere around the edge of the Earth, giving the moon the appearance of an eerie glowing ball.
As a bonus, during the eclipse the moon will be situated, in our sky, near the planet Saturn and the bright bluish star Regulus in the constellation of Leo. The effect will be to create a uniquely beautiful triangle in the sky consisting of the totally eclipsed moon, a bright naked-eye planet and one of the 21 brightest stars in the sky.

I offer an eclectic range of interventions and counseling to help people grow and change stuck patterns in their lives. This includes exploration of both early life, and helping clients ground themselves and build upon their identities in the present moment. It is a balance of encouraging compassion for themselves, as well as empowering them. Often this includes healing shame, and building skills of mindfulness. Clients need to walk away with a toolbox to use to cope with daily stressors and the knowledge they can survive pain and suffering if needed and become more of their full selves in the process.
Elevate Counseling Services, 117 Eastman Street, 1st Floor, South Easton, Massachusetts 02375
Psychotherapy means exploring your thoughts and your emotions to see how they are impacting your behaviors and your decision making. I will help you better understand your thought life and how it is impacting the life that you are building for yourself. Sometimes we will look at family history, work culture, faith or defense mechanisms that you built long ago that may not be working for you any longer.
485 Nantasket Avenue Unit C, Hull, Massachusetts 02169
My approach to psychotherapy begins with developing a relationship with you which will lead to a problem, cause, solution - when this is your goal, or a longer term deeper exploration that encompasses the level of inner delving that you desire. What you feel, you can heal, and often it requires gazing deeply within to re-write the script that has been running your life. It is your time to take the wheel and leave auto pilot behind. It is my job to guide you on this journey.
275 Turnpike Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021
Nothing is more valuable than learning how to be happy, fulfilled, peaceful and loved. Learn why you don't do what you know so you can unblock yourself and meet your goals. Learn from your mistakes without judgment and transform your inner critic. Balance self care with caring for others and being taken care of well. I create the supportive environment you need to be open so you can explore ways to understand yourself better and make the changes for which you have longed. I will help you see things from new perspectives and help you to have greater awareness about yourself and others so you can practice new approaches to relationships at work and at home.

For a variety of challenges, Psychotherapy is a process which allows for the uncovering of answers that you already have. The back and forth conversation processes all the thoughts in your head, reflects them back and validates the ones that would serve you best given the details that you disclose. Session often include assessments to test an individual's theories about oneself and ultimately rules out several options leaving a clear understanding of the path that needs to be followed in order to achieved identified goals.
Providence, Rhode Island 02901
James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Psychotherapy involves client and therapist having mutual respect for each other, and having the client feel valued, listened to, understood. The treatment approaches used will vary based on your need, and we probably will use several. I believe in dealilng with problems from several directions...some behavioral (things you will need to do), cognitive (looking at and thinkiing differently about things), emotionally (Internal Family Systems Therapy IFS), and educational (learning skills or information that will help you to achieve your goals. We may use self-hypnosis to reduce anxiety, to help with sleep, and for other purposes. If we use it, you are always in full control of yourself.

As I see it, psychotherapy is a relationship of trust. It encourages a person to be themselves fully in a bond of trust in order to grow as a whole person. It is also a process wherein an individual can become more deeply aware of one's strengths as well as one's personal challenges. At its core is a relationship involving one person's faith in the other's intrinsic ability to face and deal with life's challenges.

HARGRAVE, HELEN (1894–1985). Helen Hargrave, law librarian, was born on November 7, 1894, in Bay City, Michigan, the daughter of Edward Carrollton and Victoria Regina (Holmes) Hargrave. After her parents died in the early 1920s, she moved to Austin to live with her sister and brother-in-law. In 1922 she entered the University of Texas and four years later, after completing the requirements for both undergraduate and law degrees, she began practicing law. In 1930 she joined the staff of the University of Texas School of Law as assistant law librarian, a position she held until 1939. The next year she studied law librarianship and library science at Columbia University, then returned to Austin in the fall to become head librarian of the University of Texas law library. For the next thirty-one years she oversaw a vast increase in the library's holdings, often traveling the state herself to inquire about rare and important books available through lawyers' collections. She developed for the University of Texas one of the largest academic law libraries in the South and Southwest. She also studied law library architecture and interior arrangements and contributed design ideas for both the University of Texas law school and the law library of the Texas Supreme Court. She helped organize the law library at Texas Southern University. During the Tidelands Controversy she assisted the state attorney general's office in its research on legal issues pertaining to offshore mineral rights.
Hargrave was well known for her close involvement with law students. During World War II she published a newsletter for former and current students in the military and circulated it worldwide. She assisted in the law school's arrangements with the Student Research Board, which allowed students to research legal cases for practicing attorneys, and in the Law School Legal Aid Clinic. Her position in the law school included a professorial appointment, and in this capacity she regularly taught a freshman course on legal bibliography. In 1957 she became the first Texan to be elected president of the American Association of Law Libraries. She was also a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Philosophical Society of Texas, the City of Austin Library Commission, and the Episcopalian Church. In 1965 she reduced her university work to part-time; in 1971 she entered full retirement and was named a professor emeritus of the law school. She became the first woman to receive the University of Texas law school distinguished graduate award in 1979. Helen Hargrave died in Austin on May 15, 1985. A memorial service was held for her three days later at Westminster Manor Chapel, Austin. She never married; her survivors included numerous nieces and nephews.

That was interesting I enjoyed reading that, do they still do that to this day?
Excellent piece FS. I can see how the pipe commands such respect as a tool, and thinking about it, so it should. Underestimating the power of such pipes has now resulted in worldwide tobacco addiction, and brings a whole new dimension to drugs like Opium, Cocaine, or Meth. Even without any spiritual element involved, turning a powerful plant or substance into smoke and inhaling it. exerts a severely underestimated influence upon people's consciousness and in the Western World, this influence manifests as addiction every time. Humans seem to have a propensity for inhaling smoke. Maybe a genetic imperative for consciousness expansion. Very thought provoking piece.
My country's treatment of its Native Americans is as shameful.Personally, I'm glad Custer got wiped out. Arrogant bastard.......
Indians deserve more than just a little piece of land
Here right up until the 1970's Aboriginal kids who had been "stolen" - taken by the authorities into what was laughingly referred to as care, were beaten for speaking their own languages. They took thousands of children. It was a deliberate ploy - to break cultural ties. I know the same things happened in Canada. I expect it was a similar story in the US.

Editors' Review
+Live wallpapers seem to be popular, and with the high performance of modern mobile processors, they are becoming more detailed. Koi Free Live Wallpaper is a very detailed simulation of Koi fish that swim around your desktop. Because of its high processor consumption, this one may not be for every user.
Koi Free Live Wallpaper doesn't require any special permissions and the installation is easy due to the lack of options. This app has a pro version available for a fee that includes options to customize the feel of the wallpaper. The wallpaper itself is pretty realistic. It is an overhead view of a small, traditional Koi pond where Koi fish randomly swim across the screen. However, the really interesting aspect of this live wallpaper is its interactivity. When you touch the screen, there is a droplet effect that sends ripples across the screen. If you touch the screen where a fish is swimming, it will quickly swim away as if it were scared by the disruption. While the effect is amusing, it consumes a significant amount of processor resources. Screen swipes are slowed down significantly and noticeable delays occurred when we attempted to open other applications. On-screen widgets were incredibly sluggish and notifications were delayed.
While Koi Free Live Wallpaper may be great to look at, the performance drain may not be worth it on some devices. This app may function better on devices with sparse screen activity and few-to-no widgets.

Developer suggests location for new elementary schools
Submitted by crecord2010 on
Construction of new homes at The Quarry can be seen daily. Construction of new schools may also be seen at The Quarry if the Cuero ISD school board considers an offer to purchase 10 to 25 acres from developers.
Charles Medcalf of Four Points Development presented his thoughts on the possible offer at the Feb. 21 school board meeting.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to present land available in a new development, very close to the existing school site that might work well with what the school district is trying to achieve with the elementary schools," Medcalf said.
