Killorn Happy to be a BoltSubmitted by chad on June 28, 2007 - 08:35
(The Suburban) Beaconsfield's Alex Killorn became the highest selected Lac St. Louis Tiger in the National Hockey League's entry draft held last Friday and Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, when the Tampa Bay Lightning chose the 6-foot 161-pound center in the third round, 77th overall.
"We (the family) were watching the draft on the NHL network and when I heard my name being called I couldn't believe it,†Killorn said. "I got so excited and then the phone calls started to come. At least I knew it was true and the guys weren't trying to punk me. Getting selected by Tampa Bay was a real honor. They have such a great organization, I feel really fortunate.â€

Red Line's Take on the Lightning's Draft PicksSubmitted by pete on June 25, 2007 - 18:03
Remind me next year to order Red Line three weeks before draft day instead of two...
Anyway, looking through Red Line's draft guide there are a lot of positives for the Lightning coming out of this draft. Here's how they had the picks the Lightning took rated and, where given, the short blurb about each:
#30 Dana Tyrell: "Love his speed, smarts, and competitiveness."
#54 Luca Cunti: "It's a team game, Luca. It's not all about you."
#62 Alexander Killorn: "Blazing fast playmaker. Stock rising like gas prices."
#100 Mitch Fadden: "Dynamic scorer should've been taken last year."
#160 Matt Marshall: "Bull in a china shop, but has no hands or finesse."
#207 Torrie Jung
#290 Michael Ward

Thick As Thieves (UK - DVD R2)
Leigh Riding reviews this direct to DVD heist thriller starring Morgan Freeman
Ripley (Morgan Freeman), a seasoned thief, has to team up with a brash upstart (Antonio Banderas) in order to steal two rare Fabarge eggs from a seemingly impenetrable vault, in order to repay a hefty debt to the Russian mafia.
What's this? A film with the undeniable talents of Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas going straight to DVD? Well, that can't be right; maybe the movie was botched by a hack director. No, the director was the solid Mimi Leder ( The Peacemaker, Deep Impact). Ah, looking at the back of the box, all becomes clear; the film is a Millennium product. According to the 'Action Geek' section of my brain, Millenium were specialists in straight to video action movies in the mid-90s. The difference between Millennium's output and their competitors was that their movie's budgets were split in half, with one side of the money going to the stunt team (well spent back in the day), and the other half going to a surprisingly top drawer cast of talent. Matthew Modine, Peter Weller, William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland; the list goes on. The one element the company never spent on however were the scripts, which were thin to say the least.
As time went on, Millennium moved on to fallen A-list action stars (Snipes, Seagal, Van Damme, Lundgren), until the company finally hit pay dirt when they paid for Bruce Willis to star in the underrated 16 Blocks. It also helped that they not only hired a top drawer director in Richard Donner, but also had the crucial solid script. That was it—Millennium moved on to their next marketing strategy: rustle up a random script draft, hire the biggest stars and directors possible, and that will bring in ticket sales. The films came and went, with talent such as John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, Nicolas Cage, Brian DePalma and Renny Harlin crashing and burning terribly, with the prime example of the trend being the turgid Pacino/De Niro vehicle Righteous Kill, which made money purely on curiosity value only.
Thick As Thieves is the third direct to DVD film Freeman has made with Millennium, with the other two being 2005's appalling Edison, which had an amazing cast for such a poor film, and the Bruce Beresford wilderness adventure The Contract, starring a visibly despondent John Cusack. It has to be said, this is the least ambitious of the three. Undoing all the good work of Ocean's 11, which slicked up and refreshed the heist genre, Thick as Thieves is so old fashioned and musty, it's a surprise the DVD case doesn't come supplied with mothballs. Firstly there's the concept of the old thief training up the cocky pretender that David Mamet did far better in the Gene Hackman/Sam Rockwell film Heist. Then there's the old clichés like navigating red laser beams, and the same double cross/triple cross/there never was a cross in the first place twists that are as old as the hills.
Freeman, to be fair, treats the film with the same amount of professionalism as he does in his stronger films, and fans will be pleased to hear that he is still as captivating as ever. On the other hand, Banderas is surprisingly low energy and flat, with none of the verve and enthusiasm he shows in output such as Assassins and his Mariachi films; he wasn't even this dull in Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sewer. The man simply looks bored. Rhada Mitchell is completely wasted in her role, but leaves an impression. It's hard to see what any of the actors saw in the poorly written project, aside from the paycheque and the company they keep.
Direction is unspectacular, with Leder only coming to life in the thin-on-the-ground action sequences such as the opening train heist. Other than that, everything else seems like well-lit television. The action scenes seem tacked on, but fit far better than in Freeman's earlier Edison (which seemingly became an action movie during reshoots).
The main problem with the film is that the pedigree of the talent promises quality the film itself just can't deliver. One gets the feeling that the film would be better served if the cast was lower key, but if that was the case there's no way we would even be reading this review right now. It's a film that says nothing, goes nowhere, and leaves no impression, but makes a fantastic DVD case for your shelf.
The 2.35:1 transfer offered on this Lionsgate disc is nice and solid, with a clean, sharp image and little in the way of distracting grain and no noticeable artefacting. The strongest part of the film is the cinematography, and the transfer serves it well, with strong colours and the heist sequence looking suitably stark and steely. For those who actually want to own this, they will be treated by a slick looking film, presented well on the DVD.
The 5.1 track is rather unspectacular, but serviceable. Dialogue is nice and clear, and the train heist is well served, with action shifting around the surrounds impressively, but the rest of the track is rather ordinary, with little in the way of bells and whistles and a rather thin low end. Not a bad track, just uneventful.
The extra content is a little thin on the ground, with a rather hastily put together Making Of, featuring snippets from the cast and crew, and a separate interview segment with the cast and crew, which is of note purely because of Banderas' visible boredom and lack of interest while discussing the film.
It's easy to see why this film skipped a theatrical release; everything about Thick As Thieves screams average. The plot is old hat and clichéd, the direction is workmanlike, and the film feels more like a mid-season television episode than it does a fully fledged feature. While not a bad film by any stretch, it all feels like wasted opportunities. Its one saving grace is an on-form Morgan Freeman, and completist fans of his work may glean some pleasure from the film. Thick as Thieves is the epitome of middling.

Not long ago, few would believe we'd all use a portable music device that fit in our pockets and contained thousands of songs. Likewise, personal or in-car GPS navigation was pretty much unheard of. A few early adopters had units mounted to the top of their dashboards, and delighted in showing their friends where the nearest gas station was. But as technology inevitably progressed, we became used to the convenience iPods and GPS navigation devices provide, and now a great many consumers simply consider them totally necessary for daily driving. Same thing with Bluetooth hands-free technology, it's also becoming a standard and expected feature, as more and more people experience the added safety and convenience it provides.

These loadouts can be anything from improved guns to access to vehicles or even enemy-seeking drones. The longer you save your battle points, the better your loadout options will be, which makes for a nice short-term goal system. The intrinsic "spend-or-save" strategy that the game introduces is engaging, and trying out the multitude of loadout options adds to the multiplayer's replay value. It's not uncommon to find yourself completing certain objectives just to earn loadouts so you can help your team to victory, and trying all the loadouts does take some time (and some skill, as many of the premium loadouts take some gumption to earn). The game also awards you with access to more content as you level up, so there is definitely an incentive to stay with the multiplayer. Though it isn't the most revolutionary thing you've ever encountered, the multiplayer gets points for being fun and for doing things a little bit differently.
Clearly, a lot of care went into the game's design, and the way that everyday locations like an elementary school or a supermarket are portrayed in the context of a war-torn society is nothing short of brilliant. However, on the technical side, Homefront falters. During my time with the game I encountered numerous technical issues, including framerate slowdowns and jumping animation. The game also features some repetitive character animations; it's frustrating to see the same animations over and over throughout the game's five-hour campaign.
What upsets me most about Homefront is that it is such a missed opportunity. The game is by no means bad, and if you go into it expecting a generic shooter, then you'll come out of the experience satisfied. However, with all the hype surrounding the game and all the pre-release excitement, I expected something more than a technically proficient shooter. Nothing about this game is really terrible, but nothing about it makes you want to grab your best friend and tell him to check it out either.
Homefront is a game that will please most people. It features plenty of enemies, some pretty awesome locations, and a killer premise. Though the story falls flat about halfway through, and the game needs at least five more chapters to feel complete, you will have lots of fun in the short amount of time that you do have with the single player. And with an above-average multiplayer mode, you'll have no trouble racking up some fairly good supplemental time with Homefront. Just don't expect an epic experience, and you won't be disappointed. And if you don't like multiplayer, do not purchase this game under any circumstances, as $60 for a five-hour campaign is just too much.

Metal Stencils II
Viewer Comments
Thanks for the great ideas. One more way to use these stencils is to dry emboss them with a die cutting machine. Quick and easier than using the stylus.
After watching this webisode I purchased a stencil iron. I had a metal stencil I received with the metal stencil kit. This stencil is a stained glass with lilies. I cannot express how very beautiful it turned out. Thanks so very much for these webisodes. They are the highlight of my week.
Blessings, Peggy
Thank you so much for all the new ideas. The cards are just exquisite!
Congrats on the wedding! Love watching the programs during my breakfast. Always great and fun ideas!!
I love metal stencils. I ordered this set after viewing the Webisode and can't wait until I receive them, so I can try all the wonderful techniques.
I'm going to put all my stencils to good use after watching this. Thank you for all the fun ideas, ladies.
Another idea is when you use the spackel and it has dried, you can dab with chalks for another effect, one of my favorites. Thanks for the ideas also.
Wow,as usual a very informative and cute (shhhhh) webisode, love to listen to you two. Thanks a bunch.
Those were some really cool ideas. Makes me want to go and craft.
Thank you SO MUCH for all these terrific ideas!!! You gals are fabulous, dah-lings!
Instructions and pictures for "Happy Birthday" Rose card and "For Someone Special" on Sunshine and Shadows are mixed up

from Paulette:
This will be fixed right away tomorrow. I'm so sorry.
Thanx for keeping the light box you show in stock, I keep mine on my worktable plugged in at all times, so it is handy because I use it often. Thank you also for all the great ideas with the metal stencils. I will have to dig out mine and start using them, I have kind have forgotten nice they are.
Thanks again for re-introducing some old favorites! Have lots of the Heritage metal stencils, which I haven't used in awhile. Will be bringing them back out. Have a great 4th!!
thank you for expanding my uses for my metal stencils. what fun!
Hi, Thank you for sharing new tecniques to work with metal stencils. I have so many. I'm anxious to try them myself!!!
Love this webisode. I have several stencils and love all the different ideas for using them. Thanks for the inspiration.
When embossing on cardstock you only need to go around the edges of the stencil shapes to bring out the entire shape.
Have you tried dry embossing with a sizzix or Big Shot?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Yes, we did a webisode on our new suede papers and did dry embossing with the Epic 6. The end of July there will be a whole webisode on using embossing plates with lots of demos.
Wow! What a great compendium of stencilling techniques. Well done! Makes me excited rethinking the stencils I already own as well as this very tempting offer.

#ThrowbackThursday: Ben Henderson Scores His Last Finish to Date Over Donald Cerrone at WEC 48
(Henderson and Cerrone clash for the first time at WEC 43. Photo via Getty.)
Throwback Thursday is a new recurring column that pays tribute to the stars of an upcoming UFC event by taking a look back at some of their earliest defining moments. For our second edition, we focus on Ben Henderson's last fight to end in a finish ahead of his Fight Night 42 main event clash with Rustam Khabilov this weekend.
Contrary to what he might tell you, former lightweight champion Ben Henderson does not actually finish fights. At least, not since making the leap from the WEC to the UFC back in April of 2010. Prior to his 9 fight, 8 decision run in the UFC, however, Henderson was a finishing machine, picking up submission victories over the likes of Jamie Varner and Anthony Njokuani and even a quick TKO over Shane Roller while making his name under the WEC banner.
His final finish (and final victory) in the WEC came at the now legendary WEC 48 over rival Donald "Go Get Some" Cer-ron-eyyy.
This might be hard to believe, but back at WEC 43, Henderson actually captured the promotion's interim lightweight championship via a controversial unanimous decision over Cerrone (pictured above) that both fans and many media members felt should have gone the other way. I know right? Crazy times, those were.
Anyway, Cerrone would score a third round rear-naked choke over Ed Ratcliff in his rebound fight at WEC 45, and Henderson would unify the belts with a third round sub of his own over Jamie Varner at WEC 46, thusly setting up the epic rematch that fans had been begging for at WEC 48. You hear that, Jon Jones? THAT IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK.
Join us as we look back at Henderson vs. Cerrone 2, complete with a full fight video, after the jump.Read More DIGG THIS

Taking aim at lax arms control laws | Jordan Ryan
25 Mar 2013
We need to better regulate the international arms trade. Today.
Thanks in part to the efforts of organizations like the United Nations (UN) and its Member States, wars between countries are rarer now than at any other time in history.
To be sure, tensions, such as between Pakistan and India, and North and South Korea still exist, yet intense conflicts, i.e. those resulting in more than 1,000 deaths in a year, dropped by half between 1980 and 2000, and continue to fall.
But we can't celebrate just yet. Armed violence still kills more than half a million people a year.
As participants meet at the UN in New York try to agree on an international Arms Trade Treaty, the widespread availability of guns still causes suffering for millions around the world.
While "traditional" warfare between states is subsiding, new types of violence have come to the fore. Asymmetrical conflicts, such as those in Afghanistan and Syria; inter community violence like we continue to see in Somalia; and violence linked to crime, such as what we are seeing in El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico are becoming new norms in many fragile countries. For every death from a recognized war, there are now nine casualties from a violent gang related or organized crime; fuelled by a burgeoning multi-billion dollar international market in weapons.
I have seen with my own eyes in places like Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, how conflict hinders and reverses development, sometimes for decades. The evidence is clear, lax control on weapons of war fuels conflict, and many countries with high levels of violence are unlikely to meet the Millennium Development Goals by the looming target date of 2015.
The international community needs to meet these challenges with a revised approach – not only to peacebuilding and citizen security, but also to controlling the arms trade. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has already urged countries to act.
We need to close current loopholes, and we need to make it more difficult for warlords and criminals to obtain weapons. A treaty that covers all types of international arms transfers, including gun parts, ammunition, loans, leases, and defence cooperation agreements, is desperately required. And governments who will likely use weapons to abuse human rights need to have their access denied – background checks on a national scale, if you will.
It is ironic that at a time of unprecedented peace between states, many in developing countries are now more likely to live life under the muzzle of a Kalashnikov.
The time has come to agree on an international treaty that saves lives and controls this deadly trade.
Talk to us: Could a global arms trade treaty save lives and promote development? How can countries stop the proliferation of weapons and break the cycle of violence of millions?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Says Media Giant Fired a High Performer Because of Mental Disability
PHOENIX -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that it has filed a disability discrimination lawsuit against Gannett Company, Inc. and Gannett Media Technologies, Inc. charging the companies with firing an employee because she had a disability.
According to the EEOC's suit, Ms. Parker-Garcia worked in Gannett's Tempe, Ariz., facility as an application support analyst. After Parker-Garcia returned from a medical leave of absence because of a mental disability, the Gannett companies unlawfully discharged her, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The suit further alleges that during her employment, Parker-Garcia exceeded expectations and was up for a promotion when she went on the medical leave.
Such alleged conduct violates Title I of the ADA , which prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. The ADA covers employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments.
The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Gannett Company, Inc. and Gannett Media Technologies, Inc., Case No. (CV 11-00675-PHX-DKD) in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona in Phoenix after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency is seeking monetary relief including back pay with prejudgment interest, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. The agency is also seeking an injunction prohibiting future discrimination and any other curative relief to prevent the Gannett companies from engaging in any further discriminatory practices.
"Individuals with disabilities, including mental disabilities, are an underutilized resource that employers should utilize," said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "Many disabled persons are qualified, ready and willing to work -- all they need is an equal opportunity. Employers must remember that disability does not mean inability. Cases such as these are important to society because they confirm that workers who want to work, but are prevented from doing so by employers because of a real or perceived disability, are protected by the law."
Rayford O. Irvin, district director of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, added, "We will continue to vigorously pursue our mission of fighting employment discrimination on all fronts, including discrimination against people who suffer from mental disabilities. The ADA was enacted in part to eliminate discrimination based on stereotypes and fear. We will actively pursue cases where this type of discrimination is reasonably believed to exist. "
According to company information, the McLean, Va.-based Gannett Companies' holdings include 82 U.S. daily newspapers, including USA Today, reaching 11.6 million readers every weekday and 12 million readers every Sunday. Gannett's 23 TV stations reach 21 million households, covering 18.2 percent of the U.S. population.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The EEOC's Phoenix District Office has jurisdiction for Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and part of New Mexico (including Albuquerque). Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The entire list
A9 TV – March 29th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: If PKK intends to retreat, they already enter and exit Iraq and Syria in groups of three or five people continuously. They go in and out daily. They would freely exit the country. So their ideology needs to be fixed. How could their ideologies be fixed? This can be achieved provided that they return to the Quran, that they stand up for unity of Islam and that they are devoted to the Quran and Allah. Otherwise those are not the solution. Those would not yield any results. It is necessary to turn them from being poison into being antidote. How would you do that? By Quranic sciences, scientific miracles, invalidity of Darwinism and Materialism, you can produce a result. No other way.
April 6th, 2013 - A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: Although it is said that "Abdullah Öcalan had iman", and insaAllah he did, it should not be forgotten that PKK is an organization against Allah and the Quran, with no iman. It is necessary to warn everybody day and night against communism threat and PKK threat. In other words PKK is not a safe structure that wants peace. Even if they want peace, their ideology won't allow it. PKK is a communist organization. As long as they don't abandon their ideology, they will not back down from the idea of founding a communist state in the Southeast. Therefore, the retreat may be a part of "one step forward, two step backward" tactic of communism. For this reason we should not give up struggling against Communism and Darwinism ever.
A9 TV – May 18th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: It is the biggest communist upheaval in the history of the Republic. And Communist movement never stops. It only takes one step forward and two steps backward. It is Lenin's tactic. Since they are very tired now, they want to rest. They want to gather strength. They made a strategy in search for a counter-solution today. They don't want to hurry. They don't want to fail. They have an approach like "How can we make a stronger, a more comprehensive attack? How can we achieve a Communist revolt in the Southeast? Let us evaluate that". Time to time they send their men for monthly, yearly vacations. They think they are tired. Also they retire the old men to open space for young newcomers. They move their experienced, educated men to Iraq and Syria. So they can bring a new group of 2000, 3000 people to the mountain for example. These newcomers will be educated again. That's the point.
A9 TV – December 25th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: PKK is having a rest now, as far as I understand they find it appropriate as a strategy. Because in reality they have been directed from abroad. They give them technical information; They tell some people when would be wiser to attack, for less losses. So they act according to these instructions. They really don't attack today. PKK has stopped. They haven't attacked for nearly a month. Before, they attacked every day nonstop. For some reason, they have stopped. I feel there are some possibilities of course but they never give up their belief. Lenin has a saying "One step forward, two steps backward". I believe they practice this at the moment.
August 17th, 2013 - Enson Haber
Our Prime Minister said that PKK had not kept their promise to leave the country and 80% of the organization is still inside the country. He also stated that there is an intense propagation via media as if PKK is the salvation of the country and statements of the organization's leaders had been carried to the headlines.

The Jasper County Coroner on Monday said the two victims in Friday's double homicide in Hardeeville died instantly.
Coroner Martin Sauls said results of an autopsy show Desmond Brown, 25, of Hardeeville, and Octavia Scott, 26, of Bluffton, died Friday night as a result of gunshot wounds to the head. He said there were multiple gunshots.
No gun was found at the scene, but investigators found a .45 caliber shell casing was found.
Brown and Scott were found dead at about 6 p.m. Friday outside of a 2007 Infinity 4-door sedan on a dirt road off Purrysburg Road, said Hardeeville Police Chief Richard Nagy.
Sauls said Monday that murder-suicide had been ruled out and said the victims had no evidence of trauma from the wreck.
"From the appearance of things they were not ejected; they got out on their own," Sauls said. The coroner said the victims were found out of the car. "She was face down in the ditch and he was cross-wise of the road with his face down in the ditch."
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division was called to investigate and officers worked through Friday night to process the scene for evidence.
When emergency responders arrived they discovered one victim had a gunshot wound to head, said Nagy, and in examining the site as a crime scene discovered the other victim also had a gunshot wound to head.
"We have no idea what the motive is at this point or the way the car played into it. The car belonged to someone who lives in Hilton Head and knew it was being used," he said. "Police are following up on leads. Families have been notified. There is an awful lot of evidence to be processed. We're hopeful the solvability is high on this."
Hardeeville emergency dispatch was initially called for what appeared to be a wreck.
"The report was of a head-on collision with a tree and bodies outside the car on the ground," said Nagy. It appeared from the scene that Brown was the driver and his shoe prints were outside the car, Nagy said.
Two SLED agents have been assigned to the Hardeeville Police Department.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hardeeville Detective Sgt. Alexis Webber at 843-226-0923.

President Barack Obama says the minority Republicans in the U.S. Congress should stop blocking legislation that would help unemployed Americans and the victims of the Gulf oil spill. Republicans charge that the president is playing politics with the oil disaster.
President Obama says Republicans are intentionally holding up important legislation, which he says reflects "a dreary and familiar politics." "I know the political season is upon us in Washington. But gridlock as a political strategy is destructive to the country. Whether we are Democrats or Republicans, we have got an obligation that goes beyond caring about the next election. So I hope that when Congress returns next week, they do so with a greater spirit of compromise and cooperation. America will be watching," he said.
In his weekly address, the president blasts Republicans for blocking a vote on legislation to extend unemployment benefits to millions of Americans who are out of work.
The bill failed Thursday when Democrats could not get enough votes to end debate. Republicans support many of the policies in the measure but want it changed to reduce its impact on the deficit.
Mr. Obama says they are also holding up bills to provide relief to financially struggling state governments, prolong a tax credit for first-time homebuyers and give tax cuts to keep research and development jobs in the United States.
Weekly Address: Republicans Blocking Progress from The White House on Vimeo.
The president is also criticizing Republicans for blocking a bill to remove a limit on liability costs for oil companies. "Right now, the law places a $75 million cap on the amount oil companies must pay to families and small businesses who suffer economic losses as a result of a spill like the one we are witnessing in the Gulf Coast. We should remove that cap. But the Republican leadership will not even allow a debate or a vote," he said.
In his party's weekly message, Republican Senator Roger Wicker, from the Gulf state of Mississippi, says President Obama has been slow to put the oil spill at the top of his agenda. "He was slow in listening to state and local leaders, slow in getting skimmers to the Gulf, slow in understanding the seriousness of this crisis, and slow in taking ownership and responsibility for the recovery," he said.
Sunday marks two months since BP's Deepwater Horizon oil well exploded, killing eleven workers and spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Senator Wicker charges that the president's policies on the spill have done more harm than good. He says Mr. Obama spent too much of his speech to the nation last Tuesday promoting a proposal to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. The senator says the so-called "cap and trade" system would drive up energy prices and send American jobs overseas. "Now is not the time to push a controversial, job-killing, partisan agenda through Congress. In addition to devastating our economy, this proposal would do nothing to fix the disastrous leak or clean up our beaches, marshes and waters," he said.
The Mississippi lawmaker ended his address with an appeal to fellow Americans to visit his state and its neighbors along the Gulf, which have seen a huge drop in tourism since the oil spill.

Greek Jews have lived in Greece for over 2000 years. Despite the uniqueness and importance of this group - few studies have been devoted to understand their identity, their integration/assimilation into the Greek society and their attitudes and experiences in regards to Anti-Semitism. Greek Jews today still struggle to assert their legitimacy as Greeks

Laura Ann Dalton Randall passed away Sunday August 3, 2014, in Monticello UT.
She was born September 7, 1956 to Ned and Betty Dalton in Salt Lake City, UT.
Laura grew up in Moab and graduated from Grand County High School. She attended beautician school in Provo, UT and met Wilford Kay Randall.
After a whirlwind romance, including many 4x4 jeeping adventures, they were married and sealed in the Manti Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on August 15, 1975.
Even after being married for more than 35 years, Laura would often leave Kay love notes and letters for him to find.
Laura and Kay made Monticello their home, where they raised four children. Laura volunteered in many school classrooms and also helped the Monticello Police Department to teach the DARE Program.
Laura loved to quilt and sew. She would sew clothes, but she loved quilting. It's amazing to see what beautiful quilts she created from different and unique fabrics.
Of the countless hours that Laura quilted, we have not been able to find a single quilt that she kept for herself. She found so much joy in giving her talents and time to others.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Laura had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She lived the gospel every day of her life. She loved serving others and found joy serving in the temple.
Laura's love of the gospel and of others was contagious. She always had a smile on her face and would go out of her way to tell anyone she knew hello. Laura really knew how to love people.
Laura was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1990. She never questioned why or asked for any sympathy or leniency.
Family and friends watched Laura handle each and every challenge and setback with faith, fortitude, and gratitude for life. She kept a positive attitude and never complained.
She lived life as if she had no limits or restrictions. Laura was often referred to as a "gogo" girl. She always wanted to go and live life. Go on a drive, go visit people, and find ways to serve them.
Her children became the love of Laura's life. She was blessed with four children and 13 grandchildren, with two more currently on the way.
Laura would travel many miles and spend countless hours supporting her children. This continued with her grandchildren.
Recently, Laura finished a quilt for each of her children and grandchildren. This quilt will be a reminder of the love and memories they found with their mother and grandmother.
In all, Laura always "chose gratitude". She knew, and practiced for years, what President Uchdorft recently taught, when he said "…those who set aside the bottle of bitterness and lift instead the goblet of gratitude can find a purifying drink of healing, peace, and understanding."
Laura is survived by her father and mother, Ned and Betty Dalton; husband, Wilford Kay Randall; and four children and spouses: sons Bradley Earl (Kristen) Randall, Todd Ned (Kim) Randall, and daughters Suzane Randall (Ben) Davis and Stephanie Kay Randall (Jake) Keller.
She is also survived by a sister, Debbie Dalton (Gary) Blackburn, and a brother, N Don (Irene) Dalton. Laura also leaves 13 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Outbreaks of new forms of powdery mildew in California and Arizona desert melon fields this and the past two seasons sent the call for tougher varieties to resist the fungal threat.
At work to find new germplasm from exotic cucurbit plants for breeding into improved varieties is James McCreight, research leader and geneticist at USDA's Agricultural Research Station at Salinas.
McCreight, who's been at the station since 1979 and spent the two previous seasons at a USDA facility in the Imperial Valley, is no stranger to powdery mildew.
Yet he is the first to admit that he and his colleagues need to know more about how the disease works against cantaloupes, honeydews, muskmelons and other melons.
Ten or so races of powdery mildew are known to exist around the world, but only one race was thought, until recently, to be in California, and a second was known to be in Texas.
Melon trials in the desert in 2002 by Tom Turini, Imperial Valley farm advisor, showed significant Race I pressure. Then in the 2003 season, Race II showed up to create major infections in commercial melon varieties previously thought to be resistant.
Race II infections were later found at Yuma and in experimental plots at the Salinas station. At about the same time, evidence emerged pointing to the new race challenging fungicides.
Confirms Race II presence
Michael Coffey, plant pathologist at the University of California, Riverside, collected several samples of the disease for laboratory evaluation and confirmed that Race II was in California fields.
"The fortuitous thing," McCreight said, "is we had been working with a melon from India originally selected for its resistance to lettuce infectious yellows virus. Our research shows it is the only melon that has resistance to Race II."
Powdery mildew was back in Imperial Valley melons again this spring, but so were Turini and McCreight, collaborating on trials observing plant material from the Indian melon, whose powdery mildew resistance comes from a trio of genes. Data from the trials are being collected for analysis later this year.
"So far," McCreight said, "the preliminary data suggest there may be a different race there this year. It may be any one of the 10 we know about, or it may be something different."
Growers, he said, are attracted to resistant varieties because they supposedly preclude the need for fungicides. However, he added, it's only a matter of time before the disease changes to overcome the resistance in a new variety.
Works on other fronts
"We really don't know much about the genetics of the pathogen. We haven't seen a sexual stage for the disease, so it may be chance mutations causing the new forms."
McCreight also works on other fronts to improve cultivars for the California melon industry. Cucurbit leaf curl virus is a whitefly-vectored disease that has appeared here and there in desert melons for the last 10 years without serious consequences.
He added, however, "We found a beautiful, uniform infection of what we think is it in Imperial Valley fields last year, so were are confirming that in the greenhouse this year."
It turns out the same Indian melon carrying powdery mildew resistance also shows resistance to the virus.
Yet another dimension of his research is a joint project with USDA geneticists at the University of Wisconsin on melon plants that have a "multiple lateral branching" trait. Commercial varieties in the U.S., in contrast, extend in a linear fashion with fewer branches.
"Ideally, with this type of plant," he said, "you could set several fruit almost simultaneously for a once-over harvest. But that is still several years off."
A related project is investigating development of melon plants having more female flowers and increased yields.
McCreight allots 60 percent of his time to melon research and the remainder goes to lettuce projects. One example of his work in lettuce is a continuing search for resistance to Fusarium wilt, which was detected in certain fields in Yuma in 2001 and around Huron in 2002 and has since spread.
Fusarium wilt resistance
"We've been characterizing the races of it we have, based on samples of it from Japan. It's been on lettuce there since 1955 and there are now three races there. So far, our data suggest we have only one, Race I, the original they had in Japan."
His aim is to find germplasm to breed Fusarium wilt resistance into varieties for the fall season in Yuma. Japanese breeders found resistance in the California variety Salinas, which is typically unaffected by the disease due to cooler conditions on the California coast but is not adapted to the desert climate.
Mike Matheron, University of Arizona research scientist, is currently running field screening of commercial varieties to determine how they fare under pressure from the disease.
Eventual improved commercial varieties need not only resistance to the wilt but heat tolerance along with resistance to bolting and tipburn.
McCreight also supervises the other projects at the station, including work by a dozen USDA scientists and one IR-4 Program researcher involved with their respective specialties of vegetable breeding, sugar beets, insect and virus control, soilborne diseases, postharvest insect control, and organic vegetables. The station budget is $4.1 million per year.
He also oversees the collaborative work of three University of California, Davis scientists and one Artichoke Research Association entomologist attached to the station.
The station was established in the early 1940s for strategic research on production of guayule, a rubber substitute. Sugar beet research came in 1948 and in 1956 vegetable research was added. It has 37 buildings, and 33 greenhouses on 13 acres, plus three field research locations totaling nearly 200 acres.
USDA, McCreight said, allocated $4.5 million this year for design and planning of modernized and expanded facilities housing up to 25 scientists at the site. Planning was set to begin in July.

Update on Ravalli County Officer Involved Shooting
UPDATE - 1:00 p.m. Friday, March 7
KGVO News has received a report from the Montana Department of Justice regarding details of Friday night's fatal officer involved shooting.HELENA – Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman has requested that the Montana Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation look into an officer-involved shooting that took place Thursday night near Hamilton.
At 7:39pm yesterday, a woman called the Ravalli County Sheriff Office's non-emergency number saying her son was having problems with his girlfriend at his residence. At approximately 8pm, the 47-year-old male in question called the non-emergency number requesting a deputy come to his residence at 808 Cuf Lane. At 8:21pm, the man called 911 and continued to talk about problems he was having with his girlfriend, who was not present in the home. A deputy arrived shortly before 8:30pm.
While talking with the deputy for several minutes, the man was angry and agitated, accusing the deputy of not being a real law enforcement officer. The man then walked toward a weapon that was visible in the room. The deputy told the man not to pick up the weapon but he disregarded the instructions and did so anyway, turning the weapon toward the deputy. In response to the threat, the deputy fired on the man and killed him. He died at the scene.
In accordance with standard procedure, the deputy involved – a three-year veteran of the Ravalli County Sheriff's Office – has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the incident.
Powell County Coroner John Pohle will be the coroner on this case. Once the state's investigation is complete, the case file will be presented to Coroner Pohle and the Ravalli County Attorney for review. A coroner's inquest will be scheduled and held in Ravalli County.
City police departments and county sheriff offices routinely request the Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation to investigate officer-involved shootings.
More information will be released when it becomes available.
Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman has confirmed that there was an officer-involved shooting at a residence southeast of Hamilton last night, Friday, March 6.
Hoffman says a male adult suspect is deceased and the deputy involved was not injured.
Hoffman said the Montana Department of Criminal Investigations is in charge of the shooting investigation.
Hoffman said he will have more details later Friday, March 7.

Asus Rampage II Extreme Review
With the X58 chipset well established as the new standard in enthusiast systems, vendors are trying to push the market to more mainstream audiences by doing whatever it takes to lower prices. Luckily for us, there are vendors out there that remember their roots and refuse to lower the quality of their products; vendors like Asus! With the Rampage II Extreme, Asus makes a bold move to make a board with specs that geeks can cuddle up to at night.
The Asus P6T got great results, especially in the overclocking regimen, so I have very high hopes and expectations for this board with the upgrade to 16 phase circuitry, among many other things. Without further ado, the Rampage II Extreme!
Closer Look:
The Rampage II Extreme comes in the same red flame motif style that its little brother, the Rampage II GENE, comes in. It holds its style well, while proclaiming its leetness simply through the powerful logos plastered on the box; the most prominent of which is the Republic of Gamers logo in the top left corner. Along the bottom, Asus has put the Core i7 logos, the X58 Chipset logo, the Crossfire X logo, and the SLI logo. With that combination of certifications, you know this puppy packs a punch. Of course, you cant miss Asus's own "Rock Solid, Heart Touching" logo in the bottom right. Opening the flap on the front of the box gives you a full frontal of this beast. The top section touts a ton of the exclusive features included on this board, as well as squeezing in some more logos and pictures. When you flip the box over, you are greeted by five captions in many different languages, as well as four pictures showing the "TweakIt" & "ProbeIt" area, the "Extreme Engine" sans heatspreader/ROG LED, a screen shot of the bundled 3DMark Vantage Advanced Edition, and a picture of the SupremeFX X-Fi audio card included with the board.
Opening up the box brings you to another stage of Asus's welcomed class. There are two black boxes within, one that contains the accessories, and one that contains the motherboard protected by a thick clear plastic mold used for the window. The accessories box opens through a unique fold out design that is a welcome relief from the usual brown cardboard frame. In the RIIE's accessory box, you see four partitions chock full of goodies to get you well on your way within the Republic of Gamers.
Some notable items include a very thick and informative Users Guide, a Driver Disc, an Asus Q-Fan with instructions for the ones among us who couldn't handle installing a fan, an LCD Poster, the SupremeFX X-Fi audio card, and the very cool, over the top illuminated back panel.
I can't wait to delve into the guts of this baby!

Georgia Institute of Technology has done some truly bleeding-edge research inself-configuring robotics and robot swarms. It's also home to research projects in advanced additive manufacturing (AM), design, and materials. The latest one has received a grant from the Department of Energy to develop nanoscale AM with a variety of materials.
The technique uses focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) assisted by gas jets, which sends a highly focused beam of high-energy electrons and a jet of gases to a substrate material. The process creates tiny, nanoscale-layered structures, tens of nanometers to hundreds of nanometers wide, formed one atom at a time. The nanoscale allow structures made of a wide variety of materials and materials combinations, and with very high purity.
(Source: Rob Felt, Georgia Tech)
Some different types of electron-beam AM systems are used for doing metals AM, often for aerospace applications. Examples include Arcam doing work for aircraft engine maker Pratt & Whitney, and Sciaky making jet wing components for Lockheed.
The research team is led by professor Andrei Fedorov of Georgia Tech's school of mechanical engineering, whose specialties include heat transfer, combustion, and energy systems. The team envisions using the technique to make nano-electromechanical sensors and actuators, high-performance interconnect interfaces for electronic devices based on graphene and carbon nanotubes, and to design optical and magnetic materials with new properties by changing the shape and composition of their nanostructures and combining materials. "By providing truly nanoscale control of geometries, [the technique] will impact a broad range of applications in nanoelectronics and biosensing," said Fedorov in a press release.
Fedorov and his team have already demonstrated the technology, and a proof of principle for the use of thermally energized gas jets in the FEBID process. The researchers have also used the process on a variety of substrate materials, including metals, plastics, dielectrics, and semiconductors, with about two dozen deposition materials. They will use the $660,000 grant, which lasts for three years, to increase control over the process and speed up the growth of materials, while still maintaining a high aspect ratio of deposited material in the nanostructures.
"Wherever electrons strike the surface, you can grow the deposit," said Fedorov. "That provides a tool for growing complex three-dimensional structures from a variety of materials with resolution at the tens of nanometers. Electron beam induced deposition is much like inkjet printing, except that it uses electrons and precursor molecules in a vacuum chamber." Scaling up the process, in terms of increasing production volumes, will also be possible by adding electron beams and precursor jets working in parallel.
