Under Dr. Koehly's leadership, the Social Network Methods Section focuses on three main scientific goals: 1) to develop methods that measure and model the complexities of relational systems, 2) to use such models to understand the social, psychological and communicative context of families at risk of hereditary and complex diseases, and 3) to translate these findings into effective network-based interventions. The section applies these goals within three ongoing lines of research.
In their first line of research, the section members aim to examine the influence of social relationships on the communication of genetic and genomic risk information within families (e.g., family health history, genetic test results). Recent efforts consider relational influences, such as behavioral encouragement, on individual health outcomes, including lifestyle and screening behaviors. One of the section's major findings is that family relationships are crucial to individual engagement in such behaviors, indicating the need for interventions that activate and enrich family connections. As new technologies advance the translation of genomic discoveries into clinical and public health settings, the role of the family network system in improving members' health outcomes has become more pronounced. Thus, Dr. Koehly engages in evaluating the influence of the familial social context on communication and encouragement processes, with the goal of defining interventions to promote healthy behaviors. Her research group has identified a set of common interpersonal processes underlying genetic risk communication within families for whom Lynch syndrome mutations and, separately, BRCA1/2 mutations, have been identified, or have not been identified. However, it is unclear whether these processes are analogous across disease contexts. Accordingly, the researchers currently are investigating genomic risk communication and adaptation to risk in families across a diverse array of disease assessments. They also are investigating the role of non-family network ties, and variability due to cultural or ethnic context.
Through one such initiative, Families SHARE, the researchers are focused on developing tools to help families understand the role of family health history in their risk of common complex disease. These tools are not only educational, but also provide a platform for family members to engage in conversations about shared risk and to develop cooperative approaches for risk reduction. The researchers have developed a Families SHARE workbook that has been evaluated by key stakeholders in the community and is currently being used in a cross-cultural randomized control trial. In addition, the section has begun to translate the Families SHARE workbook to a web-based application, providing a research infrastructure for families to use for gathering and sharing their family health history information.
Other goals in the Koehly group are to understand how genetics/genomics, biology and social relationships intersect. In one such project, the group studies genetic and other biological susceptibilities to social and environmental influences. They consider how genetic markers associated with sensation-seeking and risk-taking might influence the structuring of social networks. Their working hypothesis is that those with shared risk markers for sensation-seeking/risk-taking tendencies will be more likely to affiliate with each other, creating an informal social group that can be targeted for intervention. Such interventions might engage these informal groups in positive health behaviors that address members' shared biological needs for sensation-seeking. In so doing, these interventions may capitalize on informal social relationships for sustainable behavior change.
In another project, Dr. Koehly is investigating how social relationships become subject to strain. Her group examines how social connections may improve resilience or exacerbate vulnerability of families with high levels of caregiving burden. They recently completed a pilot study to investigate caregiving networks that surround those affected by Alzheimer's disease, characterized by professional care providers and informal caregivers. This work has expanded to consider caregiving across the life course by studying caregiving for children affected by chronic health conditions, such as inborn errors of metabolism or Tay Sachs disease, as well as for adults affected by diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. This research will consider biomarkers of stress and potential contagion of these markers among family members. The goal of this work is twofold: 1) to identify factors associated with resilience to chronic stress in families with high caregiver burden, and 2) to identify points of intervention that reduce stress response and improve health of those involved in caring for a loved one affected by chronic illness.
The third arm of research focuses on the development of methods to model the complexities of social systems in three broad areas. First, Dr. Koehly's research group explores problems in network measurement. This research aims to identify optimal approaches for combining multiple relational measurements that tap into the same underlying construct, with the goal of developing measures of reliability and validity for relational constructs. Second, the group aims to address the incomplete social network data common to the study of family systems or community-based research. These methods use a Bayesian approach and imputation methods to "fill in the blanks" observed due to missing nodes and missing relational ties, offering a fuller picture of participant family systems, and to apply social network methods developed for complete networks to these studies. Finally, Dr. Koehly's group is developing methods to address questions related to informant accuracy. In so doing, they can identify key players in the network system that might be identified as family genomics health educators or primary care providers, based on assessments obtained from multiple informants.

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by noonehereyet, Nov 24, 2008.
I don
Agreed, and this thread should be very interesting!
I actually went to an appointment today at the genius bar at apple because the home button on my daughters ipod touch stopped working...I went in, sat down, waited about 5 minutes. The guy came up and asked what I needed. I told him about my problem...and no questions asked, he went in the back and came out with a brand new one, I signed a slip of paper and out the door I went with a brand new ipod.
It just so happened that I had my G1 on the counter because I was reading some feeds while I was waiting. He asked me if he could take a look at it and made the comment "soooo...this is the Iphone killer eh". I told him that I also have an iPhone and that the two do not even really compare...its apples and oranges...two phone built for two different purposes. After playing with it for a couple minutes, he was really into it. He even called a couple other colleagues over to check it out. (One is even a T-mobile customer and wants to get it but doesnt know what management would think).
I honestly do not think anything compares to apples customer service...T-mobile would put me through the ringer if I walked in with a broken phone...and HTC would not even let me in the door (figure of speech). But I do like my G1 a lot for what it is and for what it has the potential to become.
Eventually I have a feeling that there will be two types of devices...Android powered and Mac OS powered. WinMo may be around on some chinese clones...but skinned to look like one of the above.
Agreed apple has good dare I say near great customer service but so does kia and hyundai but they need it because of inferior product or at least inferior in some form weather it be quality or function the only reason to have extremely good customer service is if your product needs it....so back to the reason for you went to the apple store in the first place the ipod broke.... i own a sansa and a creative labs mp3 neither one has ever given me trouble and I use them on average 4 to 5 hours a day 6 days a weak as my job requires ALOT of walking... So as for the topic why do apple fans fight so hard to keep everything they use apple? just don't understand... for example would you only buy factory parts for your car including motor oil air filters etc? or do you buy cheaper more efficient after market parts?
I have both the iPod Touch and the G1. So I can really only
compare them on usage via WiFi and for the non-phone
For most functionality, the iPod Touch is slightly more
polished and slightly easier to use.
But the real difference is in what the iPod Touch (or iPhone)
simply cannot do.
Case in point -- I have a very nice ssh applications for
both (iSSH for the iPod Touch and ConnectBot for Android).
ConnectBot supports ssh tunnels, iSSH does not.
This is not an oversight on the part of the iSSH developers.
The simple fact is that an ssh tunnel cannot work on the
iPod Touch/iPhone because if the ssh application is running
there is nobody to use the tunnel.
With the G1 I can use the tunnel to route my SMTP
output via a secure tunnel back to my home machine.
From there it only goes over my ISPs network to reach
the actual SMTP server.
I can also configure my home server to only make
certain materials available to 127.0.0.1, so I can use
an ssh tunnel to fetch them remotely, but nobody else
can access them.
Those are just two examples of the fundamental difference
between achieving security by multiple concurrent java
sandboxes and by only allowing one application to run
at a time.
On last night's Gadget Show (UK Channel 5) they tried to get one of the presenters off Apple products. This is part two iPhone vs G1......
While the iPod line has nicely, feature rich products, their flaw is their limitation. The reluctance to allow or even develop apps outside of apple products itself sounds similar to what MS started doin' ... creatin' a small monopoly.
yup anything that forces you to use or by with in their own will eventually lose it's ground and status and followers just like all the others before them...
T-Mobile needs to start having the same type of customer service, and they should be goooooood.
I've had great service with TMO. I haven't had to deal with Apple, so I can't compare.
I had an unlocked iPhone for a little while and I can't say that I didn't like it. The onscreen keyboard was flawless for me and, of course, the iPod feature is second to none. A lot of people bash the G1 and say that the iPhone is way better. Most of those people, however, are the ones that don't know what open source truly means. A little bit of patience and some great developers are gonna make the Android OS the best mobile OS out there. That's just my 2 cents though.
yea i've been an avid iphone fan for awhile.. so people around me always ask me which one i like best... and its hard for me to explain that i still like the iphone better.. but i'm waiting for android to take off.
I have honestly always been a big Apple fan. I love Apple and just the way they make things work and they are inventors. But what I don't like about Apple is how they limit EVERYTHING. Can you imagine how much further along they would be if they would just let everyday people like you in me in to help push them to success. Well we're about to/are finding out with Android.
Ps. as big as I am an Apple fan as I am a way bigger Google fan so I pick G1 hands down. Not only because Google always keeps things moving forward but because of the fact that Android is open source and that means a lot to me which is why Linux is my main partition on my computer.
lol, ok this is how i see it. apple is a nazi company that only allows certain things cuz they want to keep theyre customers in check. apple has so much potential to be the greatest os ever, but they dont live up to it. they are limited to apps and programs that apple checks and checks and checks. pretty much if a new app dev trys and makes a app for apple it prolly would take a pretty long time to get out to the public. im guessing it would be a dev that has previous history with apple to get into the market. ok ill admit the iphone is pretty legit, but it took almost 2 years to get there. if the G1 is being compared to something that has been trying to get perfected for the last 2 years then im happy. that means in 2 years from now the iphone would be obsolete to the G1. lets look at the facts..........iphone cons: no removable mem (expandable memory), no removable batt, no picture mail, no internal compass, no qwerty keyboard, no track ball, no potential to be the best phone ever, and most important, no insurance! the G1 may not be the best looking phone/device, but guess what? this thing will change your life! thank you HTC!
I'm an iPhone user, and also have a Macbook Air. BUT I'm not a fanboi - I run MS Vista on the Air, and only have it cos it's slimmer and lighter than most other laptops. I'd switch to another manufacturer without hesitation if they made a machine better suited to my needs.
Hee hee. That makes me chuckle. I spend a lot of time on MacRumors, and believe me you'd get shot for that comment on there. However, I have to agree with you. Apple is no better than their favourite whipping boy MS.
I have to disagree with this though. Remember that the iPhone will also evolve over the next 2 years, so who know's where it will be.
As for the iPhone vs G1 argument :
I have a G1 and think it's a great device. But for me, the iPhone still just edges it. It's a nicer device to hold and use, with a more sensitive touch-screen. Also the multi-touch is very nice.
However the G1 browser is faster (compared on WiFi), and the interface has a number of nice features, giving a lot more flexibility than iPhone.
For me, the iPhone is ahead at the moment. But as the 3rd party developers get going, and new handsets come out I suspect the balance will shift in Android's favour. I see that multitouch has already been made available.
I have to say though that I think iPhone, Android, Symbian, MS, and Blackberry will all continue to co-exist for a while. Remember that everyone has different need and requirements.
BTW, on a side note, I have to say that this forum seems to be populated with considerably more balanced and mature people than the Mac forums. So although I still use the iPhone, I have to say it's much nicer talking Android with you guys!!
wow this is a first for me, tmo's customer service is the reason i've been a customer since 2002. Now i will admit i've never had to deal with apple's customer service to compare but unless they giving out dandelion's and lollipops i can't imagine customer service better than what i've always experienced with t-mobile. Real talk!
Personally I don't like comparing the two but whatever floats ya boat. I own an Ipod, I use Itunes, I would never switch from my android to an Iphone but I will give apple their props on great products. I will stay loyal to HTC, GOOGLE, AND T-MOBILE AND RIDE THIS THING TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF. IT'S LIKE I KNOW WHERE THE FUTURE IS GOING AND IT'S ANDROID. I agree with the person who said all these multiple smart phones and the like will co-exist for a time. People do have different needs.
that was cool to watch! As for the second test i think the only reason she lost was because of her own personal speed not the phone's i watched them both and she was slow as mollasses.
I wouldn't say the iphone is ahead at all I would say at the moment it is just much more refined as it should be having been out much longer...
As for as being more balanced I wouldn't say that, I have my preferences as do many others.... To put it better I just think we are just technology based and that means we want the newest and best functioning product with the best ability to personalize or manipulate to suite out needs.....
He (Jason) was obviously going to be faster at using the iphone hardware (as it was his phone) than Susi was going to be on a phone she'd probably only seen on that day. She did manage to get him off itunes on to last.fm though (video 1)
Open source is what sold me on the G1. I was so close to getting the Iphone but the android OS has SOOO much potential I couldn't pass on it. I wanna see all the apps that they're gonna create for this thing. Basically anything they wanna make since it's not restricted. I love emulators especially if it's a GBA or SNES emulator. I love this phone.
The Apple icon logo has been nothing to be but a mix-pop culture fad. An symbolic interaction of being hip and current up to date with today's top hot things to get in college or for social lifestyle. I have nothing against Apple. Their machine is very clean and friendly. Even though I do not own a MacBook or iPhone (but have played with my friends) it's really nothing that hype about. Touch screen, multi-taps/touch, wi-fi, bluetooth all around old technologies. To me at least. What makes the iPhone stand was that it was you could say the first ever phone that incorporated all these new functions such as app development by 3rd parties, MobileMe, and Exchange/Enterprise. Like every piece of technology/hardware, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Some are more down to Earth and some are Steve Job nut huggers. Haha.
I own an iPod 4th Gen Nano. That is the only thing I own that is Apple. Haha.
I switched from an iPhone 3G to my bronze G1. What does that tell you?
What got me was that the G1 was slimmer, and it had more heft to it. And OPEN SOURCE!! I hate how Apple plays cybernanny on its customers, and it really bothers me when people who have no clue about technology in general say that Mac is better than Windows.
That may just be what it comes down too in the end on who wins the mobile software wars.... If everyone gets tired of being told what they can or can't do or if they become mindless drones like most people did with windows....
i agree. most people dont understand, though, so i think that people will just follow apple's path until android can show its capabilities. then, maybe the public could make more informed decisions instead of "bit the iphone is SiCKKK!!!!11!11!!"

Interest: specific inclusions: discounts
Discounts and premiums
Paying interest is only one way in which a borrower may 'reward' a lender. Debt securities, such as government or corporate bonds, may be issued at a discount. For example, a 5-year bond may have a nominal value of £1,000, but be issued for £800. When the investor redeems the bond at maturity, he or she will receive £1,000 - the £200 profit, or 'original issue discount', represents the investor's reward for lending. A security that is issued at a discount may carry interest as well, or it may be interest-free (a zero coupon bond).
A third way of rewarding an investor is by redeeming the security at a premium. The nominal value of the security is, say, £800, and any interest is calculated on a principal amount of £800, but when the security matures the investor will get back (say) £1,000.
But many investors will - rather than subscribing for a security and then holding it to maturity - buy and sell securities in the market. The difference between the purchase price and the face value of the security is called 'market discount'.

Method of removing wood ticks, developed by Dr. Murakami, involves a subdermal injection at the bite site of a solution of Xylocaine and adrenalin. Successful in forcing the tick to retract its mouthparts and pull head out of skin, without emptying stomach contents into host (which would result in transmission of borellia bergdorferi spirochaete responsible for Lyme Disease) * Please Note: This procedure should only be done by a physician. Straw and knot method is another method used by Dr. Murakami. The success of this method lies in the subtle but constant upward pressure on the string once the tick is "caught" with the knot.

I guess the Democrats still don't realize that this past election was all about courting the moderates, because they still are entrenched in their love affair with the far left.
I guess you can consider her "far left" considering the American public has moved about 20 miles to the right within the last year and change.
Considering that embracing "the moderates" resulted in the idiots taking control of congress, and then were campaigned against by the President they supported, what is your point, exactly?
Isn't clear enough? Sheesh.

Technology has eaten most of today's generation of children seeing most of them stuck inside their homes and doing nothing other than playing computer games or whiling their time away with a new application downloaded on their cell phones. But, everyone is aware that exercise and physical activity is very vital in promoting a child's health, although these children are uninterested in outside play.
Because of this, parents should be more inclined to get their kids off the couch and encourage more physical activities and improve their social skills too in the process. Karate, which is a form of martial arts, is a superb way of getting your kids into exercising and doing some physical activity and at the same time encouraging socialization with other children. Yes, the positive advantage of doing karate is a lot.
Karate for many parents is deemed to encourage violence and bad behaviour making them apprehensive of allowing their kids to learn the art. This belief, however, is unfounded and very little write ups suggest that children who learn martial arts such as karate are more violent than others. Karate is a great activity that is enjoyable and at the same time develops a child's wellness, improves focus and maintains discipline. Taking a class in karate not only promotes body movements but also teaches self-discipline, honour and attention. Kids will learn how to defend themselves and acquire fighting skills within the confines of a safe setting that will promote brotherhood and discipline. Overtime, karate classes will build one's character more than just learning how to fight.
It is established that karate lessons develop better health and wellness. Increased physical activity does not only exercise the legs and arms but also the heart muscles improving its strength and promotes better distribution of oxygen through the entire body. The greatest martial artist and karate experts are more flexible and are able to adapt to different situations and thus are stronger physical and mentally. Being physically active prevents children from acquiring long term health concerns like obesity and health problems and also will keep them from being locked in front of computer screens that will in time may damage their eyes. Not only does the body become healthy, but through karate, the mind also becomes healthy. Karate improves a lot of things about a child's personality like their confidence and their self-worth letting them live a healthier life.
Karate lessons are also a recommended activity for children who have behaviour issues. Parents with children who have attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity disorders will find that a few lessons of karate will improve their child's attentiveness and help keep their focus. Children with such concerns not only acquire improved concentration but are also able to use their extra energy to express themselves in a positive manner.
In the end, parents should be more encouraging when it comes to their children doing exercise and other physical movement.

Court Vacates Entry of Default for Defendant Whose Attorney "Forgot" to File an Answer
In Tesillo v. Emergency Physician Associates, Inc., 230 F.R.D. 287 (W.D.N.Y. Sep. 30, 2005) the court granted a motion to vacate entry of default on the grounds that the defendant's failure to file an answer was innocent and inadvertent and was non-prejudicial to the plaintiff. The case also provides a good example of a court evaluating a defendant's motion to vacate an entry of default. The court noted that in considering motions to vacate entries of default, courts must consider "(1) whether the default was willful; (2) whether setting aside the default judgment would prejudice the adversary; and (3) whether a meritorious defense is presented." The court then found that the default was not willful because defense counsel "inadvertently and innocently forgot" to file an answer after the court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss. Because plaintiff could show no prejudice and because factual disputes remained for resolution, the Court granted the defendant's motion to vacate the entry of default and denied plaintiff's motion for a default judgment.

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for the Santa Barbara mountains because of upcoming fire conditions.
The warning takes effect Friday tonight and will continue throughout the weekend as a combination of strong winds, low humidity, and warm temperatures develop in the area.
On Saturday afternoon, Santa Ana winds will pass through the area, bringing the most significant fire threat in the past five years, according to a press release from the County Fire Department.

I just read my Mom's blog (MemeLorie) and I noticed her sweet little count down clock on the right of her page. I am starting to get a little scared. The count down clock says that we have twelve weeks and three days left. I am excited and nervous at the same time if that is possible. In a short amount of time I will have three beautiful little ladies to care for. Sometimes I wonder if I am even capable of taking care of myself. God has definitely blessed me beyond that which I deserve. I hope that one day I will stand before him, and he will tell me that I did right by my girls. I hope that one day my children will be able to tell me that they remember some of the lessons that I hope I am teaching them. I hope above everything that they can feel a fraction of my love for them.

Look Back and Look Forward
After reading Dana's post I decided that it is very fitting to write today about our memories of September 11, 2001. I think that without looking back we lose our focus when moving forward. To think that it has been seven years today is a little overwhelming. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be Liz Glick and Lisa Beaman or any of the countless other women left by their husbands that day so normally without any thought to what the next few minutes, hours, days, months, or even years would bring. Just to be a spectator was so painful, but as an American I guess we all share a small piece of the victimization.
It was Tuesday morning, and I was still asleep. Donny had I had been married for exactly one month and the future seemed very bright and limitless. I had a job interview that day, and I was very anxious. I was taking classes on the arsenal through my university (Athens State) so for the first time in my life I was going onto the arsenal daily. Mom called and woke us up and told us to turn on the TV. She could not even explain what was going on. As soon as I turned on the TV I knew that it was bad, yet I had no actual concept of how bad it really could get. Visions of the life I had planned and anticipated seemed to freeze only to be replaced by uncertainty and fear. My major in school was history so I was immersed in the study of conflict and if you have knowledge about any of the wars that we have been engaged in then the possibility of these events becoming a present day reality is crippling. To have conflict on American Soil was so far fetched to anyone of my generation, almost unthinkable. One of my classes was actually in Middle Eastern History so most of the names and faces that would soon become known to everyone else in the nation via our headline news educations were somewhat familiar to me. For the first time in my lifetime I felt vulnerable to the presence of outside opposition... would these madmen bomb the arsenal, would troops come marching on our soil. Incident after incident the fear that I felt grew and multiplied.
The TV was no longer a source of entertainment for me and my husband with the countless retellings of the fateful day and the pictures of our brothers and sisters covered in ash and sadness. Each time that I saw the image of the planes flying into the towers my heart felt the same blow almost like it took my breath away, and I think that if and when I see the images even now I would feel the same. Thank God that the worst did not get any worse in terms of more attacks since 9-11, but I pray that we never let our guard down. I feel that we should also be thankful for the steadfast leadership of our president, and give him the credit that he deserves for guiding his country through the unthinkable. George W. Bush may not be remembered for being a modern day Abe Lincoln, but he did what he had to do and I am glad that he was there to lead us through that time in history. President Bush should also be remembered for helping to keep our nation safe in the time since 9-11.. in a world that we thought we would never live in.

Daddy is out numbered for sure!!
Add one more girl to the tribe!! Today we found out that the baby is indeed a she, and boy is she! She had her little legs wide open for the world to see. She even managed to do a few little tricks for her siblings! Baby now needs a name. If anyone has any suggestions for a sweet little girl name I need your help. We can't figure out what we like best! If we use your name..I will have to think of something cool to do.

Hunter's Journey
If you have some time check out little Hunter in this video that his Mom made for him to take to school. It must be hard for other kids to understand what he has been through. He is truely a special child, and an inspiration to me.
I cried the whole time to think that a little person had to go through this yet he still has so much hope. Praise God for his clean bill of health, and for his recent baptism.

The Broken Jar, Part 1
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast more gladly about my weaknesses, so that God's power may rest upon me. That is why for Christ sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. II Cor. 12:9-10
This is my prayer, it came to me in the darkness of the early morning hours.
I am a broken jar. Paul says in II Corinthians that we are like jars of clay, highly ordinary and very breakable. Still despite this truth God has chosen to store his truth in me and bless me beyond that which I deserve.
Lately things have been especially trying for me internally, but this is just a excerpt from the journey. I am calling this my crazy pregnancy (no disrespect to my unborn angel, just a commentary on the state of Mommy's emotions). Those that are very close to me may not be extremely surprised. You have seen me unravel like a ball of yarn emotionally many times over the past two years more often than not. I am living with the realization that I am human, therefore I am far from perfection. I often get overwhelmed with motherhood and all that it entails, not because I do not enjoy my children-they ARE my existence. I just often feel like someone has handed me the plans to a beautiful mansion and said, "BUILD IT!"
In future posts I will elaborate on some of the words that have been put into my heart. I think that there must be a purpose for sharing them or else I just couldn't do it. Until then, thank you to all the other women that allow me to see through your blogs about REAL life that we do not have all the answers, and that is ok. In the mean time I will be working on putting the jar back together with help from my father.

Mommygirl lives....
If this blog relationship seems one sided I apologize. Life has taken me far away from the computer lately. The kids are growing, and I am growing too. I think that it maybe a whole lot cuter when the kids gain weight! I was recently blessed with a wonderful surprise birthday present from my husband and Meme and Papa.. a new laptop. Maybe with my new toy blogging and motherhood with cross paths more often, but do not hold your breath (unless of course your name is David Blaine).
Tonight I told my friend Anna that writing has not come very easily to me lately. Most of the things that I would have on my mind probably would not seem very entertaining to others.
Consider yourself warned..here comes Not so Deep thoughts by Mommygirl.
Here are a few of my favorite things. These things seem to get me through the hard days that really should not be hard, because I am blessed beyond belief.
The beautiful smiles of my daughters, an unexpected kiss from my husband, Jello (give me a break I am pregnant so you know that some of my favorite things will be food!), seeing good things happen to good people, watching my children and my friends children grow up, having real conversations with my four year old, snuggling with my whole family, a variety of very eclectic TV shows that I tivo, calls from my favorite women (Mom this includes you), and learning from those older and wiser than me.
Less than three weeks until we learn the gender of our little bean!!

It's "Sheer-luck" That This is Being Released on DVD!!
E. Hornaday | Lawrenceville, NJ United States | 01/23/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"While some have ridiculed this Sherlock Holmes' parody, I love it and rejoice at its long-awaited DVD release. Made in 1975, funny man Gene wilder wrote, directed and starred in the film, which also boasts the incomparable talents of the late and truly lamented Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman. It also stars Dom DeLuise and Leo (Rumpole of the Bailey) McKern.
Wilder, a well-schooled actor in parodies having starred earlier in his career with Kahn and Feldman in Mel Brooks' classic and beloved "Young Frankenstein," turned is considerable skills to create this loving send-up of the world's most famous sleuth. Wilder was well-equipped to do so as he is a life-long Conan Doyle fan and bonafide member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a famous real-life Sherlockian scholarly society whose members include Christopher Morley. (In this film, Brooks has a cameo role, but he is heard and not seen.)
In this Victorian era film, Wilder portrays Sigerson Holmes, the "smarter" but very jealous younger brother of the brilliant Consulting Detective, whom he derisively refers to as "Sheer-luck." (In the Conan Doyle canon, "Sigerson" was an alias Sherlock Holmes used during his "missing years" after his falsely believed death-plunge at the Richenback Falls at the hands of his evil nemesis, Professor James Moriarty; while Mycroft Holmes was actually Sherlock's smarter brother.)
In the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother, Sigerson begins an investigation, at the request of Sherlock, into the disappearance of a vital cache of government documents. Sherlock and Dr. John Watson leave England to travel to the Continent on another assignment, apparently confounded by the missing document mystery.
Kahn, who in her life was a classically trained singer, was given the opportunity to showcase her impressive vocal talents as Jenny Hill/Bessie Underwood/Opera singer, a compulsive liar and Sigerson's love interest. The film is well worth watching if for nothing else than a zany drawing room musical scene when Sigerson and Jenny first meet, which culminates in the truly unforgettable, "Kangaroo Hop."
Feldman is Sigerson's Watson, Sgt. Orville Sacker of Scotland Yard who possesses "photographic hearing," and who, along with Jenny, help Sigerson recover the documents and thwart Moriarty (with some invaluable behind-the-scenes assistance from Sherlock Holmes!)
McKern is wonderfully evil as the new Moriarty, while DeLuise is a bumbling blackmailer.
This film is fun, wacky, sweet and very off-beat. Kudos to Wilder for choosing to enlist his old partners Kahn and Feldman, providing yet another permanent chapter in their unforgettable and immortal careers!"
Wilder & Company's Hysterical Homage to Sherlock Holmes
Robert W. Jacoby | El Cajon, California United States | 07/21/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Gene Wilder's "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" has a unique snap & sparkle, with a thread of insanity, that makes it one of my favorite film comedies. While very funny and often irreverant, the film pays affectionate tribute to the wonderful Conan Doyle franchise of Holmes' stories. It is also well-produced, with brooding photography and honest depictions of period London settings. But perhaps the best thing about "Holmes' Smarter Brother" is its zany cast, from Marty Feldman, Madelaine Kahn and Wilder himself, to wonderfully crazed performances by Leo McKern as the infamous Dr. Moriarty and Dom DeLuis as a bizarrely-affected opera impressario. This film is first rate FUN and should become a classic in the comedic vein of Mel Brooks'"Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles" and "High Anxiety". I highly recommend "Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" and hope we can all soon add it to our DVD collections."
Gene Wilder's Funniest Movie
Julie S. Robertson | Santa Clarita, CA United States | 03/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is by far Gene Wilder's funniest movie. I can't believe that the studios haven't released this on DVD yet. I have never laughed so hard as I did watching this film. If you like The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, you will go nuts for The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother. I have been waiting not so patiently for Amazon to notify me that it is out on DVD. HURRY, Please!"
Classic Gene Wilder
Julie S. Robertson | 04/07/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"If you love Gene Wilder, this movie is a must see. I saw it when it first came out and then again last year. This is one of the funniest movies ever made. I looked for it everywhere last year, and finally saw it on some movie channel. This has to be on DVD! I hope the studio who has the rights comes to their senses!"

I've been going through a phase of fondness for denim everything, be it bags, shoes or dresses. And if it's ripped denim, it's probably stolen my heart at first sight. So you can only imagine my delight when I spotted these shoes on MakeMeChic! Now you're surely aware of my MakeMeChic obsession, so I'm not going to delve into that anymore. I even wore a pair of their heels on my birthday (stay tuned for more on that).
They had a few options in denim shoes, including a pair of ripped court heels, and I was torn between this pair and that. It ultimately came down to the tan accents on these heels that helped me make my decision. I paired these heels with my all-time favourite white midi from StalkBuyLove, and a powder blue shirt dress I snagged from Vero Moda's sale. I decided to keep the look subtle, and glammed it up a little with a faux leather tassel necklace from The Classy Castle, and added a little contrast to the ensemble with my tan fringe bag.
I'm thinking of doing another outfit around these heels, maybe when I get a little more time on my hands. Have a fun Friday!

Comics : Spider-Man Unlimited #11
Edit Review
Edit Title
This story is part of an Arc: "Return of Spider-Man"
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5
This review was first published on: 2004.
Ben's been a busy boy for the last little while, what with discovering that he isn't a clone, then thwarting the Jackal's evil plot, then saving reality from the New Doctor Octopus, then having the Scarlet Spider's reputation dragged through the mud by the holographically-created Scarlet Spider (who doesn't show up in these titles, only in the last issues of "Web").
Now that the people of New York are out to get the Scarlet Spider, Ben decides it's a good idea to become the man he thought he'd never be again... Spider-Man! Ben has started to fit into Peter's routine, with not too many problems so far. Of course, he hasn't yet met... the Black Cat!
In Detail...
Spider-Man Unlimited #11 (Story 1)
Jan 1996 : SM Title
Summary: Black Cat, First Skull-Jacket
Arc: Part 5 of "Return of Spider-Man"
Staff Only
|Articles: Ben Reilly, Black Cat, Jameson, J. Jonah, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, Robertson, Joe "Robbie"
The plot is a souped-up whodunnit with every one's favorite wall-crawler as the confused detective. Felicia Hardy is the prime suspect, and Ben fights off a badly-hidden crush as he accuses her, and then reluctantly agrees to let her inspect the murder of a wealthy woman with him.
Turns out a villain named Skull Jacket (who has the same appearence-altering technology as the Chameleon) dunnit, and then impersonated the lady's son to inherit a fortune. After the mystery's solved, Cat (who is handling this whole "my ex-boyfriend is a super-powered clone" thing very well) unmasks Ben and kisses him!
Black Cat is now the fourth person in New York to know Spidey's new identity. Who are the other three? Well, there's Ben (of course), Seywerd Trainer (who's still in a coma from Amazing Scarlet Spider #1) and Kaine (who is no longer dead). Personnally, I'm all for a Spidey-Cat couplehood, but I hope Ben could handle it better than Peter did.
In General...
Unlimited #11 was written far better than #10, and for this Fabian Nicieza can be congratulated. The art is also great, thanks to Dave Hoover's pencil work, and Joe Rubinstein's inking. Another great January title.
This story wraps up the "Return of Spider-Man" arc. So what's the final verdict? The stories were terrific, as individual comics. The individuality of this month's issues was probably the best feature, and topping the art is a considerable accomplishment! Also, in each monthly title there was a page or two of foreshadowing to the upcoming Media Blizzard story line.
In Sensational, Mysterio steals the DIT chip. In Amazing, he tests it out. In Spider-Man, he buys a T.V station, and in Spectacular (gotta search for a connection in this one), a T.V. proves mesmerizing to young Devon at the Daily Grind. Although I miss Pete and MJ, I forgive Marvel (and thank them for moving the Parkers instead of killing them off).
Overall Rating...
Ah, what the heck... five webs, a perfect score, and a great way to wrap up the Return of Spider-Man!

President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the Nigerian Armed Forces to take over the patrol of the nation's borders.
The main thrust of the patrol is to track down criminal elements within the vicinity of border communities prone to terrorist activities.
A statement signed by the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade, on Wednesday said the patrol team would be made up of the Armed Forces, the police and other security agencies.
Olukolade added that the troops will also focus on every suspected terrorist enclave and cell in the various border communities.
The statement reads: "In furtherance of the Commander-in-Chief's directive, the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police and other security agencies have commenced operations to rid the nation's border territories of terrorist bases and activities.
"The operations, which will involve massive deployment of men and resources, are aimed at asserting the nation's territorial integrity and enhancing the security of constituted governmental structures in all territories within Nigeria's borders.
"The operational plans have also briefed participating troops appropriately on arrests, cordon and search especially directed at apprehending those who have been violating sovereignty of Nigeria through terrorist training for insurgency and related activities.
"The operation is expected to put an end to insurgent activities in these parts of the country.
The Defence Headquarters said measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of civilians and non-combatants while the operation lasts.
The authorities of the Armed Forces enjoined communities in the border areas to cooperate with troops and supply necessary information on criminal and terrorist activities.

February 2008
By Katherine Ryzhaya
Twenty-fourth Street in Noe Valley is a place where new parents push their strollers, dot-com couples walk their tiny dogs, and shopkeepers display their lovely merchandise for the weekend foot traffic. Dining choices around here span the world. In life's hustle and bustle, you would never know we are here...but we are.
If you have ever walked past our house, you probably didn't give it a second thought. A private residence; an extension of St. Philip's School perhaps. But no, it is our home. And we would like to introduce ourselves to the neighborhood once again (the Voice first published an article in June 2006).
In residence on 24th Street, between Douglass and Diamond, are seven young scholars who, together, comprise the San Francisco chapter of Boys Hope Girls Hope (BHGH), a nonprofit that provides at-risk, yet academically capable, youth with a stable home, growth opportunities, positive parenting, and a high-quality education.
BHGH was founded on the belief that given better circumstances children with promise can reach their potential. Since 1991, the organization has been making a long-term commitment to fundamentally change children's environment from one that is destructive to one filled with opportunity and hope.
The record speaks for itself. 100 percent of BHGH's high school graduates have gone on to college. Scholars have attended Harvard Law School, New York University, Penn State, Air Force Academy, Boston College, Dartmouth, Georgetown, and West Point, among others. The children enrolled in BHGH's program are as diverse as their reasons for needing the services, but they all have one thing in common: They have demonstrated academic potential and expressed the desire to receive a quality education, but their family situation or community environment was not supporting their academic, social, emotional, or physical development.
At BHGH, scholars spend the school week with other kids, house parents, and college-age tutors, but can go home on weekends. Their parents can visit them, too. One would be surprised to learn that Darrell, a 13-year-old kid from the Tenderloin, has an affinity for Chinese history and Russian literature, and can probably tell you all you ever wanted to know (and all that you didn't) about the Mongol Empire. Oh, and he has a 3.5 GPA in one of the most challenging middle school programs in San Francisco. He is just one of many that BHGH won't let "fall through the cracks."
Naturally however, the BHGH scholars still experience lifestyle limitations as compared to their private-school peers. Since BHGH obviously cannot afford many "extras"--the organization is already providing housing, schooling, computers, medical benefits, etc.--it falls to compassionate individuals to further improve the scholars' circumstances. A recent fundraiser, hosted by the BHGH volunteers and held at Town Hall Restaurant, generated enough profit to set up an incentive-based learning system where if a scholar substantially increased his GPA, he "earned" the much-coveted iPod (yes, a "luxury" most Noe Valley kids take for granted).
So welcome us. Say hi if you see us on the street. And do take the opportunity to make an impact and directly benefit some very deserving kids. It's quite easy to support our community-based organization. In addition to cash donations, we always need school supplies and household items. We can always use volunteer tutors and mentors. You can take us to the movies or help us with internship opportunities and college applications.
Oh yes, and if you own a restaurant, you can always send some pizza our way. Pasta Pomodoro and La Ciccia already have!
For more information, please visit www.bhghsf.org.
Katherine Ryzhaya is a volunteer and associate board member of Boys Hope Girls Hope. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
THERE'S NOE TELLING what you have stored up that you'd like to say to your fellow readers of the Voice. Send your op-ed pieces, particularly those about Noe Valley people, places, or projects, to email@example.com. Please include an address and phone number. Thank you.

On Monday September 17 The Rockland Country Club hosted Westwood Girl scout troops 4010 and 4730 for a "Monarch Tagging day". After a brief lecture about the Monarch Butterflies Life Cycle 17 girls toured the course in search for monarchs. The Program is a combined effort of a
monarch tagging program
called monarch watch whose mission is to save the Monarch butterflies by
educating the public and monitoring the butterfly migration habits. "Monarch butterfly populations are declining
due to loss of habitat. To assure a
future for monarchs, conservation and restoration of milkweeds needs to become
a national priority" Chip Taylor, Director, Monarch Watch. Rockland Country Club is an official Monarch
way station. That means that certain areas
are designated milkweed areas for monarch habitat. The only plant the monarchs lay their eggs on
is milk weed. We designate specific
areas where we let the plants grow. In
late summer we catch the adult butterflies and tag them with a special tag that
has its own identification number. We
have an example by our Audubon board outside of the locker rooms. If the butterfly is found in Kansas
the college can track its migration habits. The girl scouts had a great time
and learned a little about golf courses and there benefit to the environment
and what they can do to help the monarchs.
For more information on Monarchs go to Monarchwatch.org. Mexico
Yesterday we held our annual fishing derby. The fishing derby is a tribute to Mr. Bill Moran who was instrumental in getting our Audubon efforts started. 14 children participated and all had a great time. In the ten and over category the winning fish was caught by Ronan Kim and was 12 inches long. In the under ten category the winning fish was 13 inches long and caught by Adam Sujak. Not to be out done the winner in the girls category was Jordan Flamholz who caught a 12inch large mouth bass. We shared some laughs and learned a thing or two about how we manage our water quality with out using any chemicals.

Vasco Urbano Wine Company was created to showcase the exceptional Rhone style wines that are being grown and produced here in the Livermore Valley. We believe that the Livermore Valley's unique terroir is perfectly suited for the Rhone varieties Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah. In addition, we source fruit from other prime growing regions throughout the Central Coast in the spirit of the traveling artist Vasco Urbano Louriero. Together these wines represent our efforts to produce World Class Rhone style wines here in the Livermore Valley.
Tasting Notes
Our first ever attempt at a fortified wine went off without a hitch. We were fermenting our Viognier for white wine, and originally weren't planning on fortifying any of it, but the aromatics during the ferment had our crew thinking about how amazing this would be as a desert white – why not go for it? We're certainly glad we did! Tropical fruit driven, and just the right amount of sweetness. The wine is a testament to our passion and how we feel about improvising in the winery - sometimes the best decisions come from a creative standpoint over a regimented one. Enjoy!
The fruit was hand-picked on September 19th, brought to the winery & pressed whole cluster. The Juice was fermented cold in tank at 56 degree. A portion of the juice was racked from the main tank to a barrel at 11 brix & arrested with high grade brandy. Wine was coopered in 100% neutral French oak and underwent ML in barrel post arrest.

Take some time this afternoon, and enjoy some whimsical creations from Mr. Bruce McCall. Some of these are out of Major Howdy Bixby's Album of Forgotten Warbirds, others are from The Other Air Forces. All are perfectly legitimate and useful aircraft, if only they had actually been built.
The Smithsonian Air & Space Fly Now! poster collection is filled with aviation history, in large scale graphic format. This week, let's take a look at that lost luxury airline choice, the airship. Falling somewhere between the Titanic and the Concorde, a trans-Atlantic crossing could be completed in just days. See if these posters would have enticed you to take a little trip, floating along in your own sky cabin in the world of tomorrow. Just watch out for Nazis!

It's been 20 years since Jermaine Dupri hit up the scene with his SoSoDef imprint boosting the careers of Da Brat, Kriss Kross, Xscape, Bow Wow and lots more while along the way helping other career's such as Usher and Mariah Carey. To celebrate his 20 year career JD will be holding a SoSoDef concert in Atlanta on February 23rd.
To help promote the project JD has been doing the promotional rounds with many interviews which included The Breakfast Club where he chopped it up with JD Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne, where he spoke on good friend Mariah Carey's brand new album, Working with Usher and with past relationship with Janet Jackson. Check out the interview after the jump!
New Music by Usher Raymond and Diplo who scored a major Number 1 hit last year with the infectious 'Climax'. This track bares no similarities to the Latter which is good because in most situations many people are trying to recreate rather that be creative.

After 6 years away from the music scene Justin Timberlake is back with a brand new dope single 'Suit & Tie' featuring Hip Hop Icon Jay-Z. Justin was silently recording his brand new 2013 album 'The 20/20 Experience' from june of last year and finally has decided to come back with a bang shooting straight to Number 1 on the iTunes charts around the world. Well way back in 2002 Justin began his solo career with his debut single 'Like I Love You' which was featured on his Triple platinum album 'Justified' and the single went on to become a Top 20 hit on the billboard Hot 100 and even was certified platinum also. Justin premiered the song on the MTV VMA Awards show in 2002 and up until that moment the song had not been heard so it was very risky to debut in such a fashion with a performance on the world-wide stage such as MTV. The song produced by The legendary Neptune's and featured The Clipse who also performed alongside Justin for the debut of the single. Watch below as Justin shows he is up with the best of them such as Usher and Chris Brown with the dance sequences, live vocals and delivering a believable performance of R&B and Hip Hop which would eventually take Justin to higher heights in his career. Download 'Suit & Tie' On iTunes (more…)

what is csa and why should i participate?
The short answer:
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a partnership between farmers and eaters. By joining a CSA, you are committing to buying real food, improving your health, enhancing your connection to the community, and to improving the environment. What's not to love?!
The longer answer:
Responsibly grown, diverse, and fresh produce is the key to a healthy diet! Our commitment to you is to grow the most nutrient dense, clean food possible. You can eat with confidence because you will know the farmers, tour the farm, and ask any questions you might have!
By committing to getting veggies every week you're dedicating yourself to cooking real food with your family and friends. Cooking and eating with loved ones is a great way to connect after a busy day full of work, school, and soccer practice. Pick up a fork and give those iPhones a break!
We will host our weekly CSA pick up right in Downtown McMinnville. You'll have plenty of time to swing by, chat with your farmers, and connect with your fellow CSA members!
There is also a strong stewardship component to CSA. We are creating a vibrant ecosystem on the farm. The fungi and other little critters in the soil will work to help our plants grow strong; the plants create refuge for pollinators that are increasingly at risk. We will also be using the best possible practices for water management to ensure that water hungry veggies get enough and our river retains as much water as possible for fish and fun!

With a completely new UI update landing for the web client today, we can see that Google is really trying to grab and keep users for their social networking service. Now, UI updates come to services all the time, with re-focus for their apps and so forth. However, Google isn't necessarily trying to point out something new with this update, just show you what's been there the whole time. No big new features, no name-changes, just the same Google+ with a different look.
There is no doubt that they are trying put a bigger focus on Google Hangouts, one of the best features Google+ has to offer, and really, one of only things I use it regularly for. The entire right side of the page has been taken up by a chat bar, showing all users that are currently online with an option at the top to "start a Hangout." This really draws your attention when first getting to the site, much like what Facebook has done with their side-bar.
The profiles have also been redone, and it really just looks like an inverted version of Facebook's Timeline. Posts are lined up from the bottom in order you posted them like usual on G+, but much of the design layout is very reminiscent of what Facebook has just done with their profiles. They've even added the option to add a cover photo, with your profile picture laid neatly on top. They did, at least, put all of this on the right side of the page as opposed to Facebook having it on the left, but it is still very similar.
More after the break
One of the greatest pieces of the new UI is the column on the left displaying all of the places to go on Google+. To me, this really simplifies the whole experience and makes it really easy for new users to figure out what to do. All the necessary things have been added for users to view, such as Home, Profiles, Circles, and of course, Hangouts.
Overall, I really like the new design of G+, and I think it is much easier to use. The emphasis has been placed on the social service's best features, and showing people why they need to use Google+ is the way they'll bring in more users. Check out the video below showing the new update in action.

Databases The Many Faces of Databases Large databases can contain hundreds of interrelated files. Fortunately a database management system can shield users from the complex inner workings of the system, providing them with only the information and commands they need to get their jobs done. In fact, a well-designed database puts on different faces for different classes of users. Downsizing and Decentralizing The earliest file management programs could only do batch processing, which required users to accumulate transactions and feed them into computers in large batches. These batch systems weren't able to provide the kind of immediate feedback we expect today. Today disk drives, inexpensive m ...

Managing Information Systems In Organisations INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS INTRODUCTION In recent years, there has been an abundance of new technologies in the information systems field. These new technologies have altered the very development process itself. Information systems have gone from being a series of one level databases to three dimensional reality, virtual reality, and multimedia systems. In the early days of information systems, the demands were for data, with no real function of artificial intelligence. However, as the 21st century approaches, business has taken on an entirely different function, and the need for individual information systems has grown immensely. Th ...

The major technical challenge in speech recognition is to provide a high degree of accuracy while supporting use of continuous speech. Improving speaker independence and vocabulary size is of equal importance. According to Esther Schindler, "Speech will become more and more a part of computing and as it does so, the lines between "getting work done" and conscious computing will blur. The speed at which this change will occur will be based on the rate at which the technology becomes cheaper, faster, smaller, more efficient, and solves peoples problems. As ...

Object-Oriented Database Management Systems The construction of Object-Oriented Database Management Systems started in the middle 80s, at a prototype building level, and at the beginning of the 90s the first commercial systems appeared. The interest for the development of such systems stems from the need to cover the modeling deficiencies of their predecessors, that is the relational database management systems. They were intended to be used by applications that have to handle big and complex data such as Computer Aided Engineering, Computer Aided Design, and Office Information Systems. The area of the OODBMSs is characterized by three things. First, it lacks a common data model. There is no ...

In other words, user types and system types should have the same status although perhaps they are differently supported by the system itself. Persistence is one of the most basic features of a DBMS (at least the most evident one) and hence of an OODBMS. It is the ability of the programmer to have his/her own data survive the execution of a process so that he/she can eventually reuse it in another process. For an object-oriented system, there is an additional requirement which stems from the extensibility requirement, that any object must be able to b ...

The Use Of Data Warehouse In Decision Making Process INTRODUCTION It is obvious that there is no organization running without data. The data can be viewed as tangible assets of an organization just as any physical asset. So, they need to be stored and made available to those who need them when they need them. However, the data by themselves are useless. So, they must be put together to produce useful information. In turn, information becomes the basis for relational decision making. To facilitate the decision-making process, a new development of database systems was developed called "data warehouse".

It took about 15 hours to get a self-assessment from Rangers center Brain Boyle concerning his first game back from a concussion, and it came clear as possible.
"I stunk," Boyle said yesterday about his performance in the Capitals' 3-2 win in Game 2 of the conference semifinal at the Garden on Monday, Boyle's first game back after missing three straight.
"I've got to be better," Boyle said. "For the most part, we played well, but I've got to be better."
Boyle and the Rangers were preparing to head to Washington for tonight's Game 3, the series tied 1-1. By taking a big hit to the head from Chris Neil in Game 5 of the opening-round series against the Senators, it would have been easy for Boyle to explain away his performance, to lend logic to why he played the way he did.
Instead, Boyle did the exact opposite.
"At this point, it doesn't really matter," he said about why his game dropped off. "It's playoffs, I've got to be better than that."
Boyle said, "I'm good [physically]. … You don't have to ask me about my head." But because it was his first concussion, he did think about it during the game, yet did his best to focus on the task at hand.
"After I got banged around a little bit, we had some physical battles, I wasn't thinking about it too much," Boyle said. "But it was good. No ill effects.''
The main reason there is so much focus on Boyle is he was the Rangers' catalyst early in the first round, scoring three goals in the first three games of the playoffs — two of them game-winners — while the Rangers took the series lead over the Senators, 2-1.
He was effective in Game 4, but in the second period of Game 5, Neil lined him up and landed a shoulder directly into his head, stunning the 6-foot-6 Boyle and knocking him out of the final two games of the series, both of which the Rangers would win.
Asked if that was the best hockey of his career, Boyle said, "Probably in this league, Yeah. Four games, anyway.
"I felt pretty good physically, pucks going in," Boyle said. "That's a long time ago, a different series. Now we've got another team, and if I'm going to be a big part of it, like I want to be, I have to be better."
Boyle thought back to one specific series when he needed to be better, one more critical than any other in the game.
After the Rangers had erased a 2-0 deficit to tie it 2-2 with just under eight minutes remaining, the Capitals went on a power play and Boyle took the ice with the first-unit penalty kill. Consistently relied on in the regular season to take defensive-zone draws, Boyle skated up to the dot against Niklas Backstrom — and lost.
The puck went back to Alex Ovechkin, who immediately fired a rifle shot past Henrik Lundqvist for what would be the game-winning goal.
"I lose the draw clean, I don't block a shot, then we're down," Boyle said. "It just wasn't enough to win."
