It might have been those television commercials, courtesy of the Nova Scotia tourism bureau and featuring windswept coastline, historic architecture and vibrant fishing villages.
It might have been the little black and white sketch, long hanging on the walls of my home, of an old rowboat tied to a rocky shore, titled Fralic's Cove, Nova Scotia.
And it might have been the prescience of my best bud Doris, who said: "It's my birthday. Let's go to the Maritimes."
And so we landed in Halifax, the first week of June, astonished that after nine hours in the air, we were still in Canada, 4,433 kilometres by air and four hours ahead of home on the clock.
It was planned as a week-long vacation that was as much about a first-ever trip to Nova Scotia as it was about history and discovery, culture and architecture, reflection and friendship.
Charged with the itinerary, I had mapped out a road trip that followed a leisurely seaside route south from Halifax, along the bays and headlands of the South Shore, across by ferry to Bar Harbor, Maine and back to Yarmouth and up the Bay of Fundy to Wolfville, taking us full-circle back to Halifax.
Booked into homey B&Bs and luxurious inns, and looking forward to taking in the locals and their cuisine, we left Halifax and headed for Peggy's Cove, known for its iconic lighthouse, now a post office, and its gracious hospitality in the wake of the 1998 Swissair disaster.
The cove is an artist's dream canvas, from its paint-flaked dinghies and drydocked lobster traps to the handful of wood-frame homes dotted like barnacles on giant granite outcroppings.
There are fewer than 60 people living full-time in Peggy's Cove, subsisting on the sea and the 750,000 tourists who visit every year, most bused in from the cruise ships anchored in Halifax harbour.
With only one narrow main road, one B&B, one restaurant and handful of galleries and gift shops, it can be a clogged little spot, its rustic charm straining at the seams.
Farther along the lighthouse route was Lunenburg, custom built for a postcard with its crayon-coloured Victorian houses and shops clinging to the steep hill rising up from the docks.
The stately Bluenose II schooner (with its impressive 125-foot B.C. Douglas fir main mast), was, lucky for us, in home port and staffed with a crew of chatty young volunteers preparing to set sail for a summer of "ambassador" voyages.
In Lunenburg, shopping and dining can swallow an entire day, with the work of the locals, from folk art to handcrafted Swarovski crystal jewelry, providing a great excuse to buy a second suitcase just for souvenirs.
And while Fralic's Cove would remain elusive throughout the trip, it was fun to find six Fralicks in the Lunenburg phone book.
Next stop was Yarmouth, located on the southern tip of Nova Scotia and terminal for the fast ferry across the Atlantic to Bar Harbor, Me.
It was in Yarmouth where it hit home that Nova Scotia is a contrast in socio-economics, plainly prosperous in many towns along its 7,400-kilometre coastline, like the lovely Mahone Bay, with its New England prettiness and sophisticated cuisine, but less so in ports like Yarmouth, where the streets in early evening are deserted and where every other business seems closed, or for sale.
The large seaport, once the centre of a lucrative ship-building industry, is today reliant on its herring fleet and exports of Irish moss, lumber and Christmas trees, clearly struggling with its future and its place in the regional economy.
It's a dichotomous theme that permeates Nova Scotia: This is a province of both prosperity and hardship, beholden to an economic cycle tied to resources, like forestry and fishing, and the tourism and hospitality industries.
If there is a unifying factor in Canada's second smallest province, which is almost an island and shares only a 15-kilometre border with New Brunswick, it is found in its pride of place and pedigree, its 250 years of history.
Nova Scotians, we discovered, are a resilient, friendly people, giving of their time and their stories, from the polite hard-boiled fishermen we met on the docks to the erudite innkeepers who treated us like members of the family.
There is much to celebrate and commemorate, they will tell you, including Nova Scotia's role as a naval defender of the nation, its links to the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, and the heartbreaking tragedy of the 1917 Halifax explosion, which levelled the harbour and killed 2,000.
It's also a land of breathtaking beauty, not just its topography and perpetual views, but its century-old architecture.
Everywhere you look are whitewashed clapboard houses, built in the gothic revival, saltbox, colonial, Victorian and shingle vernaculars, their lawns and gardens lovingly tended on spacious unfenced properties.
It's so inviting and picturesque, in fact, that in every photogenic town along the rangy coastline one can't help but gravitate to the real estate office, wondering just how cold it could possibly be in winter and how the family back home might embrace a far-away recreational property that comes with a heritage home, acreage and waterfront, for less than $200,000 (in some cases, far less).
And then there's the food, from smoked mackerel and salted haddock, sold from roadside stands, to all manner of lobster fare, not the least of which is lobster ice cream, lobster mac and cheese and lobster strudel.
From Yarmouth, it's off to Bar Harbor, a three-hour sail port-to-port on The Cat, a modern fast ferry that screens movies, has a casino and a bar and costs slightly more than $300 return for two, minus the car.
Bar Harbor, located on Mt. Desert Island, beguiles visitors with its captivating New England beauty and its storybook setting on the edge of a national park.
A trolley trip to the top of the island's Cadillac Mountain takes you past Thunder Hole and one of Martha Stewart's homes, as well as the former grand "cottages" of wealthy industrialists like the Rockefellers.
Back in Nova Scotia, it's time to head north from Yarmouth along the Bay of Fundy, where the scenery changes once again, where the province's French roots shine and where the trees and churches seem taller and more plentiful.
After a stop for a heaping plate of fresh garlic grilled scallops in Digby, we head for Wolfville.
Our inn is on the outskirts of town, the first place we stayed that wasn't right on the water, and shares the same slope as the celebrated Grande Pre Vineyard, providing sweeping views of grapevines and the distant harbour.
We arrive in Wolfville on a mission, though, and it's not just to visit this genteel spot in the Annapolis Valley, known for its apple festival and Acadia University.
Our cabbie, on our arrival in Halifax on day one, had urged us to try the lobster "in the rough" in a quaint fishing village called Halls Harbour, just south of Wolfville. And so we did, tucking into the big salt-water boiled lobsters we had plucked from tanks in the Lobster Pound gift shop and delivered to the cook shack out back.
We sat in the sun on the dock, prying the delicate meat from the hot hard shells, warm butter dripping down the insides of our wrists.
With full stomachs and a yearning for home, we spent our last day exploring Halifax, which meant a tour of the Titanic exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, staring in wonder at one of only two salvaged deck chairs and, hauntingly, a tiny pair of leather shoes belonging to Body No. 4, the Unknown Child.
The week ended, as vacations often do, with a local treat (fresh P.E.I. fries from a street vendor) and a toast, from the rooftop deck of Alexander Keith's brewery, to a road now travelled.
It ended, too, with two westcoasters marvelling at how much Nova Scotia is so like the rest of Canada, and yet so different.

The unique charm of the Estates Theatre cannot be properly relayed by pictures or words. Once inside, one almost feels the spiritual presence of the supremely talented musicians, directors, artists
and playwrights who have passed through its doors.
The Estates Theatre will be forever linked with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the musical genius whose life and works had such an impact on the city of Prague.
Mozart stayed and worked in Prague on a couple of occasions, crafting operas which would later appear at the Estates Theatre.
Although the world premiere of the Marriage of Figaro was in Vienna in 1786, it was in Prague at the Estates Theatre that it triumphed. It was such a success with Bohemian audiences that Mozart was subsequently commissioned to work on Don Giovanni in the city.
In 1787, Mozart personally conducted the world premiere of Don Giovanni at the Estates Theatre.
Unsurprisingly, the Estates Theatre's foremost operatic production today is Don Giovanni, which plays daily from mid July to mid August, and occasionally at other times of the year.
From September to June, a series of operas by Mozart and other well-known composers are staged.
The Estates Theatre sometimes also puts on Mozartissimo, which is a compilation of Mozart's famous opera arias.
The Estates Theatre is located in between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, a mere two minutes walk from either.

In Game Dev Story, my company "Proxy Rax" has been leading the sales charts for 6 years straight with two number-one debuts a year. I still haven't won the coveted Game of the Year award nor have I built my own console. My development cycle is quite efficient with a sequel releasing at the beginning of the year, contract work while it is on sale, and finally a new IP for the end of the year.
In StarCraft II, I've made my switch from Protoss to Zerg along with a (wanted) demotion from Diamond to Platinum. The skill of most Diamond players has eclipsed beyond me--I still think they need a league above Diamond--but I'm having much more enjoyable matches now that I've bombed my invisible skill rating. Overall, I'm enjoying Zerg a lot more than Protoss, especially after the latest patch. I'll be writing a bit more about my transition in the comments.

Students in many school districts got their first taste of the new federal guidelines for school lunches when they returned to school this fall.
At the St. James School District the food service program has been making this adjustment over several years, so the new guidelines were not as big a shock.
Students in many school districts got their first taste of the new federal guidelines for school lunches when they returned to school this fall.
At the St. James School District the food service program has been making this adjustment over several years, so the new guidelines were not as big a shock.
In January, the United States Department of Agriculture released the
first revisions of the program in 15 years in large part as a response to the growing obesity epidemic.
"When we send our kids to school, we expect that they won't be eating
the kind of fatty, salty, sugary foods that we try to keep them from eating at home," said first lady Michelle Obama during a statement introducing the new standards along with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The new regulations increase servings of grain, fruits and vegetables, while dialing back on sodium, fat and carbs.
In addition, per meal calorie limits have been implemented, which is a first in the program's history.
At first glance students would have noticed little difference. Sure,
the removal of french fries registered, but in many respects the big-
ticket menu items read similar to that of preceding years––especially
if one assumes an entree like a 2012 burger is the same as a burger served in 2011, which it is not. Served on a bun of whole grain, devoid of "pink slime" and sized down in radius, the 2012 burger is
its own entree.
As a side dish, federal guidelines require each lunch include half a cup of fruits and vegetables per day for elementary school students, three quarters of a cup for students in grades six through eight, and a full cup for high-school students.
Whatever the combo, lunch-goers will be looking at a plate of 650 calories for younger students, and 850 for those in high school. The caps must be adhered to without exception or the school faces losing its meal federal reimbursement.
Second helpings of foods like burgers are not provided, but can be purchased by the students. Only fruits and vegetables are offered without limit.
Federal reimbursement rates rose this year by 6 cents per lunch to
help schools cover the expected $3.2 billion cost of implementing new lunch and breakfast standards over the next five years. New requirements for breakfast will begin to phase in next year.
The new tastes have required some getting used to and cafeteria
workers are inevitably still experimenting to find out which is most appealing for the student body. Overall, the sense is that both parties are having success zeroing in on the larger palate pleasers.
The same can't be said for the calorie limits. If there is one area of contention amongst students, parents and school staff, it has had to do with portions that must be consistently sized whether served to a six foot 200 pound athlete or a 120 pound student.
Several school student bodies across the country have boycotted school lunches in response to the calorie cap, while others have campaigned against it on YouTube, Facebook and other avenues.
Yet to this refrain of "We're hungry" the USDA has stood firm, essentially giving students the option of filling up on no-limit fruits and vegetables, bringing additional food from home or purchasing offerings on campus.

IUCN-The World Conservation Union, Gland, Switzerland, 14.05.03. A new publication on the status of the world's cetaceans - whales, dolphins and porpoises, offers a stark warning that the smaller, lesser-known species such as the baiji (or Yangtze River dolphin) may not survive the next decade.
Dolphins, Whales and Porpoises: 2002-2010 Conservation Action Plan for the World's Cetaceans, is an authoritative, benchmark publication providing the latest information on the status of cetaceans worldwide while recommending actions that could help save the most threatened species. As a guiding document for all those involved in cetacean conservation, it will be used by scientists in the field and academic institutions, as well as those making critical decisions about the future of these species and their habitats.
This new publication is the most recent of three Action Plans compiled by the Cetacean Specialist Group (CSG) of IUCN's Species Survival Commission during the past 15 years. The Group has over 75 members worldwide contributing significant experience and expertise to the growing pool of knowledge about cetaceans. This Action Plan provides scientific information about the current status of cetaceans worldwide; identifies threats to their survival and ways to further understand and assess these threats; and recommends specific conservation actions.
With ongoing revision and debate about how they should be classified, there are currently 86 recognised cetacean species. These animals live in a variety of habitats, from the high seas far beyond the national jurisdiction of any country, to the shallow freshwater rivers, lakes and coastal waters of southern Asia and South America. Some species are highly migratory, requiring vast areas of ocean to move between feeding and calving waters, whilst others reside in particular sections of rivers and coastal waters.
"Some of the great whales such as the blue, humpback, sperm and right whales often receive a lot of attention. They are magnificent animals, and certainly important to the CSG's mission. The Group focuses, however, on smaller species, often lesser-known and in developing countries, that are particularly threatened with extinction," says Dr Randall Reeves, Chair of the CSG.
Swimming against extinction
To date, humans have not caused the extinction of any cetacean species. This claim may not hold true for much longer though. According to former CSG Chair, William F. Perrin, "it seems unlikely that the baiji [or Yangtze dolphin, Lipotes vexillifer] will still be around when the next new Action Plan is formulated eight or ten years from now". The baiji, a freshwater dolphin with its distribution now limited to the main channel of the Yangtze River in China, is considered the most endangered cetacean. From surveys conducted in 1985 and 1986, the total baiji population was guessed to number around 300 animals. Between 1997 and 1999, extensive surveys sighted only 21-23 dolphins. The new Action Plan states that there may be no more than a few tens of Yangtze dolphins in existence.
Of the species/populations that have been assessed against the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species criteria, the baiji, vaquita (Gulf of California porpoise, Phocoena sinus), and several geographical populations of whales and dolphins are categorised as Critically Endangered. Northern Hemisphere right whales (Eubalaena glacialis and E. japonica), the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), Hector's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) and Ganges/Indus river dolphins (Platanista gangetica) are listed as Endangered. There are others yet to be formally assessed, some of which are known to be in serious danger of extinction.
Threats facing cetaceans
The first Cetacean Action Plan, published in 1988, expanded awareness of not only the great whales (the 14 recognised baleen species and the toothed sperm whale), but also the approximately 70 species of smaller and medium-sized species. In 1994, the second Action Plan emphasised the vulnerability of freshwater and coastal cetacean populations, highlighting their geographically restricted ranges and dependence on resources also used by humans.
Perrin sees a glimmer of conservation success, but notes that urgent action is warranted to deal with the extinction crisis facing particular species and populations. "Some progress has been made, but as the present plan testifies, grave threats to the continued existence of many cetaceans still exist, and some threats are worsening," says Perrin. "Cetacean diversity, like all biodiversity worldwide, is crumbling so we must redouble our efforts," he concludes.
Traditional threats to cetaceans such as the deliberate killing of some species for food and predator control continue. These are increasingly accompanied by additional threats: animals die from entanglement in fishing gear; collisions with powered vessels injure and kill cetaceans; some species are targeted to supply the demand from oceanaria for live animals; changing ecosystem dynamics resulting from either industrial or intensive artisanal fishing may be depleting food sources for some species; activities such as the construction of dams, irrigation infrastructure, and aquaculture facilities degrade habitat; in addition to longstanding concerns about acoustic disturbance, new types of military sonar apparently can cause lethal trauma to deep-diving cetaceans.
Cautious optimism for some populations
Whilst recognising that the status of many cetaceans is worsening and threats to their survival are in many cases increasing, cautious optimism is now being expressed about the effectiveness of past and ongoing conservation actions for some populations of great whales. Right and bowhead whales have been protected from commercial whaling under international law since 1935, gray whales since 1946, and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and blue whales since the mid-1960s. Add to this the continuing worldwide moratorium on commercial whaling which took effect in 1986, and it appears that a lot of work has been done by many individuals over the years to achieve effective conservation measures for cetaceans across the globe.
Despite the fact that many thousands of right, blue, and humpback whales were taken illegally in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific during the 1950s and 1960s (in some cases putting populations of these species in jeopardy), several populations of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis), humpbacks in many areas, gray whales in the eastern North Pacific, and blue whales in both the eastern North Pacific and central North Atlantic have begun to show signs of recovery.
Recommendations for action
"Over the past 15 years, it has become clear that, in certain cases, existing scientific evidence is sufficient to justify, or indeed require, immediate action. The CSG therefore decided to include a number of recommendations in this Action Plan that go beyond research; these address specific actions that need to be taken to promote the recovery of species or populations immediately threatened with extinction," says Dr Reeves. Amongst others in the publication, recommendations include actions to prevent injury to the baiji from snag-line and electric fishing; eliminate fishing methods that take vaquitas as bycatch throughout their range; and for the Hector's dolphin, endemic to New Zealand, increase the size of existing protected areas to include the harbours and bays in the North Island sanctuary, and also extend the offshore boundaries for both sanctuaries.

The upscale food-court atmosphere that prevails at so many farmers markets has prompted Jeffco health authorities to impose stricter regulations on food vendors selling items typically offered at restaurants.
Some small-business operators are complaining, and some are choosing to take their offerings elsewhere.
Vendors selling what are called potentially hazardous food items — such as burritos, tamales, pizza slices, hamburgers and salads — for immediate consumption must now submit a plan to health authorities first and obtain a $255 mobile unit license.

Native Sisterhood Presi-
dent Hits at Rights
Bill Opposition
Opposition that had appeared to
speak with a strong voice was
forced to a defensive whisper at
the close of yesterday's Senate
hearing on the "Equal Rights"
issue. Mrs. Roy Peratrovich, Grand
President of the Alaska Native
Sisterhood, the last speaker to
testify, climaxed the hearing by
wringing volleying applause from
the galleries and Senate floor alike,
with a biting condemnation of the
"super race" attitude.
Reciting instances of discrimina-
tion suffered by herself and friends,
she cried out against a condition
that forces the finest of her race
to associate with "white trash."
Answering the oft-voiced ques-
tion, "will this law eliminate dis-
crimination" Mrs. Peratrovich ad-
mitted that it would not; but, she
queried in rebuttal, "do your laws
against larceny and even murder
eliminate those crimes?" No law will
eliminate crimes but, at least, you
as legislators, can assert to the
world that you recognize the evil
of the present situation and speak
your intent to help us overcome
discrimination, she said.
Declaring their opposition to the
law, unless it is amended, Senators
Scott, Whaley, Collins and Shattuck
spoke their feelings on the issue
during the two hours of discussion;
while Senators Walker and Coch-
ran held forth in favor of the law.
Senator Joe Green was chairman
for the Committee of the Whole
Senator Allen Shattuck opened
the discussion by repeating a state-
ment he declared he had already
made to Roy Peratrovich, Grand
President of the Alaska Native Bro-
therhood. "This bill will aggravate,
rather than allay the little feel-
ing that now exists" he stated.
"Our native cultures have 10 cen-
turies of white civilization to en-
compass in a few decades. I be-
lieve that considerable progress has
been made; particularly in
the last 50 years" Senator Shat-
tuck declared.
ANB President Talks
Peratrovich was then asked to
the stand by Senator N.R. Walker
and following questions that es-
tablished his education, background,
and right to speak for the Indians,
Peratrovich was invited to express
his views on the question before
the Senate.
He pointed out that Gov. Ernest
Gruening, in his report to the Sec-
retary of the Interior, as well as
in his message to the Legislature,
had recognized the existence of dis-
crimination. He quoted the plank
adopted by the Democratic Party
as its Fairbanks convention, which
favored action on the natives' be-
half. Reading the names of the
members of the committee that
helped frame that plank, he
pointed out that among than were
members of the present Senate
"Only an Indian can know how
it feels to be discriminated against"
Peratrovich said. "Either you are
for discrimination or you are
against it" accordingly as you vote
on this bill, he added.
Has Amendment
Declaring that he had an amend-
ment to propose to the measure,
Senator Frank Whaley read a
lengthy prepared address to the
assembly; in which he labeled the
measure a "lawyer's dream" and a
"natural in creating hard feeling
between whites and natives."
He stated his flying experience in
many parts of Alaska as authority
behind his the opinion he had reached.
Declaring himself "personally as-
sailed" by Senator Whaley in his
remarks, Senator O.D. Cochran
raised his voice for the bill, offer-
ing instances of discrimination
which came, he declared, from a
list of similar occurrences in his
own knowledge that would occupy
the full afternoon to relate. As in
his speech on the matter before
the House, Senator Cochran made
use of a theater in Nome as a
prime example of an establishment
where discrimination is practiced.
Senator Walker supported Sen-
ator Cochran's views, declaring that
he knew no instance where a native
had died of a broken heart, but
added that he did know of situa-
tions where discrimination had
forced Indian women into living
lives "worse that death."
Scott Talks
Senator Tolbert Scott, in one of
his rare participations in debate,
spoke from the heart his feeling
that the bill, as it stood, would not
accomplish the purpose intended.
"Mixed-breeds" he declared, are
the source of the trouble. It is only they
who wish to associate with
the whites. "It would have been far
better had the Eskimos put up
signs 'No Whites Allowed'" he
said. He stated his belief that
the issue was being raised to
create political capital for some
legislators, and concluded that
"white women have done their
part" in keeping the races distinct;
if white men had done as well,
there would be no racial feeling in
Liquor Problem
Speaking from his long experi-
ence, among Eskimo peoples in
particular, Senator Grenold Collins
furnished a sincere and authorita-
tive voice in opposition to the bill.
He supported Senator Scott's con-
tention regarding mixed breeds by
citing the well-being of the Eski-
mos of St. Lawrence Island, where
white men have not worked their
evil. "Eskimos are not an inferior
race" he stated, "but they are an
individual race." The pure Eskimos
are proud of their origin and are
aware that harm comes to them
from mixing with whites. It is the
mixed breed who is not accepted
by either race who causes the
trouble. Declaring, "I believe in
racial pride" and do not think this
bill will do other than arouse
bitterness, Senator Collins lashed
out at the sale of liquor to natives,
as the root of trouble.
A motion to report progress, of-
fered by Senator Walker, was ap-
proved, following the testimony of
Mrs. Peratrovich, which terminated
the discussion.

Ledyard honors two 'legends'
Ledyard - If the honorees for Wednesday's dedication ceremony were alive, former Ledyard High School principal Lou Gabordi was saying, he doubts they could have been coerced to go anywhere near the gym.
Judy Standish and Bob Arsenault were described several times as "legends" as Judy Dowe Standish Gymnasium and Bob Arsenault Court were christened prior to Ledyard's 58-25 girls' basketball victory over St. Bernard.
"Bob wouldn't have wanted it alone and Judy wouldn't have wanted it alone," said Patty Arsenault, Bob's widow. "Together, it makes it perfect."
Arsenault was boys' basketball coach at Ledyard from 1967-73 and started the girls' program, coaching it from 1975-82. He also was well known as the boys' cross country coach from 1966-95, compiling a record of 235-157-3. He died in 2002 at the age of 65.
Standish, a physical education teacher at Ledyard, as was Arsenault, taught and coached there from the time the school opened in 1963 until she retired in 1997. She was a longtime assistant coach in girls' basketball - going 316-128 as the program's junior varsity coach - and girls' track. Standish died in March, 2012, at the age of 70, after a nine-year fight with cancer.
"As long as Ledyard High School stands, you hope that the students that come into this gymnasium that see Bob Arsenault's name, see Judy Standish's name and ask, 'Who are they?'" Gabordi said. "... They had genuine passion and expertise. Somewhere deep in the recesses of our minds, we understand the sacrifices that coaches and educators make."
A wooden plaque honoring Standish is placed over the door of the entrance to the gym, bearing a basketball net and a winged track shoe on either side of a Ledyard Colonel.
Arsenault's name is emblazoned on both sides of Ledyard's court.
"It's with great pride and great humility that I stand here tonight," said Patty Arsenault, who was humbled to have former Ledyard students travel from New Hampshire and upstate New York for the ceremony.
"... One year I kept track of when Bob left the house and came home. At the end I told him, 'You got paid 19 cents an hour this season.' He said, 'Trish, you just ruined the whole season.' But he loved every minute of it."
The Arsenaults' son Tim is the boys' basketball and golf coach at Old Saybrook High School. Granddaughter Amy Bishop, who was in attendance Wednesday, is the boys' varsity and girls' junior varsity volleyball coach at Maloney of Meriden. Maloney is scheduled to play at Ledyard this fall, Bishop said, on her grandfather's court.
Ledyard athletic director Jim Buonocore said in a press release announcing the dedication earlier this winter: "I believe it is very important to honor the past teachers and coaches who have played such a vital role in establishing the great tradition at Ledyard High School in education and athletics."
Principal Amanda Fagan, a 1994 Ledyard graduate who was a member of the track team under Standish, referred later to Buonocore's comments.
"I love what Jim was saying, to have our current kids get to know them. I think it's important to do things like this," Fagan said. "... It's a little sad. The sadness is that we have this incredible core of athletes right now who don't get to know them, not just as a coach but even in passing. I'm glad I get to see things put to right."
Ledyard coach Adam Baber, also a graduate of the school, watched the ceremony from the bench with his players, as did the St. Bernard players and coaches.
Bill Standish of Preston, Judy's husband, used to be the Ledyard boys' JV coach under Arsenault for 10 seasons.
"It was done first class," Standish said of the evening's celebration. "I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm as proud of Judy as I can be."

The stunning defeat last Tuesday of Eric Cantor, the U.S. House majority leader, brought an abrupt end to his "young guns" political machine that reached from Richmond, Virginia, Cantor's home turf, all the way to Illinois' 16th District.
You'll recall that in 2012, Cantor backed Adam Kinzinger for the 16th District seat held for 20 years by Don Manzullo of Ogle County. Kinzinger, then a freshman congressman, represented a different district that had been redrawn to favor Democrats. Kinzinger then moved into the new 16th District and challenged Manzullo, who never had been seriously threatened for re-election since he first won in 1992. Kinzinger won handily.
On Thursday, I asked Kinzinger for his reaction to Cantor's loss to a conservative economics professor, Dave Brat, who spent nearly no money against Cantor's millions.
"It was very surprising to us. None of us saw that coming," Kinzinger said. "I was close to him, and it is a loss for our party. I think he was a good leader, and interestingly, he was one of the most conservative members of Congress."
Cantor will step down from his majority leader's post on July 31. U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-California, is expected to replace him in that role.
"I think McCarthy is going to step up and fill that role effectively," Kinzinger said.
"I believe that the main reason Cantor lost is because his Capitol Hill leadership role and his attempt to build a national political machine caused him to lose touch with the people of his district, which he has represented since 2001."
Although Kinzinger declined to be more specific, he did say, "It's important to stay in touch with your district. That's why I come home almost every weekend. That's why I'm traveling around the district a lot. The basic job of a representative is to represent the people of the district, hear what's on their minds, see their challenges firsthand."
ON THURSDAY I PRESENTED the viewpoint of Ald. Venita Hervey, D-5, about why she was the lone "no" vote on the City Council measure to give the Rockford Rescue Mission a green light to expand its women's program. The mission in the 700 block of West State Street is across from the notorious "Hotel Winnebago," where you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Hervey said the mission attracts homeless and other troubled people to Rockford's west side. She said too many of these people are coming here or being sent here from Chicago. She cited no statistics, just anecdotes.
The column elicited several responses, two of which I will share. They've been edited for space:
Christina R. Larson, a supporter of Rescue Mission expansion, wrote: "I wonder where Ms. Hervey gets her information about homeless pouring in from Chicago? While I know that it may seem like it, this is just not true. I worked at Carpenters Place, a homeless day center, for two years. While there, we, and every other agency that helped the homeless in some way, participated in a survey of all the homeless in Rockford, called PIT. Volunteers would go to the tent cities and abandoned homes at night, as well as the homeless agencies, and ask the homeless questions about where they are from and why they are in Rockford. After it was all said and done, the numbers showed that a very low percent came from Chicago or other areas."
Bill Feffer wrote: "You are correct in saying that the Rescue Mission is a part of the solution. It is unfortunate that the City and Police administrations have attempted to use the mission as a scapegoat, blaming them for everything from funneling Chicago people into Rockford to being the cause of violent crime. A recent televised report showing a thick document being thumbed through alluded to the 'hundreds of police calls to 715 W. State St.' This is a gross exaggeration of the facts.
"Ms. Hervey says that nobody talks about what happens when people leave the mission. Let's talk about where these people would be if the mission did not exist. They house up to 120 or more homeless people in the shelters every night of the year. These are people who would otherwise be unsheltered, sleeping in abandoned buildings and/or committing crimes in an effort to survive.
"The homeless will be downtown regardless of social services. The homeless range all over Rockford. However we look at them, we should remember that at the very least, every single one of them is somebody's son or daughter."

The Boulder City Council holds its annual retreat from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the West Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Ave.
The council will discuss the agenda for the retreat at its study session at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Boulder Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway.
To read the current 2013 work plan, go to tinyurl.com/cgajv4n.
To submit an idea for the 2013 council priorities, email Acting City Clerk Lynette Beck at email@example.com by 5 p.m. Monday.
City Councilwoman K.C. Becker wants officials to look for ways to encourage police officers to live in the city as a way to ensure the police department shares Boulder's values.
"Boulder has a distinct and well-defined set of values that are as clearly drawn as the lines that mark our geographic boundaries," Becker wrote in an email to fellow City Council members. "It is important that these values be understood and shared by our police officers."
Becker wants the city's Housing and Human Services department to look for any incentives it could offer to police officers who choose to live in the city. She made the suggestion in advance of the City Council retreat scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The retreat is an opportunity for council members to lay out their priorities and shape the city staff's work plan for 2013.
Other council members have also raised questions about whether police officers share Boulder's values after the killing of a large bull elk by an on-duty officer. The officer did not report the shooting, as is standard practice, and another off-duty police officer took the elk home for meat.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is investigating whether the officers committed any crimes, and the Boulder Police Department is conducting its own internal investigation into whether the officers violated department policy.
The killing of the elk, a frequent visitor to the Mapleton Hill neighborhood who had been dubbed "Big Boy," sparked outrage in the community. There have been two public memorial services for the elk, and another is planned for Sunday.
"I wonder if the cops who were involved in the elk shooting just did not anticipate that backlash, and I think if you lived in Boulder you would have anticipated it," Becker said in an interview.
Police Chief Mark Beckner has been inundated with calls and emails demanding the officers involved be fired. Beckner has promised a full investigation and said that many police officers are just as angry as the public.
Information about how many police officers live within city limits was not available Friday afternoon, but Beckner said the number is very low.
One reason is the cost of housing in Boulder, he said. Patrol officers earn between $50,169 and $74,399, and they can afford nicer homes in nicer neighborhoods in other parts of the metro region.
But the other reason is personal, Beckner said.
"When you live in a mid-sized town, it's harder to not be known as an officer," he said. "A lot of people like to get away from the job and not worry about running into someone that you may have arrested last week."
Beckner said that doesn't mean officers don't share the community's values.
"That's why they work here," he said. "We have people who deliberately select to work for this department because they share our values."
Councilwoman Becker said she does not mean any disrespect to police officers when she says she believes more of them would share Boulder's values if they lived here. She said people develop a different perspective on a community when they live there than when they just work there.
Becker said she just wants the city staff to look into the interest level and feasibility of offering housing incentives to police officers. If only a few officers would take advantage of such a program, it might not make much of a difference.
She also wants the city to consider requiring the next police chief to live in Boulder.
The city manager, city attorney and planning director all are required to live in Boulder. Chief Beckner lives in Longmont.
Beckner said he had lived in Longmont for years for many of the same reasons that other officers choose not to live in Boulder. Before applying for the chief position, he asked if he would be required to move. If the answer had been yes, Beckner said, he wouldn't have applied.
"Frankly, I couldn't have sold my house and bought anything similar in Boulder," he said. "It would have been a step down."

Professor Marita Eisenmann-Klein
IPRAS President and Director of the Clinic for Plastic and Aesthetic Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at the Isar Medical Centre in Munich
Expert medical care at hospitals and rehabilitation clinics
The specialist field of plastic and aesthetic surgery is concerned with restoring form and function to areas of the body that have been damaged or destroyed by accidents or tumours. The harmonisation of physical features is another task of plastic surgeons. Members of the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (DGPRÄC) are highly regarded all over the world. This means that patients are guaranteed medical services of the highest standard all over Germany.
Plastic surgery enables limbs that have been completely severed – as well as individual fingers, noses, ears and genital organs – to be reattached to the body and reconnected to the blood and nerve supply.
In operations of microscopic precision, whole sections of tissue including muscles, bones, arteries, veins and nerves can be transplanted from one part of the body to another to correct physical defects.
Professor Eisenmann-Klein is the Director of the Clinic for Plastic and Aesthetic Hand and Reconstructive Surgery at the Isar Medical Centre in Munich. She is also President of the International Confederation for Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS).
The Isar Medical Centre is a private hospital in the centre of Munich which has highly qualified specialists in almost every field of medicine.
Aesthetic surgery
All medically certified aesthetic procedures are performed at the centre. A key specialism is surgery involving autologous fat transplantation, sometimes using stem cell concentrates from fatty tissue. Corrective breast surgery is a major focus and includes enlargements, corrections of asymmetries and abnormalities using fat from the patient's own body or high quality silicone implants, and breast uplift procedures. Facelifts and neck lifts are also performed routinely, often combined with soft tissue relining, eyelid lifts, nose corrections, liposuction and thigh and upper arm lifts. Autologous fat transplantation, in some cases using stem cell enrichment, is a key element of the Aesthetic Surgery department's treatment concept for the regeneration of the skin and soft tissue.
Reconstructive surgery
All procedures in this specialist field are undertaken, including breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery (also often using fat from the patient's own body), breast reductions, uplift surgery after extreme weight loss, correction of congenital abnormalities, removal of tumours from skin and soft tissue, revision of scars after burns or accidents using the most complex flap procedures and tissue grafting techniques, and covering of decubitus ulcers that manifest in paraplegic or elderly patients.
Hand and nerve surgery
The clinic specialises in the treatment of phantom pain suffered by amputees.
It also carries out the full range of procedures in the field of hand surgery.
Intercultural expertise
The team regularly provides humanitarian aid in crisis areas and Third World countries. Through the IPRAS WomenforWomen project initiated by Professor Eisenmann-Klein, the clinic's director and her second-incommand help to treat women who have been victims of fundamentalist intolerance or domestic violence (such as victims of 'in-law burns' in India, acid attacks in the Middle East and female circumcision in Africa).
The team at the clinic has acquired a high degree of intercultural expertise that stands it in good stead when treating international patients. This is thanks to its many visiting physicians and its cooperation with foreign doctors (e.g. from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Brazil, Mexico, Yemen, Syria, India, Colombia and Armenia), who come to the department either to complete their specialist training or to gain additional experience as a specialist. In particular, all team members are trained to support patients and other employees in the practice of their religion.
A caring approach
It takes more than just modern medical procedures for treatment to be successful. Care, empathy and sensitivity to the patient's psychological welfare are, of course, just as much part of any approach to treatment, especially as patients being treated by plastic surgeons have often had to cope with exceptionally difficult circumstances.

As lawmakers in Washington this weekend scramble to cobble together a last-minute compromise that will allow the country to avert a dive off the so-called fiscal cliff, many shoppers on Boulder's Twenty Ninth Street mall Saturday expressed little concern about the looming crisis.
"I think it's a media-manipulated game of fiscal chicken," 44-year-old Boulder resident Bob Schmidt said as he walked along the outdoor mall Saturday. "After eight-to-10 years of free spending, you've got to pay the piper somewhere.
"I'd rather suck it up over the next four years and get out of the hole than take a tax break and hope it goes away, which it won't."
The fiscal cliff refers to a set of deep cuts to national spending and large tax hikes on virtually all Americans that will automatically take effect unless the country's Democratic and Republican leaders can strike a deal before the new year to prevent them from kicking in. Many financial experts believe that if no deal is reached America could plunge into a recession.
The most immediate impacts of the cliff likely to be felt by the average taxpayer, as outlined in a study released earlier this year by Washington-based Tax Policy Institute, would come from a large number of tax cuts enacted in since 2001 expiring on Tuesday. For instance, a 2-percentage point payroll tax cut would lapse, raising taxes on more than 120 million working households, according to the study.
Daily Camera financial columnist Dave Gardner in a piece published on Dec. 2 noted that for taxpayers making more than $113,000 per year, that 2-percent tax increase could mean a more than $2,200 decrease in take-home pay next year.
Many Twenty Ninth Street shoppers on Saturday said they saw no reason to get overly excited about the tax hikes, but admitted the prospect of paying more taxes next year had spurred them to be more careful with their money.
"I'm just not spending frivolously. I'm investing wisely and I'm not panicking," 56-year-old Longmont resident Doreen Trees said, as she and her daughter, Kathryn, checked out some stores on the mall Saturday.
Trees said she has been following the fiscal cliff negotiations through the national media and alternative media such as the independent news program Democracy Now!, and feels its impacts have been exaggerated in many cases. Echoing sentiments expressed by Schmidt, Trees said she is not opposed to paying higher taxes if her money is being used responsibly by the federal government.
Niwot resident Greg Zwart, 52, said he has been following the negotiations. He said he has been disappointed in President Barack Obama, who he feels contradicted himself by saying he would reach across the aisle to work on a deal, despite already digging in his heels when it comes to raising taxes on upper income people.
Zwart, a contractor, said he, like Trees, has tried to eliminate frivolous spending because he knows for sure that he'll be paying higher taxes no mater what plays out with the negotiations.
"I'm just not buying anything exotic. Just getting back to basics," he said. "No lobsters for Christmas dinner. Not this year."
Quinn Trapp, 19, of Boulder, said he has not closely monitored the fiscal cliff negotiations but he has made efforts to limit his spending in light of the uncertainty surrounding the economy, efforts supported by the fact he hand-made all the Christmas gifts he gave out this year.
Trapp said he has focused on cutting back his everyday expenses. But the fiscal cliff won't stop him from investing the estimated $10,000 it will cost him to travel across Europe next year.
"I don't have all the money yet, but I'm not leaving for a while," he said.

Durfee had no issues with putting the bat on the ball Monday afternoon, but preventing runs was a problem early on for the Hilltoppers, who lost to non-league foe Coyle-Cassidy, 12-8, at B.M.C. Durfee High School.
Durfee had no issues with putting the bat on the ball Monday afternoon, but preventing runs was a problem early on for the Hilltoppers, who lost to non-league foe Coyle-Cassidy, 12-8, at B.M.C. Durfee High School.
The Warriors bats were a force during the first two frames of the contest, sending 17 hitters to the plate and produced eight runs on seven hits. Leading the attack was Jack Dermody (2-for-4), who tripled twice and knocked in four. Robby Robinson drove in a pair, while Devon Perry and Dylan Ashburn each recorded an RBI.
"Coyle is a good hitting team," said Durfee head coach Brad Bustin. "We left a couple fastballs over the plate, they fought off some tough pitches, and in general made things happen."
The Hilltoppers (7-8) had some trouble finding consistency on the mound as Jaren Viera and James Mello retired four batters combined. Shortstop J.P. Bonanca came in with an out in the second and did his best to stop the Warriors' onslaught over the next three frames.
After scoring an unearned run in the fourth, C-C tacked on three more in the fifth thanks to an error in the outfield and a missed force play at second. John Monahan (three runs scored) hit an RBI single and came around to score the Warriors' 12th run on a passed ball.
Despite some large deficits, the Hilltoppers made it a ballgame with some timely hits. Durfee got three in the first when Alex Benevides blasted a two-run triple to right that plated Mike Correia and Bonanca and later crossed home on a wild pitch, making it 4-3 in favor of C-C at the time.
Kevin Colon lofted a sacrifice fly in the third and when the Hilltoppers found themselves behind 12-4, the offense made things interesting. Nick Dumont plated Justin Martinho with an RBI base hit. Colon reached on an error by the Warriors third baseman and Dumont scored thanks to an error that enabled Kyle LePage to reach first safely.
Colin Medeiros (3-for-4) then punched a two-run triple to right that brought home both runners and trimmed Durfee's deficit to four (12-8).
"We hit the ball well today," Bustin said of his team. "But today we learned that if you give a team more outs, it can get bad quickly."
Nick Dumont relieved Bonanca, and threw zeroes for 2 2/3 innings, allowing just two baserunners.C-C pitcher Gavin Weyman was far from sharp, allowing 11 hits and 8 runs (six earned) but the junior right-hander still managed to earn the win for the Warriors, throwing all seven innings and striking out three.

It's been nearly a decade since players have seen Garrett, star of Eidos' Thief series. With Square Enix and Eidos Montreal working on a new game for next-generation consoles and PC, it was time to rethink how Garrett would be presented to a new audience.
"We wanted to keep the main DNA of who Garrett was; we didn't want to change that much because it was working already," game director Nicolas Cantin said. But, "we wanted to bring in more of the modern audience of the console market."
Cantin's past work includes the original Assassin's Creed, and he's drawing on that experience for the new Thief. Garrett can do much more in the new Thieft, and he "wanted the costume and design to reflect" the game's added action.
In addition, Cantin told Game Informer that "we toned down all the things that felt gothic, like black nails and things like that." Why? Because "we wanted to make him a little bit more mainstream." Considering the new Thief is being pitched as a reboot, Eidos Montreal is free to reimagine the character however they see fit--even if that means toning down his magical abilities.
"Fans remember the original games very fondly and we want to preserve that essence which we have excellent experience of doing at Eidos Montreal, whilst also introducing Thief to a brand new, next-generation, audience," Eidos Montreal general manager Stephane D'Astous said at the game's official announce.

Answerman - Why Are Some Fan Works OK, But Some Get Shut Down?
When it comes to fan works - cosplay, fanart, fan films and games - copyright seems to be only enforced arbitrarily. Why is that - and which fan works are less likely to get the hook?

STOCKTON - Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones and members of other law enforcement agencies held a joint news conference Thursday at the Stewart Eberhardt Building to detail Operation Family Feud, a five-month investigation that led to dozens of arrests.
STOCKTON - Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones and members of other law enforcement agencies held a joint news conference Thursday at the Stewart Eberhardt Building to detail Operation Family Feud, a five-month investigation that led to dozens of arrests.
Authorities displayed guns, drugs, body armor and gang paraphernalia seized in a series of raids across San Joaquin County. The raids resulted in 39 arrests, including 29 documented gang members. Police confiscated a machine gun, an assault rifle and several shotguns as well as drugs such as marijuana, heroin and crystal methamphetamine.
"These were some of the worst of the worst offenders at the very top of the crime pyramid in Stockton," Jones said. "We're very pleased to take these very violent, very dangerous offenders out of commission."
Jones was flanked by San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore, San Joaquin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ron Freitas, California Highway Patrol Cmdr. Rob Patrick, FBI Agent Todd Irinaga and ATF Agent Jeffrey Vind. Moore said the area is safer than it was five months ago as a result of the arrests.
"Every operation like this makes the community safer, and we continue to work toward that," Moore said. "This is an operation that will definitely have an impact."
Raids targeting Norte�o gang members were carried out by representatives of the Stockton, Manteca and Lodi police departments as well as the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, the CHP, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the state Department of Justice and the state Parole and Corrections Team.
Freitas, the deputy district attorney overseeing the homicide and gang division, said the suspects will be arraigned this afternoon, adding he is "very confident" in the charges being filed against them.
"District Attorney Jim Willett would like to state his appreciation to the Stockton Police Department - both the leadership and the officers - for the investment they made into public safety in taking these very violent predators out of our community," Freitas said. "With the conspiracy charges and gang enhancements, it appears these individuals are all facing strikes that range from several years in state prison to many years past that."

Live Blogging Mods and Trucks From Bristol (SPEED - 6PM ET)
It's one of the most interesting days of the year on SPEED. Viewers get to see the NASCAR Modifieds in a combined North and South Series show before the Camping World Trucks take to the high banks of the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Mike Joy and Dick Berggren call the Modified action that includes Ryan Newman and an all-star cast of Mod regulars at 6PM ET. This race is so very different that it is a hit every season. Joy and Berggren both make the entire race exciting from start to finish.
The Camping World Trucks are next with Rick Allen, Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip on the race call. Ray Dunlap and Adam Alexander are on pit road. Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and Elliott Sadler are crossing over to race in the series and there is quite a variety of drivers in the field.
The new pavement at Bristol allows the trucks to have two racing grooves and that is very important for this series. The leaders are going to begin lapping quickly and the difference between the experienced and non-experienced drivers is going to show-up quickly.
Update: News from SPEED is that Kyle Busch is going to be moved to the rear of the field after having to change engines. That is going to put a whole new storyline into play for the TV network as Busch, who was on the pole, moves through the field.
This post will serve to host your comments on the Mod and truck races Wednesday night on SPEED. To add your TV-related opinion, just click on the comments button below. This is a family-friendly website, please keep that in mind when posting. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

This race is being time shifted by SPEED a bit to make sure the trucks start on time.
That's why live info from Twitter and Facebook is ahead of the TV.

Nice replay. Mikey sure is talking a lot more than he did last weekend.
- August 18, 2010 at 8:21 PM
- OSBORNK said...
I think the small crowd is due to the recent weather we have had around here. It was unbearably hot and humid earlier and we had significate flooding yesterday (flooded out a tent camping area and more). Today, the weather has been dreary, overcast but still humid all day with occasional sprinkles. With the probability of rain and humidity, I don't think the locals want to risk attending the race. Also, tomorrow is the first day of schools in several areas near the track.

They must be paying Mikey by the word again. Too much and too fast.

thanks for the update, Osbornk--I was wondering about those camping areas. There is weather all around them tonight but they were sorta in the middle. Shame to see all those empty seats for the mods, too, but people can't always get off early. We used to see people trickle in for Richmond and you could see they didn't even have time to change clothes.

Seems to have settled down a bit. He gets really hyped on these one day show.
Kyle Busch in the top ten. Something to prove.

Hey all, taking your comments tonight on the SPEED coverage of the CWTS from Bristol Motor Speedway.
All we ask is that you stay on topic, do not use profanity and refrain from derogatory comments.

I think it looks like there are a lot of fans at the track. Good broadcast so far except I wish Mikey would take a breath once in a while to give us some relief!

Yes this is good stuff, a wreck fest so far so cant give a good comment on the broadcast but Im do like what I see! Bristol is awsome

Mikey has jabbered so much he has lapped the field. I'm done with it.
- August 18, 2010 at 8:55 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
What bums me out when Waltrip is like this is that he talks right overtop of Phil Parsons.
Parsons was working this series and on this telecast team long before Waltrip was added.
I think MW should realize that when he behaves like this it turns fans off.
Just like his big brother, all of a sudden he knows everything.
I hope Parsons sets him straight o the air before this is over.

Oh man what I would give to have Neil Bonnett to still be with us.............
- August 18, 2010 at 9:08 PM

Mikey just makes me tired when he does his jabber, jabber routine!
Sorry to the other two in the booth, but I may have to watch the remainder of this one on mute!
- August 18, 2010 at 9:10 PM
- OSBORNK said...
They force us to listen to a Waltrip and wonder why the ratings suck? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:10 PM
- Sally said...
It's sad. When Mikey slows down and doesn't try to set a world record jabbering, he can actually be very informative and interesting. this is NOT one of those times.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:13 PM

I'm East Coast & taping, but Mike is again driving me nuts tonite! And Vile Kyle is being a butthead as usual, imo. Gonna check out the end in the morn.

Remember the last truck race? He was great!
- August 18, 2010 at 9:14 PM

I do remember, JD. That's what makes nights like this so frustrating! DW is the same way. get him in a 1 on 1 interview, and he's great! Guess we just shouldn't take the Waltrip boys out in public?

Norm Benning = Milka Duno

He was a contender in ARCA. That was a long time ago.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:21 PM
- OSBORNK said...
They call a caution because a truck gets loose? That's worse than the "debris" cautions.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:23 PM
- Charlie said...
Not sure if there was a reason to have a caution there. The two truck ended up both going straight again.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:35 PM
- OSBORNK said...
If they call cautions in the Cup race like they are calling them tonight, we'll be up all night.

Timothy Peters might have a little something for Elliott Sadler before the night is over.

Bummer for Schrader.

Might not be the last caution. Like to hear from Elliott Sadler or Timothy Peters.

Not the ending we wanted, but the action is back at Bristol for sure.
No TV tomorrow, just NASCAR Now at 5PM and Race Hub at 7PM.
Big day on Friday. Complete TV schedule is on the main page.
Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Did not watch the trucks,when a Waltrip is involved the channel gets changed.
The Mod squad on the other hand. great race. Nothing like seeing Mike and Dick get to talk about their beloved modifieds.
Great TV, As I have stated before:
Nothing wrong with NASCAR that 43 Modifieds every week would not cure.

I couldn't deal with Mikey's
dialed up Batman dialogue so I tuned in only after the Braves baseball game ended at about 20 laps. I will wait for the Race Hub recap this evening.

Too bad our fav ended his race 3 laps early but glad everyone was ok. Starr looked a little uncomfortable guess his back was really bothering him but he still had that signature smile on his face (and I'm so happy that Speed interviewed several of the drivers that were involved in that wreck). Great broadcast (except for Mikey hogging the mic) and it looked like a good crowd at Bristol for a Wednesday evening. Looking forward to a super racing weekend.

quote:Originally posted by Guest4178I know there's an inside joke with Shane O'Brien on this site. I believe it goes back to when he played for the Canucks 4 or 5 seasons ago? And if I'm not mistaken, there was a write-in campaign to get him in the all-star game back then?Shane O'Brien is no Shea Weber, but he's carved out a very nice hockey career for himself.Drafted 250th overall in 2003, O'Brien has played in more NHL games than all but one player drafted in rounds 3-9. Only Lee Stempniak has played in more NHL games from this draft class range, and Joe Pavelski (who was drafted #205 overall) has played about the same number of games as O'Brien.Other notable players who were drafted in rounds 3-9 in 2003 (but with less NHL games played than O'Brien) include Tobias Enstrom, Dustin Byfuglien and Matt Moulson to name a few.And counting this season's pay, O'Brien has earned $10 million by playing 521 games in the NHL. Not too shabby!

It's been discovered that Jay Bouwmeester played for both the "A" squad and the "B" squad and Kevin Shattenkirk was ineligible as an American citizen who also played for Team USA! Credit these two for being in incredible enough shape to play on 2 teams each however both were fortunate that their 2 teams didn't meet one another and leave these guys with a tough decision! Lol, all kidding aside as I know these were oversight's on your part, I do think you've made some damn good forward lines! Only changes I'd make would be a swap of Neal and Eberle and I'd consider Brent Burns to play with his SJ mates instead of Iggy, with Iggy dropping to the spot currently occupied by J. Staal who would move to the "extra" spot that RNH would vacate when moved to the "C" squad.

Frequently asked questions
Daily Horoscope > Legend
What does "weak, transient influence" mean?
The influence is only slight and temporary. It usually lasts a few hours or a day at the most.
- What
is the meaning of the "ingress" and "lunar phase"
information in the mundane section of the Daily
The Daily Horoscope page also lists some astronomical events like the Sun's ingress into a new sign or the lunar phases. These events are not personal, and have no personal meaning for you. This is why they are listed under the tab "mundane".
- What
do the asterisks ( *, ** or *** ) mean?
Particularly important transits are indicated by one, two or three asterisks next to the title of the transit selected for the day. One asterisk (*) means that the transit is more important than most, two (**) indicate an important transit, three (***) show that the transit is a major astrological event.
- What
do the letters in brackets behind the information on eclipses
t - "total" eclipse of the Moon / Sun
p - "partial" eclipse of the Moon / Sun
u - "penumbra" (Lunar) eclipse, i.e. the Moon enters the half-shadow cone of the Earth but not the core shadow. The "u" was chosen because of the Latin word "umbra" which means "shadow". It is hard to notice such an eclipse.
a - "annular" (Solar) eclipse (ring-formed): the Moon is too far away for its disk to completely cover the Solar disk. At the peak time of the eclipse, a ring of the Sun's disk is still visible.
Most astrologers who work with eclipses do not take their visible quality into account, neither do they consider whether someone is in the path of visibility of a Solar eclipse or far away. All they are concerned with is whether an eclipse has taken place or not.
- What does
at natal angle" mean?
It means that on that particular day, the angle between transiting Sun and transiting Moon is exactly the same as the angle formed by your natal Sun and natal Moon. For example, if your natal Sun and Moon form a 92° waxing square, the symbol for "Moon at natal angle" will turn up in the Daily Horoscope on the day the transiting Sun and Moon form a 92° waxing square.
This information is used in CosmoBiology, a theory that claims that this is the most fertile phase in a woman's monthly cycle. Some women use this theory for birth control. (see also FAQ -> Free Horoscopes -> Charts -> Special charts)

University of California, Berkeley May Ban Salvation Army Over Anti-Gay Policies
Officials from the University of California, Berkeley are considering banning the Salvation Army from soliciting donations on campus after the college's student government accused the Christian organization of having anti-gay policies, SF Weekly reports.
The student body passed a resolution on Nov. 14 that requests that the Salvation Army's bell ringers be banned from the university's campus because of the organization's negative views on homosexuality. The measure states that the charity only helps people who "accept and abide by the Salvation Army's doctrine and discipline,' which excludes homosexuality."
The resolution also asks for officials to revoke the Salvation Army's permits, which would prohibit the charity from collection donations on the school's campus in any way -- this means the organization would not be allowed to leave donation containers on campus.
Matthew Enger, an out student at Berkley, has helped create the measure and has criticized the Boy Scouts of America, which also has polices that bar gay men from joining the organization.
According to the Campus Reform blog, Berkley officials are reviewing the resolution and will soon decide whether the charity can send volunteers to the school for the holiday season.
"Allowing the Salvation Army to collect donations on campus is a form of financial assistance that empowers the organization to spend the money it raises here in order to discriminate and advocate discrimination against queer people," the resolution reads.
Officials from the Salvation Army, however, sent a statement to the blog, denied allegations that the charity has anti-gay policies and stated that the accusations are "internet rumors."
"The notion that we require those we help to 'accept and abide by the Salvation Army's doctrine and discipline which excludes homosexuality' to receive assistance is totally false," Kathy Lovin, a spokeswoman for the Salvation Army, wrote. "The only requirement for service from The Salvation Army is demonstrated need and our ability to meet it."
The Salvation Army has made headlines in the past for its treatment towards the LGBT community. Last year, Bil Browning claims that the organization refused to provide him and his then boyfriend shelter because they are gay.
"The Salvation Army refused to help us," Browning told the New York Times, "unless we broke up and then left the 'sinful homosexual lifestyle' behind. We slept on the street, and they didn't help when we declined to break up at their insistence." Browning said that his boyfriend was wearing an AIDS pin and the worker must have recognized it, which sparked him to say that the couple needed to "be saved."
More recently, civil activist and the current president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, Bill Donohue, made a statement and said that the Salvation Army is "under increasing attack from homosexual activists this Christmas season" for "holding Christian beliefs on marriage and the family." He added that the organization "does not discriminate against anyone" and that a gay website, WaterMarkeOnline.com is also ask its readers to note donate to the group, according to the Catholic League.
"Not only does the Salvation Army not discriminate in hiring, and in whom they serve, it does not lobby for any cause," Donohue said in a statement. "Indeed, its only agenda is serving the dispossessed. Yet to those driven by a lust for power in the homosexual community, it makes sense to sacrifice the poor for the purpose of advancing their agenda."
The Week has chronicled the organization's anti-gay behaviors, including its threat to leave New York City if Mayor Michael Bloomberg enforced an ordinance that required "all groups with city contracts to offer benefits to the same-sex partners of employees. Bloomberg, who opposed the ordinance, doesn't enforce it."
Additionally, Maj. Andrew Craibe, the Australian spokesman for the Salvation Army made international headlines earlier this year after he went on a radio show and told the hosts that gay men and woman "deserve to die." Soon after the incident, however, the organization's officials issued a statement and apologized for Crabie's remarks.
