It took one game to tune up before Max Sauve added some drama to his return from injury for the Providence Bruins over the weekend.
Sauve's heroics couldn't have come at a better time because he made sure the P-Bruins salvaged something from an otherwise dismal trio of games.
Sauve, out since Oct. 16 with a broken wrist, returned to the lineup Friday night and was minus-1 with no points in a 5-1 loss to Portland. But Saturday night, he capped Providence's wild rally from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Sauve scored the game-winner with just three seconds left — his first goal since a hat trick in the season's second game.
The P-Bruins scored three times in the final 9:53 to leave Springfield with two points. However, the Falcons exacted their revenge Sunday with a 4-1 win at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Sauve was point-less in that game but posted a plus-1 rating.
Providence is still in last place in the Atlantic Division with just 25 points. Going forward, there's no doubt Sauve's speed and hands will benefit a P-Bruins squad that ranks 26th in goals for per game at 2.50 goals per outing.
Who's hot
Jordan Caron's first stint in Providence this season started out well for him, as he recorded an assist in each of his first two games. He was minus-2 in his first game but finished the weekend just minus-1. … Defenseman Jeff Penner broke a six-game point-less streak Saturday and recorded his first multi-point game since Nov. 19 in that game. Despite a minus-2 on the weekend, Penner is still plus-5 for the season. … Goaltender Nolan Schaefer snapped a personal four-game losing streak with 26 saves Saturday. He then lost Sunday.
Who's not
Juaraj Simek was point-less and a minus-2 in his first three games with the P-Bruins after coming over in a trade from Norfolk. He is now point-less in his last seven games. … Defenseman Sean Zimmerman made his P-Bruins debut Saturday after coming over from Rochester. He was minus-2 over two games and is still looking for his first point of the season. … Zach Hamill is still point-less in six December games. He even spent some time shifted out to wing from center.
Injury update
After Sauve returned Friday, Jeremy Reich returned from his foot injury Sunday. … Colby Cohen remained out with an upper-body injury. … Trent Whitfield might start practicing this weekend. He has missed the entire season so far after tearing his Achilles in August.
Upcoming games
Friday, Dec. 17 vs. Charlotte
Saturday, Dec. 18 at Hershey
Sunday, Dec. 19 vs. Springfield

Ice Release (氷遁, Hyōton; Viz "Haku's Secret Arts of Water", English TV "Ice Style"; ; ) is the advanced nature kekkei genkai of the Yuki clan, and allows the users to combine wind and water-based chakra to create ice which they can manipulate through willpower alone. The ice Haku created was resistant to fire-based attacks, only melting slightly when coming into contact with Sasuke's flames. Using his special ability, Haku developed the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, which allowed him to create any number of floating mirrors made of ice to use as a shield or trap an opponent.
Haku mentioned that having nearby water is an advantage, as he can simply freeze that water to create ice.
Without the Kekkei Genkai
In the first Naruto movie, several of the Yukigakure ninja also had the ability to use Ice Release techniques. However, this was not the product of a similar kekkei genkai, as demonstrated by Kakashi's ability to replicate one of these techniques with his Sharingan. In addition, unlike Haku, who could create his own ice, the Ice Release techniques used in the movie required the users to manipulate already existing ice and seems to melt at a much easier level than the ones Haku used. Another notable difference is that they can also manipulate snow. The Yukigakure ninja most commonly used the Dog hand seal to do this. Dotō Kazahana, in particular, manipulated a special type of snow that is black in colour.
In the Land of Vegetables Arc, the main villain Renga also used a technique using ice. He could crystallise the water vapour around him into ice so transparent that it would be practically invisible to the naked eye. However, this technique was never mentioned to be an Ice Release technique.
In the sixth Naruto OVA, The Cross Roads, Kajika's technique is actually classified as a Water Release, but produces ice.

The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening—seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom.
Goldstein's source teaching is the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of:
- Ardency, clear knowing, mindfulness, and concentration—how to develop these four qualities of mind essential for walking the path wisely
- The Satipatthana refrain—how deeply contemplating the four foundations of mindfulness opens us to bare knowing and continuity of mindfulness
- Mindfulness of the body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics
- Mindfulness of feelings—how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds
- Mindfulness of mind—learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought
- Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and much more
"There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.

- Review for Mindfulness Review by Dharma Spring
It's a cliché that once a popular cultural trend or movement ends up on the cover of "Time" magazine it's over, officially passé. Mindfulness made its appearance in February. As if that wasn't enough, everyone from Arianna Huffington to Congressman Tim Ryan has been boldly touting the benefits of mindfulness practice. Scientific studies keep pouring out demonstrating that mindfulness is good for just about anything that might ail us. And in just the last few years, there have been hundreds of books published on mindfulness—applying the practice to everything from child rearing to quilting to business leadership.
In the midst of this comes a new book by Joseph Goldstein with the nearly banal title "Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening" (Sounds True, Nov. 2013). Yet this book is anything but commonplace. It's a profoundly realized exploration of a traditional source text of Buddhist mindfulness meditation—a landmark work that has the potential to provide the present-day mindfulness movement with the ground and roots it will need to survive its popularity and thrive.
You can be forgiven if you don't know much about Joseph Goldstein. Though he does occasionally travel and teach, Joseph Goldstein has by and large occupied himself as a guiding teacher at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts—which he co-founded in 1976 with Sharon Salzberg and Jack Kornfield. He also worked to help establish the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and the Forest Refuge retreat center, both located nearby. IMS has become one of the most prominent meditation retreat centers in the West, with well over 2,500 people attending intensive meditation retreats every year.
Joseph Goldstein's new book is an outgrowth of a series of 46 lectures he gave to at the Forest Refuge center that explored the "Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta," the Buddha's discourse on the four ways of establishing mindfulness that is found in the classical texts. "The Buddha," Goldstein writes, "introduces this discourse with an amazingly bold and unambiguous statement: 'This is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of pain and grief, for the attainment of the true way, for the realization of nibbāna [nirvana]—namely the four foundations of mindfulness.' And as we look at this sutta [sutra], we find that all of the Buddha's teachings are contained within it. With each of these four ways of establishing mindfulness, the Buddha teaches different methods and techniques that liberate the mind. . . . When we open any one door of the Dharma, it leads to all the rest." In this same way, Joseph Goldstein's "Mindfulness" is not a commentary on Satipatthana Sutta, rather it explores the text as a means of revealing all of the teachings. With each passage a new door is opened to the Dharma.
"Mindfulness" is also interspersed with a wonderful array of quotes from teachers of various Buddhist traditions—a trove culled from Joseph's readings over the decades. Though over 450 pages, this substantial work is remarkably readable and inspiring—a book to study as well as to flip through and explore.
While I'm sure the current craze over mindfulness will fade in time and many of the books on the topic will lose popularity, it's impossible for me to imagine how this particular book won't become an instant classic, treasured for years to come.

- Review for Mindfulness Review by Ed Bastian, Ph.D.
This is essential reading for any serious student and practitioner of Mindfulness Meditation. It elucidates the root teachings of the Buddha required for authentic longterm practice. Therefore, it is an antidote to the misinterpretations of Mindfulness Meditation prevalent in modern models of mental, physical and spiritual healing. For these reasons, I am using it in my undergraduate university classes and my own meditative practice.

I have listened to the 40++ hours of Joseph Goldstein's 3-volume set of "Abiding in Mindfulness" CD's several times. I listen to them over and over. I am so happy to now have a book version, one in which I can underline, make margin notes, look back at something I have forgotten - whatever. This is the most complete mindfulness training that I have come across. I do not live where I can get to a vipassanna teacher, and this is the next best thing.

I am always surprised at the number of people in my classes who are stymied by Griffith's Valuation. Many take a look at it, then give up. With the absence of census and other records from the mid 1800's, Griffith's Valuation (GV) is the most useful tool a researcher has for locating family in the period of 1848-1864. Even if one's ancestors left Ireland before 1848, GV can help locate family members who stayed.
GV is not a census. Rather, it is a land survey that was taken for tax purposes. It is important to Irish genealogists because the GV records the names of each landholder and leaseholder, along with the landlords. It also describes the property.
Before the GV was put on the internet, it was indeed a difficult resource to research. One had to know the county and usually the townland in order to find the target person. However, now that the GV is available online, and for free at that, researching by surname is possible. The best GV site is the one offered by Ask About Ireland (the digitalization is owned by the National Library and Eneclann). Click on the
Link to Griffith's Valuation search engine
Not only can you search by surname and geographic/political divisions, you can see and print out the original page of the GV, plus, in most instances, you can also print out a map of the landholding in question.
If you don't know the county or parish of your ancestors, you can search the surname distribution throughout Ireland and then narrow your search by the first name. Familial naming patterns might be of help to narrow down your results. If a couple were married in Ireland, you could try to cross reference the results of the two surnames--don't forget that in Ireland in the mid 1800's, people tended to marry others who lived in geographical proximity. This avenue of research can be slow and tedious, but it can produce results, particularly if the surnames are limited geographically. I must admit that for many of us searching for ancestors with widespread and common surnames, such as my Kelly's and Kavanagh's, searching the GV can indeed be overwhelming and nearly impossible without a knowledge of a county or townland.
If you are eager to learn more about the GV. the best article about the GV was written by James R. Reilly for the journal The Irish at Home and Abroad. Reilly instructs us how to glean every drop of information possible from the GV. The article can be found at the Leitrim-Roscommon site:
Reilly's Griffith's Valuation Article
One more important point to keep in mind when researching the GV: the GV was taken at different times in different counties. It began in 1848, and was not finished until 1864. If your ancestors emigrated during those years, your research of the GV might be affected. I use James Ryan's excellent resource book, Irish Records: Sources for Family and Local History, to determine the year that the GV was taken in each county before I dig into my research.
Here is a list of the counties and the corresponding GV years:
Antrim 1861-2; Armagh 1864; Carlow 1852-3; Cavan 1856-7; Clare 1855; Cork 1851-3; Derry 1858-9; Donegal 1857; Down 1863-4; Dublin 1848-54 (Dublin City 1854); Fermanagh 1862; Galway 1853-6; Kerry 1852; Kildare 1851; Kilkenny 1849-50; Laois 1850-1; Leitrim 1856; Limerick 1851-2; Longford 1854; Louth 1854; Mayo 1856-7; Meath 1854; Monaghan 1858-60; Offaly 1854; Roscommon 1857-8; Sligo 1858; Tipperary 1851; Tyrone 1860; Waterford 1848-51; Westmeath 1854; Wexford 1853; Wicklow 1852-3.

Unger leaves Dayton football for Linfield
The Dayton Pirates' ship needs a new captain.
Dayton football coach Brodie Unger resigned his post on March 10 and will join the Linfield football team as an assistant coach, the News-Register has learned.
Unger, a former linebacker for the Wildcats (1999-2003), coached the Pirates to a 23-1 record over two seasons, winning the OSAA Class 3A state championship in 2012. Dayton made the Class 3A state semifinals in 2013 before falling to Nyssa, 19-15, on Nov. 23 in Bend.
It is unclear what duties Unger will have on the Linfield coaching staff. Unger and Wildcats head coach Joseph Smith were unavailable for comment.

Rumors of Motorola's secret "X Phone" project go back to last year, but we only started hearing about details of the first possible device last month. One of our sources said that the X Phone would offer physical customizations that included an endless choice of color combinations, and the ability to select the material of the outer casing. Now Phone Arena reports that an unnamed source told them the choice of colors "may be over 20."
Phone Arena claims their source said the material of the outer casing might not be an option in the first generation X Phone, but it could be offered in another device later this year. We have previously reported that the "X Phone" brand would spawn an entire family of devices, so this could be the cause of conflicting reports about specific details and specs.
Our original source said the first X Phone was expected to go on sale in June, which was later changed to late July, and now Phone Arena says the first device might not debut till "August or later."
Jim Wicks, Motorola's design chief, told PCMag that the first Google-influenced devices would not appear till the second half of 2013, so we shouldn't expect anything till after July. Most tech bloggers believe Google might unveil some new Motorola products at Google IO in May, but any delay of the product launch might bump the first "X Phone" device from that event.
Google's Eric Schmidt says the new set of products from Motorola will be "phenomenal," but what else is he going to say?
Finally, on the topic of conflicting info, one of our early reports said that the first X Phone would be sold unlocked and available for a number of different carriers. More recent info now suggest the device will have an exclusive launch period on a single carrier, but please keep in mind this is all rumors and speculation until it's officially announced.
If you could order a smartphone in any color, which color would you pick?

Welcome to the MOTHER EARTH NEWS mini-manual of winter craft projects. This article contains something for knitters and crocheters of every level of skill, from an easy scarf to a multi-cabled sweater. It explains the basics of both arts to aid the novice and to help jar the memory of the rusty.
Of course, there may, be a few people who initially won't be enthusiastic about such enterprises. "Why knit?" a noncraftsperson may grumble as he or she watches—fascinated nonetheless—while brilliant-hued Fair Isle sweaters, intricate fisherman's jerseys, or complicated cable pullovers emerge from an experienced knitter's speedily clicking needles. Well, aside from the satisfaction of creating a beautiful garment, knitting offers you the chance to do it better for less: We figured out from a yarn-sample card that an Icelandic sweater (retailing for $125) could be knitted for about $25 in yarn!
To be sure, that's using your own labor, but what kind of price can you attach to what might otherwise be wasted time, anyway? You see, one of the marvelous benefits of knitting is that it can be practiced anywhere and anytime a person has a few spare minutes. Who hasn't envied a needle clicker during a long, boring town meeting, political speech, or other obligatory function? That person's twiddling up something useful while many other folks are twiddling only their thumbs!
Crocheting (the needle-arts cousin of knitting) has delighted advocates, too. Some folks prefer crocheting, because it is faster than knitting . . . and, since it involves using only one needle, it is a bit easier to learn. (Many wise craftspersons learn both arts and then are able to employ whichever one is appropriate for the project they're undertaking.)
So draw a good light close by your favorite easy chair, throw another log on the fire, lean back, and dig into this mini-manual on how to knit and crochet. For the price of a few hours of your time and a few dollars for the basic supplies, you can have a rewarding pastime to enrich the rest of your life.
Below you'll find directions for both knitting and crocheting, which should get a novice started. However, we strongly recommend supplementary reading, plus-if possible-attendance at a class or two. Many yarn shops offer instruction. Or try your local Y, other community groups, or even a skilled relative or neighbor for lessons. With a little coaching, you can have that first warm, cozy scarf or hat done before you know it.
Hold the needle with the required number of cast-on stitches in your left hand and the other needle in your right hand. Insert the right needle into the front of the first stitch on the left needle from the left side (in other words, poke the needle up into the stitch), keeping the ball yarn to the back of your work. Now, with the right hand, bring the yarn over the point of the right needle. Draw the yarn through the stitch, and slip the old stitch off the left needle (Fig. 6).
Repeat the sequence as needed. You'll notice as you knit that a new row is being formed on the right needle. Always keep pushing your work up so that the stitch on which you are working is near the tip of the left needle. When an entire row has been knitted, switch the finished work to the left hand and begin the procedure again.
The purl stitch has two differences from the knit stitch.
When you wish to increase the number of stitches in a row, knit first into the front of the stitch to make one stitch but do not slip the old stitch off the left needle. Next, knit into the back of the same stitch to make another stitch (Fig. 8). Now, slip the old stitch off the left needle. You'll find that two stitches will be transferred to the right needle instead of just one.
If you need to increase while purling, purl first in front of the stitch to make one stitch, but do not slip the old stitch off the left needle. Now, purl into the back of the same stitch to make another stitch (Fig. 9). Slip the old stitch off the left needle ... and you'll see that two stitches have been transferred to the right needle instead of one.
On a knitting row, you can decrease by knitting two stitches together (Fig. 10).
On a purling row, you can decrease by purling two stitches together (Fig. 11).
If you're knitting, bring the yarn to the front of the work, then over the right-hand needle to the back of the work. With the yarn in this position, insert the right-hand needle in the next stitch on the left-hand needle (Fig. 12) and complete a knit stitch. One extra loop is now on the right-hand needle.
For purling, bring the yarn to the front of the work, then over the right-hand needle to the back of the work. Again bring the yarn to the front of the work. Now, with the yarn in this position. insert the right-hand needle in the next stitch on the left-hand needle and complete a purl stitch. One extra loop is now on the right-hand needle (Fig. 13).
Begin by knitting two stitches loosely. With the left needle, pass the first stitch over the second one and the tip of the right needle, which leaves one stitch on the right needle. Knit the next stitch and repeat the process. Continue until all of the stitches except one have been bound off. Break the yarn and draw the end through the remaining stitch.
K: knit
P: purl
inc: increase
dec: decrease
st(s): stitch(es)
tog: together (at the same time)
beg: beginning
sl: slip stitch to the right needle without knitting
psso: pass slipped stitch over following stitch
yo: yarn over
An asterisk (*) means repeat the instructions following the asterisk as many times as indicated. Sometimes instead of an asterisk you'll see a phrase such as (K2 tog, K2) 5 times. This means that whatever is specified in the parentheses should be repeated the number of times indicated after the closed parentheses.
If you are a beginner, start practicing with a rib-stitch scarf. If you already know the basics, learn how to knit a rainbow ripple afghan. For more experienced knitters, try a hand-to-hand sweater or hats!
The half double crochet is made by wrapping the yarn over the hook and then inserting it into the third chain from the hook. At that point, there will be three loops on the hook. Wrap the thread over and draw it through all three loops at once (Fig. 8).
There are several other terms and techniques you'll need to become acquainted with that will crop up in crochet directions. One is the slip stitch, in which you insert a hook in a stitch, wrap the yarn over, and then draw the yarn through both the stitch and the loop on the hook with the same motion. The slip stitch differs from single crochet in that you don't wrap the yarn over again before you pull it through the loop on the hook. It's often used to join the ends of a short chain together so you can start on shaped items such as hats, bedroom slippers, or doilies.
Unlike larger articles-afghans, for example-which are usually crocheted in back-and-forth rows, shaped articles are made in rounds. The last stitch in a round is joined to the first stitch by means of a slip stitch before the crocheter begins the next round.
If you need to increase one stitch, work two stitches in the same stitch of a previous row or work a stitch in the turning chain at the beginning or end of a row . . . the pattern directions will specify which method to use.
To decrease a stitch, work two stitches together by working the first stitch all the way to the final yarn over, but don't yarn over. Instead, begin working the next stitch until its final yarn over. At that point, perform the yarn over and draw the yarn through all of the loops on your hook.
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
tr: treble crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)
rnd: round
inc: increase
dec: decrease
beg: beginning
An asterisk (*) means repeat the instructions following the asterisk as many times as indicated. Sometimes instead of an asterisk you will see a phrase such as (ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc in next ch) 4 times. This means that the directions included in the parentheses should be repeated as many times as specified.

Split peas are halved peas, which is obvious. They are also dried peas, which is probably, when you think about it, just as obvious. I mean, have you ever tried to cut a fresh pea in half? Split peas and ham hocks are meant to go together, so much so that a minimum of supporting ingredients are called for to flesh them out into a satisfying soup.
Most people think of split pea soup as a thick-as-can-be affair, and this is how I like it, but it doesn't need to be. In fact, a thinner version is delicious and more surprising. If you like, add a bit more liquid to thin the soup, and see what you think. (If unsure, you can add some to a cupful of soup at the end and, if you approve, stir more into the pot.)–Tom Valenti
Ham Hock and Split Pea Soup
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
- For the split pea soup
- 2 cups green split peas, picked through, small stones discarded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into small dice
- 1 medium Spanish onion, peeled and cut into small dice
- 1 celery stalk, cut into small dice
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Sugar
- 1 large garlic clove, smashed and peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 marjoram sprigs or thyme
- 2 quarts homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth, or vegetable broth, water, or a combination
- 2 pounds smoked ham hocks
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves or Garlic Croutons, optional
- For the garlic croutons
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 loaf peasant or country bread (about 1 pound)
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Make the split pea soup
- 1. Put the split peas in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside.
- 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the carrot, onion, and celery; season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar; and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
- 3. Drain the split peas and add them to the pot. Add the bay leaf, marjoram, broth, and ham hocks. Give a good stir and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, continuing to stir to keep the peas from scorching. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- 4. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the ham hocks from the pot. Set them aside on a plate. Cook the soup for 30 minutes longer, or until the peas and other vegetables have completely broken down and the soup has thickened considerably. If it becomes too thick, add more stock or water.
- 5. While the split pea soup is simmering, and as soon as the ham hocks have cooled enough to work with, use your hands to remove the meat from the bones, shredding it as you work. There won't be a lot of it, but what is there is very flavorful. Set the meat aside.
- 6. When the pea soup is done, use tongs or a spoon to remove and discard the bay leaf and marjoram sprigs. Taste and correct seasoning, bearing in mind that the bits of ham are salty. Add the reserved ham to the pot. If not serving immediately, let cool, cover, and refrigerate for a few days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat before proceeding.
- 7. To serve, ladle the split pea soup into individual bowls and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Scatter some thyme leaves over each serving, if desired, or float a garlic crouton on top of each bowl.
- Make the croutons
- 8. Melt the butter in a wide, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute to soften it and infuse the butter with its flavor.
- 9. Add the bread to the pan and cook, tossing frequently, until the bread is crisp and golden brown 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Use at once, or let cool and keep at room temperature for up to 6 hours.

During the Democratic national convention, John Edwards asked America to judge John Kerry by the statements of those who served with him in Vietnam. The only problem was that the MSM was doing its best to hide most of these statements from the American public. Once that problem was overcome, the Democrats lost interest in the views Kerry's "brothers" and, in fact, chose to slander many of these brave men.
President Bush asks to be judged by his record as president. However, the views of his military brothers are available here at at WingmenForBush. The Wingmen have issued a press release expressing their outrage at John Kerry's claim, on the Today show, that George Bush did not put his life on the line for his country. Consider, for example, the statement of Silver Star recipient Col. Tom Lockhart (Ret.). Col. Lockhart spent 24 months serving in the Vietnam War as a fighter pilot. In 1969, he trained then-Lt. Bush to fly jet aircraft at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Georgia. He says:
John Kerry, your statement on national
television, which implied that George W. Bush did not put his life on
the line indicated that you simply don't know what it means to fly
fighter aircraft. This has historically been the most dangerous
assignment that any military officer could choose, and that danger
exists in training for combat as well as in combat. Mr. Kerry, your
comments disparage the National Guard and are a disgrace, especially
in light of the current commitment of Guard troops to Iraqi Freedom. I flew with George W. Bush, and I can attest to his skill as a fighter pilot. All fighter pilots put our lives on the line every time we strap on a jet fighter. Bush stepped up and volunteered for this very risky service to his country in a time of crises.
The Wingmen also note that they are not alone in their support for Bush and their disapproval of Kerry. They cite an Army Times poll showing that at least 75% of the military is voting for Bush. The Wingmen have also posted a letter from the famed Easy Company "Band of Brothers" WW II paratroopers that condemns Kerry's use of the title "Band of Brothers" in his 1971 Senate testimony which accused his "brothers" of commiting war crimes.
It is truly astounding to think that the U.S. may be on the verge of electing as its president a man who aided the enemy during a time of war. And it is shameful that this same man denigrates the contribution of millions of men and women who loyally served this country during the Vietnam era.
Hat tip: Laura Armstrong.

Actress Jordana Brewster was hospitalized while filming a Fast & Furious movie after a stunt went wrong and left her with a gashed hand.
The Dallas star appeared in the first installment of the action series and three follow-ups, but she needed medical attention when a scene ended in disaster.
She tells Ocean Drive magazine, "I had a stunt double who was really good, but I did do some of my own (stunts). (Director) Justin (Lin) is kind of hard-core. He's from the independent film world and wants the real shot.
"There's one scene where I'm running with a baby, and it's not a doll! I was so afraid I'd shake the baby too much. And shooting in Puerto Rico, I tore my hand open and had to go to the ER. First we Super Glued it, but I realized that was just not a good idea."

Every part of your body needs oxygen. Your lungs take in oxygen when you breathe. It is the heart's job to pump blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen, and then to pump this blood to every part of your body.
The heart has two independent pumping systems, one on the right side and one on the left side. Each of these systems has 2 chambers:
The atria are located on the top of the ventricles.
The ventricles are the major pumps of the heart. The left ventricle is generally the strongest pumping part of the heart.
The heart's atria and ventricles are connected by the heart valves. The valves are flaps that open and close to allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle.
The correct direction for blood flow is from the atrium into the ventricle.
To further understand the role that each side of the heart plays in pumping blood, let's now look at each side individually.
The right side of the heart receives blood from the veins of the body. This is "non-oxygenated" or "used" blood. The blood is referred to as used because it already has done its work, delivering oxygen to the far sites of the body before returning to the heart.
The blood is returned to the right side into the first chamber in the top portion: the right atrium. This chamber is able to expand to hold the blood volume that will fill its cavity. When there is enough blood, the tricuspid (try-CUSS-pid) heart valve allows the blood to flow into the right ventricle (the bottom part of the right side of the heart).
The main function of the right ventricle is to pump the blood to the lungs. The blood needs to return to the lungs to pick up oxygen. We sometimes say that the blood becomes "oxygenated" or "fresh" again. When the pumping action triggers the pulmonary valve, it opens. This allows the blood to flow into the lungs.
In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and leaves carbon dioxide behind (which you breathe out). The blood, now rich in oxygen, is sent to the left side of the heart.
The first chamber to receive the blood is the left atrium. As with the right side, as the atrium fills, the valve connecting the atrium and ventricle opens. This allows the blood to pass into the left ventricle.
The valve in this case is the mitral (MY-trul) valve. The left ventricle is the strongest pump of the heart. Once blood is collected in the left ventricle, it contracts and the aortic valve opens. This allows blood to pass into the ascending aorta (ay-OR-ta), the major artery that supplies blood to the entire body. After the oxygen-rich blood is used by the body, it returns to the right side of the heart, and the whole process begins again.

As a die-hard Mariners fan since 1994 and dedicated Yankees hater, this week's trade of Ichiro Suzuki to the Yankees (the YANKEES) just about killed me. Ichiro has been a much loved member of the
Bad News Bears Seattle Mariners for 12 seasons. As if his departure wasn't painful enough, he actually played his first game as a Yankee at Safeco Field against the Mariners. It was so bad that when a hiring manager stopped by my desk shortly after I heard the news, he…

Provides additional options for creating a transaction scope.
Describes the current status of a distributed transaction.
You can only create applications using this namespace under the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 platforms. Creating a transaction under the Windows 98 and Windows ME platforms throws a PlatformNotSupportedException .
The System.Transactions infrastructure makes transactional programming simple and efficient throughout the platform by supporting transactions initiated in SQL Server, ADO.NET, MSMQ, and the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC). It provides both an explicit programming model based on the Transaction class, as well as an implicit programming model using the TransactionScope class, in which transactions are automatically managed by the infrastructure. It is highly recommended that you use the easier implicit model for development. To get started, please see the Implementing An Implicit Transaction Using Transaction Scope topic. For more information on writing a transactional application, see .
System.Transactions also provides types for you to implement a resource manager. The transaction manager native to the System.Transactions infrastructure allows volatile resources or a single durable resource enlistment to commit or roll back efficiently. For more information on implementing a resource manager, see Implementing A Resource Manager.
The transaction manager also transparently escalates local transactions to distributed transactions by coordinating through a disk-based transaction manager like the DTC, when an additional durable resource manager enlists itself with a transaction. There are two key ways that the System.Transactions infrastructure provides enhanced performance.
Dynamic Escalation, which means that the System.Transactions infrastructure only engages the MSDTC when it is actually required for a transaction. This area is covered in depth in the Transaction Management Escalation topic.
Promotable Enlistments, which allows a resource, such as a database, to take ownership of the transaction if it is the only entity participating in the transaction. Later, if needed, the System.Transactions infrastructure can still escalate the management of the transaction to MSDTC. This further reduces the chance of using the MSDTC. This area is covered in depth in the Optimization Using Single Phase Commit and Promotable Single Phase Notification topic.
System.Transactions defines three levels of trust that restrict access on the types of resources it exposes. Specifically, the System.Transactions assembly can be called by partially trusted code as it has been marked with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute (APTCA). This attribute essentially removes the implicit LinkDemand for the FullTrust permission set that is otherwise automatically placed on each publicly accessible method in each type. However, some types and members still require stronger permissions.
The following is a list of types and members that are not callable by partially trusted code because they are decorated with the following declarative security attribute:
PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name := "FullTrust")
System.Transactions.TransactionScope.TransactionScope (System.Transactions.Transaction,System.TimeSpan,System.Transactions.EnterpriseServicesInteropOption)
For more information on the various trust levels, see Security Trust Levels in Accessing Resources.

Quantason Names Dr. Ellen B. Mendelson, Medical Director
Feb 26, 2013, 08:00 EST
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantason, the innovator in screening technologies for the early detection of high-risk breast lesions, has named Dr. Mendelson, as Medical Director.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121022/LA97501LOGO)
Dr. Mendelson is Lee F. Rogers Professor of Radiology and Medical Education at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Section Chief and Fellowship Program Director in Breast and Women's Imaging at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. She is an expert in mammography, breast ultrasound and MRI with current interest in automated volumetric ultrasound scanners. Dr. Mendelson is active in the American College of Radiology (ACR), a member of the Breast Commission where she chairs the Economics Committee and the committee that prepared the first edition of BI-RADS® (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) for Ultrasound. She and her committee are currently readying the 2nd edition for publication.
"There is a lot in common between Quantason's quest to develop a dual-mode active ultrasound technology for the detection and location of high-risk lesions and Dr. Mendelson's interests in breast diagnosis, image-guided interventional procedures, and adjunctive screening with ultrasound," said Dr. Edmond Rambod, President and CEO of Quantason and added, "Ellen's unique expertise as the co-investigator in the multicenter ACRIN 6666 study comparing ultrasound with mammography in high risk women with dense breast tissue and in the comparative lesion detection study performed by handheld transducers versus automated scanners, is invaluable as we share the same views and goals of proactively screening for the early detection of high-risk markers by IDUS™".
"Ellen is widely published and an invited speaker on all aspects of breast imaging. She has co-authored the textbook, The Practice of Breast Ultrasound, is a co-organizer of the annual, The Chicago International Breast Course, and serves as the faculty of the International Breast Ultrasound School", said Dr. Rambod and summarized, "Ellen brings outstanding medical, scientific and practical experience along with a passion for the earliest, safest and least costly detection of breast high-risk lesions and cancer". Dr. Mendelson said, "I am pleased and proud to be associated with Quantason in developing a reliable, radiation-free, low-risk, low-cost and accessible automated system to early detect microcalcifications associated with high-risk and carcinoma in situ breast lesions". She concluded that, "in this era of great controversies in breast cancer detection, we are working to enhance our knowledge and experience by adopting new technologies such as IDUSTM which both utilizes the traditional ultrasound systems and significantly improves their performance in providing a robust method for imaging, diagnosis and screening for early detection and follow-up monitoring".
About Quantason
Quantason has developed IDUS™, a revolutionary, next-generation bi-modal platform which fundamentally changes the utilization of conventional ultrasound as a modality for diagnostic imaging and active screening. Quantason's patented and patent-pending technology expands the capabilities of conventional ultrasound systems by combining anatomical 2D imaging with proprietary, real-time stimulation sequences to detect, 3D locate, and classify micron-size target(s) - previously conceived outside of ultrasound capabilities - based on their response signature(s).

New FDA plan to monitor drug safety
US health officials Thursday announced the launch of a new system to better monitor the side effects of marketed pharmaceuticals.
Dubbed the Sentinel System, the new initiative will allow the FDA to almost immediately study how marketed drugs affect patient health.
"With the Sentinel System we will no longer have to wait years to see how a drug or medical device is affecting millions of people," said FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach in a statement. "The era of 'wait and see' is going to become the era of 'tell me right now'…The Sentinel System will give us an unprecedented ability to detect problems as they first begin to surface."
The Sentinel System will work by giving the agency access to Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit data, linked to Medicare inpatient and outpatient claims data. Access to the data will allow for the creation of a highly robust database to track patients and any negative drug side effects.
During two news conferences this week, health officials stated that the FDA and other researchers would not have access to any of the personal information of Medicare beneficiaries through the Sentinel System.
Ken Johnson, SVP of PhRMA, told the New York Times his group supports the FDA initiative "because it allows regulators and health care professionals to move from reliance on voluntary reporting of side effects to proactive monitoring of medicines."
An FDA white paper, titled The Sentinel Initiative -- A National Strategy for Monitoring Medical Product Safety, further describes the proposed system. The report is available at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/advance/reports/report0508.html.

UA Aero Design team engineers record-breaking 1st place finish in international competition04/14/2014
The University of Akron's Zips Aero design team earned the top prize at the 2014 SAE Aero Design East competition in Marietta, Georgia April 11-13, where they competed against 74 student teams from all over the world. The team finished 1st overall and set a new record for accuracy in the Advanced Class competition and 2nd overall in the Regular Class competition.
The object of the Advanced Class competition is to drop three-pound sandbags onto targets on the ground from 100 feet in the air. UA's Advanced Class plane, "B-50 Roo," features an on-board camera and sensors, which transmit data including airspeed and altitude to the ground station. In order to release the sandbag at the right moment, a co-pilot watches the camera and data and instructs the pilot when to drop the bag.
"We set a new record for closest drop on target," says aerospace systems engineering student and team co-captain Ian Maatz. "Not bad for our first time competing in this class."
In the Regular Class competition, the team was scored on their aircraft's reliability, weight and payload, as well as a technical report and presentation to Lockheed Martin employees. The goal is to design and build a plane that can carry as much payload as possible, and also to be able to predict well what that payload will be.
The team has much experience designing and building aircraft for the Regular Class competition. The objective this year was to take advantage of the solid model they've developed over the years and work to make it as light, strong and simple as possible, according to Maatz.
Zips Aero is led by faculty adviser Dr. Jerry Drumond, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering.
About the SAE Aero Design competition
The SAE Aero Design competition is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate engineering students with a real-life engineering challenge. The competition has been designed to provide exposure to the kinds of situations that engineers face in their real-life work environment. First and foremost a design competition, students will find themselves performing trade studies and making compromises to arrive at a design solution that will optimally meet the mission requirements while still conforming to the configuration limitations.

text: LightSquared Can Seek Creditor Vote on Reorganization Plans October 9, 2013 07:56 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email LightSquared Inc., Philip Falcone's bankrupt wireless-spectrum company, will get court permission to have creditors vote on four competing plans to restructure the company. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Chapman in Manhattan today said she would approve all four disclosure statements, which describe the reorganization plans, once final versions are submitted. The plans come from the company, an ad-hoc group of lenders, Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, and U.S. Bank NA and Mast Capital Management LLC. Creditors will vote by Dec. 5, according to court papers. "All parties have consensually agreed to resolve their formal and informal objections to each others' disclosure statements," Matthew S. Barr, a lawyer for LightSquared, told Chapman today. LightSquared's plan proposes a sale of almost all of its assets at auction while the company seeks approval from the Federal Communications Commission to use its airwaves. The lender group, which holds $1.4 billion of the $1.7 billion in debt of LightSquared's LP unit, has a similar plan calling for a sale. A unit of Charlie Ergen's Dish Network Corp. would make a lead, or stalking-horse, bid of $2.2 billion. Harbinger Plan Harbinger's plan would reorganize LightSquared without a sale. U.S. Bank and Mast, a Boston-based investment adviser, focused on the sale of a LightSquared unit, One Dot Six. A unit of Mast, which was LightSquared's bankruptcy lender, would begin the auction by bidding an amount equal to the company's debt under the loan, according to court papers. LightSquared had at first objected to the three rival plans, saying they would waste resources of the bankruptcy estate. Its own plan "subsumes the isolated plans" proposed by the other parties, LightSquared said in court papers. One creditor, Centaurus Capital, had objected to all plans save Harbinger's, saying they didn't disclose some potential problems: LightSquared will need more money before the end of the year, and selling the company before it gets FCC approval would make the entire reorganization unworkable under bankruptcy law, Centaurus said in court papers. LightSquared, based in Reston, Virginia, filed for bankruptcy in May 2012, listing assets of $4.48 billion and debt of $2.29 billion. U.S. regulators blocked the service after makers and users of global positioning system devices, including the U.S. military and commercial airlines, said LightSquared's signals would confound navigation gear. Suit Halted Separately, LightSquared can halt a lawsuit that Harbinger brought against the GPS industry, Chapman said. The company said the case overlaps with issues raised in the bankruptcy. LightSquared asked the court to keep the lawsuit from going forward for 60 days as it might "distract key LightSquared officers and employees from the restructuring efforts at a critical stage." The case was filed in August in U.S. District Court against Deere & Co., Garmin International Inc., Trimble Navigation Ltd., the U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS. Falcone, a billionaire hedge-fund manager, in August agreed to be banned from the securities industry for at least five years under a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over whether he improperly borrowed money from Harbinger to pay his personal taxes and favored some investors over others. The bankruptcy case is In re LightSquared Inc., 12- bk-12080, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). Back to news
