LAS VEGAS (AP) — Comedy king Jerry Lewis plans to film a television special for PBS.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reports (http://bit.ly/Qor4SC ) that the 86-year-old entertainer is returning to the spotlight Nov. 18 at The Orleans Hotel & Casino.
PBS plans to broadcast "An Evening With Jerry Lewis — Live from Las Vegas!" in March around Lewis' birthday.
Lewis has been busy preparing a Broadway musical version of "The Nutty Professor" based on the 1963 movie that Lewis directed and starred in.
That production has been thrown into uncertainty with the recent death of composer Marvin Hamlisch, who did the score.

Congo war's legacy follows survivor to NH
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
Coco Ramazani's life is the subject of the book "Tell This to My Mother." The Manchester woman, who escaped from a military camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is HIV-positive and wants to get her story out before she dies. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
— When Coco Ramazani finally escaped the horrors of life in the war-torn Congo and arrived safely to live her sister in Manchester in 2000, she hoped to find some peace of mind at last. But years of rape and abuse had taken their toll.
Soon after her arrival, she was diagnosed as HIV-positive.
It was an unbearable irony, to have escaped death in the cross-fire of a war that has raged for decades, only to be confronted with a fatal disease when happiness seemed within reach.
Around the same time, she met Joseph Mwantuali, a Congo-born American college professor visiting mutual friends in the city. A professor of African literature at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., and a published author, he was immediately interested in telling her story, but she was far from being able to talk about it.
She reached a turning point in 2006, while hospitalized with complications from HIV and post-traumatic stress syndrome. "I decided I am not going to die without telling my story," she said. "I have to tell the world what happened. It's the only way I have to fight back."
The result is "Tell This To My Mother — a novel based on the true story of Coco Ramazani, a war rape victim," authored by Mwantuali, and published in March by Stragetic Books Publishing.
More than a decade of healing in America helped her regain her strength. The same courage and indomitable spirit that enabled her to endure life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo now enable her to take on a new challenge — raising American awareness of the tragedy in her homeland, where Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi have been fighting an on-again, off-again proxy war with Congolese rebels for control of resource-rich eastern regions since the 1990s.
"Americans, the way they accepted me, the way they saved me, they can save other Congolese women and children if they put pressure on their President," she said.
Despite estimates of war dead that exceed 5 million, and more than 500,000 women raped, Americans have little awareness of the scope of what has been called the Great African War, with 15 years of intermittent conflict.
"This is the most terrible tragedy since Hitler, yet the superpowers are staying silent," said Mwantulai in a recent interview with New Hampshire Public Radio.
Ramazani believes sanctions on Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda could stop them from destroying another generation of Congolese women and children.
A culture of rape
The title of the book is not directed at Ramazani's mother. She never knew her mother or her father. One of 21 siblings born to a man with five wives, and orphaned as a child, she was raised by a sister whom she thought was her mother until she reached adulthood.
"I have no picture to associate with my mother or father, no voice," she said. "I can't remember anything about them."
She's not even sure how old she is. A slender, short, attractive woman who looks to be in her mid- to late-30s, she estimates her age at 42, which is what her passport says. "I was born in a small village," she said. "They didn't give birth certificates."
Her life is a story of how rape permeates a male-dominated culture in which she was abused by male authority figures at every turn — in school, in church, on the job and finally by soldiers who were supposed to be helping her during her escape on a flight from Kampala, Uganda, in 2000.
It's also the story of child soldiers enlisted into an endless conflict marked by genocide — one of whom died in her arms in a battle that raged just before her escape.
She had come to know the boy, whom she estimated to be in his early teens, during the months she was serving as an aide to the spokesman for Ugandan-backed Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, a commander of a rebel group during the Second Congo War.
They were caught in the cross-fire of Rwanadan- and Ugandan-backed rebels and soldiers in the Congolese city of Kisangani in 1999, when the boy was brought to her with fatal wounds.
"We didn't even have a chance to get him to the hospital," she said. "He was screaming, dying, calling for his mother. That's what really triggered me because I was asking myself the same questions: Why am I in Kisangani? Why am I going to die here?"
As part of the Wamba dia Wamba entourage, Ramazani was eventually evacuated to Kampala, after three days of rape and starvation in a military encampment of Ugandan soldiers.
Hope for intervention
Thanks to the intervention of her sister in Manchester, and connections she had made while serving the Ugandan-backed rebel leader, she was able to board a flight from Kampala in April 2000, first to Newark, N.J., and then to Manchester, where her sister, now deceased, arrived in 1990 on a student visa.
Ramazani's life for the past 12 years has been one of recovery, from wounds physical and psychological. She obtained a work permit and worked at Filenes for five years, then went to work for a car rental company at the Manchester airport. In and out of the hospital over the years, she has dealt with depression and survived suicide attempts.
"I have an incredible team of doctors who became my family and my community," she said. Her blood tests have been improving, and show no signs of the AIDS virus.
Fluent in five languages, including English, French and Swahili, she graduated recently with a master's degree in business administration from Southern New Hampshire University and is serving an internship with an energy supply company in Merrimack.
Her experience in Manchester gives her hope that Americans will demand some kind of non-military intervention to end the bloodshed in her native land.
"Americans are a compassionate people," she said. "They never stay away from any other person who is struggling. I know Americans, and they can do this."

Businesses share Obamacare frustrations, fears
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., was in Portsmouth on Monday for a conference on the consequences of the Affordable Care Act. To her left is Rick Pierro, president of 48-worker Superior Controls Inc. of Seabrook. (GRETYL MACALASTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
— Among the many letters U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte has received about the Affordable Care Act, she is hard-pressed to think of one that is positive.
She said the correspondence falls into four categories — people concerned about access to the government website, people receiving premium increase notices, hospitals being excluded from the state's health insurance exchange and employers trying to anticipate the changes.
(Related story, Page A2.)
On Monday, Ayotte was in Portsmouth for a roundtable on health care with local business owners and people in the health care industry.
The Republican heard from Mike Ambrogi, chief operations officer with Novacure, a medical device start-up company in Portsmouth being hit with the 2.3 percent medical device tax on revenue.
Ayotte said she has co-sponsored about a dozen pieces of legislation so far to address problems with the Affordable Care Act, including legislation to repeal the medical device tax and restore flexibility in health savings accounts. She is also concerned that the law changes the definition of a full-time employee from one who works 40 hours each week to one who works 30 hours, and has co-sponsored legislation to change that.
Ten New Hampshire hospitals are excluded from the exchange, including Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester, which Ayotte planned to visit Monday afternoon. Tom Buchanan, president of the Derry Medical Center, said what is being overlooked is the impact this will have on all the providers connected with those hospitals, as well as patients who need care.
Ayotte said she would vote to repeal the ACA tomorrow, but in the meantime, is trying to get feedback to improve the system as it exists.
She said she sees the legislation as driving up health care costs instead of reducing them. She said above all things, there needs to be more choice.
New Hampshire is one of two states that has one health insurance company involved with the state health care exchange; West Virginia is the other.
Thomas Harte is president of Landmark Benefits, which represents about 300 companies across New England as a health insurance broker.
He said companies of all sizes are seeing their rates increase, some exponentially.
Self-insured companies, such as Goss International, seem to be doing better. Pascal Orliac, vice-president for global human resources with Goss said rates for the 400-employee company in Durham went up about four percent during the recent renewal, which is uncommonly low.
Mark Lane, president of Co-Ed Sportswear in Newfields, said the company used to pay 100 percent of employees' health care plans and provided good coverage. But after years of getting hit with 10, 12 and 15 percent increases, he said the company had to pass on some of that to employees, who now pay 50 percent of premiums.
He said about half of his employees make between $10 and $12 an hour and cannot afford health insurance, even with the government subsidies, and he cannot afford to have every employee on his plan.
He said as a result, some employees are considering just taking the fine and not signing up for health insurance at all.
"I don't blame them. It just doesn't add up for them ... it doesn't add up for us either," Lane said.
Buchanan said the cost of health insurance for young people is "atrocious." He does not think as many young people are going to enroll as the administration would like.
"All the issues raised tells you that this is right now a mess and really impacts people," Ayotte said.
Ayotte noted although website issues at healthcare.gov have been addressed on the front end, they remain on the back end, with no mechanism in place to get subsidies to insurance companies and then to providers.

FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Role::Acl - FusqlFS class to expose PostgreSQL artifact's permissions
package FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Tables;
use parent 'FusqlFS::Artifact';
use FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Role::Acl;
sub init
my $self = shift;
# initialize class
$self->{acl} = FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Role::Acl->new('r');
sub get
my $self = shift;
my ($name) = @_;
my $result = {};
# load structures into $result
$result->{acl} = $self->{acl};
return $result;
This class exposes PostgreSQL artifact's permissions (a.k.a. ACL) as a directory with subdirectories named after roles with marker files named after permissions. It is best used with plugged in FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Roles module (see FusqlFS::Backend::Base for more info on plugging in different modules).
The class's
new constructor accepts single char argument designating type of artifact the owner of which is to be exposed. Possible values can be seen in FusqlFS::Backend::PgSQL::Role::Base module.
First level of exposed files are subdirectories named after roles, e.g. if a table has perms granted to roles
user1 and
user2 this module will expose subdirectories ./user1 and ./user2.
Removing such subdirectory revokes all permissions from the role, creating subdirectory with some role's name grants all permission to the role.
Every such subdirectory has following structure:
- ./granter
Symlink to role in ../../../../roles which granted current role its permissions.
- ./role
Symlink to current role in ../../../../roles (i.e. the role with the name equal to current subdirectory's name).
- ./insert, ./update, ./delete, ./references, ./trigger, ./usage
Plain files to designated correspondent permission is granted. Remove some of the files to revoke the permission or create new file with one of the names (e.g. with
touch ./insert) to grant such permission.

Sen. Shaheen seeks to close loophole and restore military retiree COLA
January 08. 2014 10:33PM
U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Wednesday filed an amendment that would eliminate tax loopholes for offshore corporations to fund the restoration of cost-of-living increases for military retirees that were cut as part of last year's budget deal.
Her amendment would be part of the emergency unemployment extension legislation that the Senate agreed on Tuesday to begin debating.
Shaheen, D-N.H., said in a statement that her amendment mirrors legislation she introduced in December, the Military Retirement Restoration Act, and replaces the estimated $6 billion in savings from military retiree COLA with an estimated $6.6 billion raised by eliminating a tax loophole for offshore corporations.
"I supported the bipartisan budget agreement we passed last year because it will help create economic certainty for our small businesses, promote job creation, and protect us from another government shutdown that can wreak havoc on our economy," Shaheen said in her statement. "But I also knew it wasn't perfect which is why I'm proposing a smart fix to one of its flaws."
U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., also offered an amendment to the legislation to pay for a three-month extension of long-term unemployment benefits by "stopping illegal immigrants from claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit." Filers would be required to provide Social Security numbers in order to qualify for the credit, she said Tuesday in a statement.
Ayotte did not support the budget deal that passed in December.

Neighborhood Walk: Piazza di Spagna to Villa Borghese
1. Ara Pacis: The Pax Romana is the theme of this ancient monument on the banks of the Tiber. Reconstructed in the 1930s from remnants scattered across scores of museums, the Ara Pacis (Altar of Peace) was commissioned by the Roman senate as a tribute to Emperor Augustus and the peace that followed his imperial expansion. The rectangular structure is now enclosed within a museum designed by American architect Richard Meier and opened in 2006. The monument is covered in intricate carvings, including renderings of Augustus and his family, a scene that may have represented the dedication of the Ara Pacis in 13 b.c. Across the street is the crumbling Mausoleum of Augustus, no longer open to visitors and badly in need of restoration.
2. Piazza di Spagna: Named after the Spanish Embassy that once overlooked the square, the Piazza di Spagna has been the coolest place to hang out in Rome for nearly 300 years. The neighborhood has long attracted foreigners—Lord Byron, Keats, Shelley, Goethe, Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and Hans Christian Andersen are among the artistic hipsters who frequented the local inns and cafés. The Spanish Steps were added in the 1720s to connect the square with Santissima Trinità dei Monti, the Renaissance church on the hilltop above. La Barcaccia, the boat-shaped fountain at the base of the Spanish Steps, predates the stairway by a hundred years. The area's chic boutiques are a recent addition.
3. Keats–Shelley House: Perched on the south side of the Spanish Steps, the building is a holy grail of the early 19th-century English Romantic movement. Poet John Keats moved here in 1820 and died, aged 25, from tuberculosis the following year. Percy Bysshe Shelley lived nearby. He perished in 1822 when he drowned off the Italian coast. Memories of them linger on, as do those of the other Romantics that round out the collection of this marvelous small museum. Exhibits include Keats's death mask and an original manuscript by Mary Shelley, wife of the poet and author of Frankenstein.
4. Piazza del Popolo: Once the spot where religious heretics were executed, the Piazza del Popolo is now the "people's square" and a venue for mass political gatherings. From here a Roman road called the Via Flaminia began its journey north up the Italian Peninsula. On the square's southern side, baroque twin churches—Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto—flank the Via del Corso. The whitewashed Porta del Popolo on the northern side was Rome's primary gateway through much of the Middle Ages and beyond. Architect Giuseppe Valadier conceived the current square in the early 19th century, including ramps and steps that ascend the Pincio hill and an Egyptian obelisk that once graced the Circo Massimo.
5. Santa Maria del Popolo: Raphael, Caravaggio, and Bramante were among the Italian masters who contributed to this lavish church on the north side of the Piazza del Popolo. According to legend, the original church on the site was created to vanquish the ghost of the long-dead Roman emperor Nero, who was buried nearby. It was replaced by the current Renaissance structure, commissioned in 1472 by Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere. Among several frescoes by Pinturicchio, don't miss a delightful "Adoration of the Christ Child" above the altar in the Della Rovere Chapel. Raphael designed the ornate Chigi Chapel for the wealthy banker Agostino Chigi. A pair of Caravaggio masterpieces—"The Conversion of St. Paul on the Road to Damascus" and "The Crucifixion of St. Peter"—hang in the Cerasi Chapel.
6. The Pincio: The lofty green space above the Piazza del Popolo is the Pincio garden, the western sector of the extensive Villa Borghese gardens, but in many respects its own little world replete with busts of notable Italians, an unusual water clock, and the San Carlino marionette theater. The symmetry between square and garden is not accidental: Giuseppe Valadier designed both during the French occupation of Rome under Napoleon. The Piazza Napoleone is an excellent perch to view the Popolo neighborhood directly below and St. Peter's in the distance.
7. Villa Giulia: Built as a country palace for Pope Julius III in the 1550s, the ornate Renaissance villa now houses the Museo Nazionale Etrusco, Italy's premier showcase of regional art and artifacts predating the Roman Empire. Among its many treasures are the Etruscan Sarcofago degli Sposi (Sarcophagus of the Spouses), an incredibly lifelike terra-cotta rendering of a married couple reclining on a banquet sofa, from the sixth century b.c. Set in the northwest corner of the Villa Borghese, the building reflects the extravagant lifestyle of Renaissance popes, in particular a two-story nymphaeum (water grotto) in the garden where Julius entertained guests in summer.
8. Villa Borghese: Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who created the villa and its surrounding gardens, amassed a substantial fortune in the early 17th century via family connections and a devious nature that would have put Machiavelli to shame. The villa now houses the Galleria Borghese, while the gardens have become Rome's most popular park. Stroll along gravel pathways shaded by umbrella pines—perfect on a hot day—and admire statues and classical-style ornamental temples. At the center is the Giardino del Lago (Garden of the Lake), with its boating lake. Don't miss the delightful art nouveau Fontana dei Fauni (Fountain of the Fauns). At the north end of the park, the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna has a good display of 19th- and 20th-century art.
9. Galleria Borghese: The Villa Borghese, housing the Galleria Borghese, originated as a temple to pleasure, a place to show off the art that belonged to Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1577–1633), a nephew of Pope Paul V. He would bring guests through the landscaped gardens and wow them with lavish banquets, entertainments, and his stunning collection. Although Napoleon later carried off many of the prized ancient sculptures to the Louvre in Paris, the core Renaissance collection and the baroque pieces that Scipione commissioned for the villa are still in place.

Yesterday in "The trouble with the Star Tribune poll, cont'd," I questioned the accuracy of the current Minnesota Poll showing Democrat Mark Dayton leading Republican Tom Emmer 39-30 percent. Today Minnesota Public Radio reports on its joint MPR/Humphrey Institute Poll showing Dayton leading Emmer by 38-27 percent. The poll results reflect likely voters; MPR's description of the poll sample and methodology is here.
The MPR/Humphrey Institute poll sample reflects 48 percent Democrats, significantly higher than even the Star Tribune Minnnesota Poll's. The MPR/Humphrey Institute poll results are widely reported today. The poll's sample is not noted in the news accounts. It should be noted that the MPR/Humphrey Institute poll results tend to support the Star Tribune Minnesota Poll's, though it seems to me that they both raise similar questions regarding the validity of their sample.
Mark Dayton is Minnesota's contribution to the psychiatric profession. When he last spoke about his personal issues publicly, he was under treatment for depression. He certainly appears to be medicated. He is also an alcoholic who relapsed only a few years ago during his last year in office as a United States Senator. Before Minnesotans are presented with the choice of voting for Mark Dayton to hold another high office — this one with serious executive responsibilities — someone who covers politics for a living really should ask Dayton to disclose his medical records.

Nina Curtis, Founder and President of The Nile Institute in West Hollywood, CA, has over 25 years experience in the professional personal care and wellness industry. She is a well-respected Holistic Esthetician, certified Natural Health Professional, certified Health and Wellness Coach, certified Health and Fitness Professional and now a certified Living Light Institute Associate Chef and Instructor.
Get to know Nina Curtis in Living Light's Chef Spotlight.
Chef Experience: How did you get interested in raw foods?
Nina Curtis: My journey with raw food started 12 years ago. I was ready for something new in my life. I jumped in feet first, read every book available, took every class I could find, with the best of the best, throughout Los Angeles, attended potlucks, lectures and traveled miles to eat at raw food restaurants.
CE: Are you currently eating a raw food diet? If so, how long have you been eating raw foods?
NC: I am currently eating an 80/20 raw, vegan food diet, (80% raw, plant-based foods). Three years into my all raw food diet, my acupuncturist told me that my 'earth' element needed some warmth. Always, one to let the pendulum swing, I said, "What the heck?" I listened to him and began eating cooked grains and other cooked carbs… I now concentrate on being a 'Conscious' plant-based eater, as I don't like 'labels' and I like to listen to what my body needs.
CE: How has raw foods changed your life?
NC: It's made me realized the power behind the quote, "Let food be thy medicine". I love trying as many new plant-based foods as I can get my hands on as variety is key with this food style!
CE: When did you know that you wanted to be a raw vegan chef?
NC: Once I realized that so many of my family, friends and clients where more interested in this way of eating and they trusted my experiences. I wanted to really be able to prepare gourmet meals that would appeal to all of their senses.
CE: How did you find out about Living Light Culinary Institute?
NC: Many of the people I took classes from early on in my journey had studied with Cherie Soria and that was before Living Light moved to Fort Bragg. I knew when the time was right I would attend Living Light as it is the premiere raw food culinary school of choice!
CE: When deciding on a school, what were the major factors that played a part in your decision? What were you looking for?
NC: The quality of training is key; I likened it to my decision to attend Pepperdine University for my MBA. I wanted to attend a school that was not only on the cutting edge, but could offer me 'real' time experience. I wanted personal attention to my specific needs and goals, and the success of previous graduates was also important to me. When I looked at what many of the graduates of the Living Light Culinary Institute were accomplishing, and so many are accomplishing great and exciting things, I knew this was where I wanted to attend school.
Another factor important to me was the emphasis put on chef and instructor skill sets. I am a business owner, teacher, writer and lecturer in the spa and wellness industry and my certification as a Raw Culinary Arts Associate Chef and Instructor, allows me to expand my business offerings in many innovative ways! I am working on a rebranding of my business and there are some very exciting things to come!
CE: What was your first week at the Living Light Culinary Institute like?
NC: It was fast paced, lots of learning and teaming up with people from all over the continent. There was no messing around! We jumped right in and started making all kinds of dishes. I loved it!
CE: What is your favorite dish that you have created so far?
NC: I really enjoyed so many dishes, but if I have to narrow it down to one, I would say it's been the Mediterranean Dolmas as it's a favorite food of mine.
CE: What was so special about this particular dish?
NC: I had pretty much given 'traditional' dolmas up as I did not want the rice it contained. When I saw that we were going to make it in class with zucchini as a rice replacement, I was a bit skeptical? I thought, let's just leave well enough alone but I was pleasantly surprised that the mouthfeel of the zucchini was much like the rice. I'm enjoying making it at home, along with the savory zucchini hummus!
CE: Which Living Light courses are you most looking forward to taking? Why?
NC: Armed with the Living Light Culinary training that I currently have, I am really looking forward to attending the Gourmet series, especially the 'Rawfusion Spa Cuisine'. This is right up my alley as I am in the spa industry and I will be able to offer this specialty to many spas across the globe. It fits so well with my current consulting and training services and I think more consumers and spas want to learn about this style of cuisine.
CE: What was your typical day at school like?
NC: I was up at about 5:30 a.m. each morning and I volunteered to work in the kitchen at 7:30 am before class started every chance I got (you learn so much by observing the management operations of the kitchen). Green smoothies were served at 8:45am and Instructor training commenced at 9 a.m. By 10 a.m. we started our demos and hands on, which continued all the way through to gastronomy and lunch. More demos and hands on after lunch with the day ending with gastronomy and facility management. Don't think I'm done yet, as we had plenty of home work; reading, research and recipe development to complete. I think that the lights went out in my room on average by midnight. This program is not a vacation. What you put into it, you get out of it!
CE: What do you like most about attending Living Light?
NC: The team at Living Light, including the teachers, administrators and advisors are truly passionate about what they do and they are sincerely interested in each 'student's success. I was very impressed that Cherie Soria, the founder of Living Light, was very involved with our training when she was in town. She is truly the Mother of Raw Gourmet Cuisine, she taught classes, was very hands on in our development and she is a stickler for detail and perfection! I truly appreciated that. I feel that I have received a strong foundation to continue to build on.
CE: What is the most challenging?
NC: Having to leave until next time…
CE: Where do you see yourself after graduation from Living Light Culinary Institute?
NC: I am currently working on my business plan to include; offering lectures, workshops, writing and private and business consultation. I am 'breaking where I am the strongest', as they say, in the spa industry and then I plan to expand from there.
CE: What advice do you have for anyone thinking about a career in the raw foods?
NC: I think it's important to identify your passion and be clear on what you want, not what others want of you. I love teaching, so my emphasis will be on teaching about the raw food lifestyle, through many different mediums.
CE: Do you have any exciting projects in the works?
NC: Yes, I am very excited as I will be speaking to a group of about 150 spa owners, directors, and estheticians on the benefits of a raw food, plant-based diet. I want people to really start thinking about beauty and wellness from the inside out and what that truly means? "You Are What You Eat" and "Eat Right for Your Skin Type" concepts. When I started my raw food journey 12 years ago, people looked at me with a 'raised brow', now some of those same people are interested with what I have to say, that's exciting!
CE: Where do you see yourself five years from now and what path will you take to get there?
NC: I love to plan but I've also learned to stay open to the Universe. I have a lot of ideas which I look forward to bring to fruition such as authoring a couple of books, raw food travel and possibly a line of 'skin food'.
I constantly remind myself that, "I'm not in a hurry for anything, but on time for everything!" ~Nina Curtis

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney took a break from debate preparations Sunday to watch reporters who cover him play football against his senior staff.
Less than three weeks before Election Day, Romney headed to Delray Beach, where senior staffers were gathered across from the press team, all in flag football uniforms. Romney walked down through the sand to officiate the coin toss and buck up his team.
The former Massachusetts governor handed bracelets to both team captains, New York Times reporter Ashley Parker and Romney Communications Director Gail Gitcho. He told them the bracelets read, "Clear eyes, full hearts, America can't lose." It's a version of the slogan from TV's Friday Night Lights.
After the coin toss, Romney gathered his aides into a huddle and led them in a cheer.
"Figure out which of their players is best and take them out early," Romney joked with them. "That's right, don't worry about injuries guys, this counts. Win."
Romney didn't talk politics, refusing to answer a question about whether he would, as president, be open to one-on-one talks with Iran. The small group of reporters assigned to cover the event also asked about Monday's debate and new poll showing a tied race.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Networking equipment company Cisco Systems Inc has acquired a small stake in Russian software developer Parallels, Parallels said on Thursday.
Parallels said in a statement that Cisco has bought about 1 percent of the company and added that the stake sale does not rule out a possible initial public offering of the Russian firm.
"We are looking at all possible ways to ensure liquidity options: dividend payouts, IPO, mergers and acquisitions," Parallel's press service said.
The price of the deal with Cisco has not been revealed, but Cisco will get a seat on Parallels board of directors, the press service said.
At the end of last year the company, which does not disclose financial results, announced that it aims to expand its cloud business and solutions based on the Unified Data Center platform by 20-26 percent annually in the next three years.
(This story has been refiled to clarify stake acquired is about 1 percent)

Financial Assistance
Each year, James Madison University makes funds available through the graduate assistantship program. Although limited in number, assistantships contribute significantly to academic and non-academic areas of the university. Assistantships provide financial assistance to qualified students who otherwise might be unable to pursue graduate degrees. They also offer opportunities for students to gain worthwhile teaching and other experiences relevant to their chosen disciplines.
Students will be awarded assistantships for a maximum of four academic semesters (exclusive of summer session) in most master's and educational specialist degree programs and a maximum of three years in the Master of Fine Arts and doctoral programs. Assistantships are limited to nine paid graduate hours of tuition each fall and spring semester, although contracts are usually written for an academic year. Students must pay for any additional hours each semester at the tuition rate based on residency status. Tuition will be covered at the on-campus rate for the hours stated on the contract.
Any additional charges for Web-based courses will be the responsibility of the student. Under no circumstances will payment from assistantship funds be used for audited course work or undergraduate hours. Assistantships do not cover the student's room and board expenses. No tuition or stipend is paid through the assistantship program for summer hours.
Acceptance of an offer of financial support–such as a graduate scholarship, fellowship, traineeship or assistantship–for the next academic year by a prospective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both student and graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affecting such offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by all parties. Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the intent of this resolution. Read the Council of Graduate Schools' Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees, and Assistants for full details.
Classification of Assistantships
Doctoral Assistant
A Doctoral Assistant is assigned to an academic department to assist faculty members in their responsibilities of teaching and/or research. Students in doctoral programs may also serve as Teaching Assistants. Doctoral Assistants must be enrolled in a doctoral program at JMU. Doctoral Assistantships may cover more than the regular amount of tuition, may pay a higher stipend and may remain in effect through all or part of the summer term.
Graduate Assistant
A Graduate Assistant is assigned to an academic department, support program or administrative office to assist faculty members in preparing for instruction, leading discussion groups, grading papers, conducting research, preparing laboratories, performing departmental administrative tasks, etc. Specific duties will vary according to the needs of the department.
Teaching Assistant
A limited number of Teaching Assistantships are available in academic units offering major programs of graduate study. A Teaching Assistant is assigned to an academic department and is required to instruct one course or three credit hours of course work each semester or an equivalent of three credit hours of laboratory work each semester. Students may also be awarded a teaching assistantship to assist professors within the department with instructor related duties. Teaching Assistants must have completed a minimum of 18 hours of appropriate graduate course work. A Teaching Assistant must be directly supervised by a graduate faculty member.
Assistantship Hours
In accordance with university policy guidelines, Graduate Assistants will provide an average of 20 hours of assistance each week. Graduate Assistants cannot be asked to perform more than an average of 20 hours per week unless special permission is granted from The Graduate School. Visa requirements stipulate that international students may not in any circumstances work more than 20 hours per week. Students may not begin their assignment prior to completion and submission of all required forms.
Additional JMU Employment for Graduate Assistants
Graduate students receiving stipends from Virginia state funds are occasionally permitted to accept JMU employment in addition to the 20 assistantship hours. Permission for such employment must come from The Graduate School, in response to a request by the student's graduate director or adviser. The student and the director or adviser should carefully consider the overall effect of additional employment on the student's academic performance.
Application for Assistantships
Application Process
A student interested in a graduate assistantship should inform the graduate program to which he or she is applying of his or her interest in an assistantship. If there is not an assistantship available, the student may want to apply for a posted assistantship through another department.
To apply for an assistantship:
- Go to http://www.jmu.edu/humanresources/emp/joblink.shtml.
- In the "For Applicants" section, select "click here" to enter JMU JobLink.
- Click "View/Apply for Graduate Assistant Positions."
- Click "View" for the Working Title of each position.
Complete and submit the application for the appropriate position. Assistantship departments contact applicants directly to set up interviews. After selecting a Graduate Assistant, the department will create the contract materials and forward them to The Graduate School. The graduate assistant will sign the contract, complete the tax forms and return them immediately to the assistantship department so information can be entered into the payroll system.
Questions concerning assistantships should be made directly to the graduate program or department offering the assistantship.
Academic Load
The following academic load guidelines apply to all Graduate Assistants. Graduate Assistants must:
- Carry nine credit hours each semester.
- Receive prior approval from the graduate program coordinator when planning to register for more than nine credit hours.
- Pay for any additional credit hours above the nine paid for by their assistantships.
- Pay for the additional cost of any Web-based courses.
- Not take fewer than nine credit hours without prior written approval from The Graduate School. This underload of classes to no fewer than six credit hours is allowed only once during a graduate career.
To be eligible for assistantship consideration, students must:
- Be conditionally or unconditionally accepted into a specific graduation program (provisionally accepted students are not eligible for assistantships).
- Have official transcripts on file in The Graduate School indicating completion of the baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution.
- Carry a full course load of nine credit hours during the period of the assistantship.
Some academic units may require specific deadlines for assistantship applications. Consult the appropriate academic unit for their application deadline.
For tuition to be covered by the assistantship, all Graduate Assistants must register each semester for all courses during the regular registration period(s) and prior to the tuition refund date as outlined in the Registration and Student Record Services Handbook. Students who register for any additional courses after this time will be held personally responsible for additional tuition and fees.
Students who drop courses after the add/drop deadline but before the end of the course adjustment deadline will be held responsible for fees and will receive a grade of "W" for the course. A grade of "WP" or "WF" (according to the status of the student at the time of withdrawal) will be assigned at the discretion of the instructor to the students who withdraw after the course adjustment deadline. The "WP" or "WF" will be recorded and remain on the student's transcript. Exceptions will be made only for documented extenuating circumstances and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Conditions of Continuation in Assistantship
Graduate Assistants are required to make satisfactory progress toward their degrees, which means they must:
- Carry nine hours of graduate course work each semester. Underload approval is required if a Graduate Assistant is not registered for nine graduate hours each semester. Underloads are not approved for less than six graduate credits. Only one underload may be granted during a Graduate Assistant's program of study.
- Maintain at least a 3.0 graduate GPA in order to retain or reapply for the assistantship.
Forfeiture of Assistantship
Students who leave the university, fail to perform the duties under their assistantships, lose their eligibility for the assistantship, or violate a university policy or state or federal law will forfeit their graduate assistantships. In such case, the university may withdraw tuition payment and will have no further obligation to continue to pay a stipend.
Federal Financial Assistance Programs
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships helps qualified students secure a financial aid package designed to meet their financial needs. In most cases, students who have earned a bachelor's degree are no longer eligible to receive federal and state grants, with the exception of the tuition portion of the assistantships mentioned in the prior sections, which may use state dollars to fund the waiver. Therefore, the award package for graduate students generally consists of loans and work-study.
Students interested in information on financial assistance programs should visit the financial aid website, contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships or send an e-mail to email@example.com. Information about financial aid and scholarships at JMU can also be found through a variety of links at http://www.jmu.edu/finaid. A general overview of the aid process and basic consumer information can be found by reading the JMU Terms and Conditions for Financial Aid – Consumer Information document available from http://www.jmu.edu/finaid/forms.shtml.
Application Procedures and Deadlines
All financial aid applicants must undergo a standardized federal "needs analysis" by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To facilitate timely processing of financial aid, it is essential that applicants ensure their FAFSA has reached the federal government by March 1 prior to the academic year for which they are seeking financial assistance. Failure to apply by the priority filing date may cause delays in receiving aid.
A student must complete a FAFSA before financial aid eligibility can be determined for the following sources of aid:
- Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan
- Federal Work-Study Program
- Need-based Foundation Scholarships
- Federal Grad PLUS Direct Loan
When a student files the FAFSA, the federal processor calculates his or her Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is an estimate of the family's ability to contribute to the student's overall educational expenses for one year. JMU calculates the student's financial "need" by subtracting the EFC from the Cost of Attendance (described later).
Financial aid recipients must complete the FAFSA each school year. Amounts and types of assistance may vary from year to year. If funds are available, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships continues to assist students who meet the following conditions:
- Complete the FAFSA, with precedence given to those who apply by the priority filing date of March 1 prior to the academic year for which they are seeking financial assistance.
- Meet the general eligibility requirements for aid as defined by the FAFSA.
- Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements (described later).
Students offered financial assistance by JMU will receive electronic notification regarding their financial aid eligibility. The financial aid office will send a notice to the JMU e-mail account, which directs students to MyMadison, where they may view and interact with their financial aid package. The aid notice has important information, so the recipient should follow all instructions to ensure the completion of required forms. Students can find consumer information regarding the financial aid process, including pertinent rules and regulations, through the financial aid section of their MyMadison account. If any of the information included in the financial aid package or award notification is incorrect, the student should immediately notify the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Financial aid is awarded based on FAFSA information, as well as the student's status at JMU (e.g., academic level, enrollment status and residency).
Federal and state regulations also require the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships to consider any outside sources of assistance when awarding financial aid. These outside sources can be JMU scholarships, private scholarships, veteran's benefits, tuition waivers, etc. The student's financial aid package may fluctuate throughout the year based on changes in FAFSA information, JMU status or the receipt of additional aid. Financial aid notices are usually sent in early summer.
Cost of Attendance
An important part of determining a student's eligibility for financial aid is calculating a Cost of Attendance. In accordance with federal regulations, JMU has developed a Cost of Attendance (i.e., budget) for anticipated expenses a student may incur during the current school year. These expenses include tuition, room, board, books and supplies, travel, and personal. Room and board can refer to either residence hall or off-campus living expenses, depending upon a student's response on the FAFSA. Expenses are also considered for students who live at home with parents or relatives, but the Cost of Attendance is lower than for those living elsewhere. Travel expenses include items such as gasoline, vehicle maintenance and insurance. Personal expenses include laundry, clothing and entertainment. Many of the elements in the Cost of Attendance are estimates, so it is possible for a student to spend more or less than anticipated during any given year.
The Graduate School recognizes that many graduate students depend upon part-time or full-time employment to meet expenses. Though there is no limit to the maximum number of credit hours employed students may take, students and advisers should realize that a course schedule should take into consideration the demands of employment.
Equal Opportunity Employment
James Madison University is committed to selecting faculty and staff without discrimination against individuals on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, parental status, political affiliation, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or veteran status.
Inquiries or requests for reasonable accommodation may be directed to the activity coordinator, the appropriate university office or theOffice of Equal Opportunity.

Satisfactory Academic Progress
To be academically eligible to receive financial assistance, students must be making satisfactory progress toward graduation as defined by The Graduate School and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Financial aid standards are available at http://www.jmu.edu/finaid/sap.shtml.
Student Loans
Website: http://www.jmu.edu/finaid
Federal Direct Loan Program
The Unsubsidized Direct Loan is a long-term, low-interest loan, for which undergraduate, graduate and professional students may apply. The interest rate on each loan is fixed on July 1st of the award year. Students can view current year interest rates at www.jmu.edu/finaid. The student can either pay the interest while in school or have it capitalized (i.e., added to the principle). Payments on the principle amount do not begin until six months after the student graduates or drops below half-time status.
Graduate students may borrow no more than $20,500 per year, or no more than the established Cost of Attendance, whichever is lower. In addition, graduate students may borrow no more than $138,500 during their graduate career, which includes loans received for undergraduate study. For students who received prior Federal Stafford Loans at JMU or another institution, the debt total is the sum of all Direct and Stafford Loans.
Federal Grad PLUS Direct Loans
The Grad PLUS is a credit-based loan. Grad PLUS borrowers may apply for an amount up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received by the student for the academic year. The interest rate on each loan is fixed on July 1st of the award year. Students can view current year interest rates at www.jmu.edu/finaid. Interest begins to accrue on the date of the first loan disbursement. The first payment is due within 60 days of the last disbursement for the loan period. At times a Grad PLUS borrower may receive a deferment while he or she is enrolled at an eligible school. Contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center for details regarding this provision. Students must meet the same general eligibility requirements for federal financial aid that must be met in order to receive a Federal Direct Loan.
Applications for the Federal Grad PLUS Direct Loan are available on the financial aid website, but students should not submit an application until they have received a financial aid award notice explaining their eligibility.
Alternative Loans
Some banks offer credit-based alternative loans to students who either do not qualify for the Direct or Grad PLUS loans or cannot receive enough money through these loan programs to cover their educational expenses. Terms of these private loans vary, but interest rates are normally higher than for the Direct Loan or Grad PLUS. The financial aid office strongly encourages students to exhaust other sources of aid before pursuing an alternative loan. Interested individuals may obtain more Information about alternative loan options from the financial aid website.
JMU Scholarships
Website: http://www.jmu.edu/scholarships
Many scholarships for students are established through the JMU Foundation and individual university departments. Scholarships are awarded either through the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships or by the appropriate college or division according to established criteria. Awards are based upon merit and/or need. To be considered for need-based scholarships, students must complete the FAFSA. For information on specific scholarships, students should visit the scholarships website.
Private Off-campus Scholarships
Private off-campus scholarships include those awarded to students by outside (non-JMU) organizations. These scholarships are credited to the student's account upon receipt of the funds. If this type of scholarship is to be used to pay tuition and fees, the funds must be received prior to the payment due date for that semester. Mail all off-campus scholarship checks to:
James Madison University Business Office
738 South Mason Street, MSC 3516
Harrisonburg, VA 22807
The student is responsible for compliance with the provisions of the scholarship (i.e., grade reporting, verification of attendance, etc.).
Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program
This program is named in honor of Dr. Ronald E. McNair, the laser physicist and Challenger space shuttle astronaut. Funded through a grant from the United States Department of Education, the objective of the McNair Programs are to increase the numbers of low-income, first-generation and underrepresented minority undergraduates who pursue doctoral degrees, specifically the Ph.D., and go on to careers in research and teaching at the university level.
Application fees to The Graduate School will be waived for McNair applicants. For more information on the McNair Programs, refer to the website at http://www2.ed.gov/programs/triomcnair/index.html.
Student Employment
Website: http://www.jmu.edu/stuemploy
JMU employs both graduate and undergraduate students in academic, administrative or service oriented areas. Students must be degree seeking and enrolled on at least a half-time basis during the academic year to be employed in these positions. They receive payment for their services via direct deposit twice a month. Wages earned in student positions are not applied directly toward the cost of tuition; however, they serve as a source of income for weekly living expenses. There are three work programs at JMU.
Federal Work-Study Program
Federal Work-Study (FWS) can be part of the financial aid package for students who demonstrate financial need as determined by their FAFSA. Students who are offered FWS will need to apply and interview with employers to secure a position; however, employment is not guaranteed. To obtain information about available FWS positions, refer to the student employment website. These jobs provide a student with the opportunity to earn a paycheck throughout the year. If the student reports FWS earnings as need-based employment on next year's FAFSA, then the money earned through this program is not counted as income when determining financial aid eligibility for that year.
Institutional Employment
Institutional Employment positions are on-campus positions available to degree-seeking JMU students regardless of financial need. To obtain additional information concerning available on-campus positions, refer to the student employment website. There are approximately 2,000 Institutional Employment positions available on campus each year. Students may not work more than 20 hours per week in any on-campus position during the fall and spring semesters.
Off-Campus Part-Time Jobs
The off-campus part-time jobs program is designed to assist students in securing off-campus, part-time employment regardless of their financial aid eligibility. The program's coordinator works with local employers to promote hiring JMU students and to assist with advertising their opportunities.
Additionally, the program is centered on creating real-world experiences for students that will not only increase self-knowledge but also develop marketable skills that will provide a solid foundation for securing jobs beyond graduation. To obtain information about available positions, refer to the student employment website.
University Withdrawal
If students withdraw from their graduate program or the university, the University Business Office may adjust their charges based upon their withdrawal date and the JMU Refund Policy. For the university refund policy, refer to the University Business Office website.
Regardless of any adjustment to a student's charges, if he or she withdraws from the university, financial aid may be adjusted based on the percentage of the semester completed before withdrawal. In some cases, Federal Return of Title IV Funds regulations may require that aid be returned to the federal government for students who withdraw from JMU before 60 percent of a term has been completed. Financial aid is awarded for the entire term, which is generally a 15-week period. If a student does not complete the entire 15 weeks, then the Return of Title IV Fund rules will determine how much financial aid has been earned. The student can keep the earned amount for the term, but the unearned portion must be immediately returned to the federal government. In some situations, this will leave the student with a balance owed to the university. Funds are returned to the federal government in the following order: Grad PLUS and Unsubsidized Direct. See the JMU Terms and Conditions for Financial Aid – Consumer Information document in the "Forms" section at http://www.jmu.edu/finaid for a sample calculation.

Author Notes: This traveling dish works well at any temperature. Fill the mushrooms with the pesto of your choice, or enjoy the vegan recipe below. —cyndin
Makes: 1-2 dozen mushrooms
cups pine nuts (or raw cashew pieces)
bunch fresh cilantro
bunch fresh parsley (flat leaf is best)
bunch fresh mint (optional)
Juice of 2 good sized limes (or lemons)
cup (or to taste) extra virgin olive oil
Fresh garlic cloves, peeled (optional)
Cumin seeds or powder
Chilpotle powder
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
- Turn the nuts into meal in a food processor or a good blender (a few seconds).
- Add lime juice (and garlic if using) and process until very creamy (you can add some of the olive oil if needed).
- Add seasonings to taste and blend until well mixed.
- Cut or twist off the ends of the stems of the parsley and cilantro then wash the herbs well (normally they take 3 soaks and lift-outs in a large bowl of water). Remove mint leaves (if using) from the stem and wash leaves if needed. Shake off water well.
- Set aside a couple handfuls of herbs without their stems. Process the rest into the nuts until everything is green and no stems are left intact.
- Adjust salt and other seasonings if needed. Add olive oil and blend in.
- Add the remaining leaves and pulse the machine so that the leaves are all cut up well but still recognizable (or mince the leaves and mix them in by hand).
Crimini mushrooms (quantity depends on size of mushrooms and herb bunches; this recipe should fill at least a dozen 2-2 1/2" diameter mushrooms)
- Wash the mushrooms and gently remove the stems and the fleshy part over the gills (chop what you've removed and put aside for a stir-fry another day).
- Lightly oil a baking pan, place the mushrooms gill down on the pan to get some oil then flip to roast on their backs.
- Bake until soft but still strong enough to pick up with your fingers. About 15 minutes at 350*F, but go by doneness, not time.
- Dump any accumulated liquid and leave them upside down on the dry pan to cool.
- Put a heaping spoonful of pesto in each mushroom.
- Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. Store in single layers. They will last in the fridge for a day or two. Great for picnics.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Picnic Dish

4th annual event allows children to climb in municipal and maintenance vehicles
Fire trucks and police cars and ambulances, oh my! It's time once again for Old Falls Street, USA's, annual "Touch-a-Truck" event, to be held Saturday, Aug. 10, from 2 to 5 p.m. The afternoon allows children and their families to climb into a variety of municipal and maintenance vehicles to see how they operate.
The event will be held on the middle block of Old Falls Street, USA, in downtown Niagara Falls, and is free and open to the public.
"Old Falls Street, USA, is happy to host this family-friendly event for the fourth year in a row," said Global Spectrum's Ryan Coate, general manager of Old Falls Street, USA, and the Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls. " 'Touch-a-Truck' is a concept that is held in many major municipalities throughout the country in order to allow children to interact with not only the vehicles themselves, but the first-responders and street technicians that operate these larger-than-life trucks on a daily basis."
Event sponsor KeyBank (Pine Avenue branch in Niagara Falls) will pave the way for the transport of some of the vehicles. Guests will enjoy interacting with trucks from Niagara Falls Fire Department and the City of Niagara Falls, among others. Also featured will be a giant inflatable mobile activity center and other family-friendly activities.
The day also includes a visit by Old Falls Street's mascot, Walter C. Falls, food and beverage vending, Ride Niagara bicycle rentals and "Backyard Board Games," which allow guests to play giant versions of popular family board games.

Thanks for pointing this out.
You could very easily be right with respect to gcc being allowed to run in parallel. That means we've got another problem. I can't speak for Inline::C's test suite, but I can say that no Inline::CPP test is intentionally reliant on any other test. And to answer your question, Inline::CPP generates within an _Inline directory a new subdirectory for each build's files. Nevertheless, there must be some resource that is getting clobbered, and I should be investigating that instead of looking for a means of preventing parallel testing. More research needed in that area, it seems.
Let's put the Inline::CPP example aside for a moment then, and let the original question stand without any strong example of a module that fits that infinitesimally small category. :)

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) rose to the highest price since May 2012, the month of its initial public offering, amid optimism that the world's largest social network can bolster sales from mobile advertising.
Facebook jumped 2.7% to $34.94 at 11:24 a.m. in New York, and earlier touched $35.07 for the highest intraday price since May 21, 2012, its second trading day. The stock hasn't closed above the $38 IPO price since the day of its market debut.
The gains underscore increasing investor confidence that Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg can bring in more revenue from the growing number of users who access Facebook on wireless devices. Mobile ads, which generated 41% of Facebook's revenue in the second quarter, are helping Facebook challenge advertising rivals such as Google Inc., according to Youssef Squali, an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald.
"I would feel a lot more comfortable owning the stock here" than when Facebook held its IPO, Squali, who recommends buying the shares, said in an interview.
While Google accounts for more than 50% of the world's mobile-ad market, it's now growing more slowly than Facebook. Internet-search ads -- Google's biggest strength --are less effective on mobile screens than on desktop computers, according to Scott Kessler, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ in New York.
Banner advertising, meanwhile, can be less relevant because it doesn't typically target users based on their interests or habits, Kessler said. Google's AdMob unit and Apple Inc.'s iAd service both focus on those kinds of promotions, which often appear at the top or bottom of a device's screen.
Mobile Advertisers
Facebook's mobile application has gained support from advertisers because it more closely ties ads to the activities of its 819 million users, said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities Inc. in Los Angeles. Facebook has 1.15 billion members in total -- including people who just use it on desktop computers.
"The existence of a Facebook app on your phone makes you more likely to check on it day in and day out," Pachter said.
Facebook has a price-to-earnings ratio of about 152, higher than all but five companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. By contrast, Google's stock trades at about 26 times earnings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A higher ratio can signal that invesors think the company may report stronger earnings growth in the future.

And it looks like Jeremy Jacobs picked up the phone to Buttman on the Volchenkov elbow. 4 games? Even though I am bias against the Bruins and do think Marchand is a asswipe, that still seems excessive for a glancing blow.
Well, it was more than a glancing blow and Volchenkov is a repeat offender, is he not?
It was deserving of 4 games. It was a deliberate hit to the head, even though it couldn't have happened to a more worthy guy.
