Gibson just Ducky in debut
The new era in Anaheim Ducks' goaltending arrived in style Saturday night.
Touted to be the Ducks goaltender of the future, John Gibson stepped into Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal against the Los Angeles Kings and stole the show.
Gibson, 20, made 28 saves in a 2-0 victory, becoming the youngest goaltender to record a shutout in his NHL playoff debut.
"I just tried to play my game, I didn't try to do anything different," Gibson said on Sunday. "It was a big game. We knew they (Kings) were going to have a push at the end. Even in the second period they came out hard. It is just part of the game. I thought guys did a really good job in front of me helping me out."
Gibson was called up from the Norfolk Admirals after Frederik Andersen suffered a lower body injury in Game 3 of the series on Thursday. The Admirals weren't expected to still be playing at this point, but Gibson was outstanding in a first-round upset over the Manchester Monarchs, who happen to be the Kings' AHL affiliate.
Gibson stepped off the plane from Norfolk and into the spotlight the following night, helping the Ducks even the series.
"It was awesome," said Ducks defenceman Cam Fowler. "We have confidence in whoever we play in net. All three of our goalies have proven themselves as NHL goaltenders. But for him to step in the way that he did, in such a big game, especially on the road, considering he doesn't have a lot of NHL experience, was incredible. The guys tried to rally around him, we tried to do the best we could in front of him. He made some key saves for us and that's why we came out with the win."
A second-round pick of the Ducks (39th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Gibson had three games of NHL experience going into Saturday's pressure cooker.
Despite having veteran Jonas Hiller available, who did not play poorly in losing the first two games of the series, Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau decided to roll the dice with Gibson.
"I just thought he gave us the best chance for that game to win," Boudreau said. "That, and if we didn't have success (Saturday), can you throw a rookie in a deciding game? Is it fair to him? I knew I could always come back to Hilly and be fine and be very comfortable with that.
"But that was his chance to see what he could do. And you knew L.A. hadn't seen him before."
Gibson will get the start in the pivotal fifth game of the series Monday in Anaheim.
Based on his play early on, he may never relinquish the Ducks' net. Hopefully Gibson packed a large suitcase on his flight in from Norfolk.
"(Saturday) night was truly something special," said Ducks defenceman Ben Lovejoy. "He did exactly what we've heard he does, he just stopped everything. He made the routine saves look easy. He made the difficult saves every time.
"It was so fun to play in front of him. I think we're so lucky to have a guy like that come in and win a playoff game for us."
Growing up in Pittsburgh and coming through the U.S. national team development program, Gibson is familiar with pressure situations.
He has been in a world U-18 championship, two world junior championships and a world championship tournament for the United States. Gibson played his junior hockey with the Kitchener Rangers before entering the Ducks' system.
"My second year in Plymouth, he was the reason we didn't beat Kitchener that year," said Ducks centre Rickard Rakell. "We had a really good team and we were supposed to beat them but we couldn't score on them. It was kind of like (Saturday). We outshot Kitchener but we couldn't score. He was a big part of that. He's a good goaltender."
The Ducks kept Gibson in the minors this year due to the logjam of quality goaltenders they had on their team.
Hiller started the year as the Ducks starter, with Viktor Fasth riding shotgun. Injuries to Fasth paved the way for Andersen to challenge for the top role, which he eventually took over.
Fasth, in turn, was traded to the Edmonton Oilers, moving Gibson up the depth chart.
"Our goal was for him to play as much as he can play in this first year," Boudreau said. "We had Freddie Andersen, we had Viktor until the trade deadline, and we had Hilly. There was never any rush. It was like we didn't want to get into that we're-rushing-him-before-he's-ready type of thing. Our goaltending was not a problem."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran claimed the role of Republican leader on the Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday, giving the U.S. cotton-and-rice-growing region a more powerful voice in the debate over how to reform farm subsidies.
Cochran, who chaired the committee from 2003 to 2007, displaced Pat Roberts from Kansas, one of the largest wheat-growing states.
Roberts was an advocate of replacing traditional crop subsidies with a program that shielded crop revenue from poor yields or low prices.
Although the Senate passed new farm legislation in June, its $500 billion bill died in the House of Representatives, partly due to opposition from Southern growers. They wanted higher price supports and said the insurance-like system proposed in the Senate bill was not suited to rice and peanut crops.
In a statement, Roberts said Cochran asserted his seniority as a longer-serving member of the Agriculture Committee to take the post of ranking Republican. Roberts held the job for the past two years.
Following election to the Senate in 1978, Cochran, a lawyer by training, concentrated on government funding issues and eventually became chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee in 2005, overseeing all federal spending.

NYC Police Taking Fresh Look at Weinstein Sex Assault claims
Police detectives are taking a fresh look into sexual assault allegations against Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein.
New York Police Department spokesman Peter Donald said Thursday that investigators are trying to determine whether there were any additional complaints involving Weinstein, now embroiled in a sex abuse scandal. That includes reviewing police files to see if any women previously reported being assaulted or harassed by him.
So far, no filed complaints have been found, he said, other than one well-known case that prompted an investigation in 2015, but authorities are encouraging anyone with information on Weinstein to contact the department.
More than a dozen women - including actresses Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd and Gwyneth Paltrow - told The New York Times and The New Yorker magazine for recent stories that Weinstein had sexually harassed or sexually assaulted them. Weinstein was fired Sunday by The Weinstein Co., a studio he co-founded with his brother.
Detectives in the NYPD's special victims unit were instructed to identify and speak with any potential victims, including the women who spoke about their encounters with Weinstein in a recent New Yorker article, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
In The New Yorker expose, a former actress, Lucia Evans, said Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex in 2004 when she was a college student.
At least one other unnamed woman said she was raped by Weinstein, but the article did not disclose when it where it happened. A third woman, actress Asia Argento, told the magazine that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 1997 at a hotel in France.
Under New York law, making someone engage in oral sex by physical force or the threat of it is a first-degree criminal sexual act. There's no legal time limit for bringing charges.
Weinstein, through a spokeswoman, has denied any nonconsensual sexual conduct with any women. He said Wednesday in Los Angeles that he's hoping for a second chance and needs to "get help."
New York detectives already investigated Weinstein once, in 2015, when an Italian model said the studio executive grabbed her breasts and groped her. Detectives set up a sting where they recorded a conversation between the woman and Weinstein, where he tried to persuade her to come into his hotel room.
"Why yesterday you touch my breast?" the 22-year-old asked on the recording published by The New Yorker.
"Oh, please, I'm sorry, just come on in. I'm used to that. Come on. Please," Weinstein responded.
But Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the case. Vance said his office's "best lawyers" examined the evidence before deciding, less than two weeks after the woman first made her allegations, to drop the investigation.
"I, like they, were very disturbed by the contents of the tape. It's obviously sickening," Vance said. "But at the end of the day we operate in a courtroom of law, not the court of public opinion. And our sex crime prosecutors made a determination that this was not going to be a provable case, and so the decision was made not to go forward."
Police investigated the 2015 allegations as a case of forcible touching, a misdemeanor with a two-year time limit for bringing charges. The statute of limitations has since expired.

Industrial production in the U.S. unexpectedly shrank in January as factories took a breather after the biggest back-to-back gain in three decades.
Output at factories, mines and utilities fell 0.1% after a 0.4% gain in December, figures from the Federal Reserve showed today in Washington. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey called for a 0.2% rise. Manufacturing, which makes up 75% of total production, dropped after revised data for November and December showed the biggest two-month gain since 1984.
A pickup in consumer and business spending toward the end of 2012 and stabilization in overseas markets including China and Europe will help sales at companies such as Deere & Co. and Eaton Corp Plc. At the same time, a higher tax that is trimming Americans' paychecks and the risk of across-the-board cuts in federal outlays may prevent bigger gains in production.
"Manufacturing will advance slowly this year as long as demand keeps growing and nothing knocks the economy off course," Guy Berger, an economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, said before the report. Berger was the third-best forecaster of industrial production over the past two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. "Markets like China and Latin America will help to keep a floor under U.S. exports."
Another report today showed factories regained their footing this month. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index climbed to 10, the highest since May 2012 and exceeding the highest forecast in a Bloomberg survey, from minus 7.8 in January. The median projection called for minus 2. Readings greater than zero signal expansion in New York, northern New Jersey and southern Connecticut.
Survey Results
Estimates for total U.S. production from the 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg ranged from a drop of 0.2% to an increase of 0.5%. The prior month was previously reported as a gain of 0.3%.
Manufacturing, which accounts for about 12% of the economy, dropped 0.4% last month after jumping 1.1% in December and 1.7% in November, the biggest back-to-back gain since January and February 1984.
The output of motor vehicles and parts decreased 3.25 after a 2.9% gain a month earlier, today's report showed. Excluding autos and parts, manufacturing production fell 0.1% after jumping 0.9% and 1.3% in the previous two months.

Her husband, Mahmoud, summons their youngest daughter, Hiba, from the next room. She cautiously enters the lounge, clutching onto a handbag as if it contained her worldly possessions. Her eyes are grave, belying her young age of five years.
Hiba soon warms to our presence in her house, and whilst she stays close to Fatima, she smiles and giggles at us as we talk to her parents. Her other siblings – all boys – are at school. I ask Fatima if her sons are happy at the school.
"They're happy to be learning, but they find it difficult to make friends", she respond.
This is not an uncommon sentiment amongst Syrian refugees in Amman, but it varies from family to family depending on the neighbourhood or school.
Mahmoud interjects saying that he will not let Hiba go to the shop down the road because she will be taunted by other children for being a "Syrian girl". The neighbourhood they live in – Mukhayma Al Hussein – is one of the roughest in Amman, with high levels of unemployment and poor living conditions. Adolescents with little to do, often loiter on the streets, generally harassing passers-by that are not locals.
Feeling isolated. Originally from an area near Damascus, Mahmoud and Fatima were forced to leave Syria after their town became too dangerous to stay in. They moved first within the city of Damascus and later fled to Jordan. They left their home 10 months ago. Fatima explained their journey to us.
"It was difficult for us to come here. We were turned away by the Syrian authorities at the border four times. Finally we got a letter from an optician in Damascus saying that our son had to go to Jordan for an eye operation. It wasn't true, but we had to do it to get out", she said.
Hiba soon tires of our adult conversation and goes outside to the small passageway where Mahmoud has put up a swing. Hiba swings wildly in the confined space, the only form of 'play' that she has whilst her siblings are at school and she's home alone.
One of her brothers – Marwan – returns home from school at that moment, and we chat about his school life. Similar to Hiba, he is shy around adult company, but relaxes once we start talking to him about his life.
"It's nice here, going to school, learning new things. But I miss my friends in Syria, and I feel that they don't like me at this school. But it's okay, my brothers are there".
Dreaming of the future. Mahmoud has yet to find a job despite his daily attempts. When I ask him what he wants for the future of Syria, he gestures questioningly to no one in particular with a look of concern on his face.
"I want to live in Syria freely, with respect between all religions; a place where everyone is allowed to believe in their own religion – Jews, Christians, Muslims. It once was like that, why can't we live like that again?" he asks.
Himself a Sunni, Mahmoud recalls the religious tolerance and way of life that he was accustomed to in Syria. However, this social fabric is fastly being eroded by the conflict.
"I want a Syria that is open to the world. Not something closed and isolated, we were starting to open up and now we might lose it all", he continues.
However, Mahmoud is not unrealistic. He adds that if this lifestyle is not possible and that if they cannot return to Syria then he wants to live with his family elsewhere. Where this would be is a question no one can answer at present. The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has not yet opened up resettlement to a third country for Syrians.
Before we leave, Nawal, a member of the JRS family visits team, invites Fatima, Mahmoud and their children to a social gathering organised by JRS. Social gatherings provide an opportunity for refugees to meet other families who have gone through the same trauma of displacement, and may also experience similar difficulties adapting to their new environment.
Bringing people together in a relaxed atmosphere is a way of reducing their sense of isolation in a sprawling city like Amman, as well as helping communities to create new networks of support.

About Kim Luttrell
Though she experiments with a constantly evolving style, Brooklyn-based artist Kim Luttrell maintains consistency in her inspirations. Luttrell was raised in Kentucky, where she developed a childhood tendency for collecting that remains with her today, evidenced by her use of cards, record albums, advertisements, and other found objects in her work. Recent projects have involved cutting and reassembling cards to ultimately redefine their meaning. This labor-intensive process unites fragments to form a greater image, often with profound political or philosophical messages. In other work, Luttrell collects paint chips scraped from her clothes (used as a palette) which she combines into abstract sculptures. These pieces taken on erratic, abstracted forms of nature and humans, depicted in a seemingly infinite color palette. Another previous body of work portrayed celebrity portraits with enlarged faces in a style likened to Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

I just want to start this by saying that I love nursing my LO. Nursing has been one of the most loving acts I've ever experienced -- and I love my DD for sharing that with me. And nursing has saved us in some bad situations: stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours and, worse, stuck on the side of the road after a car accident (no one was hurt). Not once did I have to worry about my baby going hungry or thirsty.
And, especially as a breast cancer "survivor" (I use that word reluctantly), nursing is one of the most life affirming experiences. Nursing with one breast made me fiercely protective of my supply. I never gave a paci, never gave a bottle (except when advised by an LC), and never denied my girl comfort nursing or middle of the night nursing. Since birth she's nursed to sleep... and I think that's our problem.
LO is now 5 months and for the past 6 weeks she's woken up and nursed back to sleep at least once every hour -- sometimes twice an hour. Lately she screams within a few seconds of waiting for me to even get my breast near her. We're co-sleeping so, really, we're talking a matter of seconds. She usually goes right back out after a few minutes of comfort sucking (no swallowing whatsoever and these are fast and furious sucks). We've been doing a nice early bedtime routine for a while and, despite thinking I'm timing things to her cues, she's getting harder and harder to nurse down after a bath and a story. I'm exhausted and she's also a little bit off during the day -- less smiles and more anxious.
On top of it all it's now impossible to get her to nap with nursing. I walk her in the Ergo 3 times a day for an hour. So I can't even catch up on lost night sleep during her naps. I'm a mess. With all the walking I now weigh less than I did prior to pregnancy. I nearly walked in to traffic with her the other day. I'm scared that the lack of sleep will lead me to hurt her.
Sooo... from reading Pantley I think my dear baby doesn't know how to put herself to sleep and how to get to the next sleep cycle without nursing. I'm afraid that my nursing her to sleep and co-sleeping has just made this much much worse.
I've tried to gently pull her off once she's asleep and to do it again and again when she roots and relatches. This never works for more than 15 mins. In fact, she'll wake up angry and go straight to tears.
I'm not going the CIO route. But I just don't know what to do. Any advice? How can I get her to fall asleep on her own and stay asleep for more than 45 mins? I'd do anything for 2-3 hours.
Thanks for all the support.

JERUSALEM (AP) — American expatriates in Israel are lining up strongly behind Republican candidate Mitt Romney, in contrast to their fellow Jews back in the U.S., according to a survey.
It's an example of their different priorities and perceptions of U.S. policy.
While American Jews have long backed Democratic presidential candidates, American immigrants in the Jewish state are staunchly Republican. One recent survey estimated that more than four-fifths of expatriate voters here cast absentee ballots for Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"I hope and pray that Romney will win and he will do what he says he will do," said Paula Markowitz, a Jerusalem resident originally from Teaneck, New Jersey. "(President Barack) Obama is no good for Israel, no good for the Jews, no good for America."
Most Americans who immigrate to Israel are religious Jews who tend to hold socially conservative views typical of Republicans. Their backing for Romney also reflects a general trend in Israel, where Obama is widely viewed with suspicion.
Obama's early gestures toward the Muslim world raised concerns in Israel, along with his decision to bypass Israel after delivering a landmark speech in neighboring Egypt in 2009. Since then, he has clashed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a variety of sensitive issues.
"Most Israelis like Obama as a person but are very suspicious about his policies toward Israel, Iran, the Arab Spring, and Israeli-Palestinian negotiations," said Eytan Gilboa, an expert on American-Israeli relations at Bar-Ilan University. "They don't know much about Romney, but they feel he could better accommodate Israeli interests and causes."
Obama's staunch support for Israeli security has done little to change minds.
A survey by iVoteIsrael, a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote organization, found that 85 percent of American voters in Israel cast absentee ballots for Romney. The group polled 1,572 U.S. expatriates between Oct. 22 and 24, and said the survey had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
Israel's Republicans Abroad organization found the poll consistent with its own internal surveys. Israel's Democrats Abroad said the survey was biased and unscientific.
According to iVoteIsrael, there are almost 160,000 potential voters in Israel. The group estimates that half of them cast absentee ballots this year, up from 20,000 in 2008.
"Jews tend to vote in America more than other communities, so it not's surprising that when they come over, their turnout remains high," said Eli Pieprz, the group's director.
It is unclear what impact the American expatriate votes will have. Most immigrants come from the New York area, which appears to be solidly Democratic this year. But there are sizeable communities from swing states like Ohio and Florida.
In the United States, Obama won 78 percent of the Jewish vote in 2008, according to exit polls at the time. Recent polls show the president down as much as 10 percentage points because of economic and foreign policy concerns, but by and large, American Jews remain firmly in the liberal camp that backs Obama — unlike American immigrants in Israel.
Jerusalem resident Bryna Franklin, a former Democrats Abroad-Israel chair, appears in a pro-Romney ad, saying that the special relationship between America and Israel doesn't exist anymore.
"Forget that you voted for Democrats since you've been knee high to a grasshopper," she says. "I'm urging American Jews to switch sides and vote for Romney as president."
Kory Bardash, the co-chair of Republicans Abroad-Israel, said Franklin's transition is one of many he's seen in Israel over the past few years.
But Sheldon Schorer, a leading member of Democrats Abroad-Israel, claimed that American votes in Israel parallel the votes of Jewish voters in America.
"Sure, Obama and Netanyahu might not have a warm relationship, but whether they go out on double dates to the movies and eat Chinese food together isn't of interest," he said.

Taking care of the earth and all its living creatures is an essential part of Buddhist practice. Within the vast array of Buddhist teachings, 3 relate directly to the exercise of taking care of our sacred planet. The first of these is what is referred to as 'interdependent origination' in which Buddhists believe that nothing on this earth has independent existence. All of earth's creatures can be thought of as a thread on the same great tapestry of the universe and therefore intrinsically linked together. Our interactions keep the tapestry in a constant state of flux. So in essence whatever conditions happen to one, happen to all.
The second teaching is the First Precept, or 'do not kill.' This entails that we must not directly harm another living creature nor allow others to kill for us. This has enormous implications, as believers must make sure that every product they buy is produced or obtained without destruction of the environment. Obviously keeping track of everything would be an arduous task for any individual, so one must at least be mindful and not blatantly disregard the origins of purchases.
The last teaching is called 'metta' or showing loving-kindness towards every being. This means that we must show kindness even towards things we do not like or find trivial. As the metta sutta put it,
"As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings."
We should all put forth a better effort to be more mindful of our environments in order to help take care of our sacred earth. Even adopting simple practices such as recycling, planting a small vegetable patch, or riding a bike every once and a while instead of driving can make a big impact.

NEW YORK -- It's only one win in a long season, but manager Charlie Manuel seemed to be more pleased than usual following Wednesday's 10-6 victory over the New York Mets at Citi Field
Maybe because it was the way the Phillies won that pleased the manager. This was a game in which the Phillies combined a little bit of everything that Manuel had hoped to see more frequently as we near completion of the first third of the season.
The game included solid starting pitching, a comeback effort, timely hitting, and strong relief pitching (when the outcome was still in doubt).
And the players seemed genuinely excited, maybe because this was the type of game that the Phillies expected to win based on seasons past.
"The dugout was lively and everybody was into it," Manuel said.
Cliff Lee pitched six solid innings, and is still without a win but he said that didn't matter as long as the team won. Carlos Ruiz had the key pinch hit two-run homer that tied the score in the seventh.
Antonio Bastardo and Jose Contreras pitched shutout innings in relief when the game was still in doubt. Jimmy Rollins looks like he could be breaking out after a 3 for 5 game that included a three-run home run.
Brian Schneider got another big clutch hit, the double that enabled Manuel to pinch hit Ruiz for Lee, the move that turned the game around.
What Manuel appeared to like the most was that the Phillies grinded this win out. Manuel is a baseball lifer and he appreciates talent, but also a team that can fight. Too often this season that hasn't been a trait this team has shown.
"When we stay with it like we did tonight, when we outplay the other team, when you are consistent, wanting it, you enjoy playing and have a passion for the game," Manuel said. "Plus when we execute, we did some good things right in the game."
Manuel also mentioned that the Phillies have now won two road series in a row. They took three of four in St. Louis and two of three at Citi Field. (Technicall, it's three road series in a row becaue the PHillies swept the Cubs May 16-17 in Chicago).
"Now we have to go home and win some games," he said.
Amazingly the Phillies are just 11-13 at Citizens Bank Park.
More than win, he feels the Phillies need some victories like this recent one, where a team has to show its character and heart.
It's only one game and nobody should suggest will turn things around but it did change the mood of the manager.
Besides enjoying the result, Manuel appeared truly proud of the effort and too many times he left the ballpark this season without a similar feeling.

Given the typically biased and incomplete information given out by the media on liberal progressive issues such as gun control, it's no wonder Marylander voters polled strongly in support of controls on assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines are needed to prevent killings like those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. ("Marylanders strongly support two gun control measures," Jan. 14).
But before any new restrictions on rifles and ammunition clips are passed in Maryland, everyone, especially the governor and state lawmakers, should step back, take a deep breath and review the statistics on the weapons used in Maryland homicides.
According to the FBI crime statistics, between 2004 and 2011 Maryland had an average of 490 murders a year committed with various weapons. Of those, knives accounted for nearly 13 percent, non-handgun weapons were used in 10 percent and 4.5 percent were caused by hands and feet. Rifles were used in less than 1 percent of cases.
So why are rifles being targeted by the politicians rather than knives?
Gun control advocates say there is no reason for someone to own a semiautomatic assault rifle and no need for ammunition clips holding more than 10 rounds. But if that is true, why do we have automobiles that can go 100 mph when the maximum legal speed in Maryland is only 65 mph?
Speed kills as surely as firearms do. According to U.S. Department of Commerce statistics, out of 547 Maryland traffic deaths in 2009, 184, or 34 percent, resulted from speeding. So why not put controls on vehicles that automatically limit their speed? If limiting unnecessary deaths is the goal, car speed controls would save more lives than controls on rifles.
Moreover, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Association, Maryland drunk drivers caused 162 deaths, or 33 percent of all traffic deaths, in 2011. But the vehicle is never targeted for controls, only the driver.
So why are guns targeted for controls and not the person pulling the trigger? Doesn't anyone see the inconsistency in the argument against guns?
Clearly, the liberal progressive advocates of gun control are using the Sandy Hook tragedy to challenge the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment by nefarious methods, hoping the public will not notice how their freedom to own guns that is unique in the world is being eroded. If the progressives are successful, we will eventually be at the mercy of the criminals and the government.

By Robert Evans
GENEVA (Reuters) - Francois Englert, the Belgian physicist widely tipped to share a Nobel prize this year with Britain's Peter Higgs, said on Tuesday many cosmic mysteries remain despite the discovery of the boson that gave shape to the universe.
And he predicted that new signs of the real makeup of the cosmos, and what might lie beyond, should emerge from 2015 when the world's most powerful research machine - the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN - goes back into operation.
"Things cannot be as simple as our Standard Model," Englert told Reuters, referring to the draft concept of how the universe works for which the last missing element was provided when the long-sought particle named for Higgs was spotted last year.
"There are so many questions that the model doesn't answer. There must be much, much more. And we look to getting closer to understanding what that is when the data starts emerging from a more powerful LHC," he said.
Englert, 81, spoke during a visit to CERN, the research center near Geneva where discovery of the boson - which with its linked force field made creation of stars and planets possible after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago - was made.
The giant subterranean LHC was shut down in February to be equipped to collide particles at close to the speed of light with twice as much force as during its first three years of operations, crowned with the Higgs' appearance.
Englert's visit, with Belgium's prime minister Elio Di Rupo, came amid discussion among scientists on whether the particle should remain tied to the name of Higgs or also bear a reference to Englert and another Belgian physicist Robert Brout.
The concept of a particle and field that turned flying matter into mass after the primeval explosion that gave birth to the universe emerged in 1964 - the product of three separate research efforts by six physicists in all.
While Higgs, now 83, worked largely alone, Brout - who died in 2011 - and Englert combined their investigations in Belgium while another team - two Americans, Gerald Guralnik and Carl Hagen and Briton Tom Kibble - worked on the idea in London.
Brout and Englert published a paper on their research at the end of August 1964, and Higgs of the University of Edinburgh issued his own six weeks later, followed by Guralnik, Hagen and Kibble a month after that.
But as interest grew in the idea of what was initially called a "scalar" field and boson, the concept became popularly associated with Higgs. Exactly how this happened has never become clear, although there are several theories.
In Belgium it was dubbed the "Brout-Englert-Higgs" or BEH mechanism, a term used by Englert in a short speech to CERN researchers and students on Tuesday. Belgian newspapers have championed the idea of renaming it that way.
Others, including Hagen himself, have insisted that the work of his London team which was based at the British capital's Imperial College, should be recognized.
The issue has gained spice because it is likely that the Nobel committee will award its annual physics prize this autumn for discovery of the boson - and such an honor can, under current rules, go to no more than three living people.
CERN, and its U.S. counterpart Fermilab near Chicago, decline to take a position, either on the prize or a name change. "One thing is clear, the Nobel people have a helluva problem to resolve," said one senior CERN official.

PHOENIX -- Karen Perry's arms are always open for hugs.
Perry lost all three of her children in a plane crash in the Superstition Mountains last year on the night before Thanksgiving.
"It's been a difficult year. This month has been a very emotional month coming up on the anniversary. It has taught me a greater appreciation for everything in my life," said Perry.
Nine-year-old Morgan, 6-year-old Luke, and 8-year-old Logan will never be forgotten at Laurens Institute for Education, or L.I.F.E., a school for mentally disabled children.
Luke and Morgan attended classes at L.I.F.E..
There is now "Perry's Corner" filled with their pictures and "Perry's Library" packed with books.
Margaret Travillion, a co-owner of L.I.F.E., said she "walks through these halls and we're able to know in a small way the kids are here with us."
The three siblings loved reading.
Luke enjoyed his picture books.
"If he were watching us right now I know he would be opening every single one of those books," said Perry.
Perry said it means a lot to her that her children's memories live on.

Current Student-Athletes
ADHD/ADD and Banned Substances
Student-Athlete Employment Information
Yale University Athletics Compliance
Compliance is a shared responsibility - this means that everyone involved in athletics, including coaches, student-athletes, and boosters are responsible for ensuring that all applicable NCAA, Ivy, ECAC and Yale University regulations are followed. Please use this website as a resource for information regarding compliance and eligibility to participate in athletics at Yale.
In order to be eligible for practice and/or competition, student-athletes must be enrolled in at least three credits during any semester. If a student drops below three credits, he/she becomes immediately ineligible for practice and/or competition. Students are also required to meet NCAA continuing eligibility standards.
Retaining amateur status is required for participation in varsity athletics. Ivy League regulations require that a student-athlete be an amateur in all sports in order to compete in any sport. This differs from the NCAA regulations that only require a student-athlete to maintain amateur status in the sport(s) in which he/she competes.
Sports wagering is a very serious issue and can lead to the permanent loss of intercollegiate eligibility. A student-athlete will become ineligible if he/she:
- Provides information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition;
- Solicits a bet on any intercollegiate team;
- Accepts a bet on any team representing the institution;
- Solicits or accepts a bet on any intercollegiate competition for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) that has tangible value;
- Participates in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling.

Medical school ranked among best in primary care, researchUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Posted: Mar 13, 2013
In its annual rankings of the "Best Medical Schools," U.S. News & World Report has placed the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) onto its lists of "Best Medical Schools for Primary Care" and "Best Medical Schools for Research."
JABSOM's Primary Care program was ranked #66, tied with the University of California-Irvine, University of Connecticut, University of Florida and West Virginia University medical schools. In the Research category, JABSOM was ranked #82, tied with the medical schools at Creighton University and the Texas A&M Health Science Center.
The U.S. News & World Report annual rankings of professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law and medicine are based on both expert opinion and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students, according to the magazine. JABSOM has consistently ranked in the top 100.
For 2014, the magazine judged the University of North Carolina medical school to be first in Primary Care, with Harvard University atop the list in Research.

John Axford (1-3) gave up one hit and two walks in 1 1-3 innings to earn the win. Axford struck out two, including pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso with the bases loaded to end a ninth-inning threat.
Jim Henderson worked a perfect inning for his eighth save in eight chances.

As anyone who has been to the Sinatra Idol contest can tell you, Hoboken is chock-full of talent, from musicians to artists to writers.
The past few months have seen the publication of a number of Hoboken authors, including a new novel by Gregory Galloway, books of poems by Eliot Katz, a compilation of letters to the editor by local legend T. Weed, and a supernatural adventure by Alison F. Prince.
Gregory Galloway's 'The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand'
Gregory Galloway has lived in Hoboken for almost 14 years. His new book, "The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand," followed his intriguing award winning first novel "As Simple as Snow," published in 2005. "As Simple As Snow" focused on a high school mystery, and won a prestigious Alex Award, given to books that appeal to both adult and young adult readers.
The new book may fall into the same category. It focuses on Adam Strand, a seemingly indestructible boy who is suicidal but, ironically, cannot kill himself. He has attempted to commit suicide 39 times, hence the name of the book. After every attempt, using almost every method (he's tried just about every one in the book), he wakes up in a hospital bed physically unharmed, confused, and planning his next attempt.
Adam lives in a small, boring town, which is precisely his problem. He is not sad, or depressed, or angry; he is simply bored. Adam's unrelenting attempts at suicide are juxtaposed against his descriptions of a fairly normal and nurturing home life, a family who loves him, and friends he spends every day with.
Galloway presents this coming of age story with a dark humor and in a different way than maturation stories tend to be presented. Between falling in love with his best friend, drinking regularly, stealing shopping carts and throwing them out the backs of moving trucks, and, of course, attempting to kill himself, Adam discovers the tangled web of connections he's made with everyone in his life, and learns how important those connections are, and how difficult they are to break.
"The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand" was published by Dutton Books and is available in book stores as well as from a variety of online sources including Amazon and Barnes&Noble.
Eliot Katz's 'Unlocking the Exits' and 'Love, War, Fire, Wind': Looking Out from North America's Skull'
"Unlocking the Exits" and "Love, War, Fire, Wind" are books of poetry by Hoboken resident Eliot Katz. "Unlocking the Exits" is one of his older books of poetry, published in 1999. "Love, War, Fire, Wind" is slightly more recent, published in 2009.
"Unlocking the Exits" doesn't have a theme interlacing throughout the poems. Some are less than a page long, and some appear to have chapters. They range in subject from mundane everyday subjects and activities, such as "Ode to Car Keys" and "To the Vegetable Aisle" to long, intricate poems full of symbolism and glimpses at Katz's past and family.
"Love, War, Fire, Wind," with the subtitle of "Looking Out from North America's Skull," has more of a theme. Each poem is intertwined with some element of nature as well as glimpses of Katz's strong political beliefs. Each poem, and occasional short story, is accompanied by black and white drawings by William T. Ayton, etched out with thick black and grey lines, giving further glimpses into the meaning of the poetry.
"Unlocking the Exits" was published by Coffee House Press and "Love, War, Fire, and Wind" was published by Narcissus Press. They are both available in book stores as well as from a variety of online sources including Amazon and Coffee House Press.
T. Weed's 'More Rope'
"More Rope" is the sequel to "Enough Rope" and presents a compilation of letters to the editor by T. Weed and "other concerned citizens." T. Weed is an alias for an author who has sent letters to the editor of The Hudson Reporter for more than two decades, and who caused a few arguments, to say the least. Reading through the letters in this book, one can clearly see why.
T. Weed boldly writes about touchy subjects, such as scandals concerning Bill Clinton, situations in Israel, and shootings by Neo-Nazis, that were very sensitive during the decade that the letters were written, from 1996-2005.
T. Weed also includes letters by citizens responding to his letters, sometimes accusing him of not speaking English or being racist and writing letters of their own.
This book gives a look into some of the most controversial, heart-warming, and downright rude exchanges and letters published in The Hudson Reporter over the years.
"More Rope" was published by Free Radical Press and is available in book stores.
Alison F. Prince's 'In Shadows of Magic'
Alison F. Prince is a school psychologist at Clifton Public Schools and a Hoboken resident. Her novel "In Shadows of Magic," is her first.
Prince decided to write this book when she noticed the need for more "fun to read" novels that send positive messages about self esteem to adolescent and teenage girls.
"Self esteem is a major issue for many young girls today," Prince said. "Teens are subjected to peer pressure to look or behave a certain way. Many succumb to these influences, and lose themselves in the process. 'In Shadows of Magic' encourages teens to develop confidence in their authentic personalities, and not worry what others may think of them."
Contrary to the unhealthy themes of usual paranormal novels, the underlying message of her books is clean and engrossing.
The story contains elements of romance, action, adventure, magic, and a supernatural battle between good and evil.
"In Shadows of Magic" follows twin sisters who are swept into a supernatural world of beauty, power, and danger, and in the process find their friendship being torn apart by jealousy and sibling rivalry. They soon find that their only chance of surviving is to find themselves, as well as each other, once again.
"In Shadows of Magic" was published by Astraea Press and is available as an e-book on Amazon.com and on the Astraea Press website.

The Zunis have always had maps, in songs and prayers, painted on ceramics, and etched in stone. "Indigenous mapping" has become increasingly significant over the last two decades as a way to record and memorialize indigenous knowledge of the landscape.
The Zunis, rather than relying on Western cartography, asked artists within their community to paint representations of historically and culturally important places. The paintings are very rich in Zuni references, and many of the images reflect the activities and ideas of the Zuni religious societies, of which most of the artists are initiated members or even leaders.
The exhibition, produced in partnership with the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center in Zuni, New Mexico, also includes videography and a recording of the Zuni "Grand Canyon Song."

"I could not have asked for our fall to start off better," Brooks said. "I really liked the production all the way down from our seniors to our two freshmen."
With a field that included teams ranging from NCAA Division I to local NAIA programs, the Lady Bucs did not let up for a moment. In fact, the only scares of the weekend came when sophomore Olya Batsula (Minsk, Belarus) took a 6-3, 7-5 victory in the second round, and junior Masha Ilina (Kyiv, Ukraine) grabbed 7-5, 6-2 win in the third round. Otherwise, there were several 6-0 and 6-1 set victories on the tournament brackets.

By Irene Klotz
(Reuters) - A privately owned rocket built in partnership with NASA to haul cargo to the International Space Station blasted off on Sunday for a debut test flight from a new commercial spaceport in Virginia.
The 13-story Antares rocket, developed and flown by Orbital Sciences Corp, lifted off at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) from a Virginia-owned and operated launch pad at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.
"Beautiful view," said NASA launch commentator Kyle Herring as live video from the rocket, broadcast on NASA TV, showed the booster riding atop a bright plume of fire above the Atlantic Ocean.
Ten minutes later, the rocket deposited its payload - a 8,380-pound (3,800-kg) dummy capsule - into an orbit 158 miles above the planet, fulfilling the primary goal of the test flight.
Orbital Sciences and privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, hold NASA contracts worth a combined $3.5 billion to fly cargo to the space station, a $100 billion research outpost that flies about 250 miles above Earth.
NASA turned to commercial suppliers after retiring the space shuttles in 2011.
Flight controllers radioed news of Antares' successful debut to the station crew shortly after launch.
"Wahoo, that's super," replied station commander Chris Hadfield, with the Canadian Space Agency.
"Congratulations to all concerned. That bodes well for all of our futures," Hadfield said.
On its next flight, scheduled for late June or early July, another Antares rocket will carry a Cygnus cargo ship on a demonstration mission to the station.
California-based SpaceX completed three test flights and last year began delivering cargo to the station under its $1.6 billion contract.
The debut of Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket was delayed by the construction of its launch pad at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, located on the southern end of NASA's Wallops Island facility. Two launch attempts last week were canceled due to a last-minute technical problem followed by bad weather at the launch site.
"It's been a long slog," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said after the launch. "It's absolutely incredible what this team has done."
NASA's share of developing the Antares rocket and Cygnus capsule will total about $288 million upon successful completion of the second and final planned test flight.
Combined, NASA and Orbital Sciences spent about $300 million to develop Cygnus and slightly more than that to develop the rocket, Orbital Sciences Executive Vice President Frank Culbertson told reporters after the launch.
"As a company it was a huge risk to invest in this," he said. "But I think it's going to demonstrate a commercial capability that will pay off in the long run."
"With the right people pulling together and with great teammates, we were able to achieve this. We're real happy," Culbertson said.
NASA's contribution to SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo capsule development was $396 million.
Standing 130 feet tall and packing 740,000 pounds of thrust at liftoff, Antares was the largest rocket to fly from Wallops Island, which has been operating for 68 years as a launch site for smaller suborbital rockets, high-altitude balloons and research aircraft.
In addition to station cargo runs, Orbital Sciences has a separate contract to launch a NASA moon probe aboard a Minotaur 5 rocket from Wallops in August.

Passers-by, including two active-duty Army soldiers, help rescue mom, daughter in I-93 rollover
July 22. 2014 10:30PM
MANCHESTER — Several good Samaritans — including two active-duty Army soldiers — helped state troopers save a woman trapped inside a car that caught fire after rolling over on Interstate 293 Tuesday, state police said.
Troopers found Michelle Maslanka, 35, of Laconia, trapped inside her Subaru Outback, which was resting on its roof about 5:15 p.m., after the car veered across the northbound stretch of highway near exit 8, hit a rock ledge and rolled over.
The car caught fire. Several other motorists, including Army Capt. Robert Burnham of the 12th Civil Support Team in Concord and Lee Kershaw of the U.S. Army Recruiting Office in Manchester, helped extinguish the flames while Trooper Juan Infante broke a front window to get to Maslanka, whose 6-year-old daughter had already been rescued, according to a news release.
City firefighters were able to get Maslanka out of the car when they arrived shortly afterward. Maslanka and her daughter were taken to Elliot Hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee said Thursday that he's "stunned and dismayed" to learn that DNA tests revealed he is not the father of a woman with whom he had an affectionate Twitter exchange this year.
In February, tweets between Cohen and Victoria Brink, a 24-year-old Texas woman, attracted public attention during the president's State of the Union address. Soon after, Cohen revealed that he was Brink's father. He said he'd learned about the relationship three years earlier.
But on Thursday, CNN reported that DNA tests showed Cohen is not her father.
"I was stunned and dismayed when DNA tests disproved what Victoria and I believed about our relationship," Cohen said in a Thursday statement. "I still love Victoria, hold dear the time I have shared with her, and hope to continue to be a part of her life.
"It's been a roller coaster ride these last three and a half years from which I have learned something about parenting and some more about love, life, and heartache."
Brink is the daughter of Texas criminal defense lawyer Cynthia White Sinatra, who ran for Congress in 2006 against Ron Paul. Cohen described his relationship with Sinatra as longtime friends. Texas oil executive John Brink raised Victoria Brink.
CNN reported Thursday that it obtained DNA from John Brink, Victoria Brink and Cohen for tests, and that results showed Cohen wasn't her father.
Cohen's office said that he also submitted DNA to determine paternity independent of the CNN report.
Cohen, who has never been married, said in February that he decided to publicly acknowledge Brink as his daughter after bloggers and the media tried to make exchanges during the State of the Union appear salacious. Cohen's message to Brink included a Twitter abbreviation for "I love you."
After the tweets began to attract public attention and commentary, an aide to the 64-year-old Memphis Democrat said he had accidentally exchanged a couple of public tweets with a woman who was the daughter of a friend but removed them when he realized they weren't private.
One was sent during the speech and another was sent the next day, in response to her tweet "@RepCohen just saw you on tv!"
Following the tweets, the Tennessee Republican Party's executive director issued a news release comparing Cohen to former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned about two years ago after tweeting lewd pictures of himself. Weiner initially claimed a hacker had posted a lewd photo to his Twitter account.
After announcing that Brink was his daughter, Cohen said the episode should be a lesson "not to jump to conclusions."
