More: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...160042007.htmlThe St. Louis Blues were a dynamic defensive team for Coach Ken Hitchcock last season. Their offense? Less than dynamic, finishing 21st in the NHL with 206 goals.
That's why Vladimir Tarasenko's decision for next season was so highly anticipated. Drafted 16th overall in the 2010 NHL Draft, the 20 year old notched 47 points in 54 games this season in the KHL and scored 31 points in 20 world junior championship games between 2009-11.
His decision? Picking the Blues over the KHL, and coming over to the NHL beginning next season. From STLToday.com and Jeremy Rutherford, talking with Blues GM Doug Armstrong:

Extended through September 2 at the Central Square Theater, Car Talk: The Musical!!! is generating a lot of buzz around greater Boston. But insiders know that the production originated at Suffolk and put through its paces at the University's new Modern Theatre.
Inspired by the legendary National Public Radio show, Car Talk, the musical was written and directed by Suffolk professor Wesley Savick. The Suffolk Theatre Department premiered a student version of the show to sold-out audiences and great acclaim in March of 2011.
Savick describes the play as "an unlikely marriage between Broadway musical and automotive advice." He is also directing the Central Square production.
"I'm glad to see my play, as well as members of the original Suffolk production, move on to professional production," says Savick.
Tiffany Chen '12, who originated the role of Miata C. LaChassis while a student at Suffolk, will reprise the role in the Central Square production.
In the musical, the hapless middle-aged owner of a terminally ill '93 Kia, Rusty Fenders, attempts to salvage happiness from the junkyard of his life. In the process, he collides with his ruthless garage boss Beaulah Gasket, his unrequited office romance Sheila, and the red-hot fantasy car Miata C. LaChassis. The show features the cameo voice-overs of Tom and Ray Magliozzi—otherwise known as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers"—the witty co-hosts of the popular NPR show. But ultimately, this is a show about romance, not oil changes, with original songs, automotive jokes, and dancing.
Other Suffolk ties to the Central Square production include pianist Scott Nicholas, music director of the show, who teaches piano and coaches music theatre at the University. Ryan Began '11 is the show's assistant director and Alycia Marucci '11 is assistant stage manager. Cathy Carr Kelly, MBA '91, is executive director of the Central Square Theater, a post she's held for more than five years.
Suffolk University produced the Central Square Theater production in collaboration with the Underground Railway Theater, where Jim Kaufman, managing director of the Suffolk theatre Department and Modern Theatre, is a board member.
Suffolk's support of the show is just one of many ways the University links students to professional theatre and the process of developing new musicals.
Car Talk: The Musical!!! -- originally scheduled to run in Cambridge through mid-August -- has been extended due to popular demand through September 2. Buy tickets.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Ecuador is analyzing an asylum request from National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, wanted for revealed classified U.S. secrets, an Ecuadorian minister said Monday.
"We are analyzing it with a lot of responsibility," Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters through a translator at a hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam.
He says the asylum request "has to do with freedom of expression and with the security of citizens around the world."
Patino spoke briefly to reporters on his way to a meeting with Vietnam's foreign minister. He did not say how long it would take Ecuador to decide.
Snowden was on a flight from Hong Kong that arrived in Moscow Sunday and was booked on a flight to Cuba Monday, the Russian news agencies ITAR-Tass and Interfax reported, citing unnamed airline officials.
Anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said Snowden was bound for Ecuador "via a safe route for the purposes of asylum, and is being escorted by diplomats and legal advisers from WikiLeaks." The organization's founder Julian Assange, was granted asylum by Ecuador last year and has been staying at the country's embassy in the United Kingdom.
The Russian reports said a plane carrying him arrived in Moscow on Sunday and he was booked on a flight to Cuba on Monday. The reports cited unnamed airline officials and said he intended to travel from Cuba to Caracas, Venezuela. There was also speculation that he might try to reach Ecuador.
"There are some governments that act more upon their own interests, but we do not," Patino said when asked if he was concerned about potentially damaging Ecuador's relationship with the United States. "We act upon our principles."
"We take care of human rights of the people," he added.
Patino will hold a news conference Monday evening in Hanoi.
Snowden had been in hiding in Hong Kong for several weeks after he revealed information on the highly classified spy programs. WikiLeaks said it was providing legal help to Snowden at his request and that he was being escorted by diplomats and legal advisers from the group.
Assange has spent a year inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning about sex crime allegations. He told the Sydney Morning Herald that his organization is in a position to help because it has expertise in international asylum and extradition law.

WW South slips through, Wheaton N. advances individually
The 303 Wheaton North's boys golf team shot Tuesday at the Class 3A York regional would have won several other regionals.
"Not here, not today," Falcons coach Mike Pribaz said.
Not with two of the state's top teams, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Twp., locking down the top two spots at Maple Meadows Golf Course in Wood Dale, leaving just one spot for another team qualifier to Monday's Naperville Central sectional. That third spot went to the Falcons' cross-town rival, Wheaton Warrenville South, which earned the full ride to the sectional with a 293.
"In a very tough, competitive regional we're very happy and proud to have played so well and advance as a team," Tigers coach Jimmy Selleck said. "We had a plan today and we executed it, so hats off to the boys for playing as a team and working so well together and finishing so well."
Will Denman led the Tigers with a 68, shooting 34s on the front and back nines, saying he "was firing on all cylinders."
"He's a real steady golfer," Selleck said of his senior. "He works incredibly hard at his game. This was bound to happen sooner or later. We've seen signs along the way, and he's a great teammate. Today he put it together well. He played super well."
"I just hit a bunch of fairways and I was finding pins all day," Denman added. "I was making putts. That's about it."
It was a strong turnaround for the Tigers, who placed third at last week's DuPage Valley Conference tournament.
"We analyzed our performance and we found out that we came up short with respect to our checklist, so we had to focus on our growth areas, and today we did that," Selleck said. "It's a result of the guys working together, working for their team and working for something for their team and school. Yeah, we're really happy today."
Wheaton North, which won the DVC tournament last week for the first time in 30 years, didn't have as much to celebrate at Maple Meadows.
"We knew coming in we had to be under 300 with the teams here," Pribaz said. "This is arguably the toughest regional in the state, and those numbers show it.
"All of our guys will tell you they could have done a little better ... but we did not get it done together as a team. We've been successful as a team this year, and as a team it's not the fault of one guy. It's all of us together. We needed to do better, and we just didn't get it done today."
Still, five Falcons, all juniors, are moving on as individuals: Caleb Weise and Michael Suazo each shot a 75, Ben Shadid shot a 76, Connor Morency added a 77 and Charlie Vasbinder a 78.
"They'll root for each other all the way down" to state," Pribaz said.
Hinsdale Central won the regional with a 283 behind Drew Shepherd's 68. Lyons Twp. took second with a 286, Matt Walsh earning medalist honors with a 67. Glenbard West senior Will Hanson qualified with a 76. York also qualified four individuals.

Besan ki barfi is sweet like candy and has a fudge like consistency. Made with roasted Besan, butter and sugar, it is then flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts. Besan Burfi can be served any time of the day. In an Indian household, Burfies are served as cookies or chocolate.
Recipe will make 18 to 24 pieces of Burfi.
- 1 cup besan, gram flour
- 2 tablespoons sooji, semolina
- 1/4 cup coarsely ground almond powder
- 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or ghee
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 green cardamoms– shelled and seeds crushed
- Approx. 1 tablespoon pistachios crushed for garnishing
- Grease 8" flat plate and set aside.
- In a bowl mix besan and semolina, add about 3 tablespoons of butter mix it well by rubbing with fingers. Mix will become grainy; Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Put rest of the butter in frying pan over medium heat; add besan mix and roast for about 4-5 minutes stirring continuously basen will lightly change the color.
- Add almonds and roast stirring continuously until the color has change to deep golden brown and also start to smell of the roasted basen, this should take another 6-7 minutes. Turn off the heat. We add the almonds later otherwise almonds will be over roasted.
- In a saucepan, boil the sugar and water together over medium heat until syrup is little less then 1 thread or 205 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- Mix the syrup with flour mixture mix well and pore over greased plate.
- Sprinkle the sliced pistachios evenly over the top to garnish.
- Let Burfi cool it takes about 1 hours and cut into 1" squares.
- If syrup is not right consistency Burfi can become very soft or very dry, in any case it is easy to fix.
- Burfi is too soft: add little more almond powder or coconut powder. May be make them in ladoo a ball shape little smaller then golf ball and roll them in almond or coconut powder.
- Burfi is very dry: sprinkle hot water as needed about 2-3 tablespoons over besan and mix it.

Nice hotel, very quiet, with friendly staff. Our room was 3 steps far from the beach, was clean and quiet. The only remark to do is the air conditioning flowing directly on the beds.

I reserved for 3 person (2 adult+1 child) with breakfast included but I had to pay one breakfast every day as not included.

Very relaxing resort if you want to do nothing at all, no shops around so be prepared to laze around on the beach all day. Staff at the resort were great. The garden view rooms were very old and need an update. I recommend an upgrade to the beach bungalows.

Wir hatten einen Double Room mit Garden View Bungalow für 1600 Baht die Nacht ohne Frühstück (bei dem momentanen schlechten Wechselkurses des Euros recht teuer). Der Bungalow hat Aircon , einen kleinen Kühlschrank und warmes Wasser. Das Bad leider kein Fenster, somit etwas sparkig/schimmelig und auch nicht gerade sehr sauber. Der Bungalow ist recht klein und nicht mehr der neueste, aber da man die meist nur die Zeit zum Schlafen dort verbringt, völlig okay. Der Bungalow wird nicht vom Personal gereinigt, nur auf Nachfrage. Das Personal im Restaurant ist sehr freundlich und kinderlieb, abgesehen vom Besitzer. Das Nice Beach Resort liegt an einem sehr schönen Strandabschnitt, welcher bestens für Kinder geeignet ist, viel Schatten und flaches klares Wasser. Wir fanden die Woche dort sehr schön, würden uns aber das nächste Mal wahrscheinlich einen anderen Bungalow am Strand suchen mit einem besseren Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Lovely place situated right on beach in the middle of Thong Nai Pan YAI. Fabulous pretty beach although only one boat a day leaving/arriving to the southern beaches but if you intend on staying there or only venturing to close by beaches via taxi boat then the one ferry boat drop off is great as it keeps the beach from being too crowded and protects the serenity of the place. Great breakfasts at Nice Beach Resort and staff all very helpful and friendly. Wifi reaches rooms too so good service as not all resorts on the beach have this. Room service you have to request it is not done automatically. Highly recommended especially if you stay in air con beach from bungalow as I did fr a treat! Enjoy!

Beautiful !!! Everybody goas to Koh Phangan just for the full moon but its an amazing island. The little bungalows are perfect right front of the beach, clean and the matress is good also. The restaurant of the Resort is really good aswell and not that expensive normal prices for thailand The staff is very friendly and respectfull... To reach the beach by taxi is a bit expensive (for thailand again), the price is high because is not a very developed area in Koh Phangan you will see on your way. I recommend this site, the beach is amazing a little paradise !!!!

Liberty Art Summer Frocks
Added Jun 27, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
Alison and her niece Louisa had a ball posing in their summer dresses— and we bet many mothers out there may agree that it's pretty tough to capture a photograph of a 1 1/2 year-old who is constantly on the move! There was a lot of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" being sung to get Lulu to pause, but the dress fit like a dream (we used the smallest size) and works well with brightly colored bloomers.
The gorgeous printed cotton is Kaffe Fassett for Liberty Art Fabrics. We're in love!
Material Notes
Women's Dress: Cotton, 145 cm (57 in) wide: 1.20 m (1 3/8 yds) for all sizes. Lining fabric, 140 cm (55 in) wide: 0.50 m (5/8 yd). 1 invisible zip, 60 cm (24 ins) long.
Girl's Dress: Cotton: 145 cm (57 in) wide 0.95 – 1.00 – 1.00 – 1.05 – 1.05 m (1 1/8 – 1 1/8 – 1 1/8 – 1 1/4 – 1 1/4 yds).

I've bought the pattern and have some perfect cotton fabric, but as the pattern says it is designed for a knit fabric, is there anything different about making it in woven fabric?

Meizitang ® is also known as Botanical Slimming Soft Gel. Meizitang adopts many kinds of natural plants that possess the function of slimming and keeping nice figure. These plants, such as nice slimming grass, jobstears, tarragon, psyllium shell, hoof bamboo shoot, lotus and etc, are carefully extracted and purified with modern advanced technology for Meizitang soft gel whose function theory is as follows:
Restrains the activity of lipase in stomach and intestinal canal to enable the fat in the taken food not to be absorbed by the body. This effect is shown in the form of defecate with fat (oil) nature, which means people could excrete the equal quantity of fat as that has been taken.
Improves the metabolism and basic metabolism ratio (BMR) of fat, which means to increase the consumption of human body energy. The body fat would be broken up into heat, carbon dioxide and water. Meizitang Botanical Slimming Soft Gel could not only reduce the redundant fat, but could also supplement many kinds of amino acid and trace element such as copper, iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, zinc and selenium. In the mean while, it can activate body cells and make balance over body microcirculation while eliminating the long-term accumulated toxicity elements. Thus it possesses the unique slimming, toxicity-eliminating and fat-adjusting function.

First Time: At the local sledding hill and finding out metal edges aren't very forgiving and trying to learn to go straight down the hill.
Is snowboarding ready for the Olympics? Yeah. I don't know if Olympics are ready for snowboarding, unfortunately too much of snowboarding is judged on halfpipe. Freeriding is what it really should be judged on, I think slopestyle would be a good addition.
If you didn't snowboard what would you be doing right now? Skateboarding or be in school, maybe for making movies, acting.
What do you do when you're not snowboarding? Skate, hang out with friends and my girlfriend, not partying.
Who most influences your style? I don't think anyone influences your style. I think that happens when your younger. I just learn my tricks and they come about naturally. They should influence your riding.
Who do you ride with the most? I ride mostly with Chris Bombeck, Pete Iverson, Scott Lethard, Shanendoah Sampson.
If you were going on a trip and could only take five things with you (other than a change of clothes and your snowboard) what would those things be? Skateboard, music, my girlfriend, another friend, another friend–share the wealth.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The head of fast-growing Qatar Airways says there are no immediate plans to launch a budget airline to compete with Dubai's expanding low-cost carrier.
Instead, CEO Akbar al-Baker says Qatar Airways will concentrate on enlarging its global network as part of rivalries with Gulf carriers Emirates and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways.
Al-Baker is quoted Saturday by the Dubai-based Khaleej Times as saying there are no current plans to create a budget airline to challenge the growing market share of government-backed flydubai, which began service in 2009 and now serves more than 50 destinations.
But al-Baker said Qatar Airways keeps "options open" on all future plans.
Al-Baker made the comments earlier this week in Seattle after he took delivery of the airline's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Alternaria leaf blight, the California carrot industry's most damaging foliar disease, already exists in local fields, while its look-alike, bacterial leaf blight, is likely spread by seed, according to studies commissioned by the California Fresh Carrot Advisory Board.
Robert Gilbertson, plant pathologist at the University of California, Davis and a member of the investigating team, detailed the findings at the board's recent research symposium at Bakersfield.
Noting that incidence of Alternaria leaf blight in California was low to moderate in 2002, he said the similarity of types detected in California fields, plus the absence of it in seed from Oregon, suggests local sources.
Alternaria, a common disease during warm and rainy fall periods, causes heavy losses due to defoliation as well as weakened tops that cause many carrots to be left in the field after mechanical harvesting.
Gilbertson said sophisticated molecular tests distinguished the Xanthomonas bacterium, the cause of bacterial leaf blight, from the Alternaria dauci fungus responsible for Alternaria leaf blight. Symptoms of the two are similar and often require a trained eye to differentiate.
DNA-extraction test kits are being used to identify samples of Xanthomonas from leaves and seed lots more rapidly than with previous tissue methods. Improvements will enable even coated seed to be assayed quickly for the bacterium.
"Bacterial leaf blight is very common in the Oregon seed-producing areas, with all three Xanthomonas types there in similar amounts," he said.
Water treatment
While some progress has been made in removing the bacterium with hot water treatments of Oregon seed destined for California fields, he said they must be continued and verified with testing afterward.
Even though seed may come from fields that may show few symptoms of the disease, seed from them can still have heavy concentrations of disease inoculum, he added. Inoculum already in California fields provides additional disease pressure. Seed samples from cooperating growers will be analyzed and evaluated with disease pressure in commercial fields this season.
In addition to use of pathogen-free seed, other management steps are timely fungicide or bactericide application, and field sanitation.
Beyond initial inoculum in fields and contaminated seed, other possible sources are windborne spores and debris from neighboring fields, carrot residue on field equipment, volunteers, and wild carrot.
The continuing project is being done with the goal of defining how the disease spreads and then developing an improved control strategy.
Collaborating with Gilbertson are plant pathologist Mike Davis, postdoctoral researcher Xiang Meng, both of UC, Davis, and Joe Nunez, Kern County farm advisor.
Mustard covers
In reporting on a separate board-funded project to find controls for cavity spot, Davis said he is evaluating blends of white and brown mustard cover crops incorporated in the soil as a biofumigant.
Cavity spot is root damage caused by at least two Pythium species, although some research indicates nutritional deficiencies and insect damage can also bring it on. Various fungicides have with specific action can reduce Pythium.
The disease is associated with continuous carrot production in the same fields, and once it becomes established it persists for years. The amount of damage in an infested field varies from year to year and is also linked to time of planting.
The brassica cover crops, Davis said, contain compounds known as glucosynalates, which when turned under break down into thyocyanates that have a toxic effect equal to Vapam on microorganisms.
"In fact," he said, "some studies show thyocyanates have greater activity than Vapam, although they are active for only a few hours."
The practice is to let the mustards grow in the fall until they start to flower and then disk them under. The organic matter, some 4 tons of dry weight to the acre, from the mustards also promotes microbial activity antagonistic to the Pythium in the following crop of carrots.
Davis said he was not able to demonstrate an immediate reduction in Pythium in soil analyses after the incorporation of brassicas, although he added that some Pythium species, such as P. sulcatum, are more susceptible to thyocyanates than others.
Several vegetable crops host P. sulcatum and according to improved assays in recent years, it is the species most commonly associated with cavity spot of carrots in California.
"We will have to plant carrots this season and see what we get," he said.
Meanwhile, he continues to search for alternatives to Ridomil Gold for cavity spot control. "The carrot industry is at risk since cavity spot management in California is currently dependent on Ridomil alone," he said, adding that multiple isolates of Pythium species have been found to be strongly resistant to the fungicide. He is testing several materials, including Thiram, long used on cotton and vegetable seeds, this season.

The late 1990s tech boom left the national office market chock-full of tenants, but innovations achieved during that hasty expansion aren't yielding the same results these days. Technology now appears to be curtailing demand as fewer tenants feel the need to aggressively lease expansion space — the heady formula that knocked national office vacancy down around about 12% by 2000.
"Mobile workers are a big part of this, but increased productivity is also a factor that allows many companies to make do with less space than they needed in the last cycle," says Prentice Knight, CEO of Atlanta-based corporate real estate trade group CoreNet Global.
An analysis by Property & Portfolio Research and Moody's Economy.com projects mediocre office-using job growth in key metro markets through 2009. The baseline comparison between cumulative office-using job growth from the previous expansion (1996 to 1999) and the current one (midyear 2006 through the end of first-quarter 2009) projects that New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco will post the slowest job growth over the next three years.
Technology isn't the only culprit, either: PPR projects that many office tenants in expensive markets like New York and Boston will increasingly relocate staff members into lower-cost areas such as Atlanta, Houston and Dallas.
The quantity and quality of office space is changing. During the past 15 years, the average amount of office space has shrunk by roughly 14 sq. ft. per worker. It stood at 202 sq. ft. by mid-year 2004, reports Torto Wheaton Research. That average is expected to drop as low as 195 sq. ft. by 2007.
Companies like Richmond, Va.-based credit card issuer Capital One, which launched a pilot program in 2004 to boost employee mobility by altering the company's work environment, are partly responsible for this trend. Lower occupancy costs are a big part of the aggressive program, which relies on wireless Internet connections, video conferencing and instant messaging technology (among other measures) to connect workers.
The expression "office building" will go away, says Larry Ebert, Capital One's vice president of corporate real estate. The technology allows staffers to work without fixed desks, so the company can support as many as 1,200 people in a 600-seat office building. It works because lounges and conference rooms aren't cordoned off as cubicle farms.
If the first quarter was any indication, however, office-using demand isn't dire. The market tightened through the first quarter with vacancy falling 60 basis points to 14.1% at the end of March, the largest quarterly vacancy decline in six years, says real estate research firm Reis Inc. Effective rents also jumped 2% in that time.
That first quarter performance resonated with Los Angeles-based office landlord Zaya Younan, who believes that many office tenants have squeezed so much efficiency out of their space that they are left with only one alternative: expand.
"Many companies are giving their employees more than one computer monitor in their office, which I believe will increase the amount of space per worker," says Younan, who owns 5.1 million sq. ft. of Class-A office space.
Despite data that shows office workers using less space, Younan insists that technology will actually boost office demand in coming years. Even if he's right, it's clearly playing a vital role in how end users occupy space.

Vine Weeds of Missouri
Fred Fishel and Andy Kendig
Department of Agronomy
Vine weeds are particularly troublesome for many reasons. Their aggressive growth makes timely control with herbicides difficult. Desirable vegetation and wildlife habitat are choked out by their sprawling growth habit. Harvesting efficiency is hindered in agronomic settings because they twine around crop plants. Many of these weeds with a vinelike growth habit are perennials capable of reproducing by seed and vegetative structures, such as rhizomes and vast rootstocks. Some vine weeds even have toxic properties.
Some of these weeds are introduced species that have spread to Missouri from other states. Some are considered to be noxious in Missouri and other states.
These plants have subtle characteristics that separate them from their close relatives or other plants that are similar in physical appearance. Correct identification of vines makes control recommendations more effective because herbicides, application rates and size restrictions can be properly matched.
Use the taxonomic key to identify a suspect vine by the plant's physical features. Then, consult the plant description section for photographs and information about the weed.
This publication is a general reference and does not contain all vines that you may encounter in Missouri. If you need assistance in identifying a weed, submit a sample through your local MU Extension center to the MU Diagnostic Clinic, http://plantclinic.missouri.edu.
Control of vine weeds
The key to control of annual vine weeds is timely application of an appropriate herbicide to small, actively growing weeds. Many annual vines can become difficult to control when they have grown more than 2 inches long. For example, Glyphosate (Roundup-type) herbicides are somewhat weak against morningglory species.
This guide has the latest control recommendations in crop settings.
The key to control of perennial vines is application of systemic herbicides when plants are fully leaved and are sending sugars down to root systems in preparation for winter. This downward movement of sugars helps carry the herbicides into the root system.
A common mistake is applying herbicides too early when relatively few weeds are present or when food reserves are moving upward from the roots. In this case, the leaf area limits the amount of herbicide that enters the plant, or the upward movement of sugars limits movement of the herbicides into the roots.
Conversely, herbicides are sometimes applied too late when the aboveground parts of the plant have stopped active growth. The ideal time to apply herbicides to perennial weeds is usually immediately after bloom. For many weeds, this corresponds to late summer to early fall.
With easier-to-control perennials, timing is less critical, and good results can be obtained with relatively few herbicide applications. Difficult perennials require repeated herbicide applications over many years.
In row crops, intensive tillage tends to disrupt perennial weeds; moderate tillage tends to help spread perennial weeds; and no tillage favors perennial growth but will actually limit spread. Tillage implements can break roots and rhizomes and drag them to new locations where they can establish new patches of the particular weed.
Generally, products in which 2,4-D is the only active ingredient can provide good control of easier-to-control perennials. However, the more expensive brush killers, containing dicamba (Banvel, Clarity and others), picloram (Tordon) and triclopyr (Crossbow), are needed for the more difficult species. Many mixtures are available.
Glyphosate provides excellent control of some perennial weeds, but it is weaker on others. Be sure to read the product labels and to match herbicides to the vine species.
In row crops, dicamba-based herbicides (Banvel, Clarity and others) typically provide the best control of difficult perennials. Unfortunately, dicamba is not registered for preharvest use in soybean or cotton; however, it is registered for preharvest application in corn.
Perennial control recommendations usually call for high herbicide application rates that result in expensive treatments. It is rarely economical to treat entire fields for difficult perennials, especially since single applications are unlikely to provide complete control.
In most cases, spot applications should be made if possible. Products in which 2,4-D is the only active ingredient can provide excellent control of the easier-to-control annuals.
Control of perennial vines in agronomic crops is difficult. Long-term studies indicate that glyphosate in Roundup Ready crops will provide some perennial suppression; however, the major limitation is that glyphosate must be applied early for adequate control of annuals. Typically, those applications are too early for optimal perennial control. Dicamba is registered for preharvest and postharvest applications in corn (and grain sorghum), and you should consider planting these crops if perennials are a problem.
Before using any herbicide
Read and follow directions on the label accompanying that product. Reference to specific trade names does not imply endorsement by MU; discrimination is not intended against similar products.

If there's been another tragic mass shooting, there must be pundits all over the mediasphere ranting for or against tighter controls on guns. The arguments follow a predictable course: Advocates point out that gun violence in the United States, presumably because of its laws granting easy access to firearms, is far more common than in more restrictive countries, particularly in Europe. Opponents fire back that criminals will break the law to obtain guns if they want them -- after all, they're criminals, who feel no apparent remorse about mass slaughter. And anyway, if more people carried guns, they could take out the shooters before the body count rose.
The latter argument is a little hard to make with a straight face in the case of Friday's shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.; I doubt even National Rifle Assn. chief Wayne LaPierre would claim that arming 6-year-olds or their teachers is a good idea. Regardless, the liberal blogosphere will scream for action, politicians will promise to take it, and then they'll misplace that gun control bill on the way to cut the ribbon for a new community center in their districts.
President Obama is a master at this kind of bait-and-switch tactic, regularly calling for a national conversation on gun violence in the wake of mass killings, or touting his support for a ban on assault rifles, without doing anything whatsoever to advance these causes. In a tearful news conference Friday, he promised to take "meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." And what action would that be? Obama knows that gun control is a political nonstarter. Advocates might be hoping he'll be more courageous now that he has won a second term, but if history is a guide, he will save his political capital for fights he can win, such as immigration reform, and dump issues that fire up conservative opposition, such as climate controls and, yes, gun control. Smart politician. Disappointing leader.

No more state aid, city upgrades push tax bill higher
Council planning nearly $2 million sewer upgrade.
Property owners will pay more to support city services this year.
In the proposed 2011-12 budget, which is poised to rise nearly 24%, about $2 million in sewer improvements is planned.
That, combined with elimination of state aid and less municipal equalization funds, means an 11.4% tax request increase.
A 3.8% rise in valuation, from $151,443,835 to $157,316,724, also contributes to the tax increase if valuation on homes increases.
A proposed levy of .33165 means taxes on a home valued at $100,000 will rise to $332 compared to $309 last year if valuation doesn't increase.
"The council felt we couldn't continue without cutting services so members raised the levy to make up for the loss in state aid," said city administrator Bruce Clymer, noting that the levy hasn't changed in several years and even dropped 3% in 2008.
Sewer improvements expected to cost $2 million is a large part of the proposed $18.3 million budget which rises 23.7% over the current budget.
Clymer said city officials plan to reline and replace parts of the city's aging sewer system.
Water improvements carry a $642,330 price tag and a paving project, on Lake Avenue from the railroad tracks south to Fourth Street, is projected to cost $430,000.
No dollars to rehabilitate Lake Helen are budgeted, Clymer said, because water samples that are being taken need to be evaluated for a year.
If city officials can show lake water is impaired, he said federal and state funding chances are better.
Residents will likely see an increase on electric bills next year because of increasing costs for Nebraska Public Power District which supplies the city's wholesale power.
Clymer said wholesale power, which NPPD sells to the city, is slated to rise nearly 7%.
"A lot of new federal regulations that hit NPPD get passed on to us," he said. "The cost of energy will continue to rise."
Residents could be looking at a proposed increase of 6.5% in electrical rates and a 3% rise in water rates.
Council members will decide what action to take in January of 2012.
No increase in trash-hauling bills is expected, he said.
As in any large organization, salaries and benefits are a big part of the budget and the city is no exception with an estimated $1,913,707 earmarked to pay city employees compared to $1,845,303 this year.
The Gothenburg Airport Authority's levy, although separate from the city budget is added to the city's to determine if the 45 cents per $100 valuation lid is met.
Authority board members have requested $41,905 for the coming year.
Highlights of the budget, which can be viewed at city hall, are listed below.
The council will have public hearings on the budget and tax request at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, in city council chambers.

Manchester bed bug outbreak is hard to killBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 29. 2013 9:40PM
MANCHESTER — The Henry J. Pariseau high-rise on the West Side this month experienced a "flare-up" of blood-sucking bed bugs involving more than a dozen units, according to a city official.
"I think sometime last week we did the whole building, the inspections, because we were getting some reports, there seems to be a flare-up and we want to quell those as soon as we can," said Dick Dunfey, executive director of the Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority, which manages the building.
Dunfey said 13 units were identified with bed bugs in the 100-unit high-rise, which houses elderly and disabled residents at 55 Amory St. Half of the affected units were treated for the bugs with the remaining units to be handled after Thanksgiving.
"We got reports of a few units, so we had a canine inspection of the entire building," Dunfey said.
Pest control, he said, is dealing with bed bugs at two other MHRA high-rises: eight units at the Thomas B. O'Malley Apartments, 259 Chestnut St., and 12 apartments at the Christo Kalivas Apartments, 175 Chestnut St.
"Those numbers we're treating or following up on (to ensure) that they're completely eradicated," Dunfey said.
The housing authority manages about 1,400 housing units, and Dunfey said those in high-rise buildings are more susceptible to getting bed bugs than garden-style units because people are living in closer proximity.
Susan LaBrie, whose friend lives in the Pariseau building, said MHRA deals with the problem apartment by apartment rather than treating the entire building.
"The whole building is infested," LaBrie said.
LaBrie said her friend, who didn't want to be named, "saw them coming out of the walls."
Dunfey said treating the entire building isn't how it's done.
"That would be a tremendous, exorbitant cost if you treated the whole building if you had one unit with bed bugs," he said. "Bed bug problems, they don't go away. You can't eradicate them. You can eliminate them temporarily."
Dunfey said it cost around $850 to heat treat each unit.
The MHRA spent $119,600 last fiscal year and about $230,000 the previous year, he said, adding that the housing authority hired a full-time pest control technician who's dealing with bed bugs full time.
"Some units have had repeat treatments," Dunfey said. "That's extremely common everywhere."
Tim Soucy, the city's public health director, said his office averages five to 10 calls a week from people living in triple deckers to high-rise buildings reporting suspected bed bugs.
Soucy said the type of building shouldn't necessarily increase the chances of infestation.
"Usually when you have a high rise, it's important to look at units adjacent, above and below if you're trying to do any remediation," Soucy said.
Bed bugs don't carry diseases but can lead to health problems for people who are bitten, according to Soucy.
"If you keep scratching, you have an increased risk of infection," Soucy said. "The infection is not coming from the bite itself. It's coming from the continuing scratching."
Soucy said bed bugs like to congregate in couches and mattresses because that's where they can tap humans for their blood.
Dunfey said MHRA offers to heat treat people's couches and also provides special mattress covers, but it doesn't offer free furniture replacement.
"We couldn't have a bed bug court — who gets stuff and who doesn't — because it be impossible to do that, never mind the cost," Dunfey said.

Breakaways versus sprinters
A short stage follows the rest day as the race continues south through the Cévennes. Although rolling, there are no outstanding difficulties on today's route and that should benefit the sprinters. One factor that might come into play is the intense heat that can affect this region. Another might be the growing desire for teams that have not made an impact so far to do so on one of the two remaining stages before the race reaches the Pyrenees. Regardless of the heat of both the day and the competition, this should be a day dominated by the green jersey contenders.

December 6, 2007
East Carolina University's College of Nursing announced today its first endowed distinguished professorship named in honor of former university Chancellor Emeritus Richard R. Eakin.
ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard also announced that the ECU Board of Trustees voted last week to recognize Dr. Eakin with chancellor emeritus status.
"There is none more deserving," Dr. Ballard said. Eakin served as ECU chancellor from 1987 to 2001. During that time, the university grew by 5,000 students, achieved doctoral status and saw the passage of a bond referendum responsible for the construction of the new Health Sciences Building, home to the College of Nursing.
The $1 million endowment in the ECU College of Nursing is made possible by a $667,000 challenge grant from the C.D. Spangler Foundation Inc. and $333,000 in state matching funds from the Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund, created by the N.C. General Assembly in 1985.
The Spangler Foundation committed $6.9 million to fund an endowed distinguished professorship at each of the 16 University of North Carolina institutions in 2007. Endowed professorships range from $500,000 to $1 million. Eligible disciplines include high-need fields of education, engineering, nursing and the traditional arts and sciences. The Spangler Foundation named the professorships.
Ballard thanked the Spangler Foundation and lauded the College of Nursing, its leadership and distance education programs and its role in providing new nurse graduates to North Carolina's workforce.
Dr. Phyllis Horns, former dean of the College of Nursing who now serves as interim vice chancellor for health sciences and interim dean of the Brody School of Medicine, said Eakin hired her as dean of nursing and she has always appreciated his support.
"Dick was instrumental in getting the Ph.D. program in nursing. He was also chancellor when we got the nurse midwifery program, which is the only one in the state," Horns said. Eakins was instrumental in the expansion of the Rivers Building, which helped alleviate overcrowding in nursing's former location, and in the development of the Health Sciences Building, she said.
"His chancellorship has meant a lot to this university and the College of Nursing," Horns said. "What we do with this professorship will reflect the high standards you've set."
The Richard R. Eakin Distinguished Professorship will support the recruitment of a nurse scientist who has a history of funded research in an area that addresses the health needs of eastern North Carolinians.
Dr. Sylvia Brown, acting dean of the College of Nursing, thanked the Spangler Foundation and noted that the college has worked many years to develop an endowed professorship.
"We hope to attract an outstanding scholar and researcher," Brown said. "Ultimately, the students will reap the benefits of this generous gift."
Brown said Eakin has agreed to serve on the board of the Center for Nursing Leadership in addressing workforce nursing issues in eastern North Carolina. She presented Eakin with a miniature "thinking man's chair" in recognition of the professorship and for his excellence in leadership and higher education.
Eakin thanked everyone, especially the generosity of Spangler, who hired Eakin as chancellor. He said he was honored to have the professorship named for him.
"I'm particularly thrilled it is given to the College of Nursing," Eakin said. "It's a college entirely worthy of this great honor."
Beginning in 2008, the Spangler Foundation will invest up to $20 million over five years to help each campus qualify for one additional endowed chair each year, potentially adding 80 professorships systemwide. The plan is contingent on the N.C. General Assembly providing state matching funds annually through the Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund. Started to encourage the creation of endowed chairs, the trust has provided matching funds for more than 300 professorships in the UNC system. Previously, Spangler and his family foundation have made donations to endow or complete 37 distinguished professorships across the system. A successful Charlotte businessman and advocate for public education at all levels, C.D. Spangler Jr. served as UNC President from 1986 to 1997.
The ECU College of Nursing was established in 1959, the oldest in the health sciences division, and has an enrollment of 1,047 students in baccalaureate, master's and doctoral nursing programs. It is the largest producer of new nursing graduates in the state and offers the only nurse midwifery plan of study and alternate entry MSN option for non-nursing bachelor degree holders in the state. The college is known for innovative online outreach efforts designed to increase access to education in rural areas. It serves as a center of excellence for leadership in nursing, professional nursing education, research, service and faculty practice in eastern North Carolina. The college offers program options for registered nurses and post-master's students to advance their education.

Video: Let Eastbound & Down's Kenny Powers Insult You for Two Minutes Straight
"You look like some sort of strange Mexican Grimace."
We'll come out and say it: Eastbound & Down's Kenny Powers's insult aesthetic is the most nuanced on television. It's a rare antihero who can both mime catching and throwing a fart (needs to be seen to be understood) and casually name-check the Criterion Collection while dissing your face. His barbs range from the pop cultural ("Maybe I'll find the Ewok village you came from") to the racially suspect but syntactically inspired ("You look like some sort of strange Mexican Grimace") to the sublimely random (" ... popping bubbles out of the air like some sort of fucked up Ray Charles"). As we prepare for Eastbound's season-three finale on Sunday, we leave you with a monologue of Powers's highly unsuitable for work insults to be properly offended by. Happy Friday.

Student stabbed at NC school, classmate charged
Student stabbed at NC school, classmate charged
A high school student faces multiple charges after another student was stabbed in a school hallway Monday morning.
Johnavan Spell, 17, of Greenville, was arrested following an incident around 8:20 a.m. at JH Rose High School, WITN reported.
The student victim was stabbed in the neck just before classes began, school officials said. The injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
The stabbing stemmed from a dispute that took place over the weekend, police said.
Spell was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon on educational property. He was held in jail under a $25,000 secured bond.

In an earnings call yesterday, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime has just confirmed that World of Warcraft has lost 800,000 subscribers in Q3, placing World of Warcraft at around 10.3 million players. Most of the losses came from the East, but Cataclysm simply wasn't a good expansion overall for WoW, as this is about a 1.7 million player loss from last year's reported number.
In other reported financial news, however, Activision has announced that they've beaten financial analyst expectations in the third fiscal quarter. They've tripled their profits with a strong push of digital sales.
Getting back to those World of Warcraft subs... Does anyone else find it incredible that WoW's subscription losses add up to more than double the entire population of many MMORPGs? Mind-boggling!
Thanks to Gamasutra for the heads up!

On January 8, 2009, Father Richard John Neuhaus, 72, died in New York City. That same day, upon learning of Fr. Neuhaus' death, the National Pro-Life Religious Council, which was meeting in Washington, DC, gave thanks to God for Fr. Neuhaus' life and ministry.
Fr. Neuhaus, a long-time Lutheran pastor who became a Roman Catholic priest, was faithful in serving Jesus Christ, His Church, and the world throughout his ministry. Because of his ecumenical example and exploration, many Protestants (evangelical and old line) and Roman Catholics recognized their unity in Jesus Christ and committed themselves to attempt to defend "the least of these" (Matthew 25). Because of his engagement in church-and-society matters, many Christians, Jews, and others were emboldened to make moral and religious claims in public life.
A tireless writer, Fr. Neuhaus was the editor-in-chief of First Things. His articles and books, sermons and speeches, were, to the National Pro-Life Religious Council, a source of constant inspiration and instruction.On this mournful day, NPRC recognizes, remembers, and celebrates Richard John Neuhaus as a great man, with extraordinary brilliance and exemplary faithfulness, who served the Gospel of Life.

After hours of passionate back-and-forth about a proposed ban on discrimination against people based on sexual orientation or gender identity, the Baton Rouge Metro Council adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m. without voting.
The ordinance was proposed by Councilwoman C. Denise Marcelle, creating a local law banning discrimination of LGBT people in areas of housing, employment and public accommodations. Those who violate the ordinance, which also would apply broadly to classes including race, color, religion, disability, sex and veteran status, could file a lawsuit in state district court.
Opponents repeatedly said the ordinance would violate their religious freedom. A string of business executives in favor of the proposal said it would position Baton Rouge to compete with other cities on economic development and recruiting new talent.
However, ahead of the meeting, it appeared that a majority of the Metro Council would not support the measure.
On Tuesday, one councilman who has come out against Marcelle's proposed ordinance offered up his own alternative: a non-binding resolution that discourages "unjust discrimination against any person whomsoever and of any kind whatsoever." The proposal by Councilman Ryan Heck, released Tuesday afternoon in a Facebook post, makes no mention of gays, lesbians, bisexuals or transgender people.
Marcelle said she opposes Heck's attempt at watering down her proposal, saying it is necessary to give the measure some teeth, which his does not do.
She said opponents like Heck are specifically against the part of the proposed ordinance that would protect gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people from discrimination.
"Primarily they're running away from the LGBT piece," she said. "They'll do whatever they have to do to take that piece out so they feel comfortable, but it doesn't change the fact that these people feel like they're being discriminated against, and it doesn't move the city forward."
Heck said by specifically identifying different protected classes, like Marcelle's proposal, it has the unintended effect of excluding people who are not listed.
"I feel it encompasses everyone in Baton Rouge society," he said of his proposal. "No matter how different or how unique or how similar they are."
Heck said he will propose his resolution on the floor of the council chambers during the Wednesday vote as an alternative to Marcelle's proposal.
He said he worked with members of the business community and religious groups who did not want to be identified.
"There are several well-respected businesspersons that I also worked with on this that are very fair that share my concerns of the litigious nature of Councilwoman Marcelle's ordinance," he said.
Supporters of the proposed ordinance note that in cities with similar laws, discrimination claims based on sexual orientation are about 4 percent of the total number of employment-based discrimination claims, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Heck's proposal will be likened to the "One Baton Rouge" resolutions of 2007 and 2010, which failed to pass the Metro Council. Those nonbinding resolutions expressed tolerance for people of all "colors, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, and people of all walks of life."
Heck's proposal recognizes people of different backgrounds without identifying any protected classes — rather it identifies their differences by acknowledging that Baton Rouge is "richly diverse, composed of people of varied walks of life, backgrounds and experiences, with variegated world-views, belief-systems, convictions and values, who exhibit distinctive innate characteristics and have chosen sundry affiliations, who are animated by various passions, interests and desires, and who pursue different aspirations, hopes and dreams."
His proposed resolution states that despite these differences, people should be treated fairly and with dignity, and it encourages people who do business with the city-parish to adopt policies "designed to guarantee diversity among their workforces" and "avoid unjust discrimination in their dealings."
Heck said he is certain that Marcelle will not have the necessary seven votes to win approval of her proposed ordinance. Along with Heck, council members Tara Wicker, Buddy Amoroso, Scott Wilson and Joel Boé have confirmed they will vote against Marcelle's measure. Councilman Trae Welch is expected to be absent from the meeting.
Only Marcelle and John Delgado have pledged to support her measure.
Delgado called Heck's proposal "offensive" and "cowardly," adding that it is weaker than the One Baton Rouge resolutions.
"He's trying to placate the gay community and a large number of his constituents that are looking to better the city of Baton Rouge and at the same time kowtowing to religious fanatics that would have him oppose what would otherwise be a common-sense measure," Delgado said. "It is so offensive to me that he has purposefully excluded any reference to any discriminated class."
Marcelle acknowledged her proposal could fail at the council meeting, but she said it's still a worthwhile debate that has earned the backing of distinguished business leaders.
Proponents of her measure include the Baton Rouge Area Foundation and the Baton Rouge Area Chamber. Advocates have promised that prominent Baton Rouge business leaders will be attending the council meeting to support the proposal.
On Tuesday, Mayor-President Kip Holden quietly issued an endorsement of Marcelle's measure on his Facebook page, encouraging people to email their council members to support the proposed ordinance.
"It may not have a chance of passing, but I believe the debate needs to be had, and a lot of people are afraid of this debate," Marcelle said. "If you're a representative, regardless of your beliefs, you need to be able to stand up and say why or why not. We owe that to the people of this city."
But Heck described his measure as a compromise that will have the support of the council.
"This is a tremendous positive step in the right direction, and I think we can pass this, whereas I don't think we can pass Councilwoman Marcelle's," he said.

Renewable Energy Development for BLM public lands was characterized into one of four sensitivity categories: 1. Exclude: Utility-scale renewable energy development would be excluded. 2. High sensitivity: Utility-scale renewable energy development would be entertained, but it is highly likely applications would be rejected due to non-conformance with Land Use Plans, or unacceptable resource conflicts. 3. Moderate sensitivity: Utility-scale renewable energy development would be entertained, but it is likely some plan or resource conflict will complicate development and may lead to the application being rejected. 4. Low known sensitivity: The known plan or resource conflicts are low, so application processing will likely procedd more smoothly. However, upon site-specific inspections, resource conflicts may still be found that represent significant conflicts.

OBETZ, Ohio – As much as the Columbus Crew coaching staff would love to maintain a specific way of playing every match, the fact remains that it's been impossible to instill a consistent style because of the numerous injuries they've endured this season.
Saturday's trip to New England (7:30 pm ET; watch LIVE online) will be yet another mix-and-match occasion as injured midfielder Milovan Mirosevic returns from two matches on the sidelines, while attacking midfielder Dilly Duka is out because of a reoccurring hamstring problem.
Based on training during the week, forward Justin Meram may get the start at left midfield in Duka's place.
Meanwhile, Danny O'Rourke (ankle sprain) will not play, so rookie Kevan George may make his second straight start at defensive midfield.
It'll be a brand new look for the Crew, which itself isn't all that strange for the team.
"One or two is not that big a deal but three or four changes usually brings a different style of play," assistant coach Mike Lapper said. "It doesn't mean that we're changing our formation or how we want to play but those guys bring different qualities."
The match could feature forwards Emilio Rentería and Olman Vargas paired as starters for the first time in seven games. And backup forward Aaron Schoenfeld may be available after sitting five games with a foot injury, though he is more likely to see action in Sunday's reserve match vs. the Revolution.
"The lineup depends on who plays in front and who you have play behind them," head coach Robert Warzycha said. "Is [the player behind] a runner or a passer? Is it somebody who keeps the ball more? We have a long talk about this every single game."
The backline has not been immune to injuries either. Captain Chad Marshall has not played since April 28 against Vancouver because of concussion symptoms, and could still be weeks away from playing.
Josh Williams has taken his spot and teamed with Eric Gehrig for most matches, although Carlos Mendes got the start over Gehrig in the last match on May 26 vs. Chicago.
Despite the upheaval, the Crew (5-4-3) are unbeaten in five matches.
"It doesn't matter who's out there," veteran Eddie Gaven said. "We're trying to play the exact same way even though we've had so many guys out."
Warzycha has gotten results even when he's not had his best players on the field, and even when his methods have been questioned – he benched Meram against Chicago even though the youngster had goals in three straight games.
"That was a very, very tough decision," Warzycha said. "But we had some guys coming back off injury and we decided to play them and sometimes they're not ready for 90 minutes. You can't have three or four guys you already know may have to come off the field."
He wanted to insert Meram in the second half, but an early injury to Duka changed his plans and Meram never got on the field. The Crew still won 2-1.
"You're good if things work," Warzycha said. "If that wouldn't have worked that would be a different story."

The Calgary Flames' all-Canadian 2009-10 schedule continues Tuesday evening at The House Roger Johansson Built when the Montreal Canadiens come calling.
The meeting is notable in that it's not anywhere near New Year's Eve, which not so long ago was the traditional date for Le Bleu-blanc-rouge's annual visit to Cowtown. It's also notable in that in marks to return of one of the most recent one-year Flames wonders that are so prevalent now in this ultra-disposable world of the current CBA.
As short-term/we-hardly-knew-you Flames go (and the recent list includes the likes of Chris Drury, Todd Bertuzzi, Owen Nolan, Brad Stuart, Alex Tanguay, etc.) Michael Cammalleri was a better, less acrimonious story than most. From the moment he joined the club, one year away from full-fledged free agency, the little guy's stay in Southern Alberta was destined to be a short one and so there was little shock value and fewer hurt feelings on all sides come separation time.
The Flames already had a lot of loonies invested in the core players whose names and major salaries you know by now and the machinations leading to the additions of Olli Jokinen and Jay Bouwmeester was the equivalent of a "Mazel tov for the great season, hope to see you at an alumni function some day down the road" to Cammalleri. Blinded by their fandom, some Flames backers hoped Cammalleri would take a "hometown" discout to play for a team that's two timezones away from his actual hometown but after potting a career-high 39 goals, but given the current cap situation, Cammalleri would have needed to discount himself down to $6.75 an hour.
To Cammalleri's credit, he was too honest to snow Calgarians with false promises of his undying love for the city and the hockey club and hollow vows of his intention to stay. He never came out and said he was going to be one and done as a Flame, choosing instead to defer all talk of the subject, but the guy was obviously sharp enough to realize that the deck was stacked against his return.
He seemed genuinely happy to be a member of the Flames, however briefly, and his recent conversation with the Calgary Herald's George Johnson goes beyond merely saying all the right things. Best of all, by signing with the Canadiens, he proved wrong all the smart-alecs who smugly declared it was done deal that Cammalleri was going to be a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.
From a pure hockey standpoint, it's difficult to assess the impact of Cammalleri's absence in Calgary until the results of the David Moss-on-portside experiment are known. While nothing should be taken away from Cammalleri's excellent performance on the power play, would it surprise you to know he had the exact same number of non-power play points as Craig Conroy? And even Cammalleri's most ardent admirers will admit his defensive work was hardly likely to ever attract the attention of the Selke voters.
There will unquestionably be times this season when the power play will be oh-fer and the fans will be longing for Cammalleri's Al Jolson-followthrough one-timer but the bottom line is the Flames should be grateful for the one productive season he gave Calgary and mindful of the fact that keeping No. 13 would have meant doing without No. 4.
As for Tuesday's game, is this the weirdest ever matchup of 2-0 teams? The Flames have two straight wins despite being outshot 44-76 and the Habs have been even worse, getting their victories despite a 44-81 shots differential. Something has to give, right?

"Valentine, of all the girls, you top my whole darn list. I suppose I need to see a good psychiatrist."
"Valentine, of all the girls, you top my whole darn list. I suppose I need to see a good psychiatrist."
It came to me in my mailbox in the post office lobby at Meredith College. It was from an N.C. State boy. I'm not sure of the sentiment involved, even to this day, but I'm not sure that it really mattered. In spite of the Valentine card, I ended up marrying him.
At least it contained a superlative, which Valentine's Day is all about: the ones you love the best.
Here's a quick run-down on all the ways you can show your affection using the most superlative (top 10) lists for your favorite S.O. (significant other) Thursday.
You can give one of the top 10 gifts to her or him. For her, number one is roses, red long-stemmed American beauties, of course. Diamond jewelry, sexy lingerie, a box of chocolates or an alluring fragrance (we use to call it toilet water) all make the cut for milady's choice of love offerings.
For him, number one is a wallet, preferably one with a stash of green in it. He'd like cologne, goes the list, or cigars or an 85-inch Ultra HD TV. My personal heartthrob always wanted a Porsche in the driveway, with a big red ribbon wrapped around it. Just stay away from those silk boxers with little red hearts all over them.
You can go out to dinner. The most popular restaurant meal for the Saint's Day, according to one survey, is Italian cuisine, preferably in New York City, if you can't have it in Venice.
If you're eating at home the top do-it-yourself romantic dinner for two is a tie between something lobster-y, like Newburg or thermidor or baked stuffed live, or a lovely filet de boeuf sauced up with mushrooms or a bordelaise. Of course you'll have one of the most effective aphrodisiacs for starters: Oysters, or maybe a salad with avocados, asparagus, a sprinkle of almonds and a honey-garlic sauce, and you'll be all set for whatever the evening may bring.
Will it be a romantic movie? Most of the top 10 lists of movies with a heart include the 1957 "An Affair to Remember" with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, "Pretty Woman," "The Notebook," "Titanic," "Dirty Dancing" and GWTW. Darn — where's "Casablanca"?
Maybe you'd like to sit by a cozy fire and take turns reading aloud from classic romantic literature, "Jane Eyre," for example, "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald or a little Keats. If you're not quite so high-falutin', go for anything by Nicholas Sparks or Danielle Steel — they're always on the top 10. No porn allowed, and that includes any shades of gray.
Ahh, it's time for a little music to put you in the mood. Just slip a CD in your player that features one of these top 10 tunes: Etta James' "At Last" which the Obamas two-stepped to at the first Inaugural Ball, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" belted out by Bonnie Tyler or what else but Whitney Houston and "I Will Always Love You?" Shucks, even the oldie-goldie "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers is included.
Maybe you just want to chuck all this "at home for Valentine's Day" stuff and make a midwinter romantic getaway. Top 10 choices include spots like Quebec City (a little chilly for my taste this time of the year) or Santa Barbara (now, you're talking) on this continent. The Greek Islands, Paris and Venice, Buenos Aires and Bora Bora are touted, as is anywhere in the Caribbean or on the Gulf. I've never heard of Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is highly recommended, but then I haven't been bopping around Croatia lately, either. Just stay away from Timbuktu.
OK, now you're all set for making the most of Valentine's Day. Wait, one last endeavor on your part, the annual Valentine's Match the Lovers in History and Literature Quiz.
Here's where you can wow your S.O. with your most superlative brain power. Just match the fellow with his girl.
