Italian Railways Network secures 61 stations with Thales tech
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) the Italian rail network operator, has awarded a pool of companies led by Thales a contract for the implementation of security systems on 61 RFI stations throughout various regions in Italy.
The company grouping also includes Leonardo, Ingegneria & Software Indistriale (I&SI) and SE.GI. The contract will enable the implementation of security systems such as Closed Circuit TV, access control/intrusion detection, smoke detection, protection fences, power efficiency, lighting, data transmission and wiring. It has a duration of five years, and includes maintenance work for five additional years. This latest contract follows an earlier one signed in 2008 for 143 stations. "This new contract reaffirms Thales' capabilities in physical site security for critical infrastructure like rail network and stations. We've been a long standing partner of RFI and have proven expertise in this field as Thales and its partners have more than 10 years of experience of successful contract delivery for similar projects for RFI.

After my radio show on Wednesday, I was inspired to go to DAVIDsTEA on Bank Street to check if they had the Kanpe tea. I didn't realize it was unveiled last Thursday while being in Montreal for the Arcade Fire free outdoor show for Pop Montreal. DAVIDsTEA and Kanpe Foundation teamed up to contribute the rebuilding of Haiti since the earthquake.
The funny thing when I went to the tea shop, I didn't realize that they were suppose to sell it on Thursday. Luckily, the nice employee was keen enough to let me buy it and not let anyone know about it. I kind of sweet talked my way about attending the Arcade Fire show in Montreal last week.
As seen from the photo above (apology on an object being shown. It's not the iPad, it's something else). The 40g gift can and the labelling looks lovely. As for the ingredients, it consists of organic hibiscus, mango, coconut, banana, papaya, cinnamon, stevia and natural flavouring.
Onto tasting the tea, it had a tart and tangy taste. I pretty much liked it because it was just flavourful. I never expected a red colour (photo below). It reminded me of previous teas I drank that had a fruity and tangy taste. I just can't remember what kind.
All in all, getting the Kanpe tea was worth it because it goes for a good cause to the Kanpe Foundation and being an avid tea drinker, I go for any kind of flavours. As the website says, it's to "celebrate Haiti." I don't know if the tea is for limited time but just check up them up if they have any available.
Last thing, the photos were taken while watching Nat & Marie over from the iPad.

SoCal is as unique as my lipstick collection Darling! From shimmers to gloss, reds and pinks... huh? Oh yes, that's right, we're talking about SoCal... what I meant was, the variety my Dear! One moment your freshly painted toes are in the warm sand by the Pacific Ocean and the next thing you know, you're driving to the snow covered (in the winter of course) mountains then off you go to the desert, just in time to hear the live jazz musicians playing their final set.

Synthetic biology involves the rational design and construction of biological components and systemsfrom genetic elements and metabolic pathways to entirely new organisms. Progress in this field has been rapid, and it promises to significantly expand our capabilities in biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology examines the tools and techniques employed by synthetic biologists, how these may be used to develop new drugs, diagnostic approaches, food sources, and clean energy, and what the field of synthetic biology has taught us about natural living systems. The contributors discuss advances in DNA synthesis and assembly, genome editing (e.g., CRISPRCas9), and artificial genetic systems. Progress in designing complex genetic switches and circuits, expanding the genetic code, modifying cellular organization, producing proteins using cell-free systems, and developing biodesign automation tools is also covered.
The authors also explore ways to produce new organisms and products that have particular attributesfor example, microbial molecular factories, synthetic organs and tissues, and plants with novel traits. This volume is an essential resource for molecular, cell, and systems biologists who seek to engineer living systems for human benefit.
"The coverage is excellent; the authors write clearly, with a consistency of style rare in multiauthor volumes, and chapters have a uniformly high standard of illustration....In summary, this volume would be very useful to any advanced student or researcher planning on running a synthetic biology project: a few focused hours with the book could save months of frustration at the bench."

[[Category:Can be featured]]

A member of the Sarghress Home Guard assigned to guard the gate leading into the Sarghress defense perimeter.

==Appearance and Personality==
Atric is a drow of average height, with short, white spiky hair that is dyed red at the tips. He wears a blue tassel ornament from his hair, hanging from the right side of his face. His armor is the standard deep red of the Home Guard, with a black and white roaring wolf motif on the left shoulder. He enjoys a good joke, poking fun at the Highland Raiders when they passed through his gate.

Atric was one of the guards assigned to the newly expanded outer defense perimeter, and greeted the squad that escorted Ariel Val'Sarghress home from her blood rite mission. He jokingly asked what brought Teb'ryn and her "sisters" to the gate, knowing there was at least one male squad member. When introduced to the Little Wolf, he commented that she didn't look like much, and was then reminded by Teb'ryn that Quain'tana didn't birth children full-sized, and to give Ariel time to grow. Atric admitted that that was true, and that Laele had also been considered a tiny thing but had quite a bite.(source 1)
Before continuing through the gate, Atric passed on news to the squad of the recent events, including the failed Sharen assault on the Sarghress fortress and the revelation of Sil'lice hiding amongst their ranks.

DURHAM � Mike Krzyzewski began his comments to reporters Tuesday by saying, �everybody right now is ready to play for Friday.�
The Duke coach was speaking in physical terms, specifically about the status of guard Seth Curry and forward Ryan Kelly, the seniors whose collective health has formed one of this basketball season�s continual topics.
But still it was an opening sentence that, to a certain degree, provided ear-perking material, given the unusually flat performance that bounced the Blue Devils from the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
When second-seeded Duke (27-5) starts the NCAA Tournament against 15th-seeded Albany (24-10) on Friday afternoon, its most recent game experience will be that of the 83-74 loss administered by Maryland in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals.
Krzyzewski said that immediate exit last week from the Greensboro Coliseum shouldn�t carry over and build into a source of angst for the NCAAs later this week in Philadelphia.
�I don�t think it�s a big thing,� he said. �I knew how I was preparing my team. I thought we would play well. � But it happens. It just happens.�
The Duke coach said less than two minutes had elapsed from his team�s eventual loss to Maryland in the ACC Tournament when he became concerned about uncontrollable aspects, such as human nature, that can produce potholes even when smooth sailing is the expectation.
�When you win those battles against human nature, and you lose them, you learn through that,� Krzyzewski said. �I�m 66. I can be ready every day at this time in my life, because when fielding things that would defeat you, I have mechanisms, for me personally, that I can use. Now to translate that to 19-, 20-, 21-year-olds, that�s difficult.
�And so, at 90 seconds into the Maryland game, that�s what I was doing. And we weren�t able to do it. Maryland was really good and human nature was really rampant that night.�
The Blue Devils have held practices each day since their one-and-done departure Friday night from the ACC Tournament. Curry and Kelly have followed a one-day-on, one-day-off practice schedule since the weekend to try to keep wear and tear at a minimum.
Krzyzewski said freshman guard Rasheed Sulaimon, the team�s fifth-leading scorer (11.5 points per game), will return to Duke�s first-string lineup for the NCAA Tournament opener against Albany.
Senior guard Tyler Thornton, the hard-nosed defender, replaced Sulaimon as a starter in the Blue Devils� previous two games.

UsherPersonal movie assistant
Wouldn't it be great if there were a tool that could manage your videos and movies as well as Apple's iTunes and iPhoto manage your music and your photographs? Now there is. Meet Usher, your personal movie assistant.
Usher is the ultimate movie and video assistant because it can see and manage pretty much everything:
Usher can manage the videos you keep on your hard drive, and it will do so even if you don't want to move your videos and movies into Usher's library—it's your choice as to whether or not Usher moves things into its library, or just helps you manage your collection in place.
Usher can see videos stored in iTunes, iPhoto, and Aperture, providing easy management for these collections. You can add details to these videos, and then use Smart Playlists (as in iTunes) to quickly filter your collection on those details.
Watch Usher uses Apple's QuickTime technology, so it can play back any movie that you can watch in QuickTime Player. (Install Perian (see note below) and Flip4Mac to further extend QuickTime's playback powers.)
Note on Perian: This project was discontinued years ago; it's still available as a download on their site, and still seems to work, but use it at your own risk.
Usher allows you to watch videos directly in its window, in a separate window, or in full-screen mode. In the first two modes, you can choose between the QuickTime X-style 'hovering' controls, or fixed controls outside the playback area.
Identify Once your collection has reached a certain size, watching becomes difficult without some way of identifying individual videos…and this task is one of Usher's strengths.
You can use Tags to help categorize movies, much like you use keywords in iPhoto to organize photos. Beyond Tags, Usher's Properties are multi-value fields that can, for instance, store the entire cast for a movie in one Property.
Usher makes it super easy to create Property entries for your commercial movies, too—an Auto-Properties button grabs the relevant data from Amazon, and populates the Properties fields for you.
Usher also includes a free-form auto-expanding Notes field, so if you like to keep notes about your movies, you can now store a near-limitless amount of text about each one. This text is fully searchable, too, meaning you can use the Notes field in Smart Playlists.
Organize For the ultimate in organization, you can sort your movies and videos into Folders, and use Playlists and Smart Playlists to create filtered lists based on Tags, Properties, and other fields (such as Date Added).
Playlists and Smart Playlists in Usher work just like they do in iTunes and iPhoto, so if you're comfortable there, you'll be right at home in Usher.
With the power of Smart Playlists, your movie collection can be as organized as you want it to be.
One organization task that many people dread is renaming their recorded movies; there's just not much relevant information in a video clip titled MVI1023.MOV, but renaming tens or hundreds of similarly-named clips is tedium defined.
Typically, you'd have to resort to an independent app, such as our own Name Mangler, to rename all your badly-named videos. But Usher's got you covered there, too—it's got a built-in renaming tool that provides quite a few options for batch renaming.
Search and Ye Shall Find
Usher's search feature makes it simple to find just the movie you're looking for—and it works on the fly, as you type.
By default, Usher searches everywhere for your search string. However, you can limit the scope of your search to the video's name, its location, or its Tags and Properties—or any combination of those items.
Extend Your Library
If you're working with a small internal drive—or have a huge collection—Usher's supplementary libraries allow you to access movies and videos stored on multiple drives, and treat them all as if they were part of one large collection.
Add as many supplementary libraries as you wish, and Usher will treat them all as an extension to your existing collection. This means you never have to worry about running out of drive space for your collection—just add a new drive, add it to Usher, and keep adding to your library.
Grow Your Collection
Usher can help you download videos from many web sites:
Select Usher > Integrate with Browser, and Usher will load a page in your preferred browser, containing a bookmark and instructions on how to install it in your browser.
With the bookmark installed, load up a video on a given site, then click the bookmark. Usher should then begin downloading the currently-loaded video, and (if you've set it up to do so) auto-converting it for use on the device of your choosing.
Note: This feature works with direct links to movie files. Note too that you are solely responsible for complying with the rules of the various sites, as well as copyright law in general, for any videos you choose to download.
Excellence is in the Details
Beyond its major features, Usher contains a number of small touches that make organizing and playing your videos an enjoyable experience:
With its combination of organizational tools and playback options, Usher really is your personal movie assistant.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 1 Issue 24 October 25, 2000
When it comes to the protection of national security, over and over again the Clinton/Gore White House drops the ball.
So many examples exist as ironclad proof of the incompetence of this Clinton/Gore Administration in the area of national security, it seems useless to argue that this White House can or ever will do anything right.
Of course there are those who are still hoping to this day that they will "grow into the job." But, security professionals do not live on hope, or guess or gamble with the lives of others.
I don't think the Clinton/Gore bunch will ever "get it" when it comes to the seriousness of the threats against this nation - they have only about 90 days left to get up to speed. Meanwhile, millions of our brave young service men and women are in harm's way, at the mercy of those who are too often short on good decisions, and shorter still on high performance.
I know good journalism requires that examples of what I'm claiming be given, but frankly I'm so sick and tired of those blockheads in the White House that I can't bear to list their many serious screw-ups again. Besides, if concerned citizens don't know about the Clinton White House by now - if they haven't reached a conclusion by now - what could I or anyone else write to help make up their minds?
Today in the Washington Times we learned that there were serious warnings given by NSA about a terrorist attack about to be launched against our citizens in a specific part of the world - that part of the world where the USS Cole was to be refueled. But the warnings were not passed on to the Navy in a timely manner. By the time the warnings made their way to the proper parties, many had already met a horrible, tragic fate.
I know from my time in the FBI that "hot" information of this kind, bearing on a terrorist act about to be perpetrated, would have been immediately sent to the White House so that officials within the NSC and the President's inner circle could deal right away with whatever threat was raised. True security pros would have understood the need for immediate and decisive action.
Immediate action, such as passing on this serious warning to the US Navy ships in the area. We have taken an absence from excellence for so long, its difficult to remember a time when things actually did work swiftly, and smoothly.
When did we agree as a country that third-world performance was good enough?
We'll now wait for the predictable congressional inquiry, but I'll wager that Sandy Burger and his top level NSC staffers were absent from the premises when the warnings came in - probably off to some Gore Campaign fund-raiser, or perhaps hob-nobbing with some Chinese generals at a "hot" Washington night spot.
When I worked there I had a hard time finding any real serious people in the Clinton/Gore White House. "Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll" has a way of distracting folks away from serious business, I guess.
I know that sounds so cynical, but is there a single person left in this country that does not have an absolute right to their cynicism about this seriously flawed group of La La Land tribe from the incomprehensible, dysfunctional "Sixties?"
The FBI sent 100 special agents around to the other side of the globe to investigate crimes related to the attack on the USS Cole. How about sending about 50 FBI special agents down to the Clinton White House where some of the biggest crimes of our time have been committed?

"Ride 'em in. Cut 'em out." What do you call this show?
The classic TV Western "Rawhide" ran for eight seasons. Its star, Clint Eastwood, would achieve more success in movie Westerns. He gave a nod to his "Rawhide" days when he wore the boots from the show in his movie "Unforgiven."

Why Work Should Also Mean Time for Play
You cannot be serious!
Actually, Mr. McEnroe, we can. And generally, in business, we are — way too serious. At least that's been my experience as I work with clients around the world who are seeking to think and act more creatively.
Take the humble business meeting — an issue that is crying out for creativity and is the subject of my new book, "Will There Be Donuts? Better Business One Meeting at a Time." When I scan most meetings for signs of vitality, energy or exuberance I am forced to conclude that somewhere along the line we confused "serious" and "somber." We started to think professionalism means being poker-faced, that boredom is an integral part of business, that working hard trumps working well.
I confess I am puzzled every time someone asks me to deliver a session or workshop that will be "fun." The assumption is that everything else, the "real work," as it were, is not going to be fun. Even after two decades working with businesses, this still strikes me as odd. My background is in the arts, where we don't really know the difference between work and play. They are inseparable salt-and-pepper elements of the creative process. It's a business where the product is as just likely to be called a play or a work.

I spent some time this weekend trying to find a word for what I feel when I am with these people, when I am watching these games, when I am feeling a part of this community, and I can't quite find it. I know that the emotion is physical, because I can feel it in my chest. It is heavily joyful and yearning and grateful and amazed and really, just plain indescribable.
It is good.
I will work on sorting out those feelings so I can write something coherent, but thought tonight I would tell you the story of the hockey tournament as seen through my Facebook and Twitter posts. They don't tell the whole story, but they hit some of the high points.
After I posted this photo everywhere I had a social media account, a lot of you commented on the hat. You all loved the hat. Jack loves that hat too. You know where it came from? The head coach had one made for his son and a parent of one of the mentors (who skate with the Cheetahs every week when they are at practice) raised enough money to get a hat for every single member of the team. Phenomenal. If those kind people who raised that money ever read this, you should know how amazing your gift was to these children and young adults. Thank you. Truly.
Jack's team had two games on Friday and two games on Saturday. I was in the stands at the second game on Friday night and there was just too much amazing in the air and I had to get it out somewhere.
There is no part of this team that I don't love. I love the camaraderie of the parents. I love the joy and exercise that the players get. I love to see the amazing sportsmanship that these athletes and their coaches display. I love that both sides cheer for every goal, no matter who scored it. I love that some kids play hockey like they've been doing it for years and some kids barely pay attention to the puck, but they all get something out of it and they are all incredible and important players.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to do this again: I FREAKING LOVE SPECIAL HOCKEY!
After that game, I got some food to take back to the hotel for Jack and I. He played some iPad while I waited for our food and reflected on how hard Jack worked that day.
And there you have the first day of the tournament. It was good stuff. The second day got off to a little bit of a rougher start.
Our first game was at 10 a.m., so we had to get up and eat breakfast early enough to walk to the rink and get Jack geared up. We ate breakfast at the hotel with some friends, including Jack's best friend and his dad, T.
You guys, I almost can't tell you this. It was so horrible.
Jack was eating bacon and he started to choke. He was across the table and past his best friend from me and he seemed really far away. I didn't know what to do. T, who works in the medical field, saw what was happening and yanked Jack over his own kid. He checked to see if he was breathing and then he had to give him the Heimlich.
He had to squeeze him four times before Jack started making noise and was able to throw up the biggest wad of bacon you have ever seen.
He saved Jack. He is my hero.
I am signing up to take a first aid class as soon as I get home. I think you should too.
All that happened at something like 8:30 in the morning. I had a good 13 hours to go until bedtime and I was already emotionally destroyed.
We headed over to the rink and got ready for the first game. Jack was a little bit belligerent at this game. It was shades of last year when he yelled at all the dads who were helping on the bench. I don't really blame him. I'm sure he was exhausted, he was probably stressed out from what happened that morning, and there had been a lot of stimulation. But you know what? He played all his rotations for the game. He finished. I was really proud.
Needless to say, I sobbed.
After the game, Jack ate some lunch and played some more iPad (the kid earned it) until his next and final game of the tournament.
The coaches had really tried to help Jack score a goal in the third game, but it just didn't come together, as sometimes it doesn't. I was hopeful that he might get another chance in this last game. Jack had never scored a goal in a game in the whole two years that he's been playing hockey, and I knew that a goal would mean a lot to him.
Unfortunately, being an asshole and hitting the opposing team members with your stick doesn't get you a goal.
But then...you guys, it was amazing. One of the coaches positioned Jack. The others got the puck to him. There were less than two minutes left in Jack's final game of the tournament. He shot and the goalie blocked, but the coaches got the puck back to Jack and kept the other players off of him. There was a whole little kerfluffle at the goal and then all of the Cheetahs' arms went up in celebration.
Jack scored his first goal.
The other parents, who knew where I was emotionally and how much that meant to me, because, Christ, it means that much to them too, well, we all erupted in cheers. I, naturally, burst into tears. It was one of the most magical moments of my whole life. I'm not kidding.
My friend took a photo of me with the team in the background. You can probably still see tears in my eyes.
When I got down to the locker room, Jack was sitting calmly on a bench. I hugged him and told him how excited I was about his goal and I said, "I am so proud of you, Jack!"
And he said...
"I am proud of myself."
And then I sobbed a lot more and I may have agreed to really pay the coaches the million dollars I offered them for the goal because those five words—and he put that emphasis on "myself," by the way—are worth a billion dollars.
We watched the team's other squad play a game and then we went back to the hotel where Jack swam in the pool for nearly two hours and I talked and laughed with the other parents. Then we hung out in the room with Jack's buddy and his dad and then we went downstairs to the lobby to wait for the bus to take us to the end of the tournament banquet and I turned away from Jack for about a minute, at which point he disappeared.
Come. On.
My Hero, the Second found him in the luggage rack closet.
It was at this point that I resolved to never let him out of my sight again. And I haven't yet since then. Except when he almost finagled his way off of the bus by himself when we arrived at the banquet.
He is a sneaky, agile little dude.
You know what was fantastic about the place where the banquet was held? Just out the double doors and around the corner, there was an honest-to-God bar.
The evening ended with a band and a dance party. It was a little too much for Jack, who retreated to a back corner, hid behind some plants and started playing with random wires, so I spent an hour or so distracting him and a couple of other kids by chasing them in circles. We had a blast. It was a great end to a day that held some of the most extreme emotions I have had in a while.
This last photo isn't tied to any social media, but I just loved it. Jack and I shared something big this weekend—with each other and with many of the other families on this trip. It has been an incredible experience.

These spicy chickpeas evoke visions of a languorous evening spent in Marrakesh, lounging about on hand-woven rugs in a smoky den of jeweled resplendence. If you own an actual tagine, gold star for you! Use that. Otherwise, a Dutch Oven or a large heavy-bottomed skillet will do the trick.
I've been on a bit of a quinoa kick lately. It's just so easy. Not to mention that it is widely considered to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Older than Peru, the Incas called this gluten-free grain the "mother grain". Unlike any other non-animal product, quinoa contains all nine amino acids, making it a complete protein. In addition to a sizable amount of protein, quinoa is also an excellent source of fiber, calcium, phosphorus, folate, and many B vitamins. Just rinse those little suckers off for a few minutes, throw em' in a pot of water, and simmer until they all explode into little curly q's. When approaching this recipe, instead of running out to buy couscous (this gal's trying to develop a budget), I cooked up a big pot of quinoa not only as a side to this dish, but enough to last me for the week.

April 3, 2012
Gary Jenkins, Chief of Police
Pullman Police Department
(509) 334-0802
PULLMAN – The week of April 8-14, 2012 is "National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week". This is an opportunity to honor the women and men who serve as our public safety dispatchers. They are the voice at the other end of the 911 call assisting a distraught caller. They are the voice behind the radio when police, firefighters and medical personnel are responding to emergency situations. Often these "invisible" courageous professionals are the forgotten component of public safety.
If you've ever been the victim of a crime, been in a collision, reported a fire or needed emergency medical help, you've called 911 and been helped by a telecommunicator, also known as a "dispatcher". Not being visible or always recognized in the public's eye, the critical role they play between the community and responders is essential for every public safety request ranging from illegally parked cars to fatalities.
The Pullman Police and Fire Departments rely on Whitcom, the regional dispatch center located in Pullman, for 911 and dispatching services. "They have a difficult job with tremendous responsibility," said Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins. "They are a vital link between the community and first responders, and they fill that role with competency and professionalism."
Telecommunicators Week began in California in 1981 and quickly grew to national recognition. Just ten years later, Congress designated the second full week of each April as a time to remember the critical role that dispatchers play in keeping us all safe.

NEW DURHAM — This week, the Restoration Committee received grant-funding from the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program for its ongoing preservation of the town meetinghouse.
Restoration Committee Chairman Cathy Allyn said she was ecstatic to receive the $13,000 award Monday in Concord.
"They gave us half of what we requested …," Allyn said. "LCHIP is a fantastic organization and what they do is tremendous for the people of the state. Certainly, it was also a great honor for us."
LCHIP is an independent state authority that provides grants to protect and preserve the state's most important natural, cultural, and historic resources. According to a press release, LCHIP grants have previously helped 141 Granite State communities protect exactly 126 historic structures.
Allyn said her committee, which includes Bob Craycraft, Ann Kelley, George Gale and consultant Mark Foynes, has a lot of work ahead of it, including the preservation of the building's original foundation and restoration of the roof.
Erected in 1772, New Durham's meetinghouse was recently recognized by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance as one of the "Seven to Save" historical structures in the state this week.
The one-story structure once had two floors, until a vote came before Town Meeting in 1985, and locals elected to compress the building. The structure was celebrated recently upon the community's 250th anniversary this year, and is beloved by many in town.
"We have this tremendously significant building. In the last couple of years, hundreds of people have come to visit and see that this is amazing. A couple years ago, we had a group of extremely dedicated volunteers who put a lot of time and energy and money into that building," Allyn said. "This meetinghouse … belongs to the country … It's a piece of Americana. It's part of everyone's heritage."
Allyn noted for the next steps in the project, her committee will try private fundraising and approaching the town Budget Committee for assistance. The next completed phase of the project will end "Phase 2" in the historic structure's report.
Allyn said the grant was a feather in the Restoration Committee's cap — she hopes their efforts to keep the meetinghouse in prime condition will be successful.
"We had such a turnout at the town's 250th anniversary," she recalled. "More than 70 people came through the meetinghouse that day and all of them were 100 percent behind the restoration project. That was just wonderful to see. The more we can open up that building to people, the more support we'll be able to garner … It's a marvelous, marvelous building and it's just part of everybody's heritage."

DU recruit Tyler Pham picked No. 3 overall in USHL draft
Young center Tyler Pham, who played on the Colorado Thunderbirds' under-18 team in 2010-11 and is committed to DU for 2012, was selected No. 3 overall in the United States Hockey League entry draft by the Indiana Ice (CORRECTED).
Pham is pegged to play one season in the junior-A league before joining the Pioneers.
Forward Dakota Mermis, who is scheduled to be a DU classmate with Pham, was picked the the Green Bay Gamblers, at No. 14 overall. Mermis, the younger brother of current DU freshman Jarrod Mermis, played for the U.S. National Development Program U17 team last season.
Not positive why Mermis was selected in the USHL draft, considering the USNDP is usually a two-year commitment when a player joins the U17 team. My DU sources say Mermis is indeed planning on playing with the U.S. U18s next season, and the deep Gamblers are simply taking a chance that Mermis won't join DU in 2012 and require another year of junior-A.

I'd be surprised if you haven't already read the post advocating against the imposition of Democrat-style gun control. The author is Larry Correia and, as a nice Jewish grandmother would say, he knows from guns. In other word, he's writing from a position of factual strength.
Correia's post is a long one, but well worth your time. Here are some choice quotes, but don't cheat yourself by reading only these quotes and then skipping the rest:
The single best way to respond to a mass shooter is with an immediate, violent response. The vast majority of the time, as soon as a mass shooter meets serious resistance, it bursts their fantasy world bubble. Then they kill themselves or surrender. This has happened over and over again.
The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by law enforcement: 14. The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by civilians: 2.5. The reason is simple. The armed civilians are there when it started.
In my experience, the only people who are worth a darn with a gun are the ones who wish to take responsibility and carry a gun. Make it voluntary. It is rather simple. Just make it so that your state's concealed weapons laws trump the Federal Gun Free School Zones act. All that means is that teachers who voluntarily decide to get a concealed weapons permit are capable of carrying their guns at work. Easy. Simple. Cheap. Available now.
Gun Free Zones are hunting preserves for innocent people. Period.
In all honesty I have no respect for anybody who believes Gun Free Zones actually work. You are going to commit several hundred felonies, up to and including mass murder, and you are going to refrain because there is a sign? That No Guns Allowed sign is not a cross that wards off vampires. It is wishful thinking, and really pathetic wishful thinking at that.
The only people who obey No Guns signs are people who obey the law. People who obey the law aren't going on rampages.
I want to talk about the media's effect on the shooters.
These people want to make a statement. They want to show the world that they aren't losers. They want to make us understand their pain. They want to make their peer group realize that they are powerful. They'll show us. The solution is easy. It's right there in front of your nose.
If you can kill enough people at one time, you'll be on the news, 24/7, round the clock coverage. You will become the most famous person in the world. Everyone will know your name. You become a celebrity. Experts will try to understand what you were thinking. Hell, the President of the United States, the most important man in the world, will drop whatever he is doing and hold a press conference to talk about your actions, and he'll even shed a single manly tear.
You are a star.
Please read the rest here. Part of being armed for battle means being armed with the facts, and you will get them from Correia's post.
Speaking of facts, The Atlantic has published a long online post likening the Second Amendment crowd to the pro-slavery crowd in the years leading up to the Civil War. It is an exquisite example of Progressive reasoning, long on irrelevant facts and then using irrational reasoning to tie these irrelevant facts together into a Progressive conclusion. As an added bonus, it makes a spectacular logical leap to tie together the racist Democrats, who were the first to demand gun control in order to disarm Southern blacks, with modern-day Constitutionalists who believe that every one has a right to self-defense, including blacks.
I'm too lazy to deconstruct the factual, historical, and analytical fallacies, but I'm sure you'll enjoy doing that, especially after having read Correia's post. The only thing that saddens me greatly is that Ta-Nehisi Coates, who writes from a strong foundation of emotionalism and ignorance, has the imprimatur and reach of the still-respectedAtlantic behind him/her (can't tell gender from name), while Correia, who has first-hand knowledge and actual facts (as opposed to feelings and historic rewrites) can only rely upon word of mouth in the blogosphere.

COLUMBUS: Gov. John Kasich has cleared the way for Ohio to enforce temporary rules set by a board that was created under the state�s new law on exotic animals.
The Dangerous and Restricted Animals Advisory Board established interim rules for cage sizes and the caretaking of regulated animals, such as alligators, cougars and lions. Kasich signed an executive order Tuesday that enables the Ohio Department of Agriculture to adopt the rules immediately.
The advisory board decides the proper thickness of the animals� cages and how they should be maintained, among other requirements. Kasich�s order says animal owners will have 90 days to comply with the rules once they�re adopted.
More permanent standards will be put in place when new state permits are required in 2014.

Mark Ronson is the epitome of everything that is wrong in the music industry: privileged background, famous connections, celebrity status. He's carved himself a quiff shaped niche out of building a recording career on the foundations of other artists' talent. His debut, Here Comes The Fuzz, was touted by Jay-Z and featured his famous friends from his days djing in NYC; Version polluted every wedding and bar mitzvah with the trumpet-rape of classic tracks sung by another raft of established and up and coming artists. And, he gave the world Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen. Like the popular kid in school who you'd like to think is now stacking cans of spam in Tescos, has a permanent claw from playing too much Xbox and is living with his mum, but actually is sickeningly successful, loaded and shagging around – Ronson is everything you want to hate. So, it makes it more annoying that his third album, Record Collection, is actually pretty good.
It's clear that with this record he's keen to shed his much critique past and reinvent himself as a credible artist: bleaching his trademark quiff into a something that papa smurf would be proud of and shooting a recent NME cover showing him breaking the trumpets that gained him notoriety. Instead of raiding Sixties soul he's jumped forward a couple of decades, cutting up Kraftwerk synths with the Eighties hip hop beats that littered his debut. The same familiar faces are there: Q-tip, Ghostface Killah and Alex Greenwal. But yet again he's pillaging the latest talent in town: there's MNDR, The Drums' Jonathan Pierce and ex-Pipette Rose Elinor Dougall. With this much artistic acumen on board even Jedward couldn't fuck up.
'Bang Bang Bang' is a killer opener with MNDR's chewing gum sneer clashing against Q-tip's cool refrain as buzzing synths are grounded by the swaggered beats. Throughout the album, it's clear that keyboards have replaced trumpets as Ronson's instrument of choice: 'You Gave Me Nothing', written by Jonathan Pierce, wouldn't be out of place on the Human League's Dare! – Rose Elliot Dougall and Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt stage their break-up against blasted chords that drop into a drum break before a classic Eighties fade out. 'Glass Mountain Trust' juxtaposes hot and cold melodies: icy and controlled synths jostle for attention with Djangelo passionate soul. The record's also broken up by three separate synth instrumental interludes. 'Colour Of Krumar', Circuit Breaker and Missing Words sound like being stuck in a cosmic lift with a mash-up of Visage and Kraftwerk being pumped through the air vents.
But there are reflections to Ronson's past: 'Ride My Bike' written by The Zutons' Dave McCabe and featuring The View's Kyle Falconer has an innocent subject matter and uncharacteristically clear and soulful vocals from Falconer that wouldn't be too out of place sitting next to Winehouse on Version. 'Introducing The Business' harks back to Ronson's debut: starting with low and dirty vocals, it's pure hip-hop with Pill paraphrasing Roots Manuva shouting, "witness the hipness" as the urgent strings in a minor give it the grandioseness of Kanye West's 'Jesus Walks'.
One merit of Record Collection is that Ronson mixes and matches sounds and textures and artists who wouldn't even be in the same genre together on iTunes. Testimony to this is standout track 'Somebody To Love Me', which was written by Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, Cathy Dennis, ex- Dirty Pretty Things' Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt. White boy soul is mixed with discordant steel drums and trip hop beats and Boy George's lead vocal lends a mature gravitas, his voice grown into a more learned and a passionate husk with age.
The album sees Ronson making his vocal debut on 'Lose it (In The End') with Ghostface Killah and title track, 'Record Collection' penned by the Kaiser Chiefs, Nick Hodgson. Despite his transatlantic upbringing, he has a quintessentially English vocal, but it's nothing remarkable – despite sounding like a more plummey Ray Davies, putting himself alongside Ghostface Killah was a mistake as he's practically pummelled into the ground. And in fact 'Record Collection' is deplorable in every way, a tongue-in-cheek take on the tabloid spin on Ronson's life, as he whines: "I drive round cities in a chariot and get preferential treatment at the Marriott, but the truth is that I'm naked underneath these clothes". It cries poor little rich boy with Nick Hodgon's nasally tones only rubbing salt in this self-inflicted wound.
Record Collection is an accomplished piece of work, but you have to wonder whether Ronson'd be able to achieve something of a similar magnitude and quality if he was left alone in a recording studio; no guests, no help, no connections. However, if you consider Ronson as less of an artist and more of a collective like The Raconteurs, Gorillaz, or Monsters Of Folk- he did want to just be called the Business International before his record company intervened – it's all much less offensive.

Wizards vs. Aliens, formerly Aliens vs. Wizards, until the lawyers got involved, in the next BBC show from Russell T. Davies, resuscitator of Doctor Who. We've been tracking it pretty closely, and there's a good handful of old Bleeding Cool stories on the show that will tell you more about who's making it, and where it's being made and all that behind-the-scenes stuff.
Now, though, let's have a look at what's going on in front of the camera.
This is the first image from the production, as provided to us by the BBC. Here you see Scott Haran as Tom Clarke and Percelle Ascott as Benny Sherwood, a couple of youngsters hiding behind a shed. Presumably because there wasn't a sofa close enough.
The official plot blurb goes like this:
Tom Clarke is a seemingly ordinary boy who loves football. He lives with his dad Michael and grandmother Ursula in an ordinary house in an ordinary street – but there's something different about Tom. He has an astonishing secret – his family are Wizards! When the alien Nekross arrive on Earth hungry for magic, there's big, big trouble in store for all wizardkind.
With the help of his friend and science super-brain Benny, Tom must stop them – but will these two unlikely heroes succeed, or will the Nekross devour all the magic on Earth with disastrous results for the whole planet?
I'm betting on the former.
I could have told you Benny was going to be a "super brain" by virtue of his combination of best friend status and spectacles.
Don Gilet and Nina Sosanya have been cast as Benny's parents, but they'll apparently only be making "guest appearances." Annette Badland, Michael Higgs, Jefferson Hall and Gwendoline Christie also have roles, but I don't know what as.
Twelve half hour episodes are on the slate for the Autumn.

The Hugest Green Wall in Europe against Climate Change
A new wall is making headlines — and it is not a border wall. The unveiling of the ?largest living wall in Europe?, the Citicape House by Sheppard Robson, in London aims to combat global warming and growing greenhouse gases and improve local air cleanliness quality.
Located on London?s Culture Mile, a wall composed of 400,000 plants hopes to capture nearly eight tons of carbon and produce six tons of oxygen per year. "On a site that is so prominent, there was a real drive to inject some fresh perspectives on how to grapple with some on London's most urgent environmental issues, including air quality and noise and dust pollution," said Dan Burr, partner at Sheppard Robson.

It's far nicer (and easier) when things are in your own language.Right now, we speak a few, but we're learning more all the time…
Our Henley TV collection was designed to disguise the tangle of wires and the clutter that comes along with modern technology. This cabinet hides all but the screen itself (which can be stood on top or hung above), with ventilated shelves inside and drawers for remotes and devices. We've even included cable management tidies. And all within a piece that combines oak and painted timber with a classic-meets-contemporary style.
The colours in our paint palette shown here are a close representation of their true shades, but to see the real thing, we suggest trying our sample paint pots.
This piece is made from natural timber, which will expand and shrink slightly as it responds to the humidity and temperature in your room. We've used joinery techniques that'll help to counteract this, but small changes are completely natural. In the unlikely event that there's a significant change to the structure, we'll be here to help.
We've put together a series of guides on how best to take care of our pieces, so you can keep them looking as good as the day you first brought them home.

Exzellenter Kundenservice heißt bei uns, dass wir immer in einem Zwei-Mann-Team anliefern Das bedeutet, dass Sie keinen Finger rühren müssen. Unsere Mitarbeiter bringen Ihr Produkt an den gewünschten Ort, bauen es auf und kümmern sich auch um die fachgerechte Entsorgung der Verpackung.
If you've bought something from us outside the UK or Ireland, just get in touch with the store you bought it from – or with our international team if you bought it through them – and they'll let you know how you can return or exchange it.
Returns should be easy, that's why we have a 'no quibble' mindset.
If you decide on the day that it's not for you then our delivery team can take it away for you there and then. But if you'd rather mull things over, you have 28 days to make up your mind. We do charge a pick-up fee of £29.95 here though, because we'll need to send our delivery team back out.
And when it comes to designs upholstered in a made-to-order fabric or painted in a bespoke colour, there's also a 20% returns/cancellation fee. We'd love to not have to charge a penny for this, but as they're made just for you, we can't always guarantee that we'll be able to sell them again.

Anderson Cooper has nothing more to say to his TV nemesis.
On this coming Wednesday's edition of "Anderson Live," a guest brought up the spat the newsman-turned-talk show host got into with Star Jones last week over his public coming out, prompting Cooper to state once and for all that he's "done" talking about it.
The row came up when Anderson was speaking via Skype to Ann Marie Avey, a Seattle native who was appearing with her cat Colonel Meow. When the CNN anchor asked her what made her feline friend so angry, she replied that she asked the Colonel about the former "View" diva and the cat purportedly quipped, "Who?"
Anderson Cooper rips Star Jones: coming out as gay was not a ratings ploy
"Don't get me in a war with Star Jones now. I said my piece on Star Jones. I am not one to have a feud," says Cooper. "She tweeted back something. I said my piece and then she tweeted me and I'm not responding."
Cooper is referring to the "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant's cynical comment on the "Today" show in which she said that his admission that he's gay was a ploy "for ratings."
Cooper replied on his own show that he was annoyed by that response, considering that he only came out via a letter that his friend, gay columnist Andrew Sullivan, posted on his blog at the Daily Beast in July. He also said he hadn't "thought about" Star in ages and was "unaware she was even on TV still."
Never one to shy away from a fight, Jones fired back with the tweet that Anderson said he'd just as soon ignore.
Anderson Cooper comes out: "The fact is, I'm gay"
"I was wrong. @andersoncooper didn't come out as a ratings ploy. He used ME talking about him coming out @today show as a ratings ploy. #mybad," she wrote.
In Wednesday's episode of "Anderson Live," Cooper reiterated his intent to not engage his fellow TV gabber.
"Actually, 'The Today Show' tried to book me to go on with Star Jones so we could tussle. I was like, I've got nothing more to say, nor do I want to be in a room with her. I'm done," he says.
So far, no response from Jones.
Here are some other celebs who are out and proud
