21 Dec 2017: Happy 134th Birthday to The Royal Canadian Regiment!
On 21 Dec 1883, a bill in parliament was approved to establish the Infantry School Corps, formed of 3 companies, located in Fredericton, NB, St-Jean, QC, and Toronto, ON. The newly created School had a mission to train local militia. In 1886, a 4th company was added in London, ON. By 1904, these units had evolved into The Royal Canadian Regiment. The regimental birthday has been remembered every year, even in time of war. In 1943, as The RCR was engaged in the Battle of Ortona during the Second World War, the officers marked the regimental diamond jubilee with a toast. The recipe was a mix of ration rum, sugar and water; ever since it is a regimental tradition known as "Ortona Toast".
Kowang-san Day 23 October 2017
In October 1952, the Royal Canadians were fighting in Korea, alongside other units of the Canadian Army. It took almost a full month of tenacious resistance and brave fighting to push back Chinese assaults 40 km north of Seoul, in an area known as Hill 355 and nicknamed "Little Gibraltar" due to its prominent size and many defensive positions. The RCR marks this important advancement during the Korean War every year. http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/korean-war/hill355_sheet

Centennial of the Battle of Hill 70: 20 August 2017, from 10:45am to 12:00pm
This event is organized by the 4th Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment to mark the centennial of the Battle of Hill 70. A forgotten battle during the First World War, it saw Canada's only Muslim casualty, Private Hasan Amat of 1st Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, be killed-in-action on 20 August 1917. The Battle of Hill 70 was fought by all four divisions of the Canadian Corps between 15 and 25 August 1917. It was the follow-up task of the corps following their victory at Vimy Ridge in April of the same year. Significantly, Hill 70 marks the first time the Canadian Corps was led by a Canadian officer, Lieutenant General Arthur Currie. He convinced higher headquarters to focus on capturing Hill 70, a dominating high feature to the north of Lens (France). Having captured Hill 70, the Canadians could effectively control Lens and force the Germans to commit to recapturing the hill at great cost. With devastating artillery barrages and rapid infantry assaults, the Canadians quickly secured the hill on the first day and made ready for German counter-attack. The Germans conducted numerous counter-attacks over the next 10 days, using mustard gas shells and flamethrowers for the first time. Despite the fury of the German attacks and huge Canadian casualties, the Canadian Corps held the hill and won a staggering victory. In total, the corps lost 8,700 casualties to an estimated 25,000 German casualties. The valiant Canadians also won a total of 6 Victoria Crosses in 10 days, one of the highest rates of gallantry ever displayed by any formation in a single battle.
Pachino Day: 10 July 2017
Seventy-four years ago, on 10 July 1943, The Royal Canadian Regiment landed at Pachino in the opening waves of the Allied invasion of Sicily, Operation HUSKY. The regiment was part of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division under the British Army. They fought in several battles as the Division advanced north and then east, towards Messina.
During this operation, The RCR lost both, their commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Marston Crowe and their second in command, Major J. H. Pope. A native of Victoria, BC, Major Pope was killed on 18 July 1943, during an assault near Valguarnera. Born in Guelph, ON, Lieutenant-Colonel Crowe took over command of The RCR just before the regiment set sailed for Sicily. He was killed on 24 July 1943 during a reconnaissance mission around Nissoria.
9 April 2017 @11am: Service at The RCR Cenotaph and Canadian Great War Society A service will be held at The RCR Cenotaph in the parade square at Wolseley Barracks to mark #Vimy100.

Captain C.J. (Cliff) Collison, CD
(1936 – 2017)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cliff Collison, long time devoted museum volunteer, prominent member of The RCR and of The RCR Association. In one capacity or another, Captain Collison has served as a Royal Canadian for the past 60 years.
Captain Collison joined The Royal Canadian Regiment in 1956 as a Private Soldier and served in the 2nd Battalion, The RCR Depot and the 1st Battalion, including a tour in Cyprus. He rose to the rank of Sergeant and was commissioned from the ranks in 1974. He completed officer training and was posted to the CF Leadership Academy in Borden as a Lieutenant. Promoted to Captain he subsequently served in the Special Service Force Headquarters in Petawawa, the Combat Training Center in CFB Gagetown and as Regular Support Staff with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. In 1985 he was posted to CFB London as the Base Personnel Admin Officer from which he retired in April 1992 having completed 37 years of service.
Upon retirement, Captain Collison served the Regiment as Vice President, followed by President of the Home Station, London and District Branch of The RCR Association. He also served on the National Board of Directors of the Association rising through the positions on the Board to become the Chair, not only once, but for a second time when his services were in dire need. During his first term as Chairman, he represented the Association when the Regiment conducted the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. In his subsequent term he organized the challenging task of moving the National Association Headquarters from London to Petawawa. As Chairman, his positive influence over the Association knew no bounds.
The Royal Canadian Regiment will be 133 years young on 21 December 2016. On this day in 1883, a bill in parliament approved the creation of the first Regular Army unit, the Infantry School Corps. Three companies were formed and located in Fredericton (NB), St-Jean, QC and Toronto, ON. In 1886 a fourth Company was added in London, ON. These four units formed later the Regiment of Royal Canadian Infantry (as of 1896), the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry (as of 1899) and eventually The Royal Canadian Regiment, a name that hasn't changed since 1901.

The Memory Project: 5 Oct 2016, 11am to 1pm
On 10 July 1943, The Royal Canadian Regiment landed at Pachino in the opening waves of the Allied invasion of Sicily, Operation HUSKY. The regiment was part of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division under the British Army. They fought in several battles as the division advanced north and then east towards Messina.
The museum recently acquired an artefact related to the Allied Invasion of Sicily, with special meaning. It is a 9mm Beretta pistol, captured from an Italian Captain during the liberation of the village of Modica (Sicily) on the 12th of July 1943 by Captain (Ret'd) Sheridan Atkinson, member of The Royal Canadian Regiment and one of the museum's dearest friends. The firearm is now on display in our Second World War gallery.

21 Dec 2015 – Happy Birthday The RCR! Happy 132nd Birthday to The Royal Canadian Regiment! On 21 December 1883, a bill in Parliament was approved to establish a professional army unit, the Infantry School Corps. Three companies were located as follows: 'A' Coy in Fredericton (NB), 'B' Coy in St-Jean (QC) and 'C' Coy in Toronto (ON). In 1886, 'D' Coy was added in London (ON). These four units formed initially the Regiment of Royal Canadian Infantry (as of 1896), the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry (as of 1899) and eventually The Royal Canadian Regiment, a name that hasn't changed since 1901. The first infantry regiment within the Canadian permanent force was thus born. 1) 2)

The Ipad requires specific drivers to be loaded to print to specific printers. Those above have them built in directly to connect your Ipad.
Any other routing will require the correct router with the driver built into it. Maybe even a computer with Apple Operating System on it.
Personally...a Direct link to printer situation is be more affordable.
Bought my Epson stylus office BX630FW as it was an air printer and understood from the information given on purchase that it was compatible with the Apple Ipad. From your reply I take out that only HP printers are compatible.
Is there any app that will enable the Epson to print , or is that not possible
Sorry...we kind of have to take a look at the WHOLE PICTURE here --
Your BX 630 seems to be Air Print enabled. So the next step is to make sure your Ipad has the correct Operating system, and your Ipad printer drivers are updated to get it to communicate with your printer.
Hopefully it a direct link capable unit with it's own wireless reciever. I'll have to look and see, but if you only have wireless thru a router, and the router is hardwired using LAN cables...we may have to reroute .
You could have wireless turned off on your printer...that would be one reason you get the "no air printer found" response.
So, knowing how you presently print TO your printer does help verify that possibility.

I have to completely agree. My gut feeling is that the main cause of this may be the GTK toolkit. It's a great library but they need to concentrate I think on two main things: speed and appearance. It still feels sluggish compared to Windows and it just doesn't look quite right or polished as Windows.
In other words, GTK is a great UI library except it's slow and looks bad
Gnome has its own virtual file system driver, for crying out loud ! WTF does a desktop need a file system driver for ?!?

I like how my desktop works pretty well over SFTP/SMB/FTP (and I guess WebDAV but I've never used that) without me caring what protocol the bits are going over. Gnome is a framework in additon to being a desktop.

The desktop doesn't "work over FTP" in the same way that, for instance, you can tunnel your X session over SSH. Basically, there's a layer that allows any resource that can be addressed by a URL to be opened as a file pointer by a KDE app.

It is a shame, however, that the default desktop and apps that most new linux users experience are so slow.

That's why Windows is so silky smooth when it comes to moving and resizing windows and overall graphical responsiveness - no userspace graphical process can compare to the priority granted to a kernel process.That would make sense, but the UI more responsive for me under KDE+Linux than it is under Windows XP with all the effects turned off (HP XE4400 - 1.8ghz pentium 4, 1024MB ram, ATi mobility LY).

Look, I have a few pentium 2/3 laptops here with barely any RAM. I use them as thin x11 clients (under a compressed SSH tunnel over a wi-fi network) to a Athlon 64 server running a distro of Linux.
They're far more responsive than my Pentium 4 laptop (HP XE4400) which runs linux on it's own. They are also far more responsive than running windows on them too, faster than even running just the remote desktop cient.
I don't think X is the particular problem.
I love Linux, and I wish it all the success in the world, but it just doesn't feel as snappy to me as windows 2000/XP. Seems like lost mouse-clicks and slow window redraws are a large part of the problem. Perhaps the problem lies with X, or with my own warped sense of perception... who knows?
Seems to me it lies at your side, because lost events and slow redraw is something I experience frequently in Windows 2000, and never in Linux. And I regularly use an old 180 MHz PC with Linux.

We have had quite different experiences. I have used both Windows (2000/xp), and Linux (a variety of distros) on multiple computers, from a PII with 256 mb ram to an Athlon XP 2500 with a gig of ram, and every time I have found Windows to be noticeably snappier. Applications start up faster, the windows move more smoothly, and the mouse-clicks seem more... reliable.

But its main drawback is that when something goes wrong, you are screwed unless you know Fvwm very well, and this is not something easy to achieve (for those who don't know Fvwm, just look at the man page [fvwm.org].

Sensing a market rebound, Southworth buildng again in The Weirs
- Published in Local News
LACONIA — Signaling its growing confidence in the real estate market, Southworth Development LLC , the managing developer of Meredith Bay at The Weirs, plans to add a mid-rise building to its growing inventory along either side of Scenic Road.
North Lodges at Meredith Bay is planned on a 6.7-acre lot at the foot of Brickyard Mountain across Scenic Road from the Town Homes at Meredith Bay, which line the shoreline northward from Look Out Rock. The four-story building will house 24 two-bedroom condominium units, six on each floor. Three elevators serving the building will open directly into each of the six units. Chris Duprey, project executive for Southworth Development, anticipated the units would be brought to market in 2014 and priced "beginning in the low $400,000s," noting that the price with vary with the choice of optional features.
In 2010, Southworth began building the Town Homes, 19 two-bedroom town houses on three levels with garages, divided among five buildings along the shoreline. Duprey said that 11 of the have been sold or are under contract. At the same time, the Planning Board approved plans for three mid-rise buildings on the other side of Scenic Road, known as the Lodges at Meredith Bay. Like the North Lodges each of these buildings would house 24 condominium units on four-stories. Construction of the Lodges, which requires extensive site work, has not begun.
Meanwhile, Duprey expects the pace of sales at Meredith Bay, the 129-lot gated community atop Brickyard Mountain, to quicken. He said that 32 of the 129 lots have been sold, most of them since Southworth Development acquired a significant stake in the project in 2007. He said that prospective buyers are seeking to purchase homes rather than lots and there are currently two model homes at the the site.
Duprey stressed that with the construction of the North Lodges Southworth Development will diversify its inventory to include single-family homes and house lots at Meredith Bay, townhouses on three levels at the Town Homes and condominiums on one level at the North Lodges. He said with the completion of the three remaining mid-rise buildings, which have not been scheduled for construction, development the firm's shorefront properties would be virtually complete, leaving space only for a few single-family homes or duplexes.

Although 2012 turned out to be an off year for RF power amplifiers and
devices for wireless infrastructure the market still held its own. The
current year should be viewed as a breathing space before both segments
resume stable and moderate growth after an explosive 2011.
The Asia-Pacific Region, including Japan, continues to account for over
75% of the RF power semiconductor devices that are sold into the mobile
wireless infrastructure segment. According to research director Lance
Wilson, "For the foreseeable future the Asia-Pacific region,
particularly China, will remain the most important region and focus for
RF power amplifiers and high-power RF devices for wireless
Despite the off year RF power amplifier sales for wireless
infrastructure will top $2.4B and RF power device sales will be over
LTE (News - Alert) will become an increasingly important factor in both of these
businesses even though the rollout has not been as rapid as the industry
would like. Nevertheless, it is already worldwide in scope. "Although
LTE has not significantly impacted RF power amplifier and device sales
as of yet," says Wilson, "it is going to bolster RF power sales in the
wireless infrastructure space from 2012 on."
The continuing verall need for wireless data remains an important
driver for the overall market for both RF power amplifiers and RF power

We expect to see many, many new devices at Mobile World Congress when the show kicks off next week, but just in case your excitement level for the big show isn't already at its maximum level, HTC is here to help pump you up a bit more. The company has posted the image you see above on its official Facebook page, showing a sideways HTC device with the number "5" inside of it. The tagline for the image? "This Sunday you'll discover something fast."
For the unaware, it's worth noting that the folks at HTC are holding a press event on Sunday, which just so happens to be five days away from today. The ol' rumor mill has suggested that the HTC One X (Edge/Endeavor) and HTC One S (Ville) could be present at the shindig, and there's a chance that the One V (Primo) could also peek its head out. Could there be something else at the event that the 5 on this teaser is alluding to, perhaps like a total of five new devices that'll be shown? It's possible. Thankfully we've got less than a week to wait until we're at the event where all will be revealed. If you'd like to make a guess as to what you think HTC has up its sleeve for MWC, we've got a comments section below that's the perfect place to do just that.

In his time, Dick Clark might have been the most popular person in America.
Clark, who will be honored during Sunday's Daytime Emmy Awards, understood television as a personal medium, and he devised a successful recipe for programming that not only became the foundation of his career but also kept him welcome in America's living rooms for close to half of a century. Not insignificantly, it's a recipe that is still cooking for others, such as radio and TV personality Ryan Seacrest.
"When (Dick Clark) was on 'American Bandstand,' you thought he was talking to you. He was intimate, and he was relaxed," says longtime Dick Clark Prods. exec producer Barry Adelman, who was hired by Clark in the 1980s. "I don't care how old you were: If you were the parent, the kid, someone who was hipper about the whole thing and wanted to just look in on it, you felt like he was talking to you. That was his strength as a performer and his strength as a producer. He understood the intimacy, the immediacy, and he treated everyone — including the audience — as an equal."
But personality alone doesn't build a franchise, launch spinoff programming ("The Dick Clark Show," "Where the Action Is," "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve") or enable a company to continue to thrive on the pulse of modern interest via Fox and DCP's "So You Think You Can Dance."
"(Clark) separated himself as an iconic personality in order to produce the show he was a part of," says Adelman, "and make the decisions as a producer that would affect the show and its performance, as did other entrepreneurs in the early days of television."
Establishing brand recognition was another ingredient. "Very early on he understood the value of a brand," Adelman adds. "As a show's producer, image and making everything that you produce or are associated with reflect that brand or image keeps a brand strong."
Clark thinks humbly about his 33-year role as host, producer and visionary of "American Bandstand," where his work was hugely impacted by the arrival of videotape, something Clark calls "the most important invention that occurred during my stay in television." Clark preferred to execute a more professional show by taking advantage of taped performances.
"(Videotape) gave us all a little extra time to enjoy our work and assure that we deliver a tidy performance, without having to do battle with the live aspect of the medium," he says.
While his work was applauded in ratings and endurance, the nod from the Daytime Emmys is a meaningful honor for Clark.
"In all the years that 'American Bandstand' was on the air, it received very few awards or acknowledgments," recalls Clark. "Being part of a program that lasted almost 40 years sounds kind of special to me. I would look upon 'American Bandstand's' longevity as some sort of (personal) achievement."
For its tribute, the kudocast plans to use archival footage of "Bandstand," a hot commodity Clark long ago had the foresight to keep track of. Unlike other shows of the day that suffered lost, damaged or destroyed footage, Clark kept a collection of his library as the exclusive property of his company, which was a major asset of DCP when he finally sold it in 2007, fetching $175 million.
The archive has since been digitalized, helping it continue as a touchstone for future generations of youth and dance programming and famous signoffs. "For now, Dick Clark?…"

Urimbirra Wildlife Park Experience
Upon arrival you will be given a park map. The paths take you up nice and close to the enclosures. Be sure to follow your map, and signs located around the park so you won't miss anything.
The name Urimbirra is an Aboriginal word meaning 'to preserve' or to 'take care of'. With over 400 Australian native animals, and over six hectares of wetland bird sanctuary, Urimbirra gives you the chance to see more than 70 species of Australian animals in their natural surroundings.
You will also see an Aboriginal Canoe Tree which was carved 1000's of years ago.
A main attraction is getting up close to meet our beautiful Koalas every day at 11am, 2pm and 4pm. The keeper will invite you in to pat them and fill you in on fun facts and information. Do you know how long Koalas sleep for every day?
Every year 100's of sick, injured or orphaned animals are treated and cared for at Urimbirra. Our aim is to treat, recuperate and return them back to the wild. One of our fellow residents Percy the Pelican was unable to return home due to severe injuries. He is very good at catching fish in his bill and eats 12 fish a day. No wonder he is a big boy!
Enjoy your visit to one of South Australia's most exciting tourist attractions. Bring a picnic for lunch or use our free BBQ.
Don't forget to grab a bag of Kangaroo food at the Gift Shop. You can hand feed the kangaroos all day. They are super friendly and will be happy to see you for a pat or a scratch or something to eat.

Have you ever had a magickal experience that you thought was rather funny? Like your will manifested itself in unexpected ways, something blew up, and so on.
I bring this up because I did a spell a while back to keep unwanted people out of my room. It worked very well, no one came in without my permission, but it worked by making my room have this disgusting rotting smell. I undid it, and it stopped smelling immediately, but now people can enter my room without consequence.
Any amusing anecdotes you'd like to share?

Strap in for journey of twists, turns and nerve-jangling drama
Beale's errant boot swung opener Gatland's way, but cool heads will decide series
It would appear that the next two weeks are not going to be easy on the nerves of the rugby-loving population. And even more demanding on the bodies of the players involved in this Test series.
On the opening day of what is going to be an epic for those that can stand the strain, Australia came off terribly in the injury stakes, losing Christian Leali'ifano within a minute, his replacement Pat McCabe not long after half-time, his original fellow centre Adam Ashley-Cooper and the utility back, Berrick Barnes, here chosen as a full-back.
The Wallabies, in one game, went through an entire cast of midfielders.
Their losses left them with a hole to plug. Michael Hooper, the openside wing forward, was a makeshift member of the defence that was parted by Alex Cuthbert, with a little bit of help from a blocking run from Brian O'Driscoll. The wing's try put the Lions 20-12 ahead and solidly in command.
The tourists had scrummaged well and had been secure if not adventurous at the lineout. Tom Youngs, the hooker, had been precise going short to Tom Croft and Jamie Heaslip with his throws, and had been immense with his tackling. George North had scored a one-man gem of a try, taking a long kick from Barnes and returning it with a vengeful strength that left McCabe, James O'Connor and Barnes in the wing's wake.
On the Australian side, in the few moments when they were not watching one of their own being carted off, there was Will Genia and Israel Folau, the guiding light at scrum-half and the bright new star on the wing. Genia was full of tricks, half a step ahead of his opposite number, Mike Phillips, and Folau scored two tries with a leggy, perfectly balanced insouciance that promises much for the two Tests that remain.
But at 20-12 up, the Lions were in charge. For a minute. They immediately conceded a penalty that O'Connor managed to land. That gave him a success rate of two from five, as compared with Leigh Halfpenny's three from four at that stage. The teams were level on tries, all scored by wings, but the Lions had their full-back, as safe on the soft surface of the Suncorp as on a dry carpet. Halfpenny may have been outjumped by Folau on one occasion, the diminutive Welshman yielding to the aerial experience of the giant Folau in Australian Rules, but he was having a game of unflappable excellence.
Australia had, thanks to that last success by O'Connor, clawed their way to within five points. The Lions then started ringing the changes, bringing on Dan Cole and Mako Vunipola for Adam Jones and Alex Corbisiero. The changes were early, at 50 minutes rather than the customary hour.
Heaslip then gave away a penalty for taking out Genia at the breakdown.
The kicking duties on the opposition side were transferred to Kurtley Beale, off the bench for Barnes, a player with a history of concussion, out cold again. Beale, with a history of brain disorder of his own – the influence of the alcohol – was in brilliant form, relaunching his career at this level with a series of runs and passes, and now with his place-kicking.
He landed his first kick and then a second, when Paul O'Connell gave away one of those penalties close to his line, where three points are an acceptable sacrifice. It was a good night for such sinners, because the referee, Chris Pollock, chose not to show any of them a yellow card.
In between the Beale penalties came one from Halfpenny, that put the gap at a paltry two points. It seemed enough because a choke-and-turn tackle by North on Digby Ioane put the Lions in an advantageous position five metres out. The scrum went badly and Genia came away with the ball. Beware the automatic recycling of props, may be one of the lessons of this first Test.
Shortly afterwards, Vunipola was penalised at the breakdown. Lesson underlined. Beale, confident, pumped and without hesitation, stepped forward and pushed his first miss way to the right. The first big let-off.
Then came the last scrum. Australia put on a healthy squeeze and the Lions were penalised. To lose the game at the very situation where they had established an advantage would have been unfortunate, to say the least. Up came Beale again, not far from halfway but more or less in front. As he took back his kicking right boot, his supporting left boot slipped on that soft top and the kick went low and left, and short.
It was a malfunctioning foot that ended it, but it will be heads that decide this series, heads that can sift through the issues of selection and stay calm in the stressful days ahead. May your own nerves survive the journey.

Actually libfl.a provide exactly 2 symbols that are defined if the program lacks them. They are: main(): I doubt you would want a shared library to provide a simple-minded main() function ? yywrap(): whose code is int yywrap (void) { return 1; } So if you are to write a library that include a flex scanner, all you have to do is to prvide your own yywrap() function, even if it is just return 1; and you won't need to link with libfl.a. Actually I always advise to provide main() and yywrap(), this way the C file generated by flex can be compiled on a host where libfl.a is not available. libfl.a is only useful if you want quickly write and run a flex script without writing the main loop. But people tend to use perl for that nowadays. Cheers, -- Bill. <email@example.com> Imagine a large red swirl here.

Examine the similarities between Mubarak and Macbeth with reference to their wives' influence upon them.
- print Print
- list Cite
The most evident point of similarity between both rulers is their centralized notion of power. Mubarak was the primary power broker as he ruled Egypt while Macbeth operated in the same capacity. They both enjoyed the benefits of ruling without much in way of formidable opposition or limitations. Yet, in looking at the roles their wives played in their exercise of power, I sense a fundamental difference.
Lady Macbeth was instrumental in the ascendancy of her husband. In the initial stages, what he lacked, she demonstrated. His reticence was matched with her defiance. She was able to move him into a position of power, something that she coveted just as much as he did. She was critical in his ascension and envisioned herself as being able to rule just as much as he did. Suzanne Mubarak does not seem to play that much of a role in her husband's ascent to power. She was focused more on social justice in her studies and her advocacy for such causes was extended when she became First Lady of Egypt. Mubarak did not demonstrate a reticence towards taking power. There are plenty of accounts that suggest Mubarak had some type of role in the assassination of his predecessor, Anwar Sadat. Very little mention exists that Suzanne Mubarak had a role in the ascent to power. Additionally, Suzanne Mubarak operated more as a traditional wife to her husband, marrying him when she was 16. There was quite a long gap between his ascent to power and their marriage, indicating that unlike Lady Macbeth, she was not geared towards manipulating her husband into the real of political power as they were married. While there is much evidence to indicate that she economically profited from her time in office as First Lady, she does not seem to possess that manipulative and fierce drive behind her husband's rise to power as Lady Macbeth possessed.

A couple of questions to chew on this week:
If you can watch a game from the Swedish Elitserien, Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, the Swiss National A League or Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga, do you? After all, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Tyler Seguin and many more NHL stars are in action overseas. But how much of a hit does your interest take because they aren't wearing the colors of the Detroit Red Wings or Toronto Maple Leafs or Philadelphia Flyers or whatever your favorite team happens to be?
Personally, it was hard to watch Monday night's Severstal Cherepovets vs. Avangard Omsk game on MSG. It's an interesting alternative, but it was done with North American announcers who were not that familiar with the KHL. Voice-overs from a studio in North America can make the coverage appear not only live, but plausibly in person. Yet whether the announcers are in the press box or the studio, even with the presence of NHL players on international rosters, it would add to the coverage if someone associated with the league was available to tell some colorful stories.
Those of you who are of a certain generation may recall when NBC used to invite local announcers to join the baseball broadcast booth with Curt Gowdy and Joe Garagiola during the World Series. As a result, you'd get anecdotes from people who had followed the clubs all year and they added to the depth and dimensions of the coverage. So, does lack of familiarity on the part of the broadcasters turn you off?
Let me know.
And now, some comments from readers:
It's a wonderful idea, but it isn't possible to unify a large group of people who are as disparate as hockey fans. Since you're from Michigan, I'd say just try to get a Red Wings fan and a Blackhawks fan in the same room to agree on anything. The response to hockey's return -- and let's hope it happens this season -- will be organic. Some fans will stay away because they simply don't care about the game anymore. They will mostly be the potential converts who have been lost to alternatives such as the NBA or college basketball, then baseball (once football season is done). If a fan cares enough to think of proactively boycotting hockey, it means he cares about it enough that he'll be back.
Some people have tied the irrelevance of the All-Star Game to the emergence of the Winter Classic (and, I'd add, the Heritage Classic, too). It's a great point. When I was growing up, the All-Star Game was a fun showcase for the game that created at least some buzz among fans. If your guy played well or even took home the car as MVP, there were serious bragging rights involved. Now the Classic has become not only a moneymaker and a big stage with drama that builds thanks in part to the excellent HBO 24/7 Series, but it has also become a game that truly matters to players.
Take a behind-the-scenes poll of players to see how many would skip the All-Star Game if they could. Then ask how many would not want to play in the Classic. The advent of NHL players participating in the Olympics has also made the All-Star Game less important. No matter what he does for the rest of his NHL career, Sidney Crosby's most memorable goal will be the one he scored for Canada to beat the U.S. in overtime and win a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. He could score a thousand All-Star goals and none would have the same resonance or importance.

started her fight anew today.
The fight has just begun," said
Mrs. Littleton and in this statement
she was emphatically Joined by Con
gressman Henry, chairman of the
House Rules Committee, whose spe
cial rule to make the Monticello
resolution privileged was beaten' in
the House late yesterday by a vote
of 141 to 101.
Debate Was Spirited.
The vote was taken following a splr
tted debate In which those In favor of
the project called upon Congressman
Levy, owner of Monticello, "to respond
to public sentiment end turn Monticello 1
over to this nation, that Its people may
worship at the shrine of Jefferson."
Mr. Levy sat nervously In his seat, but
took no part tn the debate, although his
friends announced for him that Monti
cello was not for sale at any price.
Members opposed to the acquisition of
Monticello said the resolution for the
appointment of a commlttes'to Investi
gate the desirability of acquiring the!
place really meant a step toward con
fiscation, as the owner would not scU.
"t cannot believe that the American
Congress will vote to override In this
matter the rights of Its private cltl
xelis," shouted Mr. Dalxcll. of the
Rules Committee, who led the tight
against the Henry resolution.
Members Opposed Rule.
Congressmen Dalxell. Moore of Penn
sylvania, Saunders of Virginia, and
Johnson of Kentucky opposed the spe
cial rule and Mrs. Littleton's project, and
Congressmen Henry, James, Clayton,
and Stanley were among the eloquent
defenders of the plan.
The defeat of the special rule virtual
ly kills the legislation during the short
session, as the Monticello bill now re
mains on tho regular calendar and can
not be reached because of the. pressure
of Other bills. It must be repassed In
the new session. After the vote showed
a setback for Mrs. Littleton, Congress
man Henry said:
"I am now more determined than ever
to honor tho memory of Jefferson by
acquiring Monticello, and even resort
tng to the right of eminent domain If
necessary. I shall stand with that
brave little, woman. Mrs. Martin W.
Littleton, In her courageous right In this
righteous cause. The fight has just bo
gun." Congressman Lew Issued a statement
In which he thanked his colleagues for
supporting his sldo of the controversy,
but said he did not regard It as a "per
sonal victory." Ho reiterated his state
ments that Monttcello Is well preserved,
that the American people may visit tho
tomb of Jefferson "without paying fee,"
and that Monticello. under private own
ership, haB been more available to tho
public than Mt. Vernon.
Mrs. Littleton's Statement.
In part, Mrs. Ltttleton said:
"I am not discouraged over the vote
which was taken In the House. It was
only the beginning o the fight The
status of that resolution has not been

The Senate will stand pat. It will
take the attitude, as It did last year,
that tree tolls for American ship
ping Is a domestic question,' and one
to be settled without foreign Inter
ference or advice.
State Department Silent.
The protest of the British government
against free Panama canal tolls for
American coastwise shipping resulted
toduy In completely sealing' the mouth
of tho State Department, and It Is ex
pected that the department will take
no action until after It has been com
pletely Informed or tho Intention of the
t'nlted Stutcs Senate, information as
to whether the note would be laid be
fore Congi ess was denied, as well as an
expression of the altitude of the depart

reached a pass where tho major players

Committee on 1-oreign iieiutions ana
later the Senate Itself, will be called

Any uetlon the State Department
might take would bo subject to review

Tift Opposes Interference.

that the United Stutcs has the right

merce us It sees tit. This view. In which
Congress coincides, as exhibited by its
pussago of the free tolls cluusn during

The Senate Is tho real diplomatic
agent of the Unltud States. What it
says Is final; the word of the State
Department, tentative. Whatever Sec
retary of State Knox may determine
upon as a reply to the English note,
the question will be settled-by the
pronouncement of tho United States
Senate, and the attitude of those Sen
ators who have expressed themselves
within the last twelvo hours Indicates
that England will make llttlo head

The formal note of objection to 'a

of Htato Knox last night by James
Bryce, ttmbussador from England, for

tion of the protest made July 8.

The proposed free passage of the

Is a violation of tho Ituy-Pauncefote

this act Kngland Is willing tu submit
the question to arbitration.
Looks to United States.
The United States properly may sub
sidize Its own shipping hy canal favors
providing It does not thereby discrimi
nate against English shipping.
The United Stales cannot properly ap
ply to English-owned vessels the laws
passed to break up combinations bo
tween railroads and wuter traffic.
Kreo tolls to Amorlcun shipping will
forco English shipping to bear more

McCombs Leaves City in Bad
Temper, But Will Name
Men Today.
No Sign came from the Democratic
national commltteo's District head
quarters today to show that Chalr-
mun William F. McCombs of the
Democrat) national committee, had
made his final list of Inaugural com
mittee appointments, although It Is
considered certain that Eldrldge E.
Jordan has been definitely selected
as chairman.
District Committeeman John F.
Costello was around the city on busi
ness today, but his ofllce gave out the
Information that Mr. McCombs had
not made the announcements as he
expected when he left the city yes
terday afternoon In an unpleasant
frame of mind over tho factional dis
putes on the chairmanship and secre
taryship ot the Inaugural committee.
Vick Successful.
Wnlter Vlck. of New York city, secre.
tary of tho national committee, and
seeker ufter the secretaryship of the
Inaugural committee, has ulso left the
city, but his mission Is thought to have
been successful.
It was admitted today by a leader In
the antt-Costello faction that Vlck's po
sition Is undoubtedly secure unless the
expose or !slrdsy causes a shift In
the pinna, Two men. said to be In a
receptive mood on the secretaryship,
are J. W, Childress, a Tennessean, who
has done much work In the District,
and J. Kred Kelley.
Brym Men Opposed.
Mr. McCombs declared In favor of es
tablishing a permanent Democratic na
tional headquarters here, but the plan
Is likely to meet with opposition, be
cause many Democrats feel that It would
be only a Wilson press bureau, shut
ting off William Jennings Uryun's
chunce for leadership, llryuti's backers
will put up a light If there Is any at
tempt to put the plan Into effect,
Tho chances of J. J. Darlington and
Senator Blair I.ee on the chairman
ship plum dwindled yesterday. It wus
suld, and Mr. McCombs decided yes
terday definitely to name Jordan. Roll
ert N. Hurper and William V. Cox,
It Is believed, lire to draw consolation
appointments. If they so desire, but
tr.cro Is little discussion umong tho
Democrats on their candidacy.
Vick "Fight" Amusing.
The fight against Walter Vlck as an
outsider, amused many of the antl-Cos-
tello Democrats last night when they
saw that Mr. Costello denied suggesting
Mr. Vlck's name for tho place, whllo
Mr. Vlck admitted that Mr. Costello
had suggested it.
It leaked out today that Mr. Vlck was
In Washington early In November,
probably to look after the secretary
ship, according to the "Insurgents."
They claim that the alleged "frumeun"
between Costello und him was engin
eered ut that time, but that the actual
candidacy of Mr. Vlck was not called
to the ears of the man In charge, Mr.
McCombs, until last week.

By JUDSON 0. WELLIVER.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.- "We stand for every principle
set forth in our platform; for purging the roll of American
public life by driving out of politics the big bosses who
thwart the popular will, who rely on corruption as a polit
ical instrument, and who serve the cause of privilege. Such
a campaign cannot be expected from any party which is
partly reactionary; and at their best both the old parties are
partly, and they are usually dominantly, reactionary. Jhey
are two organizations maintained to secure special privi
leges and benefits, not to promote causes and principles."
That was Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment of the reasons why the Pro
gressive party must and will hold
Itself aloof from all dickertngs and
dealings with either of the old
parties. And following It he de
clared the new party's ultimatum to
all true Progressives:
"Ultimately all the Progressives
who still cling to the old parties will
have to come to us In order to effect
the needed Improvements In political
conditions. In the efficiency ot gov
ernment, and In financial and Indus
trial standards."
Wildly Cheer Colonel.
Their leader'n keynote of purpose and
absolute Independence was wlldlv
cheered hy the Progressive conference,
as Indeed was his speech throughout.
Tho big audience, representing almost
every State In the Union, had cheered
ull the more prominent leaders us they
had entered the hull: but all this was
only premonitory to the enthusiastic ac
claim with which Colonel Itoosevclt was
greeted when he took the stand to make
the opening oddress, following some In
troductory words by Chairman Dixon.
While declaring that there was only
one course for Progressives and thut
was to come In with the new party.
Colonel lloosevrlt added that it was
nccessarv to democratise the financial
support of the organisation. He did
not object to large contributions. If thev
are given with good motives.
Motive Real Test.
"The real test Is tho motive, not the
size," he added. Hut none the less he
insisted that "the broader we make the
basis of our dues-paying membership,

SpecUc On Trusts.
Concerning the general development
of anti-trust policy. Colonel Roosevelt
was particularly specific. He declared
that the Sherman law will remain on
the hooks, and be strengthened by pro
hibiting division of territory or limiting
of output; "hy putting a stop to stock
watering, prohibiting a refusal to sell
to customers who buy from business
rivals, by prohibiting the custom of
selling helow cost In certain areas while
maintaining higher prices In other areas,
by proTibttlng the use of the power of
transportation to gain or Injure busi

these and all other unfair practices.

Getting two wins in District 2-5A play in its first two tries was anything but perfect for Monterey. But considering how long it took to get those two wins last year, head coach Todd Person can accept some mistakes.
The Plainsmen might not have clinched a playoff spot Thursday night, but they took a giant step forward in the pursuit of a second straight postseason appearance. Monterey's offense turned in another solid effort, and in the process of it all earned a win over its chief rival, outlasting Coronado 35-24 at Lowrey Field.
The win pushes the Plainsmen to 4-3 overall, but more importantly, to 2-0 in District 2-5A with three games remaining, including its toughest stretch of the district race with Amarillo and San Angelo Central in the next two weeks.
"It's a completely different feel (from last year)," head coach Todd Pearson said. "But once again, it's one of those things where (today) it's back to the grind again and we have to get it going again because we've got another one coming up against a good football team."
Last season, the Plainsmen didn't get their second district win until the final week of the regular season, then had to wait for another game to finish to decide their playoff fate. This season, they appear determined to control their own destiny, and that meant avenging a one-point loss to the Mustangs (0-7, 0-2) from last season.
Byron Parker had another outstanding night, rushing for 179 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Tanner Maloney added 113 yards and a pair of scores as Monterey took control on the first play of the second quarter and never trailed.
All the scoring in the game came in the second and fourth quarters as Monterey led 21-10 at halftime and by as much as 35-10 in the fourth quarter before Coronado came storming back with two quick touchdowns.
"Very strange," Pearson said. "I think a lot of that was just good adjustments on both sides. Credit (Kent) Jackson and his staff had the Mustangs ready, they played well and came out to win a football game and gave us all we could handle. I'm not sure we could handle much more."
Coronado, meanwhile, is denied its first win of the season but put out its best offensive effort of the season, finishing with a season-high in points and with 291 yards total offense, well above its season average.
Thanks mostly to a hurry-up offense that had Monterey on its heels at times, backup quarterback Trenton Jackson rushed for 138 rushing yards and a touchdown, and the Mustangs scored touchdowns 21/2 minutes apart to pull to within 11 with just over 4 minutes remaining in the game.
But it would be as close as the Mustangs would get as their final drive stalled out at midfield as the game ended, and Coronado now finds itself on the opposite end of the playoff spectrum, facing possible early elimination.
"We did some good things down the stretch, I just wish we'd been able to do them a little sooner and contain their stuff right up the middle," Jackson said. "We saw a lot of positive things, but we've got a lot of work to do and not much time to pout about it.
"Hopefully we can use this to spring some momentum into our next two games and find a way into (the playoffs) as well. (Monterey has) set itself up and hopefully we can use this to build our way into it."
Leading 28-10, Monterey turned a muffed kickoff into a 4-yard touchdown run by Parker to make it a 35-10 game with 7:34 remaining. Using the hurry-up offense, the Mustangs came back and scored quickly, getting a 1-yard touchdown run from Jackson just two minutes later.
Plainsmen back Travon Benton then fumbled on the very first play of the ensuing drive, with Walter Owens falling on it at the Coronado 49. Five plays later, Tre Scott scored his second touchdown of the game from 5 yards out to cut the lead to 35-24 with 4:04 remaining.
Coronado forced a Monterey punt on the next series, but the Mustangs saw the drive end at midfield as time expired.
"We were able to get enough of a handle on it to keep it to where we had a chance in the end," Pearson said. "If we'd had another quarter to go, who knows? They started to move the football really well."
Monterey led 21-10 at halftime thanks to a pair of touchdown runs by Maloney of 1 and 28 yards. Coronado counted with a 27-yard Calvin McNelly field goal and a 7-yard run by Scott, but just as he did last week, Parker ripped off a huge run right before half, going 62 yards for the score with 2:09 left in the second quarter.
Monterey finished with 338 yards, all on the ground as Maloney attempted just one pass, and that came after the muffed kickoff that resulted in an incompletion.
