Magic City Morning Star - Katahdin, Maine
Such legislation comes as a refreshing surprise, since the US Supreme Court struck down a Nebraska partial birth abortion ban in June of 2000, in the case of Stenberg vs. Carhart. That case was struck down primarily because it did not provide an exception for the health of the mother.
According to Father Frank Pavone, who heads the pro-life group, Priests For Life (www.priestsforlife.org), he asked the attorney representing the pro-abortion side of the argument in that case if any evidence existed to show that the health or life of the mother would be an issue in partial birth abortion. The lawyer admitted that there was no such evidence. The court's decision remained anyway. I also distinctly recall a live US Senate debate once on CSPAN between Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), in which Sen. Santorum cited a study from the medical school at Northwestern University in Sen. Durbin's state of Illinois, that there is no such sound medical reason for the sake of the mother to perform a partial birth abortion. I recall similar claims being made in debates in the House of Representatives. I believe I also recall hearing Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), himself a practicing doctor who has performed 4,000 deliveries in his practice, state the same fact. Father Pavone also interviewed Dr. Martin Haskell, who claimed to have performed 700 abortions and wrote a 1992 paper on the procedure for a risk management seminar for the National Abortion Federation in 1992. Dr. Haskell also confirmed that no sound medical reason exists to perform a partial birth abortion for the sake of the mother. Dr. Haskell also cited in his paper on the procedure that in 80% of the cases, partial birth abortion was "elective," that is to say, decided for reasons other than the health of the mother. Despite these statements and those of similar support from other doctors, proponents of partial birth (or "live birth abortion") now are stretching the issue to include the mental health of the mother in terms of mental anguish, depression, etc, not necessarily life threatening conditions. These same proponents also continually try to stifle the staggering amount of documented information pertaining to the physical and mental negative affects of women who have had an abortion. The South Dakota legislation is inclusive of all forms of abortion, and with the health exception included in the language of the bill.
Already, the pro-abortion faction is moving into action. They are utilizing the same tactics from the same tired, old, playbook. These proponents, who mask their cause with warm fluffy euphemisms like "choice," "women's health," and "reproductive rights," are making the redundant claims that women will have to travel further to abortion mills, and may again be subject to self imposed and highly dangerous abortion procedures. So often these same proponents who often, but not always, are from the left invoke the impactful talking point of "the children" in so many other issues, yet couldn't care less about "the children" on the abortion issue. With more willing parents than babies to match to, pregnant women do not have to resort to driving far distances or self-imposed abortion attempts. Somehow, the adoption issue is never on the table with this faction. Many organizations like Planned Parenthood have been alleged to refuse to report cases of child rape, on behalf of their underage clients, impregnated by adults. Such organizations also go out of their way to not mention alternatives to abortion, such as pro-life organizations like Birth Right, which will give support, in terms of food, clothing, counseling, etc.. to indigent mothers. It is also such pro-abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood that fight the showing sonograms of fully developed babies in the wombs to their mothers who are contemplating aborting them. So much for "the children." The only "planning" Planned Parenthood does is to "plan" infanticide, the dirty and very real word which that organization avoids at all costs.
Supposedly, there is a connection between the abortion faction and those promoting embryonic stem cell research, which is erroneously, if not falsely, attributed to providing potential cures for some chronic diseases and afflictions. Potential cures have been attributed to adult stem cell research, which does not take conceived life, like embryonic stem cell research. One leading scientist in embryonic stem cell research, Dr. Hwang Woo-suk, of South Korea, has already had much of his allegedly fabricated findings of potential cures debunked, and is being investigated for the alleged forged research and false claims.
Since the controversial 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade, an estimated 42 million babies have been aborted, a much higher figure than previous estimates, as many women now use the procedure repeatedly as a means of birth control. From there, we have seen the advent of partial birth abortion, and as exposed by pro-life hero, Jill Stanek, a nurse from (ironically) Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL, babies slated for abortion are often induced to birth prematurely, and left uncared for to die in what is called "live birth abortions." In these cases, the cause of death on the death certificate is often "premature birth," despite the fact that the premature birth was induced. In a Nov. 15, 1999 article by Frank York on World Net Daily (www.wnd.com), entitled, "Fetal Profits Promotes Partial Birth Abortions," a revolting report cited babies who survived live abortions were drown in a pan of saline so that their fresh body parts could be harvested for research. This was one of many such articles on the ghoulish multi-million dollar industry. Abortion is like any other political issue, it starts out small, and expands gradually. Such is the point of the riddle: "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: "One bite at a time."
Abortion proponents also frequently cite "women's rights," or "reproductive rights." Rights stop at the point at which they endanger someone else's life, the foremost right of all. I have the right to free speech, but not to exercise a twisted sense of humor by falsely yelling, "Fire!" in a dark and crowded movie theater. During his questioning of then Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, Doctor and Senator Tom Coburn, (R-OK), mentioned in his statement that we now know that babies in the womb can feel pain at 12 days after being conceived. Dr. Coburn also questioned the rationale that any practicing doctor must certify the absence of both a heartbeat and brain waves before pronouncing a person dead, yet no such standard applies to a doctor performing any kind of abortion, in which the baby still has both functions. It is irrefutable that women most certainly have a say in "their bodies," and in their "reproductive rights." However, that "right" to an abortion, falsely created by Roe vs. Wade, ends at the taking of another human life, which is to say, the baby, not the fetus. With our newly increased knowledge of life from studying DNA, there is now more evidence from scientists to support what religious leaders have known and stated all along, life begins at conception. Abortion is murder. Appropriately, the proposed South Dakota law makes it a crime for any doctor (those medical professionals who swear an oath that includes, "First, Do No Harm..") to perform an abortion, unless the mother's life was endangered.
I will take South Dakota's law one step further. Like it or not, more than ample documentation proves that our nation was founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs and principles, not necessarily any specific denomination. Thus, the erroneous and unconstitutional "separation of church vs. state" argument would not apply, even if it were valid. In criminal law, (at least in my state), duress is not a valid reason to murder. In other words, if someone holds a gun on you, gives you a knife, and tells you to stab the other person standing next to you or you will be shot, you are guilty of murder if you stab that innocent person. Based on that principle, how can the endangered health of the mother justify the taking of another innocent human life, that is to say, the baby? This is the reason why several faiths prohibit abortion, even under this scenario. The belief is that it is best to allow the birth to occur naturally, without human interference, while simultaneously trying to protect the lives of both mother and child. The rest is up to God and His wisdom. However, that requires faith, a taboo in the current and morally relative American lexicon. I know what many of you are thinking, "Easy for him to say - a man." Yes, I suppose that is true, but I didn't make that rule, God did, so take it up with Him. Besides, what loving mother would not run into a burning building to rescue her baby from a fire? So then why is it so preposterous to accept the notion that childbirth is a dangerous and risky endeavor, as it always has been?
Actions speak louder than words. In our present day society, what does it say about us, when we wantonly kill our most innocent and vulnerable for no better excuse than lack of want or convenience? Some federal laws impose severe fines and possibly even imprisonment for disturbing the eggs of certain protected and endangered species of birds and other animals. How can rampant human infanticide be not only legal, but seemingly in vogue? We extend more protection of rights to convicted prison inmates and animals than we do the unborn. Talk to any person who survived a planned abortion because his or her mother changed her mind at the last minute, and ask what "choice" the survivor would have picked, given the opportunity. At what point do we remove the last masking vestige of trendy, cowardly, hypocritical political correctness and reveal the underlying and genuinely barbaric and literal butchering of babies that too many have camouflaged and defended for far too long?
The pro-abortion crowd also cites instances of rape and incest to justify abortion. Why should the innocent and defenseless baby be slaughtered because of the wrongdoing of his or her father? These advocates also cite that in cases of rape and incest, the issue expands to the father's parental rights. Change the criminal code! Deny parental rights to the father in both circumstances, and make impregnation by either means a life sentence without parole. A death sentence for the perpetrator would not be justifiable if the victim wasn't killed, and any sentence less than life without parole would give the father a chance to be later released and then able to harass and threaten both mother and child. Given the adequate protections for both mother and child from faith and improved law, abortion need not be an option. Those guilty of rape and incest are predators, and society has a right to be protected from them. As the mother is victimized in such cases, and her life forever altered from this intrusive crime, so then should the life of the accused and convicted father also be drastically altered, with permanent incarceration without hope for release.
I know that some of you may be taking umbrage to my usage of the term, "pro-abortion." Too bad. While I know that you are morally dishonest enough and lacking of confidence and conviction to label and define what you really mean, what "choice" are you talking about? The mother had the "choice," barring a case of rape, to not have sex or to take more precaution, and Heaven forbid, to not have sex outside of the prescribed boundaries of marriage. The mother had a choice. There once was a time in which actions went beyond a now obsolete term called "the point of no return." Such a mind-set is now barely visible, as no one any longer wishes to assume personal accountability for his or her actions, and every poor "choice" must now have an out-clause, no matter how heinous. In short, "Do it if it feels good," and "The ends justify the means." In most cases, the mother did have a choice, but she chose the wrong one. The baby never has any choice at all. The entire inception of the abortion movement was based on alleged "choice," so that impregnated women in abusive relationships or in financial duress could have an "out-clause" to preserve their marriage or be saved from a beating. Yet, no evidence has shown such to be the case. Spousal abuse is now epidemically prevalent, and according to Dr. Robert Shaw, in his book, "Epidemic," abuse is now even increasing among dating teenagers. Divorce is now at about 50% in our country, and now, men are as demanding for abortion as women, so that they will not have to be accountable for their negative behavior. As usual, such liberal, utopian theories that usurp years, decades, and even centuries of established moral codes of decency are at the very least, just hot air, and at the very most, another corrosive to our already drastically eroding, sordid culture. Meanwhile, a ministry within the Catholic Church known as "Project Rachel" offers grief counseling to suffering mothers and fathers, after enduring the all too common post-abortion emotional trauma that occurs when a woman exercises "choice" for her "reproductive rights." (Hush - you're not supposed to know about that!) Abortion is also a significant factor of our diminished and ever shrinking western culture, now literally at a "point of no return," due to significantly decreased procreation.
On November 5, 2003, President Bush signed into law a ban on partial birth abortion. While this bill only addressed partial birth abortion, unlike the South Dakota bill, which addresses all abortions, the President's bill was a small step, but nevertheless a step in the right direction. However, within less than five months after the bill was signed and it's ink barely dry, court trials contesting the ban were beginning in New York, California and Nebraska. Many pro-lifers now pin their hopes on Roe vs. Wade being overturned, due to the recent appointments of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito to the Supreme Court. I am more skeptical. I watched the nomination hearings of both men, and did some reading about them as well. Chief Justice Roberts gave me cause to question his pro-life stance, based on his statement to Judiciary Chairman Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), that Roe vs. Wade was "settled law." For his part, Justice Alito has previously ruled in favor of abortion in some cases in the lower courts, in spite of his alleged "pro-life credentials, so often touted by many on the right. To effectively overturn Roe vs. Wade, one more pro-life justice should be appointed. With that in mind, it is highly doubtful that any of the pro-abortion faction of the bench will retire before the 2008 presidential election, although, I would be very happy if I am proven wrong in that prediction.
Many on the right are seeking a fast and easy solution, like putting the definitive decision of the abortion issue into the jurisdiction of the individual states. I disagree with that idea. While I am a strong supporter of states' rights, and the 10th Amendment, abortion is the taking of innocent human life, thus it is a civil rights issue. Was it a civil rights issue when the FBI took charge of the murder investigation of civil rights workers in Mississippi in the early 1960's? Yes it was, and this is a civil rights issue, too, and thus a federal, not a state matter.
If science, religion, and common sense can all agree that life does begin at conception, then abortion is denied by our Declaration of Independence, which states, "..We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Also, the 4th Amendment denies unreasonable searches and "seizures." (Presumably, even seizures of a defenseless, innocent baby from what was previously the protective, and safe womb.) The 5th Amendment denies any person from being deprived of life without due process of law. Even murderers get a trial before sentencing or execution. When do aborted babies get their "day in court"? The 8th Amendment denies "cruel and unusual punishment." Considering how first trimester and partial birth abortions are performed in babies over 12 days old, (Research it for yourself. Trust me, it is graphic, and gruesome.) I would call such procedures outright torture, which no adult of sound mind and the ability to defend his or herself would willingly ever be subject to. The 14th Amendment, which the pro-abortion crowd hangs their hat on to protect women, can be equally applied to protect babies. It states, like the 5th Amendment, that no person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property, but expands that prohibition to the states, in addition to the federal government. In one of the world's youngest, yet most advanced nations, which in it's 200 + year history, fought a revolution to be free from tyranny, a civil war to be free from slavery, and two world wars to be free from domination, it astounds me that we still continue to take and forsake the most significant liberty of life from our most innocent, and vulnerable with such incessant regularity and callous impunity. Is this still the same United States of America, the champion and pinnacle of freedom and virtue, which I read about in history books?
Civil rights are often invoked by, or on behalf of minorities, such as blacks. Specifically now, in the month of February, dubbed, "Black History Month," we are often reminded about civil rights. Yet, many blacks support the abortion issue, as they tend to march in lock-step with the Democrat Party, which continually preaches "free speech" and "tolerance," while vociferously denying few, if any of its members to be overly vocal on pro-life issues, such as pro-life Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey at the 1992 Democrat Convention. In later years, civil rights activist Rosa Parks championed abortion. She was a member of the Board of Advocates for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Obviously in Rosa's mind, civil rights and diversity ended with blacks, and specifically, adult blacks. That is as tragic as it is ironic because as many as 14 million, or roughly 1/3 of all babies aborted since Roe vs. Wade have been black, as per a February 7, 2005 article by Randy Hall on CNSNews.com, entitled, "Abortion Causes Black Genocide Activists Say." (That is one aspect of black history you typically won't hear about in February!) In fact, Margaret Sanger, who formed the American Birth Control League in the early 1900's, which later became Planned Parenthood, was reputed to herself be a civil rights activist for minorities, despite the fact that she also proposed theories such as eugenics, sterility of minorities, and birth control to allegedly "purify" the white race, in much the same way that Hitler wished to create a "perfect race." Considering how they have been oppressed, blacks should especially be sensitive to civil rights for the unborn, as well as for themselves. But just like how black activists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton see racism everywhere in the US, and create its perceived image where they don't see it, these two concerned "African-Americans" are somehow deaf, dumb and blind to the genocide, famine, oppression, and various other mass atrocities continually befalling blacks in Africa. These two self-appointed leaders of the black community are also noticeably silent regarding the ongoing genocide, here in their own country, of the 14 million of the youngest and most defenseless members of their own race, who need defending more than anyone. Suffice to say that in the history of the past century, the acorn has not fallen far from the tree.
Whiles some notable progress has been made, many disturbing questions remain unanswered for the future of the pro-life cause. The pro-abortion side claims they represent the majority of Americans. The pro-life side claims that they have the majority by slightly more than half. Whatever the true numbers are, one thing is for certain, despite their bravado, pro-abortionists clearly want to keep this issue out of the grasp of the voting public, and for that matter, even away from that voting public's elected representatives. Instead, the pro-abortion crowd prefers to take the dictatorial route, via a legislating from the bench judiciary, or at least, one that once was. Meanwhile, the abortion activists, like many on the left, distort facts, hurl insults, avoid real debate, and replace facts with euphemisms and knee-jerk emotions. In the end, it is those whom they are allegedly defending, who ultimately get hurt, along with the aborted, of course. That's the quirky thing about death; it hasn't yet received the memo that "the point of no return" no longer exits in modern, "progressive" society. On a daily basis, we see less and less hope of that ideal ever returning. But to their credit, some courageous, daring, and moral folks (who some of you call "rednecks") in South Dakota and a few other states might just be beginning to turn that tide real soon, for the benefit of all, including "the children, "and for that matter, all of "the children."

For almost a quarter of a century, I have written the weekly "On Religion" column for the Scripps Howard News Service. Please note my intentional use of the word "column." As a columnist, I write about subjects that are interesting to me and that I think are newsworthy. I strive to quote both sides in heated debates and I always strive for accuracy, of course. That's simply journalism DNA.
However, I am a columnist, not a news-beat reporter. This confuses many readers, in large part because many newspapers across North America run my column with a regular byline, as opposed to using a logo that includes my photograph -- a visual clue that this is a column with a personal angle to it. Also, I have never felt the need to write in first-person voice all the time (although I do so when needed, if I have a personal connection to a specific story or event), which means that my work tends to be rather newsy, rather than openly opinionated.
I bring this up because I have received several emails asking for my response to Mark Oppenheimer's latest "Beliefs" column in the New York Times, the one that ran under the headline, "An Evolving View of Natural Family Planning." That's the one that opens like this:
In August 1999, Bethany Patchin, an 18-year-old college sophomore from Wisconsin, wrote in an article for Boundless, an evangelical Web magazine, that Christians should not kiss before marriage. Sam Torode, a 23-year-old Chicagoan, replied in a letter to the editor that Ms. Patchin's piece could not help but "drive young Christian men mad with desire."
The two began corresponding by e-mail, met in January 2000 and were married that November. Nine months later, Ms. Torode (she took her husband's name) gave birth to a son, Gideon. Over the next six years, the Torodes had four more progeny: another son, two daughters and a book, "Open Embrace: A Protestant Couple Rethinks Contraception."
In "Open Embrace," the Torodes endorsed natural family planning -- tracking a woman's ovulation and limiting intercourse to days when she is not fertile -- but rejected all forms of artificial contraception, including the pill and condoms. The book sold 7,000 copies after its publication in 2002 and was celebrated in the anticontraception movement, which remains largely Roman Catholic but has a growing conservative Protestant wing. As young Protestants who conceived their first child on their honeymoon, the Torodes made perfect evangelists.
That was then, this is now.
So what is the big twist, the news hook that struck many readers are the "good news" celebrated in this Times column about the "evolving" views of this celebrated couple?
In 2006, the Torodes wrote on the Web that they no longer believed natural family planning was the best method of birth control. They divorced in 2009. Both now attend liberal churches. Ms. Patchin -- that is her name once again -- now says she uses birth control, and she even voted for Barack Obama for president.
In other words, saith these readers, reason has triumphed over stupidity and all is right with the real world. The question people have been asking is whether this "story" is, well, good journalism.
The problem, of course, is that this is not a "news story" -- it's a column. It's a column, even though it is basically written in news style and it focuses on half of a subject that could have been covered as hard news. It focuses on the half that is intriguing to the columnist and, one would assume, the kinds of people who read the New York Times.
As a column, it is not balanced. It does not quote people, especially women, who testify about the positive role that NFP has played in their relationships with their husbands. It does not even need to probe the deeper and unexplored questions raised in the piece, such as whether the marriage was in fact shattered by the practice of NFP or disagreements that grew out of it.
Where is the rest of the story? I understand that people want to ask that question, but it's not a question that Times editors have to answer in this case.
Oppenheimer is a columnist. He gets to craft this sad parable the way that he wants to craft it. He gets to frame the debate to favor the views of the people that he views as intelligent and acceptable. And the Times gets to select who it wants as columnists (so does Scripps Howard).
The most frustrating moment for me is found right here:
"Open Embrace" also embraced the view that children stabilize marriage, for "with each child a couple has, their chances of divorce are significantly reduced." So what went wrong for the Torodes, whose children now range in age from 4 to 9?
That's a good question, one the column does not attempt to answer. Also, it's fair game, I think, to note that the column does not offer a quote or two from any evidence that exists to prove that point -- that children stabilize marriages, not destroy them. For a moment, a reader can glimpse a door into a larger subject. Then the door vanishes.
There are other moments that will grate at readers on the other side of this debate. This one hooked me.
Today, neither Ms. Patchin nor Mr. Torode is part of the anticontraception community, nor conservative Christianity. In Nashville, Ms. Patchin, who does accounting work from home, attends a church affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the most liberal of the Presbyterian denominations in the United States. Mr. Torode attends an Episcopal church with a female priest.
Once again, note that traditional believers are always "anti" something, not "pro" something else. It's a frame that helps shape the picture.
Also, as a person who hangs out in Nashville quite a bit, I would note that a PCUSA congregation in that part of the world is not automatically "liberal" and, for all we know, the female priest at that Bible Belt parish may in fact be a charismatic. We don't know, unless Patchin and Torode gave the columnist specific information that is not included in the piece.
The bottom line: This is a column, not a news piece. Readers have to deal with that.
The larger question for me -- in a news business in which opinion is much, much, much cheaper than real news -- is whether more editors are simply saying that religion is, as a subject in daily life in the real world, a matter of mere opinion and not news. In other words, why try to report facts when you are dealing with a subject that is built on, well, "Beliefs" and beliefs alone?

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that the obligation was to show the CPL? In any disclosure situation that doesn't require providing ID (such as a traffic stop), I don't believe that any documents must leave your possession.

49ers announce 20-year, $220M naming rights deal for new Santa Clara stadium with Levi's
SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco 49ers and Levi Strauss & Co have reached an agreement for a $220 million, 20-year naming rights deal for the team's future stadium in Santa Clara.
Levi's CEO Chip Bergh and 49ers CEO Jed York announced the deal Wednesday at Levi's Plaza in San Francisco. While the stadium will be in the heart of technology-rich Silicon Valley, the San Francisco-based apparel company will hold the name: Levi's Stadium.
The upcoming season will be the 49ers' last at historic Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The team is planning to move to the new $1.2 billion stadium, about 45 miles south in Santa Clara and adjacent to the 49ers practice facility, for the 2014 season.
The 49ers are bidding for the Super Bowl in 2016 and 2017 with hopes of landing one.

Krug scores early in OT, Bruins top Penguinsby Matt Kalman
BOSTON -- From now on, whenever anyone asks the Boston Bruins for evidence they're resilient, they have proof.
Less than a minute after allowing the game-tying goal to the Pittsburgh Penguins with 0.3 seconds left in the third period, Torey Krug's overtime goal earned the Bruins a 4-3 victory Monday in a battle of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference at TD Garden.
Krug beat Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury with a slap shot from the right faceoff dot 34 seconds into extra time. The Bruins (16-6-2) are 7-0-2 in their past nine home games, and they have split the first two games of their season series with the Penguins.
The late Pittsburgh goal didn't fluster the Bruins.
"We were OK. We've been through these kinds of situations before," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "And I think the experience of that has helped us out. … We were calm and we just got ourselves ready for the overtime. To me, when you get scored on like that late, it can be devastating for certain teams. But it just made us probably a little hungrier. We went out there and showed some character, and then ended it early."
For the second straight game, Julien employed three forwards and one defenseman during the 4-on-4 overtime. That alignment paid off with a David Krejci game-winner Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes, and again with Brad Marchand setting up Krug to give Boston the win against the Penguins on Monday.
"I mean, it's great. I like it. You're in attack mode; you're trying to win the game," Krug said. "It shows something to us and to the other team that we're trying to win the game. We're not just sitting back content with a shootout. It definitely can be risky at times, but we have the personnel to able to do that."
James Neal scored twice for the Penguins (15-9-1), extending his point streak to four games. It was his fifth multipoint game. Linemate Evgeni Malkin extended his point streak to five games with an assist. The Penguins trailed 2-0 after the first period. They tied the game 2-2 in the third period, only to fall behind again 3-2. They had one more comeback in them.
The Penguins pulled Fleury and coach Dan Bylsma called a timeout after an icing call against the Bruins late in the third. Pittsburgh put the heat on the Bruins until Sidney Crosby buried the equalizer with less than a second on the clock. Chris Kunitz's blind backhand pass went across the slot to Crosby.
"Yeah, I mean it's a good point, but at the same time, I think we got to keep getting better here," Neal said. "We didn't have the first [period] we wanted and we managed to stick around and battle there and get a couple goals deep, and Sid buried that one with a second left, so that's huge going into OT. We thought we deserved a little better, but we can't keep saying that; we got to do it."
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask stopped 28 of 31 shots. Fleury finished with 20 saves.
Zdeno Chara's fifth goal of the season on a wrist shot gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead with 5:15 remaining in regulation. The puck went off Crosby's stick in front before it fluttered past Fleury.
"That wasn't a great play by me to go after it with my stick," Crosby said. "There was nobody in the lane. That's the last thing that the goalie wants you to do, so shouldn't have done that."
Neal had capped the Penguins' comeback from 2-0 down with his second goal of the game at 11:09 of the third period. He one-timed a pass from Jussi Jokinen from the left dot over Rask's shoulder inside the far post.
The Penguins opened the game hot, but had little to show for it. After they failed to score on a power play that started at 4:42 of the first period, they held a commanding 9-1 edge in shots on net. The Bruins, however, outshot the Penguins 4-1 the rest of the way and grabbed a 2-0 lead before the first 20 minutes were over.
Loui Eriksson's first goal in five games put Boston on the scoreboard first. Carl Soderberg rushed the puck blue line to blue line and found Eriksson skating behind Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik. Eriksson gained control of the puck by dragging it between his legs, and then he beat Fleury with a backhand shot through the five-hole at 12:27.
The first power-play goal allowed by Pittsburgh in seven games doubled Boston's lead. Nine seconds after Soderberg drew a hooking call on Pascal Dupuis, the Bruins left wing found Reilly Smith on a backdoor cut that ended with a shot into the top shelf at 15:43.
"Well, I think we were happy about that certainly," Julien said about the early lead. "I think by the end of the first period, we also knew that it wasn't really a 2-0 kind of game and we were fortunate to be up by that many goals. That's not to take the credit away from the goal-scorers, because they were nice goals, but I don't think we came out to a great start in the first half of the first period and then kind of picked up our game a little bit in the second half.
"But overall, it was a tough night. It was a grinding night. Maybe tonight we weren't totally on and we had to work hard to make things happen. Some nights are not as easy as others, and tonight was one of those where we just had to grind it out because the sharpness just didn't seem to be there."
The Penguins went the final 11:33 of the first period without a shot on net. They wasted little time ending that drought, though, and scored on their first shot of the second period at 00:37. Neal got open in the high slot and roofed a wrist shot to cut the Bruins' lead to 2-1.
Pittsburgh had not lost in Boston since Nov. 10, 2009, a stretch of six games. The Bruins and Penguins will meet one more time this season, on Dec. 7 in Boston.
The Bruins are next in action on the road against the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. The Penguins will host the Toronto Maple Leafs that same night.
Bylsma announced after the game that Beau Bennett had surgery on his hand and wrist, and the 21-year-old right wing will be out 8-10 weeks, according to the Penguins' Twitter account.

How Cisco VXI Improves Contact Center Business Processes
In a recent interview, I discussed the importance of prioritizing business processes that have the most impact when deploying virtual desktops. One common business process that can significantly benefit from a virtual desktop delivery model is in customer service. Cisco offers an innovative contact center solution that creates the foundation for positive customer service, resulting in greater customer satisfaction, loyalty and competitive advantage. With the latest release of Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI), we are able to support Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, further improving the benefits to contact centers that are moving to desktop virtualization.
By deploying Cisco Contact Center Enterprise as part of Cisco VXI, IT can now deploy agent desktops, in a virtualized environment with confidence. They can support agents, whether they are working in the office or remotely, reducing maintenance and management costs. With Cisco VXI, agents do not have to sacrifice usability or performance because they have the same, easy to use, next generation, Cisco Finesse desktop on their virtual desktop. In addition, contact center managers can continue to monitor agents across all locations and all desktops, virtual or physical, always knowing who is working at any given time or how quickly calls are being handled. Most importantly, customers can be served quickly and efficiently by agents anywhere without compromising quality, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Cisco VXI allows contact centers to be agile. One customer told me how they use outsourced contact center agents and gauged their performance using service level agreements (SLAs). However, when these SLAs are not met, the customer has a limited set of options because the cost of switching to another outsourcer is extremely high. When virtual desktops are used, the cost, complexity and time required to switch to a new outsourcer is significantly reduced.
This release is the first step to a longer roadmap of enabling virtualized contact centers. As we continue to innovate on the user experience that results in greater ease of use, ease of support and increased productivity, I expect to see contact center agent desktops that are even more unified, more flexible, and more collaborative.
Besides the links above, I encourage you to read the VMware blog to learn how Cisco and VMware are partnering to take the agent desktop into the age of the unified workspace.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

We lost Cy King this week. As Anne Blythe of Raleigh's News & Observer reported in this excellent story yesterday, the veteran progressive activist passed away on Wednesday after a brief illness at age 91.
Would that we could all look back at the end of our days on a life so well and richly lived.
As just about anyone in the Triangle with any connection to the movements for peace and civil liberties or social, economic and political justice can attest, Cy was a ubiquitous force for good. Together with his late wife Carolyn, Cy simply made making the world a better place his life's work.
But beyond his dedication to the cause, Cy was also one of those rare human beings who simply exuded love and decency in everything he did. As Rev. Nancy Petty of Pullen Church told Blythe: "It was always with this gentleness [that he spoke out]. But the gentleness, his compassion, did not water down the passion."
You simply couldn't be with Cy — even for a short time — and not feel better about yourself and life in general. This was especially true if you were employed in the progressive advocacy world. Just seeing the twinkle in his eye and receiving his encouragement was enough to inspire dozens of advocates down through the years to stay true to the fight for peace and justice. I know it was for me and many of my colleagues.
We mourn his loss but will do our best to carry on his gentle but powerful spirit. RIP.

KIEV, Ukraine, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Russia has reportedly declined an invitation by Ukraine to join a meeting of the signatories to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
Under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum -- signed by Russia, Ukraine, the U.S., and the U.K. -- Ukraine is assured of protection from threats or use of force against its territorial integrity or political independence in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.
"On the order of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has appealed to the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum to hold consultations in connection with the intervention by the regular Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis on Tuesday.
The request comes as the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council released an estimate that there are between 10,000 to 15,000 Russian troops and rebels inside Ukraine.
Russia declined, explaining it "sees no reason for any consultations on the implementation of the memorandum," Perebyinis reported.
"We consider Russia's refusal of consultations on the Budapest Memorandum as yet another example of Russia's denial of its obligations and yet another confirmation of a course of action deliberately chosen by its leadership to destroy the current system of international law," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry asserted, adding "Ukraine will continue its efforts to obtain additional security guarantees and to consolidate the international community to counter Russian aggression."

Senior Courtney Testa
BOSTON, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's indoor track and field team produced several strong performances on the second and final day of action at the two-day Open New England Championships at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center Saturday.
For the men, sophomore Chris Perry (Providence, RI/Dighton-Rehoboth HS/BCC) finished fifth in the triple jump at 48 feet, ½ inch, while sophomore Matt Hinthorne (Braintree, MA/Braintree HS) was seventh at 500 meters in 1:05.41. For the women, sophomore Jessica Masse (Somerville, MA/Somerville HS) was ninth in the shot put at 41 feet, 8 ¾ inches, while senior Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) was 10th at 3000 meters in 10:13.74.
"It's the second year in a row Chris has placed in the triple jump, and the second year in a row that Matt has scored in this meet," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "Jessica Masse is rounding into form, this was the best series of throws she has had all season. Courtney continues to improve. Her performance today was a two second improvement over her previous best, which was the Little East Championships."
The Corsairs will return to action at the Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships next weekend.

2013 Starts Off Strong
Though I crossed into the New Year with a case of shingles that hit at Christmas, it's going to be a great year. I could easily write an extensive blog (or perhaps a book) about what it's like to deal with shingles. I documented it well and believe that I have a responsibility to share what we learned. But the pictures aren't pretty and I've got lots to do, so it's going to have to wait. There's lots to report as the year gets going, though. So here's a quick overview.
I was so happy with the Bas Clas gig for MOMS Halloween that I never posted the fact that on October 19 I was "Jindalled." My position as the one and only Sustainable Housing Agent with the LSU AgCenter was eliminated. And yes, that means I don't have health insurance right now and paid cash for my medical care in treating shingles. I haven't added it all up, but I guess it's around $350 so far.
The cuts to higher education and health care in Louisiana are criminal. People are dying. And, when they're dying they aren't going to have hospice care at home, because Jindal cut that, too. His administration is heartless. They are destroying Louisiana government, health care and education. Shame on them. My sincere prayer for 2013 is that the people of Louisiana wake up and throw these cold-blooded bums out. But then, that all-too-often is my prayer for Louisiana.
Nevertheless, there are many good things happening in my life these days. Besides being cared-for by the most amazing person I've ever known and loved, other wonderful events and activities are on the agenda in the coming weeks. For the band, things just keep getting cooler and cooler. We are an Offbeat Magazine Best of the Beat Nominee for Best Rock Album! Thank you!
Bas Clas is also the subject of documentary filmmaker Pat Mire's latest efforts. He started shooting during our recording sessions at Dockside Studio back in August, and will shoot our upcoming show at Grant St Dancehall in Lafayette LA on Saturday, January 26 for the 8th Annual Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival. Yes indeed!
To launch into the New Year as entrepreneurs, Grasshopper Mendoza and I formed NOLA Vibe Consulting, and we're busy as ever working on the 2013 Water Challenge, and co-chairing the Horizon Initiative Water Committee. And I'm getting ready to take another course (only 1 more and a thesis to go for a Masters in Urban Studies) at UNO.
2013 is going to be a great year!

Some parts of the eastern seaboard will see up to a foot of snow, reports AccuWeather. The storm has cancelled many air flights, so check with your carrier.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center — 21 January 2014 — AccuWeather.com reports a snowstorm sweeping the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Tuesday is bringing accumulations between 6 inches and 1 foot to Washington, D.C., New York City and Boston.
The snow could stretch from northern Maine to as far south as Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., causing slick roads and slowed travel on major interstates, including I-95, I-81 and I-77.
For part of the mid-Atlantic, such as the District of Columbia and a large part of Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and southeastern New York state including Long Island, this could unfold to be the biggest snowfall of the season so far.
Flight delays and cancellations are mounting in major eastern travel hubs. Already, Tuesday morning, hundreds of arrivals and departures were cancelled along the East Coast.
Colder air will bring gusty winds and blowing and drifting snow, limiting visibility Tuesday..
All updates are listed in EST
11:16 a.m. EST Tuesday: The worst conditions through the afternoon hours will stretch from Washington, D.C., up through NYC, along the I-95 corridor, according to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Dan Depodwin.
