The Sochi winter Olympics have provided the hockey loving folk some great games, and for the NHL GM's a stack of grey hairs as the injury ninja sweeps the games. So far, the losses (NHL only) have been as follows:
- Henrik Zetterberg – Sweden/Red Wings: Left the games with a herniated disc and flew back to Detroit to be evaluated. Season potentially in jeopardy.
- Aleksander Barkov – Finland/Florida Panthers: Injured his knee against Norway. Team Finland doctors said that it is unlikely that Barkov will need surgery for the injury, but is sidelined for 4-6 weeks. There's roughly 8 weeks of the NHL season left for Barkov as Panthers are not going to make it to the play-offs.
- Tomas Kopecky – Slovakia/Florida Panthers: Got hit in the head against Slovenia. No timeline for return has been announced.
- Mats Zuccarello – Norway/New York Rangers: non-displaced fracture in his hand. No timeline for return has been announced.
- John Tavares – Canada/ New York Islanders: Leg injury,
no timeline for return announced.Edit: It was announced that Tavares would miss the remainder of the season after it was revealed that he sustained a torn MCL and a torn meniscus. He might avoid surgery, but should he need it he is ready for training camp for 2014-2015 season.
Those are just the players that are out of the games and potentially from their respective NHL club games. The list does not take into account small nagging injuries that players may have carried pre-Olympics. The Sochi Winter Olympics came at a time in the NHL season – and hockey season in general – that there is not a single player that is 100% healthy.
Zetterberg is possibly the biggest loss to his club team. The Red Wings' captain is due to undergo exams if his back requires surgery straight away or if it is safe for him to carry on to the end of the season and potential play-offs. Tavares is another big loss as he is a huge part of the Islanders' offense. Where Islanders have an uphill battle to get to the play-offs Tavares is a loss that will be felt in the line-up (depending on the severity of his injury).
The NHL and IIHF have a contract in place for the NHL to be part of these Olympics and then it is up for review. Could you imagine if some one like Sidney Crosby suffered an injury that would sideline him for a long time at the Olympics? Where some of the above players have been injured in 'meaningless games' (apart from Tavares), the NHL GM's – specially those in Florida – will be tearing their hair out. A point on the frustration that the international competitions provide team executives, is when Barkov was injured and it was announced that he was out. He received a call from his GM, Dale Tallon, which was described as (Tallon being) frustrated. Barkov is one of the rising stars of a young Panthers roster and has struggled with injuries before and during the season (he underwent shoulder surgery before camp).
Similar concerns are always shared by GMs during the annual World Championships and many players are looking to go play for their national teams. At the end of a gruelling NHL season, every minor injury is examined and NHL medical staff is often reticent to let players go if there are signs of injuries. Sometimes, players' desire to go and play for their countries is going to over ride the doctors. Alex Ovechkin, for example, played a few games for Russia in the 2013 World Championships with a broken foot. Speaks volumes of his toughness and desire to play, but I bet it caused some grief to GMGM.
So all in all, when the IIHF and the NHL sit down to talk about the NHL's continued participation at the Winter Olympics, there will surely be questions raised as to whether teams will want to let their assets go and risk injury at the Olympics stage. In my opinion, the NHL will continue to be part of the Olympics as it is a stage for it to market itself and compete the ever expanding KHL. The risk the NHL has is that some of the more patriotic players may defect to leagues which allow them to compete in the Olympics and World Championships.
It's going to be another four years before the South-Korean Olympics so there is time, but having said that, there was time to avoid the last lockout and I'm sure IIHF will want the contract in place well in advance for the 2018 Winter Games.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – All season long, the
Yale women's basketball team has been winning with defense.
In fact, in all of their first eight wins, the Bulldogs held their
opponents to 60 points or fewer. On Saturday night against
Columbia, Yale proved that offense can win games as well, pouring
in a season-best 81 points en route to an 81-74 victory at the John
J. Lee Amphitheater in New Haven. Leading the way for the Bulldogs
in the Ivy League win was junior Yoyo Greenfield, who tallied a
career-high 20 points. Freshman Megan Vasquez matched her
career-best with 19 points and also set a new personal high with
seven assists.
Yale, winners of four of their last five games, improves to 9-11 overall and 4-2 in the Ivy League. The Bulldogs' four Ivy League victories match their league win total from last season with eight Ancient Eight contests still left to play. Tonight's victory, coupled with the Bulldogs' 74-50 win over Cornell on Friday night, completed Yale's first weekend sweep of Ivy League opponents since downing Harvard and Dartmouth in January of 2007.
Columbia, which won at defending league champion Dartmouth last weekend, also sits at 4-2 in league play and drops to a 13-7 overall record.
Greenfield's career-high scoring output, which earned her a share of the game high in points, came on 8-for-15 shooting from the field and a 4-for-7 mark from three-point range. The junior guard, who is shooting better than 50% from the floor and from downtown in Ivy League play, has twice scored 19 points in her three-year career. Vasquez knocked down three three-pointers in game, as Yale hit a season-high 10 treys on 15 attempts (66.7%). The Bulldogs shot 49.2% (30-61) from the field and 78.6% (11-14) from the free throw line in the contest.
Not all of the Yale scoring came from the perimeter, however, as sophomore Michelle Cashen and senior Melissa Colborne each netted double figures with 15 and 10 points, respectively. Cashen also had the game high of nine rebounds, outrebounding the nation's leading rebounder in Columbia's Judie Lomax, who had eight boards, and falling just one shy of her second consecutive double-double.
Colborne, a former Ivy League Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Ivy honoree, moved into sixth place on Yale's all-time scoring list with 1,344 points. With her double-figure output, the senior from Calgary, Alb. Has surpassed the 1,336 career tallies by Katy Grubbs '99 and sits just 27 points shy of Yale's all-time top five in scoring.
Cashen's nine boards led a Yale effort that outworked the Lions on the glass by a 38-34 margin. Junior Mady Gobrecht had six rebounds, as well as five points, and senior Haywood Wright tore down five from the glass. Lomax's eight boards marked the second-lowest rebounding output this season for the former Pac-10 All-Rookie Team honoree (at Oregon State), who entered the contest averaging a Division I-best 14.4 rebounds per game.
Lomax, who is also the Ivy League's leading scorer, matched Greenfield's 20 points and was joined in double figures by three other Lions: Melissa Shafer (13), Danielle Browne (11) and Lauren Dwyer (10). As a team, Columbia shot 45% (27-60) from the floor, 41.7% (5-12) from three-point range and 65.2% (15-23) from the free throw line.
Yale didn't quite match its hot start from last night, in which the Bulldogs hit their first 10 shots in the victory over Cornell, but the home team did race out to a quick 8-2 advantage, led by four early points from Vasquez. The Yale lead remained at one or two possessions for much of the first half, until an 11-4 Bulldogs' spurt bore a double-digit cushion, 41-31, with just 2:28 left in the half. The Lions responded with the next six points, trimming the lead back to four points with under a minute remaining in the half, but back-to-back three pointers from Greenfield and Cashen in the final 60 seconds sent Yale into the locker room with a 10-point advantage, 47-37.
Greenfield had a half-best 13 points, fueled by a 3-for-3 showing from three-point range, while Cashen added 11 points and five boards over the first 20 minutes. Columbia kept the game close due in large part to its constant full-court pressure defense, as the Lions turned 13 first-half Yale turnovers into 22 points. The Bulldogs turned Columbia over on seven occasions in the stanza but only converted two points off of the visitors' miscues. Columbia was led by 12 points and four rebounds from Lomax.
Yale maintained its momentum from the 6-0 run that closed the first half of play, scoring the first eight points of the second half to build an 18-point lead and force Columbia Head Coach Paul Nixon to call a quick 30-second timeout. Columbia came out firing after the stoppage, erasing the Yale run with a 10-0 spurt of its own to trim the deficit back to 10 points at 55-45. However, it was once again the three-pointer that propelled Yale, as triples from Vasquez and senior captain Ashley Carter ran the lead back to 16 points at 61-45.
The Lions refused to fade away, however, and steady a scoring output complimented by intermittent defensive stops soon chiseled the Yale lead down to eight at 70-62. A pair of free throws from Wright extended the Bulldogs' advantage back to double digits, 72-62, with 5:07 remaining, but Columbia put forth a final charge, rattling off nine straight points to reduce the margin to just one point, 72-71, with 1:24 left in regulation. Greenfield slashed to the hoop and sank a layup on the ensuing possession to put Yale back up by three points, and Columbia came up empty on its next trip by missing a pair of free throws. Cashen hauled down the rebound on the second free shot, drawing a foul in the process and sinking a pair from the stripe to give the Bulldogs a two-possession advantage at 76-71 with 37 seconds remaining. The Yale defense forced a Columbia turnover on the ensuing possession, and Vasquez followed with two free throws for Yale to ice the game. The Bulldogs continued to hit their attempts from the charity stripe down the stretch, and the Lions would not score again until a Shafer three-pointer went home in the closing seconds, as Yale completed the weekend sweep with an 81-74 victory.
"I'm not sure which was more important for us moving forward: the way we got out to a big lead or the way we fought to hold them off," said Chris Gobrecht, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Basketball at Yale. "But the most important thing is that we beat a very good basketball team tonight."
Yale, which is unbeaten in three Ivy League home games, will have to win on the road next weekend to keep its hot streak intact. The Bulldogs travel to historic rival Harvard on Friday night before challenging the Dartmouth Big Green in Hanover, N.H. on Saturday. Both contests are slated for 7 p.m. starts.
"This team has been getting better and better all season," said Coach Gobrecht, "and I think we're ready to make a run."

(NewsUSA) – Every year, NASCAR fans patiently wait for the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla. to see gutsy drivers and unpredictable racing. This year's 55th anniversary will prove even more surprising with the debut of the Sprint Cup Series Generation-6 race car, replacing the boxy model that's been racing since 2007, and ignite new, fierce competition from veterans and rookies alike.
Receiving heavy attention is Daytona's defending champion, Matt Kenseth, who will be driving the new Dollar General No. 20 Toyota Camry as part of the Joe Gibbs Racing team. NASCAR fans are also excited to see traditional favorites, including Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Tony Stewart as excitement builds over newer stars, like Danica Patrick, who posted some of the fastest speeds during preseason test runs.
Like Kenseth's peers, he's in for some uncertainty. The Gen-6 is supposed to have enhanced safety features after two years of development and help from NASA. Closely resembling a streetcar, it features drivers' last names on the front windshield, but speculation says the faster car may lead to unpredictable racing while drivers adjust to the new handling conditions.
In an early prediction of Daytona's outcome, Bleacher Report favors vets like Kenseth, Gordon, Earnhardt Jr. or Stewart, assuming they adjust well to the Gen-6 car.
Regardless of the winner, Dollar General expects the Daytona 500 to boost interest in NASCAR and invigorate fans, which is reflective of its increased sponsorship in the 2013 Sprint Cup Series. The country's largest small-box retailer will also continue its full-season sponsorship of Brian Vickers in the Nationwide Series. Between the advantages of social media and the anticipated premiere, both attendance and viewership may soar. This means only good things for sponsors like Dollar General.
This year, Dollar General is also going the extra mile to help customers and viewers. When the Dollar General car wins with either Kenseth or Vickers at the wheel, customers who shop online with Dollar General will receive an additional 20 percent off their everyday low price, or, if the Dollar General cars have a top-10 finish, customers will enjoy 10 percent savings online. Discounts are only available the Monday after the race, only at www.dollargeneral.com.
Plus, Dollar General is a veritable one-stop shop for all racing needs. From snacks and plates, to beer and wine, DG will complete your Daytona experience, and with over 10,000 convenient locations, there's sure to be one close.

In spite of these issues, the platforming gameplay is rewarding and fun, not to mention challenging. You'll get multiple lives and three continues, but once you're continues are used up, it's game over and you're brought back to the beginning of the story. This is likely going to cause frustration for some folks, but on my second playthrough, I found myself playing a lot more carefully, and as such, I actually enjoyed myself a whole lot more. The later platforming levels are jam packed with inspired ideas, and there's ample payoff for sticking with the game 'til the end.
There's a healthy dose of shoot'em-up levels sprinkled throughout the adventure as well. Not all of the segments are great; however, a couple of sections are comprised of impressive set pieces that make the experience feel like a big budget retail title.
Before you know it, though, the journey's over. Rocket Knight might be designed to be replayed multiple times, but it lacks a certain something that was calling me back. There are a couple of extra costumes to unlock (and if you're a long-time fan of Konami, you should have no trouble unlocking them from the start), and the leaderboards are a nice addition as well. When weighing the price tag against the gameplay, however, $15 seems a bit steep.
If nothing else, the game looks beautiful. There are a few areas that don't quite measure up to the rest of the game, but on the whole, Rocket Knight is one heck of an ambitious downloadable package. There are lots of fun little details hidden in each level, and most of the animations look really good. The framerate holds up fine, and the load times were relatively short.
The sound effects are crisp and vibrant, making the collection of gems a guilty pleasure. By itself, I enjoyed pretty much everything the soundtrack had to offer, yet I was still left wanting more. The game's themes make a good match for the setting of the story, but the music never really moves with the rhythm of gameplay.
We've waited a long time for Rocket Knight to make another appearance, and for the most part, the marsupial hero does us proud. The main platforming ideas hold up surprisingly well, and Climax Studio has done a bang-up job translating the Rocket Knight experience for the present day. A few unfortunate control issues crop up from time to time, and $15 is quite the premium for such a fleeting romp. Still, anyone who has been eagerly awaiting Sparkster's return should be satisfied with Konami's latest offering.

Old Mac Daddy Airstream Trailer Park
Greeting from South Africa! The very creative entrepreneurs behind Daddy's World wowed us again with their brand new project — a boutique trailer park on an apple orchard just an hour outside of Cape Town. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the attention to detail — when these guys do something, they do it well.
After arriving at a barn styled reception — straw bales and all — you take a boardwalk to twelve vintage Airstream suites and a luxury cottage, Daddy's Villa. Each retreat was individually designed by South African artists and designers, including Sacha Olivier, Mark & Joe Stead and Jeannie Sherwood & Kirsten Townsend.
Every Airstream has a living room (which doubles as a second bedroom) and a bathroom attached in a beautifullyl minimalist style.
The Old Mac Daddy restaurant is also on the premises and is a design masterpiece in itself. The restaurant is situated in the barn with the most beautiful view over the valley.
Old Mac Daddy is very child-friendly and you will find an apple themed (in keeping with the surrounding) kids room in the barn, too. I was amazed by the creative use of materials and furniture, almost all the pieces were multi-functional.
The best part of this experience was that it was totally affordable and I hope it stays this way! For prices and information see: Old Mac Daddy and Facebook Group | Old Mac Daddy.

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
State parties (196)
State signatories (0)
The present Convention replaced the Prisoners of War Convention of 1929. It contains 143 Articles whereas the 1929 Convention had only 97. It became necessary to revise the 1929 Convention on a number of points owing to the changes that had occurred in the conduct of warfare and the consequences thereof, as well as in the living condition of peoples. Experience had shown that the daily life of prisoners depended specifically on the interpretation given to the general regulations. Consequently, certain regulations were given a more explicit form which was lacking in the preceding provisions. Since the text of the Convention is to be posted in all prisoner of war camps (see Article 41) it has to be comprehensible not only to the authorities but also to the ordinary reader at any time. The categories of persons entitled to prisoner of war status were broadened in accordance with Conventions I and II. The conditions and places of captivity were more precisely defined, in particular with regard to the labour of prisoners of war, their financial resources, the relief they receive and the judicial proceedings instituted against them. The Convention establishes the principle that prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated without delay after the cessation of active hostilities (Article 118)

Dorothy Hudson - Medicine & Healthcare, Physiotherapy in Nepal
On July 28th, 2005 I embarked on a journey to Nepal for a one month work placement at the Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre for Disabled Children (HRDC) in Banepa. Banepa is a community 25 km or about an hour and a half bus ride from Kathmandu. Little did I realise how quickly that month would go by. Little did I realise how the people I would meet would touch my heart.
HRDC is a centre that was set up in 1985 by the non-governmental organisation, Friends of the Disabled. Its services are aimed at under privileged children with a number of physical disabilities. Largely orthopaedic in nature, the staff treat children with club foot, post burn and post polio contractures, a number of congenital conditions, fractures, TB of the bone, osteomyelitis, osteosarcomas and osteocondromas. Children with neurological conditions such as spina bifida, peripheral nerve injuries and cerebral palsy are also seen and referrals are made to other centres when appropriate. I was impressed by the treatment provided by the centre and by the overall programme that they offered. Not only did the centre provide services to inpatients, they were very involved in several outreach services and were actively involved in training staff that were stationed around the country. A team approach to treatment was very evident. Morning rounds included staff from all disciplines and one could sense the camaraderie between the staff.
The physiotherapy staff at the centre were outstanding. They had strong assessment and treatment skills and it was not uncommon to see them whip up splints and slings in mere minutes. These professional skills were accompanied by a large amount of heart and a sense of fun. No wonder that the children and volunteers often migrated to the department during their free time!!!
During my placement at HRDC I was blessed by an incredible host family. Lovingly known as Lok's house, my accommodation was much more than a place to eat and sleep. Lok and his family provided the volunteers with a home away from home. Several of us joined Lok at yoga class first thing in the morning and evenings were spent playing cards and a variety of games with Shanti, Sejan and Suzan. Shanti, Lok's daughter and Sejan and Suzan, his nephews were only too willing to take us to local celebrations and to share a bit of Newari culture and language instruction.
As my stay in Nepal was short, I tried my best to make the most of my weekends and free time. A member of Rotary and Toastmasters in Canada, I made contact with some Rotary and Toastmaster's Clubs in Nepal and was warmly welcomed at their meetings. I also played tourist and explored the Durbar squares in the valley. I walked by the temples and stupas of Swayambhu. Pashupatinath and Bodhnath. I took mountain flight over the Himalayas, hiked to Nagarkot and visited Pokhara and Chitwan National Park. I bargained with Tibetan women on the shores of Phewa Lake and came face to face with a rhino.
I have returned home with many souvenirs and fond memories of my brief stay in Nepal. One of the souvenirs is a T-shirt from the mountain flight. It says I did not climb Mt. Everest but I touched it with my heart. As I sit at my computer in Canada, I cannot help but think that my brief stay in Nepal is just a beginning of what I hope will be a long and lasting relationship with the country and people of Nepal. I am not sure that the phrase should be that I touched Mt Everest with my heart but rather that Nepal reached out and touched my heart.
My thanks goes out to Projects Abroad director Sajani,(an awesome project coordinator), the staff of HRDC, my host family, the staff at Excelsior Hotel, other volunteers, exceptional tour guides, Toastmasters and Rotarians who made my visit an unforgettable experience.

Or they're trying to expand their horizons and branch out into something that's both within and outside their comfort zone. The number of times "trolling" comes up on here as a reason and response to everything really baffles me.

So they are putting it out under the English title of "My Ordinary Life"?
Hmmm. How ordinary is it to have a talking cat, an loli professor, and a humanoid robot?
EDIT: Seen Episode 1 RAW
This show is So freaking random. The OP is correct, and Episode 00 was to sneak this in under the radar.
Lucky Star on Crack it is.

It kind of felt like they tried to match Yuko's "3 second rule" with Misao's line from Lucky Star right down to the enunciation on the last "rule". Too bad Misao's VA is already doing a different character in Nichijo . I really like the BGM they're using; it feels kind of like old school slapstick. The voice direction sounds good as always, and another Cho-voiced school principal who laughs at his own jokes is always a plus in my book.
Edit: And if anyone wants to double check how much epic Kyoani adds to a scene, compare Yuko's 2 minute sausage grabbing scene to chapter 12 in the manga.

Does anyone know what channel this aired on? It was supposed to air ait on TV Aichi at 2:20am, but the simulcast apparently comes out at 9pm and the RAW was just uploaded. Am I misunderstanding something, because I'm pretty sure 2:20am in Japan is 1:20pm EST.

I guess I could attempt a limited review from what I could pickup.
Mio is the blue haired girl that looks a little like Chiyo-chan from Azumanga Daioh.
Yuko is the brown haired girl that is mostly an idiot and seems hyper.
Mai is the quiet girl with the long hair and glasses.
Nano is the girl with the giant windup key in her back that looks passingly like Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.
The Professor is the child Nano is taking care of.
Of the characters we saw in Episode 00, only Sakomoto-san is missing. (The talking black cat)
Spoiler for Episode One...without translations:
There are some other weirdnesses going on that I didn't cover as well.

Umm... I'm a bit disappointed. It is boring, that's the thing.
The biggest problem, probably is that script/screenplay absolutely missed the point of original manga. Manga is relying on synthesis between random-situation and interaction between characters, but only the 'random situation' part was well presented but failed at 'interaction' part. So, only random situations was randomly presented, which is boring.
Seiyuus... another disappointment. I believed in Kyoto Animation, but this time, they failed. I couldn't point out any notable actings from any of the newbie seiyuus involved, unlike K-On which absolutely worked well. Animation and art quality was godly as usual, but colouring was worse than average.
Other than that, it was normal episode. However, it's definitely not something that Kyoto Animation is good at. SHAFT is much better at this kind of comedy. It will still sell due to animation quality itself is something that nothing can beat, but ultimately, I say this Kyoani's adventurous attempt ended up being just average with current prospect.
But who knows? It might get better. However, staffs involved in this episode was too godly. All the highest team members of Kyoani worked on this episode. That means, they went all out this episode. Yet, it wasn't that good.
Edited: Watched it subbed (Korean). It's fun and enjoyable, but boring and awkward moments are still there. However, I will follow this series until the end.

(NewsUSA) – When patients sit waiting for their medical appointments, a parade of symptoms, questions and concerns may march through their minds, ripe for discussion with their clinician. But once in the exam room, they often find they don't make it through their full list, or they miss the issues most troubling them.
Dr. Clifton Bingham, who treats rheumatoid arthritis patients at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., hates to see those patient perspectives fail to make it out of the waiting room. "The current measures that we use in practice often do not incorporate these perspectives," he says.
Bingham and his team, with funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), are measuring the value of an increased focus on what a patient with a chronic condition is experiencing. The idea is to improve patient-clinician communication, shared decision-making and outcomes that matter most to patients.
In those with rheumatoid arthritis, these outcomes include levels of pain, fatigue, sleep quality and mood. Physicians, nurses and other clinicians, on the other hand, usually give more weight to visible symptoms and clinical measurements, such as joint swelling, lab and imaging results.
In Bingham's study, patients with rheumatoid arthritis are handed an iPad when they sit down in the waiting room. The tablet holds a questionnaire that asks about the patient's physical, mental and social health. Each patient receives different questions based on their answers to questions that came before, resulting in more personalized questions than those asked in the hard-copy versions previously given.
"For the first time in 15 years I was giving accurate, honest answers," said Julie, a patient participating in the study.
At the end of each appointment, the doctor reviews and discusses the results. "[We] may find that new things come up from the questionnaires that the patient didn't think was important to mention or that the doctor didn't ask about," Bingham says.
Initial feedback from patients is extremely positive. "I was able to have a more honest conversation with Dr. Bingham about my treatment goals, options and preferences," Julie said.
Bingham's study is one of 50 pilot projects funded by PCORI, which supports research designed to better answer questions important to patients and those who care for them. The institute requires that the work it funds be guided by patients, caregivers and other health care community stakeholders.

Yeah, you can correctly assume that this leftover-incorporation project was an experiment gone oh, so, tender and right. Being that J. Legume and I were opting for something different this past Thanksgiving, we decided to make what turned out to be a giant batch of mashed potatoes the weekend prior. I'd never foreseen this as an issue before – J. Legume is quite an enthusiast, and I'm all about using leftovers as breaded, Italian-style mashed potato croquettes, just like my mom used to make, except I now bake them vs. frying. With this bout of leftovers, I wanted something new and my google searches were a mess of ugly Shepherd's pies, been there, done that pancakes, and basically, links to top ten lists of the same three basic recipes and pictures of little kids holding messy spoonful of mashed potatoes. Or something like that. I was actually leaning towards a soup or loaf of bread, when my luck changed with a curiously appropriate recipe for Leftover Mashed Potato Biscuits on Serious Eats (a website that I love to hate because it's both inspiring annoying, and I clearly just wish I was writing for a vegan version).
What happened next was a success and a veganization that will make it into further rotation, no doubt. I mean, hey, I typed it out and everything.
Leftover Mashed Potato & Cheese Biscuits (adapted from Serious Eats)
Makes 6-8 biscuits, depending on your cut
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ cup chilled Earth Balance margarine
- 1 generous cup of mashed potatoes
- ⅓ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup shredded vegan cheese Note: I used Follow Your Heart cheddar
- additional flour, as needed
Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a small cup, vigorously whisk together the nondairy milk and vinegar with a fork and set aside. Mix together the flour, nutritional yeast, salt, sugar and baking powder in a mixer bowl or food processor (or if you're a badass, by hand). Add in the margarine in small chunks, and mix until the batter is crumbly. Then pour in the 'buttermilk' components of nondairy milk and vinegar, as well as the mashed potatoes. Mix until fairly well combined. Lastly, add the shredded vegan cheese until *just* combined (especially if you want to see the colors swirl). Using flour as needed, gently spread the mixture until ¾ inch in thickness. Using a pizza cutter or long knife, divide into 6 or 8 biscuits, and place on the parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve with additional margarine, or what the hell, steamed kale and gravy, if you please.
These are softer and less flakey than your typical biscuits, but lovely in their own special way.

A new USDA regulation which unilaterally terminates base acres on federally-owned cropland has taken many of the nation's farmers completely by surprise. In many cases the land in question has been managed by farm families for generations, and includes at least one Mississippi farmer's home place.
USDA offered no explanation for the decision and did not cite any explicit authority for the action. But USDA evidently took advantage of a rule in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 allowing owners of farmland to reduce their base acres. Noted Ted Serafini, congressional staffer for Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., "The government took that rule and applied it to themselves."
The provision (Section 1101, Base Acres) states, "The owner of a farm may reduce, at any time, the base acres for any covered commodity for the farm."
The section also states that the reduction "shall be permanent and made in a manner prescribed by the secretary."
A letter sent to FSA state and county offices from John Johnson, (Notice DCP 204) deputy administrator of farm programs for USDA's Farm Service Agency, stated, "land owned by federal agencies will have base acres terminated for the 2009 crop year unless that land is subject to a lease agreement which was executed before Dec. 23, 2008, and is in effect beyond the 2009 crop year."
The National Cotton Council announced in January that the "NCC and other groups are working with Congress and the new administration in an effort to overturn this rule," which effectively eliminates direct and counter-cyclical payments on the federally-owned lands.
A group of Mid-South farmers are also organizing against the rule. An organizing meeting for affected farmers was held Feb. 2 at the Marshall County Fairgrounds, just north of Holly Springs, Miss.
Wayburn Callicutt, who farms in Marshall and Lafayette counties in Mississippi, says about a third of his farmland is affected by the rule, including about 300 acres of cropland that his father purchased in the 1920s.
"I was born and raised on the land. It belonged to my father and was taken by eminent domain when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built Sardis Reservoir in the 1940s. But we were allowed to lease it back. That's what concerns me so much, losing the bases on the home place."
Another piece of property Callicutt leases from the Corps in Sardis Reservoir "is a sizable place for the Hill country. It had about 200 acres of cropland on it and no bases when I rented it. I bit the bullet, planted it and went three years without a payment to build a base.
"Now they're going to take that one too. I feel like the base belongs more to me than it does the government. I took the risk and built the bases myself."
Callicutt has a 10-year lease on the Sardis properties, with an option to renew after five years without a competitive bid. "I don't know what I'm going to do if they take the base off it. I'm not sure we can raise a crop without the subsidies. It's not going to be worth as much to me without the base."
Callicutt says he'll try to renegotiate the option to reflect the decreased value from having farm payments removed. "I contacted the Corps of Engineers real estate division in Vicksburg, but they didn't know any more about it than I did."
Callicutt said that 75 percent of the money paid in government leases goes back into the county. If income from those leases is reduced or eliminated, "it's going to impact the schools and the general funds in the counties.
"The land is not worth as much without the government payments, so we can't pay as much for it.
"There is a possibility we can get it stopped if there are enough numbers to protest it. It's not just affecting Mississippi. It's affecting all states and all federal lands, not just the Corps of Engineers land."
There is also concern among farmers that land placed into FSA inventory for any reason, including foreclosure, could have those bases removed.
The FSA notice included three examples of how leases of federally-owned land would be handled under the rule:
Example 1(FSN 777) 50 base acres
Owner: Farm Service Agency
This farm is held in inventory by FSA and is not under lease.
Determination: Because this farm is federally-owned and does not meet the leasing exception, base acres on this farm shall be terminated immediately.
Example 2 (FSN 1302) 100 base acres
Owner: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
A lease was executed with the Corps of Engineers on Jan. 1, 2008. The lease expired on Dec. 31, 2008. There are no renewal options.
Determination: This farm meets the leasing exception; however, base acres are terminated on Jan. 1, 2009, after the expiration date of the lease. If enrolled before the lease expires, (the direct and counter-cyclical contract) must be terminated because of a change in contract acreage.
Example 3 (FSN 1701) 75 base acres
Owner: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
A farmer executed a three-year lease containing two three-year renewal options with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Jan. 1, 2004. On Dec. 31, 2006, he exercised an option to renew the lease through Dec. 31, 2009.
Determination: This farm meets the leasing exception. Because the renewal option was exercised before Dec. 23, 2008, the base acres for this farm will be terminated on Jan. 1, 2010.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – The folks at Bruce's Custom Covers know that fall flying can be some of the most spectacular for pilots, but there are also some hazards that pilots need to be aware of.
"With the changing colors come a rash of undesirable weather conditions," company officials noted in a release. "These include airborne particles, frost and precipitation, gusty winds, flash storms, and more. Protecting an aircraft from the elements is essential, as is protection from FOD, or foreign object debris.
"Common hazards throughout the fall flying season include airborne debris from trees, dust and pollen. These items can remain stuck to an aircraft's exterior and can embed over time into most any surface," officials continued. "This invasive fall FOD will affect an aircraft's paint and can harm windows making them hazy, scratched, and even distorted. Additionally, the sun's rays are constantly working on an aircraft with harmful ultraviolet radiation. Then there are morning frosts, a regular occurrence in the fall season. Routine cycles of sun and frost will affect an airplane's interior, causing damage to plastics and upholstery, even avionics. A custom fitted aircraft cover can keep an airplane's interior sealed, temperate, and dry, alleviating many of these problems."
Bruce's Custom Covers is the original designer and manufacturer of protective aircraft covering systems for airplanes, jets, helicopters, gliders, QEC off-link jet engines and ground service equipment.

No. Both the backing and vocal versions of all 8 songs are contained on the CD. There are also harmony versions for most songs on selected CDs.

Harmony tracks are extra tracks to help teach a group in your choir harmony to a given song. There can be one to four harmony tracks for one song. In each track, a specific harmony will be much louder than other vocals so that students can listen and follow the harmony. You can use the REPEAT button on your CD player to allow your students to sing one harmony over and over. Harmony tracks are included with most songs on selected CD's. The selected CD's are usually in range we call Senior Choir. They include Senior Choir, Modern Choir, Harmony Choir and coming soon Pop Choir. These tittles are aimed at students in year 4 and above. We have also included harmony tracks on our two Christmas CD's and, coming soon, our Modern Christian Singer Series.

Can I photocopy the lyric sheets or make a copy of the CD?
We would of course prefer that you didn't, but your local eduction department may have an agreement to allow you to make copies. As a teacher or a music specialist, it is your responsibility to be aware of your rights to copy and the legal limits. Your school will face heavy fines if you copy illegally any form of published music. Contact your district office for more details. You can purchase extra copies of a lyric sheet or sheet music if you have a large group of performers.
Is IJAM Music registered for GST in New Zealand?
We are not yet registered for GST in New Zealand.
My CD doesn't seem to have any vocal versions, where are they?
They are on there. We have put the backing versions on track 1 to 8 so you can get to them quicker in a performance situation. The vocal and harmony (if applicable) versions follow. The track numbers are listed on the CD surface and for your convenience on the lyrics sheets above each song.

I had just completed Magma Mines with my fourth class, completing the quest Minecraft, when my game crashed. The quest has vanished, and I believe that I was awarded some gold for it, but the game seems to think that I have only completed that dungeon with three classes (the first three I used), and I don't seem to have unlocked the battlemage ring (unless I've been very unlucky or that item is very rare).
Is there a way to check whether the item is unlocked, or refresh it somehow if it isn't?
I was playing as a halfling priest, and unlocked Binlor in the same run.

For a team that's been practicing together all summer, West Henderson certainly flexed its muscles against visiting Polk County, a team that has been practicing together for less than two weeks, in Monday's season opener.
Though it was technically still summer for students and parents Monday evening, West's gym saw a good turnout of fans to usher in the 2013 season as the Lady Falcons won, 3-0 (25-17, 25-9, 25-16).
"There are always things to work on but as far as the first game I thought they handled their jitters really well and came out ready to play, even our freshmen and sophomores," said West head coach Tiffany Lowrance.
It was the Lady Wolverines who had a hard time fending off first-match nerves. West jumped out to the relatively quick 18-6 lead before Polk took advantage of a few unforced errors to gain back some points, getting within five points at the 19-14 mark before West rolled through the final few.
The Lady Falcons dominated Game 2, coming away with the 25-9 win highlighted by right-side senior hitter Rachel Hyatt (14 kills) and the serving of Rachel Kordonowy (13 service points).
But Polk fought from the get-go in Game 3, starting with the serving of senior Baileigh Fisher. It was 7-all before West freshman middle hitter Mary Catherine Ball's block gave the Lady Falcons the lead again. It was a battle from there, with 2012 Western Highlands Conference co-Player of the Year Kara Overholt setting up Polk's Sarah Phipps (eight kills) and Ashley Love (five kills). Overholt finished with 17 assists.
"There's a lot of positive if you compare; these (West) girls have been playing together and they all play club ball. We've got a lot to work on. I'm happy with the way the match ended compared to the way it was in the middle. We settled in a little," said new Polk coach Kelly Risley. "We've got a nice core group; we just need a couple of leaders to emerge."
Back-to-back lobs off West's block by Phipps and Love tied the score again at 13 in the third game before a West error and then slam by Phipps made it 15-13, Polk. West rattled off five quick points as Polk made unforced errors, and it was a mixture of kills by sophomore Taylor Houck (six kills), freshman Destynee Galloway (three kills) and sophomore Haley Staton that finished things off.
Kordonowy had seven kills and 11 digs, and Ball added four kills to the tab. Sophomore setter Kasey Kilpatrick, a transfer, finished with 19 assists and eight digs, and Caroline Hauss had seven assists. Senior libero Savanna Austin had 10 digs.
For Polk, libero Lily Owens had 14 digs.
The Lady Falcons (1-0) will host Enka tonight and Hendersonville on Thursday, while Polk (0-1) hosts Brevard on Thursday.
West's JV team won its season opener, 2-0, over Polk.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Laura Wacker, Erica Little, and Katie Kauffman each registered five points as the MIT women's lacrosse team posted a 16-3 victory over Gordon College on Tuesday night. The contest was the first for both squads in the 2011 campaign.
Wacker led all scorers with five goals while Little tallied one goal and four assists. Kauffman recorded a hat-trick to go along with two assists as Kelly Duncan notched three goals, one assist, and three draw controls. Stephanie Leger tallied three groundballs, three draw controls, and two goals while Molly McShane chipped in three groundballs, two draw controls, and two goals. In 50 minutes of action in net, Allison Hamilos turned away two shots as Sarah Ritter closed out the game with one save.
Jordan Alexander paced the Fighting Scots with two goals while Lisa Richardson earned the assist on Anna Blomberg's goal. Parisa Hassanzadeh collected a game-high four groundballs and two caused turnovers as Stephanie Fitzgerald totaled three groundballs. Danielle Maguire amassed nine saves for the visitors.
MIT set the tone early by scoring five unanswered goals in the first 10 minutes and went on to hold a 9-0 advantage at halftime. Kauffman opened the scoring by connecting on a feed from Little just 1:38 into the game. Duncan followed with back-to-back goals, the second set up by Kaitlyn Nealon, while Leger's free-position strike proved to be the game-winning goal with 20:51 on the clock.
Exactly 25 seconds later, Little began a string of three consecutive points as she found Wacker for two goals and recorded an unassisted marker of her own. A solo effort by Kauffman extended the Engineers' lead to 8-0 while Wacker completed the hat-trick with 10 seconds remaining in the frame.
A flurry of offensive activity kicked off the second stanza. Gordon ended the shutout when Alexander found the back of the net after 40 seconds elapsed while the Wacker-Little tandem generated the duo's third goal of the night 31 seconds later. MIT increased its margin courtesy of Leger's unassisted blast, but Blomberg helped narrow the Fighting Scots' deficit to 11-2.
McShane tacked on a free-position goal with 19:16 left to play, which was followed by a defensive battle during the next 10 minutes until Alexander buried a free-position attempt of her own. The Engineers closed out the game with four straight goals as Kauffman earned the final three points on a goal and two assists.
MIT returns to action on Thursday, March 10 when it hosts Keene State College while Gordon will resume play on Monday, March 14 against Smith College in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Just as high school seniors are making final decisions for college and juniors are starting (or continuing) their college search, the Association of Catholic Colleges and Univerisites is promoting a video highlighting the distinct benefits of a Catholic college education.
The 9-minute video profiles five recent graduates of Catholic colleges who talk about how their college experience gave them a sense of purpose and enabled them to integrate faith in their daily lives. The association's member colleges are encouraged to post the video on their websites.
Marina Pastrana Rios, a Boston College graduate, jokes in the video that the Jesuits "ruined" her — "in a good way" — because her education at the Jesuit-run university made her ask herself: "Does the world really need another CPA?"
Not satisfied with just pursuing a business career, Marina, like other graduates featured in the video, wondered what more she could do for the world.
Now she is program director of the school's Montserrat Coalition, an initiative that seeks to help students in financial need.

Overland Kunming to Hong Kong
- This article is an itinerary.
Yunnan and Hong Kong are two of China's more popular tourist areas. This article discusses overland travel between them, passing through another famous area around Guilin.
South West China is, in some ways, the most exotic area of China, largely populated by various ethnic minorities with interesting handicrafts, languages, folk music and so on. It is also a poor area, relatively cheap to travel in overall.
Some areas have been or are being developed for tourism; there you can expect to find some modern amenities, Western food, English speakers, and (by Chinese standards) high prices. Once you get out of those areas, expect none of the above.
Get in
The two end points, Kunming and Hong Kong, both have good air links to various places. See their articles and Discount airlines in Asia for details. Both also have rail connections to the rest of China.
This article does not cover travelling around within Yunnan or near Hong Kong. See those articles and A week near Hong Kong for suggestions.
Kunming to Nanning
From Kunming, you can take a train through sensational mountain scenery, to the provincial capital Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. From Nanning, it is a short trip by bus or train to tourist center Guilin.
There are also flights possible to both Nanning and Guilin from most major cities in China.
Nanning is a transportation hub with links South toward Vietnam. See Overland from Singapore to Shanghai.
To Guilin via Guizhou
From Kunming, you can travel either by train or bus into Guizhou, a relatively poor and untouristed province with many ethnic minorities, then by bus through less travelled country to Guilin. Places en route include:
- Anshun, and China's biggest waterfall nearby
- Guiyang, the provincial capital, not particularly interesting
- Kaili, trading town with many interesting villages nearby
The overnight Kunming-Anshun bus is not recommended; it is at least 16 hours and neither clean nor comfortable. Take the train or break up the journey with an intermediate stop.
Guilin to Hong Kong
From Guilin, continue to the tourist town Yangshuo, then:
- either go on by overnight bus to Guangzhou, Zhuhai or Shenzhen
- or come back to Guilin to get a train to Guangzhou
Either way, you can reach Hong Kong.
Alternate routes
Nanning to Hong Kong along the coast
Staying within China, one could also swing toward the coast instead of toward Guilin, making for Behai, optionally by ferry to Hainan, then on to Hong Kong via Zhanjiang and Zhuhai.
Kunming to Hong Kong by (mostly) air
The fastest reasonably priced way from Kunming to Hong Kong or vice versa is by a plane/ferry combination, about 4 hours / 850+ RMB. You could fly direct to Hong Kong, but it is usually significantly cheaper to land in Shenzhen and take a ferry.
Many foreigners in China need to get a new visa every 6 or 12 months and Hong Kong or Macau are good places for this. For most passports you can get a multiple entry business visa with just a photo and money. The plane/ferry combination is the usual method for such "visa runs".
Kunming - Hong Kong
- Take the plane from Kunming to Shenzhen (cheapest 650 RMB; normal 850 RMB)
- Take the free airport bus from Shenzhen airport to Shenzhen airport ferry terminal
- Take the ferry to Hong Kong Kowloon (about 200 RMB)
That's it. For about 850 RMB you can go to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong
- Take the ferry from Hong Kong to Shenzhen airport (about 200 RMB)
- Take the free airport bus to Shenzhen airport
- Take the plan from Shenzhen to Kunming (about 700 RMB)
A very convenient way to book the ferry and plane ticket together is at the China Travel Service (HK). It is easy to find as it is placed directly in the opposite of the Chunking Mansions in Hong Kong Kowloon where many backpackers stay. Turbojet Ferry Schedule
Stay safe
These areas are generally quite poor and petty theft is common. Take precautions against pickpockets and watch for things like razor attacks on luggage during bus or train rides.
Armed robbery is rare, but has been reported. Victims are generally lone travellers, often female. Try to stay in a group, especially on treks through isolated areas.
Altitude sickness is a risk in some areas. especially if you go west of Kunming up toward the Himalayas.
Get out
You can fly from Kunming to many major Chinese cities and to some places in Southeast Asia. From Hong Kong, you can fly almost anywhere. See those articles for details.
Both cities are also well connected to the Chinese rail network. From Kunming, the possibilities are:
- West to Dali, a popular overnight tourist route.
- North into Sichuan, heading for Chengdu.
- Northeast into Guizhou, described in routes above. That train continues on into central China.
- Southeast into Guangxi, described in routes above.

Seattle was hit with the Bonfire Ignition Tour on Wednesday, October 10, 2001. In conjunction with Snowboard Connection and held at the infamous I-Spy nightclub, the night was a success.
The excitement escalated as word came in that the healthy powdery white stuff that we all love was falling in the mountains. About 300 people showed up at the I-Spy in downtown Seattle to check out the premier of Optigrab and Trancendence. Atley, of Snowboard Connection, got the party started with some quick wit and tons of free goodies from Bonfire, Salomon, Music Match, TVT Records, Sno-Con, Crystal Mountain and much more. D.J Bronze SM from City Soul spun the beats and kept the crowd pumped all night.
From 6pm ¿ 9pm an all ages show began and Atley introduced the first movie. Fans yelled with excitement as they felt the fear, thrill and pain that the riders on screen were experiencing as they made first descents in Alaska and broke themselves on various rail slides. At the end of the flicks, product was raffled off and one lucky moviegoer went home with a new Salomon Prospect that was presented and autographed by Kyle Clancy, who showed up in all his glory. From 10pm ¿ 2am the party kicked into a 21 and over show where small rubber pigs were passed out selectively and redeemed for liquid crack at the bars, which helped to change the face of the crowd. During one giveaway session the stage became a madhouse as some tripper that looked like an Axl Rose wannabe must have liked the lovely prize girls (Carey from Sno-Con and Bo Dil) because he jumped on stage and helped them toss goods into the audience.
The night ensued and several rumors are still floating that there was some freak running around with a polaroid snapping pictures of women flashing the camera, has anyone seen those photos? The real entertainment came as the night escalated to the big snowboard giveaway. Accidentally it seemed that the raffle tickets, which were placed in a beanie got hucked to the crowd. Fortunately, there was an honest soul in the building who brought the beanie full of raffle tickets down to the stage (a snowboard guardian angel looking out for the foggy souls handling the raffle).
Kyle Clancy and entourage were at this point not available for the presentation. We know where you were Kyle and what happened to all the little piggies.
Judd Feingold, Jak Greene, Atley and the Sno-Con crew rocked the house and for those who crawled out of the Bonfire Ignition Tour, there was snow on the ground just a little North of Seattle. And thankfully Denny's is "ALWAYS OPEN" for us late night folk.
Next stops on the tour Boston, Massachusetts (Oct 26th) with Concepts, Denver, CO (Nov 1) with Emage, Santa Monica, CA (Nov 1) with ZJ Boarding House, and final stop NYC (Nov 6th) with Blades Board and Skate.

March 19, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In its final home match of the regular season, the MIT men's volleyball team defeated Emmanuel College, 30-24, 30-26, 23-30, 22-30, 15-7, in a thrilling non-conference tilt on Thursday. With the win, the Engineers improved to 23-11 while the Saints' ledger lowered to 15-10 on the year.
Emmanuel maintained a small lead throughout the early stages of the opening frame as an ace by Tim Ramistella put it up, 14-10. MIT responded with a 7-3 spurt, capitalizing on a pair of hitting errors to even the game at 17. Following five ties and a lead change that moved the score to 22, a back row hit from Eric Reuland and a kill by Scott Pollom ignited an 8-2 spurt that closed out the set for the Engineers.
The Cardinal and Gray carried the momentum into the second stanza as it established a 15-8 advantage. The Saints continued to attack, eventually narrowing the gap to two (23-21) on a kill by Michael Townsend. MIT recorded four unanswered points to gain some breathing room. However, Emmanuel picked up four out the next five, the last on a block by Townsend and Keoni Rabaino, to bring it within three (28-25). A blast by David Thomas ended the Saints' hopes of extending the late rally as each side traded points to wrap up the game.
Although the Engineers won the previous set, the momentum shifted towards the visitors as they registered a 14-9 lead in the third frame. MIT countered by scoring eight out of the next 11 points to even the game at 17. A kill by Emmanuel's Matt Salvi sparked a 13-6 run that sealed the game. During that stretch the Engineers narrowed the gap to two on a pair of occasions, but the Saints controlled the tempo en route to the win.
Emmanuel had the upper hand in the fourth game as it fought off four ties before taking an 18-14 lead on a block by Salvi and Alexander Petty. Following its own timeout, MIT recorded a 5-2 spurt that brought it within one (20-19). This was as close as it would get as the Saints converted miscues by the Engineers to force an extra frame.
A trio of errors helped MIT notch a 3-1 edge, but Emmanuel picked up the next three points with Rabaino registering the go-ahead kill. The Engineers responded with a 5-1 run as a kill and an ace by Michael Demyttenaere powered them to the changeover. Both squads exchanged points following the break, with a kill from Townsend bringing the Saints within three (10-7). Undeterred, MIT rattled off the final five points as a block by Pollom and Tim Lee clinched the match.
Thomas tallied a career-high 23 kills while Demyttenaere posted 12 kills and two aces. Pollom finished with eight kills, seven blocks, and two aces as Jeremy Velazquez notched seven digs and three aces. Eugene Jang collected nine digs as Lee totaled 50 assists and nine digs.
Curtis Abram registered a double-double for the Saints, amassing 20 kills and 15 digs, to go along with two aces. Townsend had 16 kills as Jacob DeLuise anchored the defense with 23 digs. Salvi rounded out the squad with 12 kills and four blocks.
Both squads will continue action on Saturday, March 21. MIT will close out its regular season with a tri-match at Albertus Magnus College that will include Mount Ida College. Emmanuel will also be competing in a tri-match, hosting Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) foe Johnson & Wales University and SUNY New Paltz.

I'm not surprised at all that there's either been zero or very little interest in Flynn. It was the same last offseason. I know a lot of people thought a weak QB market would make it advantageous to move him, but it doesn't appear so, at least of right now. If we keep him, he'll be cut in the next offseason.
I'm still open and hopefuly to being pleasantly surprised this year.
