Marchman Act in Orange County (FL), FL for Obtaining Court Ordered Addiction Recovery
Marchman Act Legal Services
In Orange County the Marchman Act process is started by filing a Request for Assessment and Stabilization (Detox) Petition and/or Treatment. Once the court has reviewed this petition, either through an Ex Parte process (no hearing required) or an actual hearing before the court, a court order may be entered. The determination of whether there will be an initial hearing or an Ex Parte review by the court is a strategic decision made between The Client and ARLS. The Respondent may be court ordered to immediately go to an Orange County government funded facility that has been pre-determined for completion of the assessment/stabilization/detox or be picked up by the law enforcement and delivered by them to the nearest Orange County government funded facility as ordered by the court for assessment / stabilization / detox. Following assessment/stabilization/detox, the Orange County facility will render their assessment and make a recommendation for treatment to the court. Generally court officials cannot dictate the level of care and have no influence on the level of treatment or type of treatment the Respondent will receive. The trained professionals base their treatment recommendation and the level of care based on the Respondent's needs. Typically, treatment is Outpatient, Day-treatment, Intensive Outpatient Treatment and/or Residential.
The next step in the Marchman Act process is the filing a Treatment Petition (if one has not previously been filed and is warranted). The Orange County circuit court judge will review this petition and the treatment recommendation by the clinician, to decide whether to order the Respondent to comply with this recommendation. If the Orange County circuit court orders treatment, the order will be in place for a period of sixty (60) days. If the Respondent voluntarily enters treatment prior to the treatment petition being granted ARLS will request to schedule a status of the case for the Respondent to appear before the Court within 2-4 weeks. Should the Respondent still be compliant with treatment at that time – another status can be requested by ARLS. In essence, even though a treatment order has not been granted, the Respondent will recognize the possibility of said order being entered in the future for any failure to remain in treatment. If a treatment order has been entered and the Respondent is non-compliant in any way, ARLS will file a Rule to Show Cause with the court and bring the Respondent before the Judge for violating the court order and seek sanctions. Generally, the judge will have a hearing, and if proven, give the Respondent one more opportunity to return to treatment and comply with the court order to avoid incarceration. Should the respondent yet again fail to comply with the court order they will be found in civil contempt and possibly incarcerated until they are ready to return to treatment. It is important to note, serving time for contempt does not invalidate the existence or duration of the original order for treatment. The Respondent must continue treatment pursuant to the original order subsequent to being released from custody.
Although the Respondent is recommended at one particular level of care during the assessment the clinicians may increase or decrease the level of care at any time. Often, a Respondent, based on their participation (or, lack thereof) may start at one level of care, but subsequently need a higher or lower level of care based upon their participation in the treatment process – this is not uncommon and should be expected. ARLS will monitor the Respondent and bring the Respondent before the Orange County circuit court Judge as many times as necessary to force the Respondent to comply with the treatment recommendations during the sixty (60) day period. Prior to the end of the 60 day treatment period, should the Respondent still meet Marchman Act criteria, based on a medical professionals recommendation, an extension can be filed for up to an additional ninety (90) days. Although ARLS and the court cannot dictate the level of care, they are able to enforce the court order so that the Respondent receives the treatment they need during the court ordered period.
Medical Confidentiality in Orange County:
Federal HIPAA Law and the rules of confidentiality are very strict and can be frustrating for The Client when the Respondent refuses to sign a release and of information. The Client will undoubtedly be frustrated when a Orange County treatment facility is unable to answer questions regarding the respondent's treatment due to a consent not being signed. To ensure continued enforcement, ARLS will request the court order the treatment provider to testify in support of any necessary motions or petitions pending before the court.
Note: Although the Orange County treatment facility cannot disclose information without a release of information or court order, this does not stop ARLS from returning to court if The Client observes that the Respondent is failing to comply with treatment, or, has relapsed.
Confidentiality of Court Proceedings in Orange County:
In many counties throughout the State of Florida, Marchman Act proceedings are deemed confidential by local administrative order. However, in some counties various legal pleadings must be filed to request that the court protect and make confidential these proceedings. Regardless, in Orange County ARLS will file all necessary legal pleadings to request that the information contained in the Marchman Act litigation is deemed confidential.
Ex-Parte Petitions in Orange County:
An Ex-Parte Petition requests the court to enter an order having the Respondent involuntarily placed into assessment/stabilization/detox without a hearing based solely on the information in the petition. If granted, a judge will order the Respondent to be picked up and delivered to the pre-determined Orange County government facility for assessment, stabilization and/or detox. The pick-up order will be execute by law enforcement. Typically within, twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours after filing, the Respondent will be picked up and taken to the detox facility, unless the Respondent flees or evades law enforcement. It is very important the Respondent have no knowledge of the proceedings to maximize success.
Non-compliant Respondents and Contempt of Court in Orange County:
The reason you are seeking assistance through the Marchman Act is because you have someone in your life that refuses to enter treatment or repeatedly leaves treatment against medical advice and continues to abuse substances without any consequence. The Marchman Act does not provide any articulated consequence for failure to comply with a Orange County court order. However the Marchman Act is a civil court preceding that allows the attorneys at ARLS to utilized and implement the Court's contempt powers. Should a Respondent not comply with the Orange County court order, ARLS will file the necessary pleadings and hold additional court hearings to utilize the court's contempt powers as a consequence for the Respondent's failure to comply. ARLS creates consequences for abusing substances where none has existed before.
Service of Process in Orange County:
The Marchman Act is a civil procedure (not criminal). Accordingly, a Respondent has the right to be noticed of any court proceeding and a right to appear. The Respondent has the right to know the time, date, allegations and specific location of a hearing. The Respondent can choose not to attend the hearing, but must be noticed properly regardless. A hearing in Orange County court house may take place without the Respondent being present, if proper service has been met and is demonstrated to the court. There are two manners of service: (1) service by a law enforcement officer of Orange County, or, (2) by private process server. ARLS recommends that The Client pays to have private service of process arranged through ARLS to best coordinate the time and place for the Respondent to be served. A law enforcement officer from Orange County will serve the Respondent at their discretion and outside the control of ARLS. If the officer arrives, and the Respondent not present, service will not be effectuated. This will ultimately result in delaying all legal proceedings. ARLS, through the use of private process service, will coordinate and ensure proper service resulting in no delay.
How long will it take to get a Marchman Act hearing in Orange County?
The law provides time frames that the court system needs to adhere to upon filing. Within ten (10) days of filing of the petition a hearing must be held or a decision be made ex-parte. ARLS will do everything in our power to expedite all hearings in Orange County. It is important for The Client to understand that ARLS has no control over the clerk or court system. ARLS will work diligently with the Orange County court system to ensure that the law is followed in its entirety.
Does the Respondent need an attorney in Orange County?
The Respondent, by statute, has the right to an attorney at every stage of the proceedings. A court appointed attorney will be available to the Respondent in Orange County, if they are unable to obtain counsel due to financial reasons. The Respondent does have the right to hire a private attorney.
Can the Marchman act be filed again in Orange County once exhausted?
Yes.The Marchman Act can be filed as many times as is necessary in Orange County. However, ARLS is required by law to begin a new process for each filing. Fees and services would be incurred for any new proceeding in the future if warranted.
Communication with ARLS from Orange County:
ARLS operates throughout the State of Florida and has your best interests in mind. Our office works as a team to make sure the process runs smoothly for everyone. Your calls are extremely important. We do appreciate your understanding when we are not able to take your call immediately. Your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Who does ARLS Represent in Orange County?
The attorneys at ARLS have lectured at many hospitals, to doctors, substance abuse professionals and treatment providers. ARLS has no formal financial relationship with any substance abuse providers or Orange County government facility. We represent you – The Client.
Private Treatment Programs vs. Indigent Treatment Programs in Orange County:
Substance abuse treatment is either paid for privately (cash) or through pre-existing, personal insurance plans. If neither the Respondent nor the Client has the ability to pay for treatment, the only treatment alternative is typically the use of a Orange County government funded indigent program. The Client must recognize that the use of any treatment program that is not paid for privately or through insurance typically results in a delay of the Marchman Act process. Orange County government funded treatment programs typically have limited bed availability and treatment capacity, which may result in the Respondent being placed on a waiting list for a bed for detox or residential treatment. ARLS will enforce compliance by the Respondent of the rules and regulations of the Orange County government run program, while waiting for an available bed. However, The Client must recognize that any delay in providing immediate treatment influences the chances for immediate success. Should The Client have the ability to pay for treatment privately (cash) or utilize insurance, ARLS will present this alternative treatment option to the Respondent as an alternative to the potential delays of an indigent based treatment program.

This morning wasn't a great one for us here.
When I logged on to our site to see this as our main page:
Egg on our faces I guess. We are still investigating the cause of the hack. No real damaged was done besides our egos. Nothing was deleted besides a few php files here and there. Seems that the French part of the blog was the hardest hit. We are aware of a few possibilities, but before I venture a guess on how everything played out I'll just leave it at that. Once we take the time to figured the exact root of the problem, be assured we'll share it with everyone.
To ATesS, the person or group claiming responsibility for the hack. I really don't have much to say unfortunately. Good job? euh… not really. I don't see the point of defacing low profile, small time sites like ours. We are far from being popular, and never proclaimed to be expert security people. From the beginning we've been saying we are enthusiast and nothing more. So the reason for the attack is lost on us. Can we appreciate the work you put into this? I suppose so. Time and effort was obviously put into doing this. Effort, in my opinion, that could've been put to more constructive and legal activities… but that's just me. So enjoy the time the site was "down" or "defaced" which wasn't for very long I must say. Hope you got a kick out of it, but really get a girlfriend and get laid it's way more fun 😉
This must serve as a lesson to all. A good backup solution is a must… I speak of experience. Recently I lost hundreds of baby pictures due to a hardware failure. The irony was, I was performing a backup at the time on an external device (I was able to get them back). Not only did I lose baby pictures (of my first born mostly), we also lost our e-mail server. We are slowly putting things back to normal.
On to good news now. I've been away from some time now due to the birth of my son. He's (at the time of this writing) 5 weeks old. Becoming a father all over again is a great feeling. My daughter will now have someone to play with soon. No plans for a third… lol
So until I get my hardware issues fixed, and family life back to "normal" my posts will be few and far between unfortunately.
Thanks for your support.
Have a good one,

Oswego State - 52, Farmingdale State - 46
New York, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team was outscored 25-18 in the second half en route to a 52-46 non-conference loss to Oswego State in the New Year's Classic hosted by NYU.
The Rams (3-5) held a one point advantage to start the second half, until Oswego's Meagan Stover (Lake George, N.Y.) connected on a 3-pointer followed by back-to-back layups, which put the Lakers ahead 34-28. Farmingdale State responded with baskets from Jasmine Davis (Freeport, N.Y.) and Kayla Koch (Kings Park, N.Y.) to cut the deficit to 34-32 with 15:28 remaining.
Trailing 43-36 with 7:17 left on the clock, the Rams used a 6-0 run over the next 2:20 capped off by a Janel Monah (Brooklyn, N.Y.) layup to pull within 43-42. The Lakers (8-4) extended their lead to five with only 2:27 remaining after hitting a 3-pointer and converting a free-throw. Farmingdale State would close within three late but fell 52-46.
Davis led the Rams with 10 points and three assists, while senior forward Dominique Cunningham (Amityville, N.Y.) had a team-high 10 rebounds.
Oswego State's Kayla Ryan (Schaghticoke, N.Y.) scored a game-high 14 points, while Stover pitched in with 12 points and six boards.
Farmingdale State next will travel to Mount Saint Vincent for a Skyline Conference game on Saturday, January 7th at 1:00 p.m.

Farewell Sovereignty
Stephen Sedley
- The Tyrannicide Brief: The Story of the Man who Sent Charles I to the Scaffold by Geoffrey Robertson
Chatto, 429 pp, £20.00, October 2005, ISBN 0 7011 7602 4
When I read for the English Bar in the 1960s, the legal history lecturer stopped when he reached 1649 and explained that he was now moving directly to 1660, because everything that had happened between the trial of the king and the restoration of the monarchy was a nullity. By this simple and efficient process John Cooke, the barrister who prosecuted Charles I, has been airbrushed from history, save by a handful of historians of the trial who have written him off as a hack. Geoffrey Robertson has set out to rescue him from the enormous disregard of posterity, and from the ignominy of his death in 1660 by hanging, drawing and quartering.
Robertson is a practising barrister and has served as the president of the Sierra Leone war crimes tribunal. He is also a media personality, a status which tends to sit uneasily with scholarship. But, if one forgives the unnecessary double entendre of its title and its sometimes excessively feisty prose, this is a scholarly book. To say scholarly is not, of course, to say impartial: writing as counsel for Cooke's defence, Robertson launches some damaging salvos at dismissive historians. The worst of them by far is J.G. Muddiman, a passionate monarchist (and a descendant of Henry Muddiman, known to Pepys as 'an arch-rogue', first an apologist for the Rump Parliament and then one of the Restoration's principal political witchhunters) who edited the trial of Charles I for the Notable British Trials series and whose treatment of Cooke is a farrago of prejudice and error.
Robertson's purpose is twofold: to write the first biography of Cooke, and in doing so to vindicate the regicides, Cooke prominent among them, as precursors of modern international human rights law. This is not quite as far-fetched as it sounds. The crime of tyranny for which Charles was tried and executed is now, Robertson argues, recognised as an offence justiciable in every country's courts. International law may meanwhile have substituted sovereign immunity for divine right, but human rights law has since 1946 gradually broken through this shield, placing the worst crimes of rulers against their people within the reach of justice and beyond impunity. It may have been, as Robertson says it was, the ruling of the House of Lords that Spain could extradite Pinochet on charges of torture which turned the tide of head-of-state immunity on which Pol Pot, Idi Amin and a good many other despots had managed to sail away to safety; but it should not be forgotten that Chile's own legal system was already investigating charges against its former dictator. Robertson may not be right in his claim that Slobodan Milosevic is the first ruler since Charles I to stand trial before a full court for crimes against his own people (Jean-Bédel Bokassa was tried, convicted and sentenced to death in 1987 for treason against his own people, though he eventually walked free), but he is right to point out that both Milosevic and Saddam Hussein have confronted their tribunals with the same question as the Stuart monarch put to his: by what authority do you try me? The bald answer in each case has been the same: the authority of the power that has supplanted yours.

text: Hi, I installed ISPConfig 3.0.5 RC2 and it says that the backup should include the database which is beautifull but if I choose "download" in the backup section, the backup included in the /backup doesn't contain the database file which is less beautifull I think. Am I doing something wrong or is the database only included in the restore process? Thanks for the answer.

While we were out on the west coast watching the action at the 2013 Amgen Tour of California, we dropped by the 2 Fuji-sponsored pro teams in the peloton, Team Champion System and Team NetApp-Endura. Both teams put up a strong showing in the race, including a victory on top of Mount Diablo, the Queen stage of the race, by Leopold Koenig of Team NetApp. Don't miss our photo galleries of Stage 6, Stage 7, and Stage 8 over on our Facebook page to see more of the race.
Of course since we were so close to these pro bikes, we couldn't miss the chance to do a quick bike check to see how they set up their Fuji Altamira and SST road bikes. Read on below to find out what Ryan Roth of Team Champion System and Leopold Koenig of Team NetApp-Endura rode in America's biggest race.
Ryan Roth – Team Champion System – Fuji SST Team
Ryan is a 30 year old "all-rounder" for Team Champion System, and has been a pro cyclist for 7 years. Ryan is the current Canadian national road champion and at 5'9″ tall, he rides a 54cm Fuji SST Team C10 High Modulus frame in Team Champion System colors.
His bike is outfitted with 2012 SRAM Red components (10 speed), including a 53-39 SRAM crank with an SRM power meter and Speedplay Zero pedals with stainless steel spindles.
The stem is an Oval Concepts R700 aluminum model, 130mm in length – note the stage's important info taped to the top.
Red Velo bar tape (for Canadian pride) wraps around an Oval Concepts 700 aluminum handlebar, with a fairly round drop (and a 5mm spacer below the stem).
Custom number plate mount is definitely a pro touch.
Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 23mm tubular tires are mounted to Oseous T-FCC 38 carbon wheels (38mm deep).
Out back, Ryan either ran an 11-25 or 11-26 cassette (a SRAM PG-1070 model to add weight), with a PC-1091 chain.
Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow team edition saddle (with anatomic cutout & ti rails).
In talking to the team mechanic, he noted that it doesn't take much to keep the bikes spotless, since they are washed every night. Just a light spray down with very gentle cleaners (like diluted Dawn detergent) and water, then a light lube for the chain. At most they are only cleaning off one day's worth of road grime. And nothing is changed on the bike unless the rider asks for it – wheels, tires and cassettes are left with the bike at all times unless the rider specifically requests a change. Most of the team riders rode the same wheels and cassettes on every stage, even the climbing stages. At most they would use an 11-26 – that's all you can use if you want to keep up with the group on the climbs! An 11-28 cassette sounds nice, but if you shifted into those gears you would immediately get dropped and lose too much time.
Leopold Koenig – Team NetApp-Endura – Fuji Altamira SL
This is Leopold Koenig's second year riding for Team NetApp – a 25 year old from the Czech Republic, Leo has been a pro since 2007. A climber and GC contender by nature, 5'9″ Leo piloted his Fuji Altamira SL C15 Ultra Light High Modulus carbon frame, a 54cm model in custom NetApp colors, to victory in the mountainous stage 7 of the 2013 Amgen Tour of California (after placing 8th in the stage 6 individual time trial).
Drivetrain duties were handled by new Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 series components (mechanical 11 speed), with a 53-39 crankset (although Leo runs an SRM power meter on his race bike) and Speedplay Zero Pedals.
In back there was an 11-25 cassette, with a Dura-Ace 11-speed chain.
Lightweight Oval Concepts 924 carbon tubular wheels were shod in Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 23mm tubular tires.
The Oval Concepts 713 aluminum stem measured 130mm, and there was no spacer below the stem.
Oval Concepts 700s aluminum handlebars, with a short drop, were wrapped in Prologo bar tape.
Leo uses a Prologo Zero TR saddle with sturdy titanium rails.
While this was Leo's backup bike, it was outfitted exactly the same as his primary race bike (with the exception of an SRM power meter) – the same bike that conquered Stage 7 of the 2013 Amgen Tour of California, the Queen Stage of the race that finished on top of the mighty Mount Diablo. But the Altamira isn't just a lightweight bike for climbers – on the final stage in Santa Rosa, Daniel Schorn of Team NetApp came up just short in a pure drag race to the finish, taking second place behind Peter Sagan.

Two years ago, Congress voted to allow the Veterans Administration to issue new ID cards to veterans. Recently, the website to sign up for the cards went online but crashed due to the high demand from veterans.
It is no surprise the card is in high demand as it replaces the need to have to carry around cumbersome DD214 paperwork when applying for veteran's benefits. The card also allows veterans to take advantage of sales promotions at stores, restaurants and elsewhere.
VA Secretary, David Shulking sees a clear advantage for veterans.
"The new Veteran ID card provides a safer and more convenient, efficient way for veterans to show proof of service," he said.
Initially the card carried a fee to be paid by the veteran, but that is no longer true.
"Office Depot is donating the printing and shipping," Curt Cashour, a VA spokesman said.
The card contains the veteran's name, photo and ID number. The card should not be confused with veteran medical ID card. The new card is not a replacement for the medical ID card.
Any veteran who served in the armed forces, including reserves and has an honorable or general discharge can request the new ID card.
Looking out for older veterans, AARP issued their own statement. "The VA has temporarily halted the online application for the new ID cards after the website crash. Meanwhile veterans are asked to submit their email addresses to receive updates."
Bryan Watters, North Dakota Veteran Service Officer was not surprised about the crash. Speaking from his experience with technology, he understands what happens when it is taxed and so much demand occurs.
"This thing was put together two years ago and went on line a few weeks ago. The demand was high. Once we are past the initial rush the website service will likely improve. Right now there is no paper " "work around" but veterans may check with vets.gov website to get more information.
I recommend Veterans who are interested in this card contact their local CVSO for assistance. Their local Library is also an excellent resource to get access to the internet and Librarians can help them navigate the web. If the Veteran is retired from the military, they have a Military Retiree ID Card and they do not need this new card. I work at the state level and am not involved with the Federal VA so I do not have many answers. Based on my experience with any new thing with a high demand, there will be issues and delays. I am sure the VA is working on the issues as fast as they can," he said.
Watter's suggestion about contacting the local library was welcome news to Julie Herbel, New Town Librarian.
"Veterans are more than welcome to come in and use one of our eleven computers to apply. The ID card is a good thing and we will do everything in our power to help them," Herbel said.
Veterans should have a digital photo and a scanned digital copy of their DD214 to submit with their ID card request. The cards can be requested at https://www.vets.gov/veteran-id-card.

A warrant for Ridgecrest resident William Dale Howard to appear in court following the Kern County District Attorney's office decision to file a court case is currently awaiting a judge's signature, according to a deputy district attorney.
A warrant for Ridgecrest resident William Dale Howard to appear in court following the Kern County District Attorney's office decision to file a court case is currently awaiting a judge's signature, according to a deputy district attorney.
Deputy DA Scott Garver confirmed Friday that the DA's office filed a case against Howard on Thursday for 12 violations of section 372 of the California Penal Code and one violation of city zoning ordinance.
A court date is pending the judge's signature of the warrant and delivery by the Ridgecrest police department.
Garver said 12 lots that Howard owns or asserts control over are in violation of maintaining a public nuisance in regard to an alleged amount of junk on his properties.
"The 13th charge regarding the city municipal code is concerning the peacocks on his property," Garver said.
Garver said Howard's maintaining of peacocks violated the city's R1 residential zoning ordinance. R1, which includes single-family residents, does not permit fowl like peacocks to be kept on the property.
"There has been a lot of complaints in the neighborhood about how loud they (the peacocks) have been," Garver said. "Nothing in the R1 zoning code allows for the raising of fowl."
The case is just the recent chapter in a number of legal actions against Howard.
Howard had previously faced 37 misdemeanor counts against him in a different case filed against him on Jan. 29, 2011, following a probable cause report filed in Aug. 2010 by Code Enforcement Officer Bob Smith.
Smith's report details how many of Howard's properties violated the state Penal Code and many city municipal code ordinances, including section 20-1.2, which bears the definition "junk yard."
Howard's property in the 1100 block of Mayo Street is occupied by several sea van containers.
The DA's office dismissed the case Aug. 16 of this year without prejudice.
Garver dispelled claims that the dismissal of the charges were a legal win for Howard. The reason for dismissal was due to the case's age.
"By the time it was dismissed, it was two years old," Garver said. The makeup of the property had changed and the photos and evidence were outdated.
"We cleaned it up and made some changes," Garver said.
Initially, trespassing charges had been considered in the current case, both concerning two lots Howard had no authority over but maintained belongings on.
Reports that Howard was clearing things off the lot were confirmed by Garver.
"According to Ridgecrest police, he seems to have made a good-faith effort in clearing his belongs from those properties," Garver said.
Moving forward on trespassing charges would gain nothing, he said. However, moving the items only mitigated the problem since the items would just be moved to properties Howard owns.
Howard said he had no knowledge of the new case pending a court date.
"This is the first I have heard about it," Howard said over the phone Friday. "I haven't been served with a court date."
Howard declined further comment on the case.
In addition to the pending court date regarding the 13 misdemeanor counts, Howard faces a civil receivership case filed against him by the City of Ridgecrest.
"We are still going forward with the civil case," said RPD Capt. Paul Wheeler on Friday.
Ridgecrest filed a civil receivership action against Howard on Sept. 19 per section 17920 of the California Health and Safety Code. The receivership case pertains to 16 properties owned or under Howard's influence. In addition the case names six other defendants: Dorrance Anne Howard, Betty Joan Whitley, Peter Lam, Mosely Martin and the businesses William G. and Imalda Ivey Trust and Aurora Dorrance, LLC.
Under the receivership action, if the court ruled against Howard, the properties would fall under a court-approved receiver to be cleaned up. Howard would be offered the properties back for the cost of the clean-up fees.
The first hearing for the civil case is set for March 18, 2013 at the Kern County Superior Court in Bakersfield.
Wheeler, who dropped the criminal misdemeanor case on the DA's desk, said the only objective city had was for Howard to clean up his properties.
"If we can get a conviction, we're hoping the terms of Mr. Howard's probation would be to clean up his properties," Wheeler said.
Until then, the notice to appear still awaits a judge's signature, Garver said. Once it's signed, a court date will be assigned.
"Our concern has always been for Mr. Howard to clean up his properties," Garver said.

Dec. 6, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Christa Margossian notched a team-high 16 points and nine rebounds in MIT's 68-48 loss to Emmanuel College on Tuesday night. The Saints remained perfect in non-conference play as their record improved to 6-0 while the Engineers fell to 3-4 on the year.
A lay-up by Margossian on Tech's opening possession gave MIT its only lead of the night as Emmanuel responded with a 22-6 run during the next 10 minutes. The Engineers recorded the next eight points, narrowing their margin to 22-16 with 5:33 remaining in the half. Margossian started the spurt with a pair of free throws, which were followed by Sharon Prange sinking three out of four shots from the charity stripe. Michal Ruchelsman capped the run with the first of her two three-pointers. MIT stayed within striking distance, as it trailed, 34-25, at the intermission.
The Saints started the second stanza with a 21-6 run that extended their lead to 27 (58-31) at the 7:58 mark. Clara Yuan stopped the scoring spree with a trey, giving the Engineers their first points in over four minutes. Prange and Amy Marshall continued to find success at the free throw line, making both of their shots as MIT went a season-high 19-of-22 (.864) for the night. Margossian accounted for Tech's final 10 points during the last 5:46 of the game.
Prange posted 13 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the charity stripe as Alice Yeh grabbed five rebounds. Ruchelsman finished with 10 points coming off the bench while Marshall picked up a team-high four steals.

rockford, il
I'm not sure if my mom got it from me, or I got it from her, but we both love a good farmer's market. We're fortunate to have one on Wednesdays just up the street from our family home in Rockford, Illinois, so during my week home resting and cooking in my virtual test kitchen (mom's kitchen), my sister Jenny and I went to check it out. I hadn't been in years, maybe even ten, and I wasn't prepared for what we found there—an absolute jewel of a market filled with astoundingly delicious locally-grown produce at incredibly fair prices. There's also world-class cheeses, alluring bunches of fresh flowers and the best pizza I've had all summer (which is saying something, since I live in New York).
While I can't claim to have tried it all, here are three standouts that should not be missed:
Van Laar's Fruit Farm Stand
Capron, IL
It was the sweet face of Rachel Van Laars, the fourth of the five Van Laar's children, that got my attention as much as the sweet corn she was selling. Her conversation kept me there, the confident manner in which she conducted business and answered my questions about life on the farm with her brothers and sisters. Admittedly, I wanted to crawl inside their family truck and head home, if just for a day, to what seems a more innocent world, the precious and fleeting institution of the family farm. Instead, I took home an armful of their sweet corn and heaps of heirloom tomatoes, which delivered on their promise of simpler times. Besides their inviting selection of fruits and vegetables, don't miss their locally grown and milled whole-wheat four and wheat berries.
Cheese from The Cheese People of Beloit
Beloit, WI
Here you'll find an all-around great selection of fresh and aged cheese, mostly regional (yah for artisan Wisconsin cheese!) with the occasional import (like the buttery sheep's milk Lamb Chopper from Cypress Grove). Do not miss the Raspberry Bellavitano from Wisconsin, a subtly sweet and sharp cheese aged in New Glarus Raspberry Ale, named the Best New Cheese and Cheese of the Year at the 2008 World Cheese Awards in Ireland. The Cheese People keep their cheeses wrapped in plastic due to local health codes, but since cheese is a living, breathing food, be sure to rewrap it in wax or cheese paper before you store it in your fridge. Or better yet, put it out right away to enjoy.
WoodFire Brick Oven Pizza by Joe D'Astice
Rockford, IL
This pizza is every bit as good as it looks. Let the line that forms in front of the mobile brick-oven operation speak for itself. Eight dollars will buy you a very, very good lunch.
There are a dozen or more farmers worth getting acquainted with at this market alone (like the folks selling the brilliant bouquets of zinnias, and the lady at the south end who sold me plump organic eggplant and crisp purple peppers). I'll be returning once more on my way to O'Hare as I head back east, and again and again whenever I'm in town.
In case you miss today's Edgebrook market, here's a list of all the farmer's markets, locations, dates and times in Rockford.
Newburg Road & Alpine Road
Late May through October, Fridays from 9am to 1pm.
Edgebrook Shopping Center
Wednesdays. First week in June - last week in October: 9 am to 1 pm.
222 Seventh Street
Fridays, 3pm to 8pm. The best produce from our local farmers including seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs, plants, flowers and more.
1400 North Main Street, West lot
Saturdays, May through October, from 8am to noon.
YMCA South Lot, 215 Y Blvd
Tuesdays and Saturdays, 8am to noon. Take time out of your busy day to do some healthy eating shopping which features low prices and locally grown organic produce.
Perryville Commons, South Perryville Road and Fincham Drive
Saturdays through October from 9am to 1pm.

Quick Facts About
In TheBody.com's HIV/AIDS Organization Spotlight series, we focus on some of the true unsung heroes of the HIV community: the organizations that support and provide services for individuals living with, or at risk for, HIV. We profile some of the best in the U.S. and learn how they got started, what challenges they face and what's in store for them in the future.
This week, we turn our sights on Boston, Mass. According to the Massachusetts Department of Health, 30,537 state residents were living with HIV infection at the end of 2009. Even as the number of new HIV diagnoses has fallen dramatically, the number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Massachusetts has increased 42 percent from 1998 to 2008. Meanwhile, support and funding for HIV/AIDS organizations has not remotely matched this increase. Despite this budget-tightening, AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts (AAC) continues to serve those infected and affected by HIV every day.
TheBody.com recently interviewed Rebecca Haag, the president and chief executive of AAC.
What was AAC's original mission, and how has it changed over time?
The original mission of AIDS Action Committee was simply to provide support for people with AIDS, many of whom were dying. Those early days -- AIDS Action Committee was founded in 1983 -- were chaotic and frightening. Our mission has naturally changed over the years. Today, we are focused on stopping the epidemic and related health inequities by eliminating new infections; maximizing healthier outcomes of those infected and at risk; and attacking the root causes of HIV/AIDS.
What services do you currently offer?
Our work falls into three areas: client services, policy advocacy and public education. In terms of services, we offer HIV counseling and testing, needle exchange, mental health counseling, peer support, transportation and housing assistance, case management and client advocacy, legal services, and check in (through which volunteers connect with clients to keep them in care).
We also offer programs tailored especially for those disproportionately impacted by HIV: transgender women (through TransCEND, a community-based HIV prevention and health education project by and for transgender women), men who have sex with men (through the MALE Center, a health and wellness program for gay and bisexual men), young people (though Youth on Fire, a drop-in center for homeless and street-involved youth), women (through Project LEAP Peer Leadership, empowerment for women affected by HIV/AIDS), and older people (through PALS, a.k.a. Positive Aging, Lasting Strength).
We also advocate for state- and federally funded HIV policy that works. In order to end the epidemic, HIV prevention and care policies must be evidence-based, and the programs produced by these policies must be publicly and privately supported to be successful. Our related programs in this arena include the HIV Health & Policy Institute, which connects research, community input and political advocacy to confront the epidemic; and the National Health Behavioral Surveillance, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) led study of behaviors that put people at high risk for poor health.
Public education remains critical, and we provide multiple channels for people to connect to factual, timely, and relevant information about HIV/AIDS and related topics: HIV/STD and Hepatitis Hotlines, including STD411.org and MariaTalks.com; HIV Health Library; AIDS Walk & 5K Run Boston (the largest community awareness and fundraising event for HIV/AIDS in New England); social media; and the Bayard Rustin Community Breakfast (an annual call-to-action event for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities of color in Boston).
What is the biggest challenge that AAC faces?
Complacency and ignorance. We are 30 years into this epidemic. With the amazing advances that have been made in treatment and care, HIV/AIDS is largely seen as a manageable, chronic illness on par with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Of course, that's not the case. It's a long-term, chronic and complicated disease that often co-presents with hepatitis C infection, poorly controlled mental health disorders, social/cultural isolation and substance abuse.
Meanwhile, sexuality education of our young people is inconsistent at best. The most recent HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report from the CDC finds that more than half (53.4 percent) of all newly reported HIV/AIDS cases occurred among persons in their 20s (29 percent) or 30s (24.4 percent). An astounding 5.2 percent of cases occurred among people under age 20, with the vast majority of those in the 15-to-19 age group.
Any challenges specific to being in Boston, or Massachusetts in general?
In some ways, we are victims of our success. Massachusetts is a national leader in reducing new HIV infection diagnoses. From 1998 to 2008, the state reduced new HIV diagnoses by 59 percent. This means a $1.6 billion in savings in health care costs to the commonwealth. Yet, the state has cut its HIV/AIDS line item by more than $2 million the last two years; the budget just passed by our state senate proposes another $2 million-plus cut. If we look back 10 years, we see that the state has reduced its investment in HIV/AIDS prevention, education and outreach by more than 25 percent even as the number of people living with HIV over the same period has increased 42 percent.
What, for you, is the most rewarding aspect of working at an organization such as yours?
My work is largely focused on the big-picture concerns of running a large social services and public policy advocacy agency -- and, of course, in working with the board in developing a strategic vision and direction for our work. But I get energized when I hear the stories from our clients about how we have helped them through crisis; how they are now living in stable housing; or how they have managed to become clean and sober and are now living healthier lives.
I literally watch some folks who come into our offices broken by the system and a year later are healthy and self-confident. Many are now helping others who are newly diagnosed and trying to navigate the health care system while getting their lives in order. We are truly making a positive difference in people's lives, and there's no better work than that.
What is one thing people probably don't know about AAC that they should?
We provide services to one in six people in Massachusetts living with a diagnosis of HIV. We make a real, tangible difference in the lives of thousands of people in Massachusetts.
What direction is the organization moving toward? Where do you see AAC three years from now?
We want to see a transformation of the health care delivery system so that a person doesn't need to be HIV positive in order to be eligible for our services. We want to be able to intervene and keep someone who is HIV negative, but vulnerable to infection, from contracting HIV in the first place.
We know that, by reducing new HIV diagnoses by 59 percent over the last decade in Massachusetts, we have saved lives, reduced human suffering and saved the state's health care system more than $1.6 billion in health care costs. We also want to see much more highly coordinated and integrated care for those living with HIV/AIDS. Care is prevention.
You can support continued success for AAC's programs and services by volunteering or donating.

The Saniaccess2 is simplicity itself to install; there are just five connections.
The inside of the unit comprises of a pressure chamber, which starts and stops the unit, and the motor, which drives the stainless steel macerator blades and the pump.
When the flush is activated, the water flowing into the Saniaccess2 activates a micro switch in the pressure chamber, which in turn starts the motor. The motor is sealed for life in an oil filled enclosure. A common spindle/shaft drives the impeller and the macerator blades. The moving parts therefore are kept to an absolute minimum. Water and organic waste matter enter the chamber and are reduced to slurry as the macerator blades rotate at 3600 RPM. The centrifugal force causes the reduced solids to be ejected through a grill into the container where it is picked up by the impeller pump mounted beneath the motor. The unit pumps the effluent upward to 15 feet and/or 150 feet horizontally (with gravity fall). Once the water level in the container goes down, the micro switch deactivates the unit until the flush is activated again. A normal operating cycle for Saniaccess2 takes about 10 - 15 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore minimal.
In addition to the toilet waste, the Saniaccess2 will also discharge gray water from a sink. The wastewater will drain into the system via a 1-1/2" inlet which is located on the side of the pump housing. Note that either side connection can be used for the vent or as an inlet.
The discharge elbow on top of the unit can be turned either to the left, to the right, or towards the back, depending on the discharge installation. A non-return valve, which comes already assembled on the discharge elbow, prevents back flow into the unit.
This unit has been designed with a 1-1/2" vent connection on the side of the pump housing. All plumbing codes require connection to a vent system. Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent. The use of mechanical vents, air admittance valves or similar devices are not permitted as these are considered one-way air vent systems. It is also highly recommended for the macerator/pump to be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
Periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily without having to disconnect the unit from either the toilet or the rest of the plumbing system. Through one service panel, a service contractor can access the electrical components as well as the level sensor mechanism of the pump. The second service panel provides ready access to the basket area around the macerating blades for easy removal of any large objects that may have been accidentally flushed.
The Saniaccess2 unit must be connected to our rear discharge toilet. This system uses much less water than a regular toilet. Note: This toilet only works in combination with Saniflo systems.
The Saniaccess2 has been certified to American and Canadian Standards. Macerating standard; US: CSA Certified & IAPMO (UPC) listed - ASME A112.3.4, CA: Macerating Standard CSA B45.9.
All items may be purchased separately. However, the Saniaccess2 works as a system and therefore a toilet bowl (003 or 087), toilet tank (005) and the macerating unit (081) need to be purchased. An optional extension pipe (030) is available for the pump to be installed behind the wall.
Round & Elongated Rear Discharge Toilets
Two style of toilets are available to purchase and install with your macerating unit.
|White - Round
|White - Elongated
(ADA Compliant)
Extension Pipe
SFA Saniflo introduced this accessory in order to ease the installation as this new addition made it simpler to hide the pump behind any finished wall. This Extension Pipe is used with the Sanitop, Saniplus, Sanipro and Sanibest Pro products.
The 18" extension pipe was designed with the idea to reduce time when installing our macerators. It has an inner gasket which connects to the rear spigot of the toilet without any difficulty. Its sealed connection keeps water from seeping out once the toilet is flushed.
Its ease of installation is the reason why installers recommend this accessory for any Saniflo installation. When using the extension pipe, the toilet bowl should be raised 3/8 inch for additional gravity flow toward the macerator box.
Regular descaling with specially formulated Saniflo descaler will prolong the unit's life and maintain optimum performance. It is specifically created for use with Saniflo products and laboratory formulated with phosphoric acid. Regular usage prolongs unit life, maintains efficiency and it is harmless to septic tank operation.

Famed sitarist Ravi Shankar, the estranged father of singer Norah Jones, has passed away at 92.
Ravi was admitted to Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California last week after having difficulty breathing and died on Tuesday (December 11) at approximately 4:30pm PT.
The sitarist was considered to be the driving force of introducing Indian music to the Western World and he forged a relationship with Beatles guitarist George Harrison, which helped him reach global fame.
Ravi continued to give virtuoso performances into his 90s, including one last year at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
We send our condolences out to Ravi's family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

I watched this episode and I have to say I was not expecting Horo to do that funny little whisker-line thing. It was quite funny. I also thought it was funny how Horo was acting like a little kid who broke her friend's toy when she was like "are you still mad?". XD
9/10, because I will watch the rest of this series.

A '9' .... excellent exposition of some of the complexities of our duo's personalities. Again some efficiency in storytelling, managing to show Horo as not being a simplistic archetype. I suspect my main complaint will be that a single cour was not enough for this series.
yeah, her "Are you still mad?" kind of tore the heartstrings there.

I must say I'm not interested much in what's happening. The story keeps on looking "plain".
Will I be watching the next episodes?
Oh, and I find the ED a bit too childish. Where are we here?

The interesting thing is that his review says more about him than the ser... well, the amazing part is that he's even in France apparently... where some of the basis for this type of story is part of the social and historical landscape (pre-christian local polytheism and animism, medieval motifs, economics of the Middle-Ages, etc).

As a fellow frenchman, the architecture of the villages / town reminded me more of Germany personnally (or rather the idea I have of Middle Age Germany)
For the polytheism and animism thing, well the entire gaul has been romanized by the pre-christian roman empire (battle of Alesia : 52 BC) and became christian with it. All pagans references quickly died as well as well as the roman ones. Pre-roman gaul was a celtic country (it wasn't really a country, it was a territory full of celtic tribes / kingdoms) and there is nothing in S&W that makes me think celtic or roman.
I thought the setting was more based on northern europe (mainly because wolfs have a bigger role in northern mythology and because their pagan tradition coexisted for a while with christianism and because they are headed north).

Last time I checked, France was part of Europe, but I didn't say that S&W was based on France The motifs, however, are common to most of Europe. France and England also have their "wolf" legends and all areas have various holiday festivals that have pre-Christian roots (discussed in other threads).
The series itself seems to start in Northern Italy during the pre-Renaissance and they may travel into Germany-like lands on their way to Scandanavian areas. There's some Medici period vibes to the first adventure.
The motifs of the setting, however, are common to much of Europe. And even though pagan influences officially stopped in 452 AD across Rome's empire .... the countryside and rural lands persisted with local traditions for centuries - well into the Renaissance. There are festivities to this day in England and other countries in Europe that trace directly back to pagan roots though most people may not know the history of their "town festival".
But you're just nailing the reason I'm scratching my head about the post I questioned -- you're showing awareness of the history of Europe (I've got a couple of tabletop wargames for replaying the battle of Alesia ).
I cock my eyebrow a bit at people who don't seem to be aware of their local history (local = european) in this case. I've got no problem with someone simply not finding S&W interesting -- but the post (and previous ones by him) is giving me vibes of a much more fundamental "not getting" what is going on.

Aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves? raphaël didn't explain why he felt the story is "plain" and it looks like he isn't keeping track of the ongoing discussion. I think it's a bit presumptious to think he is ignorant of his local customs as a result.
I recalled enjoying this episode because of Horo's cuteness. Looking back, this episode delved a little bit into Lawrence's past and showed us another side of Horo's personality we had not seen before. Plot-wise, the scene was being set for future developments, so nothing "major" happened per se. I guess that's why this episode can seem "plain" to some viewers.

explanation needed
I think there's an expression saying " culture and science are like jam, the less you have the more you spread them".
That's exactly why I don't like people like Vexx, when they come and try to make you look like an ass. I noticed men in their 50s tend to do that when they're confronted to younger people. And I'm usually not fooled by them. And yeah, I know much more about my "land" (Europe) than I show. But unlike some, I never spread.
Anyway, the fact is I really thought no one would read my post, and yes again, i just meant to write down how I felt about it in a few words. "Plain" because trying in vain to look "intellectual", "educative", or "high-class". Maybe i'll change my mind in a few episodes. Anyway, it's no wonder vexx likes it already.
Then, still, as TRL said, Horo is cute, but, to me, not that different from the other deity in bishoujo shape i've seen so far ( next time I hope I can give you names). And Lawrence doesn't appeal to me at all, sorry. Remember the wandering hero of mushishi? He was classier.
Now flame me as you please, i haven't been around for a long time. It's like I don't care being unpopular anymore.

Yeah, yeah... but if you're going to post, Raphael - you should expect people to read and comment or dispute. So if you had originally *explained* why you have the opinion you do -- we wouldn't have to guess why you label the series.
Nice age stereotyping and insulting of me to sidestep the discussion.
I was having to guess why you think what you do about the series.
I happen to work with a lot of bright young people (I'm a debate coach and math/physics tutor) and I'm "confronted with young people on a daily basis" ... so your remarks don't stick well. Also a nice insulting negrep, however, I'll refrain from a "return fire".
Thanks for explaining your basis for your opinion of the series though. It might have saved you from the guesses we had to make concerning your posts on ep 1 and 2.

I was going to just leave this alone until I saw he hit me, too.
Raphaël, quite frankly you strike me as someone who will appear to be unintelligent and then jump on people when they assume you are, if only to show them how wrong they are and draw attention to yourself. I really don't enjoy discussing anything with people who do this sort of thing. Like Vexx said, if you had bothered to (or not intentionally refrained from, whichever it was) explain what you didn't like instead of "I didn't like it and the ED is silly," which is usually considered trolling around here, we could have avoided all of this nonsense.
But at least now I know that I can safely ignore your posts.

here we go again
So yeah, the age stereotyping was completely intentional, and the moron thing too. I hate being insulted, just like everyone else. Oh, and just because you work with young people doesn't mean they all have to bow to everything you teach them.
Then OK, FPB, I used to post quite a lot here, and usually never received any feedback, so now I just happen to "concise" my posts, especially when I don't agree with the rest of the reviewers. That's my way to say "no, unanimity doesn't exist", and the thing is, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way, even here.
Call it trolling or whatever you want, It's my mistake and I'll live with it.
And please ignore my posts then. As I said, I wouldn't care less. It's just I like things to get straight when it comes to my "unintelligence".
I just tried to express how I despise intellectualization. Call me a retard if you like, I'd be actually quite proud to be that kind of retard.

One thing you have to understand about forums is that, other than what you say and how you say it, we have no other way to know what you're like. Since people who pop into threads just to say they don't like something to try and stir up a hornets' nest are common around here, and your post looked just like one of those posts.

OTOH, making a sweeping generalization based on a stereotype of an entire age group rather than critiquing what an individual has said *is* being insulting or worse. Calling someone a moron *is* being insulting -- quite a bit different than "you don't seem to be knowledgeable about this subject".
You're also putting words in my mouth -- I didn't say anyone had to "bow" to what I taught. I said I spent time with young people every day and wasn't a stranger to their ideas. It was given in response to your idea that I was unfamiliar with being around younger people and listening to their ideas.
What your follow-up posts communicate to me is that you're not used to having your thoughts critically examined and react angrily when they are. Again, this is a discussion forum - not a press release site. Anyone posting should assume their comments may be examined and discussed, why are they posting otherwise?

watched this and ep 3 again. Seems like Holo is in a rather chippy mood and perhaps she is trying to impress Lawrence. Do you think she may have scoped him out earlier and chose him specifically? Its like a really good first date. Good vibes everywhere despite the over cautious Lawrence.

Since Lawrence had been through Pasroe several times before, and it's an event when someone arrives in a remote village like Pasroe, it's likely that she "scoped him out", and decided that he was a good candidate to be her sugar-daddy.
I think she was waiting for an excuse to travel with him, and that he wouldn't be that easy to win over. Let's face it: her cover-story is just cute nonsense designed to appeal to his ego and tug at his heartstrings. It didn't take him long to realize she was just lonely, like him.
I think she was trying to "impress him" in the sense that she wanted to prove she was indispensable. At first, all she could offer was flirty companionship, which she knew he was weak to. Of course, she's clearly weak to that as well, which is why we have a story.

Ellen Hopkins is a poet for readers who think they don't like poetry. Her previous YA novels in verse tackled tough subjects — drug addiction, teenage prostitution, coming out, accountability — and "Tilt," which looks at the ripple effects that parents' decisions add to the consequences of three teenagers' decisions, follows in that vein.
"Tilt" is forthright but not prurient about teenage sex — it happens — just as was "Triangles," a standalone companion novel in verse about the parents of the teens in "Tilt." One girl, sure she's escaped her mother's unlucky lot in love, is stunned at her paramour's response to the news that she's pregnant. Another girl finds herself drifting, almost but not quite inadvertently, from model student to the at-risk category. A boy wrestles with coming out and his first affair, and an impending loss that shatters his world.

Arcobello a budding star on ice
Former Fairfield Prep star Mark Arcobello was in Providence, R.I.this past weekend as an AHL All-Star, a standout for the Oklahoma City Barons with an Edmonton Oilers contract.
Last week, his coach at Prep, Matt Sather, stood in Bridgeport and reminisced about the forward's high-school career and saw then of what was to come.
A decade ago, the Fairfield Prep Jesuits were working on the power play. Arcobello, an unusual freshman working on that unit, took a hit.
"He finished practice like nothing happened," said Sather, coach then as now. But later Arcobello stepped out of the dressing room and said his stomach hurt. Sather told his father to take him to the hospital.
He had a lacerated spleen. It ended his season.
The next year Arcobello took four stitches in the first period of the state championship game and returned to score three points. He was a target on the ice throughout his junior year.
"He was obviously spectacular as a high school player and a college player, but he's tough," Sather said.
At 5-foot-9 and 165, Arcobello was the smallest all star. At the other extreme, Western Conference teammate Jamie Oleksiak lists at 6-7, 254 pounds.
But Arcobello's toughness has taken him from Milford to Fairfield Prep to Yale and to an NHL contract.
"I try to play a little bit physical as much as I can," Arcobello, 24, said at Providence's Dunkin' Donuts Center before Sunday's All-Star Skills Competition. "It gets me in the game, gets me going.
"It depends how you look at it. I'm obviously not looking to do anything really crazy physically, but I'll keep playing my game."
That has worked just fine.
Arcobello has 12 goals and 23 assists for the Barons in 41 games. That's only eight points shy of the 43 he posted last year in 73 games, his first full AHL season.
"He's a great playmaker," Bridgeport Sound Tigers forward Sean Backman, a four-year teammate at Yale and good friend, said last week. "He makes better plays than a lot of people can. Now you see he's got the ability to finish as well. He's an offensive threat every time he's out on the ice."
The Barons were laden with young talent from the Oilers during the NHL lockout, including forwards Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Teammate Yann Danis, the former Sound Tigers goalie, jokingly sent Arcobello a message on Twitter congratulating him on the all-star nod and suggesting he send Hall and Eberle a gift basket.
"We had a pretty good power play, as you probably could see," Arcobello said, and the Barons' man-advantage unit leads the rest of the league in efficiency by two full percentage points. "Right now I'm just trying to keep that going. I've got a little more responsibility, and I'm trying to keep that going."
Arcobello shouldered a load for the Jesuits, centering the top line as a sophomore between two seniors, including his brother, Dave. They combined for all three goals in a 3-1 win in the state final against Notre Dame-West Haven.
Arcobello was held off the scoresheet the next year in the final, but his defensive work helped Fairfield Prep win another title.
"I always thought he was very mature, but also fun-loving," Sather said. "He was one of the guys. It's pretty easy, when you're that good that young, to sort of distance yourself. I've seen guys do it.
"I think the difference was his brother. He's a no-nonsense guy."
Arcobello played his senior year at Salisbury School before going to Yale. While he was at college, Sather said, he came back to Wonderland several times on breaks to skate or work out with the team, and he always made himself available to the players.
"He didn't have to talk. He could do his work and go out," Sather said. "He loves to work. He loves to skate."
After their senior year at Yale -- Arcobello had a six-point game in the regional final, a 9-7 loss to Boston College -- Arcobello signed an AHL contract with the Barons, splitting 2010-11 between Oklahoma City and its Stockton (Calif.) affiliate in the ECHL. He was the ECHL all star game MVP that year and earned his NHL entry-level contract at the end of that season.
What will it take to make the next step and join Hall, Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins in Edmonton?
"We'll see," Arcobello said. "Obviously my goal is to make the NHL. I'll keep doing what the coaches ask in order to get there."

Producer/Director, Hard Way Home
The Iraqi refugee crisis is one of the biggest but most one of the most invisible in history. Neither the Americans nor the Iraqi government want to admit it exists. The misery of the five million people driven from their homes spoils their story of a disastrous war turned around, a country stabilised and gradually emerging from sectarian violence. So two million people languish in exile in Syria and Jordan, most of them not allowed to work, sinking into poverty as they spend the last of their savings on rent, food and medicine. Nearly three million struggle to survive in slum encampments around Iraq's main towns.>
Why can't they go home? Isn't Iraq safer now? The sad fact is that one of the main reasons that violence has fallen in Iraq is that the sectarian cleansing of mixed Sunni-Shia Muslim areas has been largely complete since the end of 2007. There has been no need to keep on killing. But families who were driven out of mixed areas are certainly not being welcomed back; some that have tried have been killed. The map of Iraq has been changed forever.
Our film shows three families struggling to live with this new reality. Afrah is a Shia married to a Sunni; they cannot live together in Iraq now. The two flats they owned in Baghdad were seized by a sectarian militia and they have run out of money. Ahlam was kidnapped in Baghdad because she had contact with the US military to get humanitarian aid for her part of the city; she cannot go back. Fayez and his wife and children do go back, but their house has been destroyed and Fayez cannot find work.>
I spent several months in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 and set up a TV production bureau in Baghdad which has made more than 60 films since 2005. But I missed the size and urgency of the refugee crisis. We made a film in 2006 following a family being driven out of Baghdad, and when they reached Baghdad it seemed as if all their troubles were over because they were safe. In fact, their problems were just beginning.
I realised this when I went to Damascus in early 2007 to see a friend who had been forced out of Baghdad. A proud and competent man in his 50s who had been able to look after his extended family right through the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s and right through the UN sanctions of the 1990s was broken and desperate, counting the months till their savings would run out.
It took another year to get funding for a film. America and Britain didn't want to admit the refugee crisis existed and international NGOs were ignoring it. Only Syria and Jordan cared - and who listens to them? Eventually, though, the BBC's new Arabic TV channel commissioned a film, which was first broadcast in April 2008.
I wish I could say the film is now out of date, but it's not. There has been no mass return of refugees, and the world's governments seem to care less than ever. So it's down to us.

I have slowed down working on this. But still do.
I also got a bit tired updating social networks.
It's like twitter is 1% for updating on my game, 99% getting furious about other people's post.
So I logged out twitter and facebook and erased the passwords from chrome.
I think if I post something it's mostly on IndieDB, and even then, I think I will be less worried about gaining "fans". As it's just too much energy wasting to post too many updates for fans.
