Oh right, the Colorado Rockies are still in the National League, maybe the reason I forgot about them was that the Cubs haven't played them all season! That's right, the first matchup between these two teams will take place at Wrigley tomorrow, August 24th, just another example of the crazy Major League schedule. The Cubs will welcome a familiar face to town for the first time, as Tyler Colvin makes his return to Wrigley Field. Colvin is enjoying a bounce back year out in Colorado as he is hitting .294 with 14 home runs, and 52 RBI's. The Cubs are coming off of another horrendous road trip as they went 1-6 against the Reds and Brewers to bring their road record to a dismal 17-48. The good news is they are much better at home, and the Cubs will be at the Friendly Confines for the next ten games where they look to improve upon a 30-28 record. The Rockies are concluding a disappointing season as they sit in last place in the National League West and are 23 games under .500. However, the Rockies are playing well, winning their last five games as they head into town. As you can imagine, the Rockies can score runs, they sit second in the National League in runs scored, BUT they are dead last in the National League in runs scored on the road.
Friday August 24, 2012
Colorado: Drew Pomeranz (1-7, 4.87 ERA)
Cubs: Jeff Samardzija (8-11, 4.17 ERA)
Saturday August 25, 2012
Colorado: Alex White (2-6, 5.55 ERA)
Cubs: Brooks Raley (1-2, 7.63 ERA)
Sunday August 26, 2012
Colorado: Jhoulys Chacin (1-3, 6.16 ERA)
Cubs: Chris Volstad (0-9, 6.88 ERA)
Season Series: First Meeting
Prediction: Rockies win series, 2-1
Thanks for reading, go Cubs!

Prancing Through A Mine Field
8 November 2014
Miami, FL - Like a stable of racing horses reduced to a trot, the 15-strong Melges 32 Gold Cup fleet completed two races under light, taxing and tricky conditions that saw teams looking like champs one moment, and duds the next. Several teaser breezes attempted to fill the waters just off South Beach throughout the morning, but after a lengthy postponement, a general recall, and yet another postponement, the fleet finally went racing just after one o'clock.
Despite the light, marginal conditions, PRO Anderson Reggio used all the tools at his disposal to complete two fair races and make the most of a bleak forecast for the remainder for the weekend. "Talking to all of the teams we had a good idea of the average pressure which was enough to start a race. We were also looking for consistent pressure, and from there I typically make a gut call on the fairness of racing. If a forecast similar to this weekend presents itself for the Worlds, we would most likely start a race in these type of conditions, and certainly finish a race," commented Reggio.
Recovering from a tough start and finding a clean lane to the right side a third of the way up the first beat, Class President Jason Carroll and his Argo Team showed stellar patience and confidence sending it to the layline early, finding pressure and plowing over the fleet to round first. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the course, the highly popular Robertissima skippered by guest helm Pierre Casiraghi with wily tactician Vasco Vascotto started at the pin, sailed a starboard lift all the way to the left corner, finding just enough of a left hand angle, then tacked once to get them to the mark behind Carroll. Richard Goransson's Inga From Sweden would make a late charge to finish third in the first race.
With an early winter sun breaking for the horizon over Miami, it did not take long for Reggio to make the announcement that the warning signal for Race Two was looming. Just after the start, a sizeable right shift descended on the course, rewarding those who started clean at the boat, and not giving any love to those stranded on the left side looking for any type of bailout. Carroll and team once again found themselves strong out on the right along with a hard charging Casiraghi.
Melges 32 veteran and perennial race winner Keisuke Suzuki on Swing did a nice job staying in the hunt on the first beat of the second race, then picked their way around the course to stay in the best pressure and eventually take the bullet. Racing with Suzuki and the Swing team for the first time was tactician Bill Hardesty. He did his best to keep the boat moving and avoid pitfalls. "Staying in the pressure was key. We used the slight cloud cover to find indicators and it helped us to stay ahead of the trend," said Hardesty. With regards to sailing on a new team with several different nationalities for the first time, Hardesty summed it up, "We have a youthful team with a lot of energy. Despite the language barrier we do a good job of anticipating each others next move, and Keisuke is very focused which is helpful."
The forecast for Day Two of the Gold Cup is not much better, and unless the looming low pressure system expected for Sunday moves faster than expected, the fleet can expect more of the same light-air, tricky conditions.
After racing, Jason Carroll and his Argo Team hosted a dock party complete with cold beer, rum drinks and a bountiful spread of apps which allowed the fleet to share their victories and head scratching moments from the day. Day Two from the Gold Cup gets underway with the first warning scheduled for 11am.
The first warning signal is at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 8 mark day two of competition. Racing will continue through and conclude on Sunday, November 9. Be in the complete know and follow the fun on the official class Facebook and Instagram channels.

The Spitfire Grill (1996)
starring Alison Elliott, Ellen Burstyn, Marcia Gay Harden, Will Patton, Kieran Mulroney, Gailard Sartain
IMDb synopsis:
Upon being released from prison, Percy goes to the small town of Gilead, Maine, to find a place where she can start over again. She is taken in by Hannah, to help out at her place, the Spitfire Grill. Percy brings change to the small town, stirring resentment and fear in some, and growth in others.
Wikipedia excerpt:
As the plot unfolds, Hannah holds a $100-per-entry essay contest to find a new owner for the grill.
I saw this film several years ago and remember the raffle they hold, so that was an understandable detail to choose. [hr]

Farm Family AwardsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Storseth Conservative Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian agriculture industry is one of the most advanced and competitive in the world. Our producers excel at not only feeding our communities and cities but they have come to be relied upon worldwide.
On November 4, 2007 I had the privilege to attend the Alberta Motor Association and Northlands Farm Family Awards. This event gives recognition to farm families from all over north central Alberta who demonstrate strong values and traditions of the family farm within their rural communities.
Today I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the two farm families from my riding who received this award. Troy and Jackie Vetsch have operated their family farm with Monty and April Bauer for over 15 years. Both families have not only dedicated much of their spare time to their community, but also to the advancement of their industry.
It is precisely because of the leadership and hard work of people like the Vetsches, Bauers and all the farm family award recipients that the agriculture sector remains the backbone of our great country.
Constable Douglas ScottStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Larry Bagnell Liberal Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the member of Parliament for Nunavut and I represented the north at the regimental funeral of RCMP Constable Douglas Scott in Brockville.
It was moving to see the thousands of RCMP and supporters from other forces, and thousands of people from Brockville line the streets.
As we listened to the tributes from his friends, family and fellow police officers, we were made aware of a caring young man dedicated to his friends, family and profession, passionate in serving his country as an RCMP officer posted in the north.
It also struck us that the spirit of Constable Scott embodied the essence and legend of the RCMP in Canada's north.
A young man with so much to offer was slain in the line of duty. It is such a tragic loss.
We are well served by Canada's national police force. Its traditions are carried on by the many men and women who serve today.
This dedication is to the memory of officers like Constable Scott, one of our finest. On behalf of all the residents of Canada's north, we thank his friends, family and colleagues for sharing Constable Scott with us. We cherish his memory and grieve with them the loss of a remarkable young man.
World Diabetes DayStatements By Members
November 14th, 2007 / 2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Bloc Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, a United Nations resolution has declared November 14 World Diabetes Day.
In Quebec, more than 550,000 people are living with diabetes. It is estimated that the life expectancy of a person with diabetes is cut by 5 to 10 years. The World Health Organization is calling it a new international epidemic, since it estimates that the number of people with diabetes will double by 2025. This increase is directly connected to the growth of obesity.
This year's theme is "Diabetes in Children and Adolescents". It aims to promote awareness and increased prevention among young people and decision makers. Something must be done before it is too late.
The federal government must stop interfering in provincial responsibilities and accumulating surpluses. It must give provinces the financial means to invest in health research. Research is the best approach to discovering a cure for the scourge that is diabetes.
Women's Resource CentresStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Catherine Bell NDP Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government cut funding to Status of Women Canada. This negatively impacted the work done by women's resource centres across the country.
In the Comox Valley, women rely on their centre to provide life skills programs and support groups for single parents and women with disabilities, but reduced hours due to the cuts have left some women with no place to turn.
The Campbell River Women's Resource Society just received $49,000 in specific program funding. While they are happy about that, what they really need is core funding to provide continuity of service and keep the centre open more hours.
The Campbell River Women's Resource Society would like to offer in-house programs that are relevant to the needs of women in our communities. Shelters should not be the only place that women can go to for support.
Funding requirements under Status of Women Canada force women's centres to fund raise and fill out grant applications just to keep their doors open.
I am calling on the Conservative government to implement core funding for women's centres so that they can provide the kind of services that are so necessary in all our North Island communities.
Violent Crime LegislationStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Kevin Sorenson Conservative Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, Canadians have told us they want to see our Conservative government's violent crime act move swiftly through the legislative process and finally become law.
Canadians elected us to move quickly and decisively to tackle crime and make our communities safer. They are fed up with a justice system that puts the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Bill C-2, the violent crime act, would impose mandatory jail time for serious gun crime; create tougher bail rules when a gun is used to commit a crime; protect our youth by increasing the age of protection for sexual activity from 14 to 16 years; crack down on drug impaired driving; and ensure that high risk and dangerous offenders face tougher consequences and are monitored more closely after release to prevent them from offending again and again.
All the measures included in the legislation were studied in depth by Parliament in the last session and some were held up for over a year. Canadians believe this is unacceptable and expect prompt passage of these crucial measures.
New Horizons for SeniorsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Liberal Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the new horizons program has provided much financial assistance to many seniors groups in my riding.
While there is never enough money in this program and while many worthy projects are too often refused funding, the real need is often for infrastructure improvements and renovations of existing community facilities.
In my riding, from Saint-Ignace to Pré d'en Haut, from Dover to Murray Corner, seniors' groups need federal funds to improve their clubs. These community infrastructures must often be improved.
These groups of volunteers give much to our communities, and the federal government must ensure that they are able to modernize their community facilities.
I am asking the government to proceed quickly in approving funding for infrastructure improvements and to be generous with the small rural communities across Canada. More funding is needed to ensure that all seniors groups have fair access to this important program.
World Diabetes DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Fletcher Conservative Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that today the Canadian Diabetes Association is celebrating the first United Nations recognition of World Diabetes Day.
November 14 was chosen as World Diabetes Day because it is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, and to commemorate him and Sir Charles Best, the two doctors who discovered insulin.
Our government continues to invest millions to fund research in order to find a cure for diabetes. Diabetes is a serious public health problem in Canada that affects approximately two million Canadians.
To help fight against diabetes, this government has put in place patient wait time guarantees for diabetes on first nation reserves guaranteeing treatment within acceptable wait times for those who need it. Further, our government is promoting healthy living initiatives through the Canada food guide and the physical activity guide.
This Conservative government is serious about addressing public health issues and we are getting the job done. I ask my colleagues to please join me in wishing all diabetes agencies a successful World Diabetes Day.
National Capital CommissionStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Richard Nadeau Bloc Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, the National Capital Commission paid tribute to the infamous Lord Durham as part of its celebration of Ottawa's 150th anniversary as Canada's capital.
It is deeply hurtful to Quebeckers that people are ignoring the fact that Durham recommended that the British government assimilate francophones. Durham described francophones as inferior in all respects to anglophones, a people with no history whose only salvation lay in assimilation to the English majority.
It is scandalous that the Conservatives, who have proclaimed their respect for the Quebec nation, have allowed a person who described Quebeckers as a nationality "destitute of all that can invigorate and elevate a people" to be honoured in this way.
The Bloc Québécois demands an apology from the minister responsible for the National Capital Commission for this insult to the Quebec nation.
Hon. Member for Saint-LambertStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Conservative Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Sunday, the Bloc Québécois member for Saint-Lambert announced that he will run for the Parti Québécois in the riding of Bourget. I would like to congratulate my hon. Bloc Québécois colleague, here in this House, on his decision to move to provincial politics. His courage, and above all, his foresight should inspire others, beginning with his leader.
The truth is, support for the Bloc Québécois in Quebec is falling like autumn leaves from a tree. His colleagues should face the facts and admit that Quebec is getting stronger within a strong and united Canada and with the Conservative Party in Ottawa—a party that has the means to take action and achieve concrete, real results in the interest of Quebeckers and Canadians.
Juvenile DiabetesStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Liberal Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and young people in Laval—Les Îles, I would like to present the Minister of Health and the Minister of Finance with keys symbolizing my support for efforts to find a cure for diabetes and its complications.
The families of children with juvenile diabetes are calling on our government to make a real, immediate financial commitment in order to step up research to find a cure for juvenile diabetes.
Together, let us open the door to a cure for juvenile diabetes.
Constable Douglas ScottStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Gord Brown Conservative Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, hundreds of police officers and thousands of citizens gathered in Brockville, Ontario, yesterday to pay tribute at a regimental funeral for slain RCMP Constable Doug Scott, who died while on duty last week. It was a sombre occasion and reminds Canadians of the danger each and every police officer faces each and every day.
Twenty year old Constable Scott, Dougie, as he was known to his family, had always wanted to be an RCMP officer. He was described by his brothers as an amazing son and brother who was always willing and able to be counted upon. He lived his life without regret. He was an inspiration to everyone and showed his brothers and his friends that dreams are possible when we work hard to achieve them.
On behalf of all Canadians, I want to acknowledge and pay tribute to the hard work, leadership and sacrifice of Constable Scott and to express our deepest condolences to his parents, Doug and Marla, and his brothers, Chad and Layne, as well as the rest of his family and his many friends and teachers, who will always remember this remarkable, determined young man.
Atlantic AccordStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexa McDonough NDP Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, Nova Scotians still await the federal government's tabling of a clear, binding agreement on the revised offshore resources revenue sharing with Nova Scotia's Conservative government.
In opposition, federal Conservatives championed the Atlantic accord. In government, they tore it up. Now they ask us to trust that their replacement deal will protect the full benefits of the Atlantic accord, but where is any legal document that can hold the government to its promise?
In the last 10 days alone, the government has three times scheduled a briefing of Nova Scotia MPs on the latest deal and three times it has cancelled.
After a year of this reneging on agreements, punishing critics and backroom dealing among the Prime Minister, the Nova Scotia premier and Conservative MPs, Nova Scotians are fed up.
The Atlantic accord was a clear deal with clear benefits. Nova Scotians will accept nothing less. The Conservative deal is not worth the paper it is not even written on. So much for transparency, accountability and integrity in government.
World Diabetes DayStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Liberal Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 14, 2007 marks the first World Diabetes Day recognized by the United Nations.
Recently I had the chance to meet with some constituents who turned their own family's experience with juvenile diabetes into truly inspiring advocacy work.
Lynda, Barry and Jordanna Caine have asked me to personally deliver two keys on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to the Ministers of Finance and Health to highlight the importance of a long term commitment to fund research to find a cure.
It is my pleasure to deliver those keys on their behalf. I echo their hopes that with sustainable and long term federal funding more research can open the doors to a cure.
GreeceStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Vivian Barbot Bloc Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec's Greek community is a proud community. On Saturday, October 27, despite the rain, thousands of people took part in a rally, here on Parliament Hill, to let the government know that they will never be in agreement with Canada giving the name "Macedonia" to the country run by the Skopje government, as the Conservative government did, in September. Moreover, a large number of demonstrators condemned the introduction of a bill, on May 17, 2007, by a Liberal member, with the support of his party, recognizing the name Macedonia for this new country.
There is a dispute going on between the government in Athens and the Skopje government, regarding the use of the name "Macedonia". For the Greeks, this name is part of their national identity. Until a negotiated settlement is reached between these two countries, the UN is referring to this new state as the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia".
As far as the Bloc Québécois is concerned, it is not up to Canada to rule on a dispute between these two states. Since this dispute is still—

World Diabetes DayStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Keith Martin Liberal Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, today, November 14, is the first World Diabetes Day observed by the United Nations. It is a day to stimulate activism to address these chronic, incapacitating and costly diseases that pose a serious global health threat, affecting 246 million people worldwide.
Each year another seven million people develop either type 1 or type 2 diabetes and 3.8 million deaths occur from diabetes related causes. Both diseases are increasing in frequency, with type 1 being found in ever younger populations.
I call on our government to make a five year, $125 million commitment for research to find a cure for juvenile diabetes through islet cell transplantation, regenerating the body's own beta cells and finding new therapeutics to predict, prevent and reverse complications. We must ensure that patients also have access to the care they need.
Canada discovered insulin. Our scientists are on the verge of finding a cure. Let us support them and drive juvenile diabetes into extinction.
Standing Committee on Procedure and House AffairsStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Tom Lukiwski Conservative Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK
Mr. Speaker, yesterday at the procedure and House affairs committee, the opposition parties had a chance to come clean with Canadians, but sadly, minutes before a vote that would have opened up the political financing books for all parties, Liberal members, along with their cohorts in the Bloc and the NDP, literally ran out of the room, thus shutting down the committee.
Canadians expect better of their members of Parliament. This obstruction and this lack of accountability, on the part of all three opposition parties, are preventing Canadians from having the opportunity to learn about the financing practices of all parties.
What do they have to hide? Is there another sponsorship scandal just waiting to be uncovered beneath the surface of the Liberals, the Bloc and the NDP?
As long as the opposition parties continue to shut down this committee by neglecting their duties and leaving the room, Canadians are being deprived of the truth. I call upon all opposition parties to be open with Canadians and to stop hiding the facts on their own spending habits and start being honest with Canadians.

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the terms of reference for the public inquiry will be drafted by an independent third party. I am pleased to announce that Dr. David Johnston, who is the president of the University of Waterloo, the former dean of law at Western and the former principal of McGill, and who has served numerous governments in various public policy capacities, has agreed to be the independent third party.
As I mentioned, Dr. Johnston has served various governments in various public policy capacities and we certainly appreciate his willingness to serve once again in what will be a difficult and challenging job.

Stéphane Dion LiberalLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, after the new Minister of Justice was appointed in early 2007, the justice department's internal investigation into the $2.1 million in compensation paid to Mr. Mulroney was conveniently blocked.
Why wait for the public inquiry? The Prime Minister should tell us the truth.
What role did he, his Minister of Justice and their respective offices play in blocking this investigation?

Mr. Speaker, these allegations are completely false and unfounded.
As I just mentioned, Dr. David Johnston, the president of the University of Waterloo and an eminent Canadian, has agreed to conduct the review that will provide the government with a mandate for a public inquiry.
Again, I thank Dr. Johnston for agreeing to serve his country.

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I have just said that Dr. David Johnston, who is an eminent Canadian, will make proposals on the terms of reference for a public inquiry and the government will follow his recommendations.
Sooner or later, it will dawn even on the Leader of the Opposition that the events in question did not occur under this government but that some of them did in fact occur under the government of which he was a member.

2:25 p.m.
Robert Thibault Liberal West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, Canadians find it hard to believe that the Prime Minister was kept in the dark about something as sensitive as criminal allegations about a former prime minister and his political mentor, Brian Mulroney, but if that is true, it suggests the Prime Minister deliberately insulated himself from the facts in this matter.
Ignorance is not an excuse. He should have known and he should have demanded to know. Instead, he demanded to be kept in the dark. Why? What is the Prime Minister hiding from?

Let's start with network hardware. I predict network hardware will get cheaper because it must be replaced and upgraded more often in the years ahead.
Today, a network device has a lifespan of at least five years; in many cases, it may be up to 10 years before it is considered for replacement. However, technology developments will speed up hardware refreshes; the next generation of networking is likely to be replaced every three years as the drive into 10-GbE ports will soon be followed by 40-GbE and 100-GbE interfaces.
We'll also see new silicon with lower power consumption, support for overlay networking and increased forwarding performance compel faster product churn.
It's reasonable to expect unit prices to fall as customers rapidly cycle out network assets in the same way that server assets are removed to gain new features or functions. However, while unit prices drop, overall network spending will remain the same because of the need to replace hardware more often.
[Network overlays virtualize the network for SDN. Get details in "Network Overlays: An Introduction."]
Another way hardware costs could be lowered is by changing vendor practices around expensive optical and copper interface modules. A significant percentage (often more than 50% ) of the standing cost of network devices is largely due to these modules, which deliver little customer value. The future of networking is services, not connectivity.
It's not necessary for "vendor supported" SFP modules to cost in excess of $300 per unit--even less so to enforce this in software. If the standard is badly written that there are reliability or production problems, then vendors should kick the IEEE into action to produce better standards that are resistant to low-quality manufacturing and prevent unreliable manufacturers from making poor copies.
It is beyond the scope of this article to explain the foolish choices made by the IEEE during the standards process that have resulted in extortionate pricing for what could be low-cost items.
SDN could get cheaper if there was a concerted effort from vendors and customers to drive new standards with reasonable technology choices for cheaper interface modules. Shipping SFP modules adds zero value to customer features or functions and customers resent paying for them.
Off-Brands Won't Flourish
Some make the argument that unbranded hardware will erode the market for premium-priced equipment. I don't think so. There's a lot of inexpensive networking equipment available today from vendors like Netgear and D-Link, including low-cost chassis switches. Yet the majority of customer continue to buy branded hardware for quality and assurance reasons.
Why would SDN change this purchasing practice ? The underlying reasons for purchasing branded or known hardware--customers want a trusted brand and partner in their data centers--aren't changed by SDN.
Niche use cases from mega-scale data centers simply aren't relevant to enterprises or service providers. Google and Facebook purchase low-cost network equipment direct from the manufacturer, but they also perform extensive testing to prove the hardware is viable and fit for purpose.
There is identifiable risk that low-cost products may have higher failure rates, poor quality software or other serious operational issues. While the mega-scale companies have software platforms designed to handle failure easily, enterprises are not experienced in handling these kinds of risks.
Cheaper, Simpler Software
The price of the network OS on the device is also likely to fall in the years ahead. Today, customers purchase a license for an integrated NOS that runs on the specific device. These NOSes often have thousands of features, functions and services that ultimately deliver network services.
However, a key value of current SDN platforms such as VMware NSX is that network services will be provided in a hypervisor or in a virtual machine.
Two factors should lead to lower prices. First, a software license today comes with the device that is intended to be used for at least five years. This timeline is factored into the customer value proposition (that is, the purchase price). As customers rotate hardware faster, the software license has less value over the life of the device, which will lead to price pressures on suppliers.
Second, market competition for cheaper NOSes is being introduced by startups. For instance, Cumulus Networks and Big Switch Networks have introduced NOSes that operate independent of the network hardware. ODM suppliers are already shipping small numbers of network switches that support these open NOS environments.
These startups license their software on a recurrent revenue model, and any purchase has a serious impact on the short-term revenue of incumbent vendors. This should drive lower prices on existing equipment.
As stated earlier, rapid device rotation is likely to occur, so software costs must go down to match perceived and/or delivered product value. Product rotation is needed to support greater bandwidth, faster forwarding performance and increased density.

March 4, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT men's volleyball team saw its 11-match winning streak come to an end following a 30-22, 30-26, 30-24 loss to nationally-ranked No. 13 Endicott College on Tuesday. Michael Demyttenaere paced the Engineers (16-10, 9-4 NECVA New England) with 17 kills, a .536 hitting percentage, four aces, and three blocks. Scott Pollom notched five blocks as Garrett Winther recorded eight kills. Eugene Jang anchored the defense with six digs while Caine Jette picked up six assists and two blocks in one game. Tim Lee finished with 22 assists and four digs.
The opening frame was a back-and-forth affair as it featured nine ties. With the score knotted at 12, Endicott called a timeout and then picked up back-to-back points following the break. MIT cut its deficit in half (16-15) before the Gulls scored three in a row. The Engineers narrowed the gap to two (22-20), but Endicott notched five straight points to take control of the game.
Endicott raced out to a 17-4 advantage in the second set. The Engineers battled back, narrowing the lead to two (23-21) on an ace by Demyttenaere. Each side exchanged points until the Gulls posted two in a row to double their margin (29-25). A strike by Demyttenaere extended the frame, but a serving miscue ended hopes of a comeback.
In the final stanza, both squads traded points until midway through the game. With the score knotted at 14, Endicott mounted a 6-1 run. Following its own timeout, MIT registered a 4-2 spurt which narrowed the gap to three (22-19). Both teams alternated scoring, maintaining the small margin before the Gulls secured six of the last nine points to seal the match.

Rush Meet the Stanley Cup in Chicago
We know Geddy Lee is a major baseball fan, but the guys in Rush took time to celebrate a different sport during their recent stop in Chicago.
The band was in town on June 28, just 4 days after the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Boston Bruins in a six-game series that sent the Stanley Cup to the Windy City for the fifth time in the team's 87-season history. It's the second time in four years that the Blackhawks have taken home the league championship, and they're obviously making good use of the trophy.
In fact, in the clip embedded above, Blackhawks left winger Daniel Carcillo brought the Cup to Rush's Chicago gig, much to the delight of the band members -- not to mention the crowd, which audibly freaks out after Carcillo strolls out on stage and hoists the Cup over his shoulders.
Of course, the members of Rush are from Canada, not Chicago -- and given that four Canadian teams made the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs (the highest number since 2006), they could be forgiven for feeling some sour grapes -- as one Blabbermouth commenter joked, this is the closest Canada has come to the Cup in decades -- but they're clearly having a good time in this video. Maybe next season it'll be the Maple Leafs' turn, eh?

. . .One question. It was my understanding that an Orthodox parishioner may not confessor to a hieromonk without first getting the permission of his/her spiritual father (i.e., the Pastor). Is this correct?Jim C.
Rather, prayer ropes flying from his wrists, he made grand bows at the entrance to the nave, and again, the entire congregation watching, with a flourish prostrated before virtually every icon in the church. It was such a display that no one listened to the hours.
Then, just before the time the Liturgy should have begun, Bill came up to the door of the altar and announced he must have confession, or he'd be in big trouble with the holy elders. Father, being patient with zealous youths, went to hear the confession.
"Father," Bill asked, "don't you think it's time to start being more traditional
"Yesterday, at the monastery. I think I have finally found a spiritual father worthy of my obedience."
"Okay, Vasili, then. That guy was defrocked years ago. I can't serve with him! Who gave you a blessing to go see him? Much less submit yourself to him? Much less invite him here?"
The problem is just as easily with the supposed "holy elders" at the monastery he is visiting!
As far as the prayer ropes, I heard another abbot say the very same thing. He also doesn't like seeing people wear prayer ropes (especially the really long ones) wrapped around their wrists. What's wrong with keeping it in your pocket and pulling it out when you are actually praying?
Also, personally, I don't think I should be telling the priest how to do his job. Do the sheep tell the shepherd how to do his job? Also, this is one person. Maybe the rest of the flock is perfectly happy with services the way they are.
Also, very few of us really need a staretz. I've heard many priests and monks say that this *can* be a serious sign of spiritual pride. It can be a sign of pride because it's like saying that a *mere* priest isn't worthy of my obedience. I need someone *special*
Also, the level of guidance and obedience for a layperson is different than that of a monk. Too many people want and expect the same level expected of a monk. If a spiritual father is demanding of you what he would want of a monk, I think many priests and hierarchs rightly wonder if this is a healthy relationship. Sometimes, hierarchs have quite rightly removed spiritual fathers who are demanding of laypeople what is expected of monks. They realize that this isn't healthy for either the spiritual father or the spiritual children.
Also, some people who speak about searching for the perfect spiritual father *can* be prideful. Sometimes, they make it quite clear that their priest is not *good* enough for them and not what they need. However, that person may be just what God has decided that they need.
Also, I do believe that a person should get his priest's blessing to visit a monastery and to hear your confessions. He is your shepherd, and he is responsible to God for your well-being.
You could be visiting a monastery that isn't a good one and could be quite damaging for the soul. Asking the priest's blessing could prevent that.
Be careful making a blanket condemnaton here as your current wording would include Saint Paisius, Elder Joseph the Hesychast and others.
(I was also unaware that Elder Paisios had been canonised a saint )
From the backlash I see from you Nektarios, it seems that YOU are the one that needs to hold his tongue. As wise as you are for your age, you are still only 18 (or whatever). I don't think you have much basis to criticize Fr. Jonah. His whole point is that one who visits a monastery should do it for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. Take a step back and consider what he's saying first.
. . .Also, I do believe that a person should get his priest's blessing to visit a monastery and to hear your confessions. He is your shepherd, and he is responsible to God for your well-being. You could be visiting a monastery that isn't a good one and could be quite damaging for the soul. Asking the priest's blessing could prevent that.
In a case where one is aware that one is receiving poor spiritual advice, it is important, in a spirit of humility, to seek out a canonical monastery, and obtain that which one's soul needs.
I recall reading "somewhere" in my increasingly dim past that the Armenian Church does not allow its hieromonks to hear the confessions of the laity under ordinary circumstances. Only the parish clergy are allowed to do so.
A friend who emailed an Armenian priest at St. Nersess Seminary got this response:I know of no such practice. Could it perhaps have been an aberration that was recorded somewhere? If anything it was usually the monks who heard confessions.If you could find out the source of this information, then I would be interested in checking it out.
I thought I came across this in a book I had check out of the University of New Mexico library on eastern Churches several years ago. This weekend I'll see if I can find the tome and report back. Of course this may go the way of my statement re Pius XII and E. Patriarch Athenagoras of a few weeks ago. I consulted several books in which I thought that I had read this and could not find support for it.JBC
The book in question is:Peter D. Day. Eastern Christian Liturgies: the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Syrian rites; Eucharistic Rites with Introductory Notes and Rubrical Instructions. Shannon: Irish University Press. 1972. ISBN: 0716505959.Of course what does the issue of confession by laity to Armenian parish priests or monks have to do with the Eastern Christian Liturgies in this book? I don't know. Perhaps my mind is going downhill slowly but surely. I will try to get the book and verify one way or another.Jim C.
The office and rank of vartapet is peculiar to the Armenians and is a rank conferred by a kind of ordination rite. The attention given by the Armenians to education is very high and therefore it is not surprising to find that among them there is a distinct order of the hierarchy set aside with this object in mind.Vartapets are of two classes, minor and major. The staff or gauazan which is presented to each vartapet distinguishes the grade: a minor vartapet has a staff surmounted by a cross with only one entwined serpent, while the major vartapet would have two entwined serpents.All vartapets are celibate priests who follow the Rule of St. Bail of Caesarea. Being unmarried, they are not allowed to hear confessions, and thus occupy themselves entirely with preaching and teaching. It is from this body of clergy that the Armenian bishops are chosen. It has already been noted that vartapets have certain privileges with respect to the use of vestments.. . .
Among Catholic Armenians auricular confession has always been the custom, and the sacrament is administered almost the same way as it is in the Latin Church. Monophysite Armenians allow only married priests to hear confessions. The priest sits on the floor of the house or sacristy where the confession is to be heard, while the penitent kneels and relates each sin quite distinctly, avoiding obscure generalities. The Monophysite priest may defer absolution for a few days, whereas the Catholic usually grants absolution immediately, except for a few obvious exceptions.Armenians are expected to receive this sacrament at least five times a year, and these occasions must include Epiphany and Easter. The practice of receiving absolution as a necessary preliminary to Communion is not universal among the Armenians, but the tendency is there.
From Page 23:. . . If an unmarried man is promoted to orders higher than that of acolyte, he is obliged to remain celibate, and as an unmarried man he may become a monk. If a secular priest is widowed, he may not remarry, nor may be become a bishop.
