Miller Scores, Rondeau Stops 31 Shots
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – It's been 43 years since the last Yale hockey team went a season without playing an overtime contest. It's been seven years since a Bulldog squad had a season without a tie. The Elis went 27 games this season before getting their first of both, and they came in the second-to-last game of the regular season in a crucial contest. No. 3 Yale outshot Colgate 40-32 but had to settle for a 1-1 tie before a sold-out Ingalls Rink in ECAC Hockey play.
The one-point earned from the draw kept the Bulldogs (22-5-1, 16-4-1 ECAC) a point behind first-place Union, which skated to a 2-2 tie at home with Quinnipiac. In order for Yale to earn its third straight ECAC regular season title, it will need to take care of business against Cornell Saturday night and hope for help from Princeton in its game against the Dutchmen.
This was a classic battle of veteran vs. newcomer in the nets. Yale senior Ryan Rondeau stopped 31 shots and stood on his head at times to keep the Elis unbeaten (14-0-1) at home. Eric Mihalik, a freshman, turned aside 39 shots, including 22 over the third period and overtime combined.
"The defense played especially well. They blocked a lot of shots and nobody panicked. They played solid in front of the net," said Rondeau, who had 13 saves in the third, including a few heart-stoppers.
Both goals came in the second off the sticks of Yale's Andrew Miller and Austin Mayer of Colgate. The teams were blanked on a combined seven power plays.
The Raiders, now 4-1-1 over their last six games, moved to 7-23-3 overall, 4-14-3 in conference.
The weekend got under way with a wild, scoreless first period that had Yale outshooting Colgate 11-10. Both goalies made saves on three or four grade-A chances. The puck whizzed around the nets at both ends, barely missing on a number of attempts.
Chris Wagner took a long pass at the Yale blueline and went in alone on Rondeau. The Yale netminder held his position and stopped a backhand attempt.
The Blue finally broke through midway through the second when Miller notched his ninth of the year. The sophomore, who took a behind-the back, no look pass from Brian O'Neill, walked in from the boards on the left side and had an opening to keep heading for the net. He held and waited for Mihalik to go down. Miller sent a rising wrister over the goalie's right shoulder at 7:32.
Nobody realized how big that goal was, or how hard it was going to be to get the puck past the freshman goalie.
Other than a 10-minute misconduct on Francois Brisebois in the first, the Raiders avoided being on the penalty-kill until the middle of the second frame. The Raider special teams looked fresh and did not allow a shot on target, while also thwarting a second chance later that period, which helped the visitors even things.
A few minutes after killing off the first advantage, Mayer (3rd goal) and Wagner broke free on an odd-man rush from the blueline. Wagner held for a while and then quickly sent it across to Mayer, who one-timed it past Rondeau at 3:41.
"I came across and then came out to cut down the angle. I just didn't get the push I wanted," said Rondeau.
Mihalik stood on his head in early in the third. He stopped two great chances on a power play to start the period and then two more in the next few minutes. Yale had the edge (18-13) in shots and in quality opportunities.
Rondeau had to shine in the later stages of regulation to keep the score tied. Colgate players came in on him with grade-A chances twice over the last two minutes.
Yale had a 4-1 edge in overtime shots and had its best scoring chance of the night with 1:58 left. That's when Denny Kearney had the puck in the slot looking at an open side of the net. He couldn't get all of his stick on the puck and Mihalik was able to make the play.
"The puck hit me and I tried to find it, knowing the goalie was out of position. He made a good save," said Kearney. "They are a dangerous team that has been playing very well. They did a good job of getting sticks on rebounds."
Both teams also did a great job of finishing checks. There was also a lot emotional contact that kept the officials very busy all night.
"We didn't execute on our rush opportunities as well as we would like to," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. "We got quality chances, but their goalie played really well."
BULLDOG BITES: Tonight was the 10th straight sellout at Ingalls Rink this season… Tomorrow night's game is completely sold out, but there are tickets available for the March 11-13 ECAC Quarterfinal Playoff Series (opponent TBA), and they are being sold Saturday night at Ingalls… Saturday night is Senior Night for nine members of the Yale squad playing their final regular season games at Ingalls Rink… Former Yale defenseman Daryl Jones '98 helped call the action on the yalebulldogs.com broadcast of the Colgate game.

Regarding the Anonymous page
I've looked into the Anon/WBC incident before for an essay on freedom of speech as it relates to Internet culture, and while both WBC and Anon showed their typical lack of civility and good manners towards each other they didn't violate the 1st Amendment in any way. I might have made a mistake in the report, though, so if you could show me where one side or the other violated 1st Amendment rights I'd be happy to concede the point. Blessings of the Almighty on you :) 16:25, 3 October 2012 (EDT)
Seeing as you've blocked me in the past for sometimes having a less-than-cheerful attitude...
....you'll love this guy's stream of edit comments. Hugs and kisses, MattyD 21:00, 31 October 2012 (EDT)
What the hell are you doing?
Why have you just unblocked this user - you better have a good reason! EJamesW 17:23, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
- No need to block non-malicious morons. Just let them know that they are being ignored.Brenden 17:39, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
- DON'T DO IT AGAIN~! Look at the history you moron! EJamesW 17:46, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
You've just made yourself look a total idiot. I can't believe I was the one who recommended for promotion. EJamesW 17:58, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

Thank you, EJamesW </sarcasm>brenden 18:00, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
- [Comments retracted by poster]
What does </sarcasm> mean?
Does that mean you're trying to be sarcastic? But you can't think of anything witty or amusing to type?
Brenden, why don't you just say sorry and leave it at that? (Have you looked at the history of User:Reactionary22, you will see that I gave this guy a chance to respond and chandged his block settings.)
I suppose some Christians never can admit they're wrong...

- Ease up E, Brendan has done the same on more than one occasion. Normally we frown upon adjusting others' blocks but no harm, no foul.--Jpatt 19:04, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

If you have a personal problem with a sysop, you take it up with Aschlafly. Karajou 11:12, 19 November 2012 (EST)
Personal Honeypot
Just registered. I think an interesting experiment/test could be to add a few articles copied from wikipedia into the wiki after deleting all the spam and see if the content of those articles changes what is being written in the spam. Dvergne 23:57, 17 December 2012 (EST)
- I also think we should start and anti-spam squad here to help combat the spam by collecting the IP's and the like and adding those to such sites as Stopforumspam. I also think that copying the spam IP block list from wikipedia is a good Idea as I imagine they would have to have pretty good countermeasures against spam over there. Dvergne 00:02, 18 December 2012 (EST)
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. My only concern is accuracy and credibility. I think that sometimes, people can't see how a stranger will react to their writing because we all have internal writing voices which remember all of our intentions rather than what is on the page. Wschact 01:34, 6 January 2013 (EST)
- Thank you for your tireless work against vandals. Your efforts are appreciated. :-) Regards, Taj 17:27, 13 January 2013 (EST)
It seems the spambots are active again. I might start to port over the new spambot IP blocks from Wikipedia again, as that seamed to be quite efficient at stopping them for a while last time. Dvergne 06:29, 3 February 2013 (EST)
- I think I might upgrade that to very active! Have you been getting much spam at your honeypot mate? Dvergne 19:27, 3 February 2013 (EST)
- It's been ok-ish. I blocked most of the ranges that were targeting my honeypot. brenden 19:50, 3 February 2013 (EST)
I removed your latest round of "personal attacks removed" censorship
I think it is poor form to edit talk page comments left by others. If an editor wishes to run afoul of the rules by speaking their mind, it should be their freedom to do so. If that editor happens to be immune to the rules (as with the user in this case), then I think their unfettered comments should stand as testimony to their true nature. Thanks --DonnyC 21:16, 7 February 2013 (EST)
- Well, the last time that specific user left his comments, a lot of people were offended. While I agree, that generally, it is inappropriate to censor users, in certain cases, especially when personal attacks are involved, it should be fine. Furthermore, the use of such tags, causes the poster understand that such attacks are not welcome on Conservapedia.
Thanks for your input anyways, though. brenden 22:04, 7 February 2013 (EST)
Editing should work now
Try now - your account has been promoted.--Andy Schlafly 00:25, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Maybe you're right
I still retain my suspicion, but if that contributor wants to reregister we should let him. I probably should have enabled account recreation after the block. - Markman 14:34, 1 March 2013 (EST)

National Transportation Safety Board investigators were on scene of the crash of a Mitsubishi MU-2B-25 near Owasso, Okla., that claimed the life of Sen. James Inhofe's 52-year-old son, Perry Inhofe.
Perry Inhofe, an orthopedic surgeon, was the pilot and sole person aboard the aircraft that crashed around 3:45 p.m. on Nov. 10. The 1974 model twin turboprop, N856JT, had departed Salina, Kan. and crashed into a heavily wooded area while on approach to Runway 18L of Tulsa International Airport. The aircraft was consumed by a post-impact fire, NTSB says.
Perry Inhofe apparently had just acquired the aircraft in the weeks leading up to the government shutdown – it is still listed in FAA's Registry as belonging to Intermountain Powersports – and is believed to have had 12 hr. in type. The flight is believed to have been his first following training on the aircraft. NTSB Investigator Aaron Sauer confirmed that the pilot had been training on the aircraft in Kansas before the flight. However, he could not say whether that training involved the use of simulators.
Reports indicate that the aircraft lost an engine in flight, and Inhofe contacted air traffic control for assistance, but Sauer could not yet confirm those reports. NTSB is still reviewing ATC communications and is in the process of interviewing several witnesses who observed the flight, he says. NTSB has boxed the Honeywell TPE331 engines and propellers, and did find the left engine propeller in the feathered position.
The aircraft was not equipped with either a cockpit voice or flight data recorder. In addition to witness interviews, NTSB is reviewing maintenance records and the pilot's background. "Weather at this point we don't believe to be a factor," Sauer says. NTSB is working with FAA, Mitsubishi and Honeywell on the investigation.
The MU-2 at one point had among the worst, if not the worst, safety record among turboprops, prompting FAA to conduct a comprehensive review of the high-performance aircraft. FAA ultimately concluded the aircraft met the applicable certification requirements, but mandated specific ground and flight training to help pilots with the unique handling qualities of the aircraft.
Since that time the MU-2's record has become safer than the industry average, according to safety expert Robert Breiling of Robert E. Breiling Associates. The MU-2's accident record over the past five years is 1.35 per 100,000 hr., compared with the overall turboprop accident record of 1.55 per 100,000 hr. Likewise, the MU-2's fatal accident rate is 0.23 per 100,000 hr., compared with an overall turboprop rate of 0.30 per 100,000 hr. over the last five years.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association released a statement expressing sadness at the news of the accident. "Sen. Inhofe is an accomplished pilot and a staunch advocate for general aviation, and flying has been an important part of the Inhofe family's personal and professional lives for decades," says AOPA President Mark Baker.
Sen. Inhofe (R-Okla.), a longtime general aviation advocate, has fought on behalf of the industry on a number of issues, ranging from product liability reform to user fees. He most recently pushed a Pilot's Bill of Rights through Congress to bolster pilots' ability to access information during enforcement cases.
The senator himself has been involved in a few airplane incidents, including one in which he looped a Vans R-V on the ground and another when the propeller fell off his Grumman Tiger while in flight. Inhofe was able to safely land the Tiger and later recovered the propeller.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also issued a statement following the crash. "I was deeply saddened to learn that Senator Jim Inhofe's son Perry was killed in a plane crash this weekend," Hagel says. "The entire DOD community stands with the Inhofe's at this tragic time, with enduring appreciation for all they do on behalf of our military."
Sen. Inhofe is the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A host of activists, surfers and celebrities came together to celebrate a quarter century of coastal preservation at the Surfrider Foundation's 25th Anniversary Gala. Among the over 650 in attendance, were Incubus front-man Brandon Boyd, "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, Sal Masekela and supermodel Carolyn Murphy. In total, the evening raised over $150,000 for the continued protection of our world's oceans, waves and beaches.
"Our 25th anniversary gala brought together activists, musicians, artists, supporters, staff, and board members," says Surfrider Foundation's CEO Jim Moriarty. "It was great to see so many different people coming together and 'plugging in' to our mission and celebrating where we have been and where we are going."
The evening began with the presentation of the Surfrider Foundation's Art For The Oceans III. The auction, which featured twenty-five original works by a host of contemporary artists including Shepard Fairey, Raymond Pettibon, Thomas Campbell and Billy Al Bengston, raised nearly $100,000 for the Foundation.
Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 then took over on the mic to emcee the presentation of the Surfrider Foundation's Keepers of the Coast award. This year's honorees included actor David Chokachi, Incubus and Pearl Jam, who have all made significant contributions toward helping the Surfrider Foundation fulfill its mission of protecting our world's oceans, waves and beaches.
The evening concluded with a rocking performance by Camp Freddy. Joining core members Dave Navarro, Billy Morrison, Matt Sorum, Donovan Leitch and Chris Chaney on stage were Sum-41's Deryck Whibley, Evan Seinfeld from Biohazard, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, and 2004 Keeper of the Coast recipient Perry Farrell, who brought the house down with an amazing rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."
The money raised from Surfrider Foundation's 25th Anniversary Gala will assist the organization with several new campaigns and initiatives that are set to launch in 2010, including its new integrated water campaign "Know Your H20," an increased effort to support the Santa Barbara Chapter's "Save Gaviota" campaign, and the Foundation's "Not The Answer" campaign, which seeks to prevent new efforts to expand offshore drilling along the nation's coastlines.
The Surfrider Foundation's 25th Anniversary Gala was made possible by Brita Filter For Good and Barefoot Wine.
Media partner FUEL Television will air a special on the Surfrider Foundation's 25th Anniversary Gala on November 23rd.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene.

Golden Threads
A film by
Lucy Winer
Karen Eaton
US, 1999, 56 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W00251
Profiling the life of 93 year old lesbian activist Christine Burton, founder of a global networking service for mid-life and elder lesbians this documentary by Lucy Winer and Karen Eaton, exuberantly overturns our most deeply rooted stereotypes and fears of aging. By adding the wry and introspective narrative of the director undergoing a mid-life crisis, the film generates a groundbreaking, intergenerational dialogue about sexuality, life choices, and aging. At a time when the media commonly sentimentalizes, dismisses or altogether ignores the old, GOLDEN THREADS offers an urgently needed antidote. GOLDEN THREADS was produced for the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funds provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

My name is UKAI Ippei (鵜飼一平). I'm Japanese but currently studying in Scotland.
- - 2002 Jul.
- Tokai High School; Nagoya, Japan
- 2002 Sep. - 2003 Jun.
- Kwalikum Secondary School; BC, Canada
- Graduated with completion of grade 12
- 2004 Sep. -

- BSc (Honours) in Computational Linguistics (expected to complete in 2008)
I sometimes take Panorama photos. [1]
I'm a Mac user, and before start stitching any photos, I had to port hugin to Mac. It took me long, but, hey, it's open source:) The Mac binary of hugin is still maintained by me, as well as the Japanese localisation for all platforms (though I use my computer in English).
My programming probably started with BASIC at school and AppleScript at home while I was in Junior High. I've written a simple 3D engine in QuickBASIC at my school, but didn't run fast enough... AppleScript went as far as AppleScript could go then. My father bought me a Java book around the same time and at least got the concept of OOP, but lost interest quickly mainly because old Mac OS did not have great support for Java. I had fun with a basic JavaScript programming as well [2].
Finally while I was in Canada, I've properly learnt computing for the first time, and passed the AP Computer Science AB, which was the last time they are using C++ for that course. At the same time, I was reading a lot about Objective-C on then new Mac OS X, and practise a bit more of Java and UNIX.
Currently I'm most comfortable with Java for writing programs, but C++, Objective-C, bash, and JavaScript are more or less all intelligible to me.
I have written the WidgetTerm, the terminal emulator Dashboard Widget. [3]
The idea was there ever since Apple revealed OS X 10.4 for developers. I just implemented it one summer, and it's still downloaded average about 35/day.
The Mac port of hugin took me really long before I finally identified the crucial bug in wxMac 2.5.2 onwards (eventually I fixed it by myself...).
Once having found flipping back to 2.5.1 solves the problem, I have added many platform specific modification to make it acceptable for Mac platform. Those include the bundle packaging, automatic locale selection (Mac OS X has priority locale selection like those of web browsers; unlike the model used by hugin and many others where only one preference can be selected), and file opening AppleEvents (needed to let files opened from other application like Finder the file browser).
I have also submitted a lot of bug reports to wxWidgets, and have fixed some of them by myself. I think their problem is more in the attitudes of releasing stable version while Mac version is still annoyingly buggy. The wxMac development is not so fast that new features are added before the previous bugs are squashed and it never gets completed. I sincerely hope some one takes their SoC project, and improve wxMac quality assurance a bit [4]. Me? I would've loved to, but I've got strong tie with hugin and panotools:) Besides, I know no other application than hugin that uses wxWidgets in this extent (20 XRCs and many of them have custom controls with DC painting), and I'm quite sure most other applications are happy with wxMac as it is.

Seaford Town 0-1 Peacehaven and Telscombe - at Shoreham FC - kick off 7:45pm
- click on photos to enlarge -
Choices, choices. On exiting the train station at Shoreham-by-Sea you are presented with three choices of public house. It would have been rude not to select at least one so we popped into the Crabtree for a swifty en route to our third and final game of the day the local derby between Seaford Town and Peacehaven and Telscombe.
On our approach to the ground we saw the Seaford Town lads doing their pre-match warm up in a public park. This was a bit Ken Dodd (odd) we thought but my word they looked pumped up and their coach was letting them know in no uncertain terms what it meant to the club. His language was interesting. More swear words than an episode of The Wire (do me a lemon - Ed).
The Sussex County Cup Finals Day seems to have been a victim of its own success. To be honest they struggled to cope with the crowds at Shoreham FC. The queue for the bar was enormous. This was a local derby with an edge and to savour the moment everybody needed beer(s).
Sorry about the quality of photos at this game. It wasn't a night for taking photos as the light wasn't ideal (You mean you'd had a skin full of ale Danny Boy - Ed).
I am led to believe there is a game of football going on there somewhere.
Again, considering we only paid £4 to get in there was plenty of quality on show. Chamal Fenelon was playing for Lewes earlier in the season, quite was he was doing playing here is anybodies guess but he showed his class. He was unlucky in the last minute when his tremendous effort from a country mile out hit the bar. That would have been a goal worthy of winning any final.
Peacehaven and Telscombe were slightly the better side and - when he could stay on his feet - Callum Saunders looked to be their go to man. Ultimately his run down the right proved to be a match winning one when weaved in and out of defenders before setting up Graig Bunch in the 91st minute to poke home the winner.
The football on offer may well have taken place in the 'downstairs' of the football pyramid but you simply cannot knock the value for money. Persistent drizzle hadn't spoilt the day or indeed night for anyone and we've made a point of inking Sussex County Cup Finals Day into our EFW diary for 2010. All being well, I'll be on the Sussex FA committee by then.

Rihanna is Red Hot on Vogue Cover
Rihanna is the cover girl for the upcoming November issue of Vogue and the singer tweeted the cover image. With her black pixie cut and scarlet lips, paired with a short, strapless, lacy, crimson frock and distant stare, our girl RiRi is red hot.
Her super short haircut really plays up the singer's delicate features. She's kneeling in a wheat field, mixing a natural and earthy atmosphere with high fashion. RiRi is looking more slender than usual, since the dress bares her long, lean arms.
The cover tag screams: "I love to have fun."
This is not news to anyone who follows RiRi's career and her extracirricular activities. Perhaps when quotes form the article are released, the singer will talk (that talk) about the Chris Brown situation. Rumors abound that the two will go public about their relationship once her new album 'Unapologetic' drops.
The shapeshifting style chameleon that is RiRi appeared on the April 2011 issue of the fashion bible, and she was red hot at that time, as well. She wore a wavy red wig and a long, lacy dress that showed a little side boob. You can relive that cover here and then tell us which of RiRi's Vogue cover looks you like better!

Team Fortress 2 Comes to Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed
The PC version of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed is about to get a visit from some very special guests.
Set to arrive on Jan. 31st, 2013, the PC edition of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed will include three new racers exclusive to the platform. While there will undoubtedly be a few people excited by the prospect of getting to play as the Manager from Football Manager, or the random Shogun warrior from Shogun: Total War, the biggest stars are likely to be a three-in-one of Valve characters.
Though they'll only act as one character, the Heavy, Pyro, and Spy from Team Fortress 2 will be playable in the PC version. The Heavy will drive the boat, while the Pyro drives the car, and the Spy flies the plane. It's a surprising addition, and one that should make console fans fairly jealous.

Invasive Scirrhous Carcinoma in Dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My parents' dog has just been diagnosed with a tumor and a life expectancy of 6 months. The tumor is an invasive scirrhous carcinoma with a predominantly solid pattern of growth. Has anyone out there heard of any "miracle stories" of treatments or alternative medicines that may provide a ray of hope for our situation? All responses are very much appreciated.
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
We will assume this a mammary carcinoma, although location is not specified in your e-mail question. Unfortunately, this is a tumor that carries a poor prognosis. We cannot address the question of alternative therapies. Although, traditional chemotherapy would probably consist of two cycles of adriamycin and cytoxan and then an assessment for response before proceeding with further therapy. If there is no pulmonary metastasis (spread to the lungs), surgical removal of the primary mass is indicated, if possible. The role of ovario-hysterectomy (if the dog is an intact female) is uncertain at this time, although recent data suggests that it might be beneficial.
Best of luck.

How Weight Affects High Blood Pressure
Self-Care Steps for High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the most common chronic adult illness in the United States. There is no cure for high blood pressure, but it can be controlled.
High blood pressure is one of the three major controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (risk relates not only to how high your blood pressure is but also to how long it has been raised).
Controlling your blood pressure can also reduce your risk of kidney disease. The sooner your blood pressure is controlled, the less you risk future problems.
High blood pressure can be hereditary. It can also be caused by a number of lifestyle factors, such as being overweight, smoking, or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. A small number of people have secondary hypertension, which is high blood pressure caused by organ problems, disease or medications.
Two numbers are used to measure your blood pressure: for example, 130 (systolic) over 85 (diastolic). The higher number, the systolic pressure, refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart squeezes to pump blood through the body. The lower number, the diastolic pressure, refers to the pressure inside the artery when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. You have hypertension if your systolic pressure is consistently 140 or greater and/or your diastolic pressure is consistently 90 or greater.
Treatment decisions are based on your blood pressure measurement, presence or absence of heart or kidney damage, and presence of other risk factors. Your doctor may give you medications right away or may try a period of lifestyle changes (such as regular exercise or change in diet) for up to 1 year. Depending on your treatment plan and medications prescribed, your doctor will tell you how often to have your blood pressure checked.
Self-Care Steps for High Blood Pressure
Reduce high blood pressure and cardiovascular risks by:
Losing weight. Being overweight increases your risk of developing high blood pressure. A weight loss of 5 to 10 pounds can lower and help control blood pressure. Weight loss can also decrease blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels. Weight loss is the most effective method for controlling hypertension without medication.
Exercising regularly. Regular aerobic exercise -- such as walking, running, bicycling, or swimming laps -- can prevent and reduce high blood pressure. More activity can also help reduce weight and stress. Experts recommend 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise as many days of the week as possible.
Controlling salt in your diet. Limit sodium to less than 2400 milligrams per day by not adding salt to food, and limiting processed, convenience, and fast foods.
Limiting alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure, add weight, and make blood pressure control more difficult. Avoid alcohol or limit yourself to two drinks a day for men, and one drink a day for women. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of 100-proof liquor.
Increasing potassium intake. A high intake of potassium may improve your blood pressure control. Not getting enough potassium may actually increase blood pressure. Many fruits and vegetables are good sources of potassium -- try to eat at least five servings a day.
Quitting smoking. Smoking cigarettes does not cause chronic high blood pressure, but smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Eating less fat. Evidence shows a low-fat diet may lower blood cholesterol and the risk for coronary artery disease. Eating less fat will also aid in weight loss.
Taking your medications. If your doctor prescribes medication, take it as directed. Discuss any side effects or reactions you experience with your doctor. Do not stop taking medications without talking to your doctor.
Seeing your doctor regularly. After your blood pressure is controlled, you should continue to have it checked regularly. There usually are not symptoms to tell you if your blood pressure is elevated. See your doctor at least once a year to make sure your blood pressure is under control.
To confirm a hypertension diagnosis, your doctor will need blood pressure readings from two or more visits. The data below outlines blood pressure classifications and the different stages of hypertension.

Diastolic (Bottom Number)
or 80-89
Stage 1 hypertension
or 90-99
Stage 2 hypertension

When my children were young, we always had a book we'd read aloud together before bed. Over the years, we made our way through modern classics such as Lois Lowry's "The Giver," and staples from my childhood like Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth." As I was reading John Connolly's whimsical and wicked "adult book for children," oh my, did I miss having a child around.
Connolly's tale screams to be shared. A young boy, Samuel Johnson, and his dachshund, Boswell, go trick or treating early, but they end up with more than a handful of Tootsie Rolls. Samuel discovers his neighbors, the Abernathys, have unwittingly opened a portal to hell in their basement. Eventually our hero has to find a way to stop all things evil "ending up here."
The plot appeals to all of us who, on occasion, hear "tentacles being folded" under our beds. But it's the tone, the details and the allusions Connolly layers into the story that make it such a delight.
The book's narrator is silly, snarky and sarcastic with a vast knowledge of everything from particle physics and philosophy to parenting and politics. He crams all of this wisdom into hilarious footnotes that form their own witty narrative. After a description of "Bishop Bernard the Bad," the narrator delights with a rant about "people throughout history with the word 'the' somewhere in their names" like "Wenceslas the Worthless ... who once cooked a chef alive for serving a bad ragout."
While Samuel fights back against the demons that have escaped through the portal, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland try to figure out if all this rampant evil is their fault. Coupled with the footnotes, this subplot becomes a clever meditation on the ethical responsibilities of scientific investigation. Plus, these scientists are a hoot.
The novel is populated with peculiar demons like "O'Dear, the Demon of People Who Look in Mirrors and Think They're Overweight" and quirky characters named Hume, Renfield, Rev. Ussher, and Samuel's best friend, Tom Hobbes -- the geek in me is still grinning at these names. Along with the whole "we may be doomed because the gates of hell have opened in the Abernathys' basement" problem, Samuel has other issues too. His teacher dislikes him and his dad wants a divorce. It seems "nobody ... listened to small boys."
Years ago, I listened to Connolly on a panel at the International Mystery Writers convention (he's the best-selling author of the Charlie Parker series). The panel was the most fun I've had at a conference -- ever. Connolly will be at "Once Upon a Crime" on Thursday. Let's hope he'll read aloud.

KAI RYSSDAL: The U.S. State Department said today record poppy harvests in southern Afghanistan are giving the Taliban more money to work with. The crop translated into $4 billion worth of opium, the raw ingredient for heroin. The Afghan government officially opposes the opium trade. But illegal or otherwise, it's nearly impossible for the government there to shut down a questionable enterprise. The World Bank says Afghanistan has fewer protections for business investors than any other country in the world - which has made the country a magnet for scammers large and small.

Low-Fat Sausage Gravy
My husband loves sausage gravy over biscuits for breakfast. Since we're trying to eat less fat, I make a plain white sauce, then add salt, pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper and sage. It tastes just like I made it from sausage drippings. Bonnie S., St. Petersburg, Florida

Teens learn lessons in music, and life
Chris Capocaccia waved his hands energetically, moving his eyes over the individual sections of the Stamford Young Artists' Philharmonic during a full run-through of "Hoedown," from Aaron Copland's 1942 ballet, "Rodeo."
"Not bad, not bad," he said.
Before a second run-through, Capocaccia announced the piece would be stopped whenever a major miscue occurred, but advised the players when they lose their place, they should err on the side of caution rather than play during a break in the music.
"Most of the time if you miss an entrance nobody will notice but if you play when nobody else is playing it will be heard," Capocaccia said. " . . . But if you play when nobody else is playing don't get nervous."
Capocaccia offered encouragement and guidance to the young performers in the hours before the inaugural performance of the 53rd concert season of the Stamford Youth Artists' Philharmonic at the Palace Theatre Sunday. The group is comprised of high school musicians from throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties selected by audition for membership, and who will perform six orchestral and chamber concerts from November through May.
Capocaccia is taking over as conductor of the Young Artists' Philharmonic, the most advanced of the three groups that make up the larger Young Artists' Program from the organization's founder, Salvatore Princiotti, an Old Greenwich resident who oversaw the organization through 52 seasons.
Born in Rome and having most recently served as assistant conductor with the Dallas Opera, Capocaccia said the attention to detail and listening required to play in an orchestra helps reinforce the spirit of cooperation and openness needed in the wider arena of life.
Concerts by the individual ensembles within the Philharmonic are held on a seven-week cycle during which the players rehearse the new music, he said.
"To play in the orchestra is actually a really great lesson on how to live in a community and for life in general," Capocaccia said. "An orchestra is an organism that is complex in its functioning in you find out that it is often better to listen than to talk and it's a beautiful lesson to learn."
Sunday's program included performances from three separate performing groups in the organization, the Young Artists' Philharmonic, which is a full orchestra; the Young People's Symphony, which includes intermediate musicians; and the Youth String Ensemble, for talented but generally younger and less seasoned musicians.
A chamber concert scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday will include performances of the Young People's Flute Choir, performing traditional Irish music, and "Sechs Kanzonetten No. 6" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the Young People's Jazz Ensemble performing selections by Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Stevie Wonder.
Harry Kliewe, a saxophonist, said he took up the oboe to join the Young Artists' Philharmonic because he wanted the experience of playing classical music in a larger group. His previous experience on the saxophone was only a partial preparation for learning the oboe, which is a much different instrument to manipulate.
Kliewe, 17, a Stamford High School student, said he plans to pursue a music performance major in college next fall.
Danielle Brooks, 17, a Greenwich High School senior, has performed with the Philharmonic since age 10 and played the clarinet since she was 7, she said.
As a child, Brooks knew her father played clarinet in high school, and generally practices one to two hours a day, while philharmonic practices can run as long as five hours, she said.
Brooks said in preparing for Sunday's concert she was particularly happy to be playing the overture from "The Barber of Seville," by 19th century Italian opera composer Gioacchino Rossini.
"This is the type of piece I really enjoy playing because I love that whole period of music," Brooks said. --¦ I love Italian music."
Capocaccia said as he begins his tenure heading the Philharmonic he hopes to institute an approach that will include some separate rehearsal for individual sections of the Philharmonic orchestra during the seven-week cycle of rehearsals between performances.
"I'm very excited for this challenge but we'll go step by step," Capocaccia said.
Tickets for the Stamford Young Artists Philharmonic at the Palace Theatre can be purchased at the Stamford Center for the Arts Box Office at 61 Atlantic St., Stamford; at 203-325-4466; or at tickets.stamfordcenterforthearts.org.

(KUTV) - A house fire in Layton, Utah could have been much worse if not for an alert witness, according to the Layton Fire Department.
The witness noticed flames in the kitchen of an apartment at 248 West Antelope Drive and forced his way into the home to extinguish the fire around 6:40 p.m. Sunday.
The man was able to get an extinguisher from one of the breezeways of the apartment complex before kicking down the door to douse the blaze.
It's unclear if the man was a neighbor or just in the area.
Battalion Chief Brad Wilkes of the Layton Fire Department says the witness "definitely saved the day."
The fire started because of unattended cooking on the stove. No one was home at the time.
"Don't leave the stove on and leave the house," Wilkes said.
The damage was limited to the kitchen and is estimated to be about $15,000.

In the second period, Cory Thorson would score the go-ahead goal for SCSU. It was Thorson's ninth goal of the season.
Kevin Gravel would seal the win for the Huskies with an empty net goal late in the third, making it 3-1 Huskies.
UND outshot SCSU 34-32 in the contest. Ryan Faragher had a stellar game in front of the net, making 33 saves for his 17th win of the season.
St. Cloud State improves to 19-8-5 overall and 13-6-3-0 in the NCHC with the win. UND is now 19-10-3 and 14-8-0-0 in the NCHC after the weekend series. The win secures home ice for SCSU in the first round of the NCHC playoffs on March 14-16.

I finally managed to find a Jupiter 4 after months of wanting one.
However, a day or so after getting it home, I noticed some continuous unwanted noise when ever the key is pressed. I would like to emphasize that of course the noise switch is off. This is really irritating gritty noise which I know for a fact shouldn't be there. The noise is also there when pressing a key with the waveform switched off.
It kind of reminds me of that mechanical vinyl sound - sizzling, crackling, dusty. If anything it has got worse and over powers the sound if the LPF is open. The noise is also there if the 'hold' button is engaged after pressing a key. However, there is no idle noise on the outputs which seem fine. A few of the presets (especially ones which close down the LPF such as bass) sound betterish - even though you can still hear the noise mixed in.
Trying to isolate the problem before spending any more money; it already emptied my savings Any ideas?

Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) : Guide for Adding New Item Records with Linked Resources What is a Record with Linked Resources ? In order for an item in a digital library to be findable and usable, the item should be described with information ab out the item. For a book in a library, this is often done with a catalog record. For an item in a digital library, the item information is also known as a record or more accurately as metadata. Metadata is data about data or defined information about a p articular thing Library and museum metadata may look something like this: Format: Greek Vase Date: 470 460 BC Height: 35 centimeters Title: [Greek Vase of O dysseus and Eumaiosthe Swineherd] Notes: The record or metadata described and provides information about the item. The item itself is composed of both the metadata and the digital files. Together, these make up the R esou rce O bject that is usable and useful within a digital library. The Digital Library of The Caribbean (dLOC) is almost entirely composed of full R esource O bjects with all of the files housed in dLOC. When trusted and verified external repositories hold mat erials, dLOC will sometimes include a Record with Linked Resources where there will be a record in dLOC and where that record links to the item in the external repository An example of a Record with Linked Resources in dLOC is the Puerto Rican Civil Cour t Documents Collection ( http://www.dloc.com/AA00015401/ and shown on the next page ) The record itself is composed of metadata about the Puerto Rican Civil Court Documents Collection and a link to the digital files within a verified repository Internet Archive. The record metadata includes sufficient information for users to find it when searching and browsing within dLOC, and so the record enables this item to be usable and useful.

Check Out Some Vintage Foo Fighters in Concert, and on a Cassette [VIDEO]
The awesome-ness of the Foo Fighters seems to have no bounds. In order to announce their upcoming appearance at the Reading & Leeds Festival, they have released the audio from their first appearance at Reading in 1995. If you follow the link it will take you to a website where you can virtually put the old school cassette into a player and hit the play button. Of course this interview video is before we had HD so the quality sucks. But the audio from the show is actually pretty good.

Wowie. Since the Democrats came back into the majority, it seems like the intertubes are suddenly choked with competing plans for universal healthcare coverage.
Senator Wyden of Oregon led out of the gate with an ambitious plan to dissolve the nation's employer-based health financing system in favor of individual mandates and community-rated plans. I like this idea, though it has enough unanswered questions to raise doubts whether it would work if enacted. It has sweeteners to bring employers, doctors, and insurers on board, and more importantly, it has the vision thing -- a big, bold plan which is simpler and much more palatable than HillaryCare. I suspect it will go nowhere.
In California, the Governator has followed in the footsteps of Mitt Romney by proposing a plan which would essentially force employers to pay for health insurance, either directly, or indirectly into a state-run health plan. It also inlcudes subsidies for the poor and community rating of plans to prevent insurers from trying to select out the sickest patients. However, the benefits are rather stingy, and for some reason they chose to ensure the health-care industry's opposition by taxing the income of doctors and hospitals to fund the state plan. There are rumors of price controls in the plan which sound ominous, but I have no direct evidence of. In the end, as Ezra points out, it is a great proposal from a Republican, moves the discussion left, and is unusual in that it is likely to be enacted in some form.
Representative Pete Stark and the folks at the Economic Policy Institute have a fascinating proposal of a hybrid national public-private system. It's simple and elegant. To crib from Ezra: "The government will create a new, Medicare-style health plan that's open for enrollment to any and all individuals interested . . . all employers will be required to offer insurance as good or better than the new government plan. If they don't want to contract out with the private sector, they'll pay 6% of payroll to enter their workers into the government plan. The unemployed and self-employed will have to buy coverage, and there'll be heavy subsidies tied to income." I suspect the insurance industry would fight this tooth and nail, but there's a lot here to like. This plan would essentially compete the private insurance industry out of business, I think. The net effect would be a gradual transition to a single-payer system, or one in which the private insurance industry is either much smaller or much less inefficient. As a doctor, I am not sure I like it, because Medicare is a terrible payer and there is a clear implication of cost controls, but from a national health policy perspective, it is pretty appealing.
And then there is the old favorite, "Medicare for all." A true single-payer system. It would be the cheapest and most efficient way to fund healthcare, would preserve the dynamism and vitality of the American health care industrial complex, and would ensure that every American had equal access to health care, without rationing. However, it would require taxes, and would essentially dissolve the insurance industry at a stroke, and would certianly draw fierce opposition from the physician's lobby, as Medicare is such a lousy payer. It would be easily tarred by opponents as big and scary and wasteful and requiring Canadian-style waiting lists, and too expensive. So it's dead, alas, because single-payer is definitely the best way to go, if only in theory.
I feel like I'm in a strange time warp to 1993. Heady times. I hope someone can muster the political courage to get soemthing on the table passed, if only as an experiment

Single-payor dynamism? Been reading NHS Blog Doctor? Once the government is in total control of the system, it's doomed.ReplyDelete
As my latest example I offer not the Post Office but the Department of Education, and all the efficiencies their single-payor system has brought to the American Educational System. There's no dynamism in that system, it is expensive and wasteful beyond belief, it is NOT producing a better end product than even 10 years ago. Finally, if you run into conflict with the system you lump it. The system always wins, the system exists for the system, not for its constituents.
And that's the best we could hope for with Single Payor.
Medicare for all -- that is what was on offer in Austria (where I was born, grew up, and worked for a few years), Germany, Luxembourg, and every other European country I worked in.ReplyDelete
I ended up getting private add-on insurance, for about the same money I pay here (Seattle area) for a no-copay no-deductible no-nothing PPO plan.
Oh, and you may not have heard what Germans and Austrians said about the healthcare on offer when I worked there -- "too little to live, too much to die." Sort of like EMTALA-mandated ER care, methinks ....

Meet the newest Denver Pépite. Frenchman Evan Fournier has just been drafted by the Nuggets.
The 19-year-old shooting guard stands 6-feet-6 and is a lethal 3-point shooter. While it's tough to put the stats in perspective, he averages 14.1 points per game in 26.2 minutes for Poitiers in the France Pro A league.
The big question is whether Fournier will join the team this season or if Denver will keep him overseas.
A source said that the Nuggets will evaluate whether Fournier will play for Denver next season or play overseas while Denver retains his rights.
Asked about Fournier on Wednesday, Nuggets' director of scouting Mike Bratz said: "He wants to play in the NBA next year, that's my impression. If he wanted to stay in Europe, maybe he doesn't put his name in. But it would be an option for whoever drafts him to persuade him to play overseas one more year."
Bratz added:
"He had a great workout here - quality player, terrific shooter. He's going to have a chance to play in the NBA in the very near future."
He's a talented shooter from the outside but at 204 pounds, Fournier said at his Denver workout this month:
"I need to improve on everything, (notably) getting stronger. ... I'm just trying to show that I can play tough. Be strong. And I think that's what I did today."
Quincy Miller goes at 38
It'll remain to be seen whether he'll crack the Nuggets roster, but Denver picked Quincy Miller 38th overall on Thursday, after a quality workout with the team earlier this month.
"I know they run, they shoot quick, get to the cup quick, get to the free-throw line," the 19-year-old Baylor forward said at the workout. "And that's the way I play.
"I just wanted to show the Nuggets my scoring package, that I'm versatile enough to do everything from pass, score, set screens and rebound, anything. And I wanted to show them that my knee was back to 100 percent."
Miller tore his ACL as a high-school senior and last season with Baylor, he admitted Wednesday that "during the year, I wasn't as back to normal, but now I'm feel I'm back to 100 percent."
For the Bears last season, Miller averaged 10.6 points per game and 4.9 rebounds, while sharing the Big 12 honors for top freshman with Le'Bryan Nash of Oklahoma State. He turns 20 on Nov. 18.
Miller is 6-9 and extremely thin - 210 pounds, in fact.
After the workout, Miller had a chat with Nuggets guard Ty Lawson. Asked what Lawson told him, Miller said: "He said he's trying to convince (executive) Masai Ujiri to pick me."
Now, they could be teammates.
Izzet Turkyilmaz goes at No. 50
Denver with its third pick, at No. 50, drafted Izzet Turkyilmaz, a forward. He's a 22-year-old, 7-footer who played on the on the Turkish National Team.

Police officer injured in Salisbury nerve agent attack in stable condition
A total of 21 people were seen by medical staff following the suspected nerve agent attack.
A police officer critically injured responding to the Salisbury nerve agent attack is in a stable condition, authorities confirmed as the injury toll climbed to 21.
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey rushed to the aid of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, who had been struck down by a toxic substance.
Wiltshire Police temporary Chief Constable Kier Pritchard said the officer was in a "serious, but stable, condition" and had since regained consciousness.
Both remain seriously ill in hospital following the murder bid on Sunday.
As uncertainty lingered over their fate, police said a total of 21 people had been seen for medical treatment in the aftermath of the incident.
The figure includes members of the public and emergency staff, some of whom have had blood tests as well as receiving support and advice.
It is feared that Mr Skripal – who was convicted in his home country for selling secrets to MI6 – was singled out for a state-sponsored assassination plot.
He joined the force in 2002 and was commended in 2016 his work on a rape investigation.
Prime Minister Theresa May echoed the sentiment, saying the events served as a "stark reminder" of the dangers faced by emergency staff.
Mr Pritchard said in a statement: "I have visited Nick in hospital this afternoon and I can confirm that he is conscious, talking and engaging with people.
"He still remains in a serious, but stable, condition, but I am deeply relieved to have visited him and spoken with him in person."
He added in an interview with Sky News: "Of course he's very anxious, he's very concerned. He did his very best on that night."
It comes amid a flurry of activity in Salisbury, where police sealed off the gravestone of Mr Skripal's wife Liudmila, who was buried in 2012, and the memorial stone of his son, Alexander, who was cremated last year.
They are located at separate sites in the London Road Cemetery, with each guarded by a police officer.
Hundreds of investigators, led by counter-terror police, are working to find out who is responsible for what is feared to be a sophisticated plot amid heightened tensions between Britain and Russia.
On Thursday night, an eyewitness said police had been searching a car at a vehicle recovery centre close to the Russian victim's home earlier that day.
He described seeing around 10 people in hazmat suits looking at the vehicle, which was said to be a Mercedes people-carrier.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the use of a chemical weapon on UK soil was a "brazen and reckless act", and the Government stood ready to act as a clearer picture emerged.
Russia has denied responsibility for the attack, which comes seven years after Mr Skripal was released from the country as part of a spy swap with the US.
He had been convicted in his home country in 2006 for passing state secrets to MI6.

Your article "What Choice?" mentions abortion laws that have exceptions "to protect life of the mother". These laws are perceived as compassionate. However, they often require a woman be in imminent danger of death in order to qualify for an abortion. I've cared for a mother of three with a 90% risk of death if she continued her pregnancy. Despite facing the real possibility of leaving her children motherless, this patient would not have qualified for an abortion under most of the clauses meant "to protect the life of the mother". Laws that restrict abortion, even when they contain exceptions, can leave a dangerous and unconscionable gap in compassionate health care.
