Program Highlights
Welcome to Portland
I am proud to be a native Oregonian (for the last 32 years, that is), and it is my great pleasure to welcome you to beautiful Oregon for the Summer 2010 meeting. I sincerely hope that in addition to attending some of the quality workshops and many of the excellent sessions, you will also take time to get to know what is so special about Oregon, and its largest, most vibrant city, Portland. Schedule some time before or after the meeting to experience beautiful, uncrowded beaches and dramatic cliff-side overlooks of the Pacific Ocean; views (and hikes) of the majestic Cascade Mountains; cascading Multnomah and other falls. All of these Oregon treasures (and Washington's Mt. St. Helens) are within 100 kilometers of downtown Portland. During the meeting enjoy the exciting museums, gourmet, unique and eclectic restaurants, inviting Willamette* and Columbia riverfronts, and efficient TriMet transit system that make Portland one of the most livable cities in the country. Saunter into Powell's Books, head out on a walk around this pedestrian-friendly city, or venture for a hike in the surrounding hills of Washington Park.** I can't imagine a better place to hold the Summer Meeting! (Of course. It's less than a two-hour drive from my house!)
Read the rest of Program Chair David Sokoloff's Welcome Letter...
The theme of the meeting is "50 Years with Lasers." There will be a tutorial, "Teaching About Lasers," on Saturday (co-sponsored by LaserFest). Then, Monday will be "Laser Day," featuring 2.5 hours of plenary presentations on uses of lasers in precision frequency measurement (optical frequency combs), biomedical imaging and diagnosis and treatment of the eye. Laser Day will also feature the premier of a new documentary on the development and applications of lasers produced by SPIE (international optical engineering society).

Video: Celebrating 50 Years of the Laser
In 1960 Ted Maiman fired the world's first laser, a very low-powered device by today's standards that was dubbed a "death-ray" by some and a "solution looking for a problem" by others.Today the laser touches our lives in countless ways - from the supermarket scanner to DVD players, from cosmetic surgery to state-of-the-art medical advances, from connecting people through the Internet to keeping our communities secure - lasers are everywhere in today's world.This film looks at how lasers impact our lives today and into the future through comments from a collection of laser pioneers and the researchers who are advancing the technology. The video, scheduled for viewing on Monday at 6:15 and Tuesday at 9:20 is a production of SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, as part of its Advancing the Laser celebration.
Demo Show: The Physics of Vaudeville!
This year we have a very special demo show at the beautiful Newmark Theater at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. The traditional demo show features physicists performing demos. This year, we have performers doing juggling and other vaudeville type circus acts and we have to find the physics! This will be an evening of entertainment and hopefully, inspiration for all to develop or access the performing arts when taking physics to the public. Of course it is also the 50th year anniversary of the laser. It may give you a hint of what else to expect. Featured Performers include Jugglemania'sRhys Thomas, aerialist Kyoko Uchida, and Brittany Walsh from Circus Artemis, music by Shoehorn, also acts by Curtis Carlyle, Rob Brown, and Laseronics. The theater and special picnic are "Off Site", but located just one block from the conference hotel. The show is sponsored by Vernier Software and Laserfest.

Vail Resorts introduces Epic Discovery
July 19, 2012
VAIL – Vail Mountain is poised to become a summer playground.
Speaking to a packed house in the new community room atop the Lionshead Parking Structure, Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz Thursday unveiled "Epic Discovery – a Summer Mountain Adventure," an ambitious plan for warm-weather recreation on the company's ski areas, starting with Vail Mountain.
The company announced the plan the day the proposed project was submitted to the U.S. Forest Service for approval. Virtually all of the resort sits on federal land and is subject to the feds' environmental and other regulations. Katz said the approval process could take between a year and 18 months, but added that he expects to have the first elements of the plan in place by the summer of 2014.
The work can happen quickly because it will happen at or near areas on the mountain that have already been developed. It's also a lot easier to run a zip line than it is to build a gondola.
The result, Katz said, could be a new era in the history of the mountain.
"We're re-imagining what summer can be like," he said.
Recommended Stories For You
Katz said he and other company officials started thinking about ways to expand summer business several years ago. They quickly discovered that adding summer events and activities would literally require an act of Congress, given the restrictions in the then-existing ski area management laws.
Those restrictions meant ski areas that wanted to be in the summer recreation business had to build facilities on private land. Vail Resorts was able to successfully build an alpine slide on private land in Breckenridge, but was thwarted by neighbors when it proposed a similar project at Beaver Creek.
Wanting to do more, the company made its case for summer recreation to then-Rep. Mark Udall – now a U.S. Senator from Colorado – who kept introducing what he called the "Ski Area Recreational Opportunities Enhancement Act." After years of trying, the bill was passed and signed into law last year.
That's when the resort company's planning went into high gear.
Eagle County Commissioner Jon Stavney, who attended Thursday's announcement, called the project a "game changer" for summer tourism in the valley.
Katz said the idea behind the Epic Discovery program is to put more paying guests on Vail Mountain in the summer, of course. But, he added, those people, especially kids, will be able to learn a lot about the forest environment in a safe, accessible way.
The plan includes several zip lines, ranging from quick rides to hours-long canopy tours. The plan also includes ropes courses and family-oriented activities, from expanded hiking and biking trails to Segway scooter rides on the mountain.
There's adventure involved, of course, but Katz said Epic Discovery also wants to make the mountain accessible to people who might not have been to Vail before, including destination visitors, Front Range tourists, and the vast number of summer travelers – including about 3 million travelers who visit Rocky Mountain National Park every summer – who pass through while driving along Interstate 70.
Fun is the main draw, of course, but Katz said education will play a big role in the Epic Discovery universe, too.
The primary element in the educational parts of Epic Discovery is "learning through play," Katz said. That kind of learning can get youngsters inspired to learn about the forest and how to care for it. That's going to include "interpretive" areas that tell guests about the forest. But it also includes treading lightly on the mountain, Katz said.
For instance, Katz carefully described the proposed "Forest Flyer," a kind of alpine slide on raised rails. Most of that careful description involved not calling the ride any kind of roller coaster. Katz said he'd expect the people who grade amusement park coasters to give the Forest Flyer an F.
"We don't want to be Elitches (in Denver)," Katz said more than once.
The educational part of Epic Discovery also includes working with The Nature Conservancy, one of the country's biggest conservation organizations. That partnership includes donating 1 percent of all summer revenue to the group that it can then put toward forest restoration projects.
Tim Sullivan, director of the Colorado chapter of the Nature Conservancy, said the group has worked with Vail Resorts before, particularly in its efforts to rehabilitate the thousands of acres of public land burned in the 2002 Hayman Fire.
"We're excited about the degree to which (Vail Resorts sees) education as part of their business model," Sullivan said.
While fun and education are the draws, Epic Discovery is also a business move, and Katz said the summer program could be good for businesses beyond the one he runs.
When Udall was promoting his bill, one of the selling points was creating more jobs in areas that have long had wide seasonal swings in their economies – in Vail alone, about 70 percent of annual sales tax revenues come from the ski season.
Katz said Epic Discovery will create several construction jobs in the short term, and will allow more seasonal employees to work year-round, or close to it. Summer activities on the mountain could also stretch Vail's summer beyond its traditional Fourth of July through late August period. Epic Discovery could push the season into June and, he said, could even stretch well into September, which would be a perfect time to bring school groups to the mountain.
And those benefits will be expanded to the company's other resorts in coming years, although to different degrees. Katz said Breckenridge is being considered for a comprehensive program, as is Heavenly, in California. The company's smaller resorts – including Beaver Creek, Northstar and Kirkwood – will probably see less-ambitious plans more suited to those resort brands.
Local restaurateur Brian Nolan said he's excited to see the Epic Discovery plan, especially since one of his restaurants is near the base of the Lionshead Gondola.
Over lunch, Nolan and Antlers Lodge General Manager Rob LeVine were only half-jokingly talking about people coming down tired and in need of a room after a day at Eagles Nest.
But Nolan wasn't joking at all when he said, "I'm looking forward to all the new guests it will bring."

I baked you something special. Cookie tartlets with little red peek-a-boo heart cut-outs. In honor of the occasion.
Soft sugar cookies sandwiched with tart strawberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar. They melt in your mouth in a blizzard of sweetness, tender cookie and the crisp bite of the jam.
Sugar cookies are associated most often with Christmas but using different shapes and fillings to fit the season easily turns them into an anytime treat.
I'm thinking mid summer to showcase fresh, homemade jam. Paired with a glass of iced tea, lemonade. . .Or maybe you're like me and drinking hot tea all day long, everyday, even during the summer is perfectly normal. In that case having a sugar cookie that reminds you nostalgically of the holidays to go along with it is a perfectly natural occurrence.
Ever hear of Christmas in July?
I'm counting the days.
Soft sugar cookies sandwiched with tart strawberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar.
- In a large bowl beat the shortening, butter, sour cream, sugars, salt, baking powder and vanilla together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat until fluffy.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour and cornstarch then stir into the wet mixture.
- Divide the dough in half and form into 2 disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough 1/8" thick. Cut the dough into shapes with a round cookie cutter and then cut the middle out of half of them with a small heart or round cookie cutter.
- Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets 8 - 10 minutes until light brown around the edges. Cool on wire racks.
- To assemble spoon about a half teaspoon jam into the center of the round cookies and place a center-cut cookie on top. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

A claim without evidence can be rejected without evidence. They are making a claim that they always existed as a 'persecuted Church' but they never present ANY evidence whatsoever for that notion.
Has anyone here read The Pilgrim Church by E.H. Broadbent? It seems to be in the same realm as Trail of Blood - claiming that there were always "true believers" (i.e. Baptists or Brethren) down through the ages that were persecuted by the historic Church (usually identified as the Roman Catholic Church which started with Constantine).The theory's rubbish, right?

See the First Photos of the Royal Baby! – Prince William and Kate Middleton Debut Their Baby Boy
Prince William and Kate Middleton have proudly debuted their newborn baby boy to the world today (July 23).
Prince William and Duchess Kate emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in central Londond today with the future monarch in tow so he could be photographed by the press.
"He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's fur sure" Prince William told reporters. "He's a big boy, he's quite heavy," he added.
Prince William also told reporters that they are still working on a name and will have one picked out very soon. Today is the royal couple's first chance to really spend some time with their new baby giving them "a proper chance to catch up."
Kate told reporters that William had already changed his first diaper and he was "very good" at it. "It's a special time," Kate said beaming.
After answering a few questions, Prince William and Kate headed back into the hospital to prepare to take their little of bundle of joy to Kensington Palace.

I was looking through my Flickr photo album and realized that I have a few cupcakes and muffins that I made in the past few months but never posted the pictures. So here's a quick compilation.
Black bottom cupcakes
My first taste of a black bottom cupcake was over 20 years ago from the Just Desserts bakery in the Marina district. It's a cocoa based chocolate cupcake with a chocolate chip cheesecake like center. You can't tell from the photograph, but I baked these in miniature muffin tins so they're only about 1-inch in diameter. They were a huge hit at my 2-year-old niece's birthday party. (I didn't include the recipe for black bottom cupcakes here. The recipes on the internet are all pretty similar to mine.)
"Boston cream pie" cupcake*
This is my most recent cupcake experiment, the "Boston cream pie" cupcake. Boston cream pie is not really a pie but a cake - 2 layers of cake filled with a vanilla custard or pudding and then topped with a chocolate glaze. I took the idea of those components and turned them into a cupcake. I used a traditional all-American yellow butter layer cake recipe and made cupcakes instead of layer cakes. I filled the cupcakes with a vanilla bean pastry cream and then topped them with a chocolate frosting. My last experimental cupcake was my mojito cupcake back in May.
Trio of muffins
From left to right, cherry almond oatmeal muffin (I used the batter from my cherry almond oatmeal cake), chocolate chip muffin, and blueberry muffin.
More blueberry muffins. I accidentally over mixed the batter slightly, which explains the peaked muffin tops. Despite my over mixing, the muffin was still moist and tender.
* Recipe for "Boston Cream Pie" cupcakes...
Vanilla Cupcakes
(makes 18 cupcakes)
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened at room temp.
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Butter and flour 18 (4-oz capacity) wells of your muffin pans. Or you can use paper cupcake liners.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside dry ingredient.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
On low speed, mix in one-third flour mixture then one-half milk. Repeat, ending with final one-third flour mixture.
Divide batter among the 18 wells. They should be no more than 3/4 full.
Bake at 350F until light golden brown and cake tester is clean, about 20-23 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling or frosting.
Pastry Cream
(there will be cream leftover after filling 18 cupcakes)
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Bring the milk and1/4 cup sugar to a simmer in a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat.
Sift together remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the cornstarch and salt. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sifted dry ingredients and whisk until fluffy.
Remove the simmering milk from the heat and ladle out about half a cup of the hot milk. Whisk it slowly into the egg/flour mixture. Once the milk is incorporated, pour the mixture back into the hot milk in the saucepan, whisking constantly.
Place saucepan over low heat and begin to whisk the pastry cream. In about 1 minute, it should boil and thicken. Continue whisking for about 3 minutes or until it has the consistency of pudding. To test cream for doneness, coat the back of a spoon. The cream will stay in place when you draw a line with your finger down the middle of the cream.
Strain the pastry cream through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl. Add the butter and vanilla and stir until it is butter melted and incorporated. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
How to assemble the "Boston Cream Pie" cupcakes:
Using a pastry bag, insert tip into the top of your vanilla cupcake and pipe about 1 teaspoon of cooled pastry cream into the center. Alternatively, you can cut out a hole from the top of the cupcake and spoon in the pastry cream. Make sure to replace the top. Frost your filled cupcakes with your favorite chocolate frosting, ganache, or glaze. Store cupcakes in refrigerator.
And here's a picture of my sweet little muffin of a cat, Diane. This photo was taken last Thanksgiving when she was still a "fat cat". She's been quite ill lately and, subsequently, she's lost a lot of weight. We're hoping she'll get better soon.
EDITED on 9/29 to add recipe for "Boston Cream Pie" Cupcake.

These pages have been full of late with letters from anti-abortionists bewailing Gov. Cuomo's proposal to improve abortion access in our state. Are we, as it so often seems, doomed to this forever? No.
These pages have been full of late with letters from anti-abortionists bewailing Gov. Cuomo's proposal to improve abortion access in our state. Are we, as it so often seems, doomed to this forever? No.
We can end this destructive conflict. All we have to do is change the law so that all restrictions anywhere on abortion other than those required for the mother's health and safety are ended, and require only that enough of the fetus's DNA be saved to clone it and restart the pregnancy at a later date.
If a woman or couple were uninterested in doing so, the DNA would be available for others to try to bring to term and adopt. This way we would preserve both interests in the debate: The woman's reproductive freedom would be protected, as pro-choice activists want; and every fetus would at least have the chance to be born, a right anti-abortionists proclaim inalienable. How about it, America?
Daniel Case
In regard to the "distribution of wealth" poll: If I have a company that I started, worked very hard to make successful and have earned a lot of money from, just why should my "wealth" be "redistributed" to those who had nothing to do with its success?
I believe everyone who thinks that this scenario is OK should think twice about what they are suggesting.
Bruce C. Tillson
Your editorial critical of parents protesting New York state's new, more rigorous testing of students in grades 3-8 is way off the mark. Few parents and even fewer educators have a problem with raising the achievement bar or measuring progress through testing. The issue is how poorly the testing program is being implemented.
State education officials have admitted that students will be questioned on material they have not been taught. Not surprisingly, they expect that many students will do poorly on these tests. They are knowingly setting up children to fail. How many young students will take away from these tests a feeling that "I just can't do this?" That sorry lesson can last a lifetime.
Politicians and bureaucrats have made guinea pigs out of our children for a possible greater good in the long run. They don't seem to have much concern for the harm they are doing. Perhaps they think that collateral damage doesn't hurt.

Types of Retinal Detachment
Topic Overview
There are three types of retinal detachment.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is the most common type of detachment. It is caused by holes or breaks in the retina called retinal tears. A retinal tear allows fluid from the middle of the eye to pass through the tear and settle under the retina. As the fluid builds up under the retina, it pushes the retina away from the layer beneath it.
The most frequent cause of retinal tears is posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). PVD is a normal part of aging, in which the vitreous gel separates from the retina. PVD is usually harmless, but sometimes the vitreous gel can pull so hard that it tears the retina. Retinal tears occur most often on the sides (periphery) of the retina, because the vitreous gel is attached to the retina most strongly in those areas. If eye fluid moves through the tear and builds up under the retina, the retina may come off the back of the eye.
Retinal tears often do not lead to retinal detachment. But retinal tears that occur with new symptoms (such as floaters, flashes of light, or other visual disturbances) are much more likely to progress to detachments. A retinal detachment also may be more likely to occur if you have other things that increase your risk-for example, if you are nearsighted or if you have had recent cataract surgery.
Traction retinal detachment occurs when scar tissue or other abnormal tissue grows on the surface of the retina, pulling the retina away from the layer beneath it. This does not cause a specific tear or break in the retina.
The leading cause of traction retinal detachment is proliferative retinopathy, a condition most frequently caused by diabetes.
Exudative retinal detachment occurs when blood or fluid from the middle layer of tissue that forms the eyeball (choroid) flows into the space under the retina and separates the retina from the layer beneath it. The detachment does not involve tears in the retina or traction from the vitreous.
Exudative retinal detachment is most often a complication of other diseases or conditions. These can include severe macular degeneration, eye tumours, inflammation in the choroid or the retina, or severe high blood pressure.

I decided to add this to the recently posted occupational images of photographers with their camera.
Image itself is about 4 1/2" X 7 1/2" and is on a larger mount. It is typical of images from the 1890s- 1905.
In addition to the photographer with camera, this image is also a "trick photograph". The photographer and his subject are the same-- the photographer appears to be taking a photograph of himself!
Any information about the camera is welcome.

Paparazzi photographers are not disappearing from our culture anytime soon. Because of their candid photos and the immediacy of the Internet gossip sites, there is more awareness than ever of the minute details of the lives celebrities live in public, including the cars they drive. Anyone with more than a passing interest in a given celebrity can probably name one of that star's cars.
But they can't possibly name all the cars—as you'll see in the following list of favorite types of cars owned by the rich and famous, some names are repeated because they have a collection of cars.

Rams Win 9 Events, 3 Relays at First-Ever Track Meet
- 7 ECAC Qualifiers; Brown and Pierre break school record in the Hammer -
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's and women's outdoor track teams won nine individual events and three relays in the Farmingdale Invitational, the first-ever outdoor track meet at the new complex at Farmingdale State on Saturday, March 27th.
The men's team had four ECAC qualifiers, one relay and three individuals, for the day as they took seven 1st's, five 2nd's and six 3rd place finishes among the 13 teams competing in the meet, which included Division I Sacred Heart University, Division II schools Dowling, Molloy and Queens, six Division III schools and three Community Colleges.
Highlighting the men was junior Deshaun Thomas (Jamaica, N.Y./Thomas Edison), who won two events and ran the third leg of the 1st place 4x100-meter Relay team. He also placed 1st in the 100-meter Dash (11.14) and the 200-meter Dash (22.42).

The women's team had three ECAC qualifiers and a new school record in the Hammer Throw by sophomore Gina Pierre (Wyandanch, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) with a toss of 41.25m (135' 4") placing her in 5th place for the meet. Freshman Corine Magee (Mastic Beach, N.Y./William Floyd) won two events (100m Dash, 200m Dash) and ran the final leg of the 1st place 4x100m Relay team (51.09) with freshman Vicky Mandat (West Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon), freshman Kathleen Clermont (Uniondale, N.Y./Uniondale) and freshman Faustine Chukwuezi (Central Islip, N.Y./Central Islip).
The Rams had five second place finishes and two 3rd place finishes. Mandat ran the lead leg of the 4x100-meter Relay, while also taking 2nd in the 100m Hurdles (15.41), 3rd in the 200m Dash (26.77) and 3rd in the Triple Jump (10.28m - 33" 8 3/4").
Chukwuezi finished in second place in both the Long Jump (4.85m - 15' 11") and Triple Jump (10.60m - 34' 9 1/2"), while sophomore Dominique Cunningham (Amityville, N.Y./Copiague) placed 2nd in the High Jump (1.38m - 4' 6 1/4") and junior Janel Monah (Westbury, N.Y./Westbury) place 2nd in the 100m Dash (13.40).

A few Notes on Booking All Events General Party Tips
Beware of fast talking salesmen and fancy websites! Many times the person on the other end of the phone is not your DJ! Beware of bragging "multi-op" DJ companies who hire young inexperienced DJs who work for a small hourly wage……some of which are afraid of a microphone! Wouldn't you be horrified if you found that the $500+ dollars you paid for a "professional" was a beginner training on the job! What makes a good DJ?………Experience! Sure, anyone can play music but a professional DJ will have spent years honing his craft and "read" the crowd and know what to play and when to play it. He will know all types of music from oldies to current & know song tempos. Remember, nothing beats experience and you hire a professional for their expertise. Ask a lot of questions! Does the price include "setup-teardown-load-in" and/or "travel" charges? lights? refund policy? Get it in writing! Beware of these sales pitches! "hire us we're the best" or "the cheapest" or "the most expensive" If you feel the price quote is too high you may be paying franchise fee's. Too low and you may be talking to someone that does it as a "hobby". Everyone loves to save $ and you may be tempted to book a "friend of a friend" to save $. I couldn't tell you how many times I have gotten calls from folks who went this route only to have the DJ cancel @ the last minute! Get it in Writing!I encourage you to talk to all DJ's you can for your special event. Research & gather your information, and then hire based on who you think will do the best job for you!

Virtuoso possessed 'nerves of steel'
Ontario trumpeter and music professor renowned for his recordings and his mentoring
By Sol CHROM Friday, January 3, 2003, Page R11
He could make his trumpet sing like an angel, but he was not above taking a hacksaw to it. When Erik SCHULTZ died of cancer last month at the age of 50, Canadian music lost a virtuoso player, a teacher and mentor, a prolific recording and performing artist, and a man renowned among colleagues as a consummate professional.
A member of the music faculty at the University of Western Ontario, Prof. SCHULTZ also made several concert tours of Europe and founded an independent recording label for Canadian musicians. He held positions with Canadian orchestras in Calgary, Hamilton, London, Ontario, Toronto, and Windsor, Ontario He also established an international reputation with an extensive repertoire of recordings of his own, specializing in music of the Baroque period.
Prof. SCHULTZ's musicianship and professionalism were noted by numerous colleagues, both in academia and in the performing arts. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster Keith HORNER, who worked on several recordings and radio programs with him, recalled his "bright, clear, ringing tone." Mr. HORNER praised Prof. SCHULTZ for his expertise with the piccolo trumpet, which he described as a very difficult instrument to master.
"It requires nerves of steel," he said. "With Erik, you didn't hear the work in it. He made it sound effortless -- and that was all smoke and mirrors, because it takes a great deal of physical effort."
Prof. SCHULTZ may have been known best for a series of albums he recorded with organist Jan OVERDUIN. The recordings were made in Kitchener, Ontario, and in Germany, and were issued both on vinyl and on compact disc. The two musicians first teamed up in Europe, where they were both touring in the mid-1980s, setting the stage for a collaboration that lasted until Prof. SCHULTZ's death.
In an interview from Waterloo, Ontario, Prof. OVERDUIN recalled his colleague as an enthusiastic participant in all kinds of musical events, both amateur and professional. "He would just transform the whole experience," Prof. OVERDUIN said. "There were times when I just stood in awe -- he'd be communicating with the audience on a level that was just beyond us."
Prof. OVERDUIN also cited his friend's commitment to musicianship, often displayed under rather trying circumstances. On one European tour, a delayed flight to Portugal saw them arrive in Lisbon with very little time to prepare for a concert. The difficulty was heightened by the fact that both musicians had gotten quite sick and had to find a doctor in Lisbon who could prescribe antibiotics.
And many performances in Europe, Prof. OVERDUIN said, were staged in old churches wherein the temperature or tuning of the organ posed their own special challenges. Since the organs couldn't be moved or modified, Prof. SCHULTZ would have to make adjustments to the pitch of his trumpet. Frequently this would require him to carry extra mouthpieces or lengths of tubing, but even that wasn't always enough.
"One day he had to get a hacksaw and physically saw out a piece of the trumpet," Prof. OVERDUIN recalled. "These were historic organs -- I would have a wonderful time, but it could be difficult too. [Sometimes] they would have weird historical temperaments, but he would adjust immediately."
Prof. SCHULTZ's commitment to music extended beyond his own career, however. In 1993, he and his father started IBS Recordings, a label for independent Canadian artists, eventually releasing more than three dozen titles. Flutist Fiona WILKINSON, one of Prof. SCHULTZ's colleagues at University of Western Ontario, recorded for the label as a member of the Aeolian Winds, and praised him for his generosity. Having established his own international recording career with the German label EBS, she said, he used IBS to support and nurture the initial careers of Canadian musicians. "He would interview and audition artists and take on projects that he felt deserved to be known."
"He positioned it as a discovery label," Mr. HORNER said. "He was ambitious -- he was looking for a recording studio so that he could have some control over sound quality."
Prof. WILKINSON also praised Prof. SCHULTZ for his collegiality. He raised the bar for the people he worked with, she said, acting as a role model for students and colleagues. "He had incredibly high standards. Everything he touched had to meet them."
But Prof. WILKINSON also remembered Prof. SCHULTZ for his sense of humour, and the real-world experience he brought to his teaching and academic work. "He knew what it was like to be 'out there,' " she said, "and he brought that back to the students."
Even with his illness, Prof. SCHULTZ never lost his enthusiasm for performing.
"He lost his voice, and couldn't talk on the phone, but he could still play," Prof. OVERDUIN recalled, noting that Prof. SCHULTZ still played at convocations last June. "It hurts me to think we'll never play again."
Erik SCHULTZ leaves his wife Kelly, his children Daniel, David and Nicole, and two sisters.
Erik SCHULTZ, musician and teacher; born in Hamilton, Ontario, August 29, 1952; died in London, Ontario, December 1, 2002.

ABB plans makeover of GE's `unloved child' in $2.6 billion dealBy ALICE BAGHDJIAN, AARON KIRCHFELD and ED HAMMOND
September 25. 2017 4:47PM
Swiss engineering company ABB agreed to buy General Electric's industrial solutions business for $2.6 billion to strengthen its foothold in the U.S., the world's biggest market for electrification products like circuit breakers and switchgears.
ABB will incur costs of $400 million over five years to integrate GE's industrial solutions unit, Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Spiesshofer told journalists on a call Monday. He said he's prepared for the challenge of reversing its waning market share and years of under-investment at the business, which is in need of some "support" and "oxygen."
"It was a non-core business, and what happens with unloved children is they might not get the right level of attention to be nurtured or get going," Spiesshofer said. "We know what needs to be fixed, but we are very confident this business will prosper as part of ABB."
Worth some $30 billion, the U.S. is the world's largest market for electrification, according Spiesshofer, who is trying to rekindle growth at ABB after wrapping up a four-year restructuring plan. His latest deal expands ABB's offering of critical power, transformers and related services for customers such as hospitals, data centers and refineries. That's in contrast to prior calls from activist investor Cevian Capital AB to break the company up.
GE started a bidding process in December for industrial solutions. Bloomberg News reported Friday that a deal was close.
During the prolonged negotiations, Spiesshofer said that while GE controlled the pace of the sale process, he stuck to his guns on what he thought industrial solutions was worth. Part of the attraction is how the transaction will forge closer links between the two companies, with ABB a key supplier, he said during a Bloomberg TV interview.
"We have clearly articulated the current challenges but also the strength of the business," the CEO said. "When we look at the overall ratio between price and value creation potential, we find this acquisition very attractive."
A previously announced share buyback will be put on hold due to the transaction, the Zurich-based company said in a statement on Monday. The deal is expected to generate cost savings of about $200 million annually.
"On the face of it, we believe there was a lengthy process to reach this deal and it looks reasonable," Morgan Stanley analyst Katie Self said in a note. "The more pressing issue at hand, though, will be around the previously announced share buyback, which ABB is now putting on hold as a result of the acquisition, news we don't expect will be well received."
ABB rose 0.5 percent to 24.06 francs as of 10:40 a.m. in Zurich.
For GE, the transaction marks the first major portfolio change under CEO John Flannery, who took over on Aug. 1 and is trying to reverse this year's biggest stock slide on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Under pressure from activist investor Trian Fund Management, GE agreed in March to deepen its cost-cut targets. Proceeds from the electrical-products division sale would be used to fund restructuring, the company has said.
Industrial solutions, one of GE's smaller divisions, has about 13,000 employees.
The sale is part of a broader reorganization of GE Energy Connections & Lighting, the company's least-profitable unit last year with margins of 2.1 percent. GE has also put its iconic light-bulb manufacturing operations on the market. The company is combining energy connections with GE Power.
Flannery, who handled mergers and acquisitions for GE in 2013 and 2014, has said he'll outline his plans for the Boston-based company and its portfolio in November. Under former CEO Jeffrey Immelt, the maker of gas turbines, jet engines and ultrasound machines tilted toward equipment manufacturing in recent years while jettisoning most finance and consumer operations.
Bloomberg's Richard Clough contributed.

Since the first option on an exchange-traded fund (ETF) was launched on the American Stock Exchange in 1998, followed by the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 2000, the market segment has grown steadily in popularity.
Investors now benefit from a wide range of ETF underlyings, from U.S. equity indexes to all kinds of stock-, bond- and commodity-based ETFs. However, quite a few ETF options still exhibit low trading volume. Many ETFs are quite specialized and, therefore, cover specific market segments that interest only a few investors.
In contrast to more popular options in broad-based equity indexes, these ETF options also are American style; they are physically settled and are subject to early exercise. A proper understanding of the products combined with an analysis of correlation, skew and volatility levels — both implied and realized — uncover opportunities that can supplement any trading plan.
Assessing opportunity
There are many liquid ETF and index options that give investors numerous investment choices. To get a feeling for the option underlyings, "Correlation matrix" (below) lists correlation values for some selected ETFs and equity indexes based on three-month implied volatilities and spot price changes (reported in dollars) based on weekly data for the last three years.
Obviously, the implied volatilities and spot correlation tables look alike because of the relationship between volatility and spot movements. Although those correlations are not stable over time and appear high for this sample, the figures indicate opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolios. Especially interesting is how correlations between commodity-based ETFs and those based on emerging markets are, on average, lower than their correlations with U.S. and European equities.

5, 6, 7, 8: 9th Inning Walk-Off Lets Dodgers Capture First Dance With Cardinals sbn.to/KmS54kThe only reason Ellis was in this position was thanks to a blown save.
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) May 19, 2012
Kenley Jansen, who obviously doesn't have the smarts or heart to be a closer, gave up the lead on a Lance Berkman pinch-hit game-tying home run in the ninth inning. The Dodgers, however, took no time to threaten in the bottom half of the inning.
Elian Herrera (yes, that guy!) drew a walk after an eight-pitch at-bat, Adam Kennedy collected his fourth (not a typo) hit of the night and, for reasons beyond human comprehension, the Cardinals decided to walk James Loney intentionally to get to Ellis, the only other guy than Matt Kemp (disabled list) and Andre Ethier (struck out after Herrera walked) with a .900-plus OPS on the team.
Bad managing for the win, I suppose.
So, it'd be nothing short of amazing to see Ellis, GTE (greatest thing ever), to make it to Kansas City for the All-Star Game. Click the badge in the right sidebar to make it happen.
Oh, and a sure sign of the Apocalypse: the Dodgers are 2-0 when Kennedy hits fifth in the order.
Anyway, I'm graduating with my bachelor's of arts today and wanted for fire off a quick post before I did. Here's hoping Kershaw's on his game and the offense can get something going against Jake Westbrook.

|Otterbein alumnus Ricardo Lenhart led Team USA in
receiving yards and caught a touchdown pass to end the first
IFAF photo
The United States produced a stunning display of offensive fireworks and defensive dominance to humble Canada 50-7 in the Gold Medal game of the 2011 IFAF Senior World Championship and defend the world title it won in Japan in 2007.
USA scored 21 points in the final 1:51 of the first half and rarely looked likely to lose its grip on the world crown in front of 20,000 partisan fans at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria.
"We didn't hold anything back," admitted USA head coach Mel Tjeerdsma. "We have only been together for three weeks. I think those extra couple of days, in the group games you played every other day, and for this game we actually had four days to prepare, which is almost like American football in the U.S. I think that really helped us.
"We are really proud of our players and the preparation they put in. We had some great game plans. Offensively we were very determined, but we didn't feel we put our best effort offensively in the Mexico game. Our offense was ready to play tonight."
USA began efficiently as quarterback Cody Hawkins moved the chains on an important third down completion, a Henry Harris run also earned a first down and they battled to the Canada one. From there Mount Union alumnus Nate Kmic broke the plane as he was tackled and USA opened a 7-0 lead with 7:42 to play in the first quarter.
"Our first drive is a critical part of the ball game, and I thought it was big that we scored," added Tjeerdsma.
Canada might have hit straight back but the usually safe hands of Scott Valberg dropped a long pass into US territory. Both teams exchanged punts before Canada pressed to tie the contest.
"On defense, we struggled to do the things we hoped to do," said Canada coach Larry Haylor. "We hoped to do a little better with possessing the ball. We thought USA had an exceptional defensive line, which caused us a lot of problems. They executed extremely well and full credit to them.
"They were an outstanding team tonight, and we just didn't play as well as we wanted to.
"The experience of it all was an extreme positive. To be the first Canadian team to compete in this tournament was exciting. Graz was amazing and our time in Vienna has been equally amazing."
Valberg held on to move the ball to the U.S. 35-yard line and quarterback Mike Faulds then went to him in the end zone. Corner DeWayne Lewis broke up the pass thinking he had an interception but was ruled out of bounds.
To open the second quarter Faulds targeted Shamawd Chambers and Matt Walter carried to the 10 and Faulds thought he had made it to the 1-yard mark. But the ball was frustratingly ruled to have been fumbled through the end zone for a touchback.
USA were merciless in reply. Matt Bassuener broke free up the middle to race clear 23 yards for a touchdown behind blocks from Nick Rossi and Mount Union alumnus Luke Summers to score for a 14-0 lead.
Daniel Caralano and Charles Bay hunted down Faulds in backfield for a loss, Bay came up with a sack and rather than risk USA coming back at them with the advantage strong field position Canada took a deliberate safety and opted to kick clear having given up two more points.
The plan backfired as Otterbein alumnus Ricardo Lenhart returned the free kick to the Canada 32 and a Harris run put the ball back into the red zone. Hawkins scrambled out to the left from seven yards for a commanding 23-0 lead with 1:51 to play.
Canada punted and the ruthless Americans scored again as Joe Sturdivant collected a pass lofted over the secondary by Hawkins for a 27-yard touchdown with 40 seconds on the clock.
|Team USA opened up a big lead in the second quarter
and cruised to the win against Canada.
IFAF photo
Canada looked assured of going into the locker room with a foothold as David Stevens took a 19-yard pass from Faulds in for a touchdown, but incredibly, Team USA scored again. A squib kick aimed at preventing the U.S. from gaining significant return yards hit the first player in its path and was recovered at the Canada 38. From there Hawkins dropped a pass into the end zone for Lenhart to score and bring up a breathtaking 37-7 halftime score.
USA safety Jordan Lake intercepted Faulds on the first drive of the second half to take possession at Canada's 13 and on the next play, Kmic increased the lead to 43-7 on the ground. Kmic was named tournament MVP afterwards.
"I am just honored," said Kmic. "I did not expect to earn it. I just went out and did my job. That's what all of our guys mind set was to do. But what a great honor it is a true blessing.
"This is a great honor, to represent all our countries, and for me to be able to wear United States of America on my chest, what a great experience and opportunity. This is ranked very high on my list of accomplishments in my football career."
The rivals traded punts then Lake came up with his second interception near midfield and three plays later on first and goal at the five, Harris took the handoff for another touchdown and USA led by 43 points.
Chambers, David Stevens and Alexandre Poirier moved the ball successfully downfield, but Michel-Pierre Pontibrand came up marginally short on a fourth down rush for Canada at the USA 7-yard mark.
Donnie Marshall, now under center for Canada, guided the persistent silver medalists downfield to take four shots at the end zone as time ran out on them scoring a second consolation touchdown.

A federal safety agency opened an investigation into possible suspension failures on 2006-2008 Hyundai Motor Co Sonata sedans. An estimated 393,000 cars are involved, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA said it received six complaints of the failure of rear suspension control arms due to corrosion.
Three of the reports ``allege failures at highway speeds,'' NHTSA said. The agency said a preliminary evaluation will ``assess the scope, frequency and potential safety consequences associated with the alleged defect.'' A Hyundai of America statement on Tuesday said: ``It is too early in the process to draw any conclusions about the allegations, and no safety-related defect has been identified.''

The automaker said it is ``cooperating fully'' with U.S. officials.

Getting sick is never fun, but it can be especially unpleasant when you're in another country. Faculty sponsors and the Office of International Programs strive to always look after students' health and well-being. However, some preparation on the student's part will help things go smoother in case they get sick or hurt.
Please consider the following items:
- Check to see if your insurance will cover them outside the U.S. If not, you will be required to purchase supplemental insurance. A quick Internet search will turn up many companies offereing a travel medical insurance plan.
- You will need to provide a front/back copy of that health insurance card for our office.
- Students need to carry a copy of their insurance card.
- It is very common for health facilities in other countries to request payment up front for services. They will have to file for reimbursement upon return to U.S. Make sure they save all receipts.
- Prescription medicine and over-the-counter medicine must be in original containers. Carry written prescriptions for all prescription medicines in case you need to go to a local pharmacy.
- Emergencies - students will be taken to local medical facilities if they need any kind of medical treatment. Parents will be contacted in emergencies
Staying healthy - Students should try to eat nutritiously, get enough rest, drink lots of water and wash hands often to help them stay healthy while traveling.
While many medicines for colds or stomach troubles can be purchased overseas, it is good to have a small first-aid kit with the following items.
- Bandaids, blister packs, Neosporin (blisters and small cuts can be common)
- Allergy medicine (different countries trigger different symptoms for some)
- Pain relief (lots of aches and pains from walking, etc.)
- Stomach medicine/diarrhea (it sometimes can be hard to adjust to new foods)
- Cold medicine (common among travelers since they get run down)
Talk to your doctor about carrying an antibiotic or a compound anti-nausea medicine for emergencies (your student can always call a doctor for instructions/directions if they have symptoms).

Innovation in Evaluation: Good webzine and IDEO initiative
IDEO partnered with Good magazine to cultivate and explore the relationship between innovation and evaluation. They are running a blog based opinion column: Innovation in Evaluation.
Some 'good' discussion going on there, in blogpost and the comments. For example, Sally Madsen wrote, 'How Might We Celebrate Learning through Evaluation?'. To quote:
Why do we evaluate? Sometimes it's for reflective validation: qualifying the success of a program after it is complete. Other times it's for active learning: seeing what is working well and what could be improved, and using this insight to change things for the better.
Evaluation for validation has an important role in comparing different approaches: Which approach has the most impact? Which gives the best value for money? How can this affect strategy moving forward? The downside of this type of evaluation is that it often doesn't produce conclusions until months or years after the actual project has ended—when the opportunity to change course or affect the project outcome is gone. Evaluation for active learning, on the other hand, allows you to take action as soon as a problem is identified. In design and innovation, evaluation for learning is a natural and essential part of the process.

If legal, marijuana would be a $40-billion-a-year industry in the U.S.
Though not nearly as popular as alcohol or tobacco, marijuana has become part of the nation's social fabric. Some 30 million Americans consume cannabis in the average year.
Decriminalized in 11 states and legal for medical purposes in 14, marijuana is no longer considered an enemy of the people in many quarters.
Click ahead to see how marijuana stacks up across the country.

Tequila Revolucion was established in 1994 by Juan Carlos Arav as a range of super-premium 100% Agave tequilas. The bottles are emblazoned with 2 pistols as a tribute to the Mexican revolution that began in 1910.
There are a full range of expressions available but I only received samples of the Silver and the Reposado. Up first for review is the Silver.
Tequila Revolucion Silver
On the nose there are strong aromas of agave and light floral notes, backed up by subtle hint of citrus. Upon tasting, agave is present throughout with hints of vanilla, a light floral touch, and a hint of pepper in the background. The silver retails for approximately $40/750ml.
Tequila Revolucion Reposado
The Reposado is aged for 10 months. On the nose there are still strong floral notes of agave. The agave is complemented by aromas of almonds, honey, vanilla, and oak. On the palate there is an oaky agave taste with a touch of herb and peppery spice. The Reposado retails for approximately $50/750ml.
And now some cocktails for your drinking pleasure:
The first drink is a wonderful take on the old fashioned offered at Mayheul in NYC. This is my reversed engineered version.
Oaxaca Old Fashioned #2
1.75 ozs Reposado Tequila (Tequila Revolucion Reposado)
.25 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey)
1 tsp Agave Nectar
3 Dashes of Peach Bitters
1 Dash of Orange Bitters
Shake all ingredients with the ice and strain into an ice filled low ball glass.
It is smooth, a touch fruity because of the bitters, and a hint of sweetness from the agave to make the cocktail extremely easy sipping. The Mezcal lingers in the background adding it's trademarked smokiness.
My inspiration for this next drink was the Kama Sutra created by Ronalldo Colli which appeared in an article on Sfgate.com.
Unbridled Fury
1.75 ozs Reposado Tequila
.25 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey)
.5 oz Green Chartreuse
Dash of creme de cacao
2 dashes of chocolate bitters
flamed orange peel for garnish
stir all ingredients with ice and garnish with flamed orange peel
Green Chartreuse and chocolate are a proven combination. For that reason I decided to take the original recipe and add touches of chocolate and replaced the flamed lemon peel with a flamed orange peel which I feel works better with the chartreuse and chocolate combo. The flamed orange peel is essential in opening and lightening this drink up.
The next drink is a take on the margarita created by me, in which the simple syrup is replaced with 2 liqueurs and a touch of egg white is added to create a silky smooth mouth feel. I named it the Slight Detour because it deviates from the classic margarita.
A Slight Detour
1.5 ozs Silver Tequila
.75 oz lime juice
.5 oz Domaine De Canton
1 bar-spoon of St. Germaine
.5 oz egg white
It's a smooth, florally and spicy cocktail. The egg white smooths over and harmonizes all the flavors.
The last drink was created by Robert Rowland that I came across in the book Left Coast Libations.
St. Magnus
8 mint leaves
2 slices of Meyer Lemon
1.5 ox Silver Tequila
.5 oz Ginger Juice
.5 oz Agave Nectar Syrup (1:1)
.25 oz Lemon Juice
.25 Aperol
Ginger Beer
Very gently muddle the mint and the Meyer Lemon slices in the bottom of a double rocks glass. Fill the glass with ice. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the ginger beer. Stir and top with ginger beer.
Agave nectar syrup is a simple mix of a 1 part Agave nectar with 1 part water. A complex, refreshing, and spicy short drink. It is essential to get a high quality ginger beer, such as that offered by Fever Tree.
For more drinks I've written about using tequila see my posts on the Mexican Squirrel, the El Diablo, and the Frostbite.

I'm Jackie and I lost my Husband and two Schnauzers, Miss Daisy and Perry last year. I decided to go to the rescue and find a Schnauzer that I would take home for company, but in fact I found two. Diego was sleeping on top of a old crate and Sandi was sleeping in inside on a old rag. They were Brother and Sister. Right then I told my Son that instead of one I would have to take the two of them and not seperate them. They are the love of my life and so good. I have known Karen and Paul for many years and in fact they visited me and my husband in California. I hope I am doing this right, I'm 77 trying to keep up with all you young ladies, lol. Everyne take care.

2006 Grant - Abraham
The Significance of APP Dimerization in Alzheimer's Disease
Carmela R. Abraham, Ph.D.
Boston University
Boston, Massachusetts
2006 Investigator-Initiated Research Grant
Accumulation of a small protein fragment called beta-amyloid is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Beta-amyloid is culled from a larger protein called the amyloid precursor protein (APP). With the exception of a small percentage of people with inherited forms of the disease, scientists are not sure what drives the accumulation of beta-amyloid. In fact, little is known about the function and properties of APP itself. This gap in knowledge is a major impediment to understanding the production of beta-amyloid.
Carmela Abraham, Ph.D., and colleagues plan to study the properties and physiological function of APP. One of their major aims is to determine what form APP assumes in neurons. There are indications, for example, that the proteins form pairs, or dimers, either with themselves or with other proteins. The research team plans to study these protein-protein interactions.
Abraham has devised a technique that will enable her to visualize when APP has formed a dimer. The technique relies on a yellow fluorescent protein, or YFP. If YFP is cut in half, it loses its fluorescence, but if the two halves are brought back together, fluorescence is restored. By attaching one half of YFP to APP and the other to a different molecule of APP or an entirely different protein, Abraham will be able to determine if APP dimerizes with itself or other proteins-yellow fluorescence will indicate formation of a dimer.
There are indications that beta-amyloid production depends on dimerization of APP. Abraham will use the fluorescence technique to search for small molecules that inhibit APP dimerization and then test those same molecules to see if they prevent formation of beta-amyloid. The findings could lead to new developments in disease-modifying treatments.

LW Dan Cleary did not report to the first day of Flyers' camp Thursday and decided to return to Detroit, meaning several rookies are now battling for a roster spot, incluidng Tye McGinn, Scott Laughton and Michael Raffl.
"I'm just keeping the same mindset I had even when he was supposed to be here," said McGin after leaving the ice at the Wells Fargo Center. "I just have to go out in camp and prove myself and show I can earn a spot on this team."
McGinn, 23, played in 18 games for the Flyers last season _ he was used on virtually every line _ and he managed five points (three goals). He suffered a broken right orbital bone in a fight with Toronto's Mike Brown on Feb. 25, underwent surgery and returned to play just two more games.
"It healed up 100 percent and I'm ready to get going," he said, calling last year's stint with the Flyers a "confidence builder."
In addition to the young hopefuls, Max Talbot is a possibility as the third-line left winger.
Cleary had agreed to a tryout contract with the Flyers, but had second thoughts.
The Detroit Free Press reported he was signing a one-year, $1.75 million deal after turning down a three-year $8.25 million offer from the Flyers.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, however, said the Flyers never had that kind of offer on the table for the 34-year-old third-line winger.
Holmgren said he held no grudges toward Cleary.
"Good for him," he said. "He obviously had eight years there and was hoping to continue the ride with them."
Cleary, an unrestricted free agent, had all summer to get a deal done with Detroit. When that didn't happen, he agreed to a tryout contract with the Flyers.
Only he decided not to report to camp, saying he felt too attached to leave Detroit.
"I'm sorry how it all played out. Philly is a great organization," he told reporters. " ... My heart was here."
Detroit had originally offered him a three-year deal for about $6 million, a source said.
Earlier in the week, Holmgren said there was not a preconceived deal and that Cleary had to make the team during camp.
Cleary, a grinder who is adept at winning board battles, had nine goals for Detroit last season. He was one of the Red Wings' top players during the playoffs.
As of late Wednesday, the Flyers had not heard from Cleary and still expected him to be at camp at the Wells Fargo Center.
Cleary will be at the WFC on Jan. 28. With Detroit.
Breakaways.Claude Giroux, coming off finger surgery, felt better than expected and was able to pass the puck gingerly but not shoot it.....Chris Pronger watched the camp sessions and said he still has concussion symptoms....Defensemen Mark Alt (concussion) and Marc-Andre Bourdon (concussion symptoms) were not on the ice.....Defenseman Tyler Hoestetter, the pride of Lititz, is among the 62 players in camp. He played for the Trenton Titans last season and had 16 points in 38 games......Inexplicably, the Flyers players do not have numbers on their jerseys, making it difficult for fans to know who is on the ice.

Corned beef hash skillet-fried with savoy cabbage, Irish swiss cheese and bacon. This is one of those times when a few ingredients come together to make something surprisingly delicious.
I'm not a fan of the traditional corned beef and cabbage. What I am a fan of is corned beef hash. The kind that comes from a can. Even though I don't eat it very often I do know this. . .It rocks. {Maybe I'm in the minority? Do you like it?}
I'm not about to cook corned beef just so I can make hash. When I get a hankering for it I turn to the stuff I grew up on.
Paula Deen is the genius behind the idea. The minute I set eyes on her version I knew I had to make it in one form or another. Where Paula uses plain corned beef I use corned beef hash which also has little pieces of potato mixed in.
If corned beef and cabbage together is good stuff then adding potatoes can only make it better.
There's also Irish swiss cheese (maybe that makes up for the can?) to elevate it and a little bit of crispy bacon crumbled over top. Cabbage loves bacon and so do I.
If you're looking for an easy recipe to celebrate St. Patrick's day than I highly recommend this one skillet meal.
Corned beef hash skillet-fried with savoy cabbage, Irish swiss cheese and bacon.
- Add the corned beef to a cast iron or non-stick skillet and press it down evenly in the pan. Cook on medium heat until crispy on the bottom, then scrap it up with a sharp metal spatula and turn it over, press down and let it cook until crispy again. Repeat up to 2 more times then remove the hash to a small bowl.
- In the same pan cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper-lined plate to drain.
- To the same pan over medium heat add the cabbage along with 1/4 cup water. Put a lid on the pan and cook until cabbage is tender about 10 minutes, check every few minutes and stir, if pan dries up add a little bit more water.
- After 10 minutes remove the lid and let any excess water cook off, stirring the cabbage often. Turn heat down to low.
- Add the hash back to the pan and stir it into the cabbage. Let cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the cheese over top and put the lid back on until it melts or stick it under the broiler for a minute. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top to serve.

Another year of trying to understand the system
Six years have passed since "You can't beat a system you can't understand" began appearing in the Jamestown Press. This is the 313th column.
My heartfelt thanks goes to the many faithful readers who have taken the time to write kind letters filled with words of support. For those, I am most appreciative.
Mid-January 2010 to the same time in 2011 appeared to be an interesting year. However, as predicted, nothing really changed much during the first year of the second decade in the 21st century.
The residents of Planet Earth did not fail to provide headlines and stories that ranged from heart wrenchingly sad to downright hilarious.
We pointed out a few of the less flattering human behavioral patterns that might have caused the space guys pause, had they been watching. And watch they apparently did. Years 2010 to 2011 brought the space guys to the media forefront with frequency.
We addressed those occasions when witnesses by the hundreds and sometimes thousands saw flying objects that defied explanation. If anyone could explain them, he or she did not step forward.
We also took more than a casual look at the attitude of heads of state when responding to inquiries about our – we assume – extraterrestrial visitors. I believe the consensus was that until we approach the White House walking hand in hand with ET, we should not expect comment from our president or any other of the world's leaders.
Our remarkable system provided enough confusion to keep us in a state of delirium without worrying about what's going on beyond the reaches of our atmosphere.
We managed to get a few chuckles out of the human-penchant for-loving scandal, and for admiring the lives of those who are famous for being famous. We also laughed at our forgiving attitude toward the wealthy, no matter how stupidly they behaved.
Writers, journalists and photographers around the globe should probably thank Charlie Sheen for continuing to party hardy, Lindsay Lohan – that's enough ink about her, Mel Gibson for his infamous rants, Tiger Woods for his indiscretions, and Miley Cyrus for growing up.
Oops! I don't want to risk offending anyone, so I suppose I should include Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and the talentless Kardashian sisters in that group. Although, Paris and Britney did not do anything too imaginative that warranted paparazzi favor.
Except for her yearly drug bust, Paris was rather well behaved. And Britney is attempting to make a comeback as a recording artist, so she's been sequestered in studios where her sporadic tantrums cannot be monitored.
However, when I stop to think about it, Paris did manage to be banned from Las Vegas. Can you believe that? Being banned from Sin City takes talent. I cannot imagine what one would have to do to be banned from a municipality known for catering to the rich and infamous.
So – I stand corrected. Paris Hilton, you are without doubt a member in good standing of the media darlings who deserve to be in the tabloids.
I should not disrespect these people. Their daily activities provided the fodder that kept many media types and would-be media types employed.
Publishers managed to hire enough gossip columnists to produce adequate front-page news to appease the inquiring minds that want to know. Although what they want to know remains somewhat of a mystery.
I can only guess that they want to know about everybody else's misery so they don't have to pay attention to their own sorry lives. As sad as it may be, as long as people want to read trash, publishers will demand that reporters write it.
We managed to concentrate on a few offbeat subjects that needed addressing, but they did not warrant media attention for undisclosed reasons.
We discussed electronic toys, the new symbols of power, and how politicians like to talk about political reform, but they never change the business of politics.
We even touched on the benefi ts of war and how war keeps so many people employed. Unemployment will have a completely new meaning when they discharge our troops after bringing them home.
The truth is, we can't afford to be at peace. War is big business. Ask those who work for any defense contractor. They don't know we're in a recession.
These are just a few reasons why I'll continue to have much to write about as we continue to live in a system we can't understand.

First Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights Passes
"Great organizing campaigns are like great love affairs. You begin to see life through a different lens. You change in unexpected ways. You lose sleep, but you also feel boundless energy. You develop new relationships and new interests. Your skin becomes more open to the world around you. Life feels different, and it's almost like you've been reborn. And, most importantly, you begin to feel things that you previously couldn't have even imagined are possible. Like great love affairs, great campaigns provide us with an opportunity for transformation. They connect us to our deeper purpose and to the commonalities we share, even in the face of tremendous differences. They highlight our interdependence and they help us to see the potential that our relationships have to create real change in our lives and in the world around us."
Ai-jen Poo, for Domestic Workers United.
From Organizing with Love: Lessons from the New York Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Campaign
Special Occasion
Rarely do you hear an activist comparing a great campaign to a great love affair. But that's the exact metaphor Ai-jen Poo used to describe the fantastically successful campaign to give basic labor rights to domestic workers in New York City.
The Domestic Workers United gave a workshop about this campaign on the second day of the US Social Forum (USSF). In fact, it was back at the 2007 USSF in Atlanta where the Domestic Workers United, along with other organizations, came together and formed the National Domestic Workers Alliance. "The social forum is a special occasion for us," says Poo.
I was at their event at the 2007 USSF and was so impressed by their tenacity and vision. So it's amazing and inspiring to come back to the social forum three years later and hear about their victory in New York State.
"Today is an exciting day for domestic workers around the country," said Poo.
For too long, domestic workers—nannies, house cleaners, companions for elderly—have been denied basic labor rights. Domestic workers have been explicitly excluded from U.S. labor protections. And it's not by chance. When Congress debated legislation during the New Deal Era, Southern lawmakers sought to exempt domestic workers (and farm workers) from federal labor laws.
This discrimination, Poo points out, is rooted in racial and gender oppressions. So this new legislation means so much. "It's about reparations," she says. "It's about justice."
And it's about recognizing that caring for people is real work that requires skills.
What's in the new bill?
Two different versions have been passed by the two houses of the New York state government. The Senate version is more expansive and would grant guarantees such as paid holidays, sick days, overtime pay, and the right to collective bargaining. Right now, domestic workers are not even entitled to minimum wage.
"What the average worker takes for granted, that's what we've been denied," says Patricia Francois, who worked as a nanny in New York for twelve years before losing her job a year and a half ago.
New York is just the beginning. There are campaigns under way in fourteen cities.
Claudia Reyes from Mujeres Unidas y Activas talked about the fight for labor rights in California. In 2006, AB 2536, which gave household workers the right to overtime and fined employers who failed to pay their employees, passed both houses in California. But Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed it.
Reyes says that what happens in New York will help domestic workers in California in 2011 and 2012. It's historic legislation. And it proves that it's possible.
Poo says that it's important to not let the political climate curb your vision. If it's inspirational, people will want to participate.
One thread of discussion that came up again and again as domestic workers and organizers told their stories during the panel was the idea that labor protections had seemed impossible for them. But the campaign changed all of that.
"The experience of the campaign to pass the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in New York has already provided an opening for the transformation of the relations within the domestic work industry and a vision for how we can transform all of our relations throughout our nation and beyond," writes Poo in a paper about the campaign. "Like a great love affair, it has helped us grow."

Matt Badiali Says, Buy Master Limited Partnerships Now
Here's how Master Limited Partnerships can earn you huge dividends…#MasterLimitedPartnerships #MLPs #oil #dividends #stocks #banyanhill #investing #stockmarket #income $AMJ $AMLP $MLPIhttps://t.co/dj1cR4ptv8
— Matt Badiali (@Matt_B_Guru) December 1, 2017
Although the price of oil has risen 38% since June 2017, the price of master limited partnerships still does not reflect this. Therefore, the prices of these high-dividend securities are low, so now is the time to buy and lock in receipt of high, mandatory dividend income.
Master limited partnerships are publicly traded like corporations, but they are structured as partnerships. The law requires to pay out at least 90% of income to the partners or owners. Typically, MLPs own energy infrastructure such as oil and natural gas pipelines, refineries and storage facilities. Their income generally depend more on the demand for energy than on the price of oil and natural gas. That's because they function mainly as intermediaries between the original extraction from the ground and consumption by the end consumer. They in effect exact a toll on every barrel of oil and natural gas that passes through their equipment. That's regardless of the final price the end user pays. Check more on The Third-Most Important Base Metal Is About to Rally, click here:http://retirementmillionairedaily.com/the-third-most-important-base-metal-is-about-to-rally/
Despite that, however, the market price of master limited parternships generally tracks the price of energy even though their performance is not dependent on that, as is the profits of oil and gas companies that find new sources and sell it at the gas pumps. When the market price of oil is low, investors don't value MLPs as highly. As of the end of 2017, the price of oil is the highest it's been in two years, but the index of MLPs is at its lowest point in those same two years. That makes master limited partnerships a terrific contrarian or value play right now.
Badiali suggests buying the JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (NYSE: AMJ), the UBS ETRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETF (NYSE: MLPI) or the Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE: AMLP). They pay yields between 7.6% and 8.7%. Follow Matt Badiali on Twitter.
