Washington Capitals Game 23 Recap: Caps let opportunity on Island slip away in embarrassing performance

The Washington Capitals had a chance against the New York Islanders in a Saturday afternoon matchup to finally erase the terrible start to the 2013 season and pull their record to an even .500. Riding a three-game win streak and having won eight of their past 11 games, the Caps looked like they might have turned a proverbial corner in their season the past week.

Instead, they reinforced all the bad feelings that welled up in that terrible first 10-game stretch, playing shoddy defense, unable to generate any semblance of offense, taking too many penalties and ultimately, failing to compete with the young and speedy Islanders, dispiritedly falling 5-2 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which has been something of a house of horrors for the Capitals franchise.

Washington was outshot by the Islanders 45-24. That’s pretty much all need be said about this one.

Particularly disappointing was the play of two of their stars: captain Alex Ovechkin, who was minus-two and contributed directly to two Islanders’ goals with turnovers; and Mike Ribeiro, who compounded a third period high-sticking call with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in a tie game. The Islanders scored on that power play, and the next on a double minor high-stick against Jeff Schultz, and later short-handed when Ovechkin fumbled a routine puck at the blue line.

The teams skated a mostly sleepy first period, befitting of the 1:00 pm start. The Islanders struck midway through the frame. John Carlson tried to pinch in from the point to hold the offensive zone, but the puck was chipped past him, and with all three forwards below him, the only man back was Karl Alzner, who was turned on the play and had to skate forward to his defensive zone, never a place a defenseman wants to be.

Frans Nielsen was easily able to beat Alzner into a position to make a good pass, which he did to a streaking Josh Bailey. All Bailey had to do was tip the puck past Philipp Grubauer (40 saves), making his first NHL start, to give the Isles a 1-0 lead.

The Caps got that one back early in the second, as they came out of the gate with much more fire than the first stanza. A good possession by the Joel Ward and Mattieu Perreault resulted in a Perreault’s wrist shot bouncing off bodies — and Travis Harmonic’s skate — eluding Evgeny Nabokov (22 saves) to knot things up.

On his next shift, Perreault beat Nabokov again, flinging a wrist shot from the slot past his catching glove, but the puck rang off the left post and ricocheted harmlessly away from the crease. That would be the extent of the Caps offensive pressure in the period, though.

The Islanders regained the lead at 10:03 with another even-strength goal. Alex Ovechkin tried to stick-handle through the neutral zone but was bumped off the puck. The Islanders recovered the loose biscuit and headed back with speed, catching the Caps flat-footed. Matt Martin fed Casey Cizikas on the resulting two-on-one and Cizikas beat Grubauer blocker-side on a shot Grubauer would probably say he’d like to have back.

Washington simply collapsed in the third period.

Play was sloppy and disappointing, but the Caps found a little magic to tie the game at 7:09 with a pretty tic-tac-toe from Alzner to Eric Fehr to Nick Backstrom, who rifled a shot from the high slot to beat Nabakov glove-side for his third goal of the season. From there, things went downhill fast for the Caps.

A minute and a half later, Ribeiro was nicked for a high-sticking infraction and complained too loudly to the officials, garnering the feisty center with an additional two minutes — his third such penalty of the season. John Tavares scored with 30 seconds remaining in the second penalty, but the referees didn’t see the puck go in originally, so play was allowed to continue for several minutes until a stoppage. After review, Tavares was awarded the goal and time was put back on the clock.

Just 22 second later, Jeff Schultz got tied up on a face off and brought his stick high for a double minor. Tavares needed just eight seconds to beat Grubauer for his second of the game (15,16).

Insult to injury came with 3:01 left in the game. Colin MacDonald was called for a hook, giving the Caps a chance to make it a one-goal game, but Ovechkin was sloppy with the puck at the point, which sent Frans Nielsen in alone on Grubauer and the Danish winger beat him cleanly for the three-goal lead — and margin of victory.

The Capitals have no time to dwell on the poor performance, however, as they host the New York Rangers Sunday at 12:30 pm at Verizon Center — on national television. It’s a quick turn-around and test of resolve for these Washington Capitals, whose time to get back into the playoff picture is very quickly running out — if it hasn’t already.

GAME NOTES: John Erskine left the game after logging just 1:18 of ice time. The team announced he sustained an “upper body injury”. After the game, head coach Adam Oates described Erskine as “day-to-day”, but aren’t we all.

Former chancellor to remain active at Ole Miss

JACKSON – Robert Khayat stepped down at the end of June as the chancellor of the University of Mississippi, but he will remain part of campus life.
On Thursday, the 12-member Board of Trustees of state Institutions of Higher Learning awarded Khayat the title of chancellor emeritus and approved a request from new Chancellor Dan Jones to make Khayat a “distinguished professor and consultant in university advancement.”
“He has been a real champion for the university and for the state of Mississippi,” said Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds. “I think this gives us an opportunity use him as a resource. I think he will be invaluable not only to the university, but to the entire system.”
Khayat, 71, is a Moss Point native who earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Ole Miss. After a stint as a professional football player, he served as a law school professor and in other administrative posts at Ole Miss.
He was named chancellor in 1995 and is generally credited for leading the university in a period of progress that culminated with the hosting of the first presidential debate in 2008.
He also made a mark as a fundraiser, bringing a record amount of private resources to the school.
Jones indicated that Khayat will continue to play that role for the university.
“People tell me he’s a pretty good fundraiser,” quipped Jones, who served as head of the University Medical Center before being tabbed by the College Board to replace Khayat. “I also hear he’s a pretty good teacher.
“We would like him to be involved in both of these activities. I’m certain students in our leadership classes would love to hear about what he has learned during his 40-plus years with this amazing university.”
Khayat said he looks forward to his new duties, which he said will be defined in the coming weeks.
While Khayat said he assumed he would do some work in development – “making contact with perspective donors” – he added he would like to teach.
“The Lott Institute (at Ole Miss) has a leadership program,” he said. “I feel like the work I have done as chancellor would give me some experience that might be worthwhile (for students) and it would be a fun thing to do.”
Also on Thursday, the College Board officially approved the suggestion of Bounds that the budget request to the Legislature for the system be reduced $217.7 million to $844.6 million for the coming year.
Bounds suggested reducing the request because of a slowdown in tax collections during the current tough economic times.

UPDATE: Church bus crash kills 1 in Miss.; 23 injured

MERIDIAN — John Anderson of Shreveport, La., said he’s still in shock, but he’s holding it together after tragedy unfolded instantly right before his eyes while traveling with church members near Meridian.

“All our children were on that bus,” said Anderson, a First Baptist Church of Shreveport member who was on the bus that crashed aout 10 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 20/59 in east Mississippi, killing one person and injuring 23 others.

The church group was heading to a youth camp in Macon, Ga.

“One of the rear tires blew out and the bus started fish tailing and went out of control and flipped over three times,” Anderson told WTOK-TV in Meridian.

Most of those aboard were children, including Anderson’s daughter who was a camp counselor who’s pregnant but was not hurt.

“The church bus had a blow out that caused it to veer to the left and back to the right off the road on the south side of the highway, overturned at rest,” said Sgt. Herman Bouldin with the Mississippi Highway Patrol.

The bus rolled three times, Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler III said. He said at least two passengers were trapped underneath the bus. A group of National Guard soldiers was on the highway at the time and helped extricate the injured.

“The National Guardsmen actually picked the bus up off the two people and got them out,” Cobler said.

An 18-year-old male was pronounced dead at Jeff Anderson Hospital, Cobler said. His name was not released.

Three people were airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Their conditions were not known Monday.

“It’s tough on all of us because we know these kids and they are all like family,” Anderson said.

Cobler said injuries ranged from severe pelvic, back and chest injuries to scrapes and scratches.

An official at Regency Hospital of Meridian said six people were taken there and another official at Rush Foundation Hospital said 13 people were being treated there.

Anderson said many of those injured were released from hospital late Sunday and were waiting for transportation back to Shreveport.

Anderson said local churches have helped.

“It’s just been a remarkable show of Christian love and we couldn’t be more thankful,” Anderson said.

The Shreveport congregation learned of the accident shortly before Sunday morning worship and used the occasion to rally together in prayer.

“Our congregation is leaning on our faith and confidence in God,” First Baptist senior pastor Greg Hunt said in statement placed on the church’s Web site.

Snead trying to make Bucs as undrafted free agent

By Fred Goodall/The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — Former Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead insists he has no regrets about passing up his final season of college eligibility, only to watch the NFL draft come and go without hearing his name called.

Disappointed but undeterred, the one-time top prospect — whose stock dropped during an inconsistent junior year — signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is participated a rookie minicamp this weekend.

“I didn’t really know what to expect. I certainly didn’t have my hopes up too high or anything like that. I knew that anything could happen, so I was ready for anything,” he said. “It didn’t go exactly the way I had hoped, but I’m here now. I’m here to make the best of it.”

Snead began his college career at Texas before transferring to Ole Miss. He appeared well on his way to being a potential high pick after throwing for 2,762 yards and 26 touchdowns in his first season with the Rebels two years ago.

He threw for 2,632 yards and 20 TDs in 2009, leading Ole Miss to nine wins and moving into second place behind Eli Manning on the career touchdown list with 46. But he also tossed 20 interceptions after finishing with 13 the previous season.

The decision to turn pro early suprised some scouts, who felt he regressed as a junior and should stay in school. The 22-year-old scoffed at speculation that one of the reasons he left the Rebels was he wasn’t guaranteed to retain his starting job.

“I graduated in December with my marketing degree. That was a huge thing for me, and really I felt like it was my time to go,” said Snead, who played behind Colt McCoy at Texas in 2006.

“A bunch of people say it was because of competition, and I’ll tell you right now, that’s ridiculous,” he said. “I’ve never been afraid to compete. I wouldn’t have come out if I was afraid to compete because I know that the next level is all about competing. Anybody that said I was afraid to compete doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”

Snead and two other undrafted quarterbacks — South Florida’s Matt Grothe and Texas Southern’s Bobby Reid — hope to impress the Bucs as they were given crash courses on offense.

So far, coach Raheem Morris likes what he’s seen of Snead.

“He’s done a good job of going out there being able to run the offense,” Morris said, adding he’ll likely take four quarterbacks into training camp. Second-year pro Josh Freeman is Tampa Bay’s starter, backed up by Josh Johnson and Rudy Carpenter.

“There’s an opportunity for everybody in this camp,” Morris said. “We wouldn’t have brought anybody in who doesn’t have a good opportunity.”

Grothe, the Big East career offense leader who missed most of his senior season after knee surgery, is one of 49 tryouts hoping minicamp leads to a college free agent deal.

“I was very impressed. Listen to him get into a huddle, you understand why he was in control of his team, why he was a guy over there at South Florida who ran the show,” Morris said. “You’re talking about a guy who has a lot of wins under his belt, a lot of yards.”

Getting back on the field this weekend has been an emotional experience for Grothe, who threw for 8,669 yards and 52 touchdowns in his career.

At one point, he broke down speaking about how much he’s missed football and what the games means to him.

“It’s just something I love to do. The last eight months have been a big struggle for me, but I’m trying to come back strong,” Grothe said. “A lot of kids dream to be in these shoes, so I’m just going to not take it for granted and do what I can to try to stick around.”

Gov. Perry stay out of my daughter’s vagina: Pasolinian thoughts on the abortion debate

sweetest daughter

Above: Georgia P and I let mommy sleep in these days. Our new baby will be here any day now and so mommy needs all the rest she can get. Part of our morning fun (after breakfast) is self-portraits. Georgia P has no idea that a battle over women’s rights is being played out just 10 minutes down the street from our house in Austin, Texas.

Some will remember that twentieth-century Italian critical theorist and leftist Pier Paolo Pasolini took a stand against abortion. He saw abortion as one of the ugliest corollaries of the sexual revolution of the 1960s (when he was highly active as an essayist, poet, and filmmaker). I believe that he was right. But I also believe that a rational application of abortion does greater good for our society than its unbridled restriction.

This morning on the Twitter and the Facebook, I wrote, “Rick Perry, stay out of my daughter’s vagina.”

To that, my aunt Dianne — Tracie P’s biological aunt, whom I love because of our relation and because of the fact that she’s a really fun and warm lady — commented as follows:

How about those daughters that are murdered before even being given a chance at life? They are not banning abortion just not after 20 weeks. Why the outrage?

Here’s what I wrote back:

Dianne, like you, I abhor the very thought of abortion and I believe that my generation’s attitudes about it are shaped and misinformed by the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

But the issues at hand in Texas are much more nuanced and can’t be defined in the black and white terms that the current regime paints them.

The core issue for me is the following.

We need to teach the next generation not to abuse abortion as a means of contraception (and we need to recognize how our generation has abused it) and we need to protect women’s right to use abortion as an option to protect their health.

It’s not that abortion is wrong (however abhorrent it is). It’s that the abuse of abortion is wrong.

It is my steadfast belief that a rational application of abortion makes more sense and does greater good for our community.

The Perry regime’s approach is uninformed and misguided. It has its roots in a desire to ignore the way that society and medicine have evolved over the course of the current and last American generations.

Thanks for listening.

2 thoughts on “Gov. Perry stay out of my daughter’s vagina: Pasolinian thoughts on the abortion debate

  1. We’ve been watching and reading about what has been going on in Austin at a distance. Over the past week we’ve developed an incredible respect for Wendy Davis and what she’s doing. One of the most memorable lectures we had in medical school was from one of the older OB/GYN doctors talking about what the GYN ward was like before and after Roe v. Wade. Before the decision, women with means were still able to get safe care but it was done discretely. Women without means had to resort to horrible care, usually not performed by qualified medical professionals, and often ended up in the hospital with lots of complications. I know in Nevada, we’re already having issues with people resorting to care from non-licensed “doctors.” Making abortion illegal would just compound this issue.

    Many people have commented on this, but it is infuriating when Perry et al. scream about the government staying out of people/businesses way on 99% of the issues. Yet they can justify the government directly getting involved in what should be a private discussion between a doctor and a woman.

  2. Andy, someday I’ll tell Georgia P about this incredible week. Supreme court decision about voting rights (which affect us directly in Texas), Wendy Davis and the Texas legislature… and all the while we’re about to have another baby and Georgia P a sister!

    I believe that Perry et alia’s contradictory attitudes are based more in a will to preserve a disappearing way of life than in rational thought. If anything, the current regime’s approach is that of co-opting issues that affect families — prayer, abortion, immigration, social services, voting rights etc. — to serve its own agenda of preserving the status quo and the sanctity of the military-industrial complex (also based in Texas btw).

    I don’t know Perry or his cronies but from what I do know about him, I imagine that his personal attitudes about abortion diverge from his public ones. For the current regime, all of these issues are just tools to instill fear in the voting public.

    Very glad that you shared your professional insights here as a doctor and very glad that you pointed out the inherent contradiction in Perry’s would-be rationale.

    Hope it’s not too hot up in yall’s neck of the woods!

Basic No

LOGMNR_MAX_PERSISTENT_SESSIONS enables you to specify the maximum number of persistent LogMiner mining sessions (which are LogMiner sessions that are backed up on disk) that are concurrently active when all sessions are mining redo logs generated by standalone instances. This pre-allocates 2*LOGMNR_MAX_PERSISTENT_SESSIONS MB of contiguous memory in the SGA for use by LogMiner.

LogMiner requires 2 MB of contiguous memory for mining the redo log stream generated by a non-cluster database instance. To mine redo logs generated by an n-instance cluster database system, 2 MB of contiguous memory is required for each redo thread (or, a total of 2*n). Because persistent LogMiner sessions stage all data in the SGA, read buffers must be allocated in the SGA. The required contiguous memory is allocated at instance startup.

LOGMNR_MAX_PERSISTENT_SESSIONS is normalized for redo logs generated by non-cluster database instances. If you wish to mine a redo log stream generated by a 3-node cluster database instance, you should set this parameter to 3 (because one persistent session mining redo log generated in a 3-node cluster database instance is equivalent to 3 persistent sessions, each with mining redo logs generated by a non-cluster database instance). The memory remains exclusively allocated for LogMiner persistent sessions. This parameter does not affect transient LogMiner sessions that are not backed up on disk and are staged entirely in the Process Global Area (PGA).

Defining Vendors

Use the following procedure to set up profiles for the third-party vendors who receive the distribution list of contacts. If your marketing department is the list recipient, set up a vendor profile using the marketing department contact as the vendor.

To define vendors and assign list distribution methods

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Marketing screen, then the Vendors view.
  2. In the Vendors list, create a new record.
  3. Complete the fields for the vendor definition, using the following table as a guide, and save the record.

    NOTE:  If one vendor can handle multiple list formats, such as a direct mail format and a telWeb Marketing format, create separate vendor profiles for each type. For example, the profiles can be named Ace Fulfillment: Direct Mail, and Ace Fulfillment: TelWeb Marketing.

    Contact Name

    Select the contact name, if it exists. If the contact does not appear in the list, add the relevant information using the All Contacts list.

    By default, the server looks for the email address in the EMAIL_ADDR column of the S_CONTACT table. If you store the email address in a different column, see Siebel CTI Administration Guide to configure the Recipient Email Address field.

    Distribution Method

    Choose the method that describes how the distribution list is sent to the vendor.

    Distribution Profile

    Choose from the list of predefined distribution profiles. Distribution Profiles are defined using the Administration - Communications screen, then the Communications Drivers and Profiles view.

    Email Address

    The email address for the vendor is populated if it was defined for the selected vendor contact. You cannot add the email address in this view.

    If you plan to send a generated list to the vendor using email, you must add the email address for the contact in the All Contacts or My Contacts view.

In Chapter 15, Stability, we learned about the DTrace features for determining the stability attributes of D programs that you create. Once you have created a D program with the appropriate stability attributes, you may also wish to bind this program to a particular version of the D programming interface. The D interface version is a label applied to a particular set of types, variables, functions, constants, and translators made available to you by the D compiler. If you specify a binding to a specific version of the D programming interface, you ensure that you can recompile your program on future versions of DTrace without encountering conflicts between program identifiers that you define and identifiers defined in future versions of the D programming interface. You should establish version bindings for any D programs that you wish to install as persistent scripts (see Chapter 9, Scripting) or use in layered tools.

DTrace versioning on Oracle Linux is not currently interoperable with DTrace versioning on other operating system platforms.

Well considering the economy is still in the toilet and I only get to play poker about 2-4 hours a night, this year has been pretty solid for me. It can be a bit frustrating and maybe a bit of jealousy to see many of the top online poker pros racking up $100,000's+ each year in wins and I'm stuck grinding out smaller late night tourneys for a few thousand dollars at a time.

As of so far I have around $300,000 in total prize winnings (not counting costs) with an avg. finish of 30/100 for non-turbo mtt's, cashing roughly 20%, finishing in the top 2%: 4% of the time, and in the top 6%: 12% of the time, and last year (2010) had 37 final tables out of about 500 multi table tournaments. Most of these numbers would rival some of the best players out there except unfortunately I probably play about 3-10% of the tournaments of those guys who play full-time. My 30/100 avg finish has to beat almost anyone out there, however, my real goal is get better at being more aggressive at the right times and have more deeper finishes and final tables. Looking at the #1 online multi-table tournament player of the year "Moment_mori" who racked up $3 million in total winnings and about $730K as profit, avg finish 39/100, cashed on avg about 15%, however, he played over 14,000 tournament last year alone vs. my menial 500 last year in comparison. So if you were able to multiply my results by at least 10-20X, I would have something to hang my hat on. While I doubt I'll ever play 10,000 multi's a year, but even 5X more, 2500 would produce some pretty impressive numbers.

I also had a pretty solid year on most of my sng's and even a little bit of cash games. From looking at some of the huge money still being made in cash games, I think I will continue to dabble until I get screwed badly and lose my interest. Overall I really enjoy the big multi-table tournaments and feel I could really make a name for myself eventually if I can put in enough time. That also seems to be the only way most online players get recognized and sponsored unless you are famous for something else or score a couple huge live wins.

So far this year has been a tease, going in deep in the Live New Years Oceans11 tourney, then deep in many online tourneys only to get screwed right before the money or final table or as soon as I get to the final table. Literally, I just got KO'd 31/269 before the money on a suckout in the $20 rebuy. I then finished 8th place on the $75 Tilt KO tourney with AQs vs. AQs same hand allin preflop my opp hit a flush - out 8th/403 - $575, and now I'm also currently in with 15 left out of 210 in $30 rebuy. Let's see if this goes any better.......Well I made final table and got sucked into a min raise as BB with 56s as the remaining smaller stack on table and flopped Q86 with 1 club and decided to checkraise allin because I had enough to get a fold out of him if he didn't have a pair of Q's or better or a flush draw. Unfortunately he had both lol. Q10s and hit flush on river. Out 6th/210 - $680. Not bad considering I was grinding into the money as a shorter stack.

At least the finishes are continuing to get better by the week, maybe a couple top 3 finishes by the end of the month.

» Something I actually want to read. Don’t Eat Off The Sidewalk!

Something I actually want to read.

I haven’t gone to the library in awhile because I ran out of how-to books to look at, but I think i’m going to have to go check out Skinny Bitch*.  Excerpt:

Aspartame (an ingredient commonly found in diet sodas and other sugar-free foods) has been blamed for a slew of scary maladies, like arthritis, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. When methyl alcohol, a component of aspartame, enters your body, it turns into formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is toxic and carcinogenic (cancer-causing). Laboratory scientists use formaldehyde as a disinfectant or preservative. They don’t fucking drink it. Perhaps you have a lumpy ass because you are preserving your fat cells with diet soda.

That’s pretty awesome.  In something similar, this is a (fairly) recent blog post from Natalie Dee that I really liked.

Hey, guys. We need to talk.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think I need to set the record straight about something.

Vitamin Water is not water. When you add those little pouches of lemonaid flavor or mango passion fruit breeze or watermelon tsunami to your bottled water, that’s not water, either. You just made kool aid.

I actually saw in some magazine recently, some ladies’ magazine (hi, magazines! I love you!) where they were comparing two separate meal/snack choices. Their equation basically stated, you can have 20 oz of Vitamin Water, or 20 oz of regular water, plus a piece of watermelon and some candy.

When you read the new copy on the back of a case of diet soda, and it says something that amounts to HEY, GUYS, DRINK THIS STUFF INSTEAD OF WATER…IF IT’S WET, IT COUNTS AS WATER, they are just trying to sell you more soda. That ticked me off so bad that I have began to slow and painful journey of dropping the diet soda addiction… it is a hard row to hoe, but when you are insulting my intelligence, I have to quit buying your product. Cigarette manufacturers at least are KINDA honest on their packages, they are all like THIS WILL FUCK YOUR FETUS ALL UP and YOU WILL GET LUNG CANCER FROM THIS. They are not like HEY, YOU BREATHE IN CIGARETTE SMOKE, YOU BREATHE IN OXYGEN, THEY ARE THE SAME THING! IF YOU GOTTA BREATHE, WHY DON’T YOU BREATHE IN THIS NICE, COOL, MENTHOL-FLAVORED OXYGEN WITH NICOTINE!!

Water is a major ingredient in a lot of stuff… Vitamin Water is water as much as shampoo or Formula 409 is water.

That is all. Carry on.

A lot of the time, people say things better than I do, so it’s best just to admit it and copy and paste shit.  I should also note that a couple of years ago when I was trying to lose weight, I did drink diet soda and I think I tried to bake with Splenda a few times.  It was pretty gross.  I don’t drink soda now unless i’m running errands and i’m really thirsty, but if I do it’s regular sprite because diet soda taste like…well, chemicals.  I’m not saying that regular soda is good for you, but it’s still better than diet soda.  And i’ve determined that i’d rather be kind of fat and not have cancer than be slightly less fat and feel crappy all the time and maybe get cancer later.

*Or I would go check it out if the local yokel library had a copy, according to their website they don’t.  Bummer.

    Tell me about Splenda, then. I use it religiously. Am I going to get cancer, too, because I use Splenda?

    There’s information about it all over the internet. Don’t shoot the messenger.

  • http://www.yeahthatveganshit.blogspot.com Lindy Loo

    Weirdly enough, Natalie was apparently psychic: I just started seeing ads for an alcoholic mineral water?!?

    Not even kidding you.

    Skinny Bitch is great for anyone who doesn’t think about every little thing that goes into their mouths. As a vegan and regular PPKer, you probably won’t find anything new. But it is a quick read, and it’s always good to have postive vegan reads out there!

  • Megan

    I’m in the process of reading Skinny Bitch. It’s a great book, in my opinion. There are a lot of things I already knew, but a lot I didn’t. They go into detail about what kind of foods cause what problems in your body. They do use a lot of profanity [some people got mad because of that.] but it’s a pretty interesting read. Plus there are lists of good, healthy, vegan food you can buy in the back. Including healthy junk food. & a great month menu of good vegan food to help you lose weight.

  • Laura

    Skinny Bitch is great. I knew a lot of things in it but having everything compiled made me realize how serious the problems are with a normal diet. It actually turned me vegan. Yay!
    Also Natalie Dee rocks.

UFO caught stealing part of the Sun’s soul?!

Solar Eruption Mistaken for Refueling UFO.

Telescope images captured of the sun on Monday (March 12) show what appears to be a planet-size shadowy object tethered to the sun by a dark filament. In the image sequence, a burst of brightly lit material can be seen erupting from the sun’s surface surrounding the dark object, after which the orb detaches from the sun and shoots out into space.

The footage, a composite of images captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory and processed by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has quickly garnered attention on YouTube, where viewers are suggesting it shows a UFO spacecraft refueling by sucking up solar plasma, or at the very least, the birth of a new planet.

However, according to NASA scientists, the feature is actually a little-understood, but frequently observed, type of solar activity called a “prominence,” and the way it is situated beneath another solar feature gives it its otherworldy appearance.

Source: Life’s Little Mysteries

A perfectly natural explanation. Besides, how could a UFO have survived the extreme heat from the sun? Once again, we have some people that will assume an extreme and completely implausible explanation when there are better ones.

Here’s a very short clip of the incident:

    For the sake of argument, if you don’t know exactly what a UFO is and what it’s capabilities are, then you can’t assume that a given activity is outside of its range of capabilities. All the “out there” theories of faster than light travel which are unlikely to work call for huge forces / temperatures, so any craft capable of surviving such a journey may very well have the capability to survive forces near the sun. Though of course, super highly unlikely.

    I will say that this is one of the better “freaky astronomy” / UFO flicks I’ve seen. The alleged object appears to be spherical, and it’s strange that the “tether” is so much thinner and such. I’m not surprised people are surprised by this one, though people should be willing to listen to more conventional, and far more likely, explanations.

    • March 14, 2012 at 5:37 PM

      Agreed. But it would be out of the bounds of material science as we know it. So, skepticism sure is justified.

      • Massachusetts
        March 15, 2012 at 10:44 PM

        yes, definitely out of bounds for science as we know it!

    It’s the planet x that so many people talk about. There’s a part in which you can see the thing leave the sun. It may or may not be intelligent, but it could be likely that the thing is on a collision course with earth which scientists haven’t figured out or are withholding.

Lead Screening, Case Management, Lab Submissions, Reporting Guidelines

A blood test is the preferred method for lead screening. There are two tests used to obtain blood lead specimens, capillary blood test or venous blood test. Finger stick capillary blood tests can be done as the initial screening. However, safety measures should be taken to reduce the risk of contamination. These measures include:

  • Rinsing powder from the examination gloves
  • Thoroughly washing patient's hands with soap and water, then drying before taking a sample

A venous blood test can be done as the initial screening as well. This method should always be used to confirm elevated blood lead test results when a capillary test was used as the initial screening.

Case Management

Lab Submission

The Waycross Regional Laboratory provides an analysis of blood lead specimens to Georgia children less than 72 months of age. The provider's office should contact the laboratory to use this service. GHHLPPP does not recommend or endorse the use of another lab.

Waycross Public Health Laboratory
1751 Gus Karle Parkway
Waycross, Georgia 31503

Reporting Guidelines

Laboratories attempt to test each lead specimen on the day it arrives. The reports are mailed back to providers on the same day. All laboratory data is sent monthly in electronic or paper format to GHHLPPP.

Providers should report the results of all screening and follow-up BLL tests to GHHLPPP. Because data from laboratories often do not include demographic information, complete reports from providers' offices are very important. If reports are not complete, GHHLPPP may contact providers' offices for missing information.

Pierre Allen scouting report

Pierre Allen DE Nebraska
Ht: 6’4″

Wt: 275

Impressive overall size. Quick off the snap, shows a nice bull rush. Very reliable tackler. Strong lower body; holds his ground against the run. A great leader on and off the field; a mature player (23 years old, married with a son).
Slightly older than your average draft prospect. Doesn’t have the explosive athleticism necessary to consistently get into the backfield. Collegiate production may be a result of playing next to some dominant tackles (Ndamukong Suh, Jared Crick).
Allen has NFL talent, but his skill set may limit the number of teams interested in his services. He isn’t big enough to play tackle and not quick enough to offer much as a 4-3 end. He is probably best suited to play end in a 3-4 scheme. While he could have a successful career in the right system, players with a limited skill set often fall on draft day. He doesn’t have a ton of upside, but could provide some quality depth in the right scheme.

Trial Team Wins Regional Championship in National Trial Competition

February 20, 2012

For the second year in a row, the Trial Team returned from the Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA) National Trial Team’s Regional Competition in Philadelphia on Feb. 18 & 19 with an armful of trophies.

Trial Team members Michael Benz and Margaret Wheltle won one of two Regional Championship trophies in the National Trial Competition, one of the nation’s toughest and most prestigious. Benz was named the Best Advocate in the final round, in which he and Wheltle defeated a team from Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law.

A second team of Carla Wasko, Sam Haaz and J.J. Luff advanced to the finals, where Wasko was named Best Advocate in the round, against students from Temple’s Beasley School of Law.

The students were coached by Royce W. Smith, of Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock & Dodig, LLP, and David K. Inscho of Kline & Specter.

The law school’s teams feature unusually strong students, said Professor Gwen Roseman Stern, who directs the law school’s Trial Advocacy Program.

“These are some of the most outstanding students I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been teaching for 13 years,” Stern said.

Benz and Wheltle will take part in the national competition, which will be held in Austin, Tex. March 22-24.

College of Charleston finally has its next men’s basketball coach. The school hired Earl Grant Tuesday, effectively capping several tumultuous months for the Cougars.

Grant replaces Doug Wojcik, who was fired Aug. 5 after a pair of investigations into allegations of physical and verbal abuse of players and staff. The new coach had spent the past five years as an assistant under former UNCW coach Brad Brownell at Clemson.

College of Charleston’s search for a coach had dragged on with several missteps along the way. The school reportedly had a pair of finalists — Anthony Johnson and Mike Young — pull their names from consideration late in the process last week.

Grant, 37, has also served as an assistant at Wichita State, Winthrop and The Citadel. He has a reputation as a strong recruiter, notably pulling All-ACC pick K.J. McDaniels to Clemson. He’ll be the second first-year coach in the Colonial Athletic Association this season, joining UNCW’s Kevin Keatts.

College of Charleston President Glenn McConnell, in a statement, welcomed Grant and applauded the Cougars for dealing with adversity this summer. The new coach will be formally introduced at a Friday press conference.

Brownell, the last coach to lead UNCW to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, praised Grant in a phone interview with the Post & Courier in Charleston.

“I couldn’t be happier for Earl because he’s such a great person and a great coach. I know how much work is involved in becoming a head coach. I know this is a dream come true for Earl and I think this is a great fit for the College of Charleston. He’s going to do a great job.”

UNCW and College of Charleston are scheduled to meet twice in 2014-2015. The Seahawks visit Charleston on Jan. 21 and host the Cougars on Feb. 12. The teams split a pair of meetings with College of Charleston last season, including UNCW’s double-overtime victory on Senior Night.

Grant’s hire adds another branch to Brownell’s coaching tree. Former UNCW player Billy Donlon (Wright State) and Rick Ray (Mississippi State) are among his other former assistants who are now head coaches.

Woes Over What Gets Flushed

Conservancy report sounds nitrogen alarm

The Nature Conservancy, a conservation organization that works to protect ecologically important lands and waterways, issued a report last week asserting that wastewater from residential septic systems and sewage treatment plants contributes approximately half of the nitrogen pollution found in 25 of 43 areas surveyed within the Peconic Estuary.

Large quantities of nitrogen are leaching from onsite disposal systems into waterways on the South Fork, the report stated, an overabundance of which is blamed for oxygen-depleted water, algal blooms, fin and shellfish kills, and the loss of seagrass and marsh habitat. The areas studied are within the towns of East Hampton, Southampton, Shelter Island, Southold, Brookhaven, and Riverhead.

Fertilizer and atmospheric deposition — the natural accumulation of nitrogen — each account for roughly one-quarter of the nitrogen pollution, the report said. Nitrogen from these sources reaches water bodies through both ground and surface water flow.

“There is no denying that excess nitrogen is the largest threat to Long Island’s beautiful and economically important water bodies,” Nancy Kelley, the executive director of the Nature Conservancy on Long Island, said in a release accompanying the report. The report called on Suffolk and Nassau County officials to act quickly to reduce nitrogen leaching.

Residential septic systems and cesspools, said Chris Clapp, a marine scientist with the Nature Conservancy, “are the majority of the problem. If we don’t address them, we run the risk of giving up our maritime heritage and tourism industry.”

In single-family houses, wastewater from toilets, showers, sinks, and washing machines converge to a single pipe leading to the underground septic tank. The systems are designed so that the effluent — liquid waste discharged from the system — is discharged from the tank into a set of pipes with holes, known as a leach field, through which the effluent is released. It is then filtered by soil or sand.

“The concept was that we lived on a big sandbar and the sand was good at removing pathogens,” Mr. Clapp said of current methods. “Aside from systems near surface water, they’ve done the job okay. But as sea level rises and people build closer to shore, there are many systems that are now tidally influenced: One or two times a month or, in some places, during a storm, the tide comes up, the groundwater rises and floods the septic. When the tide goes out, it takes everything away with it.”

“Most of our septic systems don’t deal with nitrogen,” said Bill Taylor, the town’s waterways management supervisor and an East Hampton Town trustee. “Once you get organic nitrogen in the water system it creates all these algal blooms. We’ve been trying to prevent this for a long time.”

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell pointed to faulty septic systems and “legacy systems around our harbors and bays that were built many years ago before the Health Department and local wetlands laws were created.” The next phase of the town’s wastewater study, he said, will be issued in the fall and focus attention on nitrogen pollution and mitigation strategies. “We’re going to need to find ways to upgrade, relocate, and replace systems that are causing nitrogen loading,” he said.

Modern septic systems, Mr. Clapp said, are essentially “mini wastewater treatment plants.” Such a system “would have a shallow drain field that gets a regular dosing over time of the effluent. You get extra treatment just by moving it closer to the surface. Put them shallow in the ground to take advantage of the microbes in the soil and the potential for surf grass to uptake the nutrients. Between the actual treatment unit and the change in how we disperse the effluent, you can really make substantial changes.”

Replacing septic systems, however, “is not inexpensive,” Mr. Cantwell said. “How you ask an individual to pay for that, or provide assistance to do so, is a challenge.”

The town’s current effort to purchase undeveloped properties in the Lake Montauk watershed using money from the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund transfer tax, Mr. Cantwell said, is part of a long-term proactive effort to reduce pollution in the lake. “Rather than being faced with that situation where we’re required to approve more cesspools, we can use C.P.F. to avoid that problem on those parcels in the future.”

Mr. Taylor and Mr. Clapp also mentioned the overuse of fertilizers by homeowners, farmers, and for recreational use, such as golf courses. “People have got to understand that anything they put on their lawn winds up in their water,” Mr. Taylor said.

“It would be nice to see the agricultural community embrace some of the voluntary options that they have now to reduce nitrogen,” Mr. Clapp said, such as targeted, efficient use of fertilizer.

Stephanie Forsberg, a town trustee who has a doctorate in marine science, welcomed the Nature Conservancy’s report. “As a county and town, we need to delve deeper into the source of what is causing events in our estuaries such as seasonal, harmful algal blooms,” she wrote in an email.

The trustees, in cooperation with Christopher Gobler of Stony Brook University, have implemented a water-quality monitoring program in trustee-managed waterways. “We plan to look at specific types of nitrogen in the water to see if they are present before, during, or after harmful algal bloom events,” Dr. Forsberg wrote. “By obtaining this data, we hope to work with our fellow constituents and elected officials at the town level and higher to collaborate jurisdictions and work towards fixing the source of what may be setting off these undesired chains of events in our trustee ecosystems.”

The Nature Conservancy report, she wrote, “is a step in the right direction; now we will continue by focusing on water quality and possible nitrogen sources within our town’s watershed.”

The consequences of not acting, Mr. Cantwell said, include more toxic algae blooms and degradation to shellfish and other marine life. “That,” he said, “is too high a price to pay.”

Lunch Break: The Italian Store

Napoli Sandwich
A sandwich from The Italian Store can add a lot of spice to an ordinary lazy, bland, hot and humid DC Saturday. This hearty lunch option is bursting with Italian meats and cheeses served on either a hard or soft roll (I recommend the latter) dressed with oil, lettuce, onions, and hot and/or sweet peppers.

Located in a strip mall off of Lee Highway in Arlington, The Italian Store specializes in Philadelphia-style Italian subs as well as pizzas, fresh pasta sauces, and a variety of other Italian staples.  And while the outside is non-descript, the word has been out for some time that this is pretty much the only place to go in Arlington for sandwiches and pizza of this quality, so expect large crowds. And true to its Italian roots, expect plenty of chaos, disorganization, and long waits -- all of which the consultant in me really wants to consult with management to improve.  Also, there is a no doubt that the grocery selections are grossly overpriced.

First tip: if you are getting a sandwich, get your number immediately upon entering.

Second tip: I have been here a few dozen times, and the experience is always frenetic.  Stay the course, the fresh-prepared items (subs, pizzas, homemade sauces) are actually worth this hassle.

While the Italian Store offers a few outdoor tables and a small counter inside, we almost always get our sandwiches to go.  There is something about unwrapping the large square of butcher paper to reveal that sandwich that you patiently (or maybe not!) waited for that really adds to the experience.   Sandwiches are priced between $7 - $9.

Back of the Book

For nine-year-old Beth Lowe, it should have been a magical summer—sun-kissed days lounging in rickety deck chairs, nights gathered around the fire. But what begins as an innocent vacation to Hungary ends with the devastating separation of her parents. Beth and her father return home alone, leaving her mother, Marika, behind.

Over the next seven summers, Beth walks a tightrope between worlds, fleeing her quiet home and distant father to bask in the intoxicating Hungarian countryside with Marika. It is during these enthralling summers that Beth comes to life and learns to love. But at sixteen, she uncovers a life-shattering secret, bringing her sacred summers with Marika abruptly to an end.

Now, years later, Beth receives a package containing a scrapbook, a haunting record of a time long forgotten. Suddenly, she is swept back to the world she left behind, forced to confront the betrayal that destroyed her—and to search her heart for forgiveness.

IRS has $12.8 million for Minnesota workers who have not filed a 2008 tax return

Refunds totaling more than $12.8 million may be waiting for 15,200 taxpayers who did not file a federal income tax return for 2008.  The Internal Revenue Service estimates that half of these potential 2008 refunds are $584 or more.

“Some people may not have filed because they had too little income to require filing a tax return even though they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments,” said IRS spokesperson Carrie Resch.

Resch said in cases where a 2008 return was not filed, the law provides most taxpayers with a three-year window of opportunity for claiming a refund. That window closes on April 17, 2012 and if no return is filed to claim a refund, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury.  There is no penalty for filing a late return qualifying for a refund.

By failing to file a return, taxpayers may lose more than a refund of taxes withheld.  Low-and-moderate income workers may not have claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit, which in 2008 could have been worth as much as $4,716 for those with two or more qualifying children.

The IRS reminds taxpayers seeking a 2008 refund that their checks will be held if they have not filed tax returns for 2009 and 2010. In addition, the refund will be applied to any amounts still owed to the IRS and may be used to offset unpaid child support or past due federal debts such as student loans.

Current and prior year tax forms and instructions are available on the Forms and Publications page of or by calling toll-free 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

Taxpayers who are missing Forms W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 for 2008, 2009 or 2010 should request copies from their employer, bank or other payer.

If these efforts are unsuccessful, taxpayers can get a free transcript showing information from these year-end documents by ordering online at, calling 1-800-908-9946 or by filing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, with the IRS.

Subcontractors in Tennessee who don’t receive payment for extra work not documented in change orders will have to argue again for their right to be paid, as a general contractor in the state has filed an appeal in a lawsuit that forced it to pay $1.2 million to one of its subs. Amprite Electric recently succeeded in suing the Tennessee Construction Group for refusing to pay for work on the Adelphia Coliseum project that it requested but was never accompanied by written change orders.

The American Subcontractors Association (ASA) has come to the defense of Amprite in the appeal, filing as an amicus curiae, or friend of the court. The association believes that change order provisions have been “used as a weapon by general contractors to deny or delay payment to subcontractors who do the work, but in the interest of teamwork and job progress, do not obtain written change orders before doing the work.”

By filing as an amicus curiae, the ASA is not a party to the case, but it believes the outcome of the trial will have an impact on its interests.
