Smart Jet Compressors

by Iwata

Featuring Iwata’s Smart Technology, Smart Jet compressors are perfect for the occasional and professional artist doing general airbrush applications. They’re powerful, compact, reliable, and quiet.

Smart Jet compressors create less heat-related moisture build-up, produce full-capacity air on demand, reduce running time, and are inherently quieter in public environments. With 1/8 hp. generators, Smart Jet compressors generate air pressures of 1 to 35 psi.

Other features include:

  • Automatic shut-off when not in use
  • Zero-maintenance, oil-less piston air compressor
  • Extra hose for enhanced moisture separation
  • Mounted air pressure gauge
  • Bleed valve airflow adjustment to lower air pressure
  • High-strength polyurethane hose that fits Iwata brushes
Smart Jet possesses all of the above features and measures 10 in. x 7 in. x 6 in.

Smart Jet Pro is the same as the Smart Jet but includes a bult-in moisture filter/air regulator for regulating exact air pressures. It also comes with a strong protective outer case. The Smart Jet Pro measures 10 1/2 in. x 12 in. x 6 in.

What could make a man start doing a larger share of a couple's housework?

Switching into a traditionally female job maybe one way, according to a new study.

Looking at several thousand people from 1981 through 2009, sociologist Elizabeth McClintock examined whether switching into a job that is predominated by the opposite gender influenced the way housework is divided in couples.

The study found that men who were in relationships who switched into occupations once regarded as female — such as teaching, childcare work or nursing — spent more time doing housework, compared to when they held traditionally male jobs. Meanwhile, their female partners reduced their housework hours.

The same was true for women. When women switched into a female-dominated job, they tended to spend more hours doing housework than they used to, according to the study, which was presented today (Aug. 13) at the meeting of the American Sociological Association in New York

"Inequality in housework is a contentious issue in many marriages," said McClintock, who studies inequality in romantic relationships at University of Notre Dame in Indiana. Compared with previous decades, women now spend fewer hours doing housework, and men now participate more, but the gap hasn't closed, she said. Women continue to take on a larger share of housework.

In researching the factors driving the dynamics in relationships, sociologists usually see income as the main source of power, McClintock said. According to this view, whichever spouse earns more has more negotiation power, and will do less housework. [Busted! 6 Gender Myths in the Bedroom & Beyond]

But income is not the only source of power in relationships that influences how housework is shared, McClintock said. Other factors, such as working at a job that is predominately occupied by women can affect a man's relationship at home too, she said, and this could play out in several ways.

One possible way is that men would avoid doing housework, to compensate for the emasculating effects of having a female job.

"I did not find evidence that men compensate for the emasculating effect of working in a highly-female occupation by reducing their housework contributions," McClintock said. "This may be because men do not feel emasculated by working in female jobs," she said.

Alternatively, it could be that men who work in traditionally female jobs suffer the stigma that still surrounds gender barriers, which makes them less desirable in the relationship market. They then may become more dependent on their current relationships, because their prospects elsewhere have reduced, McClintock said.

"It may be too risky to use housework as their means of reasserting masculinity — angering their wives," McClintock said. "Instead, men actually do more housework, presumably to reduce their prospects of divorce."

Men in the study who held female-dominated jobs spent 25 percent more time doing housework compared to men in male-dominated jobs.

Comparing women to each other, the results showed that women whose partners worked in predominately-female occupations did about 14 percent less housework than those whose partners work in predominately-male occupations.

Single men and women, however, were not affected by the gender composition of their job, the study found. They did not reduce or increase their housework hours according to how feminine or masculine their job was.

This suggests that it's not the gendered nature of the job that influences people, but rather, "occupation influences housework through interactions and negotiations between romantic partners," McClintock said.

Woman launches petition to make simple test required for all newborns

Rebecca Weissinger says a simple, non-invasive blood oxygen test saved the life of her son, Owen. Photo by Laura Haley
Rebecca Weissinger says a simple, non-invasive blood oxygen test saved the life of her son, Owen. Photo by Laura Haley
When Owen Weissinger was born, he was, by all outward appearances, a perfectly healthy little boy. Weighing in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces, Owen and his mother, Rebecca Weissinger, were discharged from the hospital shortly after his birth.

Rebecca Weissinger said she and her husband, Mark, initially noticed some differences between Owen and his older brother Theo, but nothing they were too concerned about.

“He slept a lot,” she said. “At first he was a great eater, but after a few days, he started to have trouble.”

When Owen was four days old, his parents took him in for a routine well-child checkup to make sure that he hadn’t lost too much weight. During that appointment a nurse performed a simple test that Rebecca Weissinger credits with saving Owen’s life.

“The first thing the nurse did was put on a pulse oximeter,” she said. A pulse oximeter is a sensor that is strapped on a baby’s foot to measure the saturation of oxygen in the blood. “In a healthy person, it should be close to 100 percent,” Weissinger said. Owen’s was only at 70 percent when he was happy, and it dropped dangerously to 30 percent when he cried.

Owen was eventually flown to Denver, Colo., where he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. At 10 days old, Owen underwent open-heart surgery. He will celebrate his first birthday this month, and though Weissinger said he still has a few more surgeries ahead of him, his prognosis is good.

When Weissinger heard that Utah Rep. Paul Ray was introducing legislation that would require a pulse oximeter test for newborns before they are discharged from a hospital or birthing center, she looked for a way to help support the proposal. She is currently circulating a petition in support of the legislation.

“Right now the American Heart Association is trying to get this mandated in all 50 states,” she said

Weissinger points out that most hospitals already have the equipment required for pulse oximetry testing, it’s non-invasive, and estimates put the test at around $1 to $3. “It’s no worse than taking a temperature or something like that,” she said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, congenital heart defects account for nearly 30 percent of infant deaths due to birth defects. Not all are critical, but the CDC estimates that nearly 300 babies are discharged from hospitals each year with an undetected critical congenital heart defect. This can put them at risk for serious disability or death.

The American Heart Association says new research “suggests wider use of pulse ox screening would help identify more than 90 percent of heart defects.” Several states, including Maryland, Indiana and West Virginia, have already passed legislation requiring the testing.

On Feb. 1, Utah lawmakers will meet with members from the American Heart Association for “Heart on the Hill Day,” Weissinger said. During that session, several pieces of legislation will be introduced and Weissinger plans to deliver her petition to lawmakers on that day.

“We had to make so many decisions that no parent would ever want to make,” Weissinger said of her son’s time in the hospital. “Sedation, intubation, stomach pumping, surgery ... You say yes to it all because that was Owen’s chance at life. For the legislators, this is their chance to say yes and give that opportunity to other babies in Utah. So I hope they say yes.”

Weissinger’s petition is currently posted at Moonflower Market in Moab.

Lenovo Creates New Group to Focus on Tablets, Smartphones and Smart TVs
      #39749 - 01/20/11 04:01 PM

Lenovo has announced it is establishing a new business group, the Mobile Internet and Digital Home Business Group (MIDH), responsible for creating mobile Internet-focused devices, including tablets and smartphones, as well as devices for new categories like cloud computing, smart TV and the digital home. The group will be responsible for developing services and applications that will fuel these next generation "convergence" devices. More info:

Lenovo is already delivering products tailored to the mobile Internet space. Lenovo launched the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid (a combination of a slate and laptop) and the LePad slate at the recent International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. In 2010, the company entered the smartphone market in China with the launch of the Lenovo smartphone to become one of China?s leading mobile phone players, accelerating Lenovo?s growth in the mobile device category. Lenovo also showcased smart TV and digital home technologies at CES and has plans to develop and deliver new products in these areas.

Liu Jun, formerly senior vice president and president of Lenovo?s Product Group, will lead the new group as president. He is based at the company?s China headquarters in Beijing. The company has promoted Peter Hortensius, formerly head of its Think Product Group, to president of its Product Group. He is based at Lenovo?s U.S. headquarters in Raleigh, NC.

Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei.

Brunei Listen, officially the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace (Malay: Negara Brunei Darussalam, Jawi: نڬارا بروني دارالسلام, Arabic: دولة بروناي، دار السلام), is a sovereign state located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea, it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, and it is separated into two parts by the Sarawak district of Limbang. It is the only sovereign state completely on the island of Borneo, with the remainder of the island belonging to Malaysia and Indonesia. Brunei's population was 401,890 in July 2011.

The official national history claims that Brunei can trace its beginnings to the 7th century, when it was a subject state of the Srivijayan empire under the name P'o-li. It later became a vassal state of Majapahit empire before converting to Islam in the 15th century. At the peak of its empire, the sultanate had control that extended over the coastal regions of modern-day Sarawak and Sabah, the Sulu archipelago, and the islands off the northwest tip of Borneo. The thalassocracy was visited by the remnants of the Ferdinand Magellan Expedition in 1521 after Magellan was killed some weeks earlier on 27 April of that year and fought the Castille War in 1578 against Spain. Its empire began to decline with the forced ceding of Sarawak to James Brooke and the ceding of Sabah to the British North Borneo Chartered Company. After the loss of Limbang, Brunei finally became a British protectorate in 1888, receiving a resident in 1906. In the years after the Japanese wartime occupation during World War II, it formalised a constitution and fought an armed rebellion. Brunei regained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. Economic growth during the 1970s and 1990s, averaging 56% from 1999 to 2008, has transformed Brunei Darussalam into a newly industrialised country.

Brunei has the second highest Human Development Index among the South East Asia nations after Singapore, and is classified as a developed country. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Brunei is ranked 5th in the world by gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity. The IMF also states in a 2011 estimate that Brunei was one of two countries (the other being Libya) with their public debt at 0% of the national GDP. Forbes also ranks Brunei as the fifth richest nation out of 182 nations due to its extensive petroleum and natural gas fields.

Shattered Steel is a first-person 3D action game similar in concept to MechWarrior series. The player takes control of bipedal machines (mechs) known as Planet Runners, trying to protect humanity against alien menace. The single player campaign takes place on five different planets, with about twenty missions available for each. The missions mostly involve direct assaults, infiltration of enemy strongholds, defending own bases, or escorting important figures.

The player can pilot up to seven different Runners in different sizes and shapes, having their own strengths and weaknesses. Each Runner is equipped with primary and secondary weapons which are either energy-charged or require bullets. The enemies are mostly shaped like animals and can be taken out using the game's locational damage system: for example, it is possible to incapacitate (but not kill) enemies by destroying their legs. The game also features deformable terrain, which may be used to the player's advantage in a few cases. A mission editor, an "anarchy" mode with co-op options, and a multiplayer mode for up to sixteen players are included as well.

Sunday Potluck Quilt

I’m very excited to be back at the Moda Bake Shop. This is a combination of a basic nine-patch and strip-piecing. I’ve created an over-sized 18″ block so it goes together quickly with strip piecing. The pattern is written for layer cakes, but you could also incorporate jelly rolls, as there are many 2.5″ strips. Potluck has an old-fashioned country charm and I can see this quilt being brought to Friday night football games or on a fall camping trip. Enjoy, and visit my blog for more tutorials.

2 Layer Cakes: Potluck by American Jane
2 1/4 yards of Bella Snow or light Bella solid
4 1/2 yards backing fabric
300 inches of binding using your preferred method
Batting: 80″ x 80″

Step 1: Block Centers
Choose 16 squares from the Layer Cake for block centers. Cut into 6.5” squares.

Step 2: Corner Nine Patches
Cut 16 Layer Cake squares into 4 strips 2.5” x 10”
Cut 20 solid strips 2.5” x width of fabric. Subcut into 80 strips 2.5” x 10”.
You’ll make 32 of strip set A and 16 of strip set B.
Subcut into 128 strips 2.5” x 6.5”.
You will cut 4 strips per set.
Subcut into 64 strips 2.5” x 6.5”.
You will cut 4 strips per set.
Stitch strips into 64 nine patch units 6.5″ x 6.5″
Step 3: Rail Fence Units
Choose 32 layer cake squares and arrange them into pairs of contrasting colors. Cut a 6.5″ x 10″ rectangle and then cut into 4 strips 6.5” x 2.5”.
Cut 11 strips 2.5” x width from bella solid fabric. Subcut into 64 strips 2.5” x 6.5”.
Stitch strips together as shown. You will create 4 rail fence units 6.5” x 6.5” from each pair of layer cake squares. Stitch a total of 64 Rail Fence units.

Step 4: Assemble Blocks
Lay out units as shown. Stitch into 3 rows, then stitch rows together to form block. Trim to 18.5” square. Stitch blocks together in a 4 x 4 layout to form a top 72” x 72”.

Make a quilt sandwich, baste, quilt, square up, and bind using your preferred method.

Tablescapes: Gwyneth Paltrow + Remodelista & Lunch in London

This is long overdue, but considering that it still feels like
early spring in these-here-parts,
I feel that I can still post an Easter-ish post... ahhemm, especially this one.
I meant to post this last month, but my month got away from me.
After you take a lookie at these gorgeous photos,
you'll see why I couldn't resist to still post.

This tablescapes series with Gwyneth Paltrow is from Remodelista.
They collaborated on a spring table setting in London. The concept?
A fresh take on traditional, with a palette of white, pale pink, lilac, robin's egg blue,
and a bit of black here and there.
Sources for the beautiful tablescape are found on Remodelista.
Photographed by Simon Bevan for Remodelista.

Love this arrangement with white English blossom branches
and handmade egg ornaments.
Notice the copy of My Father's Daughter  on the table?
Just got Gwyneth's new cookbook and looking forward to
trying some of her fabulous recipes.

I would love to have an Easter Lunch at this table.
I love how the look is sophisticated yet casual.
I also think Gwyneth looks amazing as always.

Note: This entire shoot makes me just laugh at how understated my meals are.
Ha! I'll work on that one. ;)
PS: as I'm writing, I'm catching up on my DVR Oprah shows... crying!
So grateful for the empowering and uplifting woman that she is!
Wondering what will we do without her and hoping that more amazing women
with step up and share and influence.

Union Official Calls Tariff Vote 'A Huge Mistake'

The leader of the United Steelworkers union says the International Trade Commission has made "a huge mistake" in not imposing tariffs on truck and bus tires from China. And based on early feedback from Modern Tire Dealer readers, tire dealers and particularly retreaders agree.

Double Coin Fights for Lower Tariff Rates — and Wins

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has admitted errors in its tariff calculations on two truck and bus tire manufacturers in China, and as a result has lowered the rates Double Coin Holdings Ltd. and Guizhou Tyre Co. Ltd. — and all companies — will pay.

‘Unintentional Errors’ Result in Higher Tariffs on Some OTR Tires

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has reversed course in one of its tire tariff investigations after discovering its previous calculations were incomplete. The result is now all but one off-the-road (OTR) tire manufacturer will pay an anti-dumping tariff on OTR tires made in India.

Minor Tariff Relief for All But One OTR Tire Maker

Most off-the-road tire manufacturers in India and Sri Lanka will pay slightly lower tariffs on their imported products following the final stage of investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). The exception is Balkrishna Industries Ltd. (BKT).

Tire Companies, and Dealers, Square Off in Hearing on Tariffs

The investigation of whether off-the-road tires from India and Sri Lanka should be subject to tariffs is front and center at the start of 2017. On Jan. 4 those supporting and opposing tariffs are going head-to-head in a hearing before the International Trade Commission. Here’s the lineup.

Analyst: Tough Road Ahead for Truck Tire Market

At the 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, the tough market environment was on the minds of commercial tire dealers and manufacturers. The good news is there's an expectation for a turnaround in the first half of 2017.

The DOC has recalculated its preliminary anti-dumping tariff rate to account for two errors that affected the initial figure.

DOC Error Forces Higher Tariffs on all Truck Tires From China

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has admitted to a miscalculation in its preliminary anti-dumping tariff rate for truck and bus tires imported from China. As a result, the rates for every manufacturer and importer are increasing to 30.36%, which is nearly 10 points higher than the initial calculation.

Truck Tire Tariffs: Who Will Pay a Lower Rate?

When the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) said its preliminary investigation found evidence of truck and bus tire makers in China dumping tires in the U.S., the agency didn’t specify which tire manufacturers would pay which tariff rate. We’ve now got that information.

The bar only gets more beautiful as you use it, too! It is made with saponified soybean, palm, olive, and coconut oils. I always superfat my soaps so they're extra moisturizing - never drying!

Tips For Raising An Autistic Child

raising an autistic childLearning that your child has autism is difficult for many reasons. First and foremost, you have to come to grips with the fact that your child may develop emotionally and socially at a different rate than their peers.

Still, it is important to remember that an autism diagnosis does not mean that things in your family have to change dramatically.

By educating yourself on what autism is and what it means for your child, you can determine how best to handle issues as they arise. Try these tips for raising an autistic child:

Start with Your Physician

Once you receive the diagnosis, spend some time speaking with your child’s primary care physician. Chances are, you may not know a lot about autism.

The doctor should have valuable information that you can use to determine your next steps. In addition, remember that your child will probably have a number of check-ups with this doctor over the course of their life.

It is important that you (and your child!) develop a strong relationship with him or her so that you feel comfortable asking questions and following their advice.

Finally, your primary care physician is a great resource for help with behavioral problems and treatment options.

Educate Yourself About Autism

While medical professionals are a great resource, it is important that you take it upon yourself to do your own research.

  • Look for autism articles online and purchase books on the subject. Make sure the information you gather is written by professionals in the field, like scientists and doctors.
  • Follow blogs and join forums with other concerned parents. The more “in the know” you are, the easier it will be for you to speak intelligently about what you want for your child and what type of treatments you are interested in.

Connect with Other Parents

Keep an eye out to see if any autism conferences are being held in your area. If not, consider traveling to one. These events are often very helpful for parents; they talk a lot about what autism is and what autistic children experience on a daily basis.

In addition, they may be able to equip you with the tools your child needs to function better in daily life.

Find an Autism Specialist

While your child’s regular doctor is a great resource, it is important to make an appointment with a specialist as well.

Autism specialists have dedicated themselves to studying autism and working with children who have similar concerns as your little one. They can give you strategies to make life at home and at school just a little easier on everyone.

For example, the specialist may talk about the importance of having a predictable routine and will explain why this is so important for autistic children.

Know Your Child’s Triggers

Watch your child carefully, especially in the weeks following the autism diagnosis. Are there certain things that set your little one off? For example, do they have trouble when there is a lot of noise or when their routine is interrupted? If you know what your child’s triggers are, you can create a plan to help them avoid stressful situations.

While you may not be able to avoid all triggers entirely, you can prepare both yourself and your child mentally for what is going to happen.

Although every child is different, you may benefit from speaking with other parents of autistic children. Not only can they be a great emotional support, but they may have tips or suggestions based on what has worked with their own children.

An autism diagnosis can be difficult to digest. However, by using the tips included here, you and your child will find that you can still live a very happy life together as a family.

Improving Efficiency When Recruiting Affiliates – 4 Quick Steps

Improving Efficiency When Recruiting Affiliates - 4 Quick Steps What is efficiency?  When it comes to recruiting affiliates, efficiency can be thought of as a combination of two elements: the quality of the affiliate and the ease with which they are recruited.

Of course, those two elements can be further broken down, so just to save ourselves some time, let’s call “quality” the ability of the affiliate to learn the system and start generating sales for your organization.

And for “ease”, let’s call that the amount of time you spend getting the person into your program and ready to sell your products.

Simple enough, right?  When you make it easier to recruit high-quality affiliates, you become more efficient.  But how do you go about doing that?

The Four Steps to Recruiting Affiliates More Efficiently

Here are four quick and easy steps to making your affiliate recruiting process more efficient.

First: Set up a Better Affiliate Info Page

The first and best step to getting more efficiency out of your affiliate recruiting process is to tidy up where you get the best affiliates in the easiest manner—your affiliate info page.  Since all it takes is some great content to tell your potential leads why they should partner up with you, the work is minimal.  Easy part?  Check.

But what’s more is that the affiliates that come though your info page are generally professional marketers who know what type of products and services they want to sell.  This means that they’re coming to you, a sure sign that that they are likely high-quality, experienced affiliate marketers.  They won’t take much training since they already know how to promote the type of services or goods you are offering.  This makes them quality.  Check.

The only real drawback here is if your site isn’t targeted for your audience or if you have a low traffic flow coming in.  Luckily, cleaning up your affiliate marketing info page can help give you a boost in both of these areas—but won’t be enough on its own to draw in stellar leads.  Don’t worry, there are still four more steps!

Second: Join an Affiliate Network

When you join an affiliate network, all of the affiliates in that network are instantly able to see your merchandise in the network’s marketplace.  This is essentially a show and tell for your goods and if they are good, the affiliates will come to your page on their own.

Of course, some goods and services need a little extra help, especially in a saturated market or high-risk venture.  For that, you can simply step up your recruitment efforts inside the network by setting up direct emails to the affiliate segments that you want to work with.  Look for segments that are most compatible with your products and services and you’ll find your high-quality affiliates easily.  Check and check.

The only drawback here is that some of the affiliate networks have user fees while others have leveled memberships where you’ll only have access to the premium features when you pay more.  Just be sure to look through the terms and conditions before you join and you should be able to find a network that suits your budget—or lack thereof.

Third: Reach Out and Make Direct Contact

There’s nothing wrong with going directly to your competitors and recruiting their affiliates.  Simple Google search the products or services your competition is offering and see which affiliate sites pop up.  This doesn’t cost you a thing and since the affiliates are already at the top of the SERPs, you know that they know what they’re doing.

And while it might not be easy to convince them to come over, a higher percentage will normally do the trick.  While this might not be as cost-efficient sounding as the other steps listed here, just think of it this way: you’re taking away profits from your competitors and adding an excellent affiliate that brings quality to your team without doing much work. Check and check.

Finally: Attend Affiliate Events

While this might not be that easy for everyone (depending on where you live), these can be fun networking events so we’ll go ahead and say that fun trumps easy.  Plus, you’ll be in direct contact with thousands of merchants, affiliates and networks for a few days so if you have a charming smile, a winning personality and an unforgettable sales pitch, this is going to be extremely easy for you.

Try to schedule your meetings in advance with the affiliates you’d like to recruit.  Offer them outings to a restaurant or bar—make the trip worth their—and your—while.  Keep in mind that this might cost you to attend and will certainly cost you to treat the affiliates, but when quality is the result, we’ll give this one another two checks for efficiency.

OFT to investigate Mortgage Brain’s acquisition of MortgageStream

The Office of Fair Trading is to look at the anticipated acquisition by Mortgage Brain of MortgageStream.

In December, Mortgage Brain announced that it had agreed the terms to acquire point-of-sale and case management system provider MortgageStream.

The OFT is considering whether arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether that might result in a substantial lessening of competition.

It expects to complete its findings by March 20 2012.

In March 2011 the OFT referred Mortgage Brain’s planned acquisition of TrigoldCrystal to the Competition Commission.

It claimed the merger would have deterred competition in the market and was worried the move would have led to less innovation and a lower quality of service to customers.

Monmouth / About the College / News / Full Story

Ditzler elected to DIII Presidents Council

Barry McNamara
Monmouth College president Mauri Ditzler has been elected one of three new members of the NCAA Division III Presidents Council.
“I am delighted by the opportunity to be even more involved with the important work of the NCAA,” said Ditzler, who directed an extensive renovation of the college’s football and outdoor track facilities, which were formally dedicated in 2009 as April Zorn Memorial Stadium. “The link between college presidents and the NCAA is a strong one. The more I learn about the association, the more I am convinced that it is sensitive and responsive to the desire of presidents to tie intercollegiate athletics to education and character development.
Also approved to join the 15-member council was UW-Platteville chancellor Dennis Shields and Debra Townsley, president of William Peace College. The terms of the three new members will extend through the NCAA’s 2017 convention.
“I think that some of the best thinking about athletics is being done at the member institutions of the Midwest Conference,” Ditzler concluded. “I look forward to the opportunity to share those ideas with a broader audience as a member of the council.”
Ditzler became Monmouth’s 13th president in 2005. A 1975 graduate of Wabash College, he earned a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Duke in 1979. Ditzler served in various capacities as a faculty member at College of the Holy Cross before being appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Millikin in 1994. In 1999, Ditzler returned to his alma mater as dean of the faculty and chief academic officer.

  • Bookmark and Share

A packed house of 23,317 were on-hand at Monmouth Park on Sunday to witness Zucchini Flower capture the $75,000 Monmouth Beach Stakes and Ruthenia report home a winner in the $75,000 Miss Liberty Stakes.

            Owned by Virginia Kraft Payson LLC, Ruthenia swung wide for the drive before storming to the lead in mid-stretch and posting a length victory in the mile and a sixteenth turf event.  Ruthenia stopped the timer in 1:42 flat over firm turf and paid $5, $3.60 and $2.40 as the favorite in the field of nine fillies and mares.  Namaskara rallied to complete the $34.40 exacta and paid $5 and $3.  It was another length and a quarter back to Street Secret ($2.20) and Dinner’s Out ($4) who dead-heated for the show.

            “She was travelling along so well and turning for home all she needed was daylight and she took off,” said winning jockey Joe Bravo.  “She’s a pile of fire.  You have to try to contain it as long as possible.”

            Trained by Christophe Clement, Ruthenia is a 5-year-old mare by Pulpit from the Rahy mare Ruthian.  She has now banked $298,635 for her connections.

            One race earlier, Zucchini Flower stalked Winiliscious down the backstretch before powering past that rival at the top of the lane and posting a 3 ¾ length victory in the Monmouth Beach.

            Trained by H. Graham Motion, Zucchini Flower went the mile and 70 yards over a fast main track in 1:39 4/5 and paid $9.60, $4.60 and $3.  Winiliscious held the place, paying $4.80 and $3.20 and completing a $49.80 exacta.  It was another length and a quarter back to Daydreamin Gracie, who paid $2.80 to show.

            “The race set up perfectly,” said winning rider Jeremy Rose.  “She drew outside and that’s where she prefers to be.  We tracked the speed and once we turned for home she switched leads and took off.  She’s a very talented filly.”

            A 4-year-old daughter of Flower Alley from the Silver Buck mare Heathers Promsie, Zucchini Flower races in the colors of Albert Frassetto. She now has a record of 4-2-2 from 15 starts, good for $177,665 in earnings.

            Live racing continues at Monmouth Park on Monday, May 27 for a Memorial Day holiday card.  First post is 12:50 p.m.

Marine biologist Nancy Black gets probation for feeding orcas

Nine years after she lassoed a piece of floating whale blubber in the marine sanctuary, federal prosecutors got their pound of flesh from marine biologist Nancy Black on Tuesday.

Black, co-owner of Monterey Bay Whale Watch, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in San Jose to one misdemeanor charge of feeding orcas in the wild. Once facing felony charges, a potential 25-year prison sentence and the loss of her license and research vessel, Black's plea agreement represented a huge step back by the Justice Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Schenk could not be reached for comment Tuesday. He and fellow prosecutor Christopher Hale of the Justice Department's Environmental Crimes Section, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, have declined comment in the past.

Black, 50, will be sentenced Aug. 6. Her attorneys, including Monterey lawyer Larry Biegel, said the settlement calls for no jail time or forfeiture of her boat, captain's license or future research opportunities. She will serve up to five years probation and 300 hours of community service, and pay a fine to be determined by U.S. District Judge Edward Davila.

Through Biegel, Black declined comment Tuesday. The attorney said he and co-counsel, including Mark Vermeulen of San Francisco, agreed to reserve comment until Aug. 6.

"We're happy it's almost over," said Biegel. "Both sides feel good about that and we'll have a lot to say at sentencing."

Black was perhaps at the pinnacle of her career when she was swamped by the tsunami of a federal investigation. In addition to her work as a whale-watch operator, she was conducting research, cataloging migrations of gray, humpback and blue whales and assisting a heady list of film crews documenting unprecedented killer whale attacks in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

On April 25, 2004, she was on the bay with the Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures organization filming an episode of its PBS "Ocean Adventures" series, "The Gray Whale Obstacle Course."

A Google search of Cousteau and Black still reveals a copyrighted photograph of what happened next.

A mother gray whale had lost her battle to protect her calf, and orcas were shredding its blubber in the water. A piece floated near Black's boat in choppy waters. To keep it nearby, she threaded a line through the thin blubber and left it floating. One end of the line remained in the boat.

With a video camera on the end of a pole, she captured the underwater feeding when an orca snatched the food and shared it with others in the pod. The action was also filmed and photographed by Cousteau's crews.

In Tuesday's plea agreement, Black admits she repeated the process that day and again a year later during another killer whale attack. While she had a permit allowing her to approach whales on her research vessel, the Black Dog, it did not permit her to collect and secure blubber in the water.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintains the activity could alter whales' feeding patterns in the future.

An investigator for that agency learned of the activity while investigating another incident in which Black's whale-watching crew allegedly got too close to a humpback whale. Her research permit does not apply to her commercial vessel.

Cousteau, son of famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, was investigated but never charged. After sweating out the lengthy investigation, during which computers were seized from her home, Black was charged with two misdemeanor counts of feeding the whales, as well as felony charges of doctoring a video of the humpback episode and lying about it.

The felony charges were dismissed as part of her plea, though a Justice Department press release indicates she admitted in court documents that she could have impeded a federal investigation by not informing the agent she edited the video before turning it over.

Black is a sometimes polarizing figure on Monterey Bay. Some whale watch operators complain her boats are aggressive on the water, cutting off other vessels and approaching sea mammals too closely.

But many marine scientists, here and in Oregon and Washington, came to her defense, characterizing her as a valuable researcher and the government's investigation and prosecution as overkill.

The plea agreement does not prohibit Black from conducting research in the future. It does, however, forbid her from making money commercially from film or photos taken during that work.

From the archives 2005: Top 10 Habs - No. 9 Dickie Moore: The kid from Park Ex

RED FISHER, The Gazette

From the archives 2005: Top 10 Habs - No. 9 Dickie Moore: The kid from Park Ex

Dickie Moore in 1961.

file photo / Montreal Star

Editor's note: This story was originally published in January 2005.

When the NHL lockout finally ends, Red Fisher will begin his 50th season on the Canadiens beat. In this feature series, which concludes today, Red picks his Top 10 Habs from the last half-century.

MONTREAL - It is possible, likely perhaps, that Dickie Moore still remembers this visit to Maple Leaf Gardens. It was late in the second period when Henri Richard moved in to check Frank Mahovlich, who was in control of the puck deep in the Toronto zone. Mahovlich had all kinds of room to deal off the puck to linemates on either side of the rink but, being the fierce competitor he always was, had been growing increasingly frustrated in a game the Leafs were losing. So instead of passing to a linemate either to the left or right, Mahovlich released a shot at the oncoming Richard. Blood poured from an ugly gash in Richard's face.

In a matter of only seconds, both benches emptied, with Moore leading the charge onto the ice. What ensued was a bloody affair before some semblance of order was restored - with the promise of more ugliness to erupt in the third period.

Canadiens general manager Frank Selke, who once described Moore as the best junior player in Canada, had other ideas. He raced down to the Canadiens room between periods.

"Don't put out Moore in the third period," Selke told coach Toe Blake.

"Why not?" Blake asked.

"I don't want any more trouble out there," Selke said. "We're in control of this game. We don't need any more of the kind of trouble we had after Moore and Mahovlich got into it."

Moore was on the ice for the start of the third period and, happily for everyone, starting with Blake, there were no further incidents.

Moore, the player, was like the Park Extension district in which he grew up: tough and relentless. His heart was almost too big for his own good. Anything less than playing all-out was unacceptable. He was a grim, unflinching athlete with strong ideas of what was needed to win. If fighting was needed, Moore would fight. If playing with pain was needed, nobody had to ask him twice. He won consecutive scoring titles during the late 1950s (Henri Richard finished No. 2 in 1958, Jean Beliveau in '59) even though his wrist was in a cast for his first Art Ross for the entire second half of the season.

Speed wasn't among Moore's strong points, but few players performed with more finesse despite bad knees that plagued him almost throughout his career. This bad:

The Canadiens held their training camp in Victoria, one year during the early '60s. Moore and I were strolling through the hotel's greenhouse one afternoon.

"What's that funny sound we're hearing?" I asked Moore.

"What sound?"

"Don't you hear it? That cracking noise we've been hearing for the last few minutes," he was told.

"Oh, that," he said with a laugh. "Those are my knees. Every step I take ..."

He didn't outskate opponents, but his strength in staying one step ahead of them was by out-thinking them. Few players handled the puck as well as he did, and hardly anyone was better one-on-one against a goaltender. He was in control of his game, and nobody wore the Canadiens jersey with as much pride.

Even now, Moore can tell you about the night he was sitting in the Forum seats watching Beliveau, who had been brought to Montreal for a three-game tryout, scoring three goals while wearing Dickie's No. 12.

"I was hurt," Moore recalled. "He was wearing my sweater and the guy was scoring three goals. Anybody would have been mad, watching a guy wearing his sweater scoring three goals."

Moore became even more incensed when coach Dick Irvin approached him

after the game: "Do you think you can wear that sweater now?" Irvin asked.

Moore overcame adversity better than most players, but what he couldn't handle was the frustration of not playing, which happened - as it does to most players - late in their careers.

The Canadiens were in Chicago on this night, only a few days before Christmas. The cracks had widened in the dynasty that had won five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1955-56 through 1959-60. Maurice (Rocket) Richard had been forced into retirement before the start of the 1960-61 season and Doug Harvey had been shipped to the Rangers after the 1961-62 season. In the two seasons since they had won five in a row, the Canadiens had done well during the regular season, finishing first in their division, but they had been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. It was tight-collar time. The Canadiens were looking for fresh blood and Moore was among the veteran players putting in time on the bench. That night, against Chicago, he had spent most of the game there.

He tapped on my door at 2 a.m.

"You awake?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm always awake at 2 o'clock in the morning. What's up?"

"I'm going home," he said. "I can't take this any longer."

"This" was sitting on the bench.

"I'm going home in the morning," he said. "There's no point hanging around if I'm not playing. I'm not gonna sit on the bench any longer."

"You're quitting the team? Do you want people to remember you as a quitter? If you leave now, that's the way you'll be remembered," he was told. "And face it, Dickie, you're not doing a hell of a lot out there."

"Can't score sitting on the bench," he argued.

"You haven't scored much when you're on the ice, either. Have you talked to Toe about it?"

"I haven't told him I'm going home, but I've made up my mind. If I can't play, I'd much rather be at home with the family," Moore said. "I can handle anything the fans will say about this. They're not sitting on the bench, I am."

We argued about it for the next couple of hours. Finally, Moore said: "OK, here's what I'm gonna do. I'll go with the team to Detroit. If I don't play, I'm gone after we get home. I'm not scoring any goals," he muttered. "I'm playing pretty well when I get on the ice, but I can't buy a goal."

"Try shooting more often," he was told. "Whenever you're on the ice, all you do is pass to Henri (Richard)."

Moore was in the starting lineup two nights later in Detroit. Richard won the faceoff and dropped the puck back to Moore, who skated one stride across centre ice and let fly with a shot at Terry Sawchuk. Goal!

The press box in the old Detroit Olympia was fairly close to the ice. The instant the puck beat Sawchuk, Moore raced down the left side of the rink, swept around behind the net and skated along the right boards, raising his stick as he approached the press box. Later in the game he scored a second goal.

He was to score 24 goals in 67 games that season - his last with the Canadiens. He stayed out of hockey the next season, returned to play 38 games with Toronto, stayed out of hockey for the next two seasons, but answered Scotty Bowman's call in St. Louis and helped the Blues reach the the Stanley Cup final in the first year of expansion.

Moore made it easy for me in my business. He was an achiever. There was always something to write about Moore, but his early morning visit to my hotel room in Chicago never made it to my newspaper. It's never a good idea to get too close to athletes, but his visit was a private matter between friends.

Moore didn't ask me not to mention his visit, and it wasn't necessary to ask. On my part, it was the fair thing to do and "fair" always has been my favourite four-letter word. It's something you feel after working alongside an athlete for many years. It's also a feeling for an athlete and his for you.

It's called trust.

Red Fisher's Top 10 Canadiens

Red's Top 10 Canadiens combined to win 71 Stanley Cups. Here's a look at the players profiled in this feature series:

No. 10: Serge Savard won eight Stanley Cups and was a member of the Big Three on defence with Guy Lapointe and Larry Robinson.

No. 9: Dickie Moore, a six-time Stanley Cup champion, won back-to-back scoring titles during the 1950s.

No. 8: Bob Gainey won five Stanley Cups and was one of the best defensive forwards in NHL history.

No. 7: Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion, a member of six Stanley Cup teams, was the second NHL player to score 50 goals in a season.

No. 6: Defenceman Larry Robinson could do it all - skate, score and fight - en route to six Stanley Cups.

No. 5: Henri Richard won 11 Stanley Cups, an NHL record.

No. 4: Doug Harvey was the best defenceman of his time and played a key role on six Stanley Cup teams.

No. 3: Guy Lafleur, who won three NHL scoring titles, could electrify an audience like no other player with his speed and shot and was on five Stanley Cup teams.

No. 2: The legendary Maurice (Rocket) Richard was more than just a hockey player to Canadiens fans while winning eight Stanley Cups.

No. 1: Jean Beliveau spent 18 seasons with the Canadiens, winning 10 Stanley Cups while displaying unmatched class on and off the ice.

Nothing fragile about wheelchair rugby athletes

Stephanie Myles, The Gazette

MONTREAL - Only a few women in Canada are tough enough – or crazy enough – to play wheelchair rugby.

Alison Levine is one of them.

The 21-year-old from Côte St. Luc is one of 4,000 athletes competing in the 29th annual Défi Sportif event, which starts Monday at Centre Claude Robillard and five other sites around the greater Montreal area.

The Canadian wheelchair rugby championships start Friday and run through the weekend at Centre Pierre-Charbonneau.

Originally called “murderball” by the athletes who invented it in Winnipeg in the mid 1970s, and referred to as “quad rugby” in the U.S., its resemblance to stand-up rugby is really in name only. For one thing, a slightly lighter version of a standard volleyball and not a rugby ball is used.

It’s a sport for significantly disabled athletes now played in 24 countries. Many of them found themselves unable to keep up with the ball-handling skills wheelchair basketball requires. Most are classified as quadriplegic and must have significant impairment to both the upper and lower limbs.

But the name evokes the full-contact nature of wheelchair vs. wheelchair, the tantalizing possibility of having an opponent face-plant on the parquet after a particularly tough hit – or, face-planting yourself.

“People often view people in wheelchairs as kind of fragile. Just getting into my car, or going to the grocery store, I see it,” said Levine, who has a neuromuscular disorder of unknown origin that has progressively robbed her of her mobility.

“And then you play, and you’re able to cream someone and knock them out of their chairs. It’s like you forget; it’s like a level playing field,” she added. “When I go to practice after a bad day, ooohhh, watch out!”

Levine has squared off against national-team players like 41-year-old Garrett Hickling, who has good trunk control, is a big man, and also has silver and bronze medals from the last two Paralympic Games.

“We all try to throw our bodies into it. But he has good abdominal muscles. So when he hits, sometimes you kind of lose your breath a little,” she said. “But afterwards, you’re: ‘Oh, that’s good. That’s good.”

Levine, who studies special care counselling at Vanier College, began noticing symptoms when she was about 12.

Before that, she was an outdoor kid.

“I didn’t find one thing I was really good at, but I played on a city softball team, soccer, played some basketball at school. I was always outside, riding my bike,” she said. “When I started having problems, I searched desperately for a sport to play, because that’s what gets me through my day – getting out there, hitting people, taking out your frustrations, just being active.”

Levine has only been in a wheelchair full-time for about a year. She started with sledge hockey and wheelchair basketball. When she stared playing rugby, she could still walk with the help of crutches and braces.

“When I lost hand ability, basketball became very, very difficult. I couldn’t shoot the ball to the basket, and everyone was doing circles around me,” she said. “So once the hands went, it was rugby time.”

Levine had been with the Montreal team for only three weeks when she was asked to join Team Quebec; her wheelchair basketball background gave her a big head start. She competed in the Défi Sportif once before, in that discipline.

This year, though, the Quebec team moved its training camps to Quebec City. As a full-time student, the logistics were too daunting.

So Levine has had to content herself with local tournaments for now. With the relative lack of teams in the area, participants (which often include players from Ottawa and New Hampshire) are put into one pool then allocated by their classification (which ranges from 0.5 to the most functional, 3.5) to various squads.

Levine is classified as a 1.5. But because she’s a woman, there’s an 0.5 discount on that, which puts her at 1.0.

“Physically, women have less strength in the shoulders. It’s a little weird, but if you matched me against a another 1.5 guy, who was also trying to make the national team, he’s going to be better,” she said. “Plus, they’re bigger.”

In the Canadian championships, Levine will compete for Team Quebec B. Their first match will be Friday at 11 a.m.

“The game is a lot more strategic, and that’s also what I love about it,” Levine said. “Everyone’s more severely disabled than in wheelchair basketball, so you have to take into account people’s abilities more when you decide to make a pass or a play.”

As Bears’ pass rush wanes, so do big plays

Published: Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 10:15 a.m. CST

(MCT) — CHICAGO — When it has had a fierce pass rush this season, the Chicago Bears defense has racked up takeaways and chased records for return touchdowns.

Minus the pass rush, the Bears look slow and exposed. The hope has to be that Sunday’s 23-17 overtime loss to the Seahawks at Soldier Field was the result of an athletic quarterback catching them by surprise. The Bears were unable to contain 5-foot-11 Russell Wilson and force him to make plays from the pocket.

The Bears were credited with two sacks in the loss and rank eighth in the NFL with 32 but have only 11 in the last six games after recording 21 in the first six. Sacks are never a be-all, end-all indicator for pass-rush success, but they are big plays that can be momentum changers.

The defense rattled the Vikings’ Christian Ponder with only two sacks in a Nov. 25 blowout, forcing an interception for Chris Conte on a successful rush by tackle Nate Collins. But the week before there was little pressure on the 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick and the defense has not produced more than two sacks since the Oct. 22 meeting with the Lions.

“I thought we had good pressure last week,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said Monday at Halas Hall. “We didn’t this week. So everything you guys are going to ask me about (Sunday’s) game, yeah, you’re right, the pass rush wasn’t there, we didn’t contain the quarterback the way we needed to. We didn’t get off on third downs the way we needed to. We didn’t take the ball away as much as we needed to — all of those things I said earlier, yeah, you’re right.”

It’s easier for the Bears to attack an opposing offensive line at Soldier Field, where the crowd noise can play a factor. Three of their final four games are on the road, but on Dec. 16, the Bears host the Packers, who have allowed 39 sacks, second-most in the league. The Bears play at Arizona the next week and the Cardinals are No. 1 with 48 sacks allowed.

The Bears made upgrading the pass rush a top offseason priority as they sought help for Julius Peppers, who turns 33 next month. Peppers has a team-high seven sacks. His base salary climbs to $12.9 million next season and his salary-cap number rises to $16,383,333. That’s the big price the Bears had to pay when they signed him in 2010 to help fix a defense that fell apart without a consistent pass rush.

Seahawks rookie defensive end Bruce Irvin said Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli flew to have dinner with him in Morgantown, W.Va., the night before the draft in April.

“I know they were going to take me,” Irvin said. “I just know. I talked to Marinelli. They flew in the night before the draft.”

But the Seahawks surprised by selecting Irvin at No. 15 and the Bears instead opted for Shea McClellin at No. 19. McClellin has pitched in and the biggest strides have been made by Corey Wootton, who replaced Israel Idonije as starter three games ago. Wootton has 41/2 sacks and has also played the run well. Tackle Henry Melton has six sacks and Idonije has five.

The bottom line is the Bears must ramp up the pressure in order to come up with the big plays that highlighted the first half of the season.

“We had an opportunity throughout the game,” Smith said. “We haven’t played many defensive games like that at Soldier Field and we won’t play, hopefully, any more.”
