She’s The Boss

The women of the B.E. 100s are setting a new standard of excellence -- and changing the face of business

1978, the Torrance, California-based ACTo1 Group (No. 3 on the BE INDUSTRIAL/SERVICE 100 list) has grown from a single office with a desk and phone to 90 offices across the country. In 2002, ACTo1 brought in $483 million in revenue. The company has multiple divisions that provide services such as recruitment, employment placement, and training to such corporate clients such as Ford Motor Co., Sempra Energy, and the Gap.

Howroyd dreamed up the idea of starting her own firm while temping for her brother-in-law at Billboard magazine, where she discovered she had a knack for s
olving office problems. “[The Billboard staff] never wanted me to go,” she says. “They were amazed that I knew what needed to happen in an office.” Howroyd also learned something else about herself while working at Billboard. “I realized that I enjoyed … helping people get temporary and permanent jobs. When someone told me to hang out my own shingle, I took the chance.”

Armed with $967 in personal savings and $533 in loans from her mother and brother, Howroyd leased a small office and then got on the phone to drum up business. She called one company after another in order to introduce herself to area employers and even offered to return their money if they used ACTo1’s services and an employee didn’t work out. With such high stakes, she had to know that the person she was sending to a particular company was the right person for the job. The only way she could make sure of was to get to know applicants personally, a task that her company was better able to do than bigger, slow-footed rivals.

But for Howroyd, finding the perfect match between employer and employee was not just about pleasing clients and making money. From her experiences in high school and at Billboard, Howroyd knew that people would perform better in working environments that capitalized on their personal strengths. Her philosophy: Never compromise who you are personally for who you wish to be professionally. “This value became rooted deep inside me from my childhood, seeing working people whose work did not afford them dignity,” she says. “It is a core value of how I do business today. I believe in empowering people.”

While it’s impossible for Howroyd to know all 60,000 job candidates that the company works with today, she insists that her 290 full-time employees use the same personal networking skills to land employees in the right jobs that helped her net her first clients. She also places an emphasis on community involvement. In 2001, the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council named ACTo1 Supplier of the Year, not only because of the company’s success with placing employees in jobs but because of its involvement with Atlanta-area business and community organizations.

While ACTo1 is no longer a small business, she stresses the “human” in human resources by creating an atmosphere more like those at smaller companies: “ACTo1 is still the ‘great big little company’ serving two clients — the company and the employee we’re

CLOSED HEAD INJURY: How is the brain damaged in a Closed Head Injury after an auto or motorcycle accident?

When the head or skull is struck by a blunt force or a sudden, violent movement, the brain moves within the skull. This sudden, forceful movement can create microscopic tears in the brain tissue, and it can rupture blood vessels, causing what is called "brain bleeds."  As the brain hits the skull, it becomes bruised, leading to swelling and pressure, causing neural damage which interrupts nerve signals to the nerve core of the body.

Chicago Cubs third baseman, and Obi Won Kenobi-style only hope, Aramis Ramirez is expected to begin taking live batting practice this Friday.

“Once we get to that stage, it’s just a matter of when he goes out for a rehab assignment,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said of Ramirez. “He’s going to have to go out and play and get some at-bats. It’s been too long a time.”

The first step is live batting practice. Ramirez has been able to handle soft toss.

“He’s feeling much better, and he’s been working and we can start seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with this thing,” Piniella said. cubs.com.

As we said previously, getting Ramirez back before the All-Star break is a stretch at this point.

'Bertie Wins Tiffany Lass to Top Fair Grounds Undercard

(from Fair Grounds report)
Richard, Bertram, and Elaine Klein’s Get Ready Bertie stamped herself as another filly of Oaks quality with an impressive two-length tally in Saturday’s $100,000 Tiffany Lass Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on “Road to the Derby” undercard at Fair Grounds Race Course.

The last three winners of the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) have all raced at the preceding Fair Grounds meet, and the Tiffany Lass is the first two-turn prep for the Fair Grounds Oaks (gr. II) to be run March 10 on Louisiana Derby (gr. II) day.

Get Ready Bertie’s late run completed the one-mile distance n 1:39.52, and the filly returned $5.80 to win.

 “Her mother (De Bertie) was a top quality filly,” said winning trainer Steve Flint. “I told Robby (Albarado) before the race, ‘She’s got a job to do. Let her get it done.’

“She’s one of these advancing fillies. Every time we run her, she steps up. She still has a lot to prove, but this was her first step. I think I’ll wait and run her next in the  Fair Grounds Oaks. I think I’ll give her a little more time.”

Longshot Dawn After Dawn held on for second at the wire after dueling for the lead early. Dawn After Dawn nosed out Stage Stop for the place.

Get Ready Bertie, who finished second in the Demoiselle (gr. II) at Aqueduct in her most recent start, won for the third time in eight career starts and increased her lifetime earnings to more than $162,000.

Albarado’s win in the Tiffany Lass was his second stakes win of the day, after he piloted the Roger Smith-owned Smitty’s Sunshine to victory in the Dr. A.B. Leggio Memorial Stakes.

The Tiffany Lass and the featured Lecomte Stakes (gr. II) were two of five $100,000 stakes on the card.

Leggio Memorial
In the Leggio Memorial for filly and mare sprinters on the turf, Smitty’s Sunshine shattered the stakes record in a gate-to-wire victory.

Smitty’s Sunshine, trained by Morris Nicks, paid $4.60 to win and covered about 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:03.17, more than three-fifths off the previous stakes record of 1:03.82 by Hallowed Dreams in 2001. She finished 3 3/4 lengths in front of Follow the Lite, who was 2 1/4 lengths to the good of third-place finisher No Fair.

Col. E.R. Bradley Handicap
In the Col. E.R. Bradley Handicap for older horses on the turf, E.J. Sukley’s Purim outfooted Team Block’s Fort Prado by a head in a hard-fought stretch duel.

“He’s got speed, but he (settled) back for me real nice,” said winning jockey Jesus Castanon. “When (Fort Prado) came up to us, (Purim) felt him and then he gave me another gear."

Purim, who toured the about a mile and a sixteenth distance over the firm Stall-Wilson turf course in 1:43.32, paid $7.60 to win. The Tom Proctor trainee won for the seventh time in 15 lifetime starts and upped his career earnings to more than $492,000.

Fort Prado was a length ahead of third-place finisher Cloudy’s Knight.

Colonel Power Stakes
In the Colonel Power Stakes for sprinters, Gary and Don Holcomb’s Venomous held off a late surge from Clock Stopper to win by a neck.

Venomous, trained by Patrick Mouton and ridden by E.J. Perrodin, returned $21.20 to win and completed the six furlongs in 1:09.58, the fastest time at the distance this meet. The win was the sixth in 16 career starts for Venomous, increasing his career bankroll above $210,000.

Clock Stopper was two lengths ahead of third-place finisher Meteor Impact.

University of Delaware Volleyball Team Drops Second Straight Home Match With 3-0 Loss To Hofstra

Release: 10/05/2013
Files available Print RSS

NEWARK, Del. -- Kelsie Wills recorded 14 kills while Emily Burke added 12 as the Hofstra University volleyball team posted a three-set victory (25-23, 25-19, 25-22) over the University of Delaware Saturday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.

The Pride won their second consecutive match while improving to 12-6 overall and 3-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Blue Hens, who dropped their second straight following its conference opening victory at Towson, fell to 9-8 overall and 1-2 in the league.

Kaitlyn Krause and Hannah Klemm combined for 37 assists for the Pride, which hit .243 for the match and recorded 12 blocks.

Blue Hen sophomore Katie Hillman led the Blue Hens with 14 kills and while committing just three attack errors as she hit an impressive .407 on the night. Mackenzie Olsen handed out 31 assists for Delaware, Jill Meyers made a team-high seven blocks, and Ariel Shonk had 10 digs.

“We were better tonight than on Friday, but we had no answers with our outside hitting,” said Blue Hen head coach Bonnie Kenny. “We need to practice our serving and passing, because our offense was pretty non-existent and we won’t win many matches hitting like that. I thought we did a better job of handling Burke in the third set, but we need to get our offense going, and that starts with passing.”

Delaware led by as many as four points in the opening set, and was still up 22-21 following a block by Hillman and Chandler Bryant. However the Pride then won four of the next five points to take the set. The teams were then knotted at 17-17 in the second frame, before Hofstra went on a five-point run and eventually won the set by six.

The Pride also led by a slim 19-17 margin the third set, before taking five straight points. Delaware battled back with five consecutive points of its own, before Wills posted a kill to end the match.

 Match Notes:
• Hofstra snapped a five-matching losing streak to UD in Newark
• Delaware has lost consecutive matches for just the second time this season
• The Blue Hens hit just .111 on the night
• Hofstra held a 12-9 block advantage
• Hillman reached double figures in kills for the 13th time in the last 15 matches
• Delaware is back in action on Friday with a 7 p.m. match at William & Mary

Big Guns Reunited; & Asham Skates Again

After a much-needed day off Sunday, the Rangers were back on the ice early Monday for their morning skate, preparing for this evening's battle with the Carolina Hurricanes at The Garden. Having lost three in a row on the road, the Rangers are certainly hopeful a return to the friendly surroundings of Madison Square Garden gets them back on track tonight.

Likely the biggest news to come out of the morning skate was that when the team did line rushes, the Big Guns---Rick Nash, Brad Richards, and Marian Gaborik---were skating on the same line. Head coach John Tortorella---who will not speak with reporters until closer to game time---has not used this powerful threesome together in quite some time, in fact separating them for most of the season in an attempt to spread out the scoring.

But with the team struggling mightily to score goals---they have just two in their past three games---Tortorella seems set to load up his No. 1 line.

"The last time we played together we had some success," noted Nash, who leads the team with 23 points and is tied for the team lead with nine goals. "It was early in the season and we were still trying to find one another. But when the three of us play together we have to make sure we are responsible, play good defense, and get our offense from that."

As for what to expect from the Big Three being reunited tonight, Nash said that it's hard to say because he, Richards, and Gaborik do not have a long history together.

"I don't think we've played together long enough that we have each other figured out," explained Nash. "When you look at some of the good lines they've played together for years, or months, whatever it might be. But I did think early on we were having some success, and each game we were getting better."

Richards has centered for both Nash and Gaborik individually throughout the season---particularly Nash---so there is common ground for him. Even on the power play it has been rare to see all three stars on the ice at the same time this season.

Gaborik is right behind Nash and Ryan Callahan with eight goals, and his 17 points are third most on the team. However he has scored only one goal in his last 14 games. Richards has four goals---two in the past five games---and 15 points so far this season.

In loading up his top line, Tortorella has moved Carl Hagelin alongside Derek Stepan and Callahan on the second line. All three of those players have been among the team's most consistent this season. In fact Stepan and Callahan have scored four of the Rangers' last six goals covering four games. Callahan is tied for the team lead in goals, while Stepan ranks second in points with 18. Hagelin is 7-8-15 and playing with tremendous confidence and energy on a nightly basis.

No matter the lines and the lineup---which seems to be unchanged, meaning Stu Bickel and Matt Gilroy will be scratched again, and Henrik Lundqvist will start in goal---the Rangers need to find a way to get their overall game back on track. And they need to stop their losing streak immediately.

"Tonight is just go out and play," explained center Brian Boyle. "We believe in one another. We know what we are capable of. We just have to go out and do it. I think that will collectively add to the confidence in the group and help us get our swagger back."

Veteran winger Arron Asham was skating again with the team Monday morning, the first time he had done so since practicing last Wednesday in Winnipeg. Asham reported afterwards that he had to shut it down for a few days after their skate in Winnipeg, but that his back felt better Monday and he is hopeful of returning to the lineup soon.

"We'll see how today goes, but it's just a matter of getting in game shape," explained Asham, who has not played since February 19th due to a sore back. "It probably wasn't smart on my part to try (in Winnipeg) because we had been on the plane for two and a half hours, and then we get into Winnipeg and it's not the warmest place. It was probably dumb on my part to try and skate. But now my back feels a lot better."

Asham said that he has never had back problems before, but the lower lumbar region of his back became extremely stiff and sore during that February 19th game against the Canadiens and it has debilitated him since. Though his back is not 100% healed, Asham feels that once he has his legs back in shape, he'll be able to play through any remaining discomfort.

"It hasn't been fun sitting in the stands and watching the team go through ups and downs," stated Asham. "I want to be in there and do my part to hopefully get some wins under our belt."

What do you think of reuniting Nash, Richards, and Gaborik on the same line tonight? And what of Asham's hopeful return soon? Share your comments below.

Purple Haze

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/02-tongue/990415/purple.html">

March 27, 1999 @ 11:30am I called my mom from work to let her know I was finally gonna go through with getting my tongue pierced. It took me a year to finally decide that Friday was the day. I did a lot of searching the web and when I found BME i pretty much stuck with that site. Thanks for all the info BME.

Friday, March 27 - Called mom from work, told her I was getting my tongue pierced. She was stocked and called my dad. I Called Purple Haze (a piercing place in South Carolina) to see what it was going to cost and if I was going to have to make an appointment. Answers-42$ w/Tax and I was welcome to just "walk in". I got off of work at 4 and drove home to find my dad bitching about the facts of me actually going through with it. I thought hey I am 18 who cares what they think. He was tryin to get me to go through with the navel instead.....but I didn't give in. I took a shower and waited until he left to bowl..... As soon as he was gone I was too... OFF to Purple Haze I go! The drive was short and I was nervous....When I arrived I walked in to find a group of people with just about everything visible pierced....One of the ladies stepped forward asked what she could help me with.... I said Yea I am here to get my tongue pierced..she said ok All I need is some ID. So I showed her, paid in full......and was on my way to the back room with Matt. Matt asked if I had any questions at all, I responded with a NO. He said OK well this is some listerine, and he handed me a small cup and told me to rinse my mouth out really good and come back. So I followed his instructions and rinsed really well and reported back to the room. The room was sorta small maybe 10 by 10....and had a chair in the middle (like a dentist chair). I watched MATT pulled everything out of sealed packages and I made sure it was safe. I sat down and a lady put some type of red gel on my tongue to take the sting go away when the needle went through..... As I sat there I tried relaxing and Matt started playin with the chair making it go up & down! I was Hmm MATT stop... He laughed and said "I was only tryin to help". Then the lady marked a black dot on my tongue like they do when you get your ears pierced, she handed me a mirror and asked if the placement was OK, I nodded yes. Matt then took the clamps out (they looked like roach clips) Not that I would Know lmao. And he clamped my tongue (I couldn't really feel it). He then said ok you will feel a sharp pain for 1/2 a second, now take a deep breath. DEEP BREATH And the next thing I knew Matt said OK I am removing the clamps but I need you to leave your tongue out so I can screw the ball on the bottom. So I did and then he was finished... It was over just like that WOW. and to think I am scared to DEATH of needles. I got up and had to rinse one more time with Listerine (Which is now my new bestfriend). Once that was finished they handed me a sheet of paper that told me what I needed to do AFTER CARE Which BME has listed....& they handed me a small bottle of listerine and I walked out the door with a smile on my face and headed to the store where I bought liquid Tylenol, ice pops, Listerine and pudding. March 27- Woke up ...... rinsed...tongue wasn't swollen WooHOOoo tried a milk shake, that didn't work ..... OUCH.. sucked on some ice...bit down OUCH again ... that time that was the barbell...... for dinner I had pudding....Rinsed March 28-Woke up to find my tongue a little swollen....Rinsed..... Had pizza for dinner (cut into small pieces like a baby) but I still ate it.. Rinsed.....Went to my Aunts WOW the look on her face... hehhe I got asked some dumb questions.. hmmm ex. How come it doesn't rust??? or does liquid go through the hole?Umm DUH Hello!!! If u have your ears pierced and u take a shower does water go through that?? Umm NO!

March 29 - Went to work showed everyone I worked with...... I heard just about everything from Ewwwwwww to Oh wow that's so cool, does it hurt? Rinsed after I tired to eat .....that didn't work..... Came home to find my other aunt now knows... He was shocked and wanted to know what made me do it..... My Answer.....I wanted to be DIFFERENT..... and did it work.. Yes?? Her answer-Your already different.....

Well as the days go by I will let ya know what happens.....Right now I am a little swollen and sore but I am still glad I did it

March 30 - Woke up sore and swollen, WHOA my tongue was huge! Rinsed right away, went to Wal-Mart and bought Gly-Oxide drops. Its an Antiseptic Oral Cleanser. Tastes NASTY! But helped a lot. All it is, is nasty azz tasting liquid drops that u place right on your tongue and let it set there for a few minutes and then u spit it out. What its purpose is, is to heal any minor mouth or gum irritations. For lunch I had a pudding treat with a coke (rinsed of course afterwards) and for dinner that I night I had an ice pop (once again rinsed).

March 31 - Alarm went off, woke up and walked to the bath room, swelling went down but it was still a little sore (guess my tip is DON'T Play with it when u first get it)! I rinsed and got already for work. I am still having alittle trouble saying my TH's like the or that. For lunch I had a chicken sandwich (OUCH) I bit my barbell.. Don't try to chew that either, it doesn't work! And for dinner I had soup. Later that night I had to baby-sit and once again I heard more dumb azz questions. EX. Well, that ever rust??? Does your mouth water 24/7??? Came home at 11pm rinsed and headed eo bed.

April 1 - WooOHoOO I can speak, tongues no longer sore nor swollen, I am doing great now. Rinsed before I left to work and for lunch I had SUBWAY MMMMM I can finally chew, I am blessed again! (rinsed) For dinner I had another sandwich, (rinsed). I called my best friend to let her know I can talk and then off to bed I went.

April 2 - Woke up rinsed got dressed for work. After work I went back to Purple Haze (time to get a smaller barbell). The lady that did the change out had some trouble, I couldn't stick my tongue out far enough for her to replace the barbell. As she put the new one through (finally) I hear a strange noise, kinda like a tearing sound (that was my tongue) Ewww LOL. When she was finished they kept my old barbell, I thought to myself (NASTY) That means after its cleaned its going into someone else's mouth... On my way home I was playin with it, I could hardly tell it was there (kinda miss the longer one). I drove to the Navy Base afterwards and hung out with a few friends...

~~~ As of today, there are time I check to make sure its tightened because I can hardly tell its there. Honestly I don't rinse all the time like I had been. And I am done with those drops I mentioned earlier. I can eat real food now and I show everyone, its so Wicked! My advice to those of you that want it done, go do it.... But make sure u check out the place to make sure its clean and take good care of the fresh piercing. I can't wait to see my man in GA ~~~

2013: Special Focus: Diabetes, Depression & Distress

According to the American Diabetes Association, people living with diabetes are at greater risk for depression than people without diabetes. The shock of a diabetes diagnosis and the daily challenge of managing diabetes can take a toll on an individual’s mental well-being and cause distress. Both depression and distress can negatively impact the patient’s ability to engage in self management education and behaviors and to follow the medical treatment established by their health team. To address the important connection between diabetes, depression and distress and the impact on self management, the Foundation awarded 4 three-year, $450,000 grants for the following projects:

  • Health Choice Network of Florida, a Federally Qualified Health Center serving Miami, Florida will integrate behavioral services and care navigation into the diabetes care of high-risk patients diagnosed with diabetes and depression. Project leader: Terisa James. (read more >>)
  • The University of Michigan will evaluate and compare the effectiveness of diabetes self-management and psychosocial support offered at African American churches in Detroit through either a parish peer leader or a parish nurse, and compare those approaches to diabetes self- management education alone. Project leader: Gretchen Piatt. (read more >>)
  • University of Colorado will develop and implement a program to enhance the ability of Federally Qualified Health Centers and primary care practices in the Denver area to provide coordinated, patient-centered care for patients with diabetes and additional mental and behavioral health needs through both clinic- and community-based services. Project leaders: Ross Glasgow / Bethany Kwan. (read more >>)
  • East Carolina University will design and evaluate a unique collaborative, stepped care and “treat to target” intervention for patients in rural eastern North Carolina who have both uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and co-morbid distress and/or depression. Project leader: Skip Cummings. (read more >>)

2011: Special Focus: African American Women (Completed 2013)

African American women represent one of the highest-risk groups of type 2 diabetes in terms of prevalence and disease burden. In November 2010, Together on Diabetes issued a special request for proposals to encourage, identify and promote new and evidence-based approaches to empowering African American women to control their diabetes while taking into account the opportunity they have to impact the health of their families and communities. Each of the following organizations received two-year $300,000 grants:

  • Black Women's Health Imperative worked with clinical and faith-based partners, received a grant to implement a comprehensive self-management, social support and empowerment program for African American women age 40 and older and their families living in three wards in the District of Columbia. Project Leader: Valerie Rochester. (read more >>)
  • East Carolina University implemented a behaviorally centered "small changes" approach and care navigation delivered by lay health worker teams in four rural communities in eastern North Carolina. Project Leader: Doyle Cummings. (read more >>)

El Alamein (Anime Edition) *PRE-ORDER*

$44.95 CAD

A sequel to Arclight's deckbuilding game Barba*Rossa (ばるば★ろっさ), El*Alamein depicts the first battle of El Alamein during WWII, as the Axis powers thrust through Africa to conquer Alexandria. Like its predecessor, the artwork in El*Alamein consists of scantily clad anime girls, although a historical edition featuring photographs is also available.

Although it's technically possible to use the cards in both sets together, El*Alamein is first and foremost a game on its own, and is better described as a "compatible sequel" than a standalone expansion.

Spotted: Sinful Bewitched Collection for Halloween

I spotted a small Sinful Colors Halloween display at Walgreens today, so I took a quick picture and of course picked up a couple of the lone glitter polish called Pumpkin Spice! The collection is called Bewitched, and it includes 4 shades of polish and three nail art stripers. None of the other items looked unique to me, and I'm not sure if they're new or repromotes. The other shades are Purple Let's Talk, Courtney Orange, and Black on Black. The purple and orange are shimmers, and the black looked like a black creme.

Pumpkin Spice has a clear base and is packed full of small gold foil glitter and larger red glitter. It doesn't really scream Halloween to me, but it is very sparkly and pretty. With the right base color, a Halloween look is certainly possible, and I think it would also work nicely for a Christmas look.

Below shows two coats applied over a white nail wheel.

A look at the bottle in macro.

  1. It looks similar to China Glaze - Electrify, but with more red glitter. Really pretty, either way!

  2. I was going to say the same thing about CG since I own it. I may actually go for the purple.

  3. I love the pumpkin spice color! I dont have any of these colors from SC so I may just pick them all up. I need fall color polish anyways, mine are all to bright ;)

  4. they needed orange instead of red -.-"

Feel free to comment or just say hello! While I don't always have time to respond to each comment, I do read and appreciate all of them.

Syracuse Crunch

Crunch Top Marlies, But Playoff Hopes Dashed

By Jeremy Houghtaling

The Syracuse Crunch pulled out a win, but their playoff hopes were dashed.

Joel Vermin netted the game-winner in the fifth round of the shootout, as the Crunch topped the Toronto Marlies, 3-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday. Both Utica and Bridgeport also earned points to mathematically eliminate Syracuse from earning a spot in the Calder Cup playoffs.

“We knew it was going to be a tough stretch and we needed a (lot) of help to make it happen,” Crunch head coach Rob Zettler said. “We put ourselves in this position. … It was good to get the win, but it’s certainly disappointing that we’re in this position and not in the playoffs.”

AHL Game Night 4-8-16: Devils at Crunch

Syracuse leaves a critical point on the rink.

SYR-3 (SO)

Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 32 shots and 1 of 3 to convert in the penalty shot session for the Shootout loss.

First Period
SYR Gourde, (14) (Erne, Richard), 9:29 (PP)
ALB O’Neill, (12) (Lorito, Novak), 12:10

Second Period
SYR Erne, (14) (Gourde, Witkowski), 5:26
ALB Lorito, (18) (Lappin, O’Neill), 13:23

Third Period
ALB Kujawinski, (5) (Rooney), 2:05
SYR Richard, (11) (Vermin, DeAngelo), 5:35

ALB- Thompson

Adam Erne and Yanni Gourde were the game's first and second stars.

Syracuse falls 7 points back of Utica and Bridgeport in the playoff chase with both teams holding a game in hand on the Crunch. At this point, to make the postseason, it's pretty much going to take Syracuse winning out and one of those other two clubs losing out. Both scenarios seem incredibly unlikely.

Stephens, Cirelli Get First Taste of Pro Hockey with Crunch

By Jeremy Houghtaling

There were two new faces on the ice for Syracuse Crunch practice Tuesday.

Mitchell Stephens and Anthony Cirelli, two Tampa Bay Lightning picks from the 2015 draft, took the ice for the first time in Syracuse after signing amateur tryouts with the Crunch this week. The split practice involved lots of shooting and possession drills for the two centers, who stuck together throughout most of the workouts.

Although Stephens and Cirelli will likely return to their respective junior teams next season, the Lightning organization wanted both players to get a sample of the game at the pro level.

“They’re two smart hockey players,” Crunch head coach Rob Zettler said. “They both have another year of junior left, but we wanted to get them in here and give them a taste of pro hockey. We’ll see -- I’m not sure -- whether they’ll play or not. We’ll see what happens over the course of the next five games.”

Crunch's Playoff Hopes Take Hit After Loss to Americans

By Jeremy Houghtaling

Coming into the weekend, the Syracuse Crunch were on a five-game roll and four points of out a playoff spot.

After posting a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Friday, the Crunch were unable to turn things around in a 5-1 loss to the Rochester Americans at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday. The Utica Comets, who are directly ahead of Syracuse for third place in the North Division, won both of their games and lead the Crunch by eight points.

Although the Crunch and Comets meet Sunday and two more times in the final six games of the regular season, Syracuse’s playoff hopes have already taken a huge hit.

“We put ourselves in a tough spot,” Crunch assistant captain Jeff Tambellini said. “Now we need a lot of help. Not only do we have to win every game, but we have to get a ton of help. It’s not the spot we wanted to put ourselves in, but we’re in it now and we’re going to go down swinging.”

AHL Game Night: 4-2-16 Americans at Crunch

Crunch playoff hopes evaporate against Rochester.

Adam Wilcox allowed 4 goals on 31 shots for the loss.

First Period
RCH O'Dell, (24) (Goulakos, Rodrigues), 19:10

Second Period
SYR Drouin, (11) (Peca, Taormina), 3:39 (PP)
RCH Bailey, (18) (Sdao, Donovan), 6:02
RCH Goulakos, (1) , 11:55

Third Period
RCH Bailey, (19) (Schneider), 15:19
RCH Baptiste, (12) (Catenacci, D'Amigo), 18:49 (EN)

Matthew Peca was the game's third star.

Syracuse came into this weekend with little or no margin for error, and they couldn't afford this little hard luck 2 game losing streak. They outshot Rochester 43-31 tonight, but the Americans have Vasilevskiy's old Russian national team tandem mate, Andrey Makarov, and he was the first star tonight.

At this hour, the Crunch are 8 points behind Utica for 3rd in the North Division with the Comets holding a game in hand and they're 8 points behind Portland with the Pirates holding a game in hand and Portland set to cross over from their division into Syracuse's spot in the postseason. Barring an absolutely epic collapse by one of those teams coupled with Syracuse just about running the table, that may be all she wrote.

Syracuse closes out their weekend against Utica tomorrow, after which we'll see if they try to use the handful of remaining games in the regular season on a bevy of potential junior ATO's.

Box score from

AHL Game Night: 4-1-16 Marlies at Crunch

Streaking Crunch lose tight one to league's most talented team.

Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 4 goals on 28 shots for the loss.

First Period
SYR Drouin, (10) (Thomas), 18:04
TOR B. Smith, (9) (Kolomatis, Leipsic), 19:00

Second Period
TOR B. Smith, (10) (Stanton, Doherty), 15:01
SYR Taormina, (13) (McGinn, Peca), 19:04 (PP)

Third Period
TOR Leivo, (17) (Arcobello, Brown), 6:56
SYR McGinn, (20) (Peca, Taormina), 14:36 (PP)
TOR Frattin, (12) (Leipsic), 15:28

Matt Taormina and Tye McGinn were the game's second and this stars.

Look at Toronto's lineup. Count the number of guys who have played in the NHL over the past couple of years. Look at their place in the standings. Then, realize the Crunch gave that team all they can handle. It points to a Syracuse team that has started to turn a corner and may be back on their way to being a very good team in the AHL. Unfortunately, at this time of year, there's no such thing as moral victories. The Crunch can't afford to spare any points in the short time left in the season if they'll have any chance of making the postseason. They're 6 points back of Utica for 3rd place in the North Division and 6 points back of Portland, which would crossover and take the 4th playoff spot in the North Division by virtue of the current playoff format. Both the Comets and Pirates also have a game in hand on Syracuse. So, it's going to just about take running the table for Syracuse to make the dance.

Matthew Peca, quietly, has 1 goal and 10 points in the last 10 games.

Ben Thomas got his first pro point on a helper on Jonathan Drouin's game opening marker.

Crunch's Win Streak Snapped By Marlies

By Jeremy Houghtaling

Any Syracuse Crunch momentum was short-lived.

The Crunch’s power play tallied its second game-tying goal with 5:24 remaining in regulation. The Marlies’ Matt Frattin answered 52 seconds later and the goal stood up as the game winner, as Syracuse fell to Toronto, 4-3, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.

The loss snaps the Crunch’s season-high five-game win streak.

“We score a huge goal to tie it at 3-3, the bench was excited, and we were fired up,” Crunch head coach Rob Zettler said. “We just didn’t get the job done on the (next) shift. We’ve got to come back strong. We can’t get scored against there. That’s the way it is.”

Thomas Quickly Settling In With Crunch

By Jeremy Houghtaling

It took a shift or two, but Ben Thomas’ nerves subsided.

Less than a week after signing his entry level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the 19-year-old defenseman made his professional debut with the Syracuse Crunch in a 3-1 win over the Rochester Americans Saturday.

Thomas has quickly settled in on the Crunch’s blue line.

“I was a little nervous going in, obviously, but I thought after I got that first shift out of the way and felt the puck a little bit I settled down,” Thomas said. “I think it went pretty smoothly.”

Crunch Continue to Roll With Win Over Americans

By Jeremy Houghtaling

Rob Zettler wanted to make sure Syracuse didn’t let up.

The Crunch head coach reminded his team of the Americans’ recent games with big third periods. After taking a two-goal lead in the first period, Syracuse buckled down on defense to top Rochester, 3-1, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.

The Crunch has won five straight — a season high — and remain in fourth place in the North Division, two points behind Utica.

“It was very important for our energy and our vibe,” Zettler said of taking the early lead. “I thought we played really well in the first couple periods, but my message to the team was ‘This is how Rochester has been rolling. They don’t come out strong and give up an early lead, but then they come roaring back.’”

AHL Game Night: 3-26-16 Americans at Crunch

Crunch score gigantic win as playoff push continues.

Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 1 goal on 40 shots for the victory. He was a difference maker tonight, and he's now run off 5 straight wins and he's got a .936 save percentage this month. Peaking in crunch time.

First Period
SYR Drouin, (9) (Peca, Martindale), 8:11 (PP)
SYR Gourde, (13) (Ikonen, Martindale), 14:50

Second Period
SYR Martindale, (4) (Gourde, Ikonen), 11:55
RCH Baptiste, (11) (Mormina), 17:50

Third Period

Ryan Martindale, Gudlevskis, and Yanni Gourde were the game's three stars.

Tonight was a crucially important 4-point divisional encounter, and by virtue of the win the 4th place Crunch extended their margin over the 5th place Americans to 6 points with Rochester holding 2 points in hand. Just as importantly, Syracuse stays within 2 points of 3rd place Utica, which beat the tar out of Binghamton tonight. With the divisional crossover rule, the Crunch likely need to catch Utica, which has 2 games in hand on Syracuse and a big ROW advantage. It may take Syracuse darned near running the table to make the postseason, and they're making a good go at just that. Oh, by the way, there's a home-and-home against Utica in 2 weeks. 4/15 and 4/16. Circle it on your calendars and double star it, too.

I really enjoyed this, and was not put off by the time travelling gimmick as other people have mentioned. However, I’m not convinced that this is a great mould-breaking literature either. I won’t try to explain the plot – that would take a small novel all by itself(!) – but suffice to say, there is time travel, but not in a Star Trek way, but convincingly described as a ‘natural’ chromosome disorder. And there is an underlying love story, Henry and Clare, destined to meet at different ages, Clare from age 6 to 82 years-old, and Henry randomly 20, then 24, then last week, then 43 etc., as he jumps back and forward in time; sometimes meeting himself at different ages!!

In the end you feel for both Henry and Clare trying to lead normal lives together; to meet, fall in love, get married, have more or less a linear fashion ;-) I think in the end Niffenegger is using the whole gimmick, for want of a better word, as a way of giving a new insight into these age-old challenges of human-kind. However, for me, what rescues the novel from being a saccharine boy-meets-girl story with a twist, is the number and richness of characters and relationships that AN creates around our heroes; the family, friends & acquaintances, whether they know about the time travel or not, keep the story firmly rooted in the present and the pertinent.

Caught the book in Waterstones, Ipswich. It was one i'd wanted to read for as bit. I looked at it for a bit thinking someone had lost it. My son picked it up and looked inside and that's when we found out about Book Crossing. Plan to pass it on to some friends who are avid readers

The Hobbit (Graphic Novel): An Illustrated Edition of the Fantasy Classic (Abridged / Paperback)

The Hobbit (Graphic Novel): An Illustrated Edition of the Fantasy Classic Cover Image
By J. R. R. Tolkien, David Wenzel (Illustrator), Chuck Dixon (Adapted by)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days

First published in the United States more than seventy-five years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is one of the best-loved books of all time. Now a blockbuster film by Peter Jackson, Academy Award winning director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit was also adapted into a fully painted graphic novel, a classic in its own right, presented here in a new expanded edition.
When Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves embark upon a dangerous quest to reclaim stolen treasure from the evil dragon Smaug, Gandalf the wizard suggests an unlikely accomplice: Bilbo Baggins, a quiet and contented hobbit. Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But in the end it is Bilbo alone who must face the most dreaded dragon in all Middle-earth and a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.

About the Author

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. After serving in the First World War, he embarked upon a distinguished academic career and was recognized as one of the finest philologists in the world. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. He is, however, beloved throughout the world as the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic works as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died on September 2, 1973, at the age of 81.

In later years, as her mother battled mental illness and denied having taken the drug thalidomide known to cause birth defects Cronin felt apart from her family. After the death of a close brother, she turned to alcohol. Eventually, however, she found the strength to set out on her own, volunteering at hospitals and earning a PhD in clinical psychology.

Reflecting with humor and grace on her youth, search for love, and quest for answers, Cronin spins a shimmering story of self-discovery and transformation.

The Actress in High Life eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 372 pages of information about The Actress in High Life.

Having thus, by fitting a few chance hints to each other, brought out a pretty piece of Spanish intrigue, that would have delighted Calderon or Lope de Vega, the colonel emptied the decanter by filling the glasses all round, and each man emptying his glass, the company dispersed.

    I praise God for you, sir:  your reasons at dinner have been sharp
  and sententious; pleasant without scurrility, witty without
  affectation, audacious without impudence, learned without opinion,
  and strange without heresy.—Love’s Labor Lost.

L’Isle, meanwhile, after spending an unwonted time at his toilet, drew himself up to the utmost of the five feet ten which nature had allotted to him, to shake off the stoop which he imagined himself to have contracted during his long hours of languor and suffering.  He then inspected himself most critically in the glass, to see how far he had recovered his usual good looks.  But that truthful counsellor presented to him cheeks still sunken and pallid, and sharpened features.  The clear gray eye looked out from a cavern, and the rich nut-brown hair hung over a brow covered with parchment.  His lean figure no longer filled the uniform which once fitted it so well.  He stood before his glass in no peacock mood of self-admiration; but was compelled to own that he was not, just now at least, the man to fascinate a lady’s eye; so he resolved to take Lady Mabel by the ear, which is, in fact, the surest way to catch a woman.

Lord Strathern kept his promise:  to have no noisy fellows at dinner to-day.  Perhaps an occasional visitor, who hovered near, the gout, made him more readily dispense with his more jovial companions.  The only guest, beside L’Isle, was Major Conway, of the light dragoons.

A party of four is an excellent number for conversation, especially if there be no rivalry among them.  The major had served long in India, but had arrived in the Peninsula only toward the end of the last campaign.  He wished to learn all he could of the country, the people and the war; and nearly five years of close observation, industrious inquiry, and active service had rendered L’Isle just the man to gratify his wishes.  Lord Strathern, too, in a long and varied military career, had seen much, and the old soldier had not failed to lay in a stock of shrewd observation and amusing anecdote.  So that, to a young listener like Lady Mabel, eager to learn and quick to appreciate, two or three hours glided away in striking and agreeable contrast with the more jovial and somewhat noisy festivities of yesterday and many a previous day.  L’Isle made no attempt to engross her attention.  Major Conway had left a wife in England, which shut out any feelings of rivalry with him.  L’Isle was thus quite at his ease, and showed to much advantage; for it is surprising how agreeable some people can make themselves when they are bent upon it.  He combined the qualities

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 100 pages of information about The Jesuit Missions .

While labouring among the Hurons the Jesuits had their minds on the Iroquois.  It was, they thought, within their sphere of duty even to tame these human tigers.  They well knew that such an attempt would involve dangers vastly greater than those encountered in Huronia; but the greater the danger and suffering the greater the glory.  And yet for a time it seemed impossible to make a beginning of missionary work among the Iroquois.  As we have seen, Champlain had made them the uncompromising enemies of the French, and since then all Frenchmen stood in constant peril of their lives from marauding bands in ambush near every settlement and along the highways of travel.  Thus nearly twenty years passed after the arrival of the Jesuits in Canada before an opening came for winning a way to the hearts of these ruthless destroyers.

It came at last, fraught with tragedy.  From 1636 to 1642 Father Isaac Jogues had been engaged in missionary work in Huronia.  He was a man of saintly character, delicate, refined, scholarly; yet he had borne hardships among the Petuns enough to break the spirit of any man.  He had toiled, too, among the Algonquin tribes, and at one time had preached to a gathering of two thousand at Sault Ste Marie.  In 1642 he was chosen to bring much-needed supplies to Huronia—a dangerous task, as in that year large bodies of Iroquois were on the war-path.  And in August he was ascending Lake St Peter with thirty-six Hurons and three Frenchmen in twelve canoes.  His French companions were a labourer and two donnes—Rene Goupil, who, having had some hospital experience, was going to Ste Marie as a surgeon, and Guillaume Couture, a man of devotion, energy, and courage.  The canoes bearing the party were threading the clustered islands at the western end of Lake St Peter, and had reached a spot where the thickly wooded shores were almost hidden from view by tall reeds that swayed in the summer wind, when suddenly out of the reeds darted a number of Iroquois warriors in canoes.  The surprise was complete; three of the Hurons were killed on the spot, and Jogues, Goupil, and Couture, and twenty-two Hurons were taken prisoner.  The raiders then plundered the canoes and set out southward, up the Richelieu, with their prisoners.  At every stopping-place on the way Jogues and the donnes were brutally tortured; finally, in the Mohawk country they were dragged through the three chief towns of the nation, held up to ridicule, beaten with clubs, their fingers broken or lopped off, and their bodies burned with red-hot coals.  Couture had slain a Mohawk warrior during the attack on Lake St Peter; but his courageous bearing so impressed the savages that one of them adopted him in place of a dead relative, and he thus escaped death.  Goupil, after several months among the Mohawks, was brutally murdered.  But Jogues’s life was providentially preserved, and during nearly a year, a year of intense suffering, he went among his persecutors glorying in the opportunity of preaching the Gospel under these hard conditions.

In the Fullness of Time: 32 Women on Life After 50

In the Fullness of Time: 32 Women on Life After 50

I let it slip to a same-aged friend last week that I was really “enjoying” a new book of collected memories and reflections by women --- women like us, more than half-a-century old. Women whose cumulative life experiences are by now at least half-and-half joy and sorrow, but more likely burdened with an excess of the latter, defined and resisted in myriad ways.

But the words had barely left my mouth when I realized I probably hadn’t chosen them very well. How, she retorted a nanosecond later, could I possibly “enjoy” that much immersion in the harsh realities of life’s shorter half? And did I need to know the post-50 trials and tribulations of individuals who have made a far more enduring mark on our generation’s culture than the other 99.9 percent of us?

The truth is, I did immensely “enjoy” IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, and I did need to know the remarkable depth and range of thoughts, feelings, fears, risks, joys, wounds and failures that editors Emily W. Upham and Linda Gravenson invited their 32 literary guests to share.

And indeed they are all guests, gathered at a richly surreal and logistically improbable party --- some of the brightest minds and fullest hearts of the English-speaking female world, exquisitely chosen and sympathetically welcomed.

Some of their names are immediately resonant --- like renowned actresses Claire Bloom and Jane Alexander; women’s activist and cultural icon Erica Jong; medical pioneer Dr. Christine Northrup; and Marta Casals Istomin, widowed by not one but two legendary musicians. Yet they are no greater than first-among-equals alongside more than two-dozen imaginative and passionate sisters from the arts, academia, business, the media, and a robust variety of interwoven vocations, combined as only women like these can do it.

Each fills her unregimented cluster of pages with distinctive colors of mature personality and temperament, sometimes guided by unobtrusive interview questions, but more often holding forth in a cascade of honest yet experienced wisdom, revealing strength and vulnerability as constant companions. Enfolded in that wisdom, even when reluctantly borne, are the permutations and scars of inevitable loss, the ravages of illness and injury (their own and others’), the deaths of loved ones, the erosion of personal resources, the relinquishing of cherished skills, the impending curtailment of freedom, and trading away the familiar for the unknown.

In nearly every case, their impressions of lives honed by the past but being lived very much in the present seem destined for this moment of invitation, distilled in sharp clarity, defying the vagaries and random cruelties of time. That they all come up fighting in their own way is really no surprise.

But if it all stopped there, IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME would amount to no more than a wry sidelong glance at lives toasted with half-empty glasses; we got this far, so what? It’s the other side of the equation that gives greatest meaning to the whole, a side that resoundingly and harmoniously defeats the cynical “so what?” factor. Whether subtle and subversive, feisty and eccentric, or cleverly illuminating, each woman’s revelation of optimism and anticipation about her future affirms the power of taking risks, embracing self-discovery, and daring to take on new “rules of engagement” in the game of life.

While choosing a mere three examples is about the most difficult thing I find myself doing --- for each one in her moment of encounter was “the best” --- I can’t help sharing several highlights along a fascinating journey.

There is the striking immediacy of Marta Casals Istomin, widowed in succession by the deaths of cellist Pablo Casals and conductor Eugene Istomin. Behind the headlines, however, she has long been a renowned arts administrator in her own right, sharing how it is to live in the international spotlight. Having chosen career over children, being an ambiguous figure to her own family, and focusing on the public preservation of both her husbands’ contributions, all adds up to a stoic yet engaged loneliness that’s tinged with nobility rather than martyrdom.

In a softer and more poignant light, I was enthralled by Katherine Weissman’s journey apart from her longtime role as a contributing editor of O, The Oprah Magazine to a place where so many of us fear to go at almost any age --- our own bodies. Without missing a single cringing observation, she catalogues her post-60 physical attributes with the keen and practiced eye of the visual artist she is. Weissman’s avocation for the arts became a potent catalyst for embracing time’s physical changes in our bodies rather than shunning them. Her genius is that she does so without a trace of narcissism; the full-length mirror becomes a doorway to new visions of beauty.

And finally, there is revered Canadian novelist and humanitarian Frances Itani, whose compelling imagery of the love she carries for her deceased younger sister transforms a burden of loss into a flame of passion for serving others in an astonishing variety of contexts. Like my own young niece (just 19 when she died a year ago, in June 2009), Itani’s sister was taken by an aggressive and cruelly debilitating malignant brain tumor called glioblastoma. As brains tumors go, they are the-worst-of-the-worst. Itani could have witnessed this horrific loss of her sibling’s mobility, faculties and personal awareness with the same paralyzed horror that has numbed and divided my own family, but instead she wrapped it up gently in what she describes as an invisibly attached “bundle” of love. From that shining bundle she has drawn inspiration, creative energy, and a powerfully affirmed personal presence for the past 25 years.

What better “last word” for the most memorable anthology of wise voices I have ever read? Thank you, sisters. Every one of you!

Philadelphia and the Civil War Arsenal of the Union

Author: Anthony Waskie, PhD, Edwin C. Bearss
Publisher: The History Press
Copyright: 2011
Pages: 256
Cover Price: $ 24.99

Enter a word or phrase in the box below

At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Philadelphia was the second-largest city in the country and had the industrial might to earn the title “Arsenal of the Union.” With Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal, the city mills forged steel into arms, and a vast network of rails carried the ammunition and other manufactured goods to the troops. Over the course of the war, Philadelphia contributed 100,000 soldiers to the Union army, including many free blacks and such notables as General George McClellan and General George Meade, the victor of Gettysburg. Anthony Waskie chronicles Philadelphia’s role in the conflict while also taking an intimate view of life in the city with stories of all those who volunteered to serve and guard the Cradle of Liberty.

Background Information

Philadelphia was founded by William Penn and has many of the iconic monuments of the American Revolution. George B. McClellan was a commander of the Union forces in the early part of the Civil War, much criticized for his extreme caution. The Battle of Gettysburg represented the high water mark of the Confederacy when it was fought in July 1863.

Making of a Racist by Charles B. Dew Making of a Racist, Hardback (October 2016)

"This unique blend of memoir and history interweaves autobiography with the history of the slave trade and the American South"--Provided by publisher.

» View all books by Charles B. Dew

US Kirkus Review » Dew (American Studies/Williams) uses the meticulously kept records of Virginia slaveholders to create an engrossing, often surprising record of everyday life on an estate in the antebellum South. Initially, Dew gives a matter-of-fact account of the prosperous business of entrepreneur William Weaver and Daniel Brady, Weaver's niece's husband, at Buffalo Forge and Etna Furnace, Weaver's western Virginia ironworks. The industrious and litigious Weaver was a shrewd businessman whose humanity to his slaves was practical rather than altruistic. Dew tells how Weaver built his slave labor force, trained them in the intricacies of forge work, and motivated them to work hard through incentives - notably, his "overwork" system in which he paid the slaves wages for tons of iron manufactured in excess of production quotas. Then Dew goes on to tell the stories of the slaves themselves - including Sam Williams, a master refiner at Buffalo Forge and Baptist community leader who earned overwork only when he chose but who also maintained a high standard of living for his family; Garland Thompson, "an imposing figure of a man, courageous and unflinching when confronted by white authroity and capable of prodigious feats of strength and workmanship." Finally, Dew tells how the Buffalo Forge community broke up during the crisis of the Civil War, with the growing demand for iron finally exhausting the supply. Diphtheria, typhoid, and tuberculosis epidemics claimed slaves' lives, and Weaver's death in 1863 ended Buffalo Forge's productive life. After 1868, the forge finally closed and sharecropping replaced industiral work among the black community at Buffalo Forge. A novel contribution to the massive corpus of literature on American slavery - one that shows slaves as skilled artisans leading lives of considerable dignity and achievement, who despite their accomplishments under the slave regime never stopped yearning for freedom.
