BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (April 6, 2012) - The Bridgeport Sound Tigers announced today they have signed forward Brock Nelson to an amateur tryout contract (ATO).

Nelson, 20, led the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux in points (47) and goals (28) in 42 games as a sophomore. The Warroad, MN, native ranked third in the nation in goals and tied for 12th in points. Nelson agreed to terms on an Entry Level Contract (ELC) with the New York Islanders earlier this week.

Nelson was named to the all-tournament teams at both the Red Baron Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) Final Five and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) West Regional. He finished the year with five goals in his last five playoff games, leading UND to a third straight Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA champion and a berth in the regional championship game. Nelson was named the Inside College Hockey “WCHA Breakthrough Player Of The Year” and to the 2011-12 All-College Hockey News Second Team.
The Islanders selected Nelson in the first round, 30 overall, of the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft. He scored 21 points (8g/13a) in 42 games as a freshman at the University of North Dakota. Nelson recorded a point in every game of his senior season at Warroad High School in Minnesota, finishing with 39 goals and 34 assists in 25 games and being selected one of 10 finalists for the state’s prestigious “Mr. Hockey” Award.

• MHS track teams set to close out regular season, ready for postseason

  • MIDDLEBORO — The Middleboro High School boys' and girls' track and field teams have seen similar results as the regular season comes to a close.
    • email print
  • MIDDLEBORO — The Middleboro High School boys' and girls' track and field teams have seen similar results as the regular season comes to a close.
    Both teams have identical 5-3 records, but have got to that point in different ways. The boys have relied on their senior leadership to carry them, while the Lady Sachems have seen a group of sophomores lead the squad.
    On Tuesday, both teams competed in a dual meet against Quincy and North Quincy and beat both opponents to push themselves over the .500 mark.
    For boys' head coach Sean Kinney, he is looking for a strong finish to continue the streak of eight consecutive winning seasons.
    "As a team I feel like we are ready to perform at a higher level than earlier in the season," Kinney said. "I'm ready to see some breakout performances all around the track. As the amount of season gets smaller and smaller, the pressure gets bigger and bigger.
    "All in all, I'm not concerned with the records, but more concerned with the performances and ready to have big performances at the end of the season when it matters most."
    Kinney credited seniors Tyler Daschke, Ian Soderlund and Tom Homer for the Sachems' success this season.
    Daschke, who is the Sachems top thrower and top five in the Patriot League, has already qualified for the Div. III meet in both the shot put and discus.
    Soderlund provides versatility as he competes in the triple and long jump as well as the high hurdles. Homer caps off the trio as Kinney called him the team's best sprinter.
    The three seniors combine to help keep the Sachem program on a successful track this year and even after they graduate from MHS.
    "They show you how to do it on race day," Kinney said. "They show you how to do it on practice day. They exemplify what it is like to train hard and perform well. The team has responded to that type of leadership."
    On the other side, the Lady Sachems have performed well despite a roster loaded with underclassmen.
    "I'm very pleased with a young team," said girls' head coach Brian Rounseville. "They come to practice every day and work hard. It has been a good, positive season."
    With only two returning seniors in captains Amanda Johnson and Mary Cole, the Lady Sachems have looked to a sophomore group of girls to step up.
    Hayden Bagnell-Pettine leads the way for the group, along with Mary Kate O'Shaughnessy and Sarah Walgreen.
    Bagnell-Pettine has done everything for the Lady Sachems this season. From track events to field events, she has filled much needed holes.
    In search of another thrower early in the season, Rounseville said the coaching staff looked at Bagnell-Pettine. And even though she is undersized for the event, she continues to just perform well.
    "We needed a shot putter. We brought her over and in a short period of time we saw she was going to be our best shot putter," Rounseville said. "She is a great hurdler with great speed too. She isn't afraid, she attacks them. She is very versatile and very competitive. She is a good leader for us."
    Both teams look to finish up the regular season on Thursday when they host Patriot League powerhouse Whitman-Hanson at 3:30 p.m. Then, the Sachems and Lady Sachems will head on to the Patriot League meet on Tuesday, which is hosted by Silver Lake at 4:30 p.m.

Modular Quad VCO module
quad VCO
dual VCF
dual VCA
power supply
quad vco picture
This is SSM2164 based quad VCO module. It is a 'classic' version of VCO I made before, which was destined to uC controlled matrix modular. But when I started to do it, I realized that most fun with using modular synth comes from playing with sea-of-knobs and patchcord-pasta. So I made another one, shown here.

The panel consists of four separate strips (VCOs), each with the same controls except the first VCO. Each has the following:

FOOTAGE switch:
64', 32', 16', 8', 4', 2', 1' plus 'Lo' 2 octaves below 64' and 'Hi' - something like 0.5'
WAVEFORM switch:
sine, triangle, minimoog ramp, saw, square, pulse, and 2 versions of bipolar pulses
TUNE knob:
tuning in range of +/-12 semitones or +/-5 octaves depending on RANGE switch
MODE switch (VCO2,3,4 only):
puts each VCO in one of three modes of tracking: free running, track CV0 input or track VCO1 tuning
RANGE switch:
sets the range of TUNE knob: 2 or 10 octaves
SYNC switches (2):
to activate synchronization between VCOs. 3 positions: off, soft, hard
PW knob:
affects pulse width of three pulse waveforms and shape of sine (kinda like Synthi AKS)
PWM knob:
to control amount of PW modulation from PWM input
CV1 and CV3 knobs:
bipolar (+/-1) attenuators for CV1 and CV3 inputs affecting frequency (V/oct)
CV2 knob:
attenuator for CV2 input, may be switched between V/oct, and linear FM modes
FM switch:
determines type of modulation from CV2 input - V/oct, or linear FM
SAW, OUT1, OUT2. OUTs 1,2 give waveform selected by WAVEFORM switch
VCO1 has no MODE switch, and has additional CV input, which can control all VCOs.

Frequency range:
0.15Hz-60kHz with knobs, 0.006Hz-120kHz with external CV
Output level:
all outputs are 10Vpp around center GND. Pulse 0/+5V. Sine distorted with PW knob/input may decrease amplitude
in tests most of VCOs wouldn't interlock at few kHz with beat rate around 0.1Hz. For unknown reason VCO4 locks to VCO3 when beat rate is lower than 0.2Hz.
Temperature drift:
depending on frequency. 0.5%/C at 5kHz, which is bad news
Center frequency:
VCOs are tuned to 150Hz at 0V (FOOTAGE at 8', Tune in the middle, no ext CV)
Short term stability:
I made 4 hours test where two VCOs were set to 300Hz and 5kHz. 300Hz turned to 299.5 while 5kHz changed by 3Hz

It doesn't differ much (electrically) from original, but is a little simplified (no VCAs) and few components changed. See the schematics

The panel is made of 2mm thick 2-sided copper platted glass epoxy. It is stiff enough, easy to work with, and you can solder to it. All pots, switches and jacks are screwed directly to it - no middle panel. This way most of pots had to go through shaft-cutting operation. Panel writings are made in PCB software, ink-printed on 250gsm colored paper, painted with transparent acrylic spray, glued to panel. Inside are soldered 3 stands for securing PCB, and 4 taller stands for attaching U shaped piece of brassplate as back cover. Power supply cable (+/-9V, +/-5V, GND and shield) goes to power socket near PCB, where all wires meet. Ground leads of pots and switches are hooked with separate wires. The same (where possible) is done with power wires. This way I made sure to have real mess inside (see photo below), but hopefully the module will be less susceptible to all kinds of interference, hum etc.
Because of new ideas popping up, the PCB hasn't covered all requirements (it was suppose to be prototype after all), so I added some 3-D 'art' to it. Waveform selectors/shapers are built around switch leads - no protoboard or whatever. Looks ugly, but works. Also CV1 and CV3 bipolar attenuators required some circuitry. I decided to use more opamps instead of well known circuit and obtain better resolution near 0, better attenuation at 0, no gain errors and constant input resistance. Those opamps are soldered directly to pot's leads.
All this 3-D stuff resulted in reduction of wires inside module. I started with flexible wire, but then realized that with solid wire I could achieve better results - once bent, the wire stays there. See what I mean in few photos below.
As for size standard, module fits into 5U 19''rack frame. Each VCO is 12TE wide (2.4''). I hope to make some page someday with info on DIY racks, frames and keyboard stands.

Audio files

These are recordings of me tweaking the module recorded the same day I finished it, but it took me almost a month to pick some of them put here. All are made solely with quadVCO module and Polysynth used as CV keyboard (nonlinear, btw). MP3 encoder I used was not too good, and took half of life from every track. And please don't mind my lack of musical imagination ;-)
sine waves 718K heavily modulated
FM sound 266K sweeping and more
another FM sound 459K and bipolar pulse LFO
various FM noises 1.18M sweeping; stereo noise in second half
few crazy patches 585K
unisono 411K two VCOs per channel
crazy tweakin' 880K

Nice picture :).
I was a huge fan if the first two Age of Empires games, because they introduced me to RTS and I loved the historical setting. But I was very disappointed about AoE III... I only played it for a few hours, but had no fun with it.

Dawn Spacecraft Begins Trek to Asteroid Belt
A spectacular launch of the Dawn spacecraft into a beautiful Florida sky in this NASA image of the Sept. 27, 2007 space shot.

A NASA probe blasted into space early Thursday, kicking off an unprecedented mission to explore the two largest asteroids in the solar system.

Riding atop a Delta 2 rocket, NASA?s Dawn spacecraft launched toward the asteroids Vesta and Ceres at 7:34 a.m. EDT (1134 GMT) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla.

?In my view, we?re going to be visiting some of the last unexplored worlds in the solar system,? said Marc Rayman, Dawn director of system engineering at NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.

Dawn?s eight-year mission will carry the 2,685-pound (1,212-kilogram) probe across three billion miles (4.9 billion kilometers) on NASA?s first sortie deep into the asteroid belt, a ring of space rocks that circles the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

By visiting the bright, rocky asteroid Vesta and the large, icy Ceres, researchers hope Dawn will shed new light on the formation of planets and solar system?s early evolution.

Aside from a wayward ship, which delayed today?s launch by 14 minutes when it encroached into the Atlantis Ocean splashdown zone for segments of Dawn?s rocket, the liftoff went as planned, NASA launch director Omar Baez said.

Long journey ahead

Dawn is expected to rendezvous and orbit the 330-mile (530-kilometer) wide Vesta between August 2011 and May 2012, then move on to Texas-sized Ceres by February 2015. With its spherical shape and 585-mile (942-kilometer) diameter, Ceres is so large it is also considered a dwarf planet.

?It will be the first mission to journey to, and orbit around, two celestial bodies, and the first to visit a dwarf planet,? said Dawn program manager Jim Adams, at NASA?s Washington, D.C. headquarters, of the asteroid-bound flight.

Dawn carries an optical camera, gamma ray and neutron detector and a mapping spectrometer to study Vesta and Ceres. Some of those tools will get a trial run during a planned Mars flyby in 2009, researchers said.

To power those instruments, the spacecraft is also equipped with the most powerful solar arrays ever launched into deep space.

With a wingspan of nearly 65 feet (almost 20 meters), or about the distance from the pitcher?s mound to home plate on a baseball field, the arrays will generate more than 10 kilowatts near Earth, though that output will decrease as the spacecraft moves further from the Sun.

NASA officials set Dawn?s mission cost at $357.5 million excluding the cost of its Delta 2 rocket, according to a September update. In a July briefing, Dawn researchers said the asteroid-bound flight could cost a total of $449 million and incur an extra $25 million in overhead due to launch delays.

Attempts to launch the mission in July were thwarted first by poor weather and rocket glitches, then by difficulties arranging ship and aircraft tracking equipment in time for liftoff. NASA also canceled the mission outright in March 2006, only to reinstate the expedition a few weeks later.

?It has been quite an emotional rollercoaster,? Chris Russell, Dawn's principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles, said of the mission. ?And part of the emotional rollercoaster is the gratitude that we have for all of the people that defended Dawn in those times.?

An asteroid trek on ion power

Built by Virginia-based Orbital Sciences, the Dawn spacecraft has been touted as the Prius of space probes because of the uncanny fuel efficiency of its three-engine ion drive.

Dawn carries 937 pounds (425 kilograms) of Xenon gas, to which it gives an electric charge to create ions that are then catapulted out of its engines at nearly 90,000 miles per hour (144,840 kph). Over time, the ion push builds up, and allows Dawn to change its flight path to first rendezvous, then orbit, multiple targets like Vesta and Ceres without requiring massive amounts of conventional rocket fuel.

?The first time I ever heard of ion propulsion was in a ?Star Trek? episode,? said Rayman, adding that such engines are also touted to propel the TIE fighters ? or Twin Ion Engine - of ?Star Wars? fame. ?Dawn does the TIE fighter one better because it has three ion engines.?

While it will take Dawn four days to go from zero to 60 miles per hour (96 kph), the probe will gradually pick up speed as it fires its ion drive nonstop for the next six years, NASA has said, adding that the mission is the agency?s first operational science expedition powered by ion propulsion.

?That would make it the longest powered flight in space history,? said Keyur Patel, NASA?s Dawn project manager at JPL, just before liftoff.

Each of the three ion engines weighs about 20 pounds (nine kilograms) and is about the size of a basketball.

"From such a little engine you can get this blue beam of rocket exhaust that shoots out at 89,000 miles per hour,? Patel said before launch day. ?It is a remarkable system."

NASA will hold a post-launch briefing on Dawn?s asteroid-bound mission at 1:00 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT) on NASA TV.

Leonardo da Vinci

Return to Florence, and The Mona Lisa: 1503–1505

The Military Engineer: 1500-1503

Return to Florence, and The Mona Lisa: 1503–1505, page 2

page 1 of 2

For unknown reasons, Leonardo left his post with Cesare Borgia in 1503. He may have sensed that Borgia's power would soon come to an end, or he may have been disgusted with some of the assassinations that Borgia had performed in recent months.

Back in Florence, Leonardo may have renewed relations with Machiavelli: the Arno River ran from Florence to Pisa, and the two cities were now at war; Machiavelli served as one of the directors of a project to divert the river so as to prevent it from running through Pisa, thus depriving the inhabitants of fresh water, as well as supplied brought by riverboats. Leonardo made many sketches of the river and of the planned new course; most likely the directors also consulted him as an engineer. However, the project itself failed.

By this time, Leonardo had gained an immense reputation, and Florence wanted to take advantage of its famous son: the new, republican government had built a large council hall at the Pallazzo della Signoria, and now commissioned Leonardo to paint the Battle of Anghiari, commemorating a historical Florentine battle, on one of the large side walls.

As with Leonardo's other major mural, the Last Supper, technical problems doomed this painting to failure. It deteriorated very quickly, and the painter abandoned it in 1505, long before it was completed. The only records we have of it are a few of Leonardo's sketches and copies done by other artists, such as this one by Rubens. Rubens's style shows through in the copy; and thus it should not be taken as a completely accurate representation of Leonardo's original. Even though Leonardo often designed machines of war, he often spoke of war's beastliness; he meant the Battle of Anghiari to illustrate its horrors.

Most critics agree that Leonardo began work on the Mona Lisa while he was still in Florence, probably around 1505. The famous debate around the painting's subject has raged for years: recently, some have used computer technology to compare the portrait with Leonardo's own self-portrait and suggest that the Mona Lisa is a female version of Leonardo; other, more reasonable arguments assert that the figure is the wife of Francesco del Gioconda. But if the sitter was not Leonardo himself, she never received the portrait, for when Leonardo finally went to France, he took it with him. After his death, the French Royal Family kept the painting, until the French Revolution, at which point the Louvre was opened to the public and the painting became the property of the French people.

Not only has the Mona Lisa been damaged by darkening layers of dirt and varnish, but it has been practically ruined by its own fame: who today can approach that famous smile with a fresh eye? Yet one gains much from a closer look. First, the head is round and full of flesh, in contrast to the flat, misshapen head of the Portrait of Ginevra de Benci of 1474. Leonardo's painterly career can be described as a quest for the perfect female head. The Mona Lisa is also relatively mute in its coloration–that is, its light coloring is due not only to fading, but due somewhat to the artist's intentions. Leonardo's preference for the shadows, veils, and sfumato possible in oil painting reaches its culmination in this portrait, where color and light are in perfect subservience to volume. The background here is typical of Leonardo's work: rocky crags and mists.

I know, all deli meats pretty much have a ton of salt... also soup, bread/bagels even if they don't taste salty, cheese, canned beans, tomato sauce... it's very frustrating sometimes. I hate when I eat something like that without realizing just how salty it is. emoticon

I especially notice salty foods after I haven't been eating a lot of them. I haven't been eating much ham these days or any deli meats, so when I DO have them, I always think they taste salty, even if I didn't think so in the past. I tend to make my chicken a little more on the "bland" side, but I enjoy it and don't mind it that way. I'd rather not have all that salt! When I buy deli meats, I've been reading the nutrition facts to try to choose one lower in sodium. A lot of hams have over 20% of your sodium for the day just in one small serving. I have found certain turkeys that have a bit lower, so I usually stick with that!

I have started watching my sodium intake in the past few months because of water retention. I had the same thing happen after Thanksgiving with ham. Sometimes it is tough to stay under 2300 mg of sodium but I really notice the water retention weight gain if I don't!

Went to my mom's for lunch yesterday and enjoyed a great Sunday dinner. Spiral cut ham, mashed potatoes, rolls, etc. Everything was measured of course and I stayed within calorie range but my WORD I can really tell that 2 slices of ham really did the job on me. I took some leftovers home (ham) and we had ham sandwiches. I drank over 100 oz of water and probably "then some" because I could taste the salt in my mouth all day long.

Well... I believe in water retention now. I have officially gained 5 lbs from it but that is okay. It will go away in a few days.

I just never really knew how high the salt content in ham was til now.

Welcome! :-)

My real age is 8.5 years less than my calendar age !
I didn't expect that! :-)
So, Madhu, that is done! Thank you!

I'm a bit late, still, 10 changes after joining SP?
1.Water, drinking more of it. Around 8, a little more, at times a little less.
2. Learned self control! Ate less fried items. This last month no samosas bhajiyas nothing. Except for a pappad or two with rice, nothing. Ha! Now I think of it, I do feel proud of myself.
3. Moving more than I normally do. I should be more regular.
4. Weights! SP introduced me to weights. Thank you.
5. Mostly sleeping better.
6. Portion control. Though I'm not in complete control over that, I'm very conscious of what I eat, and how much.

That is it!
I want to be fit and healthy.

Be responsible for my own health as far as it is in my hands. History of both diabetes and cholesterol from my paternal side, high BP and asthma from my maternal side is a looming concern.

Completing two years with SP this June.

Has been a bumpy ride. Jumped in with gusto. Came mighty close to my goal weight. 2 more lbs, and I would have been home. Then I let life interfere. I know I should have been stronger for myself... less stupid. To cut it short, I ended up adding on to my start weight at sparks.

And to top it all, I felt guilty, at being so close to my goal weight, when many of my fellow sparkers were still struggling and trying so very hard..That was silly. I now know that they would have been happy for me. Just as I am happy for my friends, [and for complete strangers too, at that!] when they reach each milestone and finally their goal.
I feel so proud of, and happy for each and every one of them. I know how hard the journey is... what ever be the weight loss goal.
We are a great group, and I am proud to be part of this great and wonderful, caring Spark People family.

This second innings is not as easy as the first one.
Fighting and struggling back to a more committed journey.

Hanging on to the weight loss wagon with the encouragement from my friends here.

Member Since: 7/2/2006

Fitness Minutes: 3,090

My Goals:
I want to get addicted to working out ! Be consistent in my efforts to be fit and healthy.

Win my battle against portion control.

My Program:
Before sparks , I was just doing some yoga, and when in the mood..walks& exercises...

We have all heard of yo yo diets . Well, I was on a yo yo fitness routine!

This second time around, I want to build up my strength and stamina. Take slow but sure steps. Something I can build into a habit for life.

Sleep is still a problem area. Though I sometimes have 3 to 5 nights of 'good' nights sleep at a stretch. I am so thankful to SP for that. The articles and pointers have helped. I just hope that one day I will sleep like any normal person.

On the ''water'' front the intake has improved a lot. Though on some days it is still a struggle..then, I have to push myself..

When I eat away from the TV, I find myself reading while eating! That isn''t good either ! I know that.... but I find it very difficult to eat , staring into space. Perhaps I should stare into my plate. That must surely help! Portions!

Personal Information:
HI, I''m from India. I''m a homemaker. Both our parents are no more. Now that I''m left with with so much time on my hands.... I''m learning to love myself and look after myself. Reviving my hobbies and finding new interests!

I am a happy, caring fun loving, positive person.

Other Information:
I love to read , listen to music, paint, embroider, crafts,cook. [I like to undertake cooking experiments.. lol ] Like to play shuttle badminton and cricket. Love to watch all sports and games.

My friends at spark are my lifeline to good health. Both in mind and body.

    Glad to hear that you were thinking about me, but now you've got me curious....I am bad at guessing - maybe you will divulge your thoughts as to the "what" and the "cloak and dagger"....I can be really dense at times and this is one of them :)

    Looking forward to your reply...take care and many emoticon to you.

    How are you? I just popped by the old Wagon message board, but didn't see many familiar faces there, just Wendi and Julie. Do you keep in touch with anybody else?
    Miss you lots, hope you are well!
    Also, if you are interested, I am looking for lovely people to join me in the next 13-week 5% challenge that I take part in, our little team is inviting our friends to join us. I put a big blah-blah-blah about it on the Wagon message board, or ask me if you want more info! It would be really great to have you! We just weigh in weekly and have a different little challenge to focus on each week (like getting all our water drunk, or getting some exercise in daily, something like that). If nothing else, it would be a great way to keep in touch! Julie and Wendi have both joined, and I'm sure I've invited you before... but the invitation is always there for you! (And any friends you want to bring along!)

    Keep in touch, okay? I have been doing lots of running and working and travelling, and am just getting back into "Sparking" full-time... so I will be around! Let me know how you are doing! Miss you!

A little about me: Married 20 yr. I have to girls 13 and 17. I am now a none smoker. I quit smoking 11/26/07. I feel so much better.

Ok I am back again. I won the family biggest loser by losing 30 lb. in 6 months. I now have gained it all back. So today I am starting again. We joined the YMCA so I have lots to do. I have to get my butt in gear and do this and figger out how to keep it off.

Found this on someones page and loved it.
You deserve the best

If you can come up with an excuse for not taking action, you can also find a compelling reason to go ahead and take that action. If you can find a reason to quit, you can also find a good reason to keep going.

Are you skilled and experienced at making yourself miserable? Turn those skills around and make yourself motivated, inspired, effective and fulfilled.

Do you spend lots of time getting little or nothing accomplished? Just by making more productive use of that time you have the opportunity to achieve great things.

Are there mistakes that you've made in the past? By learning from those mistakes, and making more positive choices, you can vastly improve the results you get.

Every day, you utilize powerful skills and tap into abundant resources to bring to your life those things you think you most deserve. So what exactly do you think you deserve?

Choose to see that you deserve the best. For you already have what's necessary to make it happen.

    Today is a terrific day in which you should find that things work very smoothly. You have a hardheaded approach that will help you get down to business and get things done. Make sure you're on solid ground before you take the next step upward. You have the ability to reach the summit of many mountains, so don't waste any time. Put on your boots and start climbing.

    Congrats on the new job and on joining sparkpeople. This is a great step toward a healthier you. Prednisone can make you retain fluid so don't get frustrated if it is slow in coming off. once you get off the prednisone it will melt away. Good Luck!

Food-Tracking Is, Among Other Things, A Reminder And Discipline

On days when I want to break from my healthful, weight-loss manner of eating and feel shaky enough that I will tumble, I quickly jot down the first couple of things that go into my mouth in the morning--usually part of my plan regardless of the cake or grease I'm thinking of for later. Just having the good foods on paper, ready to be copied into Spark later on, often helps me stay on track all day.

Historic school building burns in DeSmet

A historic brick building once used as a boarding school on the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation was destroyed by fire early today in DeSmet.

The three-story building was a total loss, said Bob Sobotta, superintendent of the Coeur d’Alene Tribal School, which is adjacent to the fire scene.

News files at The Spokesman-Review indicate that the building was constructed starting in 1908 and initially housed the girls school of the Sisters of Charity of Providence until 1974.

It was known as the Mary Immaculate School.

Sobotta said he was alerted to the fire about 3 a.m., and that firefighters from surrounding communities responded to the blaze.

Sister Dolores Ellwart of the Sacred Heart Mission at DeSmet said the fire was under investigation by the Coeur d’Alene tribal police. She said the fire apparently started in a basement laundry room.

The building had been used for storage by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Because of its height and location on a hill, the building also held telecommunications equipment.

The Mission of the Sacred Heart was established initially on the St. Joe River and then moved to DeSmet in 1870s.

In 1878, the sisters started their mission school after being invited to the reservation by Chief Saltese in an 1870 letter. Tribal chiefs also traveled to Vancouver, Wash., to ask for the school.

Two earlier school buildings were destroyed by fire in 1881 and in the early 1900s. A tribal history gives 1905 as the date of the second fire. News files indicated that the second fire was in 1907.

The boarding school building came to be known as the sisters school or sisters building.

The mission school closed in 1974, in part because of a dwindling number of sisters.

The school building later housed the tribal education department and a tribal cutting and sewing industry, Ellwart said.

Today’s tribal school was established in place of the mission school, and the school building was turned over to tribal ownership.

Authorities do not believe anyone was inside the building.

“This is a big loss,” said Coeur d’Alene Tribe Chairman Chief Allan. “Part of our history is gone. The memories will always be with our people, but it is a sad day for the tribe.”

The Tensed Fire Protection District and Plummer Gateway Fire Protection District responded to blaze, said Marc Stewart, tribe spokesman, in a press release.

The mission is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Philander’s ‘forgotten’ feat

2011-11-11 12:15
Vernon Philander (Getty Images)
Rob Houwing, Sport24 chief writer

Cape Town – Such was the craziness of the second day’s play in the first Test at Newlands on Thursday that Vernon Philander’s significant post-isolation landmark got rather lost amidst the drama.

The 26-year-old from this city’s less-than-opulent Ravensmead community, in playing the headline role during Australia’s second-innings implosion for 47, simultaneously earned the achievement of registering the best match figures by a South African debutant in the 20-year period since the country’s return from the wilderness.

Philander, whose bustling keenness and get-it-up-to-the-bat characteristic look like making him a very useful seamer addition to the Proteas’ tour party to No 1-ranked England next year, picked up a lightning five for 15 to accompany his first-innings three for 63, giving him a game haul of 8/78 in 28 overs.

That places him 32nd in history on the overall international list, which is headed by then 19-year-old Indian leg-spinner Narendra Hirwani’s incredible 16 for 136 against West Indies in Chennai in 1988.

But he is also fifth among best South Africans, the top performer being Alfred Hall – albeit Lancashire-born – who earned 11 for 112 against England at the very same Newlands in 1923: he currently lies seventh overall.

And the Cape Cobras man has the additional satisfaction of knowing that he has been the most stellar bowling debutant for South Africa since the achievement of unity two decades back.

The closest to Philander is Lance Klusener, who had an altogether more topsy-turvy debut against India in Kolkata in 1996, first being smacked for an unflattering nought for 75 in the home team’s first innings, before being the fourth-innings match-winner with a sudden eight for 64 to give him a match analysis of eight for 139.

An interesting feature of that Test was that it wasn’t even deemed enough to earn him the man-of-the-match award: it went to current national coach Gary Kirsten for centuries in each South African innings.

Richard Snell, in South Africa’s maiden post-isolation Test against West Indies in Bridgetown, bagged four wickets in each innings for a match haul of eight for 157.

Jankovic into 3rd round

2009-01-21 06:35

Melbourne - Top-seeded Jelena Jankovic has advanced to the third round of the Australian Open with a tougher-than-expected win over Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.

Jankovic, bidding for her first Grand Slam singles title, beat Flipkens 6-4 7-5 on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old Serbian player lost last year's US Open title to Serena Williams and also made the semi-finals in last year's Australian Open and French Open and the fourth round at Wimbledon.

She'll play 26th-seeded Ai Sugiyama of Japan, who beat Nathalie Dechy of France 1-6 6-1 6-3 in the second round.

The oddities: Maple Leafs, Devils are on opposite ends of the spectrum

March 28, 2014 9:57am EDT Sure, the Maple Leafs are collapsing — but they're still better than they should've been. On the other end of the spectrum are the New Jersey Devils, who have been done in by Martin Brodeur.
Martin Brodeur, left, and the Toronto Maple Leafs (SN Illustration/AP Photos)

The NHL regular season is winding down, and as it does, we can’t help but look over the landscape in an attempt to figure out who will be competing in the playoffs, who won’t, and how the matchups will shake out. The standings page on is a must-bookmark for any avid hockey fan this team of year.

Those that follow things closely are surely abundantly aware of the steadfast, progressive plummet of the Toronto Maple Leafs; following a big win in Los Angeles against the Kings back on March 13 they were considered a near lock to make the playoffs, with 89.68 percent odds according to Sports Club Stats. Since then, though, they’ve lost six straight, and their odds have dipped to 25 percent as they sit on the outside looking in for at least the time being.

MORE TORONTO: The Leafs Nation

Now, there are still nearly three weeks of games to be played, which means that anything can happen. The Leafs could very well make the playoffs. But whatever winds up happening, we can all take solace in the fact that they were unable to escape the much-anticipated regression which the analytically-inclined crowd has been speaking of since last year’s big dance with smoke, mirrors, and a heavy dose of PDO. But this article isn’t meant to be about the Maple Leafs. No, their particular case has been, and will continue to be, analyzed under a microscopic lens by anyone and everyone.

Instead, let's look at the bigger picture that the Leafs tangled themselves into: the widely discussed importance of having a strong puck possession game. Every year we’ll always have teams that manage to — whether because of a hot goalie, special teams, or flat-out puck luck — perform way over their heads in the short-term. The anti-stats crowd will surely cherry pick these individual examples out of the larger pile as an example that “shot quality” is a real thing, and that hockey — unlike, say, baseball — is a game that can’t be quantified by just numbers. “You have to WATCH the game!”, Joe Puck says.

The issue with that, of course, is that no true analytical type will lead you to believe that there’s one particular be-all, end-all number. Heck, if something like that existed, we'd instantaneously booking flights to Vegas. All we can do is try to use the evidence at our disposal to try and make sense of what has happened, and attempt to forecast what’ll come next, knowing full well that sports tend to be random and that there will therefore be plenty of times things go against the grain.

PHOTOS: Who put on last week's best NHL performances?

In the larger scope, that’s what puck possession does. As lame a name for it as “corsi” and “fenwick” are, they encapsulate something that should make intuitive sense — having the puck on your stick is a good thing because it increases your odds of scoring, and not having the puck on your stick means that the other team does, increasing your odds of giving one up. Aside from the aforementioned Leafs, other teams that you’ll see at the bottom of Extra Skater’s sortable stats are the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers. That lines up with the standings, as does the opposite end of the spectrum, with the Kings, Blackhawks, Sharks, and Bruins all being elite possession squads.

There’s one team, though, that isn’t getting nearly the pub the Leafs, or even the Anaheim Ducks are, despite quite possibly being even more of a remarkable outlier. It’s the New Jersey Devils, who if things hold true to form, will wind up missing the playoffs for the second straight season despite driving play a la the league’s very best.

Below is a list of the best 5v5 Corsi Close % squads in the Analytics Era (2007-08 to the present), obviously with an arbitrary cutoff for the sake of brevity:

There are lots of very, very successful teams on that list. The ’07-’08/’08-’09 Penguins are the only two teams to compete in the Stanley Cup Final over the past 6 years with a Corsi Close below the 50% threshold (45.2 %and 49.2%). They had 2 bonafide superstars carrying the load. Other teams of note that didn’t crack the list are the ’09-’10 Flyers (50.5%), ’10-’11 Bruins (51.1%), ’10-’11 Canucks (53.7%), and ’11-’12 Devils.

Interestingly enough, those New Jersey Devils that lost to the Los Angeles Kings were a 51.0% Corsi Close team, which is hardly something to scoff at, but also a far cry from the level they’ve been at during these past two seasons. So what gives?

During last year’s lockout-shortened schedule, it was two-fold. New Jersey shot just 6.3% as a team at 5v5, which was the third-worst clip in the league. As a result they scored just 2.29 goals/game, which was 28th in the league. But they still probably could’ve overcome those struggles had they stopped relying on the pair of Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg, who were quite frankly, anything but ol’ reliable. Despite the fact that they surrendered the fewer shots in the league on average, the Devils' goaltenders stopped a stunningly low 89.3% of the shots they faced. They were particularly bad when shorthanded, as their .824 save % at 4v5 was the worst in the entire league.

They’ve got some smart guys running the show over there in New Jersey, so unsurprisingly these numbers didn’t evade them. At the draft they traded away the ninth overall pick (which could’ve, and should’ve, been used to take Valeri Nichushkin who will wind up being a star) for Cory Schneider, thinking that they’d shore up their issues in net. They also added guys like Damien Brunner, Michael Ryder, and Jaromir Jagr, in an attempt to swing the pendulum on their issues finishing.

Some of their problems have been fixed; they’ve enjoyed a boon in special teams and can lay claim to the fifth most efficient power play unit thanks to the second-best shooting percentage at 5v4, and a 4v5 save percentage that has skyrocketed up to 91.2%, also the second-highest in the league. Still, they’re having all sorts of trouble with the percentages at 5v5. At even strength, they’ve got the 27th-ranked save percentage, and 24th-ranked shooting percentage.

Most of that is, sadly enough, self-induced. A reluctance to fully hand the keys over to Schneider has resulted in 35 starts by Brodeur starts and his 902 save percentage. That, in turn, derailed a possession train that has been full-steam ahead all year long. If you’re looking for a place to send your blame, start there.

These New Jersey Devils are most certainly the outlier. Hopefully, you can appreciate the delicious irony of a team that made its bones for years by riding a Hall of Fame goaltender now being done in by their issues in net.

Chase Utley responds to Mac’s letter from ‘It’s Always Sunny’ episode (video)

It has taken nearly five years, but Philadelphia Phillies star Chase Utley finally has replied to the awkward fan letter Mac, as portrayed by Rob McElhenney, once wrote to him during “The World Series Defense” episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

Classic. And touching and heartwarming.

Of course, Chase Utley is Mac’s favorite Phillies player for a multitude of reasons as he explains to Sweet Dee before his letter about “having a catch” with the second baseman is read aloud:

Sadly, Mac never got the opportunity to meet his hero, as he expected to at a charity event in a later episode, “The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods,” during which Dennis and Charlie hang out with Utley and Ryan Howard, who make cameos.

But after all this time, Utley responds to the fictional character’s hilariously awkward letter in a video for MLB Fan Cave:

Utley’s letter has stickers, too! Fantastic. We’ll have to see if Utley’s letter somehow gets worked into the ninth season of “It’s Always Sunny,” which premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 4 on FXX.

Equestrianism at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games:

Mixed Three-Day Event, Team

Equestrianism at the 2008 Summer Games: Previous Summer Games ▪ Next Summer Games

Host City: Beijing, China
Venue(s): Hong Kong Equestrian Venue, Hong Kong
Date Started: August 9, 2008
Date Finished: August 12, 2008
Format: Five rider teams. Best three scores in each round to count for the team total. Team/individual competitions held concurrently.

Gold: GER Germany
Silver: AUS Australia
Bronze: GBR Great Britain

As in 2004, the format consisted of five-rider teams with the three best scores to count in each phase. Germany was favored. They had won the 2006 World Championship and in 2004 at Athina, seemed to win the gold medal, but it was later stripped in a controversial ruling concerning [Bettina Hoy] and when she had crossed the start line in the jumping. Germany appealed the ruling to the FEI and it was reversed, but on further appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disallowed the appeal and Germany was dropped back to fourth place. Germany won the dressage phase and still led after the endurance ride. Their last rider in jumping was [Hinrich Romeike], gold medalist in the individual three-day event. When Romeike missed only one obstacle, Germany had the gold medal, leading Australia by only 5.1 points, as Great Britain won bronze.

Jets Throwback Jerseys From '60s Are Selling Well With Fans

Jets Have Won Twice This Year
While Wearing Throwbacks
The Jets have worn throwback uniforms from the '60s N.Y. Titans for their last two games, and fans have been "flocking to the stores to pick up the retro jerseys," according to Chris Mascaro of NEWSDAY. BC Sports employee Rob Corrado, who works in the company's Massapequa, New York, location, said that the jerseys "are a hot item only because they are new and different," and added that some customers "don't even know who the Titans were." Corrado: "Most people have no idea. They think it's the Rams or even Pittsburgh. It's the flavor of the month." Mascaro notes NFL rules allow the Jets to wear the retro navy and gold uniforms twice a season. The Titans changed their named to the Jets in '64 to coincide with their move to Shea Stadium (NEWSDAY, 10/14).

A BLACK UNVEILING: Hurricanes Retail Operations Manager James Blitch during the second period of last night's Red Wings-Hurricanes game said that the team's new alternate black jerseys in the RBC Center's store "could sell out of the first shipment of 1,500 replicas by the end of the game." Blitch had just one of C Rod Brind'Amour's No. 17 jerseys remaining, while C Eric Staal's No. 12 jerseys "had already sold out." Blitch said of the jerseys, "The red numbers make the jerseys pop" (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 10/14).

DESIGN DEBUT: In Pittsburgh, Rob Rossi reports the Penguins "will debut their alternate uniforms Nov. 15 at home against" the Sabres. The uniforms "will mirror the retro-themed ones worn" during the January 1, 2008, Amp Energy NHL Winter Classic. The alternate design consist of a "predominantly baby blue sweater and socks, with navy pants, gloves and helmet." The Penguins "have not worn an alternate uniform since 2001-02" (Pittsburgh TRIBUNE-REVIEW, 10/14).

  • Beyond Sport Summit Kicks Off In Philly With Panel On How Football Can Drive Change

    Using the world’s most popular sport as a vehicle to drive social change was the theme of the day Sunday as Beyond Sport and streetfootballworld hosted a one-day Beyond Soccer event at PPL Park in Philadelphia. The event was the precursor to the Beyond Sport Summit, which runs through Wednesday and will include myriad topics on how organizations can best partner with sports teams and leagues to facilitate social change from national to grassroots levels. Keynote speaker Chris Lodgson set the tone for the day with an impassioned address in which he delivered "a wake-up call to action, a call to enlistment" to the 100-plus attendees. Lodgson told how his association with Street Soccer USA had helped pull him out of unemployment and poverty and he called football "a deciding factor in the fight against poverty in the United States." Panelist Mike Geddes of streetfootballworld went further and said, "Soccer’s social conscience is being tested like never before." Sunday's event focused solely on football, with panels ranging from the role of pro teams in their communities to the concept of shared value through sponsorships to the impact of mega-events, with insight on the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. Brazil provides "the opportunity of a lifetime," Geddes said. There is also a unique opportunity with Brazil because having the World Cup followed two years later by the Olympics will give organizations the opportunity to retool their strategies between events.

    WHAT LIES AHEAD: As the summit shifts away from the pitch, so the focus of the event broadens to topics as varied as children’s fitness, nutrition and safety, inner city sports programs and how to best attract investment. Speakers include NBA Commissioner David Stern, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, execs from the NFL, NBA and NHL and a host of public service groups. The event includes a reception Tuesday with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, which will be hosted by the Eagles, 76ers, Phillies and MLS Union -- the first time, organizers say, the city’s professional teams have collaborated on a single event -- and culminates with the Beyond Sport Awards on Wednesday night.
