(08-26) 16:18 PDT NOVATO -- The pilot who died in a small plane crash in a remote area near Novato was identified Tuesday as 51-year-old Robert John Madge of Redwood City.

Madge's body was found Aug. 19 in the wreckage of his single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza after firefighters extinguished a 40-acre brush fire off Hicks Valley Road west of Novato, authorities said. He was the only one on board.

The Marin County coroner's office identified Madge through dental records.

The plane had no previous record of problems, according to federal databases.

Madge, flying from Brookings, Ore., to San Carlos, reported engine trouble about 9:30 p.m. the night before and said he would try to make it to Marin County Airport, or Gnoss Field, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor.

Air traffic controllers lost radar and radio contact after that, Gregor said.

The cause of the crash will be determined by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Napoleon's Scientists and the Unveiling of Egypt

By Nina Burleigh

More than two centuries ago, in continuing efforts to expand the French empire into Asia and Africa, Napoleon set out to conquer Egypt. He led upward of 50,000 sailors and soldiers across the Mediterranean into the desert.

In "Mirage: Napoleon's Scientists and the Unveiling of Egypt," Nina Burleigh looks at the corps of 150 Parisian artists and scientists, naturalists and physicists who also traveled with the troops, men young and old who heeded the general's call for scholars to help explore new, foreign territories.

As a military incursion, the campaign was less than successful. As an intellectual endeavor, however, it would ultimately yield, among other things, an exhaustive encyclopedia about the country, "twenty-three outsize volumes," Burleigh writes in the introduction, "delicately printed with engravings of the buildings, rocks, people, plants, and thousands of the beasts, birds, bugs, and fish that dwelled in Egypt circa 1800."

Burleigh, author of "A Very Private Woman: The Life and Unsolved Murder of Presidential Mistress Mary Meyer" and "The Stranger and the Statesman: James Smithson, John Quincy Adams and the Making of America's Greatest Museum: The Smithsonian," explains significant details without getting heavily academic. By separating the narrative into sections and sketching individuals - the chemist, the mathematician, the zoologist - she makes the discussion accessible.

The chapter "The Inventor," for example, looks at Frenchman Nicolas-Jacques Conté, who created "useful things and imagined other machines and devices that he himself couldn't fabricate."

Conté grew up in Saint-Cénary, a village in the Savoie region. At 9, he skillfully carved a working violin. At 12, he painted ceiling panels of saints for his town church. In Paris during his 20s, he apprenticed with a professional artist and toiled in the evenings at a chemistry laboratory. Before long, he developed an instrument to help cast commemorative medals for the French government and founded the country's first school of industrial and applied arts.

In Egypt, Conté worked diligently. Called by colleagues, such as chemist Claude Louis Berthollet, "the column of the expedition and the soul of the colony," he eventually set up and supervised a small village of shops that manufactured everything from gunpowder to cloth for military uniforms.

"Using only indigenous materials," Burleigh writes, "he created all sorts of machines, including a printing press, a coin press, geometry machines, engineering tools, and even trumpets for the army. He built a smelting foundry to make steel and then produced sabers."

On the other hand, the chapter "The Engineers" focuses on the engineers and surveyors in the group, many of whom Berthollet recruited personally for the sojourn. Some came from well-to-do families; others did not. Some were bookish and dutiful; others were independent and occasionally unruly.

Engineer Pierre-Francois Xavier Bouchard, digging along a wall in Rosetta one hot summer day in 1799, trying to reinforce a fort on the west bank of the Nile, unearthed a granite stone etched with multiple scripts.

He reported the discovery to Jacques Menou, the supervising officer, who in turn "took it into his own tent, had it cleaned, and arranged for the Greek to be translated." The tablet, they believed, would help scholars eventually unlock the mysteries of ancient Egyptian writing, providing insight into hieroglyphics.

Unfortunately for the French, the Rosetta Stone had to be conceded a couple of years later to the British as part of a surrender agreement. Today, the artifact sits not in the Louvre in Paris, but in the British Museum in London, with no true indication, Burleigh notes, of its provenance.

That scores of scientists joined Napoleon's expedition voluntarily, leaving behind friends and families for lands unknown, was a testament perhaps to their faith in the general and their innate curiosity. That many of them died in Egypt proved just how precarious the situation became. (The French civilian toll would top 25; the military toll would top 25,000.) Those who returned home years later, who survived the sea voyage, the desert heat, the war and the pestilence, needed to make sense of all they had experienced and what they had collected and cataloged abroad. For decades afterward, they generated volumes of literature.

Published serially between 1809 and 1828, "The Description of Egypt" turned out to be "the most comprehensive view of the culture and architecture of ancient and modern Egypt ever seen," Burleigh writes. "Never before, and possibly never since, at least in the predigital age, had so much information from so many sources and in so many forms (text, drawings, maps) been compiled into one work."

It served as a foundation for future archaeological study and further fueled public interest in Egypt, consequences the author recognizes throughout her narrative, a fascinating read about an extraordinary time and place in world history.

A giant dragon reborn in Guild Wars 2's 'Tequatl Rising' update

You probably think you've seen the last of Tequatl the Sunless, haven't you? Guild Wars 2 players may recall first encountering the undead Level 65 dragon in the depths of the Maguuma Jungle. But hey, he's all taken care of now, right? Wrong! You are WRONG! Tequatl came back today, badder than ever, in the latest Guild Wars 2 update, Tequatl Rising.

Tequatl has reappeared along the Splintered Coast with new attacks. If you can survive the zombie dragon a second time, there's a rare cosmetic reward in it for you, called the Wings of the Sunless. It'll bring out the dragon in you!

America 2.0: The Wild Frontier

I’m not an anti-gun nut; my brother-in-law is a hunter, who hunts only what he can eat, wasting nothing, and I have no compulsion whatsoever to take his rifles away from him. But this is just fucking madness:

In the last year, 15 states have enacted laws that expand the right of self-defense, allowing crime victims to use deadly force in situations that might formerly have subjected them to prosecution for murder.

…The Florida law, which served as a model for the others, gives people the right to use deadly force against intruders entering their homes. They no longer need to prove that they feared for their safety, only that the person they killed had intruded unlawfully and forcefully. The law also extends this principle to vehicles.

In addition, the law does away with an earlier requirement that a person attacked in a public place must retreat if possible. Now, that same person, in the law’s words, “has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force.” The law also forbids the arrest, detention or prosecution of the people covered by the law, and it prohibits civil suits against them.
In one case, a guy was shot twice “during a dispute over how many garbage bags [he] had put out.” The shooter, his neighbor, wasn’t arrested. Give me a fucking break. What defines being “attacked” and having “force” used against you? If someone verbally threatens you, or even throws a punch, you now have the right to use “deadly force” to defend yourself? Yeesh. Does this mean I get to shoot aggressive panhandlers? Can I shoot a guy at a bar who won’t leave me alone? It seems to me the defensibility of either of those acts is determined singularly by my own assessment of how at risk my personal safety is, giving jumpy, prejudiced fuckwits a rationale for shooting to assuage their own cultural anxieties. The same idiot knob-ends who feel compelled to lock their car doors when driving through a poor neighborhood now have carte blanche to shoot first and ask questions later. Superb.

 Shay Update: 10-11 Winter

Shay Update: 10-11 Winter

30 Aug, 2010

I haven’t closed the door on the 09-10 winter yet since I’m hoping to make a trip down to Timberline for another day on the slopes but in just a couple of weeks the 10-11 winter will be arriving for snowboarders.  Colorado is getting ready with snowmaking that will allow for them to hopefully have another October opening and by November many more resorts will be opening up for the season.  It’s been another amazing year of snowboarding as I have just completed my longest season on snow from Colorado to Mt Hood without needing to leave the United States.  Until winter arrives, I’ll keep with the distractions of the snowboard premieres that are about to arrive full force as the temperatures drop.

This was my third summer of Industry Profiles Interviews that take up the summer twice a week and give a glimpse of people and jobs within the snowboard industry.  The format became more condensed and easier to work with which has made it less time consuming and hopefully you guys have liked them!  I’m getting the last of the interviews in from a variety of pros, designers, founders and magazines.  September will be the last month for the interviews to be posted up and they’ll return next summer 2011 if anyone misses the boat or if you know of someone who would be good to showcase (just let me know).

Right now I’m at a crossroads in life and trying to stay optimistic about the future.  It’s been interesting to go from Colorado to Mt Hood to the unknown.  Right now I’m interviewing and applying to different jobs so working on finding the right job.  I’m unknown about where I’ll spend this winter, what mountain I’ll be riding or where I’ll have a season pass.  I could live back in the cities or in the mountains, it’s all up in the air.  There’s a lot of unknowns for me which is scary but also gives hope for the future of experiences to come my way.  In the meantime I’m working on finishing up reviews that took a backseat this summer, compiling ideas for this winter and preparing for all possibilities.

Since so much is up in the open for the winter and I’m currently in Seattle for a couple weeks, here are the upcoming events that I’m hoping to check out in the northwest region until I know where/what I’ll be doing next.

  • 9/2 Volcom Snow “9191” premiere at King Cat Theatre, Seattle, WA
  • 9/3 Evo First Friday with Smith Optics, Seattle, WA
  • 9/9 Absinthe Films “NowHere” at Egyptian Theatre, Seattle, WA
  • 9/28 TGR & Jeremy Jones “Deeper” at Egyptian Theatre, Seattle, WA

So here’s to the unknown that lies ahead and we’ll see where I end up this winter!

About the author

From the beginning of time, I was Shannon. From the beginning of snowboarding, I was Shay. From the beginning of online communities, I was Shayboarder. In the end, I’m the writer, photographer, editor, publisher, guru of sorts, product tester, curvy girl, and most importantly the snowboarder behind it all. Follow me on this journey through snowboarding, mountain biking, traveling and fun experiences!

What your clothes say about you at work helps empower women through articles and discussion related to women's issues including beauty, relationships and parenting.

Dress for career success

Three women hold the same professional title. One is wearing jeans and a polo shirt, one is wearing a power suit and one is wearing a mini skirt with a tight sweater and stiletto boots. Which one would you take more seriously? In her new book "Excuse Me, Your Job is Waiting" Laura George explores fashion stereotypes, how they might be holding you back in your career and how to overcome them.

Dress for career success

What your clothes say about you

Let's look at the most common interpretations, or stereotypes, attached to certain clothes. Notice that most items have more than one message and some have quite conflicting messages. We are constantly putting out all sorts of mixed messages and vibrations with our clothing. Some work in our best interest; some cause us havoc. The goal is to feel good, put out good energy, and bring in a good working experience. How these pieces are put together in an ensemble will determine what they say and how you feel. Make sure they are saying what you feel about the job and how you feel you are perfect for the job.

Whether you're female or male, you must make sure your clothes are sending the message you want to relay to potential employers. Every industry and occupation has its "uniform." CEOs are expected to look like CEOs. Artists are expected to look like artists. We communicate through our appearance; be attuned to what your appearance says. Once you've defined your desired position, dress the part. Keep feeling yourself in the position. Know it's yours.

If you are truly in doubt about what to wear when you're called for the interview, ask the human resource person what's expected of you in regards to your garments. Several years ago, a major company from out of state sent a representative to my area to interview me over lunch at a country club. The dear soul had the decency to call me the night before and tell me to dress casually. Most human resource people will give you a straight answer if you ask them a straight question.

South Shields judo star Sarah Clark bows out on a high

RETIRED ... Sarah Clark.

RETIRED ... Sarah Clark.

Have your say

SOUTH Shields judo gold medallist Sarah Clark has announced her retirement from the sport.

The 36-year-old brought her career to an end in style by winning gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last month.

RETIRED ... Judoka Sarah Clark has called it a day.

RETIRED ... Judoka Sarah Clark has called it a day.

She is originally from South Shields, but moved to Edinburgh aged 18, and went on to compete for Scotland.

Sarah started her judo journey at South Shields-based Kodokwai Judo Club, aged nine, and she could have “only dreamed of” having the career that followed.

She said: “From the very first session, I was hooked.

“I became part of a fantastic club and a wonderful group of people. Little did I know that over the next 27 years, judo would dominate my life and take me on a journey that I could’ve only dreamed of.

“A journey that would take me all around the world, where I would meet new people, make friends, have fun, laugh, cry and form fantastic memories.”

After moving to Scotland, Sarah became part of The Edinburgh Club, and went on to win Commonwealth silver in 2002, compete in three Olympic Games and be crowned European champion.

Although she missed out on the Olympic medals she craved, Sarah is still happy with her career.

She added: “I am not Olympic champion. I have not won the medals I set out to, but I worked hard and prepared diligently to be the best I could be.

“I only ever gave 100 per cent. As I look back over my career, I couldn’t have given any more.

“However, as I got older, I realised that the medal does not make a person.”

Family Outing Ideas in San Antonio

Family Outings in San Antonio

We’re in the brink of the summer time so we thought it’d be a good time to share some family fun outing ideas. San Antonio has tons of awesome opportunities for the kids this summer so make sure to take advantage.

DoSeum // The DoSeum is the perfect place to take the kids this summer. It offers a variety of options for the kiddos including the Big Outdoors and the Spy Academy among a few other activities.

Movies by Moonlight // Movies by Moonlight is a summer activity that is held in Travis Park every Tuesday at 8:30 pm throughout June and July. The movie changes each week and the best part about this event is that it’s free of charge. Make sure you get there early to catch the pre show festivities.

Ripley’s // Ripley’s is another fun attraction for the kiddos. It offers an Odditorium filled to the brim with random and crazy artifacts and is sure to keep the kids entertained.

Wax Museum // The Wax museum is located right next door to Ripley’s and is another fun option for those of you with kids. It features over 200 life like wax figures of your favorite celebrities and is the perfect opportunity for a photo opp.

AMC Theatre // The theatre is located at the one and only Shops at Rivercenter. Cool off with a fun movie day at AMC and maybe hit a little shopping after the movie is through to keep the fun going.

Hemisfair Park // Hemisfair Park has a little fountain area just for the kids to play in and best of all, it’s free. This is perfect when you want to beat the summer heat but not break the bank.

Kiddie Park // Kiddie Park is America’s oldest children’s amusement park. It was renovated in 2009 and offers lots of fun rides and attractions for the kids.

Mirror Maze // This is another downtown attraction that will bring loads of fun for your children. In the mirror maze kids will be able to navigate the thousand mirror maze as many times as they like.

Splash Town // Splash Town is the perfect way to cool down in the hot Texas heat. It has over 50 rides and attractions to keep you occupied all day.

How do you like to spend your family outings here in San Antonio? Feel free to let us know down in the comments.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 to get season pass

The official Call of Duty UK website has revealed that Black Ops 2 will be getting a Season Pass.

It looks like this will cover various content being released later down the line for the game, although it doesn't seem to be related to Call of Duty: Elite.

In fact, according to the homepage, Elite may once again be free, with those looking for extra features being asked to pay a subscription, which would no doubt include free access to the season pass mentioned above.

Here are the details:

Get 4 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 downloadable content Map Packs, delivering a variety of new content, including Multiplayer and Zombies playable content.

- Save $10, at discounted suggested retail price of ?34.99
- Content expected to be available in 2013 ? following the game's launch on 11/13/12
- Check for availability at your local Game Stop or Best Buy.

*Based on Season Pass suggested retail price of 34.99 and four DLC Map Packs at a suggested retail price of $14.99 each.
**Season Pass and DLC Map Packs may not be available on all platforms or in all territories. Pricing and release dates may vary by platform. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 game required; sold separately

It does seem like this has been posted up on the site in error, as it can no longer be found, however it's genuine as seen by the screen capture below.

Thanks, MP1st.

Totally unsurprising.

For a lot of games, and it's a good thing if you are going to buy all the DLC. It's a bit of a leap of faith though buying a season pass on the games release, there's no guarantee you are going to like or even want some of the DLC.

As long as the content is new and not filled with rehashed maps, I think I'll get it

Think I'll wait till I've played the game for at least a month before i make my decision. I hope it's better then MW3 that game was shocking, sold mine after a month!
ukdazza's avatar

So, what's the deal with Elite? I have Elite Premium so that I got the DLC for an all-in-one price plus all the other bits and bobs. I didn't get my Elite until February (when I got back to the UK and bought MW3) thus do I have rollover Elite for use with Black Ops (part of the Call of Duty Elite package I had assumed?) Or do I have to spend more on a season pass for black ops 2 and have elite plus renew it when it expires?! Somewhat confused.

Wow, I was expecting to have to pay 800msp per map pack with the season pass. They've always had horrible pricing for maps. Yet I always bought them...

For once I'm gunna buy the new medal of honor over the CoD franchise, I played Black Ops 2 at eurogamer, and i felt nothing but dissapointment, Medal of Honor however peiced together the best of the world with some amazing gameplay and the online is amazing too!

i really dislike the whole idea of releasing new maps. you pay £40 for a game you expect it to be all in. i don't mind if there released a year after the game but when games are releasing dlc so close to just being released i think it really takes the biscuit.

Really the price of DLC is getting beyond control now I mean it not like Activision need the money. Map packs should be £5 each end off
Dead's avatar
They will be with the season pass, about twenty quid for 4 map packs.
Dead 4 years ago
Loli-Nox-Tan's avatar
Yes I know but I'm talking about DLC in general it is usually overpriced for what you get & when you exchange the rates for USD & GBP it does work out to about that but we all know it isn't that simple in this Europe. Activision will change the most they think they will get away with simple as.
Loli-Nox-Tan 4 years ago
Dead's avatar
Not much you can do about it though, apart from just not buy them, but that's not going to make any difference really, not when there's so many people with more money than sense that lap up anything with the name CoD on it.
Dead 4 years ago
Loli-Nox-Tan's avatar
Don't get me wrong I am glad Treyarch are trying something different for this release but just think Black Ops 2 will outsell Bioshock Infinite by approximately 8 to 1 (Bit of a exaggeration but you get my point)
Loli-Nox-Tan 4 years ago
Dead's avatar
It's probably not that much of an exaggeration, it's stupid how much these games sell when they are basically the same game year in year out with a few minor tweaks, some new maps and a new, incredibly short, story. I gave up on them a long time ago.

I'll buy the game but dead against season passes like CODs and Fifas
s.c.g's avatar
s.c.g 4 years ago
I think I'll 'Pass' on this just like I do every 'Season' that COD comes around... I'll still get the game cheap on release day but I'm not gonna pay extra for more content being that I barely plan to play the online at all, plus I'm already paying for XBL so that will do.
rustyV8's avatar
rustyV8 4 years ago
You shell out for the game plus the money for XBL to get online then they want to just keep sucking more cash out of you with extra DLC and whatever else. At the end of the day is there really going to be a massive difference in gameplay campared to the other COD games....probably not and it'll still suffer with all the usual probs. Hope it's going to be better than MW3 cos that was shocking.
Greigyboii's avatar
Greigyboii 4 years ago
I am pleased this is coming - similar to the premium elite account I held last year for MW3. I always tell myself that I won't bother with DLC for CoD, but i always go back on my word (oops). So this will reduce my costs! :D

Please describe the nature of the abuse:

On one hand, Keith Jardine is a terrible businessman. On the other, nearly everything the 33-year-old mixed martial artist does is geared with an eye toward the future, when fighting can no longer sustain him as it has over the past nine years.

For instance, there are circumstances regarding Saturday's bout between Jardine and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, which headlines UFC 96 in Columbus, Ohio, that don't make sense for an athlete in his position. That is, until those closest to Jardine (14-4-1), alternately and appropriately known as the "Dean of Mean," start talking.

The obvious storyline heading into the pay-per-view card centers on Jardine's refusal to fight Rashad Evans, even if the title shot were to be offered to Jardine. The current UFC light heavyweight champion is perhaps Jardine's nearest and dearest friend. They've said on the record -- and in opposition to their promoter, Dana White -- that a showdown won't happen even if results demand so. It seems, despite one man prospering while the other serves as a perpetual understudy, friendship is not worth fighting over.

"He competes with the end in mind and knows one day fighting is going to be over and all the cheers are going to stop," Evans said of Jardine, whom he befriended in 2005 during the second season of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter. "What is he going to have after that? I think he chose to have close relationships that he forged through fighting, versus making some money that he may or may not have."

Close relationships forged through fighting would be the best way to describe Jardine's time spent at Greg Jackson's gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Before MMA, Jardine's résumé read like a cross section of genuinely American endeavors. He was -- and probably still is, in some respect -- a bounty hunter. Like his father, Keith was a miner. He coached football and was a wild land firefighter. This is the sort of man, said his manager John Madrid, sincerely comfortable with handshake deals and the notion of brotherhood.

"Everything I admire about him he still is," said Jackson, who called Jardine the mentally toughest fighter to cross his path.

"You would have to really dig to find something [negative about Jardine], maybe talk to a girlfriend 20 years back," the trainer continued. "That guy is like Josey Wales says, 'I rode with him and I got no complaints.'"

To hear Evans, Madrid and Jackson, Jardine is a man of few faults and many interests. Art-house films send the 6-foot-2, 205-pound bald-headed light heavyweight's mind in motion, as do the books he regularly carries with him. Old ghost towns and mining communities are utterly compelling to the man from Butte, Montana, and another point of interest he shares with his trainer.

"He's so unassuming, but he's always looking at something intellectual or trying to better himself," Evans said.

Perhaps it would have been easy by looking at him to presume what makes Jardine tick. But Jackson didn't when the stout fighter first walked through his doors.

"It might take you a minute to get there," Jackson said, "but once you're his friend, you're his friend."

Cornering Jardine over the course of his career, Jackson has come to appreciate the Dean of Mean's tenacity and grit. To this day, he remains in awe of Jardine after watching him cut 15 pounds, rehydrate and will his way to a victory in Japan, all within an hour's time. And for as much as he's tried, Jackson has yet to see or make Jardine break, be it in the gym or the 11,000-foot "hill" they traverse in summer's heat or waist-deep snow.

All of it adds up to Jardine being one of the roughest customers in his division, something Evans knows well having sparred hundreds of rounds with him over the years.

"When (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva calls and says you have Keith Jardine," Evans laughed, "you just go 'oh man.'"

Against Rampage (29-7), Jardine faces his third opponent with credentials as UFC light heavyweight champion (Forrest Griffin earned the distinction later in his career). Having knocked out Griffin and out-pointed Chuck Liddell, Jardine and his camp are not at all deterred fighting someone of Rampage's caliber.

In fact, said Madrid, bouts like these give Jardine a sense of purpose to his MMA career, particularly with his close friend sitting atop the division. When Jardine goes through his routine Saturday night, transforming from the man loved as a friend to the one respected for his tenacity and integrity, it's like seeing the light heavyweight portal to an alternate dimension, Evans said.

His eyes bug out. He's aggravated. He yells.

"That nickname suits him better than his real name," Evans said. "But for some reason, as mean as he looks, my 2-year-old loves him."

Kids know best of course, though Jardine is not without his shortcomings as a fighter.

In his second-to-last bout, against Wanderlei Silva, Jardine was rudely disposed of with a vicious knockout in just 36 seconds. This came two fights after suffering an equally brutal fate versus Houston Alexander. But true to his nature, Jardine recovered from both setbacks, setting himself up for what would be an enormous victory over Liddell, the kind that could help define his career even if it never means having fought for a championship in the UFC.

Bad for business, good for friendship. That is a trade Keith Jardine has already made.

The Isles are stuck in the Nassau Coliseum until their lease runs out in 2015. (Rich Stieglitz/Icon SMI)

By Stu Hackel

On Monday in New York's Nassau County, a mere 104,000 voters -- or about one-tenth of the population -- turned out to turn down a new arena for the Islanders, among other projects.

Team owner Charles Wang didn't say much after the results were clear other than to express his disappointment and heartbreak, and promise to honor the team's lease at crumbling Nassau Coliseum until it runs out (video).

That leaves the distinct impression in many quarters that the Islanders won't be around after that. They're going to Brooklyn! They're going to Kansas City! They're going to Quebec! They're going to Portland! They're going to Seattle! They're going to Hamilton! They're going to Hartford!

They're going nowhere.

The Islanders were rejected by the voters because not enough people were motivated to vote, just as not enough people are motivated to attend their games. And why is that? Because this team hasn't been a winner in a long time. But when the Isles were champions or simply contenders, they were a tough ticket, a wildly and passionately supported club. And because Long Island is a proven market, that's all the NHL needs know.

This is, for lack of a better term, The Bettman Doctrine (or the second version of it after he was all about franchise-relocation and "growing the game's footprint" early in his tenure). No franchise gets moved if the league believes the team has been or can be a success where it is and an owner -- any owner -- is willing to keep it there. Charles Wang may not want to keep the Islanders on the Island, but Gary Bettman will find someone else who does.

Now, Bettman has not always been on top of his game when locating owners for the Isles. To review, there was the John Spano swindle followed by the Milstein-Gluckstern debacle prior to the purchase of the team by Charles Wang and his protegé Sanjay Kumar, the top two executives at Computer Associates. Kumar is now serving 12 years for securities fraud and obstruction of justice. Kumar accused Wang of being the brains behind the $2.2 billion accounting fraud that sent him to jail and nearly destroyed CA, but Wang was investigated and not prosecuted. He bought Kumar's share of the Isles in 2006 and reinvented himself as a real estate magnate, but his massive Lighthouse Project development project didn't pan out.

That dubious track record, however, doesn't mean a worthy owner like Terry Pegula, who purchased the Sabres, or the True North group that bought and moved the Thrashers, can't be located and successfully courted by the NHL for the Islanders. We're not talking about a poorly located franchise here. This isn't Glendale, AZ. We are talking about a team that has been historically mismanaged on a massive scale, but that now has a good amount of young talent and a home in a relatively prosperous region with an obsolete arena.

The Islanders are a classic "handyman's special," and if Wang plays his cards right, someone will come along and buy them, maybe even give him something closer to the $187.5 million that he and Kumar paid for the team than the $151 million that Forbes says is the club's value. The new owner can become the hero of Long Island, finance a new arena on his own, spend money to finish the job of building a winner, pack his new building and make everyone happy.

Think no one is out there who can do that? Think -- and I can't believe I'm typing this name -- Jim Balsillie.

Once upon a time not long ago, I thought Mr. Balsillie, great hockey guy that he is, would never get a sniff at another NHL club (I've even made a bet with a friend on it), and with good reason, considering his backdoor attempt to hijack the Coyotes and move them to Hamilton. That gave everyone involved a huge black eye (except maybe for bankruptcy judge Redfield T. Baum). That was enough to make him persona non grata in the NHL owners club, not to mention his previous dalliances with the Penguins and Predators. But Forbes reported in June that Bettman told Balsillie that if he behaved himself, he could still buy an NHL club one day.

That day is here. Balsillie can become the Terry Pegula of Long Island.

OK, maybe Balsillie isn't the right guy. Maybe he only wants to be a hero in Canada and couldn't care less about the Islanders unless he can move them north. And that's fine, but that's not going to work for Mr. Bettman. If not Balsillie, there is someone out there for this team.

The hot rumor is that NBA Nets' owner Mikhail Prokhorov buying the Isles and moving them to Brooklyn, but is it really in the best long-term interests of the Islanders to move them away from their established fan base into Brooklyn, 26 miles west of where they currently play, and into a borough where most of those who are hockey fans have traditionally cheered for the rival Rangers? The huge number of Islanders fans who live east of Uniondale, in Suffolk County, would be loathe to travel into Brooklyn to see home games.  Bettman has already seen that happen in Arizona, where the fanbase the Coyotes established in the East Valley during their years playing in downtown Phoenix hasn't migrated in great numbers to watch them play in Glendale. An Islanders' move to the Barclays Center might very well turn out to be a Phyric victory.

And is it really in the best interests of NHL, having three teams within 15 miles of each other? Those are probably just some of the reasons Bettman said on Tuesday, “Our goal is for the team to remain on Long Island and we still hope that objective can be realized."

Of course, nothing is impossible in the modern business of sports, but judging by the tenets of the Bettman Doctrine and Bettman's own words, the Brooklyn option or a new arena in Queens for the Islanders is not what the NHL wants.

One thing is sure: the NHL will do all it can to keep the Isles on the Island. They just need to find someone to save the day.

Bihar’s ‘fake’ topper Ruby Rai sent to judicial custody till July 8

Patna: Ruby Rai, the arts topper of the Bihar’s Class 12 exams this year, who was yesterday arrested after failing a re-test at the board’s office, was on Sunday sent to judicial custody till July 8.
The Bihar State Examination Board Class XII Arts topper was yesterday taken into custody by Patna Police’s Special Investigation Team soon after she failed the re-test.

Rai, who had achieved infamy after describing political science as “prodigal science” soon after the declaration of the Class XII results, was asked about a dozen questions from the syllabus by a seven-member expert committee of the board.

Re-exams were ordered after she in a TV interview had said political science, a subject she virtually aced, teaches cooking.

Rai appeared before the expert committee constituted by the board to answer questions. The panel cancelled her result after the review.

BSEB chairman Anand Kishore told ANI that she was not even able to reply sample question.

Rai had secured 444 marks out of 500 in the arts stream. However, on camera she did not even appear to know the number of subjects in her course.

The BSEB earlier on June 4 cancelled the results of two toppers, including Sourabh Shrestha, of the Intermediate (Science) examinations after they failed to prove their merits in a re-test. (ANI)

Put the “V” in Victory — Get In The Voting Spirit With The Orla Kiely Lady Parts Justice Willow Bag

Just in time for today’s election — during which all of the 435 seats within the House of Representatives will be contested, along with a hefty portion of US Senate seats (33 out of 100), and a large number of state governorships and state legislature posts — Irish fashion designer Orla Kiely joined forces with woman’s right organization Lady Parts Justice to raise awareness about the need for women to mobilize and hit the voting booth. Through a campaign that uses irony-laden, piquant, irreverent humor to underscore the outrageous nature of the injustices faced by women, Lady Parts Justice makes the conversation accessible to all, relying on clever web videos and tweets to convey powerful messages  — all the while  doing so in a way that’s not dogmatic or preach-y. The organization’s main concern right now: that women take the time to assert themselves during these mid-term elections, thereby  hopefully ensuring that their reproductive rights are not further challenged, that employers compensate them properly, and that voter identification laws don’t leave female voters disenfranchised and unable to place their ballots.

Trailblazers like women’s suffrage activists Susan B. Anthony and Anna Howard Shaw, feminist powerhouse Betty Friedan, and Planned Parenthood co-founder Margaret Sanger would weep over how politicians and state judges have attempted to undermine our rights, the very freedoms that are allegedly constitutionally protected. States like Texas, for instance, have passed mind-boggling voter ID laws that make it virtually impossible for women to vote if the information on their driver’s licenses or state IDs differs from that found within their voter registration documentation. This legal maneuver, then, would make it difficult for a woman who changed her last name after marriage (or, for that matter, after divorce) to cast her ballot. And perhaps more than anything, our reproductive rights are under attack as conservatives try to essentially overturn Roe vs. Wade by making women seeking to terminate their pregnancies face an increasing number of obstacles: from state-mandated ultrasounds to a diminishing number of abortion clinics (the result of TRAP laws that dictate that abortions need to be performed in facilities with services comparable to those found in hospitals). Similarly, many companies are trying to eliminate birth control from being covered by their health insurance plans — simply to lower their overall premiums. And the male-female income disparity persists in the United States despite all the laws that expressly forbid such rampant discrimination in the workplace.

We can’t stand by idly as politicians attempt to take away the rights we spent centuries securing — and that’s the message Lady Parts Justice ultimately hopes to convey.

To show her support for the cause, Orla Kiely joined forces with LPJ to design the Orla Kiely Lady Parts Justice Willow Bag ($95 at OrlaKiely.com), which features one of the designer’s kitschy, retro-flavored prints. The lightweight tote, which was revealed on Sunday, features a screen-printed exterior with a groovy pattern consisting of overlapping red and navy blue flowers. At the center of the front panel, meanwhile, a white circle beckons attention and, within this badge-like sphere, there’s a hand making a “V” symbol with its index and middle fingers. This “V” is emblematic of Lady Parts Justice’s “V to Shining V” celebration, which was held for the first time this past September and which involved women gathering with friends to discuss the need for political action in order to protect female reproductive, suffrage, and employment rights.

The limited-edition bag measures 14″ in height, 12.8″ in width, and 6.4″ in depth and it features two webbing tape handles. Not only does the visual imagery on the bag’s exterior convey a powerful message, but the purchase of this tote helps to keep LPJ’s momentum going strong — after all, $50 of the proceeds from the sale of each bag go directly to the organization.

So, whether before or after you visit your voting center today, support LPJ’s cause by purchasing this perky, playful, yet politically minded tote. And remember: mid-term elections are just the beginning!

Tom Cruise Shows off His Explosion Hoodie in Promo Image for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL

HPE Launches On-Demand Machine Learning-As-A-Service

Editor of eWEEK and repository of knowledge on storage, amongst other things

‘We refer to this as ‘augmented human intelligence,’ so they can generate applications and build these features into their products.’ – HPE’s Colin Mahony

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has joined a growing number of companies—such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, startups Nervana and BigML, Splunk and Salesforce—who see dollar-sign potential in making machine-learning analytics easily available to software developers as a cloud service.

HPE on March 10 launched Haven OnDemand, which provides advanced machine-learning application programming interfaces (APIs) and services that enable developers, startups and enterprises to build next-gen mobile and enterprise applications.

No more are artificial intelligence and algorithmic analytics the exclusive purview of The Data Scientist Club. The fact is, there are not nearly enough data scientists in the world to determine the meaning of all the data that companies are now storing, so this type of application is basically an answer to a cry for help from the IT world.

Available on Azure Cloud

microsoftHPE’s Haven OnDemand, at this early point, is delivered as a service exclusively on Microsoft Azure. It contains more than 60 APIs and other microservices—with many more expected to come—that enable deep-learning analytics on a range of data; these include text, audio, image, social, web and video.

“We refer to this as ‘augmented human intelligence,’ so developers can generate applications and build these features into their products,” HPE Vice President of Big Data Colin Mahony told eWEEK.

HPE also launched a search engine, Haven Search OnDemand, that goes hand-in-hand with the Haven OnDemand service.

HPE (then it was just plain HP) launched the beta version in December 2014. Since then, the platform has attracted 12,750 registered developers to date who currently generate millions of API calls per week and have provided valuable feedback to improve and refine the platform, Mahony said.

Haven OnDemand is a freemium service that enables testing and development for free, and then expands as needed to a usage and SLA-based commercial pricing model for enterprise class delivery to support production deployments.

Some of the capabilities and APIs offered by HPE Haven OnDemand include:

Advanced Text Analysis: Extracts the key meaning from language by employing powerful concept extraction capabilities that go beyond traditional approaches to obtain key concepts, entities and sentiment from text sources.

Format Conversion: Provides key functions to access, extract and convert information wherever it lives by supporting an extensive set of standard file formats and the ability to employ optical character recognition to extract text from an image.

Search OnDemand service: Delivers powerful cultivated search across on-premise or cloud data to deliver superior context-sensitive search results.

Image Recognition and Face Detection: Enables applications to detect specific image features and code around human-centric use cases to identify the gender of an individual or key information such as a brand logo from within an image.

Knowledge Graph Analysis: Automatically delivers insights and predictions related to relationships and behavioral patterns among people, places and things. These capabilities are very useful for analyzing social media and related data.

Predict and Recommend: Enables developers to view patterns in business data to optimize business performance and build a set of self-learning functions that analyze, predict and alert based on structured datasets.

Speech Recognition: Employs advanced neural network technology to transcribe speech to text from video or audio files with support for over 50 languages.

Use Case: Social Capital

eWEEK spoke with Tope Alibi, co-founder of San Francisco-based startup Social Capital, whose analytics-based service helps HR departments find good job candidates by trolling social networks and identifying appropriate personality traits for the jobs. Alibi was a beta program user of Haven OnDemand.

“Our algorithm can handle any type of digital media, which could be email, Slack messages, Skype messages, whatever, but we started with social because it’s free and publicly available,” Alibi said. “Haven OnDemand has been a great tool for us. With it, we identify the ‘big five’ personality traits that psychologists identify with each patient: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

“We do this by finding reflective writing; we find which adjectives you use in describing yourself, your dog, or your friends. We search for functional words that describe how you are communicating, how you are thinking through these things. It’s not what they are saying, it’s how they are saying it.

“We’re in love with the problem of understanding people. This is a general problem. Whether you’re talking about dating, hiring, or just you and your brother, people want to understand other people. OnDemand runs this whole thing for us.”

Arroz Con Pollo

Photography Credit: Elise Bauer

Arroz con pollo means “Rice with Chicken” in Spanish. It is a classic dish of Spain and Latin America, with many different traditional ways to prepare it, unique to various countries.

An arroz con pollo you find in Cuba may be quite different than one you find in Peru. Please read the comments at the end of this recipe to see some wonderful classic versions of this dish.

What follows is my mother’s basic arroz con pollo recipe, which she adjusts depending on her mood and what she has on hand. For instance, she might substitute chipotle chile powder or red chile powder for the paprika.

We never use saffron in our arroz con pollo, but many people do. You can also add chopped bell peppers (cook with the onions) or peas (mix in at the end). It’s an easy, stove-top, one pan dish, great for family meals.

Arroz Con Pollo Recipe

  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 broiler-fryer chicken, about 2 1/2-3 pounds, cut into serving pieces, or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of chicken thighs or breasts, bone-in, with skin on, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup of flour for dredging
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (can use up to 1/4 cup)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups of medium or long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups* chicken stock
  • 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste or 1 cup of diced fresh or cooked tomatoes, strained
  • Pinch of oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt

*Check the instructions on the rice package for the proportions of liquid to rice. They can range from 1:1 to 2:1. If your rice calls for 2 cups of water for every cup of rice, then for this recipe, use 4 cups of stock for 2 cups of rice.

1 Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet (a skillet that has a cover) on medium high heat.

Put the flour in a wide bowl, mix in a generous sprinkling of salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken pieces lightly in the flour mixture and put in the pan to brown. (You can skip the flour dredging part if you want. It just makes a nicer coating for the chicken.)

Cook a few minutes on each side, just enough so that the chicken has browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove from pan and set aside.

2 Add the rice to the pan to brown. Add a little more olive oil if necessary. Stir first to coat the rice with the olive oil in the pan. Then don't stir too much or you will prevent it from browning. Let the rice brown and then stir a little to let more of it brown. Then add the onion and garlic. Cook the onion, garlic and rice mixture, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, about 4 minutes.

3 Place the chicken pieces, skin-side up, on top of the rice.

arroz-con-pollo-method-1 arroz-con-pollo-method-2

In a separate bowl, mix together the stock, tomato, salt, and oregano. Pour the stock mixture over the rice and chicken. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Let cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on the type of rice and the instructions on the rice package, until the rice and chicken are done. Fluff the rice with a fork. If you want you can sprinkle with some peas. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

    I’ve made this several times the way my ex-husband’s aunt, who was from Cuba, taught me. Instead of chicken broth, I cook the rice in beer and add chopped olives. The combination of the beer, tomato and olives is amazing.

  • Laila

    Made this yesterday and it was delicious! I added a good pinch of saffron and heated it in the broth before adding to the chicken. I also added about 1/2 cup frozen peas, chopped delicious heirloom tomatoes and a small amount of hot pepperoncini for kick. Next time I’ll vary it with slivered or chopped almonds or roasted pine nuts for crunch and some smoked paprika. One exception is that I don’t care for wet skin which is what this resulted in when placing a lid on the skillet so 15 minutes before it was cooked I removed the chicken and put it into a baking dish and into the oven at 450F. to brown and crisp up the skin. I highly recommend this if you find the skin wet and unappealing. I browned the chicken well enough in advance as instructed but after adding the rice and liquid and then a lid, the skin softened and was very moist. Although I browned the chicken in the oven, I did however remove the skin before eating but recommend that the skin remain on the chicken so that more flavour permeates into the dish and the chicken retains its moisture. Many possibilities for variations with this dish according to likes and dislikes.

    I made this tonight following the recipe exactly and it was really yummy, and super easy to make. I think I will add more seasoning next time, maybe I will try with saffron. I can tell this is going to be really good leftover too! I always love your recipes!

  • Jt

    I cooked this tonight and it was great!! Followed the recipe exactly, it was super easy and tastes great! I love your website, the recipes I’ve tried are really good!

  • Bree Raymond

    I first made this a couple years ago as a new way to use up some chicken thighs. I’m from Eastern Ontario and I don’t know anyone who has ever made this, or many who have even eaten it. It’s delicious though, and pretty easy so it’s now part of our regular rotation!

    I don’t dredge my chicken in flour, I usually add peppers with the onions, and I decided I like the fresh tomatoes better than the tomato paste.

    What kind and size of skillet do you use? Does that matter much for this? I have a 10″ stainless steel one and a 12″ cast iron, but neither have lids so I have been using my 5 qt cast iron dutch oven as it’s the largest pan/pot I have with a lid. I sometimes have issues with getting the rice to not stick to the bottom and not be a gluey consistency. I’m not sure if the pot/pan has something to do with that, or it’s just me not timing things properly. Maybe I should invest in a new skillet with a lid?
