Dan Borislow wasn’t the nicest person in the world to begin with, but the fact that he was so petty enough to be willing to force WPS to suspend operations is frustrating and sad. So now the players are starting to drop dimes on just how nice of a boss Dan was.

Tasha Kai is supposedly putting something out today that discusses WPS and the National Team a little more (which might address how/why Abby Wambach swears by Borislow). We’ll see how many more folks will come out and tell the tales.

Morning everyone!
This evening I got asked to be a panelist at Mason’s College of Science career night. They figure that my young age, the fact I have worked in my field both before and after graduation, and now that I am going to grad school at Mason would provide the undergrad students with someone they could more easily relate to, than the older, deep in their career people.
I like Laich, but I <3 Green

Good morning Red. Wow! That’s really cool. So, the panel is tonight? What will you say?
There's always more to learn about Hockey.
Basically we just have to introduce ourselves, say what we studied, and how it has affected our career and what other types of options are around. So just that 5 minute or less introduction, then it is a Q and A period with the students there. There are supposed to be up to 200! Should be interesting. It is supposed to be 6-8, but I am ducking out early to not miss the start of the caps game. I don’t really have that much useful information aside from APPLY EVERYWHERE and get lucky.

Disgusting Fridge wars
So, we have two ‘public’ refrigerators for the students and researchers to use. Needless to say, they are frequently revolting. The one on my floor has been cleaned recently, though, because of threats of a fridge-ectomy coming from the main office. The floor above us, who claimed their fridge was FAR cleaner than ours, hasn’t done a damned thing. I had to go look at it and report back to the main office.
That which has been seen and smelled cannot be unseen nor unsmelled. EWWWWW.

Ugh..that sounds like my fridge when I have been gone so not there to clean out my roommate’s crap. Not fun.
Worst ever though is when I volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity restore back in high school. people would donate fridges without cleaning them out and by the time they had gotten to the store they had been off for a LONG time…

Oh man...R.I.P. Don Cornelius
RIP: Don Cornelius, creator and host of the legendary musical variety show Soul Train, was found dead this morning of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot wound in his home in Sherman Oaks, California. He was 75.
Introducing many Americans to soul music through his hit TV show which premiered in 1971, Cornelius helped promote the careers of such musical icons as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Michael Jackson.
He is perhaps best remembered, even among non-viewers, for his signature catchphrase, with which he would end each show: "I’m Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!"

I read a great quote from him the other day:
A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person – perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.
From Cosmos I think.

Romneyism of the Day: Mitt Romney has come under fire this morning — less than 24 hours after winning the Florida primary — for telling CNN’s Soledad O’Brien that he isn’t concerned "about the very poor" because "we have a safety net there."
When pressed on this statement by O’Brien, the presidential candidate reiterated his commitment to fixing any holes in that safety net, but also took the time to repeat the phrase "I’m not concerned about the very poor," which was undoubtedly a very poor choice of words from the man who would become one of the richest presidents in US history.

What The Kids Are Eating of the Day: Ruled not good enough by America’s largest fast-food chains, the so-called "pink slime" — meat and meat by-products treated with ammonia — is still A-OK by U.S. Department of Agriculture standards.
In fact, the USDA will reportedly purchase over 7 million pounds of the gunk to turn into hamburgers and tacos for cafeterias feeding America’s schoolchildren.
McDonald’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell were all persuaded to stop using ammonia-treated meat after the practice of rinsing dog-grade meat with ammonia to wash away harmful bacteria was brought to the attention of consumers by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
"We’re taking a product that would be sold in its cheaper form for dogs," said Oliver on his TV show Food Revolution. "After this process, we can give it to humans."
But a USDA spokesman said there were no plans to stop using pink slime as part of the national school lunch program.
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration as well as the Food Safety and Inspection Service considers ammonium hydroxide as ‘generally recognized as safe,’" said the spokesman, Aaron Lavallee. "FSIS reviewed the suitability of Beef Products Inc.’s use of ammonium hydroxide in order to assess its effectiveness in performing the intended technical purpose of use, at lowest level necessary, and to ensure that the product is not adulterated or misleading to consumers."
However, since ammonia beef falls outside the jurisdiction of federal labeling requirements, parents have no way of knowing what exactly is being served to their kids.

I would be a wreck trying to deal with all the additional necessary stuff you need to be on top of to try to protect a child.

Yep. It’s like sand and dirt. After you have a few kids you realize they’re going to eat dirt at the playground and sand at the beach. The trick is to regulate it…a daily limit…LOL
Dirty kids are generally healthy kids. Constantly disinfected homes raise kids with poor immune systems.
You’re the boss, applesauce.
I hear that. the other day my daughters, who are 4 and 6(in 2 weeks) poured Cheerios into the "Let’s go Fishin’ " game to “feed the fish” and then proceeded to eat the Cheerios as they caught the fish. I started to protest and then said “nah fuck it, they’ll be fine and I don’t want to fight with them on this one”
as long as the cats aren’t using the game as their litter box, there can’t be anything too terrible that might get ingested alongside the cheerios, right?

Oh, btw, I posted in Clips this afternoon! I’ve had my hand slapped a few times so I don’t post often, but I felt the need….:-D

Thx. I’m careful to only post when I’m confident in my opinion. Today’s conversation was about….wait for it….guess again…Goalies!
I so rarely go over there. I only come to this hockey block to find links to hockey articles and NOT talk about hockey.

WASHINGTON — In a stunning break with First Amendment policy, House Republicans directed Capitol Hill police to detain a highly regarded documentary crew that was attempting to film a Wednesday hearing on a controversial natural gas procurement practice. Initial reports from sources suggested that an ABC News camera was also prevented from taping the hearing; ABC has since denied that they sent a crew to the hearing.
Josh Fox, director of the Academy Award-nominated documentary “Gasland” was taken into custody by Capitol Hill police this morning, along with his crew, after Republicans objected to their presence, according to Democratic sources present at the hearing. The meeting of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment had been taking place in room 2318 of the Rayburn building.
Approximately 16 officers entered the hearing room and handcuffed Fox amid audible discussions of “disorderly conduct” charges, according to Democratic sources present at the arrest.
“Gasland” received strong critical acclaim and takes a critical eye toward the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” a process in which several tons of highly pressurized water and chemicals are injected into the ground, allowing valuable natural gas to escape. The practice is decried by ecological experts for destroying ecosystems and polluting groundwater. The energy industry keeps the actual content of fracking chemicals secret.
Fox had hoped to film Wednesday’s hearing for a follow-up to “Gasland.”

crazy. I’m assuming the charges will be quietly dismissed by the AG when they look at it. the Capital Hill police should be embarrassed by their actions as well.
they’ll do something really dumb, like charge him with something that give him the option of a jury trial. He’ll opt for it. The prosecution, knowing there is absolutely no way they’re going to get a conviction because the jury is a DC jury and they’ll vote “innocent” the moment they hear “House Republicans,” will drop the charges. But it’ll get all the way to the judge before they drop.

They don’t want anyone to get in the way of all of that sweet SuperPac money from the frakcing firms.
