Bucking the usual status quo of hiring contentious divas, Fox's "The X Factor" has assembled a judging panel that actually gets along.
Executive producer and judge Simon Cowell replaced the two seats left vacant by Britney Spears and L.A. Reid after Season 2 with two people he knew had the music chops and would probably get along with him and returning judge Demi Lovato.
"I've wanted to work with Paulina [Rubio] for years and Kelly [Rowland] did the UK show for me and did a brilliant job," Cowell told TheWrap during a press conference at USC's Galen Center in Los Angeles.
Also read: Fox Announces Fall Premiere Dates: 'X Factor,' 'Bones,' 'Glee' Returns
"So, it was a very easy decision to put these three together and you hope it's going to work and they're going to get on well. And luckily they did," he continued.
In fact, a show insider told us that the three women get along so well that Cowell can sometimes be excluded from the love fest.
"That's the price you pay," Cowell said when we brought the tidbit up.
"The whole cast this year, there's something really special about it," Lovato explained. "And when we come together I feel it's actually a family, which is actually so rare and I feel like it never happens, especially on these shows."
See photos: 'X Factor' Season 3 First Look: New Judges Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio at Charleston Auditions
Lovato declined to compare the chemistry between the current judges with last season's group. Of course, Lovato and Cowell are still up to their playful love-hate antics.
"We have to play referee," said Rowland. "They'll pour water on each other, take each other's microphones…"
In past seasons, Cowell and the show's producers had allowed the various firings and hirings of its judges and hosts to dominate the headlines – by design it felt to some critics.
Yet this season, it announced that host Mario Lopez would be back sans co-host Khloe Kardashian and that it had added Rowland and Rubio with much less fanfare than usual.
Also read: News Corp's David Hill to Oversee 'American Idol,' 'X Factor'
Cowell said that he saw Spears and Reid's departures as an opportunity to differentiate "The X Factor" from other TV talent shows.
"I just thought that all these shows were beginning to blur into the same show," he said.
"I think that what we did well last year was, particularly with the groups Fifth Harmony and Emblem3, was to show that on a show like this you can find an artist who can sell records that sell all over the world. That's really the legacy of the show. It's got to be that when you watch a show, you really believe that you're watching a star being found and developed rather than just a winner."
"That's why we're here," Rubio later added, "to make artists that sell millions of albums and stay here for a long time."
"The X Factor" returns Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 8/7c on Fox.

Even though it's starting to get a little colder (you have no idea how much it pains us to admit that!) we here at Two Saucy Sisters still believe that it is never too cold for a big ol' salad!
That being said, there are definitely a lot of ways to change up a salad to make it more seasonable. Adding cooked, cubed sweet potato or squash adds a nice Fall flair, as do some crisp apple slices. Pair that with some toasty walnuts and creamy goat cheese and you've got yourself a pretty tasty fall-ified salad!
But of course, salad just isn't salad without dressing, now is it? You could just go with your usual oil-and-vinegar combo, but why not make it a little more special?
Something you may not know about us is that the house we live in (when we're not at school) is actually a more than 100-year-old fruit farm. Most of the orchards are gone now and we only have about 3 acres of the original land left, but we do have a few pear trees that still produce fruit every year. So, you can imagine that when our gracious father picked us a whole bunch of them, we needed to figure out a way to use them up before they got too ripe. Who knew the answer would be salad dressing?
Yup- we made a pear vinaigrette! It's a little sweet, it's a little savoury, and it makes the perfect topping for a Fall-inspired salad!
This works really well if you just so happen to have a couple slightly over-ripe pears in your fridge. If you don't, just leave a pear out on the counter for a day or two and you'll be ready to make this tasty dressing. It's simply a matter of throwing the ingredients in a blender and you've got yourself enough dressing for several salads in mere minutes!
So now you have no excuse not to eat your greens 😉
Happy Fall Salad-Eating!
Pear Vinaigrette
Prep time: 5 minutes
Makes: ~1 cup
1 ripe pear
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp white vinegar
dash of salt
pepper, to taste
1/2 c. olive oil
Add all ingredients to a blender except for the olive oil, and blend until the pear has been pulverized. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. Blend for another minute or two to ensure the pear is fully blended and everything is combined. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. (Just be sure to set it on the counter a few minutes before using it, and give it a stir before pouring)
Do you ever make fun salad dressings? What's your favourite way to jazz-up a salad?

Melanie Brown has been granted a restraining order against an Australian paparazzo accused of endangering the singer's life.
The Spice Girls star, who serves as a judge on reality TV show X Factor Australia, launched legal action against Jamie Fawcett after he allegedly ambushed her and her husband Stephen Belafonte last week, while they were kayaking in Sydney Harbor.
In court papers, Brown claimed Fawcett caused "big waves" in his boat as he approached the singer and her personal assistant on the water, prompting Belafonte to confront Fawcett about his reckless actions.
The argument turned ugly and the snapper reportedly snarled, "You don't know who you are f**king with. I will kill you".
During a hearing on Thursday, Fawcett, who denies the allegations, was ordered to stay at least 160 feet (48.8 metres) away from Brown and her family until their next court date on 22 November.
The paparazzo is no stranger to legal action - he has previously clashed in court with Nicole Kidman amid allegations he planted a bug outside the actress' home in Sydney in 2005.
The two parties subsequently reached an out-of-court settlement.

A well-known network correspondent was standing at a hotel bar with his coffee and orange juice. The day was not starting out well.
"There's no news here," he lamented out loud to anyone within earshot, which was me. "What's the point of all this? Why am I here?"
Tampa? No. It was San Francisco in the Orwellian year of 1984.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson wasn't the first to complain. It had taken awhile but by then both political parties had figured out that the raucous nature of their gatherings every four years was delightfully entertaining to reporters and political types but did not exactly inspire confidence with the electorate.
By the time Democrats met that year to nominate Walter Mondale as their challenger to President Ronald Reagan, they had figured out how to take all the spontaneity out of the event.
Then, like last week in Florida and this week in North Carolina, the convention became more of a stage show. The networks' gavel to gavel coverage eventually ended. There was no shortage of pundits who predicted the institution's demise.
So, what happened?
Well, cheap satellite time for one thing.
While the networks turned up their noses to them, local TV stations across the country filled the void by sending their own reporters to cover the local delegations. Then came the resuscitation of AM radio and the talk show format.
Now both have been followed by the Internet and the 140-character instant dispatches via Twitter. Both Tampa and Charlotte will have about 15,000 credentialed reporters, second only in size to the Olympics. (In Tampa, that was about 4 reporters per delegate. It should be 2 to 1 in Charlotte because Dems seat twice as many delegates as Republicans do.)
Even with dwindling media presence, it's doubtful these conventions would go away entirely.
At its core, the political process is not about scripted messaging or TV spots. It is about people and personal relationships. Conventions are milestones of political participation, both for the politicians and those who sacrifice time and money for a cause and an ideal.
That last part Sam Donaldson no doubt knew well. After the juice and coffee were finished, he was on his way. After all, who knew? Maybe an 82-year-old actor with an empty chair would liven things up a bit.

Fashioning Kimono: Dress and Modernity in Early Twentieth-Century Japan
Edited by Annie M. Van Assche, with texts by Reiko Mochinaga Brandon, Akiko Fukai, Anna Jackson, Elise Kurashige Tipton, and Annie M. Van AsscheThis book was published to accompany the traveling exhibition organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. It features 150 Japanese garments dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries from the renowned Montgomery Collection—a collection that includes outstanding examples of informal women's and men's kimonos, haori jackets, under-kimono, and ceremonial/formal garments, as well as children's robes. While the surface designs on many of the garments reflect historical continuity, many more show a radical break from tradition. Western art themes and designs—rather than historical Japanese references—predominate, reflecting the modernization, or Westernization, of Japan at this time. This collection represents one of the most dynamic periods in the history of Japan's national costume. It encompasses the last historical period of what might be thought of as the "living" kimono—when the kimono was still being worn daily by the majority of the people in Japan. After Japan's defeat in the Second World War and the ensuing destruction of all its major urban centers (with the exception of Kyoto), western clothes—more affordable and more conducive to the new post-war lifestyle—quickly came to replace the kimono as everyday wear. The kimono eventually took on a purely ceremonial or formal role, and today—except for the few fashionably daring—it is worn mainly for tea ceremonies, funerals, and weddings.

The Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) recently announced a partnership with the California Student Vote Coalition to provide voter information at college campuses within the County. The goal of this venture is to inform students attending universities within Los Angeles County about registration and voting in the upcoming November 6, 2012 Presidential Election. The partnership includes a number of voter education events coordinated by the California Student Vote Coalition, throughout college campuses in Los Angeles County.
"With well over 100,000 students, Los Angeles County is home to some of the largest colleges and universities in the nation," said Dean Logan, Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, "Students living on campus and away from home should be up-to-date on their options for registering and voting."
The California Student Vote Coalition is a non-partisan effort led by the University of California Student Association and other local Student Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs).
"Young voters today are the democracy of tomorrow, and it is essential that college students feel politically empowered to have a voice in the electoral process." said Logan.
In order to vote in the upcoming November 6 General Election, L.A. County residents must be registered by Monday, October 22 at midnight.
The mission of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is to serve Los Angeles County by providing essential records management and election services in a fair, accessible and transparent manner. For more information, visit www.lavote.net.

Sperm donation in the USA is mainly controlled by large sperm banks. Some of the sperm banks are listed below but there are many more local agencies, which we anticipate to list over time. Since sperm is easily frozen, the sperm banks can generally serve the Salt Lake City, Utah area in addition to the rest of the USA. They may have locations to donate that are different from Salt Lake City, Utah. To qualify, most agencies have height and education requirements. There will also be a thorough evaluation of a donor's health history and that of their family. A sperm donor must go through an application process, of which key sections will be validated for accuracy. Compensation is managed and determined by the individual sperm bank, and sperm donors need to pay taxes on their income generated from this service.
If you are in need of a sperm donor, and you are in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, IVF Clinics can treat male infertility with sperm donation. Sometimes an infertility solution is as simple as using a sperm donor. This is usually the case when there is no sperm or a very poor semen analysis. However, the IVF Clinic may have some options to consider that could still provide a biological offspring. These can include timing, medications, surgery, inseminations, and/or ICSI with IVF. Regardless of using donor sperm or searching for a biological sperm solution, an IVF Clinic can be the administrator of successful male infertility treatment and/or coordinate treatment with specialized referral services and physicians.

Is there a complete list that would include unmarked graves. I was trying to help someone on findagrave by taking a picture of the marker, but I could not find the marker. I would be more than willing to help map it out, but I would need a starting point.

I'm not aware of a complete list; all I've seen is what's on find a grave. You may want to get in touch with the Swansboro Historical Association (who may also want to take on the project) or the Onslow County Museum: http://www.onslowcountync.gov/museum/services.aspx I'll contact SHA and ask them to post a comment here.

Hello all. Love the discussion of the cemeteries. There are town cemeteries in the historic district of which I am aware. The Town Cemetery also traditionally called Ward Cemetery and the older one at the southwestern end of Elm Street. This is the one where some of the graves were covered by the road. In the 1970s the iron casket of Cyrus Glover was dug up during some routine maintaince or action by the power company. One grave Some of the graves dating back to the 1700s is still visible. The rest are under peoples homes or the road. Anthony James and I are doing tours this summer of the town and this site. Respond to this blog if you are interested in attending.
Beth, the Historical Association would gladly support you in mapping the cemetery. Some of this work I think has already been done by the Coastal Genealogy Society. I am currently trying to get in touch with them to find out more for you.

Does anyone have the exact location of the "Weeks Family Cemetery?" I understand it is a cemetery of about 75-80 graves. Is it in Swansboro or Pelletier?

From the Beeb's official Twitter: "shoutout to @Ronnie2K - everyone follow him. good people. thanks for the good time. the eye will heal. ha."
That's a name-check from Bieber—at 17 million followers, the second-most in all of Twitter—of 2K Sports' Ronnie Singh, the label's digital marketing manager. It immediately followed a tweet from Singh that cc'd all of Bieber's entourage, including his talent manager and his director of security. "They can ball to the bay," Singh said.
So, let's get this straight: a 2K Sports rep says thanks, apologizes for giving a pop idol a shiner—to said pop idol's director of security, no less—and gets a retweet and a shout-out from the star. Something smells like motion-capture, but what that means exactly, who the hell knows.
Singh did not immediately return a request for comment from Kotaku, nor did 2K Sports representatives.

DURBAN, South Africa (ECR/CNN) - Fire officials rescued a baby from a storm drain Monday.
Concerned residents heard the newborn crying. One of them climbed down the drain and saw the infant but could not reach her.
First responders dug up the area around the drain and used a hammer and chisel to break it open.
After about three hours, they were able to reach the child, who is believed to be just 1 to 3 days old.
She was flown to a hospital and appears to be in good health.
Local residents named the girl Sibanisethu, which means "our ray of light."

Within two months of having my son, I was up in the air again, to steal a term from the 2009 George Clooney flick. As a professional speaker, you really don't get a lot of say in when you work, you just work when there's work.
On this particular trip I was doing a keynote speech in Houston. After a sleepless night on the road and a busy morning on stage, I boarded the plane for my return trip home. While this might seem like the obvious point in my article when I talk about how much I missed my son, the reasons for the separation anxiety were 99 percent physical.
My girlfriends failed to warn me about the pain that nursing moms endure when they cannot, well, nurse. Twenty-four hours on the road and a three-hour flight didn't help my swollen situation. As a frequent flier, I was lucky enough to upgrade to business class, so without going into too much detail, those hot towels they hand out before your meal came in handy to relieve some of the, umm, pressure I was feeling. Within the first hour of the flight, I knew that I had no choice but to duck into the tiny lav to pump, and pump some more.
While I was worried that the noisy electric pump might arouse suspicions 30,000 feet in the air, I had no choice. As the only woman at the "front of the plane," I was trying desperately to keep my composure, maintaining the mantra that there's no crying in business class.
This was a defining moment, the time I became aware that moms who travel for business have different challenges than their male counterparts.
I can't accurately comment on which gender has it worse, but my personal experience has taught me that women definitely don't have it easy. Aside from the general guilt (aka the women's disease), there are the physical implications if you're a new mother. Fortunately, after three years of motherhood and hundreds of speaking trips, I am confident that these three "be prepared" tips can help other mommy road warriors like myself.
1. Prepare the household. Although my fiancé Chris is a superstar dad, I'm a big fan of organizing the home before I leave. I'm not talking about tidying up, but instead it's critical to look at our family calendar (we depend on Google Calendar to see each other's meetings and appointments) and ensure that child care is covered during the days that I'm gone, and that there is family on standby in case my partner needs help. This means emailing the in-laws about my travel plans well in advance and setting up any play dates to keep my little guy (and big guy) occupied. I also grocery shop for easy meals and good healthy snacks they can have while I'm out of town. The extra work it requires to prepare everything at home will give you peace of mind while you're away, and help you focus on the task at hand.
2. Prepare the kid(s). When my son was an infant, he didn't notice that his mom was away, so it was nice to know that each time I returned home he was excited and unaware that I had been gone for any length of time. As a pre-schooler, I now have to explain to him well in advance that I have to go away for work. I'm not sure how much he understands about what I do, but I'm always keen to share where I'm going and I try to keep him in the loop on what I'm doing and when I'll return. While we used to rely on Skype to see each other, I've noticed that this tool only reminds him that I'm not nearby (sometimes VoIP technology just leads to a little one's frustration). Sometimes I buy a cool toy (e.g. a robot) for him to build, or I download a movie for him to watch when I'm MIA, again, keeping him busy.
3. Enjoy the break. It would be an injustice to other moms if I didn't tell the truth. I have, on occasion, holed up in the corner of an airport–Atlanta to be specific–and cried about how hard it is being the one in the family who is always leaving. These are the days that I daydream about staying at home with my kid (an equally hard job, I know), teaching him to read, baking him perfect little cupcakes, or just doing something deliciously domestic. However, this is not my life. I love to work and I love what I do, so I can only learn how to make the best of business travel. Sometimes this means sitting by a hotel pool for 30 minutes, ordering room service (a meal where I can enjoy every bite), and catching up on my favorite TV shows.
Finally, I always pack light. Think Clooney's character going through security. Yes, that's me, but with a sunnier disposition. I have one small carry-on and a large purse, two outfits max, plus workout gear for the hotel gym. After all, the best part of any business trip is landing back in your hometown and knowing it's just a short walk from the gate to a taxi, no waiting for luggage or any unnecessary delays before the glorious return to family life on the ground.
If you're a business traveler with family, and have useful tips for juggling life on the road and at home, please tell us about them in the comments.

Exploring Friendship With Bridge to Terabithia
|4 – 6
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Six 45- to 60-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Issaquah, Washington
Katherine Paterson's novel Bridge to Terabithia follows the relationship of fifth graders Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke as they meet and become friends. The book can be used as a means for students to understand and explore the value of friendship. In this lesson, which is most appropriate for use in fourth- through sixth-grade classrooms, students make predictions about the book and its main characters, complete character studies as part of an in-depth look at Jess and Leslie's friendship, and relate the characters' experiences to their own as they define friendship and identify ways to make and keep friends.
Character Trading Cards: Have students use this interactive tool to create a trading card for either Jess or Leslie, capturing information that highlights each characters search for friendship and role as a friend to the other.
Roser, N.L., & Martinez, M.G. (Eds.). (2005). What a character! Character study as a guide to literacy meaning making in grades K8. Newark, DE: International Reading Association.
In "Enhancing Literature Experience Through Deep Discussions of Character" Karen Smith writes that "Great characters in children's literature entertain us. They fill our lives with laughter, mystery, and wonder. But equally important, these characters validate who we are and offer us possibilities for whom we may become" (132). Smith has students read an entire book before study begins, checking in with them to answer any questions and ensure they are keeping pace with the reading schedule. She follows the reading week with three or four discussions about the book's characters, looking at their motivations and comparing their lives and perspectives to the students' own.
In the same book, Caitlin McMunn Dooley and Beth Maloch explain in "Exploring Characters Through Visual Representations" that students can effectively use graphic organizers to visually represent their understanding of characters. Charting details helps students explore and apply meaning to multiple perspectives.

This Haunt is a great juxtaposition of the use of lighting color from Something Wicked's yard haunt. Both are awesome and so effective, and are opposite sides of the spectrum. This less intense color has a great faded, old and worn feeling. I love both!

Boston, Mass., Sep 20, 2011 / 05:02 am MT (CNA).- A proposed Massachusetts ballot initiative to allow terminally ill patients to take a lethal dose of prescription drugs corrupts the medical profession and undercuts efforts to prevent suicide, Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston said.
Cardinal O'Malley hoped that Massachusetts citizens will not be "seduced" by language about "dignity and compassion," charging that these words "disguise the sheer brutality of helping people kill themselves," the Boston Globe reports.
He said people of all faiths must reassure the sick and dying of the value of human life and must work to improve end-of-life care.
At the end of their lives, people fear "losing control" and "being abandoned," the cardinal told a Mass for Massachusetts lawyers and jurists at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Sept. 17. He said that society will be judged on how it responds to those "who believe their lives have diminished in value."
Regardless of their religious beliefs, he added, most people "know that suicide is a tragedy, one that a compassionate society should work to prevent."
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley recently certified the language for the "Death With Dignity" ballot question legalizing the self-administration of a lethal dose of prescription drugs for the terminally ill. Unless there is legislative action, it will be placed on the fall 2012 ballot.
The Catholic bishops of Massachusetts are "strongly opposed" to the measure, the Massachusetts Catholic Conference said Sept. 7.
"We are called upon to defend the gospel of life with courage and resolve," Cardinal O'Malley told the jurists. "Your very profession invests in all of you a great responsibility to ensure that all laws are just."
Steve Crawford, a spokesman for initiative sponsor Dignity 2012, voiced respect for the cardinal's opinion but argued the proposal is meant to provide the terminally ill with a choice about how they die.
Cardinal O'Malley said that allowing physicians to prescribe the means for patients to kill themselves is "a corruption of the medical profession."
"It even violates the Hippocratic Oath that has guided physicians for thousands of years," he added.
The cardinal told the Boston Globe that the Catholic Conference plans a grassroots campaign to educate voters about its position.
Education is needed "to help people understand that what this petition is really about is suicide," he explained.
The Massachusetts Catholic Conference said the initiative is "a first step in Massachusetts toward legalizing physician-assisted suicide, effectively authorizing the killing of human beings prior to their natural death."
"The Roman Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts stand firm in the belief that a compassionate society should work to prevent suicide, which is always a terrible tragedy, no matter what form it may take."
It clarified that Catholic teaching emphasizes the responsibility to preserve human life and opposes both euthanasia and assisted suicide. However, Church teaching allows the refusal of "extraordinary means" of treatment that may excessively burden the patient without alleviating his or her underlying condition.

Participants were from different parts of the world and each one shared a photo plus a caption that best capture and describe the Singapore experience with a reunion that they would want to share with family, loved ones, or friends. Words aren't enough to describe how excited I am. I have been to Singapore, but there many things about this country that I have to yet to discover. I am beyond thrilled that I won and I am counting the days until my friends and I fly out for our SG gastro-adventures.
My friends have not stopped thinking about where we think they'd take us. Would it be dining with a view from one of SG's skyscrapers? Or would it be something with a bit of Singapore's night scene? I can go on all day with my my would it be's. I know. I know. I'm stopping right now.Ü The last time I was in Singapore was in 2014 with friends from Brunei and Malaysia. They were gamers who met with SG gamers. Cool, huh? We stayed in the bustling and busy but very Russ-friendly district of Orchard. I liked that this area was accessible, was close to a lot of malls with tons of nice dining options. The guys also took me to my first-ever hawker experience — I forgot where it was but it wasn't in Orchard.
One of the highlights of this trip for me was catching up with some of my high school friends who are now based in the Lion City. It was such a delight to hang with them. We have not gone out in ages so it was super fun spending an evening of awesome food and experiencing a bit of the city life in Singapore. They took me to Clarke Quay to try the Craft Beer at Brewerkz, which a pilot friend of ours frequent each time he flies to Singapore. Then, another friend of mine was such an angel and was kind enough to grant my request to see Bugis. I was curious of what I'd see here because of a mini foodie place that I used to go to in PH. It was called Bugis Singaporean Street Food and each time I'd check-in on Foursquare, people always told me to have a blast in SG. Lol.
I am a little skittish but I know that we will be in good hands.Ü If you are curious about my entry, it's still here . I have 15 minutes left for lunch which means that I need to head out now to grab something to munch. Stay tuned for stories of our adventures and lots of Singapore food photos in the next couple of weeks. This is going to be a different ( in various levels of beautiful ) travel experience for me. Singapore, I'm excited to see you soon!
Have you been to Singapore? If you had the chance to join the SingaporeInvites contest, what Singapore experience would you like to share with your loved ones? ☮..Peace + ❥_Love + Spreading' the Travel Vibes. RUSS.

A labor rights group has accused a supplier of Apple Inc. in China of misconduct including withholding employees' pay and environmental violations.
The report Monday by China Labor Watch said it found violations of the law and of Apple's pledges about working conditions at facilities operated by Pegatron Corp., a Taiwanese company.
Apple said in a statement it was "committed to providing safe and fair working conditions" and would investigate the claims. Pegatron, in a separate statement, also promised to investigate.
Apple said an investigator for the company confirmed one accusation by China Labor Watch – that Pegatron was holding the identity cards of some workers – and ordered the company to stop.

Foley named Hockey Hall of Fame Foster Hewitt Memorial Award Winnerby Chicago Blackhawks / Chicago Blackhawks
"It is very humbling to be recognized for such a prestigious honor and I am overly thankful," said Foley. "Lloyd Pettit and Dan Kelly are long-time heroes of mine and I don't feel as though I belong in the same category as them, but to hear my name anywhere close to theirs is almost unfathomable. The list of people who have helped me immeasurably throughout my 31 years behind the Blackhawks mic is endless, most notably my parents, my family, broadcast partners and countless production crews, and I hope all those folks take great pride in this recognition as well. Being brought back to the world-class Chicago Blackhawks organization by Rocky Wirtz and John McDonough has been nothing short of a thrill and I am forever grateful."
"There is not a more deserving person for this honor than Pat Foley. We are proud that he is a member of our team," said Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz.
Foley, a Glenview, Ill., native has spent 31 seasons with the organization having called Blackhawks games from 1981 to 2006 before returning to the Blackhawks booth for the 2008-09 season. Foley partners with U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer Eddie Olczyk to broadcast all Blackhawks games on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and WGN-TV Channel 9.
Foley was born and raised in the northern suburbs, where he attended Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill., and received a degree in telecommunications from Michigan State University. Foley called baseball and hockey games at MSU before making his professional debut with the International Hockey League's Grand Rapids Owls in 1977.
In 1991, Foley received an Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement–Sports Program Live Series," followed by a 2009 Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement for Individual Excellence On Camera: Programming" and a 2012 Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement for Sports Programs - Sporting Event/Game - Live/Unedited Program/Special." He was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame in 2002, joining local legends such as Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray. The Blackhawks honored Foley for his 30th season as the team's play-by-play voice in a pregame ceremony on April 19, 2013, at the United Center before hosting the Nashville Predators.
Foley will receive his award at the Hockey Hall of Fame NHL Media Awards Luncheon presentation in Toronto on Nov. 17; his award plaque will be displayed in the Esso Great Hall at the Hockey Hall of Fame alongside the 90 past award recipients.
Named in honor of the late "Voice of Hockey" in Canada, the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award was first presented in 1984 by the NHL Broadcasters' Association in recognition of members of the radio and television industry who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and to the game of hockey.

GASTONIA � Athletic success or failure is almost always based on results in the field of play.
That�s why Gastonia Post 23�s American Legion baseball team and its fans felt they had their opportunity to advance into the state playoffs taken away from them late Tuesday night in Granite Falls.
That�s when, after a near three-hour delay due to lightning and rain, the North Carolina Area IV opening-round series between Caldwell County and Gastonia was called.
Since Caldwell had won two of the first three games in what was to be a best-of-five series, it was given the series victory � and advanced on to play Lincoln County in a series that continued Saturday night.
That�s despite Caldwell and Gastonia having split the first four games of the series and despite the two teams playing a scoreless tie through seven innings when inclement weather forced the delay on Tuesday.
�It was a pretty tough night and an even tougher ride home,� said Gastonia coach Josh Cobb, whose team arrived in Gastonia around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning after having its game called at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night. �It was just a bad way for both teams to end it.�
A bad way � and a much-debated way � if you ask many who have seen more forfeits, rulings and gamesmanship in recent years than some think are necessary.
Remarkably, it was the third time in four years Caldwell County has won its opening round series by a decision that didn�t involve play on the field.
In 2010, Caldwell claimed a Game 4 victory when Monroe forfeited because it didn�t have enough players. Last year, Caldwell claimed two forfeit wins over the Queen City Mustangs after Post 29 protested a player that had pitched an apparent series-tying Game 2 victory in Granite Falls before being later ruled ineligible.
So, one day after rumors of Caldwell protesting Gastonia in order to get the series victory filled the Ashbrook High stadium before Monday�s eventual 11-8 Gastonia win in Game 4, Post 23 fans assumed the worst when the series was called after the long delay late Tuesday night.
First-year Area IV commissioner Rocky Bennett said he understood the disappointment that Gastonia felt.
�A nothing-nothing game in the eighth inning is a game you want to finish � for both teams� sake,� Bennett said. �But the playoff deadline had been extended an extra day and you have to draw a line somewhere.�
In truth, it was a week�s worth of bad weather that stole Gastonia�s opportunity, although many would argue it also gave Legion baseball another unwanted black eye.
Entering Saturday�s quarterfinal series games, a record 25 games have been postponed with six more being suspended. And with four playoff rounds scheduled, Bennett had planned for a six-day opening round and had already extended it to a seventh day.
But since there had been discussion of extending the first round even longer � due to one series not even starting until after five days of rainouts � Cobb held out hope that would be the fate of the Caldwell-Gastonia series.
�I�m not upset with Caldwell County or Rocky,� Cobb said. �I just wanted the chance to play the next morning and finish it out.�
It was not to be.
In the game�s aftermath, Gastonia players and fans tweeted harsh commentary on the decision and subsequent outcome.
Bennett said he�s sympathetic to their situation.
�Nobody hurts for what they went through more than I do,� Bennett said. �It was an unusual situation caused by unusual weather circumstances.
�I talked to several Gastonia parents and they were gracious and sincere in their concerns. And I do feel bad for them.�
But the playoffs move on.
What will the cost be to Legion baseball?
It�s not been lost on longtime observers how much travel baseball teams have given standout high school players other options in recent years.
Case in point: When North Carolina and N.C. State both advanced to the College World Series last month, they did so with 11 players from the area that either didn�t play Legion or played only briefly on local Legion teams. That included Forestview High�s Zach Daly and Reilly Hovis of North Carolina � both of whom were eligible to play for Gastonia Post 23 but never played for the local team.
A sentiment that exists among many baseball observers in recent years is that Legion officials haven�t been proactive in trying to find ways to include all players, rather than exclude those who choose NOT to play Legion baseball.
And travel ball supporters have reminded many potential Legion players over the years about that perceived stubbornness in addition to the forfeits, shortened series and other rulings that have left fans shaking their heads.
But Cobb, who just completed his first season as Gastonia�s head coach, is confident the disappointment his team felt in losing to Caldwell County will have future benefits.
�I think, if anything, it should have a positive impact,� said Cobb, a standout player on Cherryville Post 100�s 1998 American Legion World Series runner-up team. �This should make the boys we have coming back be hungrier to come back and feel like they have unfinished business.�

I think that once in a while a situation arises where you have to make a snap judgement and take what you have targeted rather than try and finagle a little bit more.
I think that there is that same snowballs chance in hell that even the stones under the stones won't get turned over in the possible dealing of a netminder.
I also think that Doc may be on to something, there were Canuck rumblings/rumours along the Nash line of thinking when Howson was making his efforts to trade Rick. Maybe Cody and something is going to move that way for Nash and something.
Now wouldn't that be something!
You mean Cory right? Again!!

Dear Annie: We are perplexed as to the actions of our grown children. We were not perfect parents, but consider ourselves to have been pretty good. Our kids grew up in a nice home where friends were welcome, and they were involved in church and extracurricular activities. Now that they have their own homes, my wife and I continue to help by babysitting and lending a hand when needed.
Dear Annie: We are perplexed as to the actions of our grown children. We were not perfect parents, but consider ourselves to have been pretty good. Our kids grew up in a nice home where friends were welcome, and they were involved in church and extracurricular activities. Now that they have their own homes, my wife and I continue to help by babysitting and lending a hand when needed.
But as we find ourselves aging and occasionally needing help from them, no help is forthcoming. Why? What makes adult children tune out the needs of aging parents? We feel hurt by their lack of caring.
— Confused Mom and Dad
Dear Mom and Dad: Have you asked your children for specific help? Sometimes parents expect the children to know what they need, but the kids can be oblivious, assuming their parents are as competent and capable as they always have been. Also, some parents expect grown children with family obligations of their own to do chores that would consume every weekend, when the parents are perfectly able to hire someone to do these jobs. Kids resent this.
Otherwise, please be direct. Say, "We are finding it difficult to change the light bulbs in our house because we are unsteady on the stepladder. Could you come by one day this week and take care of that for us? We'd truly appreciate it." Most kids will step up when asked.
Dear Annie: My 77-year-old grandmother is an incredibly caring and loving woman, and she expresses this through cooking. Granny cooks large meals every day, and if you're around, there's no chance to escape without eating at least one plateful.
Dropping hints or saying you just ate, are on a diet or aren't hungry doesn't work. She says, "Eat it while it's hot!" or "It's not that filling," and suddenly two more scoops of potato salad have appeared on your dish.
I feel trapped. I don't want to hurt her feelings, because I know she does it out of love and because when she was growing up there wasn't always food in the house. But it's no good gorging until I feel sick. It feels like she's trying to feed me to death. Help!
— Stuffed in Pennsylvania
Dear Stuffed: You are right that Granny shows love through food, and it also gives her pleasure to see you gorge. But no matter how much food Granny puts on your plate, you are not obligated to finish it. Practice saying "no" sweetly but more convincingly. Spend some time taking one bite and pushing food around on your plate, and then sit back and say, "I'm stuffed! I can't eat one more thing." She'll insist. You'll repeat. She'll cajole. You'll repeat. She'll act hurt. You'll repeat. Ask whether you could take the food home (where you can do with it whatever you like). Tell her you love her. Ask her to talk to you about her day. But under no circumstances do you have to eat everything she puts in front of you.
Dear Annie: This is for "Mother in Iowa," whose daughter falsely accused her of physical abuse. What a child interprets as physical abuse may be different from what Mom recognizes.
My mother thought it was OK to pull down my panties and spank me with a paddle in front of my father. I am sure neither she nor my father considered that physical or sexual abuse, but I do. She also bit my finger so hard one time that the teeth marks lasted for days.
While I bear the scars, I do not think of her as an abuser, because I am sure she felt her behavior was sanctioned by the Bible and by society. "Mother in Iowa" may think what she did was normal, while her daughter may view it differently.
