All during December, noted author Jeannie Ralston will be donating a percentage of book sales from her new novel “The Unlikely Lavender Queen: A Memoir of Unexpected Blossoming” to CureSearch.
Ralston’s nephew Jacob was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in August, 2007, and endured 25 proton beam treatments at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston and 14 rounds of chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk, VA, both Children’s Oncology Group member institutions. Jacob is currently in remission.
Ralston says “I want to do what I can to make sure that no other children and no other families have to go through the trauma and stress all of us in our extended family felt during Jacob’s illness. I think that would be the best Christmas present children could receive.”
“The Unlikely Lavender Queen” follows Ralston as she reluctantly goes from being a journalist in Manhattan to a lavender farmer in rural Texas. She comes to embrace the change as the most rewarding adventure in her life, as she demonstrates to herself – and to her readers – how to “bloom where you’re planted.”
ABC’s “Good Morning America” has recommended “The Unlikely Lavender Queen” as one of its holiday “Great Reads,” as have Fortune’s “Small Business Magazine” and the Dallas Morning News, among others.

USA Rink Hockey Team: World B Champions
Coaches Comments:
Upon reflecting on the US Teams resent accomplishment, one determining quality has come to my mind; Unity. Our team found ways to win in many different fashions. Whether it was our stiffling defense, or our efficient and timely fast breaks, or our last second overtime goal, unity of our players was the most key factor in our success. There are many people that made our trip a success. But nothing short of team focus and unity could account for us winning this tournament. I will say except for one overtime win, we were for the most part very dominating with our full court man to man defense. Teams just couldnt handle our pressure and deal with the aggressive blanketing defense that caused turnover after turnover. Another improvement in this years team was it ability to be more patient on offense. I had worried that we werent patient enough in prior games but in this tournament we demonstrated perhaps more calm and control than we have ever done before. Again I contribute this to the teams chemistry of unity and resolve.
Id first like to actknowldedge our coaching staff for the find work and effort they put into this tournament. Pat Furgeson was very informative in assisting me on the bench. His timely advice was priceless in my eyes. His 10 world championship experiences was valueable in recommendations and timely substitutions. My appreciation to him and his contribution to our success was very evident. To Ron Torvik, our Goalie Coach, Trainer, and motivator. Rons presence as a leader was very important and his work with our goaltenders priceless. Stallman was by far the best goalie at worlds and a very important ingredient to our team. He was scored on only 6 times in 6 games. Also, Rons work ethic and intelligence on the goaltending was nothing short of supurb. Rons training technics are evident in Brians style and performance. And we owe alot to Ron and the time he put in helping Brian Stallman and all US goaltenders improve their skills. We would like to thank the other coaches as well. Daniel Vianna used his experience and input and help us in many ways assisting the players and adding advice to our coaching staff. He attending meetings with Barbra and assisted in the politics that are always evident in these types of tournaments. A special thanks to our team manager Don Allen. He performed his role honorably and he is a very supporting member of our staff who handles those arrangements that are outside the realm of playing hockey. Don and Barbra both helped our team in politics by filing a protest when organizers wanted us to play a playoff that was not fair or visited until after the tournament was underway. This protest was upheld and we stood for somethngs that nobody else seemed will to stand for. Thus my saying; if you dont stand for something, you stand for nothing. I am greatful that Don and Barbra stood for was was right and thus gave us an opportunity to allow our team a chance to compete fairly.
As for our players; our team captains Josh Englund and Brian Moyer were more than most teams could handle. Their leadership on and off the floor paved the way for us to be solid in our backcourt. Im not sure which one scored more, but one thing is for sure their shots from the outside were very effective and goalies must have feared the inevitable. Josh and Brian have incredible velocity and quickness on their shots which proved to be very valueable in our success. Also, Josh and Brian had great ball handling and control skills that kept our offense patient and orderly, which usually is one of our flaws, but on this tournament, we were in control of the possession and flow of the game. They both were instrumental in leading our offense and defense.
In our forward positons the combinations of Dylan Sordayhl and Cameron Torvik, provided our team with solid defense and quickness around the cage that led us to many timely important goals. This young tandum would be a force to deal with when we were full court pressing. Dylan vertually blanketed his man suffocated any opportunity for is matchup to score, and on offense Dylan played a solid no nonsense opportunistic game of timely goals and assists. Cameron imposed his will in and around the offensive cage with timely slot goals and baseball like scores. Camerons defense was also superior to those attacking him. His quickness and recovery stiffled many good opposing forwards to frustration.
Our Bench was definately the reason that we were a superior team. Every coach wants a bench he can count on, and I had exactly that. A Reliable bench to relieve the starters or perhaps give us a needed boost. Everyone contributed and everyone on our bench played and scored. For those who do not know my system of coaching, this years bench speaks volumes of how we can use our players to aid in our own success. Alex Forbes usually first of the bench provided speed and defense for players who started. He not only defended well, but was creative on offense and accounted for several goals that he created on his own. Mike Trussell came off the bench and provide our team with control and stabilty in the backcourt as he usually came in releif of either a forward or defensemen. Chris Gibson provide his speed and defensive tenacity that sparked us at times when we were in need. Chris made some nice assist but his quickness and speed was most notibly evident. Kevin Hayes, our oldest team member, played nicely in several games. He too scored and was an asset that could play well as this level. Kevin is a thinker on the floor and showed that he could come in a break our players with solid defense and offense when called upon.
Our Goaltender Brian Stallman, was nothing short of outstanding. Teams has to deal with our strangling defense full court man to man pressure and then if they were fortuneate enough to get by that, they would encounter our half court man to man help trap defense which was no easy feat to beat in itself. Then our last line of defense was Brian. Brian came up big in games that we needed a big save. Perhaps a missed assignment or well created opportunity Brian was there to make what seemed like a tough save look easy. In our simi final overtime game Brian came up big more than once. The south africans were good at scoring near the goal and feeding the ball inside effectly. Brian held a team that had been scoring a average of 6 goals a game to only one. For those who think that any goaltender can play at this level without proper training and word ethic, they are badly mistaken. We hope that more US Goaltender will bring the professionality and effort in practising and playing that Brian has. As for leonard Burnett our second goalkeeper. We are greatful that a young man of 15 years of age had the opportunity to be apart of this team and its landmark accomplishment. Leonard played in some of the games as a coaches decision to rest Stallman and give him an opportunity to learn. Leonard did well and we anticipate this experience will be valueable in his growth into accomplishing greater successes.
As for myself, Jim Trussell, I have had no greater accomplishment than to be rewarded with such fine young men inwhich I am permitted to coach. This team bonded in a way that I thought not possible. They were fair with each other and treated other teams with respect. They were focused on the task and goals of winning this tournament. They listen to my coaching but more than that, they applied the coaching given to them on the floor. It is a very beautiful feeling to experience success with this group of young men. They were thankful to me, but I in return am more thankful to them. This team I surmmize is a expression of love and sacrific. I have been teaching that success comes by 4 qualities. Passion, Effort, Attitude, and Knowledge. They in themselve have proved all of these points by their dedication both in mind and body. Theyve worked hard these last two years. They utililized a new found winning attitude, and above all, they were able to learn truth and use it their game.
To all those players who attending our training camp and to those who support our quest I express my deepest thanks. At time our program may be riduculed by some, but results do not lie and our accomplishments will speak for themselves in the end. Many of the parents who attended this tournament with us were very helpful in documenting stats, or recording games. It is my personal belief that everyone can be apart of our success and that we actually perpetuate success to the entire world by our fine play. A special thanks to all those that see our program positive and I thank everyone for your support.

Vladimir Martinec was one of the smartest and most technically skilled European player ever. It is doubtful if there has ever been any player in Europe as eager to improvise as Martinec. He was extremely creative with the puck and drove his opponents crazy.

Few players were treated more brutally than Martinec. This small (5'9" and 178 Ibs) right wing somehow always seemed to bounce back totally undisturbed and more often than not with a smile on his face. His constant smile was a sort of a trademark and frustrated his opponents even more. A lot of reporters used to ask him why he always was smiling, even after a vicious crosscheck in the back. He said that he did it because he enjoyed the game so much and always had fun.

It was evident that he loved the game as he always did something extra with the puck that left the fans absolutely stunned. Martinec was known as "The Fox" for his cleverness around the net as he simply outsmarted his opponents. He was extremely popular among his teammates who knew him as "Marcello".

Martinec was born on December 22, 1949 in Lomnice nad Popelkou where he learned to play hockey on the local ponds. He played there for a local team between 1961-65. He then went on to play his entire career in Tesla Pardubice between 1965-81, with a half year interruption in 1978-79 when he played for the Army club Dukla Jihlava.

In Pardubice he formed one of the most dangerous lines in Europe during the 1970's together with Jiri Novák and Bohuslav Stastný. They scored over 800 goals together in Pardubice. During his 14 years in the Czechoslovakian league he scored 343 goals in 539 games. He was the league's top scorer in 1979 (42 goals) and won the league title in 1973. After his domestic career was over he played in Germany for ESV Kaufbeuren between 1981-85.

Internationally Martinec played 289 times for Czechoslovakia and scored 155 goals. He led the team to three World Championship titles (1972,76 and 77) and was selected as the best forward in the 1976 World Championships where he won the scoring title. Martinec was also named to the All-Star team four years in a row (1974-77). All in all Martinec scored 110 points (52+58) in 102 World Championship games.

His childhood idol growing up was Vlastimil Bubnik, a Czechoslovakian hockey star in the 1950's and 60's. Martinec has said that the best player he ever played against was Phil Esposito. Martinec never played in the NHL but he was drafted by Hartford Whalers in a special Czech draft in 1981. His dazzling moves would certainly have caught a lot of NHL defensemen off guard, but unfortunately he never got the opportunity to showcase his artistry.

After his playing career was over he became a coach. He was the assistant coach when the Czech Republic won the Olympic gold in 1998 and became the World Champions in 1999.

Special thanks to Patrick Houda.

In the following YouTube footage you can watch highlights of a 1976 game between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. Martinec is #10.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
I was never taught this growing up. I was taught that I will fight against sin and struggle with sin my whole life. I was taught that I will sin and, for the most part, there was nothing that I could do about it. The main scripture that I was taught was 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. A free pass to sin, right? And I did. I committed sins with every intention of asking forgiveness for it later. I felt this odd, but it went along with the teaching I'd heard. Had I ever been shown this passage in Romans (v.1), I would have known better (serves me right for not studying on my own).
I don't claim to be a perfect human. I don't claim to be sinless. With the death of Jesus, with me following Him into His death, He frees us from the bondage of sin. If He says we are dead to sin, do you think He expects us to have to conquer sin on our own. When we were resurrected with Him, we were resurrected with His power to combat sin.
When we do sin, we, being a new creature clothed with Jesus, take Jesus into that sin with us. It is not our old man sinning. Our old man is crucified and dead (v.6). The old man is not resurrected. If we say that our old man still lives, we say one of two things. We are not saved because we did not crucify the old man; or Jesus Christ's crucifixion was not sufficient and needs to be crucified again. We know this not to be true because of verses 9 and 10.
When we are under law, or our physical self trying to live a sinless life (or our sinful self), we are condemned by the law. We are married to that law. We want to be rid of that law and be under (or marry) grace, but we can't be married to Christ and His grace while we are married to the law. We need to wait until our first marriage partner (law) is dead. When the law is dead (allowing the old man to be crucified) we are then free to be bound to Jesus Christ and His grace. This is Romans 7:1-4.
This isn't difficult to comprehend, but it is contrary to what I have been taught. I find this right in scripture (as you see above). Jesus is not going to give me a commandment not to sin and then just leave me to figure it out on my own. He has taken care of it already. We just need to claim it. Why do we set people up to sin. Why do we expect it. It's because we have given them a free pass to sin by using the 1 John passage. This has been used by those who have tried to justify their own sin by saying we are all going to sin so get used to it; oh, and by the way, you're baptized now so here's your card. Yes, we are free to confess our sins to be forgiven, but this is not something we should be abusing, taking for granted or taking advantage of. This should be a rare occasion. Not something that we include in our form prayer every night before bed. This should be a sorrowful occasion. Like King David's confession in Psalm 51. He didn't weep just because he had been caught in a sin. He wept and cried out to the Lord because he had sinned against God. No, this probably was not his first sin, but I'm sure he didn't hold on to the philosophy of 1 John 1:9 as a trump card either. I think we too often do.
These were my thoughts this weekend. We freely sin, hoping God's grace doesn't run out, rather than living holy lives. We want to hold on to the old man as a scape-goat. We need to wake up to the realization that Christ has already settled this. I think Satan makes us think it's harder than it really is. He puffs himself up by whispering to us that we have no power over sin. Sin is going to happen so just let it happen. Sin should not just happen. Our sinful self was crucified with Jesus. Let's act that way. Have you been crucified, yet.

MGoBlue.com has posted the 2008-09 hockey roster.  Here are the freshmen numbers:
#2 - Greg Pateryn
#6 - Brandon Burlon
#23 - Luke Glendening
#25 - David Wohlberg
#27 - Robbie Czarnik
Also, a poster on Rivals noted that in Tim Millers bio it lists him being the recipient of the Michael Comrie Endowed Hockey Scholarship.  Its great to see a former player give back (Im sure many have given back, its just this one is more publically known now).
Comrie was a Wolverine standout from 1998-2000 and compiled 103 points in 82 games.  He was named a Hobey Baker finalist his sophomore year, then jumped to the WHL to take advantage of the Van Ryn Loophole.  Cormie has bounced around during his NHL career and presently plays for the New York Islanders, but he is probably more known for dating Hilary Duff these days.

Here is the Here is the Bitter Eagle's Top 25 for the week of 09/21-09/27:

Rank Team Change

1. USC

Oregon St. owns USC. USC's ugly loss will be reflected in next weeks Top 25.

2. Oklahoma

One of the most intriguing matchups this weekend is OK against TCU. Both teams are high scoring teams, which means this game can turn out to be a shoot out. Also, OK is probably looking for some revenge from TCU's victory a few years ago.

3. Missouri

Chase Daniel had an "off" day against Buffalo. He threw a record 20 completions in a row, but he did throw a whopping 7 incompletions in the game. Missouri's defense continues to be a source of heartburn for all Missouri fans.

4. Florida

Took care of business in its first real challenge of the season. Tebow better start turning his numbers up real soon or he might be a forgotten figure in the Heisman race.

5. Georgia

The best receipe to win on the road is to jump out to an early lead and never let your opponent get close. Georgia worked that to perfection against ASU.

6. LSU

Once again Les Miles is able to pull a rabbit out of his hat against Auburn.

7. Texas

McCoy was both the leading passer and rusher against Rice. Further, he set the career record for TD passes at Texas with 62. Oh yeah, he's still only a Junior.

8. Penn St.

Madison - Sophomore cornerback Aaron Henry speaks openly and sincerely about his faith in God.
He refuses to complain about the knee injury and two subsequent surgeries that have combined to keep him on the sidelines through Wisconsins first three games this season.
Henry is at ease saying he will let God determine whether he will play this season or redshirt and return in 2009.
However, after listening to Henry describe his physical condition tonight after practice, it appears only an improbable turn of events will allow Henry to play this season.
To be completely honest, as bad as I want to go out there and contribute, right now I can said Henry, who had hoped to make his debut this week at Michigan. I cant man. I cant.
And sometimes youve just got to be smart about the situation. The Lord sends us all kind of signs and youve got to be smart.
I know everybody is expecting this great, great comeback and I want to be the man to give it to them but its hard to do that when youre not physically ready or physically able to.
Henry suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during bowl practice last December. He was cleared to practice in preseason camp, which opened Aug. 4, but midway through camp had to undergo a second surgery to repair his meniscus.
During his rehabilitation after the second surgery, he began experiencing pain his hamstring, pain which then began radiating to the front of his knee.
He received an anti-inflammatory injection earlier this week.
According to Henry, he can run in a straight line and backpedal at a modest speed. But he still feels discomfort during those basic moves.
To be completely honest with you, if you would ask me if I could go out there and cover one of our tight ends, Id tell you I can Henry said. Everything it takes to be a Big Ten cornerback...just being in the right position and to make plays, I just cant do that right now as bad as I want to.
Including the Big Ten Conference opener Saturday at Michigan, UW has nine regular-season games left. Henry said he has not set a minimum number of games in which he would need to play in order to continue the comeback attempt.
m taking it day to day, he said. As (much) as I know how good this team can be and as (much) as I know I can contribute, when it is all said and done this knee is going to be with me forever.
I have to do - I dont want to sound selfish - but I have to do what is best for (me)...
If I know my knee is not where I want it to be, I dont want to be a liability to the team and be the reason why we lose.

This was the first year that USA Hockey sent both their U18 and U17 team to compete at the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minnesota, and I think it was a pretty big success. While all the games drew pretty decent crowds and a fair number of scouts, the games featuring the USA teams always drew the most people. I think people were curious to see the NTDP teams play because it gives people a first look at the U17 team, and a first look at the U18 team in their draft year.

I saw the U17 team's first three games and the first two games of the U18 team. I'll give a few opinions on what I saw, starting with the U18 team.

The U18 team

They finished the tournament with 2 wins and 2 losses. Jeremy Morin only dressed in two games. You can probably guess which two. I don't think that was a coincidence either. This team is likely going to be defined by incredible top end talent, but very little in the way of depth. Without Morin, the offense looked pretty stagnant. There was way too much play on the offensive perimeter with guys who aren't suited for that style of play. The powerplay mostly consisted of defenseman blasting one-timers from the point, which were often ineffective because there was no one in front of the net for deflections or rebounds.

I think once this team gets into the college portion of their schedule, they--much like last year's team--will start playing a little better just because they're force to. The big question will be how far can their top players carry them this season, and will the lack of depth come back to haunt them.

Here are some individual thoughts on players, and whether or not they helped or hurt their draft stock this weekend:

Cam Fowler: Not eligible for the draft this year, but should go early in the first round next year. Played very sloppy in their second game, but overall, has an unbelievable amount of talent. He may not ever leave the ice in critical games for the US. Draft Stock: Too early to tell. I'd say he's at worst a top 10 pick next year. How he performs next year will likely determine where in the top 10 he goes.

Jeremy Morin: One of the most explosive goal-scorers the US has ever had. The one player that looked absolutely dominant against weaker competition. Draft Stock: Teams will wait and see how he does against better competition, but he could move into the top 10 in the draft.

Drew Shore: I don't think he played very well, despite finishing with a nice point total. Everything just seemed a little off. The size and skills are there though, and you can probably chalk it up to being early in the season. Draft Stock: I'd hold him steady at a late first/early second round draft pick.

Sam Calabrese: Played forward the whole time and didn't really do much. Draft Stock: I'd be surprised if Calabrese got drafted.

Ryan Bourque: One of the better US forwards on the first night. He was skating hard and making plays all over the ice. Draft Stock: I'd move him up from where I had him listed in my draft rankings.

David Valek: Got knocked out early in the second game with what looked like a concussion after scoring a pretty goal. He was one of the guys that should have been grinding in front of the net rather than trying to play on the perimeter. Draft Stock: Down a little.

Chris Brown: I continue to be impressed with how he's playing. He's big, skates well, and throws his body around. Plus, he's starting to get time with the top lines and his point totals look to be going up. Draft Stock: I already had him fairly higher, but he might move up even higher.

John Ramage: Played pretty well for being a newcomer. He should be reliable defensively, though his aggressiveness should put him the box fairly frequently. Draft Stock: Up a little bit.

Kevin Lynch: Not the prettiest player to watch, but very effective. Can stickhandle around any defender one-on-one, though I'm not quite sure how. Draft Stock: Should stay about the same.

William Wrenn: Not that noticeable, which is good for a defensive defenseman, though he wasn't exactly dominant from the blueline. Draft Stock: I probably had him a little high, and he should move down a little bit.

John Henrion: Looks like a very good player, though he didn't do a lot in the two games I saw. You can probably chalk it up to being a new guy. Draft Stock: He'll get drafted somewhere; how high will depend on how he adjusts to playing for the US.

Richie Crowley: Got moved to forward after Valek's injury. Was decent on the blueline and invisible as a forward. Draft Stock: Probably moving down, but I think he can still contribute as a defenseman.

Nick Mattson: Not the most physically gifted, but sees the ice unbelievably well and made some incredible passes. It's fun to see him get the puck on his stick just to see what he'll do with it. Draft Stock: He'll be in the 2010 draft. He's not a definite first round pick, but should be drafted somewhere in the first day.

Kenny Ryan: Played on the the third line and was pretty quiet. Draft Stock: Too talented to not be drafted somewhere, but probably somewhere later in the draft.

Brendan Rempel: I've never been overly impressed with Rempel and I thought he really struggled here. He's new though, so there will probably be an adjustment period. Draft Stock: Down a little bit.

Chris McCarthy: Also on the third line with Ryan and was pretty quiet. He showed some flashes of offensive brilliance, but I don't think he'll be a huge offensive contributor this year. Draft Stock: May play his way into being drafted this year.

Tyler Amburgey: Played pretty sparingly. Was a forward on Thursday. I saw him take a few shifts on defense on Friday. Draft Stock: Not seeing as much will probably hurt him.

Brandon Maxwell and Adam Murray: Both goalies did not look their sharpest. Maxwell let in 8 goals on 39 shots, Murray let in 8 goals on 40 shots.

When Wisconsin Beats North Dakota: @ UND 10/31 11/1, KC 3/6 3/7

07/08 Recap: North Dakota has gotten into somewhat of a routine the last few seasons. They started off luke warm, splitting basically every series before Christmas. Following the holidays, they put it all together and rolled most of their opponents, until tying St. Cloud twice at home to end the season and any chance Wisconsin had at home ice in the WCHA playoffs. The Sioux fell just short of CC for the MacNaughton. North Dakota lost a close one to Denver in the WCHA playoffs before beating CC for 3rd place. North Dakota ended up in the Midwest Regional where they faced off against our Badgers after beating Princeton. Though the Sioux were down through two periods, they came back to win in OT. Hakstol made it four for four in Frozen Four appearances only to run up against their playoff kryptonite in the eventual champion Boston College Eagles.

In between all that, Wisconsin had an early season home series against the Sioux, which ended in a shuffle that saw ten skaters being sent to the showers before the final whistle and a post game confrontation between Hakstol and Coach Eaves. North Dakota didnt stop their thuggish ways following that game. During a series w/ Denver, several fights occurred and the WCHA officials did their best to promote the Siouxs disorderly ways, by not ejecting players for their conduct. And then there was the Joe Finley/Blake Wheeler square dance during the handshake line against minnesota, not to mention the extracurriculars that led up to that.

08/09 Thoughts: I dont expect much to change w/ North Dakotas thuggish ways this season. As much as I belittle their thuggishness, they have one hell of a program and I give them credit for their yearly success. This should be a trying year for the Sioux, as they lost more than any other WCHA team to graduation and early departures. Gone is top forward TJ Oshie to the St. Louis Blues. Gone are outstanding defensemen Robbie Bina and Taylor Chorney to the Edmonton Oilers system. On top of all that, Jean-Philippe Lamoureux is gone, leaving a gapping hole in net for the Sioux. Only Denver has as big of void to fill in net w/ an unproven WCHA netminder. What North Dakota has going for it is a great recruiting class and a solid group of returning players. I recognize almost all the new names, and they are all big time DI recruits. While the Sioux have lost a lot, they also have a lot coming in. It will be a big year for Ryan Duncan to see if he can still succeed w/ out Jonathon Toews AND TJ Oshie. I still think his Hobey Baker was a function of his teammates, not his ability level. Chay Genoway should anchor the blue line and Chris VandeVelde could be ready for a breakout year. At the end of the day (or season) I think the Sioux recent tradition of slow starts will put them too far behind the MacNaughton, but right in place for another NCAA appearance probably when the team is peaking. Im sure Boston College will be there to end their season again.
