The mutual trust thats been built between John Tortorella and his players has become an essential ingredient of the Rangers DNA.
But even as the coach whose whistle has been at least temporarily silenced reiterated his trust in his athletes yesterday during a phone conversation with The Post, Tortorella also admitted concern over the effect the lockout could have on the Blueshirts intelligent design.
To be quite honest, it worries me, Tortorella said. When our guys report to camp in September under normal circumstances, they have a physical and mental edge from preparing for our testing thats extremely important to the way we go about our business as a hockey club.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a red-orange amber with active carbonation. One finger fine light tan head with good retention and lacing. Looks nice. Aroma of sweet malt and a hint of birch beer. Flavor is sweet and caramel malt, toffee with a rather dry birch syrup finish. Low hop levels. Medium bodied with a bit of creaminess. A interesting, but low key, take on a doppelbock. The birch syrup counteracts the malt flavors somewhat, so it seems like it could use a bit more malt flavor as a doppelbock. Still interesting and enjoyable to drink. (Reviewed in 2012, moved here from a duplicate listing in the archive section, since this seems to be the main listing).

A- A deep amber colour, which seemed to fluctuate a little with ruby towards the center and murky brown towards the edges.
S- Delightful, huge berry notes with a massively appetizing, malty bouquet. The best thing about this beer!
T- Sweet with a tart maltiness. Taste of rasberries and cherries. Pretty much what you'd hope for from a doppelbock with added syrup.
M- Fairly low carbonation which I liked. Slightly cloying and thin, but not to the extent that it detracted too much from the overall experience.
O- I would definitely have this again based purely on the beer, although it was quite pricey at $8. Would have only given it a 4, but it disguised the relatively high ABV of 8.5% so nicely that I had to bump it up a notch. I could drink it all day, and at that ABV, that's impressive.

Birch Bock pours a hazy brownish color wit ha very small head. Their are some sweet birch syrup like aromas, very sugary, and a bit vinegary. The taste has some notes of the birch syrup, and a dull cheap malty taste, strange sweetness to it. Nicely carbonated and full flavor. Overall a very strange beer. Taste like a cheap beer with some log cabin syrup added.

Poured a thin head on a cloudy light brown colored body.
The aroma is dry wood and dark malt. Interesting.
The taste is wonderful. It's fairly sweet overall, but less "annoying sweet" than most doppelbocks. There's definitely a syrup flavor with a background of dry malt sweetness.
The texture is slightly sticky with moderate carbonation.
Well worth trying.

In my opinion, the beers in the Pilot Series are some of the best work from Alaskan. The taste is general bold and lacks the bothersome oily texture that I can not overlook in their more noted brews.
Poured into a glass, the beer was a murky brown with variation in the shades of brown. The aroma was the expected malty doppelbock type aroma. In fairness, I am not exactly what birch syrup is supposed to taste like, never having had it. I can only assume it is similar to maple syrup. In the initial taste, one detects the sweet malt as well as a certain syrupy sweetness with hints of dark fruit. There was a certain smokiness in the taste, but it was not overpowering. The thickness reminded me a little more of a barleywine than a doppelbock, but this was not a big detractor for me. In the aftertaste, one will notice the maltiness continues with a twang of sourness. The taste on this doppelbock is well developed and nicely rounded. I would certainly do this one again.

Pours a toffee colored body beneath the thinner off white head which quickly dissolves to leave little lacing behind.
Sweet aromas of birch syrup and brown sugar and hints of fig float from the glass. The aromas are sweet and candy like with typical doppelbock malty sweetness as well.
The flavors are similar featuring the birch maple and brown sugar sweetness the aroma has with hints of earthiness.
The body is fuller with medium carbonation and a nice sherry like, dryer finish.
This is a pretty nice doppelbock, clearly even a bit sweeter with the addition of the birch maple syrup than others but you can certainly appreciate the Alaskan twist.

Matthew Yglesias sticks up for the study of reptiles. Good timing: New Scientist has this great, quick post on how the snake may have gotten his fangs:
[Jon Mitchell of the University of Chicago] and his colleagues discovered 26 Uatchitodon [a late-Triassic reptile] teeth in North Carolina. Their age places them between the other two sets, and lining up all the teeth shows how grooves that initially formed at the surface gradually lengthened and deepened until they became enclosed canals (Naturwissenschaften, DOI: 10.1007/s00114-010-0729-0).
Snake fangs probably evolved independently of Uatchitodon, says Mitchell, but the sequence of events was most likely similar. Bryan Grieg Fry from the University of Melbourne, Australia, is convinced this is the case, and says the fossil series is "fantastic".
Are you really going to get youngsters interested in natural-science education by downgrading studies of real-life monsters and folding them into discussions of birds? I tried as hard as I could in school not to learn about natural science. It was a clear error. More reptiles, on display in more places accessible to New York City public-school students, may not convince others to avoid my sorry course, but fewer reptile displays can't possibly help.
And we're in a national science crisis, according to the Navy. A couple of weeks ago, I covered the Office of Naval Research's Science and Technology conference. From Undersecretary Bob work to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead on down, a sub-theme of the gathering was palpable anxiety that American youths are opting out of STEM ("science, technology, engineering and mathematics") education. My friends who study education trends can correct me if that's actually wrong, but it has the leading thinkers of a cerebral and science-based service rather concerned. Fewer engineers mean a less-dynamic navy.
To be sure, it's ugly and cynical to say we need to emphasize science education lest Our Military Strength Be Imperiled, but what else works in American education discourse? If I remember my American History of Science course* correctly — rest in peace, Professor Pauly — the high-water mark for public spending on science research was the early Cold War, precisely because of the Soviet threat. One academic beneficiary: the field of oceanography, thanks to the Navy's obvious need for it. Bring on our lizards.
* Full disclosure: I failed this class the first time I took it. But I think I got a B when I took the make-up.

There are a variety of means to combat animal abuse. One method is to be familiar with the law that protects the animals and stops/punishes the offenders.
There is Title 14, entitled, "Malicious Mischief", in the California State Penal Code (criminal law). The section concerning the inhumane treatment of animals is 597. Subdivision (a) reads: "Except as provided in subdivision (c) of this section or Section 599c, every person who maliciously and intentionally maims, mutilates, tortures, or wounds a living animal, or maliciously and intentionally kills an animal is guilty of a crime." If the violation in question pertains to cruelty to protected or endangered animals, then 597(c) should be charged. If any acts, written in 599c, are present, then any Title 14 law is inapplicable.
Generally speaking, section 599c states that Title 14 laws cannot interfere with "game laws" such as the killing of game, "pests", certain birds, dangerous animals, animals-for-food and animals used for scientific experiments. Unfortunately, 599c doesn't require that the killings be done humanely nor does it require that these animals be housed and handled humanely.
If 597(c) and 599c are not present, then you can go after a violator with the aforementioned 597(a). Bear in mind that the whole 597 statute contains a multitude of laws pertaining to a wide variety of animal abuse.
If there is no law to cover a certain type of cruelty, a state bill can be passed by the legislative body and approved by the governor to become a law. Some animal rights organizations actively facilitate or enable the passing of these bills (not to mention fighting national and worldwide acts of cruelty). Joining, donating or voting supports their efforts. Their web sites can contain educational material covering the many types of abuse occurring state, nation and worldwide. Some organizations are listed on my web page, www.stevesanimalwelfare.info.
Certain politicians are active in regards to animal rights. They may require public support. In addition, civil remedies could be pursued against the abuser, big or small.
It is important to know that the law does provide care for animals, in many types of situations, and can be used to prosecute those who mistreat them. However there are many cases that the law does not address. That is why it is so important to join the effort in combating inhumane treatment of animals
at all levels.
Please see my website, www.stevesanimalwelfare.info, for other animal welfare-related articles.

As a local news organization, Patch covers stories of all kinds, from heartbreaking tragedies to nitty-gritty breakdowns of government and school district issues. But some stories are simply inspiring, often showing that at the heart of our communities is a desire to do good. Here are some of the touching headlines from the past seven days.
This week, we're focusing on several locals in our communities who were voted Greatest People of the Year for their contributions to their neighbors.
Westhampton-Hampton Bays
Kym Smith, of East Quogue, is the co-founder of The Hamptons Hurricane Relief Fund, which was created after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the area. With so many people left in need, Smith worked to collect donations filling trucks with food, clothing, cleaning supplies and construction materials to hard hit areas. The group continues to help as noted on its Facebook page.
Southampton Hospital President and CEO Robert Chaloner took the helm of the South Fork's sole hospital in 2006 and since then he oversaw a turnaround of the hospital's finances, the remodeling of the emergency room, a new affiliation with Stony Brook University Medical Center, the long-awaited declaration that Southampton Hospital has an agreement in place for building a new state-of-the-art facility to replace its aging Southampton Village home, and record-breaking philanthropic contributions, among other accomplishments, big and small.
Miller Place-Rocky Point
Rebecca Cramer a local businesswoman, volunteer and a 2002 graduate of Miller Place High School, has no problem keeping busy. Along with working as a realtor at Hough & Guidice and owning a promotional marketing company, Cramer and her boyfriend, Brian Carr, decided to step in earlier this year to save Miller Place Printing from shutting down after the longtime owners were looking to retire.
Dave Lewis, among many other things, is a firefighter with the Smithtown Fire Department, an officer with the New York Police Department, Owner of Five Star Pools of Suffolk, and the Co-Director of Camp Adventure for the American Cancer Society.
East Hampton
Tom Field is an advanced emergency medical technician in Amagansett, but also is a first aid, CPR, and EMT instructor — in fact, he's teaching an EMT refresher course in Sag Harbor all day on Sundays. His fire department honored him in 2012 after he reached a milestone. Field has responded to the most calls in the history of the department — a whopping 4,000.

Ada Evening News / CNHI News Service
ADA, Okla. —
Ada firefighters rescued a woman in a house fire just south of Ada Saturday morning.
Firefighters responded to the fire at a home on County Road 1576 just after 7 a.m. where three adults and two children were able to escape the blaze, but one woman was still inside. Firefighters immediately searched the home and rescued the woman, who was located in a bedroom. She was suffering from smoke inhalation.
She was taken to a waiting Mercy EMS amblance and rushed to Chickasaw Nation Medical Center for treatment. A man, also in the home when the fire started, was taken to be treated for burns to his feet, fire officials said.
Ada Fire Captain Bill Atkinson said the main fire was in the living room of the home. He said firefighters passed the flames to get to the woman, before fighting the fire.
"You really can't do the two together," Atkinson said. "Because if you go in there to extinguish the fire, as soon as you hit it, the water will turn the house into a steambath and the steam will kill any possible survivors."
Atkinson said they contained the fire to the living area, but the rest of the home suffered a lot of heat and smoke damage. Names of the home's residents were not available by press time Saturday. The state fire marshal was called in to determine an exact cause, but firefighters believe it was unintentional.
Mitchell is a special correspondent for Ada Evening News, a CNHI News Service publication.

I write about drugs, education & the science affecting our daily lives
Are those tiny 5-Hour Energy shots dangerous?
Should you worry about drinking too much Monster Energy — or any other energy drink for that matter?
These are the questions on our minds this week following another US Food and Drug Administration missive on deaths and hospitalizations as reported by energy drink manufacturers. Those specifically cited in this week's report (PDF) include Monster and Rockstar energy drinks as well as 5-hour Energy "shots" that are ubiquitous throughout US convenience stores and pharmacies.
These 5-hour Energy products are no stranger to Forbes: Staff Writer Clare O'Connor had this article and sidebar in the February 27, 2012 of the magazine. O'Connor reported that 5-hour Energy accounts for a whopping 90% of the national energy shot market.
So, exactly how dangerous are these drinks and energy shots?
The main number being batted around — beginning with The New York Times article by Barry Meier — is that 5-hour Energy has been cited in reports of 13 deaths; that is, 13 people who died had ingested 5-hour Energy drink at some time prior to their passing. The first death was reported on December 17, 2009.
But a close analysis of the report itself leads me to conclude that two of those deaths were reported twice, lowering the number to a still-disturbing 11.
The non-fatal reports extend back to 2005 and include typical symptoms such as dizziness, anxiety, and nausea all the way to seizures, brain hemorrhages, and heart attacks.
Monster drinks were listed in five deaths and about 35 other non-fatal adverse reactions. Rockstar was listed in 13 cases, none of which were deaths.
What's in these drinks?
Monster and Rockstar are brightly-labeled beverages that contain 160 to 175 milligrams of caffeine in drink sizes ranging from 5 to 16 fluid ounces. That's about three-to-five times the amount of caffeine in 12-ounce serving of a typical mass-marketed soda. The more concentrated 5-hour Energy doesn't list its caffeine content but Consumer Reports recently determined that it contains 215 milligrams of caffeine per 2 fl. oz. bottle (the "extra strength" only contains a bit more at 242 milligrams.).
I'm a coffee drinker. Is that a lot of caffeine?
Well, it depends on where you get your coffee. One of the most comprehensive sources for caffeine content of beverages is this database at energyfiend.com. There you'll see that a large McDonald's coffee (16-ounce) has 145 milligrams of caffeine, just a bit less than the same as in a typical regular Rockstar or Monster product. But if you are a Starbucks fan, a 16-ounce serving (Grande) of their regular brewed coffee (not espresso-based) there can average 330 milligrams of caffeine but range from 259 to a whopping 564! These are Starbucks' own reported values, levels that led energyfiend.com to list this product's caffeine content as "Extreme."
But think about this: that high end for the "Extreme" content of Starbucks is roughly the same as only two small bottles of 5-hour Energy, perhaps telling us how deceivingly potent these "shots" can be.
Is the problem only with the caffeine? What else might be dangerous in these drinks?
They also contain various combinations of vitamins and amino acids, with some vitamins far exceeding recommended daily values. Among all of these components, I'm most concerned about phenylalanine, an amino acid that cannot be adequately broken down by people with a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria. This is why you'll see diet sodas containing the artificial sweetener aspartame listed with a warning for phenylketonurics: aspartame contains phenylalanine. In such individuals, the amino acid gets converted instead to a chemical that can cause seizures, and even mental retardation in developing infants and children. Phenylketonuria is rather common in the US, occurring in 1 out of 15,000 people but is three-to-five times more common in Turkey and Scotland.
Does this mean that 5-hour Energy caused the reported deaths and hospitalizations?
This is the question that FDA scientists are trying to assess. The major problem is that these reports don't list other very important information such as age, weight, pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, or any indication of drugs or dietary supplements that might have contributed to these adverse reactions. For example, younger (and smaller) people are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine and might also be taking other substances that could make the energy drink deadly.
We need to remember that caffeine is a drug, capable of providing us with mental alertness but at higher doses can make us anxious, shaky, and have gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea. In energy drinks caffeine is regulated as a food additive but its drug status is complicated by the fact that it occurs naturally in foods such as coffee and chocolate. Caffeine was previously classified by the FDA as an additive "Generally Recognized As Safe" (or GRAS) at levels commonly used since 1958.
I've always been wary of the so-called GRAS list. No chemical, natural or synthetic, is 100% safe. The dose determines the relative safety of anything, as does what that chemical is taken with.
In 1969, President Nixon ordered the FDA to re-review the substances on the GRAS list. The special review committee didn't get to caffeine until 1978 but they expressed serious concerns about its health risks that include high blood pressure with doses as little as 4 milligrams per kilogram body weight. That's roughly a 16-ounce Starbucks coffee for a 180-lb adult.
The committee specifically concluded, "It is inappropriate to include caffeine among the substances generally recognized as safe (GRAS)." Yet caffeine remains a food additive almost 35 years later.
Sounds like we need to throw another ten billion or so at the FDA & see if we don't get a coherent answer this time. 20 bill? How much does it take? Do we ever get answers or are we just paying them to waste all of our prosperity away?
You know, if ever we get an answer, it is promptly ignored by all. So, we just love to throw several billions away always on nothing.
It isn't about 5-hour energy. It's about the study. & buffaloing America.
The entire FY2012 FDA budget is $4.4 billion, only a fraction of which goes towards this study. That's just over one-tenth of one percent of US spending.
And by the way, science takes time. But I wouldn't expect a global warming denier like you to understand the first thing about science.
It's Clare without an i. Thanks for the link, though.
Too much of ANYTHING is bad for you, but these deceptive "energy" drinks are the worst. One, there is no "energy" it's CAFFEINE that revs up your heart and gets you into a very unhealthy state ASAP and of course, if you drink multiples of this "energy" drink, your damage is multiple squared. It's legal speed, just as bad and just as dangerous in high quantities. The title is a lie, it should read HUGE dose of CAFFEINE instead. And people, if you crave "energy," drink COFFEE!
I am a physician and I am deeply saddened that Avon Foundation for Women Breast Cancer Crusade has chosen to endorse 5 Hour Energy Products. The high dose caffeine products have been clearly documented to cause both morbidity and mortality.The endorsement will increase significantly the numbers of women using this product. Women will trust in the endorsement and in the Pink Awareness for Breast Cancer, They will interpret that this product is a safe product. I hope that the organization reconsider it's endorsement/ promotion with 5 Hour Energy and make a public statement that this and other unregulated caffeinated products may cause health related issues.
Well then, as a physician maybe you can share with us what kinds of products you yourself endorse. 5-hour Energy has been blamed for, according to the data in this article, 11 deaths since its introduction in 2004. That's 11 deaths, not all of which have yet been conclusively determined to have been caused by the product, in eight years. Of the ones that may or may not be concluded to have been caused by caffeine overdose related to 5-hour Energy, how many of those people chugged down an excessive number of "shots" in a short time?
How many deaths have been determined to have been caused by prescription medication? Over-the-counter medication? How about alcohol, tobacco, pesticides and foods with certain artificial ingredients which are still on the market?
Eleven deaths possibly linked to this product is a tragedy, but there are much bigger fish to fry in regards to unsafe consumables. I don't see what all the fuss is about with this one.

The father of one of two Iowa cousins found dead following their disappearance last summer is facing new drug charges.
Thirty-six-year-old Daniel Morrissey of Waterloo is being charged with trying to make methamphetamine and possessing simulated meth sometime between December 1st and his February 11th arrest for failing to comply with conditions of his pre-trial release.
Morrrissey's daughter, Lyric Cook, disappeared with her cousin Elizabeth Collins while riding bikes in Evansdale last July. Their bodies were found in December.
Morrissey pleaded guilty to seven meth and marijuana felonies earlier this month, so he's already facing significant prison time.
Morrissey made an initial appearance on the new charges on Friday. He could receive an enhanced sentence on the new charges because of his record.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Loretta Mae Stewart Hockman, 91, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012. She was the daughter of the late George Roland and Neva Pearl Phillips Stewart.
Loretta grew up in Carnegie and moved to Norman after high school. "Grammy Loretta, Mimi, Mother, Darling" was a loving gracious lady, a true lifter of our spirits with wisdom that enriched all the lives she touched. The beauty and light she brought into the lives of everyone she knew is the true example of how to live a life well. An angel on earth and now in heaven with her precious Ned.
Loretta was an extraordinary woman. She lived with great passion, humor and love and enjoyed spending it with her "Ned," family and friends. She and Ned enjoyed a wonderful marriage full of love, adventure and commitment to each other. They were married 64 years. They were the "true love story," and they were the strength that bonded their family together.
Loretta had a calm, steadfast demeanor that enabled her to help the many University of Oklahoma students that Ned taught. She worked tirelessly to help Ned's students when they needed assistance with their course work and schedules. She was always willing, and actually preferred, to work in the background and let others receive the praise she so deserved. Her legacy of grace, love and caring for others her entire life will always be remembered.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles "Ned" Hockman.
She is survived by their daughters, Shiree Hockman Charles Bullen (Dale Bullen), Kyle Hockman Wiltse, her five grandchildren, Kelli Charles Ross, Kerri Charles, Marci Charles, Patrick Wiltse and Allyson Wiltse, and her three great-grandchildren, Peyton Ross, Cooper Ross and Chelsey DePriest. Her extended family includes Anna D' Olive, Bobby and Chelle DePriest, Nell and Larry Taylor, Jenni and David Swain, Aidan and Dominic Swain, Matthew and Julie Taylor, Greta, Matthew and Grace Taylor and Julie and Dan Humphrey.
Memorial donations may be made to: The Ned Hockman Film Making Award Fund 41647, c/o Karen Renfroe, Office of Development, University of Oklahoma, 339 W. Boyd St., Norman, OK 73019, 405-325-3366.
Ned and Loretta's legacy, through this scholarship, will help support and serve the film/video journalism students at University of Oklahoma for many years to come.
A family service will be at Amelia Island, Fla., in the spring in celebration of Loretta's life. At the same time, we will celebrate our Dad and their "fantastic" life together.

It's an exciting time over on my blog! A Busy Mom's Slow Cooker Adventures is getting a "makeover!" As I approach 10,000 fans over on Facebook, I'm kicking off our huge milestone with a new logo, new look and a HUGE giveaway that will take place when we gain just short of 200 fans! If you're not already a facebook fan, you're going to want to become one so that you can partake in the fun!
Now, on to our recipe this week! These Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookie bars are wonderful!!!!! My neighbor gave me a giant zucchini a few weeks ago and I've been using it here are there to cook with! My son has been on somewhat of a veggie strike, so I've been finding creative ways to sneak them into his diet! This worked like a charm.....and on me too! I LOVE these! They are moist and absolutely delicious!
To make these, I adapted a wonderful Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from another blog called, Chocolate Covered Katie. She has AWESOME recipes, so you should check her out!
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
2 1/3 cup oat flour (throw some oats in a food processor and grind them into a powder)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. milk
3/4-1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions: (I used a 7 Quart Crock for this, but a 4 Quart or greater would be fine)
First, to make your oat flour, place your oats in a food processor and grind them into a powder. Next in a bowl, place all of your dry ingredients and mix them up.
Now, add the zucchini, vanilla and vegetable oil. Start to mix it up and then add your milk, 1 Tbsp. at a time. You don't want the batter to be too thin. If you feel it's thin enough after 1 Tbsp. stop there. If not, add another. Pour the batter into your crock that is sprayed really well with non-stick cooking spray. Cook on LOW for about 2 hours, with paper towel underneath the lid to absorb condensation, or until the edges are browned and the middle no longer looks "soupy." It will continue to cook once you turn it off. Let it cool completely before trying to cut and remove your "bars!"

If I have my vacation turned on and a tournement that I am regestered for starts whilst on vacation, will those games automatically be put on vacation?
E.G. Can I regester for a tournement that I know I will have turned vacation on for, for when it starts or will I automatically time out all of the games?
Only if those tournaments are marked specifically as 'No Vacation'.
Your vacation time will pause all games except those ones.
Thanks, but I can't work out where to see if vacation is active in a tournement, I am looking to join this one:
which starts on the 1st of April and I will be on vacation until the 4th/5th. I don't want to regester and instantly lose 10 games!
You have probably heard this quetion many times but please humor me. I have set up a tournament (All for one fun tourney). The tournament is for rating 800 - 1200. When I set it up I had a rating <1200. The signing up for the tournament is going really slow. Only one person so far. But I am keeping it on the list. However, in a mean time my own rating has gone above 1200. Should I know amend the tournament max rating? Or is my rating from the time I set up the tournament valid?
Hi, I am currently in a tournament 1000 - 1200. Just looked at the leader board and I aam in 3rd position !! My rating has just gone above 1200 but the 2 above me are 1500+. Are these just medal hunters ? Knowbody gets that good that fast !!!!!!!
Dont you think we should get free tournaments
Hi. I'm quite new here in chess.com and I've registered myself in the 1600-1800 tournament starting in April 1st. This will be only my 2nd tournament and maybe that's why I'm asking this: there are a lot of players above 1800 registered for this tournament. Why? Isn't it limited to players between 1600 and 1800?
They registered when they were below 1800. Not to worry though, they have been shifted to a higher section when the tournament started.
in an open tournament how do the pairings work? would a 1200 player be paired against a 1750 player?
i am new to the site but wold like to try a tournament.
@gunzzzy . . . in tournament pairings you usuaully see a variety of ratings in each group, so yes, a 1200 can be paired against a 1750. You might want to try a tournament with ratings that are less than 1400 or 1500 first to get started. There are a lot of tournaments like this. For instance, look for a tournament that says <1400 (less than 1400) in the rating requirement. An open tournament will allow anyone with any rating to enter. Good luck.
thanks dr mac...ill try it
If is the first player in tournament removed,elimineted or withdrew where is advance 3 of 6, is that means that 4.place is 3.; 3.place is 2. and 2. place is first ???
Can someone please provide me a link that describes how these tournaments work? I'm kinda lost ....
Thank you, Kohai!
Does Erik still intend to have a live tourney leaderboard?
Yes hopefully.
Please use this forum category to post all your ideas/questions/comments/etc about tournaments. We hope you enjoy the new feature...and the new forum!
Please, could you tell me in Matches 25´ + 5´, how many minutes would be generally the total time game to finish

By Greg Morcroft, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. financial stocks recovered earlier losses on Tuesday afternoon and rose on the back of gains in the asset management and real estate sectors.
Federated Investors Inc, /quotes/zigman/217607/delayed/quotes/nls/fii FII -3.39% , CBRE Group Inc, Public Storage and T.Rowe Price Group Inc all rose more than 1.5% and were the top gainers.
Financial stocks had fallen in early trading with the broader market on concerns about the looming fiscal cliff, which is set to trigger big spending cuts and higher tax rates in early 2013.
Concern about the matter also showed up in the latest Bank of America-Merrill Lynch fund manager survey for November, released Tuesday. The report showed that a 54% majority views the U.S. fiscal cliff as the biggest tail risk confronting the markets, up from 42% in October.
/quotes/zigman/182639/delayed/quotes/nls/ms MS 32.34, -1.00, -3.00%
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/188479/delayed/quotes/nls/gs GS -1.64% recovered from its early losses, but rival Morgan Stanley /quotes/zigman/182639/delayed/quotes/nls/ms MS -3.00% was unable to shake off all its drop and remained lower Tuesday afternoon.
The companies' shares could end up facing some pressure as a result of Leucadia Corp.'s /quotes/zigman/232071/delayed/quotes/nls/luk LUK -1.28% move to buy out Jefferies Group , a much smaller investment bank, for a price pegged at 1.2 times current book value, according to a post on the DealBook blog late Monday. That's higher than the comparable multiples for the two larger firms.

• What about the 4% strategy?
• Annuities errors to avoid
• Retirement Q&A
• Low-interest-rate risk
• See the full special report
As DealBook puts it, "The important point is that a large financial company is willing to put down real money to acquire a brokerage firm, paying more than its tangible book value." The discrepancy between the multiples means either the market is nervous about prospects for Goldman and Morgan Stanley, or alternatively, that investors see their size and complexity as a potential drag on profitability.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF /quotes/zigman/246222/delayed/quotes/nls/xlf XLF -2.05% which tracks the financial stocks in the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -2.00% , fell 0.8%. The Dow /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -1.88% financials were mixed Tuesday afternoon. Bank of America Corp. /quotes/zigman/190927/delayed/quotes/nls/bac BAC -2.12% , and Travelers Cos. /quotes/zigman/455344/delayed/quotes/nls/trv TRV -1.52% posted gains, while J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM -2.10% and American Express Co. /quotes/zigman/217470/delayed/quotes/nls/axp AXP -3.20% /quotes/zigman/217470/delayed/quotes/nls/axp AXP -3.20% stayed in the red.
Also Tuesday, Citigroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/5065548/delayed/quotes/nls/c C -2.16% shares fell about 0.5%.
Late Friday, Fortune magazine reported that Citigroup agreed to pay former CEO Vikram Pandit, who resigned last month in a management shakeup, an "incentive award" totaling $6.7 million for his work this year. Read more about Pandit pay

Birth Name: Sullivan Stapleton
Sullivan leaped to the big screen in 2007 with his first role in a mainstream feature, "The Condemned." The action thriller featured an ensemble cast that included former professional wrestler Steve Austin and legendary British footballer Vinnie Jones. The film revolved around a group of Central American prisoners sent by a sadistic television producer to a remote island, where they must fight each other to death until the sole survivor is granted freedom. That same year, Sullivan took on a less violent role in the coming-of-age drama "December Boys," starring Daniel Radcliffe as an orphan from the Australian outback who is sent to a beachside holiday, where he encounter various people who c...

What happened to Joe Colborne in the second half of last year? After 40 games, Colborne had 15 goals and 33 points with the Toronto Marlies. But, February hit. In the second 40 games of the season, including the AHL playoffs, Colborne had just 3 goals and 14 points.
What happened here?
Now, a lot of Colborne's production was in the first 13 games before his NHL call-up in November. At that point, he had 10 goals, which put him on pace for 63 goals over 82 games, or the NHL equivalent of 28. Obviously that isn't a sustainable pace at all, and part of that was thanks to his 25% shooting rate at that time.
Heading into the season, Colborne's career AHL shooting percentage was 14.7%, so on that note, it isn't too surprising to see a regression to the mean. But he was helped along in this case, presumably by the wrist injury he had been playing with all season:

The German Federal Association of Senior Citizens' Organisations (BAGSO) and the Research Association for Gerontology at the University of Technology Dortmunt remarked the positive outcome of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations 2012 during the National Closing Ceremony of the Year in Germany, which was held on December 10th in Berlin.
"I cannot remember that so much attention had been paid to any European Year before", said Ursula Lehr, Chairwomen of the BAGSO and former Federal Minister.
Among the 230 participants who attended the event in the dbb Forum was also Franz Müntefering, member of the German Bundestag; Matthias Petschke, Head of the European Commission's representation in Germany, and Dieter Hackler, Head of the Department for the Elderly, Welfare and Engagement Policies of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The event was presented by Christine Massion, from the BAGSO.
As highlighted in the ceremony, a total of 45 different EY2012-related projects have been funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. In addition, countless initiatives have been launched country wide: more than 400 entries were registered on the national website's calendar of events and more than 200 projects. Furthermore, 1,000 media articles and audiovisual broadcasts have contributed to disseminate the goals of the European Year in Germany.
Prior to the closing ceremony representatives of the 45 funded projects came together in three workshops to exchange their experiences and analyse sustainable strategies about topics such as civic engagement of elderly people, intergenerational communication and active ageing. The results were presented and discussed afterwards in the plenum by representatives of the civil society, academia, local authorities and the European Commission. The audience also participated actively in the fruitful debate.
Two main challenges were mentioned during the debate session: "The success of the Year will have to be measured also by knowing if it has been possible to reach those elders who were previously inactive", said Gerhard Naegele, from the University of Technology Dortmunt. Mrs. Lehr added: "If we talk about solidarity between generations we must necessarily also include the middle generation, which was already known in the 70s because of their multiple responsibilities as a sandwich generation."
The ceremony ended with a cheerful way of looking at "ageing", with the comedian and actor Bill Mockridge, 65 years old, explaining that his recipe for success are "the 5 Ls: Laufen, Laben, Lieben, Lachen und Lernen" (running, eating, loving, laughing and learning).

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Wash the beets thoroughly, leaving the skins on, and remove the greens. Rinse greens, removing any large stems, and set aside. Place the beets in a small baking dish or roasting pan, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If you wish to peel the beets, it is easier to do so once they have been roasted.
- Cover, and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife can slide easily through the largest beet.
- When the roasted beets are almost done, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for a minute. Tear the beet greens into 2 to 3 inch pieces, and add them to the skillet. Cook and stir until greens are wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the greens as is, and the roasted beets sliced with either red-wine vinegar, or butter and salt and pepper.

This was an excellent way to prepare beets. I roasted the beets in the oven as instructed but with potatos and carrots as well, then tossed them with a tiny bit of olvie oil and feta. I also added mushrooms and green onions to the beet greens when I sauteed them. My children loved it. A+++
I am AMAZED. I tried this recipe because I felt stuck in a vegetable rut. I wanted a veggie we don't eat often. I was wary because hubby doesn't like beets and I don't care for greens. But I tried it and it is SENSATIONAL. Hubby loved it, I loved it. The greens were the surprise hit. And felt great getting two veggies out of one. I added butter and a bit more oil because it didn't seem like enough. This was a mistake as my greens turned out a bit too oily/buttery. Perfect as is. THANKS!
I saw beets at the Farmers Market and bought them. I found this recipe and tried it due to the positive reviews! I can only say that the roasted beets are absolutely delicious. I have made this recipe twice now. Roasting time for beets definitely depends on the size. For those who have never tried fresh beets...give them a try! Well worth the roasting time!

It's time to start releasing our dead zones and obstacles! Redrun 2 will feature a revised 6 mile course with a series of 6 hair-raising dead zones featuring some of the most famously haunted locations ever documented.
So what's the first dead zone announcement? Ok, we are cheating on this one... C Street / downtown Virginia City will return! Here is the kicker.... Downtown Virginia City will be home to the most unique opening to any run on the planet.
Redrun is currently producing a five episode video series that will keep you guessing right up to your run time. The first Episode will debut 7.14.14. The 5th and final episode will air 10.11.14 at Redrun 2.
We can't tell you any more than that or we will spoil the surprise. The launch from downtown Virginia City into Zombiegeddon will be unlike anything you've seen before. Whatever you do, don't miss out. Get yourself registered before it's too late. Get in before the next price increase (August 1st)
1/31/14 6:66 am
Great sequels embrace the foundation of the original, and from there . . . everything gets bigger, better and in this case, a lot bloodier! Based in one of the most haunted and storied "living" ghost towns in the country, you will come across some of the most famously chilling landmarks ever documented. If you think you'd seen it all in the original, think again.
1. A revised 6 mile course with a variety of new hair-raising dead zones. The dead zones will be released periodically leading up to Redrun 2.
2. Six dramatically enhanced obstacles. Stay hidden - Stay Alive. You will be tested. These obstacles will be released periodically leading up to Redrun 2. We could not be more excited!
3. A hell of a lot more blood. The living insane will find a wide range of ways to cover your living corpse in deep dark red blood. Will it be real? You'll never know for sure, nor will you have any idea whose it might be. Hell, it might be yours. Either way, just know Redrun's signature gooey, dark red liquid has been perfected.
4. More revive flags. A lot more!
5. Everyone who finishes will receive a uniquely designed Redrun medal as you cross the finish line. Those who survive will be forever immortalized into the "Redrun Sanctuary". The Sanctuary will be posted on Redrun.com after the event, and engraved on a Redrun Headstone, which will forever remain in Virginia City.
6. Upgraded revive stations with more of everything, including music, space, water, beer, etc.
7. The Zombie Procession. Before the first horde is released, this haunted town will be overrun by a procession of the living dead down the middle of Main Street as you are unleashed into Zombigeddon!
8. New this year: more detailed zombie and living insane rules and procedures. Not all zombies are the same. Some are more advanced than others. The newly transformed zombies are more agile and quick on their feet. Since this is a running event, they will chase you. Be warned and be quick on your feet. Bring the support of your pack and you just might survive as you'll have fewer chasing zombies to contend with in these select zones. However, the longer the dead have been walking, the slower and more decayed these hordes become. Some Dead Zones you'll sprint past just a few zombies, while others you'll have a mob of zombies to avoid. Good luck.
9. Redrun will host a pre-registration and packet pickup in Reno, NV (Date and details TBD). Same-day registration and packet pickup will be enhanced, giving you more time to enjoy the ambiance, history, and allure that is Virginia City.

4.5.13 Welcome to Redrun
You will not experience anything like this run. You will run right through the most frightening and historic locations in one of the most haunted towns in the world. If you are a runner.. you only need to survive the 6 mile obstacle run. Sounds simple? Well it won't be. Redrun is armageddon. On October 12, the Dead will rise and an all out war will erupt. You must make it through Virginia City un-captured and unscathed. The dead will want to catch you, but the living insane will want to destroy you. It's a shame that the insane can't tell the difference between the living or the dead, so their goal is the eradicate everything.
You can register for this event three different ways 1) as a runner 2) as zombie / creature or 3) as the living insane.

650 hostages freed by Algerian special forces, http://bit.ly/Xhf5In
Algerian special forces have freed 650 hostages taken by Islamists after attacking a gas field in eastern Algeria on Wednesday. Over half of the 132 foreign workers taken hostage have been freed. 10 to 20 Americans are being evacuated, while some remain unaccounted for. U.S. officials have not specified the exact number of Americans involved in the attack. "This incident will be resolved–we hope–with a minimum loss of life. But when you deal with these relentless terrorists, life is not in any way precious to them," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.
Lance Armstrong Confession: Cyclist Admits Doping During Oprah Interview, http://huff.to/13Kj8CW
Lance Armstrong opened up about doping Thursday night in the first installment of a two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey. Armstrong openly admitted to using banned substances in all seven of his Tour de France victories. Earlier on Thursday, he was stripped of his bronze medal from the 2000 Olympics. Armstrong noted that he was committed to restoring his reputation. "I'll spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and trying to apologize to people…for the rest of my life," he said.
Behind Manti Te'O hoax about girlfriend lies a deep desire to believe, http://wapo.st/XinJqA
Following a Deadspin.com report published Wednesday, questions are circulating about the dead girlfriend of Manti Te'O, the star linebacker and Heisman Trophy runner-up who helped lead Notre Dame to the BCS Champion Bowl. Te'O's supposed girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, who was said to have died of leukemia, was a media fixation central to his personal story. Te'O claims the pair carried out their relationship online, and now says he was the victim of an online prank. However, controversy remains over whether the fake girlfriend may have been a publicity stunt created by Te'O himself.

Jim Messina, who directed the 2012 campaign, will chair Organizing for Action.
One to beam up: NASA uses a laser to send Mona Lisa to the moon, http://nbcnews.to/XimYxX
NASA will use a laser-tracking system to make the Mona Lisa the first digital image to be transmitted via laser to the moon. NASA has previously sent laser pulses and strings of numbers to its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the laser-tracking system that has been circling the moon for the past three and a half years, but this is the first time they will transmit a far more visual painting. NASA said this type of laser communication could serve in the future as a backup for the radio communication currently used by satellites, potentially allowing higher data rates of communication.
