Don't forget to check out DobberBaseball - I used the draft guide thoroughly this year, as it was my first year in about 10 years playing fantasy baseball. The Kershawshank Redemption is off to a great start in 2013 (in case you were wondering).
Brandon Pirri (Chicago prospect) had three points last night for Rockford and is now sixth in AHL scoring. I could see him settling in as a 45-50 point second line NHLer in his prime, if all goes well.
Check out DobberHockey's Studs & Duds from Friday.
Brandon Dubinsky had no points and was a minus-2, but he won 16 faceoffs and played close to 20 minutes. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him set career numbers next year. He has a ton of skill but got buried a bit in New York (especially after he moved to left wing).
Jay Bouwmeester had two helpers for the Blues, and he only played 24 minutes. Not many other NHL players could you say that about ("only" 24 minutes of ice time).
David Backes scored a goal - he's been very underwhelming offensively this season - I'd look to buy low if possible. His roto value is crazy - he is consistently a top 10 forward in my league (with hits and PIM).
Rick Nash scored a goal and had seven shots on net - he was a beast last night for the Rangers. Tortorella is really riding him right now (22+ minutes of ice time), and he is making the most of his opportunities.
Ryan McDonagh is a top 10 NHL defenseman, and he showed it last night. 28 minutes of rock solid defense, and the Rangers controlled the play whenever he was out on the ice.
Jussi Jokinen scored a goal for the Pens - 15 minutes of ice time, and he will continue to play center if he keeps winning faceoffs like he did last night (he lost only two of the 15 he attempted).
Cory Conacher had zero points in 14 minutes of ice time in his Ottawa debut - he created some chances with his speed and hands. I think the move to Ottawa will be good for him, as he probably would have gotten buried in Tampa with their impressive collection of young talent (Ottawa also has a ton of good young players too, but Conacher has a better shot at finding a permanent home there).
Speaking of impressive young talent - Mika Zibanejad had two helpers, and Jakob Silfverberg had an assist and seven shots on goal. Those two Swedes are going to lead Ottawa's offense for many years to come. Both play NHL games - very different players, but very good at what they do.
I made the point on Twitter yesterday - is Bryan Murray the best GM in hockey? He hasn't been perfect, but the moves lately... wow. Trades, signings, and draft picks are all working out Ottawa's way. He has a great read on his team.
Luke Adam, who at one time was a young offensive stud in Buffalo, scored a goal last night (10 minutes of ice time). He will see some minutes down the stretch as the Sabres will want to take inventory with what they have.
Brian Flynn had a goal in 16 minutes of ice time for the Sabres (more than Hodgson). Could be a nice waiver wire move for the final few weeks of the season.
Kris Letang is expected to play Tuesday against the 'Canes.
The point has been made before – advanced stats/analysis are great, but they need to be taught or explained in a way that people can understand (and that directly correlates to success). Which is why visuals like this are so great.
Personal note – I am heading back to school! Accepted an offer to attend the University of Oregon for a two-year MBA program. I head down in September to start. Not sure what that means for my future here just yet, but I know I'll have to find a way to get TSN down there…
Should poolies (and Leafs fans) be concerned with Joffrey Lupul's health?
If it was impossible to say what had just occurred inside Lupul's body and brain on the third shift of just his 10th game of this NHL season, it was far easier to diagnose the presumed condition of Toronto's hockey fans at the same moment.
Zack Kassian on his bad dangle vs Oilers: "I saw the Pavel Bure clip during the TV timeout and, for some reason, I just decided to try it."— Elliott Pap (@ElliottPap) April 5, 2013
What is Ilya Bryzgalov's future in Philadelphia? Would it surprise anybody to see the Flyers buy him out this summer and make a move for Ryan Miller or Roberto Luongo?
Many observers take that to mean Bryzgalov is a prime candidate to be jettisoned this summer in a "contract amnesty" buyout. After this season, the Flyers owe Bryzgalov $34.5 million over the next seven years. If he is bought out, Philadelphia would be relieved of his salary-cap hit and he would become a free agent, but it wouldn't be cheap: The buyout formula calls for two-thirds of the remaining money divided by double the term, meaning Bryzgalov would get $23 million divided by 14 years or $1.64 million per season until 2027.
Here's a good read on Jonathan Drouin, who has a shot at going number one at the draft in a few months (and he has a better shot at going number one in your fantasy pool).
The meteoric rise of Drouin began in Lac St-Louis (QMAAA) in 2011-12 when he scored 22 goals and 53 points in just 22 games. The incredible start forced the Mooseheads, who drafted Drouin with the No. 2 pick in the 2011 QMJHL entry draft, to create roster space for the 16-year-old midway through their season.
Mats Zuccarello learned from his first stint in the NHL, and he has been playing a more aggressive brand of hockey this time around. I'm not really sure if he has any fantasy upside – he definitely has the skill set to be a top six forward, not sure if that means on a regular basis or in situational duty. The Rangers picked up some depth in the Gaborik trade, and they are likely going to re-sign Clowe, too. And Kreider and JT Miller have to factor in to the equation.
Good quotes from the Norwegian winger:
"I feel more confident on the ice," Zuccarello told The Post yesterday before the Rangers embarked on a three-game trip that commences tonight in Pittsburgh. "The last time I was here I was way too worried about what would happen if I made a mistake.
"I decided that this time I would just give it my all and play with the mindset that I have nothing to lose."
A ton of prospects have inked deals over the past few days – I'll try and cover as many as I can.
The Hurricanes signed OHL forward Brock McGinn to an ELC. Limited upside from a fantasy perspective, though:
McGinn is probably a good few years away from making the NHL and should have a future as a solid checking line player if all goes according to plan. I'd expect him to take part in Charlotte's training camp this fall but I would be surprised if he doesn't end up in Guelph next year since he might be better off getting first line minutes there. I am excited to see what he can do for the Checkers down the stretch, though and hope he can become a solid player for this franchise.
Matt Duchene has been a bright spot for a miserable Avs team this season. His words to the media sound very "captain-ly" as well:
"A top pick would be great, but I think a positive feeling going into the summer from a great finish would be even better for us," said Duchene, whose team hopes to beat the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night at the Pepsi Center. "I owe it to every guy in this room and to every person who buys a ticket, who pays good money to come see us and cheer us on, to try to do my best.
He was a minus-2 last night, but is nice to see Colorado giving Tyson Barrie the minutes he needs to develop (22 last night with three SOG).
PA Parenteau had a goal and three SOG - he has been one of the best UFA signings this year - definitely not just a product of Moulson and Tavares.
I'm not sure if I linked to this yesterday – if so, ignore it. If not, read it! A fantastic piece on Jaromir Jagr, who still has a passion for the game that few other players possess.
Scott Cullen from TSN ranks the top 50 AHL players – lots of fantasy value in this list here.
I've given up on my keeper season this year – with Schneider and Luongo as my starters, I simply haven't gotten enough starts. I took a gamble that Luongo would have been traded last summer, and it bit me in the rear end this season. Time to stock up on young guys and sort out my keeper list.
Oh, and here are my thoughts on some of the AHL players on Scott's list:
1. Tyler Johnson – the reason (or one of) that Tampa felt OK moving Cory Conacher. Johnson is small, but skilled and very smart. He has top six upside.
11. Linden Vey (Los Angeles) – a very skilled forward, Vey will probably have to wait a bit for a roster spot to open up in LA (and it looks like Tyler Toffoli is on his way to earning one).
27. Matt Donovan (Islanders) – Donovan is a smooth-skating two-way defenseman with some offensive upside. If/when Streit moves on this summer, he may get a look at helping offensively from the back end in New York.

NHL Top 6: Easiest and toughest remaining schedules
By SportsDirect Inc. staff
With the abbreviated NHL season coming to a close this month, it's time to look forward to which teams have the toughest and easiest schedules the rest of the way.
In lieu of a perfect algorithm, we took the remaining games in each club's schedule, added up those teams' combined points in the standings and divided that by the number of games each team has remaining. If a team faces another club twice during the final stretch, we simply added that opponent's points in the standings twice.
We left items like travel and back-to-backs out of the mix but noted below some particularly tough stretches that some teams are faced with.
Make sense? Hope so.
Three toughest schedules in East:
NY Rangers (9th in East, 37 points, 11 games left): 46.5 average points of opponents

In Detail
When you're writing an application in which you would like to perform specialized drawing and/or control the animation of graphics, you should do so by drawing through a canvas. A canvas works for you as an interface to the actual surface upon which your graphics will be drawn — it holds all of your "draw" calls. Via the Android Canvas, your drawing is actually performed on an underlying Bitmap, which is placed into the window.
Learning Android Canvas is a practical guide, which will help you develop applications that contain rich 2D graphics like backgrounds, buttons, and even some small games with static 2D graphics. The book is full of step-by-step lessons and practical examples. This book helps you develop rich graphical applications and some simple games.
Learning Android Canvas will help you understand everything that is required to develop an Android application that involves creating 2D graphics from scratch to a fully functional complete application. You will start with zero knowledge of using graphics within Android applications and will then go step by step to learn about different objects and techniques. In the end you will be able to develop a complete application fully loaded with graphics and functions.
The book will give you a detailed practical explanation of Nine-Patch images and its importance in designing layouts and backgrounds. We will also take a detailed look at user interactions such as touch, capturing the action, and responding to them accordingly. Finally we will have a working, fully functional graphic application that uses all the knowledge that we have acquired previously.
This book is a fast-paced, practical, step-by-step tutorial guide full of examples that are easy to follow and implement.
Who this book is for
This book is a great resource for developers who have basic Android development knowledge and want to work on graphics-rich applications and games but are totally new to working with graphics and Android Canvas.

"Initial aroma is acutely spicy, cereal-grain sweet and a touch citrusy; following aeration the aroma takes flight as fruity/resiny scents enchant the olfactory sense. The flavor at entry is laser beam-focused, snug and concentrated; at midpalate, the flavor profile goes deeply cereal-like, almost honeyed, Sherried and intense.

Old Grand Dad Bourbon
"The somewhat sloppy bouquet features undirected caramel corn and marshmallow scents with moderately complex aromas of nut paste, pastry dough, yeast and dry breakfast cereal. Entry improves matters as appetizing tastes of bacon fat and corn meal dominate; the midpalate improves even further as the oak balances the grain tastes. Ends with a dash of fire." 85-89 pts.

Knob Creek 9 Year Old Small Batch Bourbon
"Smells of sweet corn, buttered popcorn and pistachio nuts in the early stages; later whiffs pick up well-endowed scents of sautéed butter, oaky vanilla, beeswax and linseed oil. Palate entry is full-bodied, sweet and honeyed; at midpalate the taste profile turns drier, more intensely grainy-mashy and breakfast cereal-like. Finishes with notes of nougat, almonds, candy bar, and oak. Best Buy." 90-95 pts.

FootJoy player Lorena Ochoa dominated once again, closing with a final round 4-under 69 Sunday to win the Corona Championship in her native Mexico. Ochoa fired four rounds in the 60's (66-66-66-69) to finish with a 25-under 267 total for a convincing 11 shot victory. She has now won three tournaments in a row and four of her first five to begin the year. During those four victories, Ochoa has won twice by 11 shots (also at the HSBC Women's Champions) and three times has shot all four rounds in the 60's. The victory was also her second in three years at this event and 21st of her career.
With the win, Lorena qualifies for the LPGA Hall of Fame, becoming the second youngest player to do so, although she still must be a tour member for 10 years (in her case, 2012) to become eligible for induction.

Whether you are among the thousands of fortunate patrons in Augusta or one of millions watching from home, the final round of the Masters is always a must-see event. And this year was no different. With unpredictable wind gusts combining with tricky pin placements and the pressure of playing on Sunday at the Masters, players moved up and down the leaderboad as scores increased. In fact, the scoring average on Sunday (74.67) was more than two strokes higher than Saturday (72.58), the fourth largest increase in Masters history between rounds three and four.
All in all, a very entertaining week for players and fans, and, unofficially, the beginning of the golf season nationwide. We hope you'll continue to visit the blog this year for all the latest news, images, interviews and insider information.

Another suspenseful "moving" day at the Masters as players fought hard to put themselves in position to contend for the championship on Sunday. With many player chasing their first major championship, you can expect the final round to be full of drama.
While Saturday began with rain that caused a suspension of play, it wasn't long before the skies cleared, the conditions softened slightly and players once again tried to take advantage of the few birdie opportunities the course yielded. Check out the slideshow to see how some FootJoy players fared on Saturday.

Click on the picture above to hear Zach's round 3 interview.
The players teed off on schedule for round 2 under beautiful conditions. The forecast called for partly sunny skies, temperatures between 75-80 and winds around 10mph. The course should be drying out now after all the rain last weekend so look for scores to come back a bit over the weekend as the course firms up. Several FootJoy players continue to hover near the top of the leaderboard (Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood) while others made a charge on Friday to jump into the mix (Vijay Singh). Check out some photos from Friday in the latest slideshow from Augusta.

Walking the line between frozen and liquid precipitation, an approaching storm system will bring just about everything on the lousy weather menu, and has prompted a winter weather advisory to be posted by the National Weather Service.
The advisory begins Sunday at 2 p.m. and continues through midnight and affects all of southeastern Wisconsin.
Sunday will start off with a short burst of snow, expected to bring about a half to an inch to the area, but as the afternoon approaches, the snow will transition to a sleet and freezing rain mix. It's that mix that has the greatest potential for hazardous conditions on the street, with as much as 0.15 inch of ice expected in some areas.
As the evening progresses, it's expected that the increasing warmth will give the area rain showers into Monday.
Make sure you take extra time in traveling as road conditions are likely to be treacherous. In addition, be aware of the effect of ice on nearby power lines or tree branches, and take what precautions you can.

I have had this beer before, but now I have a reason to drink it. I haven't been impressed with Samuel Smith's in the past, having only drank a few of their beers because of the overall quality that I experience. But tonight, I am drinking with a purpose. (Thanks to Kyle Lacy for helping me decide that our new tagline is, "It's fun to drink with a purpose.")
The beer smells good. Not really getting the nut nose that everyone talks about. Sorry, that sounded funny. But it does smell good, almost sweet. But the beer smells better than it tastes.
I have a feeling that this beer would get better the warmer it gets. But again, I am not that impressed with Samuel Smith's. Even their porter is weak. I will give this beer some credit, though, for being traditional. Plus, it's a staple in nearly every liquor store. And cheap. The big bottle and the gold wrapper gives it away.
There's just something about the "nut brown" that turns me off from the start. But that nose… man. Anyway, the beer is just mediocre at best. Oh well, hopefully we will only have a couple more of these Samuel Smith's on the list.

Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale is THE traditional English Brown Ale, brewed with hard well water (which was laid down in 1758 - that's old school) and fermented in 'stone Yorkshire squares'... I could go on but I'll spare you from the harsh glare of my encyclopaedic beer knowledge [I was reading from the bottle label]. The only other traditional EBA I've tried is Newcastle Brown, which was average at best, so the bar has been set pretty low for Mr Smith.
Poured from a 550ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: Deep hazy caramel body with a sizable 2cm tan head that slowly settles after the pour.
S: Nuts. As advertised. I like that. There is an earthy hop aroma and some caramel malt thrown in, but you know you came for the nuts, admit it [that's why you bought a "Nut Brown Ale" Dok].
T: Nuts, walnuts specifically, on the front palate, then we get a caramel middle (with an added pecan flavour) before it finishes with some dry earthy hops. These are subtle flavours but they do play nice together. The after taste has a touch of hazelnut biscotti and café latte to it. Earth and beauty in its purest simplicity.
M: Mid to light bodied with a light (almost English pub but a touch fizzier) carbonation.
D: Easily the best EBA I've tried, the nuttiness and the complexity of the palate, for what is essentially a lightweight beer style, has impressed me thoroughly... shame about the difficulty to obtain it and the price in general ($8.50 a bottle in Plonk) whilst Hook Norton Old Hooky is half the cost and not so bad. If however you are asking yourself what a nutty beer should taste like you need to seek out the fine Mr Samuel Smith and ply him for this Ale.
Food match: Stilton cheese, game such as roast grouse; pheasant; partridge; roast duck and guinea fowl... yeah I read from the label again.

A: clear ruddy brown body of ale, few fingers of tan head draped some lacing down the glass
S: toasty and nutty malts; dark herbal bread dough; something herbal and earthy
T: nut and biscuit flavors up front, highlighted by lighter points of wet toast and tea; drying malt tastes on finish
M: mellow and smooth, slight coating on the close; slim-bodied and easy drinking
O: a nice brown English pub-style from renowned English brewers. No wonder it's a classic.
My first English brown ale, I found it only vaguely comparable to various American brown ales I've had. While not partial to brown ales, I was very fond of Rogue's Hazelnut Brown and DFH's Indian Brown ales, and while you would never confuse this with them, I would consider it on par.

Hey, all,
It's great to see so many pilots stepping up. My WX sources currently indicate a 50% chance of thunderstorms in the Houston area on Monday. The outlook improves on Tuesday, then looks excellent from Wednesday on through the weekend for the entire route.
I have obligations all day Sat., 10/19, until the evening, and then I'm departing at 9 a.m. Sunday for a transport Houston-Austin-Dallas-Houston. I hope to be home by 5 p.m. I'll have little chance to check email until then (but feel free to call/text).
My vet would happily board Roxy, but they close at noon on Saturdays. I can't deliver a dog for boarding until 8 a.m. on Monday (and can't pick up a dog from boarding from noon Saturdays until 8 a.m. Mondays).
I'm going to send the link to pilots I know near Shreveport LA and in TN to see if we might be able to get all legs filled this next week/weekend. Will also forward to a great transport coordinator in TN.
Toni: Greenwood MS has a mighty nice tower-controlled airport.

^Aww. I know right. K/O were big, big faves of mine. It's sad their career got cut so short, just as they were about to come into their own IMO. With their more classical style, they'd have had some great battles with the Frenchies I'm sure. I never really thought FP/M and A/P was much of a convincing rivalry.
So did Anissina/Peizarat. That would've been a terrific rivalry.
I am pretty sure A/P would have beaten K/O at the 2000 Worlds with it being in France. After that all bets are off. Some strange things happened after that anyway like the Italians World title. I personally dont think K/O would have had a dominant unbeaten like run like G/P though even if they did win the 2002 OG and a 3rd World title at some point.
Bolero, 1984 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2zbbN4OL98
Paso Doble OSP, 1984 (they used to have to repeat the pattern 3 times - this was imo one of the best pieces of skating choreography ever) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaJtKHeis_g

Mack & Mabel, 1982 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmdv74L7nWo
I have no idea who I'd have in my own top 10 from 89 onwards though! But I definitely wouldn't have the Duchesnays on it. Isabelle was nowhere near the standard of an elite ice dancer, IMO - they only got where they did because of Dean's choreography. I've never really understood how they did as well as they did, beating K&P and U&Z
My top 10:
improving my ballad- like lines
10-Duchesnays (for their amazing FD in 1990 and 1991 !)

The greatest of all time: Torvill & Dean
longingfornia, I may have to update my list as well. I can't believe I left out T&D as they certainly belong on any greatest icedance list IMO. Need to do some more thinking.
I think L&A's situation with the medals they won was similar to F/P&M's. The timing was right (00/01) as well as the timing being right and they actually had great programs (01/02). ITA that L&A's Tango/Flamenco OD was excellent and one of the best OD's of that season. Their FD was very good as well but the choice of costume distracted from the skating as many found it in poor taste. I didn't realize until the season was almost over that the costumes and the coloring in Irina's hair was supposed to represent ashes and burned clothing. L&A consistently had IMO the worst taste in costumes so I thought that was more of the same.
Actually as good as the NA teams had/have become I still might have to leave all of them out of a top ten list. Especially if it's an all time best list of international skaters. Granted trends in dancing keep changing but many of the past skaters were so great that their skating and programs still stand up over time. To include T&D I might have to drop either DomShabs or V&M although V&M's skating and their medals might place them ahead of DomShabs. Both teams are fantastic. How about a top 20?

No injuries Domshabs would have won 08 worlds and been in play for Vancouver gold. Their 07 season was undermarked as well.

Up Against the Wall: Ricky Carmichael Finishes 29th in Martinsville "Scratch and Dent 250"
With its super short straights and amusement park-like corners, Martinsville is an old school anomaly and one that, far more than any other track on the Trans-American circuit, chews up and spits out brake parts. A full-on scratch and dent race 131.5 miles in length, Ricky Carmichael would be jamming the brake pedal into the aluminum floorboard of his Chevy well over 300 times throughout the course of the race. With boss and coach Kevin Harvick always in his ear, RC was certainly cognizant of not only his brakes, but of the other 35 trucks that would be leaving streaks of rubber and big gouges all over his #4 Oakley Chevrolet. However when all was said and done and his truck looking like a torn-up tuna fish can covered in melted Good Year rubber, Carmichael hung tough and finished a respectable 29th.
The Kroger 250, round four of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, was scheduled to go green on Saturday afternoon, May 28, 2009 at 2:00 P.M. However the Weatherman botched it all, and as race time approached, the rain began to fall so hard it was almost crooked. Bored out of his skull – but at least dry – Ricky Carmichael sat in #4 Oakley/KHI All-Stars Chevrolet Silverado. After a qualifying time of 20.710 at 91.434 miles per hour, he held down the 29th spot on the stating grid and, being the racer that he is, really wanted to get things rolling. Keen to take to the 0.526-mile oval known as Martinsville Speedway, Carmichael knew this race, the fourth of he "freshman" year in the discipline would require him, yet again to "prove" himself to the NASCAR contingent. Unlike the high speedways he had started 2009 upon – Daytona, California and Atlanta – Martinsville is a throwback. A throwback to 1948 when NASCAR was just getting started and short track racing and wild-eyed moonshine runners were the star attractions. Yet here Martinsville was, 62 years later, the smallest and lone track the original NASCAR series still raced on since 1948. That said, it's 800-foot straights and 588-foot turns, are so small and tight, it's all downright claustrophobic. All this withstanding, a VERY unique situation for a 15-time AMA Motocross and Supercross Champion to be in.
Remarked 1981, 1982 and 1985 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Fox TV analyst and Darrell Waltrip of the rookie Carmichael, "Whether you are racing a car or a truck, there is one constant here: Anger management."
Added fellow TV talking head Phi Parsons, "It takes a rhythm here. You're on the brakes, there is beating and banging – it's a real throwback. And, yes, Carmichael. Like all the other drivers, will need to use anger management. Ricky Carmichael will be prepared, though, as he's used to short track racing after doing the whole Camping World East Series last year."
With its super short straights and amusement park-like corners, Martinsville is an old school anomaly and one that, far more than any other track on the Trans-American circuit, chews up and spits out brake parts. A full-on scratch and dent race 131.5 laps in length, Ricky Carmichael would be jamming the brake pedal into the aluminum floorboard of his Chevy well over 300 times throughout the course of the race. With boss and coach Kevin Harvick always in his ear, RC was certainly cognizant of not only his brakes, but of the other 35 trucks that would leaving streaks of melted rubber and big gouges al over his #4 Oakley Chevrolet. Now he just needed to go out and execute.
Etched out of the mountains of south-central Virginia, Monday morning at Martinsville Speedway dawned cool at 55 degrees, with skies streaks of blue and grey. Race day. At 12:08 P.M. the command "Gentleman start your engines," was shouted and immediately 36 trucks and over 25,000 horsepower coughed to life. A few pace laps later, the green fag was unfurled and waved and it was on, Rick Crawford streaking into the lead. Carmichael, with nowhere to hide, held station in 29, waiting for things to calm down and sort themselves out. On lap number 13, the first caution was waved do to the engine of Johnny Sauter's #13 truck turning into a grenade. On lap 24, the race went back to green, but not 10 seconds after the restart, Colin Braun punted the inside wall and back out came the yellow. On lap 34 the race back to green, and Carmichael moved up four spots to 24th. Then, on lap number 49, Carmichael's teammate Ron Hornaday hit the inside curb, which then caused his Longhorn Chevrolet to rocket up the track and heavily clout the #1 truck of resigning series champion Johnny Benson. Under another caution on lap number 69, Carmichael moved up to the 18th track position, and by lap 85 was in 14th and now deep in the middle of the fray. And to that end, a few laps later, like a pinball, Carmichael and the #4 Oakley Silverado careened off a curb and the #7 truck of J.R. Fitzpatrick, got sideways and spun thus bringing out a caution. When the race restarted on lap number 100, Carmichael was way back in 29th spot, but another caution flag was soon thrown attributed to a spinning truck – the sixth caution of the race – and Carmichael was able to get back on the lead lap and when the race went back to green he was in 25th place.
With exactly 100 laps remaining in the race, Ricky Carmichael was in 25th position and16.395 seconds behind the leader. Nonetheless, he kept chipping away at it, waiting to see what would come next. Then, with 64 laps left it all went sideways, litteraly, for Carmichael when tangled up with the #84 truck of Chris Fontaine.
"Ricky Carmichael has had a bit of a rough day," said announcer Michael Waltrip after the smoke had cleared away.
On the completion of the white flag – the conclusive lap number 250 – Carmichael and his battered and bruised #4 Chevy flashed beneath the checkered flag, the 29th truck to do so. On the upside of things, his two KHL All-Stars teammates, Kevin Harvick and Ron Hornaday, finished the race in first and second, respectively.
"Everything was really good until that first spin," lamented a somewhat frustrated Carmichael. "I learned a lot today – especially that it's so tough to come back from a mistake. I was able to get to the finish to gain the experience. My teammates Harv [Kevin Harvick] and [Ron] Hornaday have run more pace laps here than I've had total laps so I needed to learn a lot in a hurry when the green flag fell. We were able to hang on to the lead lap after the first crash, but then the second one [on lap 186] really jacked us up. After that, it was just hanging on by a thread and trying to stay out of the way of the other guys."

It's 14 feet tall and even more advanced than the screens in New York City's Times Square. It's called the cube.
The digital video board will wrap two sides of a building at 7th and Q Streets.
It's 14x40 feet on one side and 14x14 on the other.
Because of its size, the Lincoln City Council had to create a special sign district in the new "Railyard" area of the Haymarket. The council approved it with a seven to zero vote Monday afternoon.
When it's finished, The Cube will show specially designed content.
"We can show different artwork, we can show videos, we can show Husker pre-game, Husker games, I think it can really add to the atmosphere," said Brett West, Director of Development, WRK.
The Cube will be installed the first week of August and it should be ready for the first home Husker football game on Aug. 31.

Roger Breed says student-enrollment patterns have changed over the past 20 years, in part because more Nebraskans are moving from rural areas to cities. He says that strains resources and the tax base in urban districts, while rural districts face the challenge of reaching fewer students in isolated areas.
Breed says rural districts may be helped by online learning programs and hinted more details would be available in a few weeks.
Breed's comments came Wednesday after his address to educators gathering in Grand Island. Some 1,000 school administrators, principals and teachers are in attendance.
Breed says he's asked educators to be aware of how changing student enrollment affects their school district.

It may have been called "the Devil's music" when it first burst onto the scene back in the 1950s, but these days many of the greatest rock heroes follow the word of the Lord! After achieving their dreams of becoming rich and famous, some stars have found their lives in the music biz spiritually empty. That's when they turned to the Christian faith for enlightenment and peace. But that doesn't mean they can't still funk out with the best of 'em! Well ok, sometimes it does…

Metallica's Robert Trujillo Talks About His New Jaco Pastorius Documentary And The Bassist's Influence On His Music
People tend to think that if you play in one of the hardest and heaviest heavy metal bands of all time you must only listen to music that sounds similar to your own. However, most great musicians will tell you they draw inspiration from a wide variety of influences across the musical spectrum, regardless of genre. Such is the case with Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. He first came to prominence playing with skate punks Suicidal Tendencies, then played funk metal in the spinoff group Infectious Grooves before landing a gig with Ozzy Osbourne and eventually taking over the 4-string in the biggest heavy metal band in the world. And his greatest influence is a jazz fusion bassist who is best known for his guest apperences on other artists' albums and only released two proper solo albums before his tragic death at the age of 35.

Important notes on articles:
I have had one for several years. by lambconnection
Most of the time I keep my Glock 19 (9mm 15+1) in my truck where it is easily accessible.
When I feel the need I may carry it, though it is difficult to conceal without a coat. When I do carry it, I use a Minotaur holster made by Comp-Tac. It's a little expensive but very comfortable for IWB (Inside Waist Band) carry because it's leather on one side and kydex on the other.
I also have a Kahr Arms CW9 (9mm 7+1) that is thinner and smaller. It can be more easily concealed under just a shirt. I use a kydex trigger guard made by Raven Arms that comes with a parachute cord and carabiner to allow it to be attached to a belt loop. This allows you to safely carry it tucked in your waistband ("Mexican" style) with the trigger fully covered. When you draw, the carabiner catches on the belt loop, pulls the parachute cord, and pops the kydex trigger guard off.
I also own a Kimber Custom TLE II (.45 ACP 1911) that I love to shoot but I find too large for concealed carry.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I have included my email if you would prefer to talk offline.

December 1, 1987 -- Those who consider Buffalo a hockey town should never get one of the persons who helped make it that way. It was on this day that former Sabres coach and general manager died at the age of 69.
Imlach had an impressive career in hockey once his playing days were over. He became the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1958, and soon hired himself as coach. Imlach won four Stanley Cups there, including three in a row. Toronto hasn't won one since.
But his best work might have come in Buffalo. The Knox brothers reached up the QEW when they were granted an expansion franchise for Imlach, who left the Leafs in 1968. Imlach was the first general manager and coach in Sabres' history.
Imlach left coaching due to health problems in his second year, but as GM he put together a team that reached the NHL finals in only five years. It was a memorable job performance. Sellout crowds at Memorial Auditorium were the norm during most of the 1970s.
Imlach's teams stalled in the late 1970s, and he was fired by the Sabres in 1978. He rejoined the Maple Leafs. Imlach couldn't duplicate his success there, and left a few years later. Heart problems stayed with him until his death.
Imlach was one of the first members of the Sabres' Hall of Fame. There's no arguing that choice.
