Game 7: Bruins at Lightning - Game day thread
posted at 10/19/2013 5:12 PM EDT
"Is he in or not?
While Claude Julien said on Friday that there was a "good chance" that Carl Soderberg would play against the Lightning, the coach declined to share his lines before the game. So it's still a question of whether Soderberg will be in, which would necessitate sitting another one of his forwards.
The two most likely to find themselves in the press box tonight, should Julien put Soderberg in, would be Jordan Caron and Brad Marchand, though it might be a bit early for Julien to take Marchand out despite his middling performance over the early part of the season.
Soderberg would be a boon in one area for the Bruins -- net-front presence. It's something that the team has discussed that it needs to improve, and it's a place where Soderberg proved adept at scoring in Sweden.
It'll be especially important tonight against a hot Lightning team that has lost only once since falling to the Bruins in the first game of the season. Big goalie Ben Bishop and his 1.57 goals against average has been a major reason for the team's good start, and creating traffic around him would be a help for the B's.
Game time: 7 p.m. TV/Radio: NESN/98.5 The Sports Hub Records: Bruins 4-2-0, Lightning 5-2-0
Projected lineups:
Lucic-Krejci-Iginla Smith-Bergeron-Eriksson Marchand-Kelly-Caron/Soderberg Paille-Campbell-Thornton
With the defensive rotation still going strong for the Bruins (and an optional skate this morning), it's unclear which player will be the healthy scratch on the defensive side.
Tuukka Rask
Notes: Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his starts, and has won all five of them so far this season. ... The Bruins won the first meeting between the teams, 3-1, on the strength of two short-handed goals in the season opener. ... Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos lead the Lightning with 10 points each. No Bruin has more than five."

I believe Julien go's with Soderberg tonight probably over Caron. Soderberg earned his spot with the coach during training camp..........

Leading the way was Spanish Springs senior setter and outside hitter Lyndsey Anderson, who has been doing it all for the team the past four years. Anderson earned top billing in the HDL this fall as coaches chose her as the HDL Player of the Year.
In 16 league games, Anderson had 358 assists, 67 kills, 59 digs, 27 aces and 10 blocks. She also led the team with a .455 hitting percentage.
"I think the biggest thing for Lyndsey is every aspect of the game she plays for us; serving, passing, setting, hitting, defense. She just does it all," SSHS volleyball coach Frank Sandomenico said. "She makes the whole team flow. Without her, it wouldn't look as easy as it does. Hitters, you notice when they make big plays. Setters, you don't always notice how good they are. I think that happens a lot with Lyndsey. You don't notice how good she is until you watch other teams play."
The other top honor went to Reed coach Kristen Flagtvedt, who was named the HDL Coach of the Year, after guiding a Raiders squad, that lost a large senior core from a year ago, to a 13-3 league mark this season and second place in league.
"It felt really good. To be recognized by the other coaches is very nice," Flagtvedt said. "I was more excited that more of my girls got recognized this year."
The awards didn't stop there.
All three big hitters for Spanish Springs were selected to first team all-league. Senior outside hitters Melly Munley and Rachel Loadholt joined junior middle blocker Gabby Szachara on the first team.
Munley paced the Cougars with 186 kills to go along with 23 aces and 92 digs. Loadholt had 169 kills, 128 digs and 20 aces, while Szachara led the team with 38 blocks and knocked down 104 kills.
"Those three provided a big chunk of our kills this year," Sandomenico said. "We just felt like every game we needed double-digit kills out of Melly and Rachel and close to double-digit kills out of Gabby for us to be successful. They were definitely our three go-to hitters, and they came through for us big time. They brought it on the offensive and defensive side of the ball."
A pair of juniors made the first team list for Reed. Outside hitter Moriah Maluotoga and middle blocker Madi Funk rounded out the local schools' first team selections.
Maluotoga led the team with 175 kills in 16 league games. She was also first in digs. Funk had a team-high 48 blocks and was third in kills with 157.
"I was very proud of both of them for being able to get first team," Flagtvedt said. "Mo has been a huge part of the volleyball team for the past few years. For her to be recognized at the first-team level is phenomenal. She really helped the team gel together both by her example playing and her leadership skills.
"Madi got to play a little bit last year, but didn't see a whole lot of time. Then to be one of the starters this year, it was really fun to watch her become confident and someone our team could rely on to block when we needed them, and to put the ball away at the right time as well."
On the second team, Reed got senior setter Taylor Stefan and junior outside hitter/libero Kelsey Donohoe, while Spanish Springs' Hannah Meadows was selected. Stefan finished league play with 619 assists.
Junior Brandi Brucato was an honorable mention for the Cougars, and sophomore Emilie Braun received the same recognition for the Raiders.
•In the Division I-A, Sparks reached the postseason as the No. 8 seed and five Railroaders impressed opposing coaches along the way.
Sparks got two players on the first team — Krystal Parker at middle blocker and Marjorie Cabales at utility.
"They were huge assets to the team. Krystal has been leading our team for a couple years now," Sparks volleyball coach Tarina Elliott said. "She did also play a setter and all the way around, back row and everywhere. But her middle blocking was definitely a bonus for us, and she carried our team. Marjorie played all over for us this year. She was a hustler and worked really hard. She definitely earned her spot on our court and the first team."
Outside hitter Jessica Garcia was the only Railroader named to the second team.
Nina Cuabra and Pearla Cordoba were honorable mention selections for the SHS spikers.

OURAY – Caldera Mineral Resources LLC and the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership have formed an unlikely alliance with the goal of improving water quality at three abandoned mine sites near Ouray.
Caldera, the new operator of the Camp Bird Mine, has pledged $50,000 in cash and in-kind services in support of UWP's efforts to win a Clean Water Act Section 319 Grant from Colorado's Department of Health and Environment Nonpoint Source Program. Grant funds, totaling $163,000, would be used to conduct remediation work at the Atlas Mill near Yankee Boy Basin, the Vernon Mine in Gray Copper Gulch and the Michael Breen mine site on Engineer Pass.
The overall goal of the proposed project is to reduce nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution at the three sites. This kind of pollution results when streams and mine drainage interact with tailings and waste rock. NPS remediation generally consists of removing the tailings and waste rock, or re-routing stream flows so they do not pass through the polluting waste material.
UWP executive director Agnieszka Przeszlowska, who wrote the Section 319 grant, expects to find out sometime in late March whether her efforts were successful. The $420,000 project would take four years to execute, and would be paid for by a combination of Section 319 grant funds, Caldera's cash match, in-kind services from Caldera and other entities, and additional federal contributions.
Caldera Mineral Resources, headed by CEO John Bryan, is now about six months into the process of revitalizing Ouray's historic Camp Bird Mine, in a bid to bring it back into production. Currently, over 20 workers are employed at the site, conducting surface work in preparation for underground stabilization and exploration in the near future.
Bryan brings to the enterprise a deep sense of indebtedness to the environment, and a desire to right what he sees as the past wrongs of the hard rock miners of a century ago who left a legacy of acid mine drainage and heavy metal loading that continues to haunt watersheds across the West.
Thus, last fall, Bryan reached out to the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership to see if the group had any projects Caldera could get involved with. UWP had already set its sights on applying for the Section 319 grant, and welcomed Caldera's contributions.
Bryan is excited about the potential collaboration. "Our goal is to build a portfolio of a number of reclamation projects," he said. "We are actively looking for more opportunities such as this, and asking 'Who's got projects?'"
Bryan said his company's vision is to participate in designing a model for how responsible mining can be conducted, and to have a major positive impact on the community and the environment. "We want to be net contributors," he said.
If UWP wins the Section 319 grant, remediation work would take place at the three sites during the summers of 2014 and 2015. Before and after that, there would be continual water quality monitoring. Work in 2016 would also include the construction of interpretive signs as well as post water quality implementation. The project would wrap in April 2017.
"We needed a match, cash or in-kind, and that's where Caldera has been really helpful," Przeszlowska said.
Caldera's in-kind support would mostly come in the form of site assessments, design and crew time, including expertise from Caldera's water quality consultant Mike Thompson, whose company Reardon Steel, would execute water quality sampling throughout the ambitious project.
According to Przeszlowska, work at the Atlas Mill would mainly involve the removal of tailings deposited from the historic mill in the riparian zone, stream bank stabilization, and potential re-engineering of the stream and revegetation.
"We would also install interpretive signs to highlight historical heritage of mining in the county," Przeszlowska said. The Ouray County Historical Society would assist in this endeavor.
At the Vernon Mine in Gray Copper Gulch, remediation work would focus on two draining adits, rerouting drainage around waste rock to decrease interaction with the stream, and removing waste rock.
The Michael Breen site, highly visible from Engineer Pass road, also has drainage from an adit that interacts with waste rock. "We would be doing some diversions of drainage, and also hope to remove as much of the waste rock as possible," Przeszlowska said. "We also asked for in-kind support from the Ouray County Historical Society, and matching funds from Caldera to stabilize a load-out structure which is highly visible, to highlight mining heritage and work done at site."
All three sites currently contribute water that doesn't meet water quality standards for heavy metals into streams and rivers that are on the Clean Water Act's list of impaired waters.
"Our priorities were to pick sites that contribute water to segments of the Uncompahgre River that are impaired, as well as sites that are accessible, and visible to the public," Przeszlowska said.
Colorado's Section 319 grant program is a partnership between CDPHE and the EPA. The state gets federal funding through the EPA and allocates it through grants to pay for projects that improve water quality. The grant program is arranged in a five-year rotation, prioritizing certain watershed basins in each grant cycle.
Przeszlowska is hopeful that UWP's grant application will be successful. "Remediating waters impaired by heavy metals is a top priority statewide," she noted. "And this year, the Gunnison Basin is a priority basin, which gives us a more competitive edge."

Borges and the Eternal Orangutansby Luis Fernando Verissimo Jull Costa
Jorge Luis Borges is the hero of this literary whodunit by one of Brazil's most celebrated writers. Vogelstein is a loner who has always lived among books. Suddenly, fate grabs hold of his insignificant life and carries him off to Buenos Aires, to a conference on Edgar Allan Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story. There Vogelstein meets his idol, Jorge Luis Borges, and for reasons that a mere passion for literature cannot explain, he finds himself at the center of a murder investigation that involves arcane demons, the mysteries of the Kaballah, the possible destruction of the world, and the Elizabethan magus John Dee's theory of the "Eternal Orangutan," which, given all the time in the world, would end up writing all the known books in the cosmos. Verissimo's small masterpiece is at once a literary tour de force and a brilliant mystery novel.

"Such a cute design... the form factor is small and adorable, perfect for a valentine. Loved how we could personalize the photo and the name. Quick service, great quality. Fourth time getting these kids valentines and not disappointed. Will order again!"
"Quality of paper and printing was fantastic, as always. Great design for my little man. He took them to his classmates at his preschool for their valentine party. We received lots of positive feedback. I liked being able to personalize it with his picture. I had his name printed on the cards, but he still signed the back of each valentine. He is four, so his writing skills are not quite perfected, so I liked having his name printed as well. My son is a superhero fan, so he loved the overall design of the card."
"This card was a favorite among family and friends! My little boy loves to dress up as a super hero so this was the perfect way to capture his personality and send a valentine. Everything about this card was precious and perfect!"
"My 8yo son wanted cards that were not too sweet or cute. I wanted a card that wasn't another ad for a toy or TV show. This simple card was our middle ground. He thought the phone design was cool, as did his guy friends, while the photo placement allows you to highlight whatever aspect of your child's personality you like: silly, sweet, cool, your choice. I only wish they had more techie or graphic-novel cards and invitations to make older boys get this excited for stationery."
"This card was obviously perfect for my 5yo son, the one who loves to play at being a chivalrous knight, right down to calling Mama "my lady." Your Sir Adorable or Prince Charming, the one who kisses the girls or is there to play groom when they want to play wedding, will love a card that is sweetly romantic while still being kid-friendly--and BOY-friendly."

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference today in the Capitol Visitor Center. Below is a transcript of the press conference:
Leader Pelosi. Good afternoon. Today marks the third day of the Republican Government Shutdown. It could be over in hours if the Republicans would just take "yes" for an answer. Yesterday afternoon, over 100 Members of Congress and others who backed what we were doing, were on the steps of the Capitol and spoke out to Speaker Boehner, telling him to allow a vote on the – clean CR means nothing to the American people – allow a vote to keep government open.
On two separate occasions yesterday on the floor, we proposed motions to keep government open by accepting the Senate bill. I remind you that what the Senate bill contains is the number $986 [billion] that the House Republicans proposed. And on both occasions, every Democrat voted to keep government open, swallowing the $986 [billion], even though it is a figure that we would have mostly opposed, but not when the issue is, are you going to shut government down. Last night, following a meeting at the White House, Leader Reid and I proposed, again, to the Speaker to accept his number of $986 [billion] and asked him to bring up a vote.
One by one, Republican Members are willing to say they are willing to reopen government by voting for this $986 [billion] number. Now, really, enough of them have spoken that if the Speaker brought the bill to the floor, it would pass, strongly supported by the Democrats with enough Republican votes, be sent to the President, be law of the land, [and] government would be opened in a matter of hours.
Instead, the Republicans are taking the piecemeal approach on funding our government that has nothing more than – it's really a gimmick and we are not buying their gimmick. They can't cherry pick their way out of their own manufactured crisis. These games have to stop. This is not just about this particular – when you cherry pick and the rest on an appropriations bill, now, as an appropriator, in Congress you get forged as an appropriator if that's where you have served. You can't cherry pick because the legislation has oneness. On the Labor-HHS bill, for example, we call it "lamb eat lamb." There is nothing that you would want to cut in order to pay for something else. There is a oneness to it. So, if you pick out one piece of it and say: "This is what we're going to support," you are upsetting the balance that is in the bill. So this is, I'm speaking to you now as an appropriator, this is really an irresponsible approach.
I'm concerned now that the Republicans are trying to buy time in order to tie the shutdown of government to defaulting on the full faith and credit of the United States of America. And that would be cataclysmic. It would be dangerous to our economy. I was so proud of the President last night because he was very clear about not negotiating on the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
What I suggested last night: two things. One, let's just take it off the table. Democratic President, Republican Congress; Democratic Congress, Republican President. Let's take it off the table. Surely people have talked in the context of fiscal responsibility about suggestions they may have, but we have never defaulted on the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Let's take that off the table. And of course, this is all about the Affordable Care Act that they want to overturn, defund, prolong, whatever it is. And the fact is, is that they have no connection to each other, and they should not be connected.
But in addition to saying, let's take the full faith and credit of the United States of America off the table as a threat, as a threat, as leverage, or anything else, let's also remind each other that any bill that is passed in Congress can be revisited. Another bill can pass. You can amend or whatever. If we all thought that every bill that was passed would be forever be the law, you can always improve, you can always have a debate, but you shouldn't. You must not do it as a threat to the full faith and credit or whether you will keep government open or not. I can only think that they don't have confidence in their ideas that they would think they have to go to these extremes to have anybody listen to them.
In addition to the cataclysmic effect not lifting the debt ceiling will have on our economy, on global markets, and the rest, it is always important to note what it means to the kitchen table discussion that America's families have. It will raise interest rates on credit cards, mortgages, student loans, you name it. It would also, as I've said to you before, have a negative impact on the 401(k)s.
Don't just take that from me. The Treasury Department this morning issued a report that warned that the dire consequences of taking us to the brink and perhaps over the brink: our credit markets could freeze; value of the dollar could plummet; interest rates could skyrocket, making it harder for families to get home loans and also for businesses to invest, spend, and hire, in addition to what I said earlier.
In 2011, Americans saw the impact of the last debt limit crisis: lower consumer confidence, falling stock markets, slowing growth. And that was just a discussion of it, just a discussion of it that we had our credit rating downgraded. In 2013, this is a self-inflicted wound that we should avoid. I've referenced this lately because it is that time of the year. Five years ago today, President Bush signed the TARP legislation. For Members of Congress, this was an extraordinarily difficult vote. As I've said to you before, we saw it as a meltdown of our financial institutions that was because of the policies, the failed economic policies of the Bush Administration. President Bush, his administration, [and] his Secretary of Treasury came to us with their suggested solution. We amended it, but we didn't like it. And yet it was the Democrats who saved the day and supported President Bush on this. Republicans to this day have not produced the 100 votes they promised for that bill.
That's what we are here for. We have our differences, we have our discussions, but this is about the United States of America, the greatest country that ever existed in the history of the world. The least our Republican colleagues could do is vote to keep government open, as we supported President Bush when our economy was in such danger.
We are ready to reach across the aisle. This is a big concession for us to go to the $986 [billion]. A big concession. You've heard our distinguished Whip, Mr. Hoyer, rail against it. [Congresswoman] Rosa DeLauro, a significant leader on the Appropriations Committee, railing against it. And yet in order to keep government open, we would extend the hand of friendship to our colleagues and say, "Ok, we will keep government open; we will accept your number and let's go to the table for discussion."
So, it is awful in terms of our government being closed, but now we are in the third day of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, a dream come true for many people in our country that they can fully realize the promise of our Founders of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – healthier life, liberty to pursue their happiness.
It is interesting, and I'm excited that in the first two days in the federal government-run health insurance marketplaces. That means don't count California, don't count New York, don't count places that have state-run exchanges marketplaces. In the federal government-run health insurance marketplaces, seven million people visited healthcare.gov. More than 295,000 people called the Health Care Hotline, and 167,000 Web chats requested on healthcare.gov. This is in two days excluding California, New York, and some other states that have their own exchanges.
The overwhelming and ongoing response makes it clear that no matter how hard some try to stop it, the Affordable Health Care is up and running, and Americans will keep gaining access to affordable, quality health care. And we will continue to take pride in adding a pillar of economic and health security to our society. Social Security, Medicare, affordable health care, Affordable Care Act. We are very proud.
Too bad it was intentional Republicans wanted to shut down to dim the light on the Affordable Care Act. The fact is, that never dimmed our enthusiasm for something so important to the American people.
With that, I would be pleased to take any questions you may have.
Q: Ms. Pelosi, you described a oneness for appropriations. Back in the mid '90s, President Clinton and the Congress were able to do things such as fund the D.C. government during a shutdown, have benefits for veterans during the shutdown. Why is there opposition from Democrats now as opposed to 1995?
Leader Pelosi. That was a different story. We were doing appropriations bills then. And if we go to the table and open up government, we can go to do appropriations bills. It wasn't a question of saying: "We are going to take this piece." You have the Labor Health and Human Services bill. "We are just taking the National Institutes of Health." We have the Veterans bill, which we passed in June with many more billions of dollars in the bill, and now they are taking a piece of it.
This piecemeal effect is, well, it's irresponsible and it's harmful. And we had passed already, before you went into the shutdown, some appropriation bills already in the middle '90s. But this is a different approach. It's totally unacceptable. And it's not going to get us to the table. A and B, well, I should say A: it is keeping government shut down.
Q: It's not going to get you to the table because Democrats are holding fast against it, but doesn't it make it more difficult to explain to the public? And aren't the optics sort of bad for Democrats and getting worse if Republicans keep passing these piecemeal approaches, and they keep getting passed? Are Members of your caucus getting nervous?
Leader Pelosi. No. And if Republicans want to think that, let them think that. We have to do the right thing, whatever the optics, whatever the right thing is, to open government and then have any discussion you want. You want to cut over $4 billion in veterans benefits as they did the other day? Then let's have that discussion and let's amend the appropriations bill to do that. I don't think that that's what the American people want.
But they don't want to go to the table because they don't want the public to see in its totality the disaster that their budget is. And that's why they're, as I say, "cherry picking." We're not going to support that because it's wrong, and I salute [Senator] Harry Reid for holding his Caucus together, as we have held ours. But his is 100 percent. I think that's great. And I thank the President for his strength on this.
Yes, mam?
Q: Madam Leader, yesterday you began to circulate a letter calling for a clean CR. I was wondering if you were circulating that letter to Republicans as well as Democrats, and
Leader Pelosi. They are welcome to sign on.
Q: If Republicans have expressed interest in signing on?
Leader Pelosi. They're welcome to sign on, that's for sure. But you see, on the floor of the House, the Republicans said "no" to their own number. Every Democrat voted to open government by accepting the Republican number. And the Republicans said "no" to their own number.
But enough of them are coming forward now, you see one at a time coming forward, saying they want a clean CR. They haven't abandoned their leadership by voting with us on the floor, but I think that they are making their voices heard that they'd like to support the bill should it be brought to the floor.
Q: Madam Leader, can you explain how you were in that meeting with [Speaker] Boehner, [Senate Minority Leader] McConnell and President Obama and [Senate Majority Leader] Reid for almost an hour and a half and apparently made no progress? How is that even possible?
Leader Pelosi. I don't know how you are characterizing the meeting, but I did not see it as a meeting that did not make progress. I see it as a meeting where progress is made when you don't waste your time on skirting the issues. I think that we had great clarity with the President, and I'm always proud of him, as you know, but he was very clear about our Constitution, the role of Congress, the role of the President, and how we have to respect each person's responsibility. And we all believe that it is the responsibility of Congress to pay our bills, that's where the legislation comes from – and to pass legislation that would keep government open.
So, we had that clarity. I made the point, as I said earlier: Let's take the full faith and credit off the table. I'm not saying the Republicans agreed with that. I'm just saying I made that point. And also, if you want to debate the Affordable Care Act, debate it in the Congress, but not to say: "We're shutting down government unless you delay it for a year, or overturn it, or whatever else."
So, I always find that meetings are productive when the air is cleared, where people make very clear what they're willing to do, and I did not leave there thinking that there wasn't some possibility. Maybe I'm always optimistic. But we all have to do everything we can to try to find common ground to open government and, again, of course, lift the debt ceiling. And that's why our Members, if I had told you a week ago that we could help the Republicans pass the bill on the floor, I would be doing it with far fewer Democrats than I can now. But we've worked through this to say: "We must accept their number because so many people are out of work."
Republicans make this big thing about how they support veterans while they are cutting billions of dollars in the amendment that they had on the floor. Do you know that almost 600,000 veterans are at work in the federal government. Many of them in intelligence, in defense, and really, across the board – 600,000 people of the 2.1 million person workforce. More than a quarter of the people who are now without work and pay are veterans. And we say we are supporting our veterans. Let's support them and their families, and where they are now, and where they are now.
So, I think that this piecemeal effect that you were asking about cut $6.2 billion from the Department of Veterans Affairs. So when you say ask: "Are your Members getting nervous?" No, they are not getting nervous about voting against something that cuts $6.2 million from Veterans Affairs. We just have to get the message out. And I am counting on you to do that.
You know, I think that we could stipulate to a certain set of facts on things that may have been hazy. And we have goodwill among us, and that is always useful. But I'm very proud of the President. So, I think it was a very useful meeting. And how long was it?
Q: Almost an hour and a half.
Leader Pelosi. Is that right? I didn't realize that.
Q: There is a bipartisan group working on a proposal that would include essentially a clean CR accompanied with repeal of the medical device tax with a pay for, not necessarily a tax, but accompanying it and both Democrats and Republicans earlier today supporting that. Do you think by changing it from a part of the CR to accompanying it, it wouldn't violate sort of the principles you guys have laid out, which is no changes to Obamacare in the CR? And is that something that you could possibly support?
Leader Pelosi. No. You left out one important ingredient. It is $986 [billion] for six months. That is really the more significant part of what their proposal is.
But I mean, I think it is really important for people to put their ideas on the table and to the extent that they have conversations in a bipartisan way. That is what we came here to do, and that is very wholesome. I don't think that we should – I think that, again, as I said before, if you want to have a discussion about the medical device tax or anything else over here, fine. But do not tie it to shutting down government. I mean, it just, it shouldn't be there.
But I have complete respect for the people who are trying very hard to find common ground because, just to get to your point about last night, all of these conversations, you learn from them, and they advance the cause. So, but my problem, first of all, I don't want to unravel the Affordable Care Act. If you want to take it up separately, but unraveling the Affordable Care Act in order not to shut down government, it is not going to happen.
But the $986 [billion] for six months is devastating to our country. When I say we'll be able to agree with the number, it was because it was for six weeks, not for six months. But I think that is all good that people are working together and, again, I have the highest regard for my colleagues who were engaged in that. I don't know who the Republicans are because I haven't gotten a report as to who was here.
Yes, Chad?
Q: You have spoken, I think you've spoken several times about the full faith and credit and the budget ceiling coming here?
Leader Pelosi. Yes.
Q: Even though, you know, these are two distinct issues, they are getting blended together probably because of the calendar and the direness of the situation here. But from a tactical standpoint, from an inside standpoint, doesn't it actually help solve both problems if they are melded together in some way? Because then you can say: "Look, we have to get the government open. We can't, you know, blow the debt ceiling. We have to solve both of these issues." And that helps when you guys, the big four, do get in the room together.
Leader Pelosi. Well, first of all, it isn't because of the calendar. It's intentional to bring these two things together. Why do you think we're doing this piecemeal, ridiculous exercise in futility on the floor of the House which is going nowhere? Because they are stalling for time so that they can jam up against the debt ceiling. I hope they prove me wrong. I hope the Speaker calls me and says: "We're going to the floor." But it gives every appearance of getting dangerously close to the conversation on the debt ceiling.
But you had an element of truth in what you said about "wouldn't it be helpful." My point is: Let's open government, have it open for six weeks at the $986 [billion] level, and go to the table and have the budget discussions immediately, because that chat will bring, could solve of the debt ceiling angst.
I think one of the things that is problematic in terms of our credit rating and the value of our dollar and all the rest of that is it's not just the credit rating, which is vital, it's also the uncertainty about the budget, having a budget. And if we show them that we're going to the table, we're having discussions on the budget, as we should have done six months ago, as the Republicans called for in regular order and then walked away from, if we can be having those discussions, it could take us to a place where there is more of a comfort level for some who have a discomfort level to raise the debt ceiling.
With that I am going to go back to work. Our Democrats are working very hard to keep government, get government to be open. I'm very proud of them. They are full of ideas, imagination, integrity and the rest. And that is what is so sad about this. The opportunity costs. The people working together in an entrepreneurial spirit and employing, engaging the talent of our new Members on both sides of the aisle to think in fresh ways about how we can get the job done for the American people.
Thank you. Bye-bye.

On the gentle, rolling slopes of the Emerald Hills, in a picturesque landscape of natural beauty, one of the vilest forms of tyranny has taken root. Gnoll slavers, operating out of the nearby Moss Stone Keep, work their "cattle" to their deaths tilling away at the unyielding soil. These poor souls, men and women, humans and elves, all live and die under the yoke of their treacherous masters - all to cultivate a difficult weed for the gnolls to sell on the black market. Who dares stand against these terrible creatures? Who dares to free the captives from their bleak fate? Hopefully your heroes!
"Slave Pens of Moss Stone" is the next installment in Reality Blurs' Old School Fantasy line of adventure modules. Hearken back to the days of legend and lore, when your spells, swords, and smarts alone kept the forces of evil at bay. When you're ready for adventure, remember Reality Blurs!

Alan Fram and Stephen Ohlemacher / The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department's No. 2 official told Congress on Wednesday that his agency played no role in the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups.
Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin made the statement in testimony he prepared to deliver to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. At the same hearing, the star witness – IRS official Lois Lerner – was ready to invoke her constitutional right to not answer questions.
In his prepared remarks, Wolin said it was "absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable" that the IRS subjected tea party and other conservative groups seeking non-profit status to extra scrutiny from 2010 to 2012.
He said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general who focuses on taxes, told him last year that he was investigating IRS's targeting of the groups.
"I told him that he should follow the facts wherever they lead. I told him that our job is to stay out of the way and let him do his work," Wolin said.
"There is no indication that Treasury was involved in the inexcusable behavior at the IRS," he added.
Lawmakers are trying to learn whether the IRS targeting was politically motivated. The inspector general and IRS officials have said there is no evidence of that.
As the hearing began, Oversight panel Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., repeated a frequent complaint from lawmakers in the IRS episode — that IRS officials who knew earlier about the tartgeting didn't tell Congress about it.
"Congress was misled. The American people were misled," Issa said.
Lerner triggered the recent IRS uproar at a legal conference nearly two weeks ago, when she revealed that the agency's targeting of conservative groups and apologized for the actions.
Lerner, 62, an attorney who joined the IRS in 2001, heads the unit that decides whether groups qualify for the status. She has come under fire from members of both parties, including Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, who said in an interview Tuesday that she should lose her job.
George, the Treasury inspector general, has said he told Wolin in mid-2012 that he was investigating the IRS' targeting of conservative groups, a report that was released last week. That means Wolin was the highest-ranking Treasury official to have known about the probe during last year's elections, making him a focus of interest for lawmakers.
"What did you know and when? Who did you tell?" Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, a senior member of the Oversight Committee, said Tuesday of what he hopes to learn from Wolin.
Lerner's attorney, William W. Taylor III, has requested that she be excused from Wednesday's hearing, writing in the letter that forcing her to appear "would have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her." But the committee has subpoenaed her and panel members say they expect her to attend.
"She better be there. We're planning on it," Chaffetz said.
In writing that Lerner would use her Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate herself, Taylor noted that the Justice Department has started an investigation into the IRS controversy. He also referred to a letter she received last week from Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., saying she "provided false or misleading information on four separate occasions last year" to committee queries.
Staff of the Oversight Committee questioned Lerner and other IRS officials last year after receiving complaints from Ohio tea party groups that they were being mistreated by the IRS, said Meghan Snyder, spokesman for Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a member of the committee.
In responses to the committee, Lerner didn't mention that tea party groups had ever been targeted, according to documents. Her responses included 45-page letters in May 2012 to Issa and Jordan.

Why College Radio Day?
The aim of College Radio Day is to raise a greater, international awareness of the many college and high school radio stations that operate in the USA by encouraging people who would not normally listen to college radio to do so on this day. It is hoped that those people who do tune in like what they hear and become regular listeners. The organizers of College Radio Day believe that college radio is one of the last remaining bastions of creative radio programming, free from the constrictions of having to be commercially viable, and a place where those involved in its programming believe passionately in its mission. College radio is the only free live medium brave enough to play unsigned, local, and independent artists on a regular basis. Indeed, many famous and successful bands today, owe their initial break to being played on college radio. Put simply, college radio is an important part of the media landscape because of its unique and fearless programming.
The organizers also hope that College Radio Day can also be used a fundraising vehicle for those individual stations that choose to participate, benefiting from the extra attention their station will receive on that particular day. Being a participant in this day is free for all college and high school radio stations (AM, FM or online) so that together, for one day, we can lift the profile of an important form of media: college radio. It's a day of celebration. It's a day of live music and special interviews. It's the day college radio comes together.

Anchormen Head to NCAAs for Seventh Straight Season Led by Head Coach Bob Walsh, the Rhode Island College men's basketball team posted another highly successful season en route to their seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, while earning a bevy of accomplishments along the way. After registering another 20-win season in 2011-2012, RIC faced the possibility of going through a rebuilding year, especially after losing seniors Mike Akinrola and Mason Choice, two All-LEC performers. Yet, led by the likes of senior guard Tahrike Carter (see page 2) and sophomore forward Chris Burton, the Anchormen countered with one of the best seasons in program history, as the team notched its seventh consecutive 20-win campaign and tied the program record for single-season conference victories. After opening the season with an exhibition contest at Division I Providence College on Nov. 3, in which the Anchormen held a 25-24 lead at halftime, RIC opened the regular season with seven straight victories. The early-season run was highlighted by a 68-44 thrashing of then-No. 1 MIT at The Murray Center on Nov. 29. Following a pair of losses in early December to Eastern Connecticut and WPI, the resilient Anchormen quickly rebounded with nine straight victories through the end of December and into January, including a thrilling 58-55 win at home against LEC rival Keene State. After finally slipping against eventual National Champion Amherst in late January, the Anchormen bounced back with six straight victories to close out the regular season with a 22-3 record overall. RIC entered the LEC Tournament as the No. 1 seed and quickly dispatched eighth-seeded UMass Dartmouth, 62-58, in the First Round to earn homecourt advantage through the remainder of the tournament. The Anchormen followed with a 61-47 ...

TIME study mirrors Late TIME trial in confirming autologous stem cells obtained from bone marrow are safe but do not further improve the recovery of heart function following a heart attack MINNEAPOLIS, MN – November 6, 2012 – Administering autologous stem cells obtained from bone marrow either 3 or 7 days following a heart attack did not improve heart function six months later, reports a new clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health. The results of this trial, called TIME (Transplantation In Myocardial Infarction Evaluation), were presented by Jay Traverse, MD of the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation Tuesday, Nov. 6, at the 2012 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association in Los Angeles. The results of this trial mirror a previous, related study (LateTIME) which found that autologous bone marrow stem cell therapy given 2-3 weeks after a heart attack did not improve cardiac recovery. Both TIME and LateTIME were carried out by the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN), sponsored by the NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. "The data presented by TIME do much to advance stem cell therapy research," said Jay Traverse, MD of the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation and Principal Investigator of this study. "While this study did not provide a demonstrated cardiac benefit after six months, we still learned a great deal. Together, TIME and Late TIME have shown that stem cell therapy is safe, and they have set a baseline in terms of quantity of stem cells, type of stem cells, and severity of heart attack." TIME enrolled 120 volunteers (avg. age 57) between July 2008 and February 2011; the participants all had moderate to severe impairment in their left ventricle and had undergone coronary stent placement as treatment for the heart attack. The participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: day 3 stem cell, day 3 placebo (inactive cells), day 7 stem cell, or day 7 placebo. The CCTRN researchers developed a method of processing and purifying the stem cells from the bone marrow of each volunteer to ensure everyone received a uniform dose (150 million stem cells)...

Going into Bears versus Texans, many thought the most important game within the game was the Bears offensive line against the Texans' pass rush.
Well, a review of the tape shows the Bears won that battle convincingly but still lost the war.
Give offensive coordinator Mike Tice credit for taking defensive player of the year favorite J.J. Watt out of the game. And give the Bears' offensive linemen credit for holding down the Texans' talented speed rushers — Connor Barwin, Brooks Reed and Whitney Mercilus.
Tice was determined not to let Watt beat the Bears. Watt appeared to be assigned two blockers on 31 of the Bears' 37 called passes.
And it's not like the Bears were merely chipping him with a running back or a tight end. Most of the time (70 percent), they were sliding protection Watt's way and throwing more than 600 pounds of beef in his path. They even used 318-pound tackle Jonathan Scott as a tight end against Watt in a couple of situations that were not short-yardage.
Watt ended up with one quarterback hit.
Double teams also were a part of the Bears' run game. Their most effective runs were keyed by a Gabe Carimi-Lance Louis combo block. And the Bears seemed to be intentionally running away from Watt.
On the subject of Carimi and Louis, it was interesting that the Texans apparently liked the matchup of Watt against J'Marcus Webb and/or Chilo Rachal on the right side of the defense.
Coming into the game, Watt had taken close to 90 percent of his snaps on the left side, but in this game he took only 63 percent on the left side.
Here is what else we learned upon further review.
Grading key: Grades are between 0 and 10 with 0 being complete failure and 10 being perfect.
Offensive line
Grade: 6
The run blocking was mediocre, but the Texans have an outstanding defensive front. That being considered, this was one of the offensive line's best performances of the season.
Carimi was called for a costly hold on the Bears' last drive but otherwise played pretty well. That was one of three penalties against the line.
Tight ends
Grade: 1
The Bears threw five passes to Kellen Davis, and the Texans probably were hoping for many more.
He caught only one of the passes and promptly fumbled. On another, he was knocked off his route, which led to an interception. He dropped two others he should have caught. And on another, he slipped coming out of his break, which nearly led to an additional interception.
