Babcock Underperforming?
Posted 31 March 2011 - 11:19 AM
I'll say this, he is no doubt a good coach and I want him behind our bench. However this year, I haven't been impressed. I don't think this team this year has found a true identity. I don't think this team plays as a cohesive unit most nights. IMO, we've gotton this high in the standings by riding one hot player to the next, but never all together. I believe he's been out coached in a few games. I believe that he's spent too much time juggling lines/players to get other players going to the detriment of winning consistently (Hudler, Madano, Fil). I realize in cases he is tyring to accomodate for injuries, but as far as injuries go we've actually had it fairly good this year. At this point in the season he should have his 2-3 entire team line combo's for the playoffs pretty much decided...I don't think he has a clue if the playoffs were to start tomorrow. McCrimmon is horrible...or at least our D has been horrible and that's his responsibility (Lids, Raffi, Stewy, and Kronner...most teams would give their left arm to have a top four like this??). On paper I believe we have the best team in the NHL (on PAPER!). His job is to get the most out of his players, which with Wings pool of talent should translate into winning/domination for the majority. The job is not getting done and I believe Babs is underperforming and I'll be very interested to watch him as these playoff's start.
Okay right or wrong I've given a lot of opions above. What's your opinion of Babs coaching job this year?

Babcock was interviewed briefly by Pierre LeBrun this morning for the Daily Debate.
I got a question in my chat yesterday from a Wings fan whose handle was "Panicky," and that was before last night's debacle. If I were the Red Wings, though, a veteran and savvy team, I would just chalk it up as a stinker and move on.
"That's what I'm going to do,'' Babcock told me this morning. "But the great thing about this game is reality: you are what you are, and you are what you are every single day. The bottom line is that yesterday we weren't good enough. The coaches, whatever we did, wasn't good enough. The players, whatever they did, wasn't good enough.
"You can stand in the right spots all you want on the ice, but you have to out-compete the other team and we never did. From the goaltenders to the D to the forwards to the coaching staff, we were poor. Those are the facts."
Listen, the Red Wings would definitely rather be on a roll heading into the playoffs than doing this. But if you eliminate last night's game and focus on the other losses, you'll see a hard-fought 2-1 loss to Vancouver, a tough overtime loss to Chicago and a shootout loss to Pittsburgh. They played well in those games.
But my big-picture concern is with the team's overall defensive play. The Wings are 21st in the league in goals against per game. Last season, they were seventh. Now, a lot of this has to do with all the injuries they've had again this season, no question, but still ...
"It hasn't been good," Babcock said of his team's overall defensively play. "I thought it was real good early in the season, then I thought we were taped together [injuries] for a long time. There's lot of things that go into a year. But to be honest with you, I think we know how to play. We've played enough good games that we know how to play. Our focus wasn't there last night, but I liked our focus in a number of games recently before that. I thought we had played pretty darn good even if we didn't get the results."
Datsyuk and Howard are on the mend and should be back this weekend, Babcock said. The Wings play at Nashville on Saturday and host Minnesota on Sunday. Time to get the train back on track.

For what it's worth, Hodgemail over at TSN asks who might win coach of the year...Babcock gets a mention as a potential (probably a lot in part due to injuries though).

-numerous injuries to key players throughout the season,
-a starting goalie who struggled most of the year (and then an injured backup goalie who was playing well to compensate before going down)
-and the pressure of all the expectations in Detroit while every other team is gunning for you.
I think he's doing fine. It's been an odd season in some ways. The lines haven't had much luck gelling after Modano went down and Flip once again struggled to find offensive consistency as a full-time 2nd line center. Add injuries to Datsyuk here and there and generally it's safe to say you've got struggles up front. I think he's done pretty well with the cards he's been dealt though. If Modano hadn't been out so long, I think the offense would seem a lot more "united" as he's supposed to be the guy anchoring the 3rd line. Even if Flip struggled, having Modano as a sure fire 3rd line guy made it a lot easier to experiment with Flip on a wing seeing as we still would have Dats and Z who could center the top 2 lines if necessary.
And it's not like we've really struggled to score goals. The only reason we have the record we do is because we score a lot of goals this year as there were about 3 months where it was all but a given that Howard was going to give up 4 goals. When your starting goalie is young and slipping, it's tough on a team, and it's all the harder when your other move (Osgood) actually starts working out only to succumb to a long term injury. But we still found a way to fight through it and win games and stay near the top of the standings.
So long as Datsyuk's not hurting heading into the playoffs and Howard continues to improve and keep it steady when the pressure's on, I think the team is in good shape heading into the post-season. They've got a lot of room to elevate their game, and sometimes it's better to be in that position than to head into the playoffs on cruise control after an easy regular season ride.
I think success in the Playoffs will boil down to 2-3 things that are almost entirely out of Babcocks control:
1) the health of Datsyuk
2) the goaltending (will Howard struggle again? If he does, could Osgood possibly be ready at all?)
3) the inevitable injuries that will creep up on guys in the post-season
The rest I think will work out fine.

Well tell that to the Canucks then, because there still playing hard every night
Wait until the playoffs before you start analyzing the coach. As I've said in other discussions, this is the problem when 16 teams make the playoffs. All the attention in the last couple months is on who makes the last 2 playoffs spots. There's no motivation for the best teams to play , they're just killing time for the playoffs.

They certainly are on a mission, however that could come back to bite them in the ass. 6/7/8 seeds are not nearly the scrubs 6/7/8 seeds used to be. I especially wouldn't want to face Nashville or Chicago if I was Van. However I feel confident we would crush Chi if we played them

That's really my only gripe with him and I'm just gonna assume he will tighten it up for the playoffs. Hey... if the players can 'flip a switch', why can't Babs?

I think they play better when he cant match lines (on the road). homer, hudler, and bert are the only really glaring defensive liabilities we should have at forward. Sure hasnt seemed that way though.
I have noticed that Babcock seems to be having a hard time with line match-ups lately. I know Datsyuk being out makes it harder for him to match against other teams consistently, but he's still been getting owned in that department lately. At least from my perspective. Even at home, with the advantage, he seems to be struggling.

true because they haven't done much in the playoffs the last couple of seasons. this will likely change this year.

Ummmmm... aside from losing in the Finals about an era ago, they haven't really done squat in the playoffs. It's gone on a little longer than "the last couple seasons", but yea, maybe they will finally make a splash this season.
I don't know who is in worse shape going in... us for having Howard as our starter or you for having Luongo. Guess we will see.

Former Seneca Nation president Robert Odawi Porter has taken a new job as senior counsel with a prominent Washington, D.C., law firm.
Porter, a Harvard University Law School graduate who completed his two-year term as Seneca president in November, has joined SNR Denton, the law firm announced Wednesday.
Porter will join the firm's Native American Law and Policy practice.
"As a former tribal leader and tribal lawyer, I have fought my whole career for tribal sovereignty and treaty rights, and [I] look forward to offering a unique new dimension to the firm's Indian law practice," Porter said in a statement released by the firm.
After a hard-fought election campaign for the position of Seneca Nation treasurer, Porter was defeated by his brother-in-law, Rodney Pierce, last Nov. 6.
Seneca Nation laws prevent anyone from serving two consecutive terms as president.

Jennifer Lawrence's (Coolest) Fan, Jack Nicholson, Crashes Her Interview
The shocked look on the Hollywood darling's face when she won the Best Actress statuette during Sunday's 85th Annual Academy Awards may have been topped with the look she gave when approached by Jack Nicholson, shortly after the show.
"Oh, you've got a fan here," Good Morning America host, George Stephanopoulos, pointed out as Nicholson, 75, crept behind the newly minted Oscar winner, 22.
"Such a beautiful job," the actor told a gasping Lawrence. "I know I'm crashing your interview."
After Nicholson walks away, Lawrence throws her head in her hands, shouting, "Oh my God!" in between giggles.
As her new pal walks away for good, Lawrence gets a greeting across the room from fellow A-Lister, Jennifer Garner.
"This is my life now," joked Lawrence with a laugh. "Hey Jack, hey Jennifer. How are you?"

A Williamsport man who chased houseguests with an axe on New Year's Eve 2010 was sentenced to state prison time on Thursday.
Lane M. Johnson, 43, will go to state prison for 44 to 88 months - minus credit for over a year served in Lycoming County Prison - on two counts of aggravated assault stemming from the Dec. 31, 2010, incident at his 1213 Memorial Ave. home.
Four people in addition to Johnson were in the home for a card game when Johnson picked up an axe and started swinging. He struck his door several times while a neighbor couple escaped, then went upstairs to a bedroom where he swung the axe at a couple resting there, before he was subdued.
When they responded to the call, city police found a distraught woman screaming, with her arms and hands covered in blood.
During his sentencing hearing, Judge Nancy Butts asked Johnson about that blood.
"That was my blood," Johnson said. "She beat me with, like, a fifth bottle of liquor - it ruptured my eardrum and split my head open for what I did to them, I don't mind."
Police found Johnson shouting obscenties and held down on a bed by one guest. Johnson was clutching a double-edged axe and was intoxicated.
"I still don't remember anything," he said. "I most assuredly told them to go home - then I threatened them."
Sam McHenry, a cellmate of Johnson's in Lycoming County Prison for a time, offered words of support during sentencing.
"We became good friends in a bad way," McHenry said. "He helped me out with a lot of things We're total strangers, and I'm supporting him - something tells me to support the guy."
"I've never had (a cellmate come in) in my years here," Public Defender Nicole Spring said. "(McHenry) was seeking me out to know when (Johnson) was having his second sentencing ... it's unusual for someone who is 42 years old on an attempted murder charge to come in with priors of bad checks and a pending DUI."
Spring asked Butts to impose a sentence on only one count of aggravated assault.
"I don't think there's overwhelming benefits of locking a person up and throwing away the key," Butts said. "But we can't overlook that there was more than one victim in this case this sort of behavior isn't going to be accepted by the community.
"You know that from Jan. 1, 2011, until the day you die, you can never touch alcohol again," Butts told Johnson.

State's hooked on gambling
April 9, 2013
It's a little late to be worrying about the spilled milk, don't you think? Perhaps we ought to focus on not spilling any more of i....
WV has always been a sick sick state with lousy paying jobs with no advancement opportunities for everyone to better themselves financially....WHY? Because it's always run by incompetent, greedy, self-absorbed, arrogant and uncaring liberal democrats. They only care about one thing: their bank accounts and power/control over the citizens they intentionally keep impoverished and needful of welfare!!!
It is way past time for voters in WV to FIRE these clowns and never again allow them into our state government!

If the seat belt were an option, we would give it away for free. This is simply because the three-point safety belt is the single most effective protection system we can provide: a firm and reliable restraint system that keeps the human body in place when the truck's speed is suddenly reduced or when the vehicle rolls over.
The three-point seat belt is fitted as standard to both driver and passenger seats in all Volvo trucks.

Thursday, February 14, 2013
Flowertown Garden Club member, both past and present, gathered Monday at The Atrium at St. Paul's Church to celebrate the club's 60th anniversary.
Club President Vicki Burtt welcomed the members and guests. The invocation was given by Rev. John Scott, assistant rector of St. Paul's.
Among the guests were many past presidents of the club.
Jan Martin, Chairman of the 60th Anniversary Committee delivered a brief history and highlighted some of the accomplishments of the club including the creation of the Blue Star Memorial garden at the intersection of Bacons Bridge Road, West Carolina and Trolley Road, and the town's annual Treelighting Ceremony.
The tea also featured the reading of congratulatory correspondence from Sen. Sean Bennett. A letter from Gov. Nicki Haley arrived shortly after the tea so was not read at the tea but will be shared with members at the club's next meeting.
Also arriving after the tea was a letter from Queen Elizabeth written at her direction by Lady-in-Waiting Mary Morrison. The club recently designed several flower arrangements and sent photos of the flowers to be included in a book of flower arrangements to be presented to the Queen in celebration of her 60th jubilee. The Flowertown Garden Club's participation was all part of a friendly challenge issued by Burtt's sister, who lives in England and is a member of the flower committee for the chapel in Dulwich, England.
Also present at Monday's tea to help celebrate and offer her congratulations to the club was Maida Dantzler, president of the Garden Club of South Carolina.
Mayor and Mrs. Bill Collins attended with the Mayor reading a poem and telling the members how important the club has been to the culture and beauty of Summerville.
Maureen Minner received a certificate for the Civic Beautification Project to spruce up the front of the Cuthbert Community Center, a project she chaired in cooperation with the town.
Closing remarks were made by committee member Lynn Harrison.

I want to congratulate those people of Wisconsin who took
the trouble to vote in yesterday's election. Television crews
covering the primary showed the snow and ice in the background of many campaign and voting sites. But the
turnout in Wisconsin -- particularly compared to some other states that have held primaries -- was impressive. New reports this morning noted that there was apparently
a fair amount of "cross-over" voting; for example, the normally conservative Republican suburbs north and east of Milwaukee voted heavily for Edwards. That, too, makes the
Wisconsin Primary interesting. I lived for a number of years in Whitefish Bay and I know the political leanings of the foks
in that part of Wisconsin. I seriously doubt that they intend
to vote for Edwards if he is nominated as the Democratic standard bearer. But that's all right. That's Wisconsin. And, if nothing else, it shows political engagement. This country needs much more of that spirit.

Which items should you buy in October, and which sales should you keep waiting for? Take a look at DealNews.com's list of good and bad October buys to help you find this month's best deals.
First, here are the items you should plan to snatch up.
Halloween costumes: While you'll undoubtedly find the best sales in November, by then it will be an entire year before you get to wear that Halloween costume. Buy costumes the week before Halloween for the biggest October price cuts, and be sure to look for both sales and coupons.
Denim: This is the time of year that stores are trying to get rid of the jeans they didn't sell during back-to-school season. (Black Friday is also a good time to buy jeans, though.)
Cars: New models usually come out in September, so at this point, dealers tend to offer deals to get older models off their lots.
Camping gear: October is a great time for deals on things like tents, hiking gear and other end-of-season camping equipment. DealNews does caution that similar sales may be available in November, but are more frequent in October and come with less strings attached.
Patio furniture: With retailers desperately seeking to clear out their inventory, there can be plenty of good deals found if you want to stock up on some new additions to your patio, even if you won't get a chance to use it right away.
European vacations: October can be a good time to book European travel because this month is the start of the continent's off-season. As a result, travelers can expect cheaper rooms, fewer lines and less crowds.
Here's what DealNews suggests you should wait to buy.
Cold weather wear: You'll find the best deals on cold weather clothes and accessories in January. If you absolutely need something before then, try to wait until Black Friday sales.
Big appliances: While it's true that new models of washers, dryers, fridges and other appliances tend to hit stores in September and October, manufacturers don't usually offer many discounts until November.
Laptops and general electronics: Eying a new laptop, camera, tablet or perhaps some home theater gear? Wait for Black Friday, when you're much more likely to find better deals.
HDTVs: As usual, DealNews notes that the best time of the year, by far, to purchase a new HDTV is around Black Friday. However, this year that advice comes with an exception: 55-inch 1080p LCD HDTVs. DealNews says it noticed last last year that those sets didn't actually drop much in price, with retailers pretty much discounting them as much as they're willing to already. If you're in the market for something smaller, though, you're better off waiting till Thanksgiving time.
Most Apple devices: DealNews notes that last year saw Black Friday retailers offer sales on Apple products such as the MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone and iMac. This holiday season is expected to be more of the same, including potentially great deals on the 11-inch MacBook Air and the iPad Air 2.
Video games: With big titles like "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" and "Halo 5: Guardians" being released over the last two weeks of October this year, deals are going to be harder to come by. That should change in November, as DealNews points out that's when sales can be found on late-2015 video game releases.

So Bad It's Good – The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
This week's 'So Bad It's Good' is a film so very awful, its awesome: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. If you are not familiar with this gem, please allow me to illuminate you. Made in 1984, this film stars Peter Weller (Robocop) as a neurosurgeon/ particle physicist named Buckaroo Banzai who, along with his scientist rock band, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, saves the world from aliens.

With summer finally getting closer to be finished and training camp about to start, I think it might be an interesting topic to discuss the new/old enemies and why some here (don't) fear them. For me there are two teams I really fear, because they are by far the toughest SOBs in the NHL.
1. Toronto Maple Leafs Maybe their playoffseason was a fluke, maybe not but in terms of grit and toughness this team is going to be a hell to play against. With the edition of Clarkson and Bolland Leafs have gained even more size and Carlyle has a bunch of options to play his matchup games against Detroit. They can role their skilled players, form a checking line or even send the energy line (Orr MacLaren!) out against the Wings. Over the course of a full season, checking everything that moves will leave a big toll on some of the older players and the skill might dimish even further. At least their goaltending and defense aren't that good so that should be a chance for the Wings but if the games are going out of hand, I really fear for our young guns and star players, Orr is going to have some fun for sure...
2. Boston Bruins Skilled, young, tough and elite goaltending. Finding a way to beat this team is not going to be an easy task and I really hope Babcock has some tricks under his sleeve. Detroit can't outskill them like the Hawks did, they can't outtough them either so the best bet would trying to make Chara tired and force him to play against Datsyuk and Zetterberg as often as possible. I know there are teams like the Penguins but as long as they aren't dressing MacIntyre I don't fear them at all, they might beat the Wings with their skill game but Pittsburgh isn't that tough and thanks god the careerkiller known as Cooke has been dealt.

Collet and nut-style toolholders don't have many components, but each one should be checked carefully for signs of wear or damage.
Although it's only five pages long, Techniks' new Toolholder Care and Maintenance Guide packs a lot of good info about collet and nut-style toolholders. Clearly written and well illustrated, the guide should be recommended reading for both new and experienced operators. For example, the guide shows what fretting on a toolholder and scoring on a collet look like, so these signs can be detected in time to prevent trouble. You can download the guide here.
Some of the "recommendations" in the guide draw attention to Techniks' own products, but there is no intrusive "salesiness" to detract from the well-presented technical content. I'm going to keep my printout of the guide handy to use as reference when I want to check basic toolholder terminology and concepts.
Techniks is a manufacturer of toolholders and accessories such as nuts, collets, retention knobs and many other toolholder and workholding products.

I've had at least 2 suggestions that have said the version II delay has been to dump excess stock of the version 1. How plausible is that? I don't know.
Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L @ B&H for $1579
There has been no mention of another delay for the version II. It's still slated to start shipping in July. You can still preorder it at B&H for $2299. Do not expect any sort of price drop on the version II for quite some time.
I guess that's one way to force you to buy the more expensive of the 2 lenses... but it was inevitable.

5 Tips for Fixing America's Schools (From a Former Teacher)
Maybe you've heard how Chicago's school system almost imploded in a bluesy, hot-dog-stuffed cacophony of Windy City stereotypes. Or maybe you haven't heard about the Chicago Teachers Union drama because you don't get NPR in your town. Or you don't care because you live on an island populated with calculator/kid hybrids called kidkulators and public education doesn't matter to you. Kudos. For the rest of us, the public school world is a scary place. Parents are sending their kids into charter schools, taking their children's education into their own hands at home and throwing their babies into rooms full of protractors and decades-old Got Milk? cafeteria posters, hoping for the best. The desperation is as palpable as the Holy Spirit at a Billy Graham convention.
I spent two whole years "teaching" kindergarten, then five more sleeping in and homeschooling my eight kids. The only person more qualified to talk about the state of American education is ol' John Dewey himself. Ha ha, that's an educator joke. Here are five super legit ways to fix America's schools.
#5. Academic Fight Club
Remember back in the 1980s when Japanese domination in the classroom led to theoretical discussions of our nuclear options? In fact, there were two weeks in 1989 when three different legislators proposed math-themed internment camps for school-aged Americans of non-Japanese heritage. All three were thankfully defeated in the House by 11 to "What's Russia Up to These Days?"
"The Cold War isn't over, it's lukewarm."
The point was that we went bananas over the idea of Japanese academic superiority. Was it warranted? No. Look at Japan now, all on the brink of war with China and stuff. But we did learn one thing that the Japanese school system had going for it -- the way of the samurai, which allowed children to die for their education. Sometimes those deaths took place in the form of stress-induced suicides, and sometimes they were more about honor battles with Macchios.
Proposal: The United States replaces the current mandy-pandy public education system with a rigorous academic fighting establishment.
Allow me to explain. Children thrive on competition. It's a known fact that twins often eat each other in the womb, not only taking on the strength of their other but warning their mother about what's what -- from the inside. And even non-twins are known to divert their mother's resources for their own nourishment. Why not take that fierce competitive spirit and nurture it? Why not breed a nation of fetii who have a hunger for for both their mother's blood and the (academic) blood of others?
I know what you're thinking: But Kristi Mae, what would we do with the bodies? Here's my answer to you: purses. Just kidding! We're not going to use the flayed skin of human children to make top-of-the-line handbags worthy of the Kardashian Kollection. Here's what I and specifically Cracked.com and all its staff and advertisers propose:
Militarize the classroom. The average kindergarten classroom looks something like this:
It's like the classroom found a sponsor, and that sponsor was ADHD. What if instead of Pee-Wee's Playhouse up there, we sent kids to this:
Look closely. Can you spot the differences? Let the kids sit on the floor in order to harden their loins. Let the bare walls be a canvas for their imagination. Let the canings help them remember their times tables.
Next, we divide students into teams based on intelligence. We could use IQ tests, or we could show them pictures of the Willy Wonka meme and see who laughs. No need to overthink things. Then we subdivide intelligent teams into more intelligent teams. Actually, most classrooms already do this, but they call it "reading groups." We would just be giving those higher-up teams guns and the dumb teams passports.
Finally, we turn off the lights and see what happens. See? I told you we weren't going to turn children into purses.
#4. Capes
Every student in America should be issued a cape. Not just a cape for flying and invisibility and starting drama, but a cape that has pockets for calculators or thumbnail drivers. Imagine a world where American youth can access their guns from the capes on their backs. We talk a big game about giving our youth the very best, yet you rarely see capes on back-to-school shopping lists. What are you afraid of, teachers? That your students will fly away when they get bored? Then don't bore them.
Plus, think about what capes would do for the self-esteem of American students. It's a known fact that 110 percent of American kids already think they're the bee's knees. Stick a cape on them and their egos will go through the roof. "Oh, I live in the greatest country on the planet and I also dress like a superhero. Let's get a second helping of that, guvna." Maybe you don't think students need more of an ego boost. I disagree. I've seen how far overconfidence can take one. History fact: In 1961, JFK promised he'd get an American on the moon by the end of the decade. The only reason he felt confident enough to make such an audacious promise was because he was a stone cold fox. Do you think Lumpy Abe could have gotten us to the moon?
Get real. If the sport of yachting had a face, it would be JFK's. That's what gave him the confidence to make a promise he had no business promising, and then the beauty of his face made it so. We don't have the technology to sew a mask of John F. Kennedy to every girl and boy's face yet, but we do have the technology to make capes that we buy from China. And those capes will give our children confidence.
Let's take Precious, for example. Personally, I never saw that movie because it made me mad that I couldn't call anyone "Precious" anymore without the comment being construed as a burn on their weight. But I know the movie is about a girl who slipped through the cracks. And that it was based on the novel Push by Sapphire. And that she had bangs. Do you think Precious' parents would have abused her if she were wearing a cape? Actually, let's drop that one. Hogwarts kids are good at school and they wear capes.
The boom you just heard was my mic hitting the stage.
#3. Less Homework, More Gnomework
Real talk: One of the first things every would-be teacher is asked to do is write out a philosophy of education -- a simple paragraph explaining how they view their role in the classroom. As if anyone coming out of teacher school knows what they're in for. It's not until you actually get into the classroom that you realize that 95 percent of your education program was about B.F. Skinner and you don't know how to teach jack. As a new teacher, my philosophy of education was "Let me teach your kids and I'll do them real good." Then I "accidentally" left the middle button of my blouse undone at my interview. Boom -- I had a kindergarten classroom.
By the time I started homeschooling, I adopted a more traditional classical education approach. But I could have chosen a different path. For example, unschooling -- the one where you let your kids do whatever the crap they want as long as they don't eat two magnets at once. Or the Montessori Method -- a philosophy where you let children learn by playing with toys. Or the Dangerous Minds method, which isn't so much a philosophy of education as it is a lifestyle for women who love leather blazers. Or, best of all, the Waldorf Method, which is all fairies all the time.
Double real talk: I misrepresented every single one of those philosophies of education. Sometimes I lose battles with my imagination, but it's OK, because whenever someone calls me out, I play like Juliette Lewis in that music video when she was crazy. Everyone's so enamored with my hipbones, they don't mind that I lied to them.
All of the above examples illustrate the power of imagination and how crucial it is to win the war on stupid. Remember that time when I said we should institute an Academic Fight Club where the losers are not made into purses for the Kardashian Kollection? That was a thought experiment -- me using my imagination to invent a terrible idea. We can use that same creative fuel to solve math problems and science. Or better yet, not. Maybe instead of history, we should teach herhistory. Instead of grammar, gramma's cookie recipes. Maybe if our kids weren't so freaked out about standardized tests, they would enjoy school every now and then. And most importantly, they'd appreciate this huge book I wrote on gnome lore for every girl and boy. Buy it on Amazon today!

Genex Releases Genomic MAP Program
Genex Releases Genomic MAP Program
A new Genex Cooperative, Inc. program can determine the best mating option for a cow or heifer based on the animal's genomic PTAs (GPTAs) rather than phenotypic scores, performance, parent averages or pedigree indexes. This genomic mating program, G-MAP, is the newest technology available in the genomic revolution.
"With the introduction of G-MAP producers are able to put their genomic data to use," explains Diane Schnell, education and program support manager. "Genex has been the leader in the genomic era from the start, and this practical application for female genomic evaluations is the next step in assisting our members and customers improve their herds' genetic levels and therefore on-farm profitability."
G-MAP, to be released April 1, will be available to any dairy producer with genomic test results (3K or 50K) on their cow(s) and/or heifer(s). G-MAP can provide mating recommendations for an individual genomic-tested animal, a group of genomic-tested animals or a whole herd with GPTAs.
G-MAP has all the convenience and features of the traditional Genex MAP program. The mating focus can be customized to meet each producer's breeding goals. Inbreeding and lethal recessives continue to be controlled. Mating recommendations are available via e-mail, the Web or paper. Mating recommendations can easily be imported into dairy management software. Producers can divide animals into various groups for specific breeding strategies and mate each group to different sires accordingly.
For pricing information or to receive the new G-MAP mating recommendations, contact your local Genex representative.
Genex is a subsidiary of Cooperative Resources International (CRI), a member-owned holding cooperative. The CRI mission statement summarizes the goal of CRI: "To provide products and services as effectively as possible to maximize the profitability of members and customers worldwide while maintaining a strong cooperative."

"My feeling is that Ben Affleck will be really good simply because he's a great talent," West, 85, told PEOPLE at Comic-Con on Thursday. "And I'd be very interested in seeing him in the role."
West, the original masked hero, says the most thrilling part of playing Batman was the energy behind the script.
"The best part was just the fun and the laughs when you read the material, and you could really feel it coming to life, scene by scene," West says. "And I think for an actor, that part of the day when something really comes alive and begins to work."
The original Batman also shared his appreciation for landing the role.
"[I'm] really a lucky actor because I was able to be part of something that has that kind of longevity that you talk about," he says. "And I think that with each succeeding generation, the kids can watch with their parents or grandparents, and the kids grow up remembering the show well. And they pass it on to their kids."
While Affleck, 41, continues to film in Detroit, DC Comics released a close-up shot of the brooding Batman in the famous black mask at Comic-Con on Thursday.
And when it comes to pulling off the tight-fitting superhero suit?
Says West: "Just make the costume works for you, Ben."

LEWISTOWN - The United Way of Mifflin-Juniata has reached $272,050 of its goal of $600,000 during the campaign that began on Sept. 19 and runs until March 15, 2013.
The MidPenn Legal Services is one of the agencies that benefits from working with the United Way. Regional Manager Brent Frank explains how partnering with the United Way has served the MidPenn Legal Services:
"MidPenn Legal Services is the 'emergency room of the legal profession,' for very low-income families in Central Pennsylvania. Funding from the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata enables MidPenn Legal Services to advocate on behalf of our communities' most vulnerable populations: children, the poor, elderly, the disabled and survivors of domestic violence.
"Local support means MidPenn can dedicate resources to address issues that are important in Mifflin and Juniata counties. More specifically, the United Way funds MidPenn Legal Services' Telephone Advice Project: Help is on the Line.
"This project provides a 'legal safety net' for low-income individuals and families who would otherwise not be able to access legal help. Callers speak directly to a MidPenn attorney who provides legal advice about their situation and information about their options. This can help the caller make decisions that avoid future legal problems or provides direction on how to resolve current legal problem. Callers who require more than legal advice may be referred to another MidPenn Legal Services attorney for further legal assistance."
In addition to funding, the United Way also provides opportunities for organizations like MidPenn Legal Services to gain recognition in the community as well as assisting in the development of collaborative relationships with other United Way funded organizations. United Way claims these collaborations are important in maintaining their holistic approach to serving common client populations, avoiding duplication of services and working for the good of the community.

El Dorado County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 47-year-old South Lake Tahoe man early Thursday morning after allegedly finding about two ounces of methamphetamine during a traffic stop.
Eric James Brown was stopped by a sheriff's deputy after failing to use a turn signal near the intersection of Ponderosa Street and Lodi Avenue about 12:15 a.m. Thursday, said Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Pete Van Arnum.
During the stop the deputy noticed Brown acting suspiciously and saw two bags of suspected methamphetamine on the floor of the passenger side of the vehicle, according to the spokesman. Brown was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale and transportation of a controlled substance.
He was booked into custody at El Dorado County Jail in South Lake Tahoe, where he remained Friday afternoon, according to sheriff's records. It is unknown if Brown has an attorney. His bail amount has been set at $250,000, Van Arnum said.

10 a.m. Tuesday UPDATE: The burn has been canceled, "due to high winds expected Wednesday before the main low pressure system moves in," the Truckee Ranger District announced Tuesday morning.
TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Truckee Ranger District of the U.S. Forest Service plans to perform a 40- to 60-acre burn starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday near Stampede Reservoir, an official said Monday.
The prescribed underburn will take place if weather forecasts and conditions remain favorable, said Linda Ferguson, a fuels specialist with the Truckee Ranger District, in a Monday afternoon press release.
While USFS fuels management personnel work closely with the California Air Resources Board and the local air quality management districts to minimize smoke impacts as a result of the burns, not all smoke can be avoided. At times, smoke will settle into low areas and drainages.
For residents seeking updated prescribed fire information, the Truckee Ranger District has a pre-burn notification email list. To get on it, contact Ferguson at 530-587-3558.

Cataract surgery is performed to treat cataracts. Cataracts can cause blurry vision and increase the glare from lights. If a cataract makes it difficult for you to carry out your normal activities, your doctor may suggest cataract surgery.
When a cataract interferes with the treatment of another eye problem, cataract surgery may be recommended. For example, doctors may recommend cataract surgery if a cataract makes it difficult for your eye doctor to examine the back of your eye to monitor or treat other eye problems such as age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.
In most cases, waiting to have cataract surgery won't harm your eye, so you have time to consider your options. If your vision is still quite good, you may not need cataract surgery for many years, if ever.
When considering cataract surgery, keep these questions in mind:

One of the most incredible American lives of the past century has come to an end.
Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian who spent 47 days lost at sea and two more years as a prisoner of war during World War II, has died at age 97, according to Universal Pictures, which is making a movie of his life.
The Olean, New York, native passed away after a 40-day battle with pneumonia, said the Hollywood Reporter.
Zamperini recently became fast friends with Angelina Jolie, who is directing the Universal movie, Unbroken, based on the best-selling book by Laura Hillenbrand. He recently called Jolie a "human dynamo," and added, "I know she will tell this story in the right way."
"It is a loss impossible to describe," Jolie said in a statement about Zamperini's death. "We are all so grateful for how enriched our lives are for having known him. We will miss him terribly."
In its own statement, the Zamperini Family said: "Having overcome insurmountable odds at every turn in his life, Olympic runner and World War II hero Louis Zamperini has never broken down from a challenge. He recently faced the greatest challenge of his life with a life-threatening case of pneumonia. After a 40-day long battle for his life, he peacefully passed away in the presence of his entire family, leaving behind a legacy that has touched so many lives. His indomitable courage and fighting spirit were never more apparent than in these last days."
A U.S. track star at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Zamperini became a bombardier in WWII and survived 47 days adrift in a lifeboat after crashing his plane in the Pacific. He eventually washed up on a Japanese island and spent the next two years as a prisoner of war.
Universal Pictures said in a statement that Zamperini "peacefully passed away in the presence of his entire family, leaving behind a legacy that has touched so many lives. His indomitable courage and fighting spirit were never more apparent than in these last days."
The studio added: "We are so profoundly sad at this moment, and all of our thoughts and prayers are with the Zamperini family. Louis was truly one of a kind. He lived the most remarkable life, not because of the many unbelievable incidents that marked his near century's worth of years, but because of the spirit with which he faced every one of them."
Unbroken is due in theaters on Christmas Day.

Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a "brilliantly innovative thriller-writer," Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding. The first book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, March Violets introduces readers to Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he'd seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin—until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, March Violets is noir writing at its blackest and best.
"Echoes of Raymond Chandler but better on his vivid and well-researched detail than the master." —Evening Standard
"Taut, brutal, coarse, believable and gripping stuff." —Sunday Telegraph
"Kerr's complex intrigue allows space for brilliantly provoking political asides." —Sunday Times

A jury has convicted a teenager accused of shooting a Sanford police officer after deliberating for five hours.
Henry Baker, 19, was convicted of attempted second degree murder of a policeman.
Officer Brandon Worrall says he went to an apartment complex in June 2010 to investigate a report of a suspicious person.
He says Henry Baker ran from him, and when he rounded the corner he says Baker fired at him four times.
The third shot broke the officer's rib, passing through his body.
Baker could face life in prison when sentenced.

As people were handing MR groceries and supplies for those affected by Sandy, he was asked several times by regular voters what he would do with FEMA and he ignored them. WTF?? Really?? no backbone at all. Reporters asked as well, no answer.
I would have had TOTAL respect (even though I do not agree) if he would have at least said something like:
"My focus now is to assist with the relief efforts for the people affected and to let FEMA do it's current job. After things settle, and if I am president, yes, I will take a step back and assess FEMA and how the states may be able to better help their citizens".
He said during the primary debates that he thinks FEMA should go away and that the states and private sector should assist with natural disasters.
WOOOOW! I have no respect for people who can't give an informed answer or at the very least say " I am undecided or still pondering" but to IGNORE people who have come out to your location to hand you supplies, seriously???

TEXAS RECORD: Only two top-10 finishes in 15 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard said, "Our 1.5-mile track program has been getting better and better since late last year. That's why I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do this weekend at Texas and keep our momentum going in the right direction. What can you say about Texas that hasn't already been said in regards to how fast it is around that place? We're going to need a good set-up under our Quaker State Chevrolet to get through the turns and great horsepower from ECR engines to be successful."
LOOKING BACK: Menard was all smiles after finishing 10th at Martinsville. "I'll take a top-10 at Martinsville any time," said Menard. "This team was on their game today on pit stops and bouncing back from the middle part of the race. We weren't as good as we were in the beginning, but Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) and the crew did a great job on pit calls and pit stops. They just never gave up and it paid off with another top-10 finish. We will definitely take that and head to Texas."
ETC.: One of the biggest reasons why Menard feels so good about this weekend is because of the car he will be driving. It was last used at Las Vegas where Menard scored a season-best third-place finish. "We have a lot of confident in that car," said Labbe. "Paul really likes it, and we are hoping for the same kind of results as we had at Vegas."
11 DENNY HAMLIN, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 12th, nine points out of the top 10. Lost one spot last week.
TEXAS RECORD: Two wins and nine top-10 finishes including five top-five's in 16 starts. Finished seventh last November.
LOOKING AHEAD: After a very disappointing run at one of his favorite tracks, Hamlin hopes to bounce back this week at Texas. "We really felt good going into Martinsville, but things didn't work out like we expected," said Hamlin. "So we need to rebound this week. Texas is another track that has been real good to us so we have high hopes this weekend, too. Maybe this will be the weekend we get that first win (of the season)."
LOOKING BACK: On Friday, Hamlin said he was confident he was going to win the Martinsville race. But on Sunday, he struggled with an ill-handling race car as he finished 19th. "Set-up wise, we really could have used Saturday (when both practice sessions were rained out)," said Hamlin. "Thinking that as fast as we were on Friday that it probably would play into our advantage not having practice on Saturday, but there was a laundry list of things that we needed to try and didn't get to do it. This car and setup that we had was really good for 10 laps, but it just went away too much after that. We were a football field and then some away from the right setup today."
ETC.: Hamlin was very upset with all of the rumors floating around after he was forced to miss the California race because of a piece of mental in his left eye. "People who think negatively of me or think that we side-stepped some sort of drug test or something is ridiculous," said Hamlin. "I'm in one of the top-three cars in NASCAR, I would have to be an absolute moron to risk that. Because I'm out there a little bit more people think I go out and party. I worked too hard to get here to throw it all away. It bothers me that my character is being questioned."
55 BRIAN VICKERS, Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th, nine points out of the top 10.
TEXAS RECORD: Finished a career-best eighth at the 1.5-mile track in the spring race a year ago.
LOOKING AHEAD: Crew chief Billy Scott feels Vickers should be much higher in the point standings. "We have run well this season, just haven't got the results so far that we expect. We've scored the 13th most points, but we feel we should be much higher. While it's disappointing it's better to know you have run well and had speed than it would be to run badly and get a lucky finish. We have high hopes for this weekend."
LOOKING BACK: Vickers seemed headed for another top-10 finish at Martinsville when his car suddenly began battling "wheel chatter" during the closing laps of the race. As a result, Vickers finished 16th. "A very disappointing finish considering how we ran - we should have been better than that," said Vickers. "The guys did a great job in the pits all day. The Aaron's Dream Machine was really good on the long runs and good on the mid-runs. We would push a little bit on restarts. We just went too far there at the end and it got way too loose. It's a shame because we had a good car."
ETC.: Scott is only six races into his career as a crew chief. "It's been really good so far," said Scott. "The racing aspect has been about what I expected. I've learned to be more involved in the preparation of the cars ahead of time, but we have had some really good systems set up in place here at Michael Waltrip Racing. There's more to the job on the non-racing side than I was aware of. There's things I didn't know people would come to ask me about. Like what shirts are we supposed to wear or passing out itineraries, some of the logistical questions."
9 MARCOS AMBROSE, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 14th, 12 points out of the top 10. Gained six spots last week.
TEXAS RECORD: Only one top-10 finish in 11 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Ambrose said, "Winning solves a lot of problems doesn't it. That is my mindset on the 9 team. If we win a race, we are close to locking ourselves in (to the Chase) and our year is changed. That is absolutely our focus. We made a decision at Martinsville after we got rained out on Saturday to stay aggressive and try some stuff we hadn't tested on Friday and it paid off for us. That is what we will keep doing."
LOOKING BACK: Despite racing with a heavy heart after the death of Lynda Petty, Richard's wife, earlier in the week, Ambrose was able to lead 22 laps as he finished a season-matching best of fifth at Martinsville. "We've had a really tough week," said Ambrose. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Petty family right now. We really wanted to win for them bad out there, but we'll take a top-five. I'm really proud of my team."
ETC.: With teammate Aric Almirola finishing eighth at Martinsville, it marked only the fourth time that the RPM duo had finished in the top 10 on the same day but the second time in three races. Almirola finished third at Bristol, while Ambrose ended up fifth. "We spent a lot of money and a lot of effort in getting Richard Petty Motorsports back on the map and I think you're seeing the results," said Ambrose. "We've been fast for about four weeks in a row, and we're just starting to hit our stride. We're going to win one of these (races) soon and lock ourselves in the Chase."
