Thanks to all who came out to last night's Summer Party on the High Line presented by Coach.
The event brought together the High Line and Coach – two iconic New York institutions that represent the creative energy of the city – to celebrate the spirit of summer with a carnival-inspired event. This year's Summer Party featured a fortune teller, boardwalk games, carnival prizes from Coach, delicious food and drink at sunset, and dancing into the night with DJ Kiss.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Coach for presenting this event. Thanks to its generous underwriting, 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales are going directly toward the High Line, helping us keep the park clean, the plants beautiful, and the public engaged through free art, tours, talks, and kids activities all year long.
On May 31st the corner of West 18th Street and 10th Avenue received a colorful new addition to the Edison Properties billboard. Untitled is the latest edition on HIGH LINE BILLBOARD, a series of commissions by High Line Art for the large billboard next to the park at West 18th Street. It was installed by acclaimed Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, the artists behind the photography magazine Toilet Paper.
This week we kicked off High Line Live! – our new program series that brings live theater, performance, and music to the park, thanks to the generous support of MetLife Foundation. More than 150 people joined us on Thursday, June 7 for the Hudson Guild Theater Company debut of their new production, The Sleeping Beauty on the High Line, a contemporary dance adaptation of Tchaikovsky's classic The Sleeping Beauty. The performance coincided with the first anniversary of the opening of Section 2, making it an extra special occasion to gather with some of our closest neighbors.
Matthew Westerby choreographed the modern dance piece, which featured dancers of all ages and experience levels – many from our own community. The performance was produced by Jim Furlong, Director of Arts at Hudson Guild, a multi-service community center serving those who live, work, or go to school in Chelsea, with a focus on those in need. The Sleeping Beauty is one of many public programs we've presented at the High Line in partnership with Hudson Guild.
Join us after the jump to see more photos from The Sleeping Beauty on the High Line.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
This week we bid farewell to Sarah Sze's Still Life with Path (Model for Habitat), the intricate sculpture flanking the High Line's pathway at West 21st Street.
"Instead of a daily sales goal, I reversed the normal rules of the game and developed a daily rejection goal. If I wasn't getting rejected, I wasn't trying hard enough. If I got a lot of rejections, I made my goal… Sometimes rejection can be a good teacher, and sometimes you almost need to seek it out to be freed from it."
We are keeping our fingers crossed that the rain and clouds will break for tomorrow's stargazing session on the High Line. If the weather permits, you'll be able to see a rare astronomical event called the Transit of Venus.
At approximately 6:00 PM, the planet Venus will begin to pass directly between the Sun and the Earth. The last Transit of Venus took place in June of 2004, and projections show it won't be visible again until the year 2117!
Learn more after the jump.
Earlier this morning, a three-block portion of the High Line was temporarily closed to allow emergency responders to investigate a small construction accident at a nearby work site. The NYC Fire Department and NYC Department of Buildings have determined that the High Line sustained no damage and the elevated park itself is structurally sound. The City agencies have cleared the closed portion of the park to reopen to the public.
High Line Food is committed to working with entrepreneurial food partners whose products are good for the people eating the food, good for those who grow it, and good for the land. With this core philosophy in mind, we were thrilled when returning food partner L'Arte del Gelato decided to make the switch to locally-sourced milk for their full-range of gelati on offer at the High Line.
This new sustainably-produced New York State milk from Battenkill Valley Creamery is a great addition to their already impressive roster of high quality ingredients.
"Italians know that the secret to good food is to step back and let the ingredients speak for themselves!" L'Arte del Gelato co-founder Francesco Realmuto says. "Using Battenkill Valley Creamery milk for all of our High Line gelati is a great way to showcase delicious local food from right here in New York State."
Learn more about the family farm supplying L'Arte del Gelato's milk after the jump.

text: Thanks to everyone! If you are looking for genealogical books, try Global Genealogy in Canada or Family Roots Publishing in the United States We wish them good luck. These are tough days for genealogical suppliers, even for established ones. (Genealogy Unlimited has been around since 1974, and Interlink Bookshop since 1988.) In the meantime, don't hesitate to check Dave Obee's website , or Cangenealogy for Canadian links, or Volhynia for information on the northwest corner of Ukraine. We sold maps and books to more than a thousand people over the years. Many of them remain good friends. We also spent hours tracking down obscure villages for people, using clues that were inaccurate or inconsistent. Old maps were rarely indexed, so every search took time. We believed the line about "if you can find that village on a map, I will buy it from you," even though it was proven, time and time again, to be one of the classic Great Lies. In one case, we spent five hours tracking down one tiny birthplace. When we found it, the customer decided not to buy the map. It would have cost him $15, and our profit would have been less than a dollar. Five hours of work, for one dollar, and the map was declined. So five hours of work for nothing. We brought in from Europe, on special order, hundreds of maps for people who then decided they didn't want them. (One classic reason: "The map you have is from 1912. My ancestors left in 1911. So your map is useless.") We have recycled dozens already, and many more will go in the next few weeks. Boxes filled with modern atlases have also gone to the shredder. The simple truth is that we have been losing money on map sales for years, but we kept at it. We did that because we honestly believe that you can't do effective genealogical work without knowing about geography. We believed that so strongly that we spent our own money to help strangers. In the end, our efforts were rarely appreciated. Now that we have that out of our system, we'll go back to thinking of the friends we made. The great finds we had that helped serious researchers get past roadblocks. The thrill of success. The people who were so grateful for the work we did. Really, all in all, it's been fun. Thanks for your support over the years. Dixie and Dave |

Are you ready to start investing money in the stock market? Are you interested in finally figuring out the answer to how does the stock market work? If you answered yes to any of those two questions then you need to keep on reading.
[Quick note: If you're ready to start investing, I urge you to sign up with Betterment. You get $25 for free, a 30 day trial period, and a hands-off money management tool to help you make more money than ever before.]
I find that many young people want to start investing in stocks but they just don't know where to start. The only information that filters down to us is what some delusional uncle has to say about getting rich quick by catching the next hot stock pick. We never really learn what the stock market and investing in stocks is all about. Stock market investing tips won't work when you still don't fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Today we'll take a look at the stock market for all college students/recent graduates that want a basic introduction into how it all works.
To add wise words to this post I've added a quote from Warren Buffett at the start of every section. If anyone knows how the stock market works it has to be Mr. Buffett. Let's get started…
What happens when you buy a stock?
"We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a romantic."
When you decide to buy shares in a company you're buying a piece of that company. Buying stocks is interchangeable with buying shares.
The price that you see on the bottom of the page on the news channel is what it costs for one share of stock in the company. As you can tell owning one sharing often won't do you much good.
The value of that share also depends on how many shares that company has issued. This means that low share price isn't always a sign of a hot buy.
Why would a company sell shares? The reason that a business is willing to sell a piece of its ownership is simply to raise money. The company is raising money for other projects or just so that they don't have to be fully self-funded.
Why do investors even buy stocks?
"Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway."
The simplified version of why investors buy stocks is to make money. The assumption with any investment vehicle should be the intention of making a profit. Obviously this isn't the proper response for an introduction to stocks articles. Let me explain how this works.
How does the stock market work when it comes to making money? How do you make money off stocks? There are two ways that investors hope to make money from the stocks that they own:
- Have the stock price increase and sell at a profit. If you buy a stock at $2.00/share your hoping that it will increase past this mark. Day traders hope that the stock price increases quickly. Long-term investors are willing to wait out the typical market swings.
- From dividends. The company pays dividends as a form of profit sharing with share holders. Not all companies do this. You need to find out which companies offer dividends and what the percentage is.
As with every investment you need to be warned that there's absolutely no guarantee that you'll make money from either of the options listed above. There's always the possibility that a market swing can bring the price of a share down or the company can run into some trouble that will cause the price to go down. Anything can happen.
What sort of stocks should you buy?
"Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well."
It's often recommended that you buy shares in a company that operates in an industry that you understand. If you don't know anything about technology then why would you invest in technology? You want to understand what's going on the field and how it can affect your hard earned cash that you've invested into the company.
Before you get into timing the stock market or other complex investment plans it's recommended that you start off with purchasing shares in companies that you're familiar with. You don't want to start chasing the next hot stock pick right from the very beginning.
Where can you buy stocks?
"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect… You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd."
Times have really changed when it comes to buying shares. You used to have to actually call a stock broker and have that person do all of the work for you. I remember when my dad got into trading stocks back in 1999 he had sit by the phone and keep in touch with the broker. I used to hate this because we had dial up internet at the time and I couldn't log on to surf Geocities and Angelfire sites!
Now you can buy stocks online very easily. I personally setup a discount brokerage account with my local bank that allows me to trade stocks without leaving my home. If you're satisfied to finally know how the stock market works and want to get started you can check out the best online stock brokers or in Australia.
Click here to sign up for an account with TradeKing. [Quick update: You get $50 for free for signing up.]
(I can make money off any accounts that you sign up for. You can also make money or lose money from trading stocks. Please do your research so you don't want to come after me in case you lose your life savings. On the other hand, if you get rich, you know where you can donate!)
How does the stock market work? You should know that by now. Is the stock market risky? Yes, it can be very risky. If you're not into stocks you can always find alternative investments. At least you know how it works now and you have the ability to decide what you plan on doing with your hard earned money.
After reading this introduction into the stock market you should be ready to get started. Do you have any questions left? Please feel free to join the discussion.

Finding a word in a sentence?
Hi, I'm very new to java and am a bit lost really.
I'm working with a String called 'sentence', which equals "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
How can I query this, asking if the sentence includes the word "fox", printing the result as "Yes", or "No if "fox isn't part of the sentence? Would this have to be done in an array, or am I way off the mark?
Thanks in advance!
You could do it in an array; I believe Java supports tokenizing a String (splitting it up into "tokens" based on a specific character as a separator). You could also do it by looping through each character in the string.
I'd suggest looking at these:
StringTokenizer (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
Parsing Strings with split
loop through a string in java - Java answers
Good luck!

You can use the indexOf method of the String.
String string = "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
Boolean b = string.indexOf("fox") > 0;
This is case-sensitive. If you want it to ignore the case just use regex.
Hope this helps.
That would also find "abcfoxdef" in the sentence though. He'd have to then check if the string started with "fox ", if " fox " was in the sentence, or if it ended with " fox".
OP needs to consider what the definition of a word is. What are its delimiters?
white spaces, punctuation, or ()s or ???
Could have a method the took a char and returned true if the char was a valid word delimiter. Then with indexOf() finding a substring, testing for valid delimiters.
- 07-22-2010, 11:38 PM #6Java Code:
String sentence = "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."; System.out.println(sentence.contains("fox") ? "yes" : "no");

A growing manufacturer of scientific instruments, specialising in cryogenics, will soon call Squamish home.
Burnaby-based Quantum Technology Corp. toured the community during a recent hunt for high-quality office space and an abutting storage and work areas, the company�s president Calvin Winter told The Chief on Monday (Dec. 3). Company officials spoke with real estate agents, met with Community Futures Howe Sound and contacted the District of Squamish.
�We have decided to relocate the business to Squamish,� Winter said, adding that the company is involved in negotiations for property in Squamish�s industrial park. �We will be looking to hire a number of people.�
The company currently employs six staff, but it�s growing, he said. Quantum develops technology that recovers helium for reuse. A global shortage of the lighter-than-air gas has thrust Quantum�s devices into the forefront. Last week, the California Institute of Technology turned on the switch to a Quantum machine that takes old helium and purifies it.
The company is looking to expand and is currently aiming to hire up to five new employees, Winter said. Quantum also seeks to contract a business that will build and test its devices, he noted.
�We want to contract that work,� Winter said. �We would prefer to contract locally.�
Winter said he was initially attracted to Squamish because of its sense of community and area residents� love for the outdoors and education.
He hopes the company can collaborate with Capilano and Quest universities, he said. The company and students could share ideas and thoughts on certain projects, Winter noted, adding that his son went to Quest for a semester.
The current District of Squamish council has made it a priority to entice new business to town, particularly information technology companies. The subject as been a major topic of discussion for the Squamish Chamber of Commerce and the Inside Edge, a not-for-profit association of Sea to Sky Corridor knowledge-based industry workers.
Inside Edge director Kerry Brown said it�s difficult to tell how many tech companies are already based in Squamish. A lot of start-up IT business are run from people�s homes, he noted.
�[Inside Edge] tried to find out. It�s really hard,� Brown said when asked how many people the tech industry employs here. �We really don�t know.�
That said, the more IT companies set up in town the more that may follow, he noted. Having grown up in Squamish, Brown said he would like to see a string of IT start-ups in the community, providing the next generation with an opportunity to secure good-paying jobs and advance their careers.
�A lot of the start-ups are pretty small, so you need a plethora of them so people can enter the workforce and work their way up,� Brown said.

[ 1/10 ]
Saddle Mountain RV Park is located on the side of a mountain with lots of trees and narrow roads. Once you leave the main road there isn't really any turning around so be sure this is a road you want to travel. We were pretty amazed that the city would permit this RV Park to operate considering the maze of hazards looming at every turn. The sites were also narrower and shorter than we were used to. My husband has driven an RV for years and never faced so many obstacles. Several campers said they nearly hit trees trying to park. The most important item, if you do end up camping there is to be sure you pay attention to the road you take out of the park because it dips toward the rock wall (drain) and can easily throw your RV into wall and do a lot of damage.

Truth & Rumors > MLB
Braves' Jonny Venters out at least four weeks
- Views

07:12 PM ET 04.02 | Jonny Venters' left elbow injury is going to keep him out for the next four weeks. Venters met with Dr. James Andrews Monday and as of right now, surgery does not seem to be necessary for the 28-year-old left-hander. The bad news is that Andrews injected Venters' elbow with platelet-rich plasma which requires Venters to be shut down for a minimum of four weeks. Venters has arguably been one of the best relievers in the league. Venters had 230 appearances in his first three seasons, including a major league leading 85 in 2011, when he had a 1.84 ERA and limited hitters to a .176 batting average. Venters is second in appearances since 2010, behind only Sean Marshall (231), with 230. Among all relievers during this period, Venters is third in innings (229-2/3), fourth in strikeouts (258), second in walks (110), and ninth in ERA (2.23). He had a little bit of a drop off last season posting a career high 3.22 ERA but pitched much better after a DL stint. While Venters is out, the Braves will still have one of the best bullpens in baseball. They will have to rely heavily on Eric O'Flaherty and Jordan Walden. O'Flaherty posted a 1.73 ERA in 64 appearances for the Braves last season being a great surprise for the club.
and the pitchers with injuries keep coming towards the younger pitchers,, but can VENTERS overcome this injury-rash?? or should he take a year off?? just in case the injuries be more serious!!!
the angels do have a tough lineup in paper,, but in the real game seems as if all the hitters took the day off in their first game, halos would need more than just one lucky night with chris iannetta, angels are in desperate mode should pujols continue with his albastros passive approach in the plate? should hamilton careless about run production? should trout hit below mendoza line in the month of april? should trumbo increased his strikeout number?
teams need to play hard and agressive baseball,, from their very first game,,, angels can't relay in pitching only,, wonder why ervin santana didn't won many games last year? a lack of run production can kill any good pitching performance!!
DAN HAREN did had the same bad luck as santana did last year, should halos had scored a bunch of runs last year?? i bet you those two pitchers would had been in the halos uniform/team!!
the halos would have to findout in the hard way,,, can't win games with such lousy anemic run production,, still thinking is the pitching problem all alone?? re-evaluate the lineup and push even harder in order to win games, a bunch of runs should be scored in every game!!!
the reds were unble to score no more than one run,, but the halos would be facin tougher offensive and tougher pitching today, should latos falter in his first game as he did last year??
now lets not forget, latos was by far one of the best starters in the reds rotation,,,
but angels DO NEED their offensive to be more acurate and more disciplined lineup,,, should the team started a slower month of april as they did it last year?? don't forget there are tough teams after the reds, and they aren't going to be scoring one run or two in every game/angels have to improve their offensive attack unless they would like to be in the last place on their own division,,,,
thew braves have outstanding bullpen except the team taxed too many times their relievers and now,, the team has to pay the price for over used their own relievers,,,
great bullpen great rotation, and great lineup, but bad decissions could dislocated their goals in the long season!!
rangers aren't going to go away quitely they still have a tough rotation, and the hitters should fall into the right place on every game,, so do not think rangers are done just because,, no napoli? no worries, no hamilton? no problem, no michael young? not a big deal, the rangers DO HAVE better offensive lineup than the halos or the mariners,,,
I wondered how this story had 11 comments. Now I know.

Picked up a can of this yesterday from a local bottle shop, cracked it open and immediately smelled a strong urine odor along with rotten bananas, For some reason I went on to actually taste this abomination of beer, it was like Donkey Kong went on a banana binge and the gave me a golden shower the next morning. Putrid bananas and strong dark urine is all I can think of....but I looked at the bottom of the can once I was done muscling through this beer, since I dont believe in drain pours, and it was canned in July of 2013...7 months ago, I hope thats the problem. If not, I am seriously surprised that this crap came from 6 point

When Anthony Baslow was paroled from state prison, his girlfriend signed papers saying she would not allow any child to be left alone with him.
After all, Baslow was a convicted child sex-offender undergoing treatment outside prison walls; his girlfriend, Meghan Wilcox, had an 8-year-old child in her care, according to prosecutors.
In October, Baslow was charged with molesting the boy, and late last month, Wilcox herself was charged.
The 29-year-old Danbury resident faces four Class A misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child. Each carries a potential penalty of one year in jail.
In indictments, prosecutors allege Wilcox acted on purpose when she left the child alone with Baslow four times between June and September of last year. The crimes allegedly took place at a Wilmot location.
Baslow, who has returned to state prison, faces four counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, three counts of felonious sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure in connection with the assaults.
Susan Larrabee, a Merrimack County assistant attorney, said Baslow and Wilcox were boyfriend and girlfriend. As part of his sex-offender treatment, he signed papers saying he would have no contact with children.
"If kids are nearby, a chaperone goes through a course (about sexual offender treatment) and must also sign a contract," Larrabee said.
Wilcox signed a sex offender chaperone contract, promising she would not allow a child to be left alone with Baslow, according to the indictment.
According to the state Corrections Department website, Baslow was convicted in Grafton and Sullivan County superior courts for crimes that took place in 2000 and 2007, respectively.

Watch It TODAY
On DVD
i didn't get it...i didn't care for the ending. sorry, too artsy for me.
One of the best films of the year. This is a THINKING film so if you don't want to use your brain when you see it, don't go. It questions what is real and what is fake. Juliette Binoche has never been better. HIghly recommended.
I saw the movie again. If you pay close attention to the conversation they have in the car about Juliette Binoche sleeping behind the wheel of the car when the baby was in the back seat of the car and also when they were sitting on the steps of the hotel and she put her head on his shoulder and said to him: "you have changed, you have a new perfume, " and he said
very slow...good acting but a slow moving plot that goes nowhere.

Kremlin rights council urges annulment of Khodorkovsky verdict
Topic: The History of a Yukos CEO
MOSCOW, December 21 (RIA Novosti)

- Khodorkovsky's ex-cellmate to appeal second refusal to launch inquiry
An advisory council to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called for the second conviction against ex-tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky to be overturned.
"Taking into account effective means of legal support which are present in the national judicial system, it is necessary to raise with the Prosecutor General the issue of appealing the current verdict in order to annul it," the president's council on human rights and civil society said in a report.
Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev were convicted in a second trial in December last year. The trial was widely condemned abroad as unfair.
The two were first arrested in 2003 and sentenced in 2005 for fraud and tax evasion.
The council said there were "fundamental violations" during the investigation and advised Russia's Investigative Committee to re-launch it.
It also said that those jailed for economic crimes should be granted amnesty in order to "restore public trust in law enforcement bodies and the courts."
A great number of people have been jailed "unfairly," and there have been no "efficient procedures to correct the mistakes of the law enforcement and judicial systems," the council said.
Last year, President Medvedev signed a law banning the detention of suspects charged with economic crimes.
Former Constitutional Court judge Tamara Morshakova said there was "no evidence" to support the theft and embezzlement charges against Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man.
He was found guilty of stealing 200 million tons of oil from his own firm Yukos and laundering the proceeds.
"What was said to be stolen belonged to the company and benefited all stock holders," Morshakova told reporters.
"There are no norms in the Russian Criminal code to assess the actions of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev as criminal," she added.

Sometimes, the news I find is just sad.
A 15-year-old girl died Tuesday in a dramatic, ill-advised, effort to save her cancer-stricken dog from euthanasia.
According to an article in the Chicago Sun Times, Taylor Mae Stinchcomb, 15, stole her family's 2003 Dodge minivan and fled her Chicago-area home with her ill dog, Romulus, and a female friend, also 15.
When Taylor became too upset to drive, her unnamed friend took the wheel. Moments later, the friend lost control of the vehicle and crashed into several trees and a telephone pole.
The dog was thrown from the vehicle and died immediately. Taylor died of her injuries at a local hospital. The driver escaped almost without a scratch.
Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the crash, police said.
Police are not sure where the girls were headed or what they planned to do.
Taylor picked the dog out while visiting an animal shelter on her 13th birthday.
A high school freshman, Taylor is survived by two sisters, a brother and her parents, Bill and LeeAnn Stinchcomb.

I have two children and if one of them took the car (without permission, apparently) there is NO WAY I would consider it "stolen". Shame on the media for being insensitive, heartless morons for saying she "stole" the family car. And if the parents said it, they're as insensitive, heartless as the media.
How about "took the car without permission"? See? That only took my five seconds to come up with and I'm not a news writer!

7:42 am
@Thoth: "Stole the car" uses fewer words, a prime concern when space is limited (assuming you're coming from a newspaper writing point of view". Your version has two extra word that are very long.
Speaking of editing: "Taylor had been picked the dog…"?

Thoth Amon… IT IS WHAT IT IS. "took the car w/o permission" its called theft. If she hadnt stolen the car, she'd still be alive. Poor baby,bless her heart. But if she took it without permission, by DEFINITION she stole the car. Just b/c the situation is tragic, that is no excuse to sugarcoat something so simple… is that all you got out of the article? Sensitivity isnt what the media is for… they just give you the facts. I'll bet the police report says theft as well… cause thats what it was.
btw: pray for the friend that survived

My 13 year old took our car without permission. I can assure you, she stole it. She hit a house but thankfully they all made it out ok. Of course she was grounded for 8 years and now that she is 21, I have finally allowed her to get her license.
June 24th, 2011
7:54 am
This situation is unfortuanate for all parties involved. There apparently were some misplaced priorities and not a lot of reality. I can understand that the teen was upset that her pet was going to be euthanized. However, her parents failed in teaching her that death is apart of life.

Wonder if she's in "doggie" heaven or people heaven? Just food for thought for all of you naive, God-fearing idiots who really believe there's such a place high above the cloud for the dearly departed… lmao

The potential good and bad of signing Shane Doan to a 4-year contract
This was the rumor posted from the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch:
Phoenix captain Shane Doan is reportedly looking for a four-year, $30-million deal to leave the Coyotes. The talk is the Penguins are prepared to put a four-year, $24-million deal on the table if they haven't already.
Few things about this, first off. Garrioch is the same guy who predicted "Malkin to the Kings" however many years ago. And this whole rumor wasn't even the subject of the article. Such a Trib thing to do.
The first reaction of the mention of Doan getting a 4-year contract is that feeling you get when your significant other invites someone over to your house when you had your mind set on just relaxing by yourself for the night and not having to put on some kind of show.
Then again, at the end of the night, most of the time you're like, "Well, that wasn't so bad."
Shane Doan could be the same. The breakdown of the good and bad after the jump.
Shane Doan would be good. Reason 1:
Let's look at Doan's stats:
Pretty much an automatic 20-goal scorer and hasn't been under 50 points since 2001. Give him the right linemates, and he could get close to being an 80-point guy. See 2008.
Shane Doan would be good. Reason 2:
The Penguins twice picked up two aging players with great results. They picked up Gary Roberts in 2007 and kept him on board for 2008. They also got Bill Guerin for 2009's Cup run and kept him on board for 2010. In those cases, both players gave the Pens two really good years. Roberts was 40, and Guerin was 38.
So, what if the Penguins would have had both when they were 35? Roberts was a beast for the Leafs when he was 35, and the same could be said for Guerin, who was putting up 30 goals when he was 35.
Shane Doan would be good. Reason 3:
This probably could go with Guerin and Roberts, as well. One thing that drove the Penguins' Cup runs was the desire of the older guys to win the Cup again before retiring. Not that the Penguins need that drive, but Shane Doan could impose his will and reignite the Pens' desire. No idea what that means, though. Hell, it would be Doan's drive for his FIRST Cup.
Shane Doan would be good. Reason 4:
Let's see. Would you rather overpay Shane Doan or watch TK humiliate himself alongside Malkin or Crosby next season? News flash, as well: Eric Tangradi cannot play with Malkin or Crosby. Tangradi couldn't play with Bert and Ernie. So what is the worse that happens? You set up your top two lines for a good stretch of seasons, and maybe by the time Doan is out of it, one of the younger guys like Beau Bennett can step in.
And don't be stupid. Bennett isn't gonna go from not really doing much in college hockey to being a top-six in the NHL in one year. Get ahold of yourselves.
Shane Doan would be bad. Reason 1:
Are you really going to pay Doan $6 million a year? It doesn't seem like a Shero move, contract-wise. That is more than James Neal, a proven 40-goal scorer.
Shane Doan would be bad. Reason 2:
He's kind of a dick. Fairly sure this is about everything we have for "bad." Looks like we've already talked ourselves into Shane Doan.
Shane Doan would be bad. Reason 3:

Nebraska QB status murky with a chance of Martinez

07:34 AM ET 10.25 | "I don't know what we're doing," Bo Pelini said Thursday. [Pelini] will wear his poker face for a little longer. Nebraska's football coach said Thursday he expected quarterback Taylor Martinez -- the senior four-year starter who's missed three games with a turf toe injury -- to play in Saturday's 11 a.m. game at Minnesota. But he wouldn't name Martinez the starter, nor rule out playing backups Tommy Armstrong and Ron Kellogg. "It'll be a game-time decision of what we're going to do, but I would anticipate he's going to play," Pelini said of Martinez. ... Martinez missed practice for five weeks, wearing a boot on his left foot to protect the toe. He practiced Sunday and made it through two full-padded workouts this week. He practiced again Thursday, both of his shoes wrapped in tape. Martinez has declined all interview requests until after Saturday's game.

I'm shocked- SHOCKED- to learn that Bo Pelini doesn't know what he's doing!
This should be an interesting game. Is Minnie making strides? Last week's win at N'western would suggest that they are improving as the season goes on. Always the sign of a good coaching staff when that happens. Can they upset the 'Huskers? I doubt it, but I didn't l
think they were going to beat Northwestern either.

Frankly, if Pelligrino is doing all this to force Minnie to prepare for multiple offensive options, it says a lot about the growth of the Killer Gs' program.

The season must be half over,, Big Red's schedule is finally getting interesting.
What a dumb thread title. Go Meechigan!
Nebraska plays at Minnesota this Saturday.
Pelini has done this before, so it's not really news worthy. He also has a little problem with people in Nebraska already being done with Taylor and ready to move on to Armstrong. Martinez turned from being a potential superstar to a mediocre, play it safe, quarterback.

Broadcast date: Tuesday 5 March 2013
Oliver Burkeman is a writer for The Guardian based in New York, and also writes a monthly column for Psychologies magazine.
He's been closely following the self-help phenomenon and he says most of its gurus have it exactly backwards.
Oliver thinks that if you really want to pursue happiness, you should ditch the positive thinking and travel the negative path: embrace failure, embrace embarrassment and above all accept insecurity.
His non self-help self-help book is called The Antidote: Happiness for people who can't stand positive thinking, published by Text.

Navasota Expands Municipal Airport
Posted: 2:01 PM May 20, 2012

Government officials and over one hundred community members gathered Saturday for the Navasota Municipal Airport Expansion ribbon cutting ceremony.
The ceremony celebrated the expansion of the airport to a size of 5,000 feet in length and 75 feet in width via assistance from a TXDOT grant and a land donation by Bob Waltrip. The new expansion reportedly allows jet traffic at the airport.
The event featured a B-25 Mitchell Bomber on display courtesy of the Lone Star Flight Museum of Galveston, Texas.
Among those in attendance were Congressmen Bill Flores and Kevin Brady, State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, as well as city and county officials.

Kathleen Parker is the best columnist at the Washington Post. That may be damning with faint praise, but still. I mean: sane; insane. Parker:
Other better-known former tokers include our current president and a couple of previous ones, as well as a Supreme Court justice, to name just a few. A complete list would require the slaughter of several mature forests.Michael Wilbon, meanwhile:
This we know: Were Phelps to run for public office someday and admit to having smoked pot in his youth, he would be forgiven. Yet, in the present, we impose monstrous expectations on our heroes. Several hand-wringing commentaries have surfaced the past few days, lamenting the tragic loss for disappointed moms, dads and, yes, The Children.
Understandably, parents worry that their kids will emulate their idol, but the problem isn't Phelps, who is, in fact, an adult. The problem is our laws -- and our lies.
Obviously, children shouldn't smoke anything, legal or otherwise. Nor should they drink alcoholic beverages, even though their parents might.
There are good reasons for substance restrictions for children that need not apply to adults.
That's the real drug message that should inform our children and our laws, rather than the nonsense that currently passes for drug information.
Today's anti-drug campaigns are slightly wonkier than yesterday's "Reefer Madness," but equally likely to become party hits rather than drug deterrents. One recent ad produced by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy says: "Hey, not trying to be your mom, but there aren't many jobs out there for potheads." Whoa, dude, except maybe, like, president of the United States.
Once a kid realizes that pot doesn't make him insane -- or likely to become a burrito taster, as the ad further asserts -- he might figure other drug information is equally false. That's how marijuana becomes a gateway drug.
Phelps may be an involuntary hero to this charge, but his name and face bring necessary attention to a farce in which nearly half the nation are actors. It's time to recognize that all drugs are not equal -- and change the laws accordingly.
It doesn't matter that "everybody else is doing it," because my bet is that everybody else smoking pot at that student party at the University of South Carolina doesn't have endorsement deals worth $100 million. They haven't courted the concept of being a role model and selling cellphones and cereal to mothers and grandmothers and little children.Mothers and grandmothers and little children, who are THE FUTURE!
Weed is fun and harmless. A world in which a miserable guy with a lousy job and a dick boss can knock off and burn one down instead of knocking off, hitting the bar, and then smacking his wife and kid is a better world.
The idea that "everyone is doing it"--at least, a significant plurality is doing it--doesn't constitute a moral defense of the practice is tendentious at best, and even flies in the face of our own Supreme Court, which has in other matters has noted "evolving standards of decency." After decades of prohibition, Americans have roundly concluded that smoking marijuana isn't bad, and the fact that we continue to waste blood (mostly other peoples') and treasure defending ourselves from our own largest cash crop is perhaps our greatest single example of the sunk costs fallacy, the notion that after all those billions of dollars and millions of incarcerations and thousands of lousy ads, quitting now, so to speak, would be giving up.

The real Holy Grail is the prevention of breast cancer. Since that likely is very distant, we are grateful for any hints of progress, and this is a nice one. From Christopher Li, MD PhD and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle comes this report about very early progress towards a blood test that might identify very early breast cancer. As you think about this, you can imagine some of the problems. For example, if a blood test is developed and suggests the presence of an early breast cancer, then what? What if it does not yet show up on mammogram or breast MRI? How do you find it? It does not seem likely that many women would opt for bilateral mastectomies on the basis of an "invisible" cancer that is only confirmed by blood markers.
Like all science, this is going to be slow and methodical and challenging, but it is encouraging. Here is a summary from MedScape:
Progress in Blood Test for Breast Cancer
April 21, 2010 (Washington, D.C.) — Researchers report they're a step closer to developing a blood test for the early detection of breast cancer.
Using data from the large Women's Health Initiative (WHI), they found that levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may be elevated in the blood of women as long as 17 months prior to their breast cancer diagnosis. EGFR is critical for the growth and spread of breast cancer cells. By itself, EGFR did not prove useful as a marker for breast cancer detection, says Christopher Li, MD, PhD, associate member of the epidemiology program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
The goal is to develop a panel of biomarkers that would be more accurate, he tells WebMD.
The study involved 688 women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer whose blood was drawn within 17 months prior to their cancer diagnosis. Their blood test results were compared to those of 688 women of similar ages without any sign of cancer.
The findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 101st Annual Meeting. Overall, the researchers identified 79 proteins whose levels appeared to be elevated in the blood of women with cancer, compared with the other women.
One of the proteins that could be validated using a commercially available assay was EGFR.
So the researchers divided about 400 of the women into four groups depending on their EGFR levels. Those in the highest quarter had a nearly threefold increased risk of developing breast cancer compared with those in the lowest quarter.
Then the researchers looked only at EGFR levels among the nearly 150 current users of estrogen plus progestin hormone therapy. "We know hormone therapy has a major impact in levels on circulating proteins in the blood," Li explains.
Among these women, those in the highest quarter had nine times the risk of developing breast cancer compared with those in the lowest quarter. Li says the researchers aren't exactly sure why hormone therapy had such a big impact.
As a single marker among current estrogen plus progestin users, EGFR levels could correctly identify 90% of women who would not develop breast cancer.
But they correctly identified only 31% of women who would develop breast cancer.
Nevertheless, Li is optimistic. "We identified 71 other proteins that may also serve as markers, which we hope to test in the future," he says.
"We also want to see if combining a biomarker panel with mammography will further increase the accuracy of the overall screening approach," Li says.
"This gives us a clue that there may be biomarkers that we can use to better predict breast cancer," says Jennifer Eng-Wong, MD, a breast cancer specialist at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
Many other studies looking for biomarkers for breast cancer haven't panned out, the researchers note. One of the strengths of this study is that the researchers had access to blood drawn prior to women being diagnosed with breast cancer, Eng-Wong tells WebMD.
"If you use blood later, once they're diagnosed and have clinical symptoms, it's too late," Li says.
