Hillsborough tribute not without jarring notes; more EPL thoughts | Story Highlights The remembrance of the Hillsborough disaster reeked of a PR move by the EPLA referee's importance was cemented in the Man United victory over LiverpoolPlus: Arsenal's contender status, the struggle of André Villas Boas, and more |
Here are five thoughts on Sunday's English Premier League action:
1. Remembering the dead. The sight, and sound, of Liverpool fans, gathered Sunday in their chosen place of worship, hymning their dead with "You'll Never Walk Alone," was unquestionably moving.
The 96 fans who died in Sheffield in 1989 should be remembered. The report of the Hillsborough Independent Panel on September 12 revealed a disgraceful cover up. Yet it has been hard to suppress a twinge of cynicism about some of the reactions.
First, the way the Premier League has thrown its well-oiled marketing machine into suddenly commemorating the dead over this weekend smacks of a PR exercise. Why didn't this happen before the report? The Premier League is, to some extent, built on wreckage of Hillsborough, Heysel and the Bradford fire. Supporters were, in part, victims of neglect, bordering on contempt for their safety, by the soccer clubs and administrators and the police. Of course, some fans had done a lot of over the preceding decades to earn contempt. That was a point driven home Sunday by some United fans, determined to act as jerks, as they persisted with a chant of their own, many angrily punching the air in resentment, as the rest of Anfield sang. (Liverpool fans have not been innocent over the years in this particular bad-taste contest.) English soccer reacted to Hillsborough by adopting a strategy of excluding the poor, young males who were seen as a problem. The strategy worked and gave us the shiny, all-star league that has become such a global money-spinner. The message over the weekend seemed to be "we are big business, but we care."
The second cause of cynicism, is that, while the Hillsborough 96 are so publicly remembered, the victims of Bradford, Heysel, Ibrox and a host of others, are not. There were special circumstances surrounding Hillsborough, as the report made clear. But that report was in part a product of the ceaseless campaign by the Liverpool F.C. community for what they saw as an injustice.
As the fans sang on Sunday, it was a celebration, of the memory of those who died and of the triumph of those who had been left behind and, in the face of a conspiracy by government and police, had walked on, through the wind and the rain, with hope in their hearts. It's a worthwhile lesson.
2. Who'd want to be a referee? Manchester United's 2-1 victory in a typically rough-edged match at Liverpool was proof, once again, of how pivotal and difficult a referee's role is. The match hinged on a series of decisions by Mark Halsey. He probably got all of them right, but many were marginal and, taken together, they determined the outcome.
Halsey's decisions to send off Jonjo Shelvey in the first half and award a penalty kick with the scores tied in the second were harsh but correct. His decisions to send off neither Jonny Evans nor Robin van Persie nor to respond to any of Luis Suárez's many demands for a penalty were also, on balance, correct. But they all added up, and Halsey was rewarded for his afternoon's work by being booed off by the home fans.
3. Title contenders. It wasn't clear as City and Arsenal played out a wild 1-1 draw in the Manchester rain whether Arsenal has grown into a title challenger or City is slipping backward.
Arsenal dominated possession and territory. City had far more shots on target. At times, both teams attacked with menacing speed and fluency. Yet none of the high-price attacking players on the field could put the ball in the net. Gervinho of Arsenal was, not for the first time, eye-catchingly wasteful near goal. (Van Persie? Who's he?) Both the goals, Joleon Lescott for City and Laurent Koscielny, were scored by center backs after corners.
At their best, both teams looked superb. But neither could find a way to win. Both are chugging along nicely on nine points from five games, but that already leaves them four points behind Chelsea, which isn't playing well but is finding a way to win.
4. Managing to win. One of the many, many, criticisms levelled at André Villas Boas after his brief stint at Chelsea was that he was not a good man manager. On Sunday, the Spurs team he sent out to face QPR seemed to have been picked with the principal objective of keeping his stars happy rather than actually winning the game.
In the first half, Gareth Bale played at left back with Clint Dempsey in front of him. This negated the strengths and highlighted the weaknesses of both men. Dempsey worked hard to screen Bale, but the pair struggled. Their teammates looked confused. QPR, which has put together quite a nice midfield from other clubs' castoffs, dominated and led.
At halftime, Villas Boas risked bruising an ego when he removed Gylfi Sigurdsson. Spurs improved but Villas Boas also enjoyed a stroke of luck when a bemused Alejandro Faurlín put the ball in his own goal. Jermain Defoe quickly added the second. Tottenham won, 2-1.
The manager's desire to put all his new players on the field is understandable. He wants to keep them happy. He also needs them to grow to know each other. Dempsey, who looked much happier in a central role, already seems to have an understanding with Defoe and Bale. They almost always shoot rather than pass. On Sunday, Dempsey did the same, smashing the ball goal-ward almost every time he got within 30 yards. Most of his shots didn't get through but he did force one good save from Júlio César. It's an attitude that suggests he now views himself as a star. The manager's desire to work Dempsey into the starting line-up at any cost indicates agreement.
5. Paying the penalty. In "Soccernomics" (or, for the British market, "Why England Lose"), Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski tried to apply the sabermetric methods of Moneyball to the far more unstable and fluid sport of soccer. Unsurprisingly, one area that seemed to lend itself to statistical analysis was the game within a game when play has stopped: the penalty kick.
The kicker and the goalie are both faced with a simple choice: right or left, strong side or weak side. In practice, as Kuper and Szymanski acknowledge, some kickers simply go straight down the middle. So they excluded those kicks from the calculation. Game theory suggests that the kicker should go to his stronger side (shooting across his body) roughly seven times out of 10. The research showed that kickers, and goalies, had worked that out for themselves and went that way about 70 percent of the time.
That makes it seem that a penalty is simply a shell game. It ignores the fact that soccer is a game based on an ability to kick a ball hard and accurately. Sometimes players seem to forget that too and try to score penalties with their heads, not their feet. A good example was Nani's pathetic miss for United against Galatasaray on Wednesday, a night when all three penalties awarded in the Champions League were missed. Nani stopped, illegally, hoping the goalie would make the choice for him by diving out of the way and when he didn't rolled it tamely at him; too much thinking, too little confidence in his ability.
On Sunday, with the game on the line at Anfield, Robin van Persie, who had wasted his previous penalty by trying to bluff the goalie with a cute chip, walloped the ball. Pepe Reina guessed right. He got both hands to the ball. It didn't matter. The shot was too hard.
Even more impressive was Rickie Lambert's spot kick as Southampton beat Aston Villa, 4-1, on Saturday. The goalie, Brad Guzan, guessed correctly but couldn't get close as a ground-hugging missile zoomed just inside the post. Lambert has converted all 26 of the penalties he has taken for the Saints. His ability to hit the ball very hard and very accurately, over and over again, eliminates the goalie from the equation.

A softened, textured look comes with pleated window shadesMar 9 2011 Pleated shades can add texture and soften the look of a room with a lot of hard edges. That's especially important when they decide to install new window treatments, which can easily become a focal point in a room with large windows. One popular choice in recent years has been pleated window shades that have all the advantages of regular shades, but also come in a wide variety of shapes that include non-rectangular windows or triangular sections in sunrooms. "They give a soft and modern effect to your windows. When you have windows which are small, difficult to curtain, or have other problems associated with them, you'll often find that pleated shades are a good solution," according to IdeasForHomeDecorating.com. Pleated shades stack tightly when raised to maximize an outdoor view and let in light, but can be adjusted to any length to reduce sunlight damage to furniture. They provide the same privacy as regular shades, and come in a variety of materials, colors and finishes to match any home decorating scheme. Related Products

What is the Mammoth Value Pass?
The Mammoth Value Pass, or MVP, is the lowest priced, unrestricted season pass we offer. The MVP program is open to the public and current MVP passholders are eligible to renew their pass.
Are there any blackout days for MVP?
Can I use my pass at June Mountain?
What is PassCash and what are its benefits?
PassCash is cash loaded onto your season pass during the Pass Sale period ONLY and is good at any Mammoth Mountain operated business starting on June 15, 2013. It's great for kids of all ages who don't want to worry about carrying cash or credit cards when they're on the hill. If you load PassCash during the spring pass sales period in $100 increments, we'll add in a 20% bonus (for instance if you buy $100, we'll credit your pass with $120). But this promotion is available only at the time of purchase and available in $100 increments.
How do I purchase my MVP pass?
Purchase online at MammothMountain.com or call 800.MAMMOTH
What are my payment options?
We highly recommend using a credit card to purchase your pass because it is the only way to guarantee that we have your order. We accept Visa, MasterCard or American Express with online purchases. For mail-in payment other than a credit card (i.e. money order, etc.) or for international orders, please call Mammoth Vacations at 760.934.0745 between the hours of 8:00am and 8:00pm PST. Please note that if we do not receive mail-in orders by the date the sale ends we will not be able to process your order, regardless of postmark date. Also, new this year is a Payment that allows you to pay in three small installments.
Is entering my credit card information online safe?
Yes. We use the latest encryption methods to make sure that your personal information is safe and every transaction is secure.
May I use my Courtesy Vouchers to purchase a Mammoth Value Pass?
No. Courtesy Vouchers do not have cash value. They are only valid toward the purchase of another day of skiing, rentals or ski school lessons— not season passes. However, they are transferable so you may pass them on to someone who will be able to use them.
May I use a Mammoth Gift Card to purchase my Mammoth Value Pass?
When and where can I pick up my MVP?
Renewing pass holders will continue to use existing passes which will be activated for Winter use on October 1, 2013. Liability releases for 2013/14 must be submitted. If Liability Releases are not received by opening day, passes will be deactivated and guests will have to go to the front line to sign the Liability release and have their pass activated. New members can pick up their passes at a ticket window beginning on April 22. The Mountain Center, and Canyon and Eagle lodges are planned to close as of April 22, so pick up at the Main Lodge will be the option after that date.
If I purchase a Pass and then for some reason am unable to use it, or even pick it up, can I get a refund or credit?
No. Mammoth Passes are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another person or season. Please consider purchasing Pass Protection to protect your investment.
What if I lose my pass?
There is a fee for replacing a lost pass. Simply bring a photo ID with you to the ticket window during business hours for a replacement pass.
What if I forget my pass?
You will have the opportunity to purchase a lift ticket for $10 (for up to a 3-day ticket) by showing a photo ID at the Main Lodge, Canyon Lodge, Eagle Lodge or the Village's Mountain Center ticket window during business hours.
Why is a youth pass for ages 13-18?
Mammoth Mountain uses the age of 18 as the upper limit on a youth pass based on the average age of most high school seniors. Eighteen is the age of a legal adult.
How do I know which age/price range I am in if I'm on the cusp?
We determine the age/price range you fall under using your age as of scheduled Opening Day. If you are purchasing a Mammoth Mountain Pass this date is November 7, 2013. If you are purchasing a Mountain Bike Park Pass this date is June 21, 2013. If you are purchasing a Tamarack Cross Country Ski Pass this date is Nov. 16, 2013.
Do I get a free Season Pass for my child that is under 6 years old?
We offer complimentary lift tickets to children 6 and under. If you would rather get a season pass to bypass the ticket windows, there is a processing fee of $25 for a 6 and under season pass with proof of age (birth certificate) and valid Adult MVP Pass. The 6 and under passes can be obtained at Mammoth Mountain ticket counters. Child must be 6 years old or under as of November 7, 2013 to qualify for pass.
I'm over 80 years old. Do I get a free Season Pass?
Season passes for seniors incur a $25 processing fee, with proof of age. 80 and over passes can only be purchased at a Mammoth Mountain ticket counter or through 800.MAMMOTH. There is no time limit to purchase an 80 and over pass.
My children take lessons during most visits to Mammoth. Should I buy passes for them?
A lift ticket is complimentary for children enrolled in group lessons. If your child is always in a lesson, a pass is not necessary. However, you will need to purchase a ticket for your child on days they wish to ski and are not enrolled in a group lesson. Please note: Private lessons require a ticket/pass.
If I bought a pass for my child in the spring and they decide to join the Mammoth Junior Race Team in the fall, can I get a refund on their pass?
No. Mammoth Value Passes are non-refundable and non-transferable.
I am a business owner and would like to buy 20 passes now and assign names later. Is that possible?
No. Mammoth Season Passes are non-transferable and must have a name assigned to them at the time of purchase. Once purchased, passes are non-refundable and non-transferable to another person or season.
What Season Passes can I purchase if I miss the April MVP sales window?
The April sale is the guaranteed lowest price on unrestricted skiing and riding during the 2013/14 season. The pass will still be available for sale after April, but not at the same price.
If I decide not to use my MVP in 2013/2014, can I transfer it to next year?
Once purchased, passes are non-refundable and non-transferable to another person or season. Please consider purchasing Pass Insurance to protect your investment.
My child is under 7 in the 2013/2014 season. Will they be able to get MVP Pass pricing in future years?
Yes, the MVP club is now open to everyone.
How will I receive Activity Pass Add-ons?
Bike Park and Sierra Star activity passes can be picked up this summer when you visit. Tamarack passes need to be picked up at Tamarack and will not be mailed.
What will I need with me to pick up my pass?
A valid photo ID is required to pick up your pass. Youth, child and senior passes will require proof of age (i.e. copy of birth certificate, passport, driver's license, etc.) at the time of pick up. The ID you present must show your appropriate age/year on or before November 7, 2013. New passholders must have their photo taken to pick up their pass. For your security, photos must be taken on-site, in person, which means we will not accept mailed-in photos.
I look nothing like my picture from last season. Can I get another one taken?
Yes. You may have your picture retaken at a ticket window. Please bring your pass with you along with a photo ID to get a new photo. For your security, photos must be taken on-site, in person, which means we will not accept mailed-in photos.
Can someone else pick up my pass for me?
For your security the passholder must be present, whether a new photo is needed or not.
When am I eligible for MVP benefits?
Passholders are eligible for any Mammoth MVP benefits during the time the Pass itself is valid.
How will you let me know about MVP discounts/benefits?
The best way to stay in touch is to provide us with your e-mail address. Sign up now to receive e-mail alerts.
Please note: we do not sell or share your information outside of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
Will my existing MVP pass become my Premium Pass?
No, you will have a new Premium Pass mailed to you in the fall.
How do I redeem my half-off lift tickets at another resort?
To redeem your half-off ticket, simply present your MVP Premium pass at the resort's ticket counter. Premium is valid at Alta Snowbird, Aspen/Snowmass, Jackson Hole, Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows and Whistler Blackcomb.
Is there a payment plan for MVP Premium?
The Mammoth Value Pass (MVP) gives you VIP access to a 3,500-acre winter playground that rocks from November until June. And with the MVP pass there's plenty of perks off the slopes too like retail, lodging, and lessons, exclusive MVP events, bring a friend passes and so much more. When you add it all up – the deals, the privileges, and as many as 240 days of skiing or riding for the price of 7 – it's the pass that's too good to pass up.
Even if you don't have all the cash now, MVP status is well within your reach—just $129 down with our new payment plan.
Try our payment plan. Only 4 affordable payments stand between you and unlimited fun both on and off the slopes*.
Just call 800.MAMMOTH to get started.

The Spring MVP Payment Plan is available for those who wish to spread their payments out over time. The Plan requires a $129 down payment, which includes a $40 processing fee at time of purchase. The remaining balance will be charged in three additional equal installments in May, June and July (actual dates of payment processing may vary). Please Note: Your pass will not be available for use until all installments are paid in full. The same credit/debit card will be charged for all payments (keep this in mind when you choose your card – it must have an expiration date of August 1, 2013 or later). The Spring MVP Payment Plan is only for credit/debit card purchasers. You cannot make your down payment on a credit card and then pay the rest later with a check or cash. The entire purchase must be completed using the same credit/debit card originally processed. Pass is only valid for the 2013/14 season. There is no Payment Plan option for MVP Premium.
There are NO REFUNDS on Season Passes - even if the Season Pass is never picked up or used. There are also NO REFUNDS on installment payments you have made if you choose to cancel your Payment Plan prior to completing your payments. The only exception to the NO REFUND policy is for those who opt to purchase Season Pass Insurance. Mammoth Mountain offers this voluntary, opt-in program through Travel Guard to help you protect your purchase. By purchasing Season Pass Insurance, you may be able to receive all or a portion of the cost of your Pass if you are unable to begin or finish the 2013-2014 winter season in the event of documented injury/illness, pregnancy, relocation (some restrictions apply) or military deployment.
To sign up for the MVP Payment Plan call 800.MAMMOTH (800)626-6684

Fidel Castro is 86 and retired, and has appeared increasingly frail in recent months. He made a surprise appearance at Sunday's gathering, receiving a thunderous ovation from lawmakers.
Some analysts have speculated that the Castros would push a younger member of their family into a top job, but there was no hint of that Sunday.
While few things are ever clear in Cuba's hermetically sealed news environment, rumblings that Diaz-Canel, an electrical engineer by training and ex-minister of higher education, might be in line for a senior post have grown.
In recent weeks, he has frequently been featured on state television news broadcasts in an apparent attempt to raise his profile.
He also traveled to Venezuela in January for the symbolic inauguration of Hugo Chavez, a key Cuban ally who had been re-elected president but was too ill to be sworn in.
The 612 lawmakers sworn in Sunday also named Esteban Lazo as the National Assembly's first new chief in 20 years, replacing Ricardo Alarcon.
Lazo, who turns 69 on Tuesday, is a vice president and member of the Communist Party's ruling political bureau. Parliament meets only twice a year and generally passes legislation unanimously without visible debate.
The legislature also named as vice presidents of the ruling Council Machado Ventura; comptroller general Gladys Bejerano; second Vice President Ramiro Valdes; Havana Communist Party secretary Lazara Mercedes Lopez Acea; and Salvador Valdes Mesa, head of Cuba's labor union.

QR Code Conundrum
Posted By Shelley Bernstein On October 20, 2011 @ 12:35 pm In Technology | 21 Comments
I've long been a critic of QR Codes [1]. When I look around, I see low adoption rates, technical hurdles for end users and some really annoying uses in the marketing sector—who wants that?
As critical as I am, there have been some really [2] good [3] uses [4] in museums and I think we are starting to see a tide change in New York City. For starters, the city is using them on all the building permits, so you can learn more as you pass construction sites. There are plans in the works for QR codes on all the restaurant inspections plaques. If there's one thing that would motivate people to jump the technical hurdles of installing a QR reader, this would be it—the notion that we could see the actual violations that led to a restaurant's letter grade makes QR truly useful for those of us who obsess about where we eat.
When looking at a possible implementation at the Brooklyn Museum, there are considerations to think about—we've got a community-minded mission that takes accessibility very seriously and we are aware that a very large portion of our visitors don't have the smartphones required to use the codes. That said, we want to start looking at what this equation means for us and, as a result, we've just installed QR codes in the Museum as an experiment to see how visitors respond. We are evaluating several different types of uses.
In The Dinner Party and Luce Visible Storage, you can use the QR to jump to mobile versions of our collections database. Each of these galleries provides limited information on the walls and, instead, we ask visitors to use kiosks to retrieve information about objects. By installing QR codes, we are providing additional means to view that information via mobile, but no one is left out of the experience—if they don't have the technology, they can use the computers instead.
We are also testing the idea of QR as an on-demand platform. For the last year, our mobile game, Gallery Tag! [5], has been integrated into our mobile app, but its use has been quite low. While we have gotten good feedback from visitors who've played it, the visibility of the game buried within our mobile presence has made it difficult to find, so we are putting the game behind a QR code to see if it helps make the application more visible within the exhibition space.
Lastly, we've created a poetry trail throughout the museum using the poems that Raj Arumugam [6] composed using our collection online. This takes community-generated content from the web and puts it next to the objects in the gallery, showcasing a community voice in the permanent collections. We are interested to see if codes are scanned for individual objects and if visitors are interested in community generated content as another layer in the gallery. The question does remain—can this content be found? QR codes are striking and catch the eye, but with 3000+ objects on view, it will be difficult to find the 30 codes sprinkled throughout the museum that reveal poems. This part of the trial may prove to give us information that is too limited.
In the QR code trial, we want to make sure the codes do not create unnecessary confusion or exclusion for visitors and, to this end, we've created a mobile palm card [7] to help explain things. While we still expect use to be fairly low, we'll be looking at metrics and comparing them to other types of mobile use, namely our mobile website and our mobile app—we are curious to see if pickup rate increases as we move to an on-demand system using readily off the shelf technology.
This experiment may change how we develop for mobile in the future, so I'll report back on our findings in a couple of months. In the meantime, we'd love for you to come try them out and let us know about your experience.

These new restrictions fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, as well as on voters with disabilities. This wave of changes may sharply tilt the political terrain for the 2012 election. ... Although it is too early to quantify how the changes will impact voter turnout, they will be a hindrance to many voters at a time when the United States continues to turn out less than two thirds of its eligible citizens in presidential elections and less than half in midterm elections.
Of the changes in state voting laws, requirements that voters present some form of ID at the polls are the most prevalent. With the new changes in place, there are now 30 US states that require voters to present ID, including 14 states that require photo ID, but the issue remains controversial. In August, South Carolina civil rights groups urged [JURIST report] the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] to block the state from implementing a new law [R54 materials] that would require voters to present photo ID in order to cast their ballots. In June, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon [official website] vetoed legislation [JURIST report] that would have required individuals to present government-issued photo ID at the voting booth. In May, the Georgia Supreme Court [official website] upheld a state law [JURIST report] that requires voters to present one of six government-issued photo identifications in order to vote. In contrast, a three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] struck down [JURIST report] a portion of an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration in October.

BIG BEAR LAKE - Big Bear had been overpowering its opponents through its first five games, its few mistakes minimized in blowout games.
Saturday, the few mistakes got bigger.
Arcadia Rio Hondo Prep (No. 2 in CIF-SS Northeast Division) played turnover-free football and took advantage of four Bears turnovers to rally for a 29-14 nonleague win at Big Bear Middle School.
"That's what happens every year against them," Big Bear coach Dave Griffiths said. "We have our mistakes and missed opportunities. You can't do that against a good football team."
Big Bear (5-1, No. 4 in the East Valley Division), averaging 48 points per game, led 14-7 at halftime but it could've been more. The Bears lost two fumbles, one at the Kares' 14-yard line.
Rio Hondo Prep (4-1) dedicated itself to its running game in the second half. Senior quarterback Colby Rivera, who missed practice all week with an infection and only arrived Saturday at game time, completed only one of nine passes.
So the onus fell on the running game, and it didn't disappoint. Junior Nate Tayco had 24 carries for a season-high 224 yards and in the second half scored two touchdowns and two 2-point conversions.
"That's a big game for him, because usually we pass more," Kares coach Ken Drain said. "But our guys blocked well in our run game."
Rio Hondo Prep took the lead for good on the opening drive of the second half, culminating in Tayco's 1-yard touchdown run. After Big Bear jumped offside on the extra point, the Kares decided to go for two and made it for a 15-14 lead.
The Bears then had first and goal at the 4. But on second and goal at the 6, quarterback Taylan Seaman (10 of 20, 151 yards) threw an ill-advised pass into the end zone that was intercepted by Sebby Rosales.
"We did a good job of getting pressure and forcing the mistake," Drain said.
"He's a junior and done a great job with our offense," Griffiths said. "I've had a lot of seniors make that mistake."
On that failed drive, the Bears lost top running back/linebacker Lucas Jenkins (89 yards, one touchdown) to an ankle injury. He did not return.
An 80-yard drive ensued for the Kares, and Tayco's second score of the half made it 21-14 when the extra point was blocked.
Big Bear punted on its next drive and Isaac Holguin capped a 56-yard drive with his second touchdown for a 29-14 lead with 7:05 to play in the game.
"They just wore us down," Griffiths said. "Hopefully we learned about being physical and the need to eliminate mistakes."
