Darts: Eddon ends on downer after good start
Updated 2:59pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in Sport
KEITH EDDON had a busy time in the latest Pickering Horseshoe Individual League night - starting in fine form in fine form but then coming a cropper against the top two.
Eddon kicked things off with a 4-0 win over Steve Colley. He opened with a 21-dart leg on a 72 finish and followed with three 100s for a 19-dart second leg and continued to outscore his opponent.
However, his next contest was against second-placed Steve Taylor and he lost 3-1.
Taylor struck first and, although Eddon levelled with a 19-dart leg including a 140 and a 100, Taylor took the match, aided by some solid finishing on 58 and 57, thanks to two 23-dart legs.
In the last match of the night, Eddon fell 4-0 to table-topper Billy Hague.
The league leader opened up a 2-0 lead as Eddon missed vital doubles and he upped the pace in leg three with a 21-darter including a tidy 76 finish and followed up with a 100 plus a 140 to round off the victory in 19 darts.
In other contests, John Rule beat Adie Bumstead 4-0, his best leg being a 23-darter including two 100s and a 60 finish, while Sarah Hodgson secured the points against Steve Colley with legs of 24 and 21 darts rounded off with a nice 66 finish. Colley won a scrappy last leg to avoid a whitewash.
Terry Harper and Mark Dalby battled out a 2-2 draw with all four legs going against throw.

As the state's highest court last week gave Wellesley College the go-ahead to sell 47 acres north of its campus, a number of neighbors of the property told officials at a community meeting they are worried that traffic, safety, and the environment will worsen if the property is developed.
"We understand you have the right to sell this land, but we're all very concerned about this," resident Charlotte Trubiani said. "I'm concerned about the quantity and quality of the green space, about traffic and safety, and transparency. We would love to be informed as this goes on."
Ben Hammond, the college's vice president for finance and administration, said trustees will explore whether they should sell the so-called North 40 property, assessed at $25 million, to private developers or to the town, and will likely consider long-term leases as they make a decision "in accordance to the trustees' strict fiduciary duties to act in the best interests of the college."
But Hammond said Wellesley College has its own vested interest in what becomes of North 40, because the property is adjacent to a portion of its campus.
"We're not interested in just making a quick buck," he said, noting that the college would be a neighbor for decades to come. "This is very close to campus, which we care deeply about."
'We're not interested in just making a quick buck. This is very close to campus, which we care deeply about.'
College officials are exploring selling the North 40 property, along Weston Road, to raise money for a $365 million plan to renovate and expand existing college buildings during the next decade, Hammond said. The triangular slice of land sits just north of the college's main campus, and is mostly used by local and college gardeners, and for passive recreation.
But town officials said the land could potentially be developed into a new neighborhood of 80 to 100 single-family homes. They have already formed a committee to study whether the town should buy the property for open space, a new school, or another yet-to-be-determined purpose.
The North 40 parcel was donated to the college 140 years ago with the caveat that the college use it only for educational purposes, and prohibiting college officials from selling the land or leasing it for more than seven years at a time, Hammond said.
But last week the state's Supreme Judicial Court ruled that Wellesley College could sell the property despite the original restriction. The favorable court ruling was the first step Wellesley College needed to dispose of the land.
"We were quite surprised by the timing of the Supreme Judicial Court," Hammond said Tuesday to a room packed with more than 150 Wellesley residents, noting that the college had expected the legal process to continue into the summer. He said it was "awkward" that the meeting came on the heels of the court decision, since Wellesley College trustees were still processing the information and did not have many answers about what happens next.
"Although the college is pleased with the court's decision, we wish to emphasize that no decisions have been made regarding the future of the North 40," Hammond said.
Neighbors of the property were not the only local residents with worries. When one dog-walker asked how many other residents take their pups to play at the property, about half of the audience members raised a hand. The response led to an offer from Hammond to allow residents to use the sprawling Wellesley College campus for dog-walking.
"We see ourselves as part of this community," he said. "We want to be a good neighbor."
Hammond said the last town assessment valued the parcel at around $25 million. He also said a new appraisal would likely fetch a different amount, though he would not predict whether it would be more or less.
"It's impossible to know how much until it's done," he said.
Environmental advocates said they still worry about possible development of the land, even though Hammond said the college plans to help find new space for gardening groups. An older resident said she watched Wellesley's green spaces disappear as a concrete suburbia took form, and lamented that Wellesley College's large chunk of open land would likely follow suit.
Gardeners who have plots on North 40 — many of whom belong to the Weston Road Garden Club — said widespread development on the parcel would do damage greater than simply eliminating their planting space.
"I'm concerned about losing the green space," said Margaret Petrovich. "This has a pine forest, and fireflies. These things would not be replaceable."
Other residents said it seems as though the college is rushing into the decision to sell, and they urged officials to think in terms of the next century instead of the next decade.
"I think it's short-sighted to say the current campus is sufficient for the college's needs," one woman said. "In 100 years, Wellesley College might need that land."
But Hammond said the college trustees have studied the campus and its finances and decided "that this land is not needed in the foreseeable future for the college." However, he added that with the leasing restriction lifted, the option to oversee long-term tenants instead of selling the land "is on the table," as is working with town officials, "if they are interested" in acquiring it.
Hammond said the college is also studying the possible sale of the Rollins Lot, a comparatively small space just east of the campus , to help finance the renovation project.
"We're exploring that property as well," he said.
Hammond said college officials hope to wrap up any movement on the so-called fringe properties by roughly 2018 to help finance the massive campus renovation project.
"We want to take the time to do this right," he said, "but we need funding."

Underlying data suggests 2014 growth

Real estate investment trust (REIT) -
Boston Properties Inc.
's (
) second-quarter 2013 FFO (funds from operations) per share of
$1.28 were a penny above the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the
company's guidance of $1.25-$1.27 per share. The results were
aided by lower operating expenses and higher-than-expected
leasing and other fee income.
However, this owner and developer of Class A office properties in
the U.S., experienced a 5.9% fall in FFO per share from $1.36
reported in the year-ago quarter. The company has also lowered
its guidance for 2013 FFO per share.
Behind the Headlines Number
Total revenue during the quarter advanced 9.3% to $515.3 million
from $471.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The quarterly
revenues were well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $470
million. The hike in revenues was primarily attributable to a
significant surge in rental revenues.
Rental revenues climbed 9.9% to $496.3 million from $451.7
million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily
driven by higher base rents and tenant recoveries revenues.
Notable Portfolio Activities
During the quarter, Boston Properties started construction of
Transbay Tower development project's initial phase in San
Francisco, Calif. as well as the 601 Massachusetts Avenue
development project in Washington, D.C. (79% pre-leased).
In addition, Boston Properties acquired the Mountain View
Research Park and Mountain View Technology Park properties from
its Value-Added Fund for approximately $233.5 million in total.
Prior to the purchase, the company's ownership stake in the
properties was around 39.5%.
In the quarter under review, one of its joint venture (JV) in
which Boston Properties has a 60% stake accomplished the sale of
its 125 West 55th Street property - a Class A office property
- in New York City for $470.0 million.
Moreover, two of its JV partners in 767 Venture, LLC (owner of
767 Fifth Avenue (The GM Building) in New York City) transferred
their entire stake in the JV to third parties. As a result, the
JV terms were modified and the move resulted in Boston Properties
gaining significant financial and operating control over 767
Venture, LLC.
Also, a Class A office project - 17 Cambridge Center in
Cambridge, Mass. - was completed during the quarter and fully
placed in service. The property is 100% leased.
Property Update
As of Jun 30, 2013, Boston Properties' portfolio comprised 179
properties spanning approximately 44.8 million square feet,
including 8 properties under development totaling 2.8 million
square feet. Its properties include Class A office space, one
hotel, three residential properties and four retail properties.
In addition, the company has structured parking lots of around
15.7 million square feet.
The overall operating portfolio, which comprised 168 properties
(excluding the two in-service residential properties and the
hotel), was 92.1% leased at the end of the quarter.
During the quarter under review, Boston Properties used its
available cash to pay-off the mortgage loan worth $47.6 million
collateralized by its 140 Kendrick Street property located in
Needham, Mass. The facility was scheduled to mature on Jul 1,
Boston Properties exited second-quarter 2013 with cash and cash
equivalents of about $1.6 billion compared with $909.4 million at
the end of the prior quarter and $1.04 billion as of Dec 31,
Boston Properties expects third-quarter 2013 FFO per share in the
range of $1.27-$1.29. However, the company has lowered its
guidance for 2013 FFO per share to $4.89-$4.94 from the
previously reduced range of $4.97-$5.07. This reflects higher
interest expense and less income for the rest of the year as a
result of the expected sale of 1301 New York Avenue in
third-quarter 2013.
Our Viewpoint
Boston Properties is benefiting from improved core operations and
has been successful in maintaining a strong grip on high
barrier-to-entry geographic markets across the U.S. Yet, the
demand remains moderate for office space with elevated
unemployment levels and adequate space availability, thus
creating pressure on rent and occupancies.
Boston Properties currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Other
REITs that are performing better and are worth a look include
Winthrop Realty Trust
) that has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) as well as
Prologis, Inc.
) and
PS Business Parks Inc.
), both carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
FFO, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs,
is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other
non-cash expenses to net income.

CHIP close to being rid of 6-month waiting period for kids
Mary Wilson, witf Capitol Bureau Chief | 09.26.13
The state Senate has voted to remove a waiting period that has snarled enrollment in the commonwealth's nationally recognized Children's Health Insurance Program.
The stall was a way to ensure employers or consumers wouldn't drop private coverage to enroll in the public program.
The quick Wednesday vote brings an issue one step closer to Gov. Corbett's desk a week after he called on the Legislature to re-authorize the nationally recognized program and eliminate the six-month holding time.
The waiting period applies to children more than two years old, and has been a part of CHIP since the program's creation in 1992. The stall was a way to ensure employers or consumers wouldn't drop private coverage to enroll in the public program.
Sen. Don White (R-Indiana), chairman of the Senate Insurance and Banking Committee, said the coverage gap has long been a source of frustration for lawmakers - and the motivation behind angry correspondence from their constituents.
"What happens if something occurs during that six-month period?" White said.
Under the proposal advanced by the Senate, the period would be eliminated, CHIP would be re-authorized through 2015 (it is extended every two years), and the Children's Health Advisory Council would meet twice a year instead of once annually.
White said many children eligible for CHIP are not enrolled. He hopes the latest bill to reauthorize the program changes that. He said:
"I think this will increase the awareness. There's no excuse for not having 100 percent of the kids who are eligible for this to be enrolled."
Pennsylvania's CHIP was created in 1992 (its Senate sponsor at the time, was Allyson Schwartz, now U.S. congresswoman and Democratic candidate for governor). The program used as the model for the federal CHIP, signed into law in 1997.
Gov. Corbett issued a call to action on CHIP during his announcement of a Medicaid overhaul proposal last week. He highlighted it, among a number of health policy items, and called for the program to be re-authorized and the six-month waiting period to be squashed.
The bill received a unanimous vote in the Senate and heads to the House for a straight approval vote. Its sponsor, Rep. Nick Micozzie (R-Delaware) expects smooth sailing to the governor's desk.
"It would be like voting against apple pie and motherhood, voting against this," Micozzie said.

(TSX: GCL) ("Colabor" or the "Company") today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011."These results fall well short of our expectations," said Claude Gariépy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Colabor. "As synergies from the expansion of our network did not reach anticipated levels, we are accelerating the implementation of our action plan to maximize Colabor's sales in its current markets and to optimize profitability by improving operating efficiency. Though our profit margins are under pressure from the constraints of the current business environment, we intend to redouble our efforts and to become more proactive in achieving adequate profitability without delay.""Also in order to be proactive, the Company made the decision to reduce the dividend paid to shareholders. This reduction will allow Colabor to use the funds to lower its debt, further improve its operations or proceed with synergistic acquisitions, while continuing to offer an attractive dividend to shareholders and being a source of value creation through sustained expansion initiatives," added Mr. Gariépy.

The 24.8% increase was due essentially to the acquisitions of Les Pêcheries Norref Québec Inc. on February 28, 2011, Edfrex Inc. on March 30, 2011 and The Skor Food Group Inc. on May 9, 2011, and to the contribution of RTD Distributions Ltée over a full year in 2011 versus 102 days in 2010. These acquisitions together accounted for $260.1 million in additional sales during 2011. Conversely, the residual effort from the loss of a large supply contract in February 2010, reduced 2011 sales by $8.2 million. Excluding these factors, comparable sales were up 0.9%.Earnings before financial expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were $38.2 million, or 2.91% of sales, compared to $37.5 million, or 3.56% of sales, in 2010. The reduction in percentage of sales reflects stiff competition in the foodservice distribution industry, as distributors reduce their margins to retain customers in an economy that has constrained consumers' discretionary purchasing power.Taking into account deduction of $3.6 million in costs not related to operations, mainly related to acquisitions during the year, net earnings in 2011 were $6.8 million, or $0.30 per share. By way of comparison, 2010 net earnings were $10.1 million, or $0.47 per share, after taking into consideration $1.7 million in costs not related to operations. Cash flow in 2011 was $26.3 million, or $1.15 per share, compared to $30.4 million, or $1.42 per share, in 2010. The ratio of dividend to cash flow per share over the previous 12 months was 94% as at December 31, 2011.SEGMENTED RESULTSSales of the Wholesale segment were $371.4 million in 2011, down from $401.9 million in 2010. The decrease was due mainly to elimination of sales to Colabor divisions, including the acquisitions of 2010 and 2011. Comparable sales were up 2.0% as a result of initiatives to stimulate the sales of selected product categories.Sales of the Distribution segment were $941.9 million in 2011, compared to $650.1 million a year earlier. The $291.8-million increase is attributable to the acquisitions noted above. Comparable sales were up 0.2% under relatively difficult market conditions in most of the Company's target markets.FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTSConsolidated sales for the 112-day period ended December 31, 2011 were $431.7 million, up 24.3% from $347.1 million for the 111-day period ended December 31, 2010. The increase reflects $75.8 million in additional sales from Norref, Edfrex and Skor for the entire quarter and from RTD for 10 more days than in 2010 (112 days versus 102 days). Excluding these items and adjusting for the difference in the number of days, the Company's comparable sales were up 1.6%. Also on a comparable basis, Wholesale segment sales were up 4.4% and Distribution segment sales were flat.As a result of strong competitive pressures and synergies not fully realized, EBITDA for the quarter was $12.5 million, or 2.90% of sales, compared to $14.0 million, or 4.03% of sales, a year earlier. Net earnings were $2.0 million, or $0.09 per share, in 2011 compared to $3.2 million, or $0.14 per share, a year earlier. Cash flow was $8.0 million, or $0.35 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $12.3 million, or $0.54 per share, in the corresponding quarter of 2010.DEVELOPMENT PLAN"Our development plan focuses essentially on increasing the density of our distribution network and improving our purchasing power. On one hand, given the fragmentation of our industry in eastern Canada, we can increase our market share significantly by means of highly synergistic acquisitions. At the same time, Colabor will pursue its aim of offering its customers a one-stop-shop solution by adding related products such as fruits and vegetables, packaging products, natural and organic products and ethnic foods," added Mr. Gariépy.To gain flexibility in the execution of its development plan, the Company made the decision to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share, compared with $0.2691 per share, as of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012."Colabor is also a growth company, as shown by our track record of acquisitions since we went public in June 2005," said Michel Loignon, Colabor Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. "The funds retained will enable Colabor to seize growth opportunities, reduce its debt and invest further in initiatives to improve its operating efficiency and its profitability, creating greater value for its shareholders."FINANCIAL POSITIONAt December 31, 2011, the Company's balance sheet remained sound. The $96.2 million drawn on its authorized bank credit facility of $150.0 million was down from $113.5 million at the end of the third quarter. Also at December 31, 2011, the ratio of total debt to EBITDA of the previous 12 months was 2.69:1.00, an improvement from 2.82:1.00 at the end of the third quarter; while the Company's credit agreement prescribes a ratio below 3.25:1.00. The interest coverage ratio was 4.50:1.00, above the required minimum of 3.50:1.00.Under a normal-course issuer bid that ended October 27, 2011, the Company repurchased 351,800 common shares at an average price of $9.08 per share during 2011. Under an extension of this bid, the Company may repurchase up to 500,000 common shares over the 12-month period ending October 27, 2012.OUTLOOK"Since we do not expect the business environment to improve materially in 2012, improvement in profitability and cash flow will come primarily from the execution of our action plan to optimize operations. Meanwhile, implementation of the development plan will focus on major markets such as Toronto and Montreal, where our market shares are well below potential. Higher sales and greater density will improve profitability by increasing our purchasing power and our absorption of fixed costs," concluded Mr. Gariépy.CONFERENCE CALLColabor will hold a conference call to discuss its results on Thursday, March 22, 2012, beginning at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

The NATO Secretary General also met the Emir of Qatar, Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, to exchange views on current regional developments and ways of deepening cooperation. Mr Rasmussen thanked the Emir for Qatar's significant contribution to Operation Unified Protector and informed him of the decision for a technical rollover of the operation, while keeping the situation in Libya under constant review.
The NATO Secretary General also held talks with the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. Mr Rasmussen voiced appreciation for Ukraine's contribution to NATO-led operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo.
Also on the agenda were areas where cooperation between NATO and Ukraine could move forward. These include tackling emerging security challenges, such as cyber attacks, piracy and, energy security, as well as operations. The Secretary General stressed the importance of the rule of law as a basis for constructive cooperation and a facilitator of Ukraine's European aspirations.
Mr Rasmussen invited President Yanukovych to address the North Atlantic Council in Brussels in order to continue the dialogue between NATO and Ukraine.

Wendy Knowler fights for your rights...
South African Olympic archer Karen Hultzer came out in more ways than one at the London Olympics. She was knocked out early from the competition, held at Lord's, and then on Monday came out as a lesbian.
The world did not end.
Straight people did feel themselves coming over all queer, so to speak.
There was no outbreak of mincing, no plague of women rushing to stores to buy cargo pants and "Dykes on Bikes" T-shirts.
Hultzer just told a gay and lesbian website what all of her friends had known for ages. It was, she said, no big deal.
Cyd Siegler, the co-founder of outsport.com, a website dedicated to reporting about and supporting gay sports men and women who have publically admitted their sexuality, wrote that his organisation had first heard about Hultzer two weeks ago.
"We had published a story about nine openly gay and lesbian Olympians, and a reader said we should reach out to her.
"When we got hold of Hultzer, she was wary of talking for fear that she might get distracted by more media attention ahead of the potential conclusion of her competition on August 3.
"It's understandable: We always recommend athletes come out during their off-season for that very reason.
"We didn't include her on our list of out Olympians, as she had not publicly acknowledged her sexual orientation.
"Until now. Hultzer was kind enough to reach back out to us today after realising the cat was out of the bag.
"She told us to 'go wild'. She also gave Outsports her first public statement about her sexual orientation: 'I am an archer, middle aged and a lesbian.
'I am also cranky before my first cup of coffee. None of these aspects define who I am, they are simply part of me.
'I am fortunate that my sexual identity is not an issue, and I don't suffer the level of discrimination and violence that black lesbians in South Africa do.
'I look forward to the day when this is a non-issue and as relevant as my eye colour or favourite sushi.' "
Indeed, and well said that lady. David Isaacson, from The Times, who interviewed her last week at Lord's – where she would once have not been allowed into the member's section because she's a woman – and said he found her to be a great interview, full of wit.
At 46 she was the oldest South African in Team South Africa and had only been competing in archery since 2007, which is a shorter time for someone who then competed at international level.
Her announcement, reported outlook.com, brought the number of openly homosexual athletes at the Olympics to 22.
In Beijing just 10 were in the open and in Athens only 11.
Hultzer was the one from the African continent, where homosexuality is treated as an abomination.
It's the saddest aspect of our nation that we allow this discrimination to continue without the government or the president condemning it.
I wish I didn't have to write that Hultzer has come out.
I wish it was an announcement that would pass without comment, but in the world we live in, it's a brave and noble statement.
The Olympics are for all of us: "Just to stand on the green of Lord's with a South African flag on my back is an achievement," said Hultzer. Indeed it is.

RadeonHD Driver Takes A Blow In Novell Layoffs
Published on 02 March 2009 09:38 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
42 Comments
Due to the tough economic conditions around the world, Novell last month began slashing some of their workforce. With that reduction, a good percentage of the paid OpenSuSE developers were
laid off
. As a major blow to the development of the open-source ATI graphics stack, one of the key
RadeonHD driver
developers has been lost. The key xf86-video-radeonhd developers from
the start of this driver
have been
Luc Verhaegen
Matthias Hopf
, and
Egbert Eich
. Well, there are now just two key Novell developers left working on the RadeonHD project.
Luc Verhaegen has been let go from Novell. As was publicly announced this morning in
the form of a Git commit
, Luc Verhaegen is no longer working for Novell. While he was one of the few X developers working on OpenSuSE and also responsible for the
VIA Unichrome driver
, Novell decide to eliminate him. Due to limited access now to ATI hardware, it's unlikely that we will see any future work from him in the RadeonHD driver.
Besides his coding, Luc also was critical to the organization and success of the the X.Org development room at
. With Luc no longer working for OpenSuSE and possibly not even contributing to X.Org again, X@FOSDEM could be in serious jeopardy.
Best of luck to Luc Verhaegen and his future endeavors. The RadeonHD driver is now at a loss.

BLACKFOOT — Despite a down economy, one local business has been growing and is now looking to hire at least 50 new employees.
Premier Technology, Inc., a manufacturing, engineering and construction firm, has recently received several new contracts, requiring the company to seek additional employees.
Premier Technology has partnered with the Idaho Department of Labor to host job fairs throughout the state. The fair in Blackfoot is today from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Department of Labor, 155 N. Maple St.
IDAHO FALLS — Coming into the High Country Conference 4A district tournament the Blackfoot Broncos sat in the sixth seed. For most of the first game against Bonneville on Tuesday evening, Blackfoot looked every bit of a higher seed as they took it to the Bees for most of the game.
Unfortunately the Broncos could not hold onto a lead, falling 25-22.
"Bonneville only had 4 kills on us in that first game and we gave up some valuable points," Blackfoot head coach Lorin Lilya said. "We just have to get rid of the errors, that is where our main problem is."
Sadie Sydenham, 81, of Lehi, Utah, passed away Monday, Oct. 18, 2010, at the Greenwood Manor in Lehi surrounded by her loving family.
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010, at the Riverside Thomas Cemetery. Family will meet with friends and relatives from 1 to 1:30 p.m. prior to services at Hawker Funeral Home in Blackfoot. Condolences may be sent to the family at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The morning announcement at MVMS declared, "We're sending our principals to the tropics; please make it like paradise for them."
In the morning, students greeted the principals with leis, lounge chairs and orange-pineapple drinks.


text: South Pole's neutron detectors could help forecast space weather Science 09 July 12 by Duncan Geere Tweet NASA/SDO/AIA/Helioviewer Solar storms are notoriously difficult to predict, but a new application of the South Pole's neutron sensors could help humanity take shelter.These detectors are normally used to estimate the rate at which cosmic rays strike the Earth's atmosphere, slam into the nucleii of the gas atoms floating around up there, and send the neutrons within spinning towards the surface.However, a team of space physicists has spotted that they could also be used as an early warning system by detecting incoming protons from solar storms. They compared the detectors' data with data collected from radiation sensors on an Earth-orbiting satellite during a series of particularly strong solar flares which occurred between 1989 and 2005, and found that they could predict the intensity of the storm.Here's how they do it. From the neutron data, the team is able to work out the number of protons arriving with energies between 165 million and 500 million electron volts (which arrive at the sensors, on average, 95 minutes after the first protons of a flare reach Earth) and the number of slower-moving protons arriving with energies between 40 million and 80 million electron volts (which tend to arrive, on average, 71 minutes later).By comparing the ratio of those numbers, the team can then estimate the maximum amount of radiation damage that the flare might bring, allowing them to send warning signals to space agencies, so they can shut down satellites or tell astronauts to take cover."This is a very interesting and very intriguing piece of work," said Louis Lanzerotti, a space physicist at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. He added that the technique provides "one more arrow in the quiver" of scientists looking to predict space weather. "This lets scientists estimate reasonably well what peak [radiation] intensity will be," he said. Longer-term, crewed interplanetary craft could be protected by miniaturised sensors of the same type installed on a spaceship's hull.

Excellent performance and vocals. The only difficult thing was parking for the event since Comic-Con was also going on.

Given that we're back at the point where we have a new coaching staff and need at least one quarterback out of the draft...it's not all that surprising how much virtual ink we've used up talking about how to get it right this time. With that, let's take a quick look at history and what led up to the last time we drafted a quarterback in the first round.
Flash back to 2011. The 2010 season has been an unmitigated disaster as a roster built to 'win now' by Brad Childress and the TOA has shown that the window was closed. They had also given up on Childress and his "my way or the highway" style of coaching. Then, in the middle of the season (after giving up draft picks for Randy Moss) Randy Moss has a tiny (for him, anyways) rant and Childress summarily cuts him. Less than one week later, Childress himself was also out on the street with Leslie Frazier promoted from defensive coordinator to interim head coach. Brett Favre suffered a concussion and his consecutive starts streak ended...and he never took another game snap again. Sage Rosenfels was a free agent and the only quarterback left on the roster was Joe Webb
Then another quirk happened when the CBA expired and, rather than enter into real negotiations right away, the owners locked out the players. This meant that teams (and coaching staffs) were not allowed any contact with the players at all. No contact with free agents, no contact with players already on their team...nothing. No offseason workouts, no interviews, no film sessions and no floating ideas. In fact, the only people that the teams were allowed contact with were those who were entering the NFL draft since they were not yet players and, therefore, not yet members of the NFL Player's Association.
With Favre retired (for good, it appears) and Rosenfels a free agent (and off limits), the Vikings were down to an extremely athletic but very raw quarterback in Joe Webb...and nobody else. With no chance to sign a free agent quarterback and drafting at #12, the Vikings were committed to drafting a quarterback high. We were also stuck hoping that a quarterback we liked fell to number 12 since we were far from being the only team that needed a quarterback. Then the draft happened and the two quarterbacks that the Vikings seemed most interested in (Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert) were both gone before #12. An attempt to trade back failed and so the Vikings turned in their draft card bearing two words we know all too well today: Christian Ponder.
The kicker for all this was that the minute we drafted Ponder, we were no longer allowed any contact with him since he was now an NFL player. There may have been a proviso put in place where teams were allowed one week of contact with their new rookies but that was about enough to give them a playbook and not much else. Fast forward to August, when the new CBA was signed and a free agency unlike any other we've seen was unleashed. The Vikings still needed a veteran presence at quarterback and were hoping to get someone with one year left in the tank. Donovan McNabb was that guy although we all know that his tank was bone-dry. Then, our starting left tackle (Mount McKinney) showed up morbidly overweight. He had sworn all offseason that he'd actually show up in shape but the only shape he showed up in was "round." Reports were that, rather than being close to his reporting-in weight of 320 (I think) he showed up tipping the scales at over 400 pounds. He was also so out of shape that he could not participate in team drills and soon after, the Vikings cut him and went with Charlie Johnson at left tackle. Five weeks into the season, McNabb was benched for good (never took another NFL snap) and the Ponder era began.
So, what does the 2011 situation have in common with today? Not much. For one, we have two quarterbacks on the roster who have proven that their ceiling is either decent or good (you can guess which one is which) with both of their floors being terrible. We have a new coaching staff with some decent to very good pedigrees-including one of the best offensive coordinators in the NFL. We have an offense that was league average and a defense that was the second or third worst in team history. Saying that we're as locked in to drafting a quarterback in the first round as we were in 2011 is pretty inaccurate.
Another difference is the effect that the new CBA has had. The limiting of rookie contracts means that the real money is in a player's second contract. So, college players (and their advisors) are of the mindset that they must get into the NFL as soon as possible so that they are able to cash in at a younger age. The result? Today, there is an NFL record of underclassmen who declared for the draft. This means fewer seniors next year and, therefore, talent that is more raw than polished. It is no longer a major pull to return to college and contend for the #1 pick since that #1 pick's contract is no longer equivalent to winning the lottery. In years past, sophomores declaring for the draft were frowned upon as having major red flags but now a prospect by the name of Johnny Manziel has done exactly that and is being projected to go in the top 10-if not first overall. In the past: teams would say that he was after the money and nothing else. Now, although that fact is actually even more true, we're not hearing any criticism of that nature.
We have discussed the relative merits and downsides of drafting a quarterback at #8 ad nauseum. One of the prevailing schools of thought cites the increasing success rate of quarterbacks with relation to how highly they were drafted. This culminates in a roughly 56% chance of success with the #1 overall pick being spent on a quarterback. But even this analysis is based on the outcome and doesn't delve into the details of why a certain pick was spent on a certain quarterback. In fact, I'd say that the chances of success are higher when a team drafts the right guy for the system that they plan to run. The reason that success rate climbs with the relative draft slot can therefore be attributed to the higher odds of the right guy being available...culminating with the #1 pick where, by definition, everybody is available. Which really begs the question: "Is it the draft slot alone or the player(s) available at that draft slot that determines success?"
I am of the opinion that the Ponder pick was desperation but could still pay off in some aspect. No, he probably won't ever be the elite quarterback that everybody wants but he could be a bridge-if he beats out Cassel for exactly that position. Whether that happens is, thankfully, not up to us. Honestly, I trust Norv Turner with this decision far more than I'd trust anybody else since it is Norv's job to find the best guy on the team to run his offense.
My next opinion is that we should not be looking at drafting one of the "big three" based off of whichever one is available. We need to decide which one is the best and pursue that guy. Maybe decide on a second-best who is worth the pick but, after that, we need to have somebody at another position targeted. We can't draft a guy simply because he's a highly rated quarterback. We need to draft a guy because he's right for the team. And I'm also of the belief that we have too many holes to fill to afford giving up the picks in a trade up into the top 3.
So that's my opinion with drafting a quarterback this year. I hope our coaching staff and front office set their hearts on one guy and take him if he's available. If he's not then I hope they either trade down or draft some other position. Drafting a quarterback for the sake of drafting a quarterback is what got us Ponder. We don't have that same desperate situation this time around and so we should not do the same thing. We have multiple needs all over the team and only a quarterback that our coaching staff truly believes in is a better pick than a guy who would address one of those other needs.

Ken Lavigne
CORNWALL, Ontario - That's Canadian Tenor, with a capital "T".
Ken Lavigne, whose vocal prowess shot him to acclaim as one of the original Canadian Tenors in 2004, will be performing April 5 at Aultsville Theatre at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25.
The performance is the Cornwall Concert Series' third presentation for this year's season and promises to be one which will leave in its wake an awestruck audience revelling in Lavigne's vocal interpretations, which include everything from ballads and musical theatre, to familiar classics and operatic arias.
The Victoria, B.C native honed his musical chops at the University of Victoria and the Victoria Conservatory of Music, before heading across the pond to study in Wales with Stuart Burrows.
Later, there were studies in New York with Joan Dorneman, before his 1998 debut in Massenet's Werther, followed by major roles in Nabuco, La Traviata, Cenerentolla and The Barber of Seville with Pacific Opera Victoria, the Portland Opera and the Burnaby Lyric Opera.
In 2007 he shifted his focus to independently producing solo cross-over concerts. Without question, one of his personal highlights and accomplishments must include a performance at New York City's Carnegie Hall where he was backed-up by the New York Pops. Since then, he has regularly performed with David Foster.
Tickets for Lavigne's performance are $25. They may be purchased in advance (cash or cheque) at TD Canada Trust, Cornwall Square; Caisse populaire de Cornwall, 840 Pitt St. and 201 Montreal Road; and at the Cornwall and the Counties Tourism, 11 Water St. West. Individual tickets may be purchased at the door based on availability.
The Quartetto Gelato will complete this year's Cornwall Concert Series with a performance on May 31. This show is sure to sell out and tickets may also be purchased in advance for $25 at the above locations. For further information, visit www.cornwallconcertseries.com

1. Miami businessman Claudio Osorio will stand before a federal judge Wednesday to receive his prison sentence — likely to be about 10 years — for stealing millions of dollars from investors and blowing that money to live way beyond his means. Osorio, who once hobnobbed with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at fundraisers in his waterfront home, pleaded guilty in February to three conspiracy offenses involving wire fraud and money laundering.
2. With their latest loss, the Miami Marlins locked up their position in last place in the National League East. With four more defeats, the team will have 100 losses on the season.
3. Florida International University is offering a peek into an undersea research lab in the Florida Keys. The school, which will release more details Wednesday, took over operations at Aquarius Reef Base in January. The lab sits about 60 feet below the ocean's surface, a few miles off Key Largo. The federal government owns the lab but cut its budget last year.
4. More storms are is expected Wednesday, with the rain chance at 70 percent. Thursday will serve up more of the same, with the weather clearing some on Friday and Saturday.

Citrus-Spiced Roast Chicken Recipe
I am the designated Thanksgiving host in my family because of my chipotle citrus roast turkey. Even finicky eaters love it. That's why I use the same recipe for chicken, so we can enjoy it year-round. —Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 4-1/2 teaspoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (4 pounds)
- Preheat oven to 350°. Mix marmalade, chipotle peppers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cumin. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from chicken; rub mixture under the skin.
- Place chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under chicken; tie drumsticks together. Rub skin with remaining salt.
- Roast 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads 180°. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.)
- Remove chicken from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Remove and discard skin before serving. If desired, skim fat and thicken pan drippings for gravy. Serve with chicken. Yield: 6 servings.

Houston Texans - ?? :: Jacksonville Jaguars - ??
Keep On Fighting:
The 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars are finished for the season. This Monday night game is all about the 2009 squad and the players that will join the reinvention of the franchise. Any player worth keeping will recognize the importance of building as much positive tape as possible, especially considering the heat that will be on this team to quickly build off the remains of this season. Jack Del Rio will be squarely on the "hot seat" in 09, he's got no reason to keep anyone who will keep him from keeping Wayne Weaver happy.
That said, this is still a divisional game, one where Houston would love to embarrass the Jaguars in front of the world and seize the AFC South "Third Place" title. It's "Battle Red Day", which means the Texans will be all Jacked up and ready to play. There's simply too much pride and ego at stake on Monday Night for the Jaguars to do anything other than come out fighting.
Injuries and Etc.
No major injuries on the Jaguars to report. David Garrard is probable with a back injury. That injury might have something to do with how often David is hit and ends the play on the ground, something that the Houston Texans can't get away with. Rashean Mathis and Dennis Northcut are probable as well, with Troy Williamson the only questionable injury.
Houston's injury mystery is over Quarterback Matt Schaub who could return to the field after missing most of the season.
One Matchup to Watch:
DE Derrick Harvey versus LT Duane Brown: Can Derrick Harvey beat a rookie? A rookie that was probably drafted a round too high? If he can't get some pressure against Brown, then there's probably something wrong with Harvey. It's just that simple.
I'll be back later today. I've been traveling all week and have to go catch a flight as I write this.
