Alex Ovechkin missed Wednesday's game due to a lower body injury, but the Washington Capitals star is expected to return for Friday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens. He skated a bit at practice on Friday before making the decision to play in Friday night's contest.
Ovechkin told the media that was he was "ready to go" following Friday's practice, according to SB Nation DC.
"We just try a couple days ago skating and I don't feel well," Ovechkin said. "Last night, I don't feel. Today, I feel normal."
Just to be certain that nothing was lost in translation, Dale Hunter confirmed that Ovechkin will be in the lineup against the Canadiens.

The Utah Jazz recently held discussions with Houston about swapping Andre Kirilenko for Tracy McGrady, Tim Buckley of the Deseret News is reporting.
Utah also appear to no longer be interested in the trade due to McGrady's health situation and contract status.
McGrady underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in May of 2008 and microfracture surgery on the same problematic knee late last February, and is now in a contract year.

Well all i have to say is good thing that did not happen...dont mind trading t-mac but for kirilenko...NO

My Stove: A Love Story
One woman, one troubled appliance, and their journey to happily ever after.
Antique stove heaven is a gem of sparkling cleanliness in notoriously rough South Central Los Angeles—close to the site where
the 1992 Rodney King–inspired riots began. Family owned for 27 years, it sells and services such beautiful, immaculately restored
old stoves that walking into its showroom feels akin to walking into a stove museum. I went to the office, described what
I needed, and was told to go in the back and see Diamond. The back was a cavernous workroom filled with decrepit, dead, and
dying stoves and parts waiting for triage. At the far end, standing at a workbench, was a strong, handsome man, deep in concentration
on his work: Diamond Jones, nephew of the owner. When he turned his pale, soulful eyes on me, I was overcome with self-consciousness.
But that was nothing compared with what happened when he started telling me how to clean my valves.
I stood close to Diamond as he peered at the tiny shaft, which breaks down into about 100 little pieces. (Well, it was probably six or seven, but it felt like 100.) He showed me how to deconstruct the shaft, clean it, oil it, and put it back together. Then he made me try.
"I don't think I can do this," I said, awed by what he had just done.
"Of course you can," he said, soothingly.
"I'm afraid," I whispered.
"There's nothing to be afraid of," he murmured. Mind you, Diamond wasn't flirting with me—not at all. But that didn't stop me from going a little weak in the knees.
I returned home to New York, where my husband had been dutifully feeding our two daughters toaster-oven meals for a month. After he had disassembled the stove and managed to find a valve, he couldn't figure out how to put the whole thing back together. He had called Dan for help, but the sight of the stove's jumbled mess had put Dan over the edge; he had stormed out muttering obscenities.
I tried not to panic: There was work to be done, and I had to do it. Nearly paralyzed with anxiety, I took apart the first valve. Several pieces into the job, I got lost and called Diamond. He guided me through the process, and then I was off on my own, taking apart, cleaning, and reconstituting all five burner valves. It was a triumph. If I could do that, I determined, I could probably do anything. Well, except reassemble the entire appliance.
If repairing my stove could make me feel this good about myself, I thought it could have the same salutary effect on poor, beleaguered Dan. I called him and explained how he was the only one who could put the stove back together for me. The flattery worked, though the process was excruciating. I stood beside him every step of the way, praising his acumen and cheering him on as he threatened to give up. Finally, Dan put the last of the pieces back in place and lit up with pride. He was a new man.
Life with my stove went along swimmingly for several years—until the pilot light stopped working once more. I called Dan yet again to come fix it, but the appliance company told me Dan had quit. Stricken with guilt, I felt sure it was my fault. Following the inevitable post-adrenaline crash that ensued after tending to my stove, he probably couldn't face another appliance and ended his career. Plus, he had put out the word about me; the company told me that no one on their staff could fix my stove anymore.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Percy Harvin didn't participate in Minnesota's mandatory minicamp practice Wednesday afternoon, a few hours after requesting a trade from the Vikings.
Harvin did go through a light walk-through practice with the team Wednesday morning, but he wasn't present for the longer afternoon session that he participated in Tuesday.
Harvin has requested a trade for unspecified reasons. Vikings GM Rick Spielman says the team has no interest in trading its star receiver.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier declined to comment on Harvin's absence from practice and wouldn't say if he expects the star receiver to return on Thursday for the final day of practice.
Frazier says he remains confident the issues will be resolved before the team reports to training camp at the end of July.

Select Route:
An awesome warmup, and a good intro to bouldering for your trad friends who continually whine about how short and crimpy and stupid bouldering problems are. Start underclinging the manatee's upper lip, traverse right across it, and then work your way up diagonally to the right on flakes and hand jams until you reach the flared hand/fingers crack that goes straight up to the top of the boulder. Amazingly friendly-textured rock for jams. Don't use the boulder behind you for feet (though you can step off onto it at any time). There's a great fist jam-to-flared-hand-jam sequence at the transition from traverse to straight-up exit. Make up your own sequences (eg, cut out flake "jugs" and do more jams) - can make the problem harder and more fun.
Right under the manatee's nose, then continuing up and right around the side of its head.
Couple pads and a spotter can be helpful while working out the sequence. After you've got it dialed, you'll probably prefer to do it without - falls could be ugly in the corner where the ground drops away over jumbled boulders, but it's pretty secure once you've figured it out.

text: Put me back in the ride the season out with Melo camp. As the game against Orlando showed, with the Nuggets missing their starting PG, PF and back-up center, they still clobbered one of the best in the East. Add a healthy CB, Kmart and Bird, this team has a legitimate shot at the NBA Finals. How often have the Nuggs made the NBA Finals in the last 35 years??? NEVER!! Rather than taking 10 cents on the dollar for Melo, let's go for a championship this year with him! If the Nuggs have a special playoff run, Melo would be very hard pressed not to sign an extension with the Nuggs. He can't risk taking a beating under the new CBA. If he takes less money to join the Knicks, so be it. Under the new CBA, the Nuggs would be well-positioned to build anew with lots of cap space, a great coach and a winning resume. Let's not tank this season because the NY media lusts to have a relevant team in NYC again.

Happy 49th birthday Chris Cornell! Read our 2012 interview where Cornell talks about the Soundgarden reunion album and the band's musical legacy.
The recent landmark ruling on same-sex marriage by the Supreme Court has many people celebrating – and what better way to do that than with a big, lavish wedding?
While there are several high-profile gay and lesbian characters, even couples, on TV these days, there have been few on-screen nuptials over the years. But perhaps that will quickly change, now that same-sex marriage is becoming legal in a growing number of states. Take a look at 10 of the best same-sex ceremonies on TV so far.

Obit of the Day: James Gandolfini
James Gandolfini, who won three Emmy awards for his portrayal as gangster Tony Soprano, has reportedly died at the age of 51. Mr. Gandolfini was at the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Italy.
A New Jersey native, Mr. Gandolfini started on Broadway, debuting in the 1992 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire which starred Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange. A year later he earned big screen fame in his role as Virgil in True Romance.
But he earned the role of his career when he was cast as the leader of the New Jersey crime family on HBO's drama, The Sopranos, in 1999. Over the show's six seasons (but eight years). He would earn six Emmy nods for his performance as Tony Soprano and took home three trophies. He would also earn a Golden Globe, and another three Globe nominations.
Unfortunately for Mr. Gandolfini, who according to his IMDB.com biography has some reservations about playing such a violent character which stereotyped Italian-Americans, he would find it difficult to break free of Tony. He would be featured in several films and television movies but never found a star vehicle.
Mr. Gandolfini has a teenage son, Michael, from his first marriage, and a daughter who will turn one in October 2013.

It is my pleasure to announce some great news for 8 Points, 9 Seconds: Starting today, The Miller Time Podcast is joining the team.
We have been listening to David Searle and Jon LaFollette's podcast all year and continually been impressed with how well they cover the team. In my view, they talk about the Pacers in a very similar way to how we have always tried to discuss your favorite professional basketball team. It seemed like a perfect match
So we reached out to the guys a few weeks ago to ask — nay, beg — them to partner up with us. They agreed, and here we are. The first joint 'cast is now live for your listening pleasure, and they will continue to do two podcasts per week (generally every Monday and Friday) going forward.
We're super excited. These guys are awesome. We think you will agree.
And we think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

And even more importantly, please offer your ratings and reviews on iTunes so that the Miller Time Podcast can rise to where it belongs: atop Apple's rankings for Pacers podcasts.
As for today's 'cast — episode 37 for Miller Time Podcast but the first under our new Voltron-like collaboration — Dave and Jon geek out over Paul George's Internet-breaking dunk from Saturday's win over the Clippers, preview games against Golden State and the feel-good Phoenix Suns, play a game that unfortunately name-checks Jim O'Brien, and offer a terrible impression of Christopher Walken.
Welcome to a new era for 8p9s. We hope you love the show as much as we do.

The first of the two NFL conference championship games is known: the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons, who just beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-28 on a last-second Matt Bryant field goal. The Falcons led 20-0 at the half, but somehow managed to turn that into a 28-27 deficit with 30 seconds remaining. That magnificent choke job was avenged by Matt Ryan and the Falcons, though, who got into field goal range for Matt Bryant to win the game.
The 49ers will be looking to avenge last year's playoff defeat to the New York Giants. Collin Kaepernick turned in an amazing performance against the Packers, but can he do the same thing against the Atlanta Falcons? I hope so, at least. But it should be a good game, regardless: we'll have two physical, hard-nosed teams going up against each other with similar game plans: run the ball, create big plays in the passing game. Head on over to the Falcholic for all your Falcons coverage, while Niners Nation should have you covered on the 49ers.
We'll see the two teams face off at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 20.

I saw your good reporting on the NH bit wish you would have mentioned that the Detroit mayor is a much admired Detroit Piston all star, who has likely foregone business opportunities to give back to his community. Was it the DC office that pinched your reporting. My Hope is that the Michigan governor's answer will be a bulldozer blade. To be transparent I was in the class of 66 at Syracuse U. Dave Bing was so amazing.

I listened to your report about the state takeover of Detroit, and you referred to the person who would take control as "he or she", twice. A small innocuous change that all women reporters/ commentators should make is to say " she or he". Please try it and persuade as many women as you can to refer to gender first.
Please & thanks

Remember Google Buzz? Eh? Remember it? The social network style chatty-thing that was going to be a Twitter-like tool to allow us all to communicate etc.? Use it? Nahh, nor me. Well, you can scratch it off the 'To-do' list because it's gone away, gone the way of the Dodo. As a method of social networking (or whatever it was) it is no more.
Tossed into the rubbish bin like so many other failed attempts to get the masses to interact using a new, more streamlined and efficient platform. Problem was, though, nobody really used it. I have to admit, I'd never buzzed a single thing, not a dickie-bird. Never had cause to. I use Twitter a bit, but even that takes up valuable time I could be doing something else (like talking to people, interacting, having a lot of fun etc.) and so adding yet another social network to my list just doesn't seem worth it to be honest. But Buzz promised a lot to a lot of people, so why has it now been shot in the head?
Well it has always been dogged with problems from the day it was launched. The main issue being privacy and the fact that Google seemed to have you 'following' lists of people that it decided you should follow based on your contact list.
It also featured heavily in Inbox integration. You could see your Buzz feeds and emails side-by-side. This seemed to be Google's attempt at Inbox domination, you should see everything in one place (much like the ill fated 'Wave' experiment) but to most this was just confusing. Personally, I couldn't see the point of it at all, and I believe there is a deeper reason why people can't be bothered with it…
Show me the money
I work in IT doing this SEO and web lark thingy. It's a great place to be, I love it and to keep things interesting I post to Twitter and Facebook, but I do that for a reason – I do it because there's some marketing to be done. I do it to get exposure for my business or to get links for my website or to build trust amongst other marketeers. I do it because by using these channels to build a rapport with people then I will probably be able to spread news of my business in places I wouldn't have had chance to before.
In short, I do it to make money.
Buzz needed people to sign up to a Google account and whilst it appears that world+dog do have an account, many people, some of whom I want to engage with, don't. This limits my network.
Facebook and Twitter are independent. You don't need to be in any kind of club in order to join their services and the entry exam is easy. Sweet.
So, I can use Facebook and Twitter (via other routes if needs be) to get my message across and it's easy. This blog posts straight to Facebook, no messin' from me, it just does it. I could probably do the same with Buzz, but why bother?
Marketing is about playing the numbers and for me and a lot of other people in the industry, the numbers just didn't add up and so Google is going to strangle it.
Bye bye Buzz, whoever you were.

Gemstones are more than just shiny, colored stonessome of them also have certain optical "special effects." These special effects, which are inherent in the mineral, are called "phenomena" by gemologists. Skillful gemcutting and techniques of the jewelry designer can bring out these special effects to their fullest, when desirable, or hide them when undesirable.
Most of these special effects are shown in the gallery of precious stone optical effects.
1. Fire
The special effect called fire by diamond cutters is due to dispersion, the ability of the stone to draw light apart into its constituent colors. This works just like the glass prism that unfolds sunlight into the rainbow by refraction. The fire of a diamond refers to the coloration of its bright highlights. Of the major gemstone minerals, only diamond and zircon have strong enough refractive properties to produce distinct fire, but other stones such as benitoite and sphalerite show it too.
2. Schiller
Schiller is also known as play of color, in which the interior of a stone displays flickers of color as it is moved in the light. Opal is especially valued for this trait. There is no actual object inside the stone. This special effect arises from light interference within the microstructure of the mineral.

A little about me...
OK, borrowed this from someone, thought it was a great concept, so here goes:
Take the 1st letter from ALL 15 sentences below and write it down please. You'll have to read carefully, and please understand, it's not saying I'm conceited.
Texas is my Native home, Plano to be exact.
Xtra careful on my choices in life, " keep it simple stupid" is what I live by.
Zealous with open minded people.
Enthusiastic about Photography.
Know right from wrong, but still have that testosterone problem also. :-)
Enthusiastic about Photography, still, LOL.
At times very sarcastic, other times very quiet.
Truth and Honesty, can't have anything less than that.
Happiness felt through the 'Pupil Of The Eyes' is such an awesome feeling.
Open minded to most things in life.
Totally into PDA within reason and respectfulness.
My ego is unlike any other male, having a happy lady walking beside me in life builds my ego.
A people watcher has made me see things that I do want and things that make me sad.
Into eye contact, for it's the truth I seek, and the heart I desire.
Love will be plentiful to her that seeks my heart over everything else.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would post something here, but the site won't allow anything over 1250 characters. I would say message me, but I seen a few profiles that said if those words were used to pass 'em up. So.....If you really want to know what it says, message me from the " A little about me..." section above. Tim
I'd just like to add...
Sorry Ladies, No Harley until I win the Lottery. And you might wanna know upfront, got quite a few missing teephus. No dentures, until I win the Lottery. If you feel the need to post pics in lingerie that doesn't fit the body it was intended to fit on, or pics of you in any lingerie, stop reading and move on. I am clean and respectful, please be the same. If you feel the need to show off your, please stop reading and move on. There's a time to be sexy. But not on a dating site. As much as I like sex, again, there's an appropriate place and time for all that. I may look like a party man. But beer guzzling days, nights, weekends is not me. I have seen the negative effects of alcohol and choose not to go that road. I can socially drink beer, but that's it. Not a party animal. I am height, weight proportionate, please be the same also. Can not view "likes, flirts, or messages."

> Photos: New attractions coming to Six Flags parks in 2012
The 400-foot-tall Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom will be attached to both sides of the Valencia amusement park's 415-foot-tall Superman: Escape from Krypton coaster tower.
» Introducing the Shop O Matic blog for coupons, sales, freebies and bargains from around the Lehigh Valley. Click and start saving today!
After ascending to the top of the new drop tower, Lex Luthor riders will freefall for five seconds at speeds reaching 85 miles per hour before a magnetic braking system stops the drop.
Themed to Superman's arch-enemy, the Lex Luthor drop tower will feature green and purple floorless gondolas with riders sitting eight abreast.
Superman trains will rocket up and down the L-shaped shuttle coaster track at 100 mph while Lex Luthor riders rise and fall nearby on the new drop tower built by Switzerland-based Intamin.
Magic Mountain's Lex Luthor ride bests the reigning 390-foot-tall Giant Drop at Dreamworld amusement park in Australia, which has reigned as the tallest drop tower since debuting in 1998. Giant Drop also reaches an approximate speed of 85 mph.
In 2007, Magic Mountain removed an earlier generation of an Intamin-built vertical drop ride known as Freefall after 25 years of service.

Even as workers finish the painstaking task of painting the ice, hundreds of job-seekers came to the Tampa Bay Times Forum looking for work Thursday, hoping to score big.
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Tampa Bay Times Forum held a part-time job fair to fill positions for the upcoming Lightning hockey season as well as other Times Forum events.
The Lightning and Times Forum is hiring for a number of positions in the newly redesigned all-inclusive Chase Club as well as VIP suites, including:
"We will fill all positions, from housekeeping, cleaning to chefs, bartenders, suite attendants, club attendants," said Keith Harris, who's head of human resources at the Forum. "On the application we look for it to be complete, complete job history, obviously, we look for how well the information is portrayed, but we also for, from a face to face perspective, people who are energetic, people who smile, this is the hospitality industry, so we look for people have service experience and are just excited about service."
"I came to get a job. I'm not looking for a job; I came to get one," said job-seeker Steven Raines. "I'm here to help and root 'em on, too, during the season, so we can win another Stanley Cup."
All positions are part-time and offer competitive hourly wages with incentives. All candidates are asked to dress professionally and to bring five copies of their resume, along with written references. And if you missed this fair, there will be another one in a couple of weeks.

So, Dan Hamhuis is down again, eh? Okay, sounds like he's feeling better, but concussion protocol is being followed. Wasn't he already down with a concussion this season, or was that someone else? No matter, because this just proves that our defence has been a rotating door this season. For example, reports are coming out that Alexander Edler and Andrew Alberts will rejoin the team come April. Well, April 1st is on Friday, so we're almost there. Also of note, Mikael Samuelsson was taking a couple rounds on the 4th line this morning, so he's also close to returning (not for tomorrow against the Predators, though). There is an update from brother-in-law Steve Nash saying that Manny Malhotra is having eye surgery tomorrow, so our wishes are going that way. As for the team as a whole, the Canucks head to Nashville to play tomorrow.
- Canucks.com recap of last night's game.
- Sunday's results, Monday's updates, and Tuesday's schedule. Only two games today involve the West. 8th-place Blackhawks face division-rival Red Wings, and Ducks take on Avalanche to keep ahead of Chicago.
- Conference standings. Hey look, another team joined the century mark!
- NHL's 3 Stars of the Week were Ryan Miller, Corey Perry, and Henrik Lundqvist.

Women's Tennis Aims to Repeat as NWC Tourney Champs and Much More in 2013
News Release Date:
Friday, February 1, 2013
As the defending Northwest Conference Tournament champs, the Whitman Women's Tennis team enters the 2013 season as one of the conference favorites, returning most of the key members from last year's squad while adding some promising new faces.
|Head Coach John Hein
In addition to having his most talented team, fifth-year head Coach John Hein believes this year's team has terrific chemistry. "One of our greatest strengths, "he notes, "is how together we are . . . that everyone is on the same page and that everyone enjoys working together. We're really close and I think that makes it easy to deal with the challenges, and it also makes it fun to do the hard work that we know we need to do to get better."
Whitman is looking to improve on a season that not only saw them win the tournament crown, but also, finish 10 – 2 in the NWC standings.
The Missionaries, who finished 15 – 4 overall last year, return key contributors Alyssa Roberg (Sr, Scotts Valley, CA), and twin sisters Courtney and Morgan Lawless – both sophomores from Austin, Texas -- to the top of the singles line-up. Coach Hein says anyone of the three could fill the No. 1 singles spot. Roberg and C. Lawless shared the duties last year and that well could be the same scenario this season.
Coming off a great fall indoor season, Courtney Lawless enters the Spring campaign ranked No. 3 in singles in the West Region. She finished off the fall by winning the Western Region championships. Hein talks about Lawless' strengths, "Courtney is a very smart player and I ultra-competitive. Her game has great variety. She changes the spins on her ball a lot and has terrific feel for the court. She uses her weapons really well."
Courtney Lawless, So.
Roberg had a promising fall campaign also until she was sidelined due to illness, but Coach Hein expects her back and ready to go when the team season begins. "Alyssa does so much for this team", notes Hein. "Between her leadership and her talent, she is always finding ways to contribute."
Alyssa Roberg, Sr.
Rounding out the top three in singles is Morgan Lawless, who also vaulted her ranking to No. 6 in the region after a great fall season. "Like all of our players, Morgan is a great team player", says Hein. "She could be a No. 1, but if she plays at No. 3, she will be a great No. 3. And her determination is unparalleled. She just never gives up on anything."
Although the 4 – 6 spots have not, yet, been set, freshman Jenna Dobrin (Camarillo, CA) will be in the mix and could see a lot of time at the No. 4 spot. Standing at 6'0", Dobrin is not only the tallest Missionary but she is also the only lefty. Dobrin was a leader on four-straight league championship teams at Rio Mesa High school, and according to Hein, has brought her winning attitude and training habits to Walla Walla. "She's imposing on her serve because of her height and being a lefty, but she is also a very smart player and stays very composed", adds Hein.
Morgan Lawless, So.
A number of players will see action in the 4 – 6 rotation, including Kate Kunkel-Patterson (Sr, Yakima, WA) and Madison Webster (So, Long Beach, CA) who both saw significant action in singles last season, along with newcomer Kate Rubinstein (Fr, Portland, OR).
"We know were competitive in singles", notes Hein. "How we compete in doubles could define our season." And that definition looks promising.
Currently, C. Lawless and Roberg are ranked No. 1 in the region after finishing fourth at Nationals this fall and ending last season ranked No. 10 in all of Division 3. Hein says of his No. 1 doubles team, "They work so well together, and just as importantly, they know how to get ready for matches because they understand that doubles sets the tone. It is also fun to coach such a talented team, yet, they are never satisfied."
Dobrin and M. Lawless will comprise the No. 2 team. Even though they are a relatively new pair, the duo made a terrific run at the Fall Regional tournament before falling in the finals. Hein says, "They have great natural chemistry and their games complement each other very well."
Jenna Dobrin, Fr.
As for the third and final spot in the line-up, Hein says, "We are very fortunate that we have six players who can compete at the national level for doubles." Hein adds that heading into the season opener, teams are still battling in practice while new pairs are being matched to determine who will fill the line-up card.
In appraising the 2013 edition of the Missionaries, Hein states, "This is definitely the deepest team we've had since I've been here. I think were also very mentally tough up and down the line-up."
Contributing to that depth will be juniors Maggie Eismeier (Portland, Maine), Hannah Palkowitz (San Diego, CA) and Olivia Bates (Edmonds, WA), sophomores Webster and Erin Minuth (San Francisco, CA), along with freshmen Katrina Allick (San Francisco, CA) and Rubenstein.
Eismeier saw action last year in both doubles and singles, winning a match in each. Hein says, "Maggie adds depth and will see action, again, in both singles and doubles."
After spending the Fall studying abroad, Palkowitz is working her way back into the line-up, where she saw quite a bit of action in doubles last year, notching a 9 – 5 mark. "Hannah is a good doubles player, and improving", says Hein. "She did not see a lot of singles action last year, but we're trying to get her more."
Kate Kunkel-Patterson, Sr.
Bates, who starred at Meadowdale High School, packs some of the biggest shots on the team, says Hein. "Olivia has shown great improvement in her match management."
In Webster, the Whits have a very versatile player who Hein says is a great doubles player and solid in singles – she was 10 – 5 and 4 – 4, respectively, last spring. "Maddy is so enthusiastic", says Hein, "and we got a glimpse of just how good she could be at the end of last season."
As a freshman last season, Minuth saw action in both singles and doubles, going 2 – 2 and 4 – 2, respectively. Hein notes, "Erin has one of the best serves on the team. Her ceiling is very high. Plus, she's a great teammate."
Madison Webster, So.
Rubinstein showed prowess instantly in this her first year, as she made the final 16 at the fall regional tournament. Hein says, "She is a very fast learner. You tell her something once and she incorporates it into her game."
Allick may have the biggest shots on the team, says Hein, and maybe even a bigger personality. "Katrina has so much enthusiasm and a great personality. She is so open to learning and also has excellent technique."
Kate Rubinstein, Fr.
The Missionaries will spend the first month of their season almost exclusively at home with some major conference matches at stake. "It's a really unique schedule for us. February is a huge home month for us with some of our toughest conference matches (Linfield, Willamette, and Lewis & Clark), "says Hein. "We feel super excited to have that opportunity at the beginning of the year to test ourselves because we have a very balanced team. We feel ready to go right away."
Then, in March, the team is solely on the road, which includes a California trip as the Whits visit Claremont and Santa Cruz to face a bevy of highly ranked teams. "In five days (during the trip) we play five teams that are ranked either above us or just below us", says Hein. "This trip will play a key role in one or our goals, which is to improve our national ranking."
The regular season finishes off with a string of home matches against the likes of Pacific, Whitworth, PLU and the finale against UPS on April 13.
As the Women's Tennis team gets ready to embark on its 2013 season, Coach Hein knows many uncertainties lay ahead, but there are some aspects of his team he knows will always be present. "Everybody's got different strengths. I think we're really learning from each other on how to get better individually and as a team. That's part of our program, is getting players who want to grow. The fact that they all continue to keep getting better is a prominent characteristic of our team."
The Journey begins February 2 when the Missionaries travel to face-off against Lewis-Clark State for a 10:30 am match.

Westminster Owls Play for Crash Victim
On the first play, the Westminster Owls get on the board with a touchdown pass. The team went into the regional championship game undefeated.
On Friday night, there's another reason to keep their record.
"He was here every game. He was here last week and we remember him. He used to cheer on every game," said Shannon Zavetz, a junior at Westminster H.S.
Zavetz wrote "baseball games and seeing your smile" on her shirt. That's how she remembers Michael McVerry, 17, who died when he was the passenger in a car that crossed the center line and hit another car on Tuesday night.
Mcverry died at the scene. Police do not think drugs or alcohol played a role.
"Spending everyday with him at lunch" wrote McVerry's friend Connor Brown.
Friends and classmates went to McVerry's viewing and then to the football game. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for #20, too.
Senior Dan Johnson is a running back and linebacker, who spent time tackling a great loss before the game.
"Dan told me before the game that Michael would want them to go on with the game and win the state championship," said Steven Johnson, Asst. Superintendent, Carroll Co. Public Schools and #20's father.
"Rest Easy Mike" tee-shirts were in the stands. A gorgeous shot of the moon hung above Westminster High and players with more than football on their minds all lead up to a 62 to 28 win.
McVerry was a tennis player, but friends think he had some influence on the football team during a championship game.
"We wanted to be here for him because we know he's here watching us. We're going to win states for him," said Zavetz.
The team is one game closer. They will play in the state semi-finals next Friday and push toward their first state championship win.

Hey all,
Since this board is a good place for sports debate, I figure this is a good place to post this. Most of you know by now that I write for Rant Sports, which is a growing sports website. By growing, I mean 50 million page views last month. We are always looking for more writers and I figure there has to be some interested folks on this board.
There are openings in every sport and you can write about any team imaginable or just a sport in general. The possibilities are endless. Heck, you could write about Purdue and we could have debate on topics concerning our favorite college team.
If you are interested in potentially learning more about the process, please shoot me an email at email@example.com I would be happy to answer questions about the process or the job.
Now let's watch our Boilers pick up that first Big 10 win tonight.

Pecs, bums, six-packs, celebs getting their kecks off on a rooftop while being watched by pervy office workers.
GT's naked issue is out next week and it's packed full of fit flesh.
There's also the chance to bid for the celebs undies from the shoots – each of them signed a pair and the money raised will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. We're justifying all the gratuitous leching by using our naked issue to raise awareness of cancer among gay and bi men.
We've also got some bizarre confessions from jazz's hottest star, Jamie Cullum, Doctor Who gossip from Russell T Davies, new hottie Harry Lloyd's first major interview and sweet eating by Same Difference.
So really, the cover is just the start of it.
Plus there's a dog with a wig on. That's kinda trademark thing.
Have a great Xmas and New Year

The stock draw stop is a screw, an aluminum sleeve and a rubber sleeve to cover it all. It's about 1/2" diameter. There is also a more "slim" version of the rubber sleeve for a diameter of about 3/16". This also gives you a bit longer valley at the back end of the draw cycle as well as just a hair longer draw length. It's personal preference as to which one you will use on your bow. Shoot straight!!

The one overriding theme of the last week has been sniffles.
Since Monday I was convinced I was getting hit with hayfever again but by wednesday it had turned into a bugger of a head cold. Was still going to work though. I'd booked Thursday off so that I could take Nairn to get his second lot of jags so that was the rest I thought I'd need. When the health visitor asked if Nairn had been anywhere near anyone infectious I jokingly said just me with a cold. Wasnt expecting Nairn to catch it though :S Also bumped into Ross's Pauline and thier kid as she was taking her to get the MMR. Not seen either of them in years!
Woke up on friday morning and I wasnt for going anywhere. I felt like I'd swollowed my pillow and it was residing behind my eyes and apparently you could hear me cough from the street below. I felt like shit until late on saturday night. I think it was the stress from Vonnie arranging Finn's party and the thought of all those kids running around that made me feel a little better.
The party was a success with a load of mates turning up as well. Just wish I'd got to mingle a bit more but I stuck myself in the kitchen for most of the day as the kids were making me claustrophobic and alot of work was needing done in there anyway. The kids loved the bouncey castle but the adults were a bit disappointed not to get a go on it
By sunday night I was dead and witht he party over my head just blocked up again. It wasnt until yesterday morning that I managed to find some decongestants so I spent yesterday with my head streaming with gunk as it found its way out. Woke up this morning feeling alot better and clearer but I'm still almost choking when I start a coughing fit. Today I'm off again then back to work tomorrow wether I like it or not

Would a proposed fee for fighting a parking ticket, and losing….make you not want to fight it in the first place?
Torontonians who chose to fight parking tickets, beware. It could soon cost extra if you take a ticket to court – and lose.
A civic committee is recommending the city issue a $12.75 surcharge against anyone who unsuccessfully contests a parking ticket – a tendency they suggest is far too common.
The City of Toronto issues about 2.8 million parking tickets a year, about 300,000 of which are taken to court.
A city report revealed that about 69 per cent of those who go to trial to fight a ticket are ultimately convicted, although often at a reduced penalty.
The proposed $12.75 fee would deter motorists from arguing against tickets they know are valid. City staff says drivers who fight legitimate tickets in the hopes of having them cancelled are a drain on the system.
If the officer who issued the ticket does not appear in court, the charge is dismissed. This can lead many fined motorist to set a court date and hope the officer does not appear, filling dockets with those fighting legitimate fines.
Mayor Rob Ford told CTV Toronto that he does not like the idea of a $12.75 surcharge and will be speaking to staff about alternatives.
Lawyer Peter Dotsikas says it is unfair to penalize people who have a right to have their day in court.
"I am shocked that they would be asking people to pay for their right to a trial. In effect, it is a money grab. It is trying to discourage people from having trials," Dotsikas said.
As a taxi driver, Kamal Abdellahi says he fights about seven parking tickets each year. He says the proposed surcharge would make it difficult for him to fight to have them rescinded, regardless of how legitimate his complaint was.
"As a cab driver, sometime they give you one after another. We are trying to make a living, and it is very hard," Abdellahi said on Wednesday.
The committee also suggested setting a fine amount that cannot be reduced by a judge.
Hmmmm….thoughts on paying an extra fee if you fight a parking ticket and lose?….Feels like they're trying to make it less appealing to fight a parking ticket……?

Windows 8 Game of the Week - December 3 - Robotek
Hey guys, I'm going to try and start something new...Polygon has a great, weekly feature, the iOS Watch List. In that article, they cover the newest iOS games and have trailers/descriptions/links to the game. There's always been a bit of rumbling about Android (and to a lesser extent - windows phone) not being included or covered. Well, that has inspired me to come up with the "Windows 8 Game of the Week" feature.
In Windows 8 GotW, I'll cover one game. It will usually be a new release, and I will play/test it on my Surface RT, laptop, and gaming desktop. All this effort to cover which way the game is best enjoyed (touch, mouse, keyboard, or a combination!). Another note, some games, like the one for this week, are not "new" or exclusive to Windows 8. However, my aim is to highlight quality gaming apps that appear on Windows 8 - not focus on whether the game also exists on iPad or Android or even PC already.
Without further ado..I present this week's pick, *Robotek*. Robotek is a simple strategy game. At start, you are presented with a map of the world covered with multicolored dots. Press one of the dots, and you're launched into a fight to the death between you and another mainframe (Robotek's fancy vocab for a robot). There's a slot machine at the top with three categories. You choose which category you want to roll (robots, power ups, or offensive attacks), and then give it a spin. Whatever you draw is played out, and then your opponent gets a turn. The fight goes back and forth until one mainframe is destroyed.
The game is simple to learn but challenging - also addictive. There's a fully fleshed campaign in which you have to conquer the globe by destroying all the enemy mainframes. There's also a free multiplayer arena, where you're randomly matched up with someone online. The game is free to play (with in app purchases to more quickly power up). Give it a spin - whether you play on a tablet or 24" monitor, the game is fun and works well for either touch or mouse.

Thousands of locals now have to get tested for possible exposure to Hepatitis C and other dangerous diseases. It is the largest Hepatitis scare in Nevada history.
The word came Wednesday from the Southern Nevada Health District. The patients had procedures done at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada. The health district has information available on their website regarding the investigation and a hotline has also been set up.
Southern Nevada Health District Hotline is (702)759-4636 (INFO)
SNHD officials say they first learned of the problem in early January, when a routine investigation process found that practitioners at the Endoscopy Center were using the same syringe on more than one patient -- exposing those patients to the blood of other patients.
"Hepatitis C is the worst of the infections." Dr. Mel Pohl is a local physician, and medical director of the Las Vegas Recovery Center. He outlines the risks at least six patients face after they contracted Hepatitis C while undergoing procedures at the Endoscopy Center.
"The virus infects people, they get liver inflammation, it can be Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and there's a number of other letters associated," said Pohl.
As many as 40,000 others are being advised to be tested for the virus.
An investigation by the SNHD found that, "Unsafe injection practices, related to the administration of anesthesia medication might have exposed patients to the blood of other patients."
"The decision to notify such a large number of people and to recommend testing is based on an identified public health risk, and out of concern for the long term health of those that may have been infected," said Dr. Lawrence Sands, Chief Health Officer with the Southern Nevada Health District.
"During the course of the investigation, we identified serious problems with the center's injection practices. We found the re-use of syringes on a patient and the re-use of vials labeled for single patient use. The combination of these two practices could have exposed patients to the blood of other patients," said Brian Labus with the Southern Nevada Health District.
A spokesman for the endoscopy center was also on hand for the news conference -- to express the center's concern for its patients, and to say the health threatening situation has been corrected.
"The recent events related to the district's study marks the first time anything like this has happened at our facility. We have taken steps to ensure it will never happen again," said Dr. Eladio Carrera with the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.
While those words may be of little comfort to the patients exposed to the viruses during the time frame of March 2004 and January 11th 2008, Dr. Pohl says there is still some hope for those who've been infected.
"Hepatitis C is very serious. It can lead to liver damage and even liver cancer. HIV can lead to AIDS and that can be potentially fatal. But again, people are living longer and longer with that disease," said Pohl.
Health officials are also recommending that Endoscopy Center patients also be tested for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Meanwhile, the notification of the estimated 40,000 patients who may have been exposed to disease, is the largest patient notification effort in the nation.

BLUEFIELD (WVVA) - A fund has been established for the woman shot at her Bluefield home Monday night.
Donations for Monika Watkins can be made at any First Century Bank location or mailed to the Monika Watkins Community Help Fund, PO Box 82, Bluefield, WV 24701.
Watkins is currently in critical condition at a Roanoke hospital. Her husband, John Douglas Watkins, was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of a shotgun wound.
A nephew told WVVA News Wednesday that Monika is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head. She is expected to have to undergo several surgeries, but is responding to treatment.
The suspect in the shooting, Donald Adams confessed to shooting the elderly couple after his arrest Tuesday. On Wednesday he was found dead in his Bluefield jail cell, the result of an apparent suicide.
Adams and the Watkins family had been neighbors in the past. Neighbors say Adams frequently visited the Watkins home.

I'll take any and all opinions on this subject. Just say whatever you feel like, I'm kind of numb to it at the moment.
I'm getting ready to schedule my C-Section this week or the next. Because of a high risk pregnancy and issues with my last delivery, it sounds like they won't let me go past 39 weeks. I'm going to push it as far as I can but..eh, doctors.
A lot of you may know from my previous posts that I'm adopting this baby out.
This is NOT a comment on what women should or should not do once they consider adoption or abortion. If you go through the pain of either of those processes and then decide to commit to a family later in life, YOU DESERVE THAT. Does everyone get that? There is NEVER a bad reason to want to bring the love of a child into your home no matter WHAT you've done in the past.
However, for me, I don't know if I could bear the idea of having a child, placing one in a home, and then years later, having another child.
I'm not naive enough to say that I'm going to be with the man I'm with for the rest of my life, but I do love him and I do have a strong relationship with him. We've talked about it and he's supporting my decision to get a tubal ligation.
The few people IRL I've told have completely lost their shit at me. "You're only 22! What if you change your mind!?"
So what if I change my mind? So what if I have regrets? I already do. I've already doomed myself to a life of pain and what ifs.
I have a beautiful baby girl. She's perfectly healthy in every way and barring some major incident I have every hope that I'll see her grow into a wonderful young woman. I plan on taking this opportunity to completely devote my life to her and make her the best person that she can possibly be with all of the love and support she could ever hope for.
So if I want another baby later..so what? Who cares? Me? I'm in this situation because of "me". I'm tired of worrying about "me". I'm ready to start worrying about everyone else, and I feel that I need to get this procedure done.
I can't get pregnant again. I couldn't live through carrying a baby in a place where another was ripped out of me and placed in another woman's arms.
This is just a vent..rant, Idk. I just needed it out. And for whatever reason I need to have people tell me the truth of what they think of it.
Thanks for reading.
Your decision. If regrets do come up you are the one that has to live with them no one else. Do what you feel you need to do and f**k everyone else.
I just want to wish you the best of luck
It's your decision. I used to not understand moms who already had kids and gave up subsequent kids. Like, if you already have kids what's another one, KWIM? And then I was put in a position like that and well, I don't judge either decision now. I'm sorry you're going through this and I'm sure a million people have told you it but...I think it takes a very strong, selfless person to be able to do this.
You are very young and going through a LOT.
who knows where you will be in a decade. You may think you will know how you'll feel, but you'll be a different person by then.
I just turned 30 and I would have never imagined my life would be as it is now, when I was 22.
I think it's understandable for you to feel to strongly, but I do think that there are other, less permanent ways that won't be so future altering.
I think you know more than anybody what is best for you, your body and your family. I think if I was in your situation, I'd do the same thing. I placed before having other kids and plan on having a family someday, so I didn't opt for that. But if you know in your heart that you just want your daughter and that you cannot deal with pregnancy again, then feel strong in your decision. Your body, your choice. Good luck with the surgery! I hope your physical and emotional healing go well and if you need to vent about the adoption, I'm on here.
You've got to do what's best for you. If for some reason you do change your mind after your tubal ligation someday, there is still IVF. Good luck.
I feel like right now you are making such an emotional decision and becsuse of that you probably should wait awhile before making another. Why not get a long term bc in the mean time and give yourself some time before making that decision?
Good luck, darling. You have to do what you believe is best.
OK--my situation is different, because I kept DD. But I was with you on the part of getting a tubal once she was born, and I was 25.
I had a one night stand, and got pregnant. I wasn't involved with her father, but the thought of giving her up made me sick. I was also terminally ill with liver disease, so I figured, (selfish, I know), that I would be the best mom I could for however long I could. I had adoption papers drawn for when, my demise happened, where she would go.
Since every doctor wanted me to abort her while I was pregnant, because I couldn't do my treatments, I pretty much chalked up the fact this was my ONLY chance.
So, I had her. Thankfully, I was able to continue my treatments, and have gotten A LOT better. But my mother talked me out of the tubal, because I was single.
I didn't want another pregnancy to interfere with ME getting better. But--the thought that I COULDN'T have a child with a husband (I didn't have yet), had me thinking.
It took me and DH 4 years to get pregnant with our son, and there were times where it was touch and go with my own health, and we even talked about, "is this even worth it?"
I can't tell you how you're going to feel when you do find a husband (if you ever do). Or that you're going to regret this when you do want to have a child with that man. Becuase, it honestly sounds like you won't.
Though--22 is young. I know since they're there, its easier to go ahead with the procedure, but it can still be something that you can do later. Tubals are also reversible, so its not like you COULDN'T change your mind if you really want a child with your husband.
You will feel whatever you feel and that is ok. Don't let anyone try to make you feel one way or the other. You are doing a wonderful thing for another family, hold on to that. I can't imagine going through what you've been through and what lies ahead of you. And as far as possibly wanting another baby in the future, you could always try adoption as well. Maybe a full circle type of thing? Anyways, I wish you the best. Stay strong, keep your head up, and just push forward.
like you said, you MIGHT regret it... but we all have regrets anyway. And personally I think regretting not having more kids might be easier than dealing with giving another one away. Its no one elses business anyway since its your body. If you really think that its what you should do, then do it. Dont listen to what other people think. Good luck!! And you are a strong person!

Quoting redneck mamma:" Your decision. If regrets do come up you are the one that has to live with them no one else. Do what you feel you need to do and f**k everyone else."

This. I wish you the best! *Hugs*
Thank you everyone. I'm a little too overwhelmed at the comments to really know what to say right now. I really appreciate everyone's honesty. Everyone's been trying so hard to put on a brave face and be supportive for me, and while I do appreciate that and prefer it over not having support, I've been starving for some truthfulness.
I will say this though. I've gotten pregnant with both of my successful pregnancies while being on some kind of birth control. I am literally terrified of getting pregnant again, which is why I'm leaning towards something permanent.

Quoting The Andromeda Strain:" Thank you everyone. I'm a little too overwhelmed at the comments to really know what to say right now. ... [snip!] ... of birth control. I am literally terrified of getting pregnant again, which is why I'm leaning towards something permanent. "

Has your SO considered something permanent? It's more easily reversed, and you've been through a lot. Maybe he can carry some of the burden.

The Beverly and Masconomet boys basketball teams developed a decent rivalry in the Beverly Invitational over the past few years. Unfortunately, that holiday tournament meeting has come to end — but Scott Lewis and the Panthers hope a new local rivalry could begin this season.
Bishop Fenwick has taken over the empty spot left behind by Masconomet, which dropped out of the holiday tournament after playing in it for three years. Boston Latin and Bishop Fenwick will kick off this year's tournament on Friday night, with Beverly and Chelsea meeting in the second game.
The Panthers have won two of their first three tournaments, including the first year, which was held at Chelsea High School while the Henry Cabot Lodge Fieldhouse was being redone.
"It's been good, almost every game has been really close," Lewis said. "It's always fun to have the tournament and play some teams you might not normally play. It's good for the kids."
Boston Latin and Beverly have battled for the title in each of the last two seasons, with Boston Latin winning two years ago and Beverly taking last year's meeting.
Lewis is glad his team has the opportunity to play games during the break, especially games that really mean something to his players. It's not that Beverly doesn't play hard every contest, but there is a little extra at stake in the Beverly Invitational.
"Last year, we knew that Boston Latin had beat us the year before in a game that we felt we let slip away. We fell apart in the fourth quarter," Lewis said. "We came out strong last year and held them off. The kids remember and any time a trophy is involved, they're up for it."
A team like Beverly, which should be in good shape this season with a returning core of Jon Berchoff, Nick Cross and Jonangel Franco, can only benefit from playing a couple of high-intensity games early in the season. That's all that Lewis can ask for.
"It's great. If you don't play during that (vacation) time, it's probably 10 days without a game over the break," Lewis said. "We like the competition. It's meaningful games and a good experience for the kids."
Joining the Beverly Invitational made perfect sense for Fenwick and first-year coach John Preziosa.
"We're excited. Being a new coach i was trying to get us big game and good, competitive games," Preziosa said. "That's a nice facility and traditionally it's been a really competitive Christmas tournament, so we were really happy to get in."
In addition to the Beverly Invitational, Marblehead and North Shore Tech/Essex Aggie will be participating in the Saugus Tournament later this week. Marblehead and Northeast Regional kick off that tournament on Friday night (5:30 p.m.) with North Shore Tech/Essex Aggie and Saugus playing immediately after.
Swampscott and Danvers will also be keeping busy in the Malden Catholic Tournament. Swampscott will play Arlington Catholic in the opening game Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.) while Danvers and Malden Catholic will play at 4 p.m.
Ipswich and Hamilton-Wenham are continuing their holiday tradition this year by competing in the Gloucester Tournament. Hamilton-Wenhm and Manchester Essex play first at 1 p.m. Sunday, followed by Ipswich and Gloucester, tentatively set for 2:30 p.m.
Pingree will be heading south for its vacation, playing in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Fla. The Highlanders open against Mercyhurst Prep of Pennsylvania Friday and are scheduled to also play games on Saturday and Monday.
It's a six-day trip of fun, basketball and relaxation (in no particular order) that Pingree coach Steve Gibbs feels this group of players has earned.
"I did this with the team six years ago and this weather is so delightful I picked the right year to go away," Gibbs said. "I have a nucleus of seniors on the team and I did promise them a trip at some point. They spent a lot of time in the spring fundraising."
Gibbs also believes the Highlanders will see a high level of competition, and it will be a good experience for some of the players on his team hoping to continue playing in college.
"I don't think we're playing the Miami Heat or Orlando Magic or Florida Gators, but believe it or not there will be 4,000 athletes there; not just boys basketball but girls, too," Gibbs said. "This attracts schools from coast to coast. Besides the fact it's good bonding and it's also good in terms of them playing games and practicing during Christmas break."
Pingree is off to a bit of a slow start, having dropped two of its first three games. But Gibbs is confident a team led by senior captains Johnnie Spears, Kyle Lentini and Connor Reardon will get back to its winning ways, and a trip during winter break will only help.
The Highlanders have an excellent lineup with solid depth. Sophomores Alonzo Jackson and Justin Assad are talented players who take a lot of heat off the seniors.
Several players on this team could be college players. Spears just committed to play football at Trinity College and Reardon made a verbal commitment to WPI recently.
"He's a leader. He's a person who's always vocally leading the players and leading by example," Gibbs said of Reardon. "He's the first guy at practice patting the kids on the back, or helping out our freshmen. He reminds me of Tim Tebow; he's a real winner."
