Content-sharing website Pinterest might be forced to choose another name before expanding into Europe. The news follows a European Union office decision ruling that the U.S.-based social networking site doesn't own the rights to the trademark, according to media reports.
It has emerged that the European trademark was initially registered by a London-based social news aggregation startup—Premium Interest—around two months before it was filed in the United States. As such, the European Commission's Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market has ruled that the British company is the original owner of the name on the continent, meaning only the start-up's founder, Alex Hearn, can use the trademark in Britain.
The European Trademark court made the decision back in November, but it was only revealed last month. The court ruling suggests that while Pinterest has been active since 2010, the evidence presented describes the networking site as a "sudden craze," "a great new platform," "the buzzy social service of the moment," and "the next big thing," pointing out that the evidence submitted by Pinterest regarding its popularity in the United Kingdom before 2012 was too weak. In addition, the networking site failed to comply with a critical deadline for document submission.
The ruling means that if Pinterest wants to maintain its business in Europe, it will need to change its name if the original owner doesn't grant a license to use the trademark. The founder of the British start-up owns similar rights on the Pinterest trademark in other markets, such as Australia. A spokesperson for Pinterest told TechCrunch that the company would appeal the court's decision. According to the ruling, however, Pinterest's claim has been "rejected in its entirety."
According to legal experts quoted by TechCrunch, Pinterest could still appeal the ruling, provided that it presents evidence proving more explicitly that consumers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe were familiar with the company before January 2012, when Premium Interest first registered its trademark. In order to win the case, however, the U.S. company needs to show it had rights before the British startup in Europe. The fact that it is a popular brand in the United States is not relevant; the trademark rights in Europe do matter.
Premium Interest's Hearn told TechCrunch that he coined the use of Pinterest in late 2009–10, when together with colleagues he began work on some of the early experimental algorithms. Pinterest is about to be the name of the ranking scores of news in Premium Interest, which went viral in 2011–12. The name has not been used publicly due to legal reasons during the opposition proceedings, he said.

|We Never Stop Looking Out For Each Other
|Written by Robert Mladnich
Retired NYPD detective Greg Boyle spent 21 years on the job, working the streets of Brooklyn without ever firing a shot. After leaving the Department in December 2002, he worked part-time as an armed security guard in Cellini Jewelers, which is located in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan. The 54-year-old Boyle never foresaw the events of November 15, 2008 when a young man entered the store, smashed a display case with a .45 caliber handgun, and started taking whatever he could get his hands on. Boyle pulled his weapon and grabbed hold of the gunman. The next thing he remembers is lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
He heard the crackle of a police radio, and the frightening words of an officer urging the dispatcher to get an ambulance there forthwith because the victim was likely to die. Although he was in shock, Boyle vaguely recalls the friendly face of an officer reassuring him that he was going to be alright and telling him, "Don't worry, ESU is here."
"I really didn't know what was going on, but those words calmed me down," said Boyle, who still has a bullet lodged near his armpit. "While working as a cop, whenever there was something you couldn't handle, you called the Emergency Service Unit. There's nothing they can't do. Whatever my condition was, I knew I was in good hands." The reality of the situation was actually much more dire than what Boyle was told. One of the responding officers, Det. Dennis Canale, is a physician's assistant. When he got his first look at Boyle, he didn't know he was an ex-cop. All he saw was a shooting victim who he was certain was going to die.
"He had a serious graze wound on his arm and blood was oozing out of his chest with air bubbles, so I knew the lung was affected," said Canale, who works part-time in the surgery departments of the Staten Island and Richmond University Hospitals. "I put my finger in the bullet hole to get some air back into the lung, so the lung cavity wouldn't collapse and compress the heart."
While Canale worked feverishly on Boyle, his heavily-armed colleagues, which included Sgt. Joseph Lisi and Detectives Anthony Borowiec, Joseph Delre and Tracy Young, assumed strategic positions around the store and in the hotel lobby. They had no idea if the shooting was part of a bigger conspiracy. As members of the Operation Hercules Anti-Terrorism Initiative, they are used to expecting the unexpected. "It was a very intense scene," said Lisi. "We happened to be in the area, so we were on the scene within minutes. We could smell the gunpowder as soon as we entered the hotel. People were hysterical, running in all directions. Having Dennis on hand was like having a doctor on the scene."
Prior to removing Boyle to the hospital, the officers showed him the face of the suspect, who had been held down by a fellow worker. Boyle easily identified him as the gunman. "To be honest, we saw that as his dying declaration," said Lisi. "Greg was in very bad shape. He was white as a T-shirt and bleeding terribly. It's a miracle he survived."
Although still in immense pain, Boyle was sent home from the hospital after one week to be cared for by his lovely wife Alice, daughter Jackie, son Ed, who is an NYPD officer, and son Earl. On January 12, he finally felt well enough to invite his rescuers over for an emotional reunion that was catered by the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA). The SBA presented the officers involved, including Boyle, with "Certificates of Honor."
"We are all so happy that you are alright," said Lisi. "I can't tell you how much that means to us." "There are no words I can say to express my gratitude to all of you," said Boyle, as tears welled in his eyes. "I'm just overwhelmed. You guys were my heroes when I was on the job. I never thought the respect I have for ESU could get stronger, but it sure did on November 15. You guys saved my life. All I can say is thank you. Thank you."

Sure, the scudetto hasn't been decided yet, but how many, apart from Juve and Milan fans, really care? It's a two-horse race and, to many, a battle between evil and evil. Last year's holders against the club that's one the most titles. Yawn. Give me drama!
That drama lies in the race for third place, the final Champions League position awarded to Italy next season (because clearly England, with its teams falling out during the group stages, deserves four slots). For much of the season, it seemed Udinese would have a second chance to qualify for the tournament. But with one win of their last nine matches, the zebrette are already focused on which child prodigy they'll bring in from South America in the summer. It appeared as though Lazio were willing to step in and shoulder the CL burden, but then an injury-pocalpse hit, leaving them unable to beat relegation-battling teams. So will Napoli become the tournament's darlings again next season? Or will Inter pull off a miraculous late-season run?
AC Milan 1-0 Genoa
Perhaps fearful of meeting Genoa ultras in a dark alleyway, Milan took it easy on the visitors, barely threatening Sebastien Frey's goal in the first half. The introduction of Antonio Cassano and Kevin-Prince Boateng finally brought the match to life, and it was Boateng that got the eventual winner, beating Frey from close range. The win keeps the rossoneri within three points of Juve, but unless a club manages to bring down the invincible squad, Milan will have to settle for second.
AS Roma 1-2 Fiorentina
Yes, you're seeing that scoreline correctly. The hapless Viola managed to beat Roma at the Olimpico -- it's only been 20 years since they managed that particular feat. Stevan Jovetic headed the ball past Roma's third-choice keeper, Gianluca Curci, after just two minutes, and Fiorentina continued to test the poor man throughout the match. Francesco Totti managed to equalise with a little toe-poke in the 70th, but the Viola fought back in stoppage time. Adem Ljajic sent in an impressive shot that Curci somehow managed to block, but it fell for Andrea Lazzarri, who neatly put it away.
Oh, and did we mention Pablo Osvaldo got sent off? No? Probably because it just seems inevitable these days.
Atalanta 1-0 Chievo Verona
Were it not for a six point deduction at the beginning of the season, Atalanta would be in eighth place. Let that be a lesson, kids: don't cheat.
Cagliari 3-0 Catania
Catania fell apart in Trieste, where Cagliari pummeled Pietro Terracciano, who was making just his second Serie A appearance. Let this be a lesson to you, Vincezo Montella: don't pull Alejandro Gomez before the 60th minute unless he has blood pouring from a gaping wound. And even then, think about it for a few minutes.
Europe next year, guys. Next year.
Cesena 0-1 Juventus
Surprise! Juventus beat Cesena! Actual surprise: Marco Borriello scored the game-winning goal.
Ciao, Seahorses. It's been a fun two seasons. Best wishes in Serie B.
Welcome back, Napoli. We've missed you. And that gorgeous foot of Marek Hamsik.
Giuseppe Mascara has done more for Napoli in a Novara kit than he ever did for the partenopei. Lazio started off the scoring, but, unfortunately for Modibo Diakite, it landed in Federico Marchetti's net. Whoopsies. Antonio Candreva saved the defender just a minute later, heading the ball into the Novara net, but the damage was done. Mascara executed a perfect free kick with just over ten minutes to go, keeping Novara's hopes of safety alive, and edging Napoli closer to third place.
Ok, Palermo are just winding us up now, right? If anyone other than Lecce are going down, it's Genoa, so the rosanero don't even need to bother. They can't really be this bad...
This happened.
Udinese 1-3 Inter Milan
Pack up the suitcases, Udinese. Some of you will be moving on to bigger and better clubs, others might get to go along on scouting missions to far-off locations of the world. One thing's nearly a given -- no Champions League for you next season. That's what happens when you take a lead in the sixth minute and then end up down 3-1 by the half. Inter and Udi are now tied on points, both three back of Lazio.

2010 Giants: Trade their veteran catcher to the contending Rangers to go with a rookie behind the dish.
2012 A's: Trade their veteran catcher to the contending Nationals to go with a rookie behind the dish.
2010 Giants: Scrap heaped former Devil Ray/aging slugger/bay area native Pat Burrell provides power.
2012 A's: Scrap heaped former Devil Ray/not quite as aging slugger/bay area native Jonny Gomes provides power.
2010 Giants: Bench young infielder Pablo Sandoval for not producing at a level he had in his break out season the year before.
2012 A's: Bench (and send down) young infielder Jemile Weeks for not producing at a level he had in his break out season the year before.
2010 Giants: Rally behind a stupid song by Ashkon.
2012 A's: Rally behind a stupid song by ISA. (Granted our stupid song is funnier and way way less obnoxious than theirs.)
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure there are many more.
The major difference of course is that the 2010 Giants had a fairly substantial payroll, had won 88 games the year before, and were expected to contend and our 2012 A's well.. were none of those things.
Of course nobody knows how the rest of this is going to play out for our boys in Green and Gold, but I for one am hoping in a few weeks to read on my favorite A's blog about how cool it is that Kurt Suzuki is going to get a full share and ring no matter who wins the World Series.

These tennis footwork drills, adapted from a USTA sequence, are gentle enough to use as a first activity on the court. If you have two courts available, use the distance from the outer doubles line of one to the other. Most of the exercises go this full length, except where noted otherwise. If you only have one court, go to the net and back for full-length exercises.
Doing these in order is recommended, but not crucial. Use a relaxed pace throughout. These aren't races.
"I" am the coach leading the drill, doing each exercise along with you. You can do this sequence alone, with one person leading a group, or with each person in a group taking a turn as the leader.
To get your leg muscles started warming up, start with an easy jog all the way across and then a backwards jog to return.
Next, try the backwards skip, shown here, which is also easy on the legs. You'll probably never skip backwards during a match -- at least, not out of necessity -- but it's a good coordination exercise, and it helps to build the muscles used for backpedaling and jumping.

High Density Hybridoma Cell Culture In A Packed-Bed BioreactorSource: Eppendorf, Inc
By Ray Rose, Stacey Willard, and Ma Sha
Packed-bed bioreactor cell culture is generally accepted as one of the best methods to simulate the conditions of animal cell growth in vivo since cells are maintained in a low-shear environment with constant refreshment of nutrients and removal of waste. The growth of attachment-dependent cells on Fibra-Cel has been shown to increase both cell and product yields. In particular, Hybridoma cells are inherently sensitive to waste buildup and the implementation of packed-bed Fibra-Cel growth conditions in addition to perfusion production methods has greatly increased yields. To demonstrate that the CelliGen 310 2.5 L basket impeller bioreactor is capable of robust, reproducible high density Hybridoma culture under perfusion conditions, two independent trials were conducted using the suspensionadapted DA4.4 hybridoma cell line.

In the world of biomolecules such as proteins and the hereditary nucleic acids DNA and RNA, three-dimensional structure determines function. Analysis of the passage of such molecules through nanopores offers a relatively new, but highly promising, technique for obtaining information about their spatial conformations. However, interactions between the test molecules and the proteins used as pores have so far hindered quantitative analysis of the behavior of even simply structured molecules within nanopores.
In the chemistry of the living world, a pair of nucleic acids – DNA and RNA – reign supreme. As carrier molecules of the genetic code, they provide all organisms with a mechanism for faithfully reproducing themselves as well as generating the myriad proteins vital to living systems.

Chossy (probably not climbed a whole lot). Starting at a horizontal crack on the west side of the south face, move right following the bolts up to the horizontal dike. The crux is moving from the lower flakes under the crack to the right side across the cut out. From there it gets runout getting around the corner, past the obvious corner edge (around 5.10) and up to the anchors.
Up and left from Swept Away. Scramble up 4th Class choss from in front of the face and then up left onto a large ledge which lies next to the start. Can down climb from the belay ledge (probably not recommended) or can do two raps, one to the ledge and then over to Pope's Crack.
Four bolts leading up to the crux and one at the crux. Gets thin and runout from here on to the anchors. Possibly can slot in some smaller nuts.

Barber's bid to be wet-shave champ (From Daily Echo)
When news happens, text SDE and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Lordshill dad Carl Allain in bid to be wet-shave champion in South East
3:10pm Saturday 11th January 2014 in News
HE is the former builder aiming to prove he is a cut above the rest.
Carl Allain is set to go head-to-head with 14 others for the coveted South East best wet shaving barber regional title in January.
But five years ago Carl would have laughed you out of town if you had told him he would be one of Hampshire's top barbers.
A self-employed builder, he got into the cut-throat trade after his friend Steve Howell, who runs Steve's Barber Shop in Aldermoor, suggested to him he might be good with a razor.
Carl said: "When Steve mentioned it to me – I just laughed at it for about three months, and when I told my mates they laughed too, but then the idea started to grow on me.
"Having a creative and very imaginative mind I thought I'd try my hand at something different and it turns out I'm a dab hand in the trade with the skill set for both wet shaves and high quality cuts."
The 30-year-old dad-of-two from Lordshill believes the job change was the best decision he has ever made and just four years later he owns Uppercut Barbers in Shirley High Street.
Carl added: "I much prefer this industry to building, the job satisfaction is fantastic and it is amazing to get to this stage after just five years in the trade."
The competition, which will take place in Poole on January 29, is organised by grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge and the British Barbers' Association.
If Carl wins he gets a place in the national final, which will be staged in a boxing ring in February, with a shot at claiming the prestigious crown of being Britain's Best Shaver.
He could also win £3,000 worth of Bluebeards Revenge products.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Battle Mountain District Office, plans to continue prescribed burning activities in the Eureka Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Project, between the months of December, 2012 and February, 2013. Up to 30 acres of slash piles will be disposed of. To date, the BLM has completed 100 acres of burning activities within the project. The ongoing hazardous fuel reduction activities are an important part of what the BLM does on the Battle Mountain District. Working with our partners, the BLM can help reduce the catastrophic impacts of fires to communities and the public lands. This project is being completed with the cooperation of Eureka County and the community of Eureka. Their continued support and cooperation remains essential to the success of the project.
The prescribed fire area is one-quarter mile west-to-northwest of the town of Eureka. No more than five acres per day will be burned in accordance with the burn plan. Smoke may be visible from Eureka and other nearby areas. Ignition operations will be intermittent to allow for adequate smoke dispersal and burning will not occur every day during the burn window. The prescribed burn is highly dependent on weather conditions and fuel parameters, and may be postponed until a window of acceptable prescriptive conditions open.
For further information please contact Josh Tibbetts, Prescribed Fire/Fuels Specialist at (775) 635-4109 or email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact Chad Lewis, Fuels Program Manager at (775) 635-4102 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

No reason to be disappointed, says Burnley boss Dyche
2:50pm Monday 14th April 2014 in Football By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche said his team could not have done much more to at least prevent defeat to Middlesbrough.
Promotion celebrations were postponed by Jacob Butterfield's breakaway goal early in the second half, while a win for nearest challengers Derby County closed the gap to second to eight points.
Despite a succession of chances, and failed penalty claims, the Clarets could not get the result they needed to close in on securing a return to the Premier League before the Easter weekend.
But Dyche insists the occasion and possibilities did not get to his players.
"Absolutely not. I thought there was a clear focus, great energy and great quality to the performance," said the Burnley boss.
"I'm pleased with that. All the rest of it is just noise around the outside, we focus on what we're about and what we do. There were massive signs of it again – totally clear signs of what we're about again."
Asked how he views the Championship table now, with four games to go, he added: "It's a simple assessment from us. If you're a Burnley fan or part of Burnley Football Club and at the beginning of the season when we'd just sold Charlie Austin someone said 'by the way, with four games to go you'll be eight points clear of third place', I don't think there would be too many disappointed. So I'm not disappointed.
"I'm disappointed with the result of course, but not with a performance like that."

Early Life of Sant SurdasThe time of Surdas's birth and death are uncertain and suggest that he lived over a hundred years, which make the facts even murkier. Some say, he was born blind in 1479 in Siri village near Delhi. Many others believe, Surdas was born in Braj, a holy place in northern Indian district of Mathura, associated with the exploits of Lord Krishna. His family was too poor to take good care of him, which led the blind boy to leave home at the tender age of 6 to join a wondering group of religious musicians. According to one legend, one night he dreamt of Krishna, who asked him to go to Vrindavan, and dedicate his life to the praise of the Lord.
Surdas's Guru - Shri VallabharacharyA chance meeting with the saint Vallabharacharya at Gau Ghat by the river Yamuna in his teens transformed his life. Shri Vallabhacharya taught Surdas lessons in Hindu philosophy and meditation and put him in the path of spirituality. Since Surdas could recite the entire Srimad Bhagavatam and was musically inclined, his guru advised him to sing the 'Bhagavad Lila' - devotional lyrical ballads in praise of Lord Krishna and Radha. Surdas lived in Vrindavan with his guru, who initiated him to his own religious order, and later appointed him as the resident singer at Srinath temple in Govardhan.
Surdas Attains FameSurdas' lilting music and fine poetry attracted many laurels. As his fame spread far and wide, the Mughal emperor Akbar (1542-1605) became his patron. Surdas spent the last years of his life in Braj, the place of his birth and lived on the donations, which he received in return of his Bhajan singing and lecturing on religious topics, until he died in c. 1586.
Philosophy of SurdasSurdas was profoundly influenced by the Bhakti movement - a religious movement which focused on deep devotion, or 'bhakti', for a specific Hindu deity, such as Krishna, Vishnu or Shiva that was prevalent in Indian between c 800-1700 AD, and propagated Vaishnavism. Surdas's compositions also found place in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs.
The Poetical Works of SurdasAlthough Surdas is known for his greatest work - the Sur Sagar, he also wrote Sur-Saravali, which is based on the theory of genesis and the festival of Holi, and Sahitya-Lahiri, devotional lyrics dedicated to the Supreme Absolute. As if Surdas attained a mystical union with Lord Krishna, which enabled him to compose the verse about Krishna's romance with Radha almost as he was an eyewitness. Surdas' verse is also credited as one that lifted the literary value of the Hindi language, transforming it from a crude to a pleasing tongue.
A Lyric by Surdas: 'The Deeds Of Krishna'There is no end to the deeds of Krishna:
true to his promise, he tended the cows in Gokula;
Lord of the gods and compassionate to his devotees,
he came as Nrisingha
and tore apart Hiranyakashipa.
When Bali spread his dominion
over the three worlds,
he begged three paces of land from him
to uphold the majesty of the gods,
and stepped over his entire domain:
here too he rescued the captive elephant.
Countless such deeds figure in the Vedas and the Puranas,
hearing which Suradasa
humbly bows before that Lord.

Looking Ahead to the Team in 2012-13Friday, May 18, 2012
|Took this photo last spring when Reid McNeill was on an ATO with WBS during last year's playoff run. He signed an entry-level contract the other day.
Heading into the summer, the Penguins have a lot of decisions to make. With only Marc-Andre Fleury and Patrick Killeen signed through next season in net, the Pens will need to make a decision with Brad Thiessen. Thiessen is an unrestricted free agent, meaning he is free to sign with any team after July 1st if the Penguins can't agree to terms with him before then. You would have to expect he wants to be Fleury's backup. Scott Munroe is also an NHL unrestricted free agent.
On defense, Matt Niskanen Brian Strait, Robert Bortuzzo, and Alexandre Picard are all restricted free agents that will be looking for NHL jobs next season. Niskanen had a good year in Pittsburgh, and the other three were the core in the AHL that helped the WBS Penguins to the second round of the playoffs.
A lot of what happens with the defense depends on what Pittsburgh does. There's a lot of talk about Paul Martin potentially being moved, but also that Simon Despres and Joe Morrow could make the push to the NHL next season. With six defensemen already signed through next year in Pittsburgh (Martin, Zbynek Michalek, Brooks Orpik, Kris Letang, Ben Lovejoy, Deryk Engelland) there isn't a lot of room for guys like Niskanen, Strait, Bortuzzo, Picard or even Boris Valabik. All of those guys would need to clear waivers before being able to be sent to the minors next year.
Other restricted free agents on defense include Alex Grant, Carl Sneep. Would be very surprised if either didn't receive a qualifying offer for next season.
There are some unrestricted free agents on AHL contracts: Andrew Hotham, Peter Merth, Joey Mormina and Cody Wild. Mormina and Wild could be depth additions to the AHL defense because they would add experience to what looks like a very young core in WBS next season (see after the jump).
Up front, there are a lot of decisions to be made in the off season. Right now, the Penguins have 11 forwards signed through next season at the NHL level.
UFA's include Steve Sullivan, Arron Asham, Richard Park, Jason Williams, Colin McDonald, Ryan Craig and Steve MacIntyre.
RFA's at the forward position are Eric Tangradi, Cal O'Reilly, Keven Veilleux and Casey Pierro-Zabotel. Tangradi and O'Reilly will be looking at NHL jobs. Veilleux shouldn't draw attention since he missed all last season with a knee injury. Zabotel won't be back after the controversy with him, wasn't with the WBS Penguins all season.
So there you have it. A look at all the free agents in the organization (hope I didn't miss anyone). If I missed someone leave me the guy I left off the list in the comments section. What are your thoughts? Who would you like to see back, and who do you think you will see back next season?
After the jump, a look at who the Penguins have at the NHL and AHL levels signed through next season.

WBS Penguins Playoff Grades 5/14Monday, May 14, 2012
|#10 Ben Street (left-front) and #19 Bryan Lerg (right-front) struggled in the playoffs. The two led the team with 27 goals each during the regular season.
You could start to think about guys like Brian Strait, Robert Bortuzzo (hurt in Game Seven), and Nick Petersen and wonder if their presence could have changed the outcome. You might as well wonder what a healthy Carl Sneep could have meant this postseason with Philip Samuelsson and Cody Wild both appearing in playoff action.
Let's add one more. What the forward core might have looked like with a healthy Keven Veilleux all season long after what he accomplished the second half of the 2010-11 season?
At the end of the day, this series with St. John's could have gone either way. Two evenly matched teams coming into Game One and it went down to the third period of Game Seven to decide the winner. A couple bounces here and there and some missed opportunities along the way is sometimes all it takes to decide a game in the playoffs. Neither team wants to bow out of the playoffs. The compete level of this series is almost incomparable to any other AHL playoff series I have ever been a part of.
This post will take a look at the grades of the players individually during the 2012 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Straight to the grades after the jump.

Penguins Fall Short in Game SevenSaturday, May 12, 2012
|Penguins on the losing end of the handshake line. Good season guys!
Nothing to hang your head about fans. These Penguins battled back from a 3-1 series deficit and took this series the distance. They never gave up in the series and played hard until every last second ticked off the clock tonight in Newfoundland.
Aaron Gagnon scored his second goal of the night 57 seconds into the third period, and the Penguins couldn't tie up the game after Colin McDonald scored his team leading 6th goal of the playoffs. Only fitting this series came down to a one goal game.
Tough way to end the season for the Penguins. I'm sure the what if's and what could have been are swirling in everyone's minds right now.
I want to thank everyone who has read the updates on this blog over the course of the season. I also want to take the time now to let you know that although the season may be over, the daily updates and original content is just beginning. Here's what I plan to do in the very near future:
The Playoff Grades for every guy who suited up for a playoff game in a Penguins uniform will post either tomorrow evening or Monday morning. I'll have another post looking at the roster and who's signed through next season and who the free agents will be. I'll probably have multiple looks at it over the summer. I'll also be doing full season recaps of all the players over the summer as well.
So stay tuned! It was an awesome first full season covering this team and big things are planned and already in the works for the off-season and the 2012-13 season.

Penguins Force Game Seven, Win 4-2Friday, May 11, 2012
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have forced a winner-take-all Game Seven tomorrow night at 6 p.m. EST after a 4-2 win over the St. John's IceCaps. Only fitting the series comes down to just one game. A truly Grade A series.
After the teams came out for the third period tied at two, the Penguins got a greasy goal from Zach Sill, tipping a puck past Eddie Pasquale early in the third period, giving the Pens a 3-2 lead. Paul Thompson beat Pasquale with 3:30 to play on a nifty backhander to make the 4-2 final.

WBS Penguins on "The Rock" 5/11Thursday, May 10, 2012
|Photo courtesy of the WBS Penguins Facebook page.
Strait is arguably the team's best defensive defenseman. His return to the lineup would be a huge boost to the WBS blueline. Philip Samuelsson barely sniffed the ice in the third period and subsequent overtimes in Game Five.
The IceCaps also missed their best defensive blue liner on Tuesday night in Arturs Kulda. A big loss for St. John's. Former Penguins defenseman Jason DeSantis replaced him in Game Five. Kulda's status for Game Six is still uncertain.
Other than that I wouldn't expect any lineup changes for either team. We'll have up to the minute updates on the blog's Twitter feed. Follow @H_P_Hockey for pregame lineups and live updates of all the action of Game Six.

It's On To The Rock: Pens Force Game SixWednesday, May 9, 2012
After 92:08 of exhilarating playoff hockey, Simon Despres played hero tonight. It was his first of the playoffs but none bigger for Despres. Ben Street and Eric Tangradi got the assists on the double overtime goal.
A huge goal for Despres. He caught up with reporters after the game and had this to say:
"This one is very big because we're on the brink of elimination. Biggest goal of my career, definitely."So it's on to "the Rock" in St. John's, Newfoundland. The Penguins will get on a charter flight with the IceCaps and fly up to Canada together tomorrow. Game Six is scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. EST. The Penguins still trail the series, now at a 3-2 deficit, and will need to keep that do-or-die mentality Friday night in hopes of forcing the decisive Game Seven.

WBS Penguins: Down But Not OutTuesday, May 8, 2012
|Penguins need to dig deep in Game Five
All time, the Penguins are 15-10 when facing elimination. Let's hope after tonight that is pushed to 16-10.
The series has been much closer than the three to one deficit shows, however.
In the opening game of the series, the IceCaps held a 2-1 lead until a puck handling gaffe by Brad Thiessen with under two minutes to play ended the game in a 3-1 loss. Essentially a one goal game.
In Game Two, the Penguins evened up the series with a 3-1 win of their own, thanks to one shorthanded and one power play goal in the first five minutes of the third period. The Penguins really dominated the play and held a 28-11 shot advantage after two periods before pulling away in the third.
The series shifted to Wilkes-Barre for Games Three and Four. Both ended in overtime losses for the Penguins. Two more one goal games.
In Game Three, the IceCaps held onto a 1-0 lead until an extra attacker goal by Eric Tangradi with 1:02 left to play sent the game into overtime. Unfortunately Brock Trotter notched his second of the night 10:02 into the first overtime for the IceCaps win.
The Penguins came out firing in Game Four, scoring goals on their first two shots and taking a 2-0 lead into the second period. But credit to the IceCaps for not giving up as they tied up the game with two second period goals of their own and after a scoreless third period, ended the game 27 seconds into overtime when Ben Maxwell cleaned up a rebound loose in Thiessen's crease.
By no means is this series over heading into Game Five tonight. A couple bounces the other way and it's a 3-1 series for the Penguins and fans would have their eyes on the Conference Finals.
Instead, the Penguins need to start with one game. Win this game and head back to St. John's for Game Six.

The Penguins scored on their first two shots of the game to take a 2-0 lead, but the IceCaps battled back with a strong second period tying the game and eventually winning 27 seconds into overtime. The win gives the IceCaps a 3-1 series lead, putting the Pens on the brink of elimination. Game Five is on Tuesday night in Wilkes-Barre.
Back to back overtime losses the last two nights. Heartbreaking losses, but the Penguins have come back from 3-1 series deficits before. All they can do is take it one game at a time, starting Tuesday night.

Penguins Drop Game Three In OTSaturday, May 5, 2012
Eric Tangradi tied the score at one with 1:02 to play, sending Game Three to overtime, but Brock Trotter (the Penguin killer) scored his second of the night and fourth of the series 10:02 into overtime to give the IceCaps a 2-1 win and 2-1 series lead.
This series will end in Canada. Games Four and Five are at home, while Six and Seven (if necessary) are on "the Rock" in St. John's Newfoundland.
Tough loss for the Penguins, but they get a chance for redemption tomorrow at 4 p.m. EST in Game Four.
After good back and forth action to start the game, the IceCaps struck first when Zach Redmond's slap-pass from the point deflected off none other than Trotter's stick and past Thiessen at the 12:37 mark.
The story of the night was definitely IceCaps goaltender Eddie Pasquale, who several times robbed Penguins goal scorers when it seemed the puck had no chance of being stopped. The IceCaps were actually held without a shot the entire second period, and if not for Pasquale's play this game could have had a different result.
The Penguins biggest opportunity, or should I say opportunities, came in the second period when they had two separate glimpses of five-on-three power plays but were unable to capitalize on them. Those probably hurt the most.
Time to dig deep. Tomorrow's game is almost a must-win because you don't want to go down 3-1 in the series and have to win three out of four games up in Newfoundland. Not much time between games, not sure if that will have an affect on either team tomorrow.

STJ @ WBS: Game Three (Series Tied)
Tonight the series shifts to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre. Game Three. Series tied. The Penguins have the home ice advantage the next three games and look to capitalize. Puck drops at 7:05 p.m. EST. I will be live at the game with full coverage on Twitter and a recap here shortly after the conclusion. Follow @H_P_Hockey for in-game updates and all the WBS Penguins news in one spot!
As for the lineups, don't expect many changes, if any. Brian Strait didn't practice and is most likely out for tonight. He's listed as the standard during the playoffs: day-to-day.
The games become increasingly more important this time of year but I'm not sure if there's a bigger game in this series than tonight's Game Three. With the series tied at one, the Penguins can potentially win out their three home games and end the series in Wilkes-Barre. If St. John's takes one game on the road, they know the series has to end in front of their hometown fans as Games Six and Seven (if necessary) are at the Mile One Centre in Newfoundland.
After the jump some awesome pictures from Game Two. Thanks again to @dwancherry for those!

Pens Even Series, Win Game Two 3-1Wednesday, May 2, 2012
The Penguins dominate the IceCaps tonight and win Game Two 3-1, sending the series back to Wilkes-Barre for three straight home games starting Saturday. The best of seven series is evened up at one apiece and is now a best of five.
In the playoffs, you need your best players to play their best hockey. And right now Cal O'Reilly and Jason Williams are certainly living up to expectations. O'Reilly had the primary assist on two third period goals, the second of which was an absolute cannon of a shot from Williams. Williams leads the Pens with 10 points (2G-8A) through the team's first seven playoff games. O'Reilly has four points (2G-2A) in his last three games.
Recap of Game Two after the jump!

IceCaps Take Game One, Pens Lose 3-1Tuesday, May 1, 2012
|O'Reilly scored the lone WBS goal tonight.
Cal O'Reilly didn't score a single goal for the Pens in 21 regular season games, but notched his 4th of the playoffs on the power play 4:42 into the game. Jason Williams got his team leading 8th assist and Colin McDonald got the secondary helper.
Other than that spurt of offense, the Penguins were bottled down in their own zone. They killed off two penalties and Brad Thiessen was the star. Thiessen also stopped Jason King on a penalty shot with 3:08 left in the opening period.
The Penguins took the 1-0 lead into the locker room despite being outshot 20-4.
The Penguins played better in the second period, outshooting the IceCaps 8-7 in the period, but surrendered the one goal lead on a Brian Gibbons turnover that led to a goal by Brock Trotter. Travis Ramsey and Spencer Machacek got the assists on the IceCaps goal that came 7:25 into the middle frame. The Penguins penalty kill improved to three for three as they killed off a Brandon DeFazio high sticking minor in the period.
The Penguins came out firing to start the third period, with a great opening shift by the Pens' fourth line of DeFazio, Zach Sill and Ryan Craig. But after a lengthy delay for a cut in the ice in the Pens offensive zone, Brock Trotter got a lead pass and scored his second breakaway goal of the night, giving the IceCaps a 2-1 lead.
The Penguins continued to battle but were unable to draw even. Then with 1:54 left, Thiessen came out to play a puck and turned it over and it was quickly in the back of the net. 3-1 IceCaps. The Penguins pulled the goalie with 1:20 to go but to no avail.
Game Two is tomorrow night at 6 p.m. EST at the Mile One Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Portland Teachers Vote to Strike
Written by Steve Herman on February 6, 2014
PORTLAND, Ore- It has been almost a solid year of negotiations and Wednesday night at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, teachers made the vote to strike.
The vote was nearly unanimous, 98% of the teachers voted in favor.
Dozens gathered outside chanting there support while teachers made there vote. They will officially notify the district later Thursday of there intent to walk out February 20th.
District superintendent Carole Smith says "I'm really disappointed that the teachers union called for a strike, even as we're actively in mediation."
Both sides plan to meet on Sunday to continue trying to reach an agreement.
So what are teachers and the district still fighting over?
There are three main sticking points starting with class sizes. The district says the average class room size is 24, but teachers claim the average is actually higher.
Another sticking point is the length of the school year. The district wants to add three days, however the teachers only want that added to low-performing schools.
And lastly is salary. The district is offering teachers a 2% increase each year for the next three years. The teachers want more.
The teachers union in Portland represents 2,900 educators. The district has nearly 48,000 students.
In support of teachers, Franklin High students are planning a walkout. They plan to march to the more visible Division Street at 12:20pm. Avery Bloch is the student union member who organized the walkout. He says "To be honest I think it will morally support them. Teachers at school who talked to me today were impressed with the idea. My English teacher and all my teachers that I have a huge amount of respect for were very happy and like to know we care about it too," Bloch told KXL.

Chicago Bears
Tom Zbikowski - #36 - S
|5' 11"/ 200 lbs.
|Park Ridge, IL
|Notre Dame
|Years played
|2008, 3rd round, 23rd pick by Ravens
Favre active, Peterson inactive vs. Bears
Vikings QB Brett Fave has been elevated to the 45-man game-day roster against the Bears on Monday, but RB Adrian Peterson will not play.
Report: Tinoisamoa will not play vs. Vikings
The Bears will be without SLB Pisa Tinoisamoa for the fourth time in their last five games when they play the Vikings Monday night.
Bears-Vikings prediction
There are a couple significant variables that add intrigue to this game, but neither is powerful enough to swing it in the Vikings' favor.
Vikings make QB moves, place Hutchinson on I.R.
The Vikings made multiple quarterback moves on Monday in preparation for their game tonight vs. the Bears.
Vikings P Kluwe says TCF Bank Stadium 'unplayable'
The Vikings will host the Bears Monday night at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium, though if it were up to punter Chris Kluwe, the game would be held at a different venue.
Bears' O-line still has 'long way to go'
While its worst days could be behind it, Bears ORG Roberto Garza told PFW he's not satisfied with the performance of the offensive line.
Flashback: Recent Week 15 Bears performances
Take a quick stroll down memory lane with PFW for a recap of the Bears' Week 15 contests in each of the last five seasons.
Injury report for Bears-Vikings MNF game
Here is the injury report for the Week 15 Monday-night game, Chicago at Minnesota, showing the status of each injured player.
Vikings-Bears matchup of the day: Saturday
Here's another key matchup to keep an eye on when the Vikings take on the Bears in Week 15: Bears DE Julius Peppers vs. the Vikings' offensive line.
Favre now listed as questionable vs. Bears
After earlier being listed as out for Monday night's game against the Bears, Vikings QB Brett Favre now has been upgraded to questionable.

Bears-Vikings matchup of the day: Friday
Devin Hester didn't have a return for touchdown against Minnesota in Week 10, but he did put the offense in good field position, returning two kickoffs for 100 yards and two punts for 47 yards in Chicago's 27-13 ...
Three-and-out with Bears ORG Roberto Garza
PFW caught up with Bears ORT Roberto Garza this week and we discussed the Vikings' defensive line, the continuity in personnel on the offensive line and the development of the Bears' starting right tackle, rookie J'Marcus Webb.
Bears fantasy focus
TE Greg Olsen has only one catch in each of his past three games and none of the three grabs has resulted in a gain of more than nine yards, but he could be targeted more frequently against Minnesota.
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with Zbikowski.||||||| The Notre Dame alum and professional boxer has appeared in 64 games with 25 starts over five seasons with Indianapolis in 2012 and with Baltimore from 2008 to 2011. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Zbikowski recorded 89 tackles, three interceptions, eight pass break-ups and two sacks during those seasons.
The Colts have released Zbikowski after one season with the team. When the Colts signed Pro Bowl safety LaRon Landry to a four-year, $24 million contract late Wednesday night, Zbikowski became expendable.||||||| The Notre Dame alum and professional boxer followed coach Chuck Pagano and teammates Brandon McKinney and Cory Redding from Baltimore to Indy last season. He started 11 games, finishing with 47 tackles, one sack and one interception while returning six kickoffs for 123 yards.
Zbikowski returned to start Sunday's playoff game against his former team.||||||| Zbikowski had not played since Nov. 25.
On Saturday, the team signed Zbikowski. The safety is the second former Baltimore player to join new coach Chuck Pagano in Indianapolis. Details of the contract were not immediately available.||||||| The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder played the past four seasons in Baltimore. He has 49 career tackles, two interceptions, one sack and 58 special teams tackles since joining the NFL. He played in college at Notre Dame.
An adviser to Zbikowski says the Baltimore Ravens safety is disputing a positive drug test administered after a weekend boxing match in Oklahoma.||||||| Zbikowski fought Saturday at the WinStar World Casino, knocking out Blake Warner of Oklahoma City in the first round and improving his record to 4-0. Sixteen fighters underwent drug tests and five of them came back positive. A tribal spokeswoman says the Chickasaw Nation Gaming Commission suspended those fighters for 45 days. Zbikowski's manager, Mike Joyce of Chicago, says he's been told Zbikowski tested positive for traces of a substance found in marijuana.

Let me first congratulate the State women's gymnastic team which received its 11th consecutive NCAA Tournament bid. Is this State's best athletic program?
I have written about Maryland's Alyssa Thomas before. Alyssa at six feet two inches is dominate in ACC women's basketball. She was a WBCA, WSBWA and AP All-American last year, and was last year's and this year's ACC player of the year.
I watched her play against Michigan State last night and was again amazed with her play. While she is not the point guard on the team, she directs the offense a majority of the time. Time and time again she goes basket to basket finishing with a bank shot or a pull up jump shot. She had 28 points against Michigan State.
Does anyone know of a power forward in men's basketball in the ACC who compares to Alyssa? I don't. Further, would it not be nice if State had a player who could drive to the basket and pull up for a jump shot as opposed to making a wild attempt for a bank shot. Here's looking at you Krystal Barrett. I know you can do it.
I will be watching UNC verses the Delaware Blue Hens tonight in the NCAA tournament hoping that six-five Elena Delle Donne can finish the TarHeels.
Elena was the number one player coming out of high school in 2008. She had attended a UNC basketball camp as a seventh grader. Hatchell offered her a scholarship. She said not. Yahoo! UCONN offered. She signed. Boo! She left after two days of summer school because she missed her sister Lizzie who has cerebal palsy. Yay in leaving UCONN for family! She signed with Delaware playing volleyball in 2008 and leading the team to the conference championship. The she moved to basketball.
Last year, Delle Donne was a WBCA, John Wooden, AP and USWBA All-American.
Delaware is hosting the TarHeels but will be wearing dark uniforms becasue they are the number six seed while the TarHeels are the number three seed. Go Blue Hens and go Delle Donne!

11Beyoncé Writes Feminist Essay: 'Gender Equality Is a Myth'
Beyoncé has been lauded as a bit of a feminist icon throughout her career, but especially after the release of her self-titled album in December. The record covered lots of different themes, from sex and lust (PLENTY of that) to the way society shapes young women into people who lack self-confidence and aim only to please other people. I think Bey is a great feminist (even if she does have a few too many tickets on herself, so to speak) and now she's taken it to the next level by writing an essay about gender (in)equality.
Here's en excerpt from the essay as published on The Shriver Report:
We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn't a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.
If women received pay equal to their male counterparts, the U.S. economy would produce $447.6 billion in additional income.
Humanity requires both men and women, and we are equally important and need one another. So why are we viewed as less than equal? These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning. We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.
We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together. Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities.
The full essay can be seen in the latest issue of The Shriver Report, entitled 'A Woman's Nation Pushes Back From the Brink', which is available on Amazon for free until tomorrow.
In any case, I dig what Beyoncé is saying here and it's certainly ridiculous that women are still paid less than men for the exact same job, and that certain fields are still unfriendly towards inclusion of women – tech and sciences being the biggest culprits here, but there are plenty of others. Still, it's a shame we have to have Beyoncé point out the obvious for us to pay any attention to it, even though it is a great thing that she's using her status for good.

"The American Association of University Women has now joined ranks with serious economists who find that when you control for relevant differences between men and women (occupations, college majors, length of time in workplace) the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing. The 23-cent gap is simply the average difference between the earnings of men and women employed "full time." What is important is the "adjusted" wage gap-the figure that controls for all the relevant variables. That is what the new AAUW study explores."
That was an interesting read….and it proves the point that statistics are only valid if the info provided is valid.
The Obama Administration is notorious for underpaying women. She should talk to her buddy in the White House.
"According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000)."
Does she want to serenade him with "At last, my love has come" again? :D
so its obama fault? really …….
Yes, absolutely. Always blame it on Obama. It's the American Way!!!!! Wheeee!!!
I just can't stand her. I think she is ridicuoulsly overrated in everything EXCEPT her beauty and body.
I find her two cents worthless…she's worth billions (what does she know about fair wages???) and she uses sex and all things tawdry to market her work (hello, feminist regression!). I don't see her as an empowered woman. I see her as part of the lame-ass machine. She's famous because she is beautiful and has an amazing body…and lots of people have bad taste in music…I guess that's the new savvy intellectual.
Totally agree. A true feminist wouldn't be caught dead in a weave, 4 inch heels and the makeup beyonce wears. She wouldn't even go bungee jumping off that building without her mask on
total nonsense! but what can you expect from a woman.
women are now, and have always been……a dime a dozen!

Technology: The who, what, where, when and why of crafting litigation hold notices Protecting discoverable data is one of the first steps counsel should take when their company is sued
Barry Shelton, InsideCounsel
This column presents practical, prudent actions to take upon learning the company is a defendant in state or federal court.
One of the first steps that in-house counsel should take upon learning of an action filed or threatened against the company is issuing a litigation hold, or preservation, notice. This is a written instruction to individuals and/or departments that are custodians, or potential custodians, of data in any form that might be relevant or responsive to discovery requests in the suit.

Kris Bovy is a zooarchaeologist, specializing in the analysis of animal bones from archaeological sites in North America. She earned a B.S. (with distinction) in Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and went on to complete her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Washington (Seattle).
The focus of her research is on the history of human and animal interactions in marine settings. Kris attempts to both better understand past human behavior and generate data to address contemporary environmental and biological conservation issues. Archaeology can provide the critical long-term temporal dimension needed to understand human response to gradual and abrupt environmental changes (e.g., climate change, tectonic events, sea level rise) and also the current status of modern animal populations. Kris has conducted analysis and fieldwork in a wide variety of settings throughout North America, but specializes in the analysis of bird bones from shell midden sites in the Pacific Northwest Coast.
Kris is a member of URI's Archaeology Group, a multidisciplinary team of faculty who teach archaeology and related courses in the departments of Anthropology, Art, History, and Philosophy. She teaches introductory and advanced undergraduate courses, including Introduction to Archaeology, Archaeological Method and Theory, Coastal Archaeology, and Seminar in Cultural heritage.

The Real Boy by Anne Ursu
On an island on the edge of an immense sea there is a city, a forest, and a boy named Oscar. Oscar is a shop boy for the most powerful magician in the village, and spends his days in a small room in the dark cellar of his master's shop grinding herbs and dreaming of the wizards who once lived on the island generations ago. Oscar's world is small, but he likes it that way. The real world is vast, strange, and unpredictable. And Oscar does not quite fit in it.
