Irreplaceable ... Stirling Mortlock. Photo: Getty Images
1. Youth is not always lost on the young. One of the most onerous burdens on players in the modern game must be the half-time interview. An expectation of insight on the game raging around them is a heady demand. But Liam Gill's effort during the Chiefs match was something to relish. Despite being dragged all over the paddock for a decent portion of the opening period against an attack described by Ewen McKenzie as having "octopus"-like qualities, there was pure enjoyment on the face of the outstanding young No.7 as he unaffectedly and gleefully described the battle. And don't be fooled by the youthful looks – he is part of a Reds pack that is streetwise as well as hard-working. A decade of interstate battles between Gill and Michael Hooper awaits.
2. There is no such thing as Stirling Mortlock and coincidence. A departing Rebel has been identified as a possible cause of the Melbourne side's form reversal, but it has also coincided with the return of New Zealand's worst nightmare to the playing 22. There is a touch of the bittersweet about watching Mortlock play in his twilight years – a reminder to Australian rugby about an irresistible midfield force that has yet to be replaced. The legs might be slower but the mind was sharp in his interchange of passes with Cooper Vuna to kill off the surprisingly meek Crusaders, who barely got out of first gear.
3. The margins can be painfully thin. Those with a broad sporting palette might have watched the sideline agonies of Manchester City's Italian manager Roberto Mancini at the weekend. Lobbing some very Anglo-Saxon terms at his players and resembling Basil Fawlty as his season appeared to be slipping away, Mancini was seconds away from national-joke status. Now with a Premier League title in the bag he is deemed a savvy man-manager on the cusp of a dynasty. Similarly, while the Waratahs have their flaws, finding a way to narrowly lose against the Bulls doesn't necessarily condemn them to the train-wreck category. Rob Horne finally hit a flat ball from a very well-executed lineout move and the scrum confirmed its position among the elite. They can still dent the Brumbies and Reds' finals ambitions even if they fail to make it themselves.
4. The Stormers have their own issues. An inability to manufacture tries and a debilitating injury list in the back row (they lost another No.8, Nizaam Carr, at the weekend) are conspiring to soften the chances of the Stormers going the whole way this year. They could have easily lost against the Cheetahs, have a question mark at scrum time concerning the tight-head work of Brok Harris and constantly fret about an injury to Andries Bekker. The early-season sense of invulnerability has disappeared.
5. Julian Savea is adding polish to the power. The hype surrounding the big Hurricanes winger has been present since an outstanding under-20s campaign two years ago, but he is starting to justify it. Given room to wind up, there is a force of nature at work – he lifted Highlanders hard man Jarrad Hoeata clean off his feet with one charge last weekend – but the Brumbies are certain to test his work under the high ball on Friday. Freshly named in the All Blacks' initial 35-man strong training squad, the injury to Richard Kahui has opened up a potential pathway to a Test debut.

Niskayuna High School German Program Rockt! by Niskayuna High School German Program put Niskayuna on the map at the German-American Parade in New Y - 11 months ago
"The Niskayuna High School German Program marched in the 56th annual German-American Steuben Parade in NYC on Sept. 21, 2013. Our energetic group of 38 (German teachers, students, friends, and future German students) wore the awesome custom t-shirts printed by CustomInk. The eye-catching design was the result of a t-shirt design contest the German Program held in January 2013. Parade watchers told us that our red t-shirts really stood out! When the German Program decided to sponsor a t-shirt design contest, we knew we wanted an easy way for students to submit their designs to us. CustomInk really stood out with great reviews and also provided everything we were looking for. Niskayuna students used CustomInk's design lab and then submitted their custom designs to the judges. Really, it was so easy! Working with CustomInk was a great experience. The customer service was outstanding and the Niskayuna HS German Program will definitely use CustomInk in the future. "

|MongoDB Inc.
|Initial release
|Stable release
|2.6.4 / 11 August 2014
|Development status
|Written in
|Operating system
|Available in
|Document-oriented database
|GNU AGPL v3.0 (drivers: Apache license)
MongoDB (from "humongous") is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster. Released under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License, MongoDB is free and open-source software.
First developed by the software company 10gen (now MongoDB Inc.) in October 2007 as a component of a planned platform as a service product, the company shifted to an open source development model in 2009, with 10gen offering commercial support and other services.[1] Since then, MongoDB has been adopted as backend software by a number of major websites and services, including Craigslist, eBay, Foursquare, SourceForge, Viacom, and the New York Times, among others. MongoDB is the most popular NoSQL database system.[2]
Development of MongoDB began in 2007, when the company (then named 10gen) was building a platform as a service similar to Windows Azure or Google App Engine.[3] In 2009, MongoDB was open sourced as a stand-alone product[4] with an AGPL license.
From version 1.4 (March 2010) onward, MongoDB has been considered production ready.[5] The latest stable version, 2.6, was released on April 8, 2014.
Licensing and support[edit]
MongoDB is available for free under the GNU Affero General Public License.[4] The language drivers are available under an Apache License. In addition, MongoDB Inc. offers commercial licenses for MongoDB.[1]
Main features[edit]
Some of the main features include:[6]
- Ad hoc queries
- MongoDB supports search by field, range queries, regular expression searches. Queries can return specific fields of documents and also include user-defined JavaScript functions.
- Indexing
- Any field in a MongoDB document can be indexed (indices in MongoDB are conceptually similar to those in RDBMSes). Secondary indices are also available.
- Replication
- MongoDB provides high availability with replica sets.[7] A replica set consists of two or more copies of the data. Each replica set member may act in the role of primary or secondary replica at any time. The primary replica performs all writes and reads by default. Secondary replicas maintain a copy of the data on the primary using built-in replication. When a primary replica fails, the replica set automatically conducts an election process to determine which secondary should become the primary. Secondaries can also perform read operations, but the data is eventually consistent by default.
- Load balancing
- MongoDB scales horizontally using sharding.[8] The user chooses a shard key, which determines how the data in a collection will be distributed. The data is split into ranges (based on the shard key) and distributed across multiple shards. (A shard is a master with one or more slaves.)
- MongoDB can run over multiple servers, balancing the load and/or duplicating data to keep the system up and running in case of hardware failure. Automatic configuration is easy to deploy, and new machines can be added to a running database.
- File storage
- MongoDB can be used as a file system, taking advantage of load balancing and data replication features over multiple machines for storing files.
- This function, called GridFS,[9] is included with MongoDB drivers and available with no difficulty for development languages (see "Language Support" for a list of supported languages). MongoDB exposes functions for file manipulation and content to developers. GridFS is used, for example, in plugins for NGINX[10] and lighttpd.[11] Instead of storing a file in a single document, GridFS divides a file into parts, or chunks, and stores each of those chunks as a separate document.[12]
- In a multi-machine MongoDB system, files can be distributed and copied multiple times between machines transparently, thus effectively creating a load-balanced and fault-tolerant system.
- Aggregation
- MapReduce can be used for batch processing of data and aggregation operations. The aggregation framework enables users to obtain the kind of results for which the SQL GROUP BY clause is used.
- Server-side JavaScript execution
- JavaScript can be used in queries, aggregation functions (such as MapReduce), and sent directly to the database to be executed.
- Capped collections
- MongoDB supports fixed-size collections called capped collections. This type of collection maintains insertion order and, once the specified size has been reached, behaves like a circular queue.
Prior to November 2012, MongoDB's default consistency model ("write concern") acknowledged writes as soon as they had entered the client's outgoing queue,[13] meaning that the default setup was vulnerable to client crashes.
MongoDB uses a readers-writer lock that allows concurrent read access to a database but exclusive write access to a single write operation. Before version 2.2, this lock was implemented on a per-mongod basis. Since version 2.2, the lock has been implemented at the database level.[14] One approach to increase concurrency is to use sharding.[15] In some situations, reads and writes will yield their locks. If MongoDB predicts a page is unlikely to be in memory, operations will yield their lock while the pages load. The use of lock yielding expanded greatly in 2.2.[16]
Another criticism related to the limitations of MongoDB when used on 32-bit systems.[17] In some cases, this was due to inherent memory limitations.[18] MongoDB recommends 64-bit systems and that users provide sufficient RAM for their working set. Some users encounter issues when their working set exceeds available RAM and the system encounters page faults. MongoHQ, a provider of managed MongoDB infrastructure, recommends a scaling checklist for large systems.[19]
Additionally, MongoDB does not support collation-based sorting and is limited to byte-wise comparison via memcmp,[20] which will not provide correct ordering for many non-English languages[21] when used with a Unicode encoding.
Language support[edit]
MongoDB has official drivers for a variety of popular programming languages and development environments.[22] There are also a large number of unofficial or community-supported drivers for other programming languages and frameworks.[23]
Management and graphical front-ends[edit]
MongoDB tools[edit]
In a MongoDB installation the following commands are available:
- mongo
- MongoDB offers an interactive shell called mongo,[24] which lets developers view, insert, remove, and update data in their databases, as well as get replication information, set up sharding, shut down servers, execute JavaScript, and more.
- Administrative information can also be accessed through a web interface,[25] a simple webpage that serves information about the current server status. By default, this interface is 1000 ports above the database port (28017).
- mongostat
- mongostat[26] is a command-line tool that displays a summary list of status statistics for a currently running MongoDB instance: how many inserts, updates, removes, queries, and commands were performed, as well as what percentage of the time the database was locked and how much memory it is using. This tool is similar to the UNIX/Linux vmstat utility.
- mongotop
- mongotop[27] is a command-line tool providing a method to track the amount of time a MongoDB instance spends reading and writing data. mongotop provides statistics on the per-collection level. By default, mongotop returns values every second. This tool is similar to the UNIX/Linux top utility.
- mongosniff
- mongosniff[28] is a command-line tool providing a low-level tracing/sniffing view into database activity by monitoring (or "sniffing") network traffic going to and from MongoDB. mongosniff requires the Libpcap network library and is only available for Unix-like systems. A cross-platform alternative is the open source Wireshark packet analyzer which has full support for the MongoDB wire protocol.
- mongoimport, mongoexport
- mongoimport[29] is a command-line utility to import content from a JSON, CSV, or TSV export created by mongoexport[30] or potentially other third-party data exports.
- mongodump, mongorestore
- mongodump[31] is a command-line utility for creating a binary export of the contents of a Mongo database; mongorestore[32] can be used to reload a database dump.
According to db-engines.com, in April 2014, MongoDB is in 5th place as the most popular type of database management system, and first place for NoSQL database management systems.[2]
Production deployments[edit]
Some of the prominent users of MongoDB include:
- Large-scale deployments of MongoDB are tracked by MongoDB Inc.[33]
- MetLife uses MongoDB for "The Wall", a customer service application providing a "360-degree view" of MetLife customers.[34] billion documents in MongoDB.[35]
- SAP uses MongoDB in the SAP PaaS.[36]
- Forbes stores articles and companies data in MongoDB.[37]
- The New York Times uses MongoDB in its form-building application for photo submissions.[38]
- Sourceforge uses MongoDB for its back-end storage pages.[39]
- Codecademy uses MongoDB as the datastore for its online learning system.[40]
- Shutterfly uses MongoDB for its photo platform. As of 2013, the photo platform stores 18 billion photos uploaded by Shutterfly's 7 million users.[41][42]
- The Guardian uses MongoDB for its identity system.[43]
- CERN uses MongoDB as the primary back-end for the Data Aggregation System for the Large Hadron Collider.[44]
- Foursquare deploys MongoDB on Amazon AWS to store venues and user check-ins into venues.[45]
- eBay uses MongoDB in the search suggestion and the internal Cloud Manager State Hub.[46]

OK, So I have been interested in aid climbing for quite a while and have thought about making a set of aid ladders for a while as well. I finally got around to pulling out some webbing and getting out the sewing machine to give it a try. I think they look pretty good but I am wanting any feedback from people who have used aiders (not people who have read about them on MP or in a book somewhere). They are about 70in in total length and made from 1in tubular. I used polyester coated polyester thread that was advertised as "outdoor" thread. I put three tacks on each side and from what I can tell so far its holding up. I havent gotten them on rock yet but I hung and bounced in them for a while and there were no signs of stress or wear. The top section (spreader bar/grab loop) are different on each on to see what works best. The first one I tacked everything together and the second I used water knots. The reason for the water knots is I wanted to see how it would hold up compared to the stitching. Although the knots are bulkier and use a bit more webbing I think they will be stronger in the end, but I guess Ill find out sooner or later. Any thoughts, suggestions or critique is welcome as this is a first run/attempt. Thanks for looking Photocodo Both ladders
Sweet! I figured when I saw this post it would be a set of those funky "tied out of one piece of webbing types". Good job. Though with all the effort you might have been better off buying a set.
Photocodo......I've seen a lot of homemade aiders and yours definitely look well built, but time and use will see how they hold up. Many of today's big names in climbing gear started out just like you. Try contacting Russ Walling at FISH products with these questions, as he has the experience and technical expertise to advise you.
Yes I was with Ryan initially, but surprised... these look sharp, maybe plasti-dip on the top couple steps?
I hope you return and report on the difference between the knots and bar tacks on the upper section. These look rad, and I'm curious too hear more about your real world experience.
Looking good. Yates Wall Ladders have nothing on those!
The knot on top looks nice and easy to grab. These things look great...make this stuff too user-friendly and you'll never free-climb again, better watch it!
Years ago I made a set of aiders. My only comment is that bar tacking is an art to get right and not something to take lightly. As such, when I made mine they I utilized a knot for the connecting the loop (your left aider) rather bar tacking (your right aided). The steps were all bar tacks. The reason for this was simple - if something went wrong a knotted aider would basically be a big sling. That is every bar tack could blow and it would still be a sling. That is not the case with with the one that is bar tacked into a loop. A while one can say the chances are slim of some like than happening I would rather hedge my bets. Especially given that aiders are going to be in contact (i.e. rubbing against) the rock. As such, I would not be comfortable with the right aider especially given that there is are only three bar tacks which are of questionable quality/strength.
Did the same thing. Found out tubular sucks balls for aiders, since it is way more flexible than flat webbing. But mine did turn out pretty light since I used 1/2" for the verticals and 1" for the steps. Also "doubled" the top loop with 1" over 1/2"
So I got my aid ladders out today and am pleased so far. It was my first aid climb as well so there was definitely a learning curve but had a blast. The ladders seem to hold up great. They went up 2 pitches and all the stitching, knots etc seem to be holding up fine. I will probably plasti-dip the top few steps and maybe around the stitching too. Pleased so far though. photocodo Not a great picture but here are the ladders in action
Looking good!
Your homemade aiders are looking great, photocodo. What's that crack that you're aiding up?
Yeah its shredded wheat. Im sure people are cringing that I'm aiding such a great free line but it takes such nice gear i thought it would be a good place to climb my first aid pitch.
Those things are 10 times better then the ones I built and started out on. They kinda look like the misty mountain ones I am using now.

Anorexia Nervosa Health Center
Anorexia Nervosa - Topic Overview
All people who have anorexia need treatment. Even if you, your child, or someone else you care about has only a couple of the signs of an eating disorder, get help now. Early treatment gives the best chance of overcoming anorexia.
Treatment can help you get back to and stay at a healthy weight. It can also help you learn good eating habits and learn to feel better about yourself. Because anorexia is both a physical and emotional problem, you may work with a doctor, a dietitian, and a counselor.
If your weight has dropped too low, you will need to be treated in a hospital.
Anorexia can take a long time to overcome, and it is common to fall back into unhealthy habits. If you are having problems, don't try to handle them on your own. Get help now.
It can be very scary to realize that someone you care about has an eating disorder. But you can help.
If you think your child has anorexia:
- Talk to her. Tell her why you are worried. Let her know you care.
- Make an appointment for you and your child to meet with a doctor or a counselor.
If you're worried about someone you know:
- Tell someone who can make a difference, like a parent, teacher, counselor, or doctor. A person with anorexia may insist that she doesn't need help, but she does. The sooner she gets treatment, the sooner she will be healthy again.

Liverpool doctors give woman a revolutionary bionic arm
An arthritis sufferer from Liverpool has become the first person in the UK to have a revolutionary bionic arm fitted.
Irene Purcell from Huyton faced amputation until staff at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital were able to give her a new lease of life.
Professor of Orthopaedics Simon Frostick, also a researcher at the University of Liverpool's Institute of Translational Medicine helped create a device which has synthetic joints at both ends.
It can replace the upper arm bone, the humerus, following arthritis, trauma or infection, or when previous shoulder and elbow replacements have reached the end of their natural life.
The 61 year old Grandmother said the operation has freed her from pain and enabled her to get her life back on track.
"Since it was replaced it was like switching a light off – the pain has gone."

NBC Uses Edited Clips to Recount Romney 'Flubs'
On Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, correspondent Chuck Todd filed a report in which he recounted verbal "flubs" of the Romney campaign, but, as he showed brief clips of past Romney statements, he neglected to provide the full context that would have made the clips seem less embarrassing.
Anchor Brian Williams introduced the report:
Now we switch to the presidential campaign trail where, on the heels of a big win in Illinois just last night, Mitt Romney's campaign found itself once again fending off the damage from a self-inflicted wound, specifically a quote they he would like to have back right about now.
After noting that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush endorsed Romney after the Illinois primary, Todd added:
Still, Bush's signal the Romney's nomination is inevitable was exactly the message that team Romney hoped would drive the day. But, like some other flubs after big primary victories-
Then came two clips of Romney from the past:
MITT ROMNEY CLIP #1: I like being able to fire people.
ROMNEY CLIP #2: I'm not concerned about the very poor.
Todd continued:
-a gaffe rained on the candidate's Illinois parade.

If the so-called news media were to publish the gaffes of Democrats, there would be little time left to bash Republicans. They have such difficult decisions to choose which R to go after. If they "reported" on Ds the same way they do Rs, probably 10 to 15% would be re-elected.
It seems NBC stands for Never-ending Barrack Campaign.

Had one of these at Beermania in Brussels and liked it so much I purchased the rest of themon the shelf (yes I am a pig). Tropical pineapple, banana nose. Hazy golden color. Round banana tropical fruit in the inital taste with a follow up of wheat sweetness in the finish. Slight white head is your friend throughout. Medium carbonation to the delecate mouth. Wonderful fruity and drinkable. Nice aged sample (thanks Nasser!). Brewed 26/10/00 and this was the Wittkerke Speciale Millennium Limited Release.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is wheat with some lemons and toffee. Not quite what I expected from a witbier, but not too bad.
The flavor is not as good and has some unexpected notes. I get the yeast, wheat and lemons like I expected, but I also get some vanilla and cough syrup notes. The beer is also lightly tart, but nothing like you would get from a sour or Berliner Weiss.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Pours a hazy golden color with a creamy white head that fades leaving stick lacing around the glass.
Smell is of wheat, yeast, orange and bread
Taste is zesty with a nice sweat wheaty flavor, some orange and lemon, body is decent. Aftertaste is somewhat lacking, an unpleasant lingering alcoholic flavor stays behind.
Overall I'm not really impressed with this, it's not terrible but it's also not special.

I've wanted to try this for a while. I have a thing for "Beers and Years" or "Beers with Years" -- I'm a slogan visionary! -- and this one seemed too good to pass up.
Well, I should have left it where I found it.
Age has not been kind to this guy. What was probably supposed to be a pleasing combination of exotic fruits -- pineapple, lemon, banana -- turned out to be a nasty, worn down yeast bomb. Harsh, sloppy yeast flavors drown out the fruit and dominate the finish. From what I can tell, there's a lot of this still out there, especially at some of the websites out there, hence the decision to review this rather than letting it slide. Sweet and too yeasty. I barely got 75% of the way through the bottle.

Ginkgo helps support blood circulation and assists in maintaining vein health. Green Tea reduces free radicals throughout the body. Stevia and Lo Han balance the Qi and calm the digestive tract.
Daily HealthWhy turn to pills for your daily supplementation when your body needs the absorption that only a liquid can provide? HerbaSway's complete line of Daily Health formulas helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle, naturally!
Anti-OxidantsHerbaSway has provided people around the world with some of the strongest Anti-Oxidant formulas for over 13 years. Included in the Anti-Oxidant group is HerbaSway's Original HerbaGreen Tea, the first (and the best) green-tea concentrate ever created!
The HerbaSway StoryDr. Franklin and Lorraine St. John founded HerbaSway in 1996 because they were looking for a natural approach to health and nutrition and couldn't find anything on the market that met their needs. They wanted to go beyond the typical multi-vitamin pill and really focus on specific nutritional goals. After a great deal of research, they decided that the best method would be to develop liquid concentrates so that they were better absorbed into the bloodstream.
HerbaSway was Born! The concept of liquid concentrates was relatively new to the American consumer, so HerbaSway set out to introduce it to North America, through health and nutrition stores and on television. Response was enthusiastic and HerbaSway's product line has been growing ever since.
HerbaSway formulas are based on Traditional Herbal combinations that have been used for thousands of years. Using only the purest ingredients and wild-crafted herbs, carefully chosen from around the world in combination with the latest western scientific research, HerbaSway's formulas are synergistically blended to produce optimal balance in your body.

Good Choices Should Come Naturally!Choosing to live a healthy life makes sense, naturally! Eating a well-balanced diet is not enough.

Dozens of guns are on the street after break-ins at two Lakeland area gun shops. The burglaries happened just miles apart, just one hour apart.
Gator Pawn on Combee Road was hit about 10 :30 pm Thursday. An hour later, Derringer Guns was hit on Gary Road, just outside city limits.
In each case, a man wearing a gray hoodie tried to pry open a door to get in, smashed a showcase and grabbed about a dozen guns.
"We're thinking it's the same guy," Sgt. Gary Gross told FOX 13. "We're not real sure. The crime analysts and the crime prevention people are taking a look at the (surveillance video and photographs) and trying to compare them."
The intruder may have left a trail of evidence. At Derringer's, he dropped two guns on the way out, so police have his fingerprints along with other evidence.
"Hopefully, they will catch 'em. I'd like them to drop him off here when they do," said Chad Martin, who works at Gators.

A few people in Swansea think a longtime fixture at the public library has overstayed her welcome. The lady of the library is Penny, a 14 year old cat.
All of this was started by one man who is demanding the cat be out of the library by Friday. He says the cat violates federal disabilities law, because some people are allergic to her.
When you walk into Swansea Public Library you're greeted by Penny. She's a tabby that's been making readers smile for a decade.
"She's got such a good nature. She's good with the kids," said one librarian.
But now Patrick Higgins wants her gone. "I said make the cat disappear by Friday,"
Higgins sent a letter to library leaders and the town saying Penny violates the Americans With Disabilities Act. "You have to make reasonable accommodations to accommodate disabilities, and people with a cat allergy or a food allergy, that's a disability," said Higgins.
Higgins isn't allergic to Penny but says he's gotten letters and phone calls from people who are, and it's not fair to them.
"It's not like when we borrow books or anything, there's not cat hair all over them or nothing," said one library patron.
"I'm allergic to cats," said another patron, "It's never bothered me. I just think it's sad that they're trying to get rid of her."
Having a cat live at the Swansea Library has been going on for decades. Penny and the cats before her have become icons in town, but Higgins says that's not enough of a reason to let her stay.
We checked the Americans With Disabilities Act and didn't see anything in there about allergies. As for Penny, librarians don't know at this point if she'll be able to stay. A hundred people, as of Wednesday night, had already signed a petition to keep her.

And when I say new I mean as fans as I am still pretty new to CJ. But I'm not a new Bengals fan. And never in my wildest dreams would I imgine the bengals to start signing guys the first day of free agency. Nor would I want them too.
Think about it would you rather see us going through what Pittsburgh and oakland are going through in a couple years and do a purge? Or would you rather see us sign some middle of the road player like Langford and Gay and be able to sign A.J. and Dalton after their rookie contract. Also everyone wants to say we can't keep our own players but I haven't heard of any of ours being signed by anyone which means we are still in the running for them. Are we gonna lose some yes we are but we will sign some free agent6s too just not mortgage the farm on them. Give me middle tier players in free agency if it means in a couple years we get to keep A.J. Gresh and Dalton and whoever we get this draft for the longhaul. If we come out and stink up the joint this year then you can say I'm an idiot but untill then don't climb the tower looking for Mikey boy just yet.

After suffering an 0-8-1 streak through much of the new year, Hockey Day in America looked like a very grim prospect for the Chicago Blackhawks. Fortunately, victories over the Rangers and Blue Jackets have diminished the air of panic that seemed to be settling over the club, but the matchup against their unexpected Central Division rivals in St. Louis still provided a tall order for head coach Joel Quenneville. The Blackhawks survived the test, 3-1.
Playing in the second game of back-to-back starts, Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford was exceptional. Despite St. Louis outshooting the home squad by a 15-4 margin, Crawford was able to turn away every attempt until the final thirty seconds of the period, when Andy McDonald scored his third goal in the last three games. Muscling into the crease in pursuit of a loose puck after Crawford was unable to cover up, the veteran center poked it into the goal through the chaos to give St. Louis the 1-0 lead.
With the Blues clamping down through the second period, the home team finally broke through when Duncan Keith took a pass from Patrick Sharp in full flight and unleashed a powerful slapshot to knot things up.
Invigorated by the goal, the Hawks began to put pressure on St. Louis, forcing the Blues back into their zone until a long possession culminated in Dave Bolland firing a puck against into the crease before David Backes accidentally knocked it into his own net.
With Elliot on the bench for the final minutes of play, Marian Hossa deposited an empty-net goal to secure the game for Chicago, but an altercation between Alex Pietrangelo and John Scott escalated into a brawl in the final seconds of the game, including Blues' enforcer Ryan Reaves dropping the gloves with Scott, and both B.J. Crombeen and Jamal Mayers being awarded game misconduct penalties.

VEEDERSBURG, Ind. —It takes hard work, a lot of time, and a deep level of commitment for a team to continue a legacy that was started decades ago.
It also takes heart. Living up to those very expectations left by the current team's predecessors might be all it needs to drive the team to success.
The Fountain Central Mustangs could probably win on talent alone, or by being coached up by an experienced staff. But keeping the program's football tradition alive might give this year's players all the fight they need.
After two years of failing to hoist a postseason trophy, the Mustangs added another piece of hardware to their trophy case on Friday. But more importantly, they continued the Fountain Central football tradition by winning the program's ninth sectional title, defeating the Attica Red Ramblers 48-12.
"We've talked about tradition here and these kids, whether it was their dads or uncles or brothers and just friends that have played football here," Fountain Central coach Brian Moore said. "When it's your time and you have all of this tradition — and there is a lot of tradition here at Fountain Central through a lot of great, great years, and through the decades. When it's your chance to come out and play on Friday, this is such a big deal."
It was the Mustangs' first sectional title since 2010, and they have found success despite the absence of arguably one of their best players, senior Jack Bolin, who has never played a down this season because of an offseason injury.
Bolin's presence on both sides of the ball was expected to play a big role in Fountain Central's success. But with other players stepping up, the Mustangs (11-1) used their defense to advance to a regional game for the fourth time in the last eight years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- New recommendations from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force is not recommending all adults ages 15 to 65 be tested for HIV.
Evidence shows those who are screened for the virus can potentially start treatment earlier in the disease process, which improves their outcome.
They are also less likely to spread the virus.
Previously, the organization only recommended screening for those considered high risk and pregnant women.
The test would be conducted at routine doctor visits, unless the patient declines.
The recommendations are posted online for public comment for the next four weeks.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and other medical groups have released similar recommendations.

What luck: Prices for electricity and home heating oil are expected to hit record highs -- just as the days are getting shorter and colder. And this is only the beginning: It's estimated that the cost of electricity might jump another 9 percent this winter, with heating oil not far behind with a 6 percent increase. That's on top of big increases that have already taken hold -- 34 percent for heating oil during the first six months of 2008 and 12 percent for electricity during the first five months, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.
But there are simple ways to fight back against soaring energy expenses. It's hard to estimate just how much you can lower bills, but here are 20 tips that can certainly add up (some, like a programmable thermostat, can save hundreds of dollars all on their own):In the Kitchen
1. Don't overstock your fridge. Holidays mean an abundance of food, but because air can't circulate properly in an overloaded refrigerator, the compressor has to work harder than it should.
2. Buy a toaster oven so you don't have to turn on the full-size oven just to reheat a turkey breast.
3. Try making holiday meals in a slow-cooker. According to Progress Energy, a North Carolina energy company, it costs 2 cents an hour to use a slow cooker -- only 18 cents for an eight-hour roast. Firing up an electric oven burns more than 22 times as much power per hour.
4. Use ceramic or glass when cooking -- it allows you to lower your oven temperature by about 25 degrees F. and the food cooks just as quickly.
5. Deck the halls (and save money). If you're into lighting up your house with holiday decorations, opt for LED holiday lights. The bigger your display, the bigger your savings when the power bill arrives in January.
6. Thinking about a new TV for the holidays? Today's plasma and LCD sets can account for about 10 percent of the average home's energy consumption, so pay attention to ratings from the federal program Energy Star.
7. Think you can't air-dry your clothes when the snow's falling? Indoor drying racks let you do just that, allowing you to keep the dial on your clothes dryer in the "off" position -- and eliminating a major electricity drain.
8. Twenty degrees or lower outdoors? Not a good time to use the fireplace -- you'll lose more heat up the chimney than you'll generate.
9. For a wood-burning fireplace or stove, try to chop logs to a diameter of from 4 to 6 inches. This increases the surface area exposed to the flame, so the fire will burn more efficiently and create more heat.
10. Install "furnace filter alarms," which make a whistling sound when they sense that the filters are dirty. Clean filters help your furnace run most efficiently.
11. Investigate a variable-speed direct-current motor to replace your furnace's regular motor. By pushing heat produced by the furnace throughout your house, a variable-speed motor lets your furnace operate on a lower fan speed 90 percent of the time, reducing electricity costs.
12. Buy a programmable thermostat, which automatically lowers the temperature when you don't need as much heat, such as at night when everyone's sleeping. According to Energy Star, the average household can save about $150 a year with this fix.
13. Consider making landscaping changes. Well-positioned deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter, allowing more sunlight to heat your home. They're just as beneficial in the summer, providing shade that cuts cooling costs.
14. Install an energy-efficient pet door. More than just a lightweight flap, energy-efficient models have a much better seal, minimizing heat loss when your dog heads outside or in.
15. Lubricate door locks and hinges to make sure they close completely for the best possible seal.
16. Check your recessed lighting -- great-looking, but a potential heat leak. Install airtight fixtures, if necessary.General Tips
17. Moving? Consider the location -- good southern exposure can drastically cut heating bills. On sunny days open all south-facing curtains and blinds for passive solar benefits.
18. Don't forget to reverse ceiling fan rotation (there's a switch that makes this easy). The fan should move counterclockwise, which forces warm air back down into the room. That means you can lower the thermostat.
19. Watch "vampire power," or energy use from appliances that are turned off but remain plugged in. Unplug them when they're not in use. Coffeemakers, toasters, and computers are major culprits.
20. Turn off bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans as soon as you've finished bathing or cooking -- they're a major source of heat loss.

Just to the right of The Heavy Hitter 5.10c and between two small trees is a relatively new route called M & M that goes at about 5.11-. Cruxy from the third to the fourth bolt and a steep finish to the anchors. It's still a bit chossy from he fourth to the seventh bolt but it should clean up with traffic.

This is the first spring training game of the season, which means that there is some novelty involved in the return of baseball. It means change, and the approach of summer! It also means that there's still time for us to discover who will be this year's Sean Kazmar or Gabe Gross before we become unbearably sick of seeing their names in the lineup. Treasure this moment.
These Mariners will be sending out a squadron that looks something like this.
CF Saunders
3B Seager
DH Morales
RF Morse
LF Ibañez
C Montero
1B Mike Jacobs
SS Robert Andino
2B Carlos Triunfel
"P" Noesi
As I began typing this up, Raul Ibañez had a ball go off his glove. I feel like I'm already set for the season.
The Padres meanwhile will be sending out a lineup full of Padres. Did you know the Rene Rivera is catching for them? Of course Rene Rivera is catching for them.
We'll be seeing a different pitcher every inning so there won't be much of Noesi. That's an incentive to continue listening if baseball is still a thing that excites you. Rizzs has mentioned Andrew Carraway, D.J. Mitchell, Chance Ruffin, and Oliver Perez. I don't know where the excitement went. Some Padre just hit a grand slam.

Years ago, my sister stood on a packed MUNI bus to go home. While she was standing, she was sexually harrassed by another passenger. Being that this was a crowded bus, nobody but my sister and perpetrator were aware of what happened. My sister, afraid of the consequences of speaking up, decided to remain silent and get off as soon as she arrived at her stop.
In middle school, I sat in the back of the 30 Stockton where passenger seats are facing each other rather than facing forward. As soon as I sat down, I saw the man sitting across from me pull his penis out and start masturbating right in front of me. Like my sister, I said nothing and immediately got off the bus.
Last week, my mom was taking a crowded 9 line and sat in the seniors/disabled persons section. She sat in between two men who were obviously neither seniors nor disabled. While my mom was sitting, one man put his hand behind my mom and pinched her butt twice. Meanwhile, the man on the other side incessantly nudged my mom's leg with his leg. The week before, my mom's friend was beaten while trying to stand up for herself. Because of this, my mom was too afraid to speak up against these guys.
Because of these past experiences, I would like to encourage anyone who may experience any type of harrassment while on Muni with other people to speak up about it.
With that said, what can we do to make the ride on Muni safer? What can we do to encourage people to speak up for themselves?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville police say they have not filed charges as of yet in the shooting of a 12-year-old boy Tuesday night.It happened on Mt. Holly Road in Fairdale.
The boy, whose name has not been released, was shot in the chest and is listed in critical condition at Kosair Children's Hospital.
Police recovered a gun at the scene and claim several people were inside the home when the shooting took place. They say they don't believe the shooting was self inflicted, but are still trying to piece together what happened.
His mother could be heard screaming from the front porch to another family member that "he was shot with a Glock."
"I think it's a little chaotic," said Jonathan Hodges, a neighbor. "I just moved here. It makes you want to move now because this is unsafe for my family and everyone else in the neighborhood. I think this is pretty overboard, you know."
Neighbors say this isn't the first time they've heard gunfire coming from that home - and they say they even heard shots earlier in the day.
Police say they are still investigating.

I was thinking of situations that can happen and this came to mind . it could happen. My Ideal outcome would be trade ben Gordon,sweetney, the sixteenth pick in this years draft and cash to the Goldent State warriors for SG Jason Richardson. then with our first pick I would select Lamarcus Aldridge from Texas and sign Free agent forward Al. Harrington from the Atlanta Hawks. I would sign free agent matt harping to help as a back up shooting guard with our money we have. I know alot of you dont want gordon to go but we need a tall guard to help kirk out on defense and a guy who can defend Lebron and Wade. Plus jason richardson might be unhappy in golden state and I think they would willing to trade him if the right package presesnted itself. jr is also from Michigan and wen't to Michicagan State just like Scott Skiles so Im sure they would get along. I would love to see a back court of Heirich and Jason Richardson.
our lineup would be: heinrich, richardson, Deng, al. Harrington, Chandler and duhon,Matt Harping, Nocioni,Songalia, Aldridge making up an amazing bench. Plus if Aldridge progresses then you can start him later in the season. I would love to see this happen and this would be an amazing team thanks tell me what you think,
