"One thing to remember is Rashad is instrumental in this whole Jackson phenomenon starting." - Keith Jardine, teammate and BFF of Rashad Evans. Evans officially left Greg Jackson's camp after Jon Jones defeated Mauricio Rua at UFC 128. (ESPN)
"He was one of the first guys to come in from out of town and join the team. And he was a guy who, when the sport was growing, he was winning fights and everybody was looking at him as he was getting better. People were calling Rashad up and he was bringing people to town, and without him, who knows if any of that would have ever happened?" - Jardine
"The thing with Rashad is, he said he was okay with Jon coming on the team." - Greg Jackson, now on his second case of a prodigious talent pushing out an establish Team Jackson veteran. (MMA Fighting)
"The sides were chosen a ways back. I feel bad saying that, but I don't want to look like a bad guy and I don't want [the Greg Jackson team] to look like a bad guy." - Mike Winklejohn, Team Jackson's striking coach. (MMA Fighting)
"Rashad lost to Machida, and he basically left. I know he left me, so that's how I feel. ... He went on the 'Ultimate Fighter' show, he didn't call, and that was it. Then Jon Jones comes in." - Winklejohn. Take note, Team Jackson fighters: if you lose, make sure to call Mike Winklejohn afterward.
"I'm not choosing Rashad over Jon Jones or Jon Jones over Rashad; I'm staying out of the entire thing." - Jackson, doing his best King Solomon impression.
"I haven't thought about it too much, but no question I would be supporting Rashad. He's one of my closest friends in the world. I have a lot of loyalty and friendship with him." - Jardine
"I was out of order. As a father, as a mixed martial artist, or possibly even as a role model, it's not a way I should be behaving. It's not how a mixed martial artist should be acting; not how any many should be acting." - Michael Bisping, on the infamous incident following his UFC 127 fight with Jorge Rivera where he got in Rivera's face and spit on Rivera's cornerman. (MMA Mania)
"I want to make it clear – I never spat on his cornerman. I spat on the floor to let him know what I thought of him." - Bisping. That makes it better.
"If it was to be him next, I'd look forward to the verbal sparring, but I'm sure he wouldn't go to the depths of offence that this guy [Rivera] did." - Bisping, on...Chael Sonnen?
"I feel as if someone stole something from me." - Mirko Filipovic CRO COP, on his round three knockout loss to Brendan Schaub at UFC 128.
"It is clear that in this sport without hunger, desire and ambition there is no success, and it is clear also that I don't have this in me any more." - Filipovic. Thousands of Pride fans still can't come to grips.
"I was surprised by the [knockout] blow. It was just the same as against Frank Mir." - Filipovic
"I like that people bring me up when Jon Jones comes up. You just have to make sure that you let people know that...I don't want to be walking in his shadow." - Phil Davis, who defeated Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in a one-sided decision in his ninth professional bout. (MMA Mania)
"You're talking to two guys that love to bang. All right, plain and simple. We don't - we don't like that, you know, lovey dovey stuff. You know what I'm saying? We wanted it keeping on your feet, give everybody what they want, what they paid their money for." - Anthony Johnson, who upset a small contingent of babies after wrestling with Dan Hardy for 2 rounds at UFC Fight Night 24. (Bloody Elbow)
"I knew I could do that, but I knew his weakness was his wrestling, and I know that's one of my strengths. I just took it to my advantage and used it." - Johnson, who is not Jorge Gurgel. (MMA Fighting)
"I constantly hear about, oh, you know, you got lots of fans and your fan base grew and people - people know who you are now and stuff like that. But I look at it from an athlete point of view. And an athlete needs to win fights." - Dan Hardy, prior to the fight with Johnson. And to win fights, an athlete might want to learn how to wrestle.
"His life is going to change in so many ways starting right now." - UFC President Dana White, on his new light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. (USA Today)
"There's cling-ons all over, I'm sure, waiting to just [expletive] barnacle right on to him." - White, not only using the word "barnacle," but using it as a verb.
"I'm telling you, you wait and see the people that start clinging on to Jon Jones - the dirtiest, nastiest, scuzziest, scummiest, most disgusting human beings on the face of the Earth will start to cling on to this guy and become barnacles and get in his ear and try to pull him in different directions." - White. A couple more uses and "barnacle" will be "in the mix."
"I told him he could be a mix between Jordan and Ali." - Urijah Faber, on Jon Jones. (Yahoo!)
"Scott was in it for the long haul. He probably had another five years, but time and business is everything. This was the UFC's time to make a move and they did." - Frank Shamrock, who might be out of a job this time next year. (MMA Fighting)
"It's probably toward the end of July or mid-July, but we have fights with Fedor that we're gonna honor and continue forward. We're gonna do the co-branding exercise that we do with M-1 every time we do fights with them." - Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, counting down the days until he doesn't have to work with M-1 Global anymore. (Sherdog)
"In the scope of some major sports that's considered old." - Amir Sadollah, on being 30. (Bloody Elbow)
"I think that's gonna be a pretty easy fight, I really do. I think GSP's going to be able to do whatever he wants." - Matt Hughes, on Georges St. Pierre's fight with Jake Shields at UFC 129.

Welcome to the 21st Century. One day, you've got no radio, and you're dubbing music onto cassettes – if you're rich. The next, you're part of a wired global music phenomenon dancing to avant-garde electronic noises made by machines – and you're learning how to make those sounds yourself for an audience back on the other side of the planet. (Hey, I'm just a Kentucky boy. I find this all futuristic, too.)
Yet it may be the ones in denial about this phenomenon are some of us who have been living in the big cities – New York, Berlin, LA, London. The good news is, everyone is about to tune into sounds that have traveled trans-continental distances. And in that exchange, the music will change. Sometimes it's traveling abroad that makes us discover the sound of where we came from; sometimes it's hearing something from abroad that reveals some side of us we didn't know – when the foreign feels personal.
VICE/Thump did a quick film with BOSE. It's a bit of a tease to those of us who would want to get to know the music better, like watching an advertisement about the topic. But there are some gems in there. Let's consider it the trailer to a conversation I hope we have on CDM.
And one of these quotes, while coming from the Indian experience, will no doubt sound familiar to everyone reading this site – that first time you heard new sounds.
"When I heard Prodigy, for example, I was, like, what are these guys on? I mean, this is insane. How can you make these sounds? It was just like music from another planet. It was crazy. I was like, that's what we need to do here."
Yep. That's the feeling. Continue reading »

(Reuters) - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich on Tuesday accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his government, a presidential decree published on his website said.
He ordered all ministers in the outgoing government to stay on as acting ministers until a new cabinet had been formed, the decree said.

So I was really intrigued by some of the Steelers offseason moves with both Leonard Pope and Will Johnson.
Then I came across this article about the 3-tight end set and the future of the NFL:
Now, granted, what this dude is saying is a bit radical and crazy, (as in the 3-tight end set will revolutionize the NFL like the West Coast offense did), however, notice how this guy has actually been strangely prophetic:
1. First of all notice that this was written in 2009, one year before the Patriots drafted Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
2. Secondly, notice that he lists 3 teams that are the farthest ahead in embracing this idea: New England, Denver, and Pittsburgh. (Remember this was BEFORE New England drafted Gronk and Hernandez).
3. Thirdly, hasn't it been obvious that we have had a fixation on TE's? I mean, i thought it was a BA thing, but this off-season has proved me wrong, the Steelers are going with the TE philosophy--and as New England has shown us, it can work REALLY WELL if you have the Personell.
4. Even though we have tried to get TE's, the personell hasn't obviously worked out. Let's face it. Spaeth was a bust. Plus, we never had a guy like Danny Woodhead on our team to really make use of the TE's. Now we do (Rainey).
5. I don't see a big correlation with Denver, but they are drafting TE's, not sure any more than other teams though. They are also very interested in Dallas Clark and Jacob Tamme in FA, but that has more to do with Peyton Manning than anything probably.
6. The magic behind the 3 tight end set is mismatches. This is what the NFL is all about anymore. Mismatches and smoke and mirrors. Kind a sad to see the days when the NFL was all about grit and straight up physicallity, but it's not anymore. One neat thing about this is that he predicts this shifts much of the focus of the offense from the QB and WR's to the RB's and TE's like the days of old.
What do you think? Coincidence or could this guy be on to something?

AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) - Jamal Crawford scored a season-high 30 points, including 12 straight to start the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Clippers looked just fine without Chris Paul in a 117-109 win over the struggling Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
The Clippers won their second game in a row despite missing their star point guard, who is day to day with a bruised right kneecap.
Los Angeles used a big third quarter to take the lead, and Crawford extended the advantage to 20 by outscoring Houston 12-7 in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.
James Harden had 23 points for the Rockets, whose 4-game losing streak is a season worst.
The Clippers improved to 11-1 this season when the 12-year veteran Crawford leads the team in scoring.

January Jones was back to her best on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City this evening.
The 'Mad Men' actress wore an Atelier Versace Spring 2012 gown.
Her yellow custom strapless gown with structured metallic details and a peplum waist was inspired by the yellow bodysuit presented on the runway.
I love her sleek blonde locks and vintage Cartier yellow gold, diamond, and turquoise necklace, but the gown sells itself so it wasn't needed.
Gold Versace heels completed her look.
It's good to see January back in top form.

Customer Reviews
- Love it ! Review by Kevin
- This is everything as advertised. Great board for cruising. The large wheels and 10lb weight means the board goes over any bumps, sticks, and cracks with ease and the momentum keeps speed for a long stride... (Posted on 12/22/13)
- SNAP Longboard Unboxing and Review Video Review by Freshwoodboardshop.com and AZPUSH Skate Club
- See the video unboxing and review in the VIDEOS section. (http://snapskateboard.com/videos) (Posted on 11/11/13)
- This is a genius product that is super convenient and easy to take anywhere! Review by Andrew A
- The SNAP Longboard is hands down the best commuter board I have ever had. I can skate around campus and go to class without worrying where I am going to wedge my board, it just slides right under my seat! I don't have to apologize to people who have to climb over my board in the isle when they are walking by and it fits in my locker at work! I used to ride around a mini board, but it just doesn't have the same comfort that I get with a longer board. ... overall, great board! (Posted on 11/8/13)
- Not bad. Review by Eruruehdb
- Wheels and bearings are pretty nice. Note: this board is for sliding, downhill, carving and cruising... (Posted on 7/12/13)
- Amazing! Review by tsypit
- This board is sooooo good I love it! Rides so smooth and goes fast. Good bearings from the start. (Posted on 4/24/13)
- Not too bad! Review by Muppet
- So far, the wheels and board rides smooth, and the ability for it to fold is great for classes. Not too bad weight wise, at the 10lbs, but all in all, I'd recommend this board to those who do not do major jumps. As "skate-pro-100" put it, it's good for slide, downhill, freestyle, carving, and cruising, but no jumps, flips, etc. (Posted on 3/14/13)
- So good! Review by skate-pro-100
- This board is easy to pack away, I'm lovin it right now easy to slide, downhill, freestyle, carving and cruising. (Posted on 1/11/13)

I don't post as often as I should. Here is some recent work. Been experimenting with bookmarks and earrings in addition to the necklaces and boxes I have been making for quite some time.
Bookmarks are glued up in blocks and thin strip ripped either on the bandsaw or tablesaw with a thin strip jig. Earrings are make in larger blocks also and then resawn on bandsaw with a stop block to keep thickness consistent. Post on earring glued on back with super glue before finish so it penetrates wood more.

Susan G. Komen - Race for the Cure by Teri's Tata Crew - almost 3 years ago
"I designed these shirts through Customink for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on 1st October 2011 in Houston Tx. A bunch of soccer players, family and friends participated in support of our friend Teri Feller who is currently fighting Breast Cancer. The ease of use of Customink's website to design the shirt, the many options available both in shirts and artwork, was extensive. I was really happy with the communication from the company once I placed my order and felt confident the shirts would be exactly what I wanted. Many thanks, I will be returning again!"

Meningitis is diagnosed in less than 3,000 people in the U.S. each year. Most common in college students and children under age 1, the disease can lead to serious health complications like brain damage or hearing loss. This week, Dr. Tedd L. Mitchell tells us what meningitis is and how it can be prevented.
Tedd L. Mitchell, M.D. is president of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and this is the President's Prescription:
College students and young children are most at risk for contracting Meningococcal disease, or meningitis, because infectious diseases tend to spread more quickly in community settings like residence halls and daycare centers.
Bacteria that cause meningitis, an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, are spread through close contact including kissing and sharing personal items like cups or lip balm. In addition, a lack of sleep from studying or partying can run down a person's immune system, making them more susceptible to the disease.
Symptoms typically develop three to seven days after exposure and may include fever, vomiting, confusion, stiff neck, headache and nausea. If caught early, the disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
The best way to prevent meningitis is to practice healthy habits like avoiding cigarettes and getting plenty of sleep, staying away from people who are sick, and getting vaccinated. The vaccine prevents four of the 12 types of meningococcal bacteria, and takes effect two weeks after immunization.
For more information about the Texas vaccination requirements for children and incoming college freshmen, visit the Texas Department of State Health website at www.dshs.state.tx.us.

School Reviews
- March 14, 2014 - Our child has grown into a confident, independent person who is respectful and compassionate. Montessori fosters independence while balancing it with community spirit. Kids learn to manage their time as well as work in teams. Montessori is a diverse environment that fosters critical thinking and social awareness. Kids are taught to respect themselves and the community at large. - Posted by Parent
- March 14, 2014 - We have been part of this wonderful school for over 10 years. One of our kids has already graduated and currently excelling in high school. The other is still at the school and also doing extremely well. Both children are also socially well-adjusted. We credit the individualized education and nurturing environment at the TMA for their successes. Truly, we love this school, its teachers, and the wonderful administration. - Posted by Parent
- July 03, 2013 - We have a son who graduated from TMA and two daughters enrolled in the elementary program. Our children have thrived here. My son has scored highly on academic tests for high school and will be in the honors program- he is well-prepared. There are two teachers in every room, a challenging curriculum individually tailored to each child, and children work at their own pace. The community is composed of excellent, dedicated teachers (some have been here over twenty years,) and involved families- there are many fun events where we can gather and get to know each other. International Festival highlights our diverse community and is one of the best events of the year. The school has an award winning design, including a full gymnasium with stage. My kids have loved being part of the sports programs. We highly recommend TMA. - Posted by Parent
- May 01, 2012 - We have a four year old in the preschool and a 2 year old in the toddler program. Our experience has been exceptional. The children absolutely love going to school, they enjoy their teachers, the work they do and they are very proud of what they learn. We find the facilities to be very clean and child friendly, in every aspect, down to the small size toilets in their preschool building. Their teachers are all friendly, respectful and experienced. There is a real sense of community within the school, and families are given many opportunities to be involved with the school. We highly recommend this school and are proud to be a part of the TMA family! - Posted by Parent

Jennet Mallow is born in Yorkshire in the 1920s but her interest in art and creativity alienates her from her family, her father who is a priest, her conventional sister and her emotionally stunted mother. Jennet moves to London in search of a more exciting life and finds it in her new environment and in the handsome and enigmatic figure of the painter David Heaton. When Jennet falls pregnant, her parents more or less force the two to marry. In the post-war austerity of the 1940s, the young couple struggles to make ends meet and Jennet finds that her home life is gradually eroding everything she has fought to achieve. Aware that David is becoming increasingly reliant on drink and tired of the dank and drab bed-sit in which they live, Jennet suggests they move to Spain. There, the bright blue skies, warm air and sunlit beaches give the couple and their children a new lease of life. Jennet begins to paint again and an agent takes an interest in her work. But as Jennet's own career begins to take off, her relationship with David sours and the two enter a destructive spiral with tragic consequences.

A novel that echoes biography: Jennet Mallow leaves behind Yorkshire for the cultural maelstrom of London. She struggles to transcend the challenges of marriage - her artist husband vacillates between acclaimed inspiration and alcoholic oblivion - and motherhood, but never relinquishes her own dreams of artistic recognition. Kay's vivid and elegant writing allows the possibilities of expression through language and painting to intersect.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Brazil – Summer jobs boost staffing industry
The staffing market in Brazil will show further growth this year as demand for temporary agency workers in the summer season will remain strong in the leisure and entertainment sectors where 28,000 temporary posts are expected to open.
This is a +12% increase from a year ago, new research by recruitment trade bodies Asserttem / Sindeprestem show.
The majority of these temporary jobs – around 24,000 – will be filled at entertainment and leisure venues such as theme parks, clubs, hotels, campsites, bars, restaurants and tourist agencies. Demand for tour operators, waiters and those doing room service will also be high.
Candidates need to bring strong leadership skills and opportunities vary for people with or without higher levels of education. The research shows that 6,000 of those 24,000 jobs are likely to be filled by young first-time jobbers.
Most of the job openings can be found in the Southeast of the country in states such as São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.


text: Ban on Gays in the U.S. Military Set to End By Roy Maurer 7/27/2011 President Barack Obama formally certified on July 22, 2011, that the U.S. military is prepared for the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy—the 17-year-old law that banned openly gay men and women from military service—as Pentagon officials confirmed that nearly all service members had been trained in preparation for gays and lesbians serving openly in their ranks. In a written statement, Obama said the ban "undermined military readiness and violated American principles of fairness and equality," adding that the military will no longer be "deprived of the talents and skills of patriotic Americans just because they happen to be gay or lesbian." Under a bill passed in December 2010 that set up a process for repealing the controversial policy, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, along with Obama, had to sign a certification that confirmed the military's ability to accept the integration of openly gay and lesbian troops. After certification, a 60-day waiting period began before the repeal is to be implemented fully, now set for Sept. 20, 2011. The certification comes after an extended preparation period sought by military leaders, many of whom initially were reluctant to end the policy. Pentagon officials said they will use the 60-day period to review the possibility of extending some limited health, housing and legal benefits to same-sex couples. Under current law, particularly the Defense of Marriage Act, the Pentagon is prohibited from giving federally financed benefits to same-sex couples. The Pentagon said that more than 1.9 million of 2.2 million active duty and reserve service members had been trained in preparation for the end of the policy. The department said the training sessions lasted from 45 minutes to 75 minutes and were conducted in groups of 50 to 250 service members. The sessions included a PowerPoint presentation as well as discussions of hypothetical situations. SHRM Online reported on the Pentagon's training materials here. At a Pentagon news conference, Major General Steven Hummer, chief of staff of the Repeal Implementation Team, discussed some of the key changes under the repeal. "Upon repeal, statements about sexual orientation will no longer be a bar to military service. Upon repeal, the services will no longer separate service members under 'don't ask don't tell.' Upon repeal, former service members solely discharged under 'don't ask don't tell' may re-apply," Hummer said. There will be no changes in deployment or living quarters as gay members will be subject to worldwide deployment while the living quarters will remain as they are today, and commanders cannot physically segregate members by sexual orientation, Hummer noted. Mullen said certification did not mark the end of the military's work on the policy change, adding that training will continue and the policy will be adjusted as needed. A Long Time Coming Two gay rights groups at the forefront of the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal effort voiced their approval of the certification. Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese said in a statement, "The president's certification of repeal is a monumental step, not just for those forced to lie in order to serve, but for all Americans who believe in fairness and equality. We thank all of the brave men and women who have continued to wear the uniform under a policy that forced them to hide who they are. The end of that shameful time is thankfully near." Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) Executive Director Aubrey Sarvis celebrated the certification of repeal but warned that "repeal is just one important milestone along the journey to achieving LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] equality in America's military," and called for the president to issue an executive order prohibiting discrimination and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in the armed forces. "It's critical that gay and lesbian service members have the same avenues for recourse as their straight counterparts when it comes to harassment and discrimination," said Sarvis. Criticism Not Abiding Critics of the policy have been vocal since the president's signing of the certification. "History will hold accountable President Obama, members of the previous lame-duck Congress, and gay activists who misused the federal courts in order to impose LGBT law and policies that will undermine morale and readiness in the all-volunteer force," said Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, which fought to keep the ban on gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military in place. Religious freedoms have concerned some critics of the repeal. "Our troops' religious liberties are in unprecedented jeopardy because the government has caved in to pressure from small groups of activists to impose homosexual behavior on our military," the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group said. "The first casualty may well be the religious freedom of chaplains and service members. No formal protections have been adopted despite many having been proposed," the group said. "No Americans, and especially not our troops, should be forced to abandon their religious beliefs." Roy Maurer is a staff writer for SHRM.

Hello, Cagesiders! Welcome to the tenth Cageside Seats Week in Wrestling of 2013!
What happened last week? Find out below, Cagesiders.
Raw (Mar. 4th)
- The show started off with a tease of an appearance by The Undertaker, but CM Punk with Paul Heyman came out instead, cutting a promo claiming that at WrestleMania he would beat The Deadman and end his streak. Randy Orton, Big Show and Sheamus also wanted the opportunity, so Vickie Guerrero booked a Fatal Four Way match between the foursome to determine the challenger to Undertaker at WM.
- Ryback pinned Antonio Cesaro with the Shellshock. After the match, Ryback had a staredown with Mark Henry, who was coming out for the next bout.
- Mark Henry pinned Zack Ryder with the World's Strongest Slam.
- The Miz (with Ric Flair) submitted Dolph Ziggler (with AJ Lee & Big E Langston) using the Figure Four.
- The Rock and John Cena had a confrontation, where Cena put over how devastating last year's loss to the movie star was for his professional and personal life, while Rock told Cena how he was full of crap just like Lance Armstrong was (he's one to talk).
- Hacksaw Jim Duggan (with Dusty Rhodes and Sgt. Slaughter) defeated Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter) by disqualification when Swagger immediately hit Duggan with the 2x4. The dastardly heel then took out Rhodes and Slaughter with the wooden plank and clamped the Patriot Act on Duggan until the ref prised him off.
- This led to a pull apart brawl between Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger backstage.
- Team Hell No defeated The Prime Time Players when Kane pinned Darren Young with the chokeslam. After the match, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase stuffed a 100 dollar bill into Darren Young's mouth, but Daniel Bryan stole it off him.
- Heath Slater told The Honky Tonk Man that he should return to Las Vegas.
- This led to Brodus Clay & Tensai quickly defeating Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre when Tensai rolled up McIntyre for the pin. Afterwards, Honky broke his guitar over Slater's head.
- Kofi Kingston vs. Fandango didn't happen as Fandango refused to wrestle due to Justin Roberts mispronouncing his name.
- In his first promo back, Triple H officially challenged Brock Lesnar to a match at Wrestlemania 29.
- A handheld cam vignette by The Shield aired where they threatened Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show.
- Alberto Del Rio submitted Wade Barrett with an arm bar, despite being momentarily distracted by Jack Swagger.
- A video promo by Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter about political correctness aired.
- The New Age Outlaws defeated Epico and Primo when Billy Gunn pinned Primo with the Fameasser.
- Mean Gene Okerlund hosted a party for Mae Young's 90th birthday, which was rudely interrupted by CM Punk and Paul Heyman.
- CM Punk unsurprisingly defeated Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show in the Fatal Four Way match to determine The Undertaker's opponent at WrestleMania when Punk pinned Orton with the GTS, which was perfect timing for the bells to toll, the funeral dirge to play and The Deadman to raise fire from the stage and glare in Punk's direction.
NXT (Mar. 6th)
- Due to last week's no-contest, NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes booked a rematch between Bo Dallas, Conor O'Brian and Corey Graves to determine the number one contender to the NXT Championship and said he had spent money from his own pockets to hire additional security to keep The Shield out of the arena to guarantee a victor.
- Adrian Neville's tag team partner Oliver Grey was missing and he didn't know where he was despite warming up with him earlier and having a match scheduled now.
- Adrian Neville defeated Scott Dawson and Judas Devlin in a handicap match when Neville pinned Dawson with the corkscrew shooting star press. During the match The Wyatt Family dragged Oliver Grey's limp carcass out to the top of the ramp, but Neville still won regardless of this distraction. Afterwards, The Man That Gravity Forgot tended to the wellbeing of his fallen comrade.
- Kassius Ohno did a promo hyping his match next week with Derek Bateman and building up his feud with William Regal, who he called "a great villain masquerading as a hero".
- Leo Kruger submitted Yoshi Tatsu with an armlock. After the match, Kruger reapplied his finishing hold until Justin Gabriel made the save.
- Cameron, Naomi & Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox, Aksana & Audrey Marie when Naomi pinned Ms Marie with a flashy scissor kick.
- Bray Wyatt interrupted his real-life brother's Bo Dallas' white meat babyface promo to tell him that he would have had protection against The Shield's interference last week if he only had joined his creepy family. Dallas wisely wanted nothing to do with them.
- Summer Rae claimed that the lonely losers in attendance only like Paige because they think that she's attainable, unlike her good self, in a promo furthering that feud and setting up a match with Emma next week.
- A shaky cam video from The Shield's secret hideout aired where they declared that although they've been distracted by business on Raw and Smackdown, they haven't forgotten the injustice that caused Seth Rollins to lose the NXT title.
- Conor O'Brian defeated Bo Dallas & Corey Graves in a three-way match to become the #1 contender to the NXT Championship when Dallas was distracted by Bray Wyatt and O'Brian pinned him with a full nelson slam.
Main Event (Mar. 6th)
- Wade Barrett bragged about attending the red carpet premiere of his movie, Dead Man Down, the previous night, until Randy Orton interrupted him.
- Randy Orton pinned Wade Barrett with the RKO.
- Cody Rhodes pinned Zack Ryder with the Cross Rhodes.
- Sin Cara pinned Antonio Cesaro with a top rope hurricanrana.
Superstars (Mar. 7th)
- The show opened with a graphic of the late Paul Bearer.
- Team Rhodes Scholars defeated The Usos when Cody Rhodes pinned Jimmy Uso with the Disaster Kick.
- Layla pinned Tamina Snuka with a roll-up.
Smackdown (Mar. 8th)
- Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter started the show with their usual anti-Mexican immigrant rhetoric. Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez then came out and aired a spoof video impersonating those two Real Americans, which left the heels really pissed off.
- Team Hell No defeated Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre when Daniel Bryan submitted Slater with the No Lock. As usual, Kane and Bryan squabbled after the match.
- Dolph Ziggler promised to make history in his title match against Alberto Del Rio tonight. I guess he didn't mean attempting to break the record for most jobs of a title contender in history.
- Ryback and Mark Henry had another brief stare down backstage.
- Ryback pinned Damien Sandow with the Shell Shock.
- Big Show doesn't understand The Shield's beef, as he just enjoys knocking people out that are in his way. He blamed Sheamus and Orton for being attacked by the mercenary trio.
- Alberto Del Rio submitted Dolph Ziggler with his Cross Arm Breaker. During the match, Ricardo Rodriguez threw a bucket of water at Big E Langston, who dodged out of the way and it hit AJ Lee instead.
- Former love interests AJ Lee and Daniel Bryan had an uneasy reunion backstage with AJ making fun of Bryan for losing the World Heavyweight title in 18 seconds to Sheamus at last year's WrestleMania, while Bryan insinuated that AJ's sex with Dolph Ziggler is over just as fast.
- Mark Henry pinned Yoshi Tatsu with the World's Strongest Slam.
- Sheamus did a comedy promo bitching that Big Show never thinks that anything is his own fault.
- Tamina Snuka quickly pinned Kaitlyn in a non-title match with the Samoan drop when Layla accidentally distracted the WWE Divas champion.
- Cody Rhodes asked his academic best bud Damien Sandow what he thought of Kaitlyn as a woman. His illuminating answer was stated thusly: "She's made the most with what she can, considering she has come from a clearly deficient genetic pool."
- Once again Fandango refused to wrestle as Lillian Garcia continually mispronounced his name.
- Smackdown GM Booker T is upset at Fandango's behaviour and wanted his assistant Teddy Long to find him.
- Another of Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter's propaganda videos aired.
- Sheamus vs. The Big Show ended in a no-contest when The Shield predictably interfered. Randy Orton attempted to make the save, but failed miserably. However, Show recovered, cleaned house and helped the two babyfaces rid the ring of The Shield. Then he KO'd Sheamus with the WMD and got hit with an RKO from Orton.
Saturday Morning Slam (Mar. 9th)
- Natalya pinned AJ Lee when she reversed the momentum of a top rope cross body block.
- Daniel Bryan pinned Wade Barrett with a crucifix. After the match, Bryan hugged his tag team partner Kane who had been announcing during the match. You can tell this show is taped!
- Next week the new General Manager of Saturday Morning Slam will be revealed. It's about time!
Impact Wrestling (Mar. 7th)
- The show started with Kurt Angle refusing to tell us who the leader of Aces & 8s was whom he had unmasked last week.
- Austin Aries informed us that he has no idea where Bobby Roode is, but that's okay, as he won last week with out his partner, before calling out Jeff Hardy.
- Jeff Hardy defeated Austin Aries by disqualification when Matt Morgan interfered. Bully Ray made the save for his opponent at Lockdown.
- Matt Morgan promised that he would gut through the entire TNA roster just as he had warned Hulk Hogan that he would do in the past.
- Wes Brisco did a promo claiming he would use Kurt Angle as a stepping stone at Lockdown. This led to a brawl between the two, which Al Snow and D'Lo Brown were attempting to break up when D'Lo turned on Angle and revealed himself to be the VP of Aces & 8s. Shouldn't Kurt have seen that coming?
- Devon pinned Sting with a Yakuza kick after a planted fan hit Sting in the face with a beer.
- Gail Kim told Velvet Sky that she's serving the champion notice, which led to Sky slapping her in the face.
- Lei'd Tapa was given the opportunity to talk her way into a Gut Check contract over Ivelisse Vélez in a questionable decision.
- Chavo Guerrero, Hernandez & Velvet Sky defeated Christopher Daniels, Kazarian & Gail Kim when Gail pinned Sky with the Eat Defeat.
- AJ Styles' friend was looking for him when AJ appeared and slammed his friend's head into a car. No more Mr. Nice Guy!
- Magnus & Samoa Joe defeated DOC & Garrett Bischoff when Magnus pinned DOC with a top rope elbow drop.
- Lei'd Tapa won a Gut Check contract by two votes to one.
- Robbie E told Rob Terry that he will "never, ever, ever be on the Bro List again."
- Mr. Anderson pinned James Storm with the Mic Check.
- In the main event segment Bully Ray told Jeff Hardy how proud he was of him for battling back from his personal demons to become the World champ again and with Hulk Hogan's encouragement they finally shook hands. Of course, Aces and 8s had to come down to spoil this special moment, but thankfully Team TNA stopped the stable from beating the two babyface headliners up and ruining the Lockdown main event. The show ended with a big brawl between the two factions.

Seeing that time travel hasn't been discovered (or has it?) I went ahead and expanded on an earlier project. In this version I have taken all of the forwards and defensemen (for fun I have included something similar with goalies below this) and reviewed their past three NHL seasons and have provided an average of goals scored and games played. Some players will have an occasional off year or injury filled year so players with three seasons of play have their lowest GPG average dropped from the calculations. Something similar is also done in regards to calculating average games played. Below you will find 14 forwards and 7 defensemen that make up the current Avs (no rookies are included). Listed next to each one is the average games played over the seasons calculated and the goals they would score (on average) based on that number of games. There are 984 games available in the 12 forward spots and 492 games available in the 6 defensemen spots (all based on 82 games in a season) so after the top 12 forwards and top 6 defensemen are slotted into the games available, McCleod, Lindstrom, and Cumiskey have their calculations done due to being reserve forwards. To cap it all off is the total goals for the team.
Galiardi (15g/70) Stastny (22g/78) Jones (22g/59)
Mueller (18g/76) Duchene (26g/81) Hejduk (27g/77)
Yip (16g/71) O'Reilly (11g/78) Kobasew (17g/66)
Porter (13g/74) McClement (12g/82) Winnik (9/77)
Lindstrom (8g/44) McCleod (7g/51)
Quincey (5/73) Johnson (9g/78)
Hejda (5g/80) O'Bryrne (1g/70)
Wilson (3g/64) Hunwick (7g/75)
Cumiskey (5g/52)
of course this is a young team so the thought is that a lot of these players will be more productive than this but it still is interesting to see the team goal scoring potential based on the players' average scoring (and games) over the past few years.
I used a similar idea with goaltending. Unfortunately Varlamov was still working to grab the starter reigns so it is hard to do the "average games" approach with him (or even JSG). Even though Varlamov was injured last year, he was still available to start 26 games that he did not. That means he was injured for just over half the games he could have started. If he were to continue to be injured (in just over half the games he could start) he would play in 40 games this season with JSG picking up the other 42 (if he remained healthy). Based on a similar approach with the Goals Per Game average above, I was able to calculate the average Wins Per Game and OTL Per Game for both Varlamov (.59/.22) and JSG (.38/.13). The final numbers look like this:
Varlamov 24-7-9
Giguere 16-20-6
SEASON TOTAL: 40W-27L-15OTL for 95 points
Based on this season, that would be good for #10 in the West and the 14th overall pick in the draft. Anyways, just a fun little project to use stats to see what could happen.

Re: Norm Chow...Sound Familiar?
It looks like Utah's offensive is struggling to pick up the scheme that Norm Chow is implementing. Granted, it's only spring ball in his first year at Utah, but we are also implementing a new scheme and there seem to be far less growing pains. Time will tell, I suppose.

Residents living near Quincy's north side will soon have another chance to voice their opinion on a new controversial city ordinance.
Just last month the Quincy City Council passed an ordinance that would make it illegal to park on the south side of Locust Street between 4th and 5th streets, because of the high amount of truck traffic and for various safety reasons.
But after city aldermen got complaints from residents, they decided to take the ordinance back to the traffic commission committee.
"It just kind of sucks, the closest place we're going to be able to park is a half a block away from our house and other neighbors are going to be the same way we can't park along 4th street either, so it's going to be a little difficult," neighborhood resident Brandon Boden said.
The no parking signs have since been taken down and you will not be ticketed for parking in that area.
Quincy's traffic commission committee will be holding another meeting for the public to voice their opinions on February 11 at 6:30 p.m. in city hall.

I know there's all this draft talk going on but I'd like to take a look at some possible Free Agents that the Broncos might pursue before the draft. I think that there's a consensus among Broncos fans that our main needs are CB, DT, RB, and MLB. Obviously our O-Line can always use some help and depth but I don't feel that this position is one of our most pressing needs. That being said here are some players that I wanted to bring to your attention and get some thoughts.
Brent Grimes: I see him as one of the more underrated CB's in the league and I doubt Atlanta lets him go. Will be 29 next season but age doesn't seem to be a huge problem with DB's. Has 41 tackles, 1 FF, 1 INT and 14 PD in 12 games this season.
Carlos Rodgers: Probably the most underrated CB this season turns 31 next season. Even though he may not be a long term fix he is someone that would fill the #2 CB spot next to Champ. Through 15 games this season he has 39 tackles, 6 INT, and 15 PD on what I consider the best defense in the NFL this season. I doubt the 49ers let him go but if they do he could be an interesting prospect.
Cortland Finnegan: Although he's a douche, this guy can play. Going into next season he will be 28 years old. Possibly the best run defending CB in the 2012 Free Agent class, he has 74 tackles, 1 INT, and 11 PD in 15 games this season. Tennessee has been reluctant to give him an extension so I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to leave. He'll require a high price tag and personally I'd prefer the Broncos don't pursue him but I wouldn't be disappointed if they did.
Brandon Carr: I feel like there's no way the Chiefs let him get away because of his age and his production, but I would love to steal him from our division rivals. Has 43 tackles, 3 INT, and 13 PD this year and although he didn't have the breakout season that was expected he's still a great #2 corner at only 26 years old at the beginning of next season.
Tracy Porter: No thanks. Too inconsistent and has had problems finishing a whole season.
Terrell Thomas: Interesting player that had a season ending injury. Great in run support and could come at a discounted price due to his inability to play this season. I say if anyone we take a chance on him considering he's going to be 27 years old next season and had two excellent years before.
Defensive Tackles
Amobi Okoye: An okay option for 2012 and has always underachieved after being picked in the first round by the Houston Texans a couple years back. Is only going to be 25 years old next season and is having a good season in Chicago's 4-3 defense. Has 25 tackles 4 sacks, and 1 FF in 15 games this season. Part of this could be due to all the attention that Julius Peppers creates, but I think he would be even better with Von and Dumervil.
Broderick Bunkley: Please resign him. In my opinion he has been productive this year and is just as good if not better than most of the 2012 free agent options.
Marcus Thomas: Like Bunkley, I also think he is a good situational player that we should try to keep.
Other than that I don't see many attractive targets
Middle Linebackers
Curtis Lofton: Complete stud in the middle of the Atlanta defense. I doubt they will let him walk but at 26 years old at the beginning of next season, 133 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, and 1 FF he would be an amazing pickup and would make the Broncos have one of the top tier linebacking corps in the league.
Stephen Tulloch: Having a great year for the Lions I also doubt that they will let him walk. At 27 years old he would also be an attractive target after having 104 tackles, 3 sacks, and 2 INT through 15 games this season.
Dan Connor: Possibly one of the more interesting and realistic 2012 MLB FA's, Connor played for Fox in Carolina. Although he was behind great MLB's in Carolina, he has had more opportunities to play this season. He has compiled 70 tackles an 1 FF in 10 starts this season.
Running Backs
Ray Rice: No way Baltimore lets him go.
Matt Forte: Could be had at a discount price after his knee injury but I think someone might overpay him. I also don't think he will return to the Bears; therefore, I think he could be an interesting pickup. He's an extremely diverse back and almost impossible to tackle in the open field. He will be 27 years old at the beginning of next season so he does have a couple years before he hits the infamous 30.
Ryan Grant: Had a great year in Green Bay but his injury history concerns me and I'd prefer we stay away.
Peyton Hillis: Great back when he's healthy but that wasn't the case this year. I figure someone will overpay for him and I'd prefer it if we stayed away although he is finishing the year strong.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis: No thank you.
Cedric Benson: No thank you.
Marshawn Lynch: Possibly the most interesting free agent to me, he will be only 26 going into next season. Personally, I don't see Seattle letting him get away but if they do I would be interested. I'm not sure how much his stats are padded by his rigorous workload but considering he averaged 4.2 YPC and he played in a somewhat one dimensional offense proves to me that he can get it done. Guy is a TD machine and runs great between the tackles.
Overall the RB and CB positions are a lot deeper in FA compared to the DT and MLB positions. Ideally I would like to get a DT or CB in the 1st round of the draft and address RB and MLB either through Free Agency or later in the draft. I'd also like to see what we have in Nate Irving before drafting a MLB in the first two rounds of the draft. Hope you enjoyed reading this and if there are any players that you would also suggest feel free to inform me!
