Two days ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the third of four reports this year on the current state of global heating. This one, as distinct from the other two, also included an overview of the solutions to this civilizational crisis.
It was good that, once again, the work of the IPCC was in the news. The solutions they put forward were generally sound. And it was good that, although they put forward nuclear power as possibly in the mix, they also said, in the understated language of science, that "safety, weapons proliferation and waste remain as constraints."
But it was disturbing to read in an Associated Press article that this report projected a range of between 450 to 650 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as the target range for the eventual stabilization of our climate in coming decades. It was disturbing because accepting anything higher than 400 ppm as an ultimate goal means accepting an unacceptably high level of risk of runaway global heating. And when I printed out and studied the IPCC's 35-page "Summary for Policymakers," it was even more disturbing to find "445 to 710″ used as the figure, and several places where it was implied that "490-540″ or "550″ ppm are OK as targets.
George Monbiot, in a May 1 column, "Giving Up On Two Degrees," in the Guardian newspaper, blew the whistle on what was going on, and, as usual, he didn't mince words:
"The rich nations seeking to cut climate change have this in common: they lie…. The governments making genuine efforts to tackle global warming are using figures they know to be false. The British government, the European Union and the United Nations all claim to be trying to prevent 'dangerous' climate change … [and] there is a broad consensus about what this word means: two degrees [C; 3.6 degrees F] above pre-industrial levels. It is dangerous because of its direct impacts on people and places (it could, for example, trigger the irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet and the collapse of the Amazon rainforest) and because it is likely to stimulate further warming, as it encourages the world's natural systems to start releasing greenhouse gases….
"A paper published last year by the climatologist Malte Meinshausen suggests that if greenhouse gases reach a concentration of 550 ppm, there is a 63-99 percent chance (with an average value of 82 percent) that global warming will exceed two degrees. At 475 parts the average likelihood is 64 percent. Only if concentrations are stabilized at 400 parts or below is there a low chance (an average of 28 percent) that temperatures will rise over two degrees….
"You begin to understand the scale of the challenge when you discover that the current level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (using the IPCC's formula) is 459 ppm."
It is important to keep in mind a couple of things about these IPCC reports. First, they are finalized through a process that involves both scientists and representatives of the world's governments, including the
The other thing is that the IPCC reports have limitations. A New York Times article of February 3 this year, for example, written by Andrew Revkin and Elisabeth Rosenthal, referring to this year's first IPCC report, explained that "other scientists have recently reported evidence that the glaciers and ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic could flow seaward far more quickly than estimated in the past, and they have proposed that the risks to coastal areas could be much more imminent. But the climate change panel is forbidden by its charter to enter into speculation, and so could not include such possible instabilities in its assessment."
There is significant evidence that the pace of global heating is accelerating.
One of the most recent is a study that, according to a group of American researchers, arctic sea ice is melting faster than computer models of climate calculate, and is about 30 years ahead of predictions made by the IPCC. Dr. Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the
Last fall, a scientific study revealed that between 2004 and 2005, Arctic perennial sea ice, which is 10 or more feet thick and which normally survives the summer melting season, abruptly shrank by 14 percent.
An article in the August 2006 issue of Science reported that the speed at which the
A September 8, 2006 Associated Press story based on a study published in the journal Nature reported that methane, a greenhouse gas 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (although much less long-lasting in the atmosphere), is being released from melting permafrost at a rate five times faster than previously thought.
And ice cores drilled in
We are in a planetary emergency, pure and simple.
It's time for the climate movement in the
It was very positive that last month's Step It Up actions were so widespread, in all 50 states, and involving so many people, 150,000 or more. But it was also critical that this April 14′s mobilization targeted the federal government by its call for Congress to enact an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (I think it has to be much faster than that.)
We need to follow up and increase the pressure on Congress. Republicans and Democrats alike need to feel the heat of an aroused citizenry demanding immediate action to dramatically reduce emissions, enact a moratorium on any new coal plants and provide serious money, such as $25 billion annually, for energy conservation, efficiencies and clean and safe renewables.
Those who will be involved in efforts to pressure candidates running for president or Congress need to do much more than ask the candidates what they will do if elected. We don't have two years to wait for federal action. Candidates need to be put on the spot as to what they are specifically doing right now to get Congress THIS SUMMER OR FALL to enact strong climate legislation and, especially for Republican candidates, to get George Bush to sign it. Candidates who give lip service and little else on this issue should have their campaign headquarters flooded with phone calls and visitors who refuse to leave until they do the right thing.
Some of us have decided to take this issue directly to members of Congress in
Some of us have decided that if it's a planetary emergency, our actions need to match that reality.

The Role of Shp2 in the Alpha 6 Beta 4 Integrin-dependent Metastasis
Scientific Abstract:
The concept of making targeted chemotherapy a clinical reality for breast cancer treatment began over a century ago when studies began concentrating on identifying proteins that are associated with breast cancer progression and the mechanism by which they promote the survival, invasion, and metastasis of breast carcinoma cells. The a6b4 integrin is one such protein that has been shown to play a role in breast cancer invasion and survival and tumor metastasis by signaling through the large cytoplasmic domain of the b4 subunit. The mechanism by which the a6b4 integrin transmits signals that influence breast carcinoma progression is not fully understood. However, it is known that phosphorylation of tyrosine 1494 (Y1494) in the b4 cytoplasmic domain is required for carcinoma invasion. In this proposal, we hypothesize that Y1494 is phosphorylated by a src family kinase, which recruits the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 to the b4 subunit, and the interaction of SHP-2 with b4 is essential for a6b4 -dependent invasion and metastasis. To investigate this hypothesis, we will perform three Specific Aims. In the first Aim, we will investigate the role of src family kinases in the binding of b4 to SHP-2 by using in vitro src kinase assays and src inhibitors. In Aim 2, we will use various SHP-2 and b4 dominant-negative mutants to determine the role of SHP-2 in a6b4 integrin-dependent breast carcinoma invasion and survival. Finally, in Aim 3, we will stably transfect MDA-MBA-435 and 231 breast cancer cells with expression constructs of SHP-2 and b4 mutants to determine the importance of Y1494 and the role of SHP-2 in a6b4 integrin-dependent metastasis when these cells are grown as tumors in mice. Taken together, our results will establish a mechanism for a6b4-dependent signaling to promote breast cancer progression and identify potential novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for new drug development for the prevention of breast carcinoma metastasis.
Lay Abstract:
In recent years, progress has been made in the treatment of breast cancer through targeting of specific proteins with selective drugs. The key issue in these discoveries was to understand the mechanism by which a normal cell becomes a cancer cell, and a cancer cell becomes invasive and metastatic. Another important factor was to identify cellular proteins that participate in the mechanism of cancer progression. One such protein is the a6b4-integrin. This protein is expressed in normal cells and is important for the stability of cell structure and function. In cancer cells, the a6b4-integrin transfers signals from outside of the cell to proteins inside the cell, which makes the tumor cells more invasive so they are more likely to metastasize. In this study, we propose a mechanism by which the a6b4 integrin promotes the progression of breast cancer through this transfer of signals. We hypothesize that amino acid 1494, which is a tyrosine, in the b4 intracellular domain is modified by src family kinases. This modification allows SHP-2, another intracellular protein, to bind to the b4 subunit, and we predict that this binding is essential for a6b4 to make breast cancer cells more metastatic. In our experiments, we will determine how the b4-protein is modified to transmit signals from outside of the cell. Next, we will determine if the interaction of SHP-2 with b4 is important for making the breast cancer cells more invasive. Finally, we will perform experiments to determine if the modification of tyrosine 1494 in the a6b4 integrin and the binding of SHP-2 to this site makes breast cancer cells more metastatic when grown as tumors in mice. Taken together our studies will contribute to understanding the pathways that promote breast cancer progression. These new findings will be beneficial for developing new therapeutic drugs for prevention of breast cancer metastasis.

My tongue is so firmly in cheek here, I'm putting it as a Fanpost. It isn't like I'll be blocking anything fresh.
We all have nicknames for players, and some that we loathe. Here goes with your chance to promote someone's moniker on BCB. I'm going to principly go with minor leaguers, as those are the games I listen to the most. I have no qualms with people upgrading my nicknames, but mostly it is to save typing space. So if someone hates one of mine, I'll still keep using it, unless they come up with something better.
Javier Baez- Javy or Money Badger. Javy is to save space, The Money Badger (a take on the LSU DB's Honey Badger) is the more formal version.
Pierce Johnson- Ouch. It just is.
Jorge Soler has no nickname. Jorge or Soler works, as we have nobody of note named either.
Logan Watkins- Watty. Very Quade-esque, but it gets it across. Open to an upgrade, but it has to be short.
Darwin Barney- Purple Dinosaur is cool and all, but really long. Not sure.
Albert Almora- No idea. Needs a good one.
Barrett Loux- HC100. Love Plus One was Haircut 100's one hit. We snagged Loux Plus One for Jacob Brigham, who most of BCB was ready to write off. Loux might be no great shakes, but he is HC100.
Jeff Samardzija- Spellcheck. Mainly included for the next one.
Matt Szczur- I kind of like Spellczech, as his name has Czech heritage.
Starlin Castro- SC13 is fine for me. Starcast works. Castro is fine also.
Anthony Rizzo- RizzOMG is arright.
Go ahead and add your own, or critique what I've included. Or forgotten.
Tongue in 'out-of-cheek' mode. For now.

(DNO) A number of issues are expected to be discussed when the Dominica Public Service Union holds its 9th Biennial conference this Wednesday.
General Secretary of the DPSU Thomas Letang says the possible amendments to the constitution will allow members who are retired and no longer employed to enjoy all the rights and privileges of all other members.
"That will allow for structure within the DPSU comprising of pensioners and retires. We are hoping that after discussion we will take all suggestions, recommendations and concerns coming from the members into consideration.
He said this will allow for the development of a three year strategic plan for the DPSU.
The executive report for the last two years will also be presented while four former members will also be honored for their contribution over the years.

What better way to make a statement than by posting our message on a huge billboard by campus? Thousands of people will see it every day. This will help in our efforts to create a groundswell towards our ultimate goal: To obtain effective leadership from the top down in the athletic department.
I haven't yet decided on what the board will say verbatim, but I have a few thoughts in mind that I can share later.
Posting a billboard will help push our mission into the mainstream. Imagine the picture of the billboard being picked up by the mainstream media. It will be sent out and forwarded out in mass by the UCLA fan base through social media. It will be tougher for the AD to ignore our presence.
Depending on location, size, and duration, the billboard could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000. I'm curious to see if there is any initial interest here from folks to donate to this cause if this went forward.
So, what do you say?

SCOTIA, N.Y. - A taste of Hollywood is coming to Schenectady County.
Hollywood Actors Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper are in the area filming for "The Place Beyond the Pines" for the summer.
Gosling was busy shooting scenes on Wednesday in Colonie, along Morris Road, NEWS10 catching some shots of the actor. Movie crews started work at 5:00 a.m. at this location, and are planning on working throughout the day until 9:00 p.m. They even paid to park their trailers in the Stanford Heights Fire Department parking lot.
Costume people, stunt doubles, extras, and set crews all got set up Wednesday morning on the corner of Morris Road and Curry Road.
The rest of the shooting schedule has been kept top-secret; however some people have spotted the stars around town.
Gosling has been spotted at Bombers' in Schenectady, and also at a diner in Scotia earlier this week.
Shooting is supposed to take place at the First National Bank of Scotia, as well. Filming was supposed to start Wednesday at the bank, but has now been delayed due to the weather.
Their website alerts customers the bank is "being used for filming and that it will be closed for one day in the upcoming weeks."
Mohawk Avenue in Scotia is set to soon be transformed into a bustling movie set, which will need to be manned by ten Scotia police officers. Chief Thomas Rush of the Scotia Police Department says he "is happy for Scotia's recognition, but it will be taxing on his department."
The Scotia police force is only made up of thirteen officers, but Chief Rush says "the job will get done."
We are in "Star Watch" here at NEWS10, if you catch a glimpse of the stars or the filming, share your picture with us on Facebook!

Mayor of Harrow plants commemorative tree
Updated 4:26pm Tuesday 18th March 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
The mayor of Harrow has continued on a 23-year tradition of planting a tree to commemorate her year in office.
Councillor Nana Asante planted the tree in Harrow Recreational Ground, in an area called The Mayors Avenue, with the help of pupils of Norbury School pupils.
The planting by the borough's first citizen has taken place every spring for the last 23 years.
The mayor said: "I am extremely delighted to mark my mayoral year with this tradition, which goes back over 20 years.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped with the tree planting, in particular Norbury School who made the day one to remember.
"It is the first cherry tree that has been planted here, and I hope that it will brighten Mayors Avenue with blossom every spring and that visitors to the park will enjoy the cherries when fruit is ready to be picked."

Glyph sells the EC2 PCIe card which is a 1x PCIe card, and can hit speeds of over 110MB/s, perfect for single-drive products like the GT 050Q and PortaGig 50. If you are looking for higher performance, we recommend the Sonnet E4P card. The Sonnet E4P card works with Mac and PC and can hit speeds upwards of 240MB/s per port. This speed may be more suitable to multiple-drive products like the PortaGig 62, GT 062E and ForteRAID. (NOTE: Glyph Manager will not function over eSATA using these cards.)
As for laptops with Express 34 slots, we recommend the FirmTek SeriTek/2SM2-E ExpressCard Adapter. Glyph Manager will function over eSATA using this card. Other cards should work fine too, but Glyph Manager will not function with them.

Duchess of Cambridge made honorary member of All England Tennis Club
7:00am Saturday 26th January 2013 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
The Duchess of Cambridge has accepted an honorary membership title at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Katherine, who is known to be a keen tennis fan and has attended previous Wimbledon Championships, was said to be 'pleased to accept' her honorary title at the historic club.
Membership to the club carries with it the right to purchase two tickets for each day of the Wimbledon Championships.
The Duchess, who is expecting the arrival of her baby in July, is not expected to be able to attend this year's championship.
However should the heavily pregnant Duchess attend a spokesman for the club said they would make "suitable preparations" given her condition.

As always, this is just my opinion.
Well, we've had 5 weeks now to simply enjoy the feeling of winning! It tastes so sweet, I simply love watching the Broncos win. And so far, it feels like our defense has simply been phenomenal over the course of a game and the best ever in the history of the NFL during the second half/4th quarter. Conversely, it seems that our offense has shown weekly improvement and most especially this past week, with the removal of "The Glove", the sky seems to be the limit for what we can do.
D--n it feels good to be a Bronco fan!
But, I like to stay grounded. Like a person who has had bad experiences dating/in marriage, I'm a little gun-shy. I always wait for the other shoe to drop, and like to hedge my bets so I don't get let down too hard. Besides, the memory of Kansas City Week 4 last year is still awfully raw. But over and above all this, I simply don't trust my eyes. I know some here do, and view statistics as being able to magically "prove anything". This statement is blatant hyperbole, but it is unclear exactly what it means. Personally, I know that with my affinity for Fantasy Football and my bias toward the Broncos (to say nothing of my emotional involvement with the offseason storylines) makes me a wickedly unreliable arbiter of fact and truth.
So, I look to others. And the best I have found so far has been the guys at Football Outsiders. They compile an ungodly amount of stats from every season, break down EVERY SINGLE PLAY from EVERY SINGLE TEAM, and then create a statistical web that uses proprietary formulae in order to better account for the complexities of the NFL game. The depth of their research truly is astounding, but it can be overwhelming for those who are not of a statistical bent.
For a brief rundown, check out their "Pregame Show", which is basically a type of 95 Theses that distills years of research into a few easily digestible patterns. It will also be useful to check out their explanation of their major formulae, including their flagship: Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, or DVOA. One final note: it's vital to remember that these statistics are not "pure" -- i.e., they are not raw data like yards or number of plays. They are "tweaked" -- allowances have been made for the quality of the opponents, league average in a given situation, increased importance to red zone or third down, etc. This carries with it some disadvantages, the most pressing being suspicion of manipulation. Yet, given a neutral party that objection comes up pretty hollow. I find that their way of looking at 3rd down efficiency is far superior than the rest of the MSM (i.e., conversion percentage).
So, I've pimped them long enough. What do they have to say about the Broncos' strengths and weaknesses?
Areas of strength: (defined as a top-10 finish, ranked from highest to lowest)
Defending #2 WRs (1st)
Defending #2 WRs (1st)Pressuring the quarterback (2nd)

Offensive line -- Run stuffs for loss or no gain allowed (29th)
Special Teams (29th)
Defensive line -- Stopping runs to the right end (31st)
Offensive line -- Runs to left tackle (31st)
Alright! Everyone's eyes glazed over? In that case, I'll just offer some (semi-)quick thoughts:
- It is incredibly heartening to see how many are listed in the Strengths column, and by comparison how few are areas of deficiency.
- That being said, our special teams (returning) truly is atrocious. Thank goodness for Prater's leg and his 9 touchbacks (tied for 2nd in the league)
- No surprises here: we struggle in short-yardage situations on both sides of the ball.
- It appears that the right side of our D-line (left side of the offense) is particularly vulnerable to running plays. Let's see: that would be primarily Doom/Ayers/Moss, plus also Peterson/Holliday, with a little dash of Williams/Woodyard. It will be neat to see Ayers' development as a linebacker on that side, since we need to shore up our running defense there.
- No surprise again on needing to stop RBs out of the backfield. I watched Sammy Morris last week and was fervently praying "Not this guy! Not again!" We've got to get that fixed before we meet a guy like Westbrook.
- Our rushing offense is a grind-it-out, between the tackles style. Not sure that I particularly prefer a guy like Chris Johnson who is always a home-run threat, but who gets shut down vs. superior defenses. Give me Kno-Mo any day.
There are some on this site who attribute the success of the Broncos entirely (or nearly so) to the defense. Here's a sampling of quotes:
The offense is not the reason for this team's success – in fact, I give it very, very little credit
This success is a product of the defense alone
This offense is no better at scoring (from anywhere on the field) than last season's version
Some of the defenses in the top 10 are heavy to the pass side and middling on the run side (I'm looking at you, NO and NYG). We have a stellar all-around defense.
What's up with not being able to take on #1 WRs? Football Outsiders gives a disclaimer there that defining WR roles is subjective, but still: Ochocinco had modest yardage, Braylon was shut down, who the heck knows who's a #1 in Oakland, Roy Williams was middling, and Moss only had one catch. Eh. I give up.
I thought that TEs were supposed to be the weak point of a 5-2 hybrid? Apparently not for us...
The Chargers are currently sitting at #23 (overall team efficiency), playing 13.1% below the league average. By all rights, this is a game we should win. Our offensive ranking is respectable and we are facing a defense with and atrocious ranking, our densive ranking is spectacular and is facing an offense with a very pedestrian ranking, and both of us have been ranked in the top 10 in consistency so far. This should be a win. Anyone want to go to Vegas?
Note from the site, not shown above: our schedule ranking so far has been... well, less than we would hope. We are currently sitting at 27th. Remember, this ranking is not based on prejudiced opinions of a biased media, or last year's record, or anything else equally suspect. This is certainly cause for mitigated joy in Broncoland. To compound the difficulty, our upcoming schedule does indeed look tough -- "brutal" might be a slight overstatement -- our schedule is ranked 9th in the NFL in this category.
More from the site: Check out the QB rankings. Orton is sitting comfortably at #7, above Phyllis, Romo, Favre, Warner, and Schaub. Where's HWMNBN? #25.
Go Broncos! Beat the BlueBelles!
But that's just my opinion...

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
When Chris Benz puts on a show, he really puts on a show. For his runway debut, Benz decided to can the catwalk and put his clothes onstage at the 37 Arts theater, where attendees including Byrdie Bell, Susan Sarandon, and Taylor Momsen trooped to see the designer's punchy-paletted, all-American Spring '09 collection. Benz's experiment worked—but a few people were wondering about the onstage backdrop. Had Benz adapted himself to some set design already installed at the theater, or had he commissioned the jumble-shack backdrop for the show? And if so—what did the set mean? "Oh, it doesn't mean anything," Benz explained. "A friend of mine made it, and I barely gave him any direction at all. I think what I said was, I've got this huge space, and I want something painted, and I want it to look like a pile." Inspired nonsense: Perhaps Benz has a future in the footlights, after all.

It's almost laughable how far the Providence Bruins finished ahead of the pack when all was said and done at the end of the 2012-2013 AHL regular season.
105 points - the only team to hit 100 points. Last year, the only team to hit 100 points won the Calder Cup Championship.
They finished with a record of 50-21-0-5. 50 wins - by far the best in the league. Closest to that is Springfield's 45. It helps that Providence finished the season on a 9-game winning streak.
They were great at home and on the road. At The Dunk (which I perpetually am mistyping as The Drunk), they were 26-9-0-3. The only team with a better home record in the league was the Toronto Marlies with a slightly better 26-8-1-3.
Providence was dominant on the road, too, with a 24-12-0-2 record. Only the Syracuse Crunch (24-10-2-2) and Texas Stars (25-9-3-1) were better.
The P-Bruins finished with the 8th ranked power play in the AHL and 5th best penalty kill. Special teams were a huge improvement and reason for success.
Obviously this was all made possible by perfect goalie and probably part-time model Niklas Svedberg, who literally won ALL THE AWARDS in ceremonies before the game yesterday. He was recognized for his league accomplishments (First All-Star Team, All-Rookie Team, Player of the Month of March, the holy goalie grail Baz Bastien Award) as well as given 2 team awards (best rookie and MVP). He then posed for this adorable picture.
Svedberg is a huge part of the reason a run to the playoffs was possible - coming seemingly out of the blue to give them a chance to win every night and eventually tying John Grahame's club record for most wins in a season with 37 before taking the last 2 games of the season off. Let's not, however, forget the fantastic seasons the rest of the team had.
The embarrassment of riches that is the current P-Bruins rookies had perfect years, and they were surrounded by a supporting staff of veteran teammates having great years as well.
Ryan Spooner and Torey Krug will likely spend the next season in Boston along with Svedberg, so take a moment to admire the great things they did this season.
Spooner closed the regular season yesterday with his first professional hat trick. He scored the third goal of the hat trick to break a 3-3 tie with 21 seconds left in the game. He can turn it on basically at will and win games whenever he decides he wants to flip that switch.
He finished the season as the top scoring rookie in the league and top scorer for the P-Bruins. He had 17 goals and 40 assists, including 8 power play goals and 14 power play assists, and was a team second-best +14 (Tommy Cross finishing with the best +/- on the team is kind of a freak accident).
Spooner played in 59 of 76 games, and keep in mind, it took him - like the rest of the team - a little while to hit his stride this season. And when he did hit his peak, he was called up to Boston for a few games, then missed a few more games with a phantom injury that I believe is called in the medical world "I want to sit in the press box with my best friend Jared Knight."
Torey Krug shattered the Providence record for scoring by a rookie defenseman this season (okay, he beat it by 8 points). He had 13 goals and 32 assists, including 5 power play goals and 15 power play assists. He was awarded the Providence club award for best defenseman. I am awarding him the Stanley Cup of Chowder club award for being awesome, with fists of fury. He will fight you if you piss him off, even if he is on the small side and you just wanna pinch his cheeks.
I love that about him, and it is representative of the team as a whole this year - they were, in comparison, much smaller than we expect our Bruins teams to be. Seriously, I cannot stress enough how short they are on average. But they played with grit, and wouldn't get pushed around. They had guys like Bobby Robins (who I will get to in a second) to fill those roles of standing up for his teammates, but it never fell solely on his shoulders to police the ice.
Everyone had each other's backs and they played tough - they played Bruins hockey. And they showed the fan base how good they were at doing it by beating the Big Bruins at their own game way back when in the Black and Gold scrimmage - a true highlight of the season for the P-Bruins. They were proud of that hard-earned victory, and they say "you're welcome" for lighting a fire under Boston's ass prior to the season opener.
Even at the AHL level, Bruins hockey is thrilling. And full of talent. Chris Bourque's recent return to the lineup is a reminder of what an amazing accomplishment the team's success without him has been. With him back in the lineup, the team is infinitely better, as seen in simple stats like, oh, I don't know, 4 assists yesterday (every Providence goal).
It's a shame it didn't work out in Boston, but I feel pretty great about having him for a Calder Cup run. He won the playoff MVP award with Hershey 3 years ago (HERSHEY! OH HERSHEY I CANNOT WAIT! First round preview of THE URSINE BATTLE OF DESTINY™ [credit to Sarah for that] coming Wednesday) and even if he will never be an NHL star, he is flat out one of the best players in the AHL. I have no qualms about watching him dish to Spooner (pun intended) all playoff season long.
Providence's top goal scorers ended up being Jamie Tardif (30 goals) and Craig Cunningham (25 goals; Cunningham also was given the 3 Stars award in yesterday's pre-game ceremony). Along with Spooner and Krug, the P-Bruins had nine 10+ goal scorers: Bourque (10), Carter Camper (10), Christian Hanson (12), Graham Mink (10), Jordan Caron (NEIIGHH..i mean 11), Kyle MacKinnon (13), and Justin Florek (11). Four players recorded hat tricks this year, beginning with Jordan Caron all the way back in October, then Jamie Tardif, Craig Cunningham, and capped off with Spooner's beauty yesterday.
If you don't like fancy fun scoring, I know you like straight up badassery.
So look to that wonderful man throwing his fists of fury, punching his way right into our hearts. Bobby Robins was awarded both the Community Service award and Fan Appreciation award. Not much else needs to be said about him. The fans love him, and he loves the fans. He loves getting everyone fired up. He loves getting fired up. He loves his teammates. He loves his cat. He loves Bruins hockey - he is Bruins hockey.
Evenly distributed scoring. Clutch goaltending. Grit. Depth. Hallmarks of Bruins success in the past are all ripe right here in Providence, the site of the Bruins future. And the playoffs start for the first time in four years next Friday, so get excited. Now!

Google's Larry Page talks of killing the 40-hour work week
In an interview, he takes on unemployment and the anger between tech-haves and have-nots
Computerworld - Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page said we may someday see more part-time work weeks than we do today.
Page and Google co-founder Sergey Brin held a sit-down fireside chat with Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, late last week at a Khosla Ventures summit.
The on-stage conversation ranged from comments about an early opportunity to sell the company to a new battle between the tech-haves and have-nots. And after talking about machine learning and machines taking on more jobs once held by humans, the conversation swung around to an issue that seems close to his heart - not everyone needs to work a 40-hour work week.
"I totally believe we should be living in a time of abundance," said Page. "Think about what we need -- housing, security, education for our kids. The amount of resources and work to do that is pretty small. I'm guessing less than 1%. The idea that everyone needs to work frantically to meet people's needs is not true."
Part of why most people want to work a 40-hour week is more about social needs than financial ones, according to Page.
"A lot of people aren't happy if they don't have something to do," he said. "They need to feel needed and wanted...."
In a theoretical part of the interview, Page also said he would tackle unemployment by trying to get companies to hire two part-time workers instead of one full-timer.
"That way, two people have a part-time job instead of one having a full-time job," said Page. "Most people, if I ask them would you like an extra week of vacation, 100% would raise their hands. Two weeks or a four-day work-week? They'd raise their hands. Most people like working but they also want more time with their families or their interests. We should have a coordinated way to adjust the work week."
He did not say he would be taking that tack at Google.
Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, said of course it would be nice to work less and for companies to employ more people. But that doesn't solve all the problems.
"I can see value in two people getting work experience and competitiveness, but it doesn't solve the problem of not being fully employed," he added. "It's not like rent is half as expensive if you are half-employed."
The comment could also fuel the growing anger in the Bay Area between the tech-haves and the have-nots.
"It is a good example of reinforcing a belief that they haven't worried about paying rent or filling the refrigerator for a long time," said Moorhead. "This is out of touch with your average Google user and comes off as a bit idealistic."
Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group, said Page sounds like he's living in, or at least envisioning, a utopian world.
"Page's strategy sounds a lot like the world of Star Trek: The Next Generation, where they constantly allude to a society where automation has taken away the need for humans to work for the necessities of life," said Olds. "Like the show, Page also skips over the inconvenient details like how well part-timers will be able to live on half salaries, particularly in a place as expensive as Silicon Valley."
The idea, though, might fly with Americans who've been struggling to find work.
"This probably isn't going to go down well with their full-time employees, but it might win them some fans with the unemployed," added Olds. "There's another angle to this as well, part-time workers typically don't receive full benefits, which could be a very large savings for the corporation."
If that wasn't controversial enough, Page took on the resentment that non-techies, specifically in the San Francisco area, have toward those working at major tech companies like Google and Facebook.
Page did not blame himself or lay it at the feet of his company, as many in the San Francisco area do.
"This kind of thing is a really a governance problem, because we're building lots of jobs, lots of office buildings and no housing," Page said. "You also have a lot of people who are rent controlled, so they don't participate in the economic increase in housing prices. It actually hurts them. It doesn't help them. I think those problems are more structural and very serious problems."
Page and Brin also took some questions on a time back in 1997 when they, along with their early partners, considered selling their page-ranking technology.
Ultimately, they weren't offered enough money for the deal. But Page said it went beyond the money.
"The reason I think we really didn't sell the company was because we talked to all these search companies and they weren't that interested in it," said Page. "We thought, Why would we go work in a place that doesn't believe in search.
"Ultimately, for me it was about...wanting to do something in that area and it didn't seem like it was going to happen in those organizations."

In case you missed it the first time around - Warriors Shogun Rua and Jon Jones prepare for their title fight in Newark, plus veterans Urijah Faber & Eddie Wineland and headhunters Mirko Cro Cop & Brendan Schaub discuss their upcoming bouts.
-- Click here to watch the video at UFC.com
Jon Jones quotes:
"My goals are to be the best champion that ever lived. I want to be like an Anderson Silva with amazing wrestling. I want to be a GSP with amazing striking. I want to have it all."
"It's funny I've been doing some autograph signings, I've been signing lately "Jon Jones Champion 2011", almost as if I've spoken into existence. I just think it's crazy."
"I honestly believe in my heart that I can strike with Shogun. Mike Winkeljohn is a great striking coach. I'm confident in his strategies and the tactics that we need to use to defeat Shogun. I feel good about it. I definitely think I have knockout power. He doesn't think I have knockout power, well I hope he stands in the pocket for a while and we'll see."
"(Shogun) gets taken down by a lot of guys who never wrestled so I'll definitely be looking to exploit that. I think we can strike with him. I think we can roll with him, we can wrestle with him. I'm confident everywhere."
"I'm going to be too strong, too hungry, too dynamic, too explosive; it's about the rise of Jon Jones."
Shogun Rua quotes:
"Keeping the belt is the top priority. This is the most important fight of my life. I'm planning to keep the belt for a long long time."
After hearing about Jon Jones as a replacement, Shogun Rua told his manager Eduardo Alonso - "Eduardo I fight anyone, I can kick Jon Jones' ass. I can win this fight. Let's do this."
"(Jones) has kind of a similar story (to mine). He's a young guy, beating everybody, rising to the top. But I will do everything in my power to not let him get a belt at 23 years old like me. I've fought tall guys with long reach before. I've fought The Snake, Cyrille Diabate, I've fought Alistair Overeem twice and I won all of those fights."
"(Jones) would be making a mistake if he stood with me. He can tap you and irritate you. But he doesn't have big knockout power. Jones has long skinny legs, he should expect to have them slammed by leg kicks. I think he may very well want to take it to the ground. This will be a good opportunity to show the UFC fans my jiu-jitsu skills."

Reporter: Heather Rosenbaum | Videographer: RJ Burnette
Danville, VA - It was a crazy scene in Danville Tuesday morning after a car crashes into a house sending three people to the hospital.
Zachary Norton, 26, has been charged in connection with driving under the influence of drugs.
Officials say they got to the 700 block of Hughes Street just before 9 a.m. They say none of the injuries were life threatening, but it certainly was a scary scene for all of the people involved.
It started out as an ordinary Tuesday morning for Joseph Hudson, the home owner.
"I was walking down the basement steps," he said.
Until a 1996 Isuzu tore through his basement wall crashing just feet away from where he was standing.
"I didn't look! I went out the doors, I got out the house. I didn't look to see what the car was, what it was, I just got out the house," said Hudson.
HUdson says the sound of the impact shocked him. It shook up neighbors as well.
"It was a loud, tire sliding and just a loud boom noise," said Stanley Spencer, a neighbor.
Police say the driver Norton ran a stop sign at Wooding Avenue and Hughes Street. They say he then hit a car occupied by a 77-year-old woman and an 81-year-old woman.
Neighbors say running stop signs commonly occurs at that intersection.
"My house has been hit before too. I really feel like the city should put stop signs in a 4 way intersection stop for all traffic," said Spencer.
"It's a dangerous intersection. People come down that hill coming 60, 65 miles per hour. People come here 40," said Hudson.
The two elderly women were taken to Danville Regional Medical Center along with the 46-year-old passenger of the Isuzu.
Hudson says he has insurance for the damage, he just never thought that he would make this claim.

January 20, 2008
Boston -- A shocking find in Thomas County has the Thomasville Humane Society and Animal Control outraged. More than 30 dogs were seized from 3888 old Quitman Road in Boston, Georgia.
The address is listed as Sixth Day Animal Rescue Incorporated, a non-profit organization.
When Animal Control officers responded to a concerned citizen's call, they didn't expect to find this.
"They were forced in wet, mud, urine and feces. You wouldn't put your worst enemy in the conditions that we found there," said Thomas County and Thomasville Humane Society Executive Director, Carol Jones.
"If I had to estimate that the pins had ever been cleaned in their lifetime I don't think that they ever had," said the veterinarian on call, Beckey Malphus.
This was especially shocking coming from an animal rescue site. Forrest Massey is the president and co-founder of that Sixth Day Animal Rescue Inc.
"She had a license as a rescuer in Georgia. The criteria that she had to go by was the same as a shelter," said Jones.
"This being a rescue person is suppose to be rescuing animals out of that situation; these were rescued into a worse situation than probably they came out of," said Malphus.
Sixth day Animal Rescue is suppose to be a 100 percent kill-free shelter, but conditions there were so bad that one of the dogs was found dead.
Now the rest of the surviving dogs will receive medical treatment. 'We brought in 32 dogs total, and we expect another 20 to be surrendered to us," said Jones.
"Some of them do have some skin issues and skin conditions, that's probably from the extremely poor environment. There are some that are in thin condition," said Malphus.
But most importantly they will need homes. "There is a few Jack Russells, Chihuahua mixes, Terrier breeds. Most all of them seem pretty friendly and are desperate for a home," said Malphus.
After several attempts, Forrest Massey couldn't be reached for comment.Authorities say she is cooperating and charges have not been filed against her. The state is also investigating.
The Thomasville, Thomas County Humane Society is now filled to capacity. Anyone interested in adopting one of these dogs can begin to contact them on Tuesday. That number is 229- 228-0613.

1884-CC branch mint proof Morgan dollar headlines Heritage Auctions Houston Rare U.S. Coins event, Dec. 3
Classics of American coinage ready for Heritage's final Signature® numismatic auction of the year, Dec. 3
Though the Carson City Mint had neither the personnel nor the resources to strike proof coins on a par with those produced at the main Philadelphia Mint, it did turn out a small number of special pieces, or branch mint proofs.
"In the second half of the 19th century Philadelphia struck virtually all proof coins," said Greg Rohan, President of Heritage Auctions. "Only a handful of proofs were struck at branch mints such as Carson City - some with official authorization and some without. While this branch mint proof dollar does not appear in any official records, it is clearly unlike any Morgan dollar struck for circulation."
Saint-Gaudens double eagles can be found near the top of the list for almost any U.S. Coin auction, and the Heritage Auctions Houston event is no exception. Of the double eagles to be offered in Houston is a 1925-D double eagle graded MS65 by PCGS, a gorgeous specimen that shows why artistry is as greatly desired as rarity. It is estimated at $70,000+.
"Like other D-mint and S-mint issues of the time, the 1925-D was almost completely wiped out in the 1930s," said Rohan. "Any 1925-D double eagle is a desirable coin, and a Gem survivor such as this is of particular importance."
A pair of prominent highlights of the Houston auction is supplied by the Steven Forcier Collection of U.S. Classic Commemoratives in the form of the two varieties of 1915-S Panama-Pacific $50 gold pieces. Both the round (estimate: $80,000+) and the octagonal (estimate: $70,000+) versions are graded MS64, the former by NGC and the latter by PCGS. Each variety has a net mintage of under 1,000 pieces, and are sure to catch the eye of many a potential collector as the $50 round is the key to the entire classic commemorative series.
Early coinage enthusiasts will find plenty to celebrate as well. A 1795 eagle with very rare 9 Leaves reverse, graded XF Details by NGC, should attract attention from both die-variety specialists and type collectors, with its grade making it accessible to a number of numismatists who might otherwise find 9 Leaves pieces out of reach. It is estimated at $45,000+.
Additional highlights include, but are not limited to:
1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel MS66 NGC: One of the most beautiful examples of this famous Buffalo nickel variety. It is estimated at $30,000+.
1874 Arrows Dime MS69 NGC: Almost unfathomable quality for a 19th century issue, called "The Ultimate Type Coin." It is estimated at $45,000+.
1880-O Morgan Dollar MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS: Pedigreed to the famous Jack Lee Collection, a stunning and utterly unmatched coin from an issue rarely found with Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces. It is estimated at $50,000+.
1867 Half Eagle PR66 Cameo PCGS: One of just 50 proofs struck, and among the best-preserved specimens known today. It is estimated at $60,000+.
1879-O Double Eagle AU58 PCGS: A high-end survivor from the only double eagle issue produced at New Orleans after the Civil War. It is estimated at $60,000+.
Heritage Auctions, headed by Steve Ivy, Jim Halperin and Greg Rohan, is the world's third largest auction house, with annual sales more than $700 million, and 475,000+ registered online bidder members.

Talk has turned now to the idea that the Chiefs may draft a QB high this month. The guy the discussion has centered around is Ryan Tannehill. We've also done some inspecting on other options as well, like Brock Oswiller. It pleases me that we are at least looking at QBs. I am deeply uncomfortable with what the Chiefs have at QB right now. If you can't comfortably say your QB is at least very good, you're not in the conversation for the Lombardi trophy. Try to name a QB who has won the Superbowl in recent memory who was anything less than very good. You can't do it. A couple of average guys have sneaked into the Superbowl on great defenses, but they were manhandled in the big game. The debate about Matt Cassel is weather he's average or not. Right there is your indicator that if you're serious about championships, it's time to consider moving on. The Chiefs look to be tinkering with the idea of bringing an heir apparent on board. What scares me is that I think we're barking up the wrong tree. I don't advocate drafting a QB, especially with a first round pick, just for the sake of doing it. Only so many good QBs come along each decade, let alone a single draft. That means we need to ask if there is anyone after Luck and Griffin in this year's class worth picking up. If the answer is yes, it's not because of Ryan Tannehill.
Tann man scares me. I think drafting him would be a titanic mistake. When I watched Big 12 football I was never particularly impressed by him. His numbers aren't all that impressive either. Consider the following chart:
These are the numbers for Weeden, Stanzi, and Tannehill in their final year of play. You'll see that Tannehill is the worst of the three in every category save for TDs, where he's still second to Weeden. I didn't include yardage on here because it would have distorted the graph, but here are their numbers: Weeden - 4,727; Tannehill - 3,744; Stanzi - 3,004. Tannehill outdoes Stanzi, but is again behind Weeden. Weeden beats him by almost ONE THOUSAND yards. Pass yards alone don't mean a whole lot, but consider that Weeden threw for considerably more yardage while maintaining a higher completion % and lower INT total. Tannehill is really more comparable statistically to Stanzi, who still bests him on 4 of 6 measures. Keep in mind this is a very apples-to-apples comparison here insofar as Weeden and Tannehill go. They played in the Big 12 at the same time. Despite this Tannehill will probably be taken in the 1st, and Weeden in the 2nd, while Stanzi went in the 5th. Hmmm....
Weeden is statistically a better QB than Tannehill. Even if we were to use Weeden's numbers as a Jr. he still wins every category. His numbers are almost identical actually, save for a lower 67 completion percentage. That's still well superior to Tann man's 61%. Completion % is an important number to me because it bakes in decision making and accuracy. When you Break down Tannehills numbers, he's all over the place. He ran up the score vs weak teams (80.8% vs Southern Methodist) and had some bad performances vs better teams (40.8% vs Texas). That's a 40 point spread! He had 5 games where his completion percentage was below 60%. For comparison Weeden only had 1 game where his completion percentage dipped below 60. Across his Jr. and Sr. year Weeden only had 3 games where his completion % was under 60.
If you're a good QB, you should be doing more than putting up pretty numbers; you should be defeating opponents. As a Sr. Weeden won all but one game, and that almost feels wrong to cite since it went into double overtime. He only lost two as a senior, for a grand total of 3. As for the Tann man, he only won 53% of his games. In the same pool of competition Weeden was dominant, while Tannehill was a little above average. Weeden defeated Tannehill straight up as well. Not only that, he defeated RG3 and Andrew Luck. Hell we might be talking about Weeden as a BCS champ if it weren't for some questionable ratings there at the end.
It may have occurred to you by now that I'm a fan of drafting Brandon Weeden. If he is there in the 2nd I think we have to take him. The guy's a baller and a winner. Now, some of you may be thinking "but he's 28!" I understand having reservations about a player that age, but remember what position we're talking about here. If he were a CB I wouldn't even consider him. He's a QB though, and they regularly play into their late 30s and some into their early 40s. We could get a decade out of Weeden and even if it's less, he has enough talent to develop into a very good QB. When I'm looking at these two QBs I see one as significantly more talented than the other. Talent is what is going to get you somewhere, not being younger at a position where the benefits of youth are far less pronounced. So I say why are we flirting with a younger, inferior QB that would cost us a 1st, when a more mature, and more talented one will be (probably) be there in the second? His age has its benefits as well. This won't be his first time in the big leagues.
So what is it AP?

Duncan, Ok_In the aftermath of the Chris Lane killing, a lot of attention was given to a statement that one of the accused teenagers reportedly gave to police about being simply being bored.
That led to speculation about the suspects' home life and what makes boredom a cause of violent behavior. Or could it be something more than lack of activity or interest that sparked this murder?
Youth experts in Stephens County said mental illness can be an underlying cause of violent acts that are oftentimes hidden under the disguise of boredom. But many cases could have been prevented with some basic routines at home.
"I've seen a lot of different things and so forth, but nothing of this magnitude. You don't ever expect this to happen," said John Herdt, Executive Director for the Youth Services for Stephens County, a facility that also serves Jefferson and Cotton counties as well.
He believes that boredom isn't an excuse. "We've had boredom with teens for years, but they've decided to do other things...Usually they'll find other avenues, they'll go swimming, they'll get involved with sports or some kind of activities," Herdt said.
Mental illness is always on his mind as a potential cause, but more often than not, parental involvement is key to making sure kids are staying out of trouble.
"I think that's really important...that the parents to be involved somehow, even if you're a single parent or whatever. Even when there's two parents in the home, they may be working, they may be doing shift work, so it leaves their children a lot of times by themselves quite a bit," Herdt said.
Herdt also said parents being mindful of their children's daily routines and the relationships they have is crucial to keeping them out of trouble. However, there are some warning signs.
"If they become really withdrawn and aloof and everything and just kind of go off on their own and you don't know what they're doing...make sure you're getting them involved or getting them the help they need. Keep up with them, find out who their friends are and what activities they're involved in. If they're not involved in any activities, get them involved in some kind of activity," Herdt said.
Herdt said parents also need to be responsible for what t.v. shows and video games their children have access to because some can have violent tendencies even if they're rated for general audiences. So all in all, you just can't go wrong with mindful and informed parenting.
The Youth Services Office is making an effort to be more involved in the community. A committee has formed in Duncan to address mental health and mental illness awareness.

Andre Lewis, a JC prospect out of Diablo Valley CC, has commtitted to the Utes. There are conflicting reports about his measurables. Rivals lists him as 6'4" 220 lbs with a 4.55 40 and Scout lists him as 6'0" 180 lbs. He is not ranked on either recruiting service. Since I like Rivals information better, I am going with it as a source.
He had offers from ASU, Texas Tech, Arkansas (only listed on Scout), Fresno State, and Nevada.
That brings us to 13 commits.

Biloxi Confidential
Pre-Trial Posturing
Gillich was not about to go down easy. Not only did he continue to strut and swagger and go about his business as though nothing were happening, his demeanor now took on a surly and defiant tone. To the crush of reporters who swarmed around him looking for comments, he made obscene hand gestures and belched loudly into microphones pushed into his face. Those were the only public comments he would offer on the case. Nicknamed "The Dixie Don," he seemed determined to live up to his tough reputation. He also, befitting a man with money, hired the best lawyers. One of them was Albert Necaise, a former district attorney who, two decades earlier, had received reports on Gillich's illegal activities but never acted on them.
On the other extreme, Nix, ever the publicity hound, seemed to revel in the attention being paid to him after his long absence from the public spotlight. He gave long, detailed interviews to reporters and impressed them with his "refined manners, wicked wit, and brilliant mind," according to comments quoted by Humes in his book. He also took the opportunity to go public with appeals for his freedom that had been kept under wraps for nearly twenty years. He even paid for a polygraph test, the results of which, he claimed, would exonerate him of the charges in the Sherry case. The veracity of the testing procedure, however, was questioned by authorities and they ignored his efforts to have the test results considered in his favor. And, all the while, he continued to publicly deny any involvement in the deaths of the Sherrys, even though the indictment never specifically named a triggerman.
And so it went, for more than four months. The case stayed in the headlines throughout the summer, with speculation on the outcome running rampant. Lists of witnesses for both sides were filed with the court and lawyers for both sides prepared the arguments they would make in court. When the trial finally convened, the prosecution and the defense were fully ready.
