Hello, everyone. For the past two or three seasons or however long, I've taken up a significant share of duties in order to keep the BECW going smoothly, and to make it as entertaining as possible for you all. However, my personal life has gotten in the way finally as I'll be moving soon, and will be without Internet aside from my phone for an extended period of time. Wonderfulspam has his own things like college keeping him busy as well as planning for the future progression of the BECW, and Horselover Fat already has live spreadsheet duties for every event, so it's not feasible for them to just pick up the slack that I leave behind. One or more of you will have to step up and help do the dirty work in order to keep the BECW alive, as I was entrusted with way too much responsibility and without anyone able to do all of the live posts and recaps it would be a pretty fucking boring contest.
The stuff I do isn't nearly as complicated as it looks, I assure you. And you don't necessarily need to put as much effort into them as I did anyways, although I'm sure the participants would appreciate it. All you really need is very basic knowledge of editing/managing spreadsheets (You'd never have to actually create a spreadsheet), and the ability to read and follow directions as the whole process can be outlined step-by-step for you. Plus you'd need to typically be available the day of events in order to prepare the live posts or be able to get the recap post up by mondays, or preferably much sooner since i suck and made people wait all the time. You'd be in contact with spam and horsey via email, and me if they keep me around, so you'll have help through the whole.process if you need it. Trust me, i email spam after every event complaining about something.
I do intend to help out again once i get some interwebz at my new residence, but it will be a while, and especially at this point in a season where we have to start preparing for the next, we're definitely going to need some assistance. It would be an absolute shame to have to cancel next season, mainly because i'd be blamed for it. Even if you're not sure whether or not you feel up to the task, feel free to ask any questions below if you're interested. Sorry for typos and stuff, doing this from my.phone at the moment. This shit is super important, so please don't dick around if you're one of the people capable of helping. Thanks in advance BElitists.

|Nancy Eagleson Part 1
Remembering Nancy:
After 40 years, the family of a slain teen still struggles to cope
By Paulding County Progress Staff
Part 1 of a series
Originally published Aug. 2, 2000
It was Sunday, Nov. 13, 1960. It was a typical fall day, and Paulding County seemed at peace. The church bells rang the same as usual, folks were looking forward to Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays. However, before the day would end, there would be a crime committed so horrendous that it would shake Paulding County to its roots.
The crime? Abduction, rape and murder.
The victim? Fourteen-year-old Nancy Lee Eagleson, daughter of Donald and Bettie Eagleson.
Forty years have gone by. Time may erase our recollections of that tragic day, but the survivors, the Eagleson family, have had to go on with only memories of their daughter. They live every day wondering … who, and why?
Since the murder was committed, the family's lives have profoundly changed. Donald Eagleson is now deceased. Bettie Eagleson, Nancy's mother, is not well and spends a lot of her time resting in a chair, still being haunted by the gruesome crime which took away part of her life.
Nancy's sister Sheryl, who was with Nancy when she was abducted, has lived with fears still etched in her memory. She has taken precautions with her own children, constantly being reminded of that fateful night that she witnessed at just 5 years of age.
Bettie Eagleson has said, "Following the murder there was little else talked of in this small community of 2,300. I received over 400 sympathy cards from all over the world. The rest of the school term I walked Sheryl to school. I tried all the time to protect her if at all possible. She seemed to forget everything except Nancy.
"One day in particular," Bettie recalls, "the wind was blowing extra hard, and she (Sheryl) looked up to the sky and said, 'Nancy and God, make the wind stop blowing in our faces,' as it was very hard walking into the wind." And, Bettie continues, "The wind stopped, just as if I closed a door."
Bettie relates, "I have always had a very strong faith in God the Almighty. I may not have always followed the road He intended me to go, but I tried. I feel that if your faith is strong enough, it will carry you through anything, come what may.
"Tears, yes, I have shed a lot of them. I find tears when I do or see something that I know she would have loved to see or hear. Then I realized that she does see and hear everything we do or say. She is sort of like God to me telling me which way to go, so that some day in the future, we will all be together once more.
"I knew that if I did not turn sour on the world, and most of all turn away from God, then I would be rewarded some day for being brave. The way I believe I was rewarded was that just 11 months after the last rites of our dear daughter, straight from heaven came a beautiful 6 lb. 10 oz. angel. We gave her the name of Merrill Lon, after a dear friend of Nancy's. I knew I would never get Nancy back, but God gave me another daughter to raise."
Merrill herself, even though she never knew her older sister, still has doubts and disbelief. She says, "How have we coped? We haven't."
She has been very involved in researching facts about the abduction, rape and murder of her sister.
Donald Eagleson never fully recovered from the shock of the death of his daughter. He became emotionally distraught and was placed under a suicide watch for a period of time. He and Bettie divorced 10 years later, and he went to his grave not knowing who murdered his beloved child.
Sheryl, who hasn't consented to be interviewed, is still haunted by the memory of the night her sister was abducted just four houses from their home.
Who was the killer? What was the motive? Is the murderer still alive? Was the killer local or someone passing through?
Next: In Part 2 of this series, we will re-live the last day of Nancy Eagleson's life, and recount the events leading up to her death.

MASON CITY, Iowa (KTTC) -- A DNA sample has led to an arrest in a 19-year-old murder case in Mason City.
Michael Cisneros, 37, has been charged with first-degree murder in the July 1994 death of 20-month-old John Joseph Snyder Jr.
Mason City police announced the arrest during a news conference Monday afternoon.
John Joseph Snyder Sr. reported his 20-month-old son missing from their apartment on July 20, 1994. The boy's body was found the next day in Willow Creek just east of the Pennsylvania Ave. bridge in Mason City. An autopsy showed that the cause of death was drowning and a crushing skull injury.
DNA analysis was not done in 1994 because the technology wasn't available. In December 2002, Mason City police obtained a DNA analysis. In December 2012, Michael Cisneros was transported to the Oakdale Medical and Classification Center in Coralville. He was required to submit a DNA sample, which was entered into a state database.
In January 2013, a search of the DNA database revealed a match between the DNA sample submitted by Michael Cisneros and the profile taken from the boy's pajama bottoms.
Cisneros is being held at the Cerro Gordo County Jail.
Mason City police would not say what the relationship was between John Snyder Sr. and Cisneros.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:I was at my desk when I recieved a call that a plane hit the World Trade Center. The first thought was that a News helicopter or a small plane was the culprit. Then I remember hearing that another plane hit the World Trade Center. For some reason I didn't believe that the information I was getting was accurate. I thought that the information had already started to go through the you tell the story and someone else tells the story until a completely different story begins to emerge. Then it happened my email began to fill up with stories so I called home. My wife confirmed the story and also told me about what she was watching on TV. I couldn't believe the account. It was long after that it got even worse (if that was possible) the plane into the Pentagon and Flight 93 in Pa. It seemed all surreal. At about 11 or 11:30 we were released from work and home I went. I live in New Jersey and I am within 30 miles of NYC. From a high point in my town you can see the lights of the city at night. This day you didn't need the night to see the city. Large plumes of smoke filled the horizon. It was a terrible site. Hard to imagine what was going on. I like millions of others spent the balance of the day into the early morning hours of the next day watching TV yearning for information. The News was bad, all bad. I cried. To this day I still shed a tear.
Life Changed:Life will never be the same in America. The freedoms that we have enjoyed and fought so gallently for throughout our history have been taken from us in one terrible act of terrorism. Things that were taken for granted like, going to work each day, now begin with a search of belongings before you can enter the building. Taking a vacation via airplane has become a nightmare. You must spend several hours additional at airports so that you can submit to personal searches of your belongings and yourself. You need to several forms of ID wherever you go. It is like the old war movies line, "where are your papers"! This is not what America is about, but it is now. These freedoms to travel and go places can no longer be taken for granted. Fear of more attacks are always in the back of my mind. In this way, beyond the destruction, the terrorists have certainly made an impact on the American way of life.
Should be remembered:Things to be remembered need to include the bravery of the men and women of NYC's Fire and Police Departments. Their unselfish giving was and still is remarkable. The thousands of volunteers from around the area and from around the country that came to NY & Washington's aid. And almost above all the renewed sense of Partriotism in America and what we stand for. This country has come together like no other time I can remember. I am proud to say that I am an American.
Flag:I ashamed and at the same time happy to say that the flag did fly on my home after the events of September 11th. It is unfortunate that it took such an event to remind us of our liberty and what the flag stands for in our everyday life. The flag continues to fly proudly at my home and at the homes of most all my neighbors.

"The (PUSD) Board Failed!"
Original post made by Nomad on Feb 28, 2012
This clarity of thought and purity of expression can stand on its own to describe the inability of this board over the last few years to control its destiny. And the failure to approve a simple motion to prioritize reading over a consultant's study shows the lack of moral imperative in this board.
Kudos to Trustees Arkin and Hintzke who are taking a stand for what is right. And for the rest the board and cabinet? Shame on you.
on Feb 28, 2012 at 10:09 pm
+1 totally agree.

This is a dismal failure of Laursen's so called 'leadership.'
After all, out-of-town consultants are more inportant than children in this community according to Laursen, Grant and Bowser.
on Feb 29, 2012 at 8:18 am
It was the teachers union who promoted, endorsed Laursen and Bowser.

One look at the ESPN depth charts show that the Rockets roster requires much addressing. What do the Rockets need? Require? Lust? WANT!
Wanted: ELITE BIG->Shoots the Mid-range at a Good Clip. Can play Center/PF.
Wanted: SG BACKUP-> Spot up shooter. Handles the ball. Defends well. Lots of energy.
Wanted: SF BACKUP->Spot up shooter. Handles the Ball. Defends EXTREMELY well. Rebounds EXTREMELY well.
10 Rebounds Per Game. Takes 4-5 shots per game making OVER 45% of them. (Data collected from the last 3 years)*
That's 4 and 10 every game. Elton Brand is a $2mill veteran player. He's a FA! Jason Smith is a PF forced to play Center because the team has both Anthony Davis AND Ryan Anderson taking up all the PF minutes. And it's not Brook Lopez isn't given loads of playtime either. His contract expires the NEXT YEAR. So if rockets give them Aaron Brooks/TJ, the Pelicans might return Jason Smith and a 2nd round pick. It's a decent 1 year rental of a potentially good PF.
The combination of Jason Smith/Elton Brand might be able to defeat 90% of the PFs in the west. Might. And if it doesn't work, it's at most a 1 year rental. Guess who has an early termination option in 2015? Kevin Love. If the T-wolves have a bad 2013 season, they might be willing to trade Klove in an asset grab. Which brings us to the next acquisition...
There is no SG in the 2013 Free Agency better than Martell Webster. Okay, OJ Mayo but Mayo is insane and has Harden Envy. Webster is above average in EVERY shooting category when compared to small forwards. He is ALOT above average when compared to SGs. Aside from steals, blocks and rebounds he improved in every CATEGORY when asked to play major minutes.
But that's not why the Rockets need him. It's because the T-wolves need him.
Flip Saunders: "We want to get some guys who can make Ricky better," Saunders said. "If you have guys who can stretch the floor and create more openings for him to penetrate and find those guys, he's going to be a better player. I don't know if you can win in the NBA if you don't shoot threes."**
That's Webster. If they want Webster, well, they might give up Kevin Love. In any case, good SGs are in high demand. Grabbing Webster for less than 9 million dollars would be a complete steal. But worth 9 million very easily. If not more. He is 26 years old!
The direction of the league is to go smaller at power forward. So having a very capable versatile small forward is a huge advantage. Luckily, the Rockets have one of the youngest, most productive, and superbly versatile players in Parsons. In order to play Parsons at the 4 to combat the likes of Carmelo or Lebron, another Rocket must replace Parsons' enormous contributions at the 3. He must outrebound, outshoot, out-hustle, out fast break, and out assist his POSITION.
The best SF in this year's free agency is Dorell Wright. No acquisition is more important than grabbing Wright because the man is a starter. He has played SG, SF, and PF. He is adequate in all 3. In the last 3 years, he's attempted at least 7-8 three-pters with a clip of over 37%. His rebounds are slightly below average but like Parsons, he's been tasked with the most important jobs. He is only 27 years old!
In conclusion:
Both Martell and Wright are key multi-positional small forwards with strengths in shooting and versatility, respectively.
The most important part of their acquisition is their ability to play shooting guard, a key trade piece in any Kevin Love negotiation.
Their just isn't enough good spacing Power Forwards in the league. Long range plan is and have always been KEVIN LOVE. His ETO is in 2015. A bad 2013 season for the T-wolves could very well mean a Kevin Love Sweepstakes in 2014.
PS. Earlier Versions of this post had Brandon Bass instead of Jason Smith. I also stole this idea of a Plan B from John P. Also, there's too much noise for Morey to bank on the Howard trade. I feel this is a reasonable approximation of his brain. Grab a shooting guard in this year's draft to trade with the Timberwolves in 2014.
After all, 2015 is when the Band breaks up. A 2014 Kevin Love Arrival would be right on schedule for a 2014 Championship Run.
Go fuckin' Rockets.

Constitutional Law
Trial Looms in Federal Case Over Death of Family Pet Shot by Police in Front of Girl, 12
Posted May 17, 2012 5:22 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In a scenario that is increasingly in the news as the subject of internal investigations and legal claims, two police officers in Connecticut are set to go to trial in federal court in Hartford on Monday for killing a family pet after entering the perimeter of a home.
The guardian of a 12-year-old girl who, a lawsuit says, saw her dog slain by the defendant officers after they came into the yard without a warrant is seeking compensatory and punitive damages on her behalf over the December 2006 incident, as well as attorney fees, the Hartford Courant reports.
The suit alleges that the officers violated the child's constitutional due process rights by engaging in actions "so extreme, callous and outrageous that they fell outside the scope of acceptable police behavior."
Calls by the newspaper to the defendants and their lawyer were not returned.

Numerous tweets from several sources have indicated that Pedro Alvarez has been activated from the disabled list and optioned to Indianapolis.
This would indicate that Pirates management has determined that Pedro is not ready to contribute at the major league level. At least not at the present time.
Neal Huntington was quoted as saying, "Pedro remains a big part of our future, but we believe this move is the best way to get him back on track."
After the euphoria of last night's win, this may have been viewed as the correct time to send Pedro to Indy with a minimum of fan backlash.

Moment of Truth Radio
Comparable to the Trammps and Double Exposure, Moment of Truth was an excellent but little known East Coast quartet that combined Philadelphia soul with Philadelphia disco. The male vocal group (which consisted of Norris Harris, Ivery "Caprice" Bell, Michael Garrison, and Billy Jones) was consistently mindful of disco's soul roots and owed a strong debt to classic Philly soulsters like the Intruders and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Formed in the 1970s, Moment of Truth recorded its self-titled debut album for Salsoul in 1977. Although superb, the album was ignored by radio and wasn't a big seller by any means. However, the single "Helplessly" became a minor club hit. Moment of Truth broke up without ever recording a second album, and its album was out of print for many years. But thankfully Salsoul reissued Moment of Truth on CD in 1993. ~ Alex HendersonPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

So, we all can agree that Blue Mountain State is a god awful television program. It takes serious fortitude and a lot of self loathing to try to make it through an episode.
So maybe we need to do it together. It will be like "Remaining Men Together" but with a much more noble cause: To relentlessly shit on BMS for half an hour then put our faces in an emergency eyewash station for a corneal rape shower.

John Fullbright
"I have no doubt that in a short time, John Fullbright will be a household name in American music." - Jimmy Webb
Oklahoma has proved fertile ground for songwriting over the years. From Albert Brumley and Woody Guthrie through Leon Russell and Jimmy Webb, Oklahoma has produced songwriters that pursued their singular vision and left the music world enriched, and often changed, by their contributions. Although it would be careless to suggest that an artist just releasing their debut album warrants a place in that group, John Fullbright's From The Ground Up has some of the greats (see above) thinking that the 23-year-old might just have a place in that conversation someday soon.
John Fullbright was raised and still resides in Okemah, Oklahoma, a hometown he shares with Woody Guthrie (the photo on the album cover shows him on the front porch of the house that both he and his father grew up in). Music was a staple of the Fullbright household, mostly in the form of the family's diverse and treasured album collection. "The most trouble I ever got in was when I had done something to one of my mother's albums," Fullbright recalls. The early pull of music was intense; he started playing piano at age 5, later picking up the guitar. His relative cultural isolation served him in that he had space to listen to his own developing voice, but when he was ready to make his way in the world, he benefitted greatly by being one hour from a great support system for singer-songwriters. The Blue Door, the legendary venue, took him in and exposed him to some of the greatest songwriters in the country as they would pass through town in concert. The founder of The Blue Door, Greg Johnson, was so taken by Fullbright's talent, that he began managing him in order to open the necessary doors for his career to take root. Fullbright and Johnson released a live album in 2009 that set sales records at Woodyfest, the annual folk festival honoring Woody Guthrie.
Fullbright, like the more famous Okemahite, displays a distrust in power, whether temporal or divine, that is evident as soon as one drops the needle on From The Ground Up. In "Gawd Above," he looks at the world through God's eyes, and it is the Old Testament Yahweh, with His jealousy and manipulation, that is speaking. He jokingly refers to this song as his "Sympathy for the Creator." Fullbright also skewers power run amok in the worldly sense in "The Fat Man," a song that was inspired by a poem from Oklahoma poet Bert Lockwood. Over a Kurt Weill-like musical bed, he paints a picture of wealth and power personified as a puppeteer who pulls the strings necessary to further enrich himself. Fullbright implores his listener to fight the power and hypocrisy with a wrathful vengeance ("Cut the strings from his fingers/Wrap them twice around his throat/Show him not your kind mercy/From the laws that he forgot he wrote"). And in the standout "Satan and St. Paul," he gives voice to an anger that accompanies the dissolution of faith in orthodox religiosity.
Fullbright traverses an emotional and musical terrain that is extremely broad, showing equal acuity with tender ballads and songs that make you want to drive faster with your window rolled down. In "Me Wanting You," he shows a Haggard-like smoldering directness, with lyrics so simple and unambiguous, that the intended target cannot escape from their impact. "Song For A Child," is a moving testament to the lasting bond between parents and their children ("Little boys grow up to be their daddies/That makes mamas love them even more/And even though the world may treat you badly/You'll be daddy's child forevermore/You'll remain a child forevermore"). In "Moving," an unfolding sense of freedom brings the listener to a rocking, ecstatic state, while "Daydreamer" lays out a massive hook that juxtaposes nicely with the underlying nihilism of the lyric.
Fullbright co-produced the album with Wes Sharon (who also played bass on the album), the owner of 115 Studios in Norman, Oklahoma. Fullbright played many of the instruments on the album – all of piano and harmonica, almost all of the organ parts and much of the guitar work. Musicians from the legendary to the infamous lent their talents - Terry "Buffalo" Ware and Andrew Hardin added guitar, while Fats Kaplin played violin and steel guitar. Other musicians on the album are Giovanni Carnuccio III (drums), John Knudson (organ), Jess Klein (background vocals) and Ryan Engleman (guitar).
John Fullbright is a young man who finds love, beauty and pain in the here and now, but skepticism and disdain for those that would look past the world or take advantage of the dreams of those hoping for a better world. That he can articulate his worldview with an almost otherworldly precocity makes his debut studio album From The Ground Up worthy of attention. From the fertile ground of Oklahoma, another songwriting legend may be blooming.

Parker Millsap
Raised in a Pentecostal church in central Oklahoma, Parker Millsap is no stranger to the spiritual power of music. The 19 year?old and his best friend since 8th grade (and upright bassist), Michael Rose perform with a vigor not uncommon in spirit?filled churches across the Midwestern United States. The duo have performed in a variety of different formats but eventually whittled themselves down to a bare bones, song?focused act. Millsap handles songwriting, guitar, and vocal duties while Rose rounds out the sound with his expertly placed bass lines. Here's what Joshua Boydston, of the Oklahoma Gazette had to say about the duo's new album, Palisade: "Like velvet laid over gravel, Millsap's voice plays gruff, jagged and unexpectedly smooth at the same time. He captures the essence of Tom Waits' vocals better than a 19-year-old singer ever should; fans of Closing Time-era Waits will find lots to like here, albeit more countrified. The opening title track saunters with a saucy strut that lets out a wallop over Millsap's equally impressive abilities on the guitar. The more delicate "Seed" drifts like a dandelion across the sunset, and the pair fires full-force on the harrowing "Farmer's Lament" and never lets down over 11 tracks. It's important not to undervalue Rose's contributions. He's not just Robin to Millsap's Batman; his expertly placed bass lines give Palisade the weight it needs in lieu of drums or other backup.Most impressive is that despite every opportunity to sand down that monumental voice into something more accessible and bending the arrangements to a poppier plane (think Mumford & Sons), the duo commits wholeheartedly to a more vintage appeal, thus giving them a character and credibility few other acts enjoy.Palisade is dynamite, and if the right pieces fall into the right places, it's not hard to imagine Millsap's name up there with the likes of modern folk troubadours like Ray LaMontagne and Ryan Adams. He's just that good."

BARWICK, GA (WALB) - The Thomas County Sheriff's Office wants your help to catch two burglars.
Surveillance footage shows two men breaking into the Holiday Market convenience store in Barwick around five o'clock Monday morning.
Police say the men wore black shirts, jeans, and what looks like purple shirts to cover their face. "They took some beer, they took some snacks, they took some cigarettes, and were able to get some cash that was left inside the store. Thank goodness a whole lot of cash wasn't left there. We're still not sure exactly how much," said Captain Steve Jones.
If you recognize either of the men in the video call crime stoppers at 227-3305.

Mid heel loafer
Measurements: Heel height 1¼"
Material: Leather: black; Crackled metallic leather: green, gold, bronze
Brand: Rochas
Origin: Italy
Winter weather is about to be a thing of the past, and if you're ready to be rid of your heavy boots and tights — you're in luck! Gear up for spring with these sunny-weather shoes, from embellished thong sandals and metallic wedges to platform espadrilles and pretty pastel flats.
Whether you're looking for special-occasion platform pumps or a pair of everyday ankle boots, Rochas has exactly what you need — and in a wide variety of styles to suit your every mood. Mod-inspired wedges, classic sling-back sandals, prim ballet flats, boyish lace-up oxfords in neutral tones, sleek high-heeled boots in basic black: Rochas designs them all, using only the highest-quality leathers and enhancing each pair of shoes with contrast stitching and other fine details. Founded in 1925 by fashion designer Marcel Rochas, the label came roaring back to life in the 2000s with exclusive designer Olivier Theyskens at the helm. Hollywood A-listers loved wearing Theyskens' hyper-opulent evening gowns — many of which came with five-figure price tags — to red carpet events. Current artistic director Marco Zanini has picked up where Theyskens left off, designing contemporary clothing for men and women, leather bags, and perfumes inspired by Rochas' decades-long tradition of celebrating and promoting Parisian-style luxury.

For the Leafs there are 3 days in this upcoming summer where, if anything truly productive happens, it will occur:
- The first of those days is of course Day 1 of the draft.
- The second is July 1st, Day 1 of free agency.
- The third is that date in mid-August that arbitration occurs and teams can become either saddled with what may be an inflated one-year deal or release the player with whom they went to arbitration a la Clarke MacArthur circa August 2010.
Now what happens if nothing really happens for Leaf Nation on any of those three days? No big trades, no reeling in of the big free agent fish, and no lucking out with an out of luck arbitration leftover. What are we left with if nothing marquee occurs on any of those dates?
Assume the Maple Leafs re-sign all of their would-be RFAs and assume outgoing UFAs are not brought back in (of course I expect a couple to come back. Tim Brent, anyone?).
Here is what our opening night roster would look like in my mind:
- Lupul - Bozak* - Kessel
- MacArthur - Grabovski - Kulemin
- Armstrong - Hanson** - Frattin***
- Orr - Brent(Okay, assume he'll be back) - Brown
* = I don't think it would be right to miscast Colborne or Kadri into roles they are not yet prepared for in a similar fashion as was done with Bozak. A more known commodity slotted there as a stop-gap would be better and I would suggest Tim Connolly as a plan B in the event of a failure to sign Richards or acquire, through trade, a true solution to the number one problem. It'll be a nice day when we can slot Bozak into the number three spot...
** = Hanson at this point is not going to develop into the top 6 power foward Burke was holding out for, but he can now be groomed to be a bottom 6 force. Due to the higher offensive upside and addition size he would add I chose him for the three-hole instead of Brent.
*** = Now I know Armstrong is naturally more suited to RW but I don't imagine a transition to LW would be all that difficult for him. The way I see it, either Frattin or Kadri make it to the big club and at the moment Frattin is more physically developed for the rigours of board battles and grinding forechecks. Not basing my assessment solely on what I saw in his one NHL game, as I have seen a good deal of his college play and have also seen Kadri's AHL progression so I feel I can accurately compare the two.
Notes on other players within the organization that could crack the lineup in place of the 12 listed:
Nazem Kadri: It would likely be best-served for him to start the year with the Marlies and find his way back with the big club after 20-25 more AHL games. Somewhat of an arbitrary number, I chose 20-25 more games because if you look at the development path Burke took with Bobby Ryan, the path Kadri is currently on is rather similar and that is how Ryan's development was handled. If he were to make it out of camp it would likely be in a 3rd line capacity instead of Frattin.
Luca Caputi: This past year has be as close to an unmitigated disaster as possible for Caputi. 2010-2011 was his contract year and instead he only played 20 games, 13 AHL, 7 NHL. His year started off slow and was interrupted by callups to the Leafs and then was further interrupted by injury which placed him on the sidelines for the majority of the season only to return for a couple games near the end of the season before being again halted by further injury. If he were to make it out of camp it would likely be in a 3rd line capacity instead of Frattin.
Marcel Mueller: I highly doubt he has any chance of making the big club as he only has 57 North American pro games under his belt and he was not particularly effective in a bunch of them. In his 57 games he scored 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points. He was 23 games short of a full 80 game AHL season (now 76 games to a season) as he missed time due to a combination of an upper body injury aka concussion I think, 3 games called up to the Leafs and the occasional scratch which isn't uncommon in an AHL season that has 3 in 3s and 4 in 5s. Notably he ended the season with a hat trick (his second of the season) in the last game. Look for next season to be a make or break season for him similar to the way he found a huge jump in his numbers in the DEL after his first couple seasons.
Jerry D`Amigo: I see him in a similar light as I do Matt Frattin except less developed offensively and physically. I highly doubt even a spectacular training camp and pre-season would find him in the opening day line-up. I expect him to be a big contributor to the Marlies if he does manage to adapt, to the AHL, the offensive game he developed in Kitchener.
Any comments, questions, or writing advice is encouraged.

The trial for a man who held up a woman at knifepoint at a Burlingame ATM has been postponed to June 17 while his sanity is questioned.
Last August 28, a victim was using an ATM at the Wells Fargo Bank in Burlingame when Daniel Thomas Cassidy, 25, approached her, brandished a knife and told her to withdraw $100, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.
He repeated this three times while holding the knife. The victim withdrew the cash while Cassidy grabbed it and ran away.
The victim called 9-1-1 and gave a physical description of Cassidy. A nearby Burlingame Police Officer then saw him walk towards a pickup truck, get in, and drive away.
The officer followed, using his lights and siren to try to make a traffic stop, but the Cassidy took off, driving 60 miles per hour in 35 and 25 mile per hour zones.
Cassidy lost control, speeding around one turn and crashed into a car, injuring the victim.
Cassidy drove on the sidewalk, and continued to flee to Hillsborough where he again lost control going around a turn.
He drove off the road, and into vegetation and ivy where his car became stuck. He exited and tried to run away, while the officer fired two taser shots, neither which worked.
The officer saw that Cassidy had a knife, struggled with him, cuffed him and then saw that he had cut himself in several places, including two puncture and stab wounds to his abdomen.
He was transported to the hospital to be put under a psychiatric watch and eventually released to the County Jail.
Cassidy remains in custody in San Mateo County Jail on $100,000 bail. His trial will take place on June 17 at 8:45 a.m.

The American crocodile is one of 13 different species of crocodiles in the world. Crocodiles are brownish-green, have a long, narrow skull, and pointed snout, and a streamlined body. The tail is used like a paddle and is very powerful. A crocodile can swim as fast as 20 miles an hour. Even when its mouth is closed, all its teeth are visibvle. Their teeth last two years and are all replaceable. Crocodiles can grow to be 20 feet long and can weigh up to 2,000 pounds.
Crocodiles eat mostly fish, but have been known to catch and eat anything that wanders near enough. They swallow their prey whole, usually after drowning it, and they never chew. They have a tongue, but it doesn't help in their digestion. Crocodiles eat rocks which stay inside the stomach and help to grind up their food. Some scientists say that this helps keep the crocodiles from feeling hungry, or serves as extra weight while swimming or diving, to stay stable in the water.
The American crocodile has an interesting way of attracting fish to them. They throw-up a very small bit of food which attracts fish making them much easier to catch.
Crocodiles are cold-blooded and live in warm climates. They excavate burrows along the water's edge. They live in salt water or in brackish water along the coastline or coastal river mouth. They emerge from the water, or their burtrows, to raise their body temperature by lying in the sun.
During the dry season, they may become sluggish, refuse to eat, and bury themselves in the mud. Crocodiles can live a very long time, as long as 100 years, as long as their environment stays stable.
Crocodiles build nests in the winter months by digging a hole using their back legs and lay between 30 and 50 eggs. The eggs take nine or ten weeks to hatch and the mother stays close to the nest. She will rest her head on the nest, listening for the calls of the hatchlings. She will then dig them out using her front feet. Sometimes she has to crack the eggshell. The babies will feed on the yolk sac from their eggs for the first 2-14 days of life.
The babies make sounds like abarking dog and thier teeth are like tiny needles. Higher temperature (89-91) in the nest will produce more males, while lower temperature (below 88( produces females. Any temperature below 82 will kill the babies. They can't survive in vary salty water either. The young feed on fish and small land animals.
Crocodile waste provides important nutrients for the smaller animals in the food chain, but the crocodile is at the top of the food chain itself. There isi a colony of crocodiles living in by the Turkey Point power plant, and there is a wildlife refuge in Key Largo. At the edge of the Everglades, crocodiles live in the brackish waters of the Florida Bay. As theses areas become polluted, or drained by man, the crocodiles become endangered.

Hello all,
I am new to the group and new to Sensory Integration Dysfunction. �Our son, 20 months old, has been tentatively diagnosed with it. �He has mostly tactile issues, but we are still in the process of figuring him out.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had a child that screams and/or squeals. �He squeals so loud, it makes my teeth ring. �It is so annoying and irritating and just plain frustrating. �We have tried everything we can think of to teach him to stop, but nothing ever works. �The temporary fixes are VERY temporary, as in minutes.. if you're lucky.
It would help so much to find other people who have experience with this, and get some advice that just might help our family.
Thank you! �

I am an emeritus professor of mathematics
at the University of Wisconsin (and a maker!). My
research has largely focused on the thermodynamics
and mechanics of heat engines. Stirling engines have
been at the heart of all this work. They are of both
theoretical and practical importance — and are fun
to make! So your recent article in MAKE, Volume 17,
"Teacup Stirling Engine," caught my attention.
Although the basic Stirling principle goes back
nearly 200 years, the appearance of Stirling engines
capable of running on low-temperature heat sources
(like a cup of hot tea) occurred only within the last 26
years. I was privileged to work on the development
of these engines, producing in 1991 a Stirling engine
that runs with a temperature differential of only 1°F.
A year later, I made a model for NASA optimized to
run on the warmth of human hands. NASA used this
model (dubbed the N- 92) to demonstrate Stirling
engine principles as they contemplated the use of
advanced Stirlings for powering space stations and
planetary vehicles from solar or nuclear energy.
An Introduction to Low Temperature Differential
Stirling Engines provides complete plans and tips
for making the NASA N- 92 engine. It also tells and
illustrates the complete story of the development of
these fascinating engines, which began in 1983 with
the late Prof. Ivo Kolin of the University of Zagreb.

Second: the card reader. I have an electronic
workshop where I build electronic gadgets, not fix
TVs. I already have most of the material called for,
however I'll substitute a 74LS541 for the 74541
chip you call for. It's the same circuit and will run
on 5 volts. A 7405 voltage regulator wastes a lot of
current at 9 volts; how about four AAA batteries in
series at 6 volts to the regulator, or a 4-cell rechargeable telephone battery? Don't cost much and it's
available at RadioShack.

In Volume 17, page 137, "Elastic String Bass," the
online schematics at makezine.com/17/diymusic_
elasticbass have been corrected to show 440Ω

Very neat concept. Keep going! First comment:
the print is too small. I'm an old man, but it's too small
for anybody. Looks like the fine print of a legal doc.

Mechanical Image Duplicator," some readers mistook
the second paper clip box for a second fixed anchor.
It's simply a spacer to keep the duplicator level.
With just a single anchor at the far left (as shown in
Figure 3), the duplicator works great.

David, if one checks the details of how the .308 became the favorite competition cartridge over the .30-06 from late 1963 through the next few years, here's what they'll observe. And the difference was microscopic. The first .308 chambered rifles that outscored the .30-06 ones were identical except for their chambers. They even used the same components except for the case.
The first bolt action rifles were Win 70 receivers originally made for .30-06 size cartridges but with a spacer at the back of the magazine and a longer bolt stop so the bolt throw would be about half an inch shorter. Barrels in competition were typical 26" long ones tapering from 1.2" at the breech to .900" at the muzzle. Hart made most of them and they all had the same bore and groove diameters that worked best with Sierra's bullets. Both had 1:11 twists. A few people tried using the Rem. 700 short action but it had too many faults to make any realistic comparison between short and long actions with .308 barrels in them. As it turned out, those round ones didn't hold bedding as good as the flat bottom/sides Win 70's did and, along with magazine feed, trigger and extractor problems, the 700's were not popular.
The semiauto version was the M1 with the difference between the old .30-06 parts list, a 7.62 chambered barrel made by Springfield Armory in MA with a slightly larger gas port and a 1:12 twist. It took the M14 shops an extra year or so to work out the details of making them shoot as accurate as the 7.62 Garands, but they finally did it. Both shot more accurate with aftermarket match barrels; almost as accurate as what bolt guns did.
Both the 7.62 NATO and .30-06 peak pressure specs as measured by arsenal copper units of pressure systems were identical; 50,000 cup. What Winchester used for their .308 Win cartridge was a different cup system and therefore had different numbers emerge from it. Otherwise, both cartridges operated at the same peak pressure.
Someone told me years ago that Remington went to 1:10 twists for their .308 chambered barrels because most customers thought that was the best for heavier bullets. Didn't matter that Winchester used 1:12 with great success even with 200-gr. round nose bullets. That does make it cheaper to use the same mandrel for hammer forging the same 1:10 twist 30 caliber barrels for all sorts of cartridges.

Bart, if you will pay closer attention to my post, I mentioned that a lot of the commercial rifles used a 1:12 twist in their 308 chambering. Nothing mentioned about Hart barrels or specialty target rifles. If you care to look at Big Green's current offerings in 308, you will find that more than half of them still give the 1:12 twist barrel to the 308.
I notice that Savage tends to lean toward the 10 twist, but I really don't know when this began with that firm.
Winchester seems to offer the M70 in 308 with a 1:12 twist only.
Not so sure what special CUP rating the 30-06 used to use, but SAAMI spec shows in PSI that the 06 max average pressure is 60K while the 308 is 62K. I chalk that up to some of the older rifles chambered in 06 as compared to the newer steel alloys available in the 1950s

David, I noticed what you're reminding me of. My post was put up to explain what detailed and valid reasons were behind the .308's better accuracy than .30-06's when it's preference for accurate cartridges originated.
There's lots of info on the 'net stating the arsenal pressure systems used on military small arms ammo set both the .30-06 and 7.62 NATO round at 50,000 cup. That's still the SAAMI spec for the .30-06, but Winchester's different sytem details for CUP measurements for their .308 Win case were established at 52,000 cup as easily seen on pages 15 and 16 in:

Agregory, I have no personal experience with the scope your package comes with, but I do have some with the Howa in 30-06. It seems to be a pretty decent, reliable action. They also have a good reputation for accuracy. Feed it decent ammunition and do your part, and I believe you wont be disappointed!

I have said on here before that I think you guys should draft Suh, although Bradford will probably be a good Quarterback in a couple of years. But looking at next year, there will be another good Quarterback who could go early in the Draft named Jake Locker who probably would have gone above or around the same spot as Bradford if he went into the Draft this year going by some of the draft boards before he said he was going to stay in school.
So, what would you rather do, draft Suh, McCoy, or maybe someone to shore up the offensive line, and draft Jake Locker next year. Or would you rather get Bradford and see how he develops.

Now that the draft is over, I will make some predictions as to who will open the season on the 53-man roster. This is extremely early and obviously, it will be much different when the time comes because of factors we don't know at the moment like injuries and preseason. But it is never too early to have an idea of what this team will look like. So here I am projecting this team. It will not include Mario Manningham or Marcus Lattimore as they are recovering from serious injuries suffered last season and those two players are expected to start this season on PUP. So with that, here is my prediction for the 53-man roster.
QB (3): Colin Kaepernick, Colt McCoy, Scott Tolzien
OL (8): Joe Staley, Mike Iupati, Jonathan Goodwin, Alex Boone, Anthony Davis, Daniel Kilgore, Joe Looney, Carter Bykowski
RB (5): Frank Gore, LaMichael James, Kendall Hunter, Bruce Miller, Anthony Dixon
WR (5): Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin, A.J. Jenkins, Kyle Williams, Quinton Patton
TE (4): Vernon Davis, Vance McDonald, Garrett Celek, DeMarcus Dobbs
DL (7): Justin Smith, Glenn Dorsey, Ray McDonald, Tank Carradine, Ian Williams, Will Tukuafu, Quinton Dial
LB (8): Aldon Smith, Patrick Willis, Navorro Bowman, Ahmad Brooks, Corey Lemonier, Parys Haralson, Nick Moody, Dan Skuta
DB (10): Carlos Rogers, Donte Whitner, Eric Reid, Tarrell Brown, Chris Culliver, Nnamdi Asomugha, Craig Dahl, C.J. Spillman, Trenton Robinson, Perrish Cox
ST (3): Phil Dawson, Andy Lee, Brian Jennings
PUP: Mario Manningham, Marcus Lattimore
So those are my projections as of right now. Of course, lots of things will change between now and the final cutdown date. I would like to hear who should be on the roster and who should not.

Atherton mum avoids jail for tax credits fraud
7:30am Friday 24th January 2014 in North West
A MOTHER and former HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) employee has avoided jail for claiming too much in tax credits.
Emma Marie Chantler, of Warwick Road, Atherton, lied about her childcare costs and failed to declare her husband's self-employed income which resulted in her receiving £42,088.61 she wasn't entitled to between April 2005 and April 2011.
She was sentenced to 36 weeks' imprisonment suspended for 12 months and 160 hours' unpaid work at Manchester Crown Court on January 15.
Barbara Duda, from HMRC, said: "HMRC will vigorously pursue anyone who abuses the trust that we have placed in them.
"Chantler took advantage of her position for personal gain and has paid the price for her dishonesty."
Chantler, aged 29, resigned as a contact centre manager for HMRC in August 2013 following an investigation into her misconduct.
Anyone with information about this type of fraud should call HMRC tax credit hotline on 0845 300 3900.

In this case, 0845 300 3900 became 0345 300 3900.
Calls to 03 numbers cost the same as calling 01 and 02 numbers and count towards inclusive allowances on landlines and mobiles.
If you have inclusive minutes on your landline or mobile covering the time of day you are making the call then call the 0345 number, not the 0845 number. The 0345 number will be an inclusive call and the 0845 number probably will not.
Pay as you go users will find the 0345 number is cheaper to call than the 0845 number on all but one mobile network. Only one mobile network discounts calls to 0845 numbers.
BT users on a "Weekend" plan making calls during weekdays are given discounted rates for calling 0845 numbers. These callers should continue calling the old 0845 number. However, in many cases the caller may be better off changing from a "Weekend" call plan to an "AnyTime" call plan so that all of their calls to 01, 02 and 03 numbers are inclusive at all times.

HATEFUL SPIDER, (You are quite right. It doesn't matter a bit how one begins a letter, nor, for the matter of that, how one goes on with it, or even how one ends it— and it comes awfully easy, after a bit, to write coldly —easier, if possible, than to write warmly. For instance, I have been writing to the Dean, on College business, and began the letter Obscure Animalcule," and he is foolish enough to pretend to be angry about it, and to say it wasn't a proper style, and that he will propose to the Vice-Chancellor to expel me from the University: and it is all your fault!) No, I fear I daren't send the precious book to your house: it was only lent me for myself and my cousin. But I daresay I shall have it, or a copy of it, with me at Eastbourne, and then, any day you happen to lounge in, by yourself, (I think I see you doing it!) just to amuse yourself with my books, or photographs, or orguinette, while I go on with my work, but still keeping one eye on you to see you do no mischief—why, I don't mind your reading a few lines of it, with one eye, with your other eye all the while beaming with gratitude on me. What did Amyatt think of "the Colonel"? A friend here tells me it is "utter rubbish "!
And so farewell,
ever scornfully yours,

My Dear Jessie,
I liked your letter better than anything I have had for some time. I may as well just tell you a few of the things I like, and then, whenever you want to give me a birthday present (my birthday comes once every seven years, on the fifth Tuesday in April) you will know what to give me. Well, I like, very much indeed, a little mustard with a bit of beef spread thinly under it; and I like brown sugar—only it should have some apple pudding mixed with it to keep it from being too sweet; but perhaps what I like best of all is salt, with some soup poured over it. The use of the soup is to hinder the salt from being too dry; and it helps to melt it. Then there are other things I like; for instance, pins—only they should always have a cushion put round them to keep them warm. And I like two or three handfuls of hair; only they should always have a little girl's head beneath them to grow on, or else whenever you open the door they get blown all over the room, and then they get lost, you know. Tell Sally it's all very well to say she can do the two thieves and the five apples, but can she do the fox and the goose and the bag of corn? That the man was bringing from market, and he had to get them over a river, and the boat was so tiny he could only take one across at a time; and he couldn't ever leave the fox and the goose together, for then the fox would eat the goose; and if he left the goose and the corn together, the goose would eat the corn. So the only things he could leave safely together were the fox and the corn, for you never see a fox eating corn, and you hardly ever see corn eating a fox. Ask her if she can do that puzzle.
I think I'll come and see you again—suppose we say once every two years; and in about ten years I really think we shall he good friends. Don't you think we shall? I shall be very glad to hear from you whenever you feel inclined to write, and from Sally too, if she likes to try her hand at writing. If she can't write with her hand, let her try with her foot. Neat footwriting is a very good thing. Give my love to her and Kate and Harry; only mind you keep a little for yourself.
Your affectionate friend

WHAT remarkably wicked children you are! I don't think you would find in all history, even if you go back to the times of Nero and Heliogabalus, any instance of children so heartless and so entirely reckless about returning story-books. Now I think of it, neither Nero nor Heliogabalus ever failed to return any story-book they borrowed. That is certain, because they never borrowed any, and that again is certain because there were none printed in those days.
Affectionately yours,

Lewis Carroll wrote this very unique double acrostic for Gertrude Chataway. The verses embody her name in two ways — by letters, and by syllables
Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
Eager she Wields her spade—yet loves as well
Rest on a friendly knee, the tale to ask
That he delights to tell.
Rude spirits of the seething outer strife,
Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,
Deem, if you list, such hours a Waste of life,
Empty of all delight!
Chat on, sweet maid, and rescue from annoy
Hearts that by wiser talk are unbeguiled!
Ah, happy he who owns that tenderest joy,
The heart-love of a child!
Away, fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more!
Work claims my wakeful nights, my busy days;
Albeit bright memories of that sunlit shore
Yet haunt my dreaming gaze!
My Dear Child,
I took your letter and the book-marker to Mr. Lewis Carroll this morning. He sends you his thanks for the book-marker but he was Very unwilling to take it. " I meant the book for a present," he said: " I don't want anything in exchange! " However I persuaded him to take it at last. When he saw your letter he said you were too old for the book, and that I must have made a mistake about your age, he thought you might be "thirty" not "thirteen." "No child of thirteen ever Wrote such a hand as that! " he cried. However I told him you certainly were a child, and that you had been to a very good school at the bottom of the sea.
He is writing another book about Alice, telling how she Went through the looking-glass into that wonderful house that you see in the looking-glass over the chimney-piece — but I don't know when it will be finished.
He sends you his kind regards, and I send mine to your Grandpapa and Grandmamma. I am glad you got home safe on Wednesday. Mr. Carroll says I ought to have seen you safe to your journey's end, and that he would have behaved better if he had been in my place!
Very truly Yrs

My Dear Birdie,
As are the feelings of the old lady who, after feeding her canary and going out for a walk, finds the cage entirely filled on her return, with a live turkey--or of the old gentleman who, after chaining up a small terrier overnight, finds a hippopotamus raging round the kennel in the morning such are my feelings when, trying to recall the memory of a small child who went to wade in the sea at Sandown, I meet with the astonishing photograph of the same microcosm suddenly expanded into a tall young person, whom I should be too shy to look at, even with the telescope which would no doubt be necessary to get any distinct idea of her smile, or at any rate to satisfy oneself whether she had eyebrows or not!
There I that long sentence has exhausted me, and I have only strength to say, "Thank you very sincerely for the two photographs,"—they are terribly lifelike! Are you going to be at Sandown next summer? It is just possible I may be running over there for two or three days; but Eastbourne is always my head-quarters now.
Believe me, yours affectionately,

My Dear Child,
It's been so frightfully hot here that been almost too weak to hold a pen, and even if I had been able, there was no ink — it had all evaporated into a cloud of black steam, and in that state it has been floating about the room, inking the walls and ceiling; till they're hardly fit to be seen: to-day it is cooler, and a little has come back into the ink-bottle in the form of black snow — there will soon be enough for me to write and order those photographs your Mamma wants.
This hot weather makes me very sad and sulky: I can hardly keep my temper sometimes. For instance, just now the Bishop of Oxford came to see me — it was a civil thing to do, and he meant no harm, poor man: but I was so provoked at his coming in that I threw a book at his head, which I am afraid hurt him a good deal — (Mem: this isn't quite true— so you needn't believe it — Don't be in such a hurry to believe next time—I`ll tell you why — If you set to work to believe everything, you will tire out the muscles of your mind, and then you'll be so weak you won't be able to believe the simplest true things. Only last week a friend of mine set to work to believe Jack-the-giant-killer. He managed to do it, but he was so exhausted by it that when I told him it was raining (which was true) he couldn't believe it, but rushed out into the street without his hat or umbrella, the consequence of which was his hair got seriously damp, and one curl didn't recover its right shape for nearly two days. (Mem: some of that is not quite true, I'm afraid —). Will you tell Greville I am getting on with his picture (to go into the oval frame, you know) and I hope to send it in a day or two — Also tell your Mamma that I'm sorry to say that none of my sisters are coming to London this summer. With my kind regards to your Papa and Mamma, and love to you and the other infants, I remain

My Dear Dolly,
… I'm going to send your Papa a little present this Christmas, which I daresay you may like to look at: it consists of some thin slices of dried vegetables that somebody has found a way of preparing so that it doesn't come to pieces easily: they are marked in a sort of pattern with some chemical stuff or other, and fastened between sheets of pasteboard to preserve them. I believe the sort of thing isn't a new invention, but the markings of these are quite new: I inserted them myself.

Here we are in the depths of another white winter, with the snow express giving us eight (read that nine, if there was snow on Friday) snowstorms before mid-January. Not only does it hark back to the winter of '93-'94, but also to the winter of '67-'68 (my first year in the Lehigh Valley), and several other memorable winters since.
I was a freshman at Lehigh University in '67-'68, living in the "quad" up on the hill, and I learned stuff about cold and snow that I'd never known before. There were some good snowstorms in the '50s, when I was a tyke, but they couldn't equate to the cold, ice and "fun" of '67-'68.

Round 1 of the Phoenix Open didn't quite get completed on time, with play suspended due to darkness, but the majority of players got through their rounds. The first round will resume on Friday morning, early enough for the second round to tee off on time. Ryan Palmer leads the field at seven-under par, with some big names close behind him.
Bubba Watson sits at five-under par through 15 holes and will complete his round early in the morning. Phil Mickelson finished his round at three-under, and Dustin Johnson also sits at three-under after having completed all 18 holes. Some players have as many as six holes left to play on Friday before they complete their rounds.
Some big names had less luck than Watson, Mickelson and Johnson on the first day. Stewart Cink shot 12-over, while Y.E. Yang also struggled a bit and came in at two-over par. Check out the full leaderboard here.
