It's been a rough day on the course for John Peterson, the 23-year-old former LSU golfer who started the day at one-over after a couple of impressive showings to start the week. He was four-over par for the day and six shots off the lead as he walked up to the 13th hole, a 199 yard par-3.
When he hit his tee shot, he didn't seem to think that he hit it hard enough. He started yelling at the ball to 'go', and it went. His shot caught the front of the green and took an extremely favorable bounce, then rolled straight towards the cup and went directly in for an ace without any kind of skip off the flagstick.
Peterson's now three-over par, just two-over on the day and four shots behind leader Jim Furyk.

No further action for duo after stabbing arrests
8:40am Saturday 26th May 2012 in News By Emma Streatfield, Senior Reporter
NO further action will be taken against two people arrested following an incident in Romsey in which a boy was stabbed in the head.
The 17-year-old sustained an injury to the back of his head after a fight started outside a house where a 16th birthday party was taking place following the arrival of gatecrashers.
The boy was taken to hospital following the incident, in Old Salisbury Lane, Romsey, on April 21 just after midnight, and received stitches for what was described as a cut to the back of his head, but was later discharged.
A police spokesman said an 18-year-old man from Southampton arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and a 16-year-old boy from Southampton arrested on suspicion of wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent would face no further police action.
A 15-year-old appeared in court earlier this month in connection with the incident charged with causing actual bodily harm, affray and possessing a pointed article as an offensive weapon.
He denied all the allegations and was bailed pending his trial at Southampton Youth Court in July.

Oh, and the Brewers won big, too.
Win Expectancy Graph
BR Box Score
And of course, after the game the Brewers continued to commit the most dastardly crime against humanity ever recorded in the book of "Are You Really Still Complaining About This?": the untucking of shirts. Please consult the proper authorities.
Bird Land has a post up on, you guessed it, untucked shirts. He actually explains the reasons, though. Maybe people will read it and learn something. Probably not, though.
According to Tyler Maas at Bugs and Cranks, Ryan Braun wore a different kind of uniform yesterday. Not sure if he kept it tucked in.
A friend of mine was recently working on compiling a list of things that are completely unnecessary to say. For example, he'll walk into a store, pick something up off the shelf and exclaim, "Oh, I wonder if they have these?!" Tom H. has apparently picked up the trend. This morning he's letting us all know that the Brewers, who won game 1 of a series last night, are also hoping to win game 2 to complete the sweep.
He did include this note in today's game story, though:
"They're a better team, plain and simple," the scout said.
One other awards note: Fungoes has Ryan Braun 12th in their rankings for NL MVP, behind, among others: two pitchers, an outfielder who's out for the season and an outfielder that no longer plays in the NL.
There have been times in the not-so-distant past when stuff like this would have been the only Brewer news in September: The Brewers announced their contributions to the Arizona Fall League yesterday.
Three members of the West Virginia Power (low-A) were named to the South Atlantic League's post-season All Star Team.
Also, here are some photos from Nashville including (relatively) rare photographs of Mat Gamel in a Sounds uniform.
Book your vacation days now, the postseason schedule has been announced.
On injuries:
J.D. Drew's herniated disc landed him on the DL after all.
Nats OF Austin Kearns has a stress fracture in his foot and will miss 2-4 weeks.
Rangers SP Vicente Padilla is still having issues with his neck and may not pitch Friday.
Marlins RP Renyel Pinto has been placed on the DL with a "sore hamstring" that couldn't possibly be related to this.
Rays C Dioner Navarro had to leave yesterday's game with cramping in his hamstrings and may not play today.
Nick Swisher left last night's game in the 4th inning after fouling a pitch off of his foot.
Again, this is the kind of stuff that used to be the biggest Brewer news in September: MLB Trade Rumors has projected free agent compensation for players likely to be on the move this winter.
Also likely to be on the move: most, if not all of your favorite Florida Marlins, as it seems unlikely the team will come to terms with all 18 arbitration eligible players they'll have this winter.
So let's say you're an MLB general manager and you're looking to upgrade your pitching this offseason. If CC Sabathia is out of your reach, who's the second best free-agent pitcher? Dave Cameron at Fangraphs suggests it's Derek Lowe.
I guess now that J.D. Drew has been DL'ed this move is mildly relevant, but it still feels like a yawner: The Red Sox acquired Mark Kotsay yesterday.
The race to 20 wins got a little closer yesterday: Cliff Lee picked up his 19th win last night, while Brandon Webb took the loss in his first shot at 20. If Cliff Lee reaches 20 wins, and all the signs would suggest he will, will it be the quietest 20 wins ever?
Oh, and do you hate love poems? Would you like them more if they were about Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame Catcher Carlton Fisk? I thought you would.
Drink up.

Miami Hurricanes quarterback Jacory Harris has reportedly been deemed ineligible as the NCAA investigates his role in the massive scandal involving alleged improper benefits from former booster Nevin Shapiro. Harris is reportedly one of eight Miami football players whom the Hurricanes declared ineligible as a proactive measure, with the NCAA set to make a final decision shortly. But the news may not be all bad for Harris and the Hurricanes.
Harris reportedly believes he will be ruled eligible, and Miami has asked the NCAA to expedite its ruling in an effort to receive some kind of resolution before the season begins.
A person with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that Harris is one of eight players declared ineligible by the university after an investigation turned up some proof that former booster Nevin Shapiro provided extra benefits. The school has asked the NCAA if the ineligible players may be reinstated in time for the season-opener.
Which players were deemed ineligible, and exactly how many, is still a mystery, with head coach Al Golden only saying some players had been ruled ineligible by the university. The players may be reinstated in the next week, or may be handed suspensions for their involvement in the scandal.

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:As a New Yorker living in lower Manhattan I was engulfed by the events of 9/11. Within hours I began to receieve emails and calls from friends and well-wishers all over the world. The outpouring of love and support was truly the silver lining in a terribly dark cloud.
Here I am attaching a copy of the email I sent out during those first difficult days:
Dearest Friends,
I feel I want to share these observations with the many friends who are in my thoughts these days?. I imagine that sharing this with each of you is my way of feeling closer to friends and family in these difficult times?
Tuesday, 9/11/12
.... I am safe and well, but it?s been a terrible, terrible day. As you know, my apartment is at the foot of Fifth Avenue with a clear, unobstructed view of the World Trade Towers. I stepped outside this morning at 8:50 on the way to the gym. It was less than 5 minutes after the first plane hit the tower and there was a clear view of all the damage, the flames and the billowing smoke. It was indescribably horrific...and that was, of course, to prove to be just the beginning.
New Yorkers are at their very best in times of crisis and today was no different. All the trains, subways, buses, cabs were stopped (at least in this part of town) so the ONLY way to get anywhere was to walk. The streets were teaming with people either just being together on the streets or walking their way about town. You could easily spot anyone who was walking up from the trade center because they were covered in what looked like volcanic soot...some with small wounds wrapped in handkerchiefs or make-shift bandages....and many, many people walking around dazed or crying or just shaking their heads talking to themselves.
The entire area feels like a war zone. The only vehicles on the street have been the emergency vehicles or the trucks carrying medical supplies, oxygen tanks, etc to the hospital. Several police cars drive around with the windows blown out. The Air Force had fighter planes patrolling the skies. The Red Cross and Salvation Army trucks started arriving later in the afternoon. They put out a call for blood and the streets soon filled with lines of people 4-deep from one avenue to the next...people waited as much as 7 hours in line to donate blood.
With my years in ER Psych I went to volunteer at the hospital which is 2 blocks away and is the primary receiving hospital for this tragedy. They also asked if I could help translate (I could help with French or Indonesian of course) but in the end they were overwhelmed with people volunteering and I decided to come back in a day or two as people loose steam and can appreciate fresh replacements.
I had had plans to have dinner with some dear friends but since many restaurants and shops were closed (the banks also closed by about 10:30 and the primary elections were called off) we decided to have an impromptu dinner at my place instead. It was good to be surrounded by friends this evening....this was not an evening to be alone.
It will be so strange to wake up tomorrow and just have a hole where the Trade Center has been. It?s always been a special pleasure of mine to be able to step out my front door and see the Empire State Building to the right and the Twin Towers to the left...I will miss them...and the sense of safety that has been shattered forever by this experience.
Perhaps the most eery thing of all has been all the people who have NOT arrived at the hospitals. With expectations of approximately 20,000 people in the Twin Towers, the hospital has only admitted 130...With the exception of these few and the few admitted to some other area hospitals, all the rest lie under the rubble....what a gruesome, horrifying picture...what a gruesome, horrifying experience.
Well, I should try to get some sleep. It?s hard to imagine what I will see when I close my eyes, but whatever it is, I know it is far, far less to deal with than so many people around the city tonight...in the midst of all this horror, I am so fortunate.
Hold someone you love just a little bit closer tonight.
??.It is as horrible today as it was yesterday but in different ways. With the primary triage hospital just 2 blocks from me, this neighborhood is now the epicenter of human activity...The information center for people searching for loved ones is on the next block so there are lines of hundreds of people, some sobbing, most just numb, lined up behind police barricades waiting their turn in line to enter the makeshift facility to ask if their loved one was one of the few to be admitted to one of the hospitals or, as is most likely, how they can learn further about those who are, until now, unheard from. There is such a heaviness in the air...
Today trucks full of rubble roll by fairly regularly, but still no ambulances? The smoke continues to rise, but the wind has shifted?today we smell and breathe the smoke in a way that we did not yesterday.
To sit in the middle of all this and not be able to be helpful is, for me, almost torturous, but the reality is that there is so much personnel (hospital, army, Red Cross, police, etc.) that there is no real need for additional people. I am extremely impressed with how well organized everything is and how smoothly it all seems to be running. People continue to be helpful, accommodating. Walking next to the endlessly long lines of people searching for loved one are people offering bottles of water, snacks, fruit, sandwiches?whatever they can find to help ease the burden of those suffering the most. Things do not always run smoothly but everyone understands that the city is "winging it" and trying its? very best.
I spend some time each day on the streets to remain in touch with this unphathomable reality, but mostly I just stare at the television or spend time with friends. We have all sought one another out. This is not a time to be alone. In addition, the outpouring of concern from friends and family around the world has been extraordinary. It is the only way that I know sometimes that this is not a terrible personal dream...not something that I am exaggerating and dramatizing... but truly a cataclysmic event that is affecting people around the world.
I have been having a strenuous debate with myself about whether or not to go to San Francisco tomorrow. I am booked on a flight from Newark to San Fran...the identical itinerary as one of the hijacked planes. It is most likely that the decision will be taken out of my hands - that the flight will be cancelled - but if it does fly as scheduled I remain conflicted. Torn between a feeling of fear at how close this all hits home...not only in my line of vision as it unfolded and then in my neighborhood as it gathers, but also a duplication of the intended flight of a planeload of victims...this is very close indeed. I also have a certain reluctance to leave my hometown at a time like this, even though, in reality, there is nothing that I can do.
On the other hand, I argue with myself, that if ever there will be tight, effective airport security it will be in the next few days, so the reality is probably that it will never be as safe from terrorists as it will be tomorrow. And the fact is that I have been looking forward to visiting with Karin and the family and I would be genuinely disappointed to cancel those plans. So, as I write this I am unsure what I will do.
In writing this email to you, I follow the lead of my cousin Laurie who, with her family, recently lived through the wildfires of Wyoming. She routed a lengthy description of her experience which helped make it feel more immediate for me. I hope this helps you understand what has happened here. For certain, I find it helpful to share what is going on here with my "village".
It's late afternoon and I want to go out once more before dark.
At holiday time 2001I receieved a card from a cousin who gave news of her year and ended by saying it was a "joyful" year for her and her family... I responded (for myself and for all New Yorkers):
Dear Anne and John,
A ?joyful? year?.? We have had very different experiences of 2001. For me, this year has been the most difficult and painful year of my life. I have not yet recovered from the brutal, painful and lasting attack on my city and my home. There is not yet a day that goes by when I do not reflect back to those terrible days or try to adjust to the realities of my new life. The gaping hole, aglow at night from rescue lights and barren with blue sky during the day requires a recalculation each time I look up.
New Yorkers still address one another as family, still understand unexpected outbursts of tears, still make way for emergency vehicles, and still maintain makeshift memorials at places of loss ? My neighborhood holds visions that, though fading from reality are ingrained in my mind? and in the mind?s eye of my neighbors and my community. We are still trying to comprehend what has happened to us.
I was able for the first time yesterday to trace my running route which now ends at a broken and torn Winter Garden of The World Financial Center?the trees covered in ash, the windows smashed - a corpse of my old life?.and yet a life that was so recent that my ankle is still sore with wounds from jogging that very route. Reconciliation of the realities still eludes me.
No, for all my good fortune, and all my good health, for all my friends who were unharmed and for all the bounties I enjoy, for all my trips for travel and all my visits with family, still, with all this, for me, this has not even been a ?good? year, let alone a ?joyful? one?.Our experience of 2001 seems worlds apart.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A New Albany, Ind. mother has been arrested after police say she left her 5-month-old infant alone in a truck while she went shopping for baby clothes at Target.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the events took place on April 29, shortly before 8 p.m. at the Target store, not far from Green Valley Road.
Police say an officer was dispatched to the store to check on the welfare of an infant that had been left alone in a vehicle. When he arrived, he allegedly found a 1999 white Ford F-150 with its emergency flashers activated and parked in a no-parking area right outside the front doors of the store.
"Upon approaching the vehicle, I could hear a baby crying inside the vehicle," the arresting officer wrote in the probable cause affidavit. "I looked through the windows and I did not see any occupants. I opened the unlocked driver's side door and located a baby infant in an infant carrier wrapped in a blanket in the back seat of the truck. The infant appeared to be approximately five months of age, and was extremely upset and crying uncontrollably."
Police say there were no adults nearby and the key to the vehicle was in the ignition.
When the officer went inside the store, he allegedly spoke with an employee who told him that two hours earlier, 27-year-old Angela Carpenter -- the infant's mother, who used the alias "Angela Seacat" -- and another woman walked into the store with a child.
Police say the employee described their behavior as "suspicious" and said that one of the women was trying to get the other to leave. At one point, the employee said both women were inside the store without the infant for 5-10 minutes. They were inside for such a long time, with the infant inside the truck, that the employee decided to contact authorities, police say.
When the officer found Carpenter inside the store, she allegedly had several items of clothing in her hand.
"I asked Carpenter why she left her child in the truck," the officer wrote. "She stated that she only left her for two minutes. I asked her what she was shopping for, and what items she had in her hands when I approached her. She stated that she had picked out clothing and shoes for [her daughter.]"
"I informed her she was inside for more than two minutes, and she said she made a big mistake," the officer added.
The outside temperature at the time of the incident was 70 degrees, according to police.
Carpenter was arrested and charged with neglecting a dependent.

Good books on databases are rare. So permit me to step out of my normal MySQL-centric role and review a new book that is very good and covers a lot of generic relational database territory while also teaching the basics of Oracle 11g. I would estimate that 10% of the book is 11g and the rest would be valuable to new DBAs of other database systems. Besides, seeing how other databases perform some tasks differently may spur you to improve your own.

Stumbling onto 800-CEO-Read, and their top books feature, I found Brogan and Smith's work. Brogan's blog intrigued me enough so I walked down to the Strand here in NYC to pick up a copy.
What I found was an excellent introduction to the nebulous world of social media marketing, where you find all sorts of advice and suggestions on how to engage your target audience. If you're feeling like an ignoramus on matters of social media, Trust Agents is a great place to start and will give you[Read more...]
Read the original article at Book Review – Effective MySQL
Effective MySQL: Optimizing SQL Statements by Ronald Bradford No Nonsense, Readable, Practical, and Compact I like that this book is small; 150 pages means you can carry it easily. It's also very no nonsense. It does not dig too deeply into theory unless it directly relates to your day-to-day needs. And those needs probably cluster [...]

What do you do after founding not one, but two companies and watching them fail miserably all by the time you were barely out of college?
Move to the Valley, make shrewd investments in other startups and become insanely rich like Sean Parker? A Bit lofty perhaps. How about try, try again and succeed. Then reinvent yourself as a guru dishing out startup wisdom through your blog and publishing a book that ends up the top of the New York Times Bestseller's list. That's essentially what Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup[Read more...]

Packt Publishing recently sent me a copy of MySQL for Python to review and after reading through the book I must say that I'm rather impressed at the variety of topics that the book covers.
It starts off with the basics of setting up MySQL for your testing/development needs by going over several of the common installation and configuration methods. After that it's a quick intro for connection methods and simple error reporting for connections. The author gives a quick intro to CRUD and how it relates to databases and python before heading into the common tasks of simple queries. I was surprised to see some database profiling discussion; which is rather handy for a new coder or a[Read more...]

I've recently been migrating my wiki/documentation for Kontrollbase to Trac. For those that are not aware, Trac is a web-based documentation/wiki/Subversion tool that is used by countless number of software projects. Subversion, of course, is a software collaboration and code management repository that manages branches/tags/trunk files with revision control. It's one of the most heavily used open-source code repositories available. Given that I use SVN (subversion) for all of my software applications and am now using Trac, the book "Managing Software Development with Trac and Subversion" by David J Murphy comes as a useful and great[Read more...]
On the front cover of MySQL Administrator's Bible is a sentence that reads:
"The book you need to succeed!"
I must say, I do agree. Authored by two very experienced DBAs, Sheeri Cabral and Keith Murphy,
they've combined their talents to cover what you really need to know to
succeed. This book is very versatile. If you're new to MySQL, or
experienced in another database and have to start administrating MySQL,
you need this book. I can honestly say, even if you have years of MySQL
experience, you will learn

Optimizing Oracle Performance by Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt uses Oracle to make its points, but these points apply also to MySQL. The primary lesson I took away from this book is: all else aside, optimize/fix the user-action that provides the most economic benefit to the company; do this by profiling just that action and optimizing/fixing the most time-consuming events even if they are "idle" or "wait" events.
The authors call the aforementioned approach to performance optimization "Method R". It's meant to be deterministic and teachable unlike "Method C"–the conventional method–whereby one uses their best judgment and experience to find the cause(s) of problems and fix them. I agree, and Method R is fundamentally, imho, just the[Read more...]
I haven't received my copy of the book yet, but being unable to control my temptation I have started reading it over Safari while waiting for my own very personal copy. :)
Already a fan of the first edition, you can feel the same charisma being carried over in this book also. The best part of the book is the simplicity by which you are set sailing over MySQL.
Without doubt, it is one of the best books MySQL can ask for. Certainly, I would recommend this book to anyone who is associated with the word MySQL. Or otherwise if you answer yes to any of these questions below, then go and grab a copy.

A website that used to host news stories for a Valley college now features somewhat racier content. When entering the web address for the former site of the UAH campus paper, there is now a Japanese website in its place. A site translation tool found this website has some racy writing in place of university news.
If UAH students wanted to catch up on student affairs, typically they'd log on to chargertimes.org. If you do that now, you'll find the news has moved out and a Japanese website has moved in, which sells sexy lingerie. Students and school officials were surprised by the discovery.
"I would think that I was on the wrong site," said freshman Michal Robertson.
"It was a little bit shocking to think that somebody would care about the domain name, and at the same time, we don't have a license to it, so it is what it is," said Dean of Students and Vice-President for Student Affairs, Regina Hyatt.
She said Chargertimes.org is not how news will be spread to students in the future.
"We are going through a website revision and transitioning the student newspaper on to the new URL, so we didn't renew the previous URL. At some point in the past couple of weeks it was brought to our attention this was done."
The new URL for the school paper will be chargertimes.uah.edu. Hyatt said they are working to promote the new site so if Charger Times is Googled, their site will come up instead of the one for lingerie. The paper plans to have their first print edition on the 29th.

Adam Richman travels across the United States to explore the culture and unique "big food" of one city in each episode. In some episodes, Richman takes on food challenges involving very hot and spicy (or piquant) foods (such as foods spiced with habanero peppers), and also large quantities of food, such as a 5-pound-sandwich challenge. He finds places in each city to indulge his appetite and visits local landmarks.
Richman interacts with local restaurateurs as they demonstrate the making of a house specialty or element of local cuisine. He gives a brief insight to the local community by talking to patrons at the establishments and asking about the most-talked about orders.
Episodes sometimes include a brief fantasy sequence where Richman pretends to be a character to psych himself up for the episode's big food challenge. The half-hour show culminates in Richman facing off against an established local food challenge.

Does ESPN Hate the NHL?
|ESPN (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
One of the questions that I have often asked myself is; does ESPN even need to show hockey highlights? Why would they? NHL Hockey fans know that if they want to watch the NHL in the USA, they can watch the sport on NBCSN or on your regional sports channel like FSN. Or you can do what many NHL fans do, they simply purchase the NHL package, NHL Center Ice. This one of the main reasons that I don't watch ESPN at all anymore. The only actual hockey games that ESPN shows on the sports network, is during the NCAA hockey tourney.
Allan Muir, SI.COM --- SportsCenter likes to cover the NFL. A lot. LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning got mentioned more often for crossing the street than most athletes did for making game-winning plays. They'll throw down the adjective "elite" to describe anything from a prospect to a haircut.
Where Burns' sacrifice starts paying off is when he examines the treatment of hockey on the program. Now we all know it is an afterthought, falling just below Tim Tebow's dating life and just above Little League baseball and arena football. His numbers bear out that belief. Out of a total broadcast time of 23,052.75 minutes last year, SportsCenter devoted all of 459.5 to covering the NHL.
That's a whopping 2.7 percent of its airtime.
Does that seem like a reasonable representation of the interest in the game across this great land? Of course not. And that's why many hockey fans can't be bothered with the show.
But relative to some other numbers, hockey has some surprising company among the other sports that are fighting for scraps of airtime.
Consider golf, a sport that boasts one of the world's most high-profile athletes in Tiger Woods and draws decent ratings on the major U.S. networks. It earned just 3.3 percent of ESPN's airtime. That's more than the NHL, but given golf's profile, the margin isn't as great as I expected.

A Farewell to a Flagship, an interesting factoid, and an Interesting Comment by a Blowhard (RW77)
|English: NHL Commisioner Gary Bettman in 2007. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Say-Oh Nara Pittsburgh
Sad day for Gary Bettman, the NHL PR office, and the city of Pittsburgh. Their glorious flagship franchise and their face of the NHL is now hanging up their skates for the offseason. In truth, with the exception of Matt Cooke, there isn't a lot to NOT like about the Penguins... if you forget about all the media hype and attention lorded upon that franchise for seemingly no other reason other than Sidney Crosby.
The truth is, the same thing that haunted the Pens since Crosby was drafted reared its ugly head again: Bad Team D and spotty goaltending. The Penguins defense simply ISN'T GOOD. In many regards, UND fans can understand this by stating the following: Pittsburgh plays a similar game to Minnesota Gopher hockey. The Penguins, like the Gophers, are a slick passing, great puck handling, finesse style team that can be disrupted and handled if you can play solid D and be physical. The Bruins are solid defensively and played very physically. They swept the Pens. It was that simple.
The Bruins weren't flashy. They weren't especially fun to watch (sorry Goon and B's fans). They were sturdy, lunch pail type players... and Gregory Campbell wins the word for Oh my Goodness fortitude. Good grief. They don't nearly have the hype surrounding them as the Pens do. And the B's let the Pens keep the hype. I'm sure the media covered the victors only because they had to while really pining to get to the Pens lockerroom to see what the Golden Child had to say.
As for goaltending I don't know what to say about Tomas Vokoun. I REALLY like Tomas. I thought he was one of THE most underrated goaltenders in the entire NHL for about a 5 year stretch (until Halak stole that title from him while with Montreal). It's sad that he's on the decline of his career and he'll have nothing to show for it. Vokoun and Iginla (again, sorry B's fans) are two of the only players on the Pens I sympathize with.
As for Fleury, I said it before and I say it again: Fleury is in the top 3 for most overrated goaltenders in the NHL. The other two being Carey Price (Montreal) and Roberto Luongo (Vancouver), though Luongo is fading from this list because his career is fading as well. I think Jonas Hiller of Anaheim may take Luongo's spot before long. To be nicer to Fleury, though, Price is still #1 in this category. But there's time left despite Price holding the edge in age.
Where do the Pens go from here? To the Golf Course.
Good riddance. Now Mr. Bettman... Now's the time to start marketting a team OTHER than your beloved. Are you going to have the cahones to do it or are you just going to sit back in your office and sulk?
An Interesting Comment by a Blowhard
Speaking of Gary Bettman, I was listening to ESPN Radio blowhard Colin Cowherd the other day and he actually made a decent point (in between fluffing himself up as some sort of uber objective yackityyacker which only his fans actually believe is true). He commented on the popularity of sports other than the NFL (he said that the NFL is far and away the most popular and there's no sport out there that will come close... and he's right) the NHL has a marketable product that is interesting and entertaining. However, they don't market the product at all. They don't make the media talk about the NHL at all. They hide it away on a cable TV station (Versus) for a long time and then benefit by the purchase of Versus by NBC, which has the rights because they cannot wrest the rights to the NBA from the other networks. They marketted themselves by saying "We're back" when that was outwardly foolish.
I agree. I can't believe it but I agree with Cowherd. ESPN doesn't care about hockey. He says its because of this failure to make themselves marketable and in the mainstream. That's probably most of the issue but not all of it. ESPN's bread and butter is the NBA. And whenever it mentions the NFL ratings go through the roof. So, that's where they focus. ESPN did put in a bid for the NHL TV rights but the bid was low and the priority was such that the NHL would invariably be buried or preempted if something they felt was more important was on. I have no confidence that, outside of the NHL playoffs (provided they didn't conflict with the NBA playoffs or finals), would even appear on ESPN itself. Mostly likely it would have been ESPN 2 or 3. NHL Tonight, even during the years that ESPN did air NHL games, was aired closer to midnight than to primetime. Why would Bettman, as questionable as his intelligence is at times, want that for his league?
But in truth, Cowherd is right in that the NHL does a VERY VERY VERY VERY bad job of marketting itself. They put commercials on NBC and the NHL Network and NHL Center Ice does get some Ad time but that's it. I bet they could find ways to get Crosby on ABC or Ovechkin on Fox Sports pushing the NHL. I'm sure they could find storylines to push for just about every NHL team if they wanted. But they don't. They focus mostly on the Penguins, Crosby, and the Finals and let the rest twist in the wind.
Let's face it: The NHL will NEVER EVER be as popular as the NFL. I'm not suggesting they even try to compete with even COLLEGE Football. But I'm pretty darn sure they could garner more of the viewership market than they are getting now. Baseball is a slow, tedious, and downright boring sport to watch. It takes FOREVER to get through a game... heck, it takes too long just for the pitcher to decide upon a pitch and then start his windup. The NHL is fast, exciting, physical, challenging to play, and ENTERTAINING to watch. It's time it was marketted that way.
A Final Interesting Factoid
I'll leave this rant with an interesting factoid. Unless my research is off, if Chicago finishes off L.A., this finals will mark the first time Boston has faced Chicago in the Stanley Cup Finals. How mindblowing that you could have two Original Six teams that have NEVER faced off since the Stanley Cup finals began (1927)

In case you're wondering, you can listen to the Judd and Dubay radio show from 9 to noon weekdays on you smartphones or by logging on to the 1500ESPN website. Lastly, you can also download the podcasts from iTunes if you are unable to listen on-line or on your smart phone.
Eric Burton: You had a tough 3-4 years, and I think it's safe to say that you have come full circle and now are back where you should be, on the Sports Talk Show talking sports, and how fitting is it that your first week back you're talking UND vs. UMN?
Jeff Dubay: It was really fun coming back in time for the weekend series but I have to admit I may have gone a little overboard with the good natured jabs at UND on Friday's show. That's what happens when you save it all up for four years I guess.
EB: If you can briefly explain your feelings about your new job and the struggles that you went through to make it back?
JD: I'm really excited about the opportunity at 1500espn. I met with Dan Seeman over a year ago and even though I was sober I still wasn't ready for the job and he could see it. The first year of sobriety is tough on a person and a radio show would have been too much for me at the time so Dan told me to keep doing the right thing and my time would come.
I spent the next year staying clean and getting out to tell my story at treatment centers and schools as well as meeting one on one with any struggling addicts that reached out for help. Then the job came open on Judd's show and I knew my time was now. My head was clear and self-esteem restored due to the way I had been living and when I met with Dan Seeman last month he could see a pronounced difference in me and almost immediately I was offered the chance to audition on air for a week by program director Brad Lane.
The week went well enough that I was offered the job on Thursday the tenth but I was not allowed to tell anyone for 24 hours because I hadn't signed the contract yet. That was not easy for me. I'm lousy at keeping secrets and I was pretty damn excited. The next day was a blast because once I signed and they released the info officially I became the recipient of a lot of well-wishing from friends and listeners. It was a great day for me personally.
EB: Is a cooling off period good for this rivalry [between UND vs. UMN]?
JB: I wish it was only a cooling off period but personally I think it's the end of the rivalry. It will still be fun to see each other in the postseason and down the road in nonconference play but it will never be the same. The intensity will only decrease over time.
EB: Feelings on the UMN and UND series taking a hiatus?
JD: It's too bad they couldn't schedule each other right away but the schedules are made in advance and U of M policy wouldn't allow the scheduling of an opponent with the nickname controversy. Plus Lucia's immediate loyalty had to be to the other four in-state schools with d-1 programs. We should all hope for a meeting at the final five this year. The intensity in that one would be all time high.
EB: Your feelings on the B1G hockey conference?
JD: I'm not a fan of the Big Ten hockey conference but I suppose like any change in life it will eventually become routine. My fear is we will leave the format of the weekend series for random weeknight games and be at the mercy of the Big Ten network for TV coverage rather than relying on FSN for great coverage. I also hate losing all our natural rivals except Wisconsin. I would have preferred things stay the same but once Penn State started up a d-1 program no one had any choice.
EB: Impressions of this past week's games between UND and UMN?
JD: It was a fun and competitive weekend. Even the Friday game was a one goal contest in the third when Wilcox got tested a couple times and had to come up big to keep it from getting tied up. Saturday was a bit more dramatic. I was surprised to see all the quality chances for both teams in the third period.
Usually with one team leading you would expect a slightly more defensive approach but the defense was leaking for both teams so the scoring chances were there going both ways. Wilcox wasn't sharp and got lucky on a couple pipes. Grimaldi was the best player on the ice Saturday but this North Dakota team doesn't seem as rugged as some in recent memory but they are a tirelessly working lunch pale crew with a dangerous top line that no one will want to play in the NCAA tourney.
EB: Are we going to hear more College Hockey talk now that you're on 1500 ESPN?
JD: I don't know if you'll hear more college hockey talk because I don't know how much there was before. Judd is an avid college hockey fan and he and I actually attended a UND-Wisconsin game at the Kohl Center together back in the Oshie-Toews years. We were in town for a Gopher-Badger football game the same weekend. There will be plenty of hockey talk. You don't have to twist Judd's arm.
EB: Do you and P.A. still keep in contact? Do you ever listen to his show?
JD: I just talked to P.A. last week and we tweet to each other from time to time as well. I stopped listening to the fan the day I was fired. Nothing personal, it was just too hard for me.
EB: During the week of your audition, I was listening to you and the co-host Judd Zulgad talk about a Vikings game, and you said that during the one game in question, that you were incarcerated during that event. What was that like? How did you make it through? How did you keep your sanity?
JD: There's nothing worse than having your freedom taken away. It makes you feel sub-human. Having a door lock behind you is something I wouldn't wish on even my least favorite Sioux fans. ;)
I was lucky enough to meet former Viking receiver Buster Rhymes in my team at the workhouse. He's a good man and a great influence on me.
EB: Secret to staying sober?
JD: The key to my sobriety lies in how miserable my life became while using. When you get right down to it how hard is it really to stop doing something that you no longer enjoy at all and in many ways have grown to hate? The bottom line is I want to be sober and I don't want to use. I know that sounds simple but it has been for me and for that I'm very grateful.

Will UND fans cheer Holy Cross?
This past weekend, I was listening to the UND Hockey on the radio and between periods, the voice of UND Hockey, Tim Hennessy was interviewing hockey guru Jess Myers of ESPN 1500 and Jess made mention of the Holy Cross series that's coming up in January at the Ralph and joked whether UND fans would still cheer Holy Cross when they're introduced.
So do you think that UND fans will cheer Holy Cross? Like J.B. suggested in the comments, the fans may cheer before the first game but Holy Cross will become enemy number one, once the first puck is dropped.
During the 2006 NCAA Regionals, Holy Cross was the "giant killer"... some have likened the Crusaders to Basketball's version of the Cinderella -- a surprise team that was supposed to have no chance of winning but somehow Cinderella finds it in their fiber to knock off that unbeatable highly ranked sending fans into a pandemonium.
This is not 2006 anymore.
The Crusaders definitely made NCAA Division I College Hockey history for their ginormous victory over the Gophers, since that day Holy Cross, has been beloved by a lot of UND hockey fans; simply because they knocked off one of UND's most hated rivals the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Also, to this day, you still see Holy Cross shirts and jerseys in the Ralph on any given weekend. I must say that I never bought one of those shirts, but I did watch Holy Cross football when I lived in Massachusetts during the early 1990's.
This season, I don't think UND will overlook Holy Cross and I expect UND to play hard against them. UND has an all-time record of 2-0-0 against the Crusaders, beating them during the 2004 and 2006 NCAA tourney.

Tweets that give me hope that the season could be saved
NHL offer today at 50-50...Biggest issue is to honour existing contracts...players will get full value of contract in deferred dollars.
— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) October 17, 2012
I think after today developments there is some hope that a settlement could be reached or at least it's possible that both sides could agree to a new CBA. What is even more exciting is there is a chance that we could have a full 82 game NHL season. Or at least from my vantage point -- it would appear that the two sides are "finally" making some progress after the NHL owners put forward what appears to be a serious proposal now.

College Hockey takes center stage
Originally posted at the Hockey Writers - Combine
Obviously, the NHL Lockout has been a major buzz kill for NHL hockey fans so far this fall and there doesn't seem to be a solution coming anytime soon – nor does either side seem like they have any incentive to reach a deal.
For most, the NHL has become the no hockey league where both sides don't appear to be doing what any of us would consider serious negotiating.
This afternoon, I read a tweet on twitter from a ESPN's Pierre LeBrun that the NHL owners are strongly suggesting that the NHLPA put forth some kind of a counter proposal to the NHL Owners – not to be outdone of course – the NHLPA asked the owners to come up with sometime as well. I just don't think we're going to get any kind of an agreement in the near future.
Told that NHL strongly urged NHLPA in meeting today to come up with new offer. In turn, NHLPA also asked league to come up with new offer...
While the NHL owners and the NHLPA continue with their childish shenanigans – the NCAA Division I college hockey season is upon us and starting this weekend there will be quite a few NCAA teams that will be playing their exhibition games against Canadian Interuniversity Sport.
While none of these games count in the standings, it's a good way for head coachs to evaluate their teams. Also, these game can serve as a measuring stick for the CIS teams that want to see how their teams compare against the NCAA Division I teams. The CIS teams also have many ex-CHL's on their rosters that play in the CIS after they are done with their junior hockey eligibility.
Bonus Hockey
Starting tomorrow night, there is also going to be three official Division I hockey games. All three games are out east, the Maine Black Bears of Hockey East take on the Quinnipiac Bobcats of Atlantic Hockey Association at Alfond Arena, Orno Maine.
Moving down the coast and west, the Falcons of Bowling Green plays the Niagara Purple Eagles of the Atlantic Hockey Association in Dwyer Arena in Niagara New York and finally, Merrimack College of Hockey East plays against last season's Frozen Four team Union College of the ECAC at the Achilles Center in Schenectady, N.Y. unfortunately, none of these games are on TV this weekend.
The only game that will be on this weekend is the University of North Dakota takes on the Manitoba Bison of CIS at the Ralph Englestad Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota – that game is on FCS you can check your local listings for the channel, the game is also on DirecTV 626 at 7:07 PM Central Standard Time – unfortunately Fox College Sports isn't on Dish Network.

A decent read?
I do think it's funny sometimes how the NCAA picks certain issues like Sports Team logos over more important issues like graduation rates.
Kurt Snibbe/ESPN.com
Proposed Fighting Sue helmet logo.
Someone posted this article on Sioux Sports – I believe it was a Bison fan. If you haven't seen this it's worth a quick look. The reason that UND hasn't been in March Madness is that UND just finally finished their transition to Division I in all sports, I expect that eventually UND will make the NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball tourneys as well.
That being said, UND is usually in the NCAA Division I playoffs for hockey every season but once (missed NCAA playoffs in 2001-02) since 1997 and last season was the first time during the span that UND didn't wear the Fighting Sioux logo during the NCAA tourney. I am not so sure that the Johnny Cash Logo would catch on either. :) I did get a good chuckle out of that one though.Low Graduation Rates? Fine with the NCAA. Two Feathers? OMG! Over at the University of North Dakota, the state's voters recently endorsed a referendum to drop the Fighting Sioux nickname. Right now the school's teams are the -- we'll get back to you on that, as UND teams have no nickname at the moment.The NCAA ordered the University of North Dakota to drop the Fighting Sioux nickname and cease using a Sioux head image drawn by a Native American artist. The NCAA also ordered William & Mary to cease using a two-feathers sports logo. Yet the NCAA is fine with the University of Utah's American Indian nickname, the Utes, and its two-feathers logo.What's the distinction here? Money. The North Dakota men's basketball team has not made the March Madness event in 20 years. William & Mary has never made the men's tournament. Neither the University of North Dakota nor William & Mary provides the NCAA with the only thing it cares about: greenback dollars. The University of Utah, on the other hand, has 26 March Madness appearances, including 12 of the past 20 tournaments. Because in the case of the Utes, the American Indian imagery generates cash for the NCAA, all is well.Since the University of North Dakota needs a new nickname, TMQ proposes the Fighting Sue, perhaps with Johnny Cash theme music.
I do think it's funny sometimes how the NCAA picks certain issues like Sports Team logos over more important issues like graduation rates.

Wonderful Wookiee Wednesday
The holidays are rapidly approaching. I'm thinking anew item should be added to my family's holiday menus: the Wookiee-ookie, inspired by that ill-advised Star Wars Holiday Special that Lucasfilm seemed to refuse to acknowledge it ever existed for a very long time.
By the way – did you know Chewbacca liked to cook? Yeah, neither did I. He probably figured that eating raw or undercooked meat is unsafe and decided to go into cooking. After all, that whole eating raw meat certainly got him in trouble once before.

The Kitchen Shrink: It's easy to trick your senses with April Fools' Foods!
With April Fools Day around the corner, let's have some great food fun. Many foods can fool your taste buds, eyeballs and imagination. Here are some for your amusement. No kidding!
Food Misnomers: A coconut is a fruit from the coconut palm tree, not a nut. No nuts in peanuts either, as they're legumes. And peanut butter is devoid of butter. Same with buttermilk, which is really a low-cal drink. And there's no nuts or butter in butternut squash.
Pineapples have also been misleadingly named; they neither taste nor even vaguely resemble the forbidden fruit. Grapefruit has no connection with those bunches of sweet, juicy grapes. Eggplants, elliptical, purple-skinned nightshades, a first cousin to the tobacco and potato plants, have nothing to do with eggs.
Now potatoes have no correlation to toes while the thick, hardened corns you get on your toes have nothing to do with the maize crop.
Size Shenanigans: Shrimps are not always the puny, mealy ones you toss in your salads or omelets, especially the jumbo or colossal kinds. Baby carrots are really fully-grown but have been whittled down to appear diminutive and dainty. Then there's the Green Giant who promotes petite peas and baby limas.
Food Fake Outs: A famous restaurant on Fukuoka, the southern most Island of Japan, in better, happier days served masterpieces made of tofu, everything from seafood and vegetable appetizers to soups, main courses, side dishes and elaborate desserts (such as birds in a nest). Vegans worldwide can indulge in fake meat including tofu turkey, (tofurkey), tofu dogs, and textured soy "ground beef."
While Spam is a mystery meat of "spicy ham," hamburgers do not contain ham. Chefs have now expanded their burger repertoire to include chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, mushrooms, tofu and assorted grains.
Super steamed cauliflower put through a ricer mixed with butter, milk and spices masquerades as mash potatoes. Spaghetti squash strands topped with marinara sauce is a fabulous veggie linguini. Root veggies shredded and mixed with eggs, flour, seasoning, formed into patties and pan fried pass easily as potato latkes.
Finally, for lactose intolerants, frozen treats beautifully mock ice cream made of tofu, rice milk, almond milk, goat's milk and even hemp milk for pleasant fooleries.
Colorblind Fare: Blueberries are really purple, same with blackberries. Red onions are magenta. Potatoes come in hues of violet, rose and yellow, while carrots have morphed into white, yellow and purple varieties as well as the classic orange. And speaking of orange, was the fruit named first, or was it named after the color? Beets are golden hues along with red, and tomatoes are no longer exclusively red, as the heirlooms come in designer shades of golden, green, tie-dye and striped zebra print.
A Hot Tamale: People as foods? Anything's possible on April 1. The hot tamale mentioned above could be your town sexpot or cheesecake. The geek down the street is an egghead. The hunky pool guy is a beefcake. The five-time Jeopardy champ is a hot dog. The CEO of Google is not only a smart cookie, but a big cheese, while the summer apprentice would be a small fry.
The former boxer has cauliflower ears, when people get out of shape they can be saddled with a beer belly, cottage cheese thighs or muffin tops that can make them real crab apples. If you stay as cool as a cucumber and use your noodle, you can cook up dozens more. For me, this is the last straw.
Lamburger on a Bun
Here's a grilled lamburger, the leaner, better alternative to the beef hamburger. And this is no joke!
1 pound of fresh ground lamb
1 small red onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon of spicy mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
Panko breadcrumbs
Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste
For the toppings – Sliced heirloom tomatoes, grilled red onions, roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms.
Directions: In a small fry pan, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender. In a large mixing bowl combine the lamb with the remaining ingredients and the sautéed onions. Add enough breadcrumbs until a firm consistency forms. Shape into four patties, and grill to desired doneness or about 4 minutes on each side. Serve on your favorite bun with toppings of your choice.

The series, created and performed by Wade Dooley (The Awesome 80s Prom) and directed by Isaac Klein (assistant director of Broadway's West Side Story and Gypsy), premiered July 18 at PZAZZ101.com. New episodes will debut every Wednesday.
Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone, Baby It's You), Osnes (Bonnie & Clyde, Anything Goes), Massey (Wicked, Next to Normal), Herdlicka, (A Little Night Music) and Yazbeck (Chicago, Gypsy) are joined on the series by Elizabeth DeRosa (Mary Poppins), Taylor Sternberg (Jersey Boys), Jed Resnick (Avenue Q), Rashidra Scott (Sister Act), David Hull (How to Succeed…) and Nathan Johnson.
"PZAZZ 101," according to producers, "is centered around Mary Shennanbargger, former performer turned teacher, as she helps Broadway's best and brightest find their footing on the Great White Way. She knows everything there is to know about entertainment and she's ready to share the wealth. Pull up a chair, grab a Werther's and get ready to say 'Wow!'"
The webseries' second season is produced by Brian Marchetti and Maria Pendolino with photography by Jesse Patch and Ryan Hunter. Original theme music and lyrics are by Steven Silverstein (Blood Brothers) and Andrew Zachary Cohen (Lombardi, Finian's Rainbow).
