Snow heralds cold Labour Weekend
Relevant offers
Your Weather
Snow has fallen in Hanmer Springs before a long weekend of cold temperatures, rain and gales.
MetService said a "cool to cold" southwest flow would creep over the country today.
"We expect a trough of low pressure to spread on to the South Island from the Tasman Sea on Saturday and the North Island on Sunday."
It said rain had fallen across much of the east coast of the North Island, Wellington and most of the South Island, while gale-force winds were blustering through the Central Plateau northward.
Conditions were expected to worsen in some areas tomorrow and MetService was predicting cloud to increase throughout the North Island and late rain to develop from Waikato and Bay of Plenty southward.
In the South Island, heavy rain was expected in the West Coast, and scattered rain further east.
MetService forecasters said northwesterlies could rise to severe gale in central areas, but a severe-wind warning for the Tararua District and Central Hawke's Bay was lifted this morning.
The NZ Transport Agency warned motorists to drive to the conditions.
Wellington operations manager Mark Owen said drivers should "exercise great care".
"We're asking motorists to allow extra time and take care this Labour Weekend when heading out on the highways, and to make the most of their journeys rather than rush them," he said.

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday. I just needed to get my word count up for my editor so I used the same word three times. Think anyone will notice? I'm not going to be nearly as lazy when listing the BVP data for the matchups of June 4th.
* NOTE: Players are listed in alphabetical order for the sake of making them easily sortable/findable.
DISH DIAMONDS – The Best Hitting Matchups of the Day
Chris Carter has had a lot of early success against Garrett Richards. In 13 at-bats he's hit a ball into the seats, batted .462 and driven in four runs.
Will Greg Dobbs play? In 11 career at-bats against A.J. Burnett he's produced seven hits. Adam LaRoche has had bigger success as he's hit .400 with two homers and six RBIs over 25 at-bats.
(image) Edwin Encarnacion has a matchup to Continue...
FA Assistant GM
A Adler
Thank you Ray, I actually did understand that the listings are for BvP and I do like your input as it does lead to good decisions in the games I play!:) It is a bit of a misconception in any case to think of pre-determinig outcomes...Kluber is not just facing Boston today other factors are in there too...i.e. weather
Ray Flowers
A Adler - I think people are misreading these. I'm not suggesting the guys listed are the BEST options. I'm merely listing guys that have good matchups based on BVP. There's a difference that must be understood. Kluber is the best choice. I'm not a huge fan of Porcello against an offense that is mashing like that of the Blue Jays. Wainwright is elite. He starts for me every time he takes the hill.
A Adler
eh, did a dbl msg again...meant to ask why you left out KC's Vargas, and the fact that they are batting over .300 against Wainwright?
A Adler
Hi Ray, Wilson had a rough go...Does Porcello have a chance against the Jays? And is Kluber a better choice than Minor for daily? I noticed u did not mention Minor, Estrada or Norris?
Ray Flowers
Guest - What an interesting name. lol Allen has not been named closer. Love the arm, but it's not official. Have to consider him a step down from Addison at moment. Scherzer has looked blahtastic last 3 outings. Should be fine, but still, paying full price at moment I dont love. nothing wrong with deal though.
Ray Flowers
Robert Ferenc - Tigers say they are sticking with Nathan for now. I would add him, drop Feldman given your options.
Hey ray, would you trade Vmart and Addison reed in a 12 team keeper to get Scherzer? My replacement for Vmart at util would be heyward and I'd use Cody Allen as a replacement for reed. Any concerns with scherzers last couple of starts? Thanks!
Robert Ferenc
Hi Ray, 5x5 roto. 1st place, 1st on waiver claims. Someone cut Nathan. I have 7 pts in saves, 3 in WHIP and 5 in ERA. I have Mejia, Rondon, and Doolittle as closers, Scherzer, Cueto, Burnett, Kluber, Feldman, Bailey and Ross as S. Only one bench hitter. I have 2 C. Perez and Ramos. Would you pick up Nathan and if so, who to cut. Thanks Ray

Summary We propose optimal choice of the design parameters for random discontinuation designs (RDD) using a Bayesian decision-theoretic approach. We consider applications of RDDs to oncology phase II studies evaluating activity of cytostatic agents. The design consists of two stages. The preliminary open-label stage treats all patients with the new agent and identifies a possibly sensitive subpopulation. The subsequent second stage randomizes, treats, follows, and compares outcomes among patients in the identified subgroup, with randomization to either the new or a control treatment. Several tuning parameters characterize the design: the number of patients in the trial, the duration of the preliminary stage, and the duration of follow-up after randomization. We define a probability model for tumor growth, specify a suitable utility function, and develop a computational procedure for selecting the optimal tuning parameters.

The American Association of University Professors voted Saturday during its annual meeting in Washington, D.C., to censure LSU and a pair of universities in the University of Louisiana System — Northwestern State in Natchitoches and Southeastern in Hammond — bringing to five the number of state institutions of higher learning on the AAUP's censure list now numbering 52. Nicholls State University and Our Lady of Holy Cross College were already on the censure list for AAUP-perceived mistreatment of professors.
"Censure by the AAUP informs the academic community that the administration of an institution has not adhered to the generally recognized principles of academic freedom and tenure jointly formulated by the AAUP and the Association of American Colleges and Universities and endorsed by more than 200 professional and educational organizations," the group writes in an introduction to the censure reports.
LSU was censured because of the ouster of Ivor van Heerden, a nationally recognized coastal researcher who was intensely and publicly critical of the Army Corps of Engineers' role in the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. The AAUP also cites the case of LSU biology professor Dominique Homberger, who was removed from the classroom by LSU for alleged harsh grading practices.
Northwestern and Southeastern were censured for using "program discontinuances as an excuse to get rid of selected tenured faculty members" in response to state budget cuts, the AAUP says.
Immediately on the heels of the reports' release Saturday, UL System President Randy Moffett went to bat for his universities, citing $187 million in budget cuts since 2008 with an additional $54 million slated for next year.
"If the AAUP wants to be a relevant organization, its efforts would be better served by working with higher education in advocating for adequate funding of institutions, thus mitigating the need for universities to close programs and associated faculty positions," Moffett writes, adding, "Placing universities on a censure list has little, if any, practical implication as the AAUP is an advocacy group that holds no authority over higher education institutions and represents less than four percent of instructional staff at degree-granting institutions nationwide. In fact, all institutions currently on its list maintain full accreditation, which is a true, independent measure of quality delivery of educational services."

NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.

Those ranchers need to offer Herbie more money. It cost Alton coal only $10,000
to get it. Maybe, allowing for inflation, they'll need to pony up
Or maybe their timing is off. The election is over.
In the meantime, it's political graft as usual in Utah.

Referees allow UConn to go to the wrong basket in overtime
Jan 1, 2013, 10:54 PM EST
In a game that featured a furious rally in the final 10 seconds to force overtime, the only thing that anyone is going to be talking about after Marquette's 82-76 win over UConn in the Big East opener for both teams is a mistake that cost UConn a bucket at the start of the extra period.
On the jump ball to start the overtime, the referees allowed the centers to face the wrong direction:
As a result, when UConn won the tip, the Huskies ran a set going towards Marquette's basket. Ryan Boatright found Shabazz Napier on a back door cut, but his layup attempt was goaltended by Marquette's Jamil Wilson.
That's when the refs finally realized their mistake and appeared to make another.
The Golden Eagles were given the ball under their own basket. There has been no official statement yet (we will update when one comes down), but it appears that the refs ruled that since it's not possible to goaltend on your own basket, it was an inadvertent whistle and a jump ball. This is confirmed by the fact that the Huskies not only won the tap but were awarded the next jump ball in overtime.
The flaw, however, is that based on the NCAA rulebook, that was "UConn's basket" until the refs realize their mistake. From Rule 5, Section 1, Article 3:
When the official(s) permits a team to go in the wrong direction, and when the error is discovered all activity and time consumed shall count as though each team had gone in the proper direction. Play shall be resumed with each team going in the proper direction.
My interpretation of that rule is that the goaltend should have been awarded and UConn should have gotten the two points.
And while it was just one bucket with 4:48 left, it was a momentum changer that potentially changed the outcome of the game.
This about sums it up:
Going wrong way to start overtime. Pretty good metaphor for the Big East Conference.—

Change is something fans of D.C.'s The Dismemberment Plan have grown accustomed to over the years, as the band has proven to make vast leaps in maturity with each album. Somewhere between the release of their clumsy 1995 debut, "!", and 1997's more balanced but no less raucous Is Terrified!, the band discovered the advantages of rock balladry and pensive lyrics. With 1999's Emergency & I, they hit their stride, recording a landmark underground classic which rocketed them-- almost overnight-- into the stratosphere of indie rock's elite. But when The Dismemberment Plan decided to title their new album Change, they weren't fucking around.
After the primal energy and speak/singalong teenage anthems of Emergency & I, Change comes as a bit of a jolt. No longer intent on inciting dancefloor riots through funk-laden post-punk explosions, the new Dismemberment Plan is more reflective, more sentimental, and, perhaps shockingly, confidently collected. Whereas their last album cruised through 12 tracks with a pummeling frenzy that sent audiences into fits of unrestrained revelry, the band rarely kicks into overdrive on Change, instead pondering their place in the world and the prosaic nature of day-to-day life. That's right: they've settled down.
There are few things more detested in youth than the inevitable mellowing that comes with age, so should the band be derided for gracefully succumbing to adulthood or applauded for refusing to grow stagnant? Obviously, it depends on the final product. And Change, while unquestionably more mature than anything The Dismemberment Plan have released in the past, is also, at times, an incredibly powerful record that can make mundane ruminations seem like Socratic philosophy.
Of all indie rock's leading voices, few have a way with words like Plan frontman Travis Morrison. His hypnotic musings on everything from lonely New Year's celebrations in unfamiliar cities to nuclear decimation have always been an integral element of the band's sound and success. On Emergency & I, his lyrics blended with the electric onslaught to create visceral moments of uplift and sonic bliss. On Change, however, they've become the primary focus of the songs, with the band trading in raging vigor for polite, polyrhythmic grooves.
The subjects of these songs lack some of the creativity of past works-- there are no memory machines to wash away the grief, no supernatural invitations from anyone to do anything-- but Morrison's uncanny ability to capture a moment in photographic detail has developed into poetic mastery. On one of the album's highlights, the stripped-bare "Automatic", he moans, "I could see you through the dirty waves/ Smiling like a vampire as you disappeared beneath the whitecaps.../ I could feel my toes curl through the yellow sand/ As I watched you slip away." On the bizarre "Face of the Earth", in which he contemplates the expression of a girlfriend just before she's unexpectedly and permanently sucked into the sky, he sings, "I freeze the look of pre-alert and study it still/ Her smile starts to loosen/ Her pupils yawn wide." And then there's the highly quotable line from what is far and away the album's clear standout, "Time Bomb": "I am a time bomb/ And I only live in that one moment in which you die."
Though devoid of the urgency the band built their name on, Change is the most musically cohesive of The Dismemberment Plan's records to date. The album kicks off with "Sentimental Man", which bridges the gap between the Talking Heads' Remain in Light and Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark with drummer Joe Easley and bassist Eric Axelson forming a busy, aquatic undercurrent for the quiescent, drugged guitar and droning keyboard. The song flows seamlessly into "Face of the Earth", whose temperament is similarly mild-mannered until it opens up with blaring, Jawbox-esque guitar jangle.
"Superpowers" is the first of the album's truly great tracks, documenting events witnessed through extra-sensory perception ("I've been cornered by the screams of a body as it freed itself of its mind"). "Pay for the Piano" harkens back to The Dismemberment Plan of old with surging guitars and that trademark wired dynamism that pulsed through the band's best songs. "Come Home" follows with what is-- next to the excellent "Automatic"-- Change's quietest track. Unfortunately, where "Automatic" contains some of the album's best lyrics, "Come Home" is too self-pitying, and its lack of any melodic hook gets tired long before it stretches past the five-minute mark.
The intensely rhythmic "Secret Curse" ushers in a welcome high point, though. The song embodies the fragile tenseness of anxiety as Morrison spits out words at a rate even record-holding typists couldn't transcribe ("Anonymous hex on flavorless food and terrible sex a day of no rhythm a night of no rest"). The lyrical misgivings of "Following Through" (most notably, the spine-shivering "it could have been off the hook, now") are redeemed by chiming guitar, heartbeat percussion, and a beautifully harmonized chorus.
But Change closes on a less intriguing note with two songs: the jungle-flavored "The Other Side" and the story of "Ellen and Ben". Both songs pass with only minor complaints: the former, while one of the most musically creative songs in the band's catalog, suffers lyrically from a lack of any real point; the latter details the rise and fall of a romantic relationship through the eyes of a gossiping outsider. But even while these tracks are decent enough, they lack both the kinetic energy of the band's earlier material, and the engaging lyrical insight that dominates the rest of the record.
So, yes. The Dismemberment Plan we once knew and loved has indeed changed, and like any change, it takes some getting used to. Initially, the tribal percussion and sometimes maudlin tone may not sit well. You might notice small imperfections, such as the mix, which seems slightly muddier this time out, or Morrison's emotive "yeah's" which can occasionally be a little abrasive. But with repeated listens, its positive traits-- like Easley's unbelievably creative drumming, Axelson's volatile basslines, and the richly textured keyboards-- begin to pile up, eventually outweighing its negatives tenfold.
Sure, it's hard to shake that nagging feeling that it's too early in The Dismemberment Plan's career for this kind of shift, that they had so much more to explore in their endearingly spazzy rock vein. But metamorphosis can be a beautiful thing, and like the butterfly retains a part of the caterpillar, Change retains a part of the pre-mutated Dismemberment Plan. You see, they're still the same band they always were. They're just prettier now.

Whatever Happened To Bushwhacker Luke?, Update On Stacy Keibler-George Clooney
by Amish Patel - July 09, 2013
- Clearwater Gazette recently caught up with Luke Williams of The Bushwhackers, who is now the proud owner of a gym in Clearwater, Florida, known as Clearwater Beach Fitness.
Williams paid a visit to Clearwater late last year and was encouraged by Hulk Hogan to move to the area. As he was searching for a gym to work out at, he was offered the opportunity to buy the area beach gym.
Formerly known as Muscle Beach Fitness, Williams has given the gym a major makeover, and has even equipped it with a few machines that once belonged to "The Hulkster." Click here for additional details on the gym, as well as Williams' background.
– Following reports that Stacy Keibler and actor George Clooney had split as a couple, the former WWE Diva was a top-trending topic on Yahoo.com late Monday and early Tuesday. The break-up was sparked by both individuals wanting "different things in life," according to People.com.
"Stacy called it quits. She wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that," a source close to the couple told People.com. "They talked and they quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago."

COSTUME-CLAD supermarket staff hit the right note with young unpaid carers as they rocked around the clock to mark the launch of a year of fund-raising for the Carers Trust.
Colleagues at The Co-operative in St John's have chosen the Trust as their charity of the year to benefit from the fund-raising efforts of staff, members and customers over the next 12 months.
The money will go towards helping the charity provide desperately needed breaks, information, advice and support for 14 to 25 year-olds facing the challenges of caring.
Staff chose a Rock Around the Clock theme to mark the launch in acknowledgement of the 24/7 nature of the challenges facing an estimated 500,000 young people, across the UK, who care for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or, have mental health or addiction problems.
Store manager Richard Brixey said: "We're delighted that Carers Trust is our Charity of the Year and, that we have the chance to make a difference to the lives of young people in our communities who undertake practical and emotional caring responsibilities for a family member or friend who cannot cope without their support."

Home Again released by Wildfire
This is a big month for Wildfire. They've released a new single, signed with a new booking agency, and are looking forward to the release of their first album since 2010 early next year.
Let's take those in turn, shall we?
The single is I Want to Go Back Home Again, written and sung by founding member Robert Hale. It's a contemporary bluegrass number about that familiar feeling that hits when the pressure and responsibility of life weighs you down, and returning home to see mom and dad, family and friends, seems like just the thing.
Radio programmers can download the track now at Airplay Direct. Here's a sample.
The band got its start in 2000, when Phil Leadbetter, Curt Chapman, and Darrell Webb left JD Crowe & the New South to team up with Hale and Barry Abernathy as Wildfire. Hale, on guitar and lead vocals, and Chapman, on bass, are the sole original members, augmented by Johnny Lewis on banjo, Chris Davis on mandolin, and Greg Luck on fiddle.
They will be represented going forward by the Andrea Roberts Agency in Nashville, who also handles Flatt Lonesome, Grasstowne, and Ronnie Reno.
Roberts says that she is rarin' to go.
"I am delighted to be working with Wildfire. I have been a longtime fan of the band and I believe their latest efforts are the best yet. I can't wait to set the world on Wildfire!"
There is no set release date for the as-yet untitled 2015 album, which will be released on Pinecastle Records. The single is available for sale as a download now from the Pinecastle web site.
