For years -- decades, actually -- Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City has been considered one of the toughest places to play for an opponent. In 2005, Sports Illustrated dubbed it No. 1 among the toughest places to play.
Long before that, noise levels on game day were calculated by local experts in that field and found to be as high as 116 decibels. That's louder than a jet engine taking off (106 decibels), or at least that's what the Chiefs made sure to tell the rest of the league about its home venue.
A year ago, after some down seasons, the Chiefs started 7-0 at home. The Arrowhead magic was back in Todd Haley's second season as coach. Or so it was thought.
Then came a 31-10 loss to Oakland, a 30-7 loss to Baltimore in a wild-card playoff game and a 41-7 loss to the Bills in this year's home opener. It was the worst season-opening loss in Chiefs history. And it came against a team the Chiefs beat at home 13-10 in overtime a year ago.
"I think it's only intimidating if you're playing good football," Haley told Minnesota reporters yesterday.
The Chiefs take that three-game home slump (and the 102-24 margin of defeat) into Sunday's game against the Vikings. It's not exactly a marquee matchup, but Haley talked about how much is on the line for two 0-3 teams.
"A lot," he said. "What do they say about wounded animals backed in a corner."
Although Arrowhead has been tame of late, it's still going to be a challenge for the Vikings, especially for a dysfunctional offense that's still taking baby steps. Haley, however, isn't counting on the power of Arrowhead helping his Chiefs.
"We had very good success last year at Arrowhead for the most part," Haley said. "We really truly developed a home-field advantage. ... But when you're not a very good football team, that intimidation factor [at home] disappears pretty quick."

I have been listening to the radio lately, and something that has happened twice recently caught my attention.
Two mountain lions have wandered into civilization. They were pursued, captured and shot with a tranquilizer gun. They have both died. One death I can see, but two healthy animals dying after being tranquilized is too much.
The Division of Wildlife Resources should reevaluate their tranquilizer techniques, so we can avoid this in the future.

David Goldman
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- If Internet traffic is going to triple over the next five years, as Cisco predicts, we're gonna need a bigger boat.
On Wednesday, Cisco unveiled its latest solution to help wireless carriers and Internet service providers manage their customers' insatiable demand for more streaming videos, app downloads and social networking.
The new core router technology, known as "CRS-X," will provide speeds of 400 Gigabits per second -- and that's just for one slot on the router's rack. Each rack is scalable up to 6.4 Terabits per second, and the entire CRS-X system is capable of nearly 1 Petabit per second if multiple racks are set up in tandem.
That is insanely fast -- double anything that currently exists on the market.
A single CRS-X rack will be able to provide streaming HD video to every New Yorker simultaneously, Cisco claims. A full, multichassis setup is capable of downloading the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in a split second and can stream every movie ever created in about a minute.
Core routers sit at the epicenter of the Internet, serving as the traffic cops at the biggest intersections on the busiest data highways. They connect visitors' requests to sites like Google, Netflix and Facebook and they send data back to the right place in return.
They're a crucial part of the Internet backbone, and one that Cisco has a comfortable lead in. Cisco has 750 CRS customers, selling 10,000 systems to date, and it commands a roughly 65% share of the core routing market. That's more than double No. 2 Juniper's share.
Cisco says its solution is cheaper than Juniper's offerings. For instance, customers who installed Cisco's previous core router, dubbed CRS-3, in 2010, can upgrade to CRS-X by simply swapping out their CRS-3 cards for the new ones. In previous updates, Juniper has required customers to buy entire new router setups to upgrade their systems.
"It's as easy as putting in new line cards," said Stephen Liu, Cisco's director of service provider marketing. "For all intents and purposes, it'll then be a CRS-X -- except for what the paint on the outside says."
Cisco says the CRS-X will help customers prepare for the "Internet of Everything," a much-discussed (but yet-to-arrive) world in which household items, cars and even clothing will connect to the Internet. Instead of connecting 4 million devices simultaneously, carriers and ISPs may soon need to connect 40 million items at the same time.
That's why modern core routers like the CRS-X manage different kinds of traffic in separate ways. You'll have a miserable experience if your Netflix video stream keeps getting interrupted, but you likely wouldn't notice if it takes a split second longer to load a website.
"The innovation our customers are getting isn't just about faster speeds and more lanes on the highway," said Liu. "It's more like a GPS system that helps you find the best path based on traffic congestion."
Though the CRS-X won't go on sale until the fall or even begin shipping until the end of 2013, customers are already saying they're impressed. Mike Haberman, vice president of network operations at Verizon Wireless said the new CRS system will help the nation's largest wireless provider meet its service demands "well into the future."

Last year, BMW first introduced the world to the BMW Concept X5 eDrive and now the "concept" vehicle is visiting the New York Autoshow. This is by far one of the more interesting prospects for BMW in the realm of electrified vehicles, especially from the POV of people who can't yet make the full leap to the BMWi vehicles.
The X5 is powered by a combination of a BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder combustion engine and a 95-horsepower electric motor. This results in an average MPG … CONTINUED

The result is a vehicle which can scarcely be equalled in terms of power, sporting performance and superiority – and the AC Schnitzer version will be presented for the first time at the 84th Motor Show in Geneva from … CONTINUED

Here's an extended road trip report by one of our F15 X5 owners of his F15 X5 xDrive35i xLine.
The X5 eDrive plug-in hybrid model has now been spotted undergoing testing. These may only be a couple of photos, but we already know what the F15 X5 looks like. We expect the X5 eDrive to launch sometime around late 2014 – early 2015.
As for specs? The X5 eDrive Concept model was unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show last September and featured:
BMW has been advertising the 2014 F15 X5 with the tagline "The Boss is Back" (seen at the end of the second ad below) and the latest commercial coming out of Japan humorously shows just how boss the new X5 is — stopping a tough biker gang and a train dead in their tracks. The boss X5 is of course given the right of way.

Playoff bubble watch — Blue Jackets edition
Apr 3, 2014, 12:14 PM EST
Three games in four nights — starting tonight in Philadelphia — will help decide whether the Blue Jackets return to the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history.
According to Sports Club Stats, Columbus has a 79.9 percent chance of qualifying for the postseason. A record in the neighborhood of 3-3-1 in the team's final seven games should get the job done.
After tonight's game, the Jackets return home to face the Blackhawks (who are minus Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane for the rest of the regular season) on Friday, and then the Islanders Sunday.
If they can get four points out of those three games, they'll be sitting nicely with a home game against Phoenix on Tuesday, followed by a three-game road trip (to Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Florida) to close out the schedule.
If they somehow blow it, they'll have wasted a golden opportunity to give their long-suffering fans some playoff excitement.
Despite the team's struggles since entering the NHL in 2000, there remains a feeling that Columbus could be an outstanding hockey market, if only the Jackets were more successful on the ice. It's not a city with much in the way of pro-sports competition, and the biggest show in town — Ohio State football — only runs until January (at the latest).
"We've still got work to do with some folks, and we've not shied away from that," president of hockey operations John Davidson told the Columbus Dispatch recently. "People have been disappointed by their hockey team here through the years, and so we have a lot to prove to those people."
- reasonableperson1 - Apr 3, 2014 at 12:22 PM
The Jackets need to make the playoffs and at least win a game or two. Columbus could be a very solid hockey market, fans just need to see more than one playoff appearance (swept at that) since 2000. They pretty much control their own destiny, time to get it done.
- bcsteele - Apr 3, 2014 at 12:33 PM
Really can't help but pull for them and honestly I can at least see some progress now in structuring a winning team. They still got a ways to go in getting the pieces together and bringing their young guys along but I like the way they play. Best of luck Jackets!
- govtminion - Apr 3, 2014 at 12:37 PM
I've always marveled that in a league where more than 50% of teams get into the playoffs at the end of the season, Columbus has managed one appearance in over a decade of existence. It almost seems like mathematically that shouldn't be possible.
Here's hoping they get in this year- and that they win a couple of games. It looks like they're on track to do it, for sure… Those fans deserve to finally get something to cheer about in April.
…As a Bruins fan, of course, I'm hoping not to get them at all, because I don't want to cheer against them at this point, but I wouldn't mind seeing them steal a game or two even then. Loving what the Jackets are starting to build, at long last- that's a fun team to watch.
- dutchman1350 - Apr 3, 2014 at 1:33 PM
The CBJ always tried to win, which hurt them in the long run. They should have tanked (like Pitt and Chicago) and get some top picks. Regardless, JD and Todd Richards have turned the locker room attitude around, which was something Rick Nash couldn't do (although he was put in a bad situation being named Captain).
- getadealdonealready - Apr 3, 2014 at 4:14 PM
Am I the only one confused on how these percentages work? I don't understand how you could trail Dallas in points, and they have a game in hand, but still an 80% chance to make the post-season.
- mrpinkca - Apr 3, 2014 at 10:41 PM
The Blue Jackets were realigned to the eastern conference. They hold the 2nd wild card and are 3 points up on the 9th place Maple Leafs with a game in hand.
The 79.9 comes from simulating all possible outcomes of the remaining relevant games. At this point they're are roughly 90 games remaining each with 6 possible outcomes (regulation, OT, or shootout win for either team). This means there are probably around 100,000 different possible outcomes (it's actually probably a lot more than that, but whatever). The 79.9% means that in 79,900 of the 100,000 possible outcomes, Columbus makes the playoffs.

Noted Vt. fishing writer Merwin dies at 66The Associated Press | February 24,2013Provided Photo
John Merwin of Dorset holds up a large bass in this undated photo provided by Field & Stream magazine.John Merwin of Vermont, one of the nations pre-eminent fishing writers who authored or edited 15 books on the subject, has died.
He was 66.
Merwin, a Dorset resident, died Wednesday at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
He was fishing editor for Field & Stream magazine for nearly two decades, starting in 1994.
Dave Hurteau, deputy editor of Field & Stream, said Merwin caught everything from piranhas in the Amazon to Atlantic salmon in Ireland.
Among Merwins books are Trailside Guide to Fly Fishing and The New American Trout Fishing.
Of the latter book, Kirk Dieter, editor-at-large for Field & Stream and editor of Trout magazine, said: He spun tales reminiscent of Robert Traver, Roderick Haig-Brown and Thomas McGuane, while explaining the sports finer points with supreme clarity. It is the best modern book on trout fishing, period.
Born in 1946 in Norwalk, Conn., Merwin started fishing with his father at age 3 and never stopped, Hurteau said.
Merwin moved to Vermont in 1970, and in 1979, out of his basement, launched Rod & Reel magazine (now Fly Rod & Reel). Merwin followed that up with Fly Tackle Dealer, a trade magazine.

Products to help manage the heat - need recommendations
Hi all! I know that managing the heat can be a popular subject and I have done some searching through the search function, but I am not quite finding what I am looking for. I am familiar with the standard strategies of frequenting indoor attractions and shops, drinking lots of water, going back to the room during midday, etc. I am looking for recommendations on products that we can use to help us manage the heat.
Background: DH has a hard time with heat. He is a big guy, born and raised in the upper midwest and loves winter. He even goes camping in winter... We normally don't visit the World during summer for this very reason. My 40th birthday is coming up on June 1st and we are making an exception so that we can celebrate at my favorite place. I am trying to make this as comfortable as possible for him, especially since this is his first trip in 5 years. I have seen a LOT of products out there that promise to help manage the heat (Chilly Towel, Frogtogg Chilly Pad, endless brands of misting fans, etc), but I have no idea what really works and what doesn't.
Anyone have any recommendations for me?

I have actually used those neck bands that you soak in water and then refridgerate. They work moderately well.
Other than wearing a wide brimmed hat, keeping your shoulders covered and drink lots, there's not much you can do. My dh hates the heat....but, we're going down in early Sept, so he's just going to have to deal with it.
It's really not the heat, it's the humidity! Dd and I will be there May 28-June 2...so we're prepared to be hot and sticky!!!

We always bring misting fans and they do help . We have 4 of them- one for each of us. I bought them at Walmart . We also get there for rope drop and leave around lunch to swim and then back to the park around supper .

Maybe invest in some UnderArmour Heat Gear clothing. UnderArmour brand clothes specifically labeled as Heat Gear are meant for hot weather. Athletes commonly wear this brand. The clothes are made of breathable, moisture wicking fabric that works to keep you cool and keep the moisture off your body. It also dries much faster than cotton and is much more lightweight than cotton. The socks are good too - breathable and do well at giving your feet some air. I'd also stick to the light colored clothing.

The misting fans really help, I can't survive without mine. I also find I stay cooler if I wear sandals, my feet get too hot in sneakers so I bought a pair of hiking sandals a few years ago. I did have a neckband that you soak in cold water but I didn't like it as much and it was kind of a hassle.

I bought a Chilly Pad on recommendation of one of the threads, but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I know people cut them to certain shapes, but I'm not sure what's best for me. As it is, it's huge. I don't remember seeing people with them in the parks, not that I was looking for them. But people seem to swear by them. I'm just afraid to make the first cut until I know what my plan is.
I've used the neckbands also, and they do work to an extent. Looking forward to hearing suggestions. I go this time every year, and I do use air conditioned buildings to help me deal. Luckily I do like shopping and browsing. I need my visor to keep the sun off my face. (Hats are too hot). As I get older, I seem to tolerate the heat less.

I agree with the post if getting some technical clothing. In the heat & humidity cotton isn't your friend! Wicking quick dry shirts would be good.
I don't like misting fans. We tried them 1 day, and gave it away. IMO if you don't keep it in all the time, it just makes you feel hotter when you switch it off.
Wide brim breathable hat to keep sun off tour head. Some use umbrellas.
Lucky for us, the heat doesn't bother us. We just stay hydrated and we're fine. In summer we take mid day breaks during the hottest part of the day.
I have a friend who uses the neck things and says it helps.

BARRINGTON – Woonsocket scored one of its most satisfying victories of the season on Thursday night, rallying from an early 7-0 deficit to edge Barrington 48-43 and take over second place in Division I-North.
Kailey Fugere scored 30 points and Michelle Brayboy added 13 for the Villa Novans, who are now 9-3 and have won their last six league games. The victory avenged an early-season 51-32 loss to Barrington on Woonsocket's home court.
Fugere added 11 rebounds and netted the decisive basket with 40 seconds left to play as Woonsocket took a 48-43 lead and then held on for the win.

January 22, 2012: Matthew 15:21-28, Told for Younger Children
January 15, 2012 Length: 2:49
One day, a woman from Canaan met Jesus. She begged Jesus to have mercy on her. She wanted Him to heal her daughter. Her daughter was being hurt by a demon. (Demons are bad spirits that try to keep people away from God.)Jesus did not answer the woman.
After a while, Jesus' disciples begged Him to send the woman away. They did not like that she was bothering them. Jesus said, "I was only sent to help Israelites, not Canaanites.
The woman heard what Jesus said and knelt down in front of Him. She asked again, "Lord, help me."
Jesus said, "It would not be fair for me to do a miracle for a Canaanite when I am supposed to be helping Israelites. That would be like taking bread away from hungry children and feeding it to dogs."
The woman said, "That is true. But even dogs get to eat crumbs that fall off their master's table."
When Jesus heard this woman's answer, He told her, "You have very great faith! Let it be just as you wish." That very hour, the woman's daughter was healed.
What did the woman want Jesus to do?
Why did Jesus' disciples want to send the woman away?
Jesus told the woman that He was supposed to help Israelites, not Canaanites like her. But she kept asking. Did Jesus finally heal her daughter?
What about you? Do you ask Jesus for help? What will you ask Him to help you with today?
"It is my firm belief that listening to Ancient Faith Radio can provide an important building block of an authentic Orthodox spiritual life. I listen to the Ancient Faith music feed while working at my secular job as a computer programmer. It helps cut back on idle conversation and sanctifies the time, bringing spiritual life to the mind and heart. I have determined to support your ministry regularly, and encourage others to do so also. Many Years!"

What is the relationship between U.S. technology companies and the security apparatus of the U.S. government? A lawsuit might be revealing.
Seattle Times Editorial
MICROSOFT'S intention to move ahead with a lawsuit to force more information to be revealed about federal surveillance orders is welcome news for consumers.
Right now the public is in the dark about how much of its ostensibly private communication has been shared with the National Security Agency (NSA) and how vigorously the technology companies cooperated.
Microsoft filed suit in June, and last week the company's general counsel Brad Smith announced in a blog that negotiations with the federal government had broken down. Microsoft and Google would proceed in court.
This is a legal skirmish, but it is also a public-relations battle for the hearts and minds of consumers who have been reading about vast access to information stored by cloud-computing providers, as well as generic email traffic.
This is a war of words, without any intermediary to sort out the facts for consumers. Maybe some form of legally induced transparency is what it will take.
News accounts in The Guardian in July referred to files provided by Edward Snowden, the U.S. secrets leaker who sought refuge in Russia. The story said, "Microsoft has collaborated closely with U.S. intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption."
Smith in a July blog lamented significant inaccuracies in the interpretation of the leaked government files. No keys to data were provided, Smith wrote, and he said Microsoft only provided specified content it was compelled by law to give.
Microsoft wants the government to be more forthcoming about its own requests and to differentiate for the public between requests for information about individual traffic and actual message content.
Existing rules preclude the technology companies from acknowledging requests sought under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
This is also a wider PR struggle over perceptions. Were the companies paid to provide information? Yes, but it was a reimbursement for expenses, as provided for law enforcement and other entities that gather requested data.
Agence France-Presse reported six large high-tech lobby groups sent a letter to President Obama saying more transparency "can assist in re-establishing trust, both domestically and globally."
Transparency is important. Smith's July blog notes that "Microsoft is obligated to comply with the applicable laws that governments around the world — not just the United States — pass, and this includes responding to legal demands for customer data." Indeed, what is being shared with whom?
Elaboration in open court about the nature of corporate duties to turn over information to all governments would be illuminating.

School choice up to parents
What if public schools are eventually federally consolidated in essence, and other choices regulated awayunder the guise of "quality control" – in order to essentially protect us from ourselves? Well, at least we'd be free from the concerns of having a local school board to complain about.
Superintendent finalists face new priorities, public evaluation
The Columbia Public School Board is narrowing down its list of five candidates to focus on economically savvy, community-involved individuals. The final candidates will be announced by Sunday and will answer public questions in meetings next week.
Closing Gitmo may be more complicated than it seems
A quick closure of Guantanamo is beyond the parameters of simply executing an executive order. Of the 245 or so detainees remaining there, many are far too dangerous to be released here or in their home countries.
Horrors of Gaza war seen up close and personal
An MU student arrived in Israel when rockets started to fly and riots began last month.

There are a couple of seats coming up for re-election on the City Council. One in the Sixth Ward is currently held by Barbara Hoppe, who plans to run for re-election.

Neo-Nazi nonsense best ignored
By getting up in arms about a racist group's involvement in the Adopt-A-Highway program, we're doing nothing but giving more power and credence to people we should try to collectively ignore.

Industry-funded studies of the chemical found in hard plastics and metal food cans cannot be trusted.
LETTER: City shouldn't waste time with wind
A wind turbine farm in Boone County will not generate enough energy for Columbia.
Personal responsibility takes backseat in society
Americans must adopt a desire for greater individual responsibility to improve our society and avoid negative outcomes like the current economic crisis.
LETTER: Stealing from handicapped son is really low
A Columbia resident expresses anger over the theft of her son's paycheck. With the loss of the money, her and her family's lifestyle is being affected.
Obama's international impact yet to be seen
President Obama has already taken several steps toward building international relations, but some say it's still too early to tell how much his presidency will actually affect U.S. global affairs.

School Board member Ines Segert should be commended for doing what she thinks is right for both her family and community.

Immigration law and border control should be addressed with a positive approach.
Missourian to pursue how race matters

3. Cruciferous Veggies
Veggies are at the top of the list when it comes to daily fuel. They are low in calories and high in fiber and essential nutrients. Need some suggestions? "Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, and bok choy are all part of the cruciferous vegetable group and research shows that these veggies may help protect against cancer by reducing oxidative stress and stimulating enzymes in the body that fight carcinogens," says Zuckerbrot. "A study analyzing the diets of men showed that those who ate five or more servings of these veggies per week were 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer, which affects two to three times as many men as women."

Maybe it was a mini hiatus or maybe as you said this was one of the first prominent matches he'd been in since '89, here's the match anyways:
Steamboat/Rhodes vs Arn/Zbyszko :
Dustin Rhodes vs Vader (Saturday Night 11/21/92) :
Dustin Rhodes vs Vader (COTC XXIX 11/16/94) :
Had the '94 match as my #30 in WCW history, but truth be told it would be closer to top 10 these days having rewatched it. Just an amazing underdog babyface performance from Rhodes complimented by Vader delivering as the ruthless monster, but with the added benefit of Rhodes being big enough to hurt Vader and them teasing and building to that moment in beautiful fashion.
Assuming I'm not confusing it with another match they had, Malenko/Ultimo really surprised me and ended up making my final list which did shock me considering I don't think much of either guy as a worker. Having just checked it made my #85. Think there were other matches worked closer to my preferred style which is why I kept it that low, because its certainly a good match but given what WCW was putting out from 89-94 in particular most of my list was dominated by those years and the endless tags and singles matches of absolute quality.
Speaking of further underrated tags, Faces of Fear vs Jericho and Eddie from Nitro 2/24/97 is another gem:
Yeah1993 brought it up. Totally forgot about Steamboat's second stint with WWF in the very early 90's. One of those "if you blink, you'll miss it" type affairs. He was scheduled to work at Survivor Series '91, but by the time the event rolled around he was already out. So he showed up in WCW again swiftly.
I'll hit up all those matches tomorrow. Along with the Midnight Express 6 man that I haven't gotten around to. I blame all the mess of WCW goodness I find on dailymotion through recommendation lists.
Ultimo vs Malenko had a few, or maybe a handful, of matches in WCW around the late '96 - early '97 time. That's probably the right match. Especially if the date is next to it on your list. It made it nonetheless. That's
YES. I own that Nitro on DVD so I'm well aware of the awesome presence of the tag. Reminds me of why I enjoyed Faces of Fear as a kid. Especially Haku/Meng. On a WWF MSG show in the 90's there was a Haku vs Davey Smith match that OWNED. Seems to be one of the most noteworthy Haku matches off the top of my head. Plus he had a fun Hogan encounter that's on Hogan's Unreleased Matches set. I liked his style.

I grew up a very right wing conservative in the Maryland Suburbs of Washington, DC. I was actually known as "Mr. Republican." It helped that I wore a tie as a conservative statement. I also wore a Bush/Quayle button for much of 1992 and carried around Rush Limbaugh's books. After President Clinton took office, I attached an "Impeach Hillary" button to my backpack.

Can Mormons see Grey? Dealing with Difference Part II
Roughly speaking we can talk of two different ways of conceptualizing a world imbued with morality—as black-and-white or as shades of grey. In regards to our religion, I see faithful members of the Church in both camps. Those that see in black-and-white, view the Spirit as a power that is either present, or is not.
